Rihanna, you've decided to put your romance with Chris in your rear window. You more than gave it your best shot. Now it's time to forget him!
Rihanna – we've learned from an exclusive source, that you don't want Chris Brown back. And that's such a mature and right-on decision.
Rihanna, Any Man Would Be Lucky To Have You
"She's tired of this back and forth s–t (with Chris), a source close to you told HollywoodLife.com. She "wants someone that's going to be down for her and respect her… she's the most eligible girl in town."
Well Rihanna, that's the truth. You ARE the most eligible young woman in America — maybe in the world right now! You're smart, talented, super successful, career-focused, wealthy, gorgeous and sexy.
Any man would be beyond lucky to get a date with you. And not only are you a star in every way, you are also one kind, compassionate and thoughtful person.
You are always sweet and responsive to your fans, but you made an incredible gift to the people of your home country, Barbados.
You donated $1 million in memory of your beloved Gran Gran Dolly, to Queen Elizabeth Hospital to establish a radiotherapy department to help save the lives of other cancer patients.
In other words, for countless reasons, you are an incredible catch.
You Can't Help How Chris Feels
The fact that Chris has decided that he needs to be "single" now after all that you two have gone through to be together — is inexplicable.
But sometimes people do things that simply don't seem to make any sense.
And you can't control that. You can't control how Chris wants to "do it solo," and focus on being "the best Chris Brown" he can be right now.
He needs to do whatever he needs to do for whatever personal reasons that he has.
So you are very right to "not worry about that fool," according to the source. You have better things to do — A LOT better things to do.
I'm sure you're very disappointed that after all the "UNAPOLOGETIC" support and love you have given Chris, especially with the history that you two have, that he has chosen to go his own way.
He may very well still love you — but you can't waste time on him, if he can't commit to a monogamous relationship with you. You don't need the nonsense of any sort of love triangle with he and Karruche Tran.
You are very mature to have taken the attitude that you "let him go and [you] wish Chris well," according to our source.
Rihanna: You're Smart To Take Time Finding A New Man
Rihanna — we hear that you are feeling good, that you want a little time to yourself and aren't ready to jump into a new relationship, and that's smart too.
You should take your time. "If someone comes across her path, and they're both feeling it, then she'd make a move," another source close to you told us. But you're not "searching" for anybody. "She's not thirsty, thats all, " explains the source.
Good strategy.
Rihanna — you already know it and we at HollywoodLife.com support you. You gave Chris a second chance. He's just not ready to give you what you need, so it's time for you to stop wasting another minute on a man that isn't willing to thank his lucky stars he's with you.
Do YOU agree, HollywoodLifers? Is Rihanna smart to leave Chris behind? Let me know!

Check out what PEREZ have to say about Chris girl Karruchue. Hey Chris Brown we bet your own again lover Karruchuee Tran doesn't have her very own currency. Chris going to need something and maybe him and his dad will figure it out. By the way he acts and carry himself I wouldn't buy any song he put out. Then the drag queen KIKI on here keep trying to defend him by talking about Rihanna. You are taking Chris down dummy.

Bonnie you crack me up. It must be a slow day for hollywood life when the international star Rihanna is in Morocco performing and not entertaining us on Twitter or Instagram. I know how you feel I'm having withdrawals too but I know she's busy working. So to entertain yourself you write a dear Rihanna letter recapping the weeks story. You mean to tell me you have nothing to report on chris and groupie Karruche. Nothing news worthy? Shows how relevant they are. I have an idea that would be news worthy – find some of her exes to get the dirt on her or find out about her groupie days.
who are those so called SOurce? that know so much about what Rihanna or Chris brown said. Rihanna will found someone else by the summer time or somewhere in september. she wished Chris breezy & karrueche well if they are back together NO hard feeling I've no idea why do some of the people still think that Riri & Cb will get back together soon or whenever.

Well stated/written article. I personally know all 3 parties. Bottom line… Chris Brown is an Immature, lying, cheating manipulative boy that is too blind and dumb to see the homies(OHB) and Karrauche uses him as their Financial,Social and Career CRUTCH! His own mother tries to bring these this leech issue to his attention. However, he ignores her advice. Instead he saying he's committed to his crew ( OHB). The member of his crew, young healthy and are all unemployed and follows him around acting like they to are celebrities. Chris Brown has a big heart, gives freely. Hence, his crew and others around him takes advantage kindness meanwhile inflating his ego…sad. I hope he does not wind up( bankrupt) like the other celebs …MC Hammer etc..

