Kim might think she's American royalty, but she may not be worth Obama's time. The Kardashian powerhouse was reportedly denied a meet-and-greet by the President yet again during a charity gala on May 7. So a double date with Michelle and Kanye is out of the question, then?
This isn't the first and it doesn't seem like it will be the last time Kim Kardashian tries to get close to President Obama and fails. The reality star reportedly tried to initiate another one-on-one introduction with the POTUS at the USC Shoah Foundation 20th Anniversary Ambassadors For Humanity Gala in LA on May 7 but was flat-out denied. Seriously, if there was a makeshift door at this event, it was reportedly slammed in the Kim's face.
Kim Kardashian: Shut Down By President Obama?
Kim came out to show her support for survivors of the Armenian genocide at the charity event, and it just so happened that the President was there to accept the award for "Ambassador for Humanity."
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star saw this as her opportunity to grab the attention of the Head of State, but failed miserably, according to TMZ.
"Kim's table wasn't close to President Obama. She enlisted one of her minions to scout out the opportunity to meet him," a source said. "Obama's table and surrounding area was swarming with Secret Service, and security was very tight. Kim's lackey was told to go pound sand, and it was conveyed to Kim that she wouldn't be able to meet him."
Ouch. That is a hard blow to Kim's ego, but she shouldn't take it too personally — he is the President after all.
"Kim was let down and disappointed," the source also revealed. "She didn't understand why she just couldn't say hello to him. Ever since landing the Vogue cover, her ego is even more out of control. In her mind, she and Kanye are more popular than the President Obama and the First Lady!"
How Does Obama Really Feel About Kim Kardashian & Kanye West?
Obama has hinted numerous times he's not fond of the reality star or her fiancé Kanye West. The POTUS spoke to Amazon in 2013, stating, "We weren't exposed to things we didn't have in the same way kids these days are … Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success."
The Pres has also gone on record calling Yeezy a "jackass" more than once.
Who can blame the guy for not keeping up with this Kardashian, though? He shouldn't be getting wrapped up in celebrities when he has the entire country to run.
But what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Was it rude of the President to diss Kim like that?

Harvey Milk Stamped "Out" Forever !
The Obama Cabal is behind universal GAYety with a "forever" postage stamp glorifying Harvey Milk, a Jewish homosexual predator "attracted to boys aged 15-19," according to WikiAnswers! (Also see Wikipedia.)
Global gaydom was even predicted by Jesus (see "days of Lot" in Luke 17 and compare with Genesis 19).
And the Hebrew prophet Zechariah (14th chapter) says that during the same end-time gay "days" ALL nations will come against Israel and fulfill the "days of Noah" at the same time (see Luke 17 again) – a short time of anti-Jewish genocide found in Zechariah 13:8 when two-thirds of all Jews will die.
In other words, when "gay days" have become universal, all hell will break loose!
Shockingly, the same "days" will trigger the "end of days" – and when they begin, worldwide human government will quickly wind down in just a few short years! For the first time in history there won't be enough time for anyone to even attend college, let alone have a family, save money, enjoy retirement, etc.
One final thought. The more we see gays "coming out," the sooner Jesus will be "coming down"!
For more, Google or Yahoo "God to Same-Sexers: Hurry Up," "Jesus Never Mentioned Homosexuality. When gays have birthdays…," "FOR GAYS ONLY: Jesus Predicted…," "USA – from Puritans to Impure-itans!" and "The Background Obama Can't Cover Up."

I am sick of the lie stories the press and media make up
About Kim and her family . Lies again she said it's not true
None of the stories. Hating bullying racist bigots comment
Get shown only not the ones of their fans. I always write
Good things and my friends but they are never shown.
It is the same with Kate and her sister pippa and the rest
Of her family and other royal pure hate comment
Sickening revolting hating devil people

Obama should not put Kim and Kanye down. Why does he do that? It is kind of strange and judgemental and beneath his stature. He once told Khloe how much he enjoyed KUWTK, then turned around and started putting them down.What is the problem? He should remember not to judge others, as others are judging him.
Posted at 1:47 AM on May 10, 2014
They need to leave Kim alone and it is inappropriate for a President of the United States to pick on one of it's citizens if she has not done any harm to him. I hope this story is not true, because if it is, it does not reflect too well on him. I cannot see our President being that ridiculous, ungracious or petty. People should stop the ridicule and bullying, it is just downright nasty and mean spirited, to single someone and hound them with viciousness!
How is PRESIDENT OBAMA, PICKING ON KIM? IT SEEM LIKE SHE IS STALKING HIM, You don't send your FLUNKY OVER TO THE PRESIDENT TO SAY SHE WANT TO MEET YOU, IF someone don't want to talk to you why stalk them, and another thing you don't send your flunky over to the PRESIDENT AND A HUSBAND SAYING YOU WANT TO MEET HIM, THAT WAS DISRESPECT TO THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY MICHELLE, SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH KIM AND KANYE, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE SITUATION, THAT WAS A DISRESPECT FOR KANYE WEST, THIS GUY REALLY NEED TO WAKE UP, KIM HAVE BEEN STALKING PRESIDENT OBAMA AND FIRST LADY SINCE 2012 LAST YEARS SHE WAS AT THE CORRESPONDENCE DINNER, KENYE GOT ANGRY BECAUSE FIRST LADY MICHELLE WAS ON VOGUE, KANYE WEST BEGGED UNTIL HE GOT HER NAME ON VOGUE, we guess KIM THOUGHT THAT HAD BOUGHT HER A TICKET TO THE OBAMAS.

