DataGravity, an early-stage company whose mission is to turn Big Data into information simply, has raised a $30 million B round led by Andreessen Horowitz. Andreessen partner Peter Levine gets a seat on the board.
Previous investors Charles River Ventures and General Catalyst Partners, which kicked the start-up off with a $12 million A round, also participated.
DataGravity said it will use the money for product development as well as marketing and sales.
It's trying to develop products that remove the need for complex software packages to extract value and information from stored data. It's expecting to field its first product next year.
The company's founders includes CEO Paula Long, one of the founders of EqualLogic, which was acquired by Dell for $1.4 billion in 2008, and president John Joseph, the former VP of marketing and product management at EqualLogic.
The Nashua, New Hampshire-based start-up is supposed to be positioned to be in front of a potentially enormous market and Levine expects the funding "to move it forward in addressing the enterprise mandate to radically change the way IT extracts information from data."

The concept of a cloud facilitating applications is by no means new. Those of us who diagrammed network connectivity around 1993 will recall drawing a big puffy cloud symbol in between two local area networks. The cloud represented the mysterious Internet – that mash-up of routers and other items bouncing our packets back and forth through millions of ports, only to reassemble the bytes on the other end into – hopefully — the same item that was sent. Today, we have dissipated that nebulous clou...

Other Lebanese, however, express misgivings about the imminent arrival of the outspoken Iranian president, fearing his stage-hogging antics will provoke friction along the perennially tense Lebanon-Israel border and potentially aggravate already strained ties between Lebanon's Shias and Sunnis. On Tuesday, an open letter signed by 250 politicians, civil society activists, journalists, doctors, and teachers called on Ahmadinejad to stop meddling in Lebanese affairs and end its military and financial backing for Hezbollah.
Front line?
"One group in Lebanon draws its power from you… and has wielded it over another group and the state," the letter said. "Your talk of 'changing the face of the region starting with Lebanon' … and 'wiping Israel off the map through the force of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon'… gives the impression that your visit is that of a high commander to his front line," the letter added.
Hezbollah has requested its supporters turn out en masse to greet Ahmadinejad when he arrives Wednesday on what will be his first visit to Lebanon since taking office in 2005. Iranian and Lebanese flags line the highway linking Beirut's city center to the airport alongside portraits of a smiling Ahmadinejad inscribed with "welcome" in Arabic and Farsi.
Hezbollah follows Iran's religious system and is the recipient of large quantities of financial and military aid from the Islamic Republic.
Ahmadinejad's visit will be a welcome morale booster for Hezbollah at a time of rising tensions in Lebanon over an investigation into the assassination of Rafik Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister who died in a truck bombing in February 2005.

While romcoms and black comedies may have more sophisticated plots, satires are the films that guarantee us the most laughs. Sometimes you want permission to laugh at movies rather than with them, and satires remind you that familiar movie conventions are strange and sometimes hilarious. We just noticed that one of our all-time favorite Mel Brooks movies has hit Netflix, so without further ado, let's celebrate this nutty genre. "Airplane!": Insanity at 20,000 Feet The bawdy sight gags and astounding one-liners of "Airplane!" run together in a nonstop medley, but I'd like to point out another highpoint of this disaster satire: You can't pick a single Mvp in the ensemble. Every actor is perfectly cast and perfectly effing weird. Robert Hays is stone-eyed and slyly ridiculous. Julie Hagerty is a wide-eyed cuckoo.

After six seasons on mega-hit "Lost" and currently starring on CBS' "Hawaii Five-0," now in its fifth season, fan favorite Daniel Dae Kim is stepping behind the camera.
"When I was working on 'Lost,' I shadowed a few directors because it was something that I was interested in, but it wasn't the kind of series where a newcomer could just hop on. It was very complicated," Kim tells Variety of his decision to direct.
"I just watched and learned, and when 'Hawaii Five-0′ came along, once we had a few seasons under our belt, I thought it was the right time to ask. Thankfully, CBS and (exec producer) Peter Lenkov were kind enough to give me a shot," Kim says. "It's a combination of having the desire and getting the opportunity."

Some of the greatest (or at least heavily favored) American television shows got the big screen treatment when they were selected to have their small screen following turn into a cinematic experience. Unfortunately, for every beloved nostalgic television show that translated successfully in movie theaters (The Brady Bunch Movie, Star Trek, Batman, etc.) there are boob tube stinkers that overtake the good crop. Sure, there are middle-of-the-road movie adaptations of television programs that have a mixed bag reception (1997's Leave It To Beaver, 1987's Dragnet, 2012's Dark Shadows, etc.). Nevertheless, it is always the unflattering fare that receive the bulk of the attention (do you register, 1999's The Wild, Wild West ?).

