Angry Kid is not claymation as is usual with Aardman productions, but a combination of pixilation, mask replacement and live action. It is a technique pioneered by Walsh and involves taking a live actor, sitting perfectly still and being moved like a puppet, while masks are replaced, to give the effect of speech and shot frame by frame.
The series is currently shown on digital channel BBC Three and Dave between some shows from 9pm. The series is also show on Teletoon in Canada. Season One and Two have both been released on DVD in the UK, and Australia. All the Angry Kid animations are free to watch and/or download on the Atom Films website. A compilation DVD entitled Aardman's Dark side was also released, and it contains several season 2 episodes and an exclusive episode.
Due to the short length of each episode, Angry Kid has become famous for being downloaded to mobile phones and shown to friends at schools and workplaces.

When that plan fails, he tries poking her with a spider on a stick. However, she remains unfazed.

Don't leave your savings behind
After you changed jobs or retired, you probably packed up personal items and took them with you, from your coffee mug to your paperweight. But what about packing one of the most valuable items—retirement funds?
"Moving retirement funds into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or transferring them into your new employer's plan can make your life easier," says Jason Heffner, senior financial services representative for the Principal Financial Group® in Overland Park, Kan. "It gives you greater convenience and potentially more options and flexibility for managing your retirement savings."
Having fewer accounts also gives you a better overall grasp of your savings and where you stand in relation to retirement. The fewer accounts you have to oversee, the more manageable your overall savings can become.
Your options
You generally have four choices for how to handle the savings in your former employer's retirement plan. You can:
- Roll over the balance into a new employer's plan;
- Roll over your assets into an IRA;
- Leave your savings in the plan; or
- Withdraw the money.
The first two options can offer major advantages.
Reasons to consider a rollover
- You'll save time. Having fewer accounts to keep track of can make it easier for you to make changes, track performance, manage your asset allocation strategy and rebalance retirement funds.
- You'll save money. If you cash out an employer-sponsored retirement plan before age 59½, you're likely to owe a 10 percent IRS penalty. Roll over your funds to an IRA or consolidate them with your new employer's qualified plan, and you can avoid the penalty.
- Your tax advantages will continue. If you cash out you'll owe taxes on your pre-tax contributions as well as your earnings—and 20 percent will be withheld to cover them. But by transferring directly into an IRA or your new employer's plan, no money will be withheld, and your tax-deferred savings will continue until you withdraw money in retirement.
- You'll have greater control. Rolling over retirement funds now can help you avoid being affected by changes your former employer may make to its retirement plan.

It's Good to be Phil GalfondCreated By: Matthew Showell
Ask nine out of ten children what they want in life and they're going to say a slide in their living rooms. The sad thing is that 8.9 out of ten kids' dreams of slides go unfulfilled. Phil Galfond has given hope to children worldwide, however, by installing a slide in his living room.
Maybe his parents used to tell him that the house wasn't a jungle gym and he vowed to prove them wrong. Maybe he needed an escape route from the bedroom and the stairs just didn't cut it.
Whatever the motivation, the result is sheer awesomeness. Some people might argue the aesthetics of having a giant metal tube coming through the ceiling into your living room but I say to them, "Shut up."
Galfond is finally doing something worthwhile with his poker winnings. Watches and cars are all well and good but nothing says, "I've got too much money," like a giant slide built into your living room.
Check out Galfond's blog for a couple more pics of his condo.

That's just because of the angle of that other shot. I have multiple pictures here taken from multiple cameras at multiple different times, all showing the slide.
In fact, it's much more hardcore than it looks in these pics, nearly vertical at the top.
Unfortunately these other pics are in private facebook albums, I don't think it would be just for us to share anything that isn't set to public by the owners.
Call me a doubter, but the pics in the blog don't match up.
The first is a shot from the kitchen area and clearly shows a slide in front of the sofa. In the background is a small table with red chairs.
The second pic is taken from that small table. From this direction, we see a TV in front of the sofa, but no slide.
The reasons were that he couldn't find an apartment big enough that he liked. So he bought apartments that were one on top of the other and connected them via stairs and a slide.
Makes sense to me.
If any of you guys are doubters we've seen pics of girls in the slide in the living room, so there is no photoshop trickery involved.