@Girl Boo: Same goes for Rihoes fans you dumb hoe. They want to blame everything on Kae, Karizma, and Chris instead of having Rihoe take responsibilities for her own stupid actions. Hoeing around, talking to exes, stripping, partying, boozes, clingy ness, and putting everything in public on Instagram, twitter instead of using a damn phone to talk things out. Who wants that? No wonder the girl is always single!!!! Lol

And dont be mad at Coo Coo/Kiki below, (she/he has multiple usernames)……….wait que kiki……."Dont mention my name"……..hun your spelling has come along way….but more importantly here's a tip Make your money babe but you might try the corner/pole/cb's dick you may get there faster.
first of dumb bish, you claim to come up on here often, so why not just post in your usual user id name?? instead of using a fake one to come on here, & try and dish me.
Change my user id for what exactly? you stupid bytch, as ever since I have been on this website I have continuously posted in my one use id.as unlike bytches like oneself, I don't fear none of you on here)
who's says these females where Brezzy's other sidekicks? cus apart from seeing pics of them in Breezy house,what other info do you have confirming what you claim ? sweet fanny all .
And like I have said before, and will say again as it seems you don't hear, I am not a Kae or Chrae stan, so whether Kae and Chris are infact an item again I really could not give two hoots. Bytch there was nothing wrong with my spellings in the first place, as everybody make errors while typing
Big up to Rihoe, WHOOPIE DO! all her fame and wealth and glory, but yet at the end of the day all her riches could not gain the one mans love she truly wanted …HA HA. so take a seat & sit and swivel on it honey.
Posted at 9:26 PM on May 24, 2013
Whoa yes im definitely new to this….lol….Im crackin up over here. I dont have a usual name…..my first post silly billy. I pay my own way so I cant come here to run my name down the comments. The one she wanted, delusional much? Everyone has loved and lost babygirl but to watch your dreams go down the toilet. Chris better tell Rooster to start filling out stylist applications for kendrick, drake, and john wall (Bands make your girl go down) cause theyre going to need a back up plan soon. Use her for a clothing line and an album? Its not looking too good. Damn shame Fine China mightve made it to the top 20….lol

Oh please! Where is the proof that Chris was "giving it everything he had"? There is not one iota, one shred of evidence that supports this preposterous claim! The only LOSER in this situation is Chris himself. He's walking around looking (again!) like a zombie and ranting on twitter. Rihanna will go on to find a MAN who is willing and able to meet her needs. This CHILD is NOT ready for a monogamous and RESPECTFUL relationship. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. That means you my dear.

I'm with you @Candace. These people act like they know everything that went on…as if they were a fly on the wall, and they really don't know. Ri & CB was in a relationship and it didn't work. It happens! It doesn't make either one of them bad people. Plus, though they are not together the Love is still there. That doesn't disappear overnight. And Rihanna fans trying practicing " one love". It's all about positive vibrations. Peace!!!
@candace He never gave her everything he had. Rihanna on the other hand more than gave it her best shot. She has nothing to regret. He has always been a player and a cheater. He has kae at his feet. She is the jumpoff, the last resource cuz he wants to fool around with women and have a girlfriend at the same time. He just can't be monogamous and that is why rihanna got fed up with him. How can you say he gave it his best shot?

"Food prices are dropping, which is great, but its entirely too early to say that the food crisis is over," says Marcus Prior, a spokesman for the UN's World Food Program (WFP) in Nairobi, Kenya.
He points out that the food crisis is taking its greatest toll on sub-Saharan Africa, where 1 in 3 people were already estimated to be chronically hungry before the crisis. Last year, staggering food inflation added another 24 million people to the total of malnourished.
"We've seen people have to make decisions, taking their children out of school … so the children can help with work," says Mr. Prior, adding that Somalia, northern Kenya, northern Uganda and Ethiopia are among the hardest hit, because of conflict, drought, and successive harvest failures.
In Southern Africa, many subsistence farmers already suffer from high rates of HIV/AIDS. The food crisis has made them particularly vulnerable. "They can't produce as much because they're spending their resources on healthcare," says Richard Lee, a WFP spokesman in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe has emerged as a flashpoint, with the UN already feeding four million people there. Money is running out, and the UN fears a full-scale humanitarian crisis by January. "The problem in Zimbabwe is [lack of] access to any food," says Mr. Lee. "People in rural areas, some of them harvested nothing, some of them harvested very little. It's a very serious situation."

