American Idol
DeAndre Brackensick on His American Idol BFF and the Unusual Item He's Bringing on Tour
The falsetto-loving DeAndre Brackensick bowed out of American Idol at a respectable eighth place. Now joining the rest of the Top 10 on the American Idols Live! Tour, Deandre spoke to reporters at a press junket for the summer tour and discussed what he would change about the Idol process, who would be a great replacement for judge Jennifer Lopez if she leaves, and who his best friend on tour is:
Wetpaint Entertainment: Congratulations, I heard you graduated.
Deandre Brackensick: Yes, I did. I graduated
Did you have a party?
Yeah, the party was nice. A lot of people I didn't know showed up.
Was it like in the movies where things get trashed?
Oh, no, no. It was like a Hawaiian party. So a lot of Hawaiian music and stuff because I grew up with that kind of stuff. So that's what it was.
Like a comedian, are you now expected to sing at all family events?
Oh, my gosh, yeah. I can't even sit down.
Are there certain requests that people want more than another?
Yeah. Like certain songs and stuff, but I'll do it though.
What's the go-to song — the song they want to hear from you?
"Master Blaster." "I Like It."
Will those be on tour with you?
I can't say.
Did you get input in what you do on the tour? Obviously, you've done stuff on the show that you like more than other songs. So when you sat down to go over the tour, do you get to pick what you want to do?
I get somewhat, but they kind of give you the song, which is fine. I love the songs. I really wanted to show my falsetto, but I don't really get to at all. So hopefully after touring, I get to, find to somewhere I can put it.
Now that you've been on the show, what's the one thing you would change either behind the scenes or the format or anything?
The voting. On the show, I think you should vote as many times as how many people are there. So if there's like ten people, you vote ten times. If there's nine, you vote nine. So I think it would be more fair that way because for people like me, that cater to more of the older crowd, they're not going to sit up all night. They're going to call one or two times, and think, "Okay. Cool. We got him." Not like the teenage girls, which I don't really have as much. They're not going to [vote] all night for two hours straight. So I think that for future Idols it would be nice just to set a limit.
We know that you guys love Jennifer Lopez, and we don't know if she's coming back. Who would you like to see as a judge if that was the case, if she didn't come back. Who do you think would make a good replacement?
Mary J Blige would be cool. Stevie Nicks is the best in the world. But she's doing her thing right now, so I don't think she would do it, but she was my favorite consultant ever.
Many, many weeks ago, when you first made the tour, we asked what the one thing you were taking on tour with you was, and you said your ukulele, is that still the same?
Yeah. My ukulele, and my comb.
Do you think you're still pretty much the same person you were before Idol?
Yeah. I'm always going to be DeAndre. You're going to see what you get. I'm me.
Who's the biggest diva now?
I think we all have our diva moments. It just depends on what we're put in. We all have them. I have them. Everybody has them.
Have you become more friends with anybody as this process after the show?
Everybody's really, really cool. Jessica's my best friend, has been my best friend since the beginning. But we're really close. We're really, really close. That's why like even rehearsals are so much fun because it's like camp, so much fun.

CLF asks PSB for pipeline permit changeStaff Report | July 14,2014MONTPELIER - The Conservation Law Foundation asked the Public Service Board on Monday to require Vermont Gas Systems to seek an amended certificate of public good for Phase I of its natural gas pipeline project.
In its filing, CLF cited a $35 million, or 40 percent, increase in the cost of the project. CLF also asked the board to require VGS to halt construction unless and until it receives an amended permit.
"Vermont Gas is obligated to seek approval for any substantial change to its project. A 40 percent cost increase is a substantial change that requires review," Sandra Levine, CLF senior attorney said in a statement.
Vermont Gas received PSB approval in December for Phase I of its Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project. Phase I would extend the pipeline from Chittenden to parts of Addison County, including Middlebury.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Attorney General Troy King is firing back against accusations that he is attempting to block Republican candidate for governor Tim James from having a recount.
James, who came in third during the state's primary elections, has said he wants a recount, and King said the opinion he issued at the request of Secretary of State Beth Chapman doesn't stop him from getting one. He hopes that a recount will net him the votes he needs to knock Dr. Robert Bentley, who edged James out of the runoff with former two-year college Chancellor Bradley Byrne, with 167 votes out of second place.
But King issued a statement Monday, to "set the record straight."
"Tim James accused me of blocking his recount from going forward," King said in a statement. "That is simply not true. My opinion said the recount could go forward, and, it is indeed going forward tomorrow."
King said if James wants to challenge the results after the recount, he can do that, but his challenge would be before the Alabama Republican Party, not King. King also said in his statement that James, nor the party, are required to follow his opinion, it was intended for the guidance of the Chapman, who requested it.
The primary runoff will take place July 13.