How much money could Landis get if his whistleblower lawsuit is successful?
Any award to Landis would depend on the amount recovered for the government and whether the Justice Department joins the case. Whistleblowers are entitled to 15 percent to 25 percent of the recovery if the government joins the case and 30 percent if the government doesn't join the case. The precise percentage within those ranges depends on Landis's and his attorneys' contributions to the result.

Several things come to mind this week that I want to share with you.
With the Ohio Achievement Assessments for third-grade reading just completed, many parents of struggling readers may be wondering how the Third Grade Reading Guarantee will affect their child. I urge you to reassure these moms and dads by explaining to them all that your school will do throughout the school year and the summer, if necessary, to get their struggling readers on track. It's understandable that parents could be anxious, and we want them to know that we care about and have a plan for their child's well-being. The Ohio Department of Education's three-minute Third Grade Reading Guarantee video can be a great resource for you, because it explains the intensive help each child will receive and why early reading is so important. On that note, the Ohio Achievement Assessment results we will send to parents will contain a short letter from me also explaining what they can expect and urging them to work with their child's school.
Many good and exciting things are happening in Ohio's public education system right now. Here's a quick round-up:
Thank you for all you do for the boys and girls of Ohio.
Richard A. Ross
Superintendent of Public Instruction

Dr Oz: Meal Makeover Ambush
Doctor Oz continued his Meal Makeover Ambush by heading to Philly with Chef Jose Garces to make a Steak Taco Recipe with a black bean stew, and then on to making a Shrimp Scampi Recipe with Chef Mike Isabella. Dr Oz went incognito has they visited a food truck on the streets. As Philly residents approached the cart to order their lunch, Dr Oz was there to ask them if they really needed the extra cheese on their fattening cheese steak. (That's one way to kill a lunch!)
Chef Jose said he could makeover his famous steak taco using healthy ingredients. Some of his key ingredients were cooked black beans and salsa.

Mike Isabella Shrimp Scampi Recipe
Mike and Dr Oz headed to DC to one family's house to ambush their spaghetti and meatball dinner. (Did you check out those tennis-sized meatballs?) The family's dish had a serving of 4 on a plate for 1. Dr Oz whisked the family back to the studio to have Chef Mike show them how to prepare a healthier alternative.
Mike's tips included using olive oil instead of butter. Mike also didn't use flour, which cuts the calories.
Dr Oz: Shrimp Scampi Recipe
2 lbs peeled and de-veined large shrimp
3 oz extra virgin olive oil
1 lb whole-wheat linguini
1 ½ C dry white wine (alcohol will be cooked out of it)
1/3 C fresh lemon juice
1 C halved cherry tomatoes (sweeter than regular tomatoes)
½ C chicken broth (low sodium, preferred)
1 ½ Tbsp garlic, minced
1 Tbsp basil (fresh and finely chopped)
1Tbsp parsley (fresh and finely chopped)
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
While that's heating, heat extra virgin olive oil in a large sauté pan
Sauté shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side
Move shrimp to another plate and finish cooking remaining shrimp.
Drain excess oil from the pan
Add linguini to the boiling pot of salted water. Cook per instructions.
Drain, rinse under cold water and set aside
To prevent sticking, drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil

Mix in the tomatoes
Add salt and pepper (to taste)

Listed for $33 million, the property comprises three townhouses surrounding a private garden
Famous photographer Annie Leibovitz just put her unique New York City compound on the market. Widely known for her trademark celebrity photos, Leibovitz is looking to move further uptown to be closer to her daughters' school.
Her estate is distinctly different in Big Apple terms as it comprises three separate buildings in the West Village that Leibovitz has purchased over the years. The first two of the three townhouses she bought in 2002 and the third adjoining townhouse was purchased some years later. All three were completely renovated, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The three townhouses surround a private garden. The townhouse that serves as the main residence comprises 4 floors. Another one of the townhouses serves as Leibovitz's studio, with a large workstation and reception area. Overall, total the Greek Revival style property is over 10,200 square feet.
Leibovitz was tangled up in credit issues back in 2009 that involved the townhouses but those issues are now resolved according to the Wall Street Journal.

