"Your inner child is running us into bankruptcy!" Katherine Witner screams at her newly jobless husband Peter. "Why don't you get in touch with your inner adult?" A with-it L.A. couple scrambles to avoid being without it in the sharply witty The New Age. Following up his biting screenplay for The Player, writer/director Michael Tolkin now bursts the balloons of more La-La-Land sham and scam. Peter Weller and Judy Davis play the Witners, a trendy twosome with more dollars than sense as they careen along a downhill path of mad business pursuits, sexual escapades, new-age babble and questionable spiritualism. In a glitzy society where everyone's born to shop, the Witners are starting to drop - and they're going like the '90s in "the sexiest, smartest comedy this decade has produced" (Polly Frost, Harper's Bazaar).

Weakening economic conditions haven't slowed trucking giant Landstar System, which says it gained truckload freight and raised rates in July and August.
"Although there was much talk of a major economic slowdown or double dip recession, Landstar has not seen any evidence of a decline in freight volume activity," Chairman, President and CEO Henry Gerkens said Sept. 2.
"Overall demand in the first two months has been relatively stable and pricing has remained strong," Gerkens told analysts in a mid-quarter conference call.
Excluding substitute less-than-truckload linehaul freight, loads hauled in the first eight weeks of the third quarter increased 5 percent year-over-year, he said.
"In fact, the current (annualized) rate of volume increase was higher in August than July and I anticipate an even larger rate of increase for September," said Gerkens.
Pricing, based on truckload revenue per load, increased 9 percent in July and August from the same period a year ago, he said.
Revenue per load for its independent contractor drivers, or "business capacity owners," increased 10.7 percent in the second quarter, year-over-year.
Landstar's strong third-quarter start underscores how much trucking operators are outperforming the general economy, which new data from the U.S. government show has been close to recession for much of the first half of the year.
Landstar increased its profit 21 percent to $29.6 million in the second quarter, exercising pricing power inwhat Gerkens called a slightly "choppy" market.
The $2.3 billion company was the fourth largest U.S. truckload carrier in 2010 and the eighth largest trucker ranked by revenue, according to SJ Consulting Group.

the apartment was clean, spacious and very new. location was excellent and stuff was friendly. probably one of the best apartments we've stayed in. i would definitely recommend
It was on the top floor without a lift, not a big problem for me but can be a problem for others
I liked everything about this apartment.
My slat bed in room 3 collapsed three times during my stay. The first time I called a staff member thinking the bed was broken but the slat connections were broken and the slats had fallen through. The other two times were late at night and I fixed myself.
At all! Location, building, a lot of place, nice floor, kitchen... amazing! Very high standard of all things.
Noisy at night a little bit from the bar downstairs, no problem for me
location ambiance apartment was soundproof good working AC
too limited kitchen equipment no hood above the cooktop which is unpleasant in a studio no elevator
The location is perfect. Huge apartment for a solo traveler, I'd say you have enough room to throw a party there! Was a short stay and didn't need the room cleaned - the staff respected that. Cheaper than a hotel room in the same location. Wanted to rent a car and the hotel staff recommended a very good company that delivered the car almost at my door (for a very good price I would say).
Was a bit cold when I arrived, even for the summer, the air conditioner takes its time to warm up the whole division at night, but it works.
Wonderful apartment! We will stay here again when we return to Riga!!
The location of this apartment was perfect for exploring Riga's Old Town. I did not want (or need) my room cleaned during my stay, and the staff respected my request. The hot water was plentiful. The air conditioner worked wonderfully. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc. to last my entire 4-day stay without having to contact housekeeping for replacements. The bed was comfortable. The room was very, very large. Of all the places I've stayed, this apartment ranks within my top 10 favorite places. It was exactly what I was looking for.
The only issue with this apartment is that it's located across the street from a pub. The pub sometimes gets loud during the weekend, but it wasn't a very big issue for me. If you stay anywhere in the Old Town district, you will likely experience late night revelers anyway. There's no escaping it. So if you don't have a problem with occasional noise outside then this apartment is perfect.
Wonderful spacious apartment, amazing location, friendly staff at reception.
No elevator in the building, could have more power sockets
Comfort and decor of the apartment. Central location.
Quite close to the pub, but with window closed in the winter you cannot hear the noise. It is busy only on Friday and Saturday. I could not make the TV work.
Centrally located. Clean, confortable, large apartment.
No lift. A bit far from the hotel attached to it, where the reception is located.
Our family visited Riga on Christmas 2013 and we stayed at Laipu Apartment (number 5: kitchen, livingroom, bathroom and in upstairs bedroom and toilet) for four nights. The apartment was stunning, very well decorated and cozy with beautiful roof top view. The location of the apartment was the best: it was middle of the Old Town and really close to everything! And Riga on Christmas was just amazing, we just fell in love even more to that city!
I wouldn't recommend the appartment for the physically challenged people, because there's no elevator, only the quite narrow stairs and our apartment was on the 5th floor.
Furniture, location, big space
The main door could not be opened. I called the hotel for help and they send me someone. At last there was a special disk to bring near the code reader on the wall. It was very simple, but I could have been told at the reception, instead of trying to open and waiting under the rain. For this reason, the second pair of keys for my friend were useless because they had no disk.

