Kristen Bell happy about new show 'House of Lies'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Kristen Bell is such a fan of "Homeland" that she just had to tell the cast of the hit Showtime drama at a recent party.
"I felt at one point one of them kind of take a step back like, `She's a little intense,' and then I got insecure like, `Oh, no, you're THAT person,'" she relates.
Now Bell is sharing a network with her favorite show with her new series, "House of Lies," about a management consulting firm that specializes in damage control. The show debuts Sunday night at 10 p.m. EST on Showtime.
The 31-year-old Bell first wowed critics playing a teen private investigator on the smart series "Veronica Mars," which debuted in 2004 and aired for three seasons. The film industry took notice and began casting her in such movies as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Couples Retreat." She also narrates "Gossip Girl" as the show's title character.
Bell realized she missed TV but wanted to do something edgier than anything she had done before. She also liked the idea of being part of an ensemble cast. She found what she was looking in "House of Lies."
The blistering comedy stars Don Cheadle as a slick, ruthless management consultant. Bell plays the ambitious Jeannie, who loves the high life but can flirt with the low life.
"If he's a great actor he's an even cooler person and I don't think there's a ton of people you can say that about," Bell says about Cheadle. "But he's a really genuine, grounded, nice, funny guy."
Bell, who grew up in suburban Detroit, trained in opera and performed in community theater. She went on to study at New York University where she won a role her senior year in the 2001 Broadway musical "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," which ran less than a month.
Bell says she misses musical theater but doesn't feel comfortable leaving her family and friends in California for a long stretch of time in New York. She is engaged to Dax Shepard, who co-stars on the drama "Parenthood" on NBC. The two recently produced and starred in a film together called "Outrun" which is expected to hit theaters next summer. Shepard also directed.
"We actually grew closer by spending every single minute together for about nine weeks," she says. "We drove to work together and we came home together. ... It's very organic for us to spend every moment together. We're severely co-dependent. It's a disease!"

Most challenging was having an unstructured day and ending up spending NEARLY ALL of it in bed AGAIN.. Really, if I can''t get up and go, so many other things seem pointless because with sleeping, nothing else constructive is going to happen in that time. In some AA-related things I came across (not an alcoholic, just a fan of the 12 step, moderate lifestyle) they talk about knowing the will of God and making it simple based on things known. Earth-shattering and simple as it is, for an alcoholic God''s will is that they be sober.. Its something that can be inferred or assumed as a basic will. For me, Gods will might be that I stay awake. Obviously I can''t stay awake 24/7 but beyond the 8-10 hrs a night.. that I be awake, because I can''t do anything, work on myself, work for others, work on my goals and dreams, if I am sleeping the time away.

So, we find all the reasons to fight depression, that heavy thing weighting you down from achieving, achieving your goals, your dreams. They may not be what they were, so make new, make it happen. You have the capacity, propensity, potential to be phenomenal..Yes, you could be one of the most phenomenal sleepers, but is that what you want to be remembered for? You can do this. You will do this. You are worth it, or I wouldn't waste my time!
AA makes some good points..but they also believe in letting someone hit rock bottom. Then go through humiliation to bring themselves back up (as if they hadn't already humiliated themselves enough). My argument is analogous to a house. If a roof is leaking, do you work quickly to fix that leak, or do you wait until it has crumbled to its very foundations and have to rebuild completely?! The rock bottom and back up again, also relies on acceptance into a group, and a buddy system. Now like some people with churches, that acceptance is all well and good, but when it starts to wane, they lose interest, and start 'backsliding' only to start this vicious circular codependency all over again of self abuse. Oh the prodigal anything, feted for returning...needing that surge of popularity and acceptance..only to do it all over again. Find out what gets you there to begin with..what twists in thinking..
See if your neighbor will jump rope with you? fun? LOL or something....get creative n silly. Have a blast!

Hotel Villa Bahia: Nice boutique hotel in historic center
I found this hotel while I was looking for something close to the center. Well, I think I did just that. It is not only in the center, but in the center of the center. It is immediately by the Cross of Sao Francisco in downtown Pelourinho (historic center).
But it is not someplace that the average traveler can stay. I thankfully was on the company budget, so could afford the luxury. If I was on my own personal budget, I probably would have stayed at any of the nearby hostels.
The rooms were large and very comfortable. The beds allowed for great sleep. The climate control was very new and functional. There was absolutely no noise, and if the shutters were closed, no light either.
The staff was also extremely helpful, polite and generally courteous.
The rooms are given names, not room numbers. The old fashioned locks give an immediately feel of nostalgia.
The breakfasts were really good (served 7~10am), with one of the best fruit plates I've had in Brazil. I even had to leave a couple times before breakfast and they happily made me a to-go bag.
WiFi is free with the use of a password.
There is a lounge, bar, restaurant and cafe too. There are indoor and outdoor seats available depending on the weather. I didn't eat anything other than breakfast so cannot speak for their menu.

