A week ago We the People exercised our political power and put Obama back the White House. Americans chose a clear path. A vote for Romney was a vote for rule by the rich, for "trickle", for oligarchy. But instead, Americans bet on the working class. Voters showed faith in the American work ethic, faith in American ingenuity. Voters showed that they believe that a hard day's work should pay off, and that this basic American value shouldn't be sacrificed just so a lucky rich few can benefit.
Angry that their immense riches didn't translate into immense power over the will of American voters, corporate executives and rich guys of all kinds have began revenge layoffs and anti-worker actions, with a condescending "you brought this on yourself" attitude. The most numerous of these have been revenge actions from chain restaurants. Papa John's, Jimmy John's, Applebee's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and now Denny's & Hurricane Grill & Wings.
For me it's personal. My wife is a cook by trade, slogging her way from restaurant to restaurant. She's been a cook for nearly 20 years, with little to show for it. But she is an excellent cook, and more importantly she knows how to run a kitchen. She knows what to do when there's two rows of tickets and a full grill of burgers and the damn printer still won't stop spitting out more tickets. She's tough, which is something that arrogant, privileged restaurant owners and franchisees don't always like that. Women are supposed to be skinny waitresses, not strong, skilled cooks.
Only "serious" cooks need apply.
When she gets a new restaurant job, it always starts the same way. They start her off around 8 bucks an hour, to work at that low wage "prove that she's serious". Her and I both know that the "prove you're serious" wage is because she's a woman, and in nearly every kitchen she works, she's the only female. Being a cook is physical work. She stacks 50-pound boxes in the cooler, refusing offers of "let me get that" and "are you sure you can lift all that?", which are sometimes well-meaning, and sometimes condescending. She scrapes grills and scrubs fryers.
She always proves that she's a "serious" cook, to the surprise of many. She always proves these guys wrong.
She usually does get some kind of a raise, and some kind of an opportunity to move up. After a month or there is no question that she's "serious" with real experience, skill, and work ethic, and that she could work at any other restaurant if she wanted to. Good help is hard to find, so at first they do what they can to keep her.
A strange breed
But restaurant franchisees and corporate restaurant managers are a strange breed. They "buy" a franchise or manage a corporate owned restaurant with a ready made, focus-group tested, tightly controlled business plan. There is no creativity required, no restaurant expertise needed. These bosses come from the business world, not the food world. They are almost invariably authoritarian, condescending megalomaniacs. However, her immediate supervisor is usually someone who came from the kitchen, someone who appreciates her hard work. But he's not the big bossman who makes decisions about whether or not she gets a promotion or a raise.
I get tired of seeing her get kicked around by these guys. She worked at a restaurant where she found out that she wasn't being paid as much as the male cooks even though she had been there a few years. She confronted the manager, and he promised a raise. After about 6 months of not getting her promised raise, she quit. All the people she met there who she thought were her friends stopped talking to her, saying she "screwed them over", and one of them started calling and harrassing her. I wanted to kick his ass, but she made me stay out of it. That's the way she is, she is strong and hard-working, and never needs a man to "protect" her.
She worked at another chain restaurant, a local chain. Again she was a rock star in the kitchen. She worked her way up from her "prove you're serious" wage to a position where she had some management duties. Her immediate supervisors thought she was great, but the owner was an arrogant jerk who inherited the restaurant from his dad. He never got along with my wife. The front of the house manager was a skinny, Christian, unapologetically conservative woman who had five kids. The owner fired my wife suddenly and unexplainably, and made the obedient front-of-the-house manager in charge of the kitchen instead. He couldn't stand the thought of a strong, hard working woman who wasn't afraid to get down and dirty and do a man's job.
Douchebag CEO's
That's how these corporate chains are. She actually has a job right now that treats her decent. But they have trouble finding good help because they don't pay shit. She has been moving up the ladder quickly, and has high hopes. But working at chain restaurants can be a thankless job with little reward for the endless physical labor involved.
That's why I get so pissed off at dicks like Papa John. They already pay their overworked employees peanuts. These workers never get holidays off, never get paid sick days, never get vacations, never get health insurance. It's just the norm for that business, and it already isn't right. These guys get so rich by paying their employees very little. Now these greedy corporate restaurant CEO's want to bitch because they might actually have to treat their employees like human beings?
Fuck you Papa John, and every douchebag restaurant CEO who talks about taking it out on their employees because American voted to give restaurant workers some fucking rights. They deserve healthcare because they're Americans, and they work hard.
Originally I wasn't going to post this. My wife doesn't need anyone to speak for her. She doesn't want to be protected. She is a hard worker, tough and streetsmart. She may not have wanted me to post this rant. I've kept it somewhat vague because I don't want to get her in trouble. But as I see restaurant franchisees and CEO's stand up and say they are going to make life harder for their already overworked and underappreciated workers just to punish American voters for electing Obama, I have to say something. This is for all cooks who toil in hot, greasy kitchens and get paid much less than they are worth.
Screw you, Papa John. Screw you, John Metz. Go ahead, Applebees, stop building restaurants. It just leaves more room for mom and pop shops to fill the void. Maybe a new wave of restaurant owners will give hard workers like my wife some fucking respect.

