Jim Gaffigan: The TV Squad interview - VIDEOS
He landed his own short-lived sitcom on CBS, thanks to David Letterman, called Welcome to New York and a co-starring role on the hit TBS' dramedy My Boys, which returns for a third season on March 31.
He also racked up a long resume of funny and dramatic roles on hit shows like Sex and the City, Flight of the Conchords, and That 70's Show. He is also one of the few actors to score appearances on all of the Law & Order series if you don't count the spinoff that hardcore L&O cultists are forbidden to say out loud.
I'm dreaming of a Pale Force Christmas
The number of sly references in the three-parter is dazzling as are such jaunty songs as "Not Going to Get Me Down This Year" and "Christmas is the Palest Time of Year." So, move over Scrubs' Charlie Brown Xmas and SNL's "Dick in a Box," the "Pale Force Christmas" episode has entered the favorite holiday viral race.
Conan O'Brien and Jim Gaffigan team up for animated Web series
Comedian Jim Gaffigan's animated shorts, "Pale Force," which he's been showing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien since 2005, are coming to NBC.com/Conan as a series of 90-second webisodes. Starting tomorrow evening, Gaffigan will debut the first part of a two-part episode on Conan that will conclude online the following day. Special online-only episodes will debut on the Late Night Web site every Friday, and Gaffigan will appear on the show once a month to reveal yet another two-parter with the second part appearing online the next day. "Pale Force" is about a hunky super hero played by Jim Gaffigan and his sidekick, Conan O'Brien. The two men fight crime using the power of their pasty white skin. The series is drawn by New Yorker cartoonist Paul Noth. YouTube has a few episodes of the series.

Condition Census 1802 Half Dime1802 H10C XF45 PCGS. V-1, LM-1, R.5. The rarity of the 1802 half dime is well known to collectors of United States coins. Only 35 or so pieces are believed known in all grades. Most, of course, are in low grades and David Davis gives a roster of "The Fourteen Worst 1802 Half Dimes" on page 38 of the Logan-McCloskey half dime reference. There are a surprising number of high grade examples also known of this date, the finest of which is the AU50 Granberg coin that was last sold by Heritage in the 1998 FUN Sale.
David Davis' article is well researched and well worth the time to read, especially if one is interested in bidding on this coin. He has surveyed auction catalogs and found 167 appearances at public auction over a 140-year period, for an average of 1.2 appearances per year. As he points out, the availability of this date has not been uniform. In fact, there were 17 years when only three or four pieces were offered. And there were two nine-year spans, 1894-1903 and 1926-1934, when none were available at auction. This irregular availability is mirrored in Heritage's offerings of this date. We did not handle a single coin between 1976 and 1998. We handle one example of this date for approximately every 100,000 auction lots to appear in our sales. In Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837, Russ Logan and John McCloskey commented: "The 1802 half dime has not only been recognized as the key date in the early half dime series for well over a century, but it is often described as one of the classic rarities of U.S. numismatics." It is also considered to be among the 100 greatest U.S. coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth.
The rarity of the 1802 half dime was recognized almost as soon as coin collecting became popular in the late 1850s. The first coin offered at public auction was in the 1859 sale by Edward Cogan of the J.N.T. Levick Collection, but that piece did not sell. The first actual sale of an 1802 half dime was four years later in the Lilliendahl Collection. That coin, described as in "very good condition" brought $340. In Davis' article (much of which we have obviously cribbed for this description), he points out just how much $340 represented in 1863: The finest known 1794 dollar sold that same year for $285. The price for the Lilliendahl coin stood as a record until Newlin's "Uncirculated" specimen sold for $400 in 1883. As a back-handed compliment to the absolute rarity of this issue, several counterfeits have been manufactured over the years of the 1802 half dime. Both the Smithsonian and the ANA Money Museum have counterfeits in their institutional holdings.
At the XF45 level, this piece is definitely in the upper reaches of the Condition Census for this rarity. The surfaces are lilac overall with golden accents around the devices. For pedigree purposes we note a thin scratch across the cheek of Liberty, and a diagonal one across the horizontal stripes of the shield on the reverse. Irregularly struck, as always, with softness showing on the lower curls of Liberty's hair as well as the corresponding area on the reverse, i.e., stars 2, 3, and 8 above the eagle's head. A rare opportunity for the serious collector of U.S. numismatic rarities.

(ABC 6 News) -- The Rochester Police Department is looking to add a new precinct on the North end of town. We've learned who the police department could be partnering with.
Right now, Rochester Police is leasing a portion of public works building on the north end of town, in order to have a few officers stationed in that side of Rochester.
Officials say it soon won't be enough space. The department is asking the Rochester City Council for a $25,000 study looking at the possibility of a second police precinct on the North end of Rochester. Police say their location, in the government center, is getting cramped and that a second location could lower response times in the north end of the city.
Of course, there's still a lot of what ifs, the city has yet to grant the money for a feasibility study. But one option for a new location, the department is exploring whether to partner with the fire department.
"The fire department has a lot of resources that between police and fire and public safety, we can share. Communication between the two departments is great, the fire department has some facilities that they build in that would be helpful to the police department so there's some cost savings there," said Sgt. Jon Turk, Rochester Police Department.
The City Council asked Rochester Police to bring more information about the feasibility study to their next meeting on Monday.

