|"The Brothers" Bring Welcome Relief: Also, "Someone Like You"
|Movies - Reviews
|Written by Mike Schulz

The Brothers, the comedy-drama debut from writer-director Gary Hardwick, is a good-and-bad movie in which the good parts far surpass the bad, and that alone makes it one of the finer movies of the year.
Dealing with the exploits of four long-term pals and their relationships with the women in their lives, the film has an exuberance and wit that helps you glide over its clichés, and it's the rare male-oriented movie that gives its women plenty of breathing room. There's nothing revelatory in either its plotting or its execution – at this early stage, Hardwick is a better writer than director – but it's undeniably enjoyable; those who by nature bypass movies with African-American casts will truly be missing out.
At the start of the film, confirmed bachelor Terry (Shemar Moore) announces his impending wedding, which makes the others in his circle question their own lives and romantic entanglements. Jackson (Morris Chestnut), a successful pediatrician, wants to develop a deeper commitment with his girlfriend, Denise (Gabrielle Union), but is hindered by a revealed secret from her past; Derrick (D.L. Hughley), moderately happy in his own marriage to Sheila (Tamala Jones), can't get past her reluctance to engage in oral sex; lothario Brian (Bill Bellamy), high on booze and a succession of ladyfriends, finds commitment a joke and is (comically) punished for his refusal to grow up. Needless to say, The Brothers is more character-driven than story-driven, and given the strong parade of characters Hardwick has created, that's just fine for this debut feature.
Which is not to say that Hardwick has created original characters. Brian is a particularly weak link, his comic exploits predictable and formulaic, and Bellamy is, in general, more stand-up than actor; you catch him performing throughout the picture and it dulls your interest in him. But many of the film's actors transcend the obviousness of their roles – Hughley gets away with his borderline offensive subplot through sheer charisma – and one of them, Morris Chestnut, does even more that; he anchors the film with an impressive combination of understatement, humor, and sexiness. Chestnut has been a terrific presence in movies like Boys N the Hood and The Best Man, but The Brothers might finally be the one that makes him a star.
Best of all, and most surprising for a film entitled The Brothers, is the strong impact made by the female cast members. Gabrielle Union is enormously appealing – her role in last fall's Bring It On didn't hint at this kind of womanly strength and vulnerability – and we're also treated to the wonderful Marla Gibbs and the especially vibrant Jenifer Lewis. In films of this type, where men are slow to pick up on their own failings but more than ready to find them in others, we're used to seeing a series of putting-men-in-their-place diatribes; The Brothers doesn't shirk from this heady, predictable responsibility, but Hardwick writes some truly hysterical diatribes, and Lewis is a true live wire when delivering them. The movie never really amounts to much, but it actually does say a few things about how people live in this day and age, and does so while remaining spirited and funny. In a movie year that's shaping up to be even worse than the last – Lord help us – The Brothers is welcome relief.
It just figures. You wait patiently for the gorgeous and talented Ashley Judd to get out of her action-stud-muffinette phase (in turkeys like Kiss the Girls, Eye of the Beholder, and the reprehensible Double Jeopardy) and land the lead in a romantic comedy; she finally does, and it winds up being the witless and charmless piece of piffle Someone Like You. If you've never before felt the head-swimming rush of déjà vu, I heartily recommend catching the film; even if you haven't yet seen it, you've seen it. (You probably remember the title, too. With the exception of the Bernard Slade adaptation Romantic Comedy, has there ever been a film of this type with a less inspired moniker?) Not that it matters, but here's the lowdown this time around: Judd plays the talent-booker for a TV talk show who, after one failed relationship too many, comes to the shocking realization that men are pigs. Or rather, she learns after reading a rather dubious-sounding newspaper article that men are bulls. And women are cows. And bulls, you see, never mate with the same cow twice. And that explains why men and women can never successfully cohabitate.
But guess what? (You're ahead of me already, aren't you?) She meets a bull (Hugh Jackman) who's rude and chauvinistic and a user of women, but who's kinda cute, and who might just be perfect for ... oh, who the hell cares? As I've underlined countless times in my reviews of countless goofy romantic comedies: Setup is nothing, chemistry is all. And in Someone Like You, the leads ain't got it. Jackman appears to be trying; he plays his macho-blowhard-with-the-gooey-center well enough (although his dry wit was a lot more fun as Wolverine in X-Men) and gives Judd appropriate smolder. But with crummy lines to deliver and nothing but a flighty dipstick to play, Judd comes across as desperate and graceless; she could be channeling Sandra Bullock in her lesser movies, and God knows that the one we have is enough. Despite how strenuously the script works at making them the ideal couple, the concept never gels, and director Tony Goldwyn, who made a lovely debut with A Walk on the Moon, has nothing fresh to bring to either the material of the performers. Even as pure throwaway entertainment, the movie is a dud.
Among the supporting players, Ellen Barkin and Marisa Tomei are pure stereotype – Barkin all phony TV sleaze and Tomei stuck with second-rate wisecracks and "heart." (Message to Marcia Gay Harden: Congratulations, but beware – look what's happened to Tomei less than a decade after her Best Supporting Actress win.) And as for Greg Kinnear, who plays Someone Like You's token good-guy-who-turns-into-the-bad-guy, give it a rest. You may have perfected the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing grin, but you perfected it about 10 films ago. Nowadays, when you make your first appearance onscreen, we know you're going to be a bastard.

