It is not surprising that the McCain camp is going after Barack Obama on the continuing spectacle of Wesley Clark and the slurs on John McCain's service. Letting Clark go out on the morning shows with non-apologies gave the unmistakable sign that Obama isn't serious about halting this line of attack. Aside from wrecking his own patriotism message and giving the disillusioned MSM some more material to ponder, Obama has in a sense revived memories of the Reverend Wright affair. There, too, he was slow to react, indecisive and unwilling to denounce someone ostensibly on his side (until his sincerity was questioned).
This is hardly a model of moral leadership or an example of great executive management skills. It is however a gift to the McCain camp, which could not, with unlimited funds, have done nearly as good a job undermining Obama's claim to offer an era of New Politics.

Tutu Du Monde runs a full size large.
If in-between sizes, definitely size down. For measurements and more sizing
help, please call us at 1-866-322-2783, M - F, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. EST.
Perfect for your star in the making, our Audrey Tutu has been
lovingly crafted from the finest tulle and the purest cotton and is adorned
with sparkling sequins and a silky rosette. The bodice glitters with a
myriad of sequins hand embroidered onto a single layer of fine ruched tulle and
topped with a sequin-encrusted star at the centre of the neckline. Sweet straps
tie in bows at the shoulders and the back is beautifully smocked. The tiered
skirt gently floats from where it gathers at the hips, demanding to be twirled!
A pale pink silk rosette adds the finishing touch to our beautiful Audrey Tutu.
Perfect for any special occasion including weddings, parties or very special
dress ups, our Audrey Tutu is destined to be brought out again and again.
All of Tutu Du Monde's garments are
hand crafted and hand-dyed with an old-world feel but without the frail nature
of a vintage garment. They are a world apart from the mass-produced, cheap
polyester tutu dresses that flood the shops. Imagine dusty pastels, silk
ribbons, sparkly sequins, crystal beads and wisps of delicate feathers, applied
by hand to the softest cotton and the finest tulle and silk organza. They are
made to last and, in fact, only become more beautiful with wear as slight
fading and fraying edges adds to their charm.
The journey each of their beautiful
items takes perfectly illustrates the love that is poured into them, from the
design stage in Australia, to their production in India. Their garments are
created with love by a group of extremely talented ladies in a small workshop
in India, who are proud to be able to use the skills handed down to them
through their families. The exquisite beading you see on each dress takes an
entire day's meticulous work. So you can rest assured their garments are truly
one-off pieces, conceived and created with love, designed to be loved for
decades to come.
Tutu Du Monde's vintage inspired tutu dresses are
perfect for photography and special occasions.

World Burping Championship
Burp! The results of the first ever World Burping Championship is in: Tim Janus, a 35-year-old pizza chef silenced his competitors with a "lyrical and melodic burp" 18.1 seconds long.
New York's DNAinfo has the story:
Tim "Eater X" Janus, 35, won the contest with an epic 18.1 second belch after drinking roughly 2 gallons — that's right, gallons — of Diet Coke and Mountain Dew.
"I was just trying to condense all the air in my stomach and bring it to the surface," said the 165-pound Janus.
"You just have to force every last bit of air up. It's beautiful, really."
Newest 4 Comments
$200 fine to whoever (whomever?) served him that drink.
15 minutes of fame?... I'll pass thank you...
Better luck next year, Alex.
I'm not seeing talent here. Now if it was "how many letters of the alphabet", "how many octaves can you hit (ala Mariah Carey)" or "what's the longest word you can say" while burping... That stuff takes talent.

I'm moving a multiplayer application of mine from XNA over to Unity so that I can make use of the web player. To make things work with the Web Player, it seems I have to use the WWW class instead of HttpWebRequest. My tests are showing that accessing the exact same page from a Unity application takes 10 times longer using WWW than it does using HttpWebRequest. Is that to be expected? Is there anything I can do to improve WWW's performance?
In my specific case, the WWW request takes about 450 ms (around half a second) to fully execute, while the HttpWebRequest is taking 47 ms - less than half of a tenth of a second!
asked Oct 23, 2010 at 09:48 PM
WWW is also encoding the download into proper objects - are you accounting for the post-download initialization in your comparison?
answered Oct 28, 2010 at 02:23 AM
Max Kaufmann
Is there any way to avoid the encoding/processing?
It appears WWW is pretty inefficient.
Sep 20, 2011 at 12:55 PM mikeytrw
I've had some success increasing WWW request performance by building the POST data myself rather than using the WWWForm object:
Also, I suspect the additional time for a WWW request is because it has to load the crossdomain.xml for every request which is pretty annoying.

This week, the Army announced an increase, while the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard had a decrease in the number of reservists on active duty in support of the partial mobilization. The net collective result is 996 more reservists mobilized than last week.
At any given time, services may mobilize some units and individuals while demobilizing others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease. Total number currently on active duty in support of the partial mobilization for the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 156,379; Naval Reserve, 4,303; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 9,937; Marine Corps Reserve, 12,971; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 657. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve personnel, who have been mobilized, to 184,247, including both units and individual augmentees.

