Drone takes light paintings into whole new realm
Light paintings, or long exposure photography if you want to be technically correct, never gets old. Over the years, we've seen quite an impressive array of creative light paintings made using different techniques. But this is the first time we've seen an artist use a drone to light up the night in such spectacular fashion.
Artist and remote-control aviation enthusiast FICTION thought it'd be fun to try to emulate some of the aesthetic from Close Encounters of the Third Kind using a drone. To create his "Close Encounters of the Phantom Kind" homage, FICTION took a DJI Phantom drone, strapped some lights to it, flew it around at night, and then took some long exposure shots.
The result: some decent abstract light art. Good, but not great stuff. To turn the ordinary-looking long exposures into something more eye-catching, FICTION imported the shots into Photoshop and mirrored them. As you can see for yourself in the gallery below, the final composites are way more interesting to look at.
We know Amazon and the UAE are wetting their pants at the idea of drone delivery systems, but can we get some more drone art guys? More of this stuff please.

Customize the internal frame to meet your comfort level, toss your avalanche gear in the quick-access external pocket, and charge into rugged mountain conditions for days on end.

DAKINE Guide Backpack - 3380cu in

Excellent Bag
Had a helipro 2 and wanted something bigger. This bag is perfect, plus it compacts down really well when not full. Also has all the good ski related features that many other general purpose packs lack
Erick Goudie
Lifetime=5 years for dakine
I had the older model. Used for five years. I really enjoyed the features despite the weight. Unfortunately my board carry straps whilst I was traversing a ridge line in a high wind. I sewed up the rip and seamed sealed it so I continue the season, thinking that dakine would honor their LIFETIME warranty. So July came around and the corn was turning to deep suncups so I payed for the shipping to send it back to dakine. Well that turned out to be a big waste of time and money because they sent it back to me with no explanation on why they would not warranty the pack. The board carry ripped from wind. This is supposed to be a guide pack and the mountains are known to be windy. Wish Dakine would honor their words because I loved that pack.
Am Interested in getting a backpack this...
Am Interested in getting a backpack this size but cannot see where I would strap my snowboard. I have owned several dakine packs in the past and it is usually pretty obvious.
Can anyone help me out??
Reid Pitman
the photo isn't very good but there is a side compression strap that can be used for vertical carry. I would suggest the dakine blade, for its horizontal carry system. I've found the larger the pack the more the board flops around even fully loaded with a vertical carry. Also check out the mountainsmith 35L or 45L packs.
DAKINE Guide Backpack
I like the pack. Bought it because it had lots of places to stash stuff. Not everyone wants the weight that comes with these features.
Pros: Well built, decent weight for all the features, access thru the back of the pack keeping snow from getting on your back when you put it back on. Good A frams carry for skis.
Cons: outside (large) pocket for shovel, etc not tall enough to fit my snow saw, cannot figure out where the straps are for snowboard carry (but I don't snowboard), would like outside crampon/skin pouch (or at least a spot to strap crampons down) side pouches good idea but not big enough for wide skins, ice ax loop too large, spot to strap down helmet as it is on and off all day and I don't want to dig into the pack every time, vertical ski carry - where strap down at top? no strap provided for this, but I made it work. Conclusion.I still like the pack, but if you are going to build a full featured pack and add that weight, do it!
It says it has a vertical snowboard carry,...
It says it has a vertical snowboard carry, but in the picture I'm just not seeing it.
Am thinking of ordering this and trying out. I'm concerned on the size as I'm 5'9 145lbs. Is it free shipping to return?
Tyler Brawley
The vertical cary is the two flaps on the sides... They have straps attached to them... It its there... This pack would be pretty huge for a person your size... I'm 6ft, 160lbs and have the Blade pack and it's pretty big on me and it's about 1300 cu in less volume....
I bought it. Fits fine on my slender frame. Not sure why people were saying it's for bigger frames. I need it for overnighters which is why I wanted this much room.
Hey, It does have the vertical snowboard carry and I'm 5'3 and 121lbs. I love this pack for bc trips especially multidays. It seems to fit me well as I have a longer torso and has the capacity to carry anything I could possibly need...
hope that helps