I started an insurance policy a few years back with progressive, my
policy started out at $356 for a 6 month policy over the course of time
it went up slightly maybe $25-75.00 well in September of 2010 it jumped
to $1,798 for a 6 month policy with no incidents, claims, and the same
vehicle, so we obviously cancelled which means we had to re register
the vehicle in my name since my boyfriend lost his license and was
unable to get insured through anyone else, I found a company that
offered us $1100 a year for the same vehicle, but just out of curiosity
since progressive claims I still owe them money I did an online quote
with them again (how I bought the original policy) and got a new quote
of $631.00 for a 6 month policy.... How is that possible unless they
are roping people in and price gouging... which can't be legal is it?
when I called them to ask them why my policy had gone up so much
without any incidents or claims they simply told me they were having a
hard time adjusting there Massachusetts rates, and the rate of $1,756
is what they had to charge in Massachusetts, and maybe it would be best
for me to go find another company.
I think the answer to your cost might be in your question. Was your boyfriend a member of your household? If he was or was listed as an operator on your vehicle, that could be why the cost jumped. It is hard to say exactly without any information from the company.
If they take you to court over the money owed, it would make sense to serve them with discovery and obtain the policy breakdown as to cost. You can try sending them a letter asking for the information and see what they do.
You can always contact an attorney for a free consult ans see if you have a case they feel is worth taking, though Insurance companies are notoriously difficult to deal with and tightfisted.

April 10th marks the International Day of Pink. It is a day where communities across the country, and across the world, can unite in celebrating diversity and raising awareness to stop homophobic, transphobic & all forms of bullying.
The International Day of Pink was started in Nova Scotia when 2 straight high school students saw a gay student wearing a pink shirt being bullied. The 2 students intervened, but wanted to do more to prevent homophobic & transphobic bullying. They decided to purchase pink shirts, and a few days later got everyone at school to arrive wearing pink, standing in solidarity. The result was that an entire school stopped homophobic & transphobic bullying.
The message was clear: anyone can bully, any one can be victimized by bullying, but together we can stop it.
Each year on the second Wednesday of April, millions of people wear pink to remember that positive actions make a difference. And that the change starts with each one of us.

In response to an ever increasing demand, Medtech Wristbands has created a line of products targeting Bullying Prevention and Awareness. Although Medtech Wristbands continues to address other troubling social issues such as drug prevention through our "Red Ribbon Campaign", it is clear that the many forms which bullying takes dwarfs this terrible societal problem among school aged children.
A growing database of research reveals both the prevalence and detrimental long term effects on the victims of bullying. Research also indicates that many victims of bullying can themselves turn to bullying others. In an effort to create greater awareness and vigilance towards recognizing and addressing all forms of bullying, Medtech Wristbands has, in consultation with educators, created themed products for both elementary and secondary students which can be used as message aids in association with larger discussions or campaigns around bullying awareness.
We can also create custom product exclusively for your school or organization, whether it be a specific message, mascot or color choice you would like to have, but that this will make the delivery time a little longer and there would be an additional set-up charge. If however, you are ordering from the selections offered, your order would be shipped out 3-5 business days once we received your order confirmation. Please also consult the bottom of the order form to see the various accepted payment methods.

