Not saying white people can't sing, but there is usually a different timbre to different voices.
Famous for her song, "Into Yellow".

Stronghold Collections. more like Awesome Collectionsthejimmycan | April 14, 2014 | Review of The Stronghold Collection Steam - PC
I played stronghold games as a kid and the HD remakes are exactly that. The graphics are completely up to date and stunning, at least compared to the normal version. From this bundle I truly recommend Stronghold Crusader and Extreme, you'll spend countless hours on it's dozens of missions. The controls are smooth and the game play is (in my opinion) better than the civilization games. It's not turned based so you have to make quick decisions on the spot, which gets harder when you play the extreme. I completely recommend this game to anyone.
Totally play it.thejimmycan | April 10, 2014 | Review of Nether Chosen - PC
I got this game before the April patch and it was a bad game to play. But now after the patch it is a very great game to play. It has some great graphics and easy to learn controls. This isn't a dayz clone, it improves on that in many ways. First of all it has enemies to fight throughout the game not just sporadically. Secondly, there is a level up system that helps you with the game play, like increased health or better gun aiming. A major difference is the addition of safe-zones where you can trade gun parts you find, buy from the global market and even trade in the body party of fallen enemies for guns and useful tools. But don't think you can stay in the safe zone forever, it would get attacked by nethers once in a while and you would have to evacuate. The map in which the game is played is huge and it is just getting bigger. I would recommend this game to anyone.

Basically I buy a tmobile SIM, pick the prepaid plan for one month and pop it in. Now here's my question:
1) I don't want to port my Verizon number yet. I'll get assigned a random one right? At a later point can I do a port?
2) Swapping SIM from one network to the other, will Verizon know/care, unintentionally shoot my number over?
3) I plan to use T-Mobile SIM for a few hours at a time and then get back to Verizon for most of the day. Will I need to tinker with apn settings or should this work automatically.
4) Our X has a micro SIM right?
I'd welcome any other thoughts!

The Center is an outpatient, hospital-based program to provide treatment for problem wounds. Patients can call the Center to inquire about a consult or may be referred by their primary care physician. The program operates by appointment and is open each weekday from 8 a.m.to 5 p.m. A state-of-the-art facility, the Center provides the most advanced therapies and the latest clinical modalities to treat problem wounds.
Incidences of problem wounds are on the rise due largely to an aging population and an increase in diabetes. For example, approximately 18.5 million Americans have diabetes and, of that population, about 1.8 million will suffer from a problem wound.
For most people, cuts and scratches heal within days or weeks. But for those whose natural healing process is hampered, a simple sore can become a complex medical problem. Without proper treatment, these problem wounds can hamper physical activity, quality of life and, in some cases, be debilitating.
The Center employs the most technologically advanced wound care therapy. There are multiple diagnostic and treatment modalities depending on the situation. These include infectious disease management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, laboratory evaluation, nutritional management, pain management, diabetic education, nuclear medicine, radiology and debridement.
Treatment options also include Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which is prescribed for approximately 20 percent of non-healing wounds.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a procedure in which a patient breathes 100 percent oxygen while relaxing in a pressurized chamber. This delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the blood stream and the wound bed, which rapidly accelerates the healing process.

Senior Night was a rousing success.
Following an emotional pre-game ceremony, No. 19 UConn beat Rutgers, 69-63, in the regular season home finale.
"It was just a wonderful, special moment for me to get this win," coach Kevin Ollie said.
It was fitting that seniors Shabazz Napier and Niels Giffey carried the Huskies, scoring a game-high 26 and a career-best 16 points, respectively. They were a combined 14-for-22 from the field, including 11-for-18 from 3-point range.
"We were so pumped up and hyped up for this game it was just easier to play for us…," Giffey said. "That's really the perfect end for me playing here in Gampel."
The Huskies improved to 24-6 overall, 12-5 in the American Athletic Conference.
Here's a post-game breakdown:
-- As you might expect, Ollie raved about his seniors. Check out the attached video to see what he said during his post-game press conference.
"I owe them a lot and thank them for the opportunity to coach them," Ollie said.
It was the final home game for Napier, Giffey, Tyler Olander, graduate student Lasan Kromah and walk-on Tor Watts who all received their framed jerseys during the pre-game ceremony.
The starting lineup included Napier, Giffey, Olander and Kromah as well as junior DeAndre Daniels.
-- In a touching moment, Napier walked over and hugged former coach Jim Calhoun after embracing Ollie during the Senior Night ceremony.
"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here at all," Napier said. "I grew with him. He helped me out throughout my whole entire four years here and he continues to do so."
-- Olander played well in a limited role, chipping in four points and three rebounds in 13 minutes. Kromah had three points on 1-for-7 from the field.
-- The Huskies had one of their best perimeter shooting games this season, converting 12 of 25 from 3-point range. Napier hit a career-high seven out of 11 attempts and Giffey was four for seven. Lasan Kromah accounted for the other one.
Napier fell two short of tying Ray Allen's record for 3-pointers in a game.
-- Daniels failed to score in double figures for a season-high fourth straight game, finishing with seven points and adding a team-best six rebounds. But he did make a big block with about 30 seconds remaining and UConn leading by four. Foul trouble helped limit him to just 21 minutes.
-- The Huskies were out-rebounded for the fourth time in five games. That's a growing concern.
Rutgers, which ranks eighth in conference games in rebounding margin at minus 2.9 per game, held a 37-28 edge.
-- This was a tight game to the finish. UConn never trailed in the second half but led by just single digits most of the final 20 minutes.
"At the end of the day, we made stops and got a win," Ollie said.
The Huskies forced 16 turnovers and held the Scarlet Knights to 43.6 percent from the field.
-- Ollie took the microphone and thanked the fans after the game.
"Hopefully we'll be back here in April to celebrate," Ollie said.
Yes, he means celebrate a national championship.
"I believe we're going to be back here, so I'm going to say it," Ollie said. "I believe that we're going to win the national championship."
-- Napier on Senior Night: "I was excited to come out and play. I told the guys that even though it's Senior Day, we have to come out and play the same way. … But it was definitely a special moment."
-- You have to feel for slumping sophomore Omar Calhoun. He continues to just miss shots and went 0-for-3 on Wednesday. He's made just one of his last 19 shots.
"He's going to get out of his slump," Giffey said. "I've been talking to him."
-- The Huskies, who've won seven of their last eight games, moved into a tie for third place with Southern Methodist. They finish the regular season with a tough game at No. 11 Louisville on Saturday. The Cardinals can clinch at least a tie for the regular season title with a win.