In RITA Award-winning, New York Times best-selling author Robyn Carr's Temptation Ridge, two lonely hearts are surprised by love while visiting the close-knit mountain community of Virgin River. Shelby, a sheltered and idealistic 25-year-old, doesn't want to fall for a man like Luke. And 38-year-old Luke, a battle-hardened Blackhawk pilot, fears being hurt by a young lady like Shelby.

"The best!!"
Robyn Carr does it again with another excellent story in the Virgin River series. If you love Robyn Carr's other VR books you will love this one. The story of Luke and Shelby is excellent. Several other side love stories and catching up on favorite characters from previous books too. I would pay 2 credits for these books. The narrator is excellent too. Don't miss these!!
"temptation Ridge"
I love these Virgin River books by Robyn Carr. I think the narrator is wonderful and with each one of these books I feel like I'm with family. She always includes characters from the other books and ties them together. The men love their women and cherish them as well as their children and always look out for their community. I so wish that Ms. Carr would write about a few more of Jacks service friends and maybe some of Mels friends. These books have some spicey romance but within the context of the story line not just sex for sex sake. These books are always a good use of your time.
avid reader
"Another excellent story!"
This series is by far one of the best I've read, and this installment is no exception. I recommend starting at the beginning with Virgin River so that you can become familiar with all the characters and reading the books in chronological order. Top notch character development and plot lines. Every book in this series, including this one, is well worth the credit!
I love books! Audiobooks take stories to the next level. I'm obsessed with Audible and will try to rate all of my books. Happy Listening! ;)
"My favorite book of the series so far..."
Absolutely! The story is sweet, sexy and interesting. There are a few secondary story lines that are very interesting as well. And Therese Plummer is the very best narrator!!!
I don't like to give spoilers but this book has many memorable moments.
The end was movie perfect!!! Loved it.
When a very special character dies... Sad
The series should be read in order (this is book 7). I've really liked every book in the Virgin River Series.
"Another great Virgin River installment!"
After reading Virgin River, I couldn't wait to start Shelter Mountain, and now I am totally hooked on the series. They keep getting better, and I feel like the characters are old friends and I'm growing with them. But what I am most impressed with, is Therese Plummer's performances. Her ability to alter her voice to very distinct female and male characters is amazing. But not only that...she puts so much emotion into her characters that I have found myself reaching for tissues to dab up the tears! The series is great, and so is the narrator.
"Absolutely Love.............."
I have really enjoyed listening to this series. The narrator, Theresa Plummer, is the best narrator. Each character has there own voice and you can tell a difference between each character. I love the fact that each book keeps telling you about the past characters along with introducing new characters. I could listen to these books over and over again!!
Robyn Carr did it again. I keep thinking when I read one of her books that it will be too similar to the last one. I loved her Thunder Point series and with every book, it was a good and different story.
This one hooked me from the start. These books do entertain and keep my interest with every one even though it's easy listening.
Temptation Ridge is a great listen. I love the characters and storyline in this book. There are a lot of them and surprised she didn't make a series out of this one. It's worth a credit.
Therese Plummer is fantastic narrator. I can see why she narrates most of ther books.

