text: June 10, 2011 | By Leah Rocketto Laughter: The Real Reason LOLing Is Good For You Pin it Share Whether it's a deep bellow during a stand-up show or a high-pitched giggle from a knock-knock joke, everyone laughs. No matter the type or reason, laughter does more than express simple emotion. Scientists find that blood flow increases during laughter, which reduces stress on the circulatory system, transports rejuvenating oxygen to organs, and helps the body's cells rid themselves of waste Impact of cinematic viewing on endothelial function. Miller M., Mangano c., Park Y., et al. Heart, February 2006; 92: 261-262.. Not to mention it feels awesome. ROFL Time - What It Is While many authors have developed deep, philosophical definitions of laughter, there's some hard science behind this simple act. Laughter occurs as a physiological and psychological response to a humorous stimulus (try saying that five times fast), like a marathon of The Office or a man running in to a pole Humor and Laughter may Influence Health. I. History and Background. Bennett M.P. and Lengacher C.A. Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, March 2006; 3: 61–63.. However, it takes more than just a funny situation to get the giggles going. Humor stimulates the large frontal lobe, which dictates most of our human emotional responses (sorry, robot readers). An electrical signal then travels to an area of the brain responsible for triggering motor function Impact of cinematic viewing on endothelial function. Miller M., Mangano c., Park Y., et al. Heart, February 2006; 92: 261-262.. Finally, after travelling down this complex neural highway, people react to humor by laughing out loud, slapping their knees, and/or peeing their pants (and yes, laughing actually causes this for some people). Quite the lengthy process of for a five-second action! No Prescription Required - What It Means to You Laughter naturally– and legally– reduces stress and makes us feel plain happier. But what isn't so well known is that giggling like a schoolgirl (or boy) actually increases blood flow throughout the body. In a 2006 study, researchers compared the ability of blood to flow through during two movie screenings: a comedy and a drama. They ultimately discovered that the inner lining of the viewers' blood vessels expanded an average of 15% during the comedy compared to a 47% decrease during a stressful war drama Humor and Laughter may Influence Health. I. History and Background. Bennett M.P. and Lengacher C.A. Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, March 2006; 3: 61–63.. This allowed for greater blood flow throughout the body, which in turn minimizes circulatory stress and keeps organs healthy by supplying them with sweet, sweet oxygen. But increased blood flow isn't the only other benefit of laughing. Laughter also bolsters the immune system by increasing levels of interferon gamma-1b, a compound critical in the fight against infections Laugh Yourself into a Healthier Person.. Hasan H. and Hasam T.F. International Journal of Medical Science, 2009; 6: 200-211.. Apparently an apple a day isn't the only thing keeping the doctors away. So don't worry about YouTubing a tone-deaf child singing Ke$ha during work hours. The health benefits may be well worth dealing with an angry boss. Send Me the Ingredients!

New Data Correlates Social Engagement With Traditional Radio Ratings
SAN MATEO, Calif., April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jelli ( http://www.jelli.com), the cloud platform for radio, released today new data that shows a direct correlation between an increase in social engagement with higher ratings for traditional radio broadcasts. In addition, the company provided data showing how socially-engaged listeners interact with traditional radio spots that were aired during these broadcasts.
Building upon recently published research by Nielsen about the correlation between Twitter engagement and television ratings, Jelli analyzed data over the past year related to audience engagement with radio, another massive traditional medium like television which is beginning to see a more active "feedback loop" during broadcasts.
During a 13 week period, Jelli measured weekly active registered users who were using Jelli's online or mobile app to vote to choose the music played during live broadcasts on five different radio stations based in four cities across the United States.
The results were:- Weekly social engagement for the sample stations increased 127%, and
- Ratings (i.e., weekly cume) for those stations increased 30%.
- 0.10% to 0.15% of the weekly cume ratings base (i.e., all listeners) took some action with the advertising. This is roughly two to three times typical performance of online display advertising, and
- 1 to 3% of logged-in listeners clicked through on the display portion of the ad.

POSTED: Tuesday, August 2, 2011 - 5:04am
UPDATED: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 11:14am
On August 2, 2011 at approximately 2:06 a.m. officers from the Tyler Police Department responded to a Suspicious Persons call located within the 1200 block of S. Wall St.
Once on scene officers were directed by a white female to a residence where they located an unresponsive white male, identified as Christopher Hebert, 25, from Tyler.
Officers performed CPR on Christopher Hebert prior to him being transported to the East Texas Medical Center hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators from the Tyler Police Department's Major Crimes Unit responded to the scene due to the suspicious nature of the incident.
Christopher Hebert was later transported to the Southeast Forensic Center and the case remains under investigation pending autopsy results.

