- Which is not a wild animal?
The game has three game modes:
- 10 Questions mode: the game presents a set of 10 questions carefully selected to bring together food questions, animal house questions, wild and tame animal questions. Results are shown at the end, maximum score is 100 points.

An adult is still needed to guide the child though the game and explain to him/her what differences are between certain foods or items.
Each animal has more "good" foods from where to choose so each question is unique. The position of the correct answer is also randomly chosen so the child cannot learn it's position and cheat the game.

New MVVM Tutorial
With the increased importance of XAML in Windows 8, I have decided to update my tutorial on the Model View View-Model pattern. As I said in my original MVVM tutorial, I finally understand the pattern well enough to make some intelligent comments about its use.
The tutorial begins by contrasting the traditional "code behind" approach with the MVVM approach and provides motivation for using the MVVM pattern. The tutorial uses a Silverlight client as the demonstration application. We start by building a simple view model that downloads data from a RIA Data Service and exposes the collection of data to the UI. We then add CRUD (minus the update) functionality to the application and show how our view model handles these requirements.
The tutorial uses Visual Studio 11 beta and Visual Basic. If any changes are needed after VS 11 is released, I will update the tutorial appropriately.
When the tutorial is complete, a simple functioning application is created using the MVVM pattern and zero lines of code behind.
New Website Design
I have just launched a new web design for myVBProf.com. The new site is HTML based and uses some HTML 5 features. I have tested it with current releases of the major browsers and have not encountered any issues.
New videos will be published on the new site and will focus on Visual Studio 11 (or whatever it will be called) and Windows 8. The new site has a link to the old site where all current videos still live.
When a new tutorial is published that updates an existing tutorial, the link to the one being replaced will be deleted.

Free ebook – Secrets of PowerShell Remoting
You wouldn't have had to read too much of this blog to know that I've regularly recommended PowerShell books by Don Jones and Tobias Weltner. They've announced the availability of a new free ebook that they've co-authored, called Secrets of PowerShell Remoting.
Remoting is one of the most powerful features of PowerShell, but it's not necessarily the simplest area to understand. In Windows Server 2012, PowerShell remoting is enabled by default, so now is a good time to get up to speed.
Head over to powershellbooks.com for the download links.
Dispose Pattern and "Set large fields to null"
I was involved in a short side discussion about "should" fields be set to null in the Dispose method(s). I'm not sure what the impetus of the question was; but, if you read through the dispose pattern MSDN documentation (in most versions I believe) there's a comment // Set large fields to null. in the implementation of the virtual Dispose method within the if(!disposed) block and after the if(disposing) block. But, that's the only reference to setting fields to null during dispose. There's nothing else that I've been able to find in MSDN with regard to setting fields to null.
At face value, setting a field to null means that the referenced object is now unrooted from the class that owns the field and, if that was the last root of that reference, the Garbage Collector (GC) is now free to release the memory used by the object that was referenced by that field. Although advanced, this seems all very academic because the amount of time between unrooting the reference and the return from Dispose (and thus the unrooting of the parent object) would seem like a very short amount of time. Even if the amount of time between these two actions is small, setting a single field to null (i.e. a single assignment) seems like such a minor bit of code to provide no adverse affects. The prevalent opinion seems to be that the GC "handles" this case and does what is best for you without setting the field to null.
The GC is pretty smart. There's a lot of bright people who have worked on the GC over the years; and it improves every release of .NET. But, that doesn't answer the question; is there benefit to setting a field to null in the Dispose method? Considering there isn't much guidance on the topic; I'd though I'd set aside any faith I have in the GC and throw some science at the problem: take my theory, create some experiments, make observations, and collect some evidence.
What I did was to create two classes, identical except that the Dispose method doesn't set a reference field to null. The classes contain an field that could reference a "large" or "small" object: I would experiment with large objects and small objects and observe the differences. The following are the classes:
public class First : IDisposable { int[] arr = new int[Constants.ArraySize]; public int[] GetArray() { return arr; } public void Dispose() { arr = null; } } public class Second : IDisposable { int[] arr = new int[Constants.ArraySize]; public int[] GetArray() { return arr; } public void Dispose() { } }
I would vary Constants.ArraySize constant to make the arr reference a "large" object or a "small" object. I then created a loop that created several thousand instances of one of these classes then forced a garbage collection at the end; keeping track of the start time and the end time via Stopwatch:
public class Program { private const int Iterations = 10000; static void Main(string[] args) { var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew(); for (int i = 0; i < Iterations; ++i) { using (var f = new First()) { ConsumeValue(f.GetArray().Length); } } GC.Collect(); stopwatch.Stop(); Trace.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} {1}", stopwatch.Elapsed, stopwatch.ElapsedTicks)); stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew(); for (int i = 0; i < Iterations; ++i) { using (var s = new Second()) { ConsumeValue(s.GetArray().Length); } } GC.Collect(); stopwatch.Stop(); Trace.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} {1}", stopwatch.Elapsed, stopwatch.ElapsedTicks)); } static void ConsumeValue(int x) { } }
I wanted to make sure instanced got optimized away so the GetArray method makes sure the arr field sticks around and the ConsumeValue makes sure the First/Second instances stick around (more a knit-picker circumvention measure :). Results are the 2nd result from running the application 2 times.
As it turns out, the results were very interesting (at least to me :). The results are as follows:

For the most part, results in debug mode are meaningless. There's no point in making design/coding decisions based on perceived benefits in debug mode; so, I don't the results other than to document them above.
The numbers could go either way, if we look at percentages; release mode, setting a field to null seems to be slower 50% of the time and faster 50% of the time. When setting a field to null is faster it's insignificantly faster (5.41%, 9.59%, and 4.28% faster) when it's slower it's insignificantly slower but more slow than it is fast (133.68%, 163.52%, and 107.84% slower). Neither seems to make a whole lot of difference (like 10281 ticks over 10000 iterations in the biggest difference for about 1 tick per iteration—1000 byte array at 10000 iterations). If we look at just the time values, we start to see that setting a field starts to approach being faster (when it's slower it's slower by 295, 8396, and 6697 ticks; when it's faster it's faster by 8664, 10281, 4490). Oddly though, setting "large" fields to null isn't the biggest of faster setting field to null values. But, of course, I don't know what the documentation means by "large"; it could be large-heap objects or some other arbitrary size.
Of course there's other variables that could affect things here that I haven't accounted for (server GC, client GC, GC not occurring at specific time, better sample size, better sample range, etc.); so, take the results with a grain of salt.
What should you do with this evidence? It's up to you. I suggest not taking it as gospel and making a decision that is best for you own code based on experimentation and gathered metrics in the circumstances unique to your application and its usage.. i.e. setting a field to null in Dispose is neither bad nor good in the general case.
Thoughts on the new Skydrive
I have swapped to the new version of Microsoft Skydrive, replacing my old Mesh setup. It is a nice slick experience, allowing easy viewing of files on Skydrive from Windows and WP7. However, I do have couple of issues
- I used Mesh to sync photos from my Window 7 Media Center up to cloud storage as a backup, don't want to loose all the family photos due to a disk failure. This was simple with Mesh, just set up a sync. This is not so easy with the new Skydrive, which appears only as a folder in your user area. The only solution I can spot is to copy my photos into this folder e.g. xcopy d:photos c:usersrichardskydrivephotos. Once the copy is done this will be synced up to the cloud. With mesh if I added a file to my PC it sync'd without me doing anything, now I need to remember the xcopy (or whatever sync copy tool I am using), or have the copy being run on a regular basis via a timer.
- Letting Skydrive start automatically on a laptop Windows PC is dangerous. I was on site today using my Mifi and in about 10 minutes used a whole days credit. So I would recommend changing your tool tray setting to make sure you can see the Skydrive icon all the time, so you have a chance see when it is syncing and can stop it when on a connection that cost you money.
So any comments, or better ways to do the sync?

