Tagline: What if you had a second chance with the one that got away?
Synopsis: Nine years ago two strangers met by chance and spent a night in Vienna that ended before sunrise. They are about to meet for the first time since. Now they have one afternoon to find out if they belong together.
One of the best and most unexpected diptychs in recent years is Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise"/"Before Sunset." Unexpected because Linklater and his stars and co-writers, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, surely didn't conceive as the films as a trilogy, let alone a s...Read More »
Well, there's good news and bad news. We'll give you the latter first -- despite what looked like a lot of evidence to suggest that the much talked about follow-up to Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset" was now filming in Greece...it's not. However, it is being actively worked o...Read More »

What happened at the cliffhanger ending of 2004's "Before Sunset?"

These questions are answered in Richard Linklater's trilogy...Read More »

Title: Life in Mintland, take two.
Posted: June 26, 2008 (10:36 AM)
Since I continue to be an awful correspondent and some of you may be interested.
Well, this is my third week at work. The job site is about a mile from my house, which is nice, but the guys here don't really have that much for me to do, so basically I'm getting paid $10/hour to play computer games and occasionally file something. It's pretty nice, although I feel vaguely guilty about getting paid to be useless. They hired me in the first place because they have an arrangement with the mayor's office to hire a graduating high school intern for the summer, not because they actually have anything for me to do, so that's the deal. I will be buying a nice iPod in the near future and saving the rest of my money for school, since I'm rather fond of eating and would like to continue in the future.
I also sprained my ankle a couple days ago. It was pretty rough! I was fighting off a pack of wild lions and gave one a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the skull as it lunged at my throat, gooey ropes of saliva dripping from its foot-long fangs and all, and the blow was so powerful it just about knocked my foot off! Crutches are a pain in the ass, though. It sucks.
In other news, Oblivion has taken over my life. I seriously can't stop myself from playing it whenever I have a free moment! It's rough around the edges--it has balance issues with the spellmaking/enchanting system, is really glitchy, and the level-up system is retarded in that it is impossible to get good stat gains if you pick your major skills logically--but it's really addictive anyway. I've clocked 90 hours in a depressingly short time, and I've barely touched the main plot. Also, as of last night, I'd saved, uh, about 730 times, I think. I save a lot, it seems. But yeah, I'm an altmer caster, L20 right now, custom class, vampire as of late, and I like to kick ass with some custom 2HKO spells that add elemental and magicka weakness 100% for like 3 sec on strike. Also have a nice custom enchanted dagger that absorbs magicka when I'm running low, plus fire shield boots/gauntlets to compensate for my horrible fire weakness and actually give me some AC at the same time. (Body armor is for sissies when you can wear a badass robe.) I have decent blade skill and am thinking about enchanting up a glass short sword with something nifty just because I can--seriously, what else am I going to do with 15 black soul gems? which I filled by slaughtering necromancers, haha irony--but I probably won't use it much.
I've done the Mages Guild, Thieves Guild, and Arena (which is, by the way, totally pathetic if you jump up on the pillar next to the door and use ranged/summons), and I think I'm going to leave it at that, because being the head of five guilds is pretty silly. (Honestly, I would've preferred that the game just leave you as a high-ranking member instead of the head of the freaking guild, which strained my credulity pretty seriously in some cases, but whatever.) I'll do the Dark Brotherhood and Fighters Guild on a replay sometime. Like EmP, I started the game a while ago, played for a few hours, went "bleh, overrated" and wandered off, then came back only to get hooked and sink 90 hours in without noticing.
Oh yeah, and my free laptop is being retarded. The H key keeps falling off, and the spacebar screwed up recently, and I broke off one of the brackets for the retainer when I was trying to fix it. Yippee, now I get to get it repaired! Oh, last night it also decided that it didn't like the power cord, so now it's dead and I can't charge it. I kept getting some error about the AC adapter not providing a high enough voltage or something, don't remember now. I hope it's the power cord, anyway, not the laptop. Get what you pay for, I guess!

But maybe even more than that, the Avernum series sets itself apart from the legions of other fantasy CRPGs with its phenomenal milieu; an Empire soldier might not want to trudge through miles of winding underground caverns, with their unique ecosystems and civilizations and problems, but I sure do.
In this game, there is only one winner. Cooperation disintegrates, and the game devolves into a savage contest of every man for himself. LAUNCH DETECTED flashes across the map again and again as enemies open fire and allies backstab each other. Every act of aggression leaves you wide open to retaliation; silos and submarines are helpless in launch mode, and their location is broadcast to the entire world when they fire ballistic missiles. But the primary goal of DEFCON isnt to sur...

Theres a saying in the NetHack community that the DevTeam thinks of everything, and its true. The game is so deep and fully realized that its impossible to put down. Once youre hooked, you keep coming back no matter how frustrating it gets sometimes, because NetHack isnt just a game. Its an addiction.