He listens whae you ask questions and offers genuine advice on the area depending on what you want. Great use of space and atmosphere in the hostel, excellent food. You wont be dissapointed if peolrinho is where you will be staying.

Daniel Blumenthal's place: Rooms with a View
If you are looking for a little lux city flat, w. security, an attentive owner who knows Bahia, a decent price, within Pelourihno, Historic Center, a spectacular breathtaking view of the Bay of all Saints, with WIFI, Daniel Blumenthal is your man!!! (If you weren't looking, you're somewhat curious now eh?)
Need a quite area, you fear crowds, or just have fear in general, sorry Pelourihno altogether is not the place for you. Definately do a day trip though but i dont advise staying in it then Its alive with all sort of activities, musical or religious performances, capoeira in the streets, breakdancers, poets, vendors of every darn thing you don't really need, bells tolling from what may be over 50 churches within the perimeter. Music shops, Candomble shops, Food stands, Bus loads of tourist, Work crowd, homeless folks, Ladies and men of the night looking to love you long time, singers, artist, restaurants, police activities, wild traffic, all day and night, amongst other things.
If you are willing to have an open mind, admire the historic beauty, the music, the culture, and the people that continue to make it so magical...
Make this a must!!!
Daniel has several apartments so it depends which you stay in. I had the honor of staying in his Edificio Themis one bedroom while it was still being purchased. Talk about customer service. Its in Praca de se Within the neart of Centro Historico. It has the view of Bahia do Todos os Santos (Bay of all Saints) in the Cidades Baixa (Lower City). Truly mezmerizing. The Buildling is situated near the Elevador Lacerdo you can actually see it from your bedroom or living room. The apartment has huge wide windows, from one end to the other. Great closet space, a safety box as well. Its has a comfortable bedroom and queen size bed. nightstands with lamps for evening reading on wherer to go the following day. The living room and bedroom both have AC and a small fan. Tall curtains shut out the light and allow you to sleep in when needed.
Livingroom comforts of tv, stereo, plush leather couch, dining table and sitting, along with a kitchennete area with stools for quick snacks. Watercooler was installed and was greatly appreciated. The Kitchen has all modern stove, fridge, sink, and shelvings carefully selected by the owner. The Bathroom is new as well, all tiles and glass. Hot running water and A Turbo showerhead...it's massive, that stuff can wash your hair right off your head. Oh the floors can get slippery, walk dont run.
Let Daniel Know Julissa says ALO!!!
email Daniel to reserve a apartment. He's got flats1 , 2, and 3 bedrroms in various locations, browse his site.
The only thing I could really do without were those bell tolling...

Everaldo's place in Stella Maris: Cozy Flat w hammock swing you into vacation mode
Not once, not twice but thrice!!! Fantastic, relaxing, friendly, covenient. Start your tan and surf the minute you arrive from the airport. Arrange a few days in Stella Maris, Salvador. Its is a getaway for middleclass locals. One of the series of prestine beaches along the Costa Verde, Praia Stella Maris. 20 mins from the airport. Dont expect any hotel buildings anywhere, just tiny beachfronts condos, pousadas, and dirt roads leading to a mosaic village on the beach. And Everaldo's Place!!!
Clean, safe, convenient, cozy, parking, playground, security24/7, bus stop up the road, yard w. hammock, tv and computer internet ready. Great price for beach area. Full kitchen. Owner and son speak english, great family to do business with. The owner can arrange pick up car service for you with his son.
1 bedroom apartment which can sleep 4. Full bed in bedroom, a Full sofabed in the living room and a twin sofabed.
It can sleep more, but you'll have to fight for the bathroom, there's only one.
Fully equipt kitchen. Get your vacation lazy-butt up to the two nearby groceries stores down the entrance road.
If not walk 10 mins to the 24 hour AM/PM (gas station, deli). ok youre on vacation, relax no cooking. Try one of the two corner local restaurant and get your grease on, with typical Bahiano dishes and refreshing fruit drinks they are amazing. Or get wasted on cervejas (beer) or cachaca, (sugarcane liquor that will seriously burn) remember what you just ate.
Walk back lay in your own hammock and watch a shooting star, read a book or listen to the local radio station.
or walk over to the playground. I spy all the numerous nature creatures that visit the pond.
***If you have trouble finding them, shoot me an email, more than happy to help.
expect a required security deposit, which you will get back in full cash hence your check out.
check out/in anytime, just remind them. Brazilian are either working or dancing.
Energy is seperate, he will show you the meter and jot down the reading in your presence, checkout you will both read the meter and calculate how much you owe. Computer security deposit too.
Think of it as a savings account so when you leave you have spending money, or enough to cover your broke self back home.