"A good read!"
Title: Temptation Ridge (A Virgin River Novel)
Author: Robyn Carr
Publisher: Mira Books
Series: Virgin River #6
Reviewed By: Arlena Dean
Rating: 5
"Temptation Ridge" by Robyn Carr was a beautiful contemporary novel of the Virgin River #6 that featured three romances. The main storyline was of Shelby McIntyre and Luke Riordan...then it moves on to Walt Booth and Muriel and lastly Abby MacCall and Cameron Michaels. Be prepared for a read of not only romances that are going on in this small California town but where you will find the people will come together in sadness, in rescue times, along with plenty of babies being born, pregnancies, town near disaster, abuse, a homeless man with 'Down's Syndrome,' and a town drunk.
The characters were all well developed, believable and colorful bring out a well written read of suspense, humorous, tearful and even some sexy scenes that will keep you interested turning the pages to see what will happen nest.
I found "Temptation Ridge"a well written romance novel that I would definitely recommend to you as very good read.
Love a story w/ humor,romance,adventure, w/out a lot of bickering,& good deals.
"Story hooks you..Love, friendship. beautiful town"
The quality writing of the author and the talent of the narrator which makes the book top a notch listen.The beautiful setting of the town the story is written around, also, all the characters, their interaction is special.
She is a great narrator, gifted with giving characters, male & female, unique voices.
I bought this in a promotion. This book is part of series but can be a stand alone read. Of course after enjoying the characters so much I look forward to reading the others in the series.
Professional woman, reading constantly
"Good "break" books"
All the books in this series are light, predictable reading. But for me they offer a pleasant break from "heavier" reading and are good listening while I am painting. On to the next one in the series.
"Cute story"
My first title by the author was Virgin River and I frankly liked that story better. Temptation Ridge is also a good story, but there are too many different stories put together in one book. There are several different side stories developed at the same time and for that reason the relationship between the main couple stays a bit superficial. All the stories are good, but I personally do not like the story to be fractured, I prefer to follow mostly one couple throughout the book.
At some points the story also tended to be just too cute and all the characters a bit too good and nice.
Overall I plan to buy more books by this author just because the stories are simple and relaxing. They make me feel good.

Wilson's list of volunteer efforts is at least a mile long because he spreads himself over a large number of causes. The one that gets a significant amount of his attention is helping people with neurological diseases.
Don's wife was diagnosed with Primary Lateral Sclerosis and he is her caregiver. Each year, Don plans a gathering of people with these diseases as a way to give them a chance to learn from each other. It is a way to share their successes and failures.
Don calls the day-long meeting a fun way to give out information that makes a difference.

He jumped out of a moving vehicle and tried to run away.
But police say an officer was able to run down the suspect and arrest him.
The suspect, identified as Anthony Ortiviz, was allegedly spotted driving a stolen car around 1 a.m. Thursday, and refused to stop when a pursuing officer tried to pull him over in the area of Circle and I-25. That officer, Officer Wihera, decided not to chase him further.
Just moments after terminating the pursuit, police say Ortiviz and a second suspect jumped out of the stolen car. Wihera had called for backup after initially seeing the stolen car, so a second officer was in the area when Ortiviz and the other suspect tried running away. That officer was able to catch Ortiviz.
The second suspect was able to get away from the area. Police have not released a suspect description at this time.
Ortiviz was charged with theft by receiving. Police say he already had a warrant out for his arrest at the time of the incident.