Game: Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra (PlayStation 2)
Posted: January 16, 2007 (08:24 PM)
Weve come to expect three things from the Xenosaga RPGs: a deep, epic plot, an insane number of amazingly well-done cutscenes, and terrible gameplay. Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, for those unfamiliar with Nietzsche) is the long-awaited finale to the series, bringing the series-spanning storyline to a conclusion, and it meets about half of these expectations. This is both good and bad.
Among the desert weeds and radiation of post-apocalyptic California live the last remnants of humanity. Jaded and cynical, they wallow in poverty, their run-down settlements small outposts of civilization in the midst of the all-encompassing nuclear wasteland but underneath the dirt and grime lies a devilish brand of humor and the utter freedom to make whatever you want of yourself and the world. This is the premise of Fallout and Fallout 2, two incredible CRPGs that have enchant...
Sigil is the City of Doors. It lies at the nexus of the multiverse; its portals touch countless worlds, and those with the correct keys can reach anywhere from Sigil. To the rest, its a prison. It floats above the infinitely tall Spire in the center of the Outlands, a neutral zone between the Outer Planes of good and evil, law and chaos. Its indifferent to outside conflicts, its impartiality guarded by the Lady of Pain, an enigmatic sorceress who wears a bladed mask.
The first time I played Star Ocean: The Second Story, I was duly impressed by the large number of spaceships (I quite like them) in the title screen cinematic. Intrigued, I started a game.
At a glance, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness looks like your standard strategy RPG: turn-based battles on a grid, a variety of weapons and classes, a small amount of customization. But from the first time you meet the main character, you know that youre in for a very unusual trip.
World War III nearly destroyed all life on Earth. No one bothers to remember the specifics now; theyre trivialities, unimportant details.
Castle of the Winds is an archetypal Rogue-like dungeon-crawler, a forgotten relic of the bygone shareware days. Charmingly straightforward like other games of its ilk, it dispenses with trivialities like a convoluted plot, rich milieu, and stunning visuals. Briefly put, its about killing things.
Chrono Cross is a terrible game.
The Exile trilogy made something of a name for itself when it hit the shareware market in the mid-90s, claiming a handful of mildly impressive awards and thrilling loads of people in magazines Ive never heard of. Then, a few years later, it was remade into the less awesome Avernum series, which marked Spiderweb Softwares jump onto the crappy 3D bandwagon. But the shareware era was destined to die, and when it faded away so did Spiderwebs games. To this day they can still be fou...

Game: Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht (PlayStation 2)
Posted: June 08, 2005 (04:55 PM)
Every now and then a title comes along that changes the way we think about video games something so startlingly different, so revolutionary, so innovative that it redefines a genre or invents one entirely. Mario was one such; Final Fantasy was another. Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, the list goes on. Someday the Xenosaga series, too, might be added to it, but its not quite there yet.

Don't blow the candles - you could get germs!Comment on this story
London - Children in Australia have been ordered not to blow out candles on birthday cakes together – because they could pass on germs.
Parents should either provide a separate cupcake, with a candle on it, for the birthday child or else enough cupcakes should be provided for the other children.
The guidelines from Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council have angered parents, who say that the "nanny state" is trying to take all the fun out of birthday parties.
And Steve Hambleton, Australian Medical Association president, said: "If you're blowing out candles, how many organisms are transferred to a communal cake, for goodness sake?" - Daily Mail

Will developer anger at the Amazon Appstore kill the Amazon tablet before it's launched?
The review policy and length falls under the idea of curation. This should be one of the biggest benefits of the Amazon system. The Android Market has hundreds of thousands of apps, but that includes thousands and thousands of instances of spam, copyright infringement, clones, and just flat out useless apps. Amazon wants to have a curated experience to avoid all of those issues. Again, this is a very Apple-ish idea, and could work well, but it may still be a bit too soon to judge. The Appstore has already grown to around 14,000 apps, most of which are games, and aside from the issues with updated versions mentioned before, the curation has worked well. Curation is also the main reason for the app review process, because while Amazon does use it to weed out spam, it is also used as a testing period to supposedly combat any potential compatibility issues. Amazon also claims there are warnings when purchasing an incompatible app, but I certainly didn't see any.
Curation is of course the main piece of discovery, which is another benefit of the Appstore. Google has redesigned the Market a number of times, and introduced the Web Store in efforts to help people discover new apps. Of course, even with the review process in the Apple App Store there are similar troubles with discovery simply because of the sheer number of apps. Discovery is much better on Amazon right now mainly due to the small number of apps. Discovery seems to also be behind the ideas of rewording app descriptions and changing the price, but it seems like there must be other ways to feature an app aside from cutting the price without developer consent.
My feeling is that the Amazon tablet will be an extension of the Kindle. At heart, it will be an e-reader, but an e-reader with benefits. Amazon has learned from the Nook Color. Consumers want a full screen e-reader with apps and extra features, but Amazon doesn't want to foster the rooting community that has sprung up around the Nook Color. Amazon, like Apple, wants to control the experience, and this means giving consumers what they want, but it also means likely alienating the more tech savvy crowd. However, given that the Amazon tablet will be based on Android 2.x, the tech savvy crowd was already most likely alienated.
If you expect the Amazon tablet to be an Android experience, or even a full-fledged tablet, it feels like you're setting yourself up for disappointment. If you live outside of the US and want an Amazon tablet, you're likely to be very disappointed. If you expect the Amazon tablet to compete on features with the iPad (aside from handily beating the iBookstore), again that may lead to disappointment. However, if you expect an entertainment device, and more importantly a shopping device, that seems to be where the Amazon tablet is headed. It will most certainly have deep ties into the Amazon store, it will heavily feature the Kindle store and Kindle magazine selections, and there looks to be an impressive array of games available through the Appstore. There is a very good chance that the Amazon tablet, especially the 7" variant, will come in as one of the cheaper tablets on the market.
Amazon has already been toying with ad-supported Kindles, so it seems pretty likely that there would also be ad-supported variants of the Amazon tablet in order to get the 7" model down to the sub-$200 sweet spot. Amazon has the name recognition and Kindle following to quickly become one of the top tablet sellers if the price is low enough. The trouble is that those of us who truly care (maybe a bit too much) about the mobile world will almost undoubtedly be disappointed, because the Amazon tablet will more likely not be made for us. Compared to Honeycomb tablets that will be out this fall, and the rumored iPad HD, the Amazon tablet likely will come up short for many, but the price will sway people towards it. The features will be limited to keep cost down, and as well stocked as the games section may be in the Appstore, it seems unlikely to have the variety of apps and basic options we crave, especially with developers taking a backseat to Amazon's goals.

amazon app store ISN'T better than the Android App Market, and will never be.
5. bizwhizzy (Posts: 45; Member since: 04 Aug 2011)
He's referring to the Apple App Store, not the Amazon Appstore. Also, The_Miz is the biggest Apple troll in these parts. He's not worth your time.
9. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
oh.... p.s i knew he was referring to apple app store, but i just felt like messing with him.

12. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
If this was the App Store, with Apple which is also copyright infringement by Amazon, this wouldn't be a problem. You're just mad that I am telling the truth about your precious Android devices.
17. Yeeee (Posts: 190; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
Ok I now hate amazon cause of this article. I also dislike Microsoft then I like Apple then I love Google
22. protozeloz (Posts: 5381; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
the amazon app store its not related with Google or android.... its just a way for them go make some sales at the cost of the android market so I don't see why android fans should be mad that it fails this just proves the amazon store its not close to being as good as the android market for developers...... but you only see that its android and you assume will be mad because of that? now what significant comment you posted that would make anyone mad?

Get over yourself, I have as much right to praise the golden Apple as Android fans who go to Apple articles and troll them.
15. iankellogg (Posts: 155; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
I have a question. Other than being a troll. Why do you care? Just keep buying apple iPhones and I will keep buying whatever I please.
30. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Because I can. I don't need a reason, I just feel like commenting like everyone else does.

You do have that right, but you have absolutely no idea of context. It often feels like you just click a random story on the site and write something about how Apple is awesome. There's no logic behind the comments, no thought, you just spray your Apple love everywhere and don't care who takes it in the eye.

ummmm They pretty much said the Amazon AppStore was very close to Apple's...
The only difference maybe the approval time, but I have no clue how long Apple's approval process is.

Apple's review time varies, but developers say it does tend to be longer than the two weeks for the initial review that Amazon takes. Turnaround is faster on both for updates.

so from the sounds of it, the amazon tablet sounds like a slightly enhanced version of the nook color... with games.
If they keep the price low, that will probably sell well with families what want a cheap multipurpose device that everyone can use. Being highlighted permanently on the amazon market will definately help that .. :)

I can vouch that the compatiblity thing does in fact kick in. Most of the apps I want to download are apparently incompatible with my Viewsonic gTablet (10.1") , despite it having 1GB of RAM, a Tegra2 chipset, and 2.2 FroYo. Guess those are for phones, and can't be pushed to the larger screen. I agree with the refund statements as well: I purchased Cut the Rope from Amazon because a) GetJar doesn't have a version for the gTab, b) the gTab doesn't have the ability to download directly from Android Market, and c) because I had an Amazon gift card to burn. In short, the purchase went fine, no compatibility warnings, but each attempt at downloading and installing leads to an error, and after a week, I requested Amazon refund my money. 2 weeks later, I haven't heard back.

I hope the Amazon App Store sticks around for a bit. It is a good way to get a decent number of Android apps on devices that don't have a full-fledged Google app store.

I don't understand how/why devs. don't get paid for free app of the day.
If Amazon puts a paid app up for free and does not pay the devs. for each download isn't that the same as pirating?
23. dandirk (Posts: 187; Member since: 04 Aug 2011)
First a Dev has the submit their app separately for the FAD program.
Second, once selected the devs are given the option to approve/Decline being scheduled for FAD. They are notified of the 0% of list price they will receive that day.
Now devs understand they agreed to it. Yet they feel sort of cheated cause when promoting the new store to Devs they were told the minimum they would make would be 20% of their list price (normal is 70%)
imo Amazon has gone pretty far in their "control" of the apps. They dictate price. The devs say what the list price will be, but Amazon reserves the right to discount it at any time they choose, I am not sure how their cut is changed by this, don't know if there is some sliding scale from 20-70% based on Amazon set sale price.
Heck Devs can only "request" their app is removed. wtf is that! Yes I know this is knee jerk reaction... just wanted to make a point.

25. Deicide (Posts: 47; Member since: 02 Jul 2011)
Amazon AppStore really basically sucks hard. I never purchased any apps from there, only getting the free one of the day. It's so bland in there and just sucks suck sucks.

This one phrase does it for me, "Amazon, like Apple, wants to control the experience, and this means giving consumers what they want, but it also means likely alienating the more tech savvy crowd."
I am one of those people that bought a nook color, and has it doing every awesome thing that it has the hardware to do, and doing more than you'd ever think you could have it do.
That said: The problem with apple and anyone who uses them as a model.. they want to control what the device can do, so they can sell you another device in the near future. Sure, you had to jailbreak the iphone, but the original phone that couldn't record video COULD in fact record video. The iphone 3g COULD record video, but the 3gs can record hi-def, the only qualifying selling point(besides harddrive) of the device. Oh wait, a jailbroken 3g can record in the SAME QUALITY. At my old job working at a university I had to jailbreak iPads to do video out because the apple representatives said it couldn't.. they were surprised when I showed them what it can do in the classroom as soon as I got around their limitations. I am quite sure the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 are capable of many things they DON'T do, but CAN do.. and that they will sell you a new device soon that will.(Lets fill more landfills for no reason) Hell, I had ios4.1 on an original iphone, something they said the iphone 3g couldn't do.(Now I am ranting I think)
Each release of newer device from apple was NOT an improvement in a big way, but a controlled release of a single or few features they wanted you to be able to do. Intentional limitations purely in software. It is one of the BIG reasons why I stopped buying iPhones.. to make it do everything it COULD do, I had to defy what the manufacturer didn't want it to be able to do.
If amazon does this, I don't see this as being a success.. it is the same idea as someone micromanaging. Sure, it CAN be comforting to have someone come in and tell you every little detail of what to do so you don't have to think -- unless you don't have a problem with THINKING.(This is the concept that I think constantly spawns a sheep argument)
Android, simply put, is open source. Even if a manufacturer doesn't want the phones software altered, the NATURE of the software is that it CAN be altered. You can buy an android phone/tablet, and KNOW that if the hardware can do it, and there is a community around the device, the software will allow it. This is how I stream movies, play games(meant for the tegra only devices), have a newer operating system than most android phones, and so much more.. all for 250 dollars. I didn't want a camera on a tablet. I don't want another data plan. Just something a little more comfortable.
Anyways, successful devices are the ones that can accomodate the less tech savvy in ease of use, WITHOUT stepping on the toes of those who know how to make it do more. Why should they? The new samsung galaxy s 2 has no bootloader, a great thing for those of us who want to

