Who do I call?
Who would I call to evaluate a noise situation at my house (road noise)? I'm looking for someone who can come in and see where the outside noise is coming into my house and then tell me how to fix it. I have no more patience in trying to figure it out myself! And I don't want to waste money on solutions that will not work. Thanks!
There are plenty of noise consultants around. Where are you located?
Is this a newly developed problem or has it always been there but you now want to try to mitigate it?
"outside noise coming into my house". I assume all the windows are closed and you plan on keeping them all closed all the time.
If it's just road traffic noise, I suspect it will very difficult to change it significantly. You might consider moving.
The era of your swellings construction, would be an indicator.
Do you have single glazed windows?
Ia the weatherstripping of doors tight fitting?
Have you trier placing a heavy blanket over the window?
Can you feel any vibrations in the walls?
I live in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. I moved into this house 6months ago. I tried searching for noise consultants but can't find any around, unfortunately.
No, I have double paned windows. But it sounds like the windows are open when even a little car drives by.
The weather stripping is good and I have heavy curtains over the windows.
As for the walls, I can feel some vibrating.
It is an addition so I know the walls are insulated - just with your standard R-19 the blue prints say.
The windows are colder then the walls.
We have siding on the exterior of the house.
Thanks again;
It appears that you are getting vibration being transmitted by the wall and while there are some inexpensive methods you can employ to mitigate this, and while not aesthetically appealing, propping a bedspread against the wall, as a test.
Curing it will be costly.
Here is a link that may lead you to a potential fee based determination. http://www.thebluebook.com/search.html?region=5&bkid=55&searchTerm=sound+control
This type of problem definitely requires a site visit to observe the phenomena and the surrounding conditions.
Because people react differently to external stimuli mitigation and resolution of the problem may be both costly and difficult.
The attached link is a google search for acoustical consultants in the Philadelphia area. good luck.
Here is a link that might be useful: google search Philadelphia acoustical consultants
There must be special windows that help. I was in a very nice restaurant in the city right on the boulevard and you could hear nothing. Lots of windows. Double paned does not seem to do that much.
Walls. Attic. (Materials and insulation.)
Berms and trees to absorb.
You need an acoustics specialist. There should be some near a big city. Don't rely on a regular contractor even if they say they install acoustic control materials. It is a highly technical field and you really have to understand what you are doing and follow specs very carefully or it is pointless
People who design media rooms often get into this sort of thing.

I used to live in a place with noise issues and know how annoying they can be. When I bought my house, it was in a sleepy little suburb. Over 20-30 years, traffic just continued to increase and to annoy me more and more. I, too, spent a lot of money to abate it -- high fence, insulated windows, evergreen hedges -- and it made only a slight improvement. Ultimately, I decided to move, which was the only solution that worked for me. Once one starts to focus on noise it's hard to not hear it, and nothing is likely to reduce it enough for you to be satisfied. Sorry to be so negative...just sharing the voice of experience.
I think the most cost effective solution is wait until you need something like new windows then upgrade to the best.
It isn't absolutely terrible to cur into your drywall and double check on your contractor's claims of insulation if you did not see it during construction. McBride, a decent sized company in my town, had to come back and make up for some skipped firewalls between sone new condos they built in Hazelwood a few years back.
Quality of materials really makes a difference. In my neighbor's house you wouldn't hear a car crash. In mine you can hear automatics shifting.
Thank you everyone for the responses!
I will definitely see if I can find a professional in my area. I am hoping moving is not the direction I will have to take in the near future. I'm trying to avoid that at all costs!