Three Indian-origin women in South Africa have been murdered brutally in separate incidents, two of them allegedly killed by their partners, sending shock waves among the community members. One of the women was buried without her head after her decapitated body was found and another was stabbed more than 50 times, allegedly by her husband.
The murders have occurred as the country celebrated the annual Women's Month, including a public holiday on August 9 which marks the anti-apartheid march in 1953 by hundreds of women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Family of one of the victims, Desiree Murugan, 39, said she was a drug addict and had turned to prostitution to find money for her habit.
Police spokesperson Colonel Jay Naicker said a team of detectives had worked around the clock to track down and arrest six suspects for Murugan's murder.
The suspects include a woman and a traditional healer. The body of Shareen Pillay, a 41-year-old mother from Johannesburg, was found on the side of a busy road. Pillay's husband Yengesen Pillay was arrested three days later in a drunken state at a tavern in Pietermaritzburg, some 500 km from Johannesburg. He is facing a charge of stabbing his wife more than 50 times.
Pillay is under police guard in a hospital after attempting suicide with an overdose of tablets. Rose Bell, 32, and a mother of one, was shot and killed in Durban. Her boyfriend of six years, Dayandran Govender, a municipal policeman, appeared in court just hours before her funeral on a charge of premeditated murder. Govender claimed that he was grappling with Bell when his gun went off, wounding her in the stomach. Community leaders have expressed concern over the increasing incidents of domestic violence in the Indian community. "It may be worse than the cases reported to the police because often victims, especially women, are reluctant to lay charges for fear of further victimisation and even ostracisation by the community," a social worker said.

everytime this comes up on a thread it always just goes wackadoo on both sides of the fence... the hassle factor of international regs (even us costal) even deepens the quagmire. ie, in TX the castle law states that i can have a gun in my house/car w/o a permit for self defense. i have gone through and obtained a CHL (conceal handgun lic), but dont really use it. only some states have reciprocity in regard to such licenses, also probably worth noting--at least in TX--if you hold a CHL you are held to a higher standard of the law. ie, they can site you for dwi/dui/bui(boating under the influence?) soley on the basis of suspicion. is the risk of international jail time worth the trade off of the safety factor? someone will always have a bigger stick
...or can you make a false bottom in your saloon library where it wont be found?
guess like everything else... need to use vs risk of breaking some law... its just a crap shoot.
flaregun and gaff may be enough in most cases....

President Obama Encourages Israel to Minimize Civilian Death
July 18th, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is encouraging Israel to try to minimize civilian deaths in its ground push into Hamas-ruled Gaza.
Obama says he talked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Friday about the Gaza operation and reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself. He told reporters at the White House that no nation should accept rockets being fired into its borders.
Israel's movement follows a 10-day campaign of more than 2,000 airstrikes that had failed to halt relentless Hamas rocket fire on Israeli cities.
Israel stepped up its campaign after the Islamic militant group refused to accept an Egyptian truce offer.

An anonymous email has threatened to blast the State Assembly, JNTUH building apart from physically eliminating the Technical Education Minister, Mopidevi Venkataramana and JNTUH Vice Chancellor, D.N. Reddy if students detained for want of attendance were not given relief immediately.
The mail was sent to the JNTUH VC on his official email ID yesterday from a fictitious mail created using the JNTUH website. The sender argued in favour of the detainees stating that shortage of attendance was due to floods, swine flu, dengue and other diseases that hit the State in the last two months and University should immediately promote them. University officials feel that some disgruntled elements who were not allowed to take the examinations for shortage of attendance might have sent the mail.
The JNTUH Vice Chancellor, D.N.Reddy said the matter was brought to the notice of the Intelligence IG, M. Mahender Reddy who in turn asked them to lodge a complaint with the Cyber Crime cell.
Prof. Reddy said 2,800 candidates were detained this year which was just 1.8 per cent of the students. There is no increase in percentage of candidates detained as alleged in the mail and it is the same case every year. He made it clear that UGC rules have to be followed strictly on the attendance issue and Universities go by the attendance figures given by the colleges.

The Tribeca film festival kicked off last night in New York, and two events, the SOS: Short Film Program (plus after-party) and Vanity Fair's Tribeca soiree, drew everyone from dapper Bobby De Niro and green scenester Al Gore to PAs in cargo pants and MTV's Gideon Yago in gum-stained dungarees.
At the SOS fete, Martin Scorsese, Josh Lucas, Christopher Walken, and others provided quick interludes between short flicks. When he wasn't having his ear chewed off by Gore, Jon Bon Jovi did his version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and then his own "Living on a Prayer," giving the otherwise classy event a distinct karaoke vibe.
Then there's Jimmy Fallon. Fresh from serving as stand-up fodder for Bill Clinton at this week's Food Bank event, he subjected attendees to what one guest described as forced on-stage banter with De Niro. At one point Fallon rattled off jokey movie titles, riffing on De Niro's Meet the Fockers. "When he said 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Fockers,' it was just obnoxious," said a witness.
At the SOS after-party, held at the majestic Winter Garden in the World Financial Center, guests sipped ginger-infused martinis and listened to Amy Winehouse singles about rehab. Bon Jovi rolled quickly into the curtained VIP area with a half-dozen or more friends in tow, while Gore's party of six, flanked by a serious Secret Service detail, stopped to greet filmmakers.
MTV's Gideon Yago also made the rounds with what appeared to be gum stuck to his pants leg, while former NY Giant Tiki Barber moved about with a hot woman stuck to his arm like he was running her in for a touchdown.

