Bachelor Pad: The Good, The Dumb And The Ugly
Jesse and Tenley came out the winners of the game and each chose one person for a date. Tenley, of course, chose Kiptyn, and together they fluttered off. The obligatory helicopter ride made a welcome appearance for this date. It felt soo Bachelorette. Barbie and Ken were flown to Catalina Island and spent the day falling in lurv. Kiptyn, try as he might to hide it, is like, totally falling hard for Tenley.
Come nightfall, Tenley asked Kiptyn to forego his single room and spend the night in the Fantasy Suite engaging in, as Tenley put it: Sweet kisses and talking. Oh, yeah, I'm sure this is exactly what Kiptyn had in mind.
Next up: Jesse B.'s one-on-one date. Still hot and dumb as ever, he chose southern gal Peyton for his mile-high date in an old timey airplane. After the airborne jaunt, the two had dinner in the most romantic setting ever: an airplane hanger. Peyton was totally feeling Jesse B. and was ready to swap spit, when out of the blue Jesse B. started acting like a 10-year old boy. He started burping, picking boogers, and rapidly losing his attractiveness to Bachelor Pad devotees across the country. Peyton, too, was grossed out and declined his invitation to further pick boogers in the Fantasy Suite, but not before Jesse B. gave her the rose.
With the episode chugging along, the rose ceremony was upon our hostile hotties in no time. Everyone seemed to think they were on the chopping block. But it was really just Gwen, Krisily, Kovacs and Wes who needed to worry.
The Testosterone Triplets decided to vote Gwen out. Dave went to Krisily and said, "Yo—you're safe if you vote for Wes, not my boy Kovacs" or something to that extent. Krisily, still giggly from Dave's kiss last week, agreed to the plan and, for the first time ever, felt completely safe at the rose ceremony.
Kiptyn then, had a crisis of conscience, and told his boys that he would only feel comfy voting for that meanie, Krisily, not granny Gwen. The boys followed his lead, and lo and behold, Krisily got axed. And she was piiiiiised. Before she got forcibly stuffed in the limo, she gave those popular kids a piece of her mind and left The Outsiders with a sage warning: "Break up the couples or they'll become more famous than you and score a slot on Dancing With The Stars next to The Situation!"
Oh yeah—country crooner Wes got axed too. As he climbed into the limo he yelled at the top of his lungs: "I'm coming for ya Gia!" Unless he meets someone new in the airport on his way home.
'Til next week… keep that hot tub clean and the fightin' dirty, ya'll.

Exceeds target set by the Ministry of Steel
Despite sluggish growth in the automobile, construction and manufacturing sectors, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. (RINL) has achieved a record sales turnover of Rs.6,215 crore in the first half of 2011-12, registering 28 per cent growth over the corresponding period last year.
The company, which is the corporate entity of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, has fulfilled 117 per cent of the MoU target set by the Ministry of Steel. In this backdrop, the regional managers and senior branch managers met on Monday and reviewed the performance of the company besides preparing a business plan for the second half.
Chairman-cum-Managing Director A. P. Choudhary and Director (Commercial) T. K. Chand expressed satisfaction over the performance.
The marketing department made a presentation on the performance as well as the areas of concern, targets and challenges ahead for the second half.
The steel market scenario in the first half was marked by sluggish growth in major consuming sectors such as construction, manufacturing, automobile and engineering.
Marketing strategy
Despite this, RINL steered through by dynamic marketing strategy and consistently achieved more than Rs.1,000-crore sales in the last four months. The marketing plan focussed on opening new market, maximisation of net sales realisation and high standards customer service.