If you would like to change your username, send a request to the Accounts Administration team, including:
- Your real name
- Your present username
- Three suggested, unique new usernames, in order of preference
Your request will be processed based on the availability of the requested names.

text: Icing On The Cupcake (IOTC) has always been known to deliver the finest ingredients and most delightful taste in every bite. Now they are making every last bite count with a fundraiser to benefit a Georgetown family. Christee Owens, co-owner of IOTC, is a childhood friend of the family. She graduated from Del Oro High School with one of the Paquet family's daughters. Last week the Paquet family lost their father, Vincent, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer prior to Christmas. With no health insurance, this family has struggled to pay mounting hospital bills and now funeral expenses. Placer County communities have been hosting fundraisers and collecting donations in hopes of easing the family's stress during these tough times. Icing On The Cupcake has joined in the movement with a fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on March 24 at the original IOTC store, 5065 Pacific Street in Rocklin. From open to close, Icing on the Cupcake will donate all proceeds from sales at that location to the Paquet family. "Whether you come by every day for a daily dose or are sampling IOTC for the first time, this is the day to stop by and help a local family in need," said Owens. "Every bite helps!"

May 5, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- The lawyer for a man accused of gunning down a volunteer during a prayer service at a Georgia megachurch says the issue of his client's mental competency must be addressed.
Attorney Drew Findling said before a Friday court hearing that Floyd Palmer's competency must be evaluated as the criminal case against him moves forward.
Police say Palmer walked into a chapel last month, approached 39-year-old Greg McDowell and shot him to death at World Changers Church International outside Atlanta. McDowell was killed as he led a prayer group. No one else was hurt.
Police records show that Palmer was charged more than a decade ago with a shooting outside a Maryland mosque. Palmer was committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2004 after pleading not criminally responsible to the mosque shooting.

Professor of Occupational Therapy Peter Talty will cap his 25-year teaching career at Keuka College with a "last lecture" Sunday, May 20.
It begins at 2 p.m. in Norton Chapel and is free and open to the public. A reception will follow in OT Lab (second floor, Hegeman Hall).
The title of the lecture is "Changing Addictive Behavior through Occupation," and Talty offers this summary:
"It seems that trying to change habits is a challenge for everyone, especially those behaviors that are addictive in nature," said Talty. "Habits that have a negative impact on health and well-being have been an interest of mine for several years. I have looked at the range of damaging habits from overeating, video games, pornography, smoking, alcohol, and so on and they all become entrenched behaviors that erode one's quality of life and health. (more…)
In 1986, Pixar Animation Studios opened, Aliens and Top Gun were hits at the box office, Stephen King's It was one of the most popular books, and Professor of Occupational Therapy (OT) Peter Talty arrived on the Keuka College campus.
Now, 25 years later, Talty will end his tenure at Keuka College at the conclusion of the spring 2012 semester. Talty has been an occupational therapist for more than 40 years, and has practiced OT in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, a hand therapy clinic, home care, skilled nursing facilities, school systems, factories (ergonomics) and community agencies.
Talty was teaching kinesiology at the University at Buffalo when he received a call from Shirley Zurchauer, the founding chair of OT at Keuka.
"I came to Keuka for one course and one semester, and never left," said Talty, who has also served as an adjunct professor at D'Youville College in Buffalo. Until 1997, he was also the owner and president of OT Works PC, a private OT practice serving numerous agencies in the Western New York area.
According to Talty, who served as division chair from 1991-2002 and was selected Professor of the Year in 1994, his departure will have no impact on the students' education.
"We have great leadership and advocacy in OT under [Professor of Occupational Therapy] Vicki Smith," said Talty. "She is the best division chair we've ever had and is a strong and tireless leader. She knows OT practice, the OT environments, and the place of education in making the best OT clinician possible. She is also a tireless advocate for the OT profession, the OT faculty, and the OT students."
He also believes Keuka has "the greatest relationships with OT clinicians because of Jean Wannall (professor of occupational therapy and academic fieldwork coordinator)," Talty explained. "Jean has the best interpersonal skills and is able to establish and maintain strong ties with the OT clinicians who train our students. She also gets our students ready for the real world and serves as the link between the classroom and the clinics."
In addition, Talty, who teaches Occupation Adaptation and Technology I, Advanced Theory, and Occupational and Assessment Intervention in Adolescence and Middle-adulthood I, says Keuka has a "curriculum that works, a dedicated faculty grounded in the real world of OT practice, a supportive environment, and fantastic labs and technology.
"Keuka has the most positive work environment that I have ever experienced," he added. "There is an attitude of cooperation and support that is not common. The OT students are the best. They never miss class or are late unless something beyond their control occurs. They have faith in what we teach and work extremely hard to get the complex stuff we dispense. They also appreciate our efforts as faculty."
After his departure from Keuka, Talty plans to ride his bike—with a group from the American Lung Association—from Seattle, Wash. to Washington, D.C. to raise funds for research.
"My father died of emphysema at the age of 54, and the fact that [the ride] is organized by the American Lung Association makes it all the more meaningful," explained Talty. "It will be about 3,300 miles, take 49 days, and we will ride about 83 miles a day. I love to cycle and have always wanted to ride across America, but never had the time to train or do it."
Talty and his wife, Jan, will spend the winter months in Florida, where he intends to explore teaching opportunities at Florida Gulf Coast University, practice hand therapy and rehabilitation, and volunteer at the Florida Holocaust Museum.
While his wife will not make "the 'Big Ride' with me, she will help me write the next chapter in our great life together," said Talty. "We will be married 46 years Oct. 30."
When he returns to New York, Talty plans to volunteer at the Enchanted Forest Wildlife Sanctuary, where he will be licensed to care for injured and orphaned wildlife. In 2013, Talty plans to walk the 2,180 mile-long Appalachian Trail, which passes through 14 states.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) can be an excellent way to engage students in subjects from art history to zoology (A to Z), and just about every discipline in between. PBL was initially implemented in medical schools and has become a mainstay of instruction for schools of nursing, social work, engineering, veterinary medicine, business, law, dentistry, education, and numerous others.

