'Fairly Legal' Star Ryan Johnson: I Want to Hug Russell Crowe
According to our calendars, Thursday April 26 is officially Hug An Australian Day. What better way to celebrate than with an official approval from Down Under by Ryan Johnson, the new hottie on Fairly Legal?
Ryan tells Celebuzz he fully endorses the holiday (which he had never heard of until we told him). This is a real thing that's happening, people! Which Aussie star would he want to embrace most?
"I'm all for it," he says with a laugh. "I think everyone who knows an Aussie should call that Aussie and tell them to stand on the street corner that day. So pretty much anywhere you are, you can just see one and hug them."
As for his choice, "I'd like to hug Russell Crowe," he says. Although Russ has a bit of a reputation for being scrappy. "I think the guy has a real tender side," Ryan adds. "We could have a hug and just read some poetry together."
Hugs aside, Ryan had the daunting task of joining Fairly Legal in the second season after the cast already knew each other.
"At first, it was quite intimidating," he admits. "I thought the show was really cool and I thought the actors were really good [before the audition]. I landed the job and I started to realize that this was serious."
The cast quickly helped him find his footing. "It was quite nerve wrecking, because I got there and there was Virginia Williams, Michael Trucco, and Baron Vaughn," Ryan adds. "They are such good actors, but the coolest things about those guys is that they were so welcoming and supportive the whole way. I never felt like I was playing catch up."
Although we dig his accent, he had to ditch it to play his money-hungry character. "It is something you really have to work on," he reveals. "The accent thing definitely takes work, but we are a little more conditioned to it. We pretty much get all the big American shows here, so our ears are finely tuned to the American accent. We can differentiate between L.A., New York and New Jersey."
Ryan also shared his love for Mad Men -- and series star January Jones! "I've had a bit of January Jones thing going for a while," he says. "My first week of shooting [Fairly Legal] I got to meet and work with Mark Moses and being a Mad Men fan I was pretty excited to meet Duck [Phillips from Mad Men].
He's also a fan of social media! Tweet Ryan @ryanjohnsonofoz to give him a virtual hug this Thursday!

Awesome sign for Ron Paul 2012 that I had to photograph for the Daily PaulSubmitted by joeinmo on Sun, 06/24/2012 - 12:48
Traveling on I-44 in SW Missouri and seen this awesome sign made out of 10 Ft High white letters.
In can be seen by tens of thousands of interstate travelers a day.
It's in Sarcoxie MO.
Great job to whoever did this
- Login to post comments
Ha! Eat your heart out, Romney. You will never inspire
the passion, support, and loyalty that Ron Paul does. Nor you, Rand,
Let's cover the whole country with Ron Paul signs. Screw the GOP!
That is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
So many proofs of the grassroots everywhere to be found....
Norfolk, VA
Time to INVESTIGATE the investigators of 9/11. PROSECUTE the prosecutors. EXPOSE the cover-up.
No other
candidate supporters do this at all, WHATSOEVER! Occasionally I see an Obama 2012 bumpersticker (at which point I think "how stupid are these people" of course) but nowhere and for nobody else other than Paul do I see signs anywhere. We just got back from a long vacation in Eastern Oregon and Ron Paul was the obvious choice of the farming community if you were to only pay attention to banners/signs/stickers... etc.
I have seen that
And I just love it... I have pics also....
Wow! Thanks Patriots, feels good to stand beside you
saw a few RP signs on freeway overpass in CA too. Great work fellow patriots. Keep the momentum going. Never quit.
The RNC and the GOP screwed up
Big time thinking they can fraud the entire US out of a fair and just FEDERAL election process.
The delegates are unboud, the RNC know this but they are trying to violate our voting rights by intemidation, coersion, election fraud, and outright violence as was witnessed by millions in LA.
If you are not ourtraged then you are not paying attention.
It started out about the election fraud, delegated disenfranchizement but now it has become obvious that they've included the entire US and it's citizenry in their criminal acts of ELECTION FRAUD. They are basically telling us that our vote and voice doesn't count and they will install whom they want regardless of what the American Citizens have to say.
The have gone too far for too long. When the American Citizens stand together against this criminal cabal with the FEDERAL LAW on our side, they don't have a chance.
word up
When was last time anyone saw an Obama or Romney sign like that. One that wasn't paid for by goldman sachs.
the first pic was awesome
a picture taken of another taking the same picture
If we deny truth before your very eyes,then the rest of what we have to say,is of little consequence
This was put up last year
In November.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
This Sign Should Be in All Fifty States, on every major highway
for all Americans to see! 1,000 signs posted throughout America should do it.
It doesnt matter because Paul is a Spineless Coward
Who wont fight back as his delegates are brutalized and disenfranchised
People have to stand up for themselves.
These delegates aren't "his" anymore than they were Romney's, right? Were they bound? If so, the affidavits were redundant, and if they weren't then the delegates and citizens/fellow Republicans are at fault for allowing this sort of obvious corruption.
Ron Paul is not Superman.
And if it lights up at night.....that would rock! :)
it appeared
to have spot lights aimed at it
One solar panel and some lights and there you go..
Great idea.
Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow
I've seen that before I
I've seen that before I think. Pretty sure that is the same one we saw on our way up from Little Rock to the Sprinfield rally.