Simply rallying with a midsize frame is a whole other story than playing a match. You need to hit very cleanly with a midsize and that is much more difficult during a match. So it is important to demo racquets during matches as well.
I tell this from my own experience and I started with during the wooden era so I know how a 65 sq inch wooden frame plays. I think I wouldn't be able to play at the same level as with a 95" headsize. I was also intrigued by the feel of the Head Prestige Mid and I tried to switch several times but every time I noticed that it was just too small for my game. My slice serves and backhand were not as penetrating as with a 95" headsize. Volleys are a bit easier as well because of the more forgiveness of a MP.
So I would recommend the OP to switch to a smaller MP (95-98 inch headsize) first. When you feel that is still too big then you might take the step to a midsize.
I think this is good advice. You will have an easier transition to a mid if you hit somewhat flatter. If you are playing a topspin based game from the baseline you will notice the lack of forgiveness more.
You can demo 4-racquets from TW for $20. If you can play at least a set or two with each you should have a good idea how they will work for you. If you try the Blade 98 and 93, you can also throw in a couple of 95's. A Prestige MP and Babolat Pure Storm LTD would be good choices.

At first glance, you may think this story from The Hollywood Reporter is for "the birds."
Actress Tippi Hedren, most famous for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film, The Birds, was granted $1.5 million stemming from being doused by a gallon of water that fell on her while rehearsing for a scene in the TV show, Fashion House, in 2006.
Ms. Hedren was afflicted by constant headaches before having spinal fusion surgery to alleviate the problem. The surgery worked and she was able to work again. However, when the gallon of water unexpectedly fell on her during a rehearsal of the show, the headaches returned and she was unable to work.
The actress sued her then-attorney, Joseph Allen, for malpractice, as Ms. Hedren was precluded from suing the producers of the TV show due to Mr. Allen's failure to file appropriate paperwork on her behalf.
In 2009, Hedren sued her former lawyer for malpractice for all the money she reasonably could have expected to have recovered in the prior lawsuit had things gone right. A jury returned a verdict totaling $1,483,708, which included $213,400 for past, lost earnings and $440,308 for future lost earnings.
Los Angeles-based wine dealer Rudy Kurniawan is accused of defrauding some of the wealthiest people in the world. He is currently on trial in a New York City courtroom for selling not-so-fine wine to people that believed they were purchasing the best of the best. Billionaire industrialist William I. Koch testified that he was conned in 2005, paying $35,000 for a double magnum of 1947 Chateau Petrus from the Bordeaux region.
Mr. Kurniawan is reported to have sold $35 million worth of wine in 2006 alone.
A laser printer, sealing wax, ink stamps, empty bottles, and old corks were found at his home office. Wine producers, authenticators, collectors, and sommeliers are testifying in the case, offering their expertise on distinguishing counterfeit from authentic bottles of wine.
Kurniawan's alleged actions have uncorked a blip in this market that created a rippling repercussions felt worldwide, according to industry insiders as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
…."Every single person who drinks wine was affected by this because it drove all prices up," said Maureen Downey, a sommelier and wine consultant in San Francisco who came to New York to watch the trial in federal court in Lower Manhattan. "When you raise the ceiling, you raise the floor."
Apparently, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is a minor league shortstop when he's not guiding Santa's sleigh with that luminescent bulbous nose on the night before Christmas, Yahoo Sports reports.
The switch-hitting reindeer has been playing professionally since 2009, starting out in the Workshop Summer League, moving up to the Arctic League, and is now playing in the Holiday League.
The 375-pound, 5'3" reindeer is coming into his own, having slugged 12 homers, with 79 RBI, and 188 hits while hitting .312 with 602 at bats.
….The record on Rudolph shows steady improvement from his first season, which of course was blighted by prejudice over his shiny red nose — from not only Rudolph's own father, but by Santa Claus himself — along with a measly .528 on-base plus slugging percentage.
With an end to his career in baseball potentially looming, the New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez appears to be transitioning to his position as a house flipper, NBC Sports reports.
Less than six months ago, the slugger paid $2.1 million for a condo near Biscayne Bay, which is now on the market for $3.2 million. Rodriguez is reported to have commissioned designer Briggs Edward Soloman shortly after purchasing the three-bedroom, four bathroom residence to completely renovate, according to Realtor.com.
…. The All-Star third baseman was suspended 211 games after being linked to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs and has since sued Major League Baseball. Besides his ongoing legal trouble, Rodriguez made real estate news earlier this year when he parted ways with the aforementioned ultra-modern waterfront mansion.
If the music, television, and film industries can have their Grammys, Emmys, and Oscars, why can't scientists and techies have their own night as well?
Well, that is the forethought that went into the awards show called the Breakthrough Prizes. This year's red-carpet ceremony, which was held on Thursday evening and hosted by actor Kevin Spacey, took place attheNASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. Celebrity Chef Thomas Keller and his staff prepared dinner for the attendees.
Overall, seven awards and a total of $21 million were awarded, with each recipient receiving a cash prize of $3 million. Six Breakthroughs were issued in Life Sciences and one was given in Fundamental Physics. The 2014 Breakthrough Prizes will include a new category.
At the end of the night, Zuckerberg and Milner unveiled a third category of prizes to be awarded in the coming year — the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics — with details to come in 2014.
Joe Farrell is a homebuilder that is fiercely passionate toward his profession.
The former member of the New York Mercantile Exchange left a hugely successful career to pursue that passion … which had been burning within him for years.
Mr. Farrell, who has been called the "McMansion Builder," built his own dream home in 2009 and then decided to sell it. He originally listed the mansion dubbed the Sandcastle at $59,5 million, dropped his asking price to $49.5 million, and ultimately, reduced it to $43.5 million. The house has been on the market since it was completed.
