NA is a spiritual derivative of Notational Velocity on the Mac or ResophNotes for Windows and, when you enable Simplenote syncing, it syncs with both. Its point is to put as little as possible in between you and your notes. There is no saving, the notes just automagically get synced to the cloud, so they are always current. There is tablet support for both 7" Galaxy Tabs or Nook Colors and Honeycomb workhorses.

Version 0.4.1:
- Correctly sync UTF-8 characters (this should fix most sync issues)
- Resize window on keyboard popup
- Sync tags (still no UI)

Simple to use. Just open the app, select the note. & Start typing!

This is a bit of a drawback. I cannot see any way of synchronising the files with nvALT (a notational velocity based app) except for doing it via Simplenote.

Works very well on my HTC desire S, there is a lot of sync warnings, but it seems to work well anyway (so it is mostly just annoying). The official simplenote app does not support older android versions, and this is great for those. But it is an old app and it does not work very well on my nexus 7 (2013), it is very slow, not responsive and the UI looks broken -- I prefer the official simplenote a

Desperately needs to be able to switch, easily and without submenus, between alternative accounts. Fixing that and adding native rtf editing would make it the biz.

I constantly get "Sync error: tap to retry." It seems to happen whenever it tries to sync and there aren't any changes to any of my notes, which is most of the time. Also I wish it formatted markdown.

I would upgrade to Pro if this had a black-on-white theme and supported note pinning.

This is still the best simplenote app for Android, especially since it's free - but please, please add a light theme!

NEW ORLEANS - Louisiana is one of many states trying to get e-cigarettes added to the list of tobacco products that can only be used by adults.
It is a billion-dollar industry. Instead of having a smoke, more and more people are vaping. Still, the federal government has no laws on the books prohibiting the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors.
'The laws have just not kept pace with the technology in that area,' said State Sen. Rick Gallot, who authored a new bill that would change that.
Louisiana is one of 29 states introducing bills that would ban the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 18.
Sen. Gallot says that manufacturers and stores are on board with the new legislation. In fact, e-cigarette stores like Smokecignals in New Orleans say they have already made it apart of their policy not to sell to anyone underage.
'Nicotine is not consumable for minors so we don't want our product to be consumable to minors,' said Smokecignals Vice President Stephen D'Antonio.
D'Antonio says the e-liquid they make contains flavored tobacco and can have different amounts of nicotine added in. They also offer dozens of flavors, anything from banana pudding to blueberry mint.
However, state officials, like Gallot, worry these creative flavors make it more attractive to teens.
'Based on the data we have now there certainly seems to be an increase in the number of children that have been expose to it,' said Gallot.
D'Antonio disagrees, saying their products are not enticing teens. Surprisingly, he says their company's main customer base is older, between the ages of 30 and 50 years old.
'One of the things are product is, is a viable option for those that want a healthier alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes,' said D'Antonio.
Sen. Gallot says the proposed bill will have to pass the committee before it will go to the Senate floor for a vote. However, with little opposition to the bill, he expects it to become law later this year.

But despite all the God talk that will ensue over the next few days, John Paul's relevance extended well beyond the walls of the Vatican or the sacristy of St. Whatshisname down the block. Whether or not you accept the idea that John Paul was a spiritual leader with an infallible ability to interpret the teachings of Jesus Christ, there is no denying that he was as much a political figure as a religious one.
And an influential one, too. His voice on matters like the Iraq war, which he condemned, or communist rule in Eastern Europe carried a lot of weight: If an Italian newspaper account on recently opened files of the East German Stasi is to be believed, John Paul's opposition to Soviet rule was so powerful that the KGB plotted to kill him in 1981.
At .2 square miles, it's the world's smallest country, but the Vatican certainly punched above its weight during John Paul's papacy. At U.N. meetings in the 1990s on population policy, the Vatican opposed language that acknowledged a universal right to abortion or that suggested condoms might be used to stop the spread of AIDS. The rest of the world listened to those complaints. On a lot of them, the Vatican won.
And John Paul never shied from making direct calls to Roman Catholic politicians, as he did in July 2003, when he asked them to block or repeal laws permitting gay marriage. The Vatican's views on stem cell research are part of that debate as well.
Some of this clout might die with John Paul. But his particular interpretation of Catholic doctrine is unlikely to perish, because he has stacked the college of cardinals with his ideological allies. According to the BBC, he was still making appointments of bishops as late as Thursday.
All the obits of JP II are going to mention that he was the beloved leader of the world's 1 billion Catholics. Keep in mind that Americans make up only 6 percent of that total. The heart of the church is elsewhere, and its growth is in Asia and Africa. We can shrug our shoulders all we want at the next pope and the late one. But someone is listening.

New York's NoMad Hotel to Go BiCoastal With New DTLA Location
Downtown Los Angeles' award-winning hotel scene continues to shine.
The LA Times reports that Giannini Building at 7th and Olive, a former Bank of Italy building that first opened in 1923, has been purchased by hotel developer The Sydell Group and wants to turn it into a boutique hotel--possibly a spin-off of the NoMad Hotel in NYC. Here's what Sydell has in store for the building:
The main former banking floor will be converted to a "living room" lobby for the hotel where guests can lounge or work, [Andrew E. Zobler, CEO of Sydell] said. The first floor will have a bar and a restaurant.
Sydell will operate the hotel, perhaps as a second branch of its NoMad Hotel on Broadway in New York. Plans call for 250 guest rooms that would either face outward or look into a large existing light well in the center of the upper floors of Giannini Place.
A rooftop swimming pool and event space with panoramic views of downtown are also on the drawing board. The hotel is to be a step up in room price and sophistication from Sydell Group's Freehand hotel being built in the former Commercial Exchange Building.
But there's another new boutique hotel coming to DTLA, just one block away from this one.