4.0 out of 5 stars ideal low-budget purchase,
Tim F. (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 (Poppy Red) (Accessory)
The Facts: This blue-track mouse works perfectly on all surfaces except glass/reflective just as advertised. Each time I've purchased this model it was the least expensive wireless mouse with a nano-transceiver available anywhere (online or local retail) other than only one other Logitech model. I've owned four of this exact model, in three different colours, and they all took quite a bit of "wear & tear" and exposure to dust. The four I've purchased in the last 14 months have kept working perfectly during daily use and are highly prized by their owners (my parents liked them so much on vacation they bought them off my wife and me, requiring re-purchase). The wheel is quite accurate, its horizontal texture helps, and it doesn't loosen or get squeaky over time. The matte finish on the palmrest/finger area hasn't lost its no-slip texture with wear. The non-aggressive contour on the sides has a reliably-grippy rubber that has resisted grime well. I prefer this mouse due to its lack of auxilliary or programmable buttons on the sides/center as my hand posture varies and I inevitably strike a button when not meaning to. I program the middle wheel to click to close tabs/windows, and I always speed up the default scroll rate by 3x or more. I do wish the wheel had a left/right tilt function to scroll sideways. It is perfectly symmetrical for right-hand or left-hand use. It doesn't laser you in the eye when flipping it over to switch it on, and it has an auto-off feature that saves battery life if you prefer to leave it always on. Haven't once had to change the Duracell battery that comes with it yet.
The Superficial: This is an ideal size for a mouse, not full-sized like a desktop or gaming mouse and not shrunken like most mini-portable mice. The design proportions are well balanced, using a somewhat high hump against the palm to set fingers even as long as mine properly over the reduced finger pads with no overlap. The sidewalls have a satisfying, comfy, not-too-grippy (and eventually greasy) material and the very subdued contours are great for my large thumbs/fingers. It's normally produced in monochrome colours and free of the tacky urban tribal or Pop-Art-gone-wrong graphic designs. I've owned the sea blue, imperial purple, and poppy red-coloured mice, and the most appealing long-term was the sea blue colour. The purple was too gimmicky out of the box, the red looked a bit too lipstick and racy-metallic. The red did look better with a little wear but the purple just ended up looking like it was dirty all the time regardless of cleaning. I almost bought the loch ness grey colour when spotted priced well below all the other colours at Office Depot but through the plastic package it looked too cheap, and all black was actually off-putting. Three of the four mice were purchased online as the price including taxes and shipping beat local low-cost retailers by approx. $15 each time. However, I do wait until "Back-to-School" or Christmas deals roll around to get these unusally low prices.
Editorial: I've been buying mice for myself and others, business and pleasure for sixteen years now, often seeing folks blow off my somewhat recently acquired Microsoft mouse "persistence" to their eventual chagrin. Numerous problems with the wired and wireless Logitech build quality and factory drivers cam up over the years, plus their "customizable mouse software" floundered on several Windows versions and most Linux OS. In comparison the Microsoft mice are a truly hassle-free plug-n-play experience... and I really must say that this is coming from a Microsoft critic who tested lots else at different price points first. There are not many things that Microsoft does just right but when it comes to making mice they do it as well as or better than everyone else I've tried.

By: Beth Wurtmann
AMSTERDAM - Downtown Amsterdam is a virtual construction site, as DOT crews work on a 3.3-million-dollar project to upgrade eleven intersections.
The State Transportation Department said new traffic lights with the latest sensors, fewer one way streets and more pedestrian crossings will mean smoother, safer travel.
But lifelong resident Thom Rich disagreed.
"When they started putting all these lights here I thought they were going a little crazy myself," he said.
Rich felt the number of new lights was excessive. And he said the crossing at Van Dyke, Market Street and Beacon Ave is a prime example. One signal that was here for 40 years, was replaced with nine, including identical side by side lights in case one breaks down.
Plus, one of the lights has a special purpose.: to service traffic for one residential driveway.
"I just can't believe it, why," questioned Rich, "that just blows me away. One light for one house."
But Region 2 Transportation spokesman Jim Piccola said that 'blind' driveway needs a light, at an intersection that sees 15,000 cars a day.
And, he said, a design study showed outdated equipment and a number of accident, concluding that Amsterdam needed to modernize.
"You can't put a price on safety and I think this intersection is more more safer and efficient and I think the money is well spent," he said.
"Yes it was aging but we made do with it. Why couldn't they just update it, instead of nine lights maybe four," said Rich.
Piccola said Federal and state guidelines call for all of the upgrades, including automated pedestrian crossings.

Quick story time:
So I log in after eating dinner to see what's what with Gorman's pet party . . . and apparently I'm late.
It was funny, I ran kyle in right as someone was saying, "awww bummer. I thought I'd get to meet Thomas." And then he ported away. Well Gorman started calling people back for the unofficial/official post-pet party party. (You know, when friendly is online, the party is always going)
Esmee here was wearing the crown clothes and matching me one for one with cool stuff. So it was called that I should win the contest, to which I said . . . NO WAI and put up a bloodbat pet.
Then they asked me to choose the winner. A couple people there had the death scarab pets. I was going to choose those until someone said, no they're code pets not fair!
sigh, ok.
So I scanned the crowd looking for a cool pet when BAM! There was Ryan StormCaller with the same krokomummy pet I had put up just a couple days ago.
So grats to Ryan Stormcaller for the win!
And now as they say, it's time for the rest of the story . . .
I log off, watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. sleep. wake up. log on.
BAM! Who is there?
It's Ryan Stormcaller, who helped me farm Kraysys a couple of times.
Nice meeting you Ryan and once again, congrats for winning the unofficial/official post-pet party pet contest!!!!!
Small victories are sometimes the sweetest.
Happy Dueling!

No it's not a new stamp, it's from the A4 set of flowers, Ruby Tuesday.
I do keep coming back to this set when I need big bold flowers and after having a play with Zentangles, I went looking for stamps I could incorporate.
If you've never heard of Zentangles, it's basically a structured form of doodling. There are books available that show you specific techniques and patterns, but once you've grasped those basics you can take the idea anywhere you like. I was aware of Zentangles, but never really paid much attention, and I have to say a big thank you to Jill for suggesting it as a great stress buster – I've found it very absorbing and relaxing over the last couple of months.
I use a Faber Castell Ecco Pigment pen (0.3) on hot pressed watercolour paper, but have other pens I want to experiment with. This card is only the third zentangle doodle I've done as they are quite time consuming.
I tore the square from the watercolour paper and masked off a thin strip along two sides, then stamped the flower with Smokey Grey Versafine. I then removed the masking tape and drew the square border. The stamp has some natural shading already on it, but using the pale grey ink meant that after going around the outline of the petals with my black pen, the shading recedes into the background. Where it was strongest, I incorporated it into the design by colouring between the petals and adding dots. Each of the inner petals has a different 'tangle' in it, and the outer petals all have the same swirly stamen type doodle.
Here's a couple of close ups.
The white flower is a Crealies die and the border is a Martha Stewart punch. The patterned paper is from the Butterfly Bliss CD (yes, Chocolate Baroque has some stock of that one).
Talking of close ups – for the kitten fans, I have some photos of Zaphod with a close up of his amazing eyes coming soon.