SOCA & FBI seize 36 Criminal Credit Card Stores
Today the Serious & Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) in the UK announced the completion of a joint operation targeting 36 criminal websites dealing with stolen credit card and online bank account information. The April 26th Press Release indicates that the operation targeted a particular type of e-commerce platform known as an Automated Vending Cart, or AVC. Here's an advertisement from one of the sites, CVVPlaza.com:
The seized domains are now redirected to a website controlled by the FBI which reads:
The United States Government has seized this domain name pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia under the authority of 18 U.S.C. §§ 981(a)(1)(A) & (b)(2). A United States Magistrate Judge issued that seizure warrant after finding that a sworn affidavit established probable cause that this domain name was personal property involved in a transaction or attempted transaction in violation of section 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(2)(A) & (h)
If you registered this domain name, or otherwise claim an ownership interest in this domain name, you should consult an attorney about your rights.
SOCA has requested that we not provide a full list of the domain names at this time, but two which they have revealed in their own products are "cvvplaza.com" and "ccstore.biz". The others will be added once permission is received.
Some of the screenshots provided by SOCA include:
a site offering an inventory of more than 37,000 confirmed credit cards:
and a fairly nice "search screen:
SOCA has recovered more than 2.5 million card numbers or credentials that they say would have granted the criminals access to more than ÂŁ500 million (about $809 million US Dollars!) These were NOT the value of the cards currently available for sale in these card shops, but rather the value of the cards that have been recovered from criminals who purchased the cards from these card shops. The total inventory is expected to be much higher. SOCA is leading the way in international cooperation. In this case they worked with the BKA in Germany, the KLPD in the Netherlands, the Ukraine Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Australian Federal Police, the Romanian National Police and of course the FBI in the United States. These recoveries took place over the course of the past two years. The operator of at least one of these AVC stores was arrested in Macedonia by the Macedonian Ministry of the Interior's Cyber Crime Unit. Some online card shops have very simplistic interfaces, such as this: while others have extremely beautiful websites. Check out the login page for this site: Our friend Dancho Danchev has written extensively about the online carding markets, for example in his article: Exposing Market for Stolen Credit Cards. Brian Krebs has also written extensively on the topic with articles such as How much is your identity worth?
My Favorite Passwords of the Month
Okay so I deal with passwords quite a bit and people tend to eagerly share their passwords with me way more than they should. And although most passwords I come across are pretty weak, I do sometimes come across some true greats, either for their strength, originality, or memorability. Here are some of my favorites […]
Directions EMEA day 1
Ok, it is late and I am tired. But I will pack the day into few sentences:
- Page preview in page designer – interactive preview of the page directly in C/SIDE, clicking on the object in the page select the corresponding line in the designer or you can open properties for the object (action/field)
- "Find" function is back – you can again instantly search for specific data in the actual column
- Variable filters – when filtering in the RTC, you can use "variables" like "%mycust", which will be "expanded" to e.g. "10000|20000|300000" based on your customer selection. This replacement and expansion is handled with special codeunit in NAV, thus you can add own variables (some other default are already there like "%today"). Saving view with this variable in filter will save the filter including the variable, thus by changing the data will have effect to the saved view (each time when opening the view the variable is replaced with the values)
- New tool to quickly setup the new company (something like RIM). Partners could add own packages, which will add new settings.
- Cloud-RTC-debugger — all is working together.
- Query and OData – new way how to get the data from NAV to outside and consume them, e.g. in PowerPivot. Query generate complex SELECT statement on SQL with possible JOINS, GROUP BY and preselected set of fields. This could be consumed through OData protocol (something like RSS feed) which could be filtered.
- New version of NAV should be released ONCE per YEAR! – partners needs really think about this and how to keep all customers up-to-date!
And short list from Waldo's presentation:
- Remote Desktop Manager
- smtp4dev (www.nav-magno.be)
- Codegenius
- Mantis bug tracker
- iFacto Revision
Ok, going into bed. Regarding details, I think more blog articles are needed, but right now, I still do not know how deeply I can go and not hit the NDA… you need to wait for the correct time.