I really like what you had to say. I didnt know all that before I read what you said but I have always liked android and the idea of an open source system. I switched from my iphone for just that reason that I could do sooooooooooooooooooooooo much more right out of the box.

U.S. aviation regulators fined Pinnacle Airline Corp. (PNCL)'s Colgan Air unit $153,000 for scheduling pilots and flight attendants to work longer than the law allows.
Pilot fatigue at Colgan was investigated after one of its turboprop planes crashed near Buffalo, New York, on Feb. 12, 2009, killing 50 people in the last fatal accident involving a U.S. passenger airline. The violations cited today occurred during a period including the crash, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
Congress after the accident ordered the FAA to revise its rules for pilot scheduling. Colgan illegally scheduled two captains, two co-pilots and six flight attendants between June 14, 2008, and Feb. 23, 2009, the FAA said in its statement.
The airline scheduled them to work seven days in a row, the FAA release said. U.S. regulations require that pilots and flight attendants receive at least 24 hours off after working six days.
Colgan also failed to give three flight attendants the minimum eight hours off between shifts, the FAA said. Those incidents took place on June 15, 2008, and Sept. 16, 2008, according to the agency statement.
In another case, the airline scheduled a co-pilot on Nov. 7, 2008, to fly longer than eight hours in one day, exceeding the U.S. limit, according to the statement.
Questions of Fatigue
The airline intends to challenge the penalty, Joe Williams, a spokesman for Memphis, Tennessee-based Pinnacle, said in an e- mail. The carrier has "invested heavily" in improving safety since the accident, Williams said.
"We believe we complied with all applicable duty and rest rules and will respond accordingly," he said.
Colgan has 30 days to respond. Airlines frequently negotiate for lower penalties than the FAA proposes.
The National Transportation Safety Board blamed the Buffalo accident on the captain's overreaction to a cockpit warning, which sent the plane into a series of violent maneuvers before it plunged to the ground.
The captain had interrupted sleep the night before at the airport and the first officer had commuted to work on overnight flights, the safety board concluded.
The investigative agency stopped short of citing fatigue as a contributing factor in the accident. Because both pilots had not received a good night's sleep prior to the accident, fatigue was explored in the agency's final report.
The FAA introduced pilot scheduling rules designed to limit fatigue in December. The rules reduce the hours pilots can work late at night, after crossing numerous time zones or while making numerous landings and takeoffs. It also requires pilots to sign a document before each flight assuring that they are fit to fly.
The rules will take effect in December 2013.

Jenny Humphrey: The Ultimate Bad Girlby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Oh, J.
Little Jenny Humphrey has been cruising for trouble on Gossip Girl from the very beginning. This season, it's only gotten worse, turning on her own brother/BFF, running with the miscreant, drug-dealing son of a diplomat and more.
Judging from pics of Taylor Momsen on set, we don't think we've seen the baddest of this bad girl, either. "Keep your eye on little Jenny Humphrey," creator Josh Schwartz recently teased about the show's 2010 return.
With the 16-year-old strolling around Manhattan in a worn-out white tee, short skirt and visible garters, it's certainly not hard to do what Josh instructs.
But are you a fan of bad girl, troublemaker J? Are you excited to see Jenny slinging drugs and pining for Nate, or should the youngster just take a hike?
LOVE HER, HATE HER: Either way, Taylor Momsen's Jenny Humphrey is a captivating character, and we can't wait to see what she does next.
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl, Fashion
Jenny was a nice and sweet person in Season 1, who just wanted to fit in. In the second season, she got a backbone, and stuck to being herself, and pursued her dreams of being a fashion designer. This season......what happened? They barely show her at school anymore. She's always either dealing drugs or getting wasted or macking on her stepsister's boyfriend. I liked Jenny better when she had some morals and an ethical code. What they should've done was get her a nice, normal boyfriend, preferably not from the Upper East Side. Jenny and her new bf could deal with the challenges of having a Brooklyn-UES relationship. Or, they could've had someone at the school try to take over Jenny's rule and have her defend it. Or, even put her in a in-between role, like she can be the only one that Lily and Rufus both confide in about their feelings, and she could've been conflicted about what to do. Or, even, have her show some real interest in her dream of working in the fashion industry. Also, the extensions, they do look fake. Truthfully, Jenny looks very unkempt lately, like she hasn't taken a shower in days and just threw some clothes on. What happened to the sweet, nice, budding fashionista?!
I absolutely love her this season! She's become my favourite character. Maybe I just like a bit of a b*tch! But that's me... It's not just her personality though, she's calculated. And her fashion is crazy/beautiful. Love the darker edge her wardrobe has now, entwines nicely with her coming of age.
seriously what's she wearing!?
im not sure but doesnt jen lose it with her boyfrieend but at the last moment change her mind about going a head and run out that what I read in the tv mag , but to be honest I dont care about her stupid charecter her her anyway , she a bad actor. The tv programme nds to get rid of her. Then I will watch the proramme again. Hurry up please.
er what went wrong. It is horrible. She thinks that she is a style icon and everyone wants to be her and copy her..... where is her getting that from? I liked her in the ist and 2nd season but then I have stopped watching it because She Kills the programme. I cant stand her. And no im not jealous I have my own dress sense and wouldnt want to copy er in a million years. ItS NASTYYYY. Nate and chuck are so sexy. lol.x.
uuuh, NO SHE'S NOT CAPTIVATING. She's dull.
i hate little slutty man steelin jenny leev serena nd nate alone!!!
when are gossip gil gunna kill this whore?
Seriously hate her. Hopefully she'll get hit by a limo or be jailed for drug use.
I too will cry if she pops her cherry to my beloved Nate OR CHUCK for that matter! I have actually stopped watching GG recently because of how bad its become, but I still haven't lost hope.
The day jenny dies, the day ratings go up. Simple.
I loveeeee jennyy this season. First season she was whiny and annoying and in the second season when she got some edge I loved her. Now, I hate how she was being such a bitch to Eric, if shes queen bee just tell the stupid girls that she doesn't care if her brother sits higher than her on the steps, I mean really? But, she is awesome as queen and she has killer style. oh and screw Serena and Nate, jenny and him are way more adorable together.