text: The doors are still open despite Strikes Family Entertainment LLC filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in federal court Dec. 3. Located on Lonetree Boulevard off of Sunset Boulevard, the entertainment complex features 50 bowling lanes, an arcade, birthday rooms and a conference room. The group also owns a similar complex in Elk Grove. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy typically includes a plan to reorganize in order to keep the business alive and to pay creditors over time, according to court documents. Co-owners Jim Falls and Keith Burcham could not be reached for comment. Strikes General Manager Bobby Ruiz declined comment except to say he was busy booking corporate events at the bowling alley, which remains open for business. Since it opened in August of 2006, Strikes has been a hot-spot for community events and high school and other bowling leagues. The owners, who are represented by Sacramento attorney W. Steven Shumway, now must convince a bankruptcy judge they have a realistic plan to pay their creditors and get back in the black. Their creditors include T.L. Meadows, LLC and EDF Resource Capital, Inc. of Sacramento. Their next hearing is 10 a.m. Jan. 14 in federal court in Sacramento. ~Jon Brines, Placer Herald Correspondent

This study is investigating how different forms of stigma and discrimination impede soldiers' and family members' recognition of and response to mental and behavioral health problems.
The project will:
- Survey soldiers, family members, and health service providers at three U.S.-based Army posts. Face-to-face and telephone interviews will be conducted and used with public information to map systems of mental and behavioral health policies, practices, and services.
- Conduct a Web-based survey of a random sample of active-duty soldiers, family members, and service providers to assess responses to vignettes depicting soldiers experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, mild traumatic brain injury, depression alcohol/substance abuse, and suicidality.
- Analyze the data to identify how different forms of stigma and discrimination may impede help-seeking behaviors.
The findings from this action-oriented research will ultimately be used to inform policies and practices to reduce barriers to help-seeking and promote timely recognition and response to the mental and behavioral health problems experienced by soldiers.