First Look at Mama Shelter Los Angeles, Opening on May 15
Voilŕ! At last, we have a room photo of the forthcoming Mama Shelter Los Angeles located in the heart of Hollywood.
We've been tracking this hotel's progress since we first learned of its existence (and exact location) back in August. But now, you can finally begin to plan your night with Mama in LA.
Room rates will start at $139 a night on May 15. Currently, booking is not working on the hotel's website but we expect that to be in action very soon.
The ground floor of the hotel is set to be a free-flowing reception area, lobby, bar and restaurant (from chef Benjamin Bailly of LA hotspots, Petrossian and Fraiche) while upstairs there will be just 70 Thierry Gaugain-designed rooms spread out over six stories, but tricked out with king beds and 27-inch iMacs which will serve as the room TV. As you can see, the rooms are very much like other Mamas, complete with those funky nightstand lampshade masks. (Hello Burt and Ernie!)
Mama Shelter Los Angeles will also have an outdoor rooftop gym which we kinda can't wait to see in action. #workoutselfieoverload
Want to learn more about this Mama? She's already "written" you a "letter." Here it is in full below.

Grab a Spork! Going Vegan at The Four Seasons Los Angeles
Hotels offering vegetarian and vegan options is nothing new but the Four Seasons Los Angeles is now serving two vegan renditions of dishes most commonly found at food trucks.
Here's what we found on the menu at the hotel's poolside cafe, Cabana, located on the hotel's fourth floor rooftop. Aside from gluttonous casual fare such as nachos, burgers and fish tacos and lighter items like salads and salmon, the menu now holds a few special creations from Spork Foods, an organic and vegan cooking class in West Hollywood.
Such items include the Battered Avocado Tacos ($25) filled with house pickled purple onions and ranchero black beans and the Red Bean Veggie Burger Sliders ($21) served with a beet ketchup and veganaise on a gluten-free bun topped with a battered pickle.
Even if you don't adhere to a vegan diet, you can't deny how good these taste. C'mon, fried avocados? Also that beet ketchup is sweeter than it sounds.
Of course, these dishes might be food-truck inspired but the prices are totally Four Seasons. #treatyoself

Old and New LA Is Converging at Koreatown's Hotel Normandie
Cassell's reborn
One of the things we most like about the Downtown LA renaissance is the redevelopment of old buildings into sexy modern hotels (unless, that is, you're talking about the Fig, which we cannot conscience in anything but its old, Moroccan incarnation).
The Hotel Normandie was already pretty sexy – a Renaissance Revival-style building done 1920s by Walker & Eisen, who also did the Beverly Wilshire and the United Artists Theater (aka the Ace DTLA), and now a 94-room boutique hotel (although with the old style preserved rather than gutted).
But now it's stepped up the ante with some food and drink offerings that, rather like the hotel, combine the best of old and new LA.

It's All Change in Hollywood (The Hollywood Hotel, That Is)
It's only the morning after the Oscars, and already changes are afoot in Hollywood. At least, they are at the Hollywood Hotel (The Hotel of Hollywood, as it somewhat presumptuously likes to style itself), which is celebrating awards season with a multi-million dollar "refreshening" of its 130 rooms.
Contemporary yet classic is the name of the game for the rooms – wooden floors, neutral colors, custom-designed furniture and "interactive" flatscreen TVs. Don't get bored, though – there will be "fashion-inspired artwork" and a "freestanding, vintage-style clothes rack" to make you feel like you're in a photoshoot. Very Hollywood! Bathrooms will be in monochrome, but we don't have photos yet.

Mama Shelter Los Angeles Probably Won't Make That February Opening Date
Mama Shelter is expected to open their Los Angeles location in February, which HELLO!, is this month, but judging from these snapshots we took yesterday, we're going to have to say, "Non."
The site, a block south of the happening Hollywood Boulevard, looked very much like it did in August, except there was some serious filming going on (maybe TV, possibly a movie.) Upon getting closer to the building we could see that significant work has been done on the facade and that serious construction is continuing on the inside.
So progress is indeed happening, but a February opening is laughable. This mama is going to be late! Which is typical of Hollywood stars. Ugh.
However, Mama is looking for some Mama's helpers as evidenced by this jobs posting. Looks like they still need a sales manager and an F&B director. Interested?
You can read more about what this Mama Shelter will be about here.

The Most Coveted Room in LA Right Now: The Screening Room at The London West Hollywood
Since its opening in 2008, The London West Hollywood has always been a hot hotel in Los Angeles for celebrities such as Kevin Spacey, David Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and chef Gordon Ramsay, who has a restaurant there (Sorry, Amanda Bynes.)
But with the opening of The London's new Screening Room, celebs won't have to go far to promote their movie as the press junket will be just an elevator ride away.
The sophisticated 110-seat screening room is located off the main lobby, across from Gordon Ramsay. Designed by Gonzalez Architects with interiors by Richmond Design, it's the largest screening room for a hotel in Los Angeles. And as Hollywood rides out the rest of the 2015 awards season, the room will be in hot demand.
But unlike a lot of things in Los Angeles, there's actually something beneath the pretty surface of this room.

With so much great hotel news to choose from, narrowing the entire year down to one city was by no means easy.

Istanbul, too, was well up there, with Room Mate Kerem and Vault Karakoy and its killer views both opening, and more on the cards.

Hotel Figueroa to Suffer a Modern Makeover Next Year
File under things you already knew: Downtown LA is, apparently, the place to be. File under things you might not have known: Downtown LA has the best preserved pre-1950s buildings in the United States. Really! When you wander around like we did the other week, saying "Why, it's like Chicago, but better," it really is. Which is why we're sad to hear of the renovations coming up at one of its most historic hotels, the Figueroa.
This HC member only got her first glimpse of the Fig this month, but one foot in the door was enough to know it was true love*. The coffin-shaped pool. The Moroccan interiors. The belly dancers entertaining a Christmas party in the bar, while off duty cops ate in the kasbah-like lobby. It was like a film set. My god, this is what America is all about!

Get on Your Bike and Tour Downtown at the Ace DTLA
There was one thing we missed while skulking around the Ace DTLA last week; we were so entranced by the gingerbread hotel that we totally missed the bikes in the lobby.
Not just any bikes, either (obviously – this is the Ace); they're bikes from tokyobike.
This isn't the first collaboration with tokyobike for Ace; the London hotel has them for guests to use. But unlike London, which is all cold and full of British reserve and lets guests get on with it by themselves, the Ace DTLA is all fuzzy and friendly and American – so they are giving free guided bike tours of Downtown LA.

