Palestinians in Gaza speak of life under Israeli occupation.
"The Islam of Timbuktu was taken hostage"
11 Nov 2012 11:43 GMT | Politics, Europe, Slovenia
Slovenia, an ex-Yugoslav republic, has opened polls to vote for a new president.
The post to be decided on in Sunday's vote is largely ceremonial, but the present head of state, Danilo Turk, has been a thorn in the side of centre-right Prime Minister Janez Jansa as he attempted to implement reforms and austerity cuts.
Opinion polls indicate, however, that Turk will come first in the election, although not with enough of the vote to win in the first round.
A second round run-off, likely pitting Turk against Jansa's centre-left predecessor Borut Pahor, is set for December 2.
Slovenia, once a model EU country is in the throes of one of the deepest downturns in the eurozone with the European Commission predicting last week that output will shrink a painful 2.3 per cent this year and 1.6 per cent in 2013.
Large volumes of bad loans at Slovenia's banks have raised fears that the country of two million people may become the latest in the 17-nation European currency union to need outside help.
Slovenia's credit ratings have been slashed, mostly because of the banks, and borrowing rates on its sovereign debt have soared to seven per cent, a level regarded as unsustainable in the long term without assistance.
A new government led by Jansa took office in February after the collapse of Pahor's administration last year and has launched a series of austerity measures aimed at stabilising public finances and reforming the country's pension and labour systems.
During the electoral campaign Turk, 60, a law professor who worked at the United Nations under former secretary general Kofi Annan, openly and repeatedly questioned Jansa's policies.
"The economic situation is difficult, but not extraordinary. There is no use of dramatising the situation and threatening. The government's assessments of the situation are more alarming than they should be," Turk warned during one television debate.

IPL-7: RCB will once again bank on power-packed batting line up
Zee Media Bureau/Chaitan Papnai
New Delhi: Bangalore based franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore, have always been a batting powerhouse since the inception of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the forthcoming edition of the cash-rich league, they will once again rely on their batting to lift their maiden IPL trophy.
This year too, RCB have one of the most dangerous batting lineups in the League. First they retained three destructive batsmen in the shortest format of the game -- Chris Gayle, AB de Villers and Virat Kohli. And then during the IPL-7 auction they bought another hard-hitting batsman in Yuvraj Singh at whopping sum of 14 crore, which also made him the costliest buy of the season.
The monstrous hitter of the cricket ball, Gayle has been performing exceptionally well for his franchise for quite some time now and has been the backbone of the team. In Virat Kohli they have an aggressive skipper who is also known for his consistency with the bat. His sublime form at international level, across all formats, will be an added advantage.
In AB they have one of the best finishers of the game, who can tear-apart any bowling line-up in the world. AB has proved his mettle many a times in the past and in T20 format he has a Taylor-made batting style.
However, Yuvraj Singh faced criticism from many corners after his slow knock in the final of recently concluded World Twenty20, he is a comeback king and would be all set to silence his critics by his performance in the League.
This time around, RCB have a few utility fast bowlers as well in their squad. In Ravi Rampaul, Albie Morkel, Mitchell Starc and Ashok Dinda they have a bunch of experienced speedsters. And Muttiah Muralitharan in the spin department make their bowling unit a decent one.
But still the onus would be on their swashbuckling batsmen to perform throughout the seventh edition and win the maiden IPL title for their franchise.

I am looking to build a Chabudai for my family to use as a dining table. If anyone as any information as to where I might get plans on to build one of these tables it would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the internet but have not had any luck as of yet. A Chabudai is a low Japanese table.
Thank you,

This classic sunblock has everything we want in a daily SPF. The eco-friendly formula is made with 70 percent certified organic ingredients and protects from both UVA rays that lead to premature aging and UVB rays that cause painful burns. The skin-balancing formula features vitamin C-rich strawberry extracts to soothe and tone lackluster skin while age-reversing antioxidants like evening primrose, acai, and linseed oils deflect free radicals. Plus, the refreshing cucumber scent gives us yet another reason to love the lightweight formula.
I'm not one for the whole cucumber scent simply because in most casenarios it's ridiculously over powering and over priced because it says it's made of cucumber. I don't see myself purchasing the full size any time soon because it's almost $30 and I have better uses for my money, however, loved this product.5
First off, I love how it barely smells like anything. I always find it strange when products for the face have strong smells, who wants to put perfume that close to their mouth/eyes/nose? But this has a perfect hint of cucumber. It goes on thinly so I didn't feel like it made my face oily. The only negative is that the already tint sample bottle felt like it was only half-full, so there was really only around 2 uses in it.5