For the year, this is a big wine, a success. New wood flavors and tannins blend well with the weight of fruit, depth of flavor and concentration. The wine has freshness to give with the structure, solid and intense. Certainly for agingfive years and more.
(4/ 2010)
Deep, bright ruby-red. Rather medicinal aromas of cassis, licorice, dark chocolate, menthol and shoe polish went into a shell in the glass. Then suave and surprisingly ripe in the mouth; classically dry but not at all austere, with well-judged extraction to the fla vors of black raspberry, graphite and minerals. Rich, structured wine with a slow-building finish featuring substantial but harmonious tannins and terrific sweetness for all its backbone.
(7/ 2010)
Among the more tannic and backward wines of the vintage, the 2007 is another outstanding effort from this estate. Already somewhat closed, it is a candidate for one of the longest lived wines of the vintage. Beautifully pure black currant and black cherry fruit interwoven with notions of cedar and wood are found in this medium to full-bodied, structured, masculine-styled St.-Julien. The attack reveals sweetness and softness, but then the wine shuts down. It will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep for 15 or more. (RP)
(4/ 2010)
Offers mineral and berry aromas, with hints of dried fruits. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Racy and refined. Very beautiful and polished. Best after 2012.
(3/ 2010)
Bright crimson. Very firm, even a bit oaky! Succulent and pure. Very racy and refreshing. Pure St-Julien. Bone dry finish.

A write pole for vertical magnetic recording is described. It includes a trapezoidal prism of high magnetic moment material, having inwardly sloping sidewalls. Its parallel surfaces are between about 0.1 and 0.3 microns apart and the sidewalls slope in the range of 15.5 to 60 degrees relative to vertical.
1. A write pole for vertical magnetic recording, comprising:
a trapezoidal prism of high magnetic moment material;
said trapezoidal prism having parallel top and bottom surfaces and inwardly sloping sidewalls;
said parallel surfaces being a distance of between about 0.1 and 0.3 microns apart; and
said sidewalls having a constant negative slope, relative to vertical, in the range of 15.5 to 60 degrees over their entire length.
2. The write pole described in
3. The write pole described in
4. The write pole described in
This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 11/588,574, filed on Oct. 27, 2006, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,368,227 which is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 10/660,914, filed on Sep. 12, 2003, now patented as U.S. Pat. No. 7,132,221, both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The invention relates to the general field of electron lithography with particular reference to controlling sidewall slope angle.
As the critical dimension for devices drops below 100 nm, the wall angle (slope) of photoresist becomes very critical for subsequent etching, deposition, and lift off processes. The resist wall angle may vary from positive, normal, to negative, as illustrated in
Positive and normal sidewall slopes can be easily developed from negative-tone chemically amplified resists. However, it is nearly impossible to produce a negative wall angle from either negative or positive-tone chemically amplified resists, especially by e-beam lithography. Due to electron forward scattering in the resist and backward scattering from the substrate, a positive wall angle is usually formed with negative-tone chemically amplified resists. Positive e-beam resists are unable to produce a consistent wall angle and tend to exhibit resist foot necking such as 21 seen in
As magnetic recording is pushed to higher areal densities, perpendicular recording has become a serious candidate to replace longitudinal recording. Perpendicular recording uses a magnetic yoke (surrounded by field coil) which terminates as a single pole that is used for the write head. This pole needs to be wide enough at one end to attach to the yoke and narrow enough at its the other end to confine the write flux to a very small area (typically measuring about 0.1 by 0.1 microns). Objects of this type are most easily formed using micro-molding techniques. Since negative resists can be easily applied to create such molds, it is important to be able to control the slope of the sidewalls.
A routine search of the prior art was performed with the following references of interest being found:
U.S. Pat. No. 5,310,626 (Fernandes et al) teaches using a tilt angle in photolithography while U.S. Pat. No. 6,504,675 (Shukh et al) discloses a trapezoidal write pole. In U.S. Pat. No. 6,255,035, Minter et al. describe two photoresist layers exposed to e-beam to form negative resist sidewalls and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,238,559, Feng et al. teach that undercut resist profiles are easily attainable using e-beam lithography.
It has been an object of at least one embodiment of the present invention to provide a method for forming a photoresist pedestal whose sidewalls slope inwards.
Another object of at least one embodiment of the present invention has been for said method to further allow fine tuning of the exact amount of said negative slope.
Still another object of at least one embodiment of the present invention has been that said method be suitable for use in electron beam lithography.
A further object of at least one embodiment of the present invention has been to provide a process for manufacturing a trapezoidally shaped pole tip for use in a vertical magnetic writer.
These objects have been achieved by first forming a photoresist pedestal in the conventional way. This is followed by flood exposing said pedestal with electrons followed by a second development treatment which results in removal of additional material from the sidewalls, said removal being greatest at the substrate and least at the pedestal's top surface, resulting in negatively sloping sidewalls. Additionally, an application of this method to a process for forming a pole tip for a vertical magnetic writer is also described.
Referring now to
Now follows a key feature of the invention. As shown in
Accordingly, a second baking treatment (heating to a temperature between about 80 and 120% C for up to 5 minutes, with about 100� C. for 2 minutes being preferred) is given, followed by a second development treatment, a key feature being that a more concentrated developer is used this time (immersion in a TMAH solution having a concentration between about 1 and 3% for between about 10 and 60 seconds, with about 2.38% TMAH for 60 seconds being preferred), causing sidewalls 61 to slope inwards (at an angle of between about 15 and 90 degrees from vertical, with a slope in the range of 15.5 to 60 degrees being preferred) so that the pedestal is widest at its top surface and narrowest at the substrate. This is illustrated in
In a second embodiment of the invention, the flooded electron beam is applied at an angle relative to the vertical. This is illustrated as beam 51 b in
An important advantage of the second embodiment is that it enables the extent of negative sidewall slope to be tunable�the greater the beam tilt, the more negative the sidewall slope.
We have applied the above method to the development of a process for manufacturing a trapezoid-shaped write pole for the use in perpendicular magnetic recording. This process begins with the formation of a photoresist pedestal with negatively sloping sidewalls as just described above and shown as trapezoidal pedestal 41 in
A conformal coating of non-magnetic material 91 (such as aluminum oxide or silicon oxide) is then deposited to a thickness that is sufficient to fully enclose said trapezoidal prism (typically between about 0.1 and 0.3 microns) as shown in
All exposed surfaces, including mold 45, are then coated with seed layer 92, as seen in
The process concludes with planarizing until seed layer 92 has been just removed (except inside the mold itself, resulting in the formation of write pole 93.