True Blood
True Blood's Carolyn Hennesy Teases Bloody Fights Scenes, The Vampire Bible, and Rosalyn's Dirty Little Secret – Exclusive!
If you think Rosalyn Harris is a force to be reckoned with, you obviously haven't spoken to her real-life counterpart, the lovely and talented Carolyn Hennesy.
Wetpaint Entertainment recently chatted with Emmy-nominated actress, who gave us all the dirt on her sassy True Blood character and the secrets she's hiding in her sky-high Miss Texas hair.
Warning: Minor spoilers ahead.
You've had a long and amazing career, and you've said this is one of your favorite roles so far. What is it that draws you to Rosalyn?
Rosalyn is so much fun because, to me, she is one of the very few vampires with a tremendous sense of humor. Not a great deal of them have that, and it is just so crucial to not only surviving day to day as a mortal human being, but surviving 2,000 years as a vampire. You have to really be able to laugh at what's going on around you, because, otherwise, you just wouldn't be able to get up out of your coffin every evening.
That and her tremendous sense of style.
The big hair and the pearls! What's that all about?
Well, before Episode 1 aired, I was talking a great deal about Rosalyn's pearls and her big hair and she comes from Texas. She has kind of found a wonderful nesting place in the era of the '80s, even the '70s and parts of the '60s — the Ann Richards and Rosalynn Carter, and maybe back to some of the great screen stars like Joan Crawford and Mae West.
So, she's very comfortable being that sort of throwback to another era and not being really up-to-date, but still being incredibly chic and stylish.
She is very retro — to a point where she almost gives off a kind of old-school self-righteous vibe …
Yes, but warranted self-righteousness. After all, she knows exactly which end of the coffin she gets up at and she firmly believes what she is doing.
Mainstreaming is absolutely the way to go if the vampire species expects to survive, and, again, that's really being tested this season.
And, yes, she is retro, but she doesn't think she's retro — she just thinks she's stylish!
One thing we noticed is that Rosalyn was so quick to sentence Eric and Bill to the True Death in Episode 1, and it makes us wonder if maybe she's got some secrets or skeletons in her closet.
Rosalyn does have a big secret, which does coincide with how she perceives the Guardian and what his dictates are, what he wants with regard to mainstreaming. So yes, there is a big secret. Of course, I cannot tell you until the season is over!
This is the first we're hearing about Rosalyn's secret …
It is for a lot of people. And, again, it's nothing that was fully and formally discussed. It's simply something that I said, "This is much of the reason this person operates the way she does."
Will we learn more about her personal history?
I believe we will. Not a great deal in this season, but yes, a little bit more.
Is there a chance she's a secret Sanguinista? We don't know who to trust anymore!
We have yet to determine which side Rosalyn is really on. She's a mainstreamer at heart, but what happens in the rest of the season really is going to test loyalties and test bonds. We are very committed and firm in our beliefs, no matter which side we're on. The Sanguinistas see humans as a smorgasbord, the mainstreamers know we work in connection with the humans.
But I really can't tell you [if she's a Sanguinista.] I want to tell you! It's on the tip of my tongue. You know it is!
What are Rosalyn's beliefs about the vampire Bible? We heard her deliver a snide comment about not disavowing the book in front of Roman.
He doesn't like to hear us talk about the book!
What about Rosalyn?
You can tell from her comment that it is an extremely important document. The most important document! Is this a literal translation? As opposed to the Christian bible — whatever version you have — no one I know was around when that was written. Unlike the Christian bible, a lot of vampires were around when this document was written. So, again, it depends on who you're going to believe. Is it a collection of stories or is it the word of Lilith? We find out. That is one of the major plot points.
Rosalyn's beliefs were, I think, clearly stated in her innuendo. She is skeptical. She's more of a show-me kind of gal.
How old is Rosalyn?
She's at least 2,000 years old. Extremely old and extremely fierce. To stay alive through the Inquisition, the witch hunts — forget vampire hunts, we had witch hunts! — she had to be incredibly strong. And she is!
I'm not sure if you caught it, but there was a wonderful little reaction when the Guardian, Roman, was about to stake Bill and she was like, "Oh, yes! Oh, yes! I want the blood of this traitor!" She tolerates very little. She'll joke with you as she's draining you, but she'll do it.
We'd love to see what Rosalyn is truly made of. Might we see her in a fight or a bloody battle this season?
There is a strong possibility.
Maybe mess up her hair a little?
Blasphemy, my child! The hair never gets messed up! [laughs] But remember this — she is, above everything else, a survivor. So when things start happening, that's one of the things that everyone needs to keep in mind.
All this tough girl talk! Could she kick Russell Edgington's ass in a fight?
No, no one can kick that ass. [laughs] She'd give it her best try, but it's very doubtful. That is a very formidable ass.
How about some of the other members of The Authority?
Oh, you bet! Throw down with Salome? Oh, come on. Let's start placing bets now. [laughs]

What happens when your app gets featured on ABC's Shark Tank, the TV show where rich investors listen to pitches from wannabe entrepreneurs looking to raise funds? For app developers Egos Ventures it means shooting up hundreds of spots on the App Store charts to become the top paid app in the store overnight. The developers behind the hands-free panorama app called Cycloramic were able to capture a $500k investment from two of the Sharks on last night's episode. We spoke to the developer who appeared on the show last night, Bruno Francois, to find out a little about the experience and get some stats on downloads following the investment. Read more