Awesome idea! As long as there is training involved I cant imagine a better way of turning a crappy, crime infested neighborhood into a nice one.
Grand idea,never forgetting the presents of a well trained person with a gun,does induce Civility! More Guns Less Crime,That's A No Brainier!
A worthy cause, indeed! I'd hope the neighborhood thugs won't show up for the freebies. But then, they'll probably find out who the recipients are, then steal the guns when the owners are not home.
It seems like way back in American history before the Socialist we had something like that? Yes, it was called an armed militia of freemen.
I like it. I wish the NRA would do something like this on a large scale before the gun grabbers write new legislation making it illegal.
Always have clean socks.
The article mentions the idea that more guns may mean more gun deaths rather than less crime. I think they're taking a very short term view. Those early gun deaths (criminals on the receiving end) become the word-of-mouth among other criminals that leads to deterrence. Some criminals are smart enough to figure it out for themselves "People are getting armed now. Maybe I need to find another place to get my drug money."... But most aren't. They need a concrete example. "Dang, Joey got whacked when he tried to break into that old ladies house. Maybe I need to find another place to get my drug money."

He demanded the skunk be shot.
Right then, right there.
Fetch out the 870. "Anybody in the house?"
"No. Shoot it, shoot it!"
BOOM and a charge of 00 buck sends the skunk to the next life, while the payload continued through the fellow's threshold and dug up an impressive amount of carpet inside his front door.
Funny thing. Once the Mayor got the straight story, he had absolutely no sympathy for the fellow.

Amid mounting criticism for charging her hosts business class fare while travelling economy, Team Anna member Kiran Bedi on Monday said the trustees of her NGO had advised the travel agent to return the balance money to the organisers.
"Foundation [India Vision Foundation] trustees have passed a resolution directing me to travel strictly as per invite. This leaves no room for discretion,'' she tweeted before leaving for Mumbai.
She further added that the trustees had instructed the travel agent to return the balance amount to the hosts.
The India Vision Foundation is an NGO run by Ms. Bedi.
Ms. Bedi reportedly told PTI that the trustees, including ad man Prahlad Kakkar, Lavlin Thadani, Sunil Nanda, Pradeep Halwasiya and Amarjit Singh, felt this was not the way to save money.
The travel agency run by Anil Bal, who was also a trustee of the Foundation, was handling the travel account and had been asked to return the money which was lying in the travel account.
As the controversy raged, several prominent figures spoke out against Ms. Bedi's action. While the former Chief Justice of India, J.S. Verma, questioned her action and termed it "unacceptable," Congress leader Digvijay Singh said Team Anna members needed to look "inwards'' rather than point fingers at politicians. "This means if the corrupt people return money, they will also be absolved of their crimes. Then why has A. Raja been kept in jail. Mr. Raja also returns money and comes out,'' he asked.
Member of the drafting committee on Lokpal Bill Santosh Hegde also raised the issue of propriety and misconduct if the hosts were unaware of the arrangement.
Earlier, Ms. Bedi said that there was an understanding with the hosts wherein they would write out a cheque for business class fare for her travel, leaving it to her NGO to make her travel plans.
She claimed there was no personal gain for her and she was saving money in this manner for causes where hosts were unable to bear travel charges.

I really enjoy your interviews. Given all the issues facing the city, I wish this interview could have been longer. I love the greatest flaw question - like when you are interviewing someone for a job, the answer is pretty telling. Something like "my inability to be selfish" reaks of b.s.

Ula, Thanks for those kind words. I would have liked to have gone longer with them too.
It's been interesting to hear answers to the three questions over the months that I've been doing this. You've given me the idea of compiling them and looking for themes.
One theme I think I'd find--though it's by no means limited to the following group--is that politicians often give some version of "I'm too good for my own good" as an answer. Such as, I want to see things get done quickly and lose patience when they're not, I say yes too much, I'm too generous with my time, etc.
Several have not conformed to that mold, however--Patty Ritchie in the State Senate comes to mind, and Dan Maffei's interview following his loss to Ann Marie Buerkle contained a pretty raw self-assessment as an answer to that question, as I recall. And to his credit, Eliot Spitzer's answer was dead-on: impetuousness.
Thanks for listening to the program! - October 22, 2011 at 9:29 AM
First of all, Twitter's openness makes it a useful platform for showcasing your talents, personality, style, and interests. Recruiters can get an idea of who you are, and if you would be a good fit at research paper editing their company. It's not just transparency of candidates, but companies as well.