While flying a remote-controlled helicopter, plane or even a small drone might seem like harmless, all-American park fun, it's illegal in all Santa Clarita parks, officials said.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
And flying your remote-controlled devices could earn you a citation.
The idea behind the rule banning such devices is a safety consideration, said Rick Gould, director of parks, recreation and community service for Santa Clarita.
"The code was adopted some time ago, but those types of devices, just like a golf ball or anything that's thrown, could hit a park user," Gould said.
Sheriff's Station officials are hearing an increased number of complaints involving "buzzing," or flying a remote-controlled device near a person or group of individuals, officials confirmed Monday.
"If an individual gets struck with a remote-controlled craft, it could lead to serious injury, or even death," Dubin said, citing a case in New York last year, when a man nearly decapitated himself in a fatal toy helicopter crash. "The city's policy is meant to further the safety and enjoyment of all park-goers, and violators could face a citation."
The city's rule essentially bans all remote-controlled aerial or aquatic devices unless their use is specifically sanctioned by a park official.
The city's municipal code regarding the subject (section 14.06.210 E) lays out the policy: "No person shall operate in any park any model airplane, boat, car, craft, or other similar device that is powered by an internal combustion engine, remote control, or other similar or electrical power source, except in an area and at such times as designated for such use by the director."
Buzzing and other safety concerns are the main reason for the ordinance, officials said, because things could become problematic if residents are trying to do too many disparate activities in a small area.
"If you're at a soccer game, you sort of expect a soccer ball," Gould said. "At some point, you just can't do everything in the same place."
Sheriff's Station officials noted they have seen an uptick in activity in the city's parks, including the use of remote-controlled helicopters, airplanes and boats.
Gould suggested residents take to Castaic Lake if they are so inclined with their battery-operated, remote-controlled fun.
Los Angeles County officials have an area at the lake where residents can fulfill their fun with such toys legally until their heart's content.
The FAA lays out the rules, regulations and qualifications necessary regarding commercial drone operation, which would be subject to Santa Clarita's municipal ordinance.

text: Home > Medical > Genetics > News 19 November 2012 Skin cells reveal DNA's genetic mosaic A new study of stem cells derived from the skin has found that genetic variations are widespread in the body's tissues, a finding with profound implications for genetic screening. 1 Check Assess your diabetes risk » Quiz Am I at risk for COPD? » Ask CyberDoc » 10 ways to boost your metabolism World's Most Famous TB Patients The prevailing wisdom has been that every cell in the body contains identical DNA. However, a new study of stem cells derived from the skin has found that genetic variations are widespread in the body's tissues, a finding with profound implications for genetic screening, according to Yale School of Medicine researchers. Published in the journal Nature, the study paves the way for assessing the extent of gene variation, and for better understanding human development and disease. "We found that humans are made up of a mosaic of cells with different genomes," said lead author Flora Vaccarino, M.D., the Harris Professor of Child Psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center. "We saw that 30 percent of skin cells harbor copy number variations (CNV), which are segments of DNA that are deleted or duplicated. Previously it was assumed that these variations only occurred in cases of disease, such as cancer. The mosaic that we've seen in the skin could also be found in the blood, in the brain, and in other parts of the human body." How the research was done The longstanding belief has been that our cells have the same DNA sequence and this blueprint governs the body's functions. The Yale team's research challenges this dogma. Some scientists have hypothesised that during development, when DNA is copied from mother to daughter cells, there could be deletions, duplications and changes in the sequence of the DNA, and an entire group of genes could be affected. This premise has been incredibly difficult to test, but Vaccarino and colleagues have done so in this new study. The team used whole genome sequencing to study induced pluripotent stem cells lines (iPS), which are stem cells developed from a mature-differentiated cell. The team grew cells taken from the inner upper arms of two families. The team spent two years characterising these iPS cell lines and comparing them to the original skin cells. While observing that the genome of iPS cells closely resembles the genome of skin cells from which they originated, the team could identify several deletions or duplications involving thousands of base pairs of DNA. The team then performed additional experiments to understand the origin of those differences, and showed that at least half of them pre-existed in small fractions of skin cells. These differences were revealed in iPS cells because each iPS line is derived from one, or very few, skin cells. Vaccarino said these iPS lines could act as a magnifying glass to see the mosaic of genomic differences in the body's cells. "In the skin, this mosaicism is extensive and at least 30 percent of skin cells harbour different deletion or duplication of DNA, each found in a small percentage of cells," said Vaccarino. "The observation of somatic mosaicism has far-reaching consequences for genetic analyses, which currently use only blood samples. When we look at the blood DNA, it's not exactly reflecting the DNA of other tissues such as the brain. There could be mutations that we're missing." "These findings are shaping our future studies, and we're doing more studies of the developing brains of animals and humans to see if this variation exists there as well," Vaccarino added.