Pousada Azul: Porto da Barra's sweet Blue getaway
For those staying in brasil for long term at a time such as I apartment rentals are the way to go. But when taking a week or a weekend,...i had the pleasure of finding this. A beautiful, comfortable spot right near the beach and away from the crowd. Its safe, clean, and breakfast is super. The staff couldnt be any nicer, and the location has WIFI!!!!
Single female travelers, couples, mature crowd, this is the place for you. It's a little more than other pousadas you may find but its worth the comfort and treat even if just for a few days. You deserve it!!! They have hot water too.
"The Lonely Planet Guide Book"
...Pousada Azul is a friendly,comfortable, highly recommended Pousada...
Located 100 meters from Porto da Barra, a local touristic attraction, Pousada azul offers single and double rooms in a clean and confortable atmosphere, access free to internet, Laundromat, airport shuttles, car rental, city tours, fax services, bar and snack services.
Pousada Azul staff is always willing to help and provide information in Deutsch, English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Main local tourist attractions such as beaches, museums, historical center, local festivals, and rout of carnival are withing easy access.

Nega Maluca: Really good hostel
There's free internet.
Best breakfast (bread, cheese, meat, pancakes/french toast, cookies, fresh fruit, juice) and free coffee all day.
It's just outside of Pelhourino, in Santo Antonio about a 5-10min walk.
Helpful staff that will tell you where to go, what to see.
I wouldn't use the laundry service there. It's $R 6 to wash, $R2 to dry (indoors) and you have to take your clothes off the line yourself and fold them...most laundry services do that for you. I gave mine in the morning and in the evneing it was still wet...my towel was dripping wet...this in hot sun of Salvador!! They hung them inside!
I also wouldn't use the cab service the provide, it's the owner's friend and it cost $R45 to go to the airport but I'm sure you can get it cheaper by getting oneyourself...on top of that the cabbie has no change and talks ALOT.
It's $R25/night for a 8 bed dorm

costa de Marfim Guesthouse: gem like etheral quality
This city is quite the cultural capital and i was very impressed by the atmosphere within this place. It just worked beautifully.The people it attracted were the kind of people from a Ms. Marple book and i really enjoyed my time here .Aside from the location and amenities {which were super} the type of people were just the ones you want to meet while on holiday and they invited you into their trips and concerts.
Thanks ,wonderful

pousada das Laronjieras: neat delight
This is a very accomodating place with basic and clean facilities which were well attended by the locals and not the general backpack brigade perhaps because the prices for better accom. is still cheaper than their world.
However snobery aside this was a gem of a place and they really looked after their guests despite my hampered monolingual brain.
,This was basic but in a fun part of town with little cafes and bars nearby.welloff the tourist trails.Perhaps that is why i enjoyed it so much.

Pousada paraiso Tropical: pousadas and small hotels
This pousada is situated in the region of pedra do sal near itapuã. i live in this area and I recomend it because you can still visit the center of salvador but you have wonderful beaches right in front of the hotel. There are other hotels in this area. Paraiso tropical is very sofisticated, there are however other simpler posadas as well as 5 star hotels in this area.
Paraiso Tropical is a small sofisticated hotel that has a wonderful fiew of the beach and has a good pool. The owner and his staff mostly speak other languages. The food is very good and specialized in Italian dishes.

Hospederia Da La Habana: The Coziest Place in Bahia
We came across this cute little pousada by mistake! We initially had plans to rent an apartment from this French guy who decided to retire in Bahia....Bad idea! He picked us up from the airport and he smelled like cigarettes and body odor..That should've been a sign!
The place was filthy and smelled just like him so we passed!
As we looked out the window of his smelly apartment we found this cute yellow pousada! All of the staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. It's clean, there's breakfast, and a small restaurant/bar on site! It was great! They took great care of us..Above and beyond providing a service! We still keep in touch to this day!
**We found out a few days into the stay that this is a "Gay Friendly" pousada! No worries...everyone here isn't gay.
This place has a great central location. It's not right in Pelourinho where a lot of action goes on, but it's extremely close...and it's right on the water and for the ladies....close to Barra Shopping Mall!

Nega Maluca Guesthouse: Salvador's New Family
It's one of the quietest places I've ever stayed in - a feat because it is close to Pelourinho. The place is run by a young couple who have traveled all over the world. Inbal says nobody is a guest - everyone's family here. The owners looked out for me when they couldn't find me and thought that something had happened to me - they really do care.
Close to Pelo but not too close to bother you with the noise and hustlers. Smack dab in the middle of old Santo Antonio district - close to a bus terminal. Great view - depending on where you stand on the verandah!