FACTS & STATS: Site: University Arena (5,421) -- Kalamazoo, Michigan. Television: WMUbroncos.com. Home Record: Oakland 0-0, WMU 1-1. Away Record: Oakland 0-5, WMU 0-1. Neutral Record: Oakland 0-1, WMU 2-0. Conference Record: Oakland 0-0, WMU 0-0. Series Record: Western Michigan leads, 6-2.
GAMES NOTES: The Western Michigan Broncos begin the second half of a four-game homestand on Tuesday with a non-conference clash against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies at University Arena.
The Golden Grizzlies got their first bit of good news of the year four days ago when Duke Mondy was reinstated after a two-game suspension. However, Mondy was still off the court on Sunday when Oakland lost for the sixth time in as many games with a 68-62 setback against St. Francis-Brooklyn. Oakland has not played a single home game this season, but will be at the Athletics Center O'rena for seven of its next eight.
After posting a 2-1 mark during the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu, the Broncos returned to the mainland for a four-game homestand. The first two matchups of were split by the Broncos, who topped Alabama A&M (73-69) before falling to North Dakota State (83-74) last Wednesday.
This is the third straight season these teams have mixed it up on the hardwood. Western Michigan won the first two contests, including a 76-72 victory a year ago, and also leads the all-time series by a count of 6-2.
Travis Bader did everything he could to push Oakland to a win against St. Francis, but even his 30 points could not make up for the lack of offensive execution from the Golden Grizzlies. Oakland hit just 38.2 percent of its shots from the floor in the losing effort.
It is unclear whether Mondy will be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday, but if he is it could be a real boost to Oakland's stagnant offensive attack. Mondy scored 12.2 points per game last year and was also a strong passer (4.4 apg). He was limited against St. Francis with just two points over 21 minutes of play. Being able to score and move the ball is not something the Golden Grizzlies have excelled at this year, averaging only 64.2 points per game on less than 40 percent shooting. Bader (21.5 ppg) is the only reliable scorer on the roster and one of only two players netting 10 or more points per game. Corey Petros (10.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg) is the only other player in double figures as he was on Sunday when he scored 13 points against St. Francis.
Western Michigan allowed 20 points off turnovers and was outscored, 44-32, in the paint in its recent loss to North Dakota State. The Broncos' inability to put up much of a fight on the interior was evident as they allowed their foes to net 58.5 percent of their shots from the field. David Brown did score 27 points in the contest, but he went just 1-of-9 from 3-point range.
Through five games, the Broncos are fighting to break even on both the scoreboard and in the standings. The Broncos own a favorable, albeit slim scoring margin (+0.4) by shooting at a 42.2 percent clip from the field to net just under 70 points per game. Brown (20.8 ppg) provides WMU with a 20-point scorer to rival Oakland's Bader. Brown has scored at least 20 points in three games this year, despite netting just 23.8 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. Shayne Whittington (17.3 ppg, 12.7 rpg) has come on strong in the three games he has played as he is averaging a double-double. Whittington scored 16 points and pulled in nine rebounds the last time out, and Connar Tava (11.6 ppg) brings additional scoring depth to the table.
Until Mondy gets back into a rhythm, the Golden Grizzlies will continue to struggle offensively. That isn't likely to happen tonight on the road.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Western Michigan 68, Oakland 61

American Prints, 1920-1930, from the Collection of The Brooklyn Museum
- Dates: September 18, 1974 through January 19, 1975
- Organizing Department: Prints, Drawings and Photographs
- Collections: American Art
... more
September 16, 1974: American Prints: 1920 - 1930, an exhibition of 77 lithographs, etchings and wood-cuts, will be shown at The Brooklyn Musuem from September 18 through January 19, 1975. Among artists represented are Charles Sheeler, John Sloan, Edward Hopper, Marsden Hartley, Rockwell Kent, George Biddle and Philip Evergood. The works on view were selected from the collection of the Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings by Jo Miller, Curator, and Nancy Tousley, Assistant Curator.
"The history of American art in the early decades of this century, " says Ms. Tousley, "is that of a struggle between an allegience to the high culture of Europe and the desire to create a distinct and authentic American style. Although the Ash Can School (beginning in 1908) rebelled against genteel academicism and embraced a new urban realism which championed democracy and the vitality of popular culture, their revolt was not aesthetic in the European sense of avant-garde. European stylistic influences continued to be pervasive. A major result of the Armory Show of 1913 was to instill a new consciousness of formal and compositional values. During the decade of the twenties, a period of post-war political and cultural isolation for the U. S., attempts were made to integrate the new American spirit of artistic independence without discarding the lessons to be learned from European modernist art."
Reflecting the artistic concerns of the period, subject matter in printmaking was predominately that of the American scene: the force and energy of the growing cities as typified by New York and the power of American industrialism. As seen in the exhibition, Joseph Pennell's etchings and aquatints of the Brooklyn Bridge and Columbia Heights show the European influence of Whistler. Childe Hassam's etchings of New York and East Hampton imbue these familiar scenes with the light effects of the Impressionist painters through arrangements of short, hatched strokes which make full use of the white of his papers. John Sloan's "Buses in Washington Square" and "14th Street, The Wigwam, " show the quick and keen observation of detail learned during Sloan's early training as a newspaper illustrator.
Interest in Cubism, sparked by the Armory Show, is reflected in the experimental, semi-abstract etchings of Arthur B. Davies and, very differently, in John Mann's "Downtown the El" and Charles Sheeler's "Delmonico Building. " Cubist influences can also be seen in "The Brooklyn Bridge" and "Hanover Square" lithographs by Louis Lozowick, Walkowitz's lithograph "New York, " William Zorach's linoleum cut "Johnny Dundee v s. Firpo," and in the small, beautifully colored woodcuts of Max Weber.
Engaging genre scenes of the period abound in the satirical etchings of Peggy Bacon, the lithographs of Glen O. Coleman and Adolph Dehn, and in the proficient etchings of Martin Lewis. Six etchings by Edward Hopper are from the period before 1925 during which, according to Ms. Tousley, "Hopper was producing etchings that are without doubt the finest graphic achievements of the decade and are among the greatest in American graphic art to date. True to Hopper's feelings about nature and the human predicament, they are indelibly American."
The Brooklyn Museum, located on Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue, is easily reached by public transportation. There is a 7TH Ave. - IRT Station - EASTERN PARKWAY - BROOKLYN MUSEUM - located directly in front of the building and ample parking is provided in the rear to accommodate visitors. Hours: Wed.: 10 a. m. to 9:00p.m.; Thurs. through Sat. 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Sun. 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Holidays, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Closed Mon. and Tues. Admission to the Museum is free.