She spends all her time trying to rub shoulders with all these high powered people but Kanye can't keep paying everyone and begging for everyone to like her.Kim needs to think about more important things than posing nude,or begging people like Anna Wintour for a dumb Vogue cover.The president wouldn't rub shoulders with Kanye or Kim because he has no respect for them or their morals.This is Kim's second time trying to meet him and that's really not going to happen.
I dont believe a word of this crap leave the bloody woman alone
Every day the media and the press comes out with a pack of lies about
Her and her family, she said yesterday that all the stories are not true
President OBama should never treat anyone different. He has got
Lots of hater also. The devil evil vile little nasty north korean leader
Calling him a black monkey and saying very revolting racist bigot
Things about him, he is a
Monster who got a pack of dogs to kill
His uncle and other family member. The good comment never
Get shown, only th devil people hating bastards get shown
You devil are no better you kill others because of hate,
Commit others to suicide and hate cprimes

Posted By: Andrea EbersolDate: February 10, 1997 at 15:10:20
I am just beginning to experiment with the diet (going from a magazine article until I can find the book),but as an O, I am having trouble figuring out what to do for breakfast.I tend to eat light in the am (toast, muffin etc), but with the exclusion of wheat anddairy products, I am stuck. Never having been a "cold pizza for breakfast type," the thoughtof steak or other "dinner-type" foods is more than I'm up for.
Any suggestions?

Curren$y - Grew Up In This Feat. Young Roddy & Freddie Gibbs
Grew Up In This Curren$y Feat. Young Roddy & Freddie Gibbs From The Drive In Theatre
Off his brand new mix, "The Drive In Theatre" comes this sick new song, "Grew Up In This," with Young Roddy and Freddie Gibbs helping out on the track.
His new mix, The Drive In Theatre, is up to par with the standard of quality expected from a Curren$y Project. The mixtape was dropped only recently and can be found here.
Off his new mix, comes the stellar "Grew Up In This," which features Freddie Gibbs and Young Roddy spitting some bars. The track has a southern-sounding nostalgic loop and a smooth sound, as expected from the like of producer Thelonious Martin, who is behind the production on this track.
Be sure to check out the entire tape as this only but a taste of all which Curren$y dropped on us today, this Valentine's. As for the track itself, with Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs, and Young Roddy - who do you think bested whom?
Quotable Lyrics:
Life a movie
Who directin' your shit?
Yours is low budget

The body of a West Deptford teen who was swept downstream in the Delaware River Wednesday night was recovered this afternoon, after it was spotted along the shoreline north of a patch of land known as No Name Island.
Rescue workers recovered the body of 17-year-old Ryan Lewis shortly before 1:30 p.m after it was spotted on the shoreline at the change of tide, said Dennis Kappler, public information officer for the National Park Fire Department.
The teenager, a June graduate of West Deptford High School, was last seen around 9 p.m. Wednesday about 20 feet from the Beach Hill shoreline. He had gone into the Delaware River to aid three friends whose boat became stuck on a sandbar near No Name Island, a patch of sand and trees 200 yards from the shore, at low tide.
The friends made it back to shore.
The search of the river had been concentrated on a 300-yard area - 150 yards in either direction No Name Island. Lewis' parents and several relatives maintained a vigil along the shoreline throughout the search.
The decision to focus on that specific area is "based on some of our experiences and practice," Kappler had said.
Crews from Gloucester and Camden counties, as well as the State Police, assisted in the search.

Patootie is one of the nude lipglosses that were released by Benefit just recently. I didn't even know they existed and stumbled across them by accident about three weeks ago. I got Patootie after finishing both my MAC "Icescape" lipglass and its backup, too. That's what I dislike about LE's. When it's gone it's gone. As for Patootie: I didn't try it on, just bought it because I liked the colour when I was at the counter. It looked like a close enough dupe and it turns out to be a close enough dupe. It's a very light, pearly pink without the duochrome shimmer, however. It's perfect for a nude lip make-up and just overall pleasing & flattering. Texture is quite thin & non-sticky. The lasting power is mediocre but the feeling of it is nice. Very moisturizing. I also like the scent which reminds me of the bubble gum I used to have as a child. Yummy. I'm also totally in love with the flask. It's really sturdy & massive and the black print doesn't come off, even though I carry it around in my purse all the time. I know that's probably unessecary to mention but I'm a sucker for packaging and I really dislike the fact that the MAC print comes off when I carry their lipglasses around with me. Major difference: MAC has a little sponge applicator, Benefit has a brush. I like both. 5ml retail for 19 and to me, it's worth every cent. I've been using this gloss exclusively ever since I got it and it doesn't look like I used it at all, so I guess I will have this quite a while. So far, best Benefit product I have tried. Will repurchase!