Several years ago when one of our staff writers said she wanted to write an editorial on vandalism, she was jokingly asked, "Are you for it or against it?"
Amazingly, an issue that should be as cut and dried as that one is now before the Indiana General Assembly - whether to prohibit texting while driving for all Indiana drivers.
A few weeks ago I wrote a column about thinking before speaking. It was rather tongue-in-cheek and made mention of mistaken assumptions about people, their ages and relationships.
An e-mail arriving about the same time offered a similar example of why it's important to think before acting and holding people accountable for wrongdoing.
In a case shared by the author of the e-mail, pranksters had hindered a family's ability to support itself.

Book Review: "Immortal Caesar"
Expand Messages
- Patricia Hunter's "Immortal Caesar" is well researched and provides a
"human side" to one of the most famous figures in world history. Caesar
is portrayed as an intellectually and physically mesmerizing man whose
charisma attracted both men and women to his political causes and
produced support for his personal ambitions. I also appreciated
Hunter's view of Caesar as an ardent lover but one who refrained from
salubrious expressions of affection to the women in his life.
Of course I enjoyed Colleen McCullough's latest novel about Caesar's
final years, "The October Horse", but found her dialogue between Caesar
and Cleopatra repeatedly sprinkled with "darling" somewhat a bit out of
place in the mental image of an astute and articulate Caesar I had
formed over the years reading her entire "Masters of Rome" series of
novels as well as a number of the ancient sources.
My primary regret was that Hunter's novel was short. I would have
appreciated much more detail about Alesia and Caesar's personal
interaction with the Gauls (men and women - McCullough hinted at a
relationship with a Gallic woman that resulted in a son), Caesar's
thoughts and actions during the battle of Miletus, his first major
military engagement, and his personal interaction with Octavian.
McCullough portrayed the relationship between Caesar and Octavian so
sympathetically that I actually developed a more positive viewpoint
towards Caesar's heir, at least until he allowed Lucius Caesar to be
proscribed. So I would have been interested in another perspective.
Hunter also shares my speculation that Caesar's seizures were caused by
a head wound sustained at Munda rather than lifelong epilepsy, although
McCullough's suggestion of a condition resembling hypoglycemia was
certainly plausible as well. The ancient sources do not mention this
condition until later in his life.
I also liked Hunter's casting of the relationship between Caesar and
Calpurnia, much more so than the soap opera overtones of "I can't live
with you as husband and wife" that marked the end of the romance in the
recent "Julius Caesar" miniseries on TNT Network. The affair with
Cleopatra was just one of many over his lifetime and Calpurnia was well
aware of Caesar's notoriety with other women when she agreed to marry
him. I think she would have accepted the situation as a matter of
course, just as Hunter envisioned it.
"Immortal Caesar" is interesting, factual, and fast paced -- a good
effort for a first novel.

» Quicksilver Resources' CEO Discusses Q2 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
John E. Hinton
Thank you, Debbie, and good morning. Joining me today are Glenn Darden, President and Chief Executive Officer; Toby Darden, Chairman; Phil Cook, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Chris Cirone, Senior Vice President and General Counsel.
On December 27, 2011, the company issued a press release announcing the formation of a Horn River Basin midstream partnership with KKR. This call is to discuss that announcement and other matters. If you do not have a copy of the release, you can retrieve a copy of it on the company's website at www.qrinc.com, under the News and Updates tab. We will be discussing slides today, and those slides are available on our website under the Investor Relations Events and Presentations tab.
During today's call, we will be making forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning risk factors which could cause such differences is detailed in the company's filings with the SEC.
I will now turn the call over to Glenn Darden.
Glenn M. Darden
Thank you, John. Good morning. I would like to lead in this morning with an introduction before we dive into more detail on recent company transactions and activity.
Quicksilver is continuing to follow the unconventional resource path we started down 20 years ago in Michigan, where we were one of the early pioneers of shale resource development. Since that time, Quicksilver has successfully found and developed large-scale commercial projects in 5 separate basins across North America, and we believe we are poised to increase that to 7 basins in the near future.
In every case, the company has followed the same strategy, which is outlined on Slide 4 of this morning's presentation. We start with early entry, with large acreage positions at lower costs per acre and lower royalties. We next move to resource assessment wells and then to validation wells to determine the size and commerciality of the projects. We then build infrastructure to ensure lower gathering, processing, transportation and operational costs, and finally, we go to full development.
As I said, we've used this successful strategy in multiple basins. Historically, the company has monetized assets as they mature to reload for future projects. Examples of these monetizations are the sale of our Michigan and Indiana assets to BreitBurn Energy Partners for roughly $1.3 billion and the sale of our Barnett midstream entity, Quicksilver Gas Services, or KGS, to Crestwood for roughly $1 billion in cash and assumed debt. Both of these asset bases were sold as they near full maturity in their respective areas.
Currently, Quicksilver has the largest inventory of projects in company history. I direct your attention to Slide #5, which shows our current inventory of projects along a maturity curve versus time. As you can see, each of our projects is at a different level of maturity, with West Texas being the newest and Horseshoe Canyon being the most mature. We recognize with our debt position that selling assets is important to reduce overall debt in order to free up more cash flow for growth. For this reason, we have chosen to monetize Quicksilver's Barnett position. We are entering our ninth year of activity in the Barnett, and while still some distance from the full maturity, the Barnett is of a size that can meaningfully reduce this debt.
The company has chosen to do this in the form of a master limited partnership, which we believe will realize the best value for Quicksilver shareholders. After studying the asset sale versus public yield vehicle markets, we believe the company will be -- will receive a better price for the assets, and we'll still have ownership in the growth of the Barnett unbooked resource of over 1 trillion cubic feet of gas equivalent and also participate in the gas price recovery over time by forming a master limited partnership.
In our earnings call on November 7, 2011, we targeted the filing of the S-1 registration with the SEC by the year end. The timing of this has lagged by about 30 days, but we should be filed relatively soon. Quicksilver has experienced -- has experience in running this type of entity, and we have a very efficient operational team that will continue to harvest this asset over the long term.