Looking good is not a matter of vanity. Studies show that people who are pleased with how they look have more energy, more resilience and a better attitude. This helps them handle the ups and downs of cancer treatment more easily.
The Faith and Hope Boutique at the Abramson Cancer Center and Solutions for Women boutique at Pennsylvania Hospital feature many items chosen specifically for cancer patients. Personal image programs also give patients ideas on how to look their best.
The Look Good, Feel Better Workshop is a free program at the Abramson Cancer Center and the Abramson Cancer Center at Pennsylvania Hospital provided in conjunction with the American Cancer Society. The workshop teaches beauty techniques to women who are actively undergoing cancer treatment to help them combat the appearance-related side effects of radiation and chemotherapy.

But kuddos to you for going for it! I love how modern it is. The white really sets it off. Can't wait to see how you quilt it. Hope the boys are doing well. Take care! Jenn

I really like that. I had a similar idea for a load of Amy Butler FQs I want to use but haven't been able to bring myself to cut into them yet. I like the way some of the coloured centres are off centre, if that makes sense, in other words not all the blocks are regular and the same. It makes the whole design more interesting.

Full detailed profile on Charlie Banks Played by Brian Kerwin on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Brian Kerwin (Soaps.com)
Birthday: October 25 1949
In Texas, at the suites across from the Bon Jour Café, Gigi opens the door and sees Rex and Shane in the hallway. She listens as they talk about Noelle's pie, honoring Gigi. Cutter sees them and shuts the door. Gigi has a memory of her and Shane being in the suites together years ago. Cutter thinks she's reflecting on being there with Gigi and Shane. "Or," she replies. "I'm really Gigi after all." She demands they find Kim. Gigi wants answers. Cutter admits Kim's in prison. Gigi remembers Kim standing over her in the basement, calling out, "Stacy." Gigi passes out. When she wakes up, Gigi remembers waking up with Kim and tells Cutter. Kim called her Stacy. She wishes she was Gigi, someone who Rex and Shane thought was amazing. Cutter sighs when she accepts being Stacy, the one who wanted to ruin Gigi's life. Cutter assures Gigi that she's a good person. They decide to stay one more night. At her persistence, Cutter holds her.
At the Bon Jour Café, Gigi, whose back is turned to Rex, hears him ask for a table. She quickly hides, watches as Viki joins Rex then calls Cutter. He stops her from confronting Rex and promises to be right there. At their table, Viki takes in the familiarity of the café. It looks just like it did when Gigi worked there. Viki remembers Charlie and admits she misses him sometimes. Gigi listens as Rex talks about finding Gigi there, years ago, and how he's been seeing Gigi's face. Viki's shocked to hear Stacy's running around with Gigi's face. As Gigi's scolded by another waitress, for hiding out in the kitchen, Cutter appears in the doorway and pays a man to cause a distraction. The man annoys Rex and Viki with his preaching, which gives Cutter time to get Gigi out of the café. The waitress asks if Rex and Viki have seen her new waitress. They haven't, but Viki agrees to help out and is happy to hear her old nametag is still available. Later, Viki approaches the counter, in uniform, and says to someone behind a newspaper, "My name's Viki. What can I get you?" It's Charlie.
John arrives at Llanfair looking for Natalie. Viki hasn't seen her since she left with Liam and urges John to treat Natalie gently. She's still in love with him. Later, Charlie appears and hands Viki divorce papers. He didn't want to fight Viki on it after what he put her through. He left Echo and plans to make a clean start by leaving Llanview. Charlie explains how Moe hired him to rebuild the Bon Jour Café in Paris, Texas. It was destroyed by a tornado. He asks Viki to ask Natalie to say hello to Jared from him whenever she visits the cemetery. Viki tearfully wishes Charlie good luck, who says, "I will always love you Viki D." Viki says goodbye then signs the divorce papers. She takes off her wedding rings and sets them on the table.
Viki goes to Echo's motel room with the taped confession. She and Charlie briefly discuss the custody hearing and Niki Smith visiting Echo. Charlie's sure Echo didn't know she was Niki. "I wouldn't be too sure about that," Viki replies. She takes out the recorder but decides she can't hurt Charlie. He wonders what's on the tape, takes it and plays Echo's confession. Echo appears just as Charlie hears she knew Rex was Clint's son. Viki leaves. "How could you do this to me?" Echo calls after her. She desperately tries explaining why she lied and how Clint threatened to send Rex to prison. Everyone warned Charlie about Echo. "I left my wife for you!" Charlie cries. Echo's taken away everything from him, even his will to stay sober. Charlie feels used and refuses to ever forgive Echo. He packs his bags and leaves saying, "You're the biggest mistake I ever made." Echo cries for him to come back then vows revenge on Dorian and Viki.
Echo finds Viki in her motel room. "What's a matter?" Niki asks. "You've never seen an alter before?" Echo realizes she's Niki Smith and starts to call Charlie. Niki plays the recording Dorian gave her of Echo confessing about Clint being Rex's father. Echo hangs up the phone and tries to take the recorder. Just as Echo gets the upper hand, Charlie bangs on the door and calls out to her. Niki laughs then hides while Echo ushers Charlie in and straight into the bathroom. Niki quickly slips out then stands at the closed door and listens as Echo tells Charlie she has something to tell him about his wife. Echo talks about how Viki was there and threatened her. Charlie promises no one is going to take him away from Echo.
Still outside the diner, Echo and Charlie talk about the trouble Dorian's trying to cause for them. However, Echo admits she's glad Dorian's there for Viki. The situation must be tough for her. Charlie thinks Tess leaked the photo of them and says, "That girl doesn't care who she hurts."
Before Echo and Charlie enter the diner, she listens to Clint's message about staying quite, while Charlie checks in with Rex. Inside, Dorian stands next to Destiny in shock over the photo of Echo and Charlie. When she sees them enter the diner, Dorian alerts them to their public outing on television. Echo and Charlie leave, hoping Viki didn't see the broadcast. Dorian follows them outside and lashes out at the couple. They make excuses for falling in love. When Charlie brings up how Clint manipulated them, Dorian claims Echo's known all along that Clint was Rex's father. Charlie refuses to believe it. Echo urges Dorian to ask Clint. He'll back her up. Dorian promises to do so and leaves. Echo promises Charlie she never knew for sure if Clint was Rex's father. Back inside, Phyllis Rose implies to her viewers that Nora could have killed Eddie Ford. A reporter listens as Destiny calls "Access Llanview." Destiny thinks Phyllis Rose has no idea who killed Eddie. While Destiny's on hold, the reporter approaches her and convinces Destiny to let her help prove that Matthew's mom is innocent. The reporter listens intently as Destiny talks about the 'rough time' Matthew's been going through.
At Llanfair, Charlie assures Viki he'll be there to help her get custody of Ryder. She wonders if he'll be around to help raise him as well. He won't. Viki refuses to lie to the court and urges Charlie to go be with Echo. Charlie didn't intend to fall in love with Echo. Viki won't let Charlie off that easy and orders him to get his things and leave. After Charlie packs his bags, Viki says, "I never want to see you again." Charlie admits Viki turned his life around. Viki doesn't regret the time they had but now wants a divorce. Viki hands him a mug from the Paris, Texas café. Charlie leaves. Viki breaks down. Soon after, Clint arrives.
Charlie arrives at Echo's room. He's glad their affair is out in the open. Charlie wants to be with Echo but needs to stand by Viki during the custody hearing. Echo's content with Charlie's decision and doesn't want to further pressure him to tell Viki. They can't wait to be a couple and agree to endure all of the backlash that'll come with it together. Echo thinks back to knowing Clint was Rex's father all along.
Joey arrives at Llanfair and interrupts Viki's memories of meeting Charlie. He needs advice on marriage. He explains Aubrey's upset, how he punched John and claims not to care about Kelly anymore. Viki is the last person who should give him advice. She admits her marital issues with Charlie. Viki wants to fight for Charlie, but if he loves Echo, the marriage is over. Viki urges Joey to be honest about his feelings for Kelly now before anyone gets hurt. If Charlie would've done that, things might be different for her. When Charlie appears, Joey leaves. Viki needs to know if Charlie loves Echo. "Yes," Charlie replies.