The Ace DTLA Is Almost Too Cool for Christmas, But Not Quite
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in hotel-land. Trees. Baubles. Gingerbread houses. Scented candles – they have it all. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be picking out some of our favorite decorations. Got some OTT trees of your own? Send 'em in to firstname.lastname@example.com!
What does a hipster hotel do for Christmas? Well, if it's the Ace DTLA, the answer is that it eschews the traditional tree (so bourgeois!) in favor of a stylish, understated nod to the holiday season.
Enter the Christmas gifts on top of the photo booth, above, which went up a couple of days ago.
But the Ace isn't really too cool for school, and it can't resist a good old gingerbread house anymore than the posh hotel across the pond. So down at the Coffee Counter (at the entrance to LA Chapter, the restaurant), you'll find this glorious representation of the hotel itself:

How to Evacuate Your Hotel With Style, By the Ace Downtown LA
Evacuated hipsters milling around
You never know how you'll react in an emergency until it happens. Will you freeze? Will you morph into an action hero? Or will you be a little scared and a little excited and start obsessing over the fact that your teeth aren't clean #notushonest #okmaybeus?
Yesterday morning we were working in our room on floor 12 of the Ace DTLA when the fire alarm went off. Try as we might to ignore it, we joined the bleary-eyed hipsters stumbling out of their rooms. It turned out to be a smoke alarm on the 13th floor, but we were all evacuated anyway. It was our first hotel evacuation! The excitement! And it was pretty spectacular. After some reflection on why it was so good, we present:

To the Editor,
Dominion Power has proposed a new natural gas pipeline through West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. If installed, the pipeline will contribute to worsening climate change through increased carbon dioxide emissions from fracking and the burning of natural gas. The pipeline and the fracking that it encourages will cause immediate environmental damage. It will encroach on our private property, and it will be a safety hazard. It may provide short-term profits for Dominion Power, but it will hurt all of us in the long run. The pipeline should be stopped.
Climate change has begun, and it could become catastrophic in the future. Dominion Power needs to stop poisoning our atmosphere with ever increasing amounts of carbon dioxide.
Fracking is detrimental to our environment and public heath. Despite well-funded propaganda from the oil and gas industry, fracking has polluted our wells, caused local air pollution, and caused earthquakes.
Dominion Power has the power of eminent domain. That means they can put the pipeline through your property by digging up your ground, cutting down your trees, digging through your streams, and leaving a permanent scar on your property. They can do the same through our public lands, towns, and neighborhoods.
Dominion Power has stated that the pipeline will benefit its customers. I question that. Dominion Power wants to build a gas liquefaction plant in Cove Point, Md., and a similar pipeline through Maryland in order to pipe fracked gas for shipment to India and Japan. Why? So they can make a bigger profit. That's right. Gas taken from America will not be available to Americans, and will only be sold overseas. Dominion Power's proposed pipeline through Virginia has a branch going to the port of Norfolk. I suspect that the master plan is to ship gas from the new pipeline overseas, and to deny it to us here at home.
Our constitution begins with "We the People" not "We the corporations." We the people have the power to stop this detrimental, self serving project, despite the millions of dollars that Dominion Power has given to our elected officials over the years. Please tell your elected officials that we don't want this pipeline.

1. Apple's iOS compares quite well, but if you want to maximize stability be cautious about updates until there are some reports (some of the 7.x and 8.x releases were clunkers, though the current 8.3 seems quite good now), and turn off features you don't need, especially the privacy-invading ones.
2. Blackberry. They're still around, and they're rather solid -- provided the device is. (Some of their devices have been clunkers, others solid. Again, take a look at consensus reports.)
3. Nokia/Microsoft S40 devices. You can still find some S40 devices (unlocked and inexpensive), though they are not as feature rich and stretch the definition of "smartphone" downward. I've got an S40 device that, at least once updated to the latest S40 release, is rock solid -- and lasts a long, long time per battery charge. The S40 devices are not long for the world, though, so don't get too attached.
4. If you experiment with Android, I'd stick to the purest form of it: Google's Nexus devices. If Google cannot make Android work well on its own branded devices then nobody can.

Let's suppose you have two children and your U.S. Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is about $75,000 or less. (If you earn more the math *might* change.) When you file your U.S. tax return (filing status Single, or Head of Household if you qualify), as a resident of Belgium (a comparatively high income tax jurisdiction) you should NOT take the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or Foreign Housing Exclusion (IRS Form 2555). Instead you should only take the Foreign Tax Credit (IRS Form 1116). You should also take the Additional Child Tax Credit (IRS Schedule 8812). Follow that particular path, preferably using your favorite tax preparation software (even the free ones like TaxAct or TaxSlayer), and you should see a REFUND at the bottom of your tax return. Yes, the IRS will send you $1000 per U.S. citizen child per year in free money. Really. (In tax years 2009 and 2010 there was another $400 in free money available as a special refundable tax credit, but maybe you missed that.)
Take the money and save it for your kids, or spend it on your kids, or some of both. That's about $17,000 per child in free money over their childhoods. When they turn 18, THEY can decide whether they wish to terminate their U.S. citizenships or not. I'd advise them not (under present conditions at least), but under current law it's free to do so before age 18 1/2. Even if it's not free, they've started with $17,000 in free money plus interest.
No brainer, here: get your kids' U.S. citizenships documented. U.S. citizenship literally pays.

Though I absolutely agree nothing else should be in the controlled airspace around Heathrow (or any other controlled airspace) without the full knowledge, permission, and constant monitoring of air traffic controllers, Heathrow is not the world's busiest. Heathrow serves the largest number of international airline passengers annually.