exploratory behaviors increase their likelihood of exposure (Bearer, 1995). In addition, the effects of exposure may be magnified by their smaller size and developmental immaturity (Bearer, 1995).
Among children, those in minority and low-income households are at greatest risk for health hazards in the home because of the generally poorer quality of their housing. Homes occupied by African Americans and low-income residents are 1.7 and 2.2 times more likely, respectively, to have a severe physical problem than other homes (Krieger and Higgins, 2002, citing American Housing Survey data). Children in low-income families are more likely to live in overcrowded households. Fatal residential injuries occur more frequently among African American children (Nagaraja et al., 2005). Evidence suggests that the higher prevalence of asthma and asthma morbidity among children in low-income families is at least partly attributable to housing conditions (Rauh, Chew, and Garfinkel, 2002; Huss et al., 1994). Lead poisoning is concentrated among poor, black children in older, poorly maintained homes in inner cities (Cummins and Jackson, 2001). In agricultural communities, particularly among the children of migrant farm workers, pesticide exposure is common (Bradman et al., 2005).
Research with children inevitably raises ethical concerns. First, unlike adults, children cannot directly avoid or mitigate the risks of research because of their lack of experience and lack of control of their environment. Second, young children cannot provide informed consent on their own behalf: their parents or guardians must give permission for them to be enrolled in research. Exposing humans to research risks to which they have not consented always calls for close ethical scrutiny.
The goal of research by definition is the advancement of generalizable knowledge. As such, research interventions primarily benefit society as a whole, or future generations of children, not necessarily the children enrolled in the research and exposed to any risks that may be associated with the research. The federal regulations that govern research with children recognize that children have unique vulnerabilities; the regulations are accordingly designed to provide special protections. Although additional guidance is needed on some aspects of these regulations (discussed in this report), the current regulatory framework provides a solid framework for conducting ethical research with children. However, the particular characteristics of housing health hazards research introduce ethical issues not fully addressed by the current regulations: those additional issues are the focus of this report. Although some of the same characteristics are present in other types of research, and the additional protections proposed could apply in these cases, the focus of this report is specifically on housing health hazards research.

Food For Kids
How can any child concentrate on education when they are hungry? Poverty causes many students to arrive at school Monday morning without adequate nourishment. Simply put, these children are hungry and in some cases have not eaten since Friday's school lunch. These circumstances create special needs and have dramatic effects on educational progress and self-esteem.Title One schools supply breakfast and lunch on school days… but who provides for them during the weekends?
Food For Kids is a Volunteer Center program that delivers non-perishable food to Title One elementary school children in the Compton and Long Beach Unified School Districts. The food is to be consumed over the weekend by these disadvantaged families. Every Friday, Volunteer Center volunteers assemble and deliver shopping bags to the schools/students. Each bag is filled with ten (10) items of non-perishable food, for example: pasta, tuna, oatmeal, soup, applesauce, rice, beans, canned beef, peas and cereals. This provides food for the family for the weekend. Each family also receives one of five nutrition flyers provided by Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center Torrance and the USDA.
Please help!
1. Donate
Each bag of food costs approximately $26.00. Donate to Food For Kids!
2. Donate Food
Review our list of appropriate food items and drop off your non-perishable food donations at our Torrance Food Pantry. We only accept food that has not passed its expiration date.
3. Support a Food Drive
Below we've offered a few ideas in order of increasing complexity but also effectiveness to feeding disadvantaged children and families in the South Bay area.
1. Ask your colleagues to bring nonperishable food items to a group meeting. There is a list of suggested items at nonperishable food list. Then bring the food to our food pantry at 1230 Cravens Ave, Torrance 90501 anytime between 8:30 to 4 M-F. Our volunteers here will do the packing of the food and then deliver it to the schools on Fridays.
2. Organize food drives at events that your group does: parties, meetings, etc. Alternatively, put a Food For Kids box in your lobby for people to see. We can provide big Food For Kids boxes that are great marketing tools.
3. Ask leaders in your group to work with grocery stores to either make direct donations to Food For Kids or to allow your group to request items from shoppers. This works great with children or groups of people.
4. Throw a big team event to collect food and pack the bags at your venue or ours. This is particularly fun if you "adopt a week" which is over 90 bags of food (about 900 items). We provide the bags and nutrition inserts. Your group has all the fun. Then bring all the bags to the Volunteer Center. One idea successful with large groups is to have competitions to see who can bring in (and pack?) the most food. It can be a a fun team building event.
You are very welcome to come meet us or we can speak to your group. I do hope we can work together. What you do makes a difference to real children and is deeply appreciated by the children and their families. Contact William for more information about how else you can help.