The Wedding Ringer, 2015.
Directed by Jeremy Garelick.
Starring Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Olivia Thirlby, Ken Howard, Alan Ritchson, Dan Gill, Jorge Garcia, and Cloris Leachman.
Two weeks shy of his wedding, a socially awkward guy enters into a charade by hiring the owner of a company that provides best men for grooms in need.
In a week which saw long-running NBC show Saturday Night Live celebrate its 40th anniversary as the staple of American comedy, it seems apt that a comedy starring Kevin Hart, who auditioned for the show a few years back similarly to Jim Carrey and Zach Galifianakis, is released. Like Ride Along and Think Like A Man, The Wedding Ringer relies heavily of Hart's usual charm and comedic talents to carry a somewhat mediocre concept through to box office glory, but with a less than stellar box office take in the Us thus far (the No. »

I was surprised by The Wedding Ringer. Actually, I should clarify that statement: I didn't hate The Wedding Ringer. Released in the January doldrums, backing Kevin Hart as its headline act and sticking by a title that sounds uncomfortably familiar to that other wedding movie from over a decade ago, not much was weighing in its favor. The movie, while entirely predictable and with the occasional questionably offensive joke, never becomes the broad, pandering slap-stick-a-thon its scant trailers make it out to be. Unfortunately, on the other hand, I'd be hard pressed to argue that anyone walking out of the theater this weekend will remember it come the Spring.
Kevin Hart plays Jimmy Callahan, the self-described wedding ringer, who sells a sort of best-friend-for-hire service to friendless grooms. At varying levels of service, he attends rehearsal dinners, talks up the groom to family, and gives a big, emotional »

The Wedding Ringer, 2015.
Directed by Jeremy Garelick.
Starring Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Olivia Thirlby, Alan Ritchson, Josh Peck, Cloris Leachman and Jorge Garcia.
Two weeks shy of his wedding, a socially awkward guy enters into a charade by hiring the owner of a company that provides best men for grooms in need.
Confession time: I find Kevin Hart and his unlimited energy for hyperactive comedy antics a hoot. We are talking so funny to the point that I almost automatically to an extent can enjoy anything Kevin Hart is a part of. He knows how to deliver lines, make the most of his limited physical stature for laughs, and how to take his frenetic style of comedy and turn it into a sledgehammer of a weapon.
So it goes without saying that I did find parts of The Wedding Ringer hilarious, but make no mistake about it, »

Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a likable shlub with a fat bank account, a beautiful fiance (Kaley Cuoco) and one small problem. He has no guy friends to be his best man and groomsmen at his upcoming wedding. That all changes though when he discovers Best Man, Inc. and its CEO, Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart). He won't be your friend after the wedding, but for a small fee Jimmy will be the best best man you could have hoped for, for a slightly bigger fee he'll also include one or two groomsmen for your special day and for $50k? For $50k he'll roll out the Golden Tux package. The illusion works flawlessly for the first few minutes, but it's all downhill once grandma (Cloris Leachman) catches on fire. The Wedding Ringer is less of a movie than a log line, and it's a fact evident through almost every one of the film »

Chicago – "The Wedding Ringer" is a Wedding Stinker. It's a misogynistic trip through a barren land of hackneyed premises, stock characters, female stereotypes and strained physical gags that exemplifies everything that is wrong with big studio comedies today.
The sheer fact that it even lunges out of the starting gate is a credit to the whirlwind of activity from star Kevin Hart. But the little man's riffing can't shock this film to life.

Hart plays Jimmy - a professional best man for hire. He'll give you the best man of your dreams for a very lucrative price. He's apparently very successful – despite the fact his business is run out of a basement inside a run-down go-cart track. It's really just another character that allows for Hart to run his mouth off. In one of the hoariest plot devices to come out of the old Hollywood script-o-matic, »

Hey film fans, are you ready for the first odd coupling "bro-mance" of 2015? Well, you'd better be, cause it's here at the multiplex now. It owes little to that Neil Simon classic creation other than an unlikely pairing. Perhaps it's closer the 48 Hrs films or the Rush Hour series, although race and ethnicity doesn't factor in quite as mush as those earlier action comedies. And what instigates this team-up? Why it's that epic fodder for catastrophe, a big wedding ceremony, where slapstick, conflict, and deception collide. Throw in a shady transaction and you've got a new big matrimonial farce in The Wedding Ring (get it, ring, and singer, eh?eh?). No need to mail in a RSVP, just get your tickets at the box office.
As the film opens, we meet frazzled fiance Doug Harris (Josh Gad) as he calls up every fella' he »