Real Racing 3: The highly anticipated third installment in EA's Real Racing iOS series has officially arrived in the US App Store today (via 9to5Toys). Available now for free, the game's new in-app purchase model is getting a little bit of negative attention, but otherwise reviews of the game have been quite positive.
Trailblazing new features include officially licensed tracks, an expanded 22-car grid, and over 45 meticulously detailed cars from makers like Porsche, Lamborghini, Dodge, Bugatti, and Audi. Plus, racing with friends gets kicked into another dimension with the reality-bending Time Shifted Multiplayer™ (TSM) technology.
AVP: Evolution: Fox has released another app in the Alien vs Predators series with the release of AVP: Evolution. The game was developed by Angry Mob Games, makers of PREDATORS and Guerrilla Bob iOS titles, and takes cues from multiplayer modes in recent AVP console releases.
*Two distinct gaming experiences as you engage in the ultimate battle as both the Alien and Predator
*Vicious attacks and brutal finishing moves give players a lethal arsenal to wreak havoc on the enemy
Socialcam version 5.0: Autodesk is making some major improvements to its popular Socialcam app, which has now reached 20 million downloads, with the release of version 5 on the App Store today. The update should be hitting the App Store shortly and with it will come "a complete redesign of visual effects, 720p HD video, video High Dynamic Range (HDR), and a new icon for Socialcam."
Major new features on the iOS platform include a complete redesign of visual effects, 720p HD video, video High Dynamic Range (HDR), and a new icon for Socialcam… Developed in collaboration with Autodesk's expert professional video effects teams, the new 720p HD video and video HDR with one click real-time mapping and color correction enables Socialcam—with more than 20 million downloads—to continue to break through barriers to mobile video adoption by making it easy to express creativity and individuality wherever inspiration strikes—anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
Day One version 1.10: The well reviewed journal/diary app known as Day One gets new features today including new options for PDF Export and Printing, historical weather reports for 30 days, a new reminder sound, Sanchez font option, and improvements to HTML styling. There are also a number of performance enhancements include for startup time, Dropbox syncing, and more. An update for the Mac app is coming soon.
Cycloramic version 2.1: The app that received much attention for its unique use of the iPhone's vibrating motor to snap hands-free 360 degree video gets new features today. Among them is the ability to "convert panoramic photos to 24 second panoramic HD movies."
YouTube 1.2.1: Google updated its YouTube app for iOS bringing the Send to TV feature that it originally introduced on Android devices back in November. The app will allow users to send YouTube videos from their iOS devices to a Google TV, PS3, or Xbox and Google confirmed back in January that the feature would be coming to even more smart TVs this year.

Cycloramic app captures 360-degree, handsfree video by rotating your iPhone with vibrations (Video)
A new iPhone app released just before Christmas provides a new spin on the panoramic, 360-degree video app, of which there are many competitors in the App Store. Normally, shooting 360-degree video would require the help of a hardware peripheral, such as the GoPano micro, or some crafty manual handwork to maneuver the device 360 degrees. With the new Cycloramic app from Egos Ventures, the iPhone will self-spin around by vibrating at certain frequencies. This allows you to capture hands-free, 360-degree video without a tripod or stand. The video above speaks for itself.
The developers warned the iPhone must be placed upright on a flat, hard surface without a case or stand. They also noted the iPhone 4s "will only turn very slowly on perfectly level glass. This is really designed for iPhone 5."
The Cycloramic app is available for 99 cents on the App Store now, and you'll find some demo videos from the developer's YouTube page below. There's even one of Woz trying out the app in his kitchen:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the prepared sheet pan. Spoon the peanut butter over the top of the chocolate mixture and using a knife, swirl it through the chocolate mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes more or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into large squares.

100% ALLEGED Showbiz, Blind Items and Gossip Thread (Part 4)
National Enquirer
What legendary peformer's friends are freaking out because the 60-something singer/actress has been mixing anti-anxiety pills and booze- AGAIN! The leggy star reently sang at a friends birthday party, but not only was she way oof-key, she forgot the words to 'Happy Birthday'!
This famous male designer reached out to a handsome Marine after seeing him on the news, hoping to transform the military hunk into a supermodel. The ageing and openly gay fashion guru flew the soldier first-class to Miami, but the hottie bolted when the desihn icon made sexual advances toward hin. Who is he!.
Friends of this newly seperated actor are worried about his out-of-control drinking and begging him to go into rehab. After a failed intervention a few years ago, the former sitcom star swore off booze. But his recovery didnt last long. Who is he?
Which former film actress has not been warmly received at her new gig on a long-running TV detective drama? Turns out she's not only clashing with one of the male stars, but she is also finding it extremely difficult to memorize the scripts that are loaded with medical and scientific jargon.
Continuation of: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1491814
Seems that the whispers on here about Mr Fix it and his regular trips to the mortuary were correct!
Just when you think a story can't get any more grim.....:(
Could the feuding sisters rhyme with Puff?
This is the sisters who live in Springfield. The BIG clue is "This was on a Sunday" Their father was a minister back in the day.
Lisa and Maggie, that's a shocker:eek:
From CDAN:
He Will Probably Die Soon
This actor was just about A list. Almost at the cusp. Movies, and television, this foreign born actor with the strange looking name was at the top of every list. An incredible actor. He has had some issues. Lots of issues. He still works all the time, but the people closest to him know that unless he really commits himself to getting help and not just when it suits his legal needs, that he will die soon.
They say that they expected him to die earlier this summer when he went on a ten day bender and was one step above passing out for almost the entire time. When the bender ended he slept for four solid days. He never woke up once for anything and had to throw away the mattress and sheets when he finally did wake up. Everyone assumes he just boozes it up because that is all he seems to get in trouble for, but heroin is what he lives for.
Every waking moment is devoted to his one true love. He used to limit himself to once a day, and now he can't go longer than about four hours. He hates flying on anything that keeps him away from it. He says that he is thankful that despite being an almost A list actor, most people don't recognize him and that he can tell right away when looking at someone whether they can score him drugs.
He does have someone in his life but all she can do right now is try to keep him from overdosing and to call for helpif he does. He tries everyday to her to join him which really makes him an a-hole in my mind. She has said no so far and thinks she can really help the actor. He keeps saying he can get her parts but he has not done anything. She says they never have sex, because his free time is devoted to his drug or finding his drug or sleeping off his drugs.
She also says he is going to die soon. That his body just can't handle the drugs and the booze in such quantities every night.
^^^^ Interesting guess.
He only did TV when he was a kid & nothing really great. He was born in Puerto Rico which is a part of the USA (depending on how technically you want to get) so not foreign for CDAN's view.
The most popular guesses on the site were JRM & Eddard Stark, Boromir, 006/Alec Trevelyan.
Both are kind of know for liking the drink too much. Perhaps more.
From ACG:
This A list model married to an A list all movie actor has been rubbing his face in her affair. She keeps sending him photos of her with her new guy while on vacation. Meanwhile her husband is home with their child who she has not seen in person in a very long time. She has never been a big fan of her child. Ask her if she will ever have another child and you would probably see her laugh for an hour.
Hope that isn't true about JRM or 006. Really grim story.
Boromir doesn't have a strange looking name so deffo not him
[QUOTEYep, Boromir would be my guess. He even looks like he's been hitting the drink a lot lately.[/quote]
It does say that he has someone in his life, I thought Boromir and his wife separated recently? I really, really hope it's not him, he is certainly l looking a bit rough lately though.
Am I being really thick?
UH-OH. He really doesn't look good. And he was one of the most popular guesses at CDAN :(