Since its debut at the Sundance Film Festival early this year, theres been plenty of awards buzz for The Sessions, with stars John Hawkes and Helen Hunt considered a sure bet for Oscar attention.
Standing just outside that spotlight is an up-and-coming actress for whom this movie might be the big break all performers crave. I had no sense in signing on to do (The Sessions) that it would turn into what its become, said Annika Marks, on the phone from her Los Angeles home last month.
In the film, she plays Amanda, a hired caregiver for Berkeley writer Mark OBrien (Hawkes, playing a real-life character), who after childhood polio must spend most of his hours confined to an iron lung. At 38, he longs to lose his virginity, and after his crush on Amanda goes nowhere, he turns to a sex surrogate (Hunt). Its a gentle, funny, unexpectedly touching film OBrien never succumbs to self-pity, and Hunts character finds herself deeply moved by him and a genuine crowd pleaser.
Marks, born in Sweden while her father was attending graduate school there, moved around a bit with her family as a child before settling in Bellevue, Wash. (where her parents still live) when she was 13. She attended Bellevue High and studied dance at Cornish College of the Arts and acting at Seattle Childrens Theater a fantastic place to be young and in the performing arts. Teachers Rita Giomi and Amy Harris, in particular, helped her prepare for an audition for New Yorks Circle in the Square Theatre School, where she was accepted after high school.
After time in New York trying to jump-start a theater career, Marks moved to Los Angeles (theres more theater here than anyone thinks there is) six years ago, and has divided her time between the stage and screen. Her credits include roles in the movie Mona Lisa Smile, the TV series Southland and numerous stage productions.
The audition for The Sessions, in front of writer/director Ben Lewin (himself a polio survivor), was one of many for this working actor, but she landed the part and quickly dove into research. She studied writings by OBrien (who died in 1999), particularly the autobiographical essay on which the film is based, and watched a short documentary about OBrien, Breathing Lessons.
But nothing quite prepared her for the impact of working with Hawkes. The actor, an Oscar nominee for Winters Bone, faced enormous physical challenges: acting with almost no movement, lying on a ball to contort his body as OBriens was, learning to use a mouth-stick to type and dial a phone, losing himself within a character.
It was so extraordinary to be witnessing that type of work. It doesnt seem like its humanly possible, what hes doing, Marks said. I came home from the first day of shooting and said to my fiance, I swear to God, hes going to win an Oscar.
Marks shared in the films Special Jury Award for Ensemble Acting at Sundance, and has since traveled with the film to other festivals. Shes happily noticing that, thanks to The Sessions, more opportunities are coming her way. The tides are definitely shifting, which is incredibly cool and Im really, really grateful for it.
Marks recently tested for her first TV pilot, and has several film and stage projects in the works, but The Sessions will remain a treasured experience.
I struggle with feeling like I really deserve any kind of award for acting, as John and Helen stand alone, but Im really honored to be included in any of it, she said of the Sundance recognition. Im the luckiest actor in the world that I got to do this.

Good news: it's non-football-related Steelers news that doesn't involve Ben Roethlisberger, college coeds or sex in bar bathrooms.
Bad news: it's non-football-related Steelers news that involves 2010 first-round pick Maurkice Pouncey. According to ESPN's Pat Forde, University of Florida officials are investigating possible rules violations that allegedly occurred last December and Pouncey is involved.
Florida is internally investigating what sources described as an allegation that a representative of an agent paid Pouncey $100,000 between the Gators' loss to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game to Alabama and their season-ending Sugar Bowl victory over Cincinnati. Florida apprised the NCAA of the allegation after it became aware of it.
"We were made aware of some information in early June that we reported to law enforcement and we then shared with the NCAA and the SEC," athletic director Jeremy Foley said in a statement released Monday morning to ESPN.com. "At this time we have no information that has indicated that there are any compliance issues for the University of Florida."
So there's that. Obviously, it's not a rape allegation, or getting caught with weed on your person as you drive around Pittsburgh, but it's one more thing that makes you glad training camp is less than two weeks away. And while Pouncey won't face legal (or league, I think) sanctions if he's found guilty, Forde notes that "he could be retroactively ruled ineligible for the game and Florida might have to vacate the victory."
And since I hate Florida Gators football, that punishment seems just. (Although I suspect Tim Tebow and his Powers of Awesomeness will swoop in and make everything alright. Just like old times.)