The traditions that indicate he is from the descendants of the Master of the Women of the world, Fāṭimat al-Zahrā, peace be on her
Comprised of 220 traditions
516. Al-Mustadrak `alā l-ṣaḥīḥain1: In the book al-Fitan wa l-malāḥim, it has been recorded that Abū l-Naḍr al-Faqīh informed me, from Uthmān b. Sa`īd al-Dārimī, from `Abd-Allah b. Ṣāliḥ, from Abū l-Malīḥ al-Riqqī, from Ziyād b. Bayān (and he mentions his virtues), from `Alī ibn Nufayl, from Sa`īd b. al-Musayyib, from Umm Salma, from the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings be on him [and his family], who mentioned the Mahdī and said: "Yes, he is a reality and he is from the descendants of Fāṭima."
[And narrated to us] Abū Aḥmad Bakr b. Muḥammad al-Ṣairafī at Marv, from Abū l-Aḥwaṣ Muḥammad b. al-Haytham al-Qāḍī, from `Amr b. Khalid al-Ḥarrānī, from Abū l-Malīḥ, from Ziyād b. Bayān, from `Alī ibn Nufayl, from Sa`īd b. Musayyib, from Umm Salma, may Allah be satisfied with her, from the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings be on him [and his family], who mentioned the Mahdī and said: "He is from the progeny of Fāṭima."
517. Al-Burhān fī `alāmāt Mahdī ākhir al-zamān2: Abū Nu`aim has recorded from al-Ḥusayn, peace be on him, that the Holy Prophet, Allah's blessings be on him [and his family], said to Fāṭima, "O my daughter! The Mahdī is from your descendants."
518. Ghaybat al-Shaykh3: From Aḥmad b. Idrīs, from `Alī b. Muḥammad b. Qutayba, from al-Faḍl b. Shādhān, from Muḥammad b. Sinān, from `Ammār b. Marwān, from al-Munakhkhal b. Jamīl, from Jābir al-Ju`fī, from (Imam) Abū Ja`far, peace be on him, who said: "The Mahdī is from the descendants of Fāṭima. He will have a tanned complexion."
519. Al-Fitan4: Narrated to us Abū Hārūn, from `Amr b. Qays al-Mulā'ī, from al-Minhāl b. `Amr, from Zirr b. Ḥubaish, who heard `Alī, peace be on him, say: "The Mahdī is a man from us, from the descendants of Fāṭima, may Allah be satisfied with her."
520. Al-Amālī5: Informed us a group from Abī l-Mufaḍḍal, from Muḥammad b. Fīrūz b. Ghiyāth al-Jallāb at the suburb Bāb al-Abwāb, from Muḥammad b. al-Faḍl b. al-Mukhtār al-Bānī—who is also known as Faḍlān Ṣāḥib al-Jār—from Abū l-Faḍl b. al-Mukhtār, from al-Ḥakam b. Ẓuhair al-Fazārī al-Kūfī, from Thābit b. Abī Ṣafiyya Abū Ḥamza, from Abū `Āmir al-Qāsim b. `Auf, from Abī l-Ṭufail `Āmir b. Wāthila, from Salmān al-Farsī, may Allah be satisfied with him, (in a lengthy tradition) from the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings be on him and his family, who said to Fāṭima:
Surely Allah, the Exalted, chose me from my family. He also chose `Alī, al-Ḥasan, al-Ḥusayn, and you. I am the master (sayyid) of the sons of Adam, `Alī is the master (sayyid) of the Arabs, you are the master of all the women, and al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn are the masters of the youths of Paradise. From the descendants of you two is the Mahdī. Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He, will fill the earth by him with justice just as it will be filled before him with injustice.
521. Tafsīr Furāt al-Kūfī6: From Muḥammad b. al-Qāsim b. `Ubaid, from various narrators, from `Abd-Allah b. `Abbās, from Salmān al-Farsī, from the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings be on him and his family (in a lengthy tradition in which he mentioned the virtues of `Alī, peace be on him), where he said to Fāṭima, peace be on her: "The Mahdī—the one behind whom `Īsā—will pray, is from you and from him [i.e. `Alī]."
522. Al-Manāqib7: `Abd al-Malik asked al-Zuhrī, "Do you know anything about him whose name will be called out from the sky?" Zuhrī answered, "(Imam) `Alī b. al-Ḥusayn informed me that he is the Mahdī from the descendants of Fāṭima."
523. Al-Sīrat al-Ḥalabiyya8: He said: "It has been narrated that the Mahdī is from the progeny of the Holy Prophet, Allah's blessings be on him [and his family], from the descendants of Fāṭima."
524. Sharḥ al-akhbār9: From the narration of Mikhnaf b. `Abd-Allah, through his chain of narrators from the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings be on him [and his family], who said:
The Mahdī is from the generation of Fāṭima, the Master of the Women of the World. He will emerge and will fill the earth with fairness and justice just as it will be filled with injustice and unfairness, regardless of the days being prolonged or shortened. In his era, life will become pleasant. A caller will call out and will curse the Umayyads and their followers and send salutations on Muḥammad and will send blessings on `Alī and his followers. On that day, all the people will be safe.
525. Biḥār al-anwār10: Citing al-Amālī, From al-Ḥaffār, from Uthmān b. Aḥmad, from Abū Qilāba, from Bishr b. `Umar, from Mālik b. Anas, from Zaid b. Aslam, from Ismā'īl b. Abān, from Abū Maryam, from Thuwair b. Abī Fākhta, from `Abd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā, from his father who said:
On the day of [the Battle of] Khaibar, the Holy Prophet, Allah's blessings be on him and his family, gave the standard to `Alī b. Abī Ṭālib, peace be on him, and Allah granted him victory. Then, he mentioned him being appointed on the day of Ghadīr and some of his virtues that were mentioned there . . . (until he said), the Holy Prophet, Allah's blessings be on him and his family, started crying.
He was asked, "What has made you cry, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Jabra'īl, peace be on him, informed me that the people will oppress him, deprive him of his right, fight against him, kill his children, and oppress them after him. Jabra'īl, peace be on him, also informed me from his Lord, Mighty and Majestic be He, that this will continue until the Qā'im rises. [When he does], their word will become high, the nation will gather on their love, those having hatred towards them will be a minority, those who dislike them will be disgraced, and those who will praise them will be the majority.
This will happen only after the cities have changed, the people have been weakened, and there will be no hope for relief (faraj). It is then that the Qā'im will appear amongst them. His name is my name and his father's name is like the name of my son. He is from the descendants of my daughter. Through them, Allah will manifest the truth and through their swords He will destroy falsehood. People will follow them either because they fear them or are inclined towards them."
Then, the Holy Prophet, Allah's blessings be on him and his family, stopped crying and he continued, "O group of believers, know that there will be relief, because surely, Allah's promise will not be violated and his decision cannot be countered, and He is the Most Wise and the Most Informed.
Verily, Allah's victory is near. O Allah! They are my family. So, keep away from them all uncleanness and purify them a thorough purification. O Allah, guard them, protect them, take care of them, be there for them, assist them, help them, make them mighty, don't degrade them, and make them my successors. You are Powerful over all things."
The traditions with the following numbers also show the aforementioned concept: 80, 118, 120, 126, 127, 129, 158, 168, 170, 171, 173, 176, 178, 181, 191, 193, 196, 205–308, 323, 359, 382, 397, 414, 417, 428, 450, 463, 467, 470, 492, 497–499, 526-543, 546–548, 550–572, 588, 589, 600, 608, 612, 624, 641, 670, 765, 770, 771, 786–807, 859, 918, 973, 1104, and 1230.

