When a child actress is called a vile name by an long-running satire site, a beautiful young singer is labeled a stoner for wearing dreadlocks and a phenomenal 13-year old-female athlete is called a slut, they deserve more than a canned, robotic mea culpa.
Unfortunately, the damage resulting from the nearly decade long apex of black female confinement is substantial.
It feels like Hollywood is finally starting to get what so many of us knew all along; audiences want to see diversity. Yet somehow, at this exciting moment of progress for the industry, Deadline Hollywood found it appropriate to publish what can only be described as a call for regression.
John's life has a lesson for us today. His struggle -- our struggle -- for a just society, for true equality and respect -- is not over. Far from it. All we have to look at is the widespread assault on the Voting Rights Act today. But like him, we cannot walk away; we cannot give up.
Stephen A. Smith is just the latest in a long line to peddle the delusion that the GOP can change its ways and become an open-arms party for blacks.
There's nothing to be happy about -- no feel-good takeaways -- when a middle school girl gets insulted by a man and has to speak up for him so he can continue a baseball career no one gives a fuck about. She is not supposed to be anyone's savior or protector. We need to be saving and protecting her.
Channeling the revolutionary essence of the Harlem Renaisance, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is a gripping, soul-driven melodrama that masterfully depicts the story of a courageous young man fighting through the painful process of liberating himself.
In our everyday fights to silence the racist chants of misguided college students and stifle overaggressive police who racially profile black children, we must reach the finish line. The next generation should never have to question whether their lives matter.
Despite past voting obstacles, there are compelling reasons for blacks in Ferguson to rush to barricades this time to vote. One is the prospect of a regime change. Another is they could move to dump the racket that city officials have run for years that criminalizes virtually the city entire black population. Another is there's no excuse.
The n-word has the blood of thousands of lynchings, beatings, and other horrific crimes melded between its letters, meshed in its very fibers. So, why do some white people want the right to use this abhorrent word again?
The tragic discovery of a missing African-American man's body hanging from a tree in rural Claiborne County, Mississippi is now being investigated by both state and federal authorities.
I was running errands with my youngest two children in tow when an acquaintance of ours spotted us and came over to say hello. She looked at my son, marveling over how much he had grown.
"Yes," I smiled, "He's a big boy!" She replied, "Such a cute little thug." My son is 2 years old.
While we applaud Starbucks for their effort to engage a topic that many seek to avoid, and while their efforts seem well-intentioned, we, as a national racial justice organization, with a name similar to the hashtag used in the campaign feel compelled to say: as a nation, we need more.
Funding for school policing programs has expanded and more school-based police are being armed with the same weapons cops carry on the streets. This expansion has not come with significant strings attached or proper guidelines.
With all due respect to Pastors Creflo and Taffi, instead of wasting community funds on frivolous expenses like a Gulfstream G650, maybe you should spend more time reaching out to the community in order to understand what they need, and how you can use your ministry to support them!
I have benefitted from black gay privilege throughout my career as a senior human resources, financial and diversity officer. I have accessed spaces and opportunities that "stereotypical" black men were not able to access.
Last week, the Presidents and Deans of America's 13 United Methodist Seminaries -- representing over 5,000 seminarians, including over 1,000 African-Americans -- wrote a thoughtful open letter outlining a vision from which all of us, whatever our faith tradition, can learn.
Fighting predatory lenders can feel a little like taking on the 2015 Kentucky basketball team, but last week the odds for millions of underdogs across America got a lot better.

Take away the money. Take away the fame. Would Montana still want to do porn? I don't think so.
So her Mom knows she is sexually active and using birth control and just wants her to be happy, but is a conservative? I can actually believe that. That's unconditional love for your child. Montana obviously loves herself too. With all this love going around in this young woman's life does she need a Savior life the rest of us or does she have enough to last throughout eternity?
She must remember that her past will continue to hunt her for the rest of her life. There might be a time when a great man possibly a christian man come into her life and not be very pleased with her past.No age gap is too wide if you both feel so right.We don't care about the social "norm" but chemistry. Many couples with age gap work out fine and get alone splendidly. We celebrate the age gap love ``c o`m and May-December romance. We have achieved tremendous success bringing couples together.
BV you are not fooling anyone. you've had this story about montana the whore on your front homepage for THREE days straight now. meanwhile the omar thornton story got a little sideline for a day. is this the type of black woman you want to uphold on a black website? you should all be ashamed
How do you think this is going to go down when video two is released. Here is a press release
She have no sense of what moral values are. She think this is success.I hope she burn in hell.She is a embarrassment to her Dad.
Montana please call sister helen jones at the holy church house.1-800-find -jesus,you need saving
Okay! now people! please!!! help me out with this one ok?.... did she just compare her fathers work (acting) that our entire society recognizes and, her f**king on camera (is she really! F**king/ acting ???) to be the same as her fathers???.... if that's not delusional!... damn! then it has to be crazines!....and, she says her mother is more conservative than her father and, she supports her porn... please!...
Teenagers are teenagers. Do you really know what your child dreams about>
She is one simple trick being influenced by the so called fame of all those other simple tricks who made sex tapes and then got 'famous'. What a crock of shyt and if I was Mr. Fisburne I'd sue her lil'azz for defamation and slander. She is using his name just like Paris Hilton used her father's name and then got wrote out of his will . This is another example of our kids not having any real role models either in entertainment or at home. This is so sad it's ridiculous.
Look at Mia Campbell, I know her situation is very different, but this is what happens when kids have no guidance. I really hope this girl opens her eyes quick before she finds herself being unable to turn back.