I disagree with Brenda Howard about how particles of caesium, or any other cation for that matter, are trapped by clay minerals (This Week, 21 November 1998, p 12). And, indeed, whether or not clay minerals play a significant part at all.
In 1979 I was joint author of a paper arguing that anomalous quantities of cations cannot be held by clay minerals for the simple reason that there are a limited number of exchange sites, all of which are competed for fiercely by macro-elements, such as potassium (as Howard rightly points out), as well as magnesium, iron and the like.
Larger ions will displace smaller ones, highly charged ones will displace the lesser charged. One cannot successively plate more ions onto a siteone site, one ion, that is the rule, depending on relative charges.
I also suggested that coprecipitation with iron and manganese was the mechanism by which ...

Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle, by Lucy Cavendish, artwork by Selina Fenech
Blue Angel Publishing, 978-1-922161-37-6, 47 cards with 176 pp. guidebook, 2015
This Faery Oracle started speaking to me the moment I opened it. Card number one was on top, of course, and it was The Three Graces: "Cooperative ventures with friends, joy, sharing, new partnerships that are fun." Two nights before I had met with an old publisher friend of mine, who proposed being part of a new magazine she's launching. And the week before, I had received word that my own oracle deck, Gaia's Vision, which I worked on with another dear friend, is slated for publication in 2016. I have a ball with both of these lovely women, and I expect it will just get better. The card had answered a question I hadn't even asked yet.
I should have known magick would be afoot as soon as I held the cards. This is a Lucy Cavendish deck. Continue reading

Fancy Dress
Quote: "To my surprise the sales lady talked her into hiring the most sexy costume I have ever seen"
The Story...
We were invited to a neighbour's fancy dress party and we had a couple of week's notice so had plenty of time to hire some costumes.
The weekend we went hunting around the fancy dress shops my wife and I were on good terms. We enjoyed trying on the various costumes and didn't have much idea about which ones to have.
My wife Helen is they type of lady that does not like to expose herself and intended to hire a full costume, something that fully covered her body. This in itself is a crime as she has a very good looking body. I mean very sexy long legs and curvy.
To my surprise the sales lady talked her into hiring the most sexy costume I have ever seen. It was very colourful with a gold short skirt and top that showed plenty of cleavage. She was dressed as a lady of the night and I was dressed as a pimp.
The days leading up to the party my wife did nothing but nagged me and she was really tight in bed. I mean she did not want any sex and made various excuses. She was a real pain.
When we went to the party everyone told my wife how good she looked and she was a bit embarrassed so when ever anyone offered her a drink she accepted it hoping it would help her confidence.
She was still nagging me all night and what ever I did was not good enough.
Between the dancing a group of us were chatting and my wife kept making little jibes at me and when the subject got to sex Helen started to make negative references about my ability to satisfy her.
Helen told the group that she thought sex was boring and just let me get on with it and couldn't see the big deal.
She went on and on and I had enough listening to her I walked away to get a drink.
Tom approached me and jokingly said as I was her pimp perhaps he should accept £10 for half an hour of my wife's time. At that point Jim approached and I said if you give me twenty quid you can both have her.
Tom and Jim actually gave me twenty quid and I stuffed it in my pocket and laughed.
As the night went on Helen got drunk and was dancing provokingly with various men and when she danced with Tom she felt giddy.
Tom called over Jim and they said to me they better escort my wife home as she had had enough drink. It was ok with me as now I could party.
Helen agreed and said to Tom and Jim how nice it was to have an escort of men.
When Tom and Jim managed to get Helen into the kitchen they suggested they have a night cap. Helen didn't notice but they didn't have anything to drink and just filled a glass up of gin and got Helen to drink it right down.
Helen was part laughing and part swaying and the men helped her up stairs.
They suggested she put on her nightdress and she agreed.
She didn't seem to realise they were undressing her and she collapsed on the bed. At this point she was almost naked and only had a nightdress and knickers on.
Jim said she won't be needing these and pulled down her knickers.
Tom ripped her nightdress down the middle and asked Helen if she wanted to try a substitute for her husband. Helen muttered something but they couldn't decipher it.
Tom told Helen she was now going to try something better that her husband could offer and it was her lucky night because she could have two for the price of one.
Helen glanced up and saw Tom's cock slide in her mouth. Jim meanwhile was already slipping his huge cock in her cunt. Both pushed their cocks into her slowly and asked her what she thought.
Her eyes started to open and she realised what was going on.
Tom withdrew his cock from her mouth and she said what you think you are doing.
Jim said that as she came to the party dressed like a whore they were only trying out the goods and had paid her pimp good money.
Oh she said as Jim was reaching the right point I better deliver good service then.
Your husband thought you would not want to play.
I'll show him Helen said and demanded both fuck her hard.
Each one took it turns and when thirty minutes was up her husband walked in and couldn't believe what he saw. He told Jim and Tom to get out and they scampered away.
At the sight of his wife naked and well fucked he dropped his jeans and had a hard on ready to perform.
He entered his wife and she performed the best she ever had and they agreed to dress up more in different uniforms in future to spice up their sex life.Read more stories from our Erotic Stories category