Mauritius HotelsConsidered by Mark Twain as the epitome of paradise, Mauritius certainly lives up to its illustrious reputation. Here luxury exists before a backdrop of verdant mountains, swaying palms, powder perfect beaches, and the crystal warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Don't think the island is just a pretty face however. Whether its adrenaline fueled watersports, bucket list ticking dolphin swims, or soaking up the island's diverse and colorful culture, there's plenty to do. With its hospitality as warm as the weather, Mauritius is an unwavering favorite. An island gilded with miles of immaculate beaches, you'll have more than a few to choose from when you want to top up your tan. At the north of the island you'll find Grand Bay Beach. A popular spot for sunbathing and boating, there are plenty of places to get refreshments when you need to cool down. On the west coast you'll find Mauritius' longest beach and possibly, one of the most idyllic. Bordered by Casuarina trees and tropical foliage, Flic en Flac Beach is a perfect cliché of white gold sands and calm aquamarine water. If the ocean beckons, explore its depths at the Blue Water Diving Center. Offering both introductory and professional dives, divers can visit shipwrecks, observe sharks, or explore enchanting corals teeming with vibrant fish. If you like to bag a bargain, get your haggle on at the Grand Baie Bazaar. A bustling craft market, here you'll find one-of-a-kinds galore.Hotels in MauritiusFrom celeb favored 5-star villas to sprawling family resorts, there are hotels on Mauritius Island to appeal to every pocket and preference. Many sit right on the beachfront, gifting you with daily vistas of the glittering Indian Ocean. If you're one for the finer things, the island is encrusted with posh hotels, all promising the ritziest of stays. Expect palatial suites, pampering spas, pristine golf courses, and Michelin standard restaurants amongst the luxury. There's plenty of affordable hotels on Mauritius Island too, both full service and rental apartments, all offering a slice of paradise. Whilst there are a variety of thriftier options, they may distance you from the beach. Where to stayMany visitors opt for a hotel in Mauritius' most popular tourist spot, Grand Bay on the north of the island. A vivacious hub studded with superb shopping and dining options, it's also home to the island's liveliest nighttime haunts. Sunbaked R&R is still a priority however, particularly on its stunning beaches. For all out tranquility, look to Flic en Flac. The once fishing village is now a luxury laden haven of pampering, relaxation, and genteel leisure. Belle Mare offers a similar stay, but with less in the way of shops and restaurants. Instead you'll find thatched beachfront 5-stars, existing in glitzy seclusion amongst the lush greenery.How to get to MauritiusSir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International is the island's primary airport, serving a healthy handful of major destinations should you need a connecting flight. Once you've landed the journey to your hotel can be made by taxi or a pre-booked shuttle service if your hotel isn't already providing a transfer. If you're getting into a taxi it's advisable that you agree a rate before setting off, as journeys are rarely metered. Another alternative if you want to explore the island is to hire a car. Whilst it can set you back, it's possible to barter if you're staying for a while.