WaferGen Appoints Ivan Trifunovich President, CEO, And Director
FREMONT, Calif., March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WaferGen Biosystems, Inc. (OTCBB:WGBS), an emerging genomic analysis company, today announced the appointment of Ivan Trifunovich, Ph.D., as President, CEO, and Director of the company. Dr. Trifunovich brings 20 years of life science executive experience to WaferGen.
In connection with Dr. Trifunovich's appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, the company's Office of the President no longer holds duties of the principal executive officer. Ms. Mona Chadha will continue as Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, and Mr. Don Huffman will continue as Chief Financial Officer.
"Dr. Trifunovich's leadership positions at several top life science and pharmaceutical companies make him exceptionally well qualified to take the helm of WaferGen," said Alnoor Shivji, Chairman of the Board. "His experience at genomic analysis companies Third Wave Technologies (now a part of Hologic (Nasdaq:HOLX)) and Helicos Biosciences provides him with in-depth knowledge of our marketplace. His management positions in R&D and sales and marketing at pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Pharmacia, and Bristol-Myers add to the breadth of his insight. He understands the market, the product landscape, and how to succeed – from strategy, to planning, to implementation."I would also like to thank Mona and Don for their significant contributions during the transition period and CEO search process. They ensured that our platform continued to develop rapidly and helped to propel forward a pipeline of promising applications." "I am excited to take the leadership role at WaferGen, whose SmartChip System is a superb technology platform addressing multiple high value applications," said Dr. Trifunovich. "As the use of next generation sequencing rapidly grows, the SmartChip System is well positioned for downstream validation of genome-wide association studies all the way to molecular diagnostics.

Two Thousand and Not TwelveFirst of all,I would like to thank everyone for the Birthday Wishes back in December I tried answering all or most of your Birthday/Holiday wishes, and I am really sorry if I missed your comment! If you did not get a response from me or if you had a question, please feel free to send me a note anytime and I'll get back to you ------------------ Second, I know I went missing for about two months but I'm hoping that things will start slowing down again so I can work on comics and other art-related things. I have a bunch of tm Comics lined up since... 4 months ago... and I'm hoping to actually work on them soon (Along with StupidFox, of course). But mainly during these past two months, I've been doing a lot of sketching and going back on working with old mediums.Warning: This is a Beginning of a Rant Recently, I've realized that I do not have as much time to work on art as I did one year ago. And I l

Top 10 Nursing Supplies
- 3Apr 3, '13 by JenLahayeI start school in August. What would be your top ten things to buy before school starts in relation to school supplies. Not nursing essentials like BP cuff etc...just for studying and organization purposes. Thanks y'all
- 1Apr 3, '13 by MendedHeartPen light, multicolor pens, ALOT of printer pper and ink lol
- 0Apr 3, '13 by SquishyRN, ADN, RNFor both clinicals and work, I keep one of those organizer things in my pocket with a multicolor pen (because I keep my cheat sheet color coded), a sharpie, a highlighter, penlight, and bandage scissors. In various other pockets I keep my stethoscope (because I hate keeping it around my neck), my own pulse ox, saline flushes, alcohol wipes, and tape. Alongside my name badge and wrist watch, I feel completely naked and lost without all these things on me when I start a shift :P
- 4Apr 3, '13 by PatMac10,RNAs stated previously, about a truckload worth of Red Sequoia Trunks to have enough paper and Plenty of printer ink! Lol!
I've mustered so many trees on nursing school that I plan to donate heavily to the Arbor Day foundation when I graduate! Lolz! Other helpful items I picked up along the way.
Smart phone - So worth it. Get an IPhone if you can, I did in my second semester and it saved me. Our school allows us to use our phones in clinical as a clinical reference/tool to cut down in the amount of junk we have to drag to our host floor, which has limited space. If you can't swing an iPhone invest in a prepaid smart phone with straighttalk for $45/month. Everyone in our class has a smartphone (75% iPhones) and they have saved our lives on more than one occasion.
Med-Surg Nursing Demystified: saves time when you need quick and more simple summary of lecture/reading material. Whole series of nursing books, including fundamentals and pharm etc... All are awesome! Med-Surg Helps over all.
Sticky Notes- if your not a big note taker you can stick important points and reminders right in your book where the info is located.
Highlighters and Multicolored pens.
- 2Apr 3, '13 by Twinmom06, ASN, RNDry erase markers (you'll find your clinical sites are probably going to hourly rounding with dry erase boards to mark your initials - half the time the markers are missing out of the rooms and your co-assigned nurse will love you if you whip one out for them - helps you make friends)...same with a sharpie for marking everything from IV bags with stuff mixed in, to test strip vials in the accucheck machines as well as having a pencil of choice, and a black and red pen (or a multicolored click pen)...also invest in a good date book, a decent smartphone (Iphone or Samsung Galaxy SIII or IV) for reference manuals that you don't have to drag to clinical...
- 1Apr 3, '13 by StephalumpPaper and ink! For the hundredth time
Highlighters! So many highlighter. A tiny cheap calculator. Lots and lots of pens. A planner with lots of writing space. A hole punch. Good shoes. Some sort of "smart device."
- 1Apr 3, '13 by luvnlfe,LMTA really good planner. Time management is so important and crucial for your success in school.. My favorite is the uncalendar.
Uncalendar - Home Page
- 5Apr 3, '13 by rubatoA sense of humor, patience and humility!
- 5Apr 3, '13 by springchick1Liquor! Just kidding! One of my favorite things I bought was laser print that prints on both sides of the paper. It also has a scanner and a printer built in. My school won't allow nursing students to print anything in the computer labs so it has saved me!

