It must be karmic payback for Elmore Leonard for all the awful adaptations of his work. With "Get Shorty", "Jackie Brown", and now, "Out of Sight", he's had three in a row and George Clooney has finally made a GOOD movie. Jack Foley (Clooney) kicks off the film by throwing off the tie of his suit and robbing the first bank he sees. Afterwards, his car won't start and he's carted off to prison for what would be the last time. Escaping, he and his partner Buddy (Ving Rhames) run into U.S. Marshall Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez). She's thrown into the trunk with Jack until they can switch cars. The two spark and they can't stop thinking about each other. Through flashbacks, we find out how Jack, who's robbed over 200 banks, ended up where he is and where he's going (Detroit, in a scheme concocted by Steve Zahn doing his best Crispin Glover imitation).
Who's the man to pull this off? Our pal, director Steven Soderbergh. Apparently, "Schizopolis" was just the mental roughage to unblock his talent. Having a pair of good looking stars that have chemistry helps, too. There's some gratuitous Sam Jackson and Michæl Keaton reprising his role, Ray Nicolette, asshole Fed, from Jackie Brown.

Castelpetroso, Province of Isernia, Molise, Italy
The small centre rises in a strategic position, on a hill exactly on the border between Isernia and Bojano.
Altitude: 872 m a.s.l -- Territory: mountainous -- Population: ca. 1600 inhabitants -- Zip/postal code: 86090 -- Phone Area Code: 0865 -- Patron Saint: Madonna dell'Addolorata
The area was inhabited well before the conquest of the Lombards, who were the first to realize. Like Castelmauro, the borough was surrounded by high, mighty walls where only three doors opened. In 1860, part of Garibaldi's army during retreat had to fight against the population of the area in order to reach Bojano.
What to see
- Sanctuary of the Vergine Addolorata. In Neo-gothic style, project by architect Gualandi, was built between 1890 and 1905. Inside paintings by the Molisan artist Amedeo Trivisonno.
- Feast of the Madonna Addolorata: March 22 and last Sunday of September.

What's the best champ to solo top with, elo hell, duo q? Seeing as my good old tryndamere (yes hes a noob champ but carries nicely top) is always banned.... who else can get kills, a bit tanky, and pro solo top which caan carrryyy???
I need help guys, I can't solo top trynda anymore and carry games.... hes instant ban.. im thinknig of singed or garen? (these are noob champs who look good for carrying atm)
Netsu ga arimasu
The best solo top for so called 'elo hell' is... champion you CAN play (in other words champion that you are GOOD with)
There are many. From the top of my head: Udyr, GP, Lee, Irelia, Garen, Singed, Rumble, Galio, Maokai, Jax, Nasus, Malphite, Nidalee, Renekton, Skarner, Yorick for example. As long as you know the champ and all his matchups you'll be fine.
what venom said, the thing is climbing ELO with a solo top is hard best thing to climb is AP mid kassadin why? you can destroy the enemy mid and roam, since you are in elo hell because either top or bot is failing well yeah kass can use pressure on those 2 lanes solotop is more of a farm fest, as its far away from where the action is happening, dragon and stuff btu yeah all the champs listed by venom can get you out if you work hard
There is no "best" solo top. Just try to counterpick enemys solo top (the one you think may be solo). and try to NOT push top lane, if your lane is pushed, just go recall instead.
irelia, olaf, gp, riven, talon, and a bunch of more...
Jeg flaekker alt
Riven wins
End Credit
IMo, dont do solotop, too many retard around the field for it to work, you may win ur lane but all ur team is like 0/4 cus they suck. Im stuck in elo hell. I can solotop talon and go 19/5 but still lose cus i cant carry vs (and this was the enemy team scores) 20/3 8/1 9/5 16/8 2/6/22 Its rediculus. SoloQ isnt about skill, its about luck. who has the most retards loses Do what I did and play jungler, so far I've moved about 50 elo from carring teams as noc/olaf etc
irelia and yorick for example