This is amazing. Plain and simple. I used it to remove waterproof mascara last night, and it took it off completely, even after I used my regular makeup remover wipes. The texture is great, and non-irritating. If I used liquid makeup remover often, I would buy this. No doubt.
Removes all makeup, even the most stubborn. Only I wouldn't repurchase because it irritates my eyes and leaves them feeling oily.
This make up remover works well for me! I only need a little bit to remove every scrap of makeup although it does leave my eyes a tad greasy which can easily be fised. Will get again
This is an awesome eye makeup remover! It takes off eye shadow in one swipe, and its great with mascara too. The only thing I don't like is the oily residue that I have to wipe off, because my skin is oily enough.
More reviews by AllThatGlittters
Recieved this as part of the bonus time offer at Clinique, and I love it! It does exactly what a makeup remover should, it removes every trace of makeup and leaves skin quite smooth after. My only gripe is that if you use too much product, it does leave behind a slightly greasy residue but this can be resolved with a toner or moisturizer. I would definately repurchase, and it is great value for money as you only need a small amount.

I only tried this because the lancome one is nearly 20 pounds now but am really glad I did -I find it superior and lasts longer and my super sensitive eyes are very happy with this

If effective is what you're looking for, this product isn't bad. However, it leaves behind an unpleasant greasy residue.
I have tried so many eye makeup remover and this is the only one that works for me. People who are having issues with this product I suggest you leave the cotton that's saturated in the remover for few seconds before you start swiping.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Best makeup remover I ever used!!!! Much better then Lancome and all the others...
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have tons of small bottles of this from Clinique Bonuses! Gotta love them :D This literally takes off all my makeup with one swipe of a cotton ball. It's also really moisturizing, so I don't feel like I'm drying out my skin when I use this to take off my makeup. I always take a small bottle of this when I'm traveling, and will buy a full size bottle of this if I ever run out of the small bottles!

Wacky Wodge
A new wheeze has emerged in California of entrepreneurs getting their money out before the IPO by taking a cut of the VC money.
Another of these 'social networking' sites called Secret raised $30 million of which $6 million was split between the two founders.
The same thing happened at Snapchat where the founders took $10 million each after a funding round.
Apparently it's being increasingly done and the reason it's being done is to motivate the entrepreneurs who need encouragement.
Wacky but it's California.

Bather layoff
My mngmnt told me tht as of this upcoming saturday 01/17/14 the bather position is being eliminated. Is there any truth to that?
I am not with PETCO anymore but here are my two cents. The job was pretty easy if you know what you were doing and you are flexible and can adjust to the madness. Everyone should be prepared to to be on the cash register for at least twenty four months before you can do anything else, that's given. You will be left to fend for yourself first couple of weeks, then you pretty much get used to the situation. My managers were useless and lazy. No room for improvement - no role modes, it's hard to grow here. Here you go, the cash register. Managers are seldom satisfied, very nit picky, there was always something that went wrong. Folks are rude, both internal people and customers (often). Customers always want discounts and want to use expired coupons, but never wanted to donate to help any homeless animals. No help from anybody when the store gets busy, if no one comes to your aid when a customer needs something you had to do it pretty much on your own. Manager expected all of the animals during morning care to be completely clean in an hour, a process which took about two hours because there were so many animals and they all had different cleaning processes (very time consuming), plus if you weren't finished before the store opened you had to run back and forth between cash registers and the animal cages which can get very much annoying. We were very short staffed. Hours and scheduling was stupid, we had 36 hours one week and 16 the next, go figure. Would work you all the way to 39 hours, so never got benefits, clever PETCO. Never got time for training, had to come in on your days off for training, al least you had an option. Managers always calling and asking you to come in on your days off, very annoying. (making you feel bad if you didn't) unrealistic expectations had to be met (e.g., getting a certain section of the store clean and properly stocked, animals had to be cleaned and fed for morning staff, and our dear customers had to be rung up, all before closing time not to mention all of those tasks done by a single person). Favors: Managers had favorite folks, they got to work side by side with management leaving others stuck in the same place day after day with no improvement. We had to kiss customers *** all the time and big time, if someone threw a hissy fit because they couldn't find their dog food for their oh so precious dog, we had to pretty much bend over backwards and go to great lengths just to make them a little less ticked off. Many times I got put on closing the store and opening early the next morning leaving no time for sleep, or even a life. Sunday's were, let's be honest, CRAZY BRUTAL. Too awful to even talk about Sundays, if you got put to work on a Sunday, then your whole week was pretty much f-ed up.
So, as I said, just 2 cents folks.
Who was affected?
65 people were laid off or positions moved to TX- January 2014. 100% confirmed.
Not sure if you were kidding
But no layoffs in March for sure - where did you get info? What are you basing it on? Petco is doing pretty good, my store keeps setting new sales number records.
petco ibm layoffs
any news?
petco layoffs
Corporate layoffs, March 2014, anybody knows more?
so here it goes: sales are down and profits are non-existent. we are not going to be selling more than we are now as the consumer is going thru a major lifestyle realignment. the only way to resolve this is cutting costs, and we all know that the labor costs are the highest costs today. My 2c though....