Bulgaria Once Again in Fog
A code yellow for potentially dangerous weather has been declared in 12 regions of Bulgaria, as a result of the thick fog.
The fog is obscuring the vision of drivers in Vidin, Montana, Vratsa, Pleven, Veliko Tarnovo, Ruse, Burgas, Yambol, Sliven, Stara Zagora, Haskovo, and Plovdiv, says the National Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
The fog is affecting mostly the plains, but is likely to diffuse by the afternoon hours of Friday.
Last week, much of Bulgaria was engulfed in heavy fog, including the capital Sofia. Doctors warned of increasing levels of pollution in the air, while a number of traffic accidents resulted from the limited visibility.

Driving the Future of Cohesive Solutions: ALK's One-Stop Shop
We're thrilled to announce our first-ever integration of ALK Maps and our Transportation Solutions suite with Cargas Systems, a company known for its cloud accounting, ERP & CRM software, consulting, and application development. The integration includes four of our core products:
- ALK®Maps with PC*MILER® Web Services for high-quality map and route visualization with industry-specific commercial routing and restrictions;
- CoPilot® TruckTM for safe, accurate, load-specific navigation; and
- RouteSync® for sending planned routes in the back office directly to CoPilot Truck in the vehicle for route compliance
The integration is within Cargas' Energy software, specifically designed for fuel delivery and HVAC service companies. ALK provided Cargas a specialized solution that would not only provide industry-specific routing, navigation and map visualization capabilities, but also allowed for communication between its Route Builder and Real-Time Mobile applications.
"Our suite of solutions provides the consistency between planned and driven routes that is vital to business success." – ALK's Senior Vice President, Enterprise Solutions, Dan Popkin
The ALK Advantage
ALK Maps, powered by PC*MILER, is the foundation of the solution, providing map visualization for real time vehicle and asset tracking, as well as commercial and hazardous materials routing vital to their business planning.
Cargas also integrated CoPilot Truck, which provides voice-guided turn-by-turn directions based on vehicle dimensions and load. If a driver accidentally strays from the planned route, CoPilot Truck automatically re-calculates and safety guides them back to the route.
True route compliance is achieved with the final addition, RouteSync. With RouteSync, planned routes created in Route Builder are sent directly to drivers' Real Time Mobile Application running CoPilot Truck. This piece is critical, as it produces operational consistency between dispatch and navigation , while reducing out-of-route mileage.
In an industry that thrives and depends on the latest technology innovation, our goal is to provide cohesive solutions that help your fleet achieve operational consistency, efficiency, and productivity. Learn more about the ALK Advantage and our suite of solutions or speak with one of our product experts 800-377-6453.

ALK is Pleased to Present PC*MILER 29
Now with the HOS Manager
ALK's product, data, development and design teams work diligently together throughout the year to execute a roadmap of new features and functionality for our annual PC*MILER release. Using valued feedback from users, as well as our support and sales teams, we've expanded PC*MILER's capabilities to provide tools for safer, more compliant and cost-effective routing, mileage and mapping.
User feedback is always essential. We also take into consideration issues regarding industry trends and regulations to ensure we're delivering a product that meets those demands.
In PC*MILER 29 we're really excited about the new Hours of Service (HOS) Manager to help route plans stay compliant. HOS regulations have become a national industry issue and therefore, became our primary focus for PC*MILER 29. Now, users are able to factor in and save HOS rest break and stop duration times directly into planned routes. With this precision, it becomes easier to achieve operational consistency, convey realistic ETAs, and ultimately increase ROI. Additionally, we enhanced our route planning tools to allow users to search and display Points of Interest (POIs) along a scheduled route.
PC*MILER's Powerful Enhancements *
Accurate toll cost data, predictive traffic routing, and least cost routing options*
Live fuel prices from Pilot Flying J updated every 30 minutes
Search and display POIs along a route for improved route planning