Some praise for your boy McKinnon... with a bit of a twist:
"Offense or defense for McKinnon?
I interview 10 to 15 draft candidates a week on my radio show and while most are impressive, every so often one of them is really special.
Jerick McKinnon is a former quarterback from Georgia Southern who went to the Senior Bowl to prove he could become a running back in the NFL. After a four-year career where he rushed for 3,899 yards and 42 touchdowns he might be a good running back candidate. McKinnon rushed for more than 100 yards against Georgia and Florida in games way over Georgia Southern's head when it came to talent on the field.
But here's my twist on McKinnon: I think I would draft him and put him at corner for a team that plays a lot of press man coverage. The kid benched 225 pounds 32 times, ran 4.35, and had a 40 1/2-inch vertical -- all better numbers than any corner in the draft. McKinnon can run, flip his hips and is explosive. McKinnon admitted two clubs were coming in to work him out as corner. Believe me that's a good idea."

An American Jew Roams in Germany

The German and Jewish people are forever locked in what Martin Luther King, Jr. called a 'single garment of destiny.'
Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt... Libya? Could it be? But why not? Why should Gaddafi be immune to the righteous Arab lust for freedom? He is after all one of the longest-serving, most brutal dictators in the world.
Israel championing Arab aspirations to democracy, thought a must in its own right, is vital to Israel's image and ancient Biblical mandate. Israel is not another country but one built on the dream of an ancient people being allowed to live freely in its land.
Here we are. The greatest democracy on earth is led by a man whose rhetoric and actions on freedom are in conflict. Fortunately, it appears as though Egypt's people have found freedom without the backing of President Obama.
Surely every president wishes to be transformational; and now President Obama has been given an unequaled opportunity to change the very course of history by liberating hundreds of millions of people.
Snipers are picking protesters off from rooftops in Tripoli. But in the city of Englewood, New Jersey the Libyan flag continues to fly high and proud. I see it every day right across my yard.
Mr. President. Everyone knows you can speak about what's happening in Libya. You're an eloquent guy with a broad vocabulary. Are the words 'despicable,' 'monstrous,' and 'loathsome' outside your Harvard-trained vocabulary?