Pasta alla Carbonara is a relatively new Italian classic. Attributed to Rome in the mid-20th century (appearing sometime between 1927-1954), this simple dish has an incredibly rich history and flavor! Some say that the name is rooted in the Italian carbonaro - referring to a charcoal burner - claiming that it was a rich, hearty (and inexpensive) meal for Italy's charcoal miners. This theory is supported by the dish's United States nickname "coal miner's spaghetti"! On the other hand, the word carbonari (charcoalmen) describing an underground group that was instrumental in the unification of Italy. As for the recipe itself, some hypothesize that this Roman dish only developed because Italians were eating more bacon and eggs as a result of American troops - possible? Maybe. Likely? Well, have you seen how much pancetta is in Rome...
All of these recipes are essentially gluten free, just be sure to use gluten free pasta (spaghetti, fetuccine or even penne, and gnocchi)!
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Simple, hearty, delicious.
Pasta alla Carbonara e Piselli
Somewhere along the line carbonara recipes began to include peas (piselli) - and it's a mighty fine addition, if I do say so.
Faux Carbonara - Eggless
Using cream to make an extra thick sauce without the eggs, this is great for those with an egg allergy!
Gnocchi alla Carbonara
With potato dumplings instead of pasta - delicioso!
Elegant Pasta alla Carbonara
With a few non-traditional ingredients, this version is tough to beat!

Georgia Tech (9-1) at Duke (5-4),12:00 EST, ESPN2, Saturday, November 14
Why to watch: One win in Durham is all that separates No. 7 Georgia Tech from a trip to Tampa and a spot in next month's ACC title game. The Yellow Jackets needed overtime on Saturday, but shook off Wake Forest, 30-27, for their seventh win in-a-row. Lurking right behind Tech in the Coastal Division is Miami, who won when the two met in September, so there's little margin for error for the league's front-runners. Has the clock struck 12 for Duke? The league's feel-good story of 2009 lost in Chapel Hill on Saturday, snapping a rare three-game winning streak and keeping the Blue Devils a win away from that coveted bowl eligibility. They've got three more cracks at ending a 15-year bowl drought, and not one of them will be a pushover. Oddly enough, the improbable sweep of Georgia Tech, Miami, and Wake Forest would send the Devils to the league championship game on Dec. 5.
Why Georgia Tech might win: Duke is tired, banged-up, and short-handed on defense, which is no way to head into a game against a well-oiled triple-option. Since getting shut down by the Hurricanes two weeks ago, the Jackets have been cranking out the yards on the ground, rising to No. 2 nationally in rushing offense. In fact, that was the last time an opponent held Tech to fewer than three rushing touchdowns in a game. From QB Josh Nesbitt to backs Jonathan Dwyer and Anthony Allen, everyone has gotten involved with a machine that'll simply overpower the Blue Devil front seven.
Why Duke might win: QB Thaddeus Lewis and the Blue Devil were brought back to Earth by Carolina last weekend. They'll be back in the stratosphere, however, against Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have been leaky all year on defense, allowing a whopping six yards a play and ranking 98th nationally in pass efficiency D. Lewis will get back on track through the air, with the help of budding receivers Donovan Varner, Conner Vernon, Austin Kelly, and Johnny Williams. Tech will put points up, but Duke has the firepower to keep pace in a high-scoring game.
Who to watch: The Yellow Jackets' secret weapon on offense is full-bodied WR Demaryius Thomas. No, he doesn't catch a ton of passes in this offense, but, boy, does he make them count. He's caught 37 balls, 32 more than any other Tech player, and turned them into 861 yards and five touchdowns. It's the conundrum when facing this attack. You've got to
over-commit to stop the run, but it leaves you naked four or fives a game when Thomas starts barreling downfield with the ball in his hands.
What will happen: While Lewis has the receivers and the opponent to keep this game interesting for a while, brief spurts of success are not enough to take down Georgia Tech these days. The Yellow Jackets will wear down an overmatched Blue Devil defense after halftime, pulling away and cranking out more than 300 soul-sapping yards on the ground.