It's been more than a decade since Maggie, Terre and Suzzy Roche released a new album together, but you wouldn't know it from listening to Moonswept. The sisters' distinctive harmonies still lock together so precisely that a younger listener might naturally assume them to be a result of technology as opposed to biology (or practice). Nearly 30 years removed from their self-titled debut, they've moved beyond the thrill of lighting up folk music with the spark of youth; much of the material here describes the heavy load of experience, and that includes the number by Lucy Wainwright Roche, Suzzy's twentysomething daughter with Rufus père Loudon Wainwright III. But that doesn't mean the music is spark-free: Three-part harmony has a way of sounding joyful and melancholy at the same time. The Roches capitalize on this quality in "Family of Bones" and the title track, which appears to tell the siblings' sweet-and-sour story with a vocal melody that keeps sliding between consonance and dissonance. Fortunately, their fondness for ribald pre-rock novelty songs hasn't abated with age, either. "No Shoes" is the keeper here, a tongue-twisting number in which they complain about meeting a man with no balls until the man with no guts shows his sorry face.

Now, what are your favorite golden foliage plants?
I really like all pictures and comments in the thread about dark foliage/flower thread.
I am a big fan of bright colors in the gardens. Here are my golden plants.
1. Spiraea japonica Golden Elf. Grows in dappled shade for me. In full sun could be even brighter I guess. A dwarf variety, looks great in front of taller plants:
2. Spiraea japonica Lemon Princess - forms a very neat mound. Blooms with pink flowers, but the main attraction is the foliage.
3. Golden Oakleaf Hydrangea 'Little Honey' - lovely compact shrub for semi-shade:
4. Hostas!
5. Hakonechloa 'All gold' and 'Aureola' (Japanese Forest Grass):
6. Caryopteris - Sunshine Blue� Golden Bluebeard
Not so favorite:
1. Golden Creeping Jenny. Lovely color, looks fantastic next to dark plants, but extremely invasive. Will keep mine in containers only:
2. Golden Heucheras. Got rid of mine - very weak plants. Do not have room for under-performers in my garden.
So, what are your favorite golden plants?
Pictures please!
1.) Yucca 'Color Guard' (Best variegated yellow foliage and stays nice all winter!)
2.) Dicentra 'Gold Heart' (Gold Bleeding Heart) Spectacular!
3.) Aralia 'Sun King' (Looks tropical!)
4.) Heuchera 'Citronelle' (It's not weak to me!)
5.) Heuchera 'Electra' (Not weak and has grown great for 3 years now!)
6.) Hosta 'Sun Power'
7.) Sedum 'Angelina'
8.) Sumac 'Tiger Eye Gold'
9.) Tradescantia x 'Sweet Kate'
10.) Vinca 'Illumination'
11.) Agastache 'Golden Jubilee
Also, I love Heliopsis 'Loraine Sunshine.' It's not gold, but the white in the leaves really 'pops.' It brightens up the garden and also has yellow blooms in the summer!
Sorry, I didn't have time to post photos of all of these.
Some of my favorites:
Disporum bodinieri 'Sina no tsuki"
Ceratostigma willmottianum 'My love"
Transdecantia 'Sweet Kate' and Berberis 'Lime Glow'
The berberis quickly goes to yellow in my zone 8B
Have another berberis that is also very yellow...Gold Pillar Sunjoy...more upright in growth, great in a pot.
Golden oregano...great in a pot or the ground...easy!
That picture was taken in 2010. It doubled in size since then and more than 3' across now.
This year we had a late frost and most of my hydrangeas are bitten. The foliage does not look pretty with this frost damage.
I checked it out yesterday and I have blooms on it!!! Can't wait seeing it in bloom finally.
Thanks for all these wonderful pictures guys! You are not only great gardeners. You are also very talented photographers :o)
Many plants mentioned here are new for me - had to google them...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots have plenty of work to do with their offense before they show they can contend for another Super Bowl berth.
Chances are they'll do it.
With just one of their four exhibition games remaining, the Patriots haven't moved the ball consistently while shifting players around in the offensive line and dividing playing time among receivers, several of them not likely to make the team.
Still, coach Bill Belichick wasn't happy after Friday night's 30-28 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which Tom Brady threw an interception for a touchdown and was sacked twice.
"We didn't do anything offensively except lose yardage and turn the ball over. It was tough to watch any of what we did offensively," Belichick said.
The Patriots added talent and depth to their already potent passing attack in the offseason by signing wide receivers Brandon Lloyd, Donte' Stallworth and Jabar Gaffney. They already had Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez to catch Brady's throws.
But Welker sat out the last two games and Lloyd, Gronkowski and Hernandez returned Friday night after resting in the Patriots 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. And Brady played just two series in the opening 7-6 win over the New Orleans Saints, then didn't suit up against the Eagles.
Once the top players get their usual playing time in the regular season, the offense will pick up. Still, Brady did play three quarters at Tampa Bay and threw for just 127 yards on 13 completions in 20 attempts. And Lloyd caught only one of those passes.
"We've got a lot of work to do in being consistent and putting drives together to get the ball into the end zone," said Lloyd, who played for the Patriots' new offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, the past two seasons. "We are developing as an offense and we're trying to integrate as much of the running game and pass catchers as possible, but I think what it is coming down to is that we all need to make plays and be more consistent out there on the football field."
That should be easier once the first-string offensive line is back together.
Left guard Logan Mankins played Friday night for the first time since undergoing offseason knee surgery. Sebastian Vollmer will help at right tackle once his back problems subside. And right guard Brian Waters, outstanding in his first year with the Patriots last season, would be an improvement if he reports to camp.
Belichick hasn't said why Waters hasn't shown up, but there's still two weeks left before the opening game at Tennessee on Sept. 9 and he could be ready by then.
Left tackle Matt Light, who protected Brady's blind side for the past 11 seasons, retired and has been replaced by second-year pro Nate Solder. But Brady said he still has confidence in the offensive line.