"Virtual method call from constructor" What Could Go Wrong?
If you've used any sort of static analysis on source code you may have seen a message like "Virtual method call from constructor". In FxCop/Visual-Studio-Code-Analysis it's CA2214 "Do not call overridable methods in constructors". It's "syntactically correct"; some devs have said "what could go wrong with that". I've seen this problem in so many places, I'm compelled to write this post.
I won't get into one of my many pet peeves about ignoring messages like that and not educating yourself about ticking time bombs and continuing in ignorant bliss; but, I will try to make it more clear and hopefully shine some light on this particular class of warnings that arguably should never have made it into object-oriented languages.
Let's have a look at a simple, but safe, example of virtual overrides:
public class BaseClass { public BaseClass() { } protected virtual void ChangeState() { // do nothing in base TODO: consider abstract } public void DoSomething() { ChangeState(); } } public class DerivedClass : BaseClass { private int value = 42; private readonly int seed = 13; public DerivedClass() { } public int Value { get { return value; } } protected override void ChangeState() { value = new Random(seed).Next(); } }
With a unit test like this:
[TestMethod] public void ChangeStateTest() { DerivedClass target = new DerivedClass(13); target.DoSomething(); Assert.AreEqual(1111907664, target.Value); }
A silly example that has a virtual method that is used within a public method of the base class. Let's look at how we might evolve this code into something that causes a problem.
Let's say that given what we have now, we wanted our derived class to be "initialized" with what ChangeState does (naïvely: it's there, it does what we want, and we want to "reuse" it in the constructor); so, we modify BaseClass to do this:
public class BaseClass { public BaseClass() { DoSomething(); } protected virtual void ChangeState() { // do nothing in base TODO: consider abstract } private void DoSomething() { ChangeState(); } } public class DerivedClass : BaseClass { private int value = 42; private readonly int seed = 13; public DerivedClass() { } public int Value { get { return value; } } protected override void ChangeState() { value = new Random(seed).Next(); } }
and we modify the tests to remove the call to DoSomething, as follows:
[TestMethod] public void ConstructionTest() { DerivedClass target = new DerivedClass(); Assert.AreEqual(1111907664, target.Value); }
…tests still pass, all is good.
But, now we want to refactor our derived class. We realize that seed is really a constant and we can get rid of the value field if we use an auto property; so, we go ahead and modify BaseClass as follows:
public class DerivedClass : BaseClass { private const int seed = 13; public DerivedClass() { Value = 42; } public int Value { get; private set; } protected override void ChangeState() { Value = new Random(seed).Next(); } }
Looks good; but now we having a failing test: Assert.AreEqual failed. Expected:<1111907664>. Actual:<42>.
"Wait, what?" you might be thinking…
What's happening here is that field initializers are executed before the base class constructor is called which, in turn, is called before the derived class constructor body is executed. Since we've effectively changed the initialization of the "field" (now a hidden backing field for the auto-prop) we've switched it from a field initializer to a line in the derived constructor body: trampling all over what the base class constructor did when calling the virtual method. Similar things happen in other OO languages; but, this particular order might be different.
Now, imagine if we didn't have a unit test to catch this; you'd have to run the application through some set of specific scenarios to find this error. Not so much fun.
Unfortunately, the only real solution to this is to not make virtual method calls from your base constructor. One solution to this is to separate the invocation of ChangeState from the invocation of the constructor. One way is basically reverting back to what we started with and adding a call to ChangeState in the same code that invokes the constructor. Without reverting our refactoring, we can change BaseClass to what it was before and invoke the DoSomething method in the test, resulting in the following code:
public class BaseClass { public BaseClass() { } protected virtual void ChangeState() { // do nothing in base TODO: consider abstract } public void DoSomething() { ChangeState(); } } public class DerivedClass : BaseClass { private const int seed = 13; public DerivedClass() { Value = 42; } public int Value { get; private set; } protected override void ChangeState() { Value = new Random(seed).Next(); } }
[TestMethod] public void ChangeStateTest() { DerivedClass target = new DerivedClass(); target.DoSomething(); Assert.AreEqual(1111907664, target.Value); }
Issues with virtual member invocations from a constructor are very subtle; if you're using Code Analysis, I recommend not disabling CA2214 and promoting it to and error. Oh, and write unit tests so you can catch these things as quickly as possible.

