Next Zelda
Yeah, that's pretty much all we know of it. The same image shown during the Iwata Q&A session...
Sketchy details like pointing out the lack of sword in the image, Link may be the most grown up yet.
It may or may not use motion plus, that actually depends on how well the accessory sells for now...
And that they strive to attract both veterans and newcomers to the franchise. That's about it, I think...
Nice picture. It strikes me as TP all over again though, because the ghostly chick reminds me Midna for some reason. I dunno about the rest of the Zelda community, but I don't want another TP. I want something new and different and I'm not talking about Links ChooChoo Adventure here. I'm just tired of the same old recycled formula we have had since A Link to The Past back in the early 90's. Get the red, green, and blue gems to get the Master Sword and make something terrible happen and then get the next round of collectables to fight Gannon and save the kingdom. It's gotten old...
I, for one, just don't want a future Zelda. I know a lot of people think that it would be a fresh take on the franchise right now, but I'd have to disagree. So many games right now are sci-fi oriented, and I have little doubt that Zelda would get lost in the flood. Sure, it would still have the name recognition, but it'd end up looking like Phantasy Star or the recent Final Fantasies. And if they went with a more action-oriented edge, then what's the chances it'll end up as some psuedo-marine's in space "epic?"
All he said was they're hard at work. I think for a Zelda this is the most important step really, deciding exactly what it's going to be. They certainly have the skill to make the actual content afterwards, it's the concept that needs to be absolutely spot on. Anyway, not showing it doesn't mean all they have is this picture. It's simply all they have to actually show. Hell, he's not even sure if they'll use motion plus or not so what would they do, show some gameplay and then it ends up being completely different based on that? He said they'll show it next year, I think that means they certainly have a lot of it done already, they wouldn't show a very early version (no, that tech demo was just that, a tech demo, it was never going to be Wind Waker). I also don't see how people can say "omg it's just Twilight Princess 2" from a single image. That's completely ridiculous. It's Link and someone else and that's all there is to it. No story references, no gameplay hints other than the lack of a sword, nothing at all.
Short? It took me about 20 hours to complete it. A pretty good feat for such an easy title where I didn't even die or retry any section more than once... I didn't speedrun it or something but I didn't sit around doing side activities like collecting bugs and such either. It was long.
Motion controls are how you interface with the game. It's still sword fighting for example, whether you do that with actual sword fighting mechanics or with old school button taps doesn't change it and doesn't make one or the other feel tacked on if it's developer properly. Deciding to use or not use it based on motion plus sales doesn't mean they would take a week to adjust it to either scheme. I certainly hope they'll use it heavily, if only for the added immersion alone, though I'm certain it's also much more fun based on articles like this.
Heh, I doubt he'll be packing heat, it could be any number of new concepts. Some have speculated Link now only has "courage" and "wisdom" and "power" are represented by the girl who is able to transform into various weapons and tools. That would be a pretty cool concept. Swing around like a sword and that's what you get. Aim at a distant enemy and fire, and you get the equivalent of the bow. Lock on different targets and you get the boomerang. Etc. Without her, he's useless, with her, he's basically all the triforce elements in one. It's just a theory mind you, I still think it's ridiculous to be "certain" she's the master sword. But that same concept could apply in a different manner, even if she's not the cause.
Heck, maybe we'll have a master mace/ballonchain/whip/whatever this time and that's why it's not in the picture. Not to show the lack of a melee weapon, but to show the lack of an actual sword, being replaced with something that is still a secret. I believe that at one point he had said that Wii Sports Resort activities like the sword fighting and the archery are a good example of how motion plus could work in Zelda so he's clearly fond of the added fun factor with manually swinging a melee weapon around...
I'd be all for that, a little change up in the main weapon. Although, I'd certainly like to see some variation in the secondary weapons as well. The use of the female companion as a weapon/tool could be particularly interesting as well. Following that logic, she could potentially infuse some magic attacks into the series which have been absent since OoT, right? I could be off in memory, but what used magic in Majora's Mask and Wind Waker weren't exactly "magical attacks" were they (transformed abilities aside as the magic meter always seemed a way of limiting their use rather than making them seem magic). Of course this is pretty much semantics, I guess. Oh well.
To me, the colors look like Ocarina of Time's, so using the TP Link gives me hope that the next game has just a bit more color. Also, I'm intrigued about the girl being his sword not just from a story but gameplay standpoint. She might not be just the manifestation of the sword, maybe she could also become any other of Link's weapons. Kind of a stretch, yeah, but atleast it would again make sense as to how Link carries so damn much stuff on him (like how Midna turned his stuff into twilight matter when he wasn't using them).
" The chick is the master sword. "
" The chick is the master sword. "
So awesome! I really didn't expect any Zelda news at E3. Even one picture is a massive surprise for me.
Also note that: It's Adult Link from Ocarina of Time! NOT Twilight Princess! YAY!
It's not the Master Sword. It's a statue - one that I'm betting might yield the location of Princess Zelda, the Triforce, the Ocarina of Time, the Master Sword, any combination of the aforementioned, or all of the above.
Also, if I had to compare the girl to any character, I would say she looks more like Saria than anyone else. The statue is too short to actually represent Zelda, but the height fits for a Kokiri....
...or a child. Maybe all of Nintendo's pandering to little girls has actually been a PR build up to handle the clusterfuck of criticism ensuing their subtle allusions to pedophilia in the upcoming game. Or not.
I'd be fine with it if they kept the same style of gameplay as TP and the other games, but damn it, it would blow my mind if they just make a story that really mattered to all games before and after in the franchise.
" I'd be fine with it if they kept the same style of gameplay as TP and the other games, but damn it, it would blow my mind if they just make a story that really mattered to all games before and after in the franchise. "
All you will get is a headache if you try to approach the franchise as a chronological detailing of Link's travels. The basis of Link's journeys is time; regardless of whether any individual game involves time travel/manipulation, in multiple iterations he has bent time. When time is manipulated, multiple time lines branch outward based on what happened/would have happened/won't happen anymore/will now happen:
So the only basic connection you can really make is:
Ocarina of Time - Wind Waker - Phantom Hourglass. And that's not taking into account that his actions in Majora's Mask may have interrupted the course of history between those three games. All we really know is that at the end of OoT, Link left Hyrule. Wind Waker begins with an introduction explaining that when Link left Hyrule, he never came back. Only one time line will have history progress from Ocarina of Time to the Wind Waker, and this may not include history post-Majora's Mask and other iterations that have had Link bend time -- these consequently creating extending branches that do not necessarily lead to all of the subsequent games in the franchise.
If Miyamoto feels like explaining how Link's history progresses, he would probably have to break the "fourth wall of gaming" to do so. This is the case because all of those different Legend of Zelda games are not all in the same history.