However, when a buyer finally offered to pay full price … Farrell said no and took the home off the market. What? As it turned out, his desire to keep the ideal home for his wife and three children was important than making the deal. Who said business moguls only have no heart?
Joe Farrell recently had a chat with JustLuxe's Susan Kime and spoke candidly about his professional and personal interests. It is a good read. Like most of us, there is more to him than meets the eye.
Curve balls ... and now curved coins.
The U.S. Mint will release a series of coins that are curved instead of flat, as reported by the United States Mint, on its website. This is the first time ever that a coin will have a curvature built into it.
The coins, which will be issued in 2014, are being produced to commemorate the 75th anniversary of baseball's Hall of Fame.
Cassie McFarland won a nationwide competition for the design of the coin.
The common obverse, also know as "heads," will feature a baseball glove; the common reverse (tails) depicts a baseball reminiscent of a major league baseball. The head side is concave and the tails side is convex.
There will be a $5 gold coin, a $1 silver coin, and a half-dollar clad coin. A contest was held to determine the design. Complete details are available at the U.S. Mint's website.
….Surcharges for each coin sold are authorized to be paid to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, an independent not-for-profit educational institution, to help fund its operations. Surcharges per coin are:
The recent sale of American artist Norman Rockwell's Saying Grace painting for $46 million at auction has raised questions concerning the value of other works by the prolific painter with 4,000 works to his credit.
Including Saying Grace, six Rockwell paintings sold for nearly $60 million this month at an auction by Sotheby's, the world's second largest high-end auction. It is uncertain whether that sale will prompt a spike in the value of any Rockwell painting in the future.
The artist, who is renowned for his paintings that were used as the covers for numerous Saturday Evening Post magazines gave away some of his paintings. Rockwell gave his work, The Babysitter, to a sixth grade class in Vermont that sent $48 to the artist along with and a request to buy a painting to memorialize a classmate that had died of leukemia.
An auction held on December 5 by Christie's, one day after the Sotheby's auction, sold other Rockwell paintings. The highest priced work of those sold went for $1.6 million.
.... It must be noted that "Grace" is not just any Rockwell. The painting of a time-worn woman and young boy bowing their heads in prayer over a table in a bustling diner appeared on an enormously popular 1951 Saturday Evening Post Thanksgiving cover. It resonates in a special way, Plunkett, [deputy director and chief curator at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass,] said.
Last month the NYPD sent a letter to bars, taverns, lounges, and clubs in the city with a special request.
The police requested that the alcohol diespensers refuse to serve booze to the Santa-clad attendees of SantaCon 2013 that would descend upon the city on December 14 in full St. Nick costumes to do their annual all-day bar crawl through the city. Attendees of SantaCon 2013 also dressed like elves and reindeer as well.
While it is reported that there were no-Santa zones established, as seen in the photo gallery posted by ABC News depicting the not-so-discreet Santa Clauses converging on and running through the streets of NYC yesterday, the request was not 100% upheld citywide in the City that Never Sleeps.
Oh well … ho-ho-ho!
The decade-long prognosis of deluxe carmakers that luxury automobile lovers would spend their greenbacks on green cars has not lived up to expectations.
The New York Times reports that the exact opposite has occurred, with high-end hybrids being the biggest duds in the market. With the exception of the C-suite execs of the Silicon Valley and, of course, actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio, the green movement has most brands seeing red ink instead of black on their ledgers.
However, with governmental regulations calling for cars that are more fuel-efficient with lower emissions and lighter carbon footprints, the rollout of these top-line hybrids carries on.
Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and other prestigious brands will continue with efforts to entice the market with their ecologically correct offerings.
…. Promising better mileage than their forebears — and in many cases, the ability to recharge from the grid to deliver miles of pure-electric motoring — these hybrids will look to meet the more stringent regulations and attract more customers to low-fossil driving.
Status-seeking shoppers are back!
The entry-level luxury market is showing signs of picking up, as consumers who aspire to be owners of high-end products are once again including luxury products on their shopping lists, CNBC reports.
Industry experts are seeing an increase in purchases of deluxe items from middle-class shoppers in 2013 than in prior years since the worldwide economic collapse of 2008. While the desire to shop like the elite "one-percent" is back, it is not occurring at the "warp-all credit cards" pace as it did previously. Consumers are buying slower and being more prudent.
The return of the aspiring market is also aided by luxury brands offering alternative lines of products to shoppers. The car industry is a good example with its offerings of less expensive, entry-level luxury lines, as seen by both Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
Consumers are trading up instead of burning through their cash and available credit.
….Before the recession, aspirational shoppers—often people with a household income of about $100,000—were responsible for a large chunk of consumer spending, Ben-Shabat said. But when the economy dropped off in 2008, they disappeared from shopping centers and online stores along with the rest of the population.
Similar to cars being driven on a turnpike, ships that pass through Greece will pay a tax for such privilege effective January 1, 2014, reports Yachting Monthly.
Size will determine the amount of the fee that ships will pay to use Greece's waterways. Jim Baerselman, a member of the Cruising Association, told YM that this fee could adversely affect the number of yachts that pass through. The Cruising Association has nearly 1,500 members that currently sail through the surrounding islands.
According to Mr.Baerselman, he spoke with a Greek tax account that said that the tax will be charged for all recreational and commercial ships and small boats, regardless of their flag, which sail or are moored or anchored in Greek waters.
….[Jim Baerselman]went on to say the Minister of Marine and Aegean said yachts or motorboats sailing in Greek waters needed to keep proof of payment with their registration document which is issued when entering Greece.