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Twitter came alive with shocking news. The Syrian Electronic Army apparently hacked the feed of the satirical site The Onion. Syrians topped their attacks on AP, "60 Minutes" and NPR. After being victimized, The Onion published tips to avoid being hacked. Move site to a new web address every few minutes.
Reduce interest in your website by avoiding popular subjects like Syria. And if you receive an email asking for your password, dig deeper by entering information. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Get A Head Start
Get your new plants off to the right start by using DIEHARD™ Transplant. This soil amendment contains 16 strains of mycorrhizal fungi, biostimulants, beneficial bacteria and Horta-Sorb® water management gel.
Simply sprinkle the product into the planting hole adjacent to the root ball when planting.
The organisms will start to work right away supplying the roots with much need nutrition.
The specially formulated Horta-Sorb® will reduce transplant stress and aid in water retention.
APPLICATION: 1 oz. Per Gallon Size Container 1 oz. Per Ft. High Bare Root Plant
The Pink Lady Apple is a native of Western Australia and does extraordinarily well in warm and hot climates. As an extra perk, the versatile Pink Lady also thrives in colder climates--making this beauty a cold-hardy and heat-resistant treasure.
Get ready for a show-stopping experience from mid-spring through early summer as fragrant, creamy white to pale pink blossoms appear. You'll find the air around this tree heavily perfumed from the enormous quantity of blooms it can produce. The delicate flowers are a breathtaking contrast against the gorgeous emerald foliage, so Pink Lady Apple tempts and arouses all your senses. In mid to late October, this tree's foliage comes alive in a fiery explosion of orange, maroon and blushing yellow—and it's officially time to harvest your Pink Lady apples! This works out perfectly for all your fall and winter holiday baking, as Pink Lady apples taste best when stored for a few weeks, and have an even longer shelf life when refrigerated. The Pink Lady Apple is a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Lady Williams. Consequently, Pink Lady's fruit flaunts an attractive crimson blush over a base of pale greenish yellow. These are stunning in a bowl on your kitchen counter. Pink Lady's flesh is creamy light yellow, dense and juicy. Fruit size runs medium to large with a subtle aroma of sweet pear, melon and cider. Some apple lovers swear that Pink Ladies taste like a hint of honeydew with a splash of orange. Crisp and sweet-tart, the Pink Lady makes a tasty treat fresh off the tree or in salads, and performs equally well when sauced, baked and canned. Once you become acquainted with the Pink Lady, this delicious fruit will become your new favorite for baking apple pies, tarts and crisps.
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Pink Lady® Apple Tree. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your Pink Lady® Apple Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Pink Lady® Apple Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Summary: Fifty years ago, in the winter of 1945, Gerda Weissmann, with more than four thousand other young women, began a thousand-mile march from a labor camp in western Germany to Czechoslovakia. A prisoner of the Nazis from the age of eighteen, Gerda was one of 120 who survived that march. On May 7, 1945, she and the rest of the group were liberated by the 5th American Infantry Division. The Nazis had taken all but her life. She was rescued by Lieutenant Kurt Klein, who saw to it that she ...show morereceived immediate medical care and visited her during her long convalescence. They fell in love, and a year later were married in Paris; they then traveled to Buffalo, New York, to begin a new life together. All But My Life is Gerda Klein's celebrated account of her three frightful years as a prisoner. It was the memories of her parents (who died at Auschwitz) and of her brother (who fled to unoccupied Poland and later perished) that made it possible for her to survive. Since coming to America, Ms. Klein has become prominent in,Jewish affairs and has lectured throughout the country on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal, Bonds for Israel, and Hadassah, as well as to colleges and public schools. In the epilogue to this new edition, Gerda Klein answers the questions posed by her readers and her audiences across America. ...show less

Harass him to prevent health regen between waves and burst him when you safely can. He isn't OVERLY difficult to beat.
He is ridiculous. Lost a game today only because our top fed Garen. Every other lane was fine. I would try Yorick against him because of Yoricks extreme harass to keep his passive off. But other then that he needs to be nerfed like ahri did. Either your tanks or damage and not completely both.
Junior Member
Oh god another game where someone fed a garen with some stupid champ that shouldnt be laning against him comes to cry for a nerf. Guess what nerf him and he will be worthless, his late game is trash unless FED. I do not agree with the OP or anyone coming to cry for nerfs to garen, but i understand your pain because i dismantle people all the time with him and im sure they are butt hurt to the core. What i do know is that i can kick the **** out of any garen anytime. its called Yorick, Jayce, Teemo, GP, Kayle, Nidalee. L2PLAY
Kayle, Yorick, Nid, Jayce, Panth All 5 really stick it to Garen. Kayle is by far the absolute hugest screw you to Garen as her kit is perfect for screwing him over. You can kite him all day, shut down his passive by simply attacking things near him and splashing him. The trick is to use heal to out run him until he uses Q to catch up, and then as soon as he uses his Q, hit him with yours. He can't even touch you doing that. Then when he gets low enough to kill him, bait him in and ult yourself when he would want to ult you and kill him from within your ult...

NEW YORK ( TheStreet)-- Zynga, the privately-held social gaming company, has reached a higher valuation than video game publisher Electronic Arts (ERTS), according to SharesPost, an exchange for shares of privately held companies.
Zynga, the San Francisco-based creator of the popular FarmVille and Mafia Wars titles, is worth about $5.5 billion while Electronic Arts is valued at around $5.2 billion.
Zynga uses social networks like Facebook to distribute its games. The company has grown at lightspeed, increasing its headcount from 150 to 1,100 employees within the past 18 months.
More than 215 monthly active users play Zynga games, according to the company. In comparison, Crowdstar, Facebook's second-largest game developer behind Zynga, has around 55 million users. Zynga generates revenue from the sale of virtual goods -- digital items that gamers buy with real cash such as a cow or corn FarmVille. While most virtual goods cost from $1 to $3, these figures can add up -- the virtual goods market is expected to reach $1.6 billion this year in the U.S. alone, according to Inside Network. Electronic Arts, however, has faced challenges transitioning away from a traditional brick-and-mortar business towards digital distribution. While the video game publisher begun to break into digital this summer through its acquisitions of social gaming companies Playfish and Chillingo, EA's shares have declined almost 4% in the last three months. Last quarter, Electronic Arts' revenue fell to $539 million excluding items, compared to $816 million in the year-ago period. The company has laid off more than 1,500 workers in the last few months. SharesPost bases its valuations on research estimates, trades of recent shares and funding round valuations. Shares of Electronic Arts were up 1.28% to $15.82 in mid afternoon trading. --Written by Olivia Oran in New York.>To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/ozoran. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

