Deborah L. "Debbie" Halvorson (born March 1, 1958) is the former U.S. Representative for Illinois's 11th congressional district, serving from 2009 until 2011. Previously, she served in the Illinois Senate from 1997 through 2009. She is a member of the Democratic Party. In September 2011, she filed to run in the newly redistricted 2nd congressional district but was defeated in the Democratic primary by the incumbent, Jesse Jackson, Jr.[1]
Early life, education, and early career[edit]
Halvorson grew up in Steger, Illinois and graduated from Bloom High School. She and her husband Jim Bush live in Crete and have four children and four grandchildren.[2] She worked 13 years as a cosmetics saleswoman for Mary Kay before entering public service.[3] She has degrees from Robert Morris College, Prairie State College and Governors State University (Bachelor of Arts and Master's in Communication). She became a sales representative, Crete Township Clerk, and an educator at the Governors State University.[4]
Illinois Senate (1997-2009)[edit]
Halvorson first ran for the Illinois State Senate in November 1996, defeating incumbent Republican State Senator Aldo DeAngelis 56%-44% in Illinois' 40th Senate District.[5][6] In 1998, she won re-election to a second term defeating State Representative Flora Ciarlo 66%-34%.[7] In 2002, she won re-election to a third term unopposed.[8] In 2006, she won re-election to a fourth term with 70% of the vote.[9]
In 2005, Halvorson became the first female Majority Leader of the Illinois State Senate.
After being diagnosed as a high risk for cervical cancer due to HPV, Halvorson gained special notoriety and controversy for her bid to create a program broaden access to HPV testing and vaccination.[10] She did this to help others so that they wouldn't have to go through the pain and struggle of cervical cancer if it was possible to eradicate.
Halvorson had a public dispute with Jesse Jackson, Jr., over the proposed Peotone airport, which led Jackson to attempt to tie Halvorson to Tony Rezko. The airport has never been in Jackson's district.[11][12]
Following Halvorson's election to the House, there was an ongoing process, narrowed to three possible candidates, for Halvorson's successor in the Illinois Senate; she was eventually replaced by Toi Hutchinson. Just before Halvorson was set to officially resign from her seat, Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested. Halvorson said, "As frustrated and disappointed as I was, I was not surprised."[13] She also called for Blagojevich to resign.[14]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Senate Committee of the Whole[15]
- Senate Committee on Agriculture & Conservation
- Senate Committee on Transportation
- Senate Subcommittee on Airports (Chairperson)
- Senate Subcommittee on Tollways (Chairperson)
- Subcommittee on Railroad Safety
- Senate Taskforce on Alcoholic Beverages[16]
U.S. House of Representatives (2009-2011)[edit]
- 2008
In September 2007, incumbent Republican U.S. Congressman Jerry Weller announced that he would not seek another term, citing the need to spend more time with his family. Halvorson won the open seat defeating Republican Marty Ozinga with 58% of the vote.
- 2010
Halvorson was defeated by Republican Adam Kinzinger 58%-42%.
- 2012
In September 2011, Halvorson filed a candidacy with the FEC to run in the newly redistricted Illinois's 2nd congressional district, against incumbent Democrat Jesse Jackson, Jr.. "He (Jackson) lives in D.C. He doesn't come home on weekends. His kids go to school in D.C."[17] She also said that "They should be fearing me becoming a congresswoman. I represent the people who live in the (current) 11th district. He's just nervous that I'm going to become a congresswoman because then his control is over."[18] The newly drawn district is just 54% African American.[19] Jackson defeated her 71%-29%.
- 2013
On November 21st, 2012 Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned from office.[20] Halvorson announced her candidacy on November 26th [21] but lost the primary election on February 26, 2013. [22]
On October 2, 2007, Halvorson announced her decision to run for Illinois's 11th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives, after current incumbent Jerry Weller announced in September that he would not be running for re-election. EMILY's List endorsed Halvorson in November. In February 2008, Republican nominee, New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann, withdrew from the race, citing other obligations.[23] He was replaced by Marty Ozinga, whom Halvorson easily defeated in the general election.
Halvorson was appointed to the powerful Steering and Policy Committee as well as a member of Veterans, Small Business and Agriculture. One of her true loves is Economic Development and Transportation. During her time in office she said that one of her main focuses were constituent services.[24] She has agreed with the 2009 Economic Stimulus Act, Cap and Trade of Emissions, and the Federal Health Care Bill.

I think it's very pretty! My daughter-in-law picked it out...I'm quite sure she will think it's very pretty also!
Francine, Evans, GA – July 2013
My daughter-in-law loved it!
Elizabeth L, Hampton, VA – June 2013
The product is terrific and the workmanship of the product seems to be very good. The gem stones are quite small, which of course is part of the price equation. I would have paid more for larger gem stones. The combined bracelet and three charms I ordered were well presented in the box and didn't need any adjustments.