A haberdashery in Manhattan had a $40,000 crocodile jacket stolen off its racks earlier this month.
The theft took place on East 57th Street at the Zilli boutique, a high-end store that specializes in selling high-end exotic outerwear. The robbery reportedly occurred at about 5:30 p.m. The entrance to the men's store is locked and patrons have to be granted access to enter it.
Outerwear sold at Zilli is priced as high as $150,000. The niche shop is located next to the Four Seasons Hotel and is near other high-end designer stores, such as Prada and Brioni.
The police have released photographs of two suspects, a man and a woman believed to be in their early 20s. It is reported that the woman removed the coat from the rack and handed it to the man, who then took it into the fitting room. It is believed that he placed it into a duffel bag and came out of the fitting room, and then the couple left the shop unnoticed.
The store's manager told the New York Times that there is more to the story, but that he could not comment any further.
.... How they were able to pull off such a brazen early-evening heist has yet to be explained. Thefts of such magnitude are not unheard-of in New York's shopping enclaves, but rarely do they occur with such apparent finesse.
The luxury real estate market in Reno, Nevada, is moving upwardly, according to a report by the Reno Gazette Journal.
Many of the upscale houses for sale in the Northern Nevada area being bought up by the exodus of Californians in search of better values and lower tax rates.
The passing of Proposition 30 in California, which raised taxes for wealthy residents, has been a boon for the neighboring state's high-end single-family residences. Reno, Carson City, and the Lake Tahoe area are selling well.
….More than 187 luxury properties priced above $750,000 in Reno, Sparks, Verdi and Washoe Valley are listed with Coldwell Banker. Additionally, the company is brokering 16 lakefront homes on the East Shore of Lake Tahoe and three on the South Shore in California.
A resident of Illinois, Johnny Orris, 86, came up short in collecting his prize for winning the Get My Grandpa Laid contest staged by radio personality Howard Stern, the Nevada Appeal reports.
Mr. Orris is reported to have died after choking on a piece of meat at Harvey's Lake Tahoe restaurant before hopping over to the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Mound House to have sex with a prostitute. Mr. Orris' grandson, Ed, who accompanied his horny grandfather on his last trip, was given the freebie by the owner of the Bunny Ranch, when he told him that his grandfather had died.
Dennis Hof, the owner of the legal bordello, told the newspaper of the conversation he had with Mr. Orris' on collecting his prize.
…. "He talked about how it was the greatest day of his life," Hof said, "and how he never thought he'd be having sex again."
…."He said, 'Before I do this, I want to have a big steak'," Hof added.
Singer Eryka Badu, 42, is the new face of French design house Givency in its Spring/Summer 2014 line, the New York Daily News reports.
The first two images of the campaign were released through a new campaign on Instagram. The renowned photography duo, Mert alas and Marcus Piggott, shot the campaign for Givenchy.
The singer has relased six albums and has appeared previously in two Tom Ford campaigns.
Erykah Badu, who has released six studio albums, is already a familiar face in the world of fashion and beauty.
The new, and surprising, Beyonce album sold more than 80,000 copies in three hours, the Daily Mail reports.
Beyonce's fifth album is available on iTunes in an explicit and a family version. The variants hold the top two spots on the iTunes charts. A total of 17 videos and 14 songs are included on the eponymous album, which will be available in stores on December 21. Most of the videos were shot outdoors during the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.
Does anyone ever listen to Beyonce without watching the accompanying videos? Would her fans buy an album sans sound? Don't just shake it if you can't take it!
….Once iTunes - Apple's music downloading site - was back up and running, fans were hit with another surprise - Beyonce's 14 new tracks could not be downloaded individually, instead they had to pay $15.99 (£9.80) for the entire album.
Large … large … large! It all adds up when you connect the dots.
Hilton, the world's largest hotel company, issued the largest IPO ever by a hotelier this week, and the stock is soaring, according to a report by USA Today.
This bodes well for Blackstone, the private-equity firm that took Hilton private in 2007, paying $26 billion for its stock. While it appears that the $2.35 billion resulting from the IPO would be a huge loss for Blackstone, whereas it actually has the potential to do the exact opposite, as the IPO represents less than 12% of the total 117.6 million shares in this offering.
….At the current trading price, that puts a more than $21 billion valuation on the hotel operator. When you add in the fact that Hilton still has about $15 billion in outstanding debt from Blackstone's buyout, Blackstone has made an almost-unprecedented paper profit on the IPO, with Bloomberg estimating the private-equity firm's take at $8.5 billion.
While the development of virtual reality looms, the work being done by firms strident on bringing this vision to fruition is gaining momentum.
The Verge reports that one such developer, Oculus, received an additional $75 million to further advance the Oculus Rift headset. Based on the enthusiastic view expressed by the writer Sean Hollister, "THEY HAVE REALLY NAILED THOSE THINGS," it would appear that more good news is on the horizon.
So far, the startup has received a total of $91 million without even making a sale. The future looks bright to say the least.
…."Virtual reality has been a long standing dream in tech and sci-fi. To me it always felt kind of inevitable but it was one of those things, you never knew quite when it would become a reality," Dixon tells The Verge. He was impressed with the first developer kit he saw last year, but not enough to invest. Now, however, he says that Oculus has achieved what he was looking for. "
The shoes worn by basketball legend Michael Jordan on June 16, 1997, during the NBA Finals game between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz, sold via auction for $104,765 on Thursday, per several reports making the rounds.
That game was dubbed the "flu game," as Jordan led the Bulls to a 90-88 victory despite being noticeably ill throughout the contest. After the game, Jordan gave the game-worn shoes to Preston Truman, a former ball boy that worked for the Utah Jazz.
The sports collectibles auction house, Gray Flannel Auctions, said that there was strong interest in Jordan's shoes and other sports memorabilia sold at the auction.
…."I just didn't see the point to something so cool and a part of NBA history sitting at my bank anymore," Truman told the sports network ESPN.