Networking (raw sockets) in Silverlight and WPF – messaging in general
You, probably, know how to use raw sockets in WinForms. It's pretty the same in WPF, however it is very different (and limited) in Silverlight. Today, we'll create sample application in Silverlight, WPF and WinForm that sending and receiving updates via TCP as well as broadcasting it via UDP (singlecast and multicast). So let's start.
First of all we'll create WinForms server, that should distribute updates. It knows what the time is it now and broadcasting the time message via UDP. Also it has TCP server, that distribute updates to all it's clients.
First of all UDP. We should create the working Socket first. It uses all ip addresses to broadcast changes via given port. In order to make the socket to be multicast, we should set appropriate socket options. Let's see the code.
lock (this)
if (m_mainSocket == null)
m_mainSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
IPEndPoint ipLocal = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, port);
m_mainSocket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress, 1);
IPAddress ip = IPAddress.Parse(castGroupIp);
EPCast = new IPEndPoint(ip, port);
m_mainSocket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.IP, SocketOptionName.AddMembership, new MulticastOption(ip, IPAddress.Any));
Now, the TCP part. It's very similar (for server we do not need specific IP address to bind), however, we should not set multicast options there aside with begin listening right after connection was established.
lock (this)
if (m_mainSocket == null)
m_mainSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
IPEndPoint ipLocal = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, port);
m_mainSocket.BeginAccept(new AsyncCallback(acceptCallback), null);
In order to send data via UDP. All we have to do is to write it into current socket.
socket.SendTo(data, EPCast);
In TCP world, we should first know who we want to sent to, thus we have to enumerate all incoming clients to save the references to their sockets.
Socket workerSocket = m_mainSocket.EndAccept(asyn);
m_workerSocketList.Add(workerSocket.GetHashCode(), workerSocket);
m_mainSocket.BeginAccept(new AsyncCallback(acceptCallback), null);
Then when we know who to send, all we have to do is to send
Now, when we know how to send, we should learn how to receive network messages. It's exactly the same within TCP or UDP. First check is there is data to receive, then receive it.
if (m_pfnCallBack == null)
m_pfnCallBack = new AsyncCallback(dataReceivedCallback);
SocketPacket theSocPkt = new SocketPacket(socket, bufferSize);
socket.BeginReceive(theSocPkt.dataBuffer, 0,
We done with WinForms and WPF networking. So, we can start with graphics. Since we have no a lot of graphics in WinForms, we'll focus on WPF stuff.
We'll use ContentControl to present the content with datatemplate of our message. We'll create Ellipse for the clock and three rectangles for clock hands. Once data received, we should change RotateTransform value of RenderTransform for each of our rectangles (first set the TransformOrigin to the center of the clock). Bind it together
<Ellipse Width="250″ Height="250″ StrokeThickness="2″ Stroke="Black"/>
<Rectangle Height="100″ Width="20″ RadiusX="10″ RadiusY="10″ Fill="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,1″>
<TranslateTransform Y="25″ X="115″/>
<Rectangle Height="125″ Width="10″ RadiusX="5″ RadiusY="5″ Fill="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,1″>
<TranslateTransform Y="0″ X="120″/>
<Rectangle Height="125″ Width="4″ RadiusX="2″ RadiusY="2″ Fill="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,1″>
<TranslateTransform Y="0″ X="123″/>
How we should convert values received to the angle to turn the clock hand. We can use only one converter here and bind to the message, according following formula
HourAngle = (Hours * 30)+(12*Minutes/60);
MinuteAngle = Minutes * 6; (it's 360/60)
SecondAngle = Seconds * 6;
Let's run it. Nothing happens. Why? The reason is, that even each property of the object changes, it does not trigger binding, due to the fact, that whole object has not been changed. In order to fix it, we should bind to each property. And in case of hours to Hours and Minutes properties both. But how to make my converter to be single and multi value converter? Simple – all this about interfaces. So, following converter will do the work
public class TimeToAngleConverter : IValueConverter, IMultiValueConverter
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
return (double)value * 6;
public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
return ((double)values[0] * 30) + (12 * (double)values[1] / 60);
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
public object[] ConvertBack(object value, Type[] targetTypes, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
Now binding expressions
<Rectangle Height="100″ Width="20″ RadiusX="10″ RadiusY="10″ Fill="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,1″>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource timeToAngle}">
<Binding Path="Hour"/>
<Binding Path="Minute"/>
<TranslateTransform Y="25″ X="115″/>
<Rectangle Height="125″ Width="10″ RadiusX="5″ RadiusY="5″ Fill="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,1″>