If this bill does go through and goverment does have a control over a majority of websites….what if that power gets into the wrong hands? hackers or terrorist then they will have a control over everything that keeps us moving every day cyber war is real!…Please dont allow this to go through for the sake of our country!
do NOT allow this bill to pass it will cripple our nation as a whole, and destroy what our founding fathers have created for us…This is the land of the of the Free!! lets keep it that way!
Well, well, well. Take a look at those monetary donations thrown at our senators and representatives by the interest groups that support this bill.
The ironic thing is that I will wrangle (not to be confused with Rangel) opencongress.org in any way I can to help elect Ron Paul, whereupon we will proceed to put an end to forcing the public to pay for opencongress.org. This outcome would ideally be but a benefit of ending the income tax. Isn't it fascinating how the Eastern Bloc repudiated Communism in the early 80s, yet the U.S. increasingly embraces Communism?
@allyReport101 You asked, "Can anyone explain the difference between burning books and taking down websites", and I will try.
Burning books requires a source of heat and oxygen. Taking down a copy[]right violating website requires only an injunction.
Can anyone explain the difference between wire communications and the Internet? – No you cant because they are just one method to wire communicate.
Appeal Brief PDF
So much for freedom in America. Download anything everywhere but here in our great country? Sounds like these congressmen are getting paid by the American taxpayers and the media moguls. Where does it end? It doesn't. Once the door has been opened, it only gets wider. If the American public had as many lobbiest on Capitol Hill as big business, "We the people" would mean just that.
Internet censorship has been required by law since 1934 but has not been done by a free pornography loving United States. The end of the pornternet is at hand. Appeal Brief
Can anyone explain the difference between burning books and taking down websites>? Want a huge government have intellectual property law_ Something that is not scarce cannot be owned, a song/movie/media can be recreated by anyone with a tape recorder or computer, this does not mean you can take credit for creating a song you did not write, but what is shouldn't mean is that the writer has a team of armed goons ready to stick guns in people's faces demanding payment for singing their songs at karaoke_
We will never be ready for Internet censorship. This bill is overly broad, and therefore it is too ridiculous. It is very important that you should oppose this bill and save the Internet!
I could understand who someone could IP as far as exact copies of movies, music, movies and books go. But, when it comes to someone incorporating a part of another person's IP in their own original work like remixes of songs or even something more mundane like a mother posting a video of their child dancing to a song on you tube civil or criminal penalties for those actions are simply indefensible. Patents on drugs or chemicals are completely ridiculous. Patenting a chemical compound is like patenting the color blue or the process of making a sandwich. Patents like that only hurt consumers. The only reason drug companies need patents to earn crazy profits is the oppressive over-regulation perpetrated by the FDA. If it wasn't for the ridiculous drug regulations healthcare would be much cheaper too.
The "natural rights" rational v "utilitarian rights" rational are mutually exclusive rationals for IP that is very obvious but apparently was over N. Stephan Kinsella's logical abilities? This may have came from the incorrect claim on page fifteen.
"Only A has the right to copy the book (hence, 'copyright'"
N. Stephan Kinsella therein reveals a fundamental logical error. There are no "natural rights" involved whatsoever in United States copy[]right or IP laws. The rite of printing a book was initially called a "right" when Queen Anne allowed one printer to control all printing unless another party was given permission to print. The first copyrite statute in about 1710 or Statute of Anne. I agree with the claim that a personal right can not last longer than a person lives.
Appellant Brief PDF
Intellectual property (IP) was invented by staists in furtherance of crony capitalism. IP is really a ridiculous idea if you think about it. I highly recommend this book to those interested in reading more on the subject http://mises.org/books/against.pdf
This bill sounds regulatory but is another lawyer game and only protects those who purchase "copyrites" as required in §411
What a NOT funny f'ing joke.
Copyrite is a backwards American law that I have called unconstitutional in United States Courts for over three years. The appeal is pending to be dismissed in order to allow search engines to continue to traffic in my nude art to anonymous people who could be minors. I also demand the FCC to regulate wire communications as required by law since 1934.
Appellant Brief PDF
I don't know whats going on or what, but I'm hearing that the government is wanting to track our every move on the internet?! Isn't that invasion of privacy? I don't understand what the fuss is about being able to download songs for personal use you can get cd's at the library for free are they going to go after them too? we are able to record off the radio also are the going to take away our radio also? Where will it end? I think this bill is just wrong and unfair and I don't see the point if we are using it for pursonal use only and not selling it.