Shawn Michaels recently spoke about his retirement, here are the highlights…
"I miss being in the ring. But I enjoy my 'new' life, too." His "new life" is being a full-time dad spending time with his family and hunting.
The way I look at it, I'm making up for lost time when it comes to my hunting. I didn't get started until relatively late in my life. But I am making up for it,"

Kostas Papanikolaou: "Dwight Howard likes to talk a lot as a way to bring the team together and so that nobody feels on the side. He jokes with everybody and tries to bring everybody closer. But as soon as we step on the court, this guy is like transforming into a different Dwight." RAC 1
David Aladridge: You had a couple of years left on your Barcelona deal. What made you think this was the right time to come over? Kostas Papanikoulau: First of all, what I saw, was the team showed to me that they really wanted me to come here, and they really want to give me this chance, was a big factor. I talk with Daryl, I talk with Coach McHale. That kind of make a player feel like they really want me, you know? After this offer, I would say I will be like, pardon the expression, I will be like a fool if I don't take this offer. And also, I don't want to miss this opportunity, and five years [later] go back and say 'why didn't I go back then, when I could?' Because you don't know. You don't get these chances every day...great players had the opportunity, and they never did it. It was a life dream for me, and I wanted to give it a shot, you know? I don't know if I'm going to be good for this league or not, but at least when I go through my career, I will say, at least I gave it a chance. At least I fought for it. I didn't make it, or I made it. I don't know. NBA.com
Rockets big men in foul trouble, coach Kevin McHale moved Kostas Papanikolaou to power forward for several possessions until Pelicans coach Monty Williams countered with John Salmons in a smaller lineup. That likely will not be the last time Papanikolaou, who started at shooting guard with James Harden out, works as a "stretch four." "We're going to probably have to do some of that," McHale said. That would be fine with Papanikolaou. "I'm here to play and help my team," Papanikolaou said. "If that means play like a stretch four, that means I'll play like a stretch four. I want to do the best for my team, what my coaches ask me to do. And my team wants to get the wins every night out." Houston Chronicle
Jenny Dial Creech: Rockets' Kostas Papanikolaou was a little starstruck when Hakeem Olajuwon walked into camp today: "When I saw him walk in, I was really like wow. You can't see these things in Europe." Twitter @jennydialcreech