Faris finally gets respect in Big East
|Connecticut guard Kelly Faris (34) during the second half of an NCAA women's college basketball game against South Florida Saturday, March 2, 2013, in Tampa, Fla. Connecticut won the game 85-51. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
STORRS — After four seasons of toiling in anonymity and doing the dirty work for the UConn women's basketball team, Kelly Faris finally received some postseason recognition.
The 5-foot-11 senior guard, who has played the role of defensive stopper for several years, Thursday was named the Big East Defensive Player of the Year in a vote of the league coaches. In recognition of her becoming more than just a defender this year, she was also named co-recipient of the Big East Most Improved Player, along with DePaul's Brittany Hrynko.
"It definitely feels good. I say it over and over: I'm not huge on the accolades and getting the individual awards,'' Faris said. "But at the same time, I appreciate it a lot and I'm honored that they felt that I deserve that. I wouldn't want to get it if I didn't feel, or if they didn't feel, like I deserved it.''
There was no question in Geno Auriemma's mind Faris earned her honors.
"She certainly deserved it," Auriemma said. "When you work at something, you should be rewarded for it. I think what Kelly does, it's not so obvious sometimes. So I think for the other coaches to recognize that about her is fitting. It's a great way to wrap up your senior year. I wish she would've made first-team (All-Big East), but that's asking too much."
Faris said that while she appreciates that others recognize her hard work, she would gladly trade in her individual accolades for the Big East regular season championship the Huskies lost to Notre Dame on Monday.
"Who wouldn't?" Faris said. "Great, I got Defensive Player of the Year, but I could've got a whole Big East
See FARIS, Page 5C
regular season. That's way up here and the other one's way down here. So anyday, yeah, I'd trade it.''
Faris didn't practice Thursday because of a sprained ligament in her left foot, but she said there is no way she will miss Sunday's Big East Tournament quarterfinal. She injured the foot on the last play of the first half against Notre Dame, but she played all but 39 seconds of the second half and all three overtimes.
Auriemma said there was a slight possibility she wouldn't play Sunday.
"I don't know what he's talking about," said Faris, who wore a walking boot. "That's not an option. I'll be playing. If it was up to me, I would be practicing today."
Faris has started in 106 consecutive games, which is tied for third with Jamelle Elliott. She has played in 145 consecutive games which is tied for fifth all-time with Jessica Moore.
Faris, who was also named All-Big East second team, was one of six Huskies honored by the Big East on Thursday in the first round of postseason award announcements.
Stefanie Dolson and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis were named to the 12-member All-Big East first team with Mosqueda-Lewis being one of three players unanimously chosen to the team. Faris was the lone UConn representative on the all-conference second team while Bria Hartley and Breanna Stewart received honorable mention recognition.
Stewart and Moriah Jefferson were named to the 10-player All-Big East rookie team, with Stewart one of four unanimous selections.
The only postseason awards Faris had earned prior to this season were All-Rookie team honors during the 2010-11 season and All-Big East honorable mention as a sophomore. While others were busy collecting awards, Faris was significantly impacting games in a variety of ways.
She recently became only the second player in UConn history to amass 1,000 career points, 750 rebounds, 500 assists and 250 steals. The only other player to accomplish that feat was Maya Moore. Faris currently has 1,037 points, 764 rebounds, 510 assists and 278 steals.
Faris became only the third UConn player to earn the Defensive Player of the Year, joining Ashley Battle (2003) and Nykesha Sales (twice, 1997 and 1998). She is also the third to earn Most Improved player, joining Mel Thomas (2006) and Ketia Swanier (2008).
"I think Kelly is the best defensive player in the country," Mosqueda-Lewis said. "It is just how tenacious Kelly is. It is the fact that she is just not going to let you score on her. If she wants to get that stop, she is going to get it and she is willing to do anything to do it. She will dive on the floor. She will dive on you. She is getting the ball regardless."
This marks the first time either Dolson or Mosqueda-Lewis has been named to the All-Big East first team. Dolson earned honorable mention recognition last year as a sophomore. Mosqueda-Lewis was named to the second team last year and also won the Rookie of the Year and the Sixth Man of the Year awards last year.
The league's major awards for this season will be announced today with it expected to be a sweet for Big East champion Notre Dame. Skylar Diggins, last year's Player of the Year, is expected to win that honor again while Irish coach Muffet McGraw is expected to win the Coach of the Year honor and freshman Jewell Loyd is the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year.
The last time UConn failed to win at least one of the three major honors was the 2005 season when Jacqueline Batteast of Notre Dame won Player of the Year, C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers was the Coach of the Year and Matee Ajavon of Rutgers was named Rookie of the Year.