Safe & Attentive – Distracted Driving Awareness Month
Distractions – they're everywhere, but what happens when you're the one who's distracted and you're behind the wheel? In 2013, 3,154 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers.
April is dedicated to educating drivers about the dangers of this deadly epidemic.
Distracted driving includes texting, eating and drinking, talking to passengers, grooming, reading, adjusting your music, and a long list of others. There are three main types of distractions: visual, manual, and cognitive. When a driver is using a cell phone, all three of these become affected, making it the most unsafe situation for drivers, passengers, and others outside of the vehicle.
We understand that even navigation apps on a mobile device can be a distraction, which is why driver safety is at the heart of the design of our CoPilot navigation apps. CoPilot is designed specifically to help people keep their eyes on the road and not on the screen. We make sure the maps are decluttered and provide only the necessary information on the screen. The screen instructions are displayed large enough to be viewed from a distance and are also read out loud as voice-guided directions.
We urge you to review and follow these tips to reduce driver distractions while using mobile navigation in a car:
1. Always enter your destination location into your device prior to beginning the route. If your plans change mid-trip and you need to edit the destination, pull over to a rest stop or parking lot to re-enter the data.
2. Position your navigation device in a secure and visible location.
3. Keep your radio at a low volume so you are able to clearly hear the voice-guided directions.
At ALK, we also offer a navigation solution to help reduce driver distractions in the trucking industry. By entering vehicle dimensions or attributes such as load type, weight and vehicle size, into CoPilot Truck prior to departure, drivers are guided along the safest routes, helping to avoid dangerous situations like bridge strikes or driving on roads with weight limits.
Take a moment to look into the facts & statistics on the consequences of distracted driving and make your pledge to become a more attentive and safe driver today.

DAT Keypoint Software Integrates ALK Maps
PORTLAND, O.R. and PRINCETON, N.J.—April 14, 2015—DAT Solutions, a leading provider of actionable information for the transportation industry, and ALK, a Trimble Company and global leader in GeoLogistics® solutions and navigation software, today announced that ALK® Maps is now integrated with DAT Keypoint® broker transportation management software (TMS).
For freight brokers and 3PLs using DAT Keypoint with ALK Maps, data that used to appear as lists is now presented visually on a map. Users can see pick-up and delivery locations of all their current loads, along with total miles and estimated arrival times. The software also can optimize routes based on certain parameters, such as minimizing toll roads or finding routes that allow hazardous materials.
"Knowing the total mileage of a load is important, but seeing on a map that a load has to travel through three major metropolitan areas gives you a much better picture," said Steve Blair, general manager of DAT Keypoint. Read More…

Pleasantly Perfect, who finished third in defense of his title in the Breeders' Cup Classic – Powered by Dodge (gr. I), has been retired from racing after suffering an injury to the left hind ankle. The 6-year-old son of Pleasant Colony is scheduled to arrive at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Ky., in a week or 10 days. Lane's End bought an interest in Pleasantly Perfect's breeding rights in late September from Gerald Ford's Diamond A Racing Corp. and later announced a $40,000 stud fee."Trainer Richard Mandella thought Pleasantly Perfect kicked the starting gate," Farish said. "There's nothing seriously wrong with the horse, but he would miss a week or 10 days in preparation for the Japan Cup (Jpn-I)."Pleasantly Perfect retired as racing's fourth-leading money winner, with earnings of $7,789,880. He won nine of 18 races, including this year's Pacific Classic Stakes (gr. I), Emirates Airlines Dubai World Cup (UAE-I), and San Antonio Handicap (gr. II). Bred by Robin Scully's Clovelly Farms and a $725,000 Keeneland September yearling, Pleasant Perfect is out of the group I stakes-winning Affirmed mare Regal State.