I love this and decision 2 and the both r awesome yo I appreciate this game a lot its awesome and fun and cool
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I first played Decision 2 and it aw a real improvement!But this one is a perfecet start! Great job!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I played this one first time AFTER finishing Decision 2. I have to say that the second part is a huge improvement.
My main complaint with this one is the weapons: there isn't really enough variety and then there's the bazooka: While it feels weak compared to the real-life counterpart, it's significantly better than any of the other weapons, rendering them useless.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
So far, this is awesome. From the thumbnail, I thought it was a game where you commit suicide, but no. You kill zombies. Although I have to admit, I wish that this was first person shoot. >:D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
great game could use more guns but other than that kick ass

Breaking (and beyond parody): McCain has just hired Elisabeth O'Bagy, who was fired from neocon HQ for lying about her academic credentials and for failing to disclose that she was a paid lobbyist for the Islamist Syrian rebels, whom she incorrectly "described" as "moderate" freedom fighters. The rebels, including Free Syria Army battalions, have recently formed a new confederation under al-Qaeda. And Obama is arming these people with your taxpayer money. All while Washington flirts with bad laws and a bad government shutdown. This is all a national embarrassment.

Step 1: Tools and materials you'll need:
- 1 Rule 1100 GPH 12VDC Bilge pump.
I used these because I could get them, other sizes or manufacturers might do fine too.
- 1 RC model boat propeller for example Graupner No. 455/10.
This is a 2-wing 70mm diameter prop with 4mm threading. Don't use to big propellers.
4-blade are also ok, but use a smaller one.
- 1 Coupling bush for smaller than 4mm diameter shaft. Graupner No. 3346 (3.2mm) is ideal.
- a 20mm long 4mm bolt with the head removed.
- a 4mm spring washer.
- Heat shrink tube of different sizes with glue or (better)a waterproof cable repair set like Raychem XBL22 (also, this is what I could get overhere).
- round circumference 2 conductor wire capable of carying 4A.
- adhesive rubber pads, like the stuff to put under furniture.
- waterproof cable gland (for example Velleman CPG135)
- Hacksaw or dremel
- sharp knife
- electric paint stripper
- threading tool with 4mm bit.
- soldering iron
- pliers, screwdrivers etc...
Step 2: Prepare the bilge pump:
Remove the lower blue part (klicks off). Remove the little propeller so the metal axis is free.
Take the hacksaw or dremel and cut around the white plastic,about a mm or so from the red area (don't cut in the red plastic).
Remove burrs with a sharp knife. You'll end up with a watertight motor in a nice red housing.
The black stuff in the picture is some adhesive rubber, which comes in handy to distribute the force once the motor is mounted on the robot (see further).
would 3 of these attached to a PVC pipe pull me in the water?
Would this system be small enough to fit inside 2" PVC pipe, if not, what size? I need to know this before I buy all my parts to prevent finding out that I bought the wrong size pipe and have to go buy more.
They do. best to check manufacturers websites for sizes/voltages etc.
Generally the larger will mean more powerful motor.
i am making a rov for school fair so i want something cheap
yes, you can reverse the direction by reversing the applied voltage.
Good luck!
Thanks!! :)