"Master Sword gem tends to be yellow."
The Master Sword's gem in Wind Waker was blue to symbolize it had not reached it's full power, so maybe this girl might be the case. But either way, the gem is still the same diamond shape.

I cant really get excited about this yet, I havent even got to play Twilight Princess. Maybe once im done with that game ill be interested in this game, but until they release details theres no way to care. And even then those details have to come down to "The next Legend of Zelda will be diffrent from previous versions of the game".

DARKE COUNTY – According to a report from the Associated Press, the below-zero temperatures and 20 mile per hour winds are putting a strain on the Midwest's power grid.
A communications representative from Dayton Power and Light stated that 108 of their customers were without power in Darke County as of Tuesday afternoon, though "that changes minute-to-minute."
"The region is experiencing continued extremely cold temperatures – the coldest weather we have had in 20 years. A number of outages are a result of cold weather issues as well as accidents taking down utility poles damaging lines and equipment," DP&L released in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
More than 11,000 DP&L customers were affected from Sunday to Tuesday, DP&L reported. PJM Interconnections, which coordinates the movements of wholesale electricity for 13 states, including Ohio, and the District of Columbia, reported expectations that power supplies might get tight across the region due to record-breaking cold temperatures and many energy companies reaching their peak loads for winter-time.
DP&L reached their all-time high winter peak load on Monday with a load of approximately 3,200 megawatts.
"At current generation levels and if customers are mindful of their electric usage, we do not anticipate shortages in the DP&L service territory," DP&L stated. "Record cold weather is driving electricity use to a new winter record for peak demand. We are experiencing increased loads due to the extreme cold. We set our all-time winter peak load of approximately 3,200 megawatts on Monday. The previous winter peak occurred Jan. 18, 1994 when the temperature was -17 degrees."
DP&L suggested residents have a winter storm kit which includes an emergency radio, a three-day water supply for each member of the family, non-perishable food, flashlights, extra warm clothing and blankets, and medical supplies.
"I say, take the lessons learned from this storm…and apply them to the next," said Lynne Gump, executive director of the American Red Cross – Darke County Chapter. "I think this storm was well forecast and not as bad as originally thought. I think because of that, people were more prepared."
In case of power outages, residents should plan ahead with a safe, warm place to stay should their heat or electric be off for an extended period of time, DP&L representatives asserted.
If residents do experience power outages they should contact the DP&L hotline at 877-468-8243. If you see a downed line, report it immediately and stay away from it. Assume all power lines are live and energized.

Kobe Beef Sliders
Recipe courtesy Jesse Brune, 2010
- Private Chefs of Beverly Hills
- 1 pound high quality ground Kobe beef
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 12 small rolls sliced in 1/2 (recommended: Hawaiian sweet rolls)
- Sliced cheese of your choice (see Cook's Note)
- Micro greens, for garnish
- Condiments of your choice
Start up your grill and make sure it's hot.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl add the beef, seasonings, and shallots. Mix the meat with your hands, thoroughly incorporating the seasoning and shallots. Form the meat into small-sized patties. Put the mini-patties on the grill and cook through, giving it about 2 to 3 minutes per side. In the last 2 minutes of grilling, top each patty with a slice of cheese and allow it to start melting. When the cheese has melted, remove the patties from grill. Put the patties on the bottom half of the bun, garnish with micro greens, and lean the top half of the bun on the side of the slider, exposing the greens, for presentation purposes. Serve hot with condiments on the side.
This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
If giving to your dog, go with a mild cheese

...on an old laptop. How do I connect to my wireless router? I'm connected through an ethernet cable right now. I like the setup (especially for a free download). Where do I go from here?
Not sure because I basically have just done the same thing on an old IBM T21 Thinkpad Laptop that I plan to sell soon that doesn't have a wireless NIC. First time I have ever tried messing with a Linux OS and while I am impressed with how well it runs on minimal and outdated hardware I just don't like not having some of the same features I am used to with Windows.
Go Cubs Go!
You should just be able to connect by clicking on network connections.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo This might be a good place to start - especially if you start by checking your wireless card for compatibility. Even if your card is nonsupported, you can still use it by putting a "wrapper" program around it (the name escapes me for now)
Asteroids are nature's way of asking "How's that space program going?"
SourceForge.net: ndiswrapper NDISWrapper - Many vendors do not release specifications of the hardware or provide a Linux driver for their wireless network cards. This project implements Windows kernel API and NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) API within Linux kernel. A Windows driver for wireless network card is then linked to this implementation so that the driver runs natively, as though it is in Windows, without binary emulation. With ndiswrapper, most miniPCI (builtin), PCI, PCMCIA (Cardbus only) or USB wireless network cards work in Linux with x86 or x86-64. Although ndiswrapper is intended for wireless network cards, other devices are known to work: e.g., ethernet cards, USB to serial port device, home phone network device etc.

