With the highly anticipated cinematic adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey" having recently started production, targeting a Valentine's Day 2015 release, its cast is finally being filled out. The latest addition is Dylan Neal, an actor you've probably never heard of unless you watch a pair of highly rated, critically derided network series. Deadline broke the news that he's been tapped to play Anastasia Steele's stepdad, which Universal confirmed.
Neal will play Bob Adams, the "new and well-grounded fourth husband" (in Entertainment Weekly's words) of Jennifer Ehle's character, Carla. Carla's daughter Anastasia is, of course, being played by the unreasonably adorable Dakota Johnson, with Jamie Dornan starring opposite her as Christian Grey (having stepped in last minute for Charlie Hunnam). Other members of the cast include Marcia Gay Harden, Eloise Mumford, Luke Grimes, Rita Ora, and Max Martini.
If you've never heard of Neal, that's okay — the 44-year-old Canadian actor plays Dr. Ivo on The CW's "Arrow," and he co-stars with Andie McDowell in "Cedar Grove," a Hallmark Channel series that starts shooting its second season this spring. For a guy you've never heard of he's awfully busy, huh?
The adaptation of EL James's sexy bestseller, which originated as "Twilight" fan fiction, is being directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, from a script by "Saving Mr. Banks" screenwriter Kelly Marcel. Expect it to be like "Nymphomaniac" for moms.

Preparing for a Quinceañera is much like preparing for a wedding – everything has to be planned down to the detail, including (and perhaps most importantly) the dress! While we were excited to check out the new Disney collection of dresses for one's quince, we were also thinking of all the extravagant options out there. Here are some of the most outrageous options we've seen. Did your dress top these?

Tonight on MTV Tr3s' hit show, Quiero Mis Quinces, we meet Yeleini – a Cuban American teenager whose Moulin-Rouge themed quinces was the definition of extravagant.
The biggest challenge facing the Miami 15-year-old was the budget for her party. To make her quinces dream come true, Yeleini's family had to move into her abuelito's house, which was really difficult. On top of that, Yeleini's guest list ballooned up to 70 more than originally accounted for. Would her party be a hit – or a miss?

2015 Piero N. Patri Fellowship in Urban Design
SPUR is pleased to issue a call for applicants for a twelve-week fellowship in the summer of 2015.
The Piero N. Patri Fellowship in Urban Design is a hands-on position for a current student or 2014/2015 graduate in urban design, architecture, landscape architecture or a related field. The fellowship provides the opportunity to gain firsthand experience working in the urban design and planning field on a project that will have a positive impact on the city of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Projects are intended to provide career-related work experiences that will challenge graduate-level students, contribute to San Francisco, contribute to SPUR's mission and reflect the values of Piero N. Patri. SPUR will cooperate with the fellow in obtaining academic credit, if his or her institution allows.
While past Patri Fellows have focused on design solutions, or in building community awareness, the 2015 Patri Fellow will work to create a short film, or series of films, that provide tangible context and insight on San Francisco's Southeast Waterfront. The fellow will be afforded significant flexibility in scripting the project, but will need to assimilate the work of past Patri Fellows, as well the current land use, economic, transportation, infrastructure and societal issues in play within the neighborhoods of the Southeast Waterfront in order to craft a narrative that can shape a successful video. The Fellow will then work with a youth team from BAYCAT — a local media lab that empowers underserved children by teaching them digital skills — and guide their production of the film(s). Upon completion of production, the Fellow will be responsible for marketing the film(s) before premiering them to stakeholders, community leaders and the general public.
Priority will be given to candidates who show an interest and expertise in script writing and video production, in addition to a strong background in city planning, landscape architecture or architecture.
Fellow Selection Schedule
- Applications due via e-mail by 5 p.m. (PST), Friday May 29, 2015
- Notification of fellowship winner: early June 2015
- Start of fellowship: June 2015
- Conclusion of fellowship: late summer/early fall 2015
The committee may communicate with candidates by e-mail, telephone, or in person during the evaluation period.
How to Apply
- Submit applications via email to email@example.com
- Deadline: 5 p.m. (PST), Friday May 29, 2015
- Format: One PDF file (10mb maximum file size. 8.5 x 11 page size only)
- Items to include:
- Completed application (download the application here)
- Letter of interest (1 page)
- Portfolio of work samples (20 pages maximum)
- Resume
- Writing sample (10 pages maximum)
Work Product
The Fellow will be responsible for working with a team of youth from BAYCAT to script, produce and market a short film, or short films, that adds insight to the issues and projects currently facing the multi-facteted neighborhoods that make up San Francisco's Southeast Waterfront. SPUR will publicize the work resulting from the Fellow's project, and the Fellow will present the results of the project in a public presentation.