Earlier this week I noticed a plump gray bird begging food from a smaller bird about two-thirds its size. While the smaller bird searched for insects and worms in the leaf litter, the larger bird would stay just a few inches behind it, showing its gaping mouth and giving harsh cries. The smaller bird was a song sparrow and the baby bird was indeed being raised by it, but it was not a song sparrow. It was a juvenile brown-headed cowbird.
It's a sad story, really. Brown-headed cowbirds are brood parasites, meaning the adults build no nest, instead opting to lay their eggs in other birds' nests and leaving the parenting duties to them. Usually the "parasitized" species is a much smaller species, which gives the young cowbird a competitive advantage in the sibling rivalries.
Songbirds of most species feed the chick that is able to open its mouth first or the widest. When a parent sparrow, warbler, thrush or flycatcher returns to the nest with food, the larger, more aggressive cowbird gets the food. This is repeated over and over again until the true chicks die. Cowbird chicks also tend to crowd out the other chicks and push them out of the nest way too early. They don't survive.
Birders are often conflicted when they find a nest with a cowbird egg in it. Cowbirds can negatively impact populations of native species, so there is a temptation for us to remove it. But brown-headed cowbirds also are a native species and are doing only what they evolved to do.
And it's not all the cowbird's fault either. Humans have a hand in it. Cowbirds are birds of open country, not deep woodlands. The fragmentation of our landscape has resulted in patches of woods being much reduced in size, allowing the cowbirds access to woodland species that did not evolve having to deal with the cowbird threat.
To get an idea of the impact cowbirds can have on other native species, consider that cowbirds form huge flocks in the winter of thousands of individuals. Each individual cowbird represents one failed nesting of another native species. I find that realization staggering.

I would never have even heard of this film, but caught it on a flight once and really enjoyed it. It does have a bit of a made for TV movie, rather than big budget feel, but the plot is very intriguing. Jesse Metcalf is a journalist looking for a big story. He targets the District Attorney, played by Michael Douglas, who he thinks is fixing evidence to win cases. He stages a crime and makes himself the prime suspect, holding back evidence that will show that he didn't commit the crime. It is an original plot and well acted. It has a bit of a Hitchcock feel to it. I really enjoyed it and bar a little bit of plot convenience, this was well acted and original. Give it a try.

You won't find a bigger fan of film noir than me. LA Confidential is one of my favourite films. Casey Affleck is a superb actor. Excellent in Gone Baby Gone. Add to this, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson and you have a very good and beautiful cast. The early violent scene is beyond shocking and isn't something you would want to watch, let alone watch again. I have seen many violent scenes in films but it is especially long, graphic and disgusting. The rest of the film wasn't great. It isn't very plausible and the characters in the film aren't very appealing. There is nothing wrong with the acting, but the story didn't hold my interest. I'm sure you can find many other good 50's set films out there. But avoid this one.

It has been a lean couple of years for movies. So many sequels and 12 certificate comic book movies dumbed down to feed the masses. This film reminded me of the Steven Seagal types, the few good ones (Under Siege, Executive Decision), with brilliant action and effects, a very good cast and a great pace throughout. From the opening, when the terrorists brutally attack Washington DC, to Gerard's Butler's attempt to infiltrate the Whitehouse, this has superb action, effects and tension throughout. It reminded me of Under Siege, Die Hard, Executive Decision etc. So glad to see a film I want to buy, rather than the amount of average nonsense that has been out lately. Implausible, OTT, maybe, but this is real popcorn entertainment, good actors, special effects from the top drawer. Superb.

Watched this on a recent plane flight. Lots of action and violence. An incredible cast including Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin as cops who chase down crime lord Mickey Cohen, played by Sean Penn, with Emma Stone thrown in as a gangsters mol. It is quite crude and violent at times, but still sets the 50's scene well. LA Confidential is one of my favourite films ever and this doesn't quite have the gripping plot or subtlety, but it is a period we do not see often enough in films. This is well worth a watch. It also reminded me of the Untouchables a bit, which is again slightly superior, but this is solid entertainment none the less.

I bought the 3 series on DVD and loved most of the episodes. Rented this film and was so disappointed. In the main the storyline is dire. The script is not much better and it isn't anywhere near as funny as the series. It still made loads of money, but fans of the series deserved so much more. Let's hope if they come back for another pay day someone else writes it. Clearly beyond a 25 mins episode was too much for them.

One of the most brutal horror movies I have seen. Gritty and realistic attack on the woman who "dies" and then gets her bloody revenge on the gang. Some of the most brutal revenge scenes you will see. It does what it says on the tin, this one.

I like baseball. Brad Pitt is excellent in this, playing a real life story of an Oakland Athletics general manager, who frustrated by his team losing their best players to other richer clubs came up with a system of scouting/rating players which temporarily brought them success. It is a fairly simple premise, with a good script, nice support from Jonah Hill and an under-used Phillip Seymour Hoffman. This is a nice feel good movie. You certainly don't have to be a baseball fan, but one for sports fans maybe and a very good performance (Oscar Nominated) from Brad Pitt.