It no secret the Buzz and Lisa are big fans of the HBO show "Game of Thrones." Not only does the show have a cult following, it also has a very memorable theme song. Another thing that has always been popular is the epic video game "Super Mario World."
As everybody is flocking to the movie theaters to see the remake of "Godzilla" I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if we knew what the big lizard was thinking as he destroys the buildings in whichever city he is in.
Check out this amazing video of a security camera that captures a tornado hitting a school playground in Mississippi.
Check out this video in which a couple of guys have decided to fight each other but just as the fight is starting one of the guys performs and amazing 360 degree slap that ends the fight right then and there.
A couple of new vids for you today peeps, and they both RAWK!!
As everybody knows, I love to workout. And if you want to get the best out of a workout, you need to eat protein, a lot of protein. So check out this video that makes fun of guys like me that spend hours at the gym
These videos i had posted years ago but I saw it today and forgot just have funny it is.
Cats may be the jerks of domestic animals but that just makes them awesome. Some people are beginning to realize that metal fans and cats go together perfectly. You can find photo books that focus on metal musicians with their cats and now you can find videos of cats joining in on their owners jam sessions.
Drugs are bad. If you don't believe me, just check out 28-year-old Darren Staats as he climbs a occupied van, beats in the roof, then strips naked and taunts police. In his defense, he probably was so high he thought it was a dragon and who doesn't want to ride a dragon?
The movie gods have blessed us today as Sony Pictures has just debuted the final trailer for director Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2
A video posted on YouTube has caught the attention of the Los Angeles Police Department. Two alleged L.A. gang members named "Creeper" and "Wino" say they are in "Syria, gangbangin'."

Videohippos is a duo from Baltimore consisting of Jim Triplett (guitar/vocals/keys) and Kevin O'Meara (drums/vocals/keys.) Self-described as a "two-man audio-visual monster," the two have been playing music together since 1997 in various groups, and they are now signed to Monitor Records with a debut album on the way this summer. "Unbeast The Leash", due June 19th, contains thirteen tracks of electric (and toy) guitar, addictive beats via electronic toy keyboards and the right-on-time drumming of Kevin O'Meara overlapped by the infectiously odd-sounding pop melodies of Jim Triplett. Videohippos along with tour-mates Lizz King and OCDJ are part of Baltimore's Wham City art collective. OCDJ and Bone Guardian have dropped off the bill

Using the new-vehicle VIN decoding feature within Kelley Blue Book's products, customers can quickly obtain all the new-vehicle information they need without having to utilize a third-party provider or other applications, allowing easy access to key Kelley Blue Book Values. Additional information available by new-vehicle VIN includes year, make, model, engine, transmission and drivetrain information, as well as factory-installed options, standard equipment and additional optional equipment. All information is updated weekly, ensuring market-reflective valuations are at partners' fingertips.
Valuation data available by new-vehicle VIN includes invoice, manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and Fair Purchase Price. The Kelley Blue Book® Fair Purchase Price reflects the price consumers are typically paying a dealer for a selected new vehicle in the current week. Statistical models utilize actual transactions at the retail level from across the country to validate or revise the Fair Purchase Price every week, as market conditions and consumer trends shift.
"The latest update in our suite of industry solutions ensures that customers can easily access helpful VIN-specific data and timely, relevant Kelley Blue Book Values for any vehicle in the marketplace, whether new or used, all in one place," said Dan Ingle, vice president of valuations and industry products for Kelley Blue Book. "We are committed to being a dynamic business partner for our customers, leveraging Kelley Blue Book's nearly 90 years of vehicle information and expertise to provide trusted values, unparalleled data and integration tools for both new and used vehicles."
All VIN-related information is obtained from factory data, and includes manufacturer's order codes. Kelley Blue Book also provides all associated VIN trims, if more than one is determined.
Kelley Blue Book's industry solutions that now feature new-vehicle VIN decoding include InfoDriver Data, InfoDriver Web Service, InfoDriver Batch VIN, KARPOWER Online and Quick Values. Kelley Blue Book provides vehicle values and information through its suite of industry products to car dealers, auto manufacturers, finance and insurance companies, banks, credit unions, governmental agencies, websites and more.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, will appear on CBS' "The Early Show" for an interview scheduled to air Friday.
CBS says the interview is being taped Thursday in Los Angeles.
Last week, Johnston filed papers to run for office in his hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, next year.
While Johnston has not officially declared which political office he aspires to, his manager, Tank Jones, has said Johnston is interested in a run for mayor or City Council. Earlier this month, Jones confirmed the 20-year-old Johnston planned to run for office as part of a reality TV show.
Wasilla is where Palin, the former Alaska governor and the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, got her political start, first as a council member and then as mayor.

