Mary Alice Stephenson, co-host of America's Most Smartest Model, is a fashion industry insider whose smart looks and smart tongue control her show's pretty people. The show's over, folks, and V.J. won. Here's what Mary Alice had to say about V.J.'s achievement, Andre's attempt, and how the spoils go to the victor. Honi soit qui mal y pense!
VH1: V.J.'s victory has upset a lot of people. He wasn't the most gracious champion.
Mary Alice Stephenson: People forget that Ben and I don't see the reality, and so to us, V.J. was the strongest, both in terms of the edge challenges and the call-back challenges. He was the one either winning or in the top two or top three every single time. In front of us, he always handled every situation with respect. Neither Ben nor I saw his post-interviews. So to us, he was the smartest model in a lot of the challenges, and he was always very gracious. We didn't see what he was saying behind the scenes.
VH1: Andre almost pulled it off. What did you think about his use of Pickel?
MAS: Andre had a really great chance. Although it was very smart to use Pickel in some ways, it got a little crazy when Andre tried to take the reins back. That's when he started going off about things that weren't about him at all. He started going on and on about V.J. cheating, and about how he should be the winner, but not in a sophisticated or elegant way. It did turn us all off. But it could have gone either way. Andre was an incredible model. He's amazing in front of the camera. He'll have a big career as a Boss model. V.J. still has a lot to learn about being a model, but we had to look at all the challenges throughout the entire competition. We made our choice.
VH1: V.J.'s behavior was, at times, reprehensible.
MAS: Was V.J. sneaky? In seeing the show, there were certain things I absolutely would not haved liked or condoned about his behavior, had I known about them. I don't think he ever broke the rules. I just think that V.J. is young, and he was immature in how he acted around the other kids. I think it came from the fact that he needed the money so bad. He wasn't going to be Mr. Nice Guy. I told V.J. at the party which we just had [celebrating the finale of America's Most Smartest Model], "V.J., you need to wash your mouth out with soap!" I told his mom, too. That was one of the hardest things for me — seeing the whole show for the first time as the audience viewed it, watching the post-interviews and learning how aggressive V.J. could be verbally. That comes from immaturity and being pushed by producers to say certain things. He really came across as cocky. That's not cool. You can be confident, but to be cocky and rude about other people is not good in my books.
VH1: Do you think he cheated?
MAS: I do not think that V.J. cheated. I do think that he was sneaky and may have been disrespectful to the other models. But he was the most competitive, and a lot of the things he did he made work for himself. I might have had a different opinion had I seen the reality, but I didn't. That wasn't part of the game.
VH1: What about Andre? He started out on very rocky footing.
MAS: If I had seen the footage of Andre fighting with Daniel and Lisa, he would have been out at the very beginning of the show. I would have walked out if he hadn't been asked to leave. That's why the producers kept Ben and I away. They had to make a TV show and they wanted the craziness. They wanted it to get raw and emotional. They knew that if Ben and I saw that stuff, it would change the way we thought about certain contestants. So there were a lot of things that I saw when the show aired that, if I had known they were going on at the time, would have induced me to keep certain contestants longer and alter our opinions about others. We really only based our decisions on those challenges.
VH1: Have you seen the contestants since?
MAS: All the models were at the V05 party we just had. V.J.'s family was there. He was hanging with all the other models, and everyone seemed to be friends. Actually, a few of them had made life-long friends out of this experience. As everyone knows, Pickel and Brett are living together. I saw Rachel, Lisa and Mandy-Lynn. They all look great and have exciting projects on the go. Erika looked amazing. She's a little superstar. It was fun to see everyone. There were certain things about the show that some people didn't like, but it was a TV show. There were times when I was really upset about how I was edited to be so strong, and how many of the nice things I said had to be taken out, but it was a TV show, and we all signed up for it, and we all knew it was on VH1. We all knew it was going to get a little crazy.
VH1: You're happy with your choice?
MAS: V.J. did well time and time again. It wasn't about favoritism. He was just winning the challenges and was great in front of Ben and I. I think he's going to be a star. He signed with Ford Models, which is very hard to do in Hollywood. He's got a great management team. He was real sweet in front of everyone at the party. I met his mom, his brothers and sisters, and his girlfriend. V.J.'s a model, but he's an actor, too. He was smart enough to create a character that the cameras loved and know that Ben and I wouldn't see it in his interviews. He got a lot of camera time as a result. He was fiercely competitive. I know that we made the right choice. At the end, he was clearly the winner. I wish him the best. I know that we'll hear from him again.

Chris Mathes and Dexter Lunceford
ELIZABETHTON — There has been much discussion in the Carter County Courthouse over the past week about two sets of raises Sheriff Chris Mathes approved for his men in July and August. The sheriff said he planned to use the salary in the chief deputy's line item to pay for the raises and not fill the chief deputy position, balancing his budget.
One person has been conspicuously absent during the conversations. That is Sheriff-elect Dexter Lunceford, who will take over the sheriff's department Sept. 1.
Lunceford has been out of town for the past several days, attending the Tennessee Sheriff's Association convention. When he returned to Elizabethton on Thursday afternoon and was asked to comment on the controversy, he declined to add his voice to the conversation.
"No comment," Lunceford said. When prodded about whether he was concerned about the financial changes, Lunceford said "If there is something that needs to be fixed, I will fix it on Sept. 1," Lunceford said.
While he would not join the commentary on the pay raises, Lunceford did say there has not been any transitioning between the old and new administrations and he has not had the chance to inspect the facilities, including the jail.
The raises were submitted directly to the County Finance Department in two batches. The first was 44 pay increases submitted July 29, a week before the election. There was another batch Aug. 12, but Finance Director Ingrid Deloach said some of those had to be rejected because they were not within the budget.
Some officials in county government called the pay raises into question because they were never approved by the county Budget Committee.
Mathes said Monday that he saw an opportunity to give his officers raises when Chief Deputy Ron Street told him he was planning to retire.
The raises will make the budget more difficult for Lunceford, who has already announced he will fill the chief deputy position with James Parrish, who bowed out of the sheriff's race before the primary in May and threw his support to Lunceford.