Eric Pincus: Like Kostas Papanikolaou - Rockets signed Francisco Garcia again yesterday - 1st contract didn't take (likely missed physicaly) Twitter @EricPincus
Kostas Papanikolaou: A few hours later I watched my first NFL game, with the Texans hosting the Bills. There I met, Spero Dedes, another fellow Greek that is very successful on TV, as a play-by-play announcer on the CBS network. We met for few minutes, during halftime, and he is an exceptional guy. They even let me watch them while they were broadcasting the game live on TV. It was a great experience. I will meet with Spero again, when I will be in Los Angeles for the opening night game against the Lakers. NBA.com
Papanikolaou is expected to sign next week once his buyout makes its way through the FIBA approval process. Drafted by the Knicks in 2012, the Rockets acquired his rights in the space-clearing deal that sent Thomas Robinson to Portland in 2013. He is expected to compete for playing time off the bench, likely at small forward initially (though at 6-9, he could get time in the stretch four role Omri Casspi played last season). But the Rockets cite his room to grow as much as how far he has already come. Houston Chronicle

Interesting story on NPR. NPR says no media outlet is mentioning the double homicide or his conviction for obstruction of justice. The whitewash is complete.
I for one, and evidently many others, will not pass judgement when we have nothing to base it on.
Here is what we appear to know for sure. 2 men died of stab wounds. Ray Lewis and some of his friends were in the vicinity. Ray Lewis pled guilty to a misdemeanor of obstruction of justice for giving police a false statement.
You say 2 men died under his watch, that is a leap of faith most people do not seem ready to make.
I think my fans, I think my city, they deserve it. They deserve that whenever this road stops, for me not just to walk away and be like, 'I'm done.' I think we all get to enjoy what Sunday will feel like knowing that this will be the last time 52 plays in a uniform in Ravens' stadium."
for some reason this part rubs me the wrong way. "The fans deserve one more chance to celebrate me."
I was glad to see a major media outlet finally cover the double homicide he was involved in. The one he never apologizes for. The one over which he apparently has no remorse.
Said Lewis: "You want to talk to me about something that happened 13 years ago right now?"
"His attitude during the deposition and everything wasn't that great," Katheryn Smith says of Lewis. "He disappointed me in the things he said. But I decided I wasn't the one (to judge). You have to leave that up to God, you know? He was there when it happened. I think they all got off fairly easy, but I don't have any hard feelings. I think he had a bad choice of friends."

Thanks for posting... If you can wait, it may go lower... See attached picture of recent tracking history from CCC in March, 2013 when it was under $100.
I remember that...I missed it that time. In the end I ended up paying a little bit more which was ok considering other brands were minimum $300 for the same features.
I ended up buying this [amazon.com] when this Onkyo was at same price. Was little confused between these 2, then finally bought Yamaha as it supports Airplay, 3D and 4K pass through...
I wonder if these have the bad cap issue?
Long Story
My Onkyo SR-607(? not home right now) has started to do weird things on the HDMI section, audio is fine but sometimes the picture turns purple, looks like it has the matrix running through it. Changed cables, tested A/B with a mini hdmi switch, etc all equipment on a power conditioner so it's definitely the Onkyo. Looked it up on AVS Forum and there's a whole thread on how to de-solder the caps and resolder them when the HDMI starting doing random things mostly related to heat. I keep my Onkyo in an open stand, nothing sitting directly on top of it, about four inches of space until the next shelf. The replacement caps look to be between 5 to 15 depending on model and my extended warranty ran out Dec 2012 so it's either mess with de-solder/re-solder or buy something new.

$88.95 - XBOX 360 Arcade 4gb console w/ 2 games
I'm in the market for a new receiver. I bought one last year that was stereo only, because I mainly use it for music. However, now with the Chromecast and my Roku having issues with component cables, my stereo only system is becoming useless - poor foresight. I'm afraid of the Onkyo HDMI issues though, if the price was closer to $100 I would probably buy.
ive had great experience with my onkyo (HT5400 i bought from outlet-refurbished, had it for quite a while without problems, though initial setup was a bitch cuz its PC connection simply dont work) but they usually have scary reviews across other lines. so i dont know if i was lucky or if they actually fix all the issues with refurbs. but i would be hesitant to buy another one with them reviews.
do you eat poop?
I like to swim in it
I bet one of these is the one I returned. This thing was a piece of junk. The hdmi handshake has major issues. Even with the latest hdmi cables (I bought new ones thinking mine were out of date) this thing would be seconds out of sync all the time.
Total garbage. Has soured me on Onkyo products. Won't be buying one of them again.
I would recommend that you stay away from yamaha VX-673. I have had nothing but problems with the HDMI switching and handshake with yamaha receivers. It appears that the Denon receivers have the best design as far as HDMI pass through and switching is concerned.
Was about to jump the gun on this, but I truly just want a full setup with speakers, 5.1 ok.
I do like the airplay feature in some and the 4K (so I don't need to tinker w/this a year from now). - Any options any of you may know of ?? <TiA>
I saw a decent Samsung 3D BlueRay 5.1 set, sub-$200 at Fry's, but OOS...
Not looking to knock the walls down w/sound/power..
That's what my car system's for
Onkyo sells a lot more receivers than any other brand hence why a lot of the problems are well known. Most other brands have the same issues just read the reviews.