California Waterkeepers Call for Permanent, Deeper Water Conservation Reforms
Today, the California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) is expected to adopt an expanded emergency urban water conservation regulation. The State Water Board's action comes on the heels of new NASA data showing California has approximately one year of water supply left in its reservoirs, and a poor showing of statewide water conservation in January. (State water use in January 2015 was reduced by 8.8% compared to January 2013; the Governor's emergency drought order requires a 20% reduction requirement compared to 2013). The State Water Board's proposed regulations would mandate common-sense practices that many Californians have adopted voluntarily. New measures include prohibiting watering lawns during, and 48 hours following, a rain-event; a requirement that restaurants serve water only on request; and a requirement that water agencies promptly notify customers of leaks.
As hotter, drier conditions and longer periods of drought could become the new normal in California, state water experts are calling for more sweeping, permanent reforms. California Coastkeeper Alliance and California Waterkeeper organizations urge the State Water Board to pursue measures that would save water in greater amounts, such as stricter regulations on outdoor water use and landscape watering, requirements to use recycled rather than drinking water to water golf courses, and sending better price signals to high water users.

California Set to Become a Leader on Trash Pollution
California is renowned for its iconic beaches, coast, rivers, and bays, bringing over 50 million beachgoers to the shoreline every year. However, trash is accumulating in California's waters and on its beaches at an alarming rate. Too many waters throughout the state are so clogged with trash that they are unfit for swimming, fishing and other uses. Both the problem and solution reside on land. The vast majority of trash that ends up in the ocean travels from stormwater drains to rivers and streams. However, California has no statewide plan for how local governments should prevent trash pollution flowing into waterways.
Over the past three years, California Coastkeeper Alliance has been advising the State Water Board on the development of a statewide Trash Policy. On April 7th, the State Water Board is set to adopt its proposed Trash Policy, declaring a statewide goal of no trash in California's coastal waters, bays, rivers, streams and lakes. The Policy will be a critical improvement to preventing trash from reaching California's waters, and serve as a national model to attain trash free waterways . While some charged with implementing the new plan are pressuring the State Board to weaken provisions and make the Trash Policy difficult to enforce, many business, environmental groups, and state leaders are voicing their support for the adoption of measures that promise to truly reduce trash pollution in California. On April 7th, the California Coastkeeper Alliance, supported by a diverse coalition of allies, will urge the State Water Board to adopt a Trash Policy that requires a clear, straightforward path to compliance that holds each city and county responsible for achieving high, uniform standards.
For a more detailed description of the Trash Policy, read CCKA's briefer.