Loved this from Saw director James Wan. Superb revenge thriller. Kevin Bacon's son is killed by a gang doing an initiation. Kevin get his revenge on the guy and then faces a battle to save his family after the gang come after him. It just loses one mark for a slightly uncomfortable opening (cheesey family stuff) and a very silly plot hole when Kevin leaves the hospital on foot and the police don't find him or look for him at his home! Really good direction, one fantastic one shot 8-10 mins scene where Kevin is being chased by the gang through an alley way and a multi storey car park. Acting all round is very good and lots of action. You must have enjoyed Saw and while this is not as clever and more of a budget it is another worthy outing for James Wan who is a talent.

Jean Reno is an ex-drug dealer out with his son when he shot 22 times by a masked gang. He survives and one by one takes deadly revenge on a crew. The pace is good. Lots of action and shootings. We all know Jean Reno of Leon fame is an excellent actor. Highly recommended. Also try Tell No One and Point Blank, 2 other excellent French Films.

This looked interesting, bought it from play.com and watched it with a mate who was also not impressed. Despite a good cast, the plot becomes silly and after untold things happen to Adrian Brody he just forgets and walks away. Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile or The Last Castle this isn't. I've not seen Adrian Brody in many good films, but try Forrest Whittaker in The Last King Of Scotland or Street Kings. Far more enjoyable and better storylines. Prison Break is excellent too.

Farmers Facing Challenges this Season
Central Illinois may not be in a drought this year, but it's still shaping up to be a tough year for farmers. Local farmers say they will likely see a better yield this year than last year, but they've had some setbacks.
Heavy rain early in the year led to late planting. Cooler temperatures right now are slowing growth. Yields will be based largely on location.
"Last year we had a very difficult drought year," local farmer Andy Goleman said. "I think the yields this year in some places will be better. In other places it won't be as good because of the drowned out spots that are out there."
Parts of central Illinois have seen more than eight inches of extra rainfall this year. This time last year, the drought put us about seven and a half inches behind the average, but too much rain caused some major problems as well.
"There were some individuals who planted early in April who did have to come back and do some replanting, but I don't there was a whole lot of that frankly, because I don't think people got in the field," Goleman said.
Goleman said much of his corn did not get planted until May or even June, putting harvest days in October. He says in 2012, some farmers were harvesting right after the state fair.
Another issue plaguing farmers is the unseasonably cool weather. While most people have been enjoying a break from summer heat, local farmers say they're hoping for its return.
"Soybeans, they're struggling right now with this cold weather too," Alan Bailey with the Sangamon County Farm Bureau said. "It's kind of prime for seeing some mold development and things like that. So, everybody's kind of on the edge of their seat right now."
In the end, this year's yield may come in later than last year's, but it will bring in much more. Despite the setbacks, Bailey said this will likely be an average year for crops.
"Where we had crop that went from anywhere from zero to 150-160 [bushels] last year, depending on your planting day, we would be looking for hopefully at 150 to 200 bushels this year," Bailey said.
Those numbers are subject to some other factors. Goleman said if we don't get enough growing temperature days for crops to catch up, then an early frost could be a big problem this fall.
He said that could be devastating to crops still in the ground, and the later the harvest, the more that concern grows.
To help crops catch up, temperatures need to reach the mid-80s consistently. Just in the past week, overnight lows have dropped to record-breaking temperatures.