Thank you for cooking for taste and not a handful of people! Might I suggest you get your vegetarian fries there and let a chef cook!
Posted by Glenn Meyers on 11/14/2013
Having heard about this restaurant from friends, we were excited to try it. However, based on some of the reviews on here (although most are over a year old) we were skeptical. Deciding to take our friends recommendation, we headed out to the Flatiron to dine at Greensquare Tavern. The atmosphere is cozy. The staff was extremely friendly, unpretentious and very helpful. We sat in a corner table in the dining room. The room was filled, but didn't feel overcrowded. We were treated to a sumptuous Scallop apertif by Chef Ryan. It was grilled to perfection-melted in our mouths..it sat atop the most tasty Kale I've eaten in a while. We decided to sample as much of the menu as possible, so we shared 6 dishes..including the dip platter for 2... Although only my friend ate the Grilled Octopus -the servings were large enough for us all to feel completely satiated. There were 3 unique combinations of t Facacia bread samplers..The best among them, was inspiring, with Bacon over a creamy butternut squash...superb!! Meatballs in marinara sauce..tasty and substantial, Short rib lettuce wraps (both wives LOVED this), Succulent Duck Breast (the wife declined this one)and the Roasted Chicken, rounded our tasting. We had a delicious Cabernet to go with our meal (the managers suggestion, sorry but I did forget the name..but it was fairly priced and went nicely with all our food. All in all we were quite pleased. We will be returning...soon!

I've eaten at the restaurant numerous times at lunch time and it was delicious, so I kept coming back for the vegan burger. The last visit, it was extremely noisy, could not have a conversation and the vegan burger was disappointing, along with the expired greens that accompanied it, and it was served on an egg bun on the whole grain bun advertised, so it wasn't vegan. We told the waiter, who let the manager know, and called the chef to speak with us. It was awkward, but he comped the sandwiches, which was very nice. I hope the quality improves, as it is a nice restaurant.

I was excited to try this restaurant as I heard they had a good brunch and several vegetarian/vegan options. We walked in on a Saturday night at about 8:10 pm. Looking into the restaurant and even once inside, it looked completely empty. We were taken to a table towards the back of the restaurant. If I wasn't with someone who'd been there before, I probably would've left - it's not a great sign to be empty at this time of the night. However, there were a handful of people seated in the back. I thought it strange to seat them all out of view. Anyway, I ordered the Vegan Stew. It had no seasoning, and the portion was tiny. It didn't have any kale (which was listed as one of the first ingredients) and just three leaves of spinach. It was also ridiculously priced at $20. It was basically an unseasoned small soup bowl filled with beans. It was something I would expect from a can of Progresso, but the Progresso would've at least been seasoned. Did I mention it was $20? I left hungry and felt completely taken.

After walking by this restaurant numerous times, I finally stopped in last weekend. The manager was so accommodating of our double stroller (twins!) and the staff really made us feel welcome. But the best part was that our dinner was great - enough so that I decided to go back a few days later sans kids to try their breakfast with a friend. Again, the service and quality of food exceeded my expectations. Give it a try if you haven't already.

When I found out that they cook their fries in grass-fed beef fat I rejoiced! Would that vegan prefer gmo canola or gmo soybean oil instead? This is the best possible place to go in south midtown. This place is amazing...go, go now. Amazing values for lunch as well.
Posted by anonymous on 07/25/2011
Greensquare Tavern is a really cute place and the service was great during our lunch yesterday. The server was so friendly. My complaint is that Greensquare Tavern fries their french fries in beef fat - yuck. Please change that. Your veggie burger is really good, and would be even better if one could get a side of french fries w/their veggie burger. I mean, burger and fries go well together, yes? Why offer a veggie burger, that you label as "vegan", and then only have french fries cooked in beef fat? Weird.

I purposely spend time on the internet - not only with my site but visiting all the other drummer sites.
I remember going to Yugoslavia in '86 (when it WAS Yugoslavia)
and playing at a music festival with saxaphonist Bill Evans SuperGroup. I moved to LA and Dennis replaced me... bummer :(
(he IS pretty good though, huh? :D)
Some of the drummers there had never even seen a picture of Buddy Rich - let alone heard many drummers in person! Yet they were asking me about Buddy and others...
I remember giving all my sticks and extras away to drummers who were playing taped together stickes that I would've thrown out ages ago. My point is - the internet has provided us all with information and the world is changing. Sometimes I am afraid of where we are going in our wacky world - but I KNOW I can always count on ourselves, (us drummers) to get along and grow together. I think it's up to us how we use the internet - but it is a potentially wonderful thing! Bernhard has given us the biggest and best and fastest conduit around! Thanks Mr. B!
So here we go!... Let's share more info. I am happy to give my 2 cents-answer to any question. Feel free to dish away. If I have strayed away - come over to my site and reel me in! You know, answering questions (or teaching) only firms up one's self-beliefs! So I gain from this as well. And with that - I'll say - THANKS!
wow . you remember my country . im from yugoslavia ! welcome !