Title: Growing Big Red Sage from Seed in San Antonio
Answered by: Mike Tomme
QUESTION:I harvested some seed this year from my Big Red Salvia (Salvia penstemonoides). I have searched multiple sites looking for information on growing this wonderful salvia but cannot locate any information on seed preparation (if required) and best time to sow the seeds. Can you answer this question for me please?
Salvia penstemonoides (Big red sage), aka big red Salvia is grown easily from seed or it can be propagated by root division or from cuttings. No special seed preparation is necessary. Fall is the best time to plant for spring blooms.
If you want to get your plants started in seed starting containers, here is a link that tells you how to do that: How to germinate salvia seeds. Also, here is a link with some general advice about growing Salvia: Growing Salvia.
Finally, here is a link to a previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer about growing big red sage.

Milo Ventimiglia - Wizard World Comic Con Chicago 2015 - Day 2 - Inside at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Comic Con - Rosemont, Illinois, United States - Friday 21st August 2015
Jason Statham may be playing essentially the same character he always plays, but this noir-style thriller has a somewhat groovier tone thanks to the Las Vegas setting and a scruffy William Goldman script. It's also directed with wit and energy by Simon West, who keeps everything moving very briskly. Although not fast enough for us to miss the fact that it's all rather thin and pointless.
As always, Statham is a former black-ops agent whose jaded, frazzled exterior obscures his fighting-fit action moves. His name this time is Nick Wild, and he works as a bodyguard for wealthy clients like Cyrus (Michael Angarano), who needs protection as he visits Vegas casinos with vast sums of money. He also has a lot to learn from Nick about gambling and wants to learn some of those action moves too. Meanwhile, Nick's ex-girlfriend Holly (Dominik Garcia-Lorido) asks him to help her get revenge against the swaggering gangster Donny (Milo Vengimiglia), who kidnapped and viciously terrorised her. Nick knows that getting even with Donny will put him on a collision course with mob kingpin Baby (Stanley Tucci), but he can't resist a challenge.
Nick is one of those characters who can't resist much. He's addicted to high-stakes blackjack, life-threatening confrontations and his own seedy poverty. So clearly the goal of the screenplay is to find some sort of uneasy redemption. Statham has played this role before in his sleep, so he looks almost bored here, which makes him vaguely intriguing. His gimmick this time is an ability to turn everyday objects into lethal weapons, including a seriously nasty moment with a pair of hedge clippers. It also helps that the film is packed with colourful scene-stealers who add plenty of badly needed spark, including a ripped Ventimiglia and the reliably wonderful Tucci, plus lively cameos from the likes of Sofia Vergara and Anne Heche.

The shift from bright comedy to rather grim drama is gradual enough to carry the audience along, but it's rather startling to end up somewhere so serious after such a cheeky start. Director Anna Mastro and writer Paul Shoulberg set this up as a breezy coming-of-age movie before adding a supernatural twist and quietly moving the goal posts. Fortunately, the strong cast and assured filmmaking carry the audience along. So even if it ultimately begins to feel melodramatic, it's also surprisingly moving and meaningful.
Convinced that he has been called by God to decide who goes to heaven and hell, 18-year-old Walter (Andrew J. West) is a perfectionist who maintains order in his life both at home with his over-concerned mother Karen (Virginia Madsen) and at his job taking tickets in the local multiplex. At work, he has his eye on the smart-sexy Kendall (Levin Rambin), but is too shy to speak to her and is teased mercilessly about this by bullying colleague Vince (Milo Ventimiglia). Then a ghost named Greg (Justin Kirk) starts taunting him as well, and Walter finally agrees to see a shrink (William H. Macy) in the hopes of restoring order to his life.
Of course, the point is that Walter doesn't need order: he needs to face up to the truth about the death of his father (Peter Facinelli in flashbacks). But the more he acknowledges, the more his life seems to unravel around him. This is played beautifully by West, a likeable actor who manages to get even more engaging as Walter falls apart. His interaction with the rest of the cast is pointed and witty, packed with knowing commentary and some sharply funny observations. And all of the actors around him bring layers of emotion and energy to the film.
Continue reading: Walter Review
Nick Wild (Jason Statham) is working as a Las Vegas bodyguard for hire, mainly due to his lethal professional skills, but also because of a slight gambling problem he has. Unfortunately for Wild, he allows business to get mixed up with his personal life, as he chooses to help a friend of his that gets savagely beaten by a Vegas thug. After extracting a bloody revenge on the thug, Wild finds his simple little existence challenged by an entire crime family that seem hell-bent on sending him to a shallow grave in the desert. Wild knows that one way or another, he's not gonna be in Vegas by the morning.