No. Grants are awarded only to 501 (c) 3 organizations.
No grant will be awarded specifically for an organization's operating budget. No grant monies awarded shall be used for overhead.
Meetings with the Foundation staff are by invitation only.
Please email us at: email@example.com.
No, the Foundation provides no grants to individuals. Grants are provided to medical schools, research institutions, and other 501(c)(3) organizations to support scientists' research.
No, the Foundation only funds 501(c)(3) organizations.
No. The Clinical Neuroscience Research program focuses on patient research. The David Mahoney Neuroimaging program focuses on patient-oriented studies (research with patients or patient tissues). Research that does not involve patients or patient tissues is supported only when the investigation is directly applicable to human health and functioning but is not yet feasible in humans.
Please visit the pages for each program and read the descriptions. For additional guidance, please view the descriptions of studies funded in each program.
It depends on the program. The David Mahoney Neuroimaging program looks for outstanding investigators who are early in their research careers. The Clinical Neuroscience Research program invites junior and senior level investigators.
Only those invited by the foundation are allowed to apply for invitation-only neuroscience grants, through the Clinical Neuroscience Research Program. Please see the description of that program.
It depends on the program. The David Mahoney Neuroimaging program issues a Request for Proposals (RFP) with a specific deadline. Preliminary proposals for the Clinical Neuroscience Research program may be submitted at any time. Please see the program pages for each program's process and deadlines.
All U.S. Medical Schools receive invitations to submit applications. The RFPs are sent to the deans of those schools, and for distribution to relevant departments in the school. Some institutions distribute the RFP internally or post it on their Web site; it varies from school to school. Select research institutions are also invited by a letter to the institutions president. If you are unsure, please have your sponsored research officer contact:
All proposals received for the David Mahoney Neuroimaging program must be submitted with the endorsement of the dean of a U.S. medical school, or the president of a research institution that receives a letter of invitation from the Foundation. This endorsement ensures that no more than one application is submitted per institution. You must go through your institution's selection process. If your institution is not a U.S. medical school or a specifically invited research institution, you are not eligible to apply.
Typically, studies are funded for up to three years.
Research grants typically range from $100,000 to up to $300,000 per institution, depending upon the program. Please see each program page for specific information.
Foundation funding covers only direct costs and cannot be used to cover indirect expenses. However, up to ten percent of grant funds may be used to purchase equipment needed for the study.
The Clinical Neuroscience Research program accepts preliminary proposals from clinical researchers at international institutions. The Neuroimaging program does not accept applications from institutions outside the United States.
Written feedback provided will indicate whether you are invited to reapply. Refer to the correspondence you received; encouragements to resubmit will be clearly indicated.
Rarely, and only by invitation.
Full proposals under the Clinical Neuroscience Research program are considered on an "invite-only basis". Foundation consultants will review preliminary proposals (up to two-page project description with an attached NIH-style abbreviated CV) from investigators who wish to be considered to receive an invitation to submit a full proposal.
Yes, support for the non-U.S. collaborator would be provided under a subcontract from the PI's institution.
On Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroscience Research grants, NIH scientists can be collaborators (co-PIs or co-investigators) on grant applications submitted by a PI from U.S. medical schools or free-standing research institutes. The grant is awarded to the PI's institution, not the NIH. The NIH receives a subcontract from the PI's institution.
You may apply. You have one RO1, which makes you a "newly independent" researcher.
Applicants in that situation can apply but should note in a cover letter that they have just received a second RO1.
You are eligible to apply.
Yes, you may.
Dana rarely provides more than one Neuroimaging grant to an investigator. The Foundation anticipates that an Neuroimaging grantee will be positioned to compete for other sources of funding following a Dana grant. You and your institution should consider this situation in deciding whether to compete for a second Dana grant, even though technically you are eligible to compete if your prior grant has ended or will end before the new grant is to be awarded.
The Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroscience Research programs focus on research in humans (including human tissues). If research is directly related to human health, and not yet feasible to be undertaken in humans but is anticipated to be ready for human studies following the grant period, the study could be considered. The Foundation's guidelines are as follows:
"Applications for animal model studies of brain conditions or injuries will be considered only if they relate directly to the human but cannot yet feasibly be undertaken in humans, and are anticipated to be translated into the human following the three-year grant period. Such studies that are not undertaken in humans but directly relate to the human include research on: 1) normal brain anatomy and physiology in the animal model that can help to better understand the roles of cells and networks in specific cognitive functions and how these are altered by disease and injury; and 2) animal models of human diseases, either through insertion of human genes or through naturally occurring or induced disease states, that are directly related to the human condition. Specific criteria for these types of studies are listed in the section on Eligibility."
No, post-docs are not eligible.
Yes, those in the first few years of their associate professorship are eligible to apply for a Neuroimaging grant.
For Clinical Neuroscience Research, associate professors are eligible to apply no matter how far along in their associate professor role they may be.
You are eligible to apply for a Neuroimaging grant only if your proposal represents a new research direction for you. The award would be limited to $100,000.
You are eligible to apply for a Clinical Neuroscience Research grant.
If you have two RO1's and this is a new research direction, you are eligible to apply for a Neuroimaging grant, but you would need to demonstrate that this is a new research direction, and any award would be limited to $100,000. You and your institution should note that priority is given to assisting new career investigators.
The Neuroimaging program is designed to support early promising career investigators. Therefore, support is focused on faculty researchers who have demonstrated the potential for independent research careers who are at the assistant professor level, or in the first few years of their associate professor appointments. Post-doctoral fellows are not eligible to apply. Applications from junior investigators that are an extension of the work of a senior mentor, particularly if from the same institution, are discouraged.
For Neuroimaging grants, no, you would not be able to apply until the first grant is completed. For Clinical Neuroscience Research, yes, you could apply for a second grant prior to the completion of the first grant.
Yes, with a description of their role. If your application is selected to be developed into a full proposal, you can request financial support for a subcontract in the full budget proposal.
Emphasis in the David Mahoney Neuroimaging program is on junior-level faculty who are early in their research careers (investigators at the assistant professor level and those who are in the first few years of their associate professor appointments). Applicants must have faculty appointments. Post-doctoral fellows are only eligible to apply if they will have a junior faculty appointment by the time grant funding would begin. If so, they should provide evidence of the impending appointment.
Yes. But because grants are made to institutions and not to individuals, applicants in institutions without tenure track systems should describe their appointments and their institution's commitment to them during the period of the proposed grant. This applies to both Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroscience Research program applicants.