Help this audition-free community orchestra present Mozart, Mahler, Beethoven, Handel and more in White Plains on Oct 21!
About this project
Why Support This Project?
Do you love live music? Do you want to help bring more art, beauty and happiness to the lives of people from all walks of life? Do you want this to happen in your own backyard? Then this is the perfect project for you to support!
The New Westchester Symphony Orchestra ("NewWSO," www.newsymphony.org), an audition-free ensemble of local amateur musicians, needs your help in order to hold its Fall 2012 performance at the ArtsWestchester building in downtown White Plains, NY on October 21 at 3:00pm. The results of this performance will be all of the above, and more!
Who is the NewWSO?
Most members of the NewWSO consider themselves "hobbyist" musicians. The vast majority of members have occupations in fields other than music and never dreamed they would play great symphonic works such as Mozart's the familiar first movement of 40th Symphony, the breathtaking second movement from Beethoven's 7th Symphony, Handel's second Water Music Suite, and other well-known chamber and vocal pieces.
Well, the NewWSO is a place where dreams do come true. We will present all of the above works and more on October 21, 2012. Our live performances prove that anybody who loves playing music can play "serious" music while having lots of fun. Audiences are continually amazed and inspired by our dedication, happiness, and, of course, how good we sound. Yes, that's us on the video soundtrack!
Why do we need your help?
Our musicians are all volunteers - in fact, our musicians pay a membership fee to play these great works of art and don't get paid a penny to perform. As you can see in our video, NewWSO brings its collective love of music to the local community by performing for audiences at venues such as public libraries, retirement homes, and rehabilitation centers. Inspiring happiness through music is an overlooked but very necessary community service that we provide to a diverse cross-section of Westchester County residents.
While we don't have to rent most community performances spaces, we usually don't charge admission, either. In order to be able to rent the beautiful ArtsWestchester performance space and bring a great program to an enthusiastic audience at the low price of only $10/ticket, we need your help!
Where Exactly Will Your Money Go?
Our goal of $3500 will go directly towards expenses associated with this concert, including: rental of the performance space at ArtsWestchester ($1100), two months' rent at our weekly rehearsal space ($1000), printing of 150 concert programs ($300), advertising costs ($500), and extra personnel costs necessary for a smoothly-run event ($100). We also need to create and distribute the nifty rewards we are offering ($500 or more, depending on how many are ordered). Every penny will be put to good use.
ArtsWestchester is housed in a historic bank building centrally located in downtown White Plains next to the bustling City Center shopping center. It's one of the few concert venues in Westchester that is accessible without a car! One can literally walk right into our 3:00pm performance after lunch and/or shopping. The orchestra will be set up on the floor of the beautiful ground-floor gallery space, and the audience will be seated "in the round" for a thrilling, up-close experience.
You might be wondering how we paid for our first concert at ArtsWestchester...
On March 18, 2012, only three short months after being founded, NewWSO took a big risk and gave its "debut concert" at the very same venue. We packed the house with familiar faces as well as folks who walked in off the street. We raised funds from amongst our own membership in order to pay for that concert.
For this upcoming public concert we are asking for public support to keep ticket prices low and keep the music alive for our members and for our audiences.
A word about tax-deductible donations:
Our application with the IRS is currently "pending," which means we may get approved as soon as next month or as late as next year. Without tax-exempt status we are not eligible to apply for corporate sponsorship or grants, which means performances for the public are exceedingly difficult to finance.
That is why we're appealing to YOU - our friends, family, fans, and strangers who believe in our cause - to donate as much or as little as you can. Kickstarter is an amazing tool to help us raise a little bit from a lot of people. Every little bit helps, it truly does.
And, if our tax-exempt status is granted in 2012, your donation will be tax-deductible. We are grateful that Congresswoman Nita Lowey's office is helping us expedite the process. Fingers crossed!
Here's what our members want you to know about the importance of contributing to our project:
"We are a united group dedicated to improving our collective musicianship and providing quality music to our audiences."
"[NewWSO] improves the lives of the people who participate in it as well as those we play for."
"If you love the arts and want to promote them as good way to spend time as opposed to sports or watching TV, making a donation to the NewWSO is a good use of your charity."
"How often can you support an organization that provides enjoyment to so many different kinds of people, promotes the arts, builds community and provides another great reason to live in Westchester?"
"[Your contribution] supports the type of first-rate activity that encourages friendship, artistic expression and a sense of community in a rapidly fragmenting and isolating world."
And If We Exceed Our Funding Goal?
If we exceed our funding goal, extra funds will be put to good use towards expenses associated with future concerts. An exciting, upcoming example is our Messiah Sing-Along with full orchestral accompaniment, to take place on November 30, 2012, 7:00pm at the Music Conservatory of Westchester.
There is always music to be played, and people will always need music. NewWSO exists to fill that need in Westchester County, now and in the future.
A note on how Kickstarter works and how to be a Backer:
To make a pledge to help bring our Fall 2012 Concert to life, click the green "Back This Project" button at the top right of this page, next to the video. You will be asked to enter your pledge amount (minimum pledge of $1) and select an optional reward. You will then be prompted to complete the purchase through Amazon. If our project is successfully funded, your card will be charged when we reach the funding deadline. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you need help!
If you have questions about the Fall Concert or general questions about New Westchester Symphony Orchestra, email firstname.lastname@example.com, call 914-260-1811, visit our website www.newsymphony.org, or visit our Facebook page for more information about this project and about the NewWSO. Hope to see you at our Fall concert, and THANK YOU!
Yes! Login to your Kickstarter account and go to this Kickstarter page. The green "Back This Project" button is now a blue "Manage Your Pledge" button. Click that, and you can change the amount, the reward, or even cancel it entirely (although that would be sad, boo hoo).
Email firstname.lastname@example.com if you really want to give a check. We may be able to work something out and still have it count towards this campaign.
We should hopefully know in a month or two what the status is. We have contacted the local congresswoman's office, who has contacted the IRS representative in NYS, who is looking into our application status. If our status is granted for this year, you will have the option of providing your address so you can receive the necessary letter from us to claim tax-deductibility.