Let's clear up a few things about The Wedding Ringer right off the bat. First, it's a Kevin Hart film. If you don't like Kevin Hart (I do) then don't go see the movie, you most likely won't enjoy it at all. Secondly, it's rather misogynistic. This is more a bromantic comedy than a romantic comedy as the men primarily speak as if the ladies aren't in the room. If such comedy offends you, perhaps you too might want to sit this one out. Otherwise, The Wedding Ringer is a mixed bag. I smiled and laughed frequently while I found myself saying, "Okay, get on with it," more than once. It's not a strong brom-com contender, but it should satisfy the right audience in a pinch. There is little out of the stereotypical norm as we meet Doug (Josh Gad), an overweight, nerdy, loner type, who's engage to be married to Gretchen, »

The sweet-and-salty chemistry of Josh Gad and Kevin Hart is good for a few yuks in "The Wedding Ringer," a well-cast but clumsily assembled buddy-for-hire comedy that increasingly smacks of desperation as it approaches its big-day climax. It's not that there's anything wrong, in theory, with setting Cloris Leachman on fire or showing a guy getting fellated by a dog, but these and other sub-"Hangover" hijinks feel like over-the-top distractions from an otherwise predictably earnest tale of a big-hearted loner in need of some bromance en route to the altar. The ever-popular Hart scored a January 2014 smash with "Ride Along," and if this Screen Gems item doesn't hit quite the same box-office sweet spot, it could nevertheless pop a few champagne corks in Sony's beleaguered executive suites.
Hart previously played a best man in last summer's "Think Like a Man Too," and he mercifully embodies a less manic, »

While "The Wedding Ringer" isn't the total waste of time that its painful trailer (and January release date) threatens, it's also a movie whose occasional good ideas are ultimately drowned out by sloppy, contrived screenwriting. On the scale of Kevin Hart vehicles, it's not up to the standards of "Think Like a Man" and "About Last Night" — but hey, at least it's better than "Ride Along" or "Think Like a Man Too."
The screenplay by Jeremy Garelick and Jay Lavender offers up an intriguing premise and some truly unpredictable comedy misdirects, but you can feel the »

Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. I have had a difficult time getting in the groove of having a 3 yr old and baby, but things are finally settling down a bit and I think I am kind of getting the hang of this! It has been crazy though with my DD turning 3 and birthday parties and all that good stuff! Plus my best friend got engaged and is getting married this August and I am the matron of honor so lots of crazy going to be happening this year! At least we have a vacation planned the week after her wedding (which will be much needed I am sure!)
So I had my 6 week appointment (my last one) with my Midwife and I have to say I almost cried. I really enjoyed my appointments and just chatting with her. But what made it worse is that she told me that there is a good chance she will be moving to Texas (from Ohio) in June. I know it is a little soon, but it will make me so sad if I have to try to find a new Midwife for the next one (if we are blessed enough to have more! ) I told her that for selfish reasons I hope they are able to stay!!
Anyway, Atlas is doing great and has been gaining around a half pound or so a week so my Midwife said he is doing fine with just breast feeding. He has finally started sleeping other places than just in my arms so I have been able to get much more done and am getting more sleep. My DD, Gloria, still loves him and is a surprisingly good helper with him. He smiles all the time and just melts my heart. He has been a little more fussy than at first but nothing too bad. I just love kissing his chubby cheeks!
I thought about starting another thread with a list of all the mamas screen names, baby's name, birthday and measurements. Would anyone be interested in me doing this so that there is a condensed list? What do you think?? Or anything else I can add?
TSpencer, I'm sorry your midwife might be moving. It would be so stressful to have to find someone new. Especially after spending 9 months together and bonding over something as emotionally powerful as birth.
Kat is doing well. Her latch is not great. She has a pretty significant tongue tie and a floppy larynx. And I appear to have a bit of oversupply. Nursing is not exactly pretty and involves a lot of choking and gulping and gasping. But she's gaining weight nicely so no one wants to do anything about her tongue tie. Just wait and see. It's frustrating to see her struggling to eat and while she may grow out of the tie and my nipples are fine, I just don't see why she has to choke on every meal for the next few months.
But otherwise, she is sweet and mellow and makes the best faces. She's quite active and I'm already afraid she's going to flip herself off the bed or sofa if I walk away. She's been a remarkably easy addition to our family and even though DS has fits of jealousy and can be a little too exuberant while playing, he is doing much better than I expected and finally, finally cuddled with me while I was feeding her tonight.
Cwill- Aw that stinks that they won't do anything for her tongue tie! But at least she is getting enough! I wish I had that oversupply. I want to start pumping and freezing just in case I need it for some reason or so DH can feed him sometimes and have that bonding time. The times I have pumped and given him a bottle he chokes, and sometimes he just chokes on his own spit. Both my kiddos take after DH with little throats. Sorry that the time has gone by so quickly! Hopefully you will have a smooth transition back into work.
I have the same worries about Atlas rolling already. He is a very strong little guy and when he is on his belly he scoots. It's crazy! Thats great that you DS is cuddling again!
The IBCLC I talked to recommended Dr. Brown's narrow nipples for the slowest flow of milk. Maybe that would help with choking?
I haven't done enough belly time yet. That's impressive that Atlas is scooting around already!
Thanks! I will have to try that out!! And when I say scooting, it is more like him getting so angry that he kicks and kicks and scoots across the blanket in rage. haha not like he is trying to crawl or something crazy like that. He is pretty incredible but not a super baby or anything. I didn't mean to make it sound like that. oops!
tspencer - I figured that's what you meant! Still, it's impressive to see how much they can move around at this age and sometimes it seems with such purpose.
Coralie looks like such a big girl already! How is she doing?
Anybody else sick of winter? It's usually my favorite season - I love to ski and skijor and snowshoe and play in the snow. But it's hard with a newborn and a 2 year old who hates putting on a jacket and hat and mittens. I feel like I've been trapped in the house since the beginning of December. My SIL lives in San Diego and I'm tempted to ask to move in with them for the next month! Next time I'm having a spring baby!
This is my second newborn who doesn't like to be worn. I carried DS in my arms all the time. He hated all of my carriers. It's a little bit more difficult to have 2 arms preoccupied this time. I tried Kat in a ring sling yesterday and it was a little better. But she still feels like she needs arm support in there so it's still not great.
I haven't been around much lately but am happy to see that people are still posting here!
Romeo will be three weeks tomorrow, still feel like we are getting the hang of things. Some nights he will sleep for four hour stretches, but then others he just wants to nurse all night long. I think he went through a growth spurt for a few days earlier this week, and he was nursing constantly. DH goes back to work full time on Monday, he has been working half time since after the first week. I never really stopped working from home, had Romeo on a Saturday and worked a few hours a day the following week, but I am worried about how it will go now that I won't have DH helping out.
Romeo was 9 lbs 4 oz. at birth, and was 9 lbs 10 oz at our two week midwife appt, and I am guessing he is well over ten now. His little cheeks just keep getting chubbier. He is pretty calm for the most part, and has been having longer periods of being awake and alert. Breastfeeding is going well. We met some colleagues of mine for dinner on Monday night, and I nursed in public for the first time, (other than at my very crunchy pediatrician's office, where half the moms are nursing,) at a hipster bar/restaurant. We were next to the bar which was filled with bearded young bike messengers, and I got a few confused looks, like it was the last thing they expected to see...but no dirty or disapproving looks. I forgot that NIP takes awhile to get the hang of! Definitely flashed some folks!
Here are two recent photos, one of Romeo tonight, and one of DD (who just dyed her hair purple) holding him several days ago.
Hi Neara! Romeo is such a handsome boy! I'm sorry you've had to work this whole time, but I bet your DH and DD are big helps. NIP definitely has a bit of a learning curve. We live in a NIP-friendly place, I've never worried about it. But there is some definite juggling going on with a newborn. I was nursing DS until so recently that I forgot how awkward newborns are!
AFM, DD starting taking a pacifier 2 days ago, which has made fussy evenings much less fussy! Yay! But at 4 weeks PP, I have hemorrhoids. Boo!
How's everyone else?
At 7 weeks Paulina is great. Usually sleeps at least one 4 hour stretch (sometimes more...Heaven!) in the night and getting more and more alert and smiley but still super tiny (less than 8 pounds!! Which is what most of my babies are at birth...or more!)
She's very expressive!!

He's a pretty decent sleeper, but I think it's more that I've been cosleeping from the beginning instead of fighting with a crib.
He's a pretty fantastic nurser -- much easier this time around.
It appears I make monster babies who start out modestly sized but grow exponentially.
He started at 8lbs even and at 3 weeks he's almost 11lbs!
My beloved cat passed away last week and we got a new kitten, who loves to snuggle the baby.
Paulina is the sweetest! Does maternity leave end for you at 8 weeks? I hope you can get your BP under control. It's not possibly postpartum pre-e, is it? I don't know how long you can continue to be at risk or even what they would do.
Pam, wow! He's growing! I think Kat had grown half a pound from her birth weight at 3 weeks. But maybe I grow average-sized babies in utero who end up small. We'll see! I'm sorry for the loss of your cat. :( Losing a pet is so hard. We actually lost our dog 2 weeks after Kat was born. It makes me sick to think about it. Especially because I spent 90% of my pregnancy annoyed with him. And especially because our first dog died tragically shortly after DS was born. It feels so cruel and unfair. Dogs have been such an important part of my life, but I think it will have to be a few years before we bring another into our family. :(

