Why can't we be friends!? It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, or a star-eat-star world in the case of Hollywood, with the biggest celebs in the biz like Justin and Taylor lashing out at one another in VERY public ways.
In the celebrity world, you better watch what you say, because it's going to get back to whoever you're trashing and they're just going to fire back in an ever fiercer way or give you the cold shoulder for the rest of your life. Need proof? Just take a look at these crazy celebrity fights!
Jennifer Lawrence & More: Outspoken Celebs Collide
Celebrity feuds can start many different ways, but the most surefire way is to follow an honest, outspoken star like Lorde and especially Jennifer Lawrence. That girl ain't afraid to speak her mind. Though her feud with Kristen Stewart was really just a case of people pitting Twilight against The Hunger Games, JLaw has actually had some harsh words for other celebrities. Such as:
On Joan Rivers and Fashion Police: "Shows like the Fashion Police and things like that are just showing these generations of young people to judge people based on things [that don't matter]. They put values in all the things that are wrong and [show] that it's ok to just point at people and call them ugly and call them fat and they call it fun."
On Miley Cyrus' twerking: "It is a part of the entertainment industry that sells. Sex sells, and for some disgusting reason young sex sells even more."
Justin Bieber Vs. Taylor Swift: The Ultimate Celebrity Feud
But there is no feud more heated than the one between Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. The two singers have butted heads frequently throughout 2013, all because of Selena Gomez. Justin wants Selena, while Taylor, the BFF, wants nothing more than for Selena to stay the heck away from Justin.
"Taylor hates him," a source told Us Weekly on Aug. 15. "She thinks Selena makes a mistake every time she reconciles with him."
Justin finally had enough of Tay Tay talking in his ex's ear, so he took the feud into her arena — music! Justin released "All Bad" on Nov. 11, a song that totally lacked subtlety in the way it went after Taylor, with lyrics like "You know females/And how they like to run their mouths."
As if the diss wasn't obvious enough, Justin then retweeted a fan who wrote, "I think Justin was shading Taylor in #AllBad." Because this fight will never end, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "She has heard the song, and she is definitely going to respond at some point."
Now THAT'S how a celebrity feud is done! What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Which celeb feud is your favorite?

Well let's put this thing in a situation, ok, so you were SELENA GOMEZ! and of course you have a BOYFRIEND(JUSTIN BIEBER) & have a best friend(TAYLOR SWIFT)! so who do TRUST among the Two? THE BOYFRIEND or THE BEST FRIEND? WE ALL KNOW THAT TAYLOR SWIFT IS LOYAL TO SELENA AS HER SUPPORTIVE BEST FRIEND AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY TRUST EACH OTHER WHILE, JUSTIN BIEBER IS JUST A BOYFRIEND OF HER! AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER, BASE ON THE VIDEO UPLOADED BY "HOLLYWOOD LIFE", THERE ARE SO MANY CONFLICTS ABOUT THE LOVE LIFE BETWEEN THE TWO LOVERS! JUST LIKE JUSTIN SLEEPS WITH A SEXY GIRL WHO IS NOT SELENA GOMEZ & MANY MORE ISSUES ABOUT HIM! IS IT NOT SO RIGHT TO PERFORM THAT EVEN IF YOU'RE ON A RELATIONSHIP OTHERS! SO BASE ON WHAT HAPPENS, TAYLOR AS HER FRIEND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT SELENA, YES, THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS DO OF COURSE!

Justin is right. Taylor is so out of control and spoiled that someone has to tell her off.
She puts herself into other people's businesses.
No man will like to be with Taylor. She is jelous and controlling..
Justin you deserve much better woman than Selena..
Justin, take your time and time will give you a wonderful woman whom you will create your family.
You do not want to be with these manipulating show girls…. Selena used you….

On sunday I bought themselves a Alfa Romeo from having made $5637 this month. its the best-job Ive ever had.It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don't check it out BUZZ95.COM
i wish i never knew Jennifer L has this kind of personality. she may be blunt and honest, but it kind of turn me off, in a way, and with her hairstyle, which of course was okay with her, but seems like copying someone. i may not able to enjoy the hunger games now. it was really good without knowing Liam was Miley bf at that time,( i really didn't know it was him, all i knew before that she was in a relationship) nor Jennifer is like this. its really more enjoyable to watch without knowing all of these.