Firefox Addon Shortens Lengthy Browser Tasks
Want to automate common Firefox browsing tasks, such as logging into your Web-based mail, or tracking a package online? Then you'll want to give the free DéjàClick a try. It's a simple-to-use recording program that will record your actions, let you save them as a script, and then run them for you.
DéjàClick is an addon for Firefox. It places a series of buttons in its toolbar just below Firefox's Address Bar. You use the buttons to record and save actions, play them back, and so on. To record your actions, simply click a Start button. Then click the Stop button, save your file as a script, and when you want to replay the actions, call up the script and run it. You can also create any script as a "Super Bookmark" that lives in your normal bookmarks. When you click the Super Bookmark, instead of going to a site, it replays the script.
How useful the DéjàClick add-on is depends on whether you have many, long tasks to automate. For me, it hardly seems worth the effort to merely save a few keystrokes logging in to check Web-based email. But others may appreciate it, especially if they check certain categories on eBay, for example, and don't want to spend the navigation effort, or have longer, complex tasks they want to automate.

"This card was absolutely perfect for notifying friends and family of our first home purchase. I loved being able to type a message on the back. The cards came a couple of days prior to when I was quoted, which was wonderful!"
"I was looking for a simple yet elegant card to send basically everyone on my Christmas card list! We have lived in the suburbs for 22 years, so this is a BIG DEAL!! When I found Tiny Prints, I was impressed with everything about the product and ordering experience. Then when the cards came with matching labels, I was so excited!! I had never used Tiny Prints, but when people asked who I got the great cards from, they HAD heard of them! So obviously a great reputation was already there! Thank you, Tiny Prints, for the PERFECT, great quality cards and labels!! I have sent them all out!! I will be back!!!"
"Tiny Prints made this so quick and easy. I have already had people ask or compliment me on the card choice. Great cards!"
"We recently moved out to Seattle,WA and once I saw this moving card I knew it would be perfect to announce our move. Once I sent it out, our friends and family members commented they thought the card was super cute and appropriate too!"
"I am discerning shopper and a self admitted perfectionist! Well with that being said- I had absolutely nothing but positive remarks regarding Tiny Prints. The cards were even better quality then I had expected for the cost. The printing was perfect, the paper were a thicker quality.. I heard comments like "it was so classy".. We will be return shoppers for sure! In fact, I just ordered Invites from Tiny Prints sister website- Wedding Paper Divas."

insects bitting tomatoe plant leaves?
what can i use?
this is is a pic of the pepper and cucumber plants. i cut the tomatoe leaves already
Flea beetles? My tomatoes are getting bothered by them too. Funny because at the beginning of the season they preferred eggplant, so I planted some radishes to take the heat off the eggplant and they LOVED those. When I removed the radishes I guess they decided that tomato leaves are tasty!
I wouldn't risk killing the bees!
Flea beetle damage is not a biggie for me on tomatoes. For leaf crops it's devastating.
Maybe others can chime in and say whether it's worth using chemicals for these.
Diatamaceous earth would be an organic choice.
Flea beetles just love eggplants. And like peppers too. But have not seen them eat tomato laves.
Flea beetle damage is only crucial when the plants are in seedling stage. They cannot cause any significant harm to mature plants. AND spraying cannot kill them because they have wings and fly away .
There are other insects/bugs that eat peppers (NOT tomatoes), like slugs and earwigs.
So I think you need to positively identify the insect and then go after them.
Your pictures look like what is happening to my tomato leaves and egg plant and pepper leaves. I noticed underneath the egg plant leaves is smooth but the tops have white dots on them. These dots become holes. The tomato leaves eventually curl up, and get crispy. Based on this suggestions on his post, I'll continue insecticide soap for peppers and egg plant. For the tomatoes, I try the Safer BT until I can get some malathion.

To investigate whether a combination of acupuncture and acupressure is effective for reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
Patients and methods
In a randomised cross-over trial, 28 patients receiving moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy and conventional standard antiemesis were treated for one chemotherapy cycle with a combination of acupuncture and acupressure at point P6 and for one cycle at a close sham point. The main outcome measure was a nausea score derived from daily intensity rating.
There was no difference between combined acupuncture and acupressure treatment at P6 and at the sham point for the nausea score, but the level of nausea was very low in both phases. The mean nausea score was 6.2 (standard deviation 9.0) for treatment at P6 and 6.3 (9.1) for treatment at the sham point (mean difference −0.1, 95% confidence interval −3.9 to 3.7; p=0.96). Seventeen of 21 participants completing the study would desire acupuncture and acupressure for future chemotherapy cycles, but there was no clear preference for either point.
In this small pilot study a significant difference between treatment at P6 and a close sham point could not be detected. However, it cannot be ruled out that an existing difference was missed due to the small sample size.