I was supposed to go back to work this week but didn't.... just too tired still at only 4 weeks postpartum. My temp was happy for the extra money and seems to be hoping I'll decide to take a few more weeks but we need me to get back... hoping going back to a more familiar routine will help our 3yo, who has been having a rough time. She's been kicking and fussing and peeing in the family bed and keeping us up until 11 or 12 which is hard on all of us, but especially Mama who also gets up with the baby a couple times a night...
I love the NIP acronym - lol! And yes, I too had both forgotten that it's more challenging with a newborn who still needs some help latching on at times, and also hadn't considered that my favorite nursing shirts from before are summery and also too small, as I gained more weight with this pregnancy. (Ugh, I know the weight will come off, but I hate not having anything that fits well, especially going back to work!) Iona is nursing well, but we haven't yet gotten proficient at side-lying (aka sleeping, obviously!) or walking about, and she seems needier than #1 was... but in other ways, more content (she doesn't scream the whole time she's in her car seat! Yay!).
Physically I'm feeling really good these days, other than tired. The postpartum hemorrhoids (I feel for you cwill) finally abated but without any rhyme or reason... I had been eating all the fiber and probiotic foods I could and taking magnesium citrate to no avail, still pooping rocks. And then suddenly one day everything changed, and it started to heal... thankful, though perplexed!
Hugs to those who lost pets recently... we don't have any now (just the dozens of farm animals) but I still feel sad about the dog we lost almost ten years ago now...
I'm having very vivid, strange dreams these days... not sure if it is sleep deprivation or hormone related, but it's kind of interesting as I don't usually remember dreams at all... Also my skin has suddenly gotten extremely dry and itchy, especially my face, which I suspect is hormones... still having sporadic spotting and just got over a mild yeast infection but overall, everything is going better than last time and I know soon it will all even out... No ppd tendencies this time either it seems - nothing terrible last time, but a few very weepy weeks and at times some scary thoughts. Don't really know if I'm riding out the hormones better this time just because my body has done it before, or knowing what to expect...
Take care all... take joy in those amazingly precious newborn noises before they are gone!

Julianne Moore dishes on 'Love,' shift to lighter fare
Julianne Moore dishes on 'Love,' shift to lighter fare
As Julianne Moore could tell you, there's more going on backstage at the Academy Awards than hugs, tears and photos.
Two years ago, between Oscar presenter duties at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, she and Steve Carell agreed to play a troubled married couple in "Crazy, Stupid, Love."
"Steve said, 'Did you read the script?' and we had this really nice conversation."