Go for bold
PUBLISHED: 22 Feb 2013 00:05:27 | UPDATED: 25 Feb 2013 05:14:18PUBLISHED: 22 Feb 2013 PRINT EDITION: 22 Feb 2013Anna McCooe
Do we really need a new black? In the first few months of each year, trend forecasters and marketers go into overdrive to predict the colours that will excite consumers into the redecorating mood. Some of these design prophecies are self-fulfilling; trends are forecasted, manufacturers and buyers listen and all manner of products in those colourways hit the shelves before the year is out (and then migrate to the sales bin in January). Other trends encapsulate the spirit of their time and become the visual calling cards of an era.
Back in 2008, when the world was propelled into financial distress, the design industry adopted a pensive approach to colour. White, stone, concrete and timber were hailed as the foundations for good, honest, timeless design. In 2013, global finances are just as uncertain – especially for creative, young trendsetters – but a rainbow of colour is breaking up all that grey.
Interior designer and trend blogger Dana Tomic Hughes says, "We've witnessed a recent explosion of vivid hues. Historically, people have turned to colour in times of hardship. There is no quicker, easier and more cost-effective way to lift the spirits than by using bold colour – whether we wear it, live with it or drive it." Founder of the influential trend blog and design practice Yellowtrace, Tomic Hughes has more than 250,000 followers.
"This vivid colour movement began some time ago, as bright colour accents emerged in fashion and home furnishings. It then quickly evolved into the bold colour-blocking trend, followed by daring neons and fluorescents."
Bright colours such as blue, fuschia and yellow will see out the year, eventually mellowing to the neon pastels that Phillip Lim and Jonathan Saunders sent down the catwalk in 2012, Tomic Hughes forecasts. These colourific trends aren't made to last forever; they simply cleanse the palette, re-energising all the white, steel, timber and stone surfaces of this modern era.
This year, expect to see copper, brass and gold paired with matt black as well as colourful graphic patterns painted on walls and furniture. Clean "gallery whites" will continue to trend and so will neutrals with cool undertones.
The most prevailing colour trend of 2013, however, is a move away from prescriptive style. "We will see more individualism, more colour, more pattern and a break away from a homogenised aesthetic," says Scott Lewis, curator of the Colour: Texture: Form trend platform at the Australian International Furniture Fair in Sydney next week. "We are becoming less scared of colour and its applications and adapting trends in creative ways."
Global colour authority Pantone has announced emerald as their colour of 2013. "Green is the most abundant hue in nature – the human eye sees more green than any other colour in the spectrum," Pantone Color Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman says. The clarity of this jewel-like green responds to the complexity of today's world, but it's also an easy colour to add to neutral interiors, she says.
This explosion of liberal colour is spurred on by a generation of modern crafters who view design and decoration as a continuous act. Interior designer Kimberley Wiedermann of Mim Design says this group of design-savvy DIYers is hungry for new colour trends to fuel the creative process.
"A fresh colour scheme captures and surprises the senses in an era when we are constantly searching for new ways to be inspired and evolve," she says.
Wiedermann insists change is good, whether it be a coat of vibrant paint reviving a worn out table or a bold fabric updating an old chair. "It's about the feel-good factor. Some colours, particularly brights, encourage a strong feeling of happiness and power. This can dramatically lift a room and sometimes change one's perspective in the process."
Interior trends have typically enjoyed a seven-year lifespan, kicking off slowly with the innovators and early adaptors before infiltrating the mainstream. In this era of blogs, Instagram and Pinterest, fresh ideas are moving at lighting pace. "If anything, 2013 will see colour trends span further and faster than ever before," Tomic Hughes says.
"We live in an era replete with information. The internet, phone cameras and social media are making design more accessible to everyone, anywhere, any time.
"It's not uncommon for a clever design idea to go viral in a matter of days and spread across the globe."
Of course this volume of visual information can make it difficult for a new concept to take hold in the real world.
"It's only the ideas that filter through a range of industries – fashion, design, architecture and automotive – that have real longevity, Tomic Hughes says. The rest tend to be forgotten as quickly as they appear."
Designers Dion Hall and Nick Cox of Projects of Imagination see the dark side of all that ephemera.
"Consumers need to be aware of what this all means. The idea of trend has become a commercial methodology for financial gains," Hall says. "By following trends and their cycles, consumers are buying objects they often do not need, are commonly low in quality and will be thrown out when the next trend comes along."
Projects of Imagination is responsible for some of the hottest restaurant interiors in the country – Chin Chin, Coda, Print Hall. Still, they try to stay removed from "what's hot". Cox says, "Trend is a dangerous word. We as a studio definitely do not set trends, nor do we intrinsically follow colour recommendations in trend forecasting. Instead we hope to achieve innovation and longevity as designers and outcomes that are successful for our clients."
Hall and Cox believe the only trends worth following are those that promote a movement for positive change, such as the support of local practice or a shift towards environmentally conscious architecture and building.
"In most cases the stuff design trends tell us to buy usually ends up in landfill; certainly not what the world needs," Hall says.
"Let's get back to the basics – quality, durability, longevity and simplicity. Maybe we need to simply slow down on consumption, purchase quality items and be happy with the white on our walls. Read into architecture and design to appreciate their true values, and don't be in such a hurry."