Amy Dickinson is a general advice columnist.
DEAR AMY: Last year I got a full-time job as a nanny for a wonderful family with two amazing kids. This family is supportive of me. They have been gracious and accommodating, and they have come to treat me as one of their own. They've expressed a desire that I stay with them for two or more years. My boyfriend and I are making serious plans for the future, including marriage, a house, kids, the works. We've moved in together, opened a joint bank account and are attempting to save for the life we want to build, but my job as a nanny restricts my saving options. I am beginning the process of looking for a job. I'm looking forward to beginning a challenging career in the corporate world. But with the economy being as it is, I don't know how long it will take me to find one. Should I tell the family that I am looking for a new job? I don't want to find one that requires me to begin work immediately, leaving them without child care, but I also don't want them to assume that I'm leaving right away.
Up-in-the-Air Au Pair
DEAR AU PAIR:You don't say if you agreed to stay with this family for two years -- only that they asked you to. Whatever your arrangement, it is reasonable for them to expect you to be honest and to keep them in the loop. They see that you are making changes in your domestic life -- surely they will also understand your desire to advance in a career.
There is a risk they could panic and run off to hire another nanny to replace you before you've secured other employment, but this is unlikely -- they appreciate you and should be happy to employ you as long as you are available.
Tell them: "I love this job and plan to stay here as long as possible, but I have started a job search in the corporate world. I don't have any prospects yet, but I wanted to let you know." Assure them that you'll give them as much notice as possible.

Toward the end of the 19th century, exploration of the mountains was a hot topic, and mountain climbing became the trendiest sport of that time. Many rope teams started their climbs from Hotel Riffelhaus. Among these were the conquerors of the Dufourspitze in 1855. The images of mountain guides in the hotel are reminiscent of all the great mountain climbers of that time and of today – and are a reminder of the history of the hotel.

Global measurements of soil moisture from the NASA SMAP mission will enable global climate and weather forecasting models to be evaluated and improved. Data from SMAP will give information on soil moisture at different scales, but research is needed to understand how to interpret and use these data effectively. A good physical understanding is required to optimise the retrieval system. The objectives of this proposal are to conduct trade-off studies to compensate for missing ancillary data, to identify and minimize the effects of heterogeneity, and to evaluate data latency limitations on weather forecasting. Studies on how to assimilate SMAP data into land surface models will also be carried out. Previous work conducted by this group has included the development of the Level 2 prototype processor for the ESA SMOS mission. We carried out a sensitivity analysis of the tau-omega model to quantify the soil moisture retrieval error from instrument noise and uncertainty in surface parameters. The effects of soil and vegetation heterogeneity were also investigated by generating synthetic scenes and retrieving soil moisture under the assumption of homogeneity. The tau-omega model was elaborated in order to mitigate the effects of heterogeneity in vegetation. Other relevant work has explored the development of techniques to estimate soil hydraulic properties from microwave emission dry-down curves, supported by an intensive field experiment to provide a suite of measurements suitable for L-band microwave model development and validation. As part of the SMAP team, we propose to carry out similar studies to the work that we have already done for SMOS in order to understand the parameter space. We will examine the sensitivity of the tau-omega model to uncertainties in the soil and vegetation parameters, and quantify soil moisture retrieval errors from heterogeneity in the soil and vegetation. Trade-off studies will then be carried out to investigate how frequently ancillary data are required. Missing data will be estimated from previous values and from nearest-neighbours to determine the most accurate method of accounting for missing data, and ancillary data latency requirements. Trade-off studies will also be carried out to inform the best use of the radar data with respect to its power requirements. The temporal distribution of radar measurements will be optimized for a dry-down curve, and the global requirements of the radar measurements will be assessed with global precipitation and flood modelling datasets. We will investigate whether techniques developed to assess soil and vegetation structure from LiDAR could also be applied to the radar measurements. Soil moisture data latency requirements will be identified for a 1-D SVAT, using observations taken from the Sonning Farm experiment and potentially other field experiments. We will liaise with the ECMWF and the UK Met Office to extend these results for GCMs. As part of the UK National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO), we will establish methods to assimilate data from SMAP into regional and global models. This no-exchange-of-funds proposal provides significant relevant effort through the funding for the PI and two Co-Is agreed under the NCEO. As this research is needed for the development of the soil moisture product, which will be used to improve weather forecast and global models, this proposal addresses the following NASA Research Objectives: RO3A.2 Enable improved predictive capability for weather and extreme weather events, RO3A.4 Quantify the key reservoirs and fluxes in the global water cycle and improve models of water cycle change and fresh water availability, and RO3A.3 Quantify global land cover change and terrestrial and marine productivity, and improve carbon cycle and ecosystem models. This research will contribute to NASA Strategic Goal 3, and Subgoal 3A: Study Earth from space to advance scientific understanding and meet societal needs.

'Chuck' Guest Star Bo Derek on What Really Makes Josh Gomez Sexy: 'He's Funny' (Video)
The Hollywood icon tells THR what it was like to play herself on the spy series airing Friday at 8 p.m. on NBC.
Movie star and sex symbol Bo Derek is the latest in a line of iconic actresses who have signed on to the final season of Chuck. As The Hollywood Reporter first reported, she'll reveal some startling romantic details on Friday's episode airing at 8 p.m. on NBC.
PHOTOS: TCA's Notable Quotables -- The Best Spoken Gems of 2012 Winter TV Press Tour
"I play myself with a twist," Derek says in the THR Cover Lounge. "But I have to say, it reminded me of the old days with Blake Edwards and the parts he would write and direct for women, which were iconic, but funny, but physical comedy. So, I really enjoyed that."
Apparently, Morgan (Josh Gomez) had some side adventures when the Intersect got uploaded to his brain earlier this season and it messed with his mind, and Derek was one of those side adventures. Lucky guy. Of course, they had to reference her sexy turn in 1979's 10 while they were at it, and Derek says she was game.