Bedding & Bath
Signature Flannel Cases
Great quality, but Queen flat is too wide
Gave a Queen set to my mother-in-law for Christmas. Nice quality and feel. Very thick. The Queen flat sheet is as wide as King (102") so the sheet fell to the floor on both sides of the bed. Now I have to cut off one side. But first I have to wash it since it shrinks 7". Excess lint on a first washing means I have to wash and dry at the laundromat. Aaarrgh.
February 11, 2015
Best flannel sheets ever
I cannot say enough about these sheets! I was hesitant to purchase them due to the price, but they are well worth it. They are the softest flannel sheets I have ever had, and they wash beautifully.
February 11, 2015
Warm but a tight fit
I bought Garnet Hill flannel sheets many years ago. They were generously sized, and we used them a long time, until a bigger bed meant that sheets needed to be repurposed as picnic blankets and pillow fort material. I finally got a new set, and as much as I like the thickness and warmth, the depth is a little skimpy. The king sized fitted sheets are supposed to fit beds up to 15", but with the sheets on, my bed is 13" deep, and the bottoms will not stay tucked in. I'll keep them, because sleeping in them is luxurious, but the downside of their quality and longevity is that I'll be playing tug of war with them for a long, long time. I'm somewhat disappointed that these don't cover as well as the lower priced sheets they're replacing.
February 4, 2015
Soft and soothing
These are the most exquisite sheets for softness, weight, and warmth. I have an original GH set from almost 20 years ago which I just gave to my daughter, they are still lovely. I have ordered these through the years and they have never disappointed. these particular sheets are such lovely colors as well. Just ordered more today. My only problem is my dogs refuse to stay off the bed.
January 27, 2015
Worth Every Penny
Slipping into these German made flannel sheets on a cold night is like slipping into a warm cotton ball. We love them. One night in them and I ordered another set the next morning.
I've washed them a few times now and the do not pill, like cheaper flannel sheets do and get even softer.
I have Calif. King, and the sheets are very generously sized, easily fitting over our huge mattress. Deep pockets, as advertised too.
My husband said it's hard to get out of bed in the morning since we bought these sheets. I agree.
These sheets are so well made, they will last a long long time.
Worth every penny.
January 27, 2015
These by far are the best flannel sheets I have ever had. They wash and dry beautifully. No pilling. So comfortable to sleep on. I use them on all the beds in my house.