Fantastic towel set
100% bamboo, so they're extra absorbent. Don't be alarmed by the thinness of the towels. They're way better than cotton.Read More
Not lush enough
The idea of bamboo towels is very appealing. Now I have never gotten any so I don't know if ti's normal but they are not lush and fluffy which is what I wanted.Read More
Very nice towel set
This was a gift to my mom. I sent her 2 sets of these, and she says they feel so nice.Read More
Absolutely LOVE theses towels!!!
Not only are they the most absorbent and softest towels to use, but they absorb water like sponges only better! My grown daughter was equally impressed!Read More
Very Happy
I love bamboo sheets so I wanted to try the towels, but I was a bit worried after reading the reviews that some people felt they were too thin or not absorbent. For the record, these towels are a nice thickness, maybe slightly thinner than an average decent quality towel but 30% heavier in weight. They are very soft & silky feeling. I tried them Before washing, lots of lint. I washed & dried them as directed in cool water on delicate but I did use a dry ball to see it that would make them fluffier but took them out just before they were fully dry (Never use fabric softener in detergent or dryer for towels or they won't absorb as well). I did wash them separately from other clothes this first time. Only had about 1/4 lint in my trap & 95% of lint gone when using towel, next washing will likely get rid of any further lint issue. They Are very absorbent, but in a different way than cotton. They don't seem to grab the water as fast in the beginning but they absorb more the wetter they get, like a travel towel but better. And they do dry much quicker, no musty odor, but they feel slightly slippery when dry so I can see why some people mistakenly think they're still wet. If you can't get over that, a mix of bamboo & cotton may be best for you. The material is more delicate than cotton, got a tiny fuzzy, so I won't use a dry ball again to make them last longer. Like silk, I think the material is strong overall, but weaker to cuts & abrasions. It Does pull more than cotton, BUT since the material is very silky, you can use a pin or darning needle to "fix/even out" the pulls! I was afraid to cut them for fear the towel would unravel (I've never been able to fix pulls in cotton towels, I just trim them & cotton is "rougher/stickier" so it doesn't unravel). I"m not sure how durable they'll be compared to cotton, but I love the softness & quick dry odor control, so I'm very happy with them! P.S. I got the Blue, but knew from a prior review that the color was not as pictured, so I wasn't disappointed when it came as a medium light grey blue that was still pretty (I just wanted a little color to hide stains, etc.). It would have been nice to have the brighter color as pictured & unfortunate that the colors aren't accurately depicted. But overall I'm very happy with Overstock prices & quality.Read More
The best towels ever!
I love bamboo products. I have Bamboo sheets and have been lookibng for bamboo towels a long time. They are often expensive but these towels are a great value priced fairly and the softest towel I have ever felt. Keep in mind material is super absorbent so towels are thinner than cotton but it does not matter they do a great job! The color is as pictured and beautiful. I love these towles so much after using them a few times I bought more.Read More
Not Colorfast
I washed these towels once and started using them. Within a few days golden spots appeared on the bath towel. I have had this happen with another set of towels which weren't 100% cotton and have been told that the dye doesn't hold. I liked the color (kiwi) and thought that they were super absorbent. But, if they continue down this path, they will end up with gold/yellow spots all over them. Totally bummed as they were for a bathroom remodel.Read More
Nice towels
These towels are nice but thin and not easy to use. They are not easy to hold on to. They have a slick surface. Although I continue to use them, I probably won't buy more.Read More
Bamboo towels
The towels were very absorbent and dry quickly. I am using them on our RV and quick drying is pretty important. They are not thick and luxurious, however. The softness of these towels were not as soft as another set of bamboo towels that I purchased from Overstock. Those were really soft. Overall I am happy with this product.Read More
Questions & Answers
To compliment the new shower curtain and mat that I ordered
are these machine washable and can they be dried in a standard dryer?
Thank you for your question. Yes, the towels can be washed & dried, in a regular washer and dryer. They need to be washed, as directed, in cool water on the delicate cycle. Have a great day.
If no thread count, what is the gram count?
They are 500 grams per square meter.
How much do these towels weigh? What is the thread count?
They are not cotton so there is no thread count measure. I will check on the weight and post an answer soon.
When might yo be able to give me an answer for the question of weight???
Shopping Guides
Bath Sheets vs Bath Towels
Most bathroom decorators are accustomed to purchasing conventionally sized bath towels. Standard-sized bath towels are usually included as part of a set. Buying a set is often easier on the pocketbook, and there's no need to worry if your bath towels will match your hand towels and wash cloths. Don't scrub the notion of incorporating bath sheets into your bathroom sets, however. Bath sheets, due to their size and volume, add considerable luxury whenever you step outside of the shower or tub.

Bathroom and kitchen decor really starts to come together when a single theme unites the room style. Matching bath hardware is especially good at accenting a room. If your towel bars, faucets and soap dispensers all match, everything will look more polished and permanent. To help this theme, you can install a built-in countertop soap dispenser next to your bath or kitchen sink. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do it.
How to Keep Towels Fluffy and Soft
Have your towels become stiff and scratchy? Don't throw them away just yet. Hard water and fabric softeners can diminish softness, but after following a few of these tips, your towels will be fluffy, soft, and even more absorbent than they were before.
Best Bathroom Ideas for Kids
Make bathroom decorating a creative and enjoyable experience for your children. Use their favorite hobbies, colors and critters as inspiration for their bathroom decor. If you are decorating a kids' bath on a budget, use paint or bright towels to give the old bathroom a new look. Start with an attractive bathroom accessory such as a vibrant shower curtain and choose bathroom decor to match. If several children will be sharing the space, choose gender-neutral themes and colors.
How to Choose a Mattress for Your Student
A mattress? Why would your student need a mattress? You've bought toiletries, bed linens, folders, a desk lamp, bath rugs, towels; the list goes on. Your child doesn't need a new mattress, right? Dorms provide mattresses, right? Sure they do. They're thin and lumpy and have been slept on by 100 strangers. Ensure that your son or daughter stays healthy and gets the rest every student needs by sending them to college with a quality mattress.
How to Display Bathroom Towels
The time has come to pull those stacks of bathroom towels out of the linen closet. The fact is those colors, patterns, and textures can add visual pop to an otherwise plain bathroom. Adding layers and textiles also softens the prevalence of cold, sleek, and glossy surfaces. Here's how to style your towels and put them on display.
Top 5 Bath Accessories to Create an At-Home Spa
Any bathroom can be a lavish retreat with the right bath accessories. A step above your basic bath coordinates and bath hardware, luxury bath accessories help you achieve a calming bathroom and provide stylish functionality that will make you feel like you're at a spa. If you want to create the feeling of a day spa at home, start with these five bath accessories.