5 Stocks That Could Be Trampled
2. Dunkin' Brands (DNKN)
Bain Capital, the Carlyle Group and THL Partners bought Dunkin' Brands, the owner of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins for $2.5 billion from French wine and spirits giant Pernod Ricard in 2005. In July 2011, the private equity owners priced an initial public offering at $19 a share, giving the company a market value of $2.4 billion, however, shares spiked 47% in Dunkin' Brands debut on the Nasdaq, closing at $27.85.In the ubiquitous coffee seller's debut share offering, the equity capital raised was used to help lower the company's debt. However, seven years after the buyout, private equity investors are now looking to realize parts of their investment. Earlier in March, Dunkin' Brands said that it's private equity backers would look to sell as much as 25 million shares in a secondary offering, causing shares to fall from levels near 2012 highs. Rising earnings and profitability on pricing power and increased demand for Dunkin' Brands coffee and specialty drinks products may be hampered by the prospect of continued private equity investor share sales. Meanwhile, the company's near 25% year-to-date share gain puts Dunkin' Brands at prices with little upside to analyst expectations. Overall, Dunkin' Brands is expected to see its revenue and profitability grow to $663 million and $132 million respectively, according to analysts polled by Bloomberg who give the company a $31.88 a share price target. Bain Capital and the Carlyle Group both hold over 18.44% stakes in Dunkin' Brands, or roughly 22 million shares each, according to SEC filings compiled by Bloomberg. THL Partners holds a slightly smaller 18.15% share stake on just under 22 million shares, putting total private equity holdings in the national coffee seller at over 55%.

It also contains information about how shareholders can request written copies of the proxy materials if they desire them.

Environmental responsibility and sustainability are more than just buzzwords. For Snohomish County, they're part of a concrete effort to take action on climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from government operations.
The county recently adopted a Sustainable Operations Action Plan (SOAP) – its first internal climate action plan focusing on environmental stewardship in government operations. The County Council unanimously adopted the SOAP on Sept. 3, and on Sept. 24, County Executive Lovick issued Executive Order 13-48A regarding implementation of the plan. The SOAP establishes a roadmap with goals, measurable objectives and action items to reduce the county's environmental impact over a five-year time frame.
"We can't wait to take action on climate change. The Sustainable Operations Action Plan reinforces our commitment to actively address this issue" said Snohomish County Executive John Lovick. "In the past few years we've made great strides in reducing our impact on the environment, but we have more work ahead of us."
Snohomish County's Office of Energy and Sustainability and an internal team from different county departments and offices led development of the SOAP. County departments are already implementing the SOAP, and the Office of Energy and Sustainability will track progress in achieving the SOAP goals and objectives.
"It's important that we make efficiency and sustainability part of every discussion," said County Council Chair Stephanie Wright. "What makes this good policy is the comprehensive approach it takes on improving how we operate."
For more information on the county's Sustainable Operations Action Plan, please contact Lisa Dulude in the Office of Energy and Sustainability at email@example.com or 425-388-3965.

Thanks Gwyneth. I was having a bad day ANYWAY, until you made me feel even worse. Guilt rears its ugly head enough for us full time working mums, without you wading in to the fray telling us we need to "compromise" to be a mother and run a successful family.

FedEx increased revenue 12 percent in the quarter and 13 percent in the fiscal year that ended May 31, reporting total annual revenue of $39.3 billion.
The package and freight delivery giant's profit shot up 33 percent in the quarter to $558 million and 23 percent for the full year to $1.5 billion.
The February-to-May quarter saw improvements in all of FedEx's units after higher fuel costs and declining demand cut into its income in the previous quarter.
In the last quarter, the FedEx Ground U.S. package operation was the fastest growing division of FedEx, increasing revenue 15 percent to $2.3 billion.
FedEx Express increased revenue 13 percent in the quarter to $6.6 billion, buoyed by stronger pricing and fuel surcharges in the U.S. and higher volume from Asia.
Less-than-truckload giant FedEx Freight returned to profit in the quarter, posting $42 million in operating income as revenue jumped 6 percent from a year ago.
For the full year, FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight all increased revenue 14 percent. FedEx Freight lost $175 million in fiscal 2011.
FedEx Express increased its full-year profit 9 percent to $1.2 billion, while FedEx Ground's profit leaped 29 percent to $1.3 billion for the full year.