Kareena Kapoor who recently got married to fellow actor Saif Ali Khan has dismissed rumors that her life only centers around her immediate ones and that she prefers to remain aloof from the film fraternity. The actress responded that although she had married and had her change in her priorities this did not rule out the possibility of her having a life beyond matrimony.
The actress said that she shares a very cordial relation with her fellow co-stars but maintained a line as to where work is concerned and where family is. The actress also added that she endeavored not appear to be solitary or egoistic as some might put. "I am a part of the industry and my priority is to work as an actor, employed by the industry. I'm not over-friendly with anyone, but cordial. I don't involve myself into anyone's personal space because I don't want others to get into mine. I have a life outside of films."
The actress added "Some of my friends are from the industry but most of them are not. So that is what I cherish. I want to keep it like that – go to work, come back home and let my days work do most of the talking"

By the incredible margin of 65.6 percent – 34.4 percent, voters in Ohio approved an amendment to "preserve the freedom of Ohioans to choose their health care and health care coverage." The amendment was deliberately written so that voters would view voting for it as a way to reject of the individual mandate in "Obamacare."
The Affordable Care Act's individual mandate was rejected by the same electorate that also voted 61.3 percent to 38.7 percent to preserve public sector unions and their collective bargaining rights by repealing the Republican approved law, SB 5. As strongly pro-union as this electorate was, it was even more anti-individual mandate.
This also means that of the over 2 million Ohioans who went to the polls to vote to protect union rights, at least 40 percent of them also voted to oppose the individual mandate.
Forces in favor of health care reform chose not to contest the measure, because its passage would not change anything; federal law supersedes state law. But the results still show how deeply unpopular the mandate provision is with the American people. Even in an election where turnout was mainly driven by labor unions mobilizing their left leaning supporters, the idea of the individual mandate was rejected by a huge margin.
Over a year after its passage the individual mandate remains an massive albatross around the neck of the Affordable Care Act, killing popular support for the law. If only some progressive group had repeatedly tried to warn Democrats about the danger of including it in the final bill . . . oh wait . . .
Anyone saying the vote yesterday in Ohio was purely good news for the Obama 2012 campaign should keep in mind that the voters of Ohio also rejected Obama's signature policy by roughly the same margin by which they rejected Republican Gov. John Kasich's signature anti-union law.

In 2009 Giorgio Armani sailed around the Croatian coast of Dalmatia. He docked his boat in Split on the Eastern coast of the Adriatic sea, in the hope of finding inspiration for his next collection. The following year, his Couture A/W10 show featured camel, gold and toffee tones to the tune of "A play on Amber", as though the Croatian beaches had been encapsulated within the tuck of a satin drape or the twinkle of an amber brooch. His A/W10 womenswear collection notably showcased orange mohair and vibrant red ponyskin, echoing the Croatian sunset.
This season, the womenswear collection once again demonstrates bright hues against a signature black backdrop. Contrasting fur and leathers – brushed calfskin and striped and spotted pony skin – in a colour palette of coral pink, burning orange and Schaparelli shocking pink.
"AnOther took this season's footwear to the Croatian coast of Split to photograph them against the same rocky beach on Marjan Hill that Armani visited in 2009"
AnOther took this season's footwear to the Croatian coast of Split to photograph them against the same rocky beach on Marjan Hill that Armani visited in 2009. Often called "The Lungs of the City," Marjan Hill leads up into a pine forest surrounded by sea and sand. The scenic destination is known for its sweeping views and tranquility: "It is a small hill where people run and cycle, ," explains photographer Bruna Kazinoti. "I shot the shoes at seven am and there were already people swimming. It's a great place to jump in the sea. Placing the shoes on the beach stones allowed the golden toes and bright colours to shine, making them seem alive."
Featuring a double-buckle Derby shoe, a calf-skin loafer and a lace-up creeper with a vibrant red front, the collection features androgynous styles with a subtle heel, low platform and graphic colour combination. "I like the red shoe with the golden point; it is like a piece of furniture," Kazinoti comments, "it is simplicity with feeling."

Jay-Z on J. Cole's Grammy Nominations: 'He's Already Won Best New Artist'
Within the last two years, J. Cole has managed to capture the attention of hip- hop heads, get the approval of Jay-Z and sign to Roc Nation and release his first studio album 'Cole World: The Sideline Story,' which made its debut at number one. The certified golden rap phenom also grabbed his first Grammy nomination for 'Best New Artist.'
Jay-Z recently spoke to MTV and expressed how happy he was for his artist J. Cole to get a Grammy nomination but in his book he already proved he's the 'Best New Artist.'
I think it's great for him, because I'm sure it's a dream of his. We grew up seeing Michael Jackson, and I'm sure he grew up seeing whatever moment stuck in his mind, so I know it's great for him to do that. I think he's already won Best New Artist, to me. His journey is what I'm really excited about because it's real. The person he is today is not who he was when he first walked in. He got a chance to really go out, see what worked, see what people connect to, figure out how he was gonna tell his story.
That artist-development thing, I think we need more of it because we need to ensure that this thing is around for future generations. This thing that fed our kids and our family and took us to these heights needs to be held intact by the people who are doing it. I just think it was a great journey for him. Whether he was nominated or not, he was the best new artist to me; sold 200-and-something-thousand records in his first week; he the best new artist but I'm sure it's great for him.

I love this wax. It takes a little more patience when removing but it's real nice. Smells good, not synthetic. I recommend scraping it pretty quickly as soon as it gets cloudy. I've used a plastic blade no problems, metal is for P-Tex not wax. Due to it's thick nature it also makes a great storage wax when you aren't sending em.

What's the Difference Between Boxed, Canned, and Powdered Coconut Milk?
Ingredient Intelligence
Coconut milk is a pantry staple for us — there are so many delicious ways to cook with it! You can even make your own coconut milk at home. But if you're buying it at the store, should you get the kind in a can or a box? What about BPA? And did you know it also comes in powdered and concentrated forms? We've sorted out the pros and cons of each.
I Spent All Day Shopping So I Could Cook from Pok Pok, and It Was Worth It.
Cookbook Review
Cookbook: Pok Pok: Food and Stories from the Streets, Homes, and Roadside Restaurants of Thailand by Andy Ricker with J.J. Goode
Overall Impression: The Thai cookbook I've been waiting for. A little maddening in the demands it makes on the cook, but oh the food!
We all have have gateway foods and recipes, the ones that led us into a deeper interest in cooking. Mine was Thai food. Coming from a white bread Midwest background, I hesitated for years before trying spicy foods, and then a friend introduced me to great Thai food on a trip to Los Angeles, and it was all over. I found I craved the salty, spicy, sweet, and sour pungency that many classic Thai dishes elevate to a sustained pitch of perfection. But Thai, like many East and South Asian cuisines, lacks, in my mind, a great translator to bring those flavors to Western kitchens.
So when chef Andy Ricker's cookbook, named after his Pok Pok restaurants, came out last fall I couldn't wait to get my hands on the book. Was it the manual to Thai food that I was waiting for?
How Do I Make a Thicker, Silkier Thai Curry?