The Ash Tree ? November 22 ? December 1 Birth Tree
by Melinda Myers
posted Nov 27 2013 12:40PM
If your birthday falls between November 22
and December 1
your birth tree is an ash. You are said to be uncommonly attractive, very reliable and trustworthy.
The native white and green ash trees have long been an important part of native forests, urban landscapes and the lumber industry. The wood is used for sporting goods like bats and oars as well as furniture and flooring.
Unfortunately, the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has found its way to North America and killed many native and urban ash trees. The adult beetle is metallic emerald green and feeds on the leaves. The immature worm-like larvae are the real troublemakers. They feed under the bark preventing the flow of water and nutrients between the roots and leaves. This eventually kills the plant.
to find out more about this pest.
A bit more information:
You can help prevent and reduce the spread of this and other invasive insects. Don't move firewood; instead buy it at your destination. Visit
for more tips on managing firewood, woodchips and other wood products. And look for local arborists, wood workers and communities converting EAB infested wood into pest-free bats, bowls and more.

Most Ridiculous Man of the Year
Here's a late-comer for the Most Ridiculous Man of the Year award. A professional makeup artist in Manchester, England has reportedly spent about $150,000 for plastic surgery and more to look like his favorite reality TV star. The star? Kim Kardashian. He's had lip fillers, laser hair removal and eyebrows tatooed on. Take a look at the picture to see the results. And no, it is NOT Halloween. Sooo, someone actually dropped $150,000 on plastic surgery to look like Kim Kardashian! See for yourself: http://t.co/6eSkniAajM — Us Weekly (@usweekly) December 18, 2014 And he doesn't care what he looks like, according to The Sun, London's daily newspaper. "My look is all about the shock factor. I love all the attention and stares I get in the street. I welcome the hate — it just means more attention. And if anything, it just spurs me on to get more work done." Good money chasing bad, folks. Especially since the guy looks more like the Octomom than the NorthWestmom.

Please Define "Top"
Scratching my head just a little. US Magazine put out a list yesterday of the Top 14 Celebrity Instagram Photos of 2014. Six of the 14 involve the Kardashians in some way - by that calculation, they're taking up 43% of the internet, which sounds right and wrong all at the same time. The rest of the list: Jessica Simpson in a bathing suit holding a golf club Macauley Culkin wearing a T-shirt with Ryan Gosling on it Jessa Duggar's wedding kiss Taylor Swift's 4th of July party Nick & Vanessa Lachey's pregnancy announcement Lauren Conrad's haircut Bethenny Frankel wearing her 4-year-old's Hello Kitty PJs The only one that really belongs - or at least makes some sense in being relevant - is the post Diem Brown's boyfriend put up after her passing, expressing his grief. You have always been My Angel. And now you have your wings. We've been thru so much over the years. Thru the ups and downs we somehow managed to keep our promise. We never gave up on each other. Our plan to be together forever hasn't changed... it's just going to take a little longer now. And I'm going to hold onto this ring for you till we are together again. So don't worry mama, I'm not afraid. I know you will always be with me to give me your strength. You are The Love of My Life. My reason to be a better man. I Love You Always and Forever A photo posted by CT (@theofficial_ct) on Nov 11, 2014 at 8:50am PST

It's the Most Wonderful Prank of the Year
Jimmy Kimmel and his wife have a holiday tradition - well, sort of a tradition - with acting couple John Krasinski (from The Office) and Emily Blunt (most recently from Into The Woods). They live across the street from one another, and for Christmas, they play pranks on each other. This has been going on for a couple of years, and each year, the pranks get bigger and more out of control. Watch the clip to see what Jimmy did to them last year - the thing he thought would bring the prank-feud to a conclusion. And then watch to see watch Emily and John did to raise the bar considerably higher this year. Nice to have that kind of money to throw away, but it is sort of fun to watch.

"Governor, This Is Barack Obama..."
What a fun moment. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick made his final appearance on Boston Public Radio yesterday, and got a very interesting phone call as part of his farewell. President Barack Obama called in, identifying himself as a former resident of Somerville, a suburb of Boston. The president spent some time in the state while a student at Harvard, and he's got a good relationship with the outgoing governor. So why not call in? Watch the video of the call. Seems legit to me.

Cancel The Interview, Please
Sony Pictures announced formally today that it will not now and maybe ever release the movie they'd scheduled for a Christmas debut, The Interview. The film, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco as some newsmen recruited by the CIA to assassinate the leader of North Korea, drew the ire of North Korea's current ruler, who said its release would be considered an act of war. More recently, someone hacked into Sony's servers, releasing sensitive information and threatening some drastic action if the film were released as planned. Some interesting folks are not happy at all. Like Donald Trump... #TrumpVlog #TheInterviewMovie A sad day for freedom of speech- http://t.co/eQDh4BkDHp — Donald J.