What are the VACCINES TO CURE PLANTS FROM TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS?
The following may be helpful. Generally though, plants are used to produce transgenic vaccines.
Anthony Brach Ph.D.
Dear Rivjot,
Thank you for your question. It could be read as a very broad and open question, but I think you are referring to some research that has been publicized recently. The research involved an experiment with plants similar to what is done to vaccinate human beings. A specific part of a protein associated with tobacco mosaic virus was expressed in a plant and the plant reacted by stimulating its defenses that fight against the virus. The plant thus became immune to the tobacco mosaic virus without being directly infected by the virus.

"Does Not Hold Up As Well As I Expected"
I read this book three or more decades ago and enjoyed it very much. But when I listened to it this week, I was surprised at how sad it now seemed: Asimov's view of the future was so far off (punch tape thousands of years in the future???) and his treatment of gender issues made the listening tough at times. The reader did not trouble me much though the obvious logical inconsistencies were hard to ignore (probably inevitable in any time-travel story).
Matt Ridley writes great books. What makes them great is the abundance of information he presents to justify his conclusions as well as his willingness to admit when a conclusion is mere speculation. For anyone interested in evolutionary biology, this is a great book. Two thumbs up (though he does not focus on why only apes have opposable thumbs).
"A self-satisfied author with little to say"
The first 100 (literally!) minutes of the audio book is nothing but an autobiography of the author showing in his own words how much smarter he is than everyone else. Tiresome is far too weak a word.
The observation that great uncertainty generally cannot be quantified surely is true but does not require a book to say. Do most people forget this fact? Sure. Does the author offer any practcal advice? No.
For a lesson in smug, read this book.
"Better in Context"
I read this story many years ago shortly after reading Downbelow Station and a few of the other, related novels in the Alliance Space universe. The world depicted in Cyteen made a nice contrast with the other societies created by Cherryh. But listening to it by itself, I found the story excrutiatingly slow with very little plot. If you are an Asimov fan, this book will put you to sleep. If you prefer Heinlein, you might like the introspective nature of the book. I recently purchased the sequel to this book (Regenesis), and I doubt I will give it a try. Of the related novels, I most enjoyed Merchanter's Luck.
"For me, the best of the series"
I am listening to the entire Miles Vorkosigan series after having read them over many years. While I generally prefer those that have more Miles and less Mark, I found this installment to be the best so far even though the middle third was all about Mark. And I even grew found of Mark and his personal development! The entire series makes for a great listen, and I am sad that I have only a few more to go.
"History Always Repeats"
I did not know much about the state ratification process, and so it was interesting to learn how detailed the debates were (including, for example, the appropriate limits of diversity jurisdiction). The fights generally centered on a strong central government versus state variation and local control, pretty much what is going on today. The book was a bit too long but otherwise quite good.
"God awful"
I gave up after 90 minutes. The authors paint theories with which they disagree in cartoonish strokes and then assert their conclusions without any supporting data or argument. Perhaps it gets better but would anyone with anything to say really spend the first hour and a half wasting the listener's time? And the occasional turn of phrase the authors think is clever is anything but. Just a really, really bad book. Try the Selfish Gene, the Blank Slate, the Red Queen (by Matt Ridley), or anything by E. O. Wilson.
"Not up to McDevitt's standard"
I am a very big fan of Jack McDevitt's, but this book was disappointing. It had his usual clever mystery with a nice ending, but the story was just much too slow. And while I usually am indifferent to the reader, in this case (perhaps because I had so much time on my hands) I was particularly bothered by the many mispronunciations.
"I just don't get it"
I read fiction to learn something. But what can I learn from people who face without suprise things that simply cannot happen (such as strangers manipulating their dreams)? Far too much graphic violence for my taste as well. I am now almost 20 hours into this book without any idea why I should care what happens or how I will be improved by reading this book. I have learned a lot about multiple characters without learning why I am being told their stories. I just don't get it.