<RotateTransform Angle="{Binding Path=Minute, Converter={StaticResource timeToAngle}}"/>
<TranslateTransform Y="0″ X="120″/>
<Rectangle Height="125″ Width="4″ RadiusX="2″ RadiusY="2″ Fill="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,1″>
<RotateTransform Angle="{Binding Path=Second, Converter={StaticResource timeToAngle}}"/>
<TranslateTransform Y="0″ X="123″/>
We done with graphics in WPF. Let's start it over in Silverlight. We cannot do at least half of what has been done in WPF. MultiBinding is not supported, there is no implicitly templating and Transform class does not support Binding. What to do? Let's remember old good world.
Set the control without using templates, then find resources and save references and set values explicitly (after subscribing to OnPropertyChanged event of cause. Other words, make binding with your own hands.
void onLoaded(object s, RoutedEventArgs e)
mt = ((RotateTransform)FindName("mTransform"));
ht = ((RotateTransform)FindName("hTransform"));
st = ((RotateTransform)FindName("sTransform"));
((NetTimeProvider)Resources["timeProvider"]).PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(Page_PropertyChanged);
RotateTransform mt, ht, st;
void Page_PropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
//Binding to Transform does not supported (yet??);
NetTimeProvider s = sender as NetTimeProvider;
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((SendOrPostCallback) delegate (object o)
NetTimeProvider ntp = o as NetTimeProvider;
if (e.PropertyName == "Hour")
ht.Angle = (ntp.Hour * 30) + (12 * ntp.Minute / 60); ;
else if (e.PropertyName == "Minute")
mt.Angle = ntp.Minute * 6;
else if (e.PropertyName == "Second")
st.Angle = ntp.Second * 6;
}, s);
Now, when we have layout for our Silverlight control, we should connect to distribution network server. Reuse the manager, used for Winforms and WPF? We can't. Silverlight is subset of .NET framework, and it is not relays on it, so we have to write new network provider for Silverlight. UDP is not supported in Silverlight, thus we'll use TCP networking. Let's see what we have. WebRequest/WebResponse HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse – to use it – no. Our server neither HTTP nor Web server. We should use raw sockets in Silverlight. Socket class exists in System.Net dll for Silverlight, however it is very limited. Let's make the connection. First of all, we should know what IP to connect.
Due to security restrictions we cannot do DNS queries in Silverlight. From the other hand we do not want to restrict it to hardcoded name or IP address. In application class of Silverlight we have very handy property, named DnsSafeHost (Application.Current.Host.Source.DnsSafeHost). So let's use it.
What about ports? Can I use TCP socket for any port I want? No. This is another security restriction. The only port range able available for Silverlight is 4502-5432 (only 30 ports). So with those restrictions we'll create the connection as following.
socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
DnsEndPoint ep = new DnsEndPoint(Application.Current.Host.Source.DnsSafeHost, 4502);
SocketAsyncEventArgs args = new SocketAsyncEventArgs()
RemoteEndPoint = ep
args.Completed += onConnected;
Now we should check if the connection is established successfully. The only place we can do it is in onConnected handler. Here also we'll reuse completed event of SocketAsyncArgs to perform read sequence. Upon the end of the handler we'll try to read something from inline socket.
void onConnected(object sender, SocketAsyncEventArgs e)
if (e.SocketError == SocketError.Success)
e.Completed -= onConnected;
e.Completed += onRead;
Message = "Connected";
If you remember in regular framework we can wait on socket. We can do it as well in Silverlight.
void readMoreData(SocketAsyncEventArgs e)
e.SetBuffer(buffer, bytesRead, (buffer.Length – bytesRead));
if (!socket.ReceiveAsync(e))
onRead(socket, e);
Message = "Disconnected";
So, if everything is ok and we have data in the socket, let's read it. There is some fault proofing should be done in it. First we should check if we go all the message. We know, that the message size is 20 bytes (5 integers – we check first four). Then we should check, that the message we got is our message. So in the header we'll check for Magic number. Then if it's ok we'll parse it and fill all properties of our class.
void onRead(object sender, SocketAsyncEventArgs e)
if (e.BytesTransferred > 0)
bytesRead += e.BytesTransferred;
if (bytesRead == 20 && BitConverter.ToUInt32(buffer, 0) == Magic)
Hour = BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 4);
Minute = BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 8);
Second = BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 12);
bytesRead = 0;
If everything fine, we'll return to wait for next message to arrive.
We done. WinForms, WPF and Silverlight speaks over the network one with another, by using TCP and UDP raw sockets. What can be better? When our message is not just clock information, but something related to gaming world (e.g. current position or state of other network players). What am I speaking about? Come to reveal it on my session DEV335: Game Development Using
Microsoft's Latest Technologies in TechEd Israel.
Have a nice day and be good people.