A Box of Poo for You
You know Cards Against Humanity, right? The makers refer to it as "a party game for horrible people" that's "as despicable and awkward as you and your friends." On Black Friday, they made an interesting offer to folks on their website: a box of male bovine excrement for a mere $6. They used a more guttural expression that we really shouldn't be using here... Now, the folks at CAH report that they sold 30,000 units. 30,000 units of genuine bull crap, amounting to $180,000. I can only imagine how popular these will be at the office Yankee Swap this year. Now if you'll excuse me. My dog just went outside, and I'm pretty sure there's a gold mine waiting to be picked up on my lawn.

Wrapping Up a Holiday Tradition
Darlene Love came to fame with the 1960s classic, "He's a Rebel." But for close the three decades now, she's earned even more fame from her annual appearance on David Letterman's last show before Christmas to sing "Christmas" - aka "Baby Please Come Home." She'll sing it one last time tonight, on Letterman's final show-before-Christmas. This time next year, Stephen Colbert will be sitting in Letterman's seat. To get everyone in the mood, the folks at CBS put together a compilation of Darlene's appearances, blending them all together in one pretty spectacular rendition. Enjoy - and be sure to set your DVR for tonight's performance...

Shaking Off Hanukkah
Someone pointed out recently that there aren't any good Hanukkah songs out there. It seems that the only choice is Adam Sandler's "Hanukkah Song," and that's not really about the holiday, just about folks who might celebrate it. So along comes Six13, a Jewish a cappella group, and their parody of Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off." You'll have fun, learn a little bit about the holiday, and even how to play with a dreidel. And you might start bopping along with the tune. Win win!

The officers were handed a small pile of Benjamin Franklins and sent out on the street to help those who needed help. What a terrific, feel-good story...

Happy Birthday, Frankie
Pope Francis celebrated his birthday yesterday. Some folks took to Twitter to pass glad tidings, using #happybirthdayholyfather. It looks like being the pope doesn't put you above the typical birthday pranks the rest of us have to endure, like sharing photos from your early years. This one looks to be from 8th grade. What do you think?

Ellen Skunks Conan
Looks like the daytime talk shows have better budgets than their nighttime counterparts. Case in point: an audience member pointed out that Ellen Degeneres gives away phenomenal gifts to everyone in her audience. It's the way she rolls. Amazing things like personal cappucino machines, one's very own MRI unit (complete with Fabio, your MRI tech), and the not-even-out-yet iPhone 9. Conan had nothing but half-a-sleeve of gluten-free Fig Newtons in his car. Not to fear. Ellen to the rescue. Check out what she gives to every member of Conan's audience. I wonder if Conan gets to keep one...?

New Rule: Don't Let Mom Call Into Your Talk Show Appearance
How's this for a fun time? Brad and Dallas Woodhouse are what you'd call political pundits. They're also what you'd call brothers. Brad's a Democrat, and Dallas is a Republican. This week, they appeared on Washington Journal on C-Span to discuss their new book, "Woodhouse Divided," about bipartisanship and the political divide in the United States. I'm sure it was a fun conversation, but not one that would catch my attention. Until... ... the Woodhouse brothers' mother called in, unexpectedly and unplanned, and pretty much told the both of them to settle their differences so that Christmas at the family home would be peaceful. The clip is below, and it is priceless!

Seal It With a Slap!
Whoever thought Jimmy Fallon and Oprah Winfrey could play a married couple? Well they did - back in the 80s - on a soap opera called Midnight Meadows. It's becoming a running bit on The Tonight Show, and it involves Jimmy and his guest running back and forth into and out of the scenes. You almost wish they'd show those transitions. From the sound of the audience reaction, that's one of the best parts.

Can I Get a Translator, Please?
Christian Bale's newest film, Exodus: Gods & Kings, hasn't even been out for two weeks, and already, folks are talking about his next film. The trailer for Knight of Cups was released this week, and while the film's language is English - I understand all the words - I think I'm going to have to have an interpreter with me if I plan to sit and watch it. It's not that anyone's unintelligible - there's no Stallone/Schwarzenegger component to the movie - it's just that I have no idea what's going on. Sure, trailers are supposed to tease you and even titillate you, so you'll be interested in seeing the movie. This one looks like a bad acid trip caught on film. What do you think?

The Holidays Are Coming!
What's Up Moms is a great group of fun moms who poke fun at themselves and their lives. Earlier this week, we featured their parody of Taylor Swift's "Blank Spaces." Today, I stumbled on this "trailer" for The Holidays Are Coming, and while it's from last month, it's especially fitting now, with Christmas Eve just a week away. Enjoy - and know you are NOT alone!

Emojinized Science
Bill Nye the Science Guy always does what he can to make science understandable to the Average Joe. In this day and age, what better way to illustrate one's point - or, in this case, lesson - that with emoji. Everyone knows what emoji are - so why not put them to good use. So watch Professor Nye do Professor Darwin one better by using emoji to explain evolution. I'll bet you have a Smiley Face when it's done...