[6]To me, reclaiming the word evangelical starts with how Christians see their call by Jesus in Matthew 28 as the Great Commission.
First, having the great call doesn't mean it will ever turn into the great reality. There will always be an "other." Opposite. Those who will never believe, be on our side, or agree with who we are and what we're all about.
OK. Now that we've got that out of the way, the main question is:
What do we do with "those" people?
The reason the word evangelical has become so poisonous is because the answer to the above question comes from a conversion-based model of cultural engagement -- political, theological, and social. Too many Christians believe, and have wrongly been taught, that those "others" and "opposites" who have made an active choice not to believe in "our" teachings are justifiably: 1) left to their own devices as we wash our hands of them because of their bad choice (think in terms of blood-on-their-own-head); or 2) uninformed, so much so that their "no" is an illegitimate answer.
Evangelicals care more about positions --whether progressive or conservative -- than people. We lack nuance. We have become either all scripture or all justice. I don't know where the balance was lost in terms of holding scripture in high authority and, simultaneously, loving with reckless abandon?
Jesus was never the first one to walk away from anything. Not a controversy. Not haters doing nothing but hatin'. Not to the religious leaders who he knew would never believe or listen to him. Not his disciples who sometimes just didn't "get it." And yet, evangelicals have become known for walking away. Or, even worse in my opinion, only going places where they will be the hero of the story.
For instance, conservative evangelicals love Africa. Why? If I'm being honest, it's because no sick mom or baby will ever look at the clean, white, Western American with money and access and say to them: I don't trust you! How do you vote? What are your beliefs on gay marriage, abortion, health care, justice, immigration, etc? Nope. All they do is smile and give hugs because they know help is nigh.
Now, I am not suggesting Christians shouldn't go to and aid Africa. Please, continue to go. But know the underlying motives about why you might rather spend thousands of dollars to fly thousands of miles away, instead of looking around your own neighborhood and investing that same amount of cash into establishing kingdom right where you live.
The reason? Sometimes it's easier to fly across the world and do good. There's no accountability or follow-up like there is with the people, community, and neighborhood that you would have to see everyday if the investment was made in your backyard.
And then there are the progressive evangelicals. They love white people moving into the ghetto.
There is so much activism for every cause under the sun, that for some, the definitive "doing" has trumped the journey. Too many already claim they hold the final answers on all the divisive topics in scripture, and those who don't jump on board with said social justice worldview will not only get left behind, but are ignorant for not seeing their version of the truth.
Once again, I am not suggesting people should not move into neighborhoods that the Lord is giving a passion for. I am suggesting that justice is more than action, it's also a process of relationally building bridges with others who don't agree. That is the only means by which systemic justice can sustainably be implemented -- when both sides of evangelicalism are working to change systems.
Thus, I believe a reclamation of evangelical begins with these three thoughts:
The struggle for any label is both clumsy and backwards because inherent to labels are issues of branding, access, and the potential privilege that comes with "correct" associations with said label. I am Andrew, a man who loves progressives and conservatives and works with both while faithfully seeking to establish kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven. What happens from that work of faithfulness is not my business. Rather it is a challenge to me to see if I actually do believe what the Bible says.
It's the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge, and mine to love.

©2002 H.W. Brands; (P)2002 Books On Tape, Inc.
"With solid research and a sprightly narrative, Brands's portrait of the gold rush is an enlightening analysis of a transformative period for California and America." (Publishers Weekly)
"Brands writes history as the art of storytelling that enthralls and informs the reader. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"An important work of history." (Booklist)
"Exuberant....Entertaining, lively....Brands [is] a wonderfully skilled narrative historian." (Los Angeles Times)
"An engrossing, multifaceted history." (The New York Times)
"Very Enjoyable"
I'm now about a third of the way through "The Age of Gold" and I'm hooked. It's a very interesting social history of the gold rush, and has certainly managed to increase yet further my interest in this period of history.
HW Brands shares the stories of a diverse range of people affected by the rush, and explains how they became united by the discovery of gold in California.
I was enthralled by the original testimonies of many of the gold hunters. Brands frequently quotes diaries and letters and these have given me a much deeper insight into the period - although I had known that the trip to California was far from easy, I've been shocked at quite how bad it was at times!
I would certainly recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in the gold rush, or American history, society and culture. In my opinion, it's a fascinating story of a fascinating time and the only reason I haven't given it five stars is because this is my first Audible download, and so I don't yet have other books to which to compare it!
"Engrossing and informative"
Again, the author brings history to life! A gripping telling of the stories behind the historical period.
Husband, father, building contractor, inventor and audio book lover.
"A great slice of history"
This is a another great slice of history that fills out the narrative of the American experience. H.W. Brands does an excellent job of tying together the east and west formation of our country. The age of gold is a world changing event that moved masses of people around the world and set an example the echoed through the ages. This book puts in context the human nature that drives humanity to seek at all costs the hope of sudden riches. It explanes much about our world and leaves the reader wiser for the time spent listening. Highly recommended. The reader is unobtrusive if not spectacular.
"Gold Rush and beyond!"
This is the most complete book I have ever read about the California Gold Rush! The book follows prospectors to California from all over the globe. How they fared and what happened after the Gold Rush of 49.
Besides the rush for gold The Age of Gold also does a good job with the histories of John C. Fremont. Leland Stanford, M. Vallejo, A. Sutter, and many many more. Also mentioned, in this book, is how the gold effected Later Day Saints, The Civil War, Transcon. Railroad, Pony Express, just to mention a few.
If you love history you will love this book!
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Wish things were longer? Once you hit the anchors of Crash Landing, clip in a looong sling, traverse about fifteen feet right, join Perched (5.10d) at the roof, and finish at the chains of Perched. A big pitch, to be sure. It's likely a 60m would work, but we used a 70. Better safe than sorry. |

Fun stuff. Intimidating and looks small from the base but likely will be pleasantly surprised. Great rock, great edges... reminds me of limestone edge climbing. |

Happy #GivingTuesday
Written on December 2, 2014 at 2:19 pm , by Danielle Blundell
You've made it through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But have you heard of #GivingTuesday, the global day dedicated to giving back? In December 2012, #GivingTuesday was founded by New York's 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation to bring families, businesses, community centers and students around the world together in celebrating generosity and giving. Today, December 2, 2014, marks its third annual observance, and it's not too late to get involved. Helping those less fortunate is a great idea to focus on at the start of a month full of gift giving, family celebrations and winter fun. So today, find a way to do something small for someone else—as a family, with friends or with others in your community. For a list of #GivingTuesday movements in your neighborhood, click here.
And if you want to add a little do-gooding to your holiday shopping and donating this season, check out our tech-savvy friends getting into the giving spirit today. Microsoft is offering store customers a free $10 donation card to #YouthSpark on GlobalGiving with any purchase (while supplies last). They'll also match today's contributions (up to $350,000) to #YouthSpark on GlobalGiving, which supports organizations providing critical technology skills and resources to youth around the world.
Also, starting today and running through December 31, PayPal's launching a holiday giving campaign to match 1% of each donation made at www.paypal-donations.com. Consumers can choose one of thousands of U.S. 501(c)(3) charities, with 100% of every donation reaching each cause.
How will you give back today? Remember to hashtag all photos and posts with #GivingTuesday.