About this project
I'm a senior at Bethany Lutheran College, graduating this December. My Senior Capstone is this short film. My goal is to create something that goes beyond everything I have learned in the classroom and make something that stays with the audience long after I have graduated.
Fenix began as a collaborative project between me and my dad. The script has changed a lot since its beginning stages last year, but when my father passed away in the spring I wanted to keep many of the ideas that he contributed.
The film is about Glen who works a rarely exciting job as a space courier with the pilot of his vessel who is also his closest companion and is also a Homing Pigeon. While delivering a legally questionable piece of cargo, they discover the contents and must decide what to do with it especially since it will effect Earth.
You can read an excerpt from my script here (will be a link to the pages)!
I have always been drawn to Sci-Fi and yes, it was because of Star Wars. I have a love of film and I want this script and production to pull from all the classic sci-fi movies and all of the movies that have influenced me from Star Wars to It's a Wonderful Life and the films of David Lynch.
The goal is to create a film with a crew of fellow students that we are proud of and others enjoy watching and being a part of. The final 10-15 minute film will be entered into film festivals. I want to graduate with the experience of having created an amazing product that others love just as much as I do.
Updates to the production will be posted on my Production Blog and videos will be shared via vimeo
You can be involved!
I've already worked with Jonathan Gomez Whitney to design and begin building the set. My friend and fellow student Aaron Evans has done some concept art with me and my wonderful fiancée Katie Shrader is helping me with pretty much everything.
I'll also be working with other students here at Bethany Lutheran College who will be updated in the Production Blog.
There is no way I could make this film well without your help. I'm excited to continue working on this project with more than just my own drive to make it happen!
...oh yeah...the first public showing is schedule to be December 13, 2012 in Mankato, Minnesota.
The plan is to stream the film on December 13th. The initial showing and talk back session will also be recorded and streamed.
More information about this will be posted when the showing is closer

quick question:
Are you 21
or over?
or over?
Banana isn't the first flavor you think of when someone mentions jam. But the Jam Stand ladies have an impressive iconoclastic streak, and we PB+J addicts are grateful!
This slightly chunky jam takes our favorite sandwich to a whole other level. Sugar-coated bananas with a splash of rum and a dash of lime are intensely delicious – bananas at their best.
When we opened the jam in our office to taste, Sam ate the whole jar in one sitting with a spoon (don't tell his kids!)
Spread the love: Slosh on toast or pancakes or french toast. Spoon over vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. And, make the best peanut butter and banana sandwich you've ever tasted!
Bananas, sugar, lime, rum. Comes in a 8 oz jar.

Any illness with a psychological origin, manifested either in symptoms of emotional distress or in abnormal behaviour. Most mental disorders can be broadly classified as either psychoses or neuroses (see neurosis; psychosis). Psychoses (e.g., schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) are major mental illnesses characterized by severe symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and an inability to evaluate reality in an objective manner. Neuroses are less severe and more treatable illnesses, including depression, anxiety, and paranoia as well as obsessive-compulsive disorders and post-traumatic stress disorders. Some mental disorders, such as Alzheimer disease, are clearly caused by organic disease of the brain, but the causes of most others are either unknown or not yet verified. Schizophrenia appears to be partly caused by inherited genetic factors. Some mood disorders, such as mania and depression, may be caused by imbalances of certain neurotransmitters in the brain; they are treatable by drugs that act to correct these imbalances (see psychopharmacology). Neuroses often appear to be caused by psychological factors such as emotional deprivation, frustration, or abuse during childhood, and they may be treated through psychotherapy. Certain neuroses, particularly the anxiety disorders known as phobias, may represent maladaptive responses built up into the human equivalent of conditioned reflexes.

Mental illness characterized by the alternation of manic and depressive states. Depression is the more common symptom, and many patients experience only a brief period of overoptimism and mild euphoria during the manic phase. The condition, which seems to be inheritable, probably arises from malregulation of the amines norepinephrine, dopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine. It is most commonly treated with lithium carbonate.