"56 Yrs Old Needing Hand Rejuvenation..."
Since I'm so thin skinned I feared it so.. How can they just inject thin skin without my bruising .. Well Dr. Sarnoff can & is one of the few Dr's doing this for years and the results are just wonderful.. She's humorous and upbeat and her assistant keeps U calm throughout.. So happy w this experience and when necessary, I'll return to the Dr., for the next wish list item.. She can do it all..): more
"33 Year, Radiesse Changed my Face..."
I have written one other review about my breast augmentation, click here to read my review. Since I had that procedure in Alabama I have been thinking of my smile lines getting fixed because the breast aug was a walk in the park and changed my life. Well I went in wanting juvederm, thinking that's what I needed. Dr H went over in a very descriptive and non-rushed manner that it's not the... more
"38 Yr Old Female Losing Volume in..."
My 38 bday was coming up in March and I felt like it was time to do "something" to fix the unfortunate aging process that was starting to really catch up with me and making me feel very self conscious. Although Radiesse wasn't the only procedure I had done it really made a huge difference to help me regain some fullness in my check bone area which helped with the saggy ness that kept looking... more
"Worth It - Flushing, NY"
I am 32 years old. A recent picture made me decide to get Radiesse for my NLF. First picture is what made me get the injection. 2nd and 3rd pictures were taken 2 hours after injection. The swelling was pretty visible. 4th and 5th pictures were taken 3 days later. All the redness and well went away and I'm very happy with the result. more
"60 Years Old, 3 Years Post Face-lift..."
See my review of doctor below.... Radiesse worked very well in my cheeks and chin areas...surgeons seem reluctant to tell you that a face lift will not solve fat loss issues in your face. Radiesse worked well for me. Belotero, on the other hand was somewhat of a disaster. more
"Perfect Improvement! - Darien, CT"
I was unhappy with some signs of aging and pinned down a root cause of what was aging all of the other young looking features on my face. So I narrowed it down to the nasolabial folds, which I read start to emerge in the mid-20's. I went into have a consultation and immediately got a sense of trust. Dr. knew excellent techniques to keep the area from bruising, icing area well before doing the... more
"Dr. Raskin Obtained Incredible..."
Since I'm very thin and have lost a lot of the underlying fat in my face as I've aged, Dr. Raskin suggested that Radiesse might be what I need to look as I did. She explained how she felt that my cheekbones needed to be highlighted again as well as extending the Radiesse upward into the temporal area.Her aesthetic abilities are unbelievable as ( 2 syringes later) my facial structure looks like... more
"FANTASTIC Results with Radiesse -..."
I am a 48 year old male with good skin and just a minimal amount of wrinkles and some slackening of the skin. After having Juvederm injected into the tear troughs (which looks amazing) I wanted to take care of the beginning of naso-labial folds (one side was more pronounced than the other. Although my PS initially thought there was enough wrinkling to worry about, he did suggest having... more
"Radiesse Has Given my Face an Uneven..."
Radiesse is quite unforgiving. If it is at all overdone or injected unevenly, it shows. To make matters worse, it takes a long time to disappear unlike restylane or juvederm, which can be eliminated if the patient is displeased.
I had it done to conceal the hollows forming in my cheeks. I now seem to have implants on the upper part of my cheeks, and the hollows below are more pronounced... more

Apple 24" Cinema Display, Mini Display Port adapters and alternatives
I've a almost complete idea of what I want for my setup but I'm stuck on what to do about the screen.
I've decided that I will splash out the extra money and get a desktop pc to take care of my PC gaming addiction instead of trying to run games on 15" macbook pro. (Note that I haven't bought either yet)
The probablem I have is that I would like one screen that I can use between my laptop and my desktop PC. Trouble is the laptop only has Mini Display Port and the PC desktop only has HDMI and DVI.
Originally I had hoped to buy the 24" Cinema Display and find a way to get it to work with my PC ie Mini Display (female) Port to HDMI or DVI . But I have yet to find I way to do this.
I have since however seen a Dell display with HDMI, DVI and Display Port. My thinking was to buy this and then buy a Mini Display Port to Display Port adapter Mini Display Port to Display Port adapter for my macbook. And either a HDMI cable or a DVI cable (not sure which would be better) for my desktop.
Does this sound like it would be a comfortable setup?
I really liked the idea of getting the 24" display because it looks really hot (well at least I think it does, although I can appreciate it's overpriced) but it's not very practical when wanting to use with display ports other than Mini Display Port.
What are you thoughts?
I would suggest looking at the Belkin Flip device. It's a little hub that takes the input from two computers (actually intended for the same laptop/desktop scenario you're thinking of doing) and has a handy remote to switch what input you're using with the touch of a button. The nice thing about these is that they also have keyboard, mouse, and USB inputs, so you can use the same keyboard, mouse, etc. on both devices without having to reconnect anything.
Depending on what Flip model you're planning on getting (either a VGA input or DVI input) you'll need to get the appropriate Mini DisplayPort adapter.
Take a look here:
Belkin Flip
Hope this helps!
Thanks for recommending this product. It looks like I it will save me loads of time not having to worry about disconnecting and reconnecting the cables.
I've decided I'm going to wait till July and see if any adapters come out and if not I'm going to get the Dell display and maybe in the future if Apple updates their 30" Cinema Displays I might trade the Dell display in.
Note to admin: Thanks for moving to correct forum. Hadn't seen this one :)