While the tone is all wrong, this fantastical version of a momentous year in the life of Grace Kelly is still entertaining, and not just unintentionally. Lavishly designed and heavily fictionalised, the film is anchored by a solid movie-star performance from Nicole Kidman that may miss Kelly's persona but captures an intriguing inner life.
It's set in 1961, five years after Grace (Kidman) left her Oscar-winning career to marry Monaco's Prince Rainier (Tim Roth). Now with two kids, she is still struggling to define her role as a foreign-born princess while considering a return to Hollywood. Meanwhile, France is ominously threatening Monaco with embargoes and more if Rainier doesn't start taxing his population and paying the money to France. Taking advice from her priest friend Tucker (Frank Langella), Grace decides to devote herself to her husband to help solve the crisis. This will require training with an etiquette guru (Derek Jacobi) as well as fending off the in-laws (Geraldine Somerville and Nicholas Farrell). And it may mean that she'll never return to the movies.
The script by producer Arash Amel presents each of Grace's decisions in the most simplistic melodramatic light, as director Olivier Dahan cuts to yet another extreme close-up of Kidman's weeping eyes. The corny approach undermines any chance at real drama, as the filmmakers keep trying to crank up suspense (someone is leaking secrets!) or emotion (the people need a champion!) without building up any meaningful substance. This makes most of the plotting feel rather laughably silly, centred around a painfully dull series of political negotiations.

Milo Ventimiglia - Entertainment Weekly and ABC Network 2014 Upfront Presentation - Arrivals - Manhattan, New York, United States - Wednesday 14th May 2014
Grace Kelly is one of the most famous and most beloved Hollywood actresses in the world having won an Academy Award and two Golden Globes among others, and having starred in some of the most exciting films of the fifties. In 1955, her life changes dramatically when she catches the eye of the charming Prince Rainier III of Monaco who is on the lookout for the perfect wife. After three days of meeting, wedding plans begin and the high profile of such an event forces Grace to give up acting. Their marriage is about to be seriously tested, however, as Grace is offered a new screen role and she is itching to get back in front of the cameras. Unfortunately for her, nobody is in agreement with her continuing in film as a bad role could mar her royal reputation.
'Grace Of Monaco' is the dramatic onscreen biography of actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly, who was well-known for appearing in several of Alfred Hitchcock's films. It has been directed by the BAFTA nominated Olivier Dahan ('La Vie en Rose', 'Ghost River', 'Crimson Rivers 2') and written by Arash Amel ('The Expatriate'). The film is set to be released in the UK on June 6th 2014.
NBC say the surprising return is 'shrouded in secrecy'
'Heroes' was one of the most talked dramas on television when it aired in 2006, initially being well received as an original concept, then because of the stark dip in quality, which became an in-joke for the media's more satirical outlets.
Remember 'Heroes'? Well, It's Back.
Now, it seems, Heroes is back for more. The studio plan to bring the show back in 2015 as a miniseries - imaginatively titled: 'Heroes Reborn.' NBC aired a teaser during its Olympics coverage on Saturday, giving fans of the cult hit a real thrill.

Good news for any Heroes fans out there – NBC is reviving its hit show in miniseries form. NBC announced the news during its Olympic broadcast on Saturday. The new show, appropriately titled Heroes: Reborn will premiere in 2015 and get a 13-episode run, according to E! News. The series even got a brief teaser during the Olympic coverage.
The big question is, which of the original actors will return?

It's not the first show to be promoted over Twitter, but it might be the first to "air" there as well.
Social media isn't on the rise any more, it's booming and taking over in new and creative ways, as TNT's promotional stunt for their upcoming Mob City demonstrates. The channel will promote its "three-week television event," by tweeting out the script for the first episode, in its entirety, 140 characters at a time.
Jon Bernthal stars in this inovative (at least in its promotion) drama.
We wouldn't worry about spoilers though, since even followers of the show's Twitter (@MobCityTNT) probably won't be able to keep up with the hundreds of statuses this is bound to produce. The "adaptweetion" will go live line by line, two days before the premiere, the network has announced, via Deadline. The project, a collaboration between TNT and Deutsch NY is a 1940s period series, focusing on 1940s Los Angeles.