The Wolves took an 8-0 lead in the first quarter, but then exploded for four touchdowns in the second quarter, including an interception return to make it 36-0 at intermission. From there the Chargers never threatened.

TARGET leads the way with their motto CELEBRATE DIVERSITY
How did you get TARGET to put your books in their stores? People often ask me that question with a curious surprise in their tone of voice. Then they go on to add," That is HUGE!!" My answer is always, simple, "Belief and determination". And yes, any new unpublished author starting their own publishing company with the first book to get Target as their first client IS huge, indeed. But, beyond that, the most wonderful aspect of the story is the Target team themselves. I was invited to visit the Target Corporate office with my books, apparel and dolls not once, not twice — but five times. And each visit was a total joy because Target has managed to hire the most innovative, smart, tech savvy and ultimately cool team of young professionals that really know...Read More

We Just got Bling'd UP for the Holidays! Glitter-all-the-way!
The I'M A PRETTY LITTLE BLACK GIRL! books just got a bit prettier, so to speak! Just in time for the holidays that come with shiny ornaments and silver bells – our book cover has bling'd it up to give our girls the glitter-fun they deserve! With the original shiny title, we have added a shiny border with glitzy new shiny hearts all around the book character "Mia" – and it sure makes her look like she enjoys the shine! Getting glitter on the book cover was a very methodical and time consuming process. But our girls deserve to have a book that is created especially for them that shines a little bit more from the store shelves. It is hard work to accomplish things that really matter, but as I heard Oprah say on her shows so many times that "Love is in the details"....Read More
What can become a blessing most?? TARGET!!!

This is the kind of blessing that creates more blessings. Being a faith based person, I believe that love multiplies love. When I created this first book, I simply wanted readers to pick up the book, see the happy colors, feel the smooth high quality dust jacket and be dazzled with the glitter across the title. I wanted them to feel the love that went into creating something special and spectacular just for their enjoyment and delight. Because of this shared love, the love was returned by...Read More