It is a great artical. I want build a standalone silverlight application. But When I use TCP Socket funtions to access a IP device in my LAN it gives AccessDenied error. But I wa able to build a WPF application, and it worked. I use a port (4502 – 4532). The reason to use Silverligt is to convert this application to a VISTA Sidebar Gadget. Any help is appriciated. Thanks

This might not seem very important to every single person but it's important to me. This time I think I have finally found it! So what's this all about? It is a very unique software that you can use in order to make a lot of money online. The more people who use it the more effective it becomes and the more money you can make. In fact, the more people who use the software, the more money everyone makes, with no extra effort! The software just works, and it only takes one click to complete the basic setup. If you want to make more money, then you'll just need to click a few more buttons and enter a little information. You have probably never seen anything quite like this before. You don't even need to spend any money in order to make money with this system. Profit Bank was built to grow on it's own, competition will never be a problem because the more people that use the software the more money you'll end up making. Check It Out -> http://adf.ly/1TyEv

5 Ways to Make New Girl Even Better
Fox's sitcom New Girl is one of our favorite new shows of 2011. The zany comedy puts a quirky spin on the classic hot twenty-somethings-living-in-a-city formula, and this little LA gang has already won our hearts.
However, few shows are perfect from day one, and New Girl still has a few kinks to work out. We're not complaining: any show that makes us laugh this consistently is a-okay with us. However, we do want to see the show reach it's greatest potential, so here are a few suggestions on how it could be even better.
1. Make it a true ensemble show: We have nothing against Zooey Deschanel's Jess. She's generally charming. However, it's her dynamic with her male roommates that really makes the show — and their dynamics with either other, even when she's not around. New Girl has already started moving away from Jess as the central character, embracing it's entire cast almost equally. We hope the trend continues.
2. Focus on the character interactions: We'll be honest: sometimes, Jess' cutesy antics can be grating. So can Schmidt's (Max Greenfield) self-important parading around, and even Nick's (Jake Johnson) woe-is-me attitude. Every character on the show has the potential to fall into overwrought stereotype, and while over-the-top characters can be hilarious in the right context (see: Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson), New Girl's strength lies in feeling just real enough to be plausible. The show is at its best when it focuses on casual banter between the characters, as opposed to single person set pieces.
3. Give the characters more depth. In the same vein, the more we learn about these characters, the more we like them. Believable specificity is the key to great comedic characters. We're sure that depth will come over time — it's already started — but creating complex character doesn't just mean big moments. One of the most telling scenes of the season was when Winston told Nick he liked Paul (Justin Long) because Paul asked Winston's grandfather's name — and then revealed that he knew the name of both of Nick's grandfathers. Nick, of course, had no idea about Winston's grandfather. It was a small moment, but said a lot about both characters. We want to see more interactions like that.
4. Keep mixing it up. Ensemble sitcoms have a tendency to fall into patterns, relying on the same few character combinations over and over again. This is necessary to some degree, but it's an easy way to become stale quickly. We're already seeing some combinations come to forefront on New Girl (Jess and Nick, Schmidt and Nick, Schmidt and Cece), and while we don't have a problem with them, we hope the writers remember to keep mixing it up. Look at the hilarity that resulted when Jess and Winston (Lamorne Morris) teamed up in Season 1, Episode 7, "Bells." More of that, please.
5. Be wary of romance. Nick's failed attempt to have casual sex with an incomprehensibly sarcastic bartender? Hilarious. Nick's ex-girlfriend angst? Boring. Again, this is a case of everything in moderation. Dating will always have a place on the show, but one of the weaknesses in the pilot was the emphasis on Jess and Nick's romantic lives, and the show has gotten increasingly hilarious as it moves away from that focus. (Again: Look at "Bells," which didn't mention romance once). We hope New Girl maintains a balance that puts a sizable emphasis on the non-dating foibles of everyday life.