Knee joint replacement is surgery to replace a knee joint with a man-made joint. The artificial joint is called a prosthesis.
Total knee replacement; Knee arthroplasty; Knee replacement - total; Tricompartmental knee replacement; Subvastus knee replacement; Knee replacement - minimally invasive; Knee arthroplasty - minimally invasive
Damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the knee joint. Man-made pieces are then placed in the knee.
These pieces may be placed in the following places in the knee joint:
You will not feel any pain during the surgery. You will have one of these two types of anesthesia:
After you receive anesthesia, your surgeon will make a cut over your knee to open it up. This cut is often 8 to 10 inches long. Then your surgeon will:
The surgery takes about 2 hours.
Most artificial knees have both metal and plastic parts. Some surgeons now use different materials, including metal on metal, ceramic on ceramic, or ceramic on plastic.
The most common reason to have a knee joint replaced is to relieve severe arthritis pain. Your doctor may recommend knee joint replacement if:
Most of the time, knee joint replacement is done in people ages 60 and older. Younger people who have a knee joint replaced may put extra stress on the artificial knee and cause it to wear out early.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You will stay in the hospital for 3 to 4 days. During that time you will recover from your anesthesia and from the surgery itself. You will be asked to start moving and walking as soon as the first day after surgery.
Full recovery will take 4 months to a year.
Some people need a short stay in a rehabilitation center after they leave the hospital and before they go home. At a rehab center, you will learn how to safely do your daily activities on your own.
The results of a total knee replacement are often excellent. The operation relieves pain for most people. Most people do not need help walking after they fully recover.
Most artificial knee joints last 10 to 15 years. Some last as long as 20 years before they loosen and need to be replaced again.

Police are looking for the driver who's described as a black male, about 6'3", 203 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

North Carolina Gov.-elect Pat McCrory has named a close political ally and a veteran business executive to join his upcoming Cabinet.
McCrory said Thursday that Dr. Aldona Wos of Greensboro will be his secretary of health and human services, while John Skvarla of Pinehurst will be secretary of environment and natural resources.
Wos is a former U.S. ambassador to Estonia and physician who worked in McCrory's gubernatorial campaign, leading the "Women for McCrory" movement.
Skvarla currently is chief executive of Restoration Systems of Raleigh, which repairs wetlands and protects streams.
McCrory also said transition team executive director Thomas Stith will be his chief of staff when the former Charlotte mayor is sworn in Jan. 5. McCrory says he'd like to have his entire Cabinet in place by then.

"We teach students how to think about design, social innovation, and cultural invention in entrepreneurial and hands-on ways in order to develop new types of design-led practices and new modes of thinking that will enable them, once they graduate, to become real agents of social, environmental, and economic change while doing well financially," Mitrasinovic continues. In keeping with this philosophy, Mitrasinovic has forged alliances with external partners such as the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and the Union Square Partnership. Such ventures have afforded Mitrasinovic's students opportunities to apply design in ways that produce lasting social and environmental benefits. For the 2006 JPMorgan Chase Community Development Competition, Mitrasinovic, together with professors Joel Towers and Dennis Derryck, led a team including graduate architecture students and students from Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy. Their winning project resulted in a 120,000-square-foot green community and residential center for the Fortune Society, a group that helps people who have been incarcerated reintegrate themselves into the community. More recently, Dr. Mitrasinovic has led the development of the university-wide BS in Urban Design and BA in Urban Studies programs, as well as new graduate Theories of Urban Practice and Urban Design Ecologies programs at the School of Design Strategies, all of which will use New York City as the ultimate laboratory.

d / Deco
Like Chloé itself, Deco was born in Paris – albeit around 30 years earlier, in the twenties. Combining elegance, functionality and modernity, it was a rediscovery of aesthetics after the austerity of the First World War. Decoration – in a new, modern style – was all.
Its importance to Chloé? Deco prefers graphic symmetry and geometric shapes over fussy styles – a sensibility that echoes across the Chloé collections. A direct influence particularly strong in the maison's collections from the seventies and eighties, it still exerts its influence today.
Clare Waight Keller, within her first collection for Chloé, referenced Deco with small touches like vertical stripes of chiffon on blouses, and a colour palette recalling classic Deco posters.
It's also no coincidence that Chloé marks its 60th anniversary with an exhibition – Chloé.Attitudes – at Paris' Deco-era Palais de Tokyo. Look out for the rich vein of Deco heritage running through the space and the show.
Here Chloé shares some of the key Deco-inspired pieces – with prints and embroidery across dresses, clutches, shirts, scarves and show invites.