Clean Your Home for the Holidays in Four Steps
Written on November 20, 2014 at 4:02 pm , by Danielle Blundell
With November upon us, we're about to enter prime party season—you know, that time of year when guests are coming over and your home needs to look its holiday finest. No worries! Study up on these quick-clean tips, and your space will be on its way to sparkling in no time.
De-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter. Before you even pick up a mop or vacuum, best to clear off any surfaces that look messy. Grab a basket or bin and go through the rooms where you'll be entertaining, collect out-of-place items and stash them in a closet for the time being. Target the coffee table in the family room, and get rid of catalogs and old magazines. Wipe down your downstairs bathroom vanity. Clear countertops are a must in the kitchen, and never leave pots or pans in the sink for company to see. Load and run the dishwasher before the party, even if you don't have the chance to put everything away. The latest machines, including Samsung's new Chef Collection model, are whisper-quiet and could even be run during the festivities if need be.
Shine surfaces in high-traffic areas. Guests tend to congregate in a few key places during get-togethers: the kitchen, the family room, the dining area. Whatever your cleaning weapon of choice—microfiber cloth and hot soapy water, disposable wipes or all-purpose cleaner and a rag—the process is the same. You want to focus on any visible surface where dust and grime build up. In the kitchen, run a disinfectant over the counters, stove, sink and island. Do the same in the powder room, wiping the sink, faucet and toilet handle. Spend a little time on the toilet, swishing the bowl with a long-handled brush and disinfecting the seat. Dust off the coffee and side tables in the family room, and make sure you wipe down the dinner table before you set it or lay out a spread of food. Be sure to use clean cloths each time you attack a new surface to avoid cross-contamination. Some pro cleaners even designate particular rags or cloths for certain rooms or jobs—a few for the bathroom, a few for the kitchen and so on.
Fake it till you make it. If you have enough time to mop the floors and dust off all your downstairs light fixtures, ceiling fans and baseboards/moldings, by all means do it. But if you can't, your best recourse is to vacuum area rugs and give the kitchen floor a quick once-over with a wet mop or steamer. Fluff pillows and cushions on the sofa, and buff away fingerprints on stainless-steel appliances and streaky mirrors. Put out fresh hand towels and a candle in the powder room. Empty the trashcans. It's all about the illusion of tidiness—that is, until you can actually take the time to do a deep clean, post-party.
Make it fun. Cleaning is a chore, yes, but that doesn't mean it has to be complete drudgery. Bust out that wireless speaker before the party starts, and check out one of the many cleaning playlists on Spotify. Or crank your own. Make it a point to get through all the songs before you stop.

Every Mother Counts
Written on May 9, 2014 at 2:31 pm , by Family Circle
By Reisa Feigenbaum
Just in time for Mother's Day, the folks at handbag e-tailor Emilie M. have chosen to sponsor a charity that's dear to their hearts and consistent with the brand's mission of supporting women in all walks of life. As a mother herself, Emilie was undeniably drawn to a cause that strives to provide the love of mothers to millions of children.
"From the first day, motherhood is a journey of dedication and giving. Giving a hand, giving advice, giving encouragement, giving smiles, giving love. For all the things our mothers give us, shouldn't we give back?" asks Solomon Hedaya, president of Emilie M.
Between April 15 and May 31, 5% of the brands' proceeds will support Every Mother Counts, a nonprofit founded by model and mother of two Christy Turlington Burns, dedicated to making pregnancy safe for every mother by informing and engaging audiences to take action and support maternal health programs worldwide.
Nothing beats a gift that gives back. You'll find a collection of timeless accessories for any mom on a budget (all under $110), including statement-making silhouettes in polished styles from printed canvas and neutral linen to colored croc and tri-tone color block.
Irene Ostrich Shoulder Bag in Rose, Emilie M., emiliemshop.com, $85
Leslie Compartment Double Shoulder, Emilie M., emiliemshop.com, $90
Kimberly Ostrich Tote, Emilie M., emiliemshop.com, $110

What It Means to Mother Yourself
Written on May 9, 2014 at 9:44 am , by Janet Taylor
As Mother's Day approaches and millions of Americans reach out and touch the speed-dial button to their favorite floral shop, I find myself thinking about the day in another way.
This Mother's Day will be the first for me without the visible presence of my own mother, Joan Taylor, who passed away last spring. The loss of my mother has made me think about the qualities that I need moving forward that will allow me to mother myself.
Those qualities include treating myself with compassion and loving kindness, and being more accepting of difficult situations by hearing my mother's supportive words in my head—words like "everything will work out" or "you did a great job"—even when I'm unsure.
Since I have four daughters myself, Mother's Day makes me examine the legacy that I am trying to leave for them, a legacy not of material or financial wealth but of social and emotional capital. In other words, the ability to tap into their own reservoir of self-understanding and acceptance with a dose of optimism sprinkled in.
This holiday, it's also important to remember that while 90% of women want to be mothers, 39% of them may never be because of issues of fertility or circumstance. And 6% choose to be child-free. For these women, Mother's Day may have multiple meanings.
One consistent factor for all women is the reality that we have been mothered. That experience, either with a biological or nonbiological mother, has a lasting impact throughout our lives. We learn how to love, experience life's challenges, work out feelings of frustration and develop our strengths and values from our relationship with our first love and primary attachment, our mother.
The capacity to support each other as women by sharing our experiences of being mothered and what we have learned about our mothers and ourselves is truly what Mother's Day represents. It's about honoring our growth and origins and loving who we are just as our own mothers, in their unique and individual way, loved us.
Happy Mother's Day!!

Three Quick, Easy and Pretty Mother's Day Gifts
Written on May 8, 2014 at 1:26 pm , by Danielle Blundell
It's only Thursday, so while the weekend's still a couple of days away, the good news is that Mother's Day is too. Here are a few quick gift ideas that won't break the bank but will let mom know you're thinking of her—and value her love and advice. Be sure to order now, before it's too late! And don't forget a card or a handwritten note. Chances are she'll cherish that the most.
The best thing about Teleflora, other than the fact that they bring fresh flowers on demand to virtually everywhere in the U.S., is that this Mother's Day they've teamed up with Spafinder to offer spa eGift Cards along with their arrangements. So now you can treat mom to a bouquet and a massage in one swoop. She can redeem the gift card at any of the 20,000+ local spas that belong to the SpaFinder network. Choose from four styles, each with a keepsake vase, and three different eGift Card denominations ($25, $50 or $100). Shown above is the Pink Bliss bouquet. Teleflora.com, from $83 for a standard bouquet and a $25 eGift Card
One of these lovely porcelain plates makes for the perfect finishing touch on a dresser, vanity or nightstand, where mom can use it to stash her rings and bracelets. Or pair the plate with a sweet-smelling bar of soap; it's the ideal soap dish for a powder room. Shown above is the Porcelain Word Plate in Je t'aime. Cwonder.com, $18
Think you can't afford to buy her diamonds? Simply not true! Get her a diamond candle, and once she's finished burning it, there'll be a ring with a bright sparkler inside, valued at $10 to $5,000. A modest jewel is the most likely outcome, but she'll definitely enjoy the thrill of burning the candle to reveal the spoils—and for the pretty scent it'll bring to the house in the meantime. Diamond Candles, diamondcandles.com, $25