GameSpy Unveils Top 25 Most Underrated Games of All Time.
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2003
GameSpy, the leader in online game play, is stirring up controversy again by ranking the Top 25 Most Underrated Games of All Time.
The list spotlights some of the most exceptional games in history that went largely unnoticed by either consumers or, in some cases, the gaming press. GameSpy.com editors point out that most of the games were under appreciated because of poor sales, coming into the market out of nowhere, possessing excessive originality or simply being overlooked.
Voted the Top 10 among 25 Most Underrated Games of All Time were: 1 Ico (PS2) SCEA, 2001 - Ico set a high-water mark for purity and simplicity. It has yet to be matched by another game for the sincerity of its world and narrative. From the foreboding opening until the bittersweet end, it's a stunning achievement in game design. 2 Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution (PS2) Sega, 2003 - Sega's consistently excellent 3D fighting series sets a new level of perfection -- perhaps the pinnacle of technical fighting to date. 3 System Shock (PC) Looking Glass Studios/Origin, 1994 - Not a shooter, not an RPG, its disparate blend of gameplay elements shocked and intrigued the few who played it. 4 Alone in the Dark (PC) Infogrames, 1992 - The first true survival horror title ever, it kick-started the genre. Its influence on Resident Evil or Silent Hill can't be overstated. 5 Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (PS2) Sucker Punch/SCEA, 2002 - With splendid cel-shaded style, Sly Cooper looks gorgeous and plays even better. 6 Rocket: Robot on Wheels (N64) Sucker Punch/Ubisoft, 1999 - Rocket had numerous, free-roaming worlds, creative level design and an outstanding physics system. 7 Grim Fandango (PC) LucasArts, 1998 - The best of LucasArts' great adventure games, Grim Fandango featured Manny Calavera, a poor working shlub toiling for the Dept. of Death in the Mexican afterlife. 8 Herzog Zwei (Genesis) TechnoSoft, 1988 - A console game that influenced the real-time strategy genre popular in PC gaming, it had great resource management and two-player head-to-head warfare. 9 Planescape: Torment (PC) Black Isle Studios/Interplay, 1999 - Presenting a unique spin on the D&D RPG license, it brought to light the weird and wonderful universe of the outer dimensional planes. 10 Wheel of Time (PC) GT Interactive, 1999 - Based on Robert Jordan's fantasy novels, Wheel of Time offered gamers a fantastical first-person shooter/adventure with a vast array of magical spells and weapons.
"We've reviewed hundreds of games, some that should have been instant classics, or at least successful titles but just never seemed to get their due," said Dave "Fargo" Kosak, executive editor of GameSpy. "We wanted to set the record straight by giving these games the credit they deserve."

You should be afraid...very afraid?
If there is 1 thing I have learned since "waking up" its that I had been indoctrinated and propagandized into allowing irrational fears to confuse and control many areas of my life. I'm not some superman or have become so certain of everything that I have completely eliminated all my feelings of fear, but I no longer suffer from routine bouts of irrational fear. Sadly, the only time I ever get anxious anymore and/or experience some level of uncontrollable fear is when the very people who I used to think were around to "protect and serve" me...begin to follow me in my car. Or when I see a group of heavily armed members of the State "protecting" an event or public gathering.
Most of the officers where I live seem to be pretty decent individuals but they are still willing members of a gang that is the enforcement arm for a very corrupt corporate/political system. I would never dial 911 regardless of the situation I have found myself in and I no longer support their "benevolent" institutions with donations. One of the few things my parents ever taught me that has some truth to it is that you are known by who you associate with. I will not intentionally ever interact with the police or other enforcement arms for the tyrants that have taken over our country.
I have no fear of walking down a dark alley "in the bad side of town" anymore. I don't fear anyone because of race or ethnicity. I've never been happier in my life, never slept more soundly, and never been as worry free as I am right now...and my life is far from ideal. I used to have lots of money and a nice home. Now I live paycheck to paycheck and live in a very small apt. But I've never felt more free and alive. Everything always seems to work out somehow.
So the clip above was interesting, but when anyone tells me to be afraid...I tend to think that person still has some waking up to do. And anyone that uses scripture as some type of source documentation to back up their assertions...well, they lose even more credibility with me.