We're referring to Mayor Laura Miller, and to be honest we've had this bit stored away since she first announced she was running for city council in 1997. In fact, Buzz had to search our archives just to make sure we hadn't used it yet.
So why now? Because we just got off the phone with political gadfly and Web publisher Sharon Boyd, after we spent the morning looking through her Web site www.dallasarena.com, the unofficial voice of conservative North Dallas. Boyd, it seems, has joined the list of former Miller supporters who have become disenchanted with the mayor.
"I'm convinced that aliens got her," says Boyd, who was an early and ardent grassroots volunteer for Miller's mayoral campaign. "That's just the only explanation, because she doesn't act like the Laura Miller I knew."
Boyd and other contributors to her Web site are particularly puzzled by Miller's push to complete the Trinity River project and its ornate suspension bridges--the "string thing" bridges, Boyd calls them. They are angered at the mayor's comments concerning disability pay for injured police and firefighters. They're annoyed at the possibility the city may construct a homeless center on Harry Hines Boulevard in Northwest Dallas. They're suspicious of her attitude toward public financing for a new Cowboys stadium. Where's the old Miller who would have rained vituperation down on the head of Jerry Jones?
Well, you know, where you stand, etc. etc...
Boyd, whose Web site is known for attaching derisive nicknames to pols she dislikes, even has one for Miller now. "Our Mayor," she calls her; it's meant to be ironic, but it seems like a pretty tepid moniker for the site that routinely called former Mayor Ron Kirk "Con Jerk." Yet even when prodded, Boyd expresses little rage and deeper disappointment and puzzlement about Miller, whom she has not spoken with in ages. "I've really been terribly disappointed she's gotten so far off the basics," Boyd says. The "silly string" bridges push has been particularly upsetting, since Boyd fears the money poured into the Trinity project will bleed funding from rapid transit and other, more vital road improvements.
"This whole Trinity project is really what's broken my heart," Boyd says.
But was she really surprised? We asked her if she thought any local politician anywhere could ever forego putting his or her name on a brass plaque on some big, honkin' shiny doodad for posterity. Forgetting that Boyd is conservative, we pointed out that even former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, a good mayor and Democrat, had his Alamodome. (Long story short: Many thought San Antonio needed a domed stadium the way Dallas needs a suspension bridge.)
"Henry Cisneros has always been an arrogant self-promoter, but that's not who Laura was," Boyd shot back.
We didn't argue with her for the same reason we don't go duck hunting in barrels.

The Chuck Series Finale: Grade It!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Morgan moved in with Alex. Casey left to save Gertrude. Ellie and Awesome took off for Chicago, Jeffster! for Germany and, of course, Chuck planted a memorable kiss on Sarah.
While we're still wiping our eyes from a moving Chuck finale, one that took us back to the pilot and gave us an idea of what's ahead for these characters, we have one simple question for our TV Fanatics:
What did you think? Grade the concluding episode now:
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Chuck, Polls
I feel like I had to get this off my chest somewhere so here goes, for me the whole 5th season was bitterly disappointing (yes there were some moments of genuine interest) Casey's past relationship and Sarah's mother being the only real two, and also anything Jeffster does is amazing. However I personally didn't like the whole lets pass the destructive intersect around our characters idea! And I felt the character of Quinn was all round poorly executed, it felt like he appeared and disappeared from nowhere and should have had more episodes dedicated to exploring his character. For me after seeing the 5th series it is my personal belief that chuck should have ended with the phone call from Hartley as Morgan drove the happy couple off into the sunset, but that's just me. In spite of this I am still able to recognise the good work that the production team put into what such a short final season and believe had it not been as restricted in length may have had the freedom to explore more personally intriguing story lines.
The ending was decent. They had to have some conflict, so the memory loss was created for the last season as Morgan was the first to experience it. Sarah had total loss since she flashed so much continuing the story. The writers tried to make it happier for her by having her slowly regain some of her memory, but there was not enough time to complete that story. So instead they had that last scene on the beach to complete the story and a sort of resolution. The only really partially unresolved part was the intersect fixed when Chuck downloaded it to defuse the bomb? That was not clear in the final scenes at the inpromptu concert while they were on the roof (and what was Beckman doing at a concert anyway - and how did she not notice the bottom of the chair cloaked before she sat down?) Overall, I believe the writers did a fairly good job wrapping up the series with the narrow box they had to conclude the show the fifth season with 13 more episodes. For what it was, it was a nice ride.
It was pretty clear through the last episode that Sarah gets her memory back but what about the intersect in Chucks brain? After trying to effectively get rid of it it ends up in his head anyway without any real resolution as to what happened. I gave it a D primarliy on that alone.
I was not impressed with the buildup of the last couple episodes. The whole memory loss is as overplayed as making timeline changes. The episode lacked any type of finale for all of the characters. They all had these limbo happy endings. Personally, it felt like a copout from the writers, to give all the characters some sort of quasi-happy ending, so that no one would be truly upset with the finale. And I don't even think they concluded on whether Chuck still has the intersect or not now...
I just wish Sarah didn't lose her memory, and what happens after that!
As of the moment I'm writing this, 614 people have voted. 23 people graded the finale an "F." F? Really????? Hey, while I thought the Quinn-based plot of the last few episodes was badly written, there is no way any person could reasonably give the finale a grade worse than C. I'm guessing that the over 5% D and F grades were the result of people not seeing the happy ending they (and I) wanted.
I want to the movie chuck so badly! I will miss chuck&sarah,casey all of them!
A++!!! The series finale showcased everything we loved about Chuck... It was a great curtain call for all the characters and it's good that they all had their respective endings. I'm just a bit frustrated that the team has to break up now that Chuck has the intersect again!!! I say yes to Chuck the movie!!!! Still, for the series, I liked how the writers ended it... I didn't mind that it seemed like starting over again.. because then we're free to imagine what goes next.. and the finale and the series itself gave enough to assure us that there will always be a lot of laughs, love and action!
Sarah does get her memory back!! The several times she' remembered things (i.e. Irene Demova Virus from five years ago) proves the memories are still there, they just need time to resurface. Her viewing of her missions log DVD will also help. The most satisfying answer to Sarah and Chuck resuming their blissfully 'lovable genius guy nerd/sexy genius girl spy' marriage, is revealed at the end of the finale. When Sarah asks Chuck to tell a/their story, she is inviting him closer into her emotional life is a very meaningful request. It means she wants to know. Sarah told Chuck to "kiss me", the deal was pretty much sealed. But there's more. As the camera panned back, showing them on the beach, STILL KISSING ...well, would a woman that still felt threatened and confused, be 'still kissing? Hardly! Believe me when I tell you, Chuck and Sarah are madly in love, buying that house, and making a baby ...even as we wish them the very best. Great series!!
I just thought the ending was a homage to the movie "100 First Dates," with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sander with some ending line: "How about another First Kiss?"