Macbeth Act I scene 3: Identify a Literary Device from this scene and explain how the literary device is used in these words
Give the number of the lines in brackets
1 Answer | Add Yours
Act I, scene 3 in Macbeth uses many literary devices, especially in the witches' dialogue.
"I will drain him dry as hay" (18)-- This line uses simile, comparing the dryness to that of hay. I like how the witch uses 'hay' in her comparison, something natural and common to the audience, which provides an interesting juxtaposition to the otherworldly strangeness of the sisters.
"So foul and fair a day I have not seen" (37)-- Macbeth uses alliteration with the repeating consonant sounds which make the words sound similar, but the actual meaning of the words creates a vivid contrast. This idea of contrast becomes a theme throughout Macbeth, that outward appearance does not always suggest inward motive.
"Into the air; and what seemed corporeal, melted, As breath into the wind" (81-82)-- Macbeth uses simile to compare the witches' disappearance to breathe evaporating in the wind. The comparison is an interesting one, because Macbeth and Banquo use the natural world (bubbles, water, breath) to explain an unnatural occurrence. This supports Shakespeare's developing theme of contrasting outer appearance with what is on the inside.

Detail Rabbet Plane
If you thought the miniature shoulder plane in GW224:17 was maybe a little too twee to be taken seriously, then this plane is the real deal. It's based on an old Preston design, and is used to shoot shoulders and clean or tweak the floor of a housing.

Carcass Saws
In my day saws were sold in two flavours: tenon and dovetail. There are other types, sure, but they were few and far between. Across the pond, however, they seem to favour a more exotic system of nomenclature, hence the 'carcass saw' from Veritas.

Quick-release Tail Vise
A few months back this Veritas quick-release tail vise turned up on my doorstep, having been sent directly from Lee Valley in Canada, which wanted to know what I made of it. My first thought, actually, was to shelve my plans to fit a normal tail vise to my bench, as this one can be retro-fitted and would therefore have been the easier option.

Brazil, 2013, 118 Minute Running Time Genre/Subjects: Based on a Book, Biographical, Drama, GLBT, Historical/Period, RomanceLanguage: English, Portugese English Sub-Titles
Part of the Cinema Q Film Festival - Screens Saturday, July 20 at 7:15pm and Sunday, July 21 at 2:15pm Digital presentation - Veteran filmmaker Bruno Barreto (DONA FLOR AND HER TWO HUSBANDS) returns with a steamy tale of an unlikely romance between two extraordinary lesbian artists, set against the backdrop of political upheaval and a clash of cultures. Grappling with writer's block, legendary American poet Elizabeth Bishop (Miranda Otto) travels to 1950s Rio de Janeiro to visit her college friend, Mary (Tracy Middendorf). Hoping to find inspiration on Mary's sprawling estate, Elizabeth winds up with much more — a tempestuous relationship with Mary's bohemian partner, architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Glória Pires), that rocks the staid writer to her foundation. Alcoholism, geographical distance and a military coup come between the lovers, but their intimate connection would span decades and forever impact the life and work of these two extraordinary artists. The attraction of two polar-opposite women has rarely been so volatile and so erotically charged on the big screen.

Is there a pattern in stock and choice investing?
Let's start off of by defining a trend.A pattern is merely the standard direction of the industry.The current market can only transfer in three directions up, down or sideways.It is as basic as that.
For directional traders, recognizing the pattern is crucial since that is how income is made.If there is no pattern, then how would the purchaser of the uptrend earnings when the market place moves sideways.They will need to get minimal and promote significant.Similarly, short sellers can only advantage when they promote large and buy back decrease.Pattern followers will often wait for the market to shift or flip ahead of leaping in.Directional buying and selling, like any trading method, calls for self-discipline and persistence.Directional traders can only gain when the current market moves in their path up or down.
Directional investing demands robust self-self-control to comply with precise entry and exit guidelines forex trading . Prosperous traders make the most of solid threat management devices that use present industry price, portfolio allocation system in an account and will take edge of industry volatility. Directional traders use an initial threat approach that establishes their money publicity at the time of entry. This signifies that they need to know how much to get or market centered on their account dimensions. On the other hand, adverse value movements may well lead to an early exit for their complete trade for a modest reduction. To be a effective directional trader, the possibility reward ratio really should be 13 for any trade to be worthwhile.That is mainly because in spite of the specialized equipment readily available, directional traders are mistaken most of the time.If they are profitable four of ten trades, then they can be considered as fantastic traders.Directional traders have the market place odds staked from them each time that they enter into a trade.So when they are suitable, they anyoption have to let their revenue run, and when they are incorrect, they ought to rapidly minimize their losses quick.
Just before coming into into any trade, any trader should previously take into account the beneath.
Price tag One of the initial rules of directional trading is that value is the principal issue. If a industry is at fifty and goes to forty seven, 49, and 46 - the market is in a down trend. Occasionally technical indicators can exhibit in any other case. There are quite a few distinct indicators that can supposedly present in which the current market ought to move.Though that is always a good software, successful traders need to only be involved with what the market place is executing, not what the industry may possibly do. The value tells you what the marketplace is performing not the indicators!
Money Management The most crucial element of any trading technique.Effective traders will previously have a income administration system is location forex charts .Money management guarantees that the traders will constantly be in organization regardless of a negative spell.Very good traders will shed money.Lousy traders eliminate additional generally.No matter what you buying and selling stage, a great funds management program will protect against a wipeout of your portfolio.
Chance Management How much can you manage to lose in a trade if it goes incorrect?That should be decided before any position is opened.Setting your principles upfront will curb emotional and irrational decision building.For most traders, emotional selections can virtually surely be the worst conclusion that they make.Understanding what to do before trouble arrive knocking will help hold you on your toes.
Any trader must previously know the under issues before getting into into a trade.
How and when to enter the market?
How a lot of contracts or shares to trade at any time?
How much money to danger on each trade?
How to exit penny stocks the trade if it becomes unprofitable?