Smoothie Attack! Snapchat Hack Sends People Smoothie Photos
Are you familiar with Snapchat? The app allows users to send each other images that will automatically delete, but thanks to a new hack, people are receiving some, well, fruity new images. According to Grub Street, Snapchat users have been receiving a lot of images over the past couple of days of smoothies. The appealing frozen drink images lead to a site called Snapfroot.com, which apparently then redirects to an AllRecipes.com recipe for a banana, berry, and yogurt smoothie. It looks like the problem can largely be fixed with a simple password swap, and for now there doesn't seem to be any information about who is sending out the smoothie attacks. "It's mostly cases where someone has your email address and password and gets in on the first try. We're not seeing any evidence of brute-force tactics," stated a spokesperson for Snapchat.
Hacked on snapchat by a...smoothie company???? ps thanks @sydneysuth for the screenshot pic.twitter.com/LgmHNlIRJo

African American history
The acquisition of the papers of W.E.B. Du Bois in 1972 established SCUA as a center for research in African American history. In subsequent years, the University of Massachusetts has supported the publication of three volumes of Dr. Du Bois' correspondence and SCUA has served as a resource for many dozens of scholarly articles and books on Du Bois and his legacy. SCUA has also made efforts to build around the Du Bois collection, adding other important printed and manuscript materials both in African American history and in the history of efforts to promote social change.
Beyond Du Bois, significant collections in African American history include the papers of the abolitionist Hudson Family of Northampton, the expatriate playwright Gordon Heath, the sociologist, educator, and former president of Lincoln University, Horace Mann Bond.
Each February, in commemoration of Dr. Du Bois's birthday, SCUA and the Du Bois Department of Afro-Americans Studies at UMass co-sponsor a colloquium on Du Bois and his legacy. Our lecturers have included distinguished scholars such as Herbert Aptheker, Randolph Bromery, Clayborne Carson, and David Levering Lewis.

Brookfield (Mass.) Records, 1736-1795.
Call no.: MS 595
Settled in 1660 and incorporated in 1718, the town of Brookfield (Worcester County) straddles the Boston Post Road, one of the major arteries during the colonial period connecting Boston with the towns of the Connecticut River Valley and New York.
This assemblage of documents from the town of Brookfield consists primarily of warrants for town meetings, many with agendas, issued through the local constable. Concentrated in the 1770s, these warrants provide relatively detailed information on matters of local importance, including town finances, tax assessments, contributions to the poor house, roadways, and property disputes. During the Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary years, however, issues of interest to the town were often wrapped up in regional or national political issues. Town freeholders, for example, were called to consider requests to "come into any Vote or Resolve Respecting the East India Company Tea," the encouragement of manufacture of firearms, smallpox inoculation, and pay for the town's Minute Men.

Enfield (Mass.)
Enfield (Mass.) Collection, 1800-1939.
Call no.: MS 010
Situated at the confluence of the east and west branches of the Swift River in western Massachusetts, Enfield was the largest and southernmost of the four towns inundated in 1939 to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Incorporated as a town in 1816, Enfield was relatively prosperous in the nineteenth century on an economy based on agriculture and small-scale manufacturing, reaching a population of just over 1,000 by 1837. After thirty years of seeking a suitably large and reliable water supply for Boston, the state designated the Swift River Valley as the site for a new reservoir and with its population relocated, Enfield was officially disincorporated on April 28, 1938.
The records of the town of Enfield, Mass., document nearly the entire history of the largest of four towns inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. The core of the collection consists of records of town meetings and of the activities of the town Selectmen, 1804-1938, but there are substantial records for the Enfield Congregational Church. The School Committee, Overseers of the Poor, the town Library Association, and groups such as the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Bethel Masonic Lodge.