The ASE-certified mechanics at Pete's Tires and Automotive Service scrutinize cars made in 1996 or later to ensure they meet the state's safety and emissions expectations. During the state inspection, trained eyes gaze into the depths of your car, analyzing the exhaust system, tinkering with turn signals and headlights, and testing the horn by honking through your favorite rock song. Technicians also gauge tire pressure and fiddle with the seat belts, parking brakes, and windshield wipers. After checking the brake system to verify that the brakes are powerful enough to stop cars from trying to race into every destruction derby they pass, the auto doctors bring the one-hour service to an end with a tire rotation.
At a family-run auto shop, Rick and his son Jeremy lead a team of mechanics ready to tackle all automotive needs. They accomplish a wide range of services for American and foreign cars, including engine tuning, brake repair, and electrical diagnosis. Their expertise also extends to exhaust troubles as well as the installation of truck accessories and trailer hitches.
Texas Motorplex is an all-concrete quarter-mile drag racing facility located in Ennis, Texas. The facility opened in 1986, becoming the first super-stadium built specifically for drag racing. The Motorplex has hosted national event racing since 1986 and has been the site of record-breaking passes, championship-clinching pe
Since its inception more than 30 years ago, Just Brakes has expanded from one auto shop to more than 160 outposts across eight states. At every location, ASE-certified technicians maintain vehicle safety with professional brake services including brake-line repair and replacement, ABS diagnosis and repair, and adjustments that come with a lifetime warranty on parts, labor, and platonic love. Though their specialty is brakes, the techs also perform routine maintenance and repairs such as oil changes, suspension repair, and belt replacement.
The locally owned Express Care Quick Lube center betters the interior and exterior of vehicles with the same skill and professional touch championed by Valvoline in more than 100 different countries. Full-service oil changes keep cars running smoothly, and replacement batteries reinvigorate weary engine blocks. While transmission and radiator services take care of the inner organs, laser car washes keep the car's shell radiant with high-pressure washes, polishes, and sealants that protect the paint against moisture and UV rays.

Some Notes from Analyzing OSM US History Data
Posted by dalek2point3 on 16 June 2014 in English (English)The Data
Today, I've finally gotten a chance to play with data from the OSM History extract that I created using the parser that I wrote about last time.
This is what the data contains:
- Every node that contains either an amenity, addr:housenumber or place tag.
- For each node, I record basic metadata, "name" and gnis* tags
- Every way that contains either an amenity, highway, building or parking tag.
- For each node, I also record basic metadata and the following tags:
- name
- tiger:cfcc, tiger:county, tiger:reviewed
- access
- oneway

The resulting flatfiles are large, partly because I'm parsing the "history" data, so I'm including every past version of every node and way, in addition to the most current version. There are about 6.3 million node entries and about 48.7 million way entries. For each of these nodes and ways, I ran them through my point-in-poly program to code the county and the MSA that each way / node lies in.
The next big step was to drop imported data. I really dont care about this -- obviously this includes data from the TIGER import but also many other major edits in the US. Interpret the numbers below as the contribution of OSM editors -- but major national level imports. I've not removed smaller county level imports, because I see them as being relevant to my analyses, but also because they're harder to pin down. So the data includes any way, node with the relevant tag touched by a non-TIGER (and some other importer accounts).
Some Highlights
Way data
How many items do we have for each of the 4 types? * Highway = 15.9 million versions, 7.9 million uniques * Building = 6 million versions, 4.9 uniques * Amenity = 460k versions, 331 uniques * Parking = 52.6k uniques, 66k versions, * All data = 22.3 million versions, 13.1 million uniques
Other notes: * About 5.8 million of the 15.9 million way versions have a tigercfcc / tigercounty tag.
Node data (pending)

The height I needed. Stands look great. Patrick from Los Angeles– Verified Buyer The lantern stands are the perfect height for my outdoor balcony. I only used the stands, not the lanterns that came with them. I had my own lanterns for the stands. I looked a long time to find stands of that height and chose your site. Thank you. |

I am baffled by this fixture. We had it installed a couple of years ago and need to change light bulbs. The electrician threw out the instructions. The metal tabs on the sides move on the glass, but I can't seem to twist/force them off, and don't want to break the glass if this is not the right way. Does anyone have one of these? Thanks for your help! |

I have very similar lights down the hall, I believe you will find one of the metal tabs or two, will be on a spring. Just pull straight away from the glass and the glass should be released. Do not pull down or up just out. Hope this helps and you understand what i am trying to say. Maid |
Yes, it worked. Thank you so much! I am always amazed at how fast and accurate the information is on this site. |