Picture: Sacha Baron Cohen World Premiere of 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' at Ziegfeld Theatre - Arrivals New York City, USA - 03.12.07
BORAT star Sacha Baron Cohen had to be jetted out of New York during filming on the comedy to avoid arrest and deportation when a stunt went awry. The British funnyman appeared to be stealing furniture from a Manhattan hotel as his comical Kazakstani TV reporter character Borat - but management at the place didn't get the joke. Instead, the manager reported Cohen and his film crew to the police, an arrest warrant was issued and the Brit had to dash to New Jersey to avoid arrest. Instead, according to a new article in Rolling Stone magazine, the film's line producer and first assistant spent 19 hours in jail for orchestrating the stunt.

Foreign travel advice
Chelsea take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday 16 February 2016 in Paris. See this information and advice page for travelling fans.
There is a high threat from terrorism. Due to ongoing threats to France by Islamist terrorist groups, and recent French military intervention against Daesh (formerly referred to as ISIL), the French government has warned the public to be especially vigilant and has reinforced its security measures.
You should be vigilant in public places and follow the advice of the local authorities.
On Friday 13 November 2015, a number of terrorist incidents took place in Paris resulting in widespread casualties. A national state of emergency has been declared for 3 months. See the French government's advice about what to do if a terrorist attack occurs. See Terrorism
In recent months there has been occasional disruption to cross channel services due to strike action and migrant activity in and around Calais. Check the website of your chosen operator before you set off. Information about alternative routes and operators is available via this interactive map.
There are large numbers of illegal migrants in and around Calais, who may seek to enter the UK illegally. Violent incidents have occurred between migrant groups, police and a small number of members of the public. Don't approach the camps or groups of migrants. There have been incidents of items being thrown at vehicles on the approach to Calais Port from the A16. In those circumstances you should keep moving when safe to do so, or stop and call 112 if it's not safe to proceed. Keep vehicle doors locked in slow moving traffic and secure your vehicle when it's left unattended.
If you're concerned about the situation in Calais and want to make a donation, you should give to registered, experienced humanitarian charity in order to best help migrants and ensure your own safety. Salam and Auberge des Migrants are long established in Calais and have warehouses for storing and distributing donations in an organised manner.
Robust border security means that anyone who attempts to transport an illegal migrant across the border faces a considerable jail term.
Around 17 million British nationals visit France every year. Most visits are trouble-free. The most common problem reported is pick-pocketing. See Safety and security
The Emergency phone number in France is 112.
You should apply for a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before you travel. If you already have an EHIC, make sure it hasn't expired. Some medical costs aren't covered by the EHIC so you should also take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before you travel. See Health
The Overseas Business Risk service offers information and advice for British companies operating overseas on how to manage political, economic, and business security-related risks.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) is a set of standardized tools that aims at providing a "common currency" for classifying the severity and magnitude of food insecurity. This evidence-based approach uses international standards which allow comparability of situations across countries and over time. It is based on consensus-building processes to provide decision makers with a rigorous analysis of food insecurity along with objectives for response in both emergency and development contexts.