Internet Explorer 8 was the last Internet Explorer available for Windows XP. Was Microsoft tempted to ignore the security exposure until XP fell out of support? Are there other security vulnerabilities in Windows XP reported before April, 2014, that Microsoft has ignored? Will Microsoft ignore (or at least slow walk) reported security vulnerabilities in their other products as they get nearer (but not actually reach) their end of support dates?
These continuing security defects are really beyond ridiculous. Maybe regulators -- the European Commission? -- ought to be mandating that vendors fix security vulnerabilities in their products within, say, 120 days. That would extend to all products sold (refurbished, new, whatever) within the past, say, 7 years. Otherwise, the vendor will be automatically barred from selling anything unless and until their security messes are cleaned up.

I didn't push him for details on the new Wilco album; I tried to keep our discussion centered on his work as a composer and his collaborations with BoaC and other new-music groups. I'm happy just knowing it's on its way. The big New Zealand-based project he described sounds intriguing as well and appears to be on its way even sooner.

"But every time I interact with her, there is something quite inspiring," said Kelly. "I imagine the next step will be her walking and talking, and in two months you'll see her walking through the front door of this building."
In a personal interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer that aired Tuesday night, Kelly opened up about Giffords' recovery and the shooting that injured her and killed six people.
Kelly, who has been photographed by his wife's hospital bed holding her hand, said a habit of hers has convinced him that she recognizes him.
"If I hold her hand, she'll play with my wedding ring," he said. "She'll move it up and down my finger. She'll take it off. ... She'll put it on her own finger. She'll move it to her thumb. And then she can put it back on my finger.
"The reason why I know that that means she recognizes me is because she's done that before. She'll do that if we're sitting in a restaurant. She'll do the same exact movements," he said.
Kelly was struck by Giffords' progress again when "she stuck her hand up on the side of my face" and began giving him a neck massage.
"She spent 10 minutes rubbing my neck and I keep telling her, 'Gabby, you're in the ICU. You know, you don't need to be doing this," he said with a chuckle.
Kelly added, "I'm pretty sure she wouldn't do that to somebody else."

* The Joker gets his by finally invading the Batcave, gassing Bruce and overpowering Terry in hand-to-hand capability. Three things one might never expect that broke down barriers.
* Ace the Bat-Dog [[HeartwarmingMoments watching Cartoons]], and later taking down one of the Joker's henchman, ''then'' attacking the man himself. As Terry says: "Good bad dog". It's in reference to Ace's past in dog fighting. The same line is used in Ace's backstory episode, which counts as another [=CMoA=] for him; he saves Terry from a gigantic mutant dog blob.
* Terry vs the Jokerz right before the Joker fight. He takes out all of them except for the spliced kid without any trouble. He sics Ace on the spliced kid.
** "Sic 'em, boy."
* Terry beats the Joker at his own [[BreakThemByTalking mind games]]. Bruce tells Terry to block Joker out ("Joker's vain and likes to talk. Keep your focus and power on through."), but then Terry realizes something: "[[YouFightLikeACow I like to talk too.]]" Terry then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LikMS5gDDI proceeds to]] ''[[BreakThemByTalking break the Joker by talking]]''.
-->''The fight starts with Joker overpowering Terry and knocking him to the floor.''