If not plugged in my hands tend to sweat in these gloves, but if you plug them in your hands will stay warm. Not happy with the size of the gauntlet, it is difficult to get it over the plug and the sleeve of your coat. Kathleen - May 14, 2014 (Palos Hills, IL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Heated Gloves As always, they work great. Hello 15 degree weather. L. Woosley - April 19, 2014 (Edmond, OK, OK) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Did Not Work for Me My only heated gear has been a first gen Tourmaster Synergy jacket. Compared to its heat output, these gloves are totally uninspiring. But these gloves are rated at the same wattage as the other 12v heated gloves, so that is what it is. The thing that led me to return the gloves however was the wrist strap. I barely have a 6" wrist, around the wrist bones. At the straps tightest, I could pull the glove off. From a protection standpoint, I want gloves that will stay on. Keep this in mind if you have really skinny arms. Kenny - March 21, 2014 (Lynchburg, TN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Heated gloves Love them!!! My motorcycle has a fairing and windshield, but my hands are left out in the wind when I ride. I got the gloves, Heat-troller, and Y-adapter and have yet to find my new minimum riding temperature. All I have determined so far is that 25*F is fine riding weather. Jason - March 07, 2014 (Paragould, AR) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Excellent gear Excellent heated gloves. No where does it tell you that you also need to buy the Y-harness. Disappointed I had to wait the extra couple of weeks to get the Y-harness so I could use the gloves. Web site designers.....sheesh. Pete - February 10, 2014 (Conowingo, MD) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great Gloves I have had other heated gloves but they failed to keep my thumbs warm. These gloves do the trick. Brandon - February 10, 2014 (Eugene,, OR) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit First Gear Heated Gloves The gloves are good leather. Make sure you order the next size up. I use mine with my Tourmaster heated jacket. It will works hooked to the arm wires or run a seperate v wire from the senergy dual control. And turn them on the amount of heat you want. The gloves get event warmer. Best buy I have found in heated gloves and really warm. Larry - February 10, 2014 (Chattanooga, TN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great winter gloves Warm even without the heat. With the heat they are cozy as can be down below 20 degrees at interstate speeds for hours. Ordered by the size chart and they fit perfectly. Clyde - January 20, 2014 (Hays, NC) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good gloves - mediocre heat This was the first and only pair of heated gloves that I have bought. They keep my hands warm down to about 30 degrees. They never really get hot though - probably lukewarm at best. I hear that all heated gloves are like this. It was kind of disappointing, being that my firstgear 90 watt jacket can damn near fry an egg at full power. Jeremiah - December 12, 2013 (Estes Park, CO) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Worth the money Heat up nicely. Good pairing with the heated liner jacket. L R - December 03, 2013 (Gainesville, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit awesome fit and warmth! great gear! larry - December 03, 2013 (gainesville, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Heated Gloves The order was shipped quickly. The gloves fit a little tight but I have noticed in the past that they will loosen up with use. You want them a little tight to get good heat transfer. I have already used them and they work well. This is my second pair, the first pair lasted 6 years, which is pretty good because I ride every day all year. I wear the winter gloves about 5 months of the year.