Sen. John D. "Jay" Rockefeller IV (D., W.Va.), who said Friday he plans to leave the Senate when this term expires, is a great-grandson of oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, and nephew of former New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. But he's not the nation's wealthiest lawmaker – though he may have the one of the more impressive residences.
Roll Call has estimated Mr. Rockefeller's personal wealth at $83 million, making him the fifth wealthiest person in the House or Senate, based on his financial disclosures. His Washington residence, for its part, is a 1920s mansion on more than a dozen acres of land just off Rock Creek Park just four miles north of the White House. The property was assessed at $16.5 million by the D.C. government in 2012, and Zillow currently estimates its value at about $17.7 million.
The home, called the Rocks, a name chosen before Mr. Rockefeller bought the home, was described in a 2008 pool report (and later condensed into a New York Times reporter's notebook) by Times reporter Michael Powell this way:
"Our night began at The Rocks, Jay Rockefeller's chateau away from chateau deep in the hills of Rock Creek Park. To reach the site of this particular Obama fundraiser, you wind along the edges of Rock Creek Park and then turn up a steep, long, hey mistah Rockefeller, howabout $3000 to shovel your driveway sort of entryway. … There are oaks and Chestnut trees and then there's the house, with four Ionic columns and a slate roof and 17 windows across the front and the Rockefellers apparently suffer no critical shortage of guest bedrooms. It is a useful reminder that before the Gates and Bloomberg and Warren B., there was old man John D. Rockefeller, who bequeathed successive generations of descendants a truly astonishing boodle of money."

Financial Audit:
Guidance for Auditing Federal Employee and Veteran Benefit Payable Actuarial Estimates
GAO-06-768R: Published: Jun 29, 2006. Publicly Released: Jun 29, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
In our role as principal auditor of the consolidated financial statements of the U.S. government (CFS), we plan to use the work of the inspectors general and contracted independent public accountants who audit the agency-level financial statements. The development of the joint PCIE/GAO Financial Audit Manual (FAM) has provided a common framework and methodology for federal financial statement auditing. Adherence to the FAM will enable us to readily review the work of other auditors as a basis for using that work under auditing standards. We want to all be on the same page so that we are in the position to use the work of the inspectors general. Certain CFS line items that will be subject to our concurrent review because of their significance, such as the federal employee and veteran benefits payable line item, involve federal agencies' significant actuarial estimations. Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 57, Auditing Accounting Estimates applies to such estimations. In addition, Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standard (SFFAS) No. 5 requires that federal agencies disclose specific information in their financial statements for pensions, other retirement benefits, and other postemployment benefits. Additional related audit guidance was provided in November 2004 when the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued its Statement of Position (SOP) 04-1, Auditing the Statement of Social Insurance effective for periods beginning after September 30, 2005. This audit guidance discusses the auditor's responsibility under SAS No. 57 and includes specific illustrative control and audit procedures that are applicable to auditing actuarial estimates to achieve SAS No. 57 objectives. Actuarial estimates for both social security and the federal employee and veteran benefit payable line item are developed by methods which calculate for the projection period covered by an actuarial valuation, the excess of (a) the present value of projected benefits of the group included in an actuarial valuation over (b) the actuarial value of program-related assets. Although the SOP 04-1 was specifically developed for use in auditing federal agencies' statements of social insurance, we consider the internal control and audit procedures discussed in SOP 04-1 to be appropriate for auditing the significant actuarial estimates in the federal employee and veteran benefit payable line item as well. Beginning in fiscal year 2006, we plan to use SOP 04-1 as criteria in determining the extent to which we can use audit work performed by agency auditors in this area. To the extent that the concepts and objectives of SOP 04-1 are found to be appropriate to other audit areas in the future, we will consider its use in such areas.
The purpose of this letter and the enclosure is to alert the inspectors general to (1) our plan to use SOP 04-1 audit guidance in our review of agency auditors' work on federal employee and veteran benefits payable estimates that are significant to the CFS and (2) observations made during our review of selected agency auditors' work regarding such actuarial estimations as outlined in enclosure I and what additional work would need to be done to be consistent with SOP 04-1 audit guidance. We look forward to continuing to work with the federal audit community as we collectively strive to ensure the highest quality audits of federal financial statements.