Obama praised the team at a White House ceremony on Friday. The Fever captured its first-ever WNBA title last October, defeating the Minnesota Lynx 87-78.
He called the players "wonderful role models" who work hard, play like a team and show good sportsmanship.
Following the ceremony, the team hosted a clinic for children on the White House basketball court.

text: Breaking Dawn Part Two 12 Bill Condon (2012) US 110 min Facebook Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email Film Review Reviewed By Karen Krizanovich 3 out of 5 The final film of any series should be absolutely spot on, and here director Bill Condon pulls off an amazing visual coup that will satisfy the many millions of Twihards and possibly convert a few others. Following on from the fourth film of the series, Bella and Edward are now Mr and Mrs Cullen, and have a half human/half vampire daughter - the oddly named Renesmee. When the Volturi - ancient warlike vampires who act as judges of the vampire world - come to believe that Renesmee is an immortal child (which is forbidden by their laws), they set out to kill the entire Cullen family. Meanwhile, vampires from all over the world risk their lives to act as witnesses to Renesmee's true nature. Despite stupid CGI wolves (and baby Renesmee for that matter), dodgy red contact lenses and terrible blotchy white greasepaint, this glossy finale remains true to the world of Twilight and the eternal love story at its heart. Plot Summary Vampire couple Edward and Bella enjoy a happy married life with their new daughter, but the leaders of the undead race believe the child is a threat to their entire species. The protective parents gather their allies to defend the girl in a final battle with their enemies. Conclusion of the romantic fantasy series, with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Michael Sheen.

Hong Kong actor, Francis Ng (吳鎮宇) is known for being a perfectionist, and he expects cast members to be punctual and always do the best in their parts. With his no-nonsense personality, Francis reportedly did not get along with his costar, Fala Chen (陳法拉) in Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄II> who allegedly is not a team player and has a bad habit of coming in late during filming.
Francis and Fala play a couple in the drama and they share many scenes together. Francis had already flared up once during the filming of Triumph in the Skies 2 when he scolded an assistant who was mistaken about the location of the shoot. However, an inside source revealed that Francis lost his temper again and even cursed at the crew during a location shoot in Paris.
The incident happened during an outdoor shoot at a park near the Louvre Museum when Fala was nowhere to be found after the lunch break. Francis became very impatient after waiting for Fala to come back to resume filming. He angrily shouted, "Where the [expletive] did she go? Where the [expletive] is she?" Francis then cursed at the assistant at the set, "Why are you rushing us? Why are we in such a [expletive] hurry?" His voice was so loud that even the people inside the Louvre Museum may have heard his tantrum.
The following evening, Francis lost his cool during an argument scene with Fala. Francis was reportedly upset with Fala who kept making mistakes, causing many outtakes. Francis allegedly attempted to control his anger but started kicking things around. Fala is used to this kind of situation, and she did not show any reaction to his outburst.
It was also reported that Fala had a knack of disappearing during the location shoot in Europe. As the crew was finishing up and getting ready to leave for the hotel, Fala went missing. This caused another round of cursing from Francis. "Fala Chen, the van is here, where the [expletive] are you?" Francis yelled. When the crew and the production team were done packing and ready to leave, Fala, like a magician, amazingly appeared out of nowhere.