2004 Porsche Cayenne SUV S AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 6A)
I bought mines used 45,000 which is actually good. Had it 3 yrs and everything at once started to go and man was it costley. Over 10,000 grand in 2 months. The passenger brake goes constantly and the radio everyone I spoke to says they have issues with it. If I had to do it over I WOULD NOT GET THIS. Looks are good but so not worth the money. I could have bought a new car for 10 grand. The headlights are like 1,000 just to replace no spare tire. Batteries are like $500 Very costly to say the least.
I saw a beautiful 2004s on a lot and decided to take it for a spin. This is not a fake Porsche but the real deal! I drove it home a week later.
A huge pleasure to drive! One worry was mpg but to my surprise it really gets 21 mpg on the highway at 65 ans cruising. Yes there are some bugs like the radio that doesn`t always work but overall I got a $70,000 car for well under 20 grand. One piece of adviceis
to verify how the car was maintained and by who.
the power and how tight everything feels. Overall a high quality and beautiful car.
fix those pesky electronic glitches ( radio, remote for doors not working.....)
2004 Porsche Cayenne SUV Turbo AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl Turbo 6A)
I have owned this super rocket for some time now and I have no complaints. If you can afford this car, I strongly suggest to buy one and you won't regret it. I got this car used at Princeton Porsche, NJ and the car was in immaculate condition, black on black w/ dark wood trimmings. It even smelled like new since the previous owner really took care of this baby. I also had the opportunity of owning a 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged (my review is also posted here in edmunds - My supercharged rover! By Rick Respicio on July 26, 2006 23:45pm) but it just can't compare to the Cayenne Turbo. The Cayenne is faster, sportier and more luxurious than the Rover. Test drive one and you'll agree!
There's just too many to mention, I just like everything about this car and you will too.
Probably the only improvement I can think of is the gas mileage. It doesn't hurt me but it would be nice if I can get more mileage per gallon.
Great car, super fast, great performance... I wish I was back home in Europe and use it to the limit instead of crusiing 60mph in Cali highways...
I like the exterior design more than the latest ones (2012-2013). So musculan! Inside looks bigger to me, again compare to newer ones.
Gas consumption might be a problem for some. I am not a commuter and I work 7days. Since I dont have time to drive that much I enjoy when I drive.If you can effort get a new one. Gas mileage is much better.
You may need a radar detector. Driving this car in speed limits is like having a beautiful girl but stopping yourself from having sex!
You may need a radar detector or a race track to satisfy your needs!
I love my Turbo!
We just purchased the 04 Cayenne S with under 60k miles, got the extended warranty...after less than a month owning it the rear axle had to be replaced at a cost of $1400.00. 2 weeks later in the hot sun the check coolant light went on, car was in the shop for a week to replace the coolant tubes had to replaced with the aluminum tubes, a Porsche defect that they are currently avoiding, at a cost of $3200.00, exactly 1 week later while I was backing my car into the garage the steering wheel started doing what it wanted and the light came on MOVE STEERING WHEEL there was a loud noise click click click and the car died. Will not start, go into gear, NOTHING. Had to be towed back to the dealer.
The speed of the car and that is it!
How about a little bit of owner ship on Porsche of North America and replacement of most 04 models. Absoulutley disgusting!

Forward facing in a moby?
Comments (9)
mommy to 3 super cute monsters
and another on the way 💚
Forward facing is not recommended. It's not good for the baby. It's also biologically and emotionally better for the baby to face the caregiver.
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. - Einstein
Congratulations on your baby! As you pps have said, facing out isn't recommended for several reasons:
Why Facing Out isn't Recommended: http://nannyviews.blogspot.com/2012/09/dear-nanny-why-not-face-out.html
Also in a Moby, it especially isn't a good idea to face out because of the stretchy fabric - baby could flip out.
You also may be noticing soon that your Moby is getting less supportive - especially with such a big guy! At about 15lb, most people find that the Moby isn't supportive enough any longer. If you like wrapping, you could look into a woven wrap which would give you the most versatility, and can be used until preschool. But there are many types of carriers out there! Feel free to ask if you have any questions :).

I love my moby wrap and still use it with DS who is over 20lbs. I do not find it at all less supportive. It is safe to use up to 35lbs. You do not need to buy another carrier. The moby madey life so much easier, especially in those early months. Congratulations on your LO!

Katie, what carry are you doing in your Moby that you feel it is still as supportive with a baby over 20lb? I'd love to give it a try :)
OP, you can use a Moby safely past 15lb, but most people find it less supportive and a bit saggy because of the stretchy material. You have to tie tightly and do more supportive carries. It's possible and I am certainly not telling you that you have to buy a new carrier right this second, or ever if you don't want too. And you can certainly try a FFO carry if you want. I wouldn't recommend doing so for long periods of time though.