StarCraft II: Legacy of the VoidTalk10
this wiki
This article or section contains information from StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void.
The content may change substantially over time.
- Chris Metzen describing the game(src)
|StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void
Science fiction real-time strategy game
PC, Mac
Mouse, keyboard
Legacy of the Void is the name of the StarCraft II protoss campaign and episode.
It will be the third StarCraft II product and will be released separately from the other two games, Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm,[1][2] occurring after them chronologically,[3] beginning immediately after the ending of Heart of the Swarm.[4] It was expected to be priced as an expansion in 2009.[5] However, it will now be released as an independent installment, not requiring StarCraft II vanilla to run.[6] It will receive a simultaneous PC/Mac release.[7]
The game's beta will begin on March 31, 2015.[8]
- Story summary.(src)
|StarCraft storyline
The protoss were being systematically exterminated and were dying out from sheer age even before the Great War.[9] The protoss have been picked off one-by-one, and their shattered civilization will fracture as something even worse happens, forcing a leader to save them from annihilation.[10] Various protoss factions will be united for a last stand against Amon.[11]
The protoss will be at the forefront of the story. Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan will feature in the story, but Amon is the primary issue. Chris Metzen has likened the story to that of the film 300, with a small force engaging a much more powerful one in a desperate last stand. The storyline will conclude the StarCraft II trilogy,[12] and will bring an overall end to the StarCraft saga that began in the original game.[13] However, the game has been written in such a way that those who haven't played the previous installments (a possibility as per the game's stand-alone status in terms of installation) will not be lost.[14]
Locations visited in the campaign include Korhal and Shakuras.[15]
Artanis intended to retake Aiur, but found himself leading forces against Amon instead.[16]
The attack speed of units in the game has, as of February 2015, been reduced by 40% when compared to Heart of the Swarm, while adding damage to compensate. Scan range has also been increased in order to increase unit effectiveness in combat.[17]
Legacy of the Void is primarily a singleplayer expansion.[18] The campaign was intended to focus on Zeratul as its main character[19] but the focus changed to Artanis by 2014.[20] Zeratul will still feature prominently however.[11]
Artanis will travel on the arkship Spear of Adun and interact with characters such as Phasesmith Karax and a preserver, Rohana. The ship will have been derelict for hundred of years and will require upgrades.[20]
The protoss campaign will be based on diplomacy as the protoss factions splinter.[21] The player will work with different protoss tribes[22] and sects, helping leaders of some sects which will anger others.[23] Using units from one side may preclude using units from the other side[21] and alienating one or another sect may cut the player off from part of the campaign.[23] New allies will bring with them new technologies and techniques. This forms the basis of the game's army customization.[20] The ultimate goal of the campaign is to unite the various tribes into a viable, unified force that can ensure the protoss' survival.[24]
The game will feature upgrade choices in a similar vein as the armory and evolution pit from the previous games[25] through the solar core and war council.[20]
It is intended that the game's campaign have its own feel distinct from Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm. In the latter, Kerrigan composed a great portion of her forces' strength by herself. For Legacy of the Void, it is intended that no single protoss warrior be comparable to her in that regard via gameplay. Zeratul may be an exception, but any such missions would be based on stealth (e.g. assassination). The power of the protoss in the game is to come from the protoss as a whole, not a single individual.[26]
It has been indicated that Nova will make an appearance in the game,[27] and hinted that the hybrids will play a "critical role."[28]
- Amon
- Artanis
- Matt Horner
- Karax
- Sarah Kerrigan
- Jim Raynor
- Rohana
- Selendis
- Urun
- Valerian Mengsk
- Vorazun
- Zeratul
New units were confirmed at BlizzCon 2014, along with Archon Mode[29] and Allied Commanders. The game will also feature automated tornuments[7] and new tilesets.[30] Units may be added/removed prior to and during the game's beta.[31]
Blizzard intends to focus on micromanagement (to avoid simply using large unit clumps), harassment, and constant attacks in the new expansion. "Passive time", such as the low-activity early-game, will be avoided. Changes include reducing the amount of minerals and vespene gas in order to encourage the creation of new expansions. The starting worker count will increase from 6 to 12, and the starting buildings (command center, nexus and hatchery) will create more supply, psi and control to make creating new workers possible).[32]
Game speed has been reduced to be syncronous with real-time. This will affect speed values, movement speed values, cooldown times, research times, upgrade times, and unit build times will all need to be re-memorized. Players are encouraged to offer feedback as to whether this change is preferable. Whatever the case, Legacy of the Void will either feature this time system, or the old one, not both.[33]
Mech and air upgrades may be split for the game.[34]
Blizzard is considering making adjustments to the game's ladder system.[35]
By 2013 Blizzard Entertainment had begun working on Legacy's story, scripts and missions.[40] As of February 2014, Blizzard was "hard at work" on the game,[41] and work on the game's cinematics was well underway.[42] By August 2014, the development team was in discussion concerning community suggestions pertaining to the expansion.[43] The game was formally revealed at BlizzCon 2014.[44]
New artists were brought onto the game's art team that had not worked on Heart of the Swarm.[11]
The story of Legacy of the Void was the first point of development for the game, as the gameplay of StarCraft II had been solidified with the previous titles. The story was worked on collaboratively between James Waugh, Chris Metzen, Samwise Didier, Jason Huck, Allen Dilling, Justin Thavirat, Matt Morris, and Dustin Browder over the period of several months[11] (Waugh was the lead writer).[45] As of August 2013, the game's story has been written, many of the cinematics have been completed, and voice actors have begun work.[46] As of November 2013, Dustin Browder was satisfied with the game's story, but felt the missions and campaign mechanics needed more work, to make them "feel" like protoss missions.[26] The story is intended to capture the tragic nature of war, and to have a dark tone, as per it being the final installment in the StarCraft II trilogy.[47]
It was intended for the story to have the following tenants:
- Create a distinctly protoss story while wrapping up the story threads of the StarCraft II trilogy—keep the story focused on the protoss and their lore.
- Create an epic end times scenario for the player to stand against—deliver on the threat of Amon.
- Fullfill the fantasy of playing as protoss.[11]
Through the nature of the Khala, it is intended that the game explore themes of collectivism vs. individuality.[11]
In 2011, Chris Sigaty expressed doubt that new units would be added to the game, and that if they are added, it is likely that other units will be removed from multiplayer.[48][49] This was refuted by Blizzard employee Kevin Johnson in 2013 stating that "no new units isn't a direction we're considering or have ever considered."[50] New units were revealed at BlizzCon 2014.[51]
The game's beta was announced in March, 2015.[33]