It is sometimes considered a synonym for disease. Others maintain that fine distinctions exist. Some have described illness as the subjective perception by a patient of an objectively defined disease.
The mode of being healthy includes, as defined by the World Health Organization, " [...] a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". When these conditions are not fulfilled, then one can be considered to have an illness or be ill. Medication and the science of pharmacology is used to cure or reduce symptoms of an illness or medical conditions. Developmental disability is a term used to describe severe, life-long disabilities attributable to mental and/or physical impairments.
Social determinants of health are the social conditions in which people live which determine their health. Illnesses are generally related to social, economic, political, and environmental circumstances. Social determinants of health have been recognized by several health organizations such as the Public Health Agency of Canada and the World Health Organization to greatly influence collective and personal well-being.
Medical emergencies are injuries or illnesses that pose an immediate threat to a person's health or life which require help from a doctor or hospital. The doctor's specialization of emergency medicine includes techniques for effective handling of medical emergencies and resuscitation of patients. Emergency departments provides initial treatment to patients with a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries, some of which may be life-threatening and requiring immediate attention.
A drug is any chemical substance other than a food or device that affects the function of living things. Drugs can be used to treat illness, or they can be used recreationally to alter behavior and perception. Medications are typically produced by pharmaceutical companies and are often patented. Those that are not patented are called generic drugs. Some drugs, if misused, can overwhelm the homeostasis of a living organism, causing severe illness or death. Essentially it is a type of poisoning. In the context of biology, poisons are substances that can cause illness.
Bedrest as a medical treatment refers to staying in bed day and night, as in a treatment for a hangover. Even though most patients in hospitals spend most of their time in the hospital beds, bedrest more often refers to an extended period of recumbence at home.
Human enhancement technologies (HET) are technologies that can be used not simply for treating illness and disability, but also for enhancing human capacities and characteristics. Medication is a licenced drug taken to cure or reduce symptoms of an illness or medical condition. A wheelchair is mobility device that takes the form of a chair on wheels, used by people for whom walking is difficult or impossible due to illness or disability.
Shock therapy is the deliberate and controlled induction of some form of physiological state of shock in an individual for the purpose of psychiatric treatment. Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy in the treatment of impairments of health and a conditions of abnormal functioning.
Behavioral medicine is an interdisciplinary field of medicine concerned with the development and integration of psychosocial, behavioral and biomedical knowledge relevant to health and illness. Clinical Global Impression scale to assess treatment response in patients with mental disorders. It's " Improvement scale" requires the clinician to rate how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state. Mental confusion and decreased alertness may indicate that a chronic illness has gotten worse.
In the New Testament Jesus is described as performing miracles of healing.
Illness was one of the four scenes, referred to as the four sights, encountered by Gautama Buddha.
Korean Shamanism involves notions of "spirit sickness".
Folk medicine is collectively procedures traditionally used for treatment of illness and injury, aid to childbirth, and maintenance of wellness. It is a body of knowledge distinct from "scientific medicine" and may coexist in the same culture.
The border between normality and illness may be subjective. For example, in some religions, homosexuality is believed to be an illness.

In contrast to the deregulated hepatocellular division that is a feature of many hepatic diseases and malignancies, physiologic liver growth during embryonic development and after partial hepatectomy (PH) in adults is characterized by tightly controlled cell proliferation. We used forward genetic screening in zebrafish to test the hypothesis that a similar genetic program governs physiologic liver growth during hepatogenesis and regeneration after PH. We identified the uhrf1 gene, a cell cycle regulator and transcriptional activator of top2a expression, as required for hepatic outgrowth and embryonic survival. By developing a methodology to perform PH on adult zebrafish, we found that liver regeneration inuhrf1+/- adult animals is impaired.uhrf1 transcript levels dramatically increase after PH in both mice, and zebrafish and top2a is not up-regulated in uhrf1+/- livers after PH. This indicates that uhrf1 is required for physiologic liver growth in both embryos and adults and illustrates that zebrafish livers regenerate.