Recommend melons for the tropics
Hi all, carolyn got me here after I asked about melons in the tomato forum.
If any melon experts could just give me a few names. I like to grow small fruited ones, 3" diameter type or thereabouts, small vines, productive, sweet(of course) and can be container grown.
I've gone to Baker Creek, and zoomed in on the asian melons section (I live in the tropical part of asia) and thought I would give Sakata's Sweet, Golden Sweet, and Tigger (it's the look really)a try.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I don't know much about growing melons in the tropics, but I do know that Tigger likes very dry conditions. And I've read a lot of comments from people who lost their plants to powdery mildew in humid conditions. Isn't there a Florida forum? That may be the closest we have in the U.S. to tropical conditions.
Here are a couple more links for Asian melons to consider. One mentions resistance to mildew:
Perhaps even better, people on this forum post about fruits in the REAL tropics.
Here is a link that might be useful: Asian Vegetables Forum
As Carolyn said, Florida forum would be the closest in terms of temp. to your conditions. In fact, even the people in the entire East Coast would know more about this than us in the west coast. The one thing I can add is that Hales Best and similar western type muskmelons (with a lot of netting) prefer dry climates. They don't taste as good and are susceptible to a lot of diseases in more humid weather. Most the fruit stand melons I ever see in Florida and humid parts of the US are hybrids. When I lived in Virginia, I grew a Hales Best melon in the warm but rainy and humid summer. Bottom line, it was kind of bland. A neighbor grew a Burpee Hybrid, and it was probably twice as sweet. In any case, neither of those two melons meet your size criteria. 3" across melons are uncommon, but firm-fleshed Korean type melons such as Early Silver line are small and do well in a container, esp. if you have a cage or trellis for them to grow up on. There are some other early melons that size, i.e. Minnesota Midget from Victory Seeds.
Perhaps a seed company from Vietnam could satisfy your needs (see below). I think most of them are more like 5" across, though. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. If it were me, I'd go down to the market and get a local melon with the size and taste you like. Usually, these small family growers do not use hybrid seeds and the resulting plant will be like the parents.
Here is a link that might be useful: Green Seeds
Lilyred writes,
"Anyway, I'm inclined to think now that melons are not suitable for my climate"
Wait, that's not true. There are melons suitable for your climate, though I don't know what they are. I have been to Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia - and we had some nice local melons in the restaurants amd maarkets. But to be honest with you, I was too busy eating the many types of mangoes and other fruit (including Durian) that melons were served mainly for breakfast only.
The Asian veg. forum might be the better place, there are actually people living in the Philippines, Hawaii, etc. that post there.
I'm growing "Golden Sweet" this summer. I live in a Houston suburb where summers are tropical and this melon has done very well for me. It hasn't been affected by any diseases, even after a period of two weeks when we got over 14 inches of rain. By all means give it a try. It has a sweet, somewhat crunchy flesh and fruit are small enough that the vine can be trellised without support.