Virginia Tech (6-3) at Maryland (2-7),1:00 EST, ESPN360, Saturday, November 14
Why to watch: No longer in contention for the Coastal Division or an ACC crown, Virginia Tech gets back to the business of improving its postseason destination. It's not what Hokie fans have grown accustomed to in November, but it's the reality that comes with losing back-to-back conference games in October. Although hardly refrigerator material, Tech got back on track in its last outing, shutting down East Carolina in Greenville, 16-3. By losing to NC State a week ago, Maryland officially dropped out of bowl contention and sunk into the ACC basement. There's not much intrigue left in College Park, though an MCL injury to starting QB Chris Turner could create a glimpse of the future if sophomore Jamarr Robinson is forced to make the first start of his Terrapin career.
Why Virginia Tech might win: A lame Turner or an inexperienced Robinson is no way to go into a game with the Hokies. They've got the speed and the veteran talent to torment either passer into costly mistakes. From the outside, Jason Worilds and Nekos Brown have the explosiveness to run circles around a gimpy Terrapin line that's consistently failed in pass protection. Tech, bolstered in the secondary by Stephan Virgil, Kam Chancellor, and Rashad Carmichael, are have the nation's No. 8 pass defense, which will force Maryland to lean on a feeble, depleted ground game.
Why Maryland might win: Can the Hokies score enough to avoid the upset? Over the last three games, they've managed to average just 19 points a game and have struggled to move the ball through the air. First-year RB Ryan Williams has been fantastic, breaking the 1,000-yard barrier last week, but the Terps have the linebackers to keep him in check. Alex Wujciak and Adrian Moten are the mainstays in run defense, and young Ben Pooler has really come on since Demetrius Hartsfield was injured. In just the last two games, the sophomore has racked up 24 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and a pair of sacks.
Who to watch: Hokie QB Tyrod Taylor has the arm to do much more as a passer. This is one of those times when the coaching staff might let him show it off. The Terrapins house one of the league's worst defensive backfields, which will create open spaces for Tech receivers Jarrett Boykin and Danny Coale to run patterns without a whole lot of resistance. If too much attention is given Williams and the running game, Taylor will hurt Maryland over the top.
What will happen: As long as motivation doesn't become a factor, Virginia Tech has way too many edges on both of sides of the ball for this game to be tight after the first quarter. The Hokies will gang tackle Maryland ballcarriers, stripping the ball and frustrating the quarterbacks. Williams will roll for 150 yards and a score no matter how many Terps line up in the box.
CFN Prediction: Virginia Tech 34 … Maryland 13 ... Line: Virginia Tech -17.5

Boston College (6-3) at Virginia (3-6),3:30 EST, Saturday, November 14
Why to watch: Although Boston College is tied in the loss column with Clemson, it needs to take care of business and scoreboard watch in order to win the Atlantic Division; the Eagles lost to the Tigers back on Sept. 19, putting them at a disadvantage in tiebreakers. BC is coming out of its first bye week of the season, a much-needed time to get healthy and get some rest before the stretch run. Streaky Virginia lost three to start the season, won the next three to get even, and have lost the last three to slump out of the bowl picture. The Cavaliers have bottomed out during the most recent losing streak, getting waxed by Georgia Tech, Duke, and Miami by an average of 24 points a game. The fate of downtrodden head coach Al Groh is about the only drama left around Charlottesville.
Why Boston College might win: Since taking it on the chin in Blacksburg on Oct. 10, the Eagle defense has stiffened, allowing an average of just 17 points over the last three games. And that was against three quality quarterbacks, Russell Wilson, Jimmy Clausen, and Dan LeFevour. Marc Verica and the nation's 119th-ranked offense will be no match for this unit. Boston College has been especially tough against the run, clogging the interior with tackles Damik Scafe and Austin Giles, and getting ample support from linebackers Mike Morrissey and Luke Kuechly. If the Cavs have to make plays through the air, they have no shot of winning.
Why Virginia might win: Sure, the Cavalier defense has buckled lately, but the secondary remains one of the deepest in the ACC and it's not as if Boston College boasts a scary offense. The Eagles are 92nd nationally and have piled up most of their points in two games against Northeastern and NC State. Erratic QB David Shinskie will have a difficult time navigating Ras-I Dowling, Chris Cook, and the rest of that athletic, hard-hitting Virginia defensive backfield. Without the support of a passing game, BC's top offensive weapon, RB Montel Harris, will feeling contact at or near the line of scrimmage.
Who to watch: Although Shinskie hasn't completed a ton of passes this season, he has helped elevate the play of young receiver Colin Larmond. Still a little raw, he has great size at 6-3 and 200 pounds, and can challenge the Virginia defensive backs on jump balls. In his first season of extensive action, the big-play sophomore has caught 21 balls for 449 yards and four touchdowns, providing a nice complement to sure-handed Rich Gunnell.
What will happen: Virginia has nothing left in the tank. Boston College still has plenty to play for in November. It'll show. In a low-scoring game, the Eagles will toy with the Cavalier offense, while Harris smashes the 100-yard mark on the ground for the fifth time this season.

Since Shannon, Goon, and I have pretty much cleaned out our closets of Mets jerseys (at least for now, we all know there will be more later), I was thinking where can we go from here. Easy answer – who doesn't love bobbleheads?
Today we have Don Newcombe in his classic Brooklyn Do…er…Legends uniform? Huh? I'm thinking the Los Angeles team didn't want to give permission (yet again)
OK, so this is not a Mets bobblehead, or even a Mets affiliated team bobble – but it was given away at a Brooklyn Cyclones game.

Vegetable Cutlets
June 27th 2011By Zippy Siedenfeld
These are a great veggie burger alternative— when you've overdosed on potatoes, these are filling, are lighter, and offer a little more variety. Though they're delicious right out of the fryer, they're neat, easy to eat, and portable for a take-a-long lunch. Eat alone, or if your customs allow, create a sandwich with matzah and some crunchy lettuce.
Vegan Harissa Latkes
December 3rd 2014By Tamar Genger MA, RD
I love making different kinds of patties with chickpea flour and eliminating the eggs. It gives a really nice crispy texture and works well with the flavor of potatoes. It also just happens to make the latkes vegan which is a plus for some. I added harissa to the mix and to the sauce for a nice treat. I liked them as patties or balls, so it is up to you, but latke bites are kind of fun and different.

Oh wow!
Reviewed: 27 June 2015 by saramamma1992, a Bisexual Single Female
This was my first ever rabbit and I'm so glad I chose this one to pop my cherry!
The rotating head gave me such a sensation that must be so unique to this rabbit toy. The rabbit ears were the best feeling I've ever had.
Let's just say that using this toy gave me not only the quickest, but the biggest orgasm I have had in my life!
- Pros
- I love the rotating head and multi-function rabbit ears.
- Cons
- Off button for the ears is a bit tricky.
- Bottom line
- Best orgasm ever!