In my opinion, both parties were behaving unprofessionally. Being punctual is a quinessential requirement in every profession not just acting, therefore Fala has no real justification for her tardiness. However, Francis has been in the industry long enough and should know better than to lose his temper in such an uncivilised manner. He had a choice to approach the situation in a more rational way but failed to do so which makes him no better than Fala.
Correct. I agree 100%
You're right but how do we really know the validity of these articles?
Of course the validity of these articles are questionable. I'm just simply basing my judgement on what was recounted in this particular article
Right now, Fala is in her prime and many folks are willing to overlook her indiscretions and "frankness" as other bloggers have alluded to. I would submit that if she is still in the business 20 years from now and pull the same shanigans, she will definitely get less screen time. Unfortunately, fame and fortune does spoil ones perception of reality of the world.
What exactly are her "indiscretions" that people are willing to overlook. And as if "frankness" was a character flaw. Some people, the people with low self-esteem – usually – they enjoy people kissing their *sses and sucking up. Other people actually don't mind honesty. I did enjoy how you added "alluded to" as in not even confirmed and who are these bloggers again?
"I would submit" If she is pulling the same shenanigans 20 years from now her screentime will be cut. LMAOLMAO. You certainly do say things that you have no idea about, quite decisively.
If you read the previous bloggers' comments regarding, "when in Rome, do what the Romans do". If Fala's "indiscretion" borders on lack of sensitivity for being late or "frankness" when speaking her mind without regard for other people's feelings because she is a diva versus tact and political correctness which you may consider "sucking up", more mature or grounded individuals would choose the latter for a more harmonious relationship. You would need to read between the lines and view other bloggers comments to see that you are in the minority on her behavior. I do not have an axe to grind with Fala, just her behavior. Somehow, did you read about any other female actresses being trashed for being late? Somehow, not knowing how old you are, I guess I have a few years on you and have experienced more often than not, speaking out frankly without tact does not get you anywhere but trouble.
OOOPS. I'm in minority about her behaviour? I'm sorry, first of all, I don't need to be in consensus to speak my mind. It's called individualism. Second, people are criticising her for her tardiness which I have AGREED is unprofessional. The allegations about her "rudeness" and "diva behaviour" however, remains to be proven. Now you however, are alluding to a her frankness constantly getting her in trouble which OMG you have no proof of. Her good friend Steven Ma said yes, she is blunt and that does insult SOME people's sensibilities. Usually the weak ones. That is a FAR cry from her being diva. Oh, and if you read Clamine's translation soooo carefully, I'm sure you also read that he said she had good work ethics and was diligent in her work. OOPS AGAIN. So much for those diva allegations.
Oh, and I don't know where you come from, but your "condescending lecturing tone" already tells me a lot. But in my parts of the world, we embrace freedom of speech, including honesty so I'm going to be just fine. Thanks for caring though!
*Clamine is probably a she
"Fala is in her prime and many folks are willing to overlook her indiscretions and "frankness"."
If you read the previous bloggers' comments regarding, "when in Rome, do what the Romans do". If Fala's "indiscretion" borders on lack of sensitivity for being late or "frankness" when speaking her mind without regard for other people's feelings because she is a diva versus [..]
The "previous bloggers' being me, I suppose.
My "Romans" post is a direct response to Nicole's posts. As far as I can see in this thread, nobody is overlooking or condoning Fala's tardiness, and has in fact denounced her lateness for being unprofessional.
when speaking her mind without regard for other people's feelings because she is a diva
I don't understand why speaking one's mind albeit thoughtlessly is considered a diva action. Her words maybe too blunt even offensive to some people for various reasons but why pinned it down as her being diva? I have friends who are outspoken but they are no diva.
As for her other "discretions" as you called it, specifically her outspokenness and tactlessness, she is consciously working hard in polishing up her interpersonal communication skill, and also to be more tactful in her responses and reactions, give her that much.
Fala admits as much that she needs to work on her interpersonal communication skills and tact.
2012 April news report:
Fala Chen, whose personality Steven Ma says is straightforward, is full of praises for this god-brother of hers. [..] "When I acted in 'Steps' I was still a newbie. If he found this leng miu (youngster) lacking in anything…he would mention it, especially on how to conduct myself when handling interpersonal situations. In many situations he taught me to be patient and to control my feelings. When faced with a situation, don't run off my mouth at the first instant. That could easily offend other people without even my knowing it. In this field, he has good affinity with people and has experienced much, so of course, I will listen to his opinions, at the same time, grateful to him for teaching me interpersonal skills.
2010 Ghost Writer radio interview with Chai Siu Yan
Csy: This big brother, Fala, what's magnetic about him, this Ma Jun Wai, that you listen so much to what he said?
Fala: I truly listen to him.
Csy: I know sometimes he called you up directly. And told you all what he thought over the phone.
Fala: But I believe the stuff he said. After all, he's been in the industry than us for a much longer period. Hence he has more experiences. Like even how to get along with other people, and when encounter situation that I won't know how to react, these I will ask him. Particularly at work on how to act, or how to portray the character, all I will ask him too. And truly, he is always willingly to help me out.
hahaha…300 something messages for only a small issue, ok instead of arguing about who's wrong in this issue, then let us blame the insider for making this public This way then we don't need to battle anymore
I have visited this website for more than a year, and I never had people, except Nicole, "fighting" back on my posts in such an uncivilized way. I am a very civilized person, and I always respect other people's opinions and comments. I understand that everyone of us has his/her rights to submit his/her posts as long as he/she writes it politely and reasonably.
We cannot always expect other people to agree with us, but it is rather annoying and irritating if someone is on your back all the time. I will try to stay away from this Nicole and not to step on her tail in future.
Honestly speaking, everyone of us does have some favours on certain artistes and some prejudices against others. Right? I enjoy coming up here to share my opinions with others, but I don't enjoy having someone on my back all the time.
I always submitted my comments based on the articles on Jayne's website, but I would be glad to learn about facts, rumours or gossips in the entertainment industries from people if they hear/read them elsewhere.
lolz i bet fala and fransic are posting under an alias in this website.

(VIDEO) Kube Architecture had to gut an entire rowhouse on N Street in Georgetown in order to move a staircase and install a magnificent skylight. The result is a light-filled contemporary home.
Transforming a plain bathroom into a true master bath experience with a modern, welcoming feel.
More than just enhanced curb appeal, this 75-year-old Tudor cottage was reborn with a modern openness that's both family-friendly and neighborhood-friendly.
This remodel created an open plan and added richness to the design by making a feature of the wood ceiling the clients loved so much.
By breaking down walls and bringing light into the space, the designer did more than just open up the plan — he created an entirely new atmosphere.
A drab split-level home is transformed into a modern showpiece with the addition of a "light box" to the rear facade, adding space on two levels and bringing in abundant natural light.
Moving a staircase and adding a skylight works wonders for lightening up a century-old row house.
A 1920s Colonial gets a substantial addition that both feels appropriate and yet provides contemporary amenities for a modern family.