"That whole sex symbol thing I never took seriously to begin with," she says. "Thank goodness or I'd be suffering right now, because it's out of your hands what happens to you with age. But it was fun making fun of myself."
In the previews for the episode, Derek greets Morgan with a big kiss. And I had to find out where he ranked in the field of Hollywood leading men the actress has shared romantic story lines with.
"On the kissing ... he's great," Derek says. "He's funny. A lot of women say humor trumps anything when it comes to sex appeal. So, he has that in spades. And it was a lot of fun. Ultimately, it was the way it was written and it was hilarious. The whole set-up, the twists, the turns -- it was a lot of fun."

Today marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Great Mouse Detective's release ...
The film, costing $12 million to make, the flick grossed $38.6 million domestically, and marked several firsts for Disney.
It was the first animated film greenlit by Jeffrey Katzenberg. (Already in production, the crew wondered if Eisney and Katzenberg would shut the feature down. Happily, they didn't.)
Mouse marked the first extensive use of computer animation in a Disney animated film
TGMD marked the directorial debuts of Ron Clements and John Musker, who of course went on to helm multiple Disney features afterwards, from Little Mermaid to Aladdin to The Princess and the Frog.
It was Disney veteran Bernie Mattinson's first producing gig on an animated feature film. (He had previously produced and directed Mickey's Christmas Carol.)
So. Happy Birthday Great Mouse Detective/ Basil of Baker Street!

Really awful, it's hard to say how bad it is.
Full English breakfast is bacon and egg, that's in. Don't ask for sausage, mushroom, tomato or anything else, they don't have it. Beds uncomfortable and all in all a horrible experience.
We stayed here with friends the other Saturday . We were attending a party locally and managed to find this at £70 per room including a cooked breakfast . That weekend , Halloween , the local Hove hotels were costing £110 + . The Ritz it ain't but , who cares . It's clean , warm and very friendly ....
It's very difficult to book a room, you do have to be persistent!
The location is very good and the property is beautiful inside , sort of faded grandeur although the little details seem to have been forgotten. No tv in the room, no hair dryer, no shower gel but I did have 2 hand washes so had to shower...
We stayed @ Blagdons Manor house last spring and it was absolutely marvellous. The landlord, Dennis, made us very welcome & we really enjoyed the home away from home comforts. The dinning room was open 24/7 and tea & coffee was on tap. The house itself is gorgeous and very central to the lovely village of Southwick. This hotel is...
this was my second visit to this hotel............and seemed to have an even better room than in 2012
i was on the 2nd floor.............where possibly the power of the shower may have been weak..........but i was more than happy to soak in the bath............after a long day playing croquet nearby.
the room was spacious and adequately cleaned each day
It's hard to give an overall rating for this hotel because it is such an extreme mix of very good and pretty poor. It's a lovely Victorian building in a quiet, private part of Southwick, really convenient for the Green, Barn and all local amenities. The greeting we received on arrival was warm, with a very welcome cuppa and a...
I tried to book this place to stay as my friend had managed to book a room.
I don't know how because I tried for 4 days to ring and no one answered the phone. Finally I left a message on an answerphone (the office number not the hotel number) and got an obscure message back but not friendly or...
Stayed for 2 nights with other family and friends as attending a wedding. Nothing was too much trouble for the very laid back host - he was smashing. Our room was perfect for the 4 of us. us Will definitely stay again when visiting the area.
My son got married on Saturday and several friends and family needed to stay in Southwick for the Wedding. Blagdon's turned out to be the perfect place. It is right in the centre of Southwick, near the Church and The Barn Theatre where the reception was to be held. After a few calls to Dennis the proprietor, I did wonder...
I don't know what the fuss is about, iv used this hotel loads for work as its in between Brighton & Worthing which is great for me, it's amazing value and found Dennis the owner very pleasant and accommodating and spent ages chatting he went out of his way to fit us in at the last minute hes a really...