Yes we all reach an age when the hormones stop, and our waist line tends to go away, and we get a bit thicker. The only way to get totally rid of it permanently is a tummy tuck, and then never gaining another ounce of weight.
I think you are actually a bit too thin, based on the pic you posted, and should not worry. After all that little pooch if proof that you made wonderful, beautiful, people. You should be proud of it.
I think it is inevitable too. So apparently, is peeing when you do jumping jacks when you're 47. And having your period every two weeks.
oh well...
She is also 47 and has a 6 pack to die for. She eats 'clean' and works out every morning...so, yeah, i hate her LOL

Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer?
Alisa Gravitz, Executive Director, Green America
Our profound commitment at Green America and at Green Festival is to champion the actions that will bring about a green economy and a just, sustainable society—for you, your children and all generations to come.
The strategies for change that we use combine the power of the "no"—demanding corporate responsibility to stop the damage and suffering caused by business-as-usual—with the power of the "yes"—advancing the healthy, green solutions that provide a better way forward. While the "yes" strategies are always more joyful, it is imperative to take tough stands against dangerous and irresponsible practices that undermine the health of people and our planet.

insulation question
Not sure where else to post this.
I have these bays between the joists in my laundry room. See picture below.
IYou can actually see the exterior brick if you get up there and look down.
Do these bays need to be insulated? Would rigid foam on the bottom and exterior portion caulked into place do the job or just shove some fiberglass batts up there?
that one inch opening goes all the way down
between brick & wall.
spray foam would be easiest fastest option.
you'd spray the opening in pic two.
you might could seal with foam board..very carefully
caulking it to air seal.
packing fg batts only slows air movement..doesn't stop
are you asking about inslating joist bays?
or just air sealing gap behind brick @ tops of
what's above? conditioned space?
is this a basement?
what is that uninsulated duct?
best of luck.
Master bedroom is above. This room,the laundry, is the lowest level of a split level. It is conditioned space as well. It is not below grade. The uninsulated duct is one of two ducts for the bedroom.

Initial Performers Announced for 2015 ACM Awards
The first round of 2015 ACM Awards performers have been announced.
The first round of 2015 ACM Awards performers have been announced.
The nominations for the 50th annual Academy of Country Music Awards are out, with Miranda Lambert leading the pack with 8. Congrats to all the nominees!
We all know of singers who have lip-synched in concert and other live performances. It's just that you don't normally get a confession from the artists that they actually didn't sing live!
It's the year of the King -- King George Strait that is!
Last night at the 49th ACM Awards my Parrain walked away with the fan-voted Entertainer of the Year award. Quite a fitting tribute to the man who's had 60 number one hits.
Blues and deep reds were popular amongst the best dressed at the 2014 ACM Awards on Sunday night.
Men dominate the 2014 ACM Awards Worst Dressed list. Someone needs to work with these guys to make a few adjustments, because each is really not that far away from drifting down the red carpet unnoticed at worst. There is one female star on our list of fashion felons. Four of these five makes one mistake, while one becomes the first person to make both Best and Worst lists.
The 2014 ACM Awards are upon us, and everyone wants to know ... who will this year's big winners be? The nominees are an impressive bunch of country music artists, each vying for a chance to bring home a gleaming trophy.
Fans can vote for Entertainer of the Year and New Artist of the Year for the 49th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, to be held on April 6th in Las Vegas.
Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes will kick off ACM Week in Las Vegas with a free show on Thursday, April 3, at the new LINQ on Las Vegas Blvd.
On Sunday, April 6th is the 49th annual ACM Awards with hosts Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan. The two goofballs hosted the show together for the first time last year and they're excited to be back as the masters of ceremonies again.

Kelly Clarkson has been making the press rounds to talk about her latest album, Piece by Piece, but she wasn't just chatting about her music during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday. Kelly played "Plead the Fifth" with Andy and admitted, finally, that she did in fact date her fellow American Idol contestant Justin Guarini. There was speculation that Kelly and Justin, who took first and second place, respectively, on the first-ever season of Idol in 2002, were dating at the time, but she cleared those rumors up saying, "We didn't date during Idol, which everybody thought we were dating. We did date a little bit. Any two people who are thrown together that much . . . I'm just sayin'" They remained close after the successful premiere season of the reality competition, since they went on to star together in the musical From Justin to Kelly.

Kelly Clarkson has no need to "Plead the Fifth."
The always candid Kelly played Andy Cohen's popular game on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Thursday night, when the 32-year-old "Heartbeat Song" singer got defensive about her infamous August 2013 tweet calling out MTV's Video Music Awards performers that year.
"Just saw a couple performances from the Vma's last night. 2 words.... #pitchystrippers," she tweeted.