Hope for a rainy day.
Whether the skies are threatening to flood the streets or just drop a light sprinkle, you'll want every excuse to wear the Kamik Women's Olivia Boot. With a fashionable side buckle, waterproof material, and a high-traction sole, the Olivia keeps you dry and in-style. To help reduce environmental impact, Kamik made these boots from recyclable materials.
Share your thoughts
Loved the look, but tight fit for calves
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
- Fit:Runs small
- Height: 5'9"Weight: 150 lbsSize Purchased: 10
I loved these boots for the feel, the look and comfort- except they were too tight on my calves. If you have a larger calf size- these may not work. Other than that I would have kept them, and seem more durable than most other rain boots I have tried on. The size does run slightly snug. I normally wear a 9-9.5 in shoes but ordered a size 10 in this boot and was just right.
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:True to size
- Height: 5'2"Size Purchased: 6.0
Love my welly's. Kamik seems to be a good brand for durability and functionality. I got the Joules Welly Socks which work great for these. How many times do I go out in the rain and get my pants all messed up? This year, I had an awakening: there is a boot for rain, that's been around a long time. So, I chose my pair and these fit the bill. Probably would say they are narrow in the middle of the foot, but I do have toe room (wide enough toe box), got a 6, but in boot I usually do a 6.5. The 6 fits great, I think if I to the 7 they would be too floppy and loose. I have such a problem with tendonitis that I will get to wear my orthotics with these. Yay! Great sale and quality.
Lara LaBar, Gearhead
Rain, rain...
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit:True to size
Mom says: "Trudging through the rain on the streets of a small town in Scotland? Yes! Walking along a graded path on a rainy day in the Highlands? Yes! Hiking through the brush along sheep paths up the side of a hill? No. Super cute, great fit, all purpose rain boot. Not for serious hiking, obviously, but perfect for serious strolling. Just enough curve to the boot to have a little style without being ridiculously hard to get on or off. "
KAREN LINDSEY, Gearhead
No Regrets! Great Boot
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:Runs small
Cute and functional. Great value. If you're expecting a sloppy, loose fitting rain boot, this isn't it. The fit actually hugs your feet, a nice change from your average, bulkier rainboots. Be warned, however, that sizing up slightly isn't a bad idea. I have slender ankles and calves and a regular width foot and had no problem getting them on. Gave them a thumbs up on the stars as they are a great value once you've determined your correct sizing.
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:Runs small
delivered fast. Order at least a half-size up. very comfortable and well made
Great Quality, Tight Calf
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:Runs small
I bought these for my wife for Christmas and she loved them. The quality is great, waterproof, cushy soles, etc. However, the boots were too tight on her calves even after adjusting them, so we had to return them. It's too bad because they're a solid-built boot.
Kamik Olivia Boot
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:Runs small
At first, the boots seemed very tight on the top of my feet, but they formed to my feet after a few times wearing them. Wore them in some big rain storms and my feet stayed completely dry. Very cute, too!
Kamik Olivia Boot
- Gender:Female
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I tried this boot in comparison to the Tretorn Skerry & Skerry Vinter. I much preferred the Kamik Olivia because the top of the boot is slimmer and it could pass for an everyday boot if I were to go out with them on a snowy night. The Tretorn's had a really wide top that I felt would just collect snow. I had no problem getting my ankle in these as other reviews have mentioned. I love the buckle detail and the tread seems sturdy!
Great Fit & Versatile
I do not agree with the tight ankle complaint. They are snug enough to keep a fit that is easy to walk around in, but getting them off is not problem at all. They are flexible and come off with ease. These are my first rain boots and I am amazed at how often I am using them. Mowing the lawn to river trips to weekend farmers markets. Love.
Snug at the ankle...
These boots were way too snug at the ankle; I could hardly get them on and getting them off was a struggle. I wear a 7.5, bought an 8; I do not have particularly large ankles or calves. I returned them immediately. I think that I'll buy Hunter rain boots...
Careful! Hunter's run HUGE!
Too Tight at Ankle!!!!
The boot looks great but I could not get my foot down into the bottom of the boot without much struggle, then once I got it on it was a MAJOR struggle getting it off. I have never had this problem with a boot before, I was not wearing heavy socks and my foot is not wide so the boot runs very narrow in the ankle area. I wanted boots I could easily slide my feet into and I cannot do that with these so I will be returning them....
Has anyone compared the tread of this boot...
Has anyone compared the tread of this boot to those of the Hunter brand?

Zilina Restaurants
Just a restaurant
We were all starving so we *needed* to find a good place to have a meal. And we found it. Actually I forgot the name & address of the restaurant, I have to look up in my diary, just that at the moment I have no idea where it is.
Favorite Dish: But! We got our 1st beer here!
Zilina Nightlife
Kingston Bar: Best cocktails in town !
This simply is the best place there is in Zilina should you wish to indulge in some good cocktail drinking in a nice "trendy" (but not too much) setting.
Was recommended by many people here (Slovak, of course, but also... Japanese ! :), boy were they right !
As an added bonus, prices are low (when compared to western Europe, for Zilina, it's a little expensive).
Zilina Transportation
Railway station in zilina
The railway station in zilina is a pretty run down looking edifice that desperately needs an upgrade. If you are hauling luggage there are no escalators or elevators. There is a flat sort of rail that makes it at least a slight bit easier. Be mindful of your thing, a lot of not so savory characters congregate near the entrance to the station and panhandle or ask for cigarettes.
The pedestrian area starts across from the train station and will lead you right to the lovely main square.Related to:

Zilina Shopping
The Aupark shopping and entertainment center was located across the road from our Hotel.It is home to more than 120 shops and 850 free parking spaces.We walked over here to find food, which there was, including fast food outlets, cafes and Restaurants.We also found plenty of major retailers and lots of fashion chains with reasonably priced clothing...more
Sheep's Cheese
Outside of Zilina, along the roadside you will find small farmer's stalls selling a variety of cheeses. This region has a strong shepherding tradition and the sheep's cheeses are very good. Sheeps cheeses. The one i bought was a bit sharp but very tasty various prices, as cheap as 2 or 3 euro, depending on quantitymore