Instant favourite
Reviewed: 05 May 2015 by blat01, a Bisexual Married Male
I bought this for my wife when her previous rabbit expired.
It is well made, nicely sized with a quality feel and no noticeable smell. The silicone always fells slightly warm to the touch as well, which is nice.
We find that the rotating balls add a little something, but the main delight are the bunny ears. They have plenty of power and some nice pulsing programmes. It is reasonably quiet - quiet enough for nocturnal play in a with kids household. The only tricky thing is turning the beastie off. You have to press and hold the bottom button.
She much prefers this to her previous rabbit and it has become her favourite solo toy.
A great toy, at a good price.
- Pros
- Vibrations, feel, lack of smell, quieter than last rabbit.
- Cons
- Slightly tricky off button.
- Bottom line
- A great rabbit - instant favourite.

Love the fact that it came in a brown box (didn't want the postman getting the wrong idea).
The product definitely exceeded my expectations. The weight and feel of it - just felt well built and not cheap. Very clear instructions on what to do with this product (as if you didn't know).
After inserting the batteries and playing around with all the different settings, it was time to put it to the test.
The product has many different settings, choose whichever is best for you. I chose high vibrate and my mind was blown with how good this product felt. I have used several vibrators in the past, but this is just on another level! I had to tell my partner to stop as I was ready to orgasm way before him.
The rotational beads did add a little extra something but not a great deal for me!
The only (slight) downside to this toy is it took me a minute to figure out how to turn it off, and as far as I could see it didn't state this in the instructions (you press and hold the bottom button).
This product is definitely deserving of your money. I'm actually a little angry I have only just discovered it now!
- Pros
- The weight and the texture.
- Cons
- Couldn't find the off button.
- Bottom line
- Mind-blowing!

Wow, wow, wow
Reviewed: 02 March 2015 by linzt, a Straight Married Female
This is my first ever rabbit and I have to say I don't know why I didn't get one sooner. I climax so quickly with this now and unlike my other toys I'm practically gushing.
It's very easy to clean and you don't get that rubber/plastic smell either. I couldn't wait to get it out of the box. The reverse rotation is amazing if you fancy changing it. I found that the buttons were very easy to use. I even take my new toy into the shower. This is a must.
- Pros
- I love everything about it, from A-Z.
- Cons
- The rotation is a little on the noisy side but you soon forget about it.
- Bottom line
- Perfect, it does exactly what it's supposed to do.

This rabbit came up as Deal of the Day when my old (favourite) rabbit had just died. Thought it was fate, so I bought this one.
The rabbit arrived a few days after placing my order. It is a bright pink colour with clear middle bit in the shaft with the rotating beads in. Easy to put the batteries in and easy to use controls. I thought it was quite loud but the vibrations were excellent.
Good range of speeds and vibrations with the rabbit ears. The moving beads in the shaft felt good too.
I would give this rabbit a 10/10. It really hits the spot. The only part I was not so happy with is turning it off. You have to hold the button down (quite firmly) and I found it take longer to stop than I would have liked, but that is my only negative point.
- Pros
- Great vibrations, lots of speeds and pulses.
- Cons
- I would have liked to be able to turn it off quicker.
- Bottom line
- My new favourite rabbit.

If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Israel's Counter-Terrorism Bureau warned Israeli citizens on Friday to stay away from Thailand's capital, following the arrest of a Hezbollah militant suspected of planning a terrorist attack in the city.
Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yumbumrung said earlier on Friday that "a Lebanese suspect from the Hezbollah group has been taken into custody by Thai officials and police are investigating further." He added that "following concern raised by the Israeli embassy about a possible attack by a group of Lebanese terrorists in Bangkok, Thai police officials had been coordinating with Israeli officials since before the New Year."
Israel's counter terrorism bureau also called on Israeli citizens already in Bangkok to avoid areas associated with Israeli tourists, to remain alert and to cooperate with local security officials.
Earlier on Friday, the U.S. embassy warned of a possible attack by "foreign terrorists" and told its citizens to be careful in areas of the capital frequented by tourists.
"We're warning all U.S. citizens to take caution when visiting public areas where Western tourists are known to gather in Bangkok," Walter Braunohler, spokesman at the embassy, declined to give further details.
Bangkok, a magnet for tourists with its vibrant nightlife and a transit point for those heading for Thailand's beaches, has faced political turmoil in recent years but threats of foreign attacks are rare.
Hezbollah, a Shi'ite Islamist group in Lebanon backed by Syria and Iran, is on the official U.S. blacklist of foreign terrorist organizations.

MENA IPOs booming
Mena IPOs raise record $1.6bn in Q1
The regional capital markets in the Middle East and North Africa recorded a twenty-fold increase in capital raised during the first quarter through three IPOs which soared to $1.6 billion compared to last year's $82.8 million through four IPOs, according to Ernst & Young's 2013 Q1 MENA IPO update.
This is the highest Q1 value since 2008, said the E&Y in its report.
The three regional IPOs in first quarter of 2013 represented a 374.3 per cent increase from the $339.8 million raised in the last quarter, it stated.
However there was a 25 per cent decrease in the deal volume during the first quarter, the report added.
Phil Gandier, Mena head of Transaction Advisory Services, E&Y, said, "Q1'13 posted the strongest results for the first quarter of the year since 2008. However, the majority of the value is attributed to a large ticket telecommunications IPO in Iraq."
"This sector is traditionally associated with large value transactions and the high Q1 performance will be sustainable if we start to see similar large value transactions on a regular basis which would bolster the regions capital markets," he stated.
Of the three IPOs, two came to market in Saudi Arabia while one was reported in Iraq. The largest issuance was in Iraq, with Asiacell Communications raising $1.3 billion, followed by Northern Region Cement Company in Saudi Arabia that raised $240 million and National Medical Care Company in Saudi Arabia that raised $97.2 million, said Phil.
"Over 40 per cent of investors in the Middle East and Africa stated a preference to invest overseas, as evidenced in Ernst & Young's recent institutional investor study. Therefore, the challenge remains whereby more domestic deal activity would be a key driver for stronger IPO activity and growth in the Mena region," he added.