Q: I've been experimenting with making Thai-style curries at home. I've got the curry paste, and coconut milk, and the flavors seem there, but the texture is off. I want to get that thick, silky curry texture, but how?

Finding the Christmas Spirit in Thailand
Christmas Around the World
While Thais might not spend the winter holidays sledding in snow or kissing whiskies by the fire, they are generally a fun-loving nation of people who welcome any excuse for a party and Christmas is no exception. Thai people happily take up any opportunity to indulge in more festive, twinkling lights.
Despite the tropical climes, Christmas trees abound — the plastic kind, of course— and the bigger and brighter, the better.

Ah, the Espresso Martini: A close second in the list of "Drinks Bartenders Hate to Make" after the mojito, of course. Tasty drink, however and probably the only sweet drink I'll order. Also Charlotte, if you don't mind the question; where are you from? I'm having struggle pinpointing your accent.

Looks lovely. This drink has inspired me to use up my bottle of RinQuinQuin before it goes bad. I just tried the bottle and it's still okay but I'll have to rush. I think it would work well in this drink, with the peach of the RinQuinQuin complementing the Aperol quite nicely.

Funny you should have the problems you've had ordering a martini. I've had people ask me for a "dry martini." It was only after confused stares when I asked what their favourite gin was that I came to the realisation they wanted Martini Extra Dry on ice with lemon. Usually this is a problem with Eastern Europeans.
Fourth Regiment Cocktail 1 Sep 2011
6:49 am
Haven't compared the Celery Bitters to each other, but after trying Fee's Orange and TBT Orange found the latter to be far superior. I will certainly be buying the bigger bottle to fill my own Travel Set back up when it runs low.
Fourth Regiment Cocktail 1 Sep 2011
3:20 pm
Fee's Orange is certainly very sweet (Not as much as their Peach, which I could probably drink neat) and I'm putting this down to the high level of glycerin used in Fee's products combined with the subsequent lower ABV. I bought Angostura Orange because it was cheap - <£6 - compared to TBT at more than double that. However if I could have tasted them both, I would have saved up for TBT. It just seems more rounded. Exactly like orange oils. I'm yet to try Regan's.

Hi, I had to finally join up after watching nearly every video on the side. Interesting looking and simple cocktail, Robert. Luckily Sloe Gin is easy to find in England. Sadly we pay a premium for Bourbon... I saw this juicer in the cookshop when I was buying. I nearly got it, but it was £20, opposed to the Mexican juicer at £8, so I went for the cheaper one. I was also dubious about the hinge being a pain to clean, but I'm pretty lazy! Keep up the good work. I wish you had more than one update per week! Adam

I know I didn't need to, but was having so much fun, I didn't realise I could chat to you lot as well. I've learnt lots and hope to learn more. Gordon's Sloe is available in big supermarkets over here and usually on offer as it obviously doesn't sell too well. I can't comment on it other than we use it in a Champagne cocktail at work. Seems pleasant enough in that drink.

I might just chime in from the back and express my love for The Bitter Truth's range, too. I've got my eye on some Jerry Thomas bitters on eBay and the Grapefruit and Lemon bitters are on my "list". I was talked into buying the Travel Set and now they go everywhere with me when I leave London. It's a brilliant product and great marketing. I will definitely be topping them up with the genuine product when they run out. My only complaint it I don't have a sturdier case for them.
Black Hawk Cocktail 27 Aug 2011
7:05 am
Well, if you look here, The Bitter Truth have launched a new company for the US, where the Travel Set comes in a sturdier, if overly-kitsch tin box. http://www.berg-and-hauck.com/media/bh-presentation.pdf
Black Hawk Cocktail 27 Aug 2011
5:17 pm
The new bitters from The Bitter Truth are still going to be made in Germany, but are going to be available in grocery stores, I think. Something to do with TBT branded bitters being "liquors". You'll understand this better than I. I don't carry around my bitters in London, from day today because if I want a well made cocktail, I'll go somewhere that I know will make me a well made cocktail. However, out of London it's the badlands! When are Moleskine going to produce a bitters pouch? That would me amazing!

The anticipated wave of layoffs at Yahoo has arrived, and it's as big as promised.
The Sunnywale, Calif.-based internet giant announced plans to eliminate 2,000 jobs, or about 14% of its workforce of 14,000.
"Today's actions are an important next step toward a bold, new Yahoo! — smaller, nimbler, more profitable and better equipped to innovate as fast as our customers and our industry require," CEO Scott Thompson, who joined Yahoo in January, said in a statement.
"We are intensifying our efforts on our core businesses and redeploying resources to our most urgent priorities. Our goal is to get back to our core purpose — putting our users and advertisers first."
Thompson didn't offer a lot of detail about just what those more urgent priorities are, but Kara Swisher has reported that the brunt of the cuts will fall on Yahoo's products division, a unit that includes its media operations. Yahoo's spending on original news content has been stop-and-start, but as of last week Robertson Barrett, who runs Yahoo's news and finance sites, told me he was planning to expand staff considerably in both areas.
Yahoo says the annual savings from this workforce reduction will be about $375 million.
Yahoo's stock is up less than 1% in trading this morning.