Challenge Level 0You know what I've noticed along with many others? Its this: games aren't how they used to be - simple as that. Its been a while since I had a genuine challenge from a video game. Now remember, I grew up in the Playstation 2 era, so I'm used to the "yeah, I get it" moments like "go through the door RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU." However, games lately have failed to actually give me a challenge. Let me reiterate.See, all of my bros on GameInformer Online should know this, but I am a huge JRPG guy. JRPGs just give me that taste of progress like I'm actually getting stronger as I gain more and more knowledge about the game I'm playing. Its like a metaphor for real-life. I'll be honest - I actually did not read the rules for a certain group on GIO, so I learned everything... the hard way. The REALLY hard way. I posted a link for something I should have not posted a link for on a forum. I posted a picture of something that should've been put in another topic. I learned that there are one or two p
VisualBoyAdvanced Mac ReviewThe first time I encountered the Visualboyadvance emulator was when I started me first playthrough of Mother 3. Now I can talk all day about that one week it took my to complete the game, and let me tell you this: the emulator was fantastic. It was able to keep a constant frame-rate, it allowed up to ten save-states (very handy in this particular game), I could fullscreen it and sit back and play in my bed, it even emulated Gamesharks and Action Replays (which I didn't use much, but still very impressive). When my PC eventually went ka-put on me out of complete nowhere, I had to resort to my brother's Macbook and the experience was less than stellar.It was shameful.This emulator is one of the worst I have ever played on, and I have played a LOT of bad emulators.First off, you think its very convenient. You know, you cn just press "ESC" and have a giant Gameboy in front of you. Its right there, as everything else on the Mac is. But then it hits you- no fullscreen. This is PATHETIC. M
Helix Nebula Chapter 5 PreviewSoarin removed his hooves from his face and opened his eyes. The traumatizing dream had vanished, including the lantern and the tonic. He was now standing on what probably was a hill, but there was no scenery. There was only a deep, rich shade of oblivion; complete darkness. There also wasn't much grass, but there were small strokes of emerald-green here and there on the invisible landscape. There was a light source in the area, however, Soarin looked left, right, and even behind him, but he could not locate one of any sort.Odd... it felt so close...The strangest thing was who was sharing the scene with him."Hello, Soarin," said the figure.He blinked. "Hi... Bolt Stroke."Bolt nodded. "Mm-hm."He was sitting there by himself, about ten to fifteen feet away, at a downward angle as if he were sitting on a slope. He was also looking at something out of Soarin's line of sight."So," he said to the yellow pegasus. "Are you actually Bolt Stroke or are you simply an apparition cloaking hi
Castle Crashers: The NovelAs I reached out for my kiss, knowing I was victorious over my comrades I had grown to love like brothers, I felt a sense of overwhelming poignancy. Yet, I moved my head forward to claim my prize.And to my surprise...the princess... she was a clown...A jester...And then the next thing I saw was complete blackness...and white...It was like a whole new racial unity my country has brought itself to fight over. A war I signed myself up for at a young age...But it was actually a sphenisciform.A penguin.My asthma started to act up again. I stood there watching this horrific scene for what seemed like an eternity. Then, grasping my neck, panting for air, everything went dark. In an instant, life slipped away from me.I died...but somewhere deep inside me I knew I won.I knew I beat this foul game of war.This foul game where I am called..."The Castle Crasher."