-->'''Joker:''' Don't play psychoanalyst with me, boy!
-->'''Terry:''' Oh, I don't need a degree to figure you out.
-->''Terry uses another Batarang to hit the power switch so the Joker can't see him''
-->'''Terry:''' The real reason you kept coming back was you couldn't get a laugh out of the old man.
-->'''Joker:''' I'm not hearing this.
-->'''Terry:''' Get a clue, clowny! (Bruce)'s got no sense of humor! He wouldn't know a good joke if it bit him in the cape. Not that you ever ''had'' a good joke.
-->'''Joker:''' Shut up! ''Shut up!''
-->'''Terry:''' I mean, joy buzzers, squirting flowers - lame! Where's the "A" material? Make a face, drop your pants, something!
-->'''Joker:''' Show yourself!
-->'''Terry:''' [[IronicEcho You make me laugh... but only because I think you're kinda pathetic.]] (''[[EvilLaugh laughs]]'')
-->'''Joker:''' Stop that!
-->'''Terry:''' So you fell in a tank of acid, got your skin bleached, and decided to become a supervillain. What? You couldn't get work as a rodeo clown? (''[[EvilLaugh laughs]]'')
-->'''Joker:''' Don't you dare laugh at me!
-->'''Terry:''' Why? I thought the Joker always wanted to make Batman laugh!
-->'''Joker: ''[[VillainousBreakdown YOU'RE NOT BATMAN!]]'''''
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXj8oa949GE&feature=related Not to mention the end of that fight. Joker is choking an incapacitated Terry]]:
--->'''Joker:''' C'mon, [=McGinnis=]. Laugh it up now, you miserable little punk. Laugh! I can't ''hear'' you!
--->'''Terry:''' (''straining'') ''[[PreMortemOneLiner Ha.]]'' '''''[[PreMortemOneLiner Ha.]]''''' (''uses Joker's own joybuzzer to zap the microchip containing Joker's mind, effectively killing him'')
*** What adds to the awesomeness is that Terry used the BreakThemByTalking as a distraction so that he could ''get'' the joy buzzer. Way to plan ahead.
*** The ultimate win for Terry? Not only does he finally defeat the Joker once and for all, he [[GrowingTheBeard does so in a way Bruce couldn't even conceive, much less execute.]]
* Joker got his own earlier during the flashback sequence in his response to [[spoiler: uncovering Batman's true identity]].
--> '''Joker:''' It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. (''{{Beat}}.'') Oh, what the heck. I'll laugh anyway! '''HAA HA HA HA HA HA!'''
** This final fight between the two old foes has a lot of Moments. Bruce is in full PapaWolf mode after seeing what the Joker did to [[spoiler: Tim Drake, and now the Joker has found out about (and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech thoroughly mocked]]) his identity and tragic past.]] He crashes through the window, knocking the projector over and doing a NeckLift on the Joker... who teases, "If you don't like the movie, I've got slides!" - then throws him through said window like he was a rag doll.
** Batman, his voice a rage-filled growl, declares he'll "break you in two," but the Joker dismissively reminds him that "[[ThouShaltNotKill if you had the guts for that kind of fun,]] [[JokerImmunity you would have done it]] ''[[JokerImmunity years]]'' [[JokerImmunity ago.]]" Then [[spoiler:stabs him with a knife]].
*** [[spoiler: There's also the fake out. He gestures with and looks toward his right hand, then pulls the knife out of his ''left'' sleeve. Bonus points for when you realize Joker's not saying "I on the other hand...", but really "'''Eye''' on the other hand..." [[{{Irony}} What could quite possibly be the one good joke he's ever made is that one that effectively defeats his nemesis.]]]]
** [[spoiler:The fight ends with [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the Joker on top of Batman, almost purring]] as he [[BreakThemByTalking softly explains that he has won, Robin is his, and the last sound Batman hears will be their laughter]].]]
** [[spoiler:Then Tim breaks out of the brainwashing effect and kills the Joker.]]
** Also, Harley vs Batgirl in the flashback was epic! Bonus points for Harley having a bazooka, and Batgirl for pwning her-bazooka and all!
** The edited/censored version of [[spoiler:the Jokers death gives Tim a major awesome moment. While Tim had been shown before to be no pushover in a fight, despite his age and size. The fact that the edited version has him "over power" Joker shows Joker should ''never'' have underestimated the boy.]]
* There's an understated moment of awesome before this in the form of Batman's almost trademark OffhandBackhand, this time done by Terry himself. What makes this truly awesome is that, in a previous episode, Terry could not do this and didn't get how Bruce could. While this movie in general pretty much proved that Terry had (for the most part) grown into the role, this one in particular was an awesome demonstration.
* The scene where The Joker gains control of a Military-grade KillSat, and uses it ''exactly'' the way you'd imagine the Joker would use a giant orbital laser.
--> '''Joker:''' Aren't you the nasty tattle-tale! Ratting me out before I've had my fun... Papa spank!
* Even more amazing is early in the film, when the dissenting Bonk confronts the Joker over the jobs he's been sending them on. The Joker shoots Bonk right in the heart after toying with him a little, then reasserts control over the gang by asking them to pledge loyalty.
-->'''Joker:''' I have to know you're with me. Will you say it for me one time?\\
'''Jokerz:''' ''[terrified]'' We're with you...\\
'''Joker:''' A little louder.\\
'''Jokerz:''' ''[louder]'' We're with you!\\
'''Joker:''' Dee Dee?\\
'''Dee Dee Twins:''' We're with you!\\
'''Joker:''' Boys?\\
'''Chucko and Ghoul:''' We're with you!\\
'''Joker:''' Bonk? ''[{{beat}}]'' Oh, right. ''Dead.''
** The expression on his face when he says it [[https://youtu.be/ntCIxJAaf2g?t=2m4s just has to be seen]].
*** It doesn't help that he seems to be looking right at the audience when he makes said face.
* The final scene when we hear the revamped version of the original Batman theme play for Terry just before the credits. Because ''that'' is when Terry truly became Batman, not just Bruce's errand boy.
* Let's face it, isn't it awesome that the Joker is finally dead, deconstructed and broken by Batman (new Batman)?
* AndreaRomano had a turn at voiceacting the brainwashed Robin. Despite being primarily a casting director, Romano's LaughingMad Robin is chilling.

PORTLAND -- Portland is known for being chock-full of coffee roasters. But a new roaster is setting itself apart from the pack.
Happy Cup Coffee is more than just a cheery name. The Northeast Portland company gives jobs to adults with developmental disabilities.
The holiday spirit is alive and well at the company's roasting center, where coffee roasters are happily prepping for Christmas purchases.
Happy Cup Coffee was started as a means to employ adults with developmental disabilities, said Adam Bray, Happy Cup's operations director.
The coffee is named by the employees themselves.
We really are getting very excited about the holiday season, said Bray.
On any given day, about a dozen folks are working to stamp bags, attach labels and sort and weigh the coffee beans. Happy Cup has only been around for two years, but it sells to nearly 30 grocery stores around the Portland area.
Bray said every bag of coffee helps folks with disabilities.
Happy Cup Coffee can be found at most of the specialty grocery stores and co-ops around the Portland metro area.