Everybody in the newspaper business is trying it - Doing more, with less! - and their work products suffers.
The news-value added by by seasoned reporters is much greater that that offered up by the new J-school graduate. It's that simple.
Like the say down on the Bayou: "You always get what you pay for, or a little bit less."
Mr. Tom has a bit more financial intelligence than that! Not saying that there is not some method in Warren Buffett's financial madness, but he'll likely focus upon streamlining their business operations, rather than radically changing the way they have traditionally produced their valued product.
And you must remember here, most newspapers are "run" by individuals with journalism degrees - not a business class to their credit - so their decisions are typically counterproductive in the long term and that's another reason most have been unionized...
But at this point in our collective-political history it may be the most useful and forward thinking pice of legislation of our lifetimes!
Unfortunately, all of Mr. Buffett's billions couldn't guarantee the "future" of any of America's newspapers.
The problem rests with the demographic which the media serves - many illiterate, thousands-upon-thousands of poor, and millions with too many children to feed, now just trying to work two jobs just to stave off bankruptcy or otherwise survive.
The restful-period of time before, after and sometimes during work, and often prior to a meal, is no more. Our gains in productivity have all but eliminated our personal-disposable time - if we still have a job? And if we don't - we can not budget for them, because the good jobs seldom reach the classified ad string...
But in the alternative - IF you're clean - then testing shouldn't be a problem and simply further proof of a legal lifestyle.
So many more sealed secrets are sure to become available.
I have to wonder how long it will take before more criminal indictments are handed up?
And will any of the higher-ups be cited?
I'd be checking his purported "facts" before I'd jump into his donkey cart...
Well, well.
A reporter should never let the actual facts get in the way of making a biased point in his or her published writings. Someone should be fact checking this OpEd writers copy more closely, and especially when other OpEd writers are quoted.
It seems that Florida does not just issue blanket permits as the writer of this T-P article would have us otherwise believe, quoting and saying:
"The Legislature puts Florida's gun licensing program under the control of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the agency that ensures the safety of fruits and vegetables." (well, not totally, as another State agency can be involved)
"The Orlando Sentinel notes that Floridians can be issued concealed weapons permits without demonstrating the ability to hit a target." (well, not exactly, but the media often wants to move the lines with a sort of "poetic license" they believe they have been granted through the First Amendment)
Today - just like using numbers, case law, or the Bible - playing the "race card" has become an all-too-common way for media pundits to make their point. And common sense has become a distant fifth.
Certainly with any federal concealed carry statute, there must be uniform-minimal qualification provisions with a serial-number specific firearm. That system works for law enforcement personnel and should easily comport with most state regulations.
The days of blanket issuance of CC permits should be numbered, and state reciprocity only granted with compliance to uniform minimum standards.
I'm not an NRA member, but I do atone to responsible gun ownership - and basically, there's nothing wrong with that.
Unfortunately, no matter what the U.S. Congress does to frame our future farm policy, the economic synergy of the commodity markets could override their intent.
For example, last week soybean futures again appeared willing to pass the $15/bushel mark, and corn was trading above $6/bu. Last week farmers in Nebraska had already begun plowing pastures to plant, and in central South Dakota, farmers there (mostly with irrigation and near the Missouri River) had been preparing land to catch spring moisture (rain or snow doesn't matter), so that they could plant no-till corn early!
The economic predicament of U.S. farmers since the mid-1980s has taught many to make all the money they can, whenever they can. So stopping the plow-in-the-field today, may actually be much more difficult with legislation, that an over-abundance of rain!
The truth will be impossible to discover where BP is involved:
Ex-BP Worker Accused of Destroying 2010 Gulf Spill Texts
A former BP Plc (BP/) engineer, Kurt Mix, was arrested today on charges of intentionally destroying evidence requested by U.S. criminal authorities investigating 2010's Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the Justice Department said.
"...I don't want any more stray bullets flying around than we already have. I believe the city/parish should take care of the problem, either through shooting or trapping and removal."
Oh, it wouldn't be that much more dangerous. Remember the nutria removal program that brought national attention to the area? Nobody got shot then, did they?
So just make a law that there can be no "streetscape" or "drive-by shooting" - and make the allowable times from dust-'til-dawn for the lowly coyotes and you should be safe enough.
Besides, it beats the only other most effective option - the Strychnine Hotdog!
Those losses will likely be blamed on BP...
I suspect that you are correct, but it remains an issue the writer should have included in the first two or three paragraphs.
As we gradually divert our natural and financial resources to big business and commercialization in the name of boosting the overall benefit to the public - the greater economic good - one can not help but wonder how much longer such a resource will remain - sustainable.
That's not the point.
If in fact she testified under a subpoena for her appearance and NOPD specifically terminated her employment for that specific involvement in that case - the Police Department has a legal problem. Otherwise, if she appeared under her own free will (without a subpoena being served) she better start praying that her constitutional claim can survive!
The economic impact of such an event likely averages-$300 per day per person, with the guy who owns the 42' Bertram sportfisherman pays more, the bar flies may pay a little less.
So if 5,000 folks stagger into town for a three day-fishing weekend, the economic impact is $4.5 million. But it's the "velocity" of that money (or what some economist call the "multiplier") in a small town that really makes the big difference, because in a small town money changes hands more often since there's less of it! This makes the eventual gross economic impact with what can be a 5X or 6X "multiplier"
$22.5 million to $27 million over the next 12 months - most of which is taxable.
Maybe that's not too much by today's deficit-spending standards, but there are a number of small towns that would like to have a shot at attracting such an event.
You left out the word 'stupid' - between "something" and "happens"
Heaven help us if they ever analyze the Fourth of July on Grand Isle!
No beer on da beach! And absolutely none of those noisy fireworks!
Virtually everything that promotes tourism has a social cost attached, which the taxpayers absorb.
As Mr. Roberts indicated: "... the terms for awarding the permit 'borders on extortion.'" There does exist the real possibility that some power broker now wants a percentage?
We may notice that the late-Rev. Msgr. Jules O. Daigle's spelling for the lowly "coot" as found within "A Dictionary of the Cajun Language" differs slightly from the spelling here, so I may have been confused and entered an incorrect answer above. Or maybe I just never understood how you could "look up" a word you could not spell to begin with?