People From Venus Frontman Makes Short Film Ball of Love
Categories: Film and TV
So it's little surprise that the latest installation in the group's extended family oeuvre is a short narrative film, Ball of Love, starring Isaac and his girlfriend, writer/actress/fashion designer Tammy Aida Diaz, and shot entirely on iPhones. "I had been going out alone with my iphone camera and a flashlight through alleys and inside clubs and kind of documenting emotions. It inspired me," says Isaac.
When he and Diaz turned the camera on each other, Ball of Love was eventually born. The quarter-hour result is a sort of gonzo self-love story set on the streets of downtown and South Beach -- uh, and partially in another dimension -- and soundtracked by People From Venus, naturally.
But its free-form spirit of experimentation struck a chord with the selection panel for the Raindance Film Festival, a huge alternative festival in the U.K. who's hosted figures like Anton Corbijn, Iggy Pop, and Quentin Tarantino.
Ball of Love will screen at the event in London in late September -- but you can catch it locally this Saturday at at O Cinema after the Wynwood art walk. The screening is a full-on event produced by Wasabi Fashion Kult and Mad Music, and features a full constellation of related artistic works.
There'll be an iPhone photography show, children's coloring books, Krelwear-designed stuffed animals, and more in a free wonderland that brings the film to life. Doors open at 7 p.m., the movie starts at midnight, and admission is free. Call 305-571-9970, or visit o-cinema.org.
Here's what Isaac and Diaz had to say about the film and the event.
New Times: First, what's the "ball of love" in the movie title?
Tammy Diaz: In the film we created a symbolic ball of love which we bury in the Earth with the intention of asking the planet for forgiveness and relieving us of yesterday with hopes for a better future. It's about making your dreams come true.
How did you two meet? Where did the idea for the story come from?
Paul Isaac: I met Tammy one evening on Lincoln Road, unexpectedly. We hit it off and we ended up going together to look at some paintings. The first time I saw her I knew she was special. Then all I wanted to do was capture her emotions on film.
We then had an event during this past Art Basel together. Tammy made a 3D live blog installation and People From Venus performed along with other artists working with various media. Soon after that, I made a short film called Ballerina starring Tammy. It was to a song People From Venus and Brett Thorngren wrote together called "Control."
Now we are boyfriend and girlfriend, and we do a lot of art. One night we sat on the carpet in a tiny room full of markers and paint and started to write on huge flash cards, and it eventually became the Ball of Love story.
Tammy Diaz: Kabbalah 1 also inspired us. We took the course together along with a UM film graduate, Hugo Torres, who also filmed a "making-of" about our project with hopes of creating a reality web series about our artistic lives. I had just completed the Life Mastery series with Tony Robbins and wanted to simplify what we learned together about the secret of life and share it with others.
The truth is, we started filming without having a story or knowing how to say what we learned. But the production company Mad Music backed our ideas so we were pushed to manifest something out of the nothing.

In medicine and biology, scatology or coprology is the study of feces.
Scatological studies allow one to determine a wide range of biological information about a creature, including its diet (and thus where it has been), healthiness, and diseases such as tapeworms. The word derives from the Greek σκώρ (genitive σκατός) meaning "feces".
A comprehensive study of scatology was documented by John Gregory Bourke under the title Scatalogic Rites of All Nations (1891). An abbreviated version of the work (with a foreword by Sigmund Freud), was published as The Portable Scatalog in 1994.[1]
In psychology, a scatology is an obsession with excretion or excrement, or the study of such obsessions. (See also coprophilia.)[citation needed]
In sexual fetishism, scatology (usually abbreviated scat) refers to when a person is sexually aroused by fecal matter, whether in the use of feces in various sexual acts, watching someone defecating, or simply seeing the feces. Entire subcultures in sexuality are devoted to this fetish.
In literature, "scatological" is a term to denote the literary trope of the grotesque body. It is used to describe works that make particular reference to excretion or excrement, as well as to toilet humor. A common example is John Dryden's MacFlecknoe, a poem that ridicules Dryden's contemporary, Thomas Shadwell. Dryden refers to him as "Thomas Sh--," deliberately evoking scatological imagery. In German literature in particular is a wealth of scatological texts and references, which includes such books as Collofino's Non Olet.[2] A case which has provoked an unusual amount of comment in the academic literature is Mozart's scatological humour.[citation needed]

Aneri wrote:That's the tough part, isn't it? Finding a balance. I consider myself a kind person or, at the very least, kinder than most. I know I tend to care about complete strangers more than I care for myself, probably a lot more than others would.
However, death doesn't affect me like it would for others. I feel saddned by the fact that the person or people leave the world, and I feel sorry for their family and friends, who have to live without them. But rarely do I feel sorry for the person. I guess it goes down to what I believe in, and I honestly think that those who die are probably better off. Sometimes I'll even go so far as envying them.
Heh, that in itself may be my defense mechanism, much like the one that keeps us from seeing two million children dying. Maybe it's our way to hang on to what little sanity we have left.
Heh, now I'll stop the random banter and poor psycho-analysis, as I think it has given me a headache. I really shouldn't ponder such things in the middle of the night XD
InDenialAboutEverything wrote:Well, there is the fact that we don't know what comes after death, and if what comes is something that warrants pity for the person going through it.
Also, I wonder if maybe the blur has to do not with psychological defense mechanisms but out of mental limits. I heard somewhere (have no idea if it's true) that the concious mind, the part that focuses and solves problems, can only focus on seven things at one time, while the subconcious is unlimited.
Maybe this is why when we think about it we can't focus on more then a few people when many die, but we can still have terrible nightmares about it.