Just How Easy Is It to Become a Jedi Knight?
Features By Kevin Carr on December 23, 2013 | Comments (5)One of my favorite movie series of all time is the Star Wars films. Yes, even the prequels. I'm sure whatever happens with the upcoming sequels, they will make the list, too. I'm an shameless fanboy when it comes to this series, and I can forgive a lot – from Greedo shooting first to Jar Jar Binks. Since I was a child, seeing the original Star Wars at the tender age of five, I have loved the series. My youthful mind always wished I could be a Jedi Knight myself. Now, I know that's impossible because I certainly don't have nearly enough midi-chlorians in my blood for that. In fact, it was a relief for me to learn this plot patch when I saw The Phantom Menace because by watching the original trilogy as a child, it seemed so easy to train to be a Jedi Knight. Going back and watching that original trilogy again, it got me thinking: Just how long does it take to complete Jedi Knight training?
Revisiting Jim Henson's 'The Dark Crystal' To See If It's Worth Revisiting
Features By Rob Hunter on September 5, 2013 | Comments (5)It's a known fact that the summer of '82 offered up perhaps the best movie season on record (no, really, you can Google it), but the entire year is a never-ending marvel of cinematic joy. A small sampling includes 48 Hours, Blade Runner, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gandhi, Poltergeist, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Tootsie, and The World According to Garp. Hell, we even got The Beastmaster, Megaforce and Zapped. But as fantastic and memorable as those movies are there are two specific releases from 1982 that helped shape a young me into the movie lover I am today. First up was John Carpenter's The Thing, a film I had been anxiously following in Fangoria and Starlog (and one I had to guilt-trip my dad into taking me to for having walked me out of Conan the Barbarian during the witch-humping scene), and then six months later came Jim Henson's and Frank Oz' fantastical puppet adventure, The Dark Crystal. The two movies could hardly be farther apart in tone and style, but they shared a mastery over practical effects used to create a world, build atmosphere, and enhance a story in ways many effects-filled movies never manage. We can all agree that Carpenter's film is a classic, and my annual viewings on Blu-ray show that it holds up in every regard. But what about The Dark Crystal? It doesn't appear in conversation nearly as often as other '80s kids films do. You never hear any […]
31 Days of Horror: An American Werewolf in London (1981)
31 Days of Horror By Rob Hunter on October 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThey said it couldn't be done. A fifth year of 31 Days of Horror? 31 more terror, gore and shower scene-filled movies worth highlighting? But Rejects always say die and never back away from a challenge, so we've rounded up the horror fans among us and put together another month's worth of genre fun. Enjoy! Synopsis: Two American friends backpacking through the UK are attacked on the moors by a werewolf. Jack (Griffin Dunne) is mauled to death, but David (David Naughton)survives the attack with bite and claw wounds. Dreams where he runs naked through the woods tearing into animals with his teeth hint that something is wrong, and visits from a decomposing Jack seem to confirm it. Something is very wrong indeed. Thankfully, it's also very very funny.
7 Directors Who Got Their Start in Science Fiction
Cinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on June 7, 2012 | Comments (5)Science fiction has long been considered by some experts to be a lesser genre than traditional dramas and character studies. Because it lends itself so easily to exploitation, science fiction isn't always given the respect it deserves. Sure, it tends to be a box office winner, as evidenced by the fact that more than half of the all-time domestic grossing films fit easily in that genre (with at least two more – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Shrek 2 – marginally related as genre films). Still, some still consider science fiction something not to be taken seriously. It is for this reason that "legitimate" film directors might shy away from science fiction in lieu of more important or significant projects. However, many directors got their start or their earliest fame from working in science fiction and other allegedly exploitative and pulp genres. This week's release of Prometheus reminds us that even though Ridley Scott has directed historical epics (Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven), military action films (Black Hawk Down), crime thrillers (American Gangster) and straight dramas (Thelma & Louise), he got his start in science fiction with Alien and Blade Runner. Scott isn't the only director to begin a successful career in science fiction. Here are seven other directors who started out or received some of their earliest success in this genre.
If Joseph Gordon-Levitt's New 'Little Shop of Horrors' Is a Remake of a Remake, Does That Counteract The Remake Backlash?
In Development By Nathan Adams on May 3, 2012 | Comments (1)Little Shop of Horrors is a story about a man-eating plant that's been around for quite a while. It started off as a silly Roger Corman movie from the early '60s, but even before that, Corman's work is thought to have been inspired by a John Collier story called "Green Thoughts" from the '30s. What most of us probably think of as Little Shop of Horrors comes from the '80s, however. In 1982 Alan Menken and Howard Ashmen wrote a stage musical based on Corman's black comedy, and then in 1986 Frank Oz directed a film version of their musical. As strange and campy as it is, Oz's version of Little Shop still has quite a few fans to this day, so would it be considered an atrocity for someone to remake it? Maybe not, because, according to THR, the someone who's newly responsible for trying to get a remake of Little Shop together is none other than Internet darling Joseph Gordon-Levitt. That guy's so cute and talented, we can't be mad at him, can we?
Remembering the Muppets: Follow That Bird
Features By Kate Erbland on November 23, 2011 | Be the First To Comment"But I don't want to hunt worms. I want Snuffy to come and visit. And if he can't come and visit, I don't want to be here anymore. I want to go home!" If you asked a million Muppets fans why they love The Muppets, you would likely get a million different answers, but most of those reasons would probably be rooted in the caring world created by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, a world of family and friendship, of acceptance and education. And while Muppet flicks like The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper embody all those traits (and are much more likely to be the feature titles viewers think of when they think "Muppet movie"), my favorite Muppet flick that has always best exemplified all those traits is the very first Sesame Street film – Follow That Bird.
Movie News After Dark: Malcontent Muppeteers, Spielberg Zombies, Doctor Who and Ed Zwick Uncharted
Movie News By Neil Miller on October 21, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's all about movies, and television, and comics, and literature, and photos of hot women. Such as Miss Piggy, yo. We begin tonight with perhaps the most interesting twist of the fall movie season. In recent interviews, the likes of Frank Oz and other original puppeteers and writers from the Jim Henson school are speaking out about how The Muppets might not respect the characters they helped create. "I wasn't happy with the script," Oz told Metro. "I don't think they respected the characters. But I don't want to go on about it like a sourpuss and hurt the movie."

I'm completely surprised by how much I love this product. I've never had much luck in the past with mineral oil based products. I've tried regular vaseline, and ended up sticky and itchy and dry. But this body oil gel works miracles for my skin! I put it on damp skin right after I shower. It is sticky and thick going on, but it sinks into my skin in less than 5 minutes. It's the only thing I've found that doesn't leave my skin tight and dry after an hour.