Though a technical violation of the EULA one agrees to when installing Avira Free A/V, disabling the large pop-up that occurs with each update is not difficult to effect.

Getting tired of all those other, realer CES covereages? That's because you're SMART. That's why you've turned to me, Scott Lydon, and my 2013 CES faux-verage. That's right, the week's almost over, but I've finally got a decent intro paragraph.
After the jump, you'll get to enjoy the very best lies and fabrications that come from the floor of CES. Just think, we're the only coverage brave enough to retract our statements before we even make them! See you inside?
As you know, our own Jason Toon's on the ground in Las Vegas but he's been so quite I'm assuming he's been embargoed. That means I'M the first on the biggest story of the year! Apple's taking things to the next level with the ultimate in coffee shop cool: iPads for Cupcakes!
Expect these tiny little tech explosions in the third quarter of 2014. Flavors include Chocolate Buttercream, Cherry Glaze (pictured) and a limited edition Red Velvet Wedding Cake.
From the up-and-coming side of CES, small company Lock-n-Spiel joins the new "cloud computing" craze with the Lock-n-Speil Digital Locker!
This locker has 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and comes in both combination and key-based models. Perfect for tech-friendly schools and gyms! Now being pushed in a locker won't be a heartbreaking rite of passage, it'll be a chance to watch your virtual collection of movies and MP3s!
And who's ready to finally give up on 3-D HDTV? The American public! Or so Temporal Televisions is hoping. Their new 4-D HDTV is still in the shop, but anyone visiting their 2"x2" booth near the men's restroom at the Days Inn was giving this lovely schematic explaining the technology.
Don't know about you, but I'm convinced. A great way to finally view all those classics of yesteryear as they were meant to be seen: again for the first time.
Keep watching our blog for CES coverage for the rest of the week. Also, guess what? The images above incorporate iPad Back from bfishadow and Cupcake from a_cinnamon_stick and Beam in front of lockers from crazytales562 and Sony KDL-40W2000 LCD HDTV (Logos) from William Hook are used under a Creative Commons License.

"High quality, beautiful design... could not be happier! I wanted something understated yet elegant and this was perfect! In the photo the background looks a little pink but it is actually ecru... which is what I wanted. I was concerned that the design would be too light and the brown ink & font used might not show up (because of previous comments) but both were fine and very legible. The design is a little more muted on the actual invitation because of the textured card stock but it is still beautiful. I didn't add any text to the back but if I were to redo I might add directions or instructions for wedding party, etc. The die cut border also complements the design quite well. Great customer service, extremely quick turnaround, good value."
"Ordering invitations online couldn't have been easier. WPD was so easy to work with and they were quick too! I absolutely love the finished product. I never would have thought that ordering something online instead of from a live person could be so easy and that the product would be so awesome. I will be back!"
"The paper is fabulous quality...the design is lovely...everyone I sent the invitation to commented on how 'absolutely lovely' it was!"
"I utilized this card as an invitation to my wedding rehearsal luncheon. While replying via RSVP, more than a few people commented positively on the design of the card itself, such as "Great card!" Well, I thought so too! As a former graphic designer/ art director myself, I feel this card has got IT from a design sense! Love the simple visual metaphor of the male/ female chairs. Aesthetically well executed. Technically, the card felt great, good size and proportions, exquisite printing. Opted for the default green and blue color scheme. Perfect for early spring, and the knocked-out initials really pop off the darker chair backs. Fun! Love it!"
"This card is of great quality, print looks amazing. The professional review was wonderful as well. Highly recommend this card and Wedding Paper Divas. Can't wait to send them out!"

