The First Time Fest closed yesterday on Monday April 7, marking the end of the second year the festival. Ten filmmakers were in the running to receive national theatrical distribution from the Cinema Libre Studio as well as a trip to Scandinavia. Founded by Johanna Bennett and Mandy Ward after deciding to make a festival that would reward first time filmmakers for their work and efforts to make their first film, they decided to make the First Time Fest. Over this past weekend, filmmakers from all over the world featured their films. The festival also featured talks from established guests like Michael Moore, as well as panels and first films from Julie Taymor and more! The film festival ended at the 42West Nightclub in New York City which awarded not only these filmmakers recognition for their work, but also Julie Taymor for her work as well.
Taymor was awarded the John Huston Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema, due to her massive success as a first time filmmaker with her Shakespeare adaptation of "Titus" as well as carrying on through the years with other films such as "Frida," "Across the Universe" and "The Tempest."
"Love Steaks," a German film about a woman falling in love that was all improvised, won the grand prize of theatrical distribution as well as the Scandinavian trip. Directed by Jakob Lass and first time film editor Gesa Jäger, the First Time Fest Award for Outstanding Achievement in Editing also went to Jäger, for her lively, adventurous and precise editing work.
The First Time Fest Special Jury Prize was awarded to "1982," a film written and directed by Tommy Oliver about a father trying to prevent his ten year old girl from taking crack just like her mother did. Hill Harper, who portrayed the father in the film, won the First Time Fest Award for Outstanding Achievement in Acting since his performance was intimate and ultimately glorious.
"Bittersweet," directed by Marieke Niestadt, is a documentary about women boxers who put their lives on hold to win. Niestadt won the First Time Fest Award for Outstanding Achievement in Directing for her disarming and beautifully constructed documentary.
The First Time Fest Award for Outstanding achievement in Storytelling went to "Farewell, Herr Schwarz," a documentary following a brother and sister separated by the war and living eerily similar lives despite the fact that they live in two separate continents across the world.
The First Time Fest Award for Outstanding achievement in Cinematography went to Zachary Galler of "The Sleepwalker," a thriller about family lies and sister secrets. Galler won the award for his subtle, gorgeous visual set that moved the film along. The film also won the First Time Fest Award for Outstanding achievement in Scoring, which was awarded to Sondre Lerche and Kato Åbland since they featured sounded that linger after you've gone.
This marked the close of the second year of the film festival, where actor Nicolas Haden-Guest, reporter Anne-Katrin Titze and film critic Stephanie Zacharek acted as jury members. The festival was a great success and we can only hope for it to get better next year.

A few weeks ago, it looked like the WWE was planning on introducing a new stable to the company. The formation happened when Xavier Woods came to the ring to talk to Kofi Kingston and Big E after the two lost a match, telling them it was time to take what they deserved. Then, after one other appearance, they have not appeared on television together since. According to PWS on Saturday, there is a chance that they are still planning to team up.
The stable itself looked like a solid unit but was met with fan disinterest and disappointment. The biggest complaint was that they were three African American wrestlers and were instantly compared to the Nation of Domination. That group included Ron Simmons, The Godfather, Mark Henry, The Rock and D-Lo Brown and was all about fighting against racial inequalities.
With the O.J. Simpson trial and Rodney King beating, it was great timing. There is little like that in the news right now, outside of the events in Ferguson. However, this group was forming before that happened, so at the time, there was nothing to compare it to. Even the men involved spoke out against the idea. Big E made a sarcastic comment on Twitter about racial based angles and Xavier Woods said that he wasn't planning to be part of something based on race.
The idea, according to Woods' tweets, was to make the idea of three or more men teaming up because they were held down and not given a chance, regardless of race. The team has been shelved for a few weeks now but Xavier Woods escorted Big E and Kofi Kingston to the ring at a house show on Friday night, making it look like they are still a work in progress. Whether they return to "WWE Monday Night Raw" is still unknown.

In the past several decades, critics of U.S. antitrust policy have coalesced behind the libertarian banner of free market. Perhaps the most vocal and strident of these was Ayn Rand, an unapologetic paladin of unbridled laissez-faire capitalism. Ms. Rand's most prominent disciple, Alan Greenspan, the head of the Federal Reserve from 1987-2006, denounced in 1961 that
The entire structure of antitrust statues in this country is a jumble of economic irrationality and ignorance. It is the product: (a) of a gross misinterpretation of history, and (b) of rather naïve, and certainly unrealistic, economic theories.
A central theme that runs through a lot of these criticisms is that antitrust laws must necessarily restrict freedom, and therefore they are anathema to the bedrock principles of a free society.
However, such view is misguided. These critics are conflating and confounding economic freedom with political freedom. These two freedoms, important though they are, are in fact opposed to each other in very fundamental way.
In Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, Ms. Rand attacked antitrust laws for "persecuting" the businessman for his success. Hounded like a criminal, he is reduced to "[t]he position of a scapegoat for the evils of the bureaucrats." Ms. Rand believed that antitrust laws were taking the United States—"the freest country on earth"— down the road to serfdom. Or as she put it,
A pure, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism has never yet existed anywhere. What did exist were only so-called mixed economies, which means: a mixture, in varying degrees, of freedom and controls, of voluntary choice and government coercion, of capitalism and statism.
While it is true that the kind of capitalism Ms. Rand was championing has never existed, it is also true that such idealized capitalism can only exist in a dictatorship, not in a liberal democracy.
James Madison made it very clear in Federalist 10 and 51 that organized interests, or "factions" as he called them, were necessary in a free republic. "Liberty," Madison analogized, "is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires." Where there are organized interests, there are organized efforts to influence the political process with money. When money infiltrates politics, collusion between big business and government is unavoidable. Hence, antitrust laws are there to protect the vested interests of those who are willing to buy access to government power.
But capitalism, in its purest, most pristine form, demands the kind of freedom that antitrust laws want to restrict – the freedom of firms to seek and maintain a monopoly in their respective industry. Because antitrust laws logically flow from a political system that encourages competing organized interests to vie for influence in government, restricting the role of money in politics would render quid pro quos between big business and government more unlikely, and thereby unchain capitalism from the regulatory shackles that are hobbling it.
It appears, therefore, that economic freedom demands a restriction on, if not an abolishment of, political freedom. Only a dictator can guarantee, by fiat, the economic freedom that undiluted capitalism promises – by outlawing money and lobbying in politics. As Madison observed, one of the "methods of curing the mischiefs of faction…[is] by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence."
Where there is more political freedom, there must necessarily be less economic freedom. In defending the rights of business, Ms. Rand and her ilk are, indirectly, attacking the rights of citizens in a democratic society to organize and to lobby for government protection of their interests. But so long as the U.S. Supreme Court continues to insist that corporations are people, as the Court did in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in 2010, and that campaign finance regulation is a violation of free speech, as