Gaby Aghion
Born in Egypt in 1921, Gaby Aghion moved to Paris after the war and pioneered the concept of "luxury ready-to-wear" with the creation of Chloé in 1952. She did not feel comfortable with the restrictive wardrobe of the fifties and her thirst for greater emancipation quickly outweighed this "Couture" period as she turned the page without hesitation to offer women a new approach to fashion.See the designs
The young Gaby chose the fabrics, drew six models and had them made by the head seamstress at the atelier Lelong. She then decided to offer them herself to the fashion boutiques which were then just starting to carry ready-to-wear clothes. She put on the first Chloé show in 1956 at a breakfast at the Café de Flore, the epicentre of young intellectual Parisians that she mingled with. It was a success and today she is still the first to express her surprise at her own audacity.
To keep the flame alive and the label youthful, Gaby Aghion continuously sought talented designers, names that are now part of the history of contemporary fashion, to work alongside her.

Karl Lagerfeld
1965-1984 then 1992-1996
In 1965, a young man from Hamburg, Karl Lagerfeld, joined Chloé and worked under the direction of Gaby Aghion – alongside Maxime de La Falaise, Michèle Rosier and Graziella Fontana – before being appointed the house's exclusive designer in 1975.See the designs
Under his direction, Chloé became one of the most iconic brands of the seventies. Karl was particularly noted for his sense of humour and eccentric creations. Each of his collections for the brand became a happening.
Karl left Chloé in 1984, but was to return for a second time in 1992, staying for another four years.

Martine Sitbon
Born in Casablanca Martine Sitbon came to Paris to study at the fashion school, Studio Berçot. In 1987 she joined Chloé as Creative Director.See the designs
Her silhouettes for the brand played on a soft femininity combined with an eclectic wardrobe, with references as diverse as a nineteenth century dandy, the Edwardian era and a matador.
Although her early collections seem fairytale-esque, it was rock music – especially from the seventies – that became the strongest influence on Sitbon's Chloé designs.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney was born in London – the daughter of Sir Paul, and his wife Linda. At the age of 26, after graduating from Central Saint Martins, Stella was hired by Chloé as Creative Director to replace the outgoing Karl Lagerfeld.See the designs
Inspired by her mother – who wore Chloé – the young designer brought a breath of fresh air: celebrities, style and buzz, youth and glamour, became part of the Chloé world.
The brand took on a vintage, sexy, rock 'n' roll tone, appealing to a new generation of young women who were nostalgic without being sentimental, independent and modern. The Chloé wardrobe always mixes all kinds of influences – and the vital energies of the street inspired Stella's take.

Phoebe Philo
When Stella McCartney left Chloé, her assistant and friend, Phoebe Philo, succeeded her at the brand. Born in Paris, Phoebe graduated from London's Central Saint Martins a year after Stella.See the designs
Her aesthetic was subtly different. With Phoebe's arrival, Chloé started to work leather, to the delight of customers, who rushed to get bags and shoes.
With Phoebe, a complete wardrobe of desirable pieces was developed – faithful to the spirit of the brand and yet right for now. She offered a new way of looking at fashion, adding a twist of British cool to the very Parisian Chloé.

Hannah MacGibbon
Hannah MacGibbon was born in London. Another graduate of the capital's Central Saint Martins, she initially worked under Phoebe at Chloé and is credited with bringing a touch of chic to the street style of her predecessor.See the designs
In 2008, Hannah took over the reigns at Chloé for three years. Bringing in a demure aesthetic of timeless pieces and neutral colours, she drew on a seventies aesthetic of the brand but with a modern twist. Wide capes, nude tones, jeans and chambray shirts were revisited, with belted high-waist pants.
Hannah's designs were about freshness, sophistication and grace – quintessentially Chloé.