Grace Kelly is one of the most loved women of the past 100 years. The former Hollywood star was a favourite of the silver screen, but that was only really the beginning of her journey. When Grace Kelly fell in love with Prince Rainier III of Monaco, her personal life turned into a story that could rival that of a classic fairy tale.
Though not from royal stock, Grace is to many their favourite royal to have lived; beauty, elegance and a gentle and nurturing nature only added to the appeal of Grace throughout the world.
Nicole Kidman now takes on one of her most difficult roles to date and plays the much loved actress. Set in the 1960's whilst her husband, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, faced invasion by the French over tax disputes, the princess was also facing one of the most turbulent times of her life. Grace of Monaco was directed by Oscar winner Olivier Dahan (La Vie En Rose) and written by relative newcomer Arash Amel.
Benjamin Ford is an American war veteran living in a remote area of the Appalachian Mountains in an attempt to get away from his painful recollections from the Bosnian War. Any prospect of social interaction and he can't help but make excuses, owing to his desperate need for solitude. Nonetheless, when he offers a lift to a hitchhiking European tourist named Emil Kovac, he finds himself pleased with the company and the pair set out to go hunting together. However, Kovac turns out to be more than just a tourist when he attempts to shoot Ford with an arrow. He is a former Serbian soldier from the Bosnian War who has tracked Ford down in a bid to even a score between them and the two of them become enveloped in a ruthless chase to the death.

Lack of a quorum a leash for council
Relevant offers
A council meeting scheduled this week to discuss submissions on dog control rules in Nelson did not proceed after not enough councillors turned up.
A workshop was held instead when there were too few councillors to form a quorum to deliberate on submissions to the draft dog control policy and bylaw review.
More than 300 submissions were received by Nelson City Council from people wanting another say on the amended draft dog control policy and bylaw. It replaced that sent out for public consultation earlier this year, after councillors decided to fine tune the proposal and go back to the public out of concern the decision could have been open to legal challenge to the consultation process.
Deputy mayor Ali Boswijk, who chaired Tuesday's meeting, was one of only six councillors who turned up within the legal timeframe allowed to form a quorum for a council meeting.
She made the call to hold a workshop, with the aim of providing guidance to council staff on the discussion.
Council staff and members of the public had set aside time to attend the meeting.
Mrs Boswijk was joined by councillors Ian Barker, Pete Rainey, Mike Ward, Kate Fulton and Derek Shaw. Councillor Eric Davy notified the meeting of his intended late arrival, while apologies were not received from Paul Matheson or Jeff Rackley.
Mr Barker advised against continuing, on the grounds it could lead to problems.
"It's dangerous if something has the potential to be challenged. The limited number of councillors here make this risky - people who may be aggrieved could take issue with this," Mr Barker said.
Mrs Boswijk said councillors could discuss the submissions in a workshop format but could not make a recommendation to the council.
"Our focus is going to be methodical and we have to turn our minds to every submission made to ensure we are considering all," she said.
The councillors discussed a key focus of the submissions which revolved around whether dogs should be on or off leads in popular dog walking areas, including horticultural parks, cemeteries, beside state highways and on urban streets and footpaths, the mudflats at Delaware Inlet, along the Maitai walkway, and around the playing area of sports fields.
Many submitters felt dogs should be on leads in horticultural parks, which sparked considerable debate among councillors, who felt an exception could be made at Isel Park. The council's 2004 policy and bylaw states dogs should be on leads in these areas, but the council proposes changing the rule to off-lead.
Mr Rainey said consistency was important and dogs should be on leads in all horticultural parks.
"My suggestion is that dogs should be on lead in these areas. Commonsense should prevail."
Mr Barker said asking people to put their dogs on a lead there was like asking people to "push their bikes down a cycleway".
Ms Fulton said in an overview of all the discussion around dogs that the onus was on dog owners to be as responsible as they could, while the council was trying to allow as much freedom as possible.
The workshop will be used to guide council staff on bringing back a revised document for the council to adopt as it stands, or with changes.