EUGENE, Ore. — LTD buses were probably more packed than usual Wednesday as dozens of Business Commute Challenge participants hopped on to reduce road and highway congestion.
"The bus is so easy. I mean LTD is just a great service — they got good information out there. You can easily find how to get to where you're going," said Eric Gunderson.
Eric Gunderson is a partner at Pivot Architecture in downtown Eugene. He normally drives to work, but decided to switch things up Wednesday morning.
"Today I took the bus. The past two days I've ridden my bicycle, but since we do a lot of work with buses I wanted to kind of try different things this week," said Gunderson.
That thinking has sparked an increased interest in the business commute challenge. This year, the challenge involves more than 100 businesses and over 2,000 individuals.
"I drive to the park and ride that's in River Road or at Valley River and I take the bus to work every morning," said Theresa Maurer, Pivot Architecture Interior Designer.
Maurer's commitment is one reason why Pivot had 100 percent employee participation in the challenge last year, and they're close to that mark this year.
"I think there's a couple people out of town and as soon as we get them back in the office we're going to make sure that they're walking, riding their bike, or on the bus," said Gunderson.
Wednesday marks the half-way point of the business commute challenge. While some businesses are first-timers, other say it's now a way of life.
"Almost everyone is using alternate transportation and it's just kind of a daily life for us here," said Maurer.
It was a party for all the folks who are busing, biking and walking to work for the Business Commute Challenge Wednesday morning.
Organizers said throughout the 2 hour event at the LTD Bus Station in downtown Eugene, about 70 people showed up to get fresh bagels and a cup of joe.
Event coordinators said they're glad to see some many people excited about choosing alternative modes of transportation.
"The participation is really up. We're at double or right close to double, where we've been before. Last year we doubled to ge to where we were last year, so it exponential growth," said Paul Adkins, Business Commute Challenge Event Coordinator.
On Friday morning starting at seven there will be two more breakfast parties. One in Eugene at the DeFazio Foot Bridge and another in Springfield on the north bank of the river path near Aspen Street.
There's still time to get involved in the challenge. To get connected or find more resources click here.

How mail-in ballots might confuse polls - and Election Day results
Increasing numbers of Americans can vote by mail or absentee ballots. This makes it harder for polls to gauge who the winner might be and means some close races might not be called for days.
Ted S. Warren/AP
Election Day is more than two weeks off, and anything can happen in many key races that could determine the shape of the next Congress.
But millions of Americans already are able to vote, and many of them have marked their ballots as Election Day turns into "election month" across much of the country. More and more states are making it easier to file absentee ballots, and many states are allowing mail-in ballots to be postmarked (not just received) on Election Day.
This prolongs ballot counting, which means that in close races it could be days after voting stops before some races are decided. The practice can also throw off pre-election polls – those closely-watched indicators used to shape last-minute campaigning.
Take the US Senate race in Washington State, where three-term incumbent Democrat Patty Murray is in the fight of her life against Republican Dino Rossi.
Since 1993, voters there have been able to vote by mail, and ballots are mailed out at least 18 days before the tally begins. King County, which includes Seattle, switched to all-mail voting last year.

cook your lobsters for you to take back to the house.

We had the expected very nice stay. The room was presentable, and the staff was courteous. Thanks for a great stay for our vacation.
My family has been coming to the Flamingo since my grandson was 1 year old. I remember him sitting on the sand with his little bucket and shovel. He is now 22 and engaged and I look forward to coming back year after year with his little ones. This is a great place to stay and a wonderful place to make happy memories. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
wonderful stay. Very clean, couldn't have wanted more. Your staff is very friendly and accomadating. Our housekeeper was Ginnie , and as always she was excellent.

I have stayed at the flamingo in ocean city three times now. It's to the point I don't even shop around for a different hotel. Everyone is always nice and the rooms are always clean and comforting. It is in a great location. Anything you would need is right next to you. I will stay many more times as my wife and I are always very pleased with the service and rooms. Thank you
Shawn H.
We had a great time just wish it had been longer. The Flamingo is our place to stay and has been for many years. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful.The rooms are clean and comfortable. Looking forwad to our next trip in Aug. See you soon.
Katherine B. - Maryland
Had a wonderful stay. I stay at the Flamingo every year. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else it is a nice family oriented hotel..I love the kitchenette room and usually stay in one of those every summer. I love the fact that it is clean and in walking distance of the beach and other attractions and bus stops. I love that there is 2 pools here so you have a choice and if it rains you can go to the indoor one. I also feel safe at this hotel as there is mostly families that stay here.
Cindy L. - Maryland
Your staff is always so friendly and helpful! Everything in and around the motel is always well maintained and, in all the years that I have been staying at the Flamingo Motel, I have never been dissatisfied. Miss Sheila, our housekeeper on our recent trip, brightened our day with her smile and personality. I'll definitely be seeing you again soon!