The judges weren't the only ones shocked by 22-year-old Pia Toscano's shocking "American Idol" elimination on Thursday.
After the fan favorite was voted off the hit FOX singing competition, celebrities flocked to Twitter to voice their frustrations.
"Don't have an Idol habit, but how could the USA vote Pia off?" Tom Hanks, 54, wrote. "I may be done for the season."
Ashton Kutcher, 33, was just as surprised to see the Idol front-runner go. "Who are the people that vote on American Idol? That's just crazy!" he tweeted. "That Pia girl is dope. [It's] almost criminal."
Several former "Idol" contestants also chimed in, including Jennifer Hudson, 29, Chris Daughtry, 31, and David Cook, 28.
"I can not believe they just eliminated Pia! Really?" Hudson wrote. "As long as she walked away with that voice she will be alright! Just hate to see talent like that go!"
"What the crap?" Daughtry asked. "I thought Pia was THE best singer on the show this year!"
Former "Idol" judge Ellen DeGeneres, 53, also weighed in, telling her 6.3 million followers: "I am shocked and so sad."

Challenges in the Measuring of Comparative Corporate Governance: A Review of the Main Indices

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
January 27, 2012
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN STRATEGY AND MANAGEMENT, Vol. 7, Catherine L. Wang, David J. Ketchen, & Donald D. Bergh, eds., Emerald, Forthcoming
This paper discusses the role that indices of corporate governance have had in comparative corporate governance research. To do so, we begin with a short discussion of what corporate governance is and its main debates. Then, we review the main indices (which are also summarized in Table 1) highlighting their strengths and limitations as well as describing some of the findings that emanate from them. In section 3, we discuss the methodological and conceptual assumptions of corporate governance indices which may compromise their construct validity. We conclude in section 4 with some encouraging suggestions for key methodological and research design issues to take into account in future comparative corporate governance.

Vietnam veterans honored with pancakes in Canaan
CANAAN -- Vietnam War veterans, often scorned when they returned from their tours of duty, were greeted with deep appreciation and respect at Sunday's pancake breakfast at Couch-Pipa VFW Post 6851.
Army Col. Kirk Harrington, post commander, initiated the group's first breakfast and invited those who served during in Vietnam as guests. He said many of the 16 who accepted were surprised to learn the meal was on the house.

Gossip Girl Review: A Dair Affairby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Now that's what I'm talking about.
This was one heck of an episode of Gossip Girl, with tension slowly built throughout the winter boiling over on all fronts, and leaving us with even more intrigue as we head into a mid-mid-season hiatus. "Empire of the Son" lived up to the hype.
The real reason for Russell's vendetta against Chuck was revealed (in the opening "previously on Gossip Girl" montage, and then later). Lily finally prepared to face the music. Rufus remembered he's on the show. Ben was vindicated.
And, lastly, there was the kiss heard 'round the Upper East Side and Brooklyn.
You could sense a Dair kiss was coming whether you're a Gossip Girl spoiler junkie or not. From the opening moments, Blair was still stalking Chuck but is in a really good mood.
Blair does not walk around in good moods, people.
Meanwhile, Serena got a call from Vanessa for some reason, but is confused and upset that Ben is blowing her off. Nate? He's being Nate, and exploring his feelings for Raina.
Chuck learns about Nate and Raina from Russell, who also hints (so subtly, with that orange outfit) that he knows Lily's secret. Lily and Chuck try to find out what he knows.
Try as they might to do their thing, which they don't really understand or want to admit, Blair and Dan are handcuffed by sneaking around. It's Dorota who catches her on it.Soon we learn that Ben has been ignoring Serena because his mom is in town, while Lily thinks Ben revealed the secret (Vanessa hinted this) and that's how Russell knows.
The affidavit is also missing from Serena's drawer. There's no mention of Eric or Damien, both MIA this week, and their role in outing Lily. It all leads up to Chuck's big party.
After Serena accuses Ben of outing her mom, she learns that it was Ben's mother who rifled through her stuff and gave the affidavit to Thorpe so that he can clear his name.
Russell tells Chuck to hand over Bass Industries or else. Raina was hiding and overhears, devastated that her father, her idol, would resort to such an underhanded tactic.
Lily is ready to turn herself in. But there's more to it than that.
The major secret revealed last night was a bit odd, as it was a reference to a blink-and-you-miss-it Season 2 scandal, but it did help explain Russell's hatred of Chuck a little.
Russell Thorpe reveals that his wife died because of Bart and that's why he's seeking revenge. This would have been more shocking had it not been given away earlier, but still.
Serena's father, William, returns and tells Rufus they're going to form a united front. Rufus is just excited to form any sort of dialogue at this point. Stay tuned on this front.
Rufus' other contribution last night, along with Dorota, was to convince Dan and Blair to stop fighting it. Why the plausible deniability? Why not embrace their true feelings?
Embrace them they did, as Dan made the first move - refusing to back away - and insisting that they kiss, just once, to ensure their relationship wasn't more than platonic.
We have a feeling it's a lot more than platonic.
"For crying out loud, Humphrey!" Blair said, before kissing Dan as the screen froze and the credits rolled. She surely spoke for many fans across the country ... but what next?
The Dair cliffhanger was vintage Gossip Girl, leaving us wondering whether Chuck and Serena will bust them, where Louis the Prince fits into this love rectangle, and more.
Here's our first look at where things pick up April 18 ...
Terrific stuff last night, and plenty to keep us guessing as we suffer through another long break. A handful of final thoughts before we turn it over to your comments ...
- Apologies to those who like him with Serena, but does anybody else think Ben and Vanessa would make an awesome, irrelevant couple? Anyone?
- This was not a good night to be Chuck. Not only did Russell throw him for a loop, TWO exes are in the arms of friends. Well, one friend and Dan.
- Nate's streak of being involved with every girl is legendary.
- Who do you think will find out about Dan and Blair first?
What did you think of last night's Gossip Girl? Discuss!