Jason Kapono the most efficient three-point shooter in the league has recovered from an ankle sprain, and since he plays small forward like Wright, Wright sits. Even without Kapono, Wright had played only 87 seconds in the previous two games. With home-court advantage in the playoffs at stake, it seemed clear that Wright hadn't yet earned the trust of Head Coach Pat Riley.
This is the downside to landing on a team of accomplished veterans who make championship-title runs. It's meant Wright hasn't had the opportunity he might have had if, say, Shaq, James Posey, Antoine Walker, and Gary Payton hadn't come to the Heat soon after he was drafted. It's also meant he gets to learn from them in practice if not in games.
In his first season with the Heat, Wright played in only three games, scoring just seven points. He fared slightly better in the second season, playing in 20 games for an average of six minutes each. During this season, Wright's third, a few teammates got injured and Wright got his chance.
For 19 games, Wright was in the starting lineup and showed promise: several double-doubles and a few snazzy dunks, and he hustled like crazy. But his jump shot was erratic, and as teammates stepped up, Wright fell behind; in early January, he lost his starting spot. Since then, his playing time has been spotty. Some games, he'll be on the court for 30 minutes. Others, he'll get no time.
NBA rule makers recognized the plight of the unfulfilled prep star. Last year, they required that draftees must be a year out of high school and at least 19 years old. The new rule is meant to protect promising players from being drafted before they're ready, then falling flat, losing confidence, and ruining what might have been extensive NBA careers.
Coaches and scouts say they'd be surprised if there wasn't a place for Wright's unreal athleticism, pterodactyl wingspan, and diversified skill set somewhere in the league. It took Jermaine O'Neal a couple of seasons on the bench, then being traded, before he became a Pacers standout. It takes an emotionally resilient player to do this, but the consensus is that Wright is in the NBA to stay.
On a sleepy, tree-lined Coconut Grove block, there's a $475,000 condo, previously occupied by former Heat journeyman post player Malik Allen, now with the Chicago Bulls. As of October, it has been the home of Dorell Wright.
Most of the two-story condos on the block have red-tiled, Spanish-style roofs, stucco siding, metal gates out front, and wooden fences separating them from their neighbors. Wright's gate is open, and one can walk right in, past his white Range Rover with blacked-out windows, chrome rims, and "D. Wright Way" inscribed in black paint above the right taillight.
Wright's not here now. He's actually in the middle of an away game against the Indiana Pacers, which I'm hoping to watch with his roommate. But, it turns out, Clark hasn't been watching Heat games lately, and he doesn't want to watch this one.
He opens the door and extends a hand made for basketball long dexterous fingers and wide, warm palm. Clark has close-cropped hair and a neatly trimmed mustache, with a few coiled hairs protruding from his chin. He's the picture of an athlete at rest black Nike shorts, a black T-shirt, and white ankle-length sports socks.
The walk to the living room takes guests across the beige tiled foyer floor and through the generous and formal sitting room. Perched at the kitchen counter is Nicole Hutchinson, a willowy and stunning 23-year-old from Parkland who is taking shots of Patron Citronage, one of about five types of Patron sitting on the kitchen counter. If you're wondering whether Wright and Clark listen to Jay-Z, who boosted Patron's sales tenfold with its mention in "Show Me What You Got," the answer is yes. They're also into Lil Wayne, Nas, and T.I.
"It tastes like Kool-Aid, don't it?" Clark says. He and Hutchinson, who met after one of Wright's games, are just friends. Tonight, she's got a party to hit, and as she leaves, I ask her if there's anything she'd like to mention about Wright. "He goofy," she says, flashing a mischievous, knockout smile.
I take a seat on Wright's black leather couch, which faces a 60-inch flat-screen television smaller than what they wanted, actually. To Clark's chagrin, Georgetown is beating Vanderbilt. To the right of the television is Wright's desk, where pictures of his friends and family surround his laptop computer, lit up by its current screensaver a picture of his reverse dunk against the Magic.
Wright changes the screensaver pretty often and takes unabashed pleasure in his own image. In fact, Clark recently discovered a camera full of Wright close-ups taken in his Range Rover. "I caught him taking a photo session of himself!" he says, giggling.
Like the Thanksgiving story, though, there's no spite in this disclosure. For all the good-natured ribbing, Clark seems almost protective of Wright. Asked why he isn't watching the Heat game, Clark says: "I know they're going to win, but they're not putting my boy in. D. Wade ain't playing either."