Mammon, I believe, is an actual demon name in demonology and some of the Christian or Judaism stuff. I think he was known for greed or some such.

"Lotus Weave"
Youn Woo Chaa takes the traditional craft of wicker weaving to an art form by using portraiture to express the creativity put into his work. Chaa spent time in the Amazon Forest with the Tukano Indians who are skillful at this weaving. Chaa learnt first-hand the process of the work, from the harvesting of the plant that produces the reed, the Aruma, to the binding of the wicker with the cipo wood. The results are intricate renditions of an update on an ancient theme.

Statement of Wonderfulness
In Celebration of
Dining Services
It is my pleasure and honor to announce the 2005 Student Affairs award for the Dining Services. This individual was praised by her colleagues. They used words such as: "caring, dedicated, great listener, compassionate, and responsible" all tied up in the beautiful package called a "great sense of humor." This person serves as the staff coordinator for Dining Services and her duties include hiring student staff and training them as well as providing her services with student payroll. She has been very instrumental in the UHDS Safety Committee and the Student Orientation and Training Program.
This amazing individual is: ANITA JONES!!
When Anita's colleagues were asked how she demonstrated that she is the heart of Dining Services and has made a difference in the lives of students and staff, they had quite a lot to say! Here's some of what they shared with me:
Anita works the late shift and the students working during her shift – especially the students with a positive work ethic, have developed a wonderful relationship with Anita. There is usually a steady stream of students visiting her office. She knows all of them by name and shows them that she really cares about them by always being a ready listener. Anita is inspirational to the students as she encourages them to work through the trials they are dealing with at the time. Her goal is to see each student graduate, to reach their full potential and to be successful in life.
One of Anita's special gifts is the ability to work through difficult situations. When faced with a disciplinary issue, she serves as the student advocate, always backing her student employee and then working with them to resolve the problem.
Colleagues are always remembered on their birthdays because of Anita's thoughtfulness – even if she has to be a little sneaky to get them to come to their surprise party. One staff member shared that on her birthday, Anita came and told her that there was an irate customer who wanted to talk privately with both of them. Anita then led her to a meeting room where they were greeted with cheering staff members who Anita had invited to celebrate her special day. This is just one example, of Anita's caring attitude. Anita remembers everyone and leaves no one out, even using her own money if necessary to make someone else's day special.
Anita's sense of humor is always appreciated – just ask those attending the staff meeting where she proudly displayed her "Chicken Fish" creation. This is an inside joke – you had to be there.
Anita is very, very devoted to Dining Services. She wants Marketplace West to be successful and makes sure the staff has everything needed to make things run smoothly. She works many hours of overtime when she would rather be home with her family. I quote one of her co-workers who stated that "Anita does what it takes to get the job done – she's that kind of person."
Please join me in recognizing this special woman: Anita Jones

Preventing Falls In The Elderly: Where DPMs Can Have An Impact
At the same time, podiatric physicians should be cautious about using any recently marketed "devices" that purport to prevent falls in elderly patients. Using bilateral AFOs to treat musculoskeletal risk factors in elderly patients who have been identified at risk for falling has never been tested for safety and efficacy in preventing falls. Until this treatment has had testing via rigorous randomized clinical trials, our focus should be on implementing other interventions that peer-reviewed research has already validated.
It is important for the podiatric physician to recognize his or her role as a member of a healthcare team in treating this vital public health issue. By following sound, scientifically proven guidelines, there is significant opportunity for podiatric physicians to become key players on the fall prevention team, which will improve the quality of life of their elderly patients.
Dr. Richie is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Biomechanics at the California School of Podiatric Medicine at Samuel Merritt University. He is a Past President of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine. Dr. Richie is in private practice in Seal Beach, Calif.

Chuck Anderson's client list reads like a who's who of international brands.
Microsoft. Burton. Lupe Fiasco. Reebok. Chicago Marathon. Target. Under Armour. Kaskade. Vans. Mountain Dew. The list goes on.
But it didn't start there.
Taking full advantage of an extensive high school art program he was ready when community connections opened doors to start designing flyers for clubs he wasn't old enough to get in to. He continued to gather steam and started NoPattern when he was just 17. Eventually the time came to graduate high school he chose (with his parent's blessing) to forgo college to pursue the profession full time.
This past month we were lucky to have Chuck join us for a frank conversation on hard work, color, and experimentation. For this particular workshop the things said in Room 220 are best kept private but we'll boil down a few of the main things we learned during our time together:
- Network — get your name out there! — send lots and lots of e-mails to magazines, publications, blogs, companies whose work you like, and whose work yours would work well with.
- Get Involved — the world is a web and the the more connected you are the easier you are to find.
- Be bold.
- Persistence pays off.
- Be kind of annoying, but not that annoying