By Army 1st Lt. Clint Miller Special to American Forces Press Service
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 4, 2009 About 200 soldiers and airmen from the Idaho National Guard are on duty today to prepare for the 2009 Special Olympics Winter World Games being held here Feb. 7 to 13.
Athletes from more than 100 countries with more than 2,500 delegates will converge on the state to participate in athletic events such as alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, speed skating, figure skating, floor hockey and cross-country skiing.
Opening ceremonies will be held at the Idaho Center in Nampa on Feb. 7. The athletes and delegates will then spread across the state to participate in the various sporting events. At each event venue in Boise, McCall and Sun Valley, the Idaho National Guard will have teams ready to assist the Special Olympics organizers and athletes.
An Idaho National Guard joint task force is working with the Special Olympics Games Organizing Committee to assist with missions such as logistical support, emergency service support and monitoring vital assets during the games.
"It's been wonderful to participate and watch our Joint Task Force Special Olympics come together and deploy for this event, which puts Idaho on the world's stage for the next couple of weeks," Army Lt. Col. Tim Marsano, public affairs officer for the effort, said. He added that Navy Reserve sailors are serving along with the Guard members in the joint task force.
This will not be the first time the Special Olympics committee and Idaho National Guard have partnered for an event. Leading up to the 2009 World Winter Games, the Special Olympics Organizing Committee hosted the 2008 Special Olympics Invitational Winter Games here.
On a smaller scale, those games helped to determine which winter sporting events would work best in each community, officials said. It also provided a chance for the Idaho National Guard to determine how much support it could provide for the World Winter Games in 2009.
Boise hosted most of the venues for the 2008 Invitational Games. Floor hockey events took place at Boise State University, while alpine skiing was held at Bogus Basin Ski Resort, just outside Boise. Boise was the distribution center for all venues, and soldiers and airmen worked together to organize material and load trucks headed to remote sites.
Idaho National Guard members also assisted with the transportation of Special Olympics athletes and delegates throughout the Invitational Games.
During the competition, the soldiers and airmen said they were inspired by the athletes and proud of their contribution to the Games.
"It felt good to take part in an activity that really affected the lives of special-needs athletes," said Army Sgt. 1st Class James Mace of the Idaho Army National Guard said. "I can't wait to participate again next year."
In Sun Valley, the athletes participated in snowshoeing and cross-country skiing events at the Sun Valley Nordic Center. Heavy snowfall ensured success for the sporting events, but also provided challenges for the Idaho National Guard.
Army Maj. Alex Shaffer commanded the Sun Valley task force. "It was good working with the community volunteers and Special Olympics staff," he said. "But the best part was working with the athletes, because everyone fed off their excitement."
The National Guard will have task forces working in both Sun Valley and McCall this year. Their members will assist by moving supplies around the remote sites and monitoring the event sites in the evenings.
Guard members will not provide security, but they know local law enforcement is only a radio call away if they need them, officials said.
The crews begin working at the sites today. The mission is scheduled to end on Feb. 14, when all supplies, sporting equipment and athletes have headed back home. Army Col. John Goodale, the joint task force commander, said the Idaho Guard is thrilled to provide logistics support and emergency preparedness support to the Games.
"Supporting the Special Olympics Games is not only its own reward, it also serves as a training event for the Idaho National Guard as we hone our skills to prepare for any disaster emergency," he said.

Back in the 1960s, Robert F. Kennedy was leading investigations of the Mafia. A folder from that era contained information and mug shots of men like Carlo Gambino and Meyer Lansky. In the 1990s, somebody accidentally left the file in a New York City taxi. It's up for auction now, with an estimated sale price of $10,000.

House and Senate appropriators have reached a deal on a $900 billion 2012 spending plan for a broad swath of the federal government but they say they are refraining from filing it for at least a day because of technical issues.
"We have a bipartisan, bicameral agreement in place on the package," said House Appropriations Committee spokeswoman Jennifer Hing.
"However, we had some delays today, and now need additional time to complete the technicalities of putting the bill together to make sure all our i's are dotted and our t's are crossed—as well as waiting on [the Congressional Budget Office] to provide us with official scoring of the bill. We hope to file the package tomorrow," Hing said.
Given the walking-a-tightrope nature of major spending bills all year, no one can be sure the measure is completed until its filed or that it can pass until Congress votes. But the announcement Monday night suggests lawmakers are close to clearing a major obstacle to it leaving town for the holiday recess. Lawmakers still need to come to an agreement on a package of extenders--an extension of the payroll-tax cut which expires at year's end, unemployment insurance, and the so-called Medicare "doc fix." Earlier today, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, expressed confidence that agreements could be found but he also reiterated his commitment to the Keystone pipeline that the Obama administration wants to study further.

'Octo-mom' Nadya Suleman Allegedly Stars in Adult Fetish Video, 'Whips Grown Man in Diaper'
TMZ reports that the 35-year-old mother of fourteen (including the infamous octuplets born in January, 2009) is the star of a fetish video, "in which she whips a grown man wearing a baby diaper and a bonnet."
The video was shot recently in her Los Angeles home, and features Suleman dressed in a black corset. TMZ reports the video is being shopped for sale. and both Suleman and her costar have signed the release allowing it to be sold.
Earlier this month Suleman's fertility specialist, Dr. Michael Kamrava, was accused of "gross negligence" by the California Medical Board. Kamrava is in danger of losing his medical license, and this January 27 will mark the verdict as to whether his license is suspended or completely revoked. It was Kamrava who implanted the 'Octo-mom' with 12 embryos, which led to her giving birth to octuplets.
Suleman recently confessed to having a 'baby addiction' and money management problems on her appearance on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.'