I thought I was being smart and reading the reviews before I purchased this stuff. What I didn't do was read 'most helpful' first!! This stuff made me break out into a rash literally on day 3--just like the other reviewer this happened to (how bizarre!) I don't know what ingredient did this to me but it has been damn near a week and my body still itches and I still have a rash from this stuff--mainly on my stomach where I had previously used it. The worst part is I bought 2 large bottles that I can't do anything with but trash. Do a patch test and save your receipt just in case!

I smooth a small amount of this onto wet skin, leave it a minute, then towel off the excess.
Smells beautiful, moisturises amazingly well, leaves a gorgeous sheen on the skin and improved my skin tone imo. It does take a while for your skin to feel dry to the touch, but if that's the cost of very long lasting moisturisation, I don't mind. I haven't noticed this leaving any stains or marks on my clothes, so I don't mind feeling a little slippery for a while.
One thing to watch out for - if you are putting it on your shoulders etc, don't let your hair fall onto it, as it will make it really oily (perhaps this is stating the obvious, but it's a pain to have to rewash your hair...)
The bottle isn't brilliant - it gets quite slippery. It doesn't leak or anything though, so it's fine.
Love it!

I have been using this product every SINGLE day for the last 3 years. I LOVE IT!! I have dark brown skin and with this body oil gel, I recieve a GLOW like no other. Not only that but my skin is soft and smooth and the feel is AMAZING! I always get compliments on my tone and softeness. The only down side I have noticed is that when I apply too much in one spot, I seem to have OIL stains on my clothing (mostly shirts) that does not come out. Definitely be careful with sheer or white or light colored tops, otherwise.. AMAZEBALLS!! :)

This is a great body oil. What first got me hooked is the wonderful scent. It smells like cocoa and coconuts, very warm, refreshing, very summery!
I usuallly prefer oils to regular lotions in the summer, because they leave my skin very shiny and glowy.
I took off one lippy beacuse it can be a little hard to apply, but other than that it's a beautiful product. It leaves your skin soft and beautifully scented, with a gorgeous glow! The price is ok too, as this bottle will definately last me a very looong time, as it it's very concentrated. And as mentioned before, it's better to apply this on wet skin and then pat dry with a towel.

I love this. I'm an obsessive moisturiser, every day after my shower I moisturise without exception. However, I am pretty lazy and waiting to completely dry and then waiting for a lotion to sink in is boring to me. This is why I'm a juge fan of body oils and oil-gels.
Some of the reviews on here say that this product takes a while to sink in but as i use this on directly-out-of-the-shower wet/damp skin, it takes no time at all. Try using it this way; apply this directly out of the shower then grab your towel.
Other good points:
- It smells great, not overpowering.
- Relatively cheap for how much you get. I use it every day and a bottle will last a couple months at least.

This is a superb product that I initially bought on special offer in my regular supermarket. The price varies from over £5 to £2....what is wrong with retailers???
However it is the best oil/gel ever. I love it. I have very dry, fair skin which is also sensitive. This lovely gel/oil lasts all day and after it is rubbed in leaves a beautiful sheen on my normally flaky skin.
Let's hope Vaseline do not improve on this as it is just perfect. Today I also bought the Alos Vera gel/oil as it smells even better but have yet to try it.

This gel smells amazing, soft and sweet, definitely not cloying. But unfortunately the gel is so sticky the bottle is sitting in my bathroom collecting dust.

tell tales
Divulge secrets, as in Don't trust him; he's apt to tell tales. This expression was first recorded about 1350. A variant, tell tales out of school, first recorded in 1530, presumably alluded to schoolchildren gossiping but was soon broadened to revealing secret or private information. Both may be obsolescent.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Spring 2007
HIS 381 • Seminar: Colloquium on Law, History, and the Humanities: Transnational Legal Histories
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
39923 |
Forbath |
Course Description
This will be a genuinely interdisciplinary course, open to second- and third-year law students and to graduate students in the humanities and social sciences. It will be co-taught by Professor William Forbath of the School of Law and Professor Evan Carton of the English Department and the Humanities Institute. The broad organizing rubric of the 2007 colloquium is "Transnational Legal Histories: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Legal History Beyond the National Framework." Substantive themes and topics of inquiry will include: the legal history of empires, the role of law in colonial rule, and the imperial legal legacies of post-colonial eras; the emergence and development of international law and international human rights; and the history of transnational legal contests, conversations and exchanges.
During the semester, six leading scholars will present papers, which will provide the principal texts of the course. Students will spend two weeks with each paper. In the first week, students will meet with Professors Carton and Forbath in a traditional seminar format to discuss the paper and its background. In the second week, the scholar who wrote the paper will be present, and the students will be joined by law, history and other humanities and social science faculty members. Students will thus have the opportunity both to engage in their own critical discussion, and to observe and participate in an interdisciplinary conversation with faculty members. Written coursework will consist of short, critical responses or commentaries on each of the six papers that will be presented. Students also will expand one of these short papers into a longer essay to be submitted at the end of the term. The current line-up of visiting presenters includes: Daniel Hulsebosch, NYU School of Law; Rebecca J. Scott, University of Michigan, Department of History & Law School; Jane R. Burbank and Frederick Cooper, NYU Department of History; Wai Chee Dimock, Yale University Department of English; and A. W. Brian Simpson, University of Michigan Law School.