Cinderella (Fitinhof-Schell)
Ballets and revivals of Marius Petipa |
*Paquita (1847, *1881) |
Cinderella (aka Zolushka) is a ballet-féerie in three acts, with choreography by Enrico Cecchetti (Acts I and III) and Lev Ivanov (Act II), with the production being supervised under the counsel and instruction of Marius Petipa. Music is by Baron Boris Fitinhoff-Schell; the libretto is by Lidia Pashkova (ru: Лидия Александровна Пашкова) and Ivan Vsevolozhsky.
It was first presented by the Imperial Ballet on 17 December [O.S. 5 December] 1893 at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire. Principal dancers were Pierina Legnani (as Cinderella), Pavel Gerdt (as Prince Charming), Anna Johansson (as the Fairy Godmother/Good Fairy), Mathilde Kschessinskaya (as Odette, the stepsister), Maria Anderson (as Aloisa, the stepsister), Claudia Kulichevskaya (soloist in the Grand Pas d'action of Act II), Nikolai Aistov (as the King), and Alexei Bulgakov (as the Chamberlain).
- Revival by Lev Ivanov for the Ballet of the Moscow Imperial Bolshoi Theatre. First presented on 31 July [O.S. 19 July] 1898.
- Revival of Act II by Lev Ivanov for the Imperial Ballet, and especially for the farewell benefit performance of Pierina Legnani. First presented on 5 February [O.S. 23 January] 1900 at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre.
The famous variation in polka rhythm danced in the Mariinsky Theatre version of the "Le Corsaire Pas de Deux" is taken from Fitinhof-Schell's score for Cinderella.
Although the scenario of this work was greatly criticized by the St. Petersburg critics balletomanes for putting more emphasis on spectacle and dancing than on drama and story-telling, the production was still an enormous success, particularly with the début of the Italian ballerina Pierina Legnani, who according to one critic "swept all before her." The most celebrated scene was the ball in the Prince's castle in the second act, which included an elaborate Grand Pas d'action in the 19th century style for the characters Cinderella, the Prince, soloists, and the corps de ballet.
The premiere of this work in 1893 has the distinction of being the first performance of a ballet to ever have a ballerina perform 32 fouettés en tournant—by Pierina Legnani who danced the title role. The ballet historian Konstantin Skalkovsky, dance critic for the St. Petersburg Gazette during the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th century, reported on Legnani's feat: "in the last act Legnani positively outdid herself. When Emma Bessone danced the lead in "The Haarlem Tulip" she did 14 fouettés. In her variation Legnani performed 32 of them without stopping, and without traveling one inch! The public delightedly applauded the Ballerina and compelled her to repeat this variation as well. On the repetition she nevertheless did 28 fouettés. To count them became the favourite occupation of the public."

These exceptionally adjustable clamps are especially well-suited for clamping face frames to the cabinet carcass, and for edging shelves. Since they clamp to the front edge of the panels, the sky is the limit when it comes to cabinet depth, and they'll work even when the cabinet back is already attached. With quick-release acme threads, it's easy to adjust the clamp to wrap around wide stiles, whether the panel is flush with the edge of the frame or not. Non-marring pads ensure you won't dent the frames in the process. Light weight and compact, they're easy to move around and store. Clamp opens enough to clear a 5" wide frame (panel centered) or 3" wide frame (panel flush with edge). Patent Pending.

(Camera Obscura ) released Recorded in November 1997. Nic Dalton & John Encarnacao's experimental 50 minute cd specially commissioned by premier psych label Camera Obscura. Strangely immediate song fragments, loops and ambience, cut-ups, mantras and analogue strangeness...continuing on from Side Four of Godstar's Coastal. from Camera Obscura Bio: Love & Death are Australians Nic Dalton and John Encarnacao. We first came across the wonderment that these two musicians were capable of when we heard the little noticed experimental fourth side of the vinyl version of Godstar's Coastal album. "Where the fuck did that come from" soon turned into "when can we have more please", and thence to Can-Opened Mind, commissioned by us at gun-point. In it, they have constructed for us a rather indescribable 50 minute psychedelic collage that runs the gamut from Spence and Early Floyd to elephant 6 territory and back again several times during its baked evolution. Strangely immediate song fragments, loops and ambience, cut-ups and mantras and analog strangeness are seamlessly integrated. Blurred and altering, this is aural psylocybin from the antipodean undermind.