Department history
In 1931, nearly half a century after Librarian Henry Hill Goodell first authorized the permanent retention of the official records of Massachusetts Agricultural College, the Library established a College History Collection. Documenting the activities of the administration and faculty and the life of its students, this collection grew steadily, until in 1953, the Library dedicated a room named in honor of Dean William L. Machmer to serve as the first true home of the University Archives.
The timing of Goodell's proposal to preserve the College archives coincided roughly with the Library's first efforts to assemble a collection of rare books to support its educational mission. Although the campus had no separate library building until 1885, the College accepted several significant gifts of books, beginning as early as 1868, when the apiarist and state Adjutant General Henry K. Oliver donated twenty scarce volumes on bee culture, followed by other donations of important works in agriculture, history, and science. By the time the library published its first catalogue in 1875, rare books were a small, but distinctive part of the collections. Among the Library's earliest acquisitions were the first London edition of William Bartram's Travels Through North and South Carolina (1792), François Augier de Marigny's The History of the Arabians (London, 1758), and two early bee manuals by John Keys, The Practical Bee-Master (London, 1780) and The Antient Bee-Master's Farewell (London, 1796) — both courtesy of Oliver. All remain part of the collections today.
From its initial focus on agriculture, horticulture, and the natural sciences, the Library soon extended its collections to encompass the history and culture of New England. With the acquisition of the records of the Valley Peace Center and the papers of ethnographer Jozef Obrebski in 1973, the Library began to acquire collections of personal papers and organizational records of historical significance. The rare book and manuscript collections were combined administratively with the University Archives in the early 1990s to form the current Department of Special Collections and University Archives. Today, SCUA oversees a growing research collection of primary materials that includes rare books and manuscripts, historic maps, photographs, prints, and the official records of the campus at UMass Amherst.

To Love, Honor, and Obey? Stories of Italian Renaissance Marriage Chests
July 3, 2010 - July 3, 2011
In Renaissance Italy, betrothal and marriage were celebrated with a variety of events as well as commemorative works of art. Often elaborate, these objects marked the joining of a couple while symbolizing wealth and demonstrating alliances between powerful families. Particularly significant were cassoni, large storage chests produced in pairs and typically used to hold the bride's dowry. In mid-fifteenth-century Florence, these chests were sometimes paraded through the city in wedding processions. As part of the domestic interior, the chests were designed to complement the other furnishings in the new couple's bedchamber.
View more objects in the exhibition >>
Cassoni in museum collections typically consist of painted panels from chests that were dismantled long ago. This exhibition includes two complete chests and related painted panels in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, all produced in Tuscany in the mid- to late-fifteenth century. The display considers the contexts for which marriage chests were made and used, techniques employed by craftsmen in producing them, and the sources and meanings of the decoration. Usually representing moral exemplars intended for the education of the married couple—particularly the wife—the tales and images that decorate cassoni provide insight into Renaissance Italian art, life, and society.

Mass. company to build solar array in Vt. townFebruary 02,2013
CHARLOTTE - A Massachusetts company has received approval to build a solar array on a field in the Vermont town of Charlotte.
The Vermont Public Service Board recently approved the request by Charlotte Solar.
The Burlington Free Press reports (http://bfpne.ws/11cIBYk) the project, which was fought by neighbors, will occupy about 12.6 acres with 26 rows of solar panels. The panels will be about 10 feet high.
Bill Ellis, an attorney representing the neighbors, indicated then that it seemed the project was "predestined to be approved from the get-go."
Public Service Board Hearing Officer Jake Marren found that the project was consistent with the town plan.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont House has advanced a wide-ranging bill that pushes utilities other than...