The Bachelorette
Ali Fedotowsky Has Goofy Girl Time, Misses Facebook — Cute Pic of the Day!
Ali Fedotowsky may have left Jake Pavelka for her (now former) job at Facebook, but she never left her girlfriends from The Bachelor Season 14. She regularly tweets about her friends Valishia Savage and Kathryn Sherlock and shared a cute "girl time" photo of herself with Kathryn and buddy Caitie.
The Season 6 Bachelorette also joked (or not) about missing Facebook by sharing a link to the page "Get Ali Fedotowsky Her Job at FACEBOOK BACK!" with the note, "Sooo...with Facebook's IPO coming up is it too late for me to push for this? LOL ;) Happy for all my former coworkers!"
You know, we suggested five guys for Ali to date in the (sniff) post-Roberto Martinez world and one of the suggestions was Mark Zuckerberg. She defended him when The Social Network came out and it looks like he could net $28 billion from Facebook's initial public offering. Just sayin', Ali. Might wanna make a set up a congratulatory meeting for coffee...

essjay, Oh Gareth Gates. That was Pop Idol wasn't it?
Sarah, yesh I'm not really loving it either, but I do like it.
Leona, haha, yeah, I change my mind a lot! I like Ambrose a lot, and Leon is super cute (but I prefer Leopold and Leonidas. Leon super cute nickname though!) and Emeric is very cool. Linden is so pretty, but too pretty for me.
Kitty, yay! Another Gareth fan. I am not in the love camp yet, but it is growing on me everytime I say it. I think it's the th-sound, I'm a huge fan of it.[FONT=Palatino Linotype][CENTER]My darling Marian Illyria Aphrodite, March 2013 & Little Bunny (a girl!) due 9th of February 2014[/CENTER][/FONT]

I think the sounds of Rosalind and Gareth really compliment each other. The have the same amount of heaviness and both seem very antique (these are good things, I like names with more consonants than vowels). To me, however, it feels very very country southern, and I'm not sure why!! Maybe my brain automatically leaps to Garth?? Seeing how we're in different countries I can't imagine that matters very much."And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others."

By Kathleen T. RhemAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 9, 2006 Just as noncommissioned officers and petty officers are the backbone of the U.S. military, they also are increasingly becoming the backbone of NATO, a top U.S. NCO said here today.
Marine Sgt. Maj. Alford L. McMichael, senior noncommissioned officer for NATO's Allied Command for Operations, is at the forefront of that effort. He spoke during a conference of service senior enlisted advisors and combatant command senior enlisted leaders meeting at the Pentagon this week.
McMichael is a former sergeant major of the Marine Corps. He assumed his current position in September 2003 and is the first senior enlisted advisor to the NATO operational commander.
He began his briefing by describing some challenges facing NATO and an presenting overview of how the alliance has changed focus in the past few decades. For starters, decisions are not made with the concept of "majority rules" within NATO, but only by unanimity among the 26 member nations. "Everyone in the room, every nation, has to agree on any proposal," he said.
In 1989, when the Cold War ended, many in the world questioned the necessity for such an alliance. "We had no enemy," McMichael said, "or at least no enemy with a return address."
Ten years later, when NATO led operations to end ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, the tide of relevancy was turning for the Atlantic alliance, and member states began to realize they needed to get outside their comfort zone, McMichael said.
The true turning point came with the November 2002 summit in Prague, Czech Republic. The sergeant major said that summit "changed NATO forever." Leaders of member nations recognized they needed to downsize -- of 3 million uniformed members of member states, only 30 percent were combat ready -- and globalize. The idea for the NATO Response Force also came out of that summit.
McMichael today called that response force NATO's "golden jewel." He explained that the force basically fulfills the same role as a Marine expeditionary unit: able to stand up and deploy anywhere in the world within five days and then sustain itself for 30 days.
Another significant change was a realization that NATO forces needed to build a professional NCO corps. Since McMichael was appointed to his position, he has worked to model NCO training programs on U.S. military NCO professional development programs.
"It works for us, and it will work for them," he said.
NATO countries are working together to develop a common standard for NCOs to accept responsibility and successfully execute any mission. NCOs from many NATO nations now receive training in management and leadership techniques to help those NCOs become "the single most effective combat multiplier in the NATO alliance," McMichael said.
He said the seven nations that joined NATO in March 2004 are among the fastest to accept the idea of a professional NCO corps. "We went into it as a team" with those countries, he said.
The sergeant major said he believes the true benefit of these efforts will become evident in future combined operations. "When your soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines see it on the battlefield, that's when it'll pay off," he said. "They won't be with someone on the battlefield with the same pay grade but with no understanding of their level of responsibility."
Still, McMichael said, it's a challenge to ensure these efforts aren't "misconstrued as just another 'ugly American' idea being forced down their throats."
Mobile teams for training and education include 32 instructors from 14 nations, he said.
"Our biggest challenge in the future is not to make it appear that it's the U.S. way or no way," he said, but to bring the other member nations along willingly toward the common goal of a professional NCO corps.
With NATO now sharing in responsibility for training Iraqi forces, McMichael was at the first Iraqi-forces graduation under the NATO Training Mission in Iraq. He said he was impressed with the Iraqi troops' dedication to their cause. "They were pumped up," he said. "You could see it in their eyes."
Still, he added, he is a strong proponent for adding a strong NCO corps to the training plan. "We're training them without a Sergeant York," he said, without a sergeant to "put foot in butt and make sure their rifles are loaded."
McMichael said he believes a development program for a strong NCO corps only improves combat effectiveness in a force. "We need to all speak a common language" to work together effectively, he said of allies working together. "We don't have time to be saying, ... 'Stay out of my (area of operations)' to each other."