Zilina Off The Beaten Path
A beautiful scenic drive along good road [E50], is the one that follows the River Váh to Liptovský Mikuláš. The drive is approx. 86kms and takes approx. 1.5 hours.We followed the road and found it wound around some big river bends and gave us excellent views of the River Váh. We saw Castle ruins as we went through the forested area, then came out...more
Still travelling along the E50 and only a little further on from Strecno Castle, I see some more ruins, only this time they are on the left side and on the other side of the River Váh. Once again, the ruins are sitting high above the surrounding area. The Castle used to be called Varin and was mentioned in 1267, how-ever the name changed to Stary...more
I wish I had known about Strecno Castle located just 16kms from Zilina. From the road, we could see Strecno Castle towering above us on a rock overlooking the river Váh. Unfortunately, there was no-where to pull off the road and park so photos were taken from a moving car. The road we were following was the E50 which runs alongside the River Váh to...more

Zilina is quaint little town--very nice in the short time I was there. As you can imagine, good luck finding English speakers. You'll be lucky if you get a hello.

Respond to Review of The Gate Restaurant
by madonnaragu
Review: I went to eat here with a friend. It was extremely busy, and incredibly noisy to the point of us almost leaving. The floor plan is just awful. The decor is bland and uninspiring. They had a number of vegan options on the menu, and I ordered a few starters and a main, re-confirming about three times that I wanted them vegan. Once the food arrived, I asked if it was vegan, as it looked like it wasn't, and after they checked with the kitchen, they confirmed that I was served food with dairy/eggs. They did apologise and came back with my vegan stuff, but it was very disappointing that this happened in the first place. All this could perhaps be forgiven if the food is tasty. Unfortunately, it was not. It felt like eating at a countryside vegetarian restaurant in 1980s. The food was bland, tasteless, greasy. There were no spices, herbs or flavours. The entire menu feels dated, and is very cheese and egg heavy. Even the vegan options taste like cardboard. Very, very disappointing - in terms of food, service and the entire experience. There are so many good veggie restaurants in London, and this is not the one I will be going back to.

Monk has no doubts the 26-year-old is more than ready to seize his opportunity to kick-start his Swansea City career

After a campaign which saw the Swans finish in eight spot, their highest ever, Simon Gaskell highlights the key reasons why the Liberty boys got it so right

His time in Manchester hasn't yielded the same impressive results as it did in Swansea but Wilfried Bony hopes he won't be mocked by the fans he loved so much

Wilfried Bony will have to battle with Sergio Aguero for game time at Man City and a furious Swans director insists he doesn't want to watch him rot as he tries to get over the transfer fee he considers low
While Garry Monk's men were being humbled by Blackburn Rovers, Bony was doing this in the Africa Cup of Nations
Bony, who joined the Swans for a club record fee in the summer of 2013, joined Champions City in a £28m move which was announced last week

Hard Times In Japan: 'Home' Might Be An Internet Cafe
Hide captionShiho Fukada's four-part photo series documents the effects of Japan's changing economy on both the young and the old. Here, Cocoa, 21, shows off her business card for her job as a "hostess." Working as a hostess is a popular job for Japan's young women. But it comes with an expiration date — when they get too old, they are no longer wanted, leaving them with no skills and few options.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada/Panos Pictures
Hide captionChapter 1: Dumping Ground of Old Men in Japan — End Of Labor Town. People wait in line to receive a charity meal in Kamagasaki, Osaka, Japan. Once a thriving day laborer's town, Kamagasaki is now home to about 25,000 mainly elderly day laborers, with an estimated 1,300 who are homeless.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada
Hide captionYasu, an unemployed day laborer, drinks $1 sake in Kamagasaki. It used to be called a "laborers town" but is now called a "welfare town" — a dumping ground of old men. Alcoholism, poverty, street death, suicide, TB and most of all loneliness prevail here.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada
Hide captionMen mop the floor of a labor center, which is sponsored by the government and provides the main source of income to a select few in Kamagasaki. People used to be able to get high-paying jobs in this town, but now there is no work, especially for the aging male population.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada

Hide captionThe remains of workers with no relatives sit in a locker room of an NGO in Osaka, Japan. Many men here don't have family ties, and live and die alone as social outcasts from the mainstream "salaryman" culture.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada
Hide captionChapter 2: Overworked To Suicide. Suicide and karoshi — death by work — is increasingly common among white-collar workers as a reaction to stress. Emiko Teranishi, 61, lost her husband, Akira, from suicide 14 years ago. He was a manager of a restaurant chain but became depressed from excessive overwork. He ended his life by jumping from a building.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada
Hide captionJapanese businessmen play pachinko after work in Tokyo. Japanese white-collar workers, also known as "salarymen," increasingly work longer hours because of the fear of losing jobs and a shortage of manpower. Excessive overwork causes depression, and in some cases leads to suicides.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada
Hide captionA Japanese businessman waits for a train under LED lights, which are designed to calm people and prevent them from jumping onto the tracks in Tokyo. Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada
Hide captionCocoa, 21, prepares for work in the dressing room of a bar in Tokyo. Customers pay large sums of money to hostesses for the pleasure of their company, but not for sex. Japanese women's employment opportunities are often limited, and many see hostessing as a path to financial independence — even though they can only do it while they are young.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada
Hide captionAya, 21, sends text messages to her clients as she brushes her teeth before work. She emails about 50 clients at least three times a week. "I'm increasingly depressed and closed off, but I have to keep smiling," she says.Courtesy of Shiho Fukada