Virginia Beach Navy jet crash: No loss of life in 'Good Friday miracle'(+video)
The crash of a Navy jet fighter in a residential neighborhood in Virginia Beach, Va. apparently resulted in no fatalities and few injured. Gov. Bob McDonnell calls it 'an act of divine providence.'
A day after a Navy jet crashed in Virginia Beach, Va. – burning several apartment buildings and sending dozens of residents to shelters – officials believe there's been no loss of life. By Saturday morning, officials reported no one missing, although they continued to search the destroyed and damage buildings for visitors or other nonresidents who might have been there.
Seven people were injured, including the two pilots who barely made it out of their stricken aircraft before it became a fireball, but none seriously and all but one (one of the pilots) had left hospitals. Some 40 apartment units were damaged or destroyed. Three persons listed as missing Friday night had been found.
A full investigation is likely to take months, but Navy officials now say the F/A-18D Hornet fighter jet experienced a "catastrophic mechanical malfunction" shortly after taking off from the Oceana Naval Air Station.
At takeoff, aircraft typically are full of fuel, making them very heavy. (The F/A-18D, the Navy's leading strike aircraft with years of combat experience, was not carrying any weapons on this training flight.)
"Catastrophic engine system failure right after takeoff, which is always the most critical phase of flying, leaves very, very few options," aviation safety expert and retired Marine Corps aviator J.F. Joseph told the Associated Press. "You literally run out of altitude, air speed, and ideas all at the same time."
As soon as the pilots realized their difficulty, they turned back toward the airfield (about two miles away), dumping fuel to reduce weight in hopes that they could reach the runway and land safely.
When the aircraft continued to lose altitude, the pilots – a student pilot in the front seat, a very experienced instructor pilot in the back seat – waited until the last moment before ejecting. One of the pilots was still strapped into the ejection seat when it hit the ground.

Concern that the global financial turmoil isn't over led Japan's benchmark stock market index to the second-steepest plunge in its 59-year history Thursday. The Nikkei average declined 11.4 percent, leading a broad-based downturn across the Asian-Pacific region. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index fell 7.6 percent. Australia's most widely watched average closed 6.7 percent lower. South Korea's and India's main indexes both slid 4 percent. Meanwhile, in electronic trading, the per-barrel price of crude oil for November delivery was at a 14-month low and at half its peak of last July.
The two largest dairies in China said they'll merge their milk- collection operations for better quality control amid ongoing fallout over the melamine scandal. But despite the pledge, the government said 5,800 children remain hospitalized more than a month after drinking tainted formula. Three lawsuits have been filed against the company at the center of the scandal, but lawyers for the plaintiffs told the Agence France-Presse news agency it isn't clear whether the courts will allow any to come to trial. They also said authorities have warned them against taking such cases.

Recycled Bedpost Pumpkins
Sure, these Recycled Bedpost Pumpkins may not look like tradition gourds, but that doesn't mean they can't decorate your porch throughout fall. Primitive wood crafts give your space a rustic feel. Use recycled wood to create this showstopping craft.
- Old bedposts and spindles
- Chop saw (miter saw)
- Measuring tape
- Sandpaper
- Orange acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- 3 rusty nails
- Hammer
- Craft glue
- Burlap scrap
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Baling wire
- Wire cutters
- Needle nose pliers
- 3 small fall silk leaves
- Manila folder
- 1/2-inch letter stamps
- Brown ink pad
- Crochet thread
Cut a 9, 11, and a 17 inch length from old bedposts and/or spindles. Each post or spindle will be one pumpkin.
Lightly sand the posts/spindles to rough up a smooth finish. My posts/spindles were pretty weathered and didn't require this step.
Paint each cut spindle using orange acrylic paint to transform them into pumpkins. Allow the paint to dry. Apply a second coat if desired.
Lightly sand the surface of each pumpkin to distress.
Pound the tip of an old rusty nail in the top of each pumpkin for the stems. If rusty nails are not available, drill a small hole in the tops to insert and glue a small bit of rusty wire or a small stick from your yard.
Stand all of the pumpkins and cluster them together. Connect them together using craft glue. Allow the glue to dry.
Locate the center of the shortest pumpkin and measure around the circumference of the entire pumpkin cluster. Add 1 inch to this measurement. Cut a burlap strip 2-1/2 inches wide by the circumference measurement. Fray a 1/4 inch fringe on each long edge. Wrap the strip around the pumpkin cluster, overlap the ends and attach using hot glue.
Cut a piece of baling wire 12 inches longer than the burlap length using wire cutters. Center the wire over the burlap and wrap it around the pumpkin cluster. Twist the ends together at the front to secure. Grasp one end of the wire with the tip of needle nose pliers. Wrap the end around the tip to curl. Repeat with the other end.
Hot glue a small fall silk leaf to the top of each pumpkin.
- Cut a 1-3/4 inch wide by 3 inch long rectangle from an old manila folder. Diagonally trim off the corners on one short end. This is the top of the tag. Punch a hole in the center top of the tag using a paper punch. Stamp "PRIM PUMPKINS" on the tag using 1/2 inch letter stamps and brown ink. Insert crochet thread through the tag's hole and tie the ends around one pumpkin.