Carl Dunford
Of course I love my wife,
but there is some thing,
she can't see, what you mean,
to me.
I feel like I have known you before,
in another life I'm sure.
You can even read my mind,
know what I want to say,
you know Iam thinking of you today.
I would help you in times of trouble,
one call and I will be there, on the double.
We used to chat away ,"five hours"
I hear you say.
We talked about this, and that,
yes we did laugh.
we went to Paris, and Rome.
all on our own.
I hope when the time,
is right, we can continue ,
you and me.
Our world is only a click away,
Lets go on a journey,
what do you say?.

Taste Test: The Best Ketchup
For most of us, Heinz is the default ketchup of choice, the one we compare all other ketchups to. It makes sense; the company dominates 60% of the entire ketchup market. But that doesn't mean that there aren't other options out there, and—at least in our local market—Heinz tends to be one of the more expensive brands on the shelf, priced at about 150% compared to its closest comparable competitor. Add on to this the recent backlash against high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and the accompanying influx of both organic brands and brands made with non-HFCS sweeteners, and you've got a few other variables to contend with. Could one of these cheaper or non-HFCS bottles be worth squeezing on our hot dogs or dipping our fries into? More

:: Forum >> Version 2 >>
Behaviour of pasting multiple line text into cell
Copied multiple line text from a text editor (with linux /n and dos /r/n) into the grip with text-wrap. In different browser I get different behaviour:
IE: only 1st line is pasted
Chrome/Firefox: lines are copied, but new lines are converted automatically into space (by browser or by the grid?)
Had a text filter in the grid to convert /n or /r/n into
, but not detecting any from 'text' in
obj.onCellValidated = function(text, column, row){...}
What I am trying to achieve is that user should be able to paste a multi-line text into the grid, and inside the cell, the new lines should be kept in shape.
Sunday, April 1, 2012
Any ideas?
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Not possible directly. When editing a cell, what you get is a standard HTML input tag to edit, paste, etc., that is a one-line only element.
You have to implement something else which handles multiple lines (a textarea as a template for example).
Friday, April 13, 2012
Hi tmtisfree,
you mean current active widgets AW.UI.Grid won't handle this? I know I can get away with a html text box implementation but that defeats the whole idea of spreadsheet behavior of the grid I am trying to implement.
Sunday, April 15, 2012
Yes, no native textarea-like in the grid.
Thursday, April 19, 2012
Fixed this problem myself. Dunt double click when pasting, so browser does not modify the text. then put these in the codes:
var nl = new RegExp(String.fromCharCode(10),"g");
text = text.replace(nl, "\
");
var cr = new RegExp(String.fromCharCode(13),"g");
text = text.replace(cr, "");
So other tweaks to enhance the views (hide
 etc)

Restaurant critic review: Gigi's lives up to all the hype with good food
JENSEN BEACH - Cuisine: Italian
Price range: $5.50-$25.95
Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 4-10 p.m.
Address: 1322 N.E. Jensen Beach Blvd.
Phone: (772) 225-6444
Handicapped access: Yes
Reservations: Recommended
There is nothing that builds up anticipation for food like hearing others rave about it. Before I even had a glass of water in front of me, I overheard a conversation between two tables at Gigi's — an elderly couple commented that they hadn't eaten there in decades, and they were glad to find it's still "the best."
A few minutes later, a happy little girl with spaghetti sauce on her face launched out of her seat, ran a lap around the dining room, and loudly proclaimed "these noodles rock!" My curiosity was piqued. A wall featured newspaper clippings dating to 1985, and the mouthwatering aroma of tomato sauce hung in the air. My guest and I eagerly tore into some fluffy garlic knots, and waited.
We started off with some calamari ($9.95) — no tentacles, for some reason — and a chunky marinara sauce that I really enjoyed.
I had been daydreaming about cannelloni, and was glad to find it on the menu ($11.95). The two large bundles of ground veal, prosciutto and tangy tomato sauce were presented under a molten layer of cheese. It was enough food to share, and satisfied my cravings.
My guest tried the veal Portofino, in a Marsala cream sauce ($17.95). Olives, bell peppers, mushrooms and big pieces of prosciutto rounded out the sweetness of the dish. Paired with a glass of the house Chianti ($4.25), the veal was a hit.
Other items that looked appetizing are the fettuccini elegante, with shrimp, scallops and calamari in gorgonzola cream ($21.95); and the veal dolce vita, baked with layers of ham and eggplant ($17.95).
After tasting for myself, I can confirm the hype about Gigi's is well-earned.
Gigi's serves a variety of pizzas, stromboli, calzone and other doughy favorites in addition to traditional entrees.

- Willamette
- College of Liberal Arts
- Civic Communication and Media
The program in Civic Communication and Media (CCM) examines communicative practices and technologies that foster engagement in civic life. Informed by theories and histories of public discourse, our courses are designed to develop thinkers who understand dynamics of communication and media change and who can apply their insights to contemporary problems.
Civic Communication and Media majors have the opportunity to explore how people devise and use media—whether speeches or tweets—to engage the world, to define and negotiate controversies, to construct identity and community, to develop and circulate arguments, and to effect change. In addition students who select this major examine rhetorical practices through which individuals and groups establish, maintain and challenge structures of power in civic life.
Our courses cultivate engaged practitioners who can analyze and work in multiple forms of communication, who are engaged in public life, and who contribute through research to public conversations about communication and media.
The Civic Communication and Media department, formerly known as Rhetoric and Media Studies, is housed in the College of Liberal Arts, where it serves the educational needs of students and the university community through award winning teaching, research and service. On the vibrant Willamette campus, the Civic Communication and Media department maximizes its location in Ford Hall, a welcoming and technologically advanced LEED Gold building directly across the street from the Oregon State Capitol and the Oregon State Supreme Court. Proximity to state offices and Salem's historic downtown enhance student opportunities for civic engagement.
We invite you to learn more about the Civic Communication and Media department by exploring our web site. We also welcome opportunities to talk with you on campus and to connect with you via social media.