Easy Countdown Widget

This widget is nice regarding two aspects that can be combined in one sentence: minimal graphical progress bar that updates (probably) at most automatically once a day. Many widgets don't provide a graphical clue of progress (i.e. they provide only numbers: days, hours, etc). If (depending on your task) you are not concerned to get out the minutes remaining every time you pull out your phone, this

Won't update the time left on the countdown (Motorola Triumph). Have to manually refresh the widget. Great visual design. But need accurate time tracking.

You may have seen recent headlines about the Federal Housing Administration needing a taxpayer "bailout" by the Treasury and wondered: Is the FHA heading down the fiscal drain like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have required billions in federal assistance just to stay in business?
The good news answer for FHA's traditional borrowers — who are primarily moderate-income, first-time purchasers, people with limited cash for down payments and less-than-perfect credit histories — is no. There is a strong possibility that FHA will not require any money transfer from the Treasury, which in any event would not occur until next September.
Meanwhile, FHA is making tweaks to its program rules that could affect some loan applicants in the months ahead, and which are designed to improve revenue flows to the agency and cut back on losses.
Among the most immediate changes, new borrowers early next year are likely to be charged slightly higher annual mortgage insurance premiums — 1.35 percent of the loan balance rather than 1.25 percent at present. On loans above $625,500 in high-cost areas such as California and metropolitan Washington, D.C., the annual premium will go from 1.5 percent to 1.6 percent. This will not be a major problem for most people, but it could cause some buyers to check out FHA's competitors — private mortgage insurers whose monthly premiums on loans for applicants with high credit scores may be more attractive than FHA's.
To increase revenue streams long term, FHA is also abandoning its practice of allowing borrowers to cancel their annual mortgage insurance premium payments when their loan balance drops to 78 percent of the property value. In effect, this will mean that borrowers obtaining 30-year FHA loans could be paying premiums for decades.
Is this a big deal? Clem Ziroli Jr., president of First Mortgage in Ontario, Calif., thinks it could encourage some higher credit quality borrowers to "refi out" of their FHA loans and seek better deals in the conventional marketplace. But Paul E. Skeens, president of Colonial Mortgage Group in Waldorf, Md., sees it differently: With fixed 30-year mortgage rates in the mid- to upper 3 percent range and virtually certain to increase — maybe significantly if the economy improves in the coming years — "everybody is going to want to keep these loans forever," he predicts. "They're not going to want to refi."
Other changes on the FHA horizon:
• More financial counseling for applicants who have low FICO credit scores, are purchasing their first homes, and are seeking to make minimum 3.5 percent down payments.
• A new short-sale program that reaches out to existing FHA homeowners who are seriously delinquent and heading toward foreclosure. FHA Acting Commissioner Carol J. Galante said the agency plans to streamline the short-sale option — where owners are permitted to sell their house for less than the balance on the mortgage — in order to avoid the huge costs of foreclosures.
• Structural alterations to FHA's reverse mortgage program, which allows senior homeowners to withdraw funds based on the equity in their properties. The program dominates the industry and accounts for the vast majority of outstanding reverse loans in the country, but has produced inordinate losses to the FHA insurance fund because of home-value declines and the failure of some borrowers to make their property tax and insurance payments, thereby triggering foreclosures. Though few details are yet available and Congress would have to approve any statutory changes, Galante said the agency plans to restrict the amounts that seniors can draw down in a lump sum up front, among other remedial actions next year.

Think we may have a new "most bizarre terror threat"
- By Kayvan FarzanehKayvan Farzaneh is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
We thought we had covered it all when we published "The World's Most Bizarre Terrorist Threats" in January. Little did we know that World of Warcraft and smoke detectors would soon be one-upped:
Female homicide bombers are being fitted with exploding breast implants which are almost impossible to detect, British spies have reportedly discovered.
The shocking new Al Qaeda tactic involves radical doctors inserting the explosives in women's breasts during plastic surgery – making them "virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines."
It is believed the doctors have been trained at some of Britain's leading teaching hospitals before returning to their own countries to perform the surgical procedures.
MI5 has also discovered that extremists are inserting the explosives into the buttocks of some male bombers.
"Women suicide bombers recruited by Al Qaeda are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery," Terrorist expert Joseph Farah claims.
Now let's just hope the TSA doesn't add new screening measures to protect against … such threats.