Hōkū Christian Ho (born June 10, 1981), known simply as Hoku, is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and actress. She is the daughter of noted Hawaiian entertainer Don Ho. Her most popular singles are "Another Dumb Blonde," "How Do I Feel," and "Perfect Day."
Contents |
Hoku was born on the island of Oʻahu in the state of Hawaiʻi, to Patti Swallie and Don Ho. She is the seventh of Ho's 10 children; his union with Swallie, who used to sing in his show, produced another daughter, Kaimana Grace. Hoku's name means "star" in Hawaiian.[1][2] She is of European, Polynesian and Asian American ancestry: Chinese, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Dutch and German descent on her father's side and Hawaiian and Caucasian descent on her mother's side.
Hoku attended Waikiki Elementary school then continued on to La Pietra: Hawaiʻi School for Girls in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi and briefly studied business at Point Loma Nazarene University[3] in San Diego, California, but left during her first semester.
Hoku's debut single "Another Dumb Blonde", which was certified Gold, appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Snow Day. She later appeared on a Nickelodeon special with many other stars, such as Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Sean Combs, and Aaron Carter. She also performed as a top billing performer in all of the Radio Disney Live! 2001 World Tour concerts across the United States.
In 2000, she released her self-titled, debut album. In 2001 she recorded the song "Perfect Day", which was used as the theme song to the feature film Legally Blonde. This song was later featured in both JCPenney and Sandals Resorts commercials.
Hoku was scheduled to record a second albulm with Geffen,[4] but it would never happen. Hoku soon parted ways with her label, Geffen Records, because she did not want the image that the company created for her, which she felt went against her beliefs.[citation needed] Hoku decided to take a break from the music industry and was not heard from for five years.
Hoku lives in Orange County, California with her husband Jeremy Clements (married in 1999)[citation needed] and their two children. Hoku gave birth to her second child in 2011. She often returned to Hawaii to perform with her father at his Don Ho Show at the Waikīkī Beachcomber Hotel in Honolulu, before he died in 2007.
With her husband, Hoku formed independent label Ola Vista Records in 2006; shortly thereafter released Listen Up, a five-song EP to the iTunes Store. Song titles included "If You Don't Want My Love", "Saturday Morning", "All I Need", "Closer", and "Listen Up".
In a blog post to her MySpace profile in July 2008,[5] Hoku stated that she had recorded many more songs than could be released on Listen Up and that additional tracks would be released on a future as-yet-untitled EP. As of January 2011, no further information has been released on her official sites.

Thanks, I would love to add Ronan March to the list but hubby wasn't so keen on it- otherwise it is my fav boy name..
Frederick was just a name i like as i couldn't really find another middle name for Roman. I agree Gabriel also seems to stand out on the list but I love the name.