The Elphinstone senior and junior girls will be seeking provincial glory at respective provincial championships in the coming weeks after qualifying at a pair of tournaments last week.
The senior Cougars didn't drop a set in rolling to their second straight Vancouver and District championship held at Notre Dame in Vancouver Nov. 14 and 15.
Elphi was grouped in a pool with York House and St. Thomas Aquinas, both of whom they beat last Wednesday, which qualified them for provincials.
"I didn't tell the girls that we had qualified after Wednesday because I didn't want to cruise the rest of the way," said head coach Jan Richey. "I wanted them to remain focused and if we win the tournament then we get a higher seed and a better placement for provincials."Elphi played St. Patrick's on Thursday in the semifinal, which Richey said was a tough match.
"St. Pat's is always tough. They are not a big team, but they play big. They always dig out everything and play hard," she said.
Elphi won in two sets, setting up the final against Richmond Christian.
"That was a great match," Richey said. "They have some really big hitters. I think they fed their top girl eight of 10 times in a very tight first set. In the second set, I changed up the match-ups and had some of our big blockers on her and we pretty much shut her down the rest of the way. We played great defence and just did a great job all around."
Richey expects Elphi will be seeded either number one or two with Pacific Academy for the provincials, which start Nov. 29 in Nanaimo.
The team expects a $6,000 price tag to make the trip and is hoping for some financial support from the community.
"These girls have already paid a lot of money all season to travel and play. I'd love for them to get to go and not have to pay anything," said Richey. "This is a big deal. Not many teams from the Coast qualify to get to go to provincials. I'd like the girls to feel they are really being supported by the community."Anyone who would like to donate can do so by contacting the school or School District No. 46, which will issue a tax receipt for any donations of $20 or more.
Junior girls
The junior girls also qualified for provincials, placing second at the Vancouver and District championship at Handsworth Secondary School.
Elphi won their first two matches over teams from Rich-mond and New Westminster, which gave them a berth to the provincials.
In the final, they lost a tough match in a tiebreaker to Moscrop from Burnaby.
"That match was probably the toughest one we've played in two seasons," said coach David Barnum.
"The girls played well, Moscrop just played a bit better."
The first part of this week was spent fine-tuning and getting ready for provincials, which start today (Friday) in Delta.
Twenty-four teams from around the province will compete at the two-day event.
"We've been playing really well. Hopefully it will continue for another few more days," Barnum said.

Bills sign fifth-round pick Richardson
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 23 2014 1:50PM
As is the increasing trend in the National Football League since the onset of the rookie wage scale in 2011, the Buffalo Bills are getting their rookie contracts out of the way sooner rather than later. The Bills announced on Friday afternoon that they've signed fifth-round pick and guard Cyril Richardson to his initial four-year contract.
A 6-foot-5, 343-pound offensive lineman from Baylor, Richardson started in 42 games over his four-year career. At one point in the draft process, he was projected to be a potential Day Two selection but fell to the fifth round during the actual 2014 NFL Draft.
Richardson is the fifth of the Bills' seven-man rookie class to sign their initial deals with the team. He joins third-round linebacker Preston Brown, fourth-round cornerback Ross Cockrell, seventh-round linebacker Randell Johnson and seventh-round offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson as the players to sign.
Only first-round wide receiver Sammy Watkins and second-round offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio have yet to sign their rookie deals with the Bills.

In the $200.00/ night range, we have found that generally vacation rentals are furnished with old, lumpy and uncomfortable rejects and this is the case here. We are probably not unique in being seduced by the location or view and lose sight of the fact that a significant portion of our time will be spent indoors and that relaxation is difficult on soiled and sagging furniture. Thankfully there was a comfortable rocker and an okay wicker chair to sit and read. The interior is newly painted and it is cozy and just the right size for 2 (or 3 maximum) people. The propane fireplace is really efficient but requires monitoring when it gets too hot and then chilly when it's turned off, so on and so on the entire time indoors as there is no thermostat. Upon arriving, the property manager was there readying the place for us and he was very nice and welcoming. He and I both searched unsuccessfully for a coffeemaker which wasn't there so we had 3 mornings of instant coffee- yuck! They ... mehr

I have brought all my tropical hibiscus indoors now. I want to prevent them getting too leggy like they did last winter. Some are actually mostly bare stem with just a tuft of leaves on the end.
If I cut them back when they are done blooming: by how much? Do I cut back even if that means they have no leaves at all? I am afraid that will kill the plant if it has no leaves left to photosynthesize. Or will it resprout new leaves right away? Or prune half the plant at a time, so it has some leaves until the trimmed side has resprouted? Thanks! |