Blistering Hot Britney
According to Women's Health magazine, Britney Spears is in "the hottest shape of her life." That's why they put her on the cover of the magazine. And according to them, she did it all without a trainer. They point to her "insane abs" and suggest that you too can achieve them with "one simple move." I hate to be a cynic, but I'll bet it's the purchase of pretty good photo-editing software. Does that make me a bad person...? Thank you so much @womenshealthmag for featuring me in your new issue! 😘 It's on stands this week! A photo posted by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on Dec 12, 2014 at 4:10pm PST

Christmas Services - Saturday Night Live-Style
I've been picking on Saturday Night Live a lot this season. It's like the whole show isn't living up to the standards set in the past. Sure, there's a lot of history in the show, and some phenomenal years when everything they touched was gold. This year, not so much. So, when they do crank out something that's pretty good, it's only fair to point it out. Here's a little something they did this weekend, and it hits home with a lot of casual Christians, You know, the kind who only go to church twice a year - once at Easter, and once at Christmas. Enjoy!

Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating Person of 2014
Prepare to scratch your heads. A woman you probably never heard of until September or so - Amal Alamuddin Clooney - has been named the Most Fascinating Person of 2014. Not that she's not interesting. But the most fascinating person on the planet? All because she married George Clooney. Which Barbara Walters refers to, with her gift for hyperbole, as one of the "greatest achievements in human history." Perhaps it's time for Barbara to hang up her microphone, huh?

Adorable Holiday Tearjerker?
This new ad by Apple has been getting a lot of play since it was released on Sunday. Over a million-and-a-half hits as I write this. It highlights the ability of Apple products - a Mac, an iPhone or an iPad - to "create thoughtful, emotional gifts and memories that transcend time." It's a granddaughter using computing power to create a duet with her grandmother's voice-over 45 rpm recording. Tearjerker? I'm not feeling it. Does that make me Grinchy? Honestly, I was more excited that the granddaughter had a turntable than anything else.

Yup, It's Genetic
Ever wonder where the Kardashian and Jenner kids get their flair for showoffmanship? Blame it all on Mama K. Proof positive is available for viewing on the website of Love magazine. They present an annual Advent calendar (completely missing the point that Advent is a particulary religious thing) that features 25 models doing strange things that have nothing to do with Christmas. Most of them - so far - are pretty young. Then there's Kris Jenner. Pushing 60. Dressing and acting like her 30-something kids, including flashing her cleavage to the camera, grabbing her lapels with the veiniest hands this side of the Cryptkeeper. Watch the video - if you dare. Be careful, though. The lyrics to the song that goes with the video are definitely NSFW.

The Sun May Not Come Out Tomorrow After All
The updated version of Annie hit theaters this past weekend, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, it's a hard knock watch. Starring Jamie Foxx as the billionaire and Quvenzhane Wallis as the little orphan, the new Annie was pretty much eviscerated: This one paragraph says it all: "Putting aside the grating performances, the clumsy direction, the visual ugliness and the haphazard development of story, character and relationships, the movie is hobbled by its intrinsic unsuitability for contemporary retelling." Of course, you never know with movies like this. Critics can often cripple a film - or just because of their shear nastiness, encourage people to go and check it out for themselves. So what do you think? Is it worth popping for $12 a ticket, plus the investment in the soda and popcorn and candy, to make your own determination?

Taylor Swift - Most Parodied Artist of 2014?
What's Up Moms is a website "dedicated to providing fast-paced videos that are not only helpful, but also fun to watch!" Every once in a while, they'll produce a good parody of pop song. Like this one - their parody, all mom-related, of Taylor Swift's "Blank Spaces." Which could very make make Taylor the most-parodied musical artist of 2014. We'll have to wait for the official tally, of course.

Valentino arrived in Ellis Island in 1913, one of millions of Italians heading to America to begin a new life. In his case, he was escaping a restless life in Italy and a set of mounting debts! But he quickly distinguished himself in New York thanks to his job as a taxi dancer at the glamorous club Maxim's, where he mingled with one particular Chilean femme fatale.
In 1926, he headed here not only to promote his sequel Son Of The Sheik, but to display his masculinity after a scathing article blamed him for the effeminacy of the American male!
Sadly, however, he tragically and suddenly (and, some would say, mysteriously) died at a Midtown hospital. People were so shocked by his demise that the funeral chapel (in the area of today's Lincoln Center) was mobbed for almost a week, its windows smashed and the streets paralyzed by mourners -- or where those people paid by the film studio?
Here are the details of the tragedy that many consider one of the most important cultural events of the 1920s.

The young dancer was employed at Maxims on 110 West 38th Street. From a 1916 guidebook: "A famous 'smart' restaurant. A la carte. Music, dancing, cabaret, from 6:30 to close. High prices. Special ladies luncheon at noon." Valentino would use his skills as a struggling actor in Los Angeles and incorporate it into his film work. Below: Valentino with Alice Terry
Valentino's breakthrough film -- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. "He paints the town red!" "Each kiss flamed with danger!" Like many of his movies, the plot seems taken from his life. Valentino spent some time as a youth in Paris, dancing and dining his way through the city (and into debt). (NYPL)
The Sheik, the film that made his reputation:
From Blood and Sand (1922) -- In this one, the Italian Valentino plays a Spanish toreador. (NYPL)
Mineralava Beauty Clay, the sponsor of Valentino and Rambova's cross-country tango trip:
Newsreel footage of Valentino at Madison Square Garden judging the Mineralava Beauty Clay competition:
The Hotel Ambassador at Park Avenue and 51 Street. This is where Valentino boxed the reporter (on the rooftop) to defend his masculinity and where he was staying on August 15, 1926, when he collapsed.
Most people are familiar with the Ambassador due to another iconic film star and her memorable photo shoot (by Ed Feingersh) on the rooftop:
Rudolph in Monsieur Beaucaire, filmed at the Famous Players (later Paramount) studio in Astoria, Queens:
Downstairs, in the studio commissary, with Valentino (at left) and the cast of the film. Today this room is a restaurant named The Astor Room, which features cocktails named for silent film stars. There's even a Valentino-themed cocktail called Blood and Sand!
Polyclinic Hospital at 345 West 50th Street, where Valentino died on August 23, 1926. The building still exists today as an apartment complex. (Picture courtesy Museum of the City of New York)
Pictures of the mad, chaotic crowds outside Frank Campbell's Funeral Church during the week of August 23-30, 1926:
Pola Negri, who made quite a scene at the funeral of Valentino (NYPL):
From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, August 30, 1926
Newsreel footage of his funeral in Midtown Manhattan -- from Frank Campbell's (in today's Lincoln Center area) to St Malachy's on West 49th Street:
Note: Don't say we didn't warn you! There's a lot of material that seems to be based on speculation. Thoughts of possible sexual adventures have sent many authors into wild fits of imagination. ( Enter the back catalog of Valentino at your own risk:

The AD5544/AD5554 quad, 16-/14-bit, current output, digital-to-analog converters DACs) are designed to operate from 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range.
The applied external reference input voltage (VREF) determines the full-scale output current. Integrated feedback resistors (RFB) provide temperature-tracking, full-scale voltage outputs when combined with an external I-to-V precision amplifier.
A double-buffered serial data interface offers high speed, 3-wire, SPI- and microcontroller-compatible inputs using serial data in (SDI), a chip select (CS), and clock (CLK) signals. In addition, a serial data out pin (SDO) allows for daisy-chaining when multiple packages are used. A common, level-sensitive, load DAC strobe (LDAC) input allows the simultaneous update of all DAC outputs from previously loaded input registers. Additionally, an internal power-on reset forces the output voltage to 0 at system turn-on. An MSB pin allows system reset assertion (RS) to force all registers to zero code when MSB = 0, or to half-scale code when MSB = 1.
The AD5544/AD5554 are packaged in the compact 28-lead SSOP.

OT-I hate feeling responsible
I posted this on the budget board because it's money related but maybe it doesn't belong here. I've posted before about the drama associated with our upcoming trip. Basically my mom bought a timeshare so we could do family vacations in DW but she did it without being very knowledgeable. So she ended up spending too much and not getting what she thought she was getting. This is part of what I feel responsible for. I read over her paperwork after she bought it and missed a lot of the fine print. Then this trip came up and mom decided that because me and my siblings all seem to be tight on money, she would pay for everyone's transportation. But it seems like she said this before she had an idea of what that would cost. I am responsible for figuring out prices and I am feeling like crap because it's going to be a decent amount. She had decided that she was going to take the Autotrain down with me and my kids and since last night, the price for that has gone up over $400. Apparently she was waiting for some kind of go ahead from me to book so now I feel responsible for that. We are having a mini planning meeting this weekend so hopefully we can get an idea of what my other siblings want to do and then we can go ahead and book transportation and this part of the drama will end. Then it's just going to be a matter of mom feeling obligated to also take/buy food for all of us, pay for gas, pay for parking, pay for a few dinners she wants to do, etc. Yes, money is tighter for me than it is for her but I'm really not feeling great about her paying for everything. I am planning on having money set aside for all the things I think she will try to pay for but I doubt she will let me actually pay for most of it. Or else I will pay for all that stuff and she will just end up buying my girls a ton of souvies/snacks/etc. Thanks for reading, I just really needed to get this off my chest. We are going to a weekend in the mountains this weekend so hopefully it will be both relaxing and productive.

It sounds like you are a loving caring daughter and take good care of your mom. I would talk to her and share your feelings before you all meet together. Just let her know that you feel that the cost of this trip has risen higher than you think she had intended and listen to what she says. Chances are, she is good with paying what she needs to pay to give her family a great gift. If she can afford to pay, and wants to pay, don't take that joy from her. It's important to know where your siblings might stand on this. Would they want to pick up some of the cost or would that create a hardship for them? Maybe you all could insist on a few special meals at least. Enjoy this special gift and your loving mom.

see,I feel the opposite of pp... I think part of being a caring daughter is helping Mom do a reality check.....from your description, she is buying stuff she can't afford,giving it as gifts (plane rides,timeshares,etc etc) and placing all the responsibilty on you to make it all work. And if it doesn't,it's either your fault,or you feel guilty anyway b/c you gave faulty advice regarding financial things. or sales,etc etc.
Why not let her know that using the timeshare together is ok, but all the other mistakes,she doesn't have to go through with her initial promises? (since the ts is a done deal,and she can't back out,I assume)
or if she can get out of the ts deal(less than 30 days) why not help her do so,and start fresh from a point that you all can handle together?
Seriously,these 'free' trips are usually so full of strings attached,that it's prferable to save your own money,and go on your own trip that you paid for. That way,everyone is responsible for their own stuff.
I wouldn't ALLOW my mother who couldn't afford it, to pay for things like this for me. At most,I'd let her gift the kids a small amount of $$$ to spend,and let her know that we had the rest taken care of.

If mom insists on paying for meals and incidentals why not have her buy each family a gift card with x amount on it that way her expenses are at least limited and if each family wants to do something fancier or more there taste then it can be on their own dime. That way she feels like she has the basics covered (which for what ever reason she seams to think she needs to) and anything beyond basic is at your own expense.

QUOTE: So she ended up spending too much and not getting what she thought she was getting.
This hit home.
My FIL bought a timeshare in Orlando without ever looking at it and has never (and will never) stay in it. My SIL/BIL, and my DD/I have each taken a trip there. It's a very nice place but they also ended up with less then I think they thought they were buying. When we tried to get us a week last summer, they said he only had enough points for five nights when he was sure he'd bought a week. They only own an every-other-year unit. Recently the timeshare company has been trying to get him to buy the other half. He asked if it would be something we'd like him to do. We told him no. While the place is great, there are so many other places to stay in Orlando and we didn't want him to take on more. I hope he listened.
OP, I hope you guys can work this out so everyone is happy. Good luck.