Guess what? I'm alive. I know. I'm as shocked as you are.
And of course just as soon as I started to feel better, my website decided to throw a fit and stop working. So although I've tried to post the last two days, I haven't been able to.
Sigh. Just when I thought I'd fulfilled my trilogy of trouble.
But I'm all about the positive vibes right now. You know why? Because these guys are WORLD CHAMPIONS!
I am ecstatic. Absolutely beyond excited. But the boyfriend is by far the happiest I've ever seen him. There are five things in this world that make the boyfriend happy:
- Baseball
- The St. Louis Cardinals
- Beer
- Pizza
- His brother
And Friday was the like the best day of his life because all five came together in the best way possible. Oh yeah, and I was there, too. 😉 As was our very own rally squirrel.
Yes, he's wearing Roosevelt's Cardinals jersey. And yes, he's perched on top of the pumpkins in our window. And yes, he will remain there for a whole year until the Cards win the World Series again.
I'm all about the superstitions these days.
And I've been all about the take-out food since getting sick.
I may be the only person in the history of the world to gain weight while being sick for over a week. What are you going to do? Remember my letter to my Skinny Jeans and the my new goals? Yeah. I realize both had to be postponed due to plauge I caught, but starting tomorrow that hiatus is over.
I know – you'll believe when you see it. Me too.
But I've got a couple of hours unitl Monday, so I plan on resting up, watching the Cardinals parade, and drinking what's left of the amazing tea I got from my October Foodie Pen Pal. More details on that to come later today, so check back!

If you're a serious podcaster, consider purchasing the iRig MIC Cast ($39.99) – a new product that allows users to record podcasts on-the-go from an iDevice, as TUAW reports.
We first heard about the product at CES '12 before the accessory was released, but now the iRig MIC Cast is available to purchase. As you can see in the above product image, the accessory clips into an iDevice's audio jack, and features a compact microphone that can be used to record interviews, lectures and voice memos, as well as podcasts. Despite its size, the product promises to minimize background noise, and to produce clear, quality recordings.
TUAW notes that the size of the product is impressive, with the iRig MIC Cast being only slightly bigger than a U.S. quarter. After taking the product for a spin, the website offers a series of pros and declares the accessory to be an excellent on-the-go, iDevice-compaible microphone:
- Tiny and lightweight, easily pocketable
- Gain is adjustable for nearby and far away sources
- Earphone jack for monitoring your recording sessions
- Comes with free voice recording apps and a tabletop stand
- Affordably priced
- Very good sound quality
The only downside, TUAW points out, is that the impressive size of the microphone makes it easy to lose – so if you do purchase one, be sure to take extra special care of it!
Besides offering the microphone, the product's manufacturer – IK Multimedia – also offers two applications to iDevice owners who purchase the accessory: iRig Recorder FREE and VocaLive FREE. However, the microphone would also be compatible with other iOS apps too, if you already own any that are suitable.
For more information on the iRig MIC Case, and for the option of purchasing the accessory, head over to the product's official website. As mentioned, the microphone is available for the price of $39.99.