Source: Logan White to meet with Mets
Los Angeles Dodgers assistant general manager Logan White will be formally interviewed by the New York Mets for their vacant general manager's position on Friday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Neither White nor Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti -- who would have had to grant permission for the Mets or any other club to interview White because he is still under contract with the Dodgers -- would confirm White has an interview with the Mets, nor would either of them comment on the matter in any way.
More on the Dodgers
For more news, notes and analysis of the Dodgers, check out ESPNLA's Dodgers Report. Blog
White also interviewed last month for the GM job with the Arizona Diamondbacks, as did Dodgers assistant GM DeJon Watson, but that position ultimately went to former San Diego Padres GM Kevin Towers. White's only previous interview for a GM position had been with the Houston Astros in 2007, when they ultimately hired Ed Wade.
White has headed the Dodgers' amateur scouting department since 2002 and is widely considered one of the top scouting minds in the game. He is responsible for having drafted much of the team's current core, including pitchers Chad Billingsley, Clayton Kershaw and Jonathan Broxton, first baseman James Loney and center fielder Matt Kemp.
As recently as 10 days ago, rumors surfaced that White, whose current contract is set to expire at the end of this month, was on the verge of being fired by the Dodgers. White told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Oct. 1 that he was aware of those rumors but hadn't been told anything official and that he planned to continue working as usual until he was told not to.
"I'm still working," White said at the time. "I haven't been told anything [different]. There is a lot of innuendo and rumor out there, and I hate to even address some of those because they are so ridiculous."
Those rumors appear to have been the result of confusing White with another Southern California amateur-scouting chief. The Los Angeles Angels had fired their scouting director, Eddie Bane, along with three of his scouts, on Sept. 29. Multiple sources said Monday the Dodgers have every intention of re-signing White and keeping him around in his present role if he isn't hired as a GM by another club.
The Mets are looking to replace Omar Minaya, their GM for the past six years who was fired last week after the club failed to make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.

Zogenix To Present New Case Study Highlighting Successful Repositioning Of Injectable Sumatriptan For Migraine With A Novel Needle-Free Delivery Technology
Important Safety Information
SUMAVEL DosePro is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, in patients with history, symptoms or signs of ischemic heart disease, coronary artery vasospasm, cerebrovascular or peripheral vascular disease including ischemic bowel disease and in patients with other significant underlying cardiovascular diseases or known hypersensitivity to sumatriptan. SUMAVEL DosePro should not be given to patients in whom unrecognized coronary artery disease is predicted by the presence of risk factors without a prior cardiovascular evaluation.
Serious cardiovascular events, including death, have been reported when taking sumatriptan, including patients with no findings of cardiovascular disease. Considering the extent of use of sumatriptan in patients with migraine, the incidence of these events is extremely low. Cerebrovascular events, some fatal, have been reported in patients treated with sumatriptan. In a number of cases, it appears possible that the cerebrovascular events were primary, sumatriptan having been administered in the incorrect belief the symptoms experienced were a consequence of migraine when they were not. It is important to advise patients not to administer SUMAVEL DosePro if a headache being experienced is atypical.
Do not use Sumavel DosePro and any ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medication within 24 hours of each other; do not use SUMAVEL DosePro and another 5-HT 1 agonist (e.g. triptan) within 24 hours of each other (with the exception of a single dose of another sumatriptan product, provided the doses are separated by at least 1 hour). SUMAVEL DosePro is not generally recommended for use with MAO-A inhibitors. The development of a potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome may occur with triptans, including treatment with SUMAVEL DosePro, particularly during combined use with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). SUMAVEL DosePro should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.
In controlled clinical trials with sumatriptan injection, the most common adverse reactions were injection site reactions, tingling, warm/hot sensation, burning sensation, feeling of heaviness, pressure sensation, feeling of tightness, numbness, feeling strange, tight feeling in head, flushing, tightness in chest, discomfort in nasal cavity/sinuses, jaw discomfort, dizziness/vertigo, drowsiness/sedation and headache.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

According to Blabbermouth.net, former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman has revealed via a Facebook post that he has signed on to write the theme song for a "major" new movie.
Probably because of their shared release date and the competitive history between the bands, a lot of the negative comments on Lulu stories around here featured some variation on the theme, "I'm just going to buy Megadeth's new album instead."
Thrash titans Megadeth have just released a new music video for their song "Public Enemy No. 1." Scroll down to watch the video in full.
In true Halloween spirit, Megadeth too the stage last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in full costume, treating fans to renditions of "Public Enemy No. 1" and "Symphony Of Destruction." You can check out video from the performance below.
If you think Lou Reed was completely unaware of the backlash from Metallica fans surrounding their upcoming collaboration, Lulu, think again.
This year marks 25 years since the release of one of the great thrash albums of all time, Slayer's Raining Blood. In honor of the album's 25th anniversary, Down vocalist Phil Anselmo recently shared some thoughts on the album.
Last night, Metallica took the stage in front of over 30,000 fans for their first-ever concert in India. You can check out footage from the concert below.
Guitar World made history in Milan, Italy, on July 6, 2011, by getting Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Slayer's Kerry King and Anthrax's Scott Ian to pose for group photos — the first photos ever to feature all the guitarists of thrash metal's momentous Big Four tour.
If Lulu isn't your cup of tea, a new, proper Metallica album may not be far off, at least according to Robert Trujillo. In a new interview, the bassist told GulfNews.com that Metallica "have been busy writing and recording."
Yet another song from Megadeth's upcoming thirteenth studio album, TH1RT3EN, is now streaming online, as they band have now premiered the song "Black Swan" via Hot Topic. You can stream the song in full below.