Clare Waight Keller
Clare Waight Keller was born in Birmingham. She succeeded Hannah at Chloé in the summer of 2011, moving from Pringle of Scotland.See the designs
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, she began her career at Calvin Klein in New York, worked in the men's studio at Ralph Lauren, and then at Gucci, under Tom Ford.
Eagerly anticipated, Clare Waight Keller's first show for Chloé took place in October 2011. It went to Chloé's very soul – fluid and feminine "but boyish", she said, these qualities were expressed in long white and powder pink pleated dresses, eyelet embroidery and belts on the hips of wide pants.
Developing her take on Chloé for Autumn / Winter 2012, there were blouses, throw-on coats and pretty dresses in a sorbet palette. Chic, sensual and natural, that's Clare's Chloé.

Maine's system for treating people with severe mental illness is hampered by two bottlenecks. One for those trying to get in, and one for those on the way out, back into the community. The process of getting out of the hospital setting relies heavily on the availability of what's called "supported housing," in either apartments or group homes. Observers say there just aren't enough spots to the fill the need. One non-profit agency in Portland, Shalom House, is helping people with serious mental illnesses find independence and stability.
Interior View of a Group Home in Portland
A block away from Portland's busy downtown a 24-year-old woman named Lindsey sits at the foot of her bed, in a space that serves as both bedroom and living room.
"I like how this apartment is really open, and I like the bay windows especially. Especially during the summer," Lindsey said. "That gets a lot of light."
Lindsey, who has asked that we not use her last name, lives alone, but has access to support staff that monitor her medication and help with other needs for 12 hours per day. She suffers from schizoaffective disorder, which she said makes her emotional and hallucinate. During the past few years, she has gone from depending on crisis units and hospitals to finding a place at a group home and is now settled in this supported apartment.
"I've learned living skills, like I've learned how to cook better," she said. "And I've learned more social skills. Because before this I was in high school, I wasn't very social, and it's just helped me blossom into a more mature person."
This apartment is operated by the non-profit agency Shalom House, which owns 25 residential properties in southern Maine. In all, these properties provide housing for 220 people with severe mental illness.
"We're not just housing, and we're not just mental health," said Shalom House Executive Director Mary Haynes-Rodgers. "We're very unique in that we do those two things together."
She said that compared to other states, Maine offers a lot of support for people with mental illness. But the system, she said, is disjointed, and many of those providers who work at the ground level, such as the staff of Shalom House, are often frustrated in the effort to provide what she describes as the "best continuum of care."
"And how you ensure the money is being spent the best it can be and that clients are getting the right level of care," said Haynes-Rodgers. "I think there's been a break down in the system. There's not a lot of communication."
All the residents pay some sort of rent, but the housing is funded mostly through MaineCare and state grants. Rates range from about $100 to $250 per day, compared to a $1,000 per day at a state hospital, where some individuals wait for months for an open spot in supported housing. At Shalom House alone, there's a wait list of about a 100 people at any given time. State funding is being directed to supported apartments, which offer more independence. And while there is certainly a need for that type of housing, Clinical Director Ed Blanchard said there's a shortage of services for some clients who really need them.
"There's a number of people who at times in their life need more than that, and if they don't get it, they'll end up in the hospital, in the emergency rooms, and perhaps back at the state hospital," Blanchard said.
In the city's east end in the Munjoy Hill neighborhood, is the Seth Jordan House. It's home to six residents, including Steven Dow.
"Almost a year now, I believe," Dow said. "Around a year. And I'm going bowling today."
The house looks and feels like any nice home, with a living room just inside the door and a bright, wooden-floored dining room where staff and residents share home-cooked dinners. Staff are on site 24 hours per day, and have helped Dow, who has schizoaffective disorder, learn essential household chores.
"I've learned how to do laundry, and dishes, and stuff like that," Dow said. "I've learned how to do those."
Dow said he likes that he can also be independent and walk to the ocean, just minutes away. Clinical Director Ed Blanchard said group homes like this are a somewhat invisible but vital, part of communities.
"Very often we've come into neighborhood in a building that has been run down, or even abandoned," Blanchard said. "We've rehabbed it, made it a nice building, occupied it, and become good neighbors."
Neighbors, said Blanchard, who learn to be part of the larger community as a whole.