The location is nice, right at sundance square. We liked the salad selections, the Mediterranean cheese, the scallops, shrimp, and bacon wrapped tenderloins. I think the waitress said she would refill the dessert tray but we didn't even eat everything that was on it. It was very good food.
I wouldn't go back without a voucher because of the price and I didn't realize how long it took to cook everything but it was definitely a good experience and we enjoyed laughing at ourselves. The food was very good and they give you good portions, we didn't leave feeling sick to our stomachs from overeating and we had some leftover pieces. The craft beer and martini selection is good too!

One of the things I still miss about living in Sydney is being able to visit the fish markets.
When we were in Cooma I used my lack of access to the fish markets as an excuse not to cook fish very often. But to be honest a large part was the reaction my Irishman would have when faced with a steaming plate of salmon or snapper…
Fish for dinner? Really? (with a really unhappy look on his face).
No fun for anyone.
When we moved to our little farm, much closer to fresh fish, we made a deal to try and have fish at least once a week. With no complaints.

Chocolate City which tells the story of a college student who turns to stripping in order to pay the bills hits theaters next weekend on March 19. Clearly, Tyson Beckford enjoyed his stint as a male exotic dancer. The 44-year-old model turned actor just booked a gig with the Chippendales.
"I am really excited to join the Chippendales show in Las Vegas," Beckford tells People. "These guys provide a flirty and sexy yet playful experience for women, and being a part of that party each night just seems like fun."
Beckford is the latest celebrity to guest host the famed male revue. Previous wearers of the iconic bow tie include Ian Ziering, Joe Lawrence and 98 Degrees' Jeff Timmons. Tyson's stint runs from from April 30th to May 24th at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. If you want to see all that tasty chocolate up close and personal, book your trip now.
Speaking of chocolate, check out some footage from the Magic Mike-like film below. Tyson previously said, "Black strip clubs and white strip clubs are totally different." I guess we'll find out when the film is released. It also stars Michael Jai White, Vivica A. Fox and Carmen Electra.
Mean Moms has been in the works since 2013 when New Line Cinema secured the rights to Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads written by Rosaline Wiseman. She's the same author who wrote Queen Bees and Wannabes which would later become the basis for Tina Fey's screenplay for Mean Girls.
The past few days, the film has been on the tip of everyone's tongue thanks to a fake movie poster that went viral on social media. I'm sure you caught a peek at it if you were at all online the past 48 hours.
The faux artwork featured Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock and Cameron Diaz with the tagline, "Too Sassy For You." As it turns out, only one of the stars is actually attached to the project, with the other two only speculation. The studio confirmed that only the former Friends star has signed on.

When I first stumbled upon this, I thought Lena Dunham booked another hosting gig over at Saturday Night Live. Remember the hilarious SNL parody spoofing the ABC drama?
Believe it or not, the Girls actress legitimately scored a guest starring spot on Scandal. I'm sure the 28-year-old self-professed superfan shouted out with glee upon securing the job. Any Gladiator would kill to hang with Olivia Pope for a day.
On March 19, Dunham makes her scandalous debut on the episode titled "It's Good To Be Kink." Her character plans to expose the sex secrets of some of D.C.'s most elite. Enter Olivia to handle things.
Hollywood Reporter obtained exclusive pics of Lena's guest spot. Personally, I can't take them seriously. Just looking at the photos make me chuckle. I keep visualizing the SNL spoof. Check out a couple of pics below, along with the memorable sketch.
Disney's live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast is beginning to shape up. Earlier this year, it was announced that Emma Watson had been tapped to play leading lady Belle. With Watson on board, I'm confident this project will be top notch. She's shown extremely good taste selecting films post Harry Potter.
The Mouse studio is taking a huge risk with this adaptation. Beauty and the Beast became the first animated film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and beloved by so many. Thankfully, they have a stellar team working on it.
Bill Condon (Dreamgirls and The Fifth Estate) directs the Stephen Chbosky-penned script. Watson previously worked with Chbosky on The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Find out below, who's taking on the roles of Gaston and the titular Beast. Let's just say, it's an all UK affair.
With the success of black-ish and other ethnic-centric programming this season, this latest project from the alphabet network is a no-brainer.
When ABC announced its Uncle Buck reboot featuring an all African-American cast, I half expected the network to tap Kenan Thompson to fill John Candy's shoes. Admit it, you thought so too. Alas, someone else will play the titular character. Find out who below.
CBS is keeping it in the superhero family for its DC Comics series, Supergirl. The network has tapped two stars who've previously donned the red cape to appear in the pilot.
Dean Cain played the Man of Steel in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman back in the 90s on ABC. Meanwhile, Helen Slater played Supergirl in the campy 1984 feature film. Coincidentally, both the 48-year-old actor and 51-year-old actress appeared in another Superman spin-off, Smallville on The WB. No word on what roles they are playing.
They join Glee alum Melissa Benoist who plays the female superhero in the new CBS offering. Supergirl is slated to premiere on CBS this fall. Find out who else is starring in the show below and also check out a photo of Benoist and Slater together on set.
Earlier this week, Kelly Osbourne threatened to quit E!'s Fashion Police over dreadlock-gate. Even though Giuliana Rancic apologized to Zendaya for her culturally-insensitive comments and Zendaya accepted her mea culpa, Kelly is still jumping ship.
"I WILL NOT BE DRAGED INTO THIS! The situation is being rectified like ADULTS by both parties. I hope you can leave it to them & do the same," Kelly previously tweeted.
After five years on the panel, the network confirmed that Osbourne quit. Read their official statement below.
Make your reservations now. Mother Monster is ready to check you in.
Apparently, the fifth season of the popular horror anthology is American Horror Story: Hotel. Not only that, but Lady Gaga has snagged a series regular role. The 28-year-old made the announcement in a video teaser via Twitter.
This marks Gaga's biggest acting gig to date. She's previously made minor appearances in such films like Machete Kills, Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For and Men in Black 3.
The "Bad Romance" singer is clearly re-inventing herself these days. From classing it up with Tony Bennett, stunning the entire world with her Oscars performance and now this. It's definitely a far cry from the same woman who once wore a meat dress. Check out the announcement below which could've easily been taken from her Fame era.