White Swan Records Artist Deva Premal Shines in New Video
Deva Premal Shines in New Video " align="left" hspace="10" width="200">
The "Gayatri Mantra" is perhaps the oldest prayer known to humanity. As a prayer to the sun, provider of life to Earth, it is, at its core, a plea for the enlightenment of all sentient beings on the planet. In ancient India, the "Gayatri Mantra" was the exclusive property of a chosen few, passed down from Brahmin to Brahmin for many generations, and always completely forbidden to women.
Millennia later, celebrated mantra singer Deva Premalfirst heard the "Gayatri Mantra" while still in her mother's womb; her father Wolfgang -- breaking with a tradition that he probably didn't even know existed -- sang the mantra to his unborn daughter throughout the nine months she was in utero, and welcomed his baby into the world with its most holy sound. The prayer became the German-born singer's bedtime song, which she chanted every evening throughout her childhood.
In 1998, Deva recorded the "Gayatri Mantra" for her debut album, THE ESSENCE. Since then, the record has gone on to become a true classic in the yoga/chant/new age genres, with sales approaching nearly one million copies worldwide, and "Gayatri Mantra" has become a perennial favorite of her fans and the standard opening piece in her concerts. With Miten, her personal and musical partner of over two decades, she continues to travel the globe to spread their message of compassion, meditation and transcendence, sharing the transformative healing energy of mantra with ecstatic souls everywhere.
During their customary non-stop touring, Miten and the pair's longtime accompanist - the Nepalese bansuri flute maestro Manose - shot video segments of Deva singing the "Gayatri Mantra" in far-flung locations around the world. Those casual, off-day shoots were edited together to become a moving new video: "The Gayatri Mantra Around the World".
This stunning, 10-minute movie is set in iconic locales dense with resonant significance, e.g., Berlin's monumental Holocaust Memorial; Ground Zero in New York City; the Shiva Temple in Rajasthan, India; Macchu Picchu in Peru; the Strawberry Fields memorial to John Lennon in New York's Central Park; and the "grassy knoll" in Dallas, site of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Other notable locations include Buckingham Palace and the glorious Wells Cathedral in England, the Grand Canyon and other natural wonders, and the Dead Sea in Israel.
Shooting in 32 countries from 2008 through 2010, these musicians-turned-cameramen captured Deva's engaging incantations of the beloved song on city streets, in open desert, in the ocean, by tropical waterfalls and at sacred sites - as well as by the bedside of a dying friend at his home in Phoenix, Arizona.
Performances were skillfully edited together from footage taken on five continents marrying the soothing melody of Deva's interpretation of the mantra with dazzling footage of the enchanting vocalist in some of the planet's most beautiful and meaningful places.

Trade Analysis: Nerlens Noel for Jrue Holiday
After the first five picks of the 2013 NBA draft melted away my brain, there wasn't much left in the first place to process what happened at #6 -- the indescribable, searing elation at a Nerlens Noel - Anthony Davis future followed by the slow, creeping, insidious realization that not only had Dell Demps passed on Noel-Davis, he'd traded away the ...

This move is downright weird! Unless the Sixers wanted to remove Holliday's salary for more cap space, I can't understand why you would trade your ALL STAR point guard for an unproven entity in Noel, who was projected as the number one draft pick that five other teams passed on as he fell to #6only for trading purposes), and there is a question of him being injury prone.
Of course I could just chalk it up to 76er management and the decision they just made in selecting their new head coach. Very strange times in Sixerland...

Reckitt Benckiser signs $100m-plus Facebook deal
Posted: August 08, 2014|
By James Burton
Household goods giant RB has signed a deal worth at least $100m (£59.4m) with Facebook to boost its
RB, which was formerly known as Reckitt Benckiser, said the "multi-year, nine-figure global partnership" would increase sales and improve loyalty.
It has been in development for two years and launched this week.

The two businesses will expand their co-operation in the next three years and hold joint recruiting events at key universities, as well as designing career development and training programmes.
Teams from RB and Facebook will work together in the US, UK, Canada, Italy, Brazil, India and Australia.
Heather Allen, RB executive vice president for category development, said: "Consumers sit at the heart of this relationship.
"We are really excited to be working so closely with Facebook to engage with consumers in a relevant and meaningful way."
One of the companies which later became RB started as a Hull milling firm and the multinational is still a major East Yorkshire employer.

Stick on topic. Whether the way they caluculate these numbers is the most accurate method or not, they remain the same, as they have been calculated by the same method for both administrations.
By point was that these Tea Partiers who believe Democrats, and Obama, have been more lax on immigration is just blatantly false.
And seeing as more individuals are being deported now, than were being deported under Bush and a Republican controlled Congress, it seems strange that this issue became such a polarizing issue only after Obama took over.

Let them blossom as a rose. They are doing it in their own lands, too.
It is not okay with me as a US taxpayer to have to fund their illegally gained water and fertilizer.

Excellent idea! But why limit the website to suspected illegal immigration?
Why not report expired tags, illegal room additions, overdue library books, you
name it?
If we're going to have blacklists and secret police why not report every suspected violation by our neighbors?

The air is dramatically cleaner than it was 30, 40, 50 years ago. If Riverside
has the 2nd dirtiest air in the country we're doing pretty well. It's
rare that we have a day where the smog is apparent. When I was kid, or even in
college, it was rare you didn't see a thick layer of smog in So Cal.
I hate smog and I wouldn't live here if it were as bad as it's made out to be.