The Collated Hadith of Isra' and Mi`raj
Say: a`udhu bi wajhillahi al-karim wa bi kalimatillahi al-tammat al-lati la yujawizuhunna barrun wa la fajir min sharri ma yanzilu min al-sama' wa min sharri ma ya`ruju fiha wa min sharri ma dhara'a fi al-ard wa min sharri ma yakhruju minha wa min fitani al-layli wa al-nahar wa min tawariq al-layli wa al-nahar illa tariqin yatruqu bi khayrin ya rahman
I seek refuge in the Face of Allah the Munificent and in Allah's perfect words which neither the righteous nor the disobedient overstep from the evil of what descends from the heaven and the evil of what ascends to it and the evil of what is created in the earth and the trials of the night and the day and the visitors of the night and the day except the visitor that comes with goodness, O Beneficent One!
At this the devil fell dead on his face and his firebrand went out.
They travelled until they reached a people who sowed in a day and reaped in a day. Every time they reaped, their harvest would be replenished as before. The Prophet said: "O Jibril, what is this?" He replied: "These are al-mujahidun — those who strive — in the path of Allah the Exalted. Every good deed of theirs is multiplied for them seven hundred times, and whatever they spend returns multiplied."
The Prophet then noticed a fragrant wind and said: "O Jibril, what is this sweet scent?" He replied: "This is the scent of the lady who combed the hair of Fir`awn's daughter and that of her children. As she combed the hair of Fir`awn's daughter the comb fell and she said: bismillah ta`isa fir`awn — In the name of Allah, may Fir`awn perish! whereupon Fir`awn's daughter said: Do you have a Lord other than my father? She said yes. Fir`awn's daughter said: Shall I tell my father? She said yes. She told him and he summoned her and said: Do you have a Lord other than me? She replied: Yes, my Lord and your Lord is Allah. This woman had two sons and a husband. Fir`awn summoned them and he began to entice the woman and her husband to renege on their religion, but they refused. He said: Then I shall kill you. She said: Be so good as to bury us all together in a single grave if you kill us. He replied: Granted, and it is your right to ask us. He then ordered that a huge cow made of copper be filled with boiling liquid (oil and water) and that she and her children be thrown into it. The children were taken and thrown in one after the other. The second and youngest was still an infant at the breast. When they took him he said: Mother! fall and do not tarry for verily you are on the right. Then she was thrown in with her children."
He (Ibn `Abbas) said: "Four spoke from the cradle as they were still infants: this child, Yusuf's witness (cf. 12:26), Jurayj's companion, and `Isa ibn Maryam."22
Then the Prophet saw people whose heads were being shattered, then every time they would return to their original state and be shattered again without delay. He said: "O Jibril, who are these people?" He replied: "These are the people whose heads were too heavy (on their pillows) to get up and fulfill the prescribed prayers."
Then he saw a people who wore loincloths on the fronts and on their backs. They were roaming the way camels and sheep roam about. They were eating thistles and zaqqum — the fruit of a tree that grows in hell and whose fruit resembles the head of devils (37:62-63) — and white-hot coals and stones of Gehenna. He said: "Who are these, O Jibril?" He replied: "These are the ones who did not meet the obligation of paying sadaqa from what they possessed, whereas Allah never kept anything from them."
Then he saw a people who had in front of them excellent meats disposed in pots and also putrid, foul meat, and they would eat from the foul meat and not touch the good meat. He said: "What is this, O Jibril?" He replied: "These are the men from your Community who had an excellent, lawful wife at home and who would go and see a foul woman and spend the night with her; and the women who would leave her excellent, lawful husband to go and see a foul man and spend the night with him."
Then he came to a plank in the middle of the road which not even a piece of cloth nor less than that could cross except it would be pierced. He said: "What is this, O Jibril?" He replied: "This is what happens to those of your Community who sit in the middle of the road and cut it" and he recited:
wa la taq`adu bi kulli siratin tu`iduna wa tasudduna `an sabilillah man amana bihi wa tabtaghunaha `iwajan
Lurk not on every road to threaten wayfarers and to turn away from Allah's path him who believes in Him, and to seek to make it crooked (7:86).

Hi All,
I require 13 colors for my project. Color number 1 is white and color number 13 is black. These are obviously straight from the paint tub. I need to mix the 11 shades of grey between white and black using white and black paint. I mixed 11 parts white with one part black, 10 parts white with 2 parts black and so on up to the 11th shade of grey 1 part white with 11 parts black. This didn't produce even shades of grey.
There must be a formula for this but I can't figure it out. How can I do this please?
Thank you.
Hi Doug,
I don't think this is supposed to give you even shades of grey but a spectrum of greys, going from lightest light to darkest dark. Those 11 points in between are gradated or gradually go from light to dark.
Thank you for your reply Courtney. Yes, it does give a spectrum of greys. The greys in the lighter end of the spectrum are quite obviously going from light to darker. But the greys at the darker end of this spectrum are very similar in color. There doesn't seem to be any significant difference in color between them. That's why I thought perhaps that my formula was off.