Amazing episode. But that could'be been one hell of a make out.
It really pissed me off that after building up so much sexual tension they didn't even run the kiss!!
oh my effing god!!! i was holding my breathe and couldn't help but giggle towards the end of the show. the episode is pretty damn good with all the drama but nothing beats the DAIR kissing part! i'm an avid CHAIR fan but there's really something with dan and blair that make's me want a lot of them even more especially there will be a lot of kissing between them and looks like chuck is after with blair again and that louis is coming. can't wait for the next episode, blair is really the heart of the show, without her the show is totally boring! xoxo
Yes that's exactly what I was thinking:) Only Little J.
Yes Dan and Blair are great together. the perfect couple,except we all know only one person can come between them,its neither Serena or Chuck but little Jenny Humphrey, her and Blair have way to much history.
Oms i loved the dair kiss about time chuck gets paid back. At first i just wanted this relationship to make chuck jealous but now i want them to be serious for a while. I just love their chemestry. The only downside is that when prince comes she is going to forget all about Dan and chuck, because when it comes to royalty she forgets about the people she really cares. So she is going to mess things up with dan just cause of prince . Also chuck needs to work hard if he wants blair back
I think Vanessa will tell Chuck and somehow Chuck will use Louis to break Dair up.
Just a thought... Don't know how else the prince will return out of the blue. I think Chuck has a better chance breaking up Blair & the prince than breaking up two intellectual people who finally found solace in each others' arms.
This coming from a former 100% chair lover... dair is exquisite!!.. and up until a month ago, i was totally against it. But i have to give credit to the writers for the dialogue between these two, and also the actors for the delivery and timing of their lines.. I used to think chuck and blair banter was the best, but really, dan and blair are quickly taking over.. I used to want Chuck for Blair a the end, but Chucks character has totally been ruined by the writers, and it might be too late to bring the season 1/2 chuck back. I think it has been made clear that chuck does not bring the best person out in Blair. And it's refreshing to see Blair be happy and mature for once. Kudos to the writers for making a believer out of this skeptic. But now that you have , please don't let it be a tease, and keep them together !!!!
DAIR for endgame!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant episode!!Loved every bit of it except for that one line- like you getting traded for a hotel- so now everyone knows and is okay with it??!?! I am a Chair shipper and knowing that Chuck wants Blair when he feels low is good but somehow not good enuf. I think the writers have ensured in season 4 that Chair would never be acceptable with the way Chuck treats Blair. I am happy for Blair that Dan at least cares for her though I am no Dair shipper- its nice to see Blair being treated as she deserves. And why does Chuck only think of Blair when he needs her- what abt when she feels low? Anyway what is this maria's spoilers- please let me know
Dair for Endgame! Dair

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Before last year's elections, the executive director of the Senate Republican Caucus got his hands on a copy of the entire database of handgun carry permit holders in the state.
On Wednesday, they voted to block public access to those records.
The Senate voted 27-2 to pass the bill sponsored by Republican Sen. Ferrell Haile of Gallatin. Those voting in favor of the measure included Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey. Ramsey had previously voiced his support for keeping the records open to the public.
Ramsey wanted to find a way to bar media organizations from publishing the handgun carry records online, but a state attorney general's opinion found constitutional problems with that approach.
The House would have to agree to minor changes before the bill could head for the governor's consideration.