Most people assumed she was throwing shade at Miley Cyrus, whose now infamous "Blurred Lines" performance with Robin Thicke had everyone talking.

The legendary love story in "From Justin to Kelly" was the real deal. Kelly Clarkson and her Season One runner-up Justin Guarini followed up their time on "American Idol" with one of the best worst movies ever made, the aforementioned movie musical that took place during Spring Break in Miami. And while the romance wasn't exactly realistic on film, sparks were flying off set. The "Heartbeat Song" singer was on "Watch What Happens Live" last night, where Andy Cohen put her in the hot seat for a round of Plead the 5th -- and that's where the truth about Justin came out. "We didn't date during 'Idol,'" Clarkson said after he asked whether they hooked up. "We did date a little bit. I think any two people that are thrown together that much would date. Guy, girl, 'Timeless' [a duet from their musical], put that song on, you can't fight it!" Cohen also »

Gay or straight, Kelly Clarkson doesn't care how her kids end up – she just wants them to have their own happily ever after.
In a new interview with ETonline contributor Chris Azzopardi for PrideSource to promote her latest studio album, Piece by Piece, the pop star revealed the very personal reason sexual orientation isn't an issue when it comes to her kids, particularly 8-month-old River Rose.
"I just hope [River Rose] finds love," Clarkson says. "It took me a while, man. And there was a lot of heartache throughout those years. You know, as long as she's happy, I don't care either way, and neither does my husband. And we have two other kids as well, and we don't care either way for all of them."

Anyone holding their breath for a From Justin to Kelly sequel (do those people exist?) should let out a giant exhale right about now.
Amid a press tour for her highly anticipated new album Piece By Piece, Kelly Clarkson just can't stop hating on her big screen debut. Turns out, she was very opposed to filming it in the first place.

In a revealing 25 Things You Don't Know About Me piece with Us Weekly, Clarkson opened up about a devastating phone call with American Idol creator Simon Fuller.
"I cried for a solid hour on the phone with the creator of American Idol and pleaded to be let out of the contract that said I had to film From Justin to Kelly," she said.
Clarkson's tears weren't unfounded: the film, penned by Fuller's brother Kim, opened in 2003 to scathing reviews and only $2.7 million at the box office »

The purpose of this new program is to provide an additional opportunity for junior and senior LBRN PUI faculty to engage in clinical and translational research. It is specifically linked to LA CaTS through collaboration of faculty, training opportunities, infrastructural resources and partial funding.

Feel the burn of P90X on Xbox One with Xbox Fitness
P90X has joined Xbox Fitness for Xbox One this week with a 30-day program priced at $59.99.
The program features P90X creator Tony Horton and five exclusive workouts. A downloadable calendar and nutrition plan are also on the way, with an expected mid-August release.
The fitness stuff on Xbox 360 was okay if frustrating at times, so I'd be interested to give it another go with the newer Kinect for Xbox One. Find Chris' impressions of Xbox Fitness over here.

Come to Sierra Club fundraiser at G2 Gallery
G2 Gallery in Venice will host an evening dedicated to the works of Alan Ross and donate benefits from an opening reception on Aug. 3 to the Sierra Club. Join us by attending the reception ($10 per person) and viewing the stunning photographs of the American West.
The show is called "American Grandeur" and features Ross' black and whites. After years of learning under venerable master of photography Ansel Adams, Ross made a name for himself capturing iconic western vistas with an expert eye and printing process. Much of "American Grandeur" features still, arid deserts and various unique plant life that dots the dry landscape; from twisting bristlecone pines to detailed aspens.
Yosemite, Death Valley, and Bryce Canyon are just a few of the western locales in which Alan found natural beauty waiting to be captured in classical black and white.
The stark contrast is reminiscent of Adams' work, and Ross' years spent as his assistant are evident in the show. The fine detail, distinct composition, and powerful use of black and white echo Adams' work while also standing on its own; a collection influenced by one master, and created by another.
The opening reception runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Aug. 3. RSVP to the gallery if you plan to attend. The show remains on display until Sept. 15.
G2 Gallery is located at: 1503 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice, CA 90291