I feel sorry for this woman, she has l6 or so kids & whatever she does to make a dollar for them should be o.k. I seen her also on Oprah. I don't know why everyone turned their back on her - she is not on welfare & is trying to earn money. I could'nt handle all she does. The kids are here & not going away & need to be taken care of. Give her a break all you mean people.

Sorry but I do not feel sorry for Suleman. She made the choice to have 14 children. She had no job with the first 6, one of which is autistic. What does she do? Has 12 embryos planted and has 8 more children. I feel sorry for the children. I watched her on Oprah. There is something definately wrong with Suleman, mentally. No job, not able to pay her mortgage but she has a personal trainer? Gets her nails done? Spends a fortune on toys? Something terribly wrong with her.

Where do you get your information? She IS on Welfare, Food Stamps and 3 of the kids are on disability. BTW, it's "saw them" not "seen them". You also say "The kids aren't going away". Well what would happen if Family Services paid a visit while she filming?

In-vitro fertilization is very expensive. Where did she get the money for it in the fist place?

Her invitro fertiization was probably paid by medicaid, so she can collect even more welfare for the babies she pops out. Any doubt why California is bankrupt?

You must be a mental patient. I would have my screenname be anonymous too if I said something so stupid. She IS on welfare, that was cleared up a long time ago when she had the last 8 kids. I guar-an-fricken-tee that she thought that having these kids would be her meal ticket, and it blew up in her face. AND PS. I saw the same Oprah interview as you. She is a deranged lunatic. She lies CONSTANTLY. She psychoanalyzes herself CONSTANTLY, and I absolutely LOVED how the money chick called her out...CONSTANTLY. Octomom is reaping what she sowed and deserves every bit of it. Oh..and she is lying about the plastic surgery too. Gimme a break.

If it was anyone else, the children would be in the care of soacial services. Those little ones deserve a good home. They did not ask to be born.

this woman still has custody of her litter? where is Child Protective Services? The woman is a total head case and should have never been able to get in vitro implantation of a litter. She is a burden to society because of her limited mental capacity aand probably created a litter of mental defectives too-they may have some hope if they are removed from her custody and put in homes with human beings, not breeder dogs who have litters by choice- poor kids. The Doctor who did this implantation should be forced to pay support for his Dr Mengle children.
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy Melisa
I agree with everything you say about HER, but seriously....leave the kids alone. It isn't their fault, and its kind of disgusting to have them referred to as a "litter". They are living, breathing human beings. They deserve a little love and respect, since this freak doesn't seem to love anyone but herself. I feel so sorry for those poor children.

If Nadya needs Child Protective Services, then so does every other "celebrity". Granted she couldn't afford these children, but she is no different than stars who act in movies depicting some really horrible things, they leave their children for long periods to act on location, they get married and divorced like people change their underwear, they have everyone but themselves raising their children, they do drugs, then enter rehab and on and on and on. Give me a break, people wouldn't be reacting this way if it was a famous star acting this out in a movie.

In my recent post, I discussed how to eliminate double faults and how to change negative beliefs about your game with rational and logical statements. We learned just how important an accurate toss is for a reliable serve. In this video, I show you a few exercises you can do on the tennis court to ensure your toss is consistently accurate.
My Workday Morning Routine
Hello lovely people! Since some of you have asked what my morning routine was like, so I thought I'd show you. This is my most current WEEKDAY morning routine. I found this morning routine keeps me healthy, mentally balanced and super productive all day. Check it out.
Pretty or Strong? Redefining Female Beauty in Sports
I had the opportunity to discuss female athletes, body images and societal perceptions of beauty on Al Jazeera English this week. Its such an important topic and happens to be trending right now thanks to Serena Williams. Check out the video below and let me know your thoughts!
How to Eliminate Double Faults
We've all been there- on a crucial point, when opening the match or after a big break of serve committing that dreaded double fault. Some of us experience agonizing episodes of multiple double faults throughout a game or match. It hurts to give away those free points but its debilitating not knowing how to eliminate/control them.
As we have learned from this beautiful game, almost all our mistakes are caused by a combination of a technical error and a blocking mental belief. In the case of the serve, (where we hold the reigns of our match destiny) – one can easily create many detrimental negative and irrational beliefs.
Junior players easily fall prey to this cycle e.g. "My serves suck… I double faulted… I'm going to double fault again… I'm going to lose this match… I am a loser…I'm just a waste of a person."
I've personally worked through this issue and have had the opportunity to work with junior and adults players on this issue. Here is my most recent student and our approach to the solution.
Case Study
Background: One of my students from New Jersey, a top girls junior player was in town for the 14 and under Girls National Clay Court Championships. She was coming off a tournament and had 1.5 days before her first Clay Courts match.
Problem/Challenge: The player has been having episodes of multiple double faults. 15-20 double faults in her matches. She was feeling very low about her serve and ability to win matches. Wanted to prepare for her tournament on Sunday 8am.
Solution: With not much time on our side we got right to work. I first had her write down 2 statements that she felt were holding her back from winning more matches. She came up with:
1. My serves are not good
2. I can't close out games
(we'll come back to these)
Next we took a look at her serve. Sure enough her toss was the number 1 culprit for her double faults. It was too high, inconsistent and going all over the map. She had not developed the discipline to stop, catch and re-toss bad tosses. As a result, she had no rhythm to her serve and very little consistency. We hypothesized a better toss would take care of 50% of her serve errors.
What we did:
We drew a semi-circle in front of her serve stance and drew out times, 12 pm, 1pm and 2pm. With 2pm exactly inline with her front foot, she was asked to toss the ball at 2pm. Initially she found this extremely difficult and lacked toss awareness (could not predict a good vs. bad toss). Within a few minutes (with me adding pressure for her to get it right), she was able to toss more accurately. The results were immediate, cleaner hits, more serves in, more power etc.
The second thing we did was to create her unique serve rhythm. I asked her to singsong a count that matched her serve. 1(ready)-2(backswing/toss)-3(scratch back)-4(hit). Her unique rhythm allowed her to be more aware of bad tosses as they would interrupt her rhythm and it gave her MUCH better timing.
We went on to play points, match strategy and she drew a semi-circle clock for guidance. The results were astounding, from 3/10 first serves she made 7/10 and 8/10 second serves. By our second session practice, she made 1 double fault in our set.
Back to her hindering beliefs. I asked her to negate both statements with 6 true statements that she felt were 100% true.
HINDERING BELIEF: My serves are not good
→ It's not my serves that are bad, it's the toss that needs adjustments.
→ There have been many matches where my serves have been great.
→I have had times in matches where I can make 10-12 first serves in a row
→ A lot of people have trouble with their serves, it doesn't make me a bad player.
→ I feel like I have good technique overall on my serve
NEW BELIEF: My serves are good :)
HINDERING BELIEF: I can't close out games
→ It's not that I lose every game where I'm up, I win many of them.
→ I just need a bit more focus on my game points to convert them.
→ On my game points I don't play any different then on other points so all I need is a little more focus on points such as 40-15, 40-30 etc.
NEW BELIEF: I can close out games!
Result: In her first round match win, she only made 5 double faults! A 66% improvement within 24 hours!