Ok, Here is my dilemna. (and unfortunately turning and running isn't a direct option or one i want to exercise just yet.. lol)
I have been seeing this woman for a few months or so and really like her and her kids. Her one downside is her bi-polar/crazy ex-husband. He has a few suicide attempts (none successful). HE left her for another woman but seems to not be able to get over her. He will be nice one phone call then nutty the next.Well his phone has been disconnected, cable also, about to be evicted from his apartment, his 'new' girlfriend is about as crazy as he is running between her husband and him. If I wasn't in it I would think Jerry Springer!
Well with no phone (and I could see it coming...he stops by unannounced repeatedly!) She has many threatening text messages and is getting a restraining order against him today (5-24) but is afraid, being a single mom, that this will push him over the edge and he will turn violent against her. I stayed with her last nite to give her a lil comfort since the cops were called yesterday due to his actions (and low and behold he cruised by when the cops were there!) she isn't 'against' guns but I left my weapon at home, against my better judgement, as her kids are very gun-ignorant. Of course if it is on me then they will never get to it...(but thats another story for another day) Mainly I didn't wanna be responsible for shooting/killing the kids dad if he made entry. I did have my pepper spray which I woulda used liberally at the first sign of him...mainly just for principal as it is "less than lethal" then dealt with any repurcussions from there. He needs to learn a lesson but I really don't wanna be the one to hafta teach it to him.!
We know the police are time and personnel strapped and mostly are not available for prevention but any advice on how to ease her mind, help her without me ending up in court/jail would be appreciated. As I said she is going for a T.R.O. today and I told her that has to be the first step...get LE on our side.

Expand all - Collapse all Review of Andreas Lindahl, submitted at 2008-01-20 21:25:40, score: 8/10 It's finally here! To say that I have been looking forward to this score is a huge understatement. As a fan of the Harry Potter books and the music of John Williams it has almost been painful to wait... So my expectations were high. Was it worth the wait? You bet! Although I don't love it, I really, really like it (as a friend, of course...) and I'm quite sure that Williams' score at least will get an Academy Award nomination. Who knows, John Williams might even walk home with a golden boy in his pocket.After having heard "Hedwig's Theme" in the trailers for the film, many expected the score for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or the Philospher's Stone) to be in the same style as the composers' wonderful score for Hook, and this is certainly one of the largest reasons so many have been looking forward to this score. And sure, the score for Harry Potter is in many ways similar to John Williams' music for Steven Spielberg's embarrasing Peter Pan flick. Similarities can for example be found in the orchestrations - this is classic Williams, the kind of sound that most people normally associate with the composer. It's brassy, melodic, upbeat, adventureous and lively, complete with swirling strings and woodwinds. While listening to Harry Potter it is also easy to think about the composers' scores for Star Wars and Home Alone. The score shares the playful woodwinds with the former score, and the warm Christmas sound with the latter, something achieved with the use of celesta, bells and wordless female choir.On to the thematic material, then. There is an abundance of themes in this score. Large and small they are all quite memorable, especially the theme for Hedwig, the beautiful music representing Harry himself and the extremely catchy and proud little march representing Hogwarts (that is my guess, anyway). I suppose that most of you are familiar with Hedwig's Theme, since it was used in the trailers and have been performed at several concerts prior to the films' release, with bootleg recordings of it floating around. It is used throughout the entire score and shows up in a large number of cues, sometimes performed by grand brass and other times by lush strings, or by subtle celesta. The extensive use of this theme makes me wonder if it is really only used to represent Harry's white owl. One part of the theme shows up in "Mr Longbottom Flies", for example, suggesting that this is the scores' "flying theme". It is certainly grand and glorious enough to be used as such.The theme for Harry himself is presented for the first time in the second track of the CD, "Harry's Wonderous World", which without doubt is one of the very finest cues this score has to offer. Harry's theme is simply wonderful. Consisting of two sections it starts with a lush string based part, followed by a more fanfare sounding, optimistic little ditty, revolving around a four note phrase and with orchestrations dominated by brass. Classic Williams. Had the entire score been like this, this soundtrack would have gotten 5 shiny stars. Not that the rest of the score is bad, but at times the mysterious, sneeking around music dominates a little too much. I suppose I wanted the score to be a little more adventurous and grand..."The Quidditch Match" is the scores' large action piece. Clocking in at over eight minutes this is a lively and bold piece, dominated by brass and percussion. More action can be found in "The Chess Game", which is a very