Hide captionChapter 4: Internet Cafe Refugees. Fumiya, 26, a security guard, has lived in an Internet cafe for 10 months. People live in the 24-hour cafe's small rooms, unable to afford rent anywhere else. Fumiya pays about $25 a day for a tiny private booth, a shared bathroom and laundry service.

In 2008, photographer Shiho Fukada read a story in the New York Times about a town in Japan that was filled with destitute old men. Having grown up in a prosperous Japan, she says she couldn't stop thinking about them.
She traveled to the Kamagasaki district of Osaka to document the collapse of the labor market, including the old and sick day laborers who had been abandoned by an economy they had given their lives to.
That essay sparked a four-part photo series documenting people who have made hard choices in the wake of Japan's declining economy. Over the next few years, Fukada sought out people who were struggling, although they still tried to maintain a brave face.
"[Japanese] people suffer in private, in their homes, so I thought it was a really important story to tell, Fukada says.
"The lnternet cafe workers — they put on tie, go to work — you couldn't tell," she says. "The amount of effort people put in is really heartbreaking to me."
The four parts of Fukada's project highlight the aging population of Kamagasaki; the rise of white-collar suicide; the increasing popularity of hostess jobs; and the rise of 24-hour Internet cafes — where people actually live.
"Japanese [people] are so private, so it was really hard for me to approach them and to get access to them," she says. "And on top of that, these are people in extreme conditions who are not necessarily proud of their situations."
Fukada, who splits her time between China and New York, temporarily moved back in with her parents in Japan to work on the project. Her father worked the same job his whole life and is now comfortably retired. But she says those opportunities are fading in Japan, making her work deeply personal.
"I can relate," she says. "I'm a freelance photojournalist. I'm totally disposable. I could be any one of these people. People think, 'I'm not going to end up like that.' But now, given the economy, anyone could end up in this situation."
Fukada's project was funded in part by grants from the Pulitzer Center and the Alicia Patterson Foundation. You can see more of her work on her website.

MANILA, Philippines - Filipino household service workers (HSWs) in Hong Kong are getting a salary raise and other additional benefits, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) reported Monday.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the Hong Kong Labor Department has ordered an increase of 4.8 percent in the monthly minimum allowable wage (MAW) of foreign HSWs.
"From a monthly pay of HK$3,740 foreign HSWs including Filipinos will now be getting HK$3,920 a month, while the monthly food allowance rose from HK$775 to HK$875," Baldoz said.
The labor chief said the HK government came out with the new wage rate after conducting its annual review of the MAW for foreign HSWs.
The review, she said, took into consideration Hong Kong's general economic and employment situation, relevant income movements, price changes and labor market situation.
Baldoz said HK's standard employment contract in hiring foreign HSWs requires employers to provide domestic helpers with free food or food allowance.

Although 2011 tax returns aren't due until April 17, many families are already working on preparing last year's returns. If you count yourself among those taxpayers working on their returns, make sure you don't miss taking one of these often-overlooked tax deductions.
First on CNBC Personal Finance Correspondent Sharon Epperson's list is the state sales tax deduction. Federal taxpayers have the opportunity to deduct either their state sales taxes or state and local income taxes. If you live in a state without an income tax then deducting your state sales tax can boost your refund or reduce your tax liability.

Head Coach Billy Martin . . .
The 1996 ITA National Coach of the Year and UCLA's 1975 NCAA singles champion, Billy Martin, owns a 234-44 (.842) record in his 11th season as head coach at UCLA. He has led the Bruins into the NCAA Tournament in each of his 10 seasons, guiding the team to seven top-4 finishes, including trips to the finals in 1996 and '99. UCLA has also won four Pac-10 titles during his tenure. Coach Martin was inducted into the ITA Tennis Hall of Fame in 1996. To this very day he is still regarded as one of the best junior players in the history of the sport. He captured the 1973 and '74 singles titles at Junior Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and Junior Orange Bowl tournaments. Just this past year, Inside Tennis Magazine ran an article that named him "Junior Player of the Century." As a professional, Martin defeated such top players as Ken Rosewall (twice), Stan Smith, John Newcombe, Roscoe Tanner and Harold Soloman.