Here you can find answers to questions about how the board works. Use the links or search box below to find your way around.
Also, please note if you're NOT using a free image host, but your own personal webspace, please make sure you note that in your post. We don't know what your personal site is. You have to tell us, in the post, to avoid an infraction for hot-linking.
Please do not post tagged pictures. Please crop the picture to remove the tag or if that's not possible , please find an untagged version to post. Please do not give credit to the person or site who posted the original picture. An exception to the tagged picture rule is Dreamer who has kindly allowed us to post screen caps that she hosts.
Please do not include more than ten pictures or avatars in any one post. Some people are on dial up and it takes an age for posts with lots of images to load.We only allow articles to be posted from "official" news sources. This does not include other fan-sites, other TV boards, etc. If you do post an article from a real source, we must ask that you include a link to the original source. Please do not cut and paste posts from other reality sites or fan sites. If you read something at another site that you think will add to the discussion here, please paraphrase the post, do not cut and paste it here. The post will be removed and an infraction will likely be issued.
1) We want an intelligent, respectful member base.
2) No flaming, no baiting, no insults directed toward anyone other than contestants. Do not accuse others of "hating", call them "haters" or refer to disliking of anything as "hate'. It's far too strong a term to use on a reality tv website.
3) No discussions of racism, sexism, ageism, or any other ism.
4) Keep it PG-13. That means that "damn", "ass", "bitch" and "bastard" are acceptable, but anything beyond that is not and will be edited or removed.
5) The mods are the people in red. They are in charge of the site, and ONLY they are in charge of the site. If your name's not red, and you see something that violates our rules, you need to use the "Report Post" function (the little triangle sign under someone's avatar), or private message someone in red.
6) Add something of value to a thread, if you're going to post. Don't quote a whole post only to add "yeah that" or "I agree". Please do not post messages containing only smilies. Don't bother posting "so-and-so is soooo hawt!". These posts will be removed without notice.
7) Don't start a thread if another thread on the first three pages of a forum is similar and can be used instead. When you DO start a thread, make sure it's in the correct forum.
8) We have very little tolerance for people who use lingo, don't use proper English, type in all-capital letters, type in all-bold characters, or use excessive smilies.
9) Utilize our "Show Discussion" threads for discussions of that evening's shows, and don't start new threads to discuss what happened on that night's show, even if the night is over.
10) Our recaps are written by our wonderful writers (whose names appear in blue). It is impolite to use the recap threads to discuss the show--use the Show Discussion thread for show discussion. While you are free to disagree with the sentiments of the recapper, just as with basic rules for posting courtesy, it is inappropriate to post rude or baiting comments about the recap. If you catch a mistake in a recap, please consider common courtesy and alert the writer privately, not in the recap thread. Our writers work extremely hard in a volunteer position, so rudeness to them or attempts to "show them up" will not be tolerated.
11) Read our other rules. We expect our members to be familiar with them, and follow them, and don't expect "ignorance of the rules" as an excuse. Some sites have rules and don't enforce them - we're not one of them. Play nice, be good, and have fun.
Contestants of a reality show, having voluntarily agreed to appear on our televisions, are open for criticism and praise, and everything in between, assuming it falls within the bounds of the rest of our rules.
You don't have to agree with another member's opinion, but you DO have to respect it, and realize that it IS just an opinion, which may differ greatly from your own. Do not use the term "haters", refer to dislike of something as "hate". Please do not take it upon yourself to direct the discussion of a thread away from a topic you don't consider relevant. As long as people remain within our other rules they are allowed to discuss almost anything about a contestant in their dedicated thread. If you think a post crosses a line of being too off-topic please report the post, do not tell people to e.g. "get back to discussing the show."
Along the same lines, comments like "you must be deaf if you don't hear what I hear", "anyone who doesn't agree is an idiot", and so on are not acceptable. Additionally, we don't like the term "haters", because everyone is allowed to like or dislike anyone they choose, for whatever reason they choose. Practice the golden rule, and treat others like you would want to be treated.
Our contestant threads are NOT specifically for "only good comments" regarding that contestant. They are for discussion of that contestant, both good and bad. We are not a fan-site for any one contestant, or any one show.
Members who are flaming, baiting, or insulting other members will be removed from the site. And a special note here: if you ARE a contestant on a reality show, and you choose to visit our site, then you will be required to obey these same rules, and not insult our members for commenting on the characters on a TV show. We expect everyone to play nice.
If you want to send someone a tape, you may do so at cost for shipping and materials. You may not direct someone to a location on-line where they may download the episode, and you may not sell those tapes for profit on our site, even privately.
If we receive reports that a member is soliciting profit for tapes, we will take appropriate action, up to and including removal from our site. It's illegal, and we won't allow it on our site.
Torrents of episodes are ILLEGAL, and you will get an infraction for asking for them or giving our members information on where to find them.
We have recently changed our policy to allow links to youtube and other similar sites. You must not link to non-pg13 clips. Although we work hard to ensure the language at our site is pg13, users clicking links to youtube clips must bear in mind there is no such requirement for comments left at youtube. We cannot control what is posted there, so be forewarned you may come across coarse comments and adult language. Although links to youtube are now permitted we trust our site members will not abuse the rule change by over-posting irrelevant clips. We don't wish to see intelligent and respectful discussion give way to incessant posting of youtube clips.
We work extremely hard to bring members and visitors here and be the best we can be, and it is "theft", not to mention extremely poor etiquette, to attempt to direct our members elsewhere.
We DO allow the posting of "official" media articles, from real news sources, but we require a link to the original content on that site.
Users who link to other sites are responsible for ensuring the content at the site, at the time of posting, meets our pg13 rules.

The 40-year-old left Hearts this summer to take up the position of goalkeeper coach at Hibernian, where he has also been registered as a player in case of emergencies.
He is a relation of former Hibs player Bobby Combe, who played during the Famous Five era. With Combe also growing up as a Hibs supporter, he has been relishing the opportunity to help restore the club to its former glory this season.
"My job is to look after the goalkeepers but if that occasion were to come along I'd be jumping at the chance to play," said Combe. "I am honoured and over the moon to be at Hibs. I've received a lot of calls from Tynecastle congratulating me on being back in the game."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Charming studio apartment in an antique colonial home with an antique/gift shop on site. Why rent a hotel/motel room? This beautiful studio is a unique alternative. The apartment is located within walking distance to the North Shore Art Association, Rocky Neck Art Colony (the oldest working art colony in America), wonderful restaurants, beaches, and shopping. Private parking for 1-2 vehicles.
Main living space: The main living space is a bright, sunny large room with hardwood floors, a full size/double bed, kitchen set and seating area. We provide great comfy linens and quilts, and an extra cot can be provided if needed. The kitchen is small but fully equipped with a large refrigerator/freezer, small gas stove, breakfast bar, and everything needed to boil a lobster!
The bathroom has a full soaking tub with shower and beautiful floor to ceiling ceramic tile.
Patio: There is also a terrific outdoor private patio with wrought iron furniture. We also supply a small barbeque grill with everything needed for a great cookout.
My husband and I came out for a fall-time wedding in mid-October and we're SOOO glad we decided to stay at this quaint little studio apartment. We prefer to stay at vacation rentals when we can as opposed to hotels so we can plan our own meals and get a "true" feel for the area we're visiting.
The studio had everything we needed for our 4 night stay... wi-fi, well stocked kitchen, bathroom with ample hot water, T.V. (with dvd's and vhs tapes), games and more. The studio was very quiet (we slept well), and the owner is very kind offering an abundance of warmth, and hospitality.
If we ever venture back to the area we would definitely stay here again. We couldn't have been happier with our decision!
T+T...from San Diego area, California
This was our second year renting this charming studio for the 4th of July week. The studio is compact and convenient to beaches and town. I loved having my tea on the patio every morning. Joan is a warm and accommodating host. We will be back next again next year!
My wife and I really enjoyed our week-long stay at Joan's studio apartment. It was charming and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The studio is close to the water and walking distance from Rocky Neck with a great restaurant across the street. Joan was there when we needed her, but left us to ourselves the rest of the time. The pictures of the property on HomeAway reflect the property exactly which was much appreciated. We'll very likely be back next year.
I had an amazing time in Gloucester and really liked my stay at this cosy and charming studio. Joan Cotto is a lovely warm and friendly person and she was very helpful but not in an intrusive way. She gave me a lot of information about Gloucester and the beautiful surrounding. Loved the feeling of "living" in Gloucester for one week, thanks to this nice studio.
The studio is in walking distance of Rocky Neck (the art colony) and about a 20-25 minute walk from the center of Gloucester.
Don't forget to go on a whalewatchtour in the season! Gloucester is one of the best places to watch humpbackwhales because it's in between two feeding areas.
lovely little efficiency! joan -- the owner -- is warm and personable, but not intrusive. she's thought of everything to equip the kitchen for those of us who like to cook (and steam our own lobsters!). all entertainment amenities have been taken care of: TV, DVD, VCR, CD, even a tape player! comfy place to read as well as a place to do work. right near the water, though no view of the ocean. but a patio where you can hear the gulls. walking distance to some great restaurants and lobster pounds.