The Walking Dead: Season Two continues the story of Clementine, a young girl orphaned by the undead apocalypse. Left to fend for herself, she has been forced to learn how to survive in a world gone mad.
Many months have passed since the events seen in Season One of The Walking Dead, and Clementine is searching for safety. But what can an ordinary child do to stay alive when the living can be just as bad – and sometimes worse – than the dead?
As Clementine, you will be tested by situations and dilemmas that will test your morals and your instinct for survival. Your decisions and actions will change the story around you, in this sequel to 2012's Game of the Year.
Confirmed platforms: PC, MAC, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox 360, and iOS. Additional platforms to be announced later.
Welp, I'm hyped. I like that they're continuing with Clem.
Looking forward to the second season, System Wars?

NEW YORK -- It's a little disconcerting to hear the manager of the Yankees openly hoping that a series with the Red Sox would "bring out the best" in his team.
And almost as disconcerting to hear the manager of the Red Sox admit that the Sox are "still taking one step forward and one step back."
But that's where we are in the American League East, perilously close to the 40-game mark that is supposed to define teams, but without much definition at all about the sport's two superpowers.
We're at a point where one rival scout could walk away from Friday's 5-4 Boston win and declare, "The Yankees are in trouble," but also at a point where that sounds needlessly harsh.
What seems more reasonable is to say that these are two very talented teams with very big issues -- but not necessarily season-killing issues.
The issues have allowed the Rays to sneak into first place, which just adds to the questions about both the Yankees and the Red Sox.
On one side:
-- It really does feel like the Red Sox follow every step forward with a step back. But maybe it feels more like that because even though the Red Sox have followed their 2-10 start by going 16-10 since (basically a 100-win pace over a full season), their overall record is still disappointing.
-- John Lackey's problems are a real issue. It's obvious he's distracted, and easy to believe that a family medical issue is the reason. The Red Sox understandably want to be compassionate, and Lackey apparently wants to pitch through the trouble, but the time may be coming when the team tells him that it's best not to.
-- The Sox have consistently stood behind Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and even on Friday general manager Theo Epstein spoke of the improvement he sees. But the Sox are getting less offense from the catcher spot than any team but the Joe Mauer-less Twins, and rival scouts are suggesting that Saltalamacchia's game-calling skills are hurting the pitching staff (along with his inability to throw out runners trying to steal).
On the other side:
-- The Yankees haven't hit well this week, and every time they struggle at the plate, someone says they're too old. The daily Derek Jeter questions have slowed after he got a few hits, but now there are daily questions about Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada. Are they old or simply slumping? By the end of the year, maybe we'll know.
-- The rotation has been somewhat better than advertised, despite the Phil Hughes saga. But even with another encouraging start from Bartolo Colon Friday, you wonder how long Colon and Freddy Garcia will hold up, and who will be next in line if they don't?
-- The answer to the rotation questions was supposed to be a shutdown bullpen, but the road to Mariano Rivera is still paved with questions. Rafael Soriano hasn't yet been worth the money, and Joba Chamberlain is at times brilliant ("Best I've ever seen him," one scout said Friday afternoon) and at other times his usual puzzle (three huge hits, including a Kevin Youkilis home run, in Friday's decisive seventh inning).
Put it all together, and you start to understand why neither of these teams is in first place, why Joe Girardi was hoping for a Red Sox-fueled revival this weekend, and why Terry Francona was admitting that his Sox team is "certainly not clicking on all cylinders."
Forty games won't be enough to get a true handle on either of these teams.
Check back after 80.