This devil wears Chanel
Published: Friday, March 5, 2010 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 9:12 a.m.
Netflix works on a first-come, first-serve basis. If the movie you want has a wait period, you get the next movie on your list. And don't think just because your movie is No. 1 on your list it will be held for you. If you have a current movie out, and someone else also has that movie as their No. 1, expect a wait.
So it came as a surprise when I got an e-mail from Netflix saying my latest movie, "The September Issue," would arrive Saturday.
This was a real treat because the movie was just made available the day before, and I had sent in the previous movie earlier that morning.
"The September Issue" follows Vogue editor Anna Wintour and her staff as they assemble the famed September issue, which debuts all the latest fall fashions.
If you are familiar with the film "The Devil Wears Prada," then you know the character of Miranda (Meryl Streep) was based on Anna — her former assistant is the author of the book.
The year is 2007 and Anna's goal is to out-do every September issue ever done before. Her right hand gals are Grace Coddington, creative stylist/director of the photo shoots and André, the 6-foot, over-the-top editor-at-large.
The movie is great because it shows the general audience exactly how hard it is to put together a publication.
The scraped ideas.
Hurt feelings.
Limited budgets.
Long days and short nights.
The only thing that lacked was the editorial side of Vogue. Yes, everyone gets the magazine for the pictures, but they have stories as well. Never once did I see Anna with a red pen editing copy. An assistant pitched her some ideas about a spa and Anna just nodded her head.
Who is in charge of the writing?
The goal of this "documentary" was to do some damage control for Anna. She has been labeled cold, demanding and very weight conscience on her staff and those who are in her magazine. (It is rumored she told Oprah to drop 20 pounds before she could appear on the cover and she staged an "intervention" for André about his weight.)
So when Anna and her daughter, Bee (Katherine Shaffer), are at their country home in Long Island, it is a tender moment.
When the cameraman asks Bee if she's interested in following in her mother's footsteps, you can see a ting of disappointment in Anna's face when Bee says no.
"I want to go to law school," Bee says, because people take fashion too seriously.
Her points had some merit, but like all parents who have a family business, I know Anna really wanted her daughter to at least say to the camera she was appreciative of her mother's work. Anna's brother, Charles, and ex-husband, David Shaffer, were not shown.
As feisty and outspoken as Grace is, she holds her tongue around the boss — and I love it. Who hasn't talked smack about the boss?
Grace is upset because Anna and another photo director keep cutting her budget and photo spreads. She thinks they are trying to cut her entire spread from the issue, but she will not say anything to them.
Instead, she complains to the cameraman and an uneaten salad.
The most human moment comes when Anna talks about her family, whom she seems very proud of. Her father, Charles Wintour, was a newspaper editor in Britain. Her brother, Patrick, is the political editor at the Guardian (British newspaper); and other brother, James, is an official with the Gravesham Borough Council (local government); and sister, Nora, is the deputy general secretary for Public Services International Union.
Anna says her siblings find her work, "amusing."
Yes, she is not doing brain surgery or finding a cure for cancer, but give the woman a break, she is lording over a billion-dollar industry.
She is providing an escape from the mundane of daily life.
Nothing new was learned watching the movie, but it was an enjoyable afternoon spent watching the making of a magazine that I read.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Riley Skinner scored on a 1-yard keeper with 2 seconds remaining and Wake Forest rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat Stanford 24-17 on Saturday.
Skinner finished 18 of 26 for 187 yards with a touchdown pass for the Demon Deacons (1-1). His 44-yard pass to third-stringer Lovell Jackson with less than a minute left set up his winning score.
Redshirt freshman Andrew Luck was 23 of 34 for 276 yards with two touchdowns to Ryan Whalen for the Cardinal (1-1). They were denied their first 2-0 start since 2004.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- Two people with knowledge of the situation tell The Associated Press that the NCAA is scheduling meetings to discuss allegations with specific individuals involved in the long investigation of Miami's athletic compliance practices.
Some of the meetings have been scheduled for Monday, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the NCAA nor Miami authorized them to reveal the developments publicly. Reviewing specific findings is perceived as a sign that the investigation is ending and that Miami may finally receive its notice of allegations letter in the coming days.
Sanctions would be expected several months after that letter arrives.
Miami has been under NCAA investigation since 2011.

Fixing London's broken democracy could have been easily ignored, but Unlock Democracy London is making the candidates for London Mayor listen.
On Wednesday your MP has a choice: let David Cameron rig party funding rules or support cross party changes to the Trade Union Bill. We need you to write to them and help them make the right choice.
Democracy is our core value. We campaign to improve it, but it's also important to us that we're democratic as an organisation and our members have their say in what we do.
Last month's launch of our We the People campaign brought together politicians, campaigners and activists who all care about how the absence of democracy affects our everyday lives. We had a lively debate on the prospects for reform and how to take the campaign forward.

At King's Cross station in London, there's a whole tour dedicated to the Platform 9 and ¾ mentioned in the Harry Potter series as the beginning point for a train journey to wizarding school Hogwarts. Unfortunately, I couldn't partake in the tour as I was off to a conference which aimed to bring about a future, which some detractors hope will stay fictional, of a country no longer using First-Past-The-Post.