Top 5 Features to Look for in Cell Phone Cases
Cell phone accessories can enhance the usability of your cell phone, as well as protect its expensive technology. Cell phone cases are your first line of defense when shielding your phone from damage, and you have a lot of options to choose from among different cell phone cases and holders. Here are five of the best features to look for in cell phone cases.
Tips on Choosing a New Computer Case
If you're interested in building your own computer, you'll need a new computer case to house all of those shiny new computer components, like your hard drive, motherboard, video card and optical drives. But a computer case isn't just a box to put your components in. Computer cases protect, cool and provide stability for those expensive components. It's important to know a few things about computer cases and how they affect how you build your computer. Here are a few tips to help you choose a computer case that will work for you.
Essential Camera Case Features
When you've invested in a camera, protecting it with a durable camera bag is just good common sense. A good camera case or backpack will protect all your camera accessories and gear without being overly bulky. You can find camera cases in almost every style and size, from simple hard camera-cases that fit in your pocket to full-sized camera backpacks. Whichever type of camera case fits your needs, check for these essential camera case features to be sure you have the basics covered.
How to Choose Between an Internal and External Hard Drive
When you're looking to add a new hard drive to your computer, you have the choice of adding an internal hard drive or an external hard drive. Internal hard drives are installed inside your computer, and external hard drives are connected to your computer via USB or Firewire or some similar connection. External hard drives typically have their own case, called an enclosure; this enclosure is what allows the hard drive to connect to your computer's USB or Firewire ports. If you were to open the enclosure, you would probably find a hard drive identical to a typical internal hard drive.
How To Know if Your Computer Needs an Additional Hard Drive
As software becomes more complex and more multimedia-based content becomes available on the Internet, the space on your hard drive can fill up quickly. If you create your own content, such as videos or music, sufficient hard drive space is absolutely necessary to back up your data in case it is ever lost or compromised. Having enough space on your hard drive also allows the computer to run more efficiently, as performance can be compromised as free hard drive space becomes scarce. This article will help you determine how much space is left on your hard drive and whether you need to add an external hard drive to your system. If an external hard drive is necessary, you will also learn what to look for in one.
How to Buy an External Hard Drive
Installing an internal hard drive is often a more complex procedure than most computer users are comfortable with. If you need extra storage space but don't want to crack open your computer's case, buy an external hard drive instead. External hard drives connect directly to one of your computer's ports and allow you to either backup old data or store entirely new files. There are many different specifications to consider when shopping for a new external hard drive.
How to Choose a Laptop Bag
The purpose of a laptop computer is to move around with you. But if you want to keep your computer in good condition, you'll need a good laptop case. A messenger bag can work, but it might not offer you the protection you need. Laptop bags vary from hard-shell rolling cases to simple padded tote bags, but all computer bags will make taking your laptop with you much easier.
5 Computer Case Features for Your Ideal Machine
While other computer components are more essential to performance, your computer case often is a limiting factor when it comes to which types of hardware you can install in the first place. The right features can open up more options for you in selecting cooling systems, setting up hard drive arrays, and fitting in expansion cards. Here are five of the more essential factors to watch for when selecting a computer case for your next custom PC build.
Business Case Buying Guide
The way you choose to carry your work speaks volumes about you professionally. A good business case can make all the difference in the respect shown to you by the colleagues in your business organization. It makes sense, too; your choice of briefcase or laptop bag shows the level of business concern you have for your work. Of course, the admiration of your co-workers isn't the only benefit provided by a great business case. The right briefcase can also help you stay organized and may even add an underlying dash of style to your work life. Picking the right bag requires a number of considerations, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Save the hard work for when you're on the clock: finding a perfect travel bag, laptop bag or luggage shouldn't be a confusing mess of frustration. To simplify the task of finding a good bag for your needs, break it down. You will want to consider several attributes for your new business case or travel bag, including how you will be using it, the sort of shell that best suits you, your preferred material and the carrying style that will fit your work.
Motorcycle Jackets Buying Guide
Buying a motorcycle is a big deal, but so is buying a stylish motorcycle jacket to go with it. After your helmet, a high-quality black leather jacket may be the most important motorcycle gear you buy. A classic motorcycle jacket not only makes a statement of the wearer's individuality, but it also provides protection against the elements and offers crucial reinforcement for the body in the case of a crash. When you shop for a biker jacket that will protect you for years to come, you'll want to consider the material, the fit, the padding and the pockets. This motorcycle jacket buying guide will show you how to buy the men's motorcycle jacket or women's motorcycle jacket that is right for you.
Hardside Luggage vs Softside Luggage
There are some very obvious differences between hardside luggage and softside luggage. But there are also a lot of more subtle differences, and knowing all the differences between the two types of luggage can help you find a luggage set that is right for you and makes your travels easier. Materials: Hardside luggage is usually made of aluminum or polycarbonates. They are chosen because they have a good strength-to-weight ratio. Softside luggage is made of a variety of materials, including vinyl, cotton, polyester, leather and other durable materials. These materials are chosen because they are lightweight, flexible and durable. Features: The features offered on softside and hardside luggage are nearly identical. They both often offer wheels and extendable handles for convenience when carrying the luggage. Inside, they can have an array of pockets for holding toiletries or preventing clothes from getting wrinkled. What can be different is that softside luggage typically has several pockets that are accessible without opening the suitcase. Also, softside luggage almost always uses zippers to hold it close, but hardside luggage will have some type of latch to secure it. Price: Many factors determine the cost of luggage; one of which is the materials it is made of, but features, size, brand and other factors play a part as well. Not all hard materials are the same and not all soft materials are the same, but on average, the initial cost of hardside luggage is going to be higher than the initial cost of comparable softside luggage. One thing to consider though is value. If you are a frequent flyer, the initial cost of hardside luggage might be offset by its longevity. Use: If you are someone who keeps their luggage close to them and will only take a carry-on with you, the lightweight, flexibility of softside luggage might be better for you. The rigid shape of a hardside case doesn't always conform to the shape of an overhead bin; however, if you like to check your bags, hardside luggage is less likely to be damaged when thrown around in the holding area and will keep its contents from getting crushed when another bag gets thrown on top of it. Bottom line: When it comes down to it, both softside luggage and hardside luggage do the same basic thing. But the choice is about you and what you want. Do you want something that is incredibly durable and will protect everything inside of it? Or would you rather have luggage that is more flexible and lightweight?