NEW YORK (AP) — Khaled Hosseini, whose novels have sold more than 38 million copies worldwide, knows what a lucky man he is.
The Afghan-American author of "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns" continued his amazing run Tuesday night as he appeared before an overflow crowd at the Barnes & Noble on Manhattan's Union Square. With some 300 seated before him and dozens more watching on a video screen a floor below, Hosseini spoke for around 40 minutes about his new novel, "And the Mountains Echoed."
The book, published Tuesday, will likely become one of the summer's favorite reads. It has received admiring reviews and reached the top 10 on Amazon.com well before its official release.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Investor Conviction Needed (Final)
Theme No. 3: Homeland Security
Cramer's third long-term theme was that of homeland security. He said sadly the threat of terrorism is will be with us for a long time, so we might as well make some money off this enormous defense theme.
Among Cramer's picks in this space were American Science and Engineering (ASEI), a company that makes X-ray scanners to detect explosives including mobile scanners used in Afghanistan.
Also on Cramer's wish list are Fortinet (FTNT), a network security play and Verint (VRNT), a company that makes software used by law enforcement to analyze digital communications.
Cramer also gave the nod to NICE Systems (NICE), an Israeli company that makes high quality analytics software for video surveillance. Using NICE software, companies or government agencies can automate such arduous tasks as watching for unattended bags in airports or bus stations. Cramer said the bottom line when it comes to homeland security is that counter-terrorism and network security are big businesses that aren't going away anytime soon. He told investors that these stocks are for the long term, and they shouldn't chase them higher in the open market.Theme No. 4: Healthy Eating
With over two-thirds of all Americans being overweight and nearly half of them obese, any company that can deliver high-quality food that's delicious and healthy will be in the sweet spot, Cramer said. According to Cramer, there are a lot of great companies in this space, including Whole Foods (WFMI), Hain Celestial (HAIN - Get Report) and Panera Bread (PNRA - Get Report), but one of his absolute favorites remains Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG - Get Report). Cramer said the analysts on Wall Street have a hard time discerning a Whole Foods from a Safeway (SWY - Get Report) or a Chipotle from a McDonalds (MCD - Get Report), but the fact remains that places that teach people how to eat better are in a class by themselves. In the case of Chipotle, Cramer said the company's "food with integrity" motto has caught on, which is why customers are willing to pay up for the company's burritos, which are not only tasty, but also healthy. In the case of Whole Foods and Hain Celestial, Cramer said these two companies have essentially become a healthy food "seal of approval" for consumers. Panera Bread has become another place to get fresh, healthy food, and consumers have taken notice in droves, he said. Cramer said investors should be willing to pay up for brands like Chipotle, Hain and Panera because they stand for something so much more than just a restaurant or a brand at the grocery store. He said these companies all need to be on investors' long-term shopping list.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Appliance becomes an evolving canvas that reflects, lives, loves and adventures
Gallery of cool
Of all the things a mother does to show her pride, perhaps nothing is as universal as posting her child's handiwork on the appliance that so often doubles as the family art gallery: the refrigerator door.
"It's a place in the central shared room, the kitchen," said Ojai art therapist Pat Allen, Ph.D., "and a spot you know everyone will see. So when you post artwork there, it's giving it a central importance in our busy lives, a form of recognition that is vital to children."
Ventura art therapist Dee Spring, Ph.D., said the refrigerator is a natural repository for family paraphernalia because, well, it's there.
"It's a surface that's available. It's tall. It's easy to see. It's the hub of the kitchen, which is the family meeting place," Spring said. "It's the heart of the family."
The art on the refrigerator, she said, can tell you a lot about a family.
"All art sends some kind of message, whether it's on a refrigerator door or in a museum," Spring said.
And, just as museum exhibits change, refrigerator displays also are rarely static.
"It becomes a moving composition with a unique personality," Spring said. "Sometimes it takes a month for it to change. It reflects family adventures and adventures to come."
Allen said the metal surface of the refrigerator is another feature that makes it an ideal art gallery.
"You can use magnets instead of tape or nails and easily move art around or update the display," Allen said. "This is important because we want kids to see their creativity as a process, not a single act."
Mary Ann Fiore, 58, of Newbury Park says her refrigerator art gallery exhibit evolves as her family evolves. When her three children were young, she posted their artwork on the fridge. Now that they've left the nest, she creates an annual exhibit that includes friends as well as family.
"I take all the new pictures that we've gotten in Christmas cards and greetings and replace last year's pictures that have been on the fridge for the past year," she said in an e-mail.
When her two grandchildren get older, she expects the refrigerator display will evolve again.
"I imagine, as our grandchildren grow and produce wonderful works of art, our theme may once again change," she said.
The refrigerator in the Ventura home of Dorothy and Bill Haeussler is a magnet for their 13 grandchildren, who range in age from 13 years to five months. Dorothy, 61, has transformed the fridge into a colorful photo album of the grandchildren, which causes the kids to cluster around it every time they visit. Every time a child comes for a visit, he or she can update the photo on Grandma's refrigerator version of "My Space."
"Everyone enjoys checking to see which cousin has a new picture," Dorothy said.
Each child has his or her name spelled out in colorful magnetic letters and order of birth represented with a brightly colored magnetic number. The frame below every photo is lined with the words, "My grandparents love me."
"I like seeing them and it makes me feel close to them," Dorothy said of her grandkids, when asked why she put so much care into her refrigerator display. "It's become a game for them to pose for a current picture."
Besides photos of their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, Opal and Roy Hester's refrigerator chronicles the adventures the Ventura couple has had during their 62 years of marriage.
In May of 1966, for example, the avid hikers hoofed it to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back again in one day. Also in the mid-1960s, Opal had Ray drop her off at the Panorama Trail in Yosemite Park, then pick her up down the trail, after she had hiked 22 miles. In 1964, she and Ray also scaled and descended Mount Whitney in a day. Opal eschewed hiking shoes.
"That's me up at the top of Mt. Whitney in shorts and thongs," she said, pointing to a photo of herself in flip-flops. "I figured the Indians did it, so I could, too."
The refrigerator also holds magnets printed with destinations from all over the U.S., like Illinois, Alaska, South Dakota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Texas. Opal estimates that they have visited about three-quarters of the states in the union. She is 84 and Roy is 87, so they figure they have plenty of time to visit the other states.
Not everybody does photos, either. Ruth Pollaine, 79, of Camarillo uses the refrigerator as a shrine to her passion: chocolate.
"Hand over the chocolate, and nobody will get hurt," reads one of dozens of magnets that blanket the front and sides of Pollaine's refrigerator. "If they don't have chocolate in heaven, I'm not going there," reads another. And another is printed with: "chocolate, sex, chocolate, sex, chocolate sex."
Neither Pollaine, 79, nor her husband of 60 years, Ed, 84, can remember exactly what touched off her love affair with chocolate, just that it's been going on for about 35 years. The drawer, cupboards and inside of the refrigerator are loaded with chocolate bars, twists, drops, drinks and ice cream.
Ruth's also has won public recognition with her refrigerator magnet collection. In 2003, her magnets won her a Director's Choice Award at the Ventura County Fair in the "Hobbies, Models and Collections" division.
Be it chocolate-themed magnets, photos or children's artwork, Allen said she believes that what's on the refrigerator should nourish the family just as certainly as what's in it.
"A family that displays (refrigerator art) knows that we do not live by bread alone," she said. "We need to feed the soul as well, and art is the best way to do that."