South Korean tech companies pick up slack left by Japan
The global high-tech industry is suffering significant production losses as Japan's dominant semiconductor manufacturers struggle to resume operations. South Korean firms are moving to fill the void.
Seoul, South Korea
Japan is the birthplace of 20 percent of the world's semiconductors – the crucial piece of technology behind smartphones, tablets, computers, and cars.
But as disaster-hit Japanese technology manufacturers and parts suppliers struggle to resume operations, the global technology industry is suffering production losses in the hundreds of thousands of computer parts, at a cost likely to amount well into the millions of dollars. Some predict it could be up to six months before Japanese production of semiconductors fully resumes.
Enter South Korean firms such as Samsung and Hynix, world leaders in the production of memory chips and LCD screens for mobile and computer industry giants like Apple and Dell.
"The quake could lead to good momentum in [exporting] components such as memory chips and LCD screens because Samsung and Hynix will be better positioned to supply more to big tech firms such as Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard," says Kim Yoo-chul, a Seoul-based technology journalist.
"As an example, Apple asked Samsung and Hynix Semiconductor to provide more NAND flash memory chips and mobile DRAMs used for its iPad 2 and iPhone 5, as Toshiba has been known to have had some disruptions in the supply of its NAND chips to Apple."
Hynix, the second-largest memory-chipmaker in the world behind Samsung, is also said to be boosting its production of mobile DRAM chips at the request of foreign companies, he adds.

Madigan plays his estranged wife, Pullman the motel proprietor and Headly a bartender. The daughter of the dentist has not yet been cast.Want Entertainment News First?

This is a given: the BC economy (the one we had Before the Crash) had too much of many important things. Too much debt. Too much consumption. Too much speculation in complicated financial instruments by bankers blind to the bubble inflating around them. That's not coming back.
Housing prices are not going to rebound 20 percent soon. The Dow is not getting back to 14,000 this decade, and maybe not the next. Circuit City, Linens 'n Things, Lehman Brothers – they're all extinct, like Studebaker. "We are never going back to the way we were," says Paco Underhill, chief executive officer of the retail consulting firm Envirosell.
You don't have to be a futurist to foresee that in the coming new economy just about everyone in the private sector, from consumers to financiers, will be looking to get the most they can for their dollars. You can sum the situation up in two words: "value rules."
In the old days of two years ago, the thrill was in the extras – the heated steering wheel or the size of the second shower in the master bedroom suite. Now it's in the percentage discount from the previous list price.
This change in economic attitudes could mark a shift in America's very way of life. Look at the Great Depression: It was a scarring experience that taught a generation to practice such acts of thrift as washing out plastic bags, to the puzzlement of their baby boomer kids. "The era of 'bling' is coming to a close," says Mr. Underhill.
The new value rules have been reflected for months in that most sensitive of indicators of consumer attitudes – marketing. The sign of the times is a sign in the mall advertising "65 Percent Off!"