militaristic cue, with tons of percussion, such as snare drum, timpani and xylophone, but "The Quidditch Match" holds the most memorable and entertaining action music on the album.Exellent Christmas music can be found in "The Norwegian Ridgeback and A Change of Season", with the latter part of the cue offering some really lovely music, reminding me of Hook and Home Alone. "Christmas at Hogwarts" is an excellent piece. Opening with bells and woodwinds it is soon followed by a small number of voices (the ghosts of Hogwarts perhaps?) singing a Christmas song in sotto voce, supported by eerie synths, which in turn is replaced by some great holiday inspired music.Although most of the score is far from original, some cues are actually quite unconventional, such as "Diagon Alley and The Gringotts Vault", which sounds like it is arranged for Renaissance - or at least really old - instruments, as well as fiddle and different flutes. "The Invisibility Cloak and The Library Scene" has some subtle, spooky synths representing Harry's invisibility cloak, while "Fluffy's Harp" is an amusing little duet for harp and bassoon.All in all, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone isn't exactly what I expected it to be, but it's darn close and it is certainly one of the best scores of 2001. Fans of Hook, Home Alone and Star Wars will probably appreciate this score. I'm rather sure that I will love it after hearing it in the actual film. Read other recent reviews by Andreas Lindahl: The Rocketeer, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, The Phantom of the Opera Review of Tom Daish, submitted at 2010-10-02 12:48:02, score: 8/10 The arrival of Harry Potter novels is to books, what the arrival of the next Star Wars films is to cinema - a media circus. As expected, the hype about the Harry Potter film has been intense with predictions of it making more money than the GNP of Africa. Whether this holds true or not remains to be seen, but the indications aren't bad and having John Williams at the scoring stage is some decent indication of its stature. For Williams to score this kind of film these days and it not be made by Steven Spielberg or George Lucas is something of a surprise. His general assignments have been well away from fantasy and so the fact that Williams is onboard is something of a coup.Before the score's release, Hedwig's Theme has been almost ubiquitous in the advertising, be it trailers or other merchandising plugs. The concert arrangement is featured at the end of the album, although it features in almost every track during the rest of the score so could be regarded as a fraction redundant at that stage. It's somewhere between a slightly malevolent lullaby and a burlesque waltz (although strictly speaking it's not in waltz time). It starts with twinkling celeste, but whipping up the orchestra into a vibrant danse macabre towards the finale. It is not an especially memorable theme by Williams standards, which given its heavy use throughout the score is probably a blessing since if it was utterly indelible, it would probably become a fraction more wearing than it does.Unlike The Phantom Menace which contained numerous outstanding set pieces, Harry Potter is a smoother listen with fewer obviously outstanding tracks. There are some of course; Harry's Wondrous World introduces what seems to be a fanfare for Harry (and possibly Hogwarts School) and is a definite spine tingling moment. The Quidditch Match features some broad action music, which while not as beautifully constructed as Williams action music of old, does set the excitement level quite impressively. The final few cues starting In the Devil's Snare depart slightly from the rest of the score with The Chess Game featuring some off kilter brass and percussion and The Face of Voldemort being considerably more sinister than even the darkest moments previously.Of course, being something of a children's fantasy, there are some comedic moments, but they are tempered from the slightly overdone Jar Jar music of The Phantom Menace and refuse to undermine the fairly serious tone of the score as a whole. Williams seems to have fun with little fanfares such as for Entry into the Great Hall, even if they do recall earlier works. In fact, lots of moments remind the listener of previous Williams scores, Hook and Home Alone particularly, although the atmosphere of Witches of Eastwick seeps through from time to time. I think it's the lack of a really strong identity that makes the score more disappointing rather than there actually being anything wrong with. Harry Potter is the kind of score that you can listen to without sitting up to notice something specific very often. Most scenes don't seem to have a distinct feel or the obvious themes of Hook or the Star Wars scores. Those often had a theme just for one scene, but that is not the case here, it's seemingly much more through composed. The choir is used prominently and bolsters the very broad feel to the writing. It does just about support the generous running time of the album and the slightly less in your face thematic material means there is perhaps more to discover on repeat listens than an equivalent Williams score from the 80's. Given the quality of his more serious works of late, I wonder if Williams is just a little burned out on fantasy. However, whatever one says, I doubt there are many composers around today who would have written such a rich and interesting score - even less than perfect John Williams is still ten times better than most contemporary film composer's works.