Big Baskets
I must admit I have a weakness for baskets, especially oversized ones. The warmth of the material and its unfussy aesthetic make this simple storage solution the perfect addition to any room. And really, I mean any room. I noticed that I'd been adding baskets to my Pinterest boards for a while now, always finding new and inspiring places to use them. Here are a few of my favourites:
My new favourite spot for big baskets is the kitchen (this stunning kitchen is Anthropologie's Glen Senk and Keith Johnson's) — it's great for storing extra baking pans or towels. If you have a basket with a lid, it would be ideal to keep your bulk goods like potatoes or onions.
Baskets get the most use in a hallway or mudroom. Whether nestled beside a hutch or tucked under a bench, a basket will keep all your messy, muddy or wet gear neatly in one place.
Use one as a decorative planter or to hold fireplace wood — there are no wrong ways to use baskets, anything goes!
And in a bathroom, a basket is always better than a plastic hamper!
If you're looking for a good oversized basket, keep an eye out at HomeSense, which is where I found most of mine. Crate & Barrel also carries many shapes and sizes on a regular basis. If you're looking for a specific shape, take a look at Bacon Basketware Limited, which is a also House & Home favourite.
You can also give an old basket a quick makeover with an easy paint-dip treatment. Check out our DIY video here.

We publish and distribute directories in print. Customer names, addresses and telephone numbers are included in these directories without restriction to their use. Mid-Rivers is required by law to provide customer names, addresses and telephone numbers to unaffiliated directory publishers and directory assistance providers for their use in creating directories and offering directory assistance.

Mid-Rivers does not sell CPNI in any form, including billing records, types of service, and calling habits to third parties. Unless it first obtains a customer's approval through FCC-approved methods, Mid-Rivers only uses CPNI for marketing purposes among categories of service to which the customer already subscribes. With customer approval, Mid-Rivers may share CPNI across product lines within the company and among company affiliates to better serve your communication needs.
We do not provide CPNI to any third party or affiliate, except as required by law or in the normal course of business, as explained below.
Under Federal Law, you have the right to, and we have the duty to protect the confidentiality of your telecommunications service information. Although it is Mid-Rivers' policy not to use or provide CPNI to others for marketing purposes, under Federal Communications Commission rules, without further authorization from you, we can use CPNI to offer you services of the type you already purchase from us, or we may share CPNI with our affiliates that offer different categories of service, if they already have an existing service relationship with you. Mid-Rivers has an affiliate that offers wireless and CATV services.
As mentioned previously, Mid-Rivers only uses CPNI for marketing purposes among categories of service to which the customer already subscribes.

Some people take to blogging because they want to share their expertise or stories with other people. And then there are those people who take to blogging to make some extra cash.
If you're interested in making money off your blog, you have probably read tons of blogs that tell you what you can do. But if you're new to blogging, some of these ideas may have been way over your head and ability. If you're a beginner blogger and you want to make some extra money, the following are easy ways that you and your lack of blogging experience can generate some extra cash through your blog.
PPC Ads
PPC stands for pay per click, and PPC ads are a great way to earn some extra money from your blog. Simply use a tool like Google AdSense to help you. Google AdSense will look over the content on your blog and place ads on your blog that are relevant to your content. Any time an ad is clicked through from your blog, you will earn money. The amount will vary depending on the ad and your site's level of traffic, but it can be a great way for you to earn some extra money every month.
Chances are you're already using widgets on your blog, so why not use those that will help you make money, such as Gadget Ads. These widgets will work like a PPC ad, with each respective widget placing appropriate ads on your site that have a higher chance of getting clicked through. When the widgets are clicked on, you earn money. Simple as that.
Text Ads
Have you ever been reading a blog and came across some larger underlined content right smack dab in the middle of the blog? These are known as in text ads. Though they don't look like traditional advertisements, they are. The content is linked to another site, and every time this text is clicked on, you will earn money.
Affiliate Marketing
Another great way to earn money while blogging is to become an affiliate. Companies like Best Buy and Amazon will provide you with a special link to their products, and anytime a purchase is made using your link, you will earn money. You can easily make recommendations to your audience about products you used and loved, and you may make some money.
Backlinks are a great way to generate traffic to other sites and play an important role in a site's overall page ranking. If your blog earns a large amount of readers, you can offer to provide backlinks to other websites for a fee. This is much harder to do than post some PPC ads or widgets to your site, but it can still earn you some extra money through your blog.
Guest Blog
If you have valuable content to share with other blogs, make sure that you promote the fact that you're willing to guest blog. Some guest bloggers charge a fee for their posts while others just accept the backlinks to their site as their "payment". If you want to make some extra money, promote your willingness to guest blog and decide on a set price you want to charge. Just note that this will only work best for those bloggers who have a dedicated following and who are admired as an expert.
Making money off your blog is not a hard task, and you don't need to be a seasoned and experienced blogger in order to make some extra cash. Just use these suggestions, and you'll soon find checks coming in the mail.