The 7 Most Disturbing (yet kind of cool) Japanese Inventions
January 28, 2010 | 2 Comments » | Topics: Uncategorized
Dubbed the "Mother of Invention" by many, the Land of the Rising Sun has forever been a hotbed of technology, arts and science; without Japan, we wouldn't have had some of our everyday dude essentials: instant Ramen, CDs, the Sony Walkman (see: the ability to rock out to Bat Out of Hell ANY time, ANY place), digital cameras, drunk karaoke or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. But the Japanese also win the prize for being some seriously sick puppies, and not just for their used panties vending machinesand penchant for wayward tentacles.
While many other reports on inventions hailing from Japan have cited the weird, wacky and pointless (silly inventions termed chindogu, meaning "useless ideas"), I decided to take it a step further.

Its beef is 100% grass-fed on a ranch in Montana, which means that it has no antibiotics or hormones and is higher in omega-3 fatty acids than beef from cattle finished on grain. The claim that a grass-fed steak doesn't hit the spot quite like a grain-finished, heavily marbled cut is only partially true: The meat is leaner, so you should expect a lighter, cleaner taste and think of it as another grade of animal rather than a lesser steak experience. Last year, La Cense also next-leveled Omaha Steaks with a burger truck in NYC -- the coup de grace for the Midwest competitor's precooked Italian-style meatballs, which were still sitting frozen in your mailbox at lunchtime.

Lindsay Lohan has a brand new $93,000 problem — because the federal government claims the actress never paid her 2009 income tax … and now Uncle Sam is finally out to collect.
According to official documents filed in Los Angeles, the Internal Revenue Service has obtained a lien against Lohan for $93,701.57 for failure to pay her federal income tax.
2009 wasn"t a very lucrative year for Lohan … she only released one crappy made-for-TV movie, coupled with a few minor TV appearances.
Now, if Lohan refuses to pay the debt … the government can go after anything that belongs to her … including homes, cars and bank accounts … assuming she has any of those things.
We called Lohan for comment — so far, no response.

2005 Outstanding Adviser Award Winners
Cora Allen |
Cora Allen, counselor in the Student Development Program in University College. She
has been advising UT students since
1972. She has served on several University committees over the years and was honored
with one of the Outstanding Women Awards in
1996. Allen is an alumna of UT, receiving an associate degree in social services technology
in 1972. "I have known Mrs. Allen for over 30 years, and she is one truly remarkable woman. Her knowledge of University policies and procedures is phenomenal," wrote one nominator. "Students love her. She is willing to help anyone who needs it. I have seen her give students money, food, clothing, transportation to class and even home if necessary." Another wrote, "Mrs. Allen is dedicated to helping students in every way, shape and form. She loves her job and does everything she can to make students succeed." "I strongly believe in advising the whole student, both academically and on a personal level," Allen said. "I believe that an adviser should be honest, trustworthy, nonjudgmental, knowledgeable and open-minded. I love my job and I love making a difference in my students' lives by showing them that someone cares about them." |
Dr. Alice Skeens |
Alice Skeens, associate professor of psychology. She started teaching at UT as an
instructor in 1963 in the former Community and
Technical College and four years later moved to the College of Arts and Sciences,
where she was an assistant professor and
undergraduate adviser. In 1982, she was promoted to associate professor. Skeens served
as assistant to the president from 1987 to
1997, and then returned to full-time teaching. "Dr. Skeens is always willing to put the student first," wrote one nominator. "She helped me a great deal throughout my four years at UT. She is an extremely busy individual; she is on several committees, but she always took time to answer my questions." "I believe that advising is much more than scheduling and making sure students stay on track for graduation," Skeens said. "I believe it involves caring for students, taking time to listen to their problems, suggesting possible solutions, calling the appropriate person for them and arranging an appointment if you refer them, discussing career goals and alternatives, and recommending them for graduate school or employment. My greatest rewards are thank-you notes from students, seeing my students succeed in their chosen careers, and seeing them happy." |

We're expecting to finish the framing this week, so I figured this might be an appropriate time to reflect on what we encountered along the way. I'm obviously in no position to question what our structural engineer has outlined, but each of the trades has expressed the opinion that our home is over-engineered. I don't know if it really matters at this point (and I certainly can't argue with the craftsmanship), but there's obviously a fine line between quality-construction and over-construction.