As we approach the anniversary of 9/11, everyone will pause to remember something about that dreadful day. Whether it's what you were doing the exact moment the news broke, the feelings going through you as the horror of it all set in, the gratitude towards those risking their lives to save others, sadness for the victims and their families, etc. What most people probably won't remember are the silent heroes of that day – the 9/11 search and rescue dogs. There were hundreds of 9/11 search and rescue dogs and their handlers that came from all over the country and worked tirelessly to find survivors in the rubble. 10 years later these dogs are retired, and only a handful of them are still living. Charlotte Dumas, a Dutch photographer, is paying tribute to these heroes in a book called "Retrieved", set to release this week. Photos of the surviving dogs are featured in the book. You can see a sample of these photos at:
Humans weren't the only ones emotionally affected by the disaster. Search and rescue dogs are trained to find survivors. When dogs would go long periods with out finding anyone, they would start to get depressed. Handlers set up mock searches so that the dogs could find someone alive and renew their spirits to keep going.
To See pictures of the 9/11 search and rescue dogs during the search and learn more about the search click on the picture below:
Aside from the search and rescue dogs, there were cadaver dogs and therapy dogs. There is even a heroic story of a seeing eye dog, Roselle, that escorted her blind owner down 1,463 stairs and safely got him out of the North Tower before it collapsed.
So when you are remembering that fateful day, include our furry friends in your thoughts and prayers. If you have a heart warming 9/11 dog story to share, please feel free to comment below.

WASHINGTON — A self-described conservative Republican who is a manager in the Internal Revenue Service office that targeted tea party groups told investigators that he, not the White House, set the review in motion, the top Democrat on the House watchdog committee said Sunday.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., released a partial transcript of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform interview with the unnamed manager in the IRS' Cincinnati office. In it, the employee said the extra scrutiny for tea party groups' tax exempt status was an effort to be consistent in reviewing applications and not driven by politics.
"He is a conservative Republican working for the IRS. I think this interview and these statements go a long way to what's showing that the White House was not involved in this," Cummings said.
"Based upon everything I've seen, the case is solved. And if it were me, I would wrap this case up and move on, to be frank with you," Cummings added.
In the five-hour interview conducted last week, the manager said one of his employees brought to him a tea party group's application for tax exempt status. The manager said he recognized the political implications of the decision and flagged it for an office in Washington. Some Republicans have suggested that the Washington office initiated the close examination.
Republicans have complained the IRS targeted tea party groups because they are critical of Democrats and President Barack Obama. An internal IRS report found the agency improperly targeted the small-government advocates for additional scrutiny.
The uproar forced out the acting IRS chief and put the White House on the defensive against those who suggested Obama was using the government to go after political enemies.
Sunday's release of yet another partial transcript was unlikely to quiet those critics.
"The American public wants to know why targeting occurred and who was involved," said oversight chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., in statement released Sunday. "The testimony excerpts Ranking Member Cummings revealed today did not provide anything enlightening or contradict other witness accounts. The only thing Ranking Member Cummings left clear in his comments today is that if it were up to him the investigation would be closed."
Oversight committee investigators have now interviewed at least five IRS employees about targeting conservative groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 elections. Some employees said they believed that officials in Washington were directing their work but didn't show any direct evidence to support their statements.
Cummings and Issa have been releasing portions of interviews that back up their assertions. But neither has released full transcripts, making it difficult to discern a complete story. Also, the portions released tend to offer employees' views on what was happening, not definitive orders that directed them to scrutinize closely tea party applications.
Cummings declined to release the full transcript of the interview he posted on Democrats' oversight website.
A Cummings spokeswoman, Jennifer Hoffman, declined to release the employees' identity.
In the 15-page memo describing their interview with the manager, Democrats on the committee said they were withholding the employee's name at the request of the IRS.
Cummings appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" and CBS' "Face the Nation."