This year's convention season has boasted some time-tested big-screen performers on both ends of the spectrum: at the RNC, Clint Eastwood gave his rendition of The Invisible Man, while the DNC offered up Kal Penn taking on The Social Network (#sexyface). But the most moving performance of the lot didn't come from someone with a history on the screen or stage — it came from Michelle Obama. On Tuesday night, the first lady declared her love, support, and admiration for her husband and children in a speech that, politics aside, had to have left the heavy majority of viewers in a pool of tears.
The woman really knows how to move an audience. It wasn't just a well-written and earnest testament to hard work and family values, but a decidedly well-delivered one. Mrs. Obama handled the whole ordeal with impressive expertise; her enunciation, her perfectly timed pauses, her majestic command of vocal tempo... she knows her way around a speech. And if the first lady is this skilled just standing behind a podium, maybe she wouldn't do too shabby on the set of a movie?
We're all wondering where the future will take Michelle Obama, whether her husband wins a second term or not. Perhaps Michelle herself will get into the political game? Maybe she'll expand her work promoting healthy lifestyles for the American people? Those ideas are fine, but we're thinking bigger! Flashier! Something truly worthy of the first lady's camera-friendly skills. We're thinking showbiz!
Michelle has already taken her first steps into the pool of acting: in 2011, she made a guest appearance on the Nickelodeon series iCarly, playing herself. But that's small potatoes compared to what she's capable of — prime time! And she'd better get in on the action soon; Ann Romney has already been offered a spot on Modern Family. So what sort of role is best suited to launch the FLOTUS into the Hollywood world?
As Michelle proved with the anecdote about the early days of riding around in Barack's broken down jalopy, she can earn a laugh or two. Plenty of today's greatest dramatic film stars started out as comedic players on TV: Tom Hanks, Jamie Foxx, George Clooney, Bronson Pinchot. So why not try her hand at guest starring on a sitcom?On a fifth season episode of Parks and Recreation, Michelle Obama guest stars as park-hating Councilwoman Deborah Humphries, who challenges her new co-councilor Leslie Knope at every turn when it comes to issues of natural preservation. It doesn't take long for Leslie to find out that Deborah's aversion toward the maintenance of public grounds stems from her own father's obsession with keeping parks clean... an obsession that drove him to madness.After a few of these roles, perhaps as a nutrition teacher on Community or a mentally unbalanced new roommate for Dave and Max on Happy Endings when they realize they can't feasibly afford that apartment on their own (and maybe a spot on the How I Met Your Mother finale as the final answer to the show's perpetual riddle), she might be able to take a step toward genre expansion with a dramedy...On a second season episode of Girls, Michelle Obama guest stars as New York University literature professor Selma Winter who inspires Shoshanna to explore other sources of inspiration beyond Sex & the City, effectively turning the young girl's life upside down... much to the chagrin of her cousin Jessa and friends Hannah and Marnie. But when the gang approaches Prof. Winter about her influence on Shoshanna, they find themselves equally changed by her wisdom.Following a self-effacing cameo on Veep and an appearance on Louie as an element of star Louis C.K.'s fever dream, Michelle can find herself on the road to straight drama.On a sixth season episode of Mad Men, Michelle Obama guest stars as Don Draper's ultimate rival: in an era where African-Americans face tireless oppression, Obama's character Janine Phillips has earned a role at the head of a rival ad agency's creative department. She's better than Don will ever be — and perhaps just as tortured by a haunting past of poverty and abusive parents. Can Richard Whitman accept that a new Don Draper has blossomed in the industry?And all it'll take from here is a turn on Breaking Bad playing an FBI Agent on the hunt for Walter White, or a Game of Thrones sorceress more powerful than the dragons themselves, and she'll be able to make the transition... to movies.
Now that she's exhibited her versatility with television, Michelle can break right into big name blockbusters. Who knows what sort of characters the indexes of J. R. R. Tolkien will bring to Peter Jackson's third The Hobbit movie? Perhaps producers will find a certain Mockingjay role perfect for Michelle in time for the third and fourth The Hunger Games movies? And there's got to be a Marvel villain the first lady can tackle in The Avengers 2. But speaking of superhero flicks...Michelle Obama joins the cast of the developing Justice League movie as Wonder Woman, embodying the strength and insuperability of the D.C. heroine, with a humanity that audiences couldn't imagine coming from anyone but Lynda Carter.Of course, there's always room for an voiceover role when it comes to big stars...Michelle Obama takes a role in the sequel to Finding Nemo, playing a misunderstood octopus named Edna, whose foreboding presence has prevented her from making any of the friends she's always dreamed of... until she meets the warmhearted Dory and sprightly young Nemo.And yes... a zany, slapsticky comedy is unavoidable...Michelle Obama accepts a part in The Hangover Part III as the head of the insane asylum wherein Zach Galifianakis' character is held, and is hell bent on making sure his cronies don't help him escape.Finally, Michelle's tour-de-force. An original project, written and directed by Mrs. Obama herself, about the trials and tribulations of being the first lady... in the year 3015.Michelle Obama taps into the works of Ray Bradbury and George Orwell to set up a science-fiction dystopia in her original project First Lady, Last Hope, in which she stars as the title character — Rochelle Amabo — a first lady who discovers a dreadful government cover up, unbeknownst to her presidential husband (played by Will Smith) and must stop at nothing to ensure justice for her country's people.And there you have it. A career on the rise. As you can see, long after her stay in the White House, Michelle Obama will have plenty of career opportunities. Let's just hope Sasha doesn't follow suit... child actors never turn out quite right.

NT Thunder co-captain finally reaches 50th milestone
- From: NT News
- April 17, 2014
AARON Motlop has taken the long road to reach 50 games for NT Thunder but the well-respected leader is feeling as determined as ever to make a mark for the NEAFL club.
The Wanderers midfielder and Chaney medallist has suffered a knee reconstruction, dealt with the passing of a close friend during their premiership-winning season of 2011, and spent a year away from the club for personal reasons since debuting over five years ago in Round 1, 2009.
Motlop, 28, who was elevated to the co-captaincy this season, said ensuring the club's culture remains strong well into the future continues to be his aim.
"It's a pretty proud moment for me personally to get to 50 games, especially for this club and being a bit of a pioneer for it going forward," he said.
"Coming back (last year) after having a break and just having that connection with the club again — regardless of having the captaincy you want to improve and be a leader.
"I think what drives me is there was a lot of great people who came before me and setting up that culture, and it would be wrong for guys like myself, Cam (Ilett) and Brad Vassal and those types to not carry on what the Jarred Iletts and Shannon Ruscas did before us."
Motlop said having a distinct local flavour in the side this year, including the addition of Nathan Djerrkura, Liam Patrick, Jack Long, Alwyn Davey, Jonathan Peris and the return of Mitchell Taylor and Ross Tungatalum, has given him an extra spring in his step.
While stopping short of comparing the side to the champion 2011 premiership team, Motlop said they have what it takes to give the improving NEAFL competition a good shake.
"There is definitely a bit of an extra spring in the step this year, especially after a disappointing 2013 both personally and team-wise," he said.
"I'm just glad to have an opportunity to get out there and make right the wrongs of last year."
Motlop becomes the eighth player to reach 50 games after Jarred and Cameron Ilett, Darren Ewing, Bradley Palipuaminni, Jake Dignan, Kenrick Tyrrell and Matthew Rosier.