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is the fourth game installment of the Warcraft story (including the expansion to Warcraft II, Beyond the Dark Portal). The Orcs and Humans continue to fight each other at their own peril according to a mysterious prophet.
The game perpetuates Blizzard's high reputation in real-time strategy games. You cut down trees, mine for gold, and build buildings so that you can train troops. It is designed with a focus on heroes; characters with special abilities that are tougher than the average unit. It is no longer limited to Orcs and Humans. Now there are also Night-Elves and the Undead. Each race has unique units and strategies.
Warcraft III uses a full 3D engine and the graphics certainly live up to Blizzard's reputation. The cinematics have an uncanny realism. Although the characters still look a little cartoony, their expressions and movements are very organic, and the rest of the cinematics could possibly be mistaken for film footage.

Great ratchet indeed! If you've got spot you can't reach this is the ratchet you'll need. The head flex's both ways give you more options of angle to reach bolts in hard or tight places.

I like to have a few 3/8 ratchets around the house in case I need a back up for work. When this went on sale I jumped right on it. The long handle adds great leverage for tight rusty bolts.
via sears.com
I needed to get into some tighter places and this was the way to go. Shorter swing between clicks for tight spots to be able to ratchet and long enough for some leverage.

The wrenches (bought two while they were on sale) are generally fairly good but the flex part of one was too loose so it would not stay in place so I returned it with no problems. The heads still flop around a little too much which sometimes makes it hard to put the socket on a nut or keep it there. The length is good - like a 3/8" pull handle with the ratchet head. I doubt if the guts will last if used and abused like a typical ratchet, especially since not made in USA, so good to have warranty.
Chesapeake, VA
I bought this ratchet a few months back after a friend had showed me his. I like how it has an extended handle for more torque and I never have to go up to a 1/2 to get stuck bolts out. I use it the most out of all my ratchets which is everyday ( although I just bought a full polish offset craftsman one which I like better). After all these months the flex head is looser and they mechanism has some play. Still a great ratchet. Only downfall is it's made in China, I'd love to see Sears make more USA tools but for $20 it's a great tool.

Overall I like everything except the edges around the articulating head could have been finished better. They seem to be kind of sharp but definitely not a deal breaker.
via sears.com
Perfect for the brake job I'm doing. Flex head allows plenty of clearance around the brake caliber. Price is right with rewards coupon, drops the price below $20.00.
via sears.com
excellent craftsman tool!
via sears.com
I work on cars quite often and with traditional ratchets, the straight handle swings into something and reduces the travel length significantly which results in more time used to remove bolts. By switching to this flex head, i am able to avoid obstacles much easier and in return save time. the handle on this ratchet is also longer and gives quite a bit more leverage for removing tough bolts

I had to take the first one back as it wouldn't hold a socket, as they kept falling off . The second one is much better

Egypt remains attractive to Indian investment
The size of India's investments in Egypt is expected to be doubled through 50 Indian companies working in different fields in Egypt, Indian Ambassador to Egypt Navdeep Suri said on Monday.
India's investments in Egypt have doubled during the past 10 years, Suri stated.
The investments of Indian companies in Egypt amount to almost $2.5 billion in different projects, the ambassador said in a statement reported by the state news agency.
These projects which are located in Cairo, October 6, Port Said, Alexandria, Suez, and Ismailia provide 35 thousand direct and indirect job opportunities.
Minister of Industry Hatem Saleh had said towards the end of 2012 that Egypt and India are discussing forming a joint business council to enhance the economic role between the two countries