Before he was a CGI creation, Jedi master Yoda was a puppet.

And before he brought Yoda to life, puppeteer and voice actor Frank Oz was best known as the man behind Miss Piggy. In a weird way, that makes the most wizened character in the 'Star Wars' universe a distant relative of the extended Muppet family.

PORTLAND — Before Wednesday's blowout win over the Bobcats, Blazers guard Wesley Matthews had gone 10 of 11 games in which he failed to shoot 50 percent from the field. Perhaps more significantly, five times during that stretch -- he didn't shoot better than 30 percent.
Following his 3 for 12 performance vs. Utah Monday night, Matthews was admittedly confounded as to what the problem was, searching for answers without clues to their location. Then, he sent a text.
"I was talking to one of my childhood friends. I sent him a text and told him 'I don't know what the hell is going on,' Matthews said. "He was straight up with me. He said 'you don't look like Wesley out there. Wesley does everything.' And I was like 'you're right.' I'm sitting here focusing on playing defense and running the floor and hitting open shots, but that's not really my game. I do everything -- getting in the passing lanes, deflecting, getting to the free throw line. There are many ways to leave your mark on the game."
This was the very advice Matthews' mother, Pam Moore, bestowed to him during his youth, and she preached that very message once more earlier this week.
Blazers coach Nate McMillan echoed that notion during Wednesday's shootaround, saying that if struggling shooters focus on all the other aspects in which they can impact the game, when it comes time to shoot "they'll just react."
The problem, Matthews said, is that he was already thinking like that.
"The frustrating part is that that's what I was doing," said Matthews, who hit 3 of his 6 shots vs. Charlotte. "I wasn't focusing on missing shots. I was focusing on defense and running and stuff like that, and I was still missing. I mean, it wasn't like I wasn't putting the work in."
But was it possible he was putting too much work in?
Golfers talk about sometimes walking away from the driving range worse then when they started, as negative thoughts pervade their heads to hold their muscle memory hostage. Matthews, meanwhile, was reportedly hoisting shots in the gym two and a half hours before the Tuesday's practice started in hopes of tracking down his touch. Might he be doing himself a disservice?
"I don't know, I don't really believe in that," Matthews said. "If it's a mental thing, seeing it go in lets you know 'I can do this.'"
That said, Matthews knows that if he's not scoring, there will likely be another player supplementing LaMarcus Aldridge's point total. He asserted how this year's team has "so many weapons," mentioning how the likes of Gerald Wallace, Raymond Felton, Jamal Crawford, Nicolas Batum and himself all have the capability of contributing a big night.
When it was suggested that there is no consistent No. 2 scorer on the Blazers, Matthews said a more reliable sidekick will come in time — even if its form is unconventional.
"I feel we have it. We have the potential to have it. We just haven't established it," Matthews said. "It's something we may have to address. Right now, we don't have that established second option -- our second option is the fact that we have five other options. It's not so much a Pau to a Kobe thing, it's more like -- we got LA (Aldridge) and the whole team."