By Steve Herman
Malaysia's prime minister, Najib Razak, says there is a "high degree of certainty" someone deliberately shut off the communications systems on the missing Malaysian jetliner, but he stopped short of saying the plane was hijacked.
Najib's remarks Saturday triggered a new flood of speculation into what caused the Boeing 777 to vanish from civilian radar soon after taking off on March 8.
He said somewhere near the Malaysian border the plane's transponder was switched off, before the jet veered westward in a fashion "consistent with deliberate action."
"The Royal Malaysian Air Force primary radar data showed that an aircraft, which was believed, but not confirmed to be MH370 did indeed turn back. It then flew in a westerly direction back over peninsula Malaysia before turning northwest," he said.
The prime minister said despite media reports of a hijacking, Malaysian authorities are looking into all possibilities of what might have caused the flight to deviate from its original path. He said officials are refocusing their investigation on the crew and passengers.
Najib said signals between the Malaysia Airlines plane and a satellite continued more than six-and-a-half hours after primary contact with the jet was lost.
He said authorities are now trying to trace the plane in two possible corridors: one from the border of Kazakhstan to northern Thailand, and the other south to the southern Indian Ocean. He said search efforts in the South China Sea are ending.
The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has led to one of aviation's most puzzling mysteries.
Speculation has been rampant about what caused the plane's disappearance, including mechanical failure, a hijacking, terrorism or pilot intent to commit suicide.
Dozens of ships and planes from about 15 countries have contributed to the search for the aircraft, which had 239 people on board. It was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared.
U.S. officials have said the jet may have crashed into the Indian Ocean. Indian military aircraft have flown in the Indian Ocean over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands – more than 500 mostly uninhabited, heavily forested land masses.
About two-thirds of the people on board the missing flight were Chinese. Other passengers included Europeans and Americans.

Tina Fey is a dead ringer for Sarah Palin, helping explain why her impersonation of the Alaskan governor on Saturday Night Live is so gut-splittingly funny.
But Fey is not the only person reproducing Palin's distinct look and mannerisms.
Tons of people -- mostly women, but not entirely -- plan to dress as Palin for Halloween.
A basic Internet search finds hundreds of photos of Palin impersonators, each with her own variation on the vice presidential hopeful.
Some hold toy shotguns. Others wear hockey jerseys. Still others sport a "Miss Alaska" sash.
It would be impossible to track the number of people intending to don a Palin costume this Halloween season. Achieving the desired effect requires only basic items: Horn-rimmed or rimless glasses, brown wig and a business suit.
"A lot of people are doing it on their own," said Gregg Kerns, president of Costume Holiday House in Fremont.
Inevitably, Palins will be spotted all across north-central Ohio later this month at Halloween parties and local bars.
Many Palins won't attend the parties alone.
Sen. John McCain masks are selling at a brisk pace. Only two remain on the racks at Party America, and none are left at Spirit Halloween.
Sen. Barack Obama masks, meanwhile, are sold out in town.
"He was the hardest to keep around," said Barb Erf, manager of Party America.
At Costume Holiday House, the McCain and Obama masks are flying off the shelves. The popularity of the masks remains fairly even, but Kerns said Obama has a slight edge.
This, however, is not necessarily a perfect representation of what's happening in the polls, Kerns said.
"It's hard to tell, because you just don't know what they're using them for. I think more people use (masks) because if you don't like a candidate, you're going to buy it so you can (parody them)," Kerns said.
Kerns -- a fan of Halloween parties, if only to see what the hot costumes are that year -- said more often that not, a person buys a political mask to spark a critical debate about that politician and their policies.
Costume-hunters also tend to gravitate toward politicians who are interesting characters with unique personalities -- those who are ripe for parody, Kerns said.
Costume Holiday House turns 50 next year, meaning it has survived many presidential elections. Kerns said there were lots of Michael Dukakis masks left over in 1988, because Dukakis was not all that interesting as a person.
McCain and Obama are different stories, Kerns said. Even Bill Clinton's mask still sold out this year at Party America.
In the end, the type of costume a person is likely to wear is often determined by their age and gender. The big categories of costumes are sexy (popular among women), silly (popular among men), cute (popular among children) and scary (popular among young men).
The Joker is a top-selling scary outfit and mask this year, Erf said. Top-selling cute costumes include Hannah Montana, Indiana Jones and Batman costumes.
Adult males are more likely to wear costumes that make funny statements -- political or otherwise -- such as outfits worn by actor Will Ferrell in any one of his movies, said Dean Lorentz, assistant manager with Spirit Halloween.
For women, dressing as Palin may be appealing for two reasons.
First of all, Palin has the chance to become the first female vice president, so she's interesting in that regard. But her look also lends itself in another way.
Walls of Party America and Spirit Halloween are devoted to sultry Halloween costumes for women. There are sexy pirates, sexy maids, sexy witches -- there's pretty much a sexy costume for every career imaginable.
A party-goer could dress like Palin and exaggerate the governor's resemblance to a naughty librarian. That could kill two birds with one stone.