Rolex FAQ
FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches | Overstock.comFAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watchesby Shawna Edwards I've never made a large purchase online. Why pick Overstock.com?Overstock.com is one of the largest retailers of high-end jewelry and watches. We have taken the time to create a Web environment that caters to our customers by allowing them to comfortably shop for wristwatches from the privacy of their homes. We offer our customers a wide variety of timepieces at the most competitive prices available. In addition to this, we want them to feel secure purchasing from us. Overstock.com is one of a handful of online high-end watch merchants that are capable of processing your credit card for your entire purchase. This allows "first-time buyers" to feel more secure in making a large purchase because they have an added layer of security via their credit card company. Do all your Rolex watches come with their serial numbers?Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial and reference numbers in place and viewable by removing the watch band from the six o'clock and twelve o'clock ends. What is meant by "Perfect Like New Condition?""Perfect like new (day one) condition" watches are pre-owned Rolex timepieces that are purchased by Overstock.com in pristine, mint and immaculate condition. This obviously is the case cosmetically and mechanically. Every timepiece is thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are authentic and meet our quality standards. These luxury watches are so pristine that, in most cases, they are indistinguishable from new watches. Our men's watches and women's watches may have miniscule markings, and the watch bracelets will have miniscule amounts of stretch. Will my watch come with documentation?Every watch will come with detailed documentation stating a full watch description, serial number and model number. Being that the manufacturer's warranty has expired, you will receive a limited one-year warranty from our vendor. Will my watch be covered by a warranty, and what about post warranty service?Being that the manufacturer's warranties on these timepieces have expired, our vendor issues a one-year limited warranty on every watch. The warranty work is done by expert watchmakers who use only original manufacturers' parts and have decades of experience working with Rolex watches. After the one-year limited warranty has expired, you may continue to request service through our vendor who will service the watch when needed at industry cost prices. How can I be sure that the watch will fit my wrist?All our watches will fit up to a 6-and-a-half-inch wrist for a woman and for a man will fit up to a 7-and-a-half-inch wrist (extra links are available for additional charges). Rolex watches can be easily resized to fit any wrist by your local jeweler. How do I measure for my wrist size?You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft measuring tape or measuring the inside of your best fitting watch. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a ribbon or a piece of string around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and measure it against a ruler to determine your approximate wrist size. To get the best fit, measure fairly snug at the wrist bone. This is approximate sizing not a 100 percent guarantee of prefect sizing.If the watch is a gift and you do not know the recipient's wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (as with all products, the standard sizes depend on the manufacturer):Men's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Average6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2"Adult X-Large8-1/2" to 9-1/2" Women's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small4-1/2" to 5-1/2"Adult Average5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Large6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult X-Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2" Will the watch be fully water-resistant? And can I go swimming or shower with my watch?Every Rolex watch is fully tested for water resistance; the total depth rating is listed with every model. Drawing on years of experience, it is our recommendation that, though Rolex watches are water resistant, because of the fine nature of the timepiece, we discourage our customers from making a practice of taking them in the shower or pool. If for some reason the stem, which is the round mechanism found on the side of the case, which is unscrewed to set the time, is not completely screwed down, water could leak into the movement and damage the watch. (Please refer to your warranty card regarding water damage.) The chances are incredibly slim that this will happen, but nonetheless it is our recommendation that our customers refrain from taking their Rolex watches into the water to avoid any unnecessary problems. How does Overstock.com offer such great prices when my local jeweler has a similar piece for considerably more?Overstock.com has built the best connections in the business, affording us the ability to buy from dealers at the highest level of the industry. Through these connections we can buy in the largest quantities while getting the best pricing. Being that we are not an authorized dealer of Rolex or affiliated with Rolex, USA we are able to offer our customers rock bottom pricing without being subject to any manufacturer's price controls or policies. Do I need to be present to sign for the package?For your safety, you will need to sign for the package that contains your watch. If you are not present when it arrives, the package will not be left at your door. A door tag will be left to inform you when the courier will come to redeliver your package. Alternatively, you can call the courier to arrange a better delivery time or pick-up (with photo identification) at the local hub. What is the benefit of buying a pre-owned Rolex over a new one?Unlike new Rolex watches, pre-owned Rolex watches do not depreciate in value immediately after purchase. Therefore, buying a new Rolex watch is like buying a brand new car: The moment you drive it off the lot it has lost 20 to 30 percent of its value. With buying a pre-owned watch, you have effectively cut out any value depreciation and retail markup. Rolex watches hold their value over time; in most cases, a pre-owned Rolex can be resold at a price very close to your purchase price.Rolex designs don't change too often; therefore, owning a perfect condition pre-owned timepiece is as good as a new one, with no one knowing that the watch was purchased pre-owned. No one can spot a used Rolex on your wrist. With the proper care and maintenance, a Rolex lasts forever. How do I determine the age of my watch?You are guaranteed to receive a desirable modern watch with a fully automatic self-winding (or quartz movement depending on your purchase), with quickset date feature. Due to the fact that Rolex models are manufactured for a number of years, the year of your watch will be circa 1980s or 1990s. Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial number, which determines the year of manufacture. Overstock.com and our Rolex Vendors are not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex, USA Inc., and are not an authorized Rolex dealer. Third party One-Year Warranty.