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with These Healthier Food and Drink Recipes
Written on May 5, 2014 at 4:11 pm , by Danielle Blundell
One of the best things about Cinco de Mayo, which commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla, is that it can be celebrated the healthy way meal-wise and still stay true to its Mexican flavor. Instead of going heavy on the cheese dip and Coronas, why not focus on fresh guacamole and lime? If you haven't given tonight's menu a thought yet, not to worry. Here are a few quick and easy Cinco de Mayo recipes that feature an unexpected ally—the pomegranate, rich in antioxidants and potassium. We'll drink to that! If you can't get it together in time for tonight, these refreshing drinks make for fabulous sips all season long. And you can't go wrong with guac—ever—just don't overdo it on the chips.
Chef Katie Chin's Pomegranate Guacamole (makes 4 servings)
2 ripe avocados, skin and pit removed
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 large jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt to taste
Tortilla chips or pita chips
1/2 cup arils (seed sacs) from POM Wonderful Pomegranates or 1/2 cup POM POMS Fresh Arils
1. Prepare fresh pomegranate arils, if necessary.*
2. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the avocado and stir in the lime zest and juice, red onion, jalapeño and garlic. Season to taste with salt.
3. Stir in the arils.
4. Serve with tortilla or pita chips.
*To prepare fresh arils, score pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate under water to free the arils. They will sink to the bottom of the bowl, and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the arils and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
Cinco de Mango
1 oz POM Mango
1.5 oz tequila
.75 oz fresh lime juice
.5 oz agave syrup
3 dashes Hellfire Bitters (habanero)
Lime wheels
Combine liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake and strain over ice. Garnish with lime wheels.
Dragon's Punch
1 oz POM Coconut
1.5 oz vodka (recommend green tea-infused vodka, e.g., Charbay)
.75 oz basil syrup
.75 oz fresh lime juice
5 dashes angostura bitters
Crushed ice
Combine liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake and pour over crushed ice.

Holiday Traditions in Blended Families: Easter Edition
Written on April 7, 2014 at 1:54 pm , by Family Circle
By JM Randolph, the Accidental Stepmom
It's time to break the silence on one of the more problematic issues facing blended families today: what to do about the Easter Bunny.
For reasons that are not entirely clear to me, my stepkids adjusted far more easily to all holiday celebrations other than Easter in our new family situation. I place the blame squarely on that nebulous bunny.
When I was a kid, the Easter Bunny brought the baskets and hid the eggs that my sister and I then found, but even then I knew it didn't happen the same way at everyone's house.
The Easter Bunny has no standards. He has neither sidekicks nor clearly delineated responsibilities. In the realm of mythical childhood mascots, every other one of them has a well-defined job description. At least with Santa, you can connect the goodness and giving part of his gig to the deeper spiritual nature of the holiday. The validity of connecting a bunny to an empty tomb is a stretch. Even if we connect him to the prolific…proliferation…of bunnies in order to symbolize the rebirth and fertility of spring, in no tradition anywhere does a rabbit lay chicken eggs.
Trying to understand the Easter Bunny is like reading a technical manual that has been badly translated from Arabic to French to Chinese to English. Some words are there on the page, but that doesn't mean it makes sense.
My husband wasn't terribly helpful when it came to sharing Easter traditions. "That was their mom's holiday," he said. "I did Christmas." So that first year, we guessed. The Easter baskets were ready when they woke up in the morning. They contained bubbles, chalk, Frisbees, balsa airplanes, two Hula Hoops and enough candy to send a small village into a stupor.
13-year-old girl: What's all this?
Me: Easter baskets. From the Easter Bunny.
13-y-o: Why did the "Easter Bunny" come so early? He usually doesn't come until after church and he only brings candy. [Insert sarcastic teen voice.] Mom would get us all in the car to go to church waaay early, and suddenly remember that she forgot something in the house. She'd go back inside for like fifteen minutes, and then when we got home from church the "Easter Bunny" would have miraculously delivered the Easter baskets.
Me: Easter is all about the miracles.
Where things really broke down was the egg hunt. If you're not raised with the belief that the Easter Bunny hides the eggs, nothing will convince you otherwise. Not even the 4-year-old was buying it.
The only egg hunts they had done were at churches or parks in large groups. These kids are super competitive to begin with, so we hid some easy, some hard, and let them stagger the start youngest to oldest. That only made the oldest notice all her siblings occupied in the back and immediately move to the front yard to find every single egg there in about ninety seconds.
They were sorely disappointed that only real eggs were hidden. Apparently there were supposed to be plastic eggs filled with candy and money.
Easter remains the holiday that I never get right. I've stopped trying, and instead look for ways to amuse myself.
I have to give the Easter Bunny due credit: He saved me one time by stepping in for the Tooth Fairy. After the Tooth Fairy forgot to show up several nights in a row, the Easter Bunny covered the duties and wrote a note of apology, which was unquestioningly and gleefully accepted by the loser of the tooth (the Easter Bunny being more generous than the Tooth Fairy).
I was interrupted during story time the other day by the 18-year-old barging into her brother's room to ask me to pass along to the Easter Bunny the fact that she doesn't like the large robin's eggs candy, only the small ones.
I decided it's time for the Tooth Fairy to repay the debt to the Easter Bunny by taking over duties this Easter.

2 Must-Watch Videos for "Frozen"-Obsessed Kids
Written on February 24, 2014 at 10:00 am , by Jonna Gallo
Disney's Frozen—a haunting but happily-ending tale of sisters Elsa and Anna, one of whom possesses icy powers that have seemingly condemned the city of Arandel to a Forever Winter— has been the Big Thing in my house since the weekend it opened. We've seen it in 2D, 3D and, most recently, the Singalong version. (As if this were somehow inadequate, my kids, 9 and 6, ask regularly about getting the DVD, which isn't even out until March 18.)
To get her daily Frozen fix, my daughter is loving Alex Boye's tribal-inspired cover starring 11-year-old Lexi Walker, who seems poised to become a huge star. Her other current fave is ThePianoGuys' amazing mash-up of music from Frozen with Vivaldi's "Winter." Their obvious passion and the spectacularly icy setting make this a slam dunk. Watch and enjoy.
Tell me in the comments if your kid loves these as much as mine!