Investigators are about to release images of two men who were at the sites where twin bombs were detonated at the Boston Marathon.
Authorities have video images of men and are expected to release them at a 5 p.m. press briefing in Boston. The hope is that the public can help identify the men, according to a federal law enforcement official who is not authorized to comment publicly.
The official said investigators want to question the men in the bombings - which killed three and injured 176 near the finish line of the Marathon Monday afternoon. The official cautioned that it is unclear whether they are suspects or merely witnesses.
At one of the bomb sites, several law enforcement officials told USA TODAY, surveillance video shows a man putting down a bag. The bag appears to be similar to the black nylon pack described earlier as possibly used to carry the explosive devices, the officials said.
The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard of Dorchester, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell of Medford, and Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China.
At a service for victims in Boston Thursday, President Barack Obama vowed the attackers would be caught and prosecuted. "Yes, we will find you -- and, yes, you will face justice," Obama said.
In Washington, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday that the "full resources'' of the Justice Department were being deployed in the investigation and to guard against any future attacks.
Holder, the nation's top law enforcement officer, told a Congressional committee Thursday that the "individual or group that carried out this heinous act'' would be held accountable... "by any means available to us"
Holder's comments came after Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a House panel that the responsibility for the attack has yet to be linked to individuals, international or domestic terror organizations.
"We don't know,'' Napolitano told a congressional panel, as investigators in Boston continue to pursue a number of promising leads.
Authorities continue working to identify individuals at both sites as well as a number of other people in video and photographs near the explosions.
More than 50 people remain hospitalized, with 7 listed in critical condition, down from 14 Wednesday. They include a 10-year-old boy at Boston Children's Hospital whose leg was amputated and a nine-year-old girl with a leg injury. Brigham and Women's Hospital had four people in critical condition and Boston Medical Center had one. At Tufts Medical Center, five bombing victims remain under care, but none are listed as critical.
Meanwhile, families of a newlywed couple who both suffered a leg amputation below the knee are thanking supporters for an outpouring of donations.
The families of Patrick and Jessica Downes said Thursday that the generosity from friends and strangers has restored their faith in humanity. Over 4,400 people have donated more than $246,000 to the couple through GiveForward.com.
The families say they don't want the couple to worry about paying for prosthetics and modifications to their home during the recovery process.
Thirty-year-old Patrick and 32-year-old Jessica are in stable condition and recovering from surgery. They were married in Boston in August. Jessica is a nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, one of several area hospitals treating bomb victims.

Aburame Clan

|Aburame Clan
|(油女一族, Aburame Ichizoku)
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game, Movie
|Clan Data
The Aburame clan (油女一族, Aburame Ichizoku) is one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure,[1] and are characterised by their use of insects as weapons. At birth, members of this clan are offered to a special breed of insects such as kikaichū as a nest, residing just under their host's skin. These insects with then live in symbiosis with their host.
The clan members may also carry additional insects in jars or gourds with them on missions. The insects can leave and enter their host's body through various pores. They feed on chakra as a food source, making them quite deadly. The relationship between the shinobi and the insects is mutually beneficial. The host grants the insects shelter and allows them to feed off their chakra, their body becoming a living hive of tens of thousands of these insects, and in return the insects do the user's bidding, allowing the shinobi to perform ninjutsu-like techniques without the use of hand seals or chakra conversion. A major defining trait of the Aburame clan is that all of its known members' eyes are obscured usually by glasses, as well as they wear clothing that usually cover up most of their body.
A female insect can be left on a target, which then can be tracked by smell by the male insect, or scout insects can be sent out and return to tell the host information about the area. For this reason, Aburame clan members are experts in espionage; they can communicate with the insects, and the insects specialise in stealth because they make no noise or motion during combat. In addition to utilising insects in battle, the Aburame clan also studies insects. In the anime it was shown that they were rivals of the Kamizuru, a clan of bee users, until they defeated them in battle. Even though their insect-related techniques are known only amongst the clan, a select few possess a special type of insect that is rare even among the clan's members. To date, only Shikuro and Torune are known to possess it.
It has also been shown that they possess the ability to communicate with other bugs and insects, as seen when Shino used what looked like a bee to gather information for him during the Chūnin Exams,[2] and later when Muta asked some worms to investigate what was happening below ground during a reconnaissance mission.[3]
Other Notable Clan Members
- During Pain's invasion, an unnamed member of the clan accompanied Shibi along with Muta and Shino to confront Konan.[4]
- During the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, an Aburame was seen alongside Hiruzen and his forces driving the Nine-Tails out of the village.[5]
- During the Fourth Shinobi World War, a group of Aburame clan members used the Insect Jamming Technique in conjuction with the Hiding in Mist Technique used by Kirigakure shinobi to obscure the vision of Tobi and Madara Uchiha and prevent them from sensing the Allied Shinobi Forces.[6]
- "Aburame" (油女) means "oil woman". It also may be a variation of "Aburamushi" (油虫), which means "cockroach".