text: The Top Ten Slumber Party Horror MoviesOct 19, 2003 The Bottom Line Also, you may want to rent Scream - soft core horror and next to no scare. Okay, so it's a slumber party. Wether it be your birthday, a friend get-together, whatever. You have to rent horror movies, because it just seems to be tradition. I mean, I always rent at least one scary flick for my sleepovers. So here it goes : The Top Ten Slumber Party Horror Movies (for girls) 10) Friday the 13 (the first one) This is the cheesiest scary movie of all time! Next to Cheerleader Camp, anyway. It's totally not scary (except for the ending) and really funny to make fun of. It's predictable and easily non-scary movie. Plus, Kevin Bacon in a speedo - and other dudes in dorky clothes. It's the story of a camp getting set up, the counselors showing up. But the teens are hormonal and ending up doing bad stuff, so Jason is supposed to take care of them... 9) The Craft Not scary, but a great movie. Everyone loves the would be Wiccan movie, and it's always been a success at my parties. It's great. You get the whole, learning spells, having fun, getting the guy you want with magic. But then the whole, 'It's bigger than us' thing comes in to the picture, and you get your 'lesson learned.' It's pretty cool. 8) Ghost Ship The first scene is grizzly, but the plot is wonderful. Many a time have I gathered in my friend's basement and watched horror movies while she freaked out, and this one was almost a polar oppositte. She had already seen it though... But the first scene sets you up for what would be a horrifying thriller, but it's sort of anti-climatic for me. I liked it overall. It's a story of a ship that is haunted by the ghosts of people that were once on it, and these rescure people get on it... Ooh... 7) Final Destination Ooh, soo good. I loved it. A kid has a prophecy about this plane crashing. His senior class is aboard it, as well as him, going to France. But when he wakes up on the plane, and the events take place, he freaks out and gets him and fellow students kicked off the plane... Which explodes soon after.. Not scary, but suspensful. A satisfying movie with a great plot. 6) The Shining Not an obvious choice for a sleepover. I first saw it in the sixth grade, and we ended up watching it on mute. But it's really spine tingling, and if you want to freak eachother out, then this is definately a good idea for your party. A family moves into a hotel to watch it during the harsh winter season. The son has a sixth sense called The Shining, which is sort of like seeing things before they are going to happen. Also, the Dad is being persuaded to kill his family by the ghosts of the hotel. 5) Halloween (the first one) Such a great movie! I'm never going to babysit again, I tell you! Michael Meyers killed his sister when he was young and went to a mental institution, but then escapes and begins murdering the people of his hometown. It further proves my theory that if you are going to wear a mens white, button down shirt with nothing else on, you will most likely die. 4) The Exorcist This was the scariest movie of all time for me. It was up until yesterday. Okay, it's about a young girl who is posessed by the devil, and how her mother is helpless in curing her. It just freaks me out - seriously. I have no idea why posession makes me squirm. Maybe it was the fact that I'm Catholic, and the first time I saw it I was 12... 3) The Ring Okay, I saw this one in theaters. I'm pretty sure that it is one of the greatest movies of all time, and the only scary movie I own on DVD. This girl views a tape that will kill her, and does. Now her aunt is trying to find out how to stop the tape after viewing it herself. When her son views it, things come to a climatic point. The filming of it is dark and makes me squirm. 2) A Nightmare on Elm Street A girl in a white button down shirt and nothing else gets slaughtered in her sleep by a children's serial killer, and everyone thinks it's her boyfriend. But ever since the name Freddie Kruger was mumbled, Nancy, the main character, starts having dreams about him, and escaping. She is trying to find a way to kill him, when all of her friends are murdered as well... Will she figure it out? Well, I saw this about a year ago on my 13 birthday, and it became my favorite movie. 1) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (new) It's about a group of teens heading to a concert after buying and consuming drugs in Mexico. They nearly hit a hitchhiker and end up picking her up. She ends up nearly blowing her head off (but does blow a hole in her head) leaving them with her dead body. They head into town to report the suicide, but that's when things get messed up. They have to meet the sheriff at this Crawford Mill. So when he doesn't show up, they split up, and Erin and Kemper (the main characters) go to this old house to use a phone. Kemper ventures into the house after being told to stay out... And he's the first to meet Leatherface (whose face is not leather, but pieces of skin sewn together). It's number one because of the flinch factor, which made me flinch more than a lot and I ended up watching half through my fingers. I love it. |