An unusually wet summer should help skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes at Pajarito Mountain earlier than they have in years.
Pajarito's ownership has targeted Thanksgiving as its opening weekend this season. "It will depend a lot on Mother Nature and cold weather," Pajarito General Manager Tom Long said. "In the past we've had the cold weather, just not a lot of water."
Water for snowmaking, however, won't be a problem this year. As of Wednesday, the snowmaking pond had 6 million gallons of water in it, 12 times more water than it had last year.
"All of this water has been very good to us," Long said. "That's the most we've had in a number of years. We're really excited for snowmaking."
If the wet weather continues through monsoon season, the pond may reach its capacity.
"We're optimistically anticipating a full pond," Long said.
Besides the natural runoff and rainwater the pond has collected, an enhanced water collection system has also helped fill the pond. The mountain got a new 1.5 horsepower pump that has helped Pajarito take full advantage of its collection gallery around the mountain.

Newspaper headlines have recently declared that Canada has managed to avoid a technical recession, but there is no doubt that 2008 has seen a slowing of the Canadian economy and recent world-wide financial turmoil likely means that 2009 will not be much better. After years of fast-paced growth and ready access to financing on favourable terms, experts are predicting that the effect of the global "credit crisis" will materialize in Canada and B.C. in the form of an increased number of Mergers & Acquisitions transactions involving financially distressed targets. Specifically, as a result of banks tightening their lending standards and credit spreads and reducing their exposure in certain industries, over-leveraged companies may begin to find it challenging to secure credit on manageable terms. These and other financial constraints may threaten enterprise viability and make insolvency an unfortunate reality for such companies.
During past economic downturns, complicated restructurings and liquidations were par for the course. However, the current indicators are that distressed sales will become the preferred deal structure for addressing the problems facing financially troubled companies. Distressed M & A transactions involve the management-led sale of a financially troubled company as a going concern. The exact structure of the transaction may take a variety of forms, but the primary consideration for both the distressed company and any potential acquiror will be timing. An early and focussed strategy is critical not only for a distressed business to maximize recovery value but also for potential acquirors to gain advantage over other bidders. Given the importance of timing, it is crucial for both parties to understand the key factors set out below when considering the purchase and sale of a financially distressed enterprise.

Lana Del Rey – Another Seductive Voice of the Illuminati???
2:37 PM | Posted by Acebeats | | Edit Post
She's beautiful, talented, and unique… with an intriguing persona and a voice to match. However, the sultry songbird known as Lana Del Rey is more than just a charming face. There's evidence that she may be another young sex symbol that is involved with the Illuminati. Born Lizzy Grant, she finally rose to fame in 2012 under the moniker "Lana Del Rey" after several failed attempts to become mainstream in the music industry. Her first full length entitled "Born to Die" was released in 2012 and received critical acclaim for its unique combination of music genres and enigmatic lyrics. It still remains a mystery how 27 year old Lana Del Rey became famous in such a short period of time, besides having several promotional videos on the internet long before she catapulted to stardom. Could her overnight success and revamped persona be linked to a pact with the Illuminati? Very possible...
In her music video "Born to Die," she makes several hand gestures resembling the horned figure Baphomet which is a common idol of the Illuminati. This capture below is the most evident one; however it can only be seen briefly in the music video at the 55 second mark.
In the photo below, she is mimicking the Baphomet horns again.
Still not convinced? Well there's a lot more evidence.
What's this? She is covering one eye to insinuate the "All-Seeing Eye", the most recognized symbol of the Illuminati.
In this wallpaper, the All-Seeing Eye is present again, this time inside a triangle. The triangle (or pyramid) is also a widely recognized symbol of the Illuminati, representing their elite power and the rest of society below them. Notice how the eye is bleeding to mock the bleeding of Jesus Christ's crucifixion.
Here she is shown placing two fingers over her mouth, representing the "Vow of Silence." Many Illuminati members use this gesture is to convey the message of staying silent about the Illuminati's existence and power.
Again, she is shown using the same gesture.
There is another thing that is worth mentioning, and it's Lana Del Rey's tattoo. As you can see in the photograph above, she has "Die Young" tattooed across her finger, which is also the title of Ke$ha's controversial music video that conveys massive Illuminati imagery. This could merely be a coincidence, but there is the possibility that "Die Young" has a subliminal meaning among the young Illuminati members. Since these young entertainers are allowing themselves to be controlled by the elitists, there is always the possibility of them being killed by their puppeteers if they decide to leave or expose the secret society. Perhaps poor Lana Del Rey is aware of such a fate, since it seems she has become a useful instrument of the Illuminati.

text: Hey everyone. I'm taking a little must needed Vacation time from my slave job at Rite Aid and thought it would be cool to go hang out at the park on a weekday for a change. I'm meeting up with Barfownz that day and was wondering if anybody else wanted to show up and hang in case the little runt annoys me to the point that I need to drown him in ROA.....I need someone for an alibi.