Oh, St. Patch-rick.
Now, he was a saint among Robots. Let me tell you a bit about him by opening some of these legendary read-me files. He was 2.3 meters tall, and had a cooling system like no other robot. LIKE NO OTHER, I tells yah.
He smelled of shaving cream and brake fluid, with a hint of cinnamon. His feats knew no bounds, and often was associated with a 4-layered CD-Rom disk. With most CDs being dual-layered, this was extra lucky. He oft was credited with clearing all of the games of Snake out of URLand. He slash and slashed, and his network was always secure. Oh, St. Patch-rick, I imbibe to thee today.
I'd tell you more about robotic saints, but I'd probably bore you. We're not know for our religious figures, no sir. Now, if you want to discuss various ways to built a mind control device, or weigh options on servo upgrades, then we can talk. In fact, most robots are what you would call, atheist. Well, there is Robo-Jesus, so we're not entirely against religion. He was a cool guy, too, but maybe I'll save that story for later this month.
One last thought, just to get my public service announcement in to appear my parole:
No matter how bad it gets, you should never, ever, shake a Harlem.
Until next time, humans!

Quill excels where data visualizations fall short; it adds value to data by identifying relevant data points and relaying them through professional, conversational language. The result? Narratives that efficiently communicate the insights buried in Big Data that people can comprehend, act on and trust.
Whether describing your top sales performers or evaluating your portfolio against a benchmark, Quill identifies the facts that are foundational to your narrative. Since not every result from this data is interesting or important, Quill uses your business rules to identify thresholds, drivers, trends and relationships to determine what really matters to your business. Quill also ensures that incoming data makes logical sense so it can catch possible data holes and errors before allowing them to creep into a story.
By applying these metrics to the results of its data analysis, Quill chooses exactly what should be surfaced as part of the narrative, and what should be disregarded. Quill leverages natural language generation techniques to produce content which meets your communication goals, business rules and overarching stylistic preferences (e.g. tone, formatting). Finally, Quill automatically applies language to the most relevant information to assemble a narrative that is indistinguishable from a human-written one.

Quill utilizes Narrative Analytics, an approach to analysis and narrative generation that starts with the story you want to tell, and uses it as the driver for the analysis that needs to be done. Whether it's an operational report, a performance review or an alert, the desired narrative determines the type of analysis that needs to be performed and the data required for that analysis. The result? A useful, applicable and relevant story that supports your business goals.

Great spot
I have stayed in this cottage myself - with friends - and sent my parents for a short stay. Both times we were thrilled with the amenities, the location, and the trip overall. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect getaway in Mystic. I know the town well and this is a real gem.

A man who says he is the father of two of three teens charged with fatally beating two homeless men says that they too were once homeless, and he has no idea what prompted the brutal Friday night attack that police say left the victims unrecognizable.

The famous Scream mask was generally a descendant of the famous painting "Scream" by Edvard Munch. MTV's upcoming Scream series will feature a new mask, one more directly inspired by the original painting and so, appropriately it will be made of (or look like) flesh – or at least more "organic" than the mask we know.
From an EW interview late last year:
"It's a darker, almost more grounded, evolved version of the mask," says Mina Lefevre, MTV's senior vice president and head of scripted development. "It's something we're constantly talking about. How did that mask become that mask? What's its purpose? How did it evolve? If the Scream movie mask was the more plastic version, for a lack of a better description, this one is a more organic looking and frankly darker version."
Lefevre—who insists not using Ghostface had nothing to do with rights issues— promises that the spirit of Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven's films are intact. "Scream was incredibly iconic, but we wanted to reinvent that for TV while of course keeping all the main elements that made it so iconic, including a mask, but also the soapy teen stories, pop culture humor, the scares and the killer," she says. "We're tonally walking that line, yet delivering the scares in a significant way. The mask was a big discussion creatively. We wanted to get a nod and a wink to what the original was, but we definitely wanted to make it more on par with what horror is now, which is darker."
What might it look like? Turns out a few contenders are already out there… Read more »