Whoa! The divorce and custody war is heating up. Tom is "bitter" that Katie is making it increasingly difficult for him to talk to Suri according to a new report, and if she won't let him see her… then watch out!
Katie Holmes – you've been warned. Tom Cruise may have been blindsided by you filing for divorce but now he's starting to get angry, according to TMZ.com.
Things are "really bitter now" between Tom and Katie. He feels betrayed by her and thinks she's using Suri as a weapon, sources have told the site.
Furthermore, Tom and Katie have cut off all contact with each other and Tom apparently feels that Katie is making it difficult for him to talk to Suri.
"His people are negotiating/bickering with Katie's people over when and how Tom can talk to Suri. And though he does end up talking with her at least once a day, all of this isn't making Tom very happy," according to TMZ.'s report.
We bet! We can definitely understand why any father would be upset if his estranged wife was making it difficult for him to talk to his child. Katie – is that really necessary? We know you face a huge and tough battle in court to get sole custody of Suri, here in NYC , but antagonizing Tom unnecessarily may not be the best plan.
Save your big guns for making sure you get sole custody of Suri and keeping her out of Scientology school. Don't sweat the small stuff – like phone calls!
What do you think Hollywoodlifers? Should Katie make it hard for Tom to talk on the phone to Suri?

With controlling men such as Tom Cruise, this was the best strategy for Katie Holmes to undertake. He would have tried to bulldoze his way back in and manipulate the situation. If you've ever been through a divorce, the first months entail a wrath of raw emotions and no one is thinking straight so don't expect miracles at this stage of the game. She is doing what she needs to do now.

It's so many lunatics out here. Tom has been a great dad to Suri and if this man has done nothing wrong in the area of sexually, physically, verbally, or mentally abusing his child then Katie do not have any rights to stop this man from communicating with his daughter. In addition, Katie knew when she qot pregnant purposely so Tom would marry her that he was deeply devoted to Scienctology. She did not wake up one night and realize this. Suri is six years old nutty people need to wake up. Plus none of you personally know Tom Cruise nor the relationship between him and Katie. If you have been seriously reading from day one the articles on Katie you would understand their is something more deeply distrubing going on here before people start jumping to stupid conclusions. Katie marbles are kind of loose.

So i guess you know katie personally to say her marbles are loose how would you know and i guess you know for a fact that she got pregnant just to trap him! i do belive this is the same man who divorced a women just because they were about to be married 10yrs just to get out of paying her what does that say about him?

If she was using Suri as a weapon, she'd be ASKING for something in return. SHE'S NOT.
I am proud of her, because it takes guts to walk away from a man that powerful and a group so powerful that people 'disappear'.
I'm afraid for both her and Suri.. Scientology is a cult SO BAD that France BANNED IT, and they don't ban religions. They're very open country.
Everybody send your prayers out for Katie, it will help!! Prayer works.

There are those of us whose homes are literally overrun by clutter. We are in desperate need of a clean out! However, there are also those of us who are not full blown hoarders, but still have a good degree of items taking up space and causing mental anguish. Our mess is enough that we cannot do it ourselves, but not enough that we need an entire fleet of dumpsters. The problem with this scenario is that most NY dumpster rental services charge you by the size of the dumpster you need.
So if you have too much stuff for the smallest model, but not nearly enough debris removal needs for the next size dumpster, you still have to pay the flat fee for the larger dumpster. This is not the case with Junk In My Trunk, and it is only one of the ways we have molded our pricing charts to meet your needs.
We charge you by how much room your debris takes up, not the size of the truck we send. This means that even if we send the largest dumpster in our company and you only use half of the available space, you are only charged for the space you used. We understand that sometimes we overestimate how much space our clutter will take up. Or, at the last minute, we decide we simply cannot part with a few of the larger items. We understand and have adapted our price scales to reflect that.
Check out our dumpster sizes today. Take a guess as to which you'll need and then give us a call.