Which holiday was that?
I have been a resident of Mahoning County for 75 years and I have never heard of a Holiday Parade. I do remember my parents taking me down town to a Christmas Parade, like the one they have in New York and Philadelphia but I never heard of a Holiday Parade.
Is Youngstown combining Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, Veterans Day, New Years Day and all the other holidays into one day? I know that Dec. 25 was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress and it is called Christmas. Let me be the first one to vote to bring back a Christmas Parade. Anybody who wants to take Dec. 25 and combine that date with their holiday, tell them to go and get their own act of Congress,
Dear Bill,
I bet that Jesus wouldn't care one bit what we called a parade at this time of the year. I think he'd be happy just to see all of us celebrating kindness towards each other.
Instead of worrying about Christmas labels, let's honor Christ by demonstrating peace and goodwill towards our fellow humans.
Peace be with you.
Political Correctness has gone too far, and I wish as much time was spent worrying about whether the Christian majority in this country is offended, as is spent worrying about tiny little loudmouth special interest groups being offended.
leaveusalone, I think you're wrong. I think Jesus WOULD be offended at this latest diluting of a Christian holiday.
Can we have peace and goodwill toward our fellow man, AND call Christmas by its proper name too? I think so.
I think we have to many other religions in our country, to force people to call soemthing Christmas. When you talk to a jew you dont say Merry Christamas. By calling it a Holiday Parade it opens the event to all religions.
Believe it or not there are actually places in this country where people of all beliefs take advantage of the season to wish each other well and work to live in peace and harmony. These people actually share their celebrations and customs with others in the spirit that the season is meant to convey.
On the other hand there are still places in this country where people wave their flag and thump their bible while showing disrespect and disdain for anyone with beliefs other than their own. It's amusing that those people consider themselves "Christ like".
knucles518, what do you say to your Jewish friends around Easter? Do you even know when Yom Kippur or Passover is?
This season has always been Christmas. What's changed that we now need a new name for it?
And Quail, yes, you can call it whatever you want. And you can put up a Winter Holiday Bush in your living room, and put Winter Holiday Lights on your house, and sing Winter Holiday Carols, and all the rest. Seems like you're the one getting all bent out of shape because others want what is, after all, a religious holiday to keep the same religious name it's had since long before anybody worried about offending someone else over something so mind-numbingly trivial.
Cambridge & Quail, I agree 100 percent!
It's MERRY CHRISTMAS,not Happy Holiday.It's because of Jesus Christ that we celebrate,and for no other reason.
...my x-mas present for NoBS
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Cambridge, what do you think you're doing bringing that rational thought into this conversation?
Acknowledging that people like Jews and African Americans may celebrate similar holidays around the same time? What a foolish idea!
If we recognize the beliefs of someone other than white Christians we are obviously "bleeding heart, PC liberals".
In which case, call me a "bleeding heart, PC liberal" all you want. I'll tell people who I know celebrate Christmas Merry Christmas, and I'll tell my other friends Happy Holidays. If I meet someone for the first time, I'll take the "Happy Holidays" high road just to cover it all.
DJColon: There is no problem here for me to be part of. The city had a parade; called it a holiday parade; and, as a result, no one had to feel excluded. If some people feel that it's that easy to diminish Christmas, or Christ, by the label they place on something, then they do not comprehend either very well.
NoBS: Why would Jesus, who was Jewish, be offended? He celebrated the Jewish holidays - in a time and place where his people were a religious minority, often persecuted for their beliefs. I have to think that he would applaud our society's sincere attempts to honor each other.
I have no problem calling Christmas Christmas - I simply like to remember that the same season is also Hanukkah to my Jewish friends, Kwanzaa to my African American friends, Al-Hijira to my Muslim acquaintances, and Yule to those who follow the Wiccan religion. And with all due respect, I think you contradict yourself. On the one hand, you want to keep the name of a religious holiday as it's been, (which I assume means it's important to you) and then, in the same sentence, you say "....before anybody worried about offending someone else over something so mind-numbingly trivial." I sense (and I hope I'm wrong) that you consider the Christian name to be important, but the other religious names and traditions to be trivial?
mikeymike: it's only Merry Christmas if you are Christian. Yes, Christmas commemorates the birth of Christ. But the holiday wasn't even "officially" established until about 350 AD, by Julius I, Bishop of Rome. Prior to then, December 25 had been celebrated by the Romans as Saturnalia, and by the Persians as the birthday of Mithras, their god of light and wisdom. There are scholars who believe that much of our Christmas tradtion was actually adapted from these earlier celebrations, in an attempt to convert more followers to Christianity.
I notice that the words "politically correct" and the phrase "PC" are tossed around a lot. I would offer a different view of "PC". The letters should stand for POLITE and CONSIDERATE.
This country is strong and remarkable, not because it adheres to any particular religion. It is a beacon to the world because it respects the rights of individuals to worship God in their own way. It is not perfect; but its attempts to be inclusive of all peoples should be applauded and supported.
Standing ovation leaveusalone, your post was spot on!
I couldnt have said it better myself leaveusalone thank you.
And thank you to everyone who came Downtown with there loved ones and families and enjoyed the Parade.
Happy Festivus! (A holiday for the rest of us!!!)
Technically, it IS a holiday tree, not a Christmas tree. The tradition of putting up a tree indoors is actually a pagan tradition, predating Christianity by many years. It's part of their "festival of light", celebrating the winter solstice and the coming of the sun, not the s-o-n. This time of year has been celebrated since well before Christianity. I personally don't have a problem with calling a "Christmas" tree, since that's what I was taught to call it growing up, as were so many of us. As a matter of fact, I recently put up a "Christmas" tree. But, I would also not suggest worrying about what it's called, regardless of it's meaning to you, and rather be happy there is a parade and celebrate the season for what it is. The coming together of family and loved ones, a time of giving and sharing, a time to put our differences aside and be peaceful. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Season's Greetings to you sir and to everyone else.
You got it Candy......love the seinfeld! lol
Who cares?