The Case for Snail Mail Holiday Cards
Written on January 8, 2014 at 2:30 pm , by Jonna Gallo
Like many, I spent a good part of last weekend de-Christmas-ing my house. One task was to take down all the holiday cards that arrived throughout December, which I tape around the "window" in the wall between my kitchen and living room. I know some people say cards aren't necessary in this day and age—"That's what Facebook is for!"—but I definitely beg to differ. A snapshot on my Facebook newsfeed is here and gone in an instant. A paper card lasts the whole season and becomes part of our holiday decor. My kids (9 and 6) get excited when the envelopes start to arrive, and it quickly becomes a nightly ritual to ooh and aah over the photos. As for our own family card, we spent more than an hour looking at options on Tinyprints and Shutterfly, my hands-down favorite sites for high-quality cards and invites. (Tinyprints had the winner this year, but it was a tough call!) According to Hallmark, 85% of consumers surveyed said they send Christmas cards, letters or photos. I hope that number continues to hold up in our increasingly digitized world. To me, it's a tradition worth preserving.
Do you send holiday cards in December, or is it not worth the effort or expense? Do you enjoy receiving them? Tell us in the comments.

British Pound Sterling up in this bitch!

On the subject of Dzeko, I was reading Lawro's column in the Mirror today, and he raised a valid point about him (not exact words, but something along the lines of this):
Dzeko can't handle playing a full game in the PL. Whenever he starts he seems leggy and can't affect the game as much such is the pace of PL games during the first 3/4. However coming off the bench, when the opposition are tired, he's able to affect the game. It's a fact that more chances are created during the latter part of the game, and Dzeko is able to capitalize on that. After all, being a super sub like that is better than being a sub, right?
A question to you though, if you sell Dzeko, you're down to Aguero, Tevez and Balotelli. Would you be happy with just 3 strikers? Especially given Balotelli's temperament?
I'd agree with that. He very rarely ever scores in the first half either if you look at his goals. He may not like being a super sub so he should shape up when he starts.
I'm honestly not fussy. Most teams don't have/won't have a world class striker, yet alone 4.
Aguero and Tevez work well together so I wouldn't be "ALL IS LOST" if we lost Dzeko. No doubt mancini would want to get another though.
Yeah, I can't see him getting to the level of Aguero Tevez and Balotelli though. Dzeko's good, but he's not amazing IMO. He's doing great this season thus far though, scoring some important goals.
WEll no, but City isn't just most teams, you can buy whoever you want lol! Can you imagine a strike force of Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli and Suarez? Pretty daunting!
Of course, all is not lost if you do sell the guy, but I imagine that Mancini will definitely want a replacement.
Talking about beautiful goals. I remember these goals:

Throughout 2012, Austria is celebrating the 150th birthday of Gustav Klimt with exhibitions devoted to his work. Several Viennese museums, including the Albertina, the Belvedere, the Kunsthistorisches, the Leopold, and the Wien Museum, are honoring different aspects of Klimt's extraordinary legacy. The Neue Galerie is joining in these celebrations with a special summer 2012 installation of his work.
The Neue Galerie New York will present "Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen," an exhibition focusing on the luminous work of this important Austrian photographer. The organizing curator for the project is Dr. Monika Faber, a distinguished scholar of photography.
From October 27, 2011, to April 2, 2012, the Neue Galerie will present a very special exhibition in honor of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the museum: "The Ronald S. Lauder Collection: Selections from the 3rd Century BC to the 20th Century/Germany, Austria, and France."
"Selections from the Permanent Collection" features highlights from the Neue Galerie's superb holdings of German and Austrian fine and decorative arts from the first half of the twentieth century. It incorporates a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Though the exhibition is ongoing, the installation is updated regularly.
The Neue Galerie is pleased to present an exhibition entitled Vienna 1900: Style and Identity. The show, curated by Christian Witt-Dörring and Jill Lloyd, aims to reveal a common thread running through the fine and decorative arts in turn-of-the-century Vienna: the redefinition of individual identity in the modern age.
This fall, the Neue Galerie New York presents the first major museum exhibition ever held in the United States devoted exclusively to the postcards produced by the Wiener Werkstätte. The show is drawn exclusively from The Leonard A. Lauder Collection and coincides with the gift to the Neue Galerie of nearly 1,000 postcards produced by the firm during the period 1907-1920.
Franz Xaver Messerschmidt is the first exhibition in the United States devoted exclusively to this major late 18th-century Bavarian-born Austrian sculptor. It focuses on the artist's so-called "character heads," among the most important works of sculpture from their era. The exhibition is organized by Guilhem Scherf, chief curator of sculpture at the Musée du Louvre.
With this exhibition, Neue Galerie New York pays tribute to its co-founder, Serge Sabarsky. A tireless advocate for German and Austrian art, Sabarsky was the driving force behind the creation of the museum. He was also a dedicated collector, who acquired numerous masterworks by the artists he cherished.
Oskar Kokoschka (1886–1980) was a key figure in the history of Expressionism, who first gained notice with his appearance in the seminal Vienna Kunstschau of 1908. Gustav Klimt, president of the Vienna Secession, described the artist as "the outstanding talent among the younger generation." "Focus: Oskar Kokoschka" presents eight portrait paintings and over 80 works on paper by the artist from the collection of the Neue Galerie.
Highlighted in "Selections from the Permanent Collection" are works that have particular relevance to present-day social and economic conditions. Works on view range from George Grosz's drawings of corrupt plutocrats to Otto Dix's etchings of impoverished beggars, disenfranchised citizens, and crippled war veterans.