Here is some pictures of Woodgreen Wonderboy's garden
Lots of beautiful allium's
Fairygirl at the back there in the garden - must have decided to pop in to have a look
Really like this aquilegia really pretty
Some of the 150 Dahlias planted in there
Lots of white here and some interesting topiary
Lots of flowers and the bees were there buzzing around on the open day enjoying the flowers as well as us
Well what a nice load of flower in all the gardens
Lovely photos GG,the garden looks like a country estate,you were lucky to catch Fairygirl in that picture.
Tina, amazing what a bit a bit of "paddy" will do. Sure the urns will be lovely. Hope you're not still cross and knees ok, you will have to strut in lower heels tonight
Woody stop the knicking idea, you've plenty in your wonderful garden.
I've done absolutely nothing in the garden today, did wander for 10 when sun finally burst thro' at 4pm, can't say admired as I've spotted all sorts needing attention. Pineapple broom now opened, and self set poppies looking good but in odd places. A weird thing has thrown up a spike ( not a sheep impailer) something that arrived many years ago in a pot with other cheapos when GC flooded. I'm sure someone will know what it is. I keep saying I'll take pics but it's an ar**. I have to take pics on camera, upload to computer, downsize them and then post them. Told you I'm still in 2000. I will take pics when it flowers and have a session on this steam driven thing. Same goes for Yucca with 3 spikes.
I should get a decent/ all singing all dancing phone, but then I'd have to ask Salino what to do with it. Couldn't put pics on until she helped. But I only send texts, don't call on it etc...little Billy no mates
GG thanks for great pics, Woody great garden.
Thanks Fidget for suggesting Trebah, someone else recommended that as well. Any other ideas gratefully noted down in my little notebook
Glad I'm not the only one who rarely uses their mobile Kef. I've a PAYG and I spent £10 over 2 months. Only talk on it if one of my lot calls me. Can't take pics either. Suits me.
At least my paddy got things done. Calmed me down too.
Loved all the gardens WW, if you can call them gardens! Must take up an awful lot of everyone's time. I wouldn't be able to cope.
Where was I? ...when ...how....can't remember......aaagh
oh yeah....Woody's garden....forgot.. I flew about a bit last Sunday
lovely pix Ggirl
BL - so glad you're having such a lovely holiday. The opera sounded terrific. Can't beat a bit of Mozart- unless it's Verdi of course!
And I mean Guiseppi - not Verdi in Cornwall....
KEF I can take pix on my phone but no idea how to put them on here
Been out all afternoon doing more bits to fence and making the gate for the side of house which will separate back and front gardens. Painted it but need one more bit of wood for the back supports, hinges to put on and screw together properly before putting it in place. Wanted to keep going while it was dry as it's to rain tonight and tomorrow.
Tina what was rattling your cage?
My daugher, but an hour out the garden calmed me down and now I think - sod her. Sounds unkind, but it's how I feel at the moment.
Fairygirl, I'm really Dverdi..........!!
Ill get my coat
Yes Verd- get it now....
Tina- b****y kids.....
WW garden was one of the larger ones but some of the bigger ones were mostly grass with some parts flowers, think I must of spotted Chicky in one garden - a topiary shrub one the left there
What is the yellow plant? anyone know what it is? I do like it
And here's a picture from garden 1 Nursery cottages
Really like the rockery nice and colourful
You certainly took some lovely photos Gardengirl. Wish my rockery looked like that. More effort needed.
Gardengirl asking about the plant reminds me. I have lots of little, weeds I think, popping up which look like carrot tops. Can anyone help?
Gg, that yellow plant looks like lysimachia, a take=over plant
Here is a better pic
I have that Tina Turner in the garden not sure what it is either waiting for a bit to flower to see if pretty and worth keeping
I think it may be yellow loosestrife. It's a bit of a "thug" as it suckers underground and spreads, altho' can be pulled up.
Thanks WW. Vaguely remember someone asking about it at sometime and thought it was suggested it was a weed. Just my luck. Why do weeds always spring up but never pretty plants. Had one bit last weekend, now have 4. Sunday, it will cease to be.
Tina well done on your painting today.I've only done a bit of deadheading myself.
Hope everyone has a good weekend
Thanks Nutcutlet and Woodgreen wonderboy for plant ID

Woody stop the knicking idea, you've plenty in your wonderful garden.
KEF what was that?
Woodgreen wonderboy wrote (see)
Was that in your garden GG or is it by the railway line so I can pinch some next time I travel your way?

Theodore Wafer blasted Renisha McBride with a shotgun when she banged on his door in the middle of the night after a car crash.
23:12, UK, Thursday 07 August 2014
A suburban Detroit homeowner who argued self-defence in the fatal shooting of an unarmed woman on his porch has been found guilty of murder.
Theodore Wafer, 55, killed Renisha McBride, 19, with a shotgun blast to her face through a screen door after she knocked looking for help last year.
Wafer, who lived alone, said he was afraid when someone showed up on his porch before dawn.
The case, which has sparked protests in the Dearborn Heights suburb, was rife with racial undertones as Wafer is white while his victim was black.
The victim's mother, Monica McBride, praised the verdict.
"Her life mattered and we showed that," she was quoted by the Detroit Free-Press as saying.
The victim's father, Walter Simmons, told reporters: "He was a cold-blooded killer. People have a right to bear arms, but you need to do it with reason and responsibility."
It is unclear why McBride knocked on Wafer's door, but she had just been in a car accident and was intoxicated at the time, according to previous testimony and alcohol tests.
Wafer said he felt terrorised after hearing loud poundings on his doors at around 4:30am on November 2 last year.
"I wasn't going to cower in my own home," he testified, saying he feared there was more than one would-be intruder. "It was them or me," he said.
But prosecutors said Wafer should have called the police instead of appointing himself "judge, jury and executioner".
Wafer's strategy was "shoot first, ask questions later", said a prosecutor.
The airport maintenance worker could face up to life in prison following his conviction of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
However, his sentence is expected to be shorter when he learns his fate on August 21.

American Airlines is adding five to seven minutes to flight times from its biggest airports. According to Bloomberg News, this is being done to reduce flight delays. But please be advised - it won't do a thing for passengers.
That's because it won't make the airline's flights arrive on time more frequently. It will just make it look like they do.