The Perfect Stay!
The Brandon cottage was a perfect place to stay for a mother daughter weekend. It was cozy, clean with outstanding hospitality. The animals were a added plus that warmed our hearts. Brandon is a cute town with lots of historical character. I highly recommend this cottage for couples, families or girls weekend. Thank you so much for making our weekend memorable.
A wonderful family get-away!!
This is a wonderful rental property. The owners have gone out of their way to add all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. Our family has been coming to the lake for almost 20 years and this property has been our favorite by far! I think this coming year will be our 8th at the camp. Quiet cove for swimming or lounging around on a float. Plenty of space inside and out. You wil not be disappointed!!
Idyllic lake cottage experience
We loved our quintessential cottage getaway. The lake views were stunning, particularly at sunset, and the two decks were perfect for entertaining both day and night. The cottage was quaint and cozy, with more than ample sleeping space and a light airy feel to the common areas. The screened porch was great for coffee and muffins in the morning and cocktails at night. With all the pleasures of both the sparkling lake and the majestic Green Mountains, this rental really fit the summer "rest and rejuvenation" bill. Lake Bomoseen and the surrounding area are brilliant. We definitely will return.

Thieves break into Swansea City boss Garry Monk's car at his Killay home
Posted: February 13, 2014|
By Paul Turner / email@example.com / @readmybook
GARRY Monk's fiancee has tweeted that their car was broken into last night.
It comes just three months after the Swansea City manager's house was broken into.
Hi fiancee Lexy Blackwell tweeted: "So p****d off - the car's been broken into last night, 2 months after we get burgled.

So p****d off - the car's been broken into last night, 2 months after we get burgled.
What is wrong with some people #filfth
— Lexy Blackwell (@MissLexyB) February 13, 2014
During the burglary in November last year the raiders made off with a haul of jewellery, watches and computers — and even the player's kitbag, from Monk's home in Gower Road, Killay.
The incident happened while he was having knee surgery and Monk only found out once he had come round from the anaesthetic.
The club condemned the burglars at the time, saying of Monk: "He has given everything to the club, the local community and the supporters for nearly a decade and doesn't deserve this.
Monk subsequently offered a reward for anyone with information leading to conviction.
Last month Donna Williams, 33, from Brokesby Road in Bonymaen, appeared before Swansea magistrates who heard she had bought a £3,500 watch stolen from Monk's home, for just £20.
Donna Williams had bartered about how much she was willing to pay because she thought the £30 asked for it was too much to pay for what she believed was a counterfeit watch, the court heard.
Williams admitted a single charge of handling stolen goods, namely a woman's white Chanel watch. She was given a 12-month community order and told to complete 120 hours of unpaid work.