Interesting question, DP, personally never been fortunate enough to smell either, but if any male models are reading, maybe they could pitch in.
We often see them in perfume ads, half naked, sometimes completely naked, but always beautiful. The male models. Their beauty makes the perfume sell more.
But what we don't know for sure is what they wear in real life. Do you think Male Models are knowledgeable about perfumes? Do they visit basenotes? Do they wear niche or designer, modern or classic, strong or soft, sensual or green? Do you think maybe they don't really care and tend to wear the latest releases?
Does a god-looking man smell like a god too?
Interesting question, DP, personally never been fortunate enough to smell either, but if any male models are reading, maybe they could pitch in.
Well today I'm wearing Rien....but, you're probably not looking for input from Elephant-Man type models.
Hopefully they wear whatever they are paid to wear at least during the ad campaign.
fresh and sexy. ysl libre i would think is one.
I think Halle Berry 's ex boyfriend wears Murdock Black Tea and is also a Basenoter.
Head & Shoulders, Coast, Mitchum, Crest, etc. and sometimes beer.
Salad Pour Homme
Acqua di Gio
Le Male
Deja Vu Gay Rothenstein
- - - Updated - - -
Holy cow, that IS a thing, and ONE PERSON LOVES IT!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
don't all models wear photoshop??
Yep, they all wear LeMale, Im sure of it., Thats why none can be found here, the male models bought it all. Thank heavens.
OFF SITE SALES, DECANTS ---Dior,Chanel MFK, MOLECULE 01* VINTAGE ANTAEUS*
Probably something really generic. They all look the same...
Looking for THE femme fatale scent. If you think there is something I should smell please PM me!
i read someone telling here that it is gendarme , because is clean and clean and clean.
I would imagine Fierce, and Platinum Egoiste to be popular amongst male models.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
Something by a hip designer perhaps and Aventus.
My guess would be that if a model (male or female) is the "face" of a particular fragrance/marketing campaign, he or she is most likely contractually obligated to wear the fragrance for public appearances. What they do on their own time is their own business.
I know that when people model clothes or watches, they have these obligations - why would it be different for fragrance, barring some kind of allergy?
I agree that the models need to wear what they are 'the face' of.
By the way, I found what celebrities here love to wear on their Instagram.
A top fashion photographer love the latest Frederic Malle.
And a multi-talented one (actor, dancer, model and singer) love Le Labo Patchouli.
***My favourite from my collection***
-------- Amouage Tribute Attar
------ Serge Lutens: Ambre Sultan
-------- Les Exclusifs de Chanel: Sycamore
------ Amouage: Fate Man
-------- Amouage: Epic Man
------ Tom Ford Private Blend: Noir de Noir
-------- Terre D'Hermès Pure Parfum
------ EDP FM: Carnal Flower
-------- Neela Vermire Creations: Trayee
------ Dior: Leather Oud
------- Hermèssence: Ambre Narguilé
Can't think of anything I care less about.
Think you may find this website of use: http://www.celebrityfragranceguide.com/
I was expecting you to be slated for generalising about male models.
Anyway, I don't have a clue but expect many have scents pushed on them by companies seeking publicity so imagine many would wear the more expensive ones.
Most of the time I was working I smelled mostly of the huge amounts of hair products that semi-permanently gunked my hair up or the body oil that I had to wear to look super glossy and trying to compete with the smell of those would be pointless so I didn't bother. On my days not working I couldn't be bothered even with makeup, so scent stood no chance.
Granted I'm female and I wasn't a runway model (not thin enough and with huge bone structure that meant that I was more suited for rugby than catwalks) but I did spend quite a long time having my hair photographed or standing next to/lying on a sports car at some show or other, towering over all of the punters.

Krzyzewski visits Parker and Jefferson; McDonald's All-American Game festivities get underway
Since losing to Lehigh in the first round of the NCAA tournament, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski has wasted little time on the recruiting trail. Last week, Krzyzewski had in-home visits with 2012 post players Tony Parker and Amile Jefferson.
Parker's recruitment will finally come to close April 11, when he announces his college decision. Despite contradicting reports and speculation, Duke is still very much in the mix to land the 6-foot-9 Georgia product, though the Blue Devils are not thought to be the favorite. Parker will decide between Georgia, UCLA, Ohio State, Kansas and Duke. Parker's announcement will take place one day after the second ranked player in 2012, Shabazz Muhammad, chooses his school.
Few expected Jefferson to still be uncommitted at this point. Since visiting Duke for the North Carolina game, Jefferson has yet to give any indication as to when a decision will be made. North Carolina State and Duke are the perceived leaders.
Parker, Jefferson, Muhammad and Duke signee Rasheed Sulaimon are all in Chicago this week for the McDonald's All American Game. Players will begin practicing Monday against one another and will closely watched by numerous recruiting analysts, as well as NBA scouts. The prestigious all-star game will be played Wednesday, tipping off at 9:30 ET on ESPN2. Jefferson and Parker will be on the East team, while Muhammad and Sulaimon will play alongside one another for the West team. Future North Carolina point guard Marcus Paige is also on the West team.
After traveling to Atlanta and Philadelphia to visit Parker and Jefferson respectively last week, Krzyzewski and his staff hosted Central Michigan transfer Trey Zeigler for an official visit over the weekend. Zeigler, a 6-foot-5 versatile guard, reportedly holds a scholarship offer from the Duke coaching staff. Zeigler will apply for the NCAA hardship waiver and attempt to gain eligibility this upcoming season because Central Michigan fired his father and head coach, Ernie Zeigler. If he chooses Duke, Zeigler would give the Blue Devils a versatile defender on the wing that can also penetrate effectively off the dribble. UCLA and Michigan are both re-recruiting Zeigler as well.
Another transfer that has the Blue Devil fan base intrigued is Connecticut's Alex Oriakhi, who is leaving because of the Huskies NCAA tournament ban next year. Connecticut is appealing the NCAA ruling and if they lose then Oriakhi will be eligible for the 2012-13 college basketball season. Oriakhi has not officially been released by Connecticut yet, so at this point it is unknown if there is mutual interest between Oriakhi and Duke. The hard-nosed, 6-foot-9 post would undoubtedly provide the Blue Devils some much-needed toughness in the paint next season, especially if Mason Plumlee enters the draft. Oriakhi, a New Hampshire native, committed to Connecticut as an underclassman in high school, so it's difficult to know what other schools he was interested in.
Turning the attention to the class of 2013, Tyrone Outlaw of Roxboro, North Carolina is a new name rumored to be on Duke's recruiting radar. Outlaw is a 6-foot-6 small forward who predicates his game on defense and rebounds at a very high level for his position. The Blue Devil coaching staff will likely further evaluate Outlaw this spring and summer.
Seeking a new coaching staff, Illinois has reportedly contacted Chicago's Simeon high school head basketball coach, Robert Smith, about becoming an assistant coach for the Illini. Smith coaches the top ranked player in 2013, Jabari Parker, so the move to get him on the staff would seemingly help the Illini's chances of landing one of the better high school basketball players in recent memory. Smith, however, is not expected to leave Simeon for the position.