Mines of Mars help and tips (maybe some spoilers)
Echoseven posted these helpful tips below - and I think people will want to know the secrets to the boss fights. Some of them are tricky.
While digging, tap on any ore/mineral in your field of vision to see what it is. Dig horizontally before you dig down. This applies for long shafts - have a horizontal offshoot every 15 blocks or so as well as general exploratory digging. If there's an ore underneath you, dig one block further than the start of your downwards facing shaft. It will help you if you want to come back up and keep digging horizontally. You can shoot blocks to destroy them. I haven't tried this on ore, but dirt goes down fairly easily. You can use this to make a hole in a wall you can't land near, or upwards. While exploring caverns is fun, a single vertical shaft with horizontal branches will make sure you cover as much ground as possible. Mining horizontally every so often gets boring, but you can easily get away with horizontal passages whenever you see something interesting. Don't bother with the Offering Pit until much, much later. I recommend upgrading/crafting in this order: Pickaxe -> Container / Helmet -> Jetpack / Boots Weapon crafting isn't that important. The standard pistol will last you through any mining encounters, but extra firepower makes bosses a whole lot easier. You will find boss areas, made of unbreakable gray stone. The doors are locked, but can be opened by finding a nearby thing. These are rarely more than a screen away from the special zones. The things from above that you find stand on an unbreakable stone base. Standing on the left- or right-most stone of these bases will save you some time. You'll see what I mean. The revolver is pretty much the best weapon, alongside the pistol. The rest are situationally wonderful. There are some bugs, unfortunately. Lots. A shot or two with the pistol will get rid of them! While digging a single shaft downwards, I recommend making horizontal offshoots "arrow"-shaped. Here's a spoiler-free picture example: http://oi57.tinypic.com/mmqrl.jpg. Single-block-high tunnels are much more difficult to fly into. Dying or running out of fuel will cost you your inventory... Make sure you empty it before boss fights! |

Get A Load Of This Bitch Who Suffers From Misophonia: The "Hatred Of Sound"
ABC - For 19-year-old Emma Riehl, attending her college classes is a form of torture. But she doesn't blame the subject matter or the homework. Riehl lives with a rare and still mostly unknown condition called misophonia. Meaning "hatred of sound," misophonia makes it difficult to tolerate everyday sounds such as chewing, coughing, even breathing. Those who have it find the noises so intrusive they can't remain in the same area as the person making them. Unlike people who find these noises merely irritating, people with misophonia have an extreme reaction that often leads to lives of isolation. The specific sounds of sniffling and chewing make Riehl feel anxious, distressed and violent. In her video diary, she describes her daily struggle to overcome the rage she feels whenever she hears these "trigger" sounds. 'Immediately after hearing one of my triggers, I become enraged, I become very hot, tingly, anxious,' she explained in her video diary assigned by ABC News' 20/20. 'There are about 25 kids in this class, and five of them have colds, so it's pretty hard for me to deal with.' Unable to participate in the typical college social scene, she lives alone and constantly wears headphones. There is no cure for misophonia, but Riehl believes that eating a healthy diet and keeping to a strict schedule of exercise help her ease the stress caused by her condition. Although there has been limited research, some experts believe misophonia has a genetic link and could result from a neurological defect.
So let me get this sraight – this bitch hears sick people sniffling snot all over the place and fat people breathing heavy and slobs chewing like a horse and she "hates" it? Yea toots no fucking kidding. There's about 6 billion people on the planet who suffer from that disease. I also hate when I'm chewing potato chips and can't hear the television over the crunch and I hate nails on a chalkboard and silverware squeaking on a plate but you don't see me putting on a pair of headphones and hiding in my room like some sort of special needs tard, do you?
I'll tell you what though, if I go to college with this chick I am putting in the work to bang her for sure. I'd strap on a pair of headphones and hang out in silence with her pretending to be some pain in the ass misophonia victim until she wanted to try and have some silent sex with me. You know how many weird noises there are when you fuck? Balls slapping off butt cheeks and asses slapping off stomachs and grunting and moaning. That would drive this broad fucking insane. Get her "hot and tingly and anxious" and rile her up to the point that she straight up hate fucks me. Just fuck the shit out of my loud inconsiderate dick. Its a win-win really – you live the rest of your life with her in silence and then during sex she hate fucks your dick off. Broads with misophonia are the perfect girlfriends.