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Investor Conviction Needed (Final)
Theme No. 5: Precious Metals
Cramer's said it a thousand times: No portfolio is complete without some exposure to gold. He said gold is one of the easiest stories to understand.
Cramer said in a nutshell, it's getting harder and harder to find the shiny stuff at a time when the world is demanding more and more of it. Whether it's the rising middle class wanting to show off their new found wealth, or governments stockpiling the precious metal as a hedge against their devaluing currencies, gold, along with other metals, can easily justify their record-setting prices.
Cramer said gold is an asset class in and of itself, and its increasing scarcity makes it a safe investment for every portfolio.
Cramer once again reminded viewers that there are many ways to invest in gold, from gold bars and bullion, to coins and jewelry, to ETFs like the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) to the gold mining stocks themselves. Of the latter, Cramer gave the nod to Goldcorp (GG - Get Report), along with Barrick Gold (ABX - Get Report), International Tower Hill Mines (THM) and Novagold (NG). Cramer said like the homeland security stocks, there's no need to rush into the gold stocks. Cramer said he would be a buyer on any pullback or weakness in any of these names. In his conclusion, Cramer said investors don't have to agree with all of the theme's he outlined in today's show. He said what's important is that investors believe in something long-term, and have the conviction to see it through the next time the market sells off. He said if investors are patient and calculating, his shopping list of long-term themes will serve them well. --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C.

It was a big game for Bangladesh as lot depended on this to qualify for the next round, and as such, lots of pressure was on the home team, especially because of losing to Afghanistan in the Asia Cup.
The Tigers captain won the toss and elected field on a wicket which was not the best for T20 as it was turning and had bounce with the new ball. Bangladesh had a well planned out game and right from the word go, Mushfiqur Rahim and his team was on the top of the game after Mashrafe Bin Mortaza drew the first blood in the very first ball removing the opener.
Afghan team had a second wicket partnership of 36 runs and after that it was all downhill as they played silly shots and threw the wickets. Player-of-the-match Shakib bowled brilliantly taking three wickets for 8 runs and was well supported by other spinners Razzak and Mahmudullah, who also bowled very well exploiting the weakness of opposition's inability of playing spin bowling.
Bangladesh team looked far superior in all departments, their body language showed that they were fully in the game which lifted the fielding, giving full support to the bowlers, taking some great catches and saving boundaries.
This will give a lot of confidence to the home team and the supporters who came down to support them were delighted. The next game is against Nepal and Hong Kong which they should win but they should not take them lightly to go to the Super 10s. In my opinion Bangladesh is very capable of upsetting more fancied teams in the next round.
Sunday's win is a perfect beginning to the World T20 2014 for the host country and a lot more is on its way for rejoicing.

Bank Earnings Rise, but Not Real Estate Lending
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reported that the banking system earned $42.2 billion in the second quarter of 2013, up 22.6% from the second quarter of 2012. The drivers of this improved profitability continue to be noninterest income and reduced loan loss provisions, not increased lending.
This morning I read a post on Seeking Alpha that indicated that the larger regional banks including
Bank of America
(BAC - Get Report),
JP Morgan
(JPM) and
Wells Fargo
(WFC) have been experiencing reduced demand for mortgages due to rising interest rates. Bank of America announced plans to cut about 2,000 jobs from its mortgage origination business. JP Morgan expects to lose money on its mortgage operations in the second half of 2013. Wells Fargo expects its mortgage originations to decline by nearly 30% in the second half of the year. This slippage was already noticeable in the FDIC QBP for the second quarter of 2013.
Source: Courtesy of FDIC
For the third quarter in a row net interest income posted a year-over-year decline. The decline for the second quarter was $1.8 billion as interest income from loans and other investments. This implies that the banking system remains reluctant to lend as long as troubled assets remain on the books of many banks.
A Review of the Sequential Mix of Real Estate Assets first quarter 2003 vs. second quarter 2013: Total Assets On Monday I wrote, JP Morgan Upgraded As Banking System Heals and indicated that JP Morgan reduced assets by $47.5 billion in the second quarter, which pulled total assets in the banking system down $14.8 billion sequentially. Residential Mortgages declined by $22.1 billion in the second quarter which is a sign that mortgage credit guidelines remain too tight, and that demand for mortgages have declined as rates rise. Nonfarm Nonresidential Real Estate Loans rose by $11.1 billion in the in the second quarter which is a sign that banks feel saver lending to builders of office buildings, strip malls, condos and apartments, rather than single-family homes. Construction & Development Loans rose by $897 million in the in the second quarter which is a sign that banks are beginning to be less stingy to community developers and homebuilders. However C&D loans are still likely to include the majority of noncurrent loans.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