Comments On Mar 20, 2016:The bags fit like a glove. They are very secure (do not move). The expansion of the bags are impressive. They are not water proof. Tape your body work to keep the dirt from dulling your finish if your concerned about that.

Comments On Feb 16, 2016:I love having these saddle bags. They surprisingly hold quite a bit of stuff. And they secure onto my bike super tight. I don't even know they're there when I'm riding around. They're also incredible quality. I imagine no quick brush or hit with something will tear a hole in these bad boys. I highly recommend them!

Comments On Apr 02, 2014:I ordered and used these on my recent ride through the Baja, on my KTM 450XC-W and loved them. They have lots of storage space, mount easily and give easy and quick access to your stuff. They do tend to bounce around a bit on rough trails and whoops, but that wasn't really an issue. Much better than using a backpack, that's for sure!

When someone says the word "Slingshot", most people gain mental images of something moving fast and adeptly. Those images are key to Aqua Lung's new Slingshot Fins. The Slingshot Fins will help you move through the water with Speed and Ease you never thought possible. These Fins brag of having Power Bands, which are basically Coiled Energy waiting to Spring-into-Action as you Fin. Pure Silicone Power Bands are Loaded-with-Energy on the Power Stroke.

The Mid-Foot Joint Increases the Slingshot's Flexibility, which will make each Kick more Efficient and Comfortable, partially due to the fact it move the source of your Kicks from the Front of your Foot to the Entire Leg.

This provides the Blade a Significantly Larger Range of Motion, often up to 5 times that of a conventional fin.
Finally, much like a Car or High-End Bicycle has a Gear Shift, so do the Slingshot Fins. The Gear Shift allows you choose one of three Settings to Control your Energy and Effort Levels in Response to your Diving Conditions. Easy to Shift During-the-Dive, the three Settings can be made even with Gloves.

San Juan Sounds
this wiki
San Juan Sounds is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. Each stand-alone game has an exclusive tracklist, but downloading The Ballad of Gay Tony for Grand Theft Auto IV updates the station with all songs.
GTA IV marked the debut of reggaeton & Latin American music in the GTA series (since Radio Espantoso in GTA Vice City and GTA: Vice City Stories). This addition illustrates the influence of Latin American culture in New York City and thus, its in-game representative of Liberty City.
This is Luis Fernando Lopez's favorite radio station as it is played in his house and in Armando's Cavalcade in any Drug War.
The name refers to the famous Puerto Rican capital city San Juan, where Reggeaton music originated back in the early 90's before its mainstream crossover success in mid-00's U.S. The station is mostly based of one of the three spanish radio stations in NYC, One of them is La Que Buena.
The radio station is sponsored by Las Fuego energy drink.
This station was "criticized" by some players due to reggaeton being a genre that many dislike, especially in South America.
Exclusive to Grand Theft Auto IV. Hosted by Daddy Yankee who is a famous Reggaeton artist and is one of the pioneers of Reggaeton since it's creation in Puerto Rico in the early 90's.