Abraham Lincoln Writes to Defeated Rival Cassius Clay as "The Humblest of All Whose Names Were Before the Convention"
- 1
If Lincoln's humility, in running for the presidency, was a bedrock characteristic, it was in part because he understood how it might seem he had so little to be boastful about. At fifty, without family tradition or wealth or even much schooling; without ever having held an administrative office; without a public position for over a decade – and that, a scant term in the Congress; without influential friends in the electorally crucial East: he was certainly the least favored, or likely, candidate. Facing him, straight off, in the contest for the Republican nomination, were a field of better known, and better qualified, leaders. There was the former governor and senator from New York, the adroit William Seward; the "Czar" of Pennsylvania, Senator Simon Cameron; Ohio's ambitious ex-governor now Senator, Salmon P. Chase; and Missouri's elder statesman, and Greeley favorite, Edward Bates. A second tier, too, rose up against Lincoln. The defeated 1856 nominee, John C. Fremont, was running, and his running mate, too; radical Ben Wade of Ohio tried to rival Chase; and the fiery abolitionist, Cassius Clay of Kentucky, to whom Lincoln writes here, believed his chances good. Yet it was Lincoln, surprisingly, who won the prize – and here, less than a week after receiving the nomination, he reaches out to his former, better-known rival, to secure it. Yours of the 21st. is received, and for which I sincerely thank you - The humblest of all whose names were before the convention. I shall, in the canvass, and especially afterwards, if the result shall devolve the administration upon me, need the support of all the talent, popularity, and courage, North and South, which is in the party; and it is with sincere gratification that I receive this early indication of your unwavering purpose to stand for the right. Clay held out the hope that, for his support, Lincoln would reward him with a cabinet position, and duly lobbied (see Lincoln to Mrs. Chase, August 29, 1860) – but Lincoln knew better. Clay was a troublemaker, and he sent as far away as possible: to Russia, as Minister. He caused trouble there, and came back, and caused trouble at home, and went back, and caused trouble again, but remained in St. Petersburg, ultimately, until 1869. Clay, Lincoln remarked in 1862, always had "great deal of conceit and very little sense."
Autograph Letter Signed ("A. Lincoln"), 1 page, octavo, Springfield, May 26, 1860. To Cassius Marcellus Clay.

Sleep Hack: No More Alarm Clocks
Given that I cut the amount of sleep I need by 2 hours per day, you might expect that I have a loud alarm clock and a rigid sleep schedule without a social life. All of these could not be further from the truth.
Some days I go to a club and get home at 5am. I sleep soundly until 10:30am or so, wake up, and then have my nap around 5pm (thanks to circadian rhythms). My biphasic sleep schedule means that I recover from the night faster than my friends despite sleeping less. None of this messes with my schedule – the next day I'm ready to go workout and go to class at 7am despite not using an alarm clock. I've yet to miss a class or other appointment.
(above: a mid day nap in downtown Los Angeles)
1. No More Alarms
Not needing an alarm clock is a valuable asset in sleeping better.
When you wake up naturally you tend to do so at the highest point in your REM cycle, meaning that you feel more awake and alert.
As this article on weening off an alarm clock suggests, a consistent schedule in the beginning is very useful. However the first and most important part is to establish a good "internal clock." I'd add the following essential tips:
- Perform "grounding exercises," similar to those used for learning lucid dreaming. Just try to guess what time it is periodically through the day and then check your guess. You'll notice you get better quite quickly.
- Before going to bed, make note of the current time, the amount of time you'd prefer to sleep, and the time you want to wake up. Use an alarm as a backup at first in case you miss your goal by more than a half hour or so.
- After waking up, compare your actual time to desired time.
- If possible, keep a sleep journal.
- When you wake up for the first time, get out of bed right away and start the day (unless it is far too early). If you trust your body when it says it is ready you will be more alert. If you lounge in bed (eg "trying to go back to bed") I promise you will spend the day miserable and tired.
Note: don't get hung up on the time on the clock or your results. The goal is to develop awareness, not anxiety.
2. Anywhere
Once you're confident in your ability to wake up as needed, you can add in the additional variable of changing your sleep location. I've learned to sleep in public, next to active fire stations, with an open window facing a crowded street and much more. I've even taken an emergency cat-nap in the middle of a full-scale fraternity party. It will be uncomfortable at first and you certainly don't desire these situations, but when they arise you will be able to sleep comfortably through them.
3. Anywhen
Now that your ability to maintain a good sleep schedule is location independent you can learn to shift when you sleep as needed. At first your training from #1 will kick in and you'll wake up at your normal time regardless. Use the same tricks to determine when you want to wake up and train your body to sleep the appropriate amount of time.
Do not use an alarm clock in this phase. If you do, you will train your body to be reactionary rather than proactive.
Going Forward
Unfortunately, these are all skills which can be lost if not practiced. If I don't go out for a few months and suddenly go to a bar, then return home at 5am I will often wake up at 7am regardless. Thankfully the skills, once learned, come back very quickly (usually after just two attempts or so).
Have you managed to get rid of your alarm clock? How did it go? Let me know your thoughts below!