El Hilo, Puerto Vallarta
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
I went here on Saturday night. This place was packed. It is two levels, with a main level where many people were dancing, and an upper balcony level. As with most bars along the Malecon, it is open to the street in the front. Although it was jammed, it had a nice laid back vibe. The age of the crowd ranged from 20's to 30's with maybe a couple of 40's.
Dress Code: Pretty much anything goes
Hilo is by the far the best club i have ever been to! If you want to party hard, this is the place for you. Dancing on the bar, body shots. Make friends with the waitors and security guards, they will do anything for you and watch your back for you, and if someone is making you uncomfortable they will come over and talk to them and tell them to leave you alone. Joshua, the waitor is by far the hottest on there...and good in bed! YEP! okay, yeah....the place is the ***.
Dress Code: Causal.
Aaron, Joshua and Blue... need I say more? The dancing was incredible, the men were hot, the lady's were sexy and the music was awesome. Nothign could have been better spent 3 of our 8 nights there from 11pm to 6 in the mornin!!!
Dress Code: Everyone was lookin HOT
OMG! I loved this place to death. The crowd is amazing and really packed. The bartenders and security guys are fabulous. I love them all ! They treated me so nice and were extremely friendly. Joshua is the cutest one of all and he sure knows it : ) I would totally recommend this spot. I was there almost every night ! Drink price is about them same
Dress Code: pretty much anything

EU accession: A road to fast-track convergence?
This paper investigates the accession-related economic boom in the countries which recently entered the European Union. The analysis tests whether, on top of the standard growth determinants, the period of EU accession made a significant difference to the growth performance of the New Member States (NMS). The paper finds that the period of EU accession is characterised by significantly larger growth rates of per-capita GDP, even after controlling for a wide range of economic and institutional factors. This effect is robust and particularly strong for countries with relatively low initial income levels, weak institutional quality and less advanced financial development, suggesting that EU accession has been speeding up the catching-up process and improved the institutions of the laggards among the NMS. The prospect of EU membership which has triggered large capital inflows seems to have fostered economic growth of those NMS with lower degrees of financial depth.

Black Raspberry Green Tea Bags
Choose Your Variety
The black raspberry is neither a blackberry nor a raspberry but has similar sweet, earthy flavors. This dark fruit tops the berry list with its antioxidant levels. Sip your way to good health with this green tea blend.
Green tea contains less than a quarter the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee. More about caffeine.
Steeping Instructions
Steeping green tea is easy. Simply heat fresh, filtered water just short of boiling. Then pour water over tea and steep for 1-3 minutes (if using a tea bag) or 2-4 minutes (if using full-leaf tea.)
Fine China green tea, natural black raspberry flavor and blueberries
What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
Very earthy with a wonderful back raspberry flavor! I cant wait to try some of the other super fruit teas.
This tea is wonderful. It tastes just like fresh berries.
Great tea!
Black raspberries are my favorite berries--and the flavor of this tea is wonderful! It's great for hot tea or iced tea.
wonderful tea
I got a sampler size of this tea and wished after tasting it that I had gotten a full size can. This tea is amazing, I love it
Very Good
Very good, love the flavor not to overwhelming just sweet enough without being too sweet or fruity!

|Synopsis: In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, an elite force of protectors for peace and justice has existed for centuries. They are the Green Lantern Corps. When a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of the Corps' newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Bringing the popular superhero to the big screen for the first time, Green Lantern also stars Blake Lively (Gossip Girl), Peter Sarsgaard (Orphan), Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes), Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett* and Academy Award® winner Tim Robbins**.
Special Features:
Editor's NoteA test pilot embraces his destiny as a cosmic superhero in CASINO ROYALE director Martin Campbell's adaptation of the popular DC Comics series. Ever since he saw his fearless father perish in a tragic aviation mishap, all Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) could think about was flying -- it was the only thing the brash, cocky, and irresponsible test pilot ever truly excelled at. Little did he realize he was destined for something much bigger. Somewhere out in space, a powerful force of evil known as Parallax is spreading fear and destruction; the only hope for defeating Parallax is the Green Lantern Corps, a group of intergalactic warriors powered by the force of will. When legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) is sent hurtling toward planet Earth after a deadly encounter with Parallax, his ring chooses Hal to continue the fight. The ring spirits our hero away to the Green Lantern's home planet of Oa for training. The first human ever to receive the honor of becoming a Green Lantern, Hal is viewed with scorn by the league's leader, Sinestro (Mark Strong), who trains him alongside the hulking Kilowog (voice of Michael Clarke Duncan). Later, on planet Earth, frail scientist Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) becomes infected with Parallax's evil while performing an autopsy on Abin Sur, and uses his newfound powers to stake claim on Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), Hal's lifelong friend and fellow test pilot. When Hal learns that Parallax plans to consume all life on Earth to gain the energy needed to conquer Oa, he begins looking inward for the courage to defeat the malevolent force and embrace his destiny as a super-powered peacekeeper.

Professional Reviews
Customer Reviews of Green Lantern (Blu-ray)
Deserve to take a look12/26/2013
It is not an Oscar movie, but is definitely entertaining. Some reviews are very harsh, but judge for yourself, that is a popcorn movie that you may like.
Not the best.4/19/2012
This movie wasn't that good to me. The special effects looked alright but I didn't care much for the story. I wasn't a fan of the Green Lantern before this movie and maybe that had something to do with me not liking it that much. Ryan Reynolds was a definite plus with his portrayal of Hal Jordan but just wasn't enough to keep me interested.