There are just a few issues with this.
I hate other people's kids. Not all of them, mind you, but for the most part, people's kids are shitheads. Two of the boys on the team hate me. Well, women. They hate women. How do I know? When I pull them in to talk to them about respect, and how they talk to me, they say, "Um, where's our real coach?" Really? I am, dude. "No, you're the team MOM." No you little fucking cocksucker, I am the COACH. And I will sit your ass out in a motherfucking heartbeat if you roll your little womanizing eyes at me one more time. I Double Dog Dare you to try me on this one.
I hate other kids parents. What do the jerk-off dads of the asshole kids do through this whole thing? Stand there. Giggling. It's going to be a long season.
I have played exactly ZERO baseball games in my whole life. This gives me the slightest little handicap in the whole "teaching other people" department. Fortunately, I am a fast study. And they gave me a handbook.
I can't throw a ball for shit.
I am not quite strong enough to properly lock the equipment shed, which is 15,765 years old and made of lead and the eenciest bit warped. My angle for this? Get there early, earlier than ANYONE, and unlock it, set up my field, and play dumb blond when the other coach says, "But we're the home team. We're supposed to set up." Ooooo, I didn't know! Oopsie. (This is where the boobie shirt really pays off)
Me? In a Baseball cap? Like Britney without any makeup on. Like Jack Nicholson in the morning. Like the kid from Mask. Not. Cool.
I have three kids. One of which is two. Only one of which is on the team. Baby wearin' is frowned upon in the middle of a baseball field during play.
Did I mention that I've never played baseball before?
I have the tiniest little potty mouth problem. Just sayin'.
Since I am a girl, the moms of the kids on the team think it's totally okay to come up to me and ask about the baby, and tell me how proud they are of their son, and how though all the rest of the kids are total shits, well, see how good my boy is being and aren't I a great parent and my isn't that a low-cut top you have on and do you knit because I just got this new pattern and shut the hell up, woman. I'm busy over here.
I have a nasally voice. I can't help it; I was born that way and you try living in Philadelphia during your formative years. It's not exactly the hottest of accents. Point is, I don't exactly command attention. Maybe I should go for the Fran Drescher thing. NO ONE can ignore that evilness.
Really, I've only ever even once watched a baseball game start to finish, and I am pretty sure I was fairly intoxicated and quite possibly making out with someone through most of it.
And the biggest problem of all? The real kicker? I am, and please don't repeat this, I am kind of liking it. As in, enjoying it. Shitty kids aside (I have awesome stink-eye; that'll be nipped in the bud) it's kind of, well, err, um, fun?
Someone get me Chrysler on the phone. It appears I'll be needing that minivan after all.
See all the Thursday Thirteens here.

Tiger loss still a win in Capital City
Monday, September 10, 2012
It rained on Jefferson City's first SEC rally on Friday, and Mizzou lost its SEC opener on Saturday. But the rally and game were win-win situations for the Capital City's economy.
The city's Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) promoted the city to Georgia fans both behind the scenes and by holding the rally. Some local hotels and restaurants did a booming business from fans of both teams.
"Oh, heck yeah. We got stomped," said Shelley Crocker, Country Kitchen's general manager. "We'll take it any time we can get it."

14th July 2012
The Festa del Redentore or Feast of the Redeemer is an important event for the Venetians and one of the city's most traditional festivities. It is also quite ancient, dating back to 1577 when Venice was freed from the plague.
At that time the Doge commissioned Andrea Palladio to build a church dedicated to Cristo Redentore (Christ the Redeemer) on the Island of Giudecca.
The event is held each year on the third Saturday in July when a floating bridge of barges is set up connecting Giudecca to the rest of Venice.
In the early afternoon all sorts of brightly-painted vessels, boats and gondolas start flocking into St. Mark's Bay and the Giudecca Canal. Families, friends, spectators celebrate together, eating, drinking dancing and singing until the the fireworks begin at 11.30 and then enjoy the breathtaking 40-minute show.
An incredible night you won't forget…

Advocates for improved school nutrition hope the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, a bill cleared for a final vote by the Senate this past Wednesday, might pave the way for lunch programs across the country to replicate the success of a deliciously successful pilot project in Berkeley, California.
The School Lunch Initiative provides "delicious, healthy, freshly prepared meals using seasonal ingredients from sustainable farms to all of Berkeley's public school students." It grew from Uber-celebrity chef Alice Waters' proposal to build a football field-sized garden at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. Waters is an authority on the locavore movement, which encourages the consumption of food that's produced within a 100-mile radius.
"It's an incredible program," said Mark Coplan, spokesman for the Berkeley Unified School District. "We don't use any frozen stuff at all. Even when you're looking at pizza, you're looking at really good stuff."

"You are now free to advertise about the cabin."
It started with elevator commercials and "Interactive Urinal Communicators." Now the battle for brandable spaces is reaching new heights - 35,000 feet to be exact.
Brand in the Hand, a California-based company, offers third-party advertisers the opportunity to repurpose snack bags, beverage cups, cocktail napkins and other on board consumables into promotional vehicles.
The benefits of a captive audience have not escaped the company's clients. "The in-flight consumer has always been very receptive to advertising," said Darrin Sarto, Director of Brand in the Hand.
With roughly 600 million travelers flying in the United States in 2009, Sarto said, the concept was such an obvious publicity medium - "a hand-delivered billboard every time."

Acolytes of "Food Rules" guru Michael Pollan and other well-meaning foodies who've made corn a scapegoat for the nation's health crises have welcomed a new study from Princeton University that suggests high-fructose corn syrup causes more significant weight gain than table sugar.
But the findings have been criticized by food science experts and industry veterans, who say the study unfairly demonizes corn syrup and implicitly absolves cane sugar of responsibility for making Americans fat.
"The debate about which one is better for you is a false debate, because neither of them is good for you," says Elizabeth Abbott, author of the forthcoming "Sugar: A Bittersweet History."