Images: Vogue.it
naoooomi is gorgeous with short hair!!! i love how shes posing on something that looks like a restraining chair in a mental hospital . WEEEERK!!
Damn Naomi!!! She looks so young and fresh – she must be on that Benjamin Button. Do it!
The angles in Naomi's face are so much more visible without all that long weave. You can see how gorgeous she looks. FAB!!!!!
She's so Beautiful…I can't take it!
She's the last standing of the super models for a reason. No Cindy, Linda, Christy, Heidi, none.
This is half and half for me. Some of the pics are gorge and others are a bore.
I saw a few of these images and I thought they were throwbacks. This woman is gorgeous and ageless. Absolutely love her.
She's gorgeous.
Naomi is timeless, now if she could stop being bat crazy . . .
Queen Mother has blessed us
Like this retro look on Naomi. Before I made the first pic bigger, thought it was Dorothy Dandridge….who I am such a fan of.
Love the hair in the first pic
she's giving Angela Bassett in that 1st flick big time!
now i NEED to see Naomi in a Fellini / Hitchcock film.
Naomi is beautiful and this is a wonderful spread.
She looks gorgeous, and elegant and the black and gray actually makes the clothes pop.
Work it Ms. Naomi! She's still a bombshell being 40+. Her show The Face looks like its going to be full of drama. Can't wait for the next episode.
Lord, no one can make a camera work like this woman. Seriously. Steven, Pat and Miss Campbell if u didn't know…why isn't this my life? No need to answer homes.
i feel she should an actress, stunning. these stills look so real like from a sick movie. well done.
That first photo is "EVERYTHING". Naomi's beauty is timeless
I would love to see her keep her hair short and natural.
Baddest b*tch on the planet.
Shame about the photoshoot concept, but she still slays!
Love her

The Edible Pyramid
Good Eating Every Day
The head waiter-a French cat in tails-the Edible Pyramid restaurant, explains the dishes to his customers, a menagerie of other animals in equally formal attire. Each segment of the pyramid is presented in a two-page spread, defining the food group mentioned and illustrating it with many mouth-watering examples. The recommended number of daily servings is also explained, and after going through the entire menu, the maitre'd helps his diners select a balanced meal. Paintings of the animals and food are done in muted colours. A small pyramid appears in the corner of each illustration, with the block being examined highlighted.