Happy Monday! Love my Life! and Love Sparkfriends!
Ok...I was just wondering something. It's pretty late her but I just finished eating my dinner. A plate filled with great veggies and man I am full!
Baked sweet potato
Lentils(my son claims he doesn't eat them so I will be eating them again. lol)
Green leaf lettuce
Small baked skinless chicken leg
So many people have a set time to complete their eating. I know in these days of workers with various schedules and everyone can't possibly eat their last meal before 10 pm. When I worked at night I had dinner at 3am.
Ok...the point and question is Does my body know what time I eat my last meal...or any of my meals. I read that it does not but I want to confirm it. That sweet potato and lentils were packed with carbs. Not really my friend. To eat a naturally sweet vegetable like this sweet potato was wonderful. I added cinnamon and stevia. I really did not need the stevia. Too good.
Jumped on that tram today for 30mins while on a pain pill so I'll see if I have any pain from doing that. Felt good. I did not over due it and that's why I only did it for 30 mins. I also am doing upper body strength work today. I have expanded my strength training. It does a body good.
I appreciate all who stop by. Sharing from my heart and trying to bring sunshine into each life that I come in contact with. Never trying to put anyone down nor myself. I am happy and hope you can tell. Loving to be on Spark for the rest of my life.
Sounds like the horse was lagging behind in the race and came and passed the leaders. I've seen this many times in movies. There's a movie out now about Secretariat. I remember that horse.
So I've been on this journey to fitness and health in all areas of my life. Started many years ago really but kept falling off the wagon thinking I was destined to remain overweight the rest of my life.
Well I'm coming from behind in this journey of mine and I can se the finish line. I have to keep going forward to reach my first goal so I can get to maintaining.
The Closer is one of my most favorite show at this time. I can watch it all long. Kyra Sedgwick is a Wonderful Emmy winning actress with a beautiful body. Her character as Chief Brenda is smart and slick and always gets her man or woman. She studies all of the evidence closely and ties up the loose ends when it seem like they had no leads. She's The Closer!
I am closely monitoring the evidence: logging my food and workouts. Making sure I am not doing things that can slow my race down. I may be here for the 3rd year but I'm on point and am going to do this no matter what. I am blessed to know that Jesus loves me and He has already won this battle for me. So I am running this race to get to the pace and win this race and closing my case . ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Loving my life on SparkPeople and making sure I get to meet as many members as I can to get motivation and to give motivation. It's better to give!
I'm the CLOSER!
Went to my cousin's baby shower today. It was a surprise and she was all smiles but she was walking around fussing. She didn't really want many to know but her home was packed full of loving family and friends. We had some fun!!!! And it's a girl!(Due in Dec)
Well I did real good on the snacks although I ate a piece of the white cake and the butter cream frosting on top. That was a hard piece of dessert to log. I know I'm not the only Sparker to eat a piece of store bought bakery cake. I'll look again. Maybe under birthday cake. lol So I'm fessing up...but I felt great. Not being the biggest person their. In fact...I was smaller than some of the people I used to be waayyyy bigger than. I wanted to share with them but I know it will be another time.
We just eat too much food that is filled with empty calories. I was so blessed to see the fruit bouquet and my cousin's sister who gave the shower told me to eat as much of it as I liked. Sooooo I ate cantaloupe and it filled the void and I found the veggie plate. But I didn't touch the nachos and stayed away from chipping and dipping.
So I have calories and carbs left but not much fat or protein. So I'm hungry...yeah that cake was good...the icing had all the punch. Don't want to mention how that blood sugar test turned out. Lentils could help but they carry a packing...wait...they have 16 grams of fiber. This could be my save and then drink more water.
Well Honest is always the BEST Policy. Log EVERYTHING you eat.
Sleep Well!
Hello Spark Friends and Thrill Seekers!
How was your Thursday
Well I've eaten some great healthy veggies earlier today and will eat my dinner in a few minutes. Earlier today I had...
Lentils: these little babies are great and versatile. I added chili powder, cinnamon, diced tomatoes and yellow onions. I also added more heat because I just love hot food. They are full of folate, vitamins B-6, C, Calcium, Copper, Iron and 1 cup has a whopping 16grams of fiber and 17grams of Protein. Try them!
Cantaloupe: I used to hate this when I was growing up but now I just love them. My son picked a great little one yesterday full of natural sweetness and water! Packed with potassium, Vitamin A, C, Calcium, Folate, and many other vitamins.
Broccoli and Cauliflower: Potassium, Vitamin A, B=6, C. E, Calcium. Iron and Folate. They both are low in calories and I eat all I want of them naked.
My dinner will be some of the same and a little sandwich w/thin honey turkey and leafy green lettuce(more folate) and light olive oil mayonnaise on Whole wheat bread.
I also had a boiled egg with my lunch and I ate the WHOLE egg since I don't eat a lot.
I've had plenty of water and just returned from an hour of walking. Too slow for me.
Strength training after dinner.
I am proud of myself today This is another great day because I'm enjoying eating healthy and working out and SPARKFRIENDS!!!
It's easy to follow the healthy way and YOU are the KEY!
That's my new to this earth little cousin Taliyah Michelle born at 2:33 am on 10/20/10 in my hometown of Tulsa. It was such an emotional feeling seeing her beautiful picture. A dream come true.
We should never stop dreaming. You know that babies are God's way of blessing the parents for children are a blessing from Him. These babies started in the minds of most of us. We wanted children and some of us prayed and prayed until we had them. God our Father yearns to help us like we yearn to help our children. We have to allow Him to do what He has ordained for our lives.
I depend on Father and everything that Jesus accomplished on the Cross for me. I believe and I know this change in my life is going to stick. I love my life and I love the Lord. My life is nothing without Him.
Never stop dreaming. There's plenty out there to believe for.
God bless!!!