It is no secret that the last three vintages we released are absolute stunners. Revisiting the wines over the recent Thanksgiving holiday we were struck by the clarity of vintage expression in each wine. The 2007 vintage captures that combination of richness and structure that made the vintage (justifiably) famous. 2008 continues to be overly precocious, with a seamless combination of aromatics, richness on the palate and supple well integrated tannins. 2009 is the baby of the group melding the intensity and structure of 07 with the 08's aromatic complexity. We keep hearing from Meteor fans that they are waiting to pull the cork on the wines as they age gracefully in the cellar. This is a perfect opportunity to taste three vintages of what Wine and Spirit's Patrick Comiskey refers to as "Coombsville's Cru" side by side!
We are excited to offer a limited number of three bottle Meteor Vineyard Perseid vertical packs containing one bottle each from the 2007, 2008 and 2009 vintages packaged in a custom wood box. The perfect gift to yourself (if you've been good) or for wine loving friends. Free shipping on orders placed by Sunday December 9. Wines to ship December 11. Click here to place your order.
The entire Meteor Vineyard team wishes you and your family the happiest of holidays!
P.S. The Meteor Vineyard wines are sold at many of the nations top restaurants including Daniel Boulud's Daniel in NYC, Thomas Keller's French Laundry in Napa Valley, Gary Danko's eponymous namesake in San Francisco and Robert Gel Gado's Cafe Annie in Houston. Check out the full list of restaurant partners here and celebrate the holidays with Meteor at your favorite!
Follow along with mad scientist/chef Barry Schuler as he creates this years Thanksgiving feast at Meteor Vineyard.
What's for Thanksgiving at Meteor Vineyard? A Story in Photos.
Well "hammer" may be a bit excessive but we island hopped last week sharing a vertical selection of the Meteor Vineyard wines with both sommeliers and collectors.
I have really enjoyed watching the food and wine scene explode here over the last couple of years.
On Maui restaurants like Spago at the Four Seasons Wailea, the Lahaina Grill (ask for Richard Olson - one of my favorite sommeliers anywhere in the US) and Merriman's (which has one of the world's most spectucular views) continue to carry the banner of fine dining, with local fish and produce offering a taste of the Island. Oahu's standard bearers like Alan Wong's and La Mer at the Halekulani continue to wow and soon to open Vintage Cave promises to make the high end dining scene even better. Round that out with places like Wolfgang's Steakhouse, BLT Steak and Michel's and you have enough serious food and wine to pack in a week!
And you absoutley CANNOT go to Oahu without delving into both local food (Ono Hawaiian Foods) and poke (Ono Seafood - different place but right accross the street from Oho Hawaiin - will change your life) as well as the incredible range of Japanese food that surpasses anything else in the US. Gaku, Nanzan Giro Giro, Khanatori absoutley kill it.
In terms of wine retail stores - a couple that I love; Wailea Wine in Maui, which our friend Ed Mikesh just purchased from longtime owners Alan and Diane Beaurline, and HASR Wines in Honolulu - one of the greatest collections of Premier Napa Valley wines anywhere!
We have already received great acclaim for the 2010 vintage. After nearly 2 years in barrel (65% new french oak - as usual) the wines are finally headed into bottle to rest for the next 11 months (16 months for the Reserve). Look for the release in the fall of 2013!

Darker than the 2009 version and more muscular too, offering an impressive combination of power and finesse. Very ripe black fruit flavors are perked up by juicy acidity. Finishes with terrific grip and lingering sweetness. Dawnine Dyer notes that 2010 produced bigger wines. Yes, there were heat spikes in late August and late September, she said, but the harvest here didn't even start until October 10." Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar
2010 Meteor Vineyard Special Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"Good dark ruby-red. Very pure aromas of cassis, violet, licorice and minerals. Powerful and primary, with a strong mineral quality to the rich, sweet dark berry flavors. Easier to taste today than the Perseid owing to its sheer lushness and sweetness. But very powerful for this bottling. The clone 7 is the source of the minerality in this wine, notes winemaker Dyer. A great California cabernet in the making." Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar
It doesn't matter where you are in Napa Valley at the moment - everyone is talking about the 2012 vintage. A bountiful fruit set in the spring was followed by even temperatures throughout the summer leading to perfectly proportioned fruit. Winemakers and vineyard managers are almost giddy with excitement.
I walked the vineyard this morning and noted just a couple of rows of fruit remaining from a vineyard client taking advantage of a couple more days of warm temperatures for a tiny burst of increased ripeness.
Here is some Clone 337 still hanging...
Can't wait to taste the wines post fermentation!

From the Vineyard – 2009 was a low rainfall year with most precipitation coming in the spring. This pattern was perfect for the vineyard and provided ample moisture for the growing season. Bloom and set were a little late but dodged the spring rains. Overall 2009 was a mild growing season. Some concern for a late harvest prompted extra care in thinning and multiple passes were made. The end of the season was punctuated by 10 days of welcome heat in early October and the fruit came in mid October under excellent conditions. Mike Wolf, Vineyard Manager
From the Winemaker – Our 2009 Perseid is deep garnet in color with a saturated opaque blue rim. Complex and exuberant aromas of ripe blackberry, violet and cloves meld with sweet tobacco and currant leaves. The palate explodes with a combination of red and black fruit, dark chocolate and spice leading to a finely balanced finish. Powerful and silky. Dawnine Dyer, Winemaker
From the Sommelier – The magic of the 2009 vintage lies in its combination of concentration and balance. The long cool growing season allowed for slow ripening and intense flavor development while retaining acidity and mature silky tannins. This vintage will reward cellaring. Jason Alexander, Sommelier and General Manager
With the 2012 harvest just weeks away, we caught up with Meteor Vineyard winemaker and partner Dawnine Dyer to discuss the vintage.

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
Ecclesiastical authority conferred by Christ on Peter and his successors. In virtue of this authority, the popes have universal and independent jurisdiction over all the churches and all the faithful. The term is derived from Christ's promise to Peter to give him the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 16:19). More commonly, however, the expression refers to the Church exercise of authority to forgive or retain sins in the sacrament of penance.