text: ROBERT PARKER 95 POINTS - "The exuberant 2007 Hermitage Blanc reveals notes of petroleum, crushed rocks, earth, white currants and peaches, an unctuous texture, high glycerin and good acidity. This big, thick white Hermitage will not be as long lived as the 2009, but for drinking over the next two decades, it is impossible to resist. Jean-Louis and Gerard Chave opened a bottle of the 2003 Hermitage Blanc to give me an idea of how this vintage is aging. This monumental offering, which flirts with perfection, has virtually no acidity and is aging beautifully. The Chaves believe it is a repeat of what Gerards father made in 1929."WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS - "Ripe and dense, but pure and beautifully rendered, with gorgeous mango, quince, fig and pear fruit flavors woven together and offset by quinine, paraffin and blanched almond notes. The finish just sings with fruit, minerality and a kiss of toast. Drink now through 2020. 1,244 cases made."

Washington, Feb. 16 (ANI): Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' divorce trial should begin in early May, a Superior Court Judge has announced.
The 32-year-old reality star had been urging the judge to set the trial so that her marriage to Humphries ends before July, when her child with boyfriend Kanye West is due to be born, Fox News reported.
Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon has set a May 6 trial date on Friday over the objections of Brooklyn Nets' forward's attorney.
The 28-year-old sportsperson's lawyer had sought more time to find evidence that might prove claims that the wedding should be annulled as it was fraud.
But two judges determined on Friday that Humphries had plenty of time to prepare.
Gordon also said that Humphries' status as a pro basketball player didn't entitle him to a delay until his playing season ended. (ANI)

Today was another day when I got into the car after school and sobbed. Away from the place where I have to put on my all-together face, I just can not take the pain anymore. Life is just so hard for me.
My friend Rose-God, I'm so mad at her, and I hate myself for it. She doesn't want me to start the GSA, and won't be honest with me about it. I kept on saying hit me with it, and all she said was: she didn't want people to know I'm gay because of how it will reflect on her. What, does she not want people to think she's my girlfriend, that she's gay, WHAT? She's not telling me! I just feel so alone at school, like no one wants me to start this GSA or be myself, loved and accepted and me....
So, I was hesitant with her all day, and I know she felt it, and I can't bear hurting her, because I can just tell she's noticing my coldness and sadness. Why, oh why, did I have to tell her?
But it will get better, I hope. I'm trying to tell myself it will get better. She'll come to terms with it somehow, she's still a good person.
I had a meeting with a cool priest at my church, who's helping me with the GSA. She's even agreed to come with me to a meeting with the administration. Today she said something, though, that really struck true with me: I have my organizer hat, that wants to start this GSA and get my coalition started and everything, and then then there's the newly come out me, who's vulnerable and tentative. God, how am I going to reconsile the two? Most people I guess don't come out and become somewhat of an activist right off the bat. How did I end up in this?
That's just who I am, really. I've always been a leader in my own way, and that part of me just took over, but stripped me bare in some places. When will my caloused hide become strong enough to fend off their blows?
Being a teenager sucks as it is. Being gay just makes it that one bit harder.
"Being a teenager sucks as it is. Being gay just makes it that one bit harder. "
I concur. If there's some way I can help, PM me. Big hug.
Thanks:). Ah, there's probably nothing much I can do now but wait, but thanks for offering!
I'm a bit more cheered up now, since my mom is letting me stay home from a field trip tomorrow to do stuff that'll make me happy. This'll probably involve bookstores, coffee, and independent movies.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

I wish I can be with you right now and help you with your problems and this GSA. I hope Rose will eventually think it through from seeing your determination and dedicationand and understand why you're doing this. Don't lose faith! There will be people who need this GSA, people who will support you with this GSA. Don't give up and let them down. You will eventually make a change to many teenager's life.

Thank you Uncertain, you've really cheered me up! Ah, it'll be so great when it's started, but it's so hard. But I won't give up, the GSA will happen.
Thanks again*hugs*.

Awwww man i wish i had someone like u around here whose motivated like you are to start a GSA at my school =( but... sadly theres none... i dont think n e one around here at my school would even begin to think about starting one or support it. *cry* why cant u live near me lol? oh well... and yes... it does suck to have to put on ur all-together face at school or for me 24/7 b/c i have to wear it at home or else my mom will say to me... (she is not one bit supportive) "you stopped taking your Paxil didnt you?" -.- i hate it every time im sad b/c i have to deal with my issue she freakin says something like that (or if i get irritated from something) oh well...
I want a hug :(
That sucks, I wish someone where you lived would start one too:(. It certainly is hard, but I think it'll be worth all the pain in the end. Everyone's support here is really helping a lot.
Ah, my mom also will sometimes say stuff like that, usually out of concern ("Did you forget your lexapro?" Me: "Yes!"). Though, that's awful you have to wear a mask at home-hopefully someday that'll change for you, at school or at home.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

(KMOV) --In a rare move, leftover taxpayer money is getting ready to be doled out to thousands of Wood River property owners.
The money was collected and invested for the Wood River Township Hospital, which shut down in 1998. For the $8.4 million stored for the hospital to be released to the public, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn had to sign a bill into law, Wednesday.
On average, property owners will get a check of about $400 to $450, according to one estimate.
"It'll be a nice little bonus," said Doug DePew who is on Social Security and owns a home on S. 9th Street.
Though DePew doesn't feel the deal is far for everyone in Wood River. That's because long-time homeowners who've been paying the hospital property and sales tax for decades will be getting the same as someone who just moved to town and hasn't paid a dime for the hospital.
The Wood River Mayor said hospital taxes date back more than 60 years.
The Madison County Clerk is in charge of distributing the checks, but there's some work to do before the cash is disbursed.
Since the final check that goes to property owners will be calculated based on the assessed value of a property in 2005, properties to-date may be divided up, combined, exempt or deleted. The Clerk said those values still have to be figured. There are about 270 unique parcels said Clerk Debbie Ming Mendoza.
The Hospital Board has 180 days to give the $8.4 million to the county treasurer. After that happens, she said it'll take her office about a month to distribute the money.
"We want to get it done and expedite it and expedite it as quickly as possible, once I get the word from the board," said Ming Mendoza.
For property owners to have the check by Christmas would be optimistic, said Ming Mendoza.