text: The Who Is Invading Central City? wiki last edited by jeffreyv2512 on 06/18/14 09:15AM View full history "Who Is Invading Central City!"A fighter jet is on a collision course with Central City. Before the Flash can act, the pilot gets control of his aircraft, and changes course. However, a sonic boom created by the aircraft still has the potential to cause property damage to Central City. The Flash sets up a counter force to cancel out the sonic boom. The scarlet speedster, though, is caught in the wake of the dissipating forces, and suffers inner ear damage. Shortly after the incident, the Flash begins picking up telepathic signals. Believing them to be extraterrestrial in nature, the Flash scours Central City, fruitlessly searching for alien invaders. The next morning, Barry Allen finds that he's still picking up telepathic signals, but they are no longer intelligible. A nagging recognition of the sounds finds Allen at the local library, listening to sound effects tapes. Allen burns through the library's entire stock of tapes, in 20 minutes, listening to each of them on fast forward. At last, he identifies the sounds being broadcast into his mind. Switching to his guise as the Flash, Allen journeys to the Central City Marine Lab. There he discovers drug smugglers stashing millions of dollars worth of cocaine in the dolphin tank. The Flash makes quick work of the smugglers, but is accidentally knocked unconscious from contact with a stray electric prod. The dolphins in the tank carry the Flash to the surface, where he quickly recovers. The Flash realizes that, in some manner, being caught in the center of the sonic booms temporarily realigned his brain waves, allowing him to pick up on the dolphin's communications with one another. As his brain waves returned to normal, the Flash ceased to be able to comprehend the dolphin's speech, but still picked up their clicks and squeals. With the smugglers turned over to the local authorities, the Flash spends the rest of the day playing with the dolphins.Brick Battleground!Wandering the streets of the city, Deadman is drawn to a commotion coming from Mason's Grocery. Inside, the proprietors are being menaced by "protection" racketeers, Leroy and Chilly Willy. Deadman possess Chilly Willy, allowing Daniel Mason to slip from his grasp. Mason lays Chilly Willy out, then chases the two extortionists out of his grocery. Mason organizes a meeting with the other merchants, trying to build a unified front, to oppose the extortionists. Mason's meeting is crashed by Stallion, the head of the protection racket. Stallion "convinces" the other merchants to pay what they "owe", lest their loved ones suffer. Returning to his grocery, Mason encounters Chilly Willy, running away. Deadman spies the dynamite Chilly Willy planted, and quickly possess Mason. Seconds before the explosion. Deadman/Mason dives for cover. As he watches his grocery burn to the ground, Mason vows revenge on Stallion. After his wife has gone to bed, Mason steals out into the night. Deadman watches as Mason scales Stallion's apartment building, enters through an unlocked window, and ransacks the dwelling, searching for the evidence to put Stallion away. With an assist from Deadman, Mason is able to crack Stallion's wall safe, and discovers ledgers detailing all of Stallion's criminal "business ventures. At that moment, Stallion enters, along with Leroy and Chilly Willy. To Mason's horror, the trio of criminals are holding his wife. Deadman heads down to the street, possesses a bum, and contacts the police. Returning to Stallion's apartment, Deadman overhears Stallion giving Leroy, and Chilly Willy, the order to kill the Masons. Deadman possesses Stallion and countermands the original order, instead telling Stallion's men to let the Masons go. Deadman/Stallion throws the ledgers to Mason, then tackles Leroy and Chilly Willy, as they give pursuit. When the police arrive, Mason hands the ledgers over, and Stallion, Leroy, and Chilly Willy are arrested.Countdown To Disaster!A deadly poison capsule has been stolen. The Justice Society of America has only five hours to recover it, before it's contents are released into the air, killing thousands of innocent people in Gotham City. When ransom demands are issued to the local authorities, the Golden Age Flash syncs his internal vibrations with the background noise vibrations on the ransom tape, and follows the trail to the blackmailers. Along with the Golden Age Green Lantern and Golden Age Hawkman, the three heroes take down the blackmailers, only to discover that their scheme was one born of opportunity. The capsule has never been in their possession. The Huntress and Power Girl investigate the scene of the crime, uncovering evidence that leads them to the cleaning woman. Meanwhile, the Golden Age Hawkman abandons the hunt, in order to enlist the aid of Dr. Fate. Power Girl and the Huntress find that the cleaning woman stole the poison capsule for her son, to trade for narcotics. The two heroines catch up with the cleaning woman's son's dealer, Trader Tom, but he's already passed the capsule on. Despite Inza Nelson's warnings, the Golden Age Hawkman disrupts Dr. Fate's conjuring, to turn Dr. Fate's attention to the crisis at hand. Pursuing the poison capsule up the drug pipeline, the Justice Society of America busts Gotham City's biggest drug czar, only to find that the poison capsule was discarded as worthless. Searching through the trash, the Golden Age Green Lantern finds molecular traces of the capsule, but not the capsule itself. The Huntress is drawn to a tuft of fur, leading the team to suspect a scavenger has made off with the capsule. Though it's a huge gamble, the Golden Age Green Lantern lights up a trail for the Golden Age Flash to follow, leading the team to a scruffy dog, gnawing on a bone. The capsule is stuck to the bone, but they're too late. The capsule's dissolving agent is seconds away from releasing the poison. At that moment, Dr. Fate arrives and banishes the capsule from the mortal plane of existence. Back at headquarters, Mr. Terrific arrives to join the team for their annual meeting with the Justice League of America.Ice PactWhile escorting the submarine "Ice Buster" through the waters off the coast of Antarctica , Aquaman comes under attack by a sea serpent. Aquaman hurls an ice berg at the creature, but the icy projectile passes harmlessly through it. Aquaman attempts to push the submarine back up to the surface, but the sea serpent overwhelms him. Aquaman awakens in a medical bay. A woman named Helga offers him an explanation for his surroundings. Miles beneath the Antarctic ice, Nazi scientists built a thriving community, for the purpose of advancing the human race. In the 35 years since the colony was established, they have already perfected holographic technology, such as that used to create the "sea serpent" camouflage around their submersibles. They have also given their people the ability to breath under water for short periods of time. Helga proposes an alliance with Atlantis, but Aquaman is suspicious of the colony's motives. Sensing his trepidation, Helga has Aquaman clubbed into unconsciousness. Aquaman awakes inside an impenetrable glass sphere. A pre-recorded message informs him the colonists have created a holographic duplicate of Aquaman, that will negotiate on their behalf with Atlantis. Aquaman telepathically summons whales, sawfish, and octopi, but none are able to shatter his prison. In Atlantis, the holographic Aquaman convinces King Vulko to enter into an alliance with the colonists. Mera, however, is suspicious of the colonists. Aquaman manages to escape confinement with the aid of a giant squid. By the time he reaches Atlantis, Helga's people are already preparing to lay siege to the city. Before Aquaman can strike, Helga fires a nuclear missile on Atlantis. Aquaman is able to redirect the missile's trajectory, aiming it back at Helga's submarine. To his horror, Aquaman spies Mera chained to the hull of the submarine, seconds before the missile impacts. Mera is able to save herself by projecting a hard water shield around her. Though Helga perishes, Aquaman is still concerned that her people will continue to be a threat to Atlantis in the coming days.

Here we go, Round 5 -- Pairs! In Round 4, we said goodbye to: 5th place: BEREZHNAYA/SIKHARULIDZE We eliminate one team per round.
Gotta go with M/D, a great team but just don't quite measure up to the other three greats on that list (although I think they should have won '94).
Rodnina & Zaitsev should go. They won only by technical ability and overall strength and power, no artistry at all. I am also not impressed that as the most athletic and technical pair of their time they werent doing throw jumps when numerous of their competitors were.
Omg you have to read up on diva rodnina! What a piece of work. She couldn't do them of course, but insisted she never even tried because it was undignified. She said it was like the man was throwing the lady away. and all at the same time.
Undignified? Funny comment as dignified was the last thing I would have ever thought to describe their truck driver on fire style of skating, or her in your face personality at the time.