Today has got to be the most RANDOM day of my life.
It went something like this.
I was working at a restaurant at Westfield Marion.
I was serving a bunch of people.
Than the fire alarm went off.
Than Shit got real and i could actually smell burn rubber. 3 Westfield lady came barging into the restaurant and told us to get the customers to leave and we had to close because there is an actual fire at the center of the mall.
After half an hour, the fire has still not been located.
We all left the restaurant to be busybodies and join the crowd to see where the fire is. All i saw was 3 firemen entering ABC shop.
Before i did anything else, the assistant chef grab my arm and pointed to a bunch of people that i was serving earlier and said"Alan Crow Captain! Alan Crow Captain!"
I said who the F is Alan Crow?
He proceed to yell Alan Crow at me.
So i ask another guy who Alan Crow is and he said its not Alan Crow, he is trying to say Adelaide Crow Captain.
So....i was actually serving Adelaide Crow Footie Captain without even realizing it.
I met Nathan Van Berlo tonight. Sadly i don't watch football.
I think that's the closest i will ever get to meeting any real celebrity.
After 5minutes of persuading each other to get his autograph, i finally had the guts to ask him for it.
Than i gave it to the Assistant Chef just because he looked so happy, like a kid on Xmas day .
I thought i could get off work early today .
However an hour later we were told everything is fine and we could resume business.
So for the next remaining one hour all i did was serve a table of 4 people.
Because the rest of the customers ran away during the fire warning and never came back.
Life is really like a box of chocolate.You will never know what you are going to get in life.

Our Hostel opened the 26th of May 2008. It is located in the middle of Nordfjord, a very beautiful area. Here you're surrounded by wild mountins, an active agriculture area, historical museum, old churches, fruit trees and valleys with small lakes. How about fishing your own dinner?
From Sandane youy're a daytrip or less from a lot of the most famous sceneries in this area. To mention some of them; the ferry between Hellesylt and Geiranger, Selje Monastery, Nordfjord Folk Museum, The Norwegian Glaciere Museum and the largest glacier on the European Continent, Jostedalsbreen.
The philosophy is to make the hostel a meeting point for travellers - that you'll be able to share your experiences with others, relax, enjoy, or maybe learn some things that can stay with you for years to come.
I love travelling and on my travels I 'collect' countries. This hostel has also started collecting countries. Would you like to participate by visiting us?
Bus stop along the E39 prox. 100 m from the hostel.
Or free pick up at the Busstation, Sandane.
2 km from Sandane airport -Free pick up!! Just let us know that you are coming.
Neares railway is Åndalsnes, Bergen or Gol.

Windows Vista Misunderstood Security Breach
Click here to download now
Overview: Windows newest technology, the User Account Control, found in the Vista operating system has been erroneously called an additional level of security by many computer security professionals. Instead, in the hope to reduce the incidence of malware, unauthorized software installation, and unintentional system changes the User Account Control separates standard user tasks from requiring administrator level password access. Unfortunately, at the enterprise level with hundreds of devices, applications, and shared password accounts, it places all the burden on busy IT administrators. Creating needless costs and time spent away from mission critical tasks for the IT department.

I've been a bit absent here on DA, but that's mainly because I've been working on a few projects. For school and origami. My school projects have been coming first, of course. I've also have been replying to a lot of amazing comments on my works. I wanna say thank you, I honestly do appreciate the support that you all give me by either faving or commenting on my works. Both really means a lot to me.
Now in origami news, I've been working on a big project for the contest that is for 'A Calendar of Tales' by Neil Gaiman. I am a big fan of his works. Especially Coraline! He's just so remarkable... anyways so one of the projects is for one of his short stories. I'm quite sure that I'll be able to complete it in time. Plus I have my March break coming up. Which is great!
In other news, the Eevee Evolutions are now being released weekly. Also there are three left for me to do. Sylveon is waiting to be released, and I am quite pleased of how Sylveon has turned out. Now I am slowly working on the other three. But gradually they all will be done soon.
Now I have realized that sometime soon (during March) my account will become one year old. I can't wait.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions/requests for a project. Feel free to ask me to make it, I'm open to anything. But remember I might decline it if I don't think I can do it.
Thank you for your time Daemons!

Picked my pup out today.
So I finally picked my pup. Can't wait for him to come home. He will be here the 13th pf March. He's a sable. It was out of him or his brother who was also a sable. The trainer recommended him instead because his brother was wayy more driven than he was. My wife and I got to spend some time with them, they were both moving around quite a bit, but the guy I didn't take was getting into trouble. He was biting any and everything, trying to pull the table cloth off of the table lol. He cried sooo much. For no reason just wanting attention maybe. The trainer said it would probably be best to go for the calmer one. Also we are getting our pup from T Floyd in new jersey in case anyone was wondering. He's a really good guy and great trainer. Well that's what's happening In my life. I have a few pics but they aren't great.