Special Correspondent
The academy is expected to be completed in a year's time
BANGALORE: The foundation stone for FIFA Goal Project II, an initiative of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) in association with the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and Karnataka State Football Association (KSFA) was laid by Civil Aviation Minister and president of the AIFF, Praful Patel, and Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa at the Bangalore Football Stadium (BFS) on Wednesday.
The academy, expected to be completed in a year's time, will be aimed at nurturing young talent at the national and state level.
Capable of handling between 40 and 60 students, the academy will boast of international facilities like a paramedic centre, world-class gymnasium and boarding and lodging for the candidates.
Built at a cost of Rs. 3.5 crore, the academy will select youngsters from local and national tournaments and train them through a period of two years.
FIFA has also sanctioned another 3.5 crores to lay an astro-turf at BFS. Mr. Patel, spoke of the importance of developmental programs and said, "The Goal Project is being initiated in various parts of the country as we feel the need to improve the status of the sport and also decentralise it.
"State level developmental programs and more international exposure for the national team are the need of the hour."
He also added that an international tour for the Indian team had been planned and would happen in 2010.
Mr. Patel also commended the state governments efforts for the upliftment of the sport and requested Mr. Yeddyurappa to patronise the sport.
In response to Mr. Patel's request, the Chief Minister promised a grant of Rs. 5 crore to the KSFA for its youth development programme.

Maximum Misdirection: Here's Crysis 3, But In Reverse
Watching the latest in Crysis 3's 'Seven Wonders' series, I can't help but be reminded of totally amazing 7DFPS entry Vonneguts & Glory. No, Crytek's hardware-hemorrhaging squidshoot hasn't suddenly started dressing like Wolfenstein 3D, but it has slammed on the breaks and shifted into reverse for some reason. The effect is neat-looking, I suppose, but now I really just want a mega-budget backward shooter. Start at the end, un-shoot your victims and watch as they happily go home to their families, un-fire un-explosions from your un-gun, etc. Oh well, though. For now we'll just have to ponder what could've been while watching Prophet moonwalk through Wall Street. Take a peep after the break ' unless, of course, real life's actually been in reverse the entire time and youalready have.

He was appointed in 2003 to his current post as Georgetown's first-ever vice president for mission and ministry, directing numerous programs for faculty, staff, students, and alumni which further Catholic and Jesuit identity.
"From my first days as a member of the Holy Cross Board of Trustees, the distinctive mission of Holy Cross—along with the themes of academic rigor in a liberal arts environment, the commitment to teaching and learning, the emphasis on social justice, meaning and value—have resonated with me," Boroughs said. "It is an honor and a great privilege to have been selected to join the Holy Cross community as its next president."
Prior to his time at Georgetown, Fr. Boroughs served as the rector of the Jesuit Community at Seattle University where he was also a faculty member in the School of Theology and Ministry and an administrator (1992-2001). Previously, he taught religious studies at Gonzaga University (1989-91), served as the assistant novice director for the Oregon Province of Jesuits (1980-82), and was a parish priest at St. Leo Church in Tacoma, Wash.

New Jesuit Chaplain Reflects on Life at Holy Cross and His Work With Students
Even after two years at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., Jesuit Father Gregory Lynch, assistant chaplain, is still talking about his "new" job as exciting.
It's a graduation of sorts for him. Before arriving at Mount St. James, Fr. Lynch was a high school history teacher and assistant swim coach at Creighton Preparatory in Omaha, and says he was looking forward to working with older students.
"I enjoy working with college students," he says. "I'm able to laugh with them and walk on their journey with them at the same time, whereas that is more difficult to do as a high school teacher."

Soulja Boy - Let Me Get Em (aka Shootout)
Artist: Soulja Boy
Producer: DeAndre Way
Album: Souljaboytellem.com
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 88 votes )
When you're having fun in the club there is nothing that can ruin the ambiance more than somebody firing gunshots, right? Fortunately, Soulja Boy knows how to take lemons and make lemonade with his newest single, Let Me Get 'Em (Shootout). Although Soulja Boy's production includes as many gunshot sounds as a entire 50 Cent album, Let Me Get 'Em has already been playin' at the club and there's no reason to believe it won't continue. To avoid any potential controversy, Mr. ColliPark does a PSA-type intro: "Shooutout is a dance, and is not intended to incite any violent behavior. Yuah." Regardless, it should be interesting if Shootout successfully makes it to radio.

"This is the best book on the nuts and bolts—and art—of filmmaking I've read. Tom Reilly is a consummate pro. His insightful, practical instruction and explanation will rivet anyone who cares about movies and wants to know how sometimes mundane but often astonishingly difficult work on the set ends up as magic on the screen. Reilly's vivid behind-the-camera descriptions of great directors and cinematographers at work will enlighten and entertain you. If this were a movie, I'd say: See it twice."
—Eric Lax, author of Conversations with Woody Allen