Can we please stop calling the nation's love affair with cupcakes a trend?
Last week, Detroit, Michigan, was the latest city to declare "the nostalgic cupcake craze is prepared for a long stay," echoing a Houston, Texas, Chronicle story from February that heralded "the nostalgic mini treats are a food trend that's here to stay."
These cities are the latest to forget that the cupcake craze took fire more than a decade ago when "Sex and the City" popularized New York's Magnolia Bakery and its sugary treats.
"I don't know how long it takes for a trend to end and become mainstream, but apparently we've established an industry," Magnolia founder Jennifer Appel told The Associated Press last year.

Ron Moore, Illinois Soybean Association
Growing a connection with consumers
Farm organizations ramping up consumer education
One in four Illinois workers is tied to the agricultural industry. Illinois agriculture contributes more than $6 billion to the national economy. And while recent research shows consumers care about who produces their food, they are misinformed about the Illinois farmers who raise it. As members of the Illinois rural community, we can all do our part to change that.
The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA), through soybean checkoff funding, is addressing this issue in 2011. We have projects underway at the association level and as part of a coalition of farm organizations that includes the Illinois Beef Association (IBA), Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB), Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) and Illinois Pork Producers Association (IPPA).
The goal is to capitalize on the favorable farmer image the statewide poll found, while also tackling unfavorable farming practices perceptions. The poll was conducted by GfK Roper on behalf of these Illinois farm organizations with more than 1,100 non-farm adults. The poll was supervised by Milwaukee-based Morgan & Myers, and placed heavy emphasis on gathering opinions from moms and other influencers, especially from the Chicago area.
Respondents acknowledged that they hold Illinois farmers in substantial esteem. However, consumers shared a mistrust of modern farming practices and doubts about food production that stem from concerns about food safety and animal welfare on so-called "factory farms."
Not surprisingly, consumers were unable to clearly define what they consider to be "factory farms," even though they believe those are the types of farms that dominate Illinois agriculture. Respondents said, on average, that 54 percent of Illinois farm products come from "corporate farms," versus 46 percent from family farms. The reality, based on USDA statistics, is that individual family farms and partnerships represent 94 percent of Illinois farms.
I am encouraged that seven out of 10 consumers in the poll said they felt more positive about farming when told the facts about the percentage of family-operated farms in the state. That provides opportunity for us to get the positive message out about Illinois agriculture.
Consumers are willing to listen. It's time we look for every chance to engage in meaningful dialogue, and become the trusted source of information about how our food is grown and raised.
ISA is working on consumer education projects in 2011 that will target Illinois consumers with accurate information about soybean production and the farmers who raise soybeans. On a broader scale, the coalition plans to use social media, conventional advertising, special events and personal communications to more widely share facts and facets about family farming.
Last August, the coalition used combined resources at the Illinois State Fair to address image issues by defining for consumers a "farmer's look." Large-scale banners around the fairgrounds portrayed true photos of farm men, women and children. The feedback was positive, and the coalition is working on other opportunities to showcase actual farmers and their families.
I challenge everyone living in rural Illinois to think about how you can communicate the positive messages of Illinois agriculture. Research indicates that first-hand experiences with farmers, even at a young age, make a lasting impression and cause people to view farmers more positively. Sure, taking time away from our never-ending "to-do" list to host a school field trip or talk to a school or civic group isn't always what we want to do. But that is the type of activity that each of us can plan to do to help educate consumers about family farming.
Consumers want to know that farmers care about producing healthy, environmentally friendly food. They want to know why farmers make the decisions we do about production agriculture.
American family farmers should be the most trusted food-producing people in the world. Many of us still farm together as families or live in the same rural areas where we were raised. Often, we are on the same land as our previous generations. It's time we share more of that good information with the consuming public. Won't you join us in getting the word out?

text: Home Culture Man Kills Himself Over Obama Re-Election Henry Hamilton, 64, who had threatened that this might happen, wrote, "Do not revive! F--k Obama!" in his living will. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Nov. 14 2012 2:27 PM 0 Getty Images In a really tragic story that we're guessing has less to do with national politics than it does with the overall mental health of a deeply troubled individual, a Florida man who warned that he might cause harm to himself if Barack Obama won the presidency (What happened to just threatening to leave the country, or getting your state to secede?) seems to have made good on his promise. New York's Daily News reports that Henry Hamilton, 64, was discovered dead in his home on Nov. 8 alongside two empty bottles of prescription drugs and a living will in which he'd written, "Do not revive! F--k Obama!" The saddest part is that while the Obama administration will continue for only four more years, his friends and family will have to grapple with this loss forever. His partner Michael Cossey told the Key West police that Hamilton was "very upset about the election results," The Miami Herald reported. Hamilton had reportedly warned Cossey that, "if Barack gets reelected, I'm not going to be around." While Hamilton's official cause of death is still pending an autopsy result, a police spokeswoman told the paper that "There's absolutely no evidence of foul play." In addition to his anguish over the results of the presidential election, Hamilton was also "very stressed about his business," running a tanning salon, according to Cossey. Hamilton's friends were also apparently aware he was struggling, and one had asked the police department to regularly check on his well-being, the Herald reported. It was during one of those checks that Hamilton's dead body was discovered. Read more at the Daily News. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

eMarketer estimates mobile ad spending in the country, including spending on banners, rich media, video and search, will rise nearly 85% this year to $225 million. Strong double-digit increases are expected to continue throughout the forecast period. By 2016, eMarketer forecasts, mobile ad spending in Germany will have increased more than sixfold to nearly $1.4 billion.
Within Western Europe, the UK still dwarfs Germany's share of mobile ad spending, but the largest economy on the continent will boast a 17.2% share of the total this year, rising to 20.9% by 2016, putting it solidly in second place.
eMarketer forms its estimates of mobile ad spending in Germany and the rest of Western Europe based on the analysis of data from benchmark source IAB UK/PwC, estimates from other research firms, and consumer mobile usage trends.