Multi-modal swarm construction (Abstract)
Bullock, Seth and Kerby, Michael (2010) Multi-modal swarm construction (Abstract). At Artificial Life XII: Twelfth International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems, Odense, Denmark, 19 - 23 Aug 2010. (Submitted).

Swarm construction involves a population of autonomous agents collaboratively organising material into useful persistent structures without recourse to central co-ordination or control. This approach to fabrication has significant potential within nanoscale domains, where explicit centralised control of building activity is prohibitive (e.g., Martel and Mohammadi, 2010). The ultimate value of swarm construction will be demonstrated in the real world with physical agents (or perhaps software agents working with real-world digital media). However, our interest is in exploring different possibilities for decentralised control of swarm construction in abstract simulated environments populated by idealised simplistic agents. The goal of such simulations is not to demonstrate solutions to specific realistic construction challenges, but to capture elements of the fundamental logic of decentralised control. Here, we explore a population of simple simulated agents that combine information from two sensory modalities (one proximal and one distal) in order to overcome some of the limitations of two previously explored uni-modal schemes. Like the artificial paper wasps of Bonabeau et al. (2000), the agents simulated here are able to sense the configuration of building material in their immediate environment and use this proximal sensory information to trigger specific building activity via a set of microrules. In addition, like the simulated termites of Ladley and Bullock (2004, 2005), they are also able to sense simulated diffusing artificial pheromones deposited during building and movement, and use this distal sensory information to influence movement and release or inhibit building activity. Since both the proximal configuration of building material and the distal distribution of pheromone intensities in an agent's vicinity are themselves the consequence of prior agent building activity, the scheme is stigmergic— the environmental trace of agent activity guides subsequent agent behaviour. In principle, this swarm construction scheme is "universal" in that it is capable (given enough distinct types of building material) of generating any configuration of contiguous building material—a property inherited from Bonabeau et al. (2000)'s scheme. However, proofs of universality tell us nothing about what a scheme will in fact be useful for in practice (Bullock, 2006). Consequently, we concentrate here on exploring and describing the scheme's generic behaviour: what classes of structure are readily built and why; conversely, what kinds of structure require a prohibitively complex set of building materials, pheromones, proximal microrules, etc. Here, we are able to show that, unlike Ladley and Bullock's (2004, 2005) termites, the addition of proximal microrules enables agents to construct both simple conic and rectilinear structures such as domes, arches, pillars, cubes and frames (see figure 1), and that they are able to combine these structures relatively easily (see figure 2). Moreover, we are also able to show that, unlike Bonabeau et al's (2000) wasps, the addition of distal pheromone mediated behaviour enables agents to construct architectures with long-range structure without recourse to a prohibitive number of block types (e.g., Howsman et al., 2004), and that these structures can be easily scaled in size through manipulation of pheromone parameters. However, complex structures still present challenges in terms of managing interactions between agents obeying different rule-sets, and timing issues related to the establishment of pheromone templates before the initiation of pheromone-mediated building activity.

The year 2014 has not been good for pop star Justin Bieber. Not only he has been caught in legal troubles in two countries but also been pictured in various controversial poses with hookers and strippers. The latest news from the Bieberland is that the singer has been hit in the face for acting stupid by Los Angeles basketball player Blake Griffin! There is an interesting story behind how the whole thing happened.
The story, cited by Empire Sports, goes on like this. Justin Bieber reportedly entered Starbucks cafe at Los Angeles shirtless with his pants dropping really low that his underwear was peeking out for the whole store to see. Due to such rude appearance, the manager refused to serve the "apple macchiato" he asked for reports the Web site.
In a typical Justin Bieber style, the singer got really annoyed at the fact that he was refused to serve what he demanded and hence threw a fit, claims the Web site. The Web site then goes on to site a police report which accuses Bieber of using fowl language to the waiter and also threatening him to have his bodyguard "kick his ass."
The entire drama had a mute spectator - LA Clippers sportperson Blake Griffin. The athlete was present at the same Starbucks cafe and enjoying his coffee and decided to step in. He tried to calm down Bieber at first but all his efforts went into vain. Justin started yelling more and got more aggravated, the Web site says.
That is when Blake decided to punch Bieber in the face to calm him down! His smack was so fast and hard that Bieber was knocked down to the floor.
"He smacked the sh-t out of him. Then I saw Justin stumble out of the door looking like he was crying," the Web site reports citing a source. Justin was gone before the police arrived, the report says.
The story has been shared on Twitter several times but it has not been reported by any other Web site. Further research reveals that Empire States is possibly a satire blog and this story could also be one of the Internet hoaxes, of which some people believed was true. Given the way Bieber is getting into trouble every second day, Twitter users are wishing Justin was actually hit by Blake Griffin. Read the responses below.

39 CFR 10.4 - Financial disclosure reports.
prev | next
Requirement of submission of reports.
At the time of their nomination, Governors complete a financial disclosure report which, under the practice of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, is kept confidential. Because the Director of the Office of Government Ethics has ruled that Governors who do not perform the duties of their office for more than 60 days in any calendar year are not required to file financial disclosure reports that are open to the public, Governors file non-public reports annually, in accordance with this section. A Governor who performs the duties of his or her office for more than 60 days in a particular calendar year is required to file a public report in accordance with 5 CFR 2634.204(c).
A Governor shall file a financial disclosure report with the General Counsel on or before May 15 of each year when the Governor has been in office for more than 60 consecutive calendar days during the previous year.
The General Counsel may, for good cause shown, grant to a Governor an extension of up to 45 days. An additional extension of up to 45 days may be granted by the Director of the Office of Government Ethics for good cause shown.
Information required to be reported.
Each report shall be a full and complete statement, on the form prescribed by the General Counsel and the Office of Government Ethics and in accordance with instructions issued by him or her. The form currently in use is Standard Form 278.
Financial disclosure reports filed in accordance with the provisions of this section shall, within 60 days after the date of filing, be reviewed by the General Counsel who shall either approve the report, or make an initial determination that a conflict or appearance thereof exists. If the General Counsel determines initially that a conflict or the appearance of a conflict exists, he or she shall inform the Governor of his determination.
If the General Counsel considers that additional information is needed to complete the report or to allow an adequate review to be conducted, he or she shall request the reporting Governor to furnish that information by a specified date.
The General Counsel shall refer to the Chairman of the Board of Governors or the Vice Chairman the name of any Governor he or she has reasonable cause to believe has wrongfully failed to file a report or has falsified or wrongfully failed to report required information.