These shoes are great. I am on my feet all day( Surgical Hospital). This is my second pair of this exact same shoe. I have never bought the same kind of shoe twice until now. My first pair lasted 4 years. They probably would have lasted longer but i have a weird gait or something were on the inside , the medial heel wears out on every shoe i ever wear. The price is great from Footwear inc. The delivery was super fast. Love these shoes. They eliminate plantar fasciitis.
I really like the mesh, it goes perfect with my jeans. This style is just a little too small so I had to get the next size up.
Very soft comfortable and yet well supporting feet.
I have owned several pair of these Men's Kimondo shoes and I really like them. I actually wore out one pair while on a 3 month trip to Australia and New Zealand. We did lots and lots of walking and I was wearing them 12 hours a day. I started jogging a few months ago (at age 60) and I have a pair of these shoes that I use only for jogging and they work great. Before I started wearing MBTs in 2008, I had suffered with plantar fasciitis for 12 years and wore various orthotics - but always had pain to various degrees. One month of wearing MBTs and no more foot pain!!!! I also had an ankle replacement in 2006 and MBTs allow me to walk normally. I have recently ordered more Kimondo shoes. Men's athletic MBTs fit me better than women's ones because I have a wider foot. However, I have several pair of women's sandals. Footwear etc has great prices and excellent customer service!
for comfort and overall utility, MBT's are increasingly the only shoe I wear. I liked this model, the fit and feel when doing power walks but they are a bit too flashy for my tastes - the reflective line around the shoe, the toe shield. Having said that, I am very happy with them and the service from Footwear Etc. continues to be customer friendly and seamless.
This shoe is by far the best fitting shoe I have ever had and the feel is great
A very comfortable shoe.

" I visited Footwear etc. in San Carlos, CA for the first time yesterday, and it was a great experience. I had a salesman who proceeded to pull up his little chair to fit me in a pair of Earth comfort pumps with about a 2" heel. When I complained of a couple different pressure points, he stretched the shoes in those area--and the problem was gone! Outstanding service, and a fabulous selection of beautiful styles throughout the store. It's quite a distance from where I live; but I'll make the drive in order to have a selection of marvelous looking comfort shoes. Thank you to Jim Wells for such excellent service."

Dawson's creek. Never watched it. (I just looked him up a second ago on IMDB...was curious)
www.jamesvandermemes.com. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/2fbe5df820/vandermemes
He also had a show starring supporting role as "himself" on Apartment 23.
There is also a great series of clips on fuunyordie.com inc one with him willing to be a "not nice guy" for hire where he is trying to make up for years as being the sensitive Dawson by being a jerk for hire so guys can look better in comparison for their girlfriends.
And with Father's Day approaching what dad won't want a pair of DILF khakis.
His reinvention is along the lines of Neil Patrick Harris. Vanderbeek also has a twitter feed which can be a good read- though I haven't actually read it much.
Don't forget Johnny Moxon in Varsity Blues!
"I don't want...your life"
Another sterling performance by Leake. This guy has come a long way this season. Looks like he's become a lot more consistent in the strike zone. He gives the Reds an awfully good rotation.

I love this dish! It's *always* a hit for company or potlucks. Even my mother -- who professes to hate cilantro -- loves it. I find it needs a longer baking time than the recipe says.
This was a fair amount of work, and I did it the easy way. Instead of fresh herbs, I used 2 tbsp. of dried cilantro and parsley. Since there was less to "process," I was able to mix up the sauce...