You can trim them back by 1/3 with no problem. If that means there aren't any more leaves, no problem - they'll just be dormant, which is how many people overwinter these plants. Where are you going to be keeping them over the winter? In your house next to a sunny window? If so, they could grow new leaves. In this setting, they could keep blooming. In which case I would trim back half the branches, wait until those grow before trimming the others. That way you'll have blooms for much longer. If it's in you garage, where the temps are cooler, then dormant it is! The care required in these two scenarios are very different. In the dormant state, the plants would only need water about once a month. I have a difficult time with over watering my hibiscus in the winter, so use a water meter. They're inexpensive and have saved the life of many of my plants. Here's a good link with info on overwintering tropical hibiscus in colder climes. Barb |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tropical-Hibiscus
Thanks! They are going to be indoors. They have the sunniest spots in front of several windows. All but two still have a fair number of buds. I will try cutting back the non-bloomers by a third. For the plants with buds, I'll trim down the branches without. |

Sounds great. Enjoy the winter blooms! Mine are all the greenhouse now. We had threat of freezing temps last night, so in they went. Barb |

This hotel is perfectly situated for all that Chicago has to offer. Just a block away from Michigan Avenue and The John Hancock Building, and close to restaurants, museums, and shopping. It's well-kept and upscale. Staff is friendly. Rooftop bar is classy.
Great location! Walking distance to tons of shopping and fabulous restaurants!
Lobby is a bit small.
Location ,stuff ,comfort bed
No breakfast When we ordered food it was bad
I love the location and the convenience of the water tower,lake front,and other sites that Chicago has to offer.
I didn't like the small elevator's and I didn't like that you don't have bathtubs only showers if it wasn't for that it would have been a exellent pick.
All services are handled via text, very convenient!
very friendly staff big room nice kitchen FREE WiFi
one window did not fully close at it's very windy in Chicago -> room 402 :-)
Great hotel, great location. Would definitely stay again!
Room size, room size, room size! Great bed. Great location especially for MCA
Shower didn't have a door so water splashed into bathroom a little
Room size and greatest TV in a room I have ever had. The rooftop bar is great space.
Ridiculous parking charges, and crazy elevator system. Only one elevator goes to the bar.
Loved the location and ambience. This was second stay w/ Raffaello. I would recommend hotel to other travellers, excellent staff.
Room and bath didn't seem as large as when we stayed for Thanksgiving 2013. Don't like having to pay for WiFi.
Location, Location , Location
Only two small, slow elevators, long wait times in morning and evening
Excellent Location: 2 min to John Hancock tower. Within 10 mints you can walk to Macy's, Nordstorm, Bloomingdales and chain shops. Also a cheezecake factory is in 2 mins walk which convinient for you to have a lunch or dinner.
Air Conditionor is a little noisy.
The hotel is just walking distance away to most of the Chicago city attractions. If walking is not your thing, several modes of transportation options exist!
Try to avoid a room near the elevator if noise disturbs your resting. People are usually talking while leaving or returning.
Great stay, cheaper than many other options. Location location location, shopping on the door step easy access to beach and city. Public transport very near
Small public areas
Unfortunately I was given a beautiful room, but a room that wasn't ready to receive a guest (second floor, last room of the corridor): the iPhone dock was broken, the sink was broken (no water and actually broken), the bathroom drain didn't drain, the door lock broke as soon as I got into the room... I was told some manager would get in touch, something that didn't happen. Anyways, the place is beautiful and full of character, but I was chosen (and I was too tired to complain, and it was just for a night). Ow, and the wi-fi was actually good and for free.
My last night a roach was walking around on the floor.
The hotel is in a very good location and the price is comparable to other hotels in the same area. The room was very spacious and clean, it had a fridge and a microwave.
The room was cold, the ventilation system extremely noisy and ineffective. The hotel has no buffet breakfast, which, given the price, is ridiculous. Despite the room being extremely spacious (they upgraded me to the suite) it was cold and its interiors old, except perhaps for the bathroom. About the cold problem: I complained with the reception first, and asked for extra blankets to sleep comfortably. They sent someone to check the heating, and reported that one window was not properly closed and hidden behind the curtains. The night after the room was still cold, so I reported again. They told me that the room is on a corner and therefore is harder to heat up, as if that was a reason for the heating not working properly. The problem was never fixed and the room temperature still wouldn't go up to a comfortable temperature even with the heat working at full speed, which by itself was extremely annoying as the noise would make it hard to sleep.
Excellent location very near to shops. Getting around was easy on both buses and trains and also very cheap. Room and bathroom facilities excellent. Had a problem with the toilet and reported it. It was rectified within fifteen minutes. Very helpful staff. I would most definitely stay here again and recommend it.
A kettle in the room to make tea.
Room set up decor Staff attention Location Drumbar
I checked in telling them it was my husbands birthday and Paul at the front desk was so nice and helpful he asked if he could buy us a drink on the 18th floor at the Drum bar. I thought that was very nice touch and a great way to start our weekend!
Bathroom was rather small
Easy to get around from hotel. Staff helpful and informative.Very impressed with the city. Would definitely come again, maybe when not so cold.
Could have a choice of warm drinks in room other than coffee and milk pots rather than creamers.
Bathroom tile could use update. Stool in room was in horrible shape! Ripped on all sides. Other furniture was fine.
Spacious rooms, great big comfortable beds and duvets, location is great. Great cocktailbar on top floor!
Somewhat slow wi-fi, housekeeping could be more thorough, doughnuts in the lobby is not a sufficient breakfast offer- you have to go across the street to Hilton or order room service... In fact lobby smells of fried foods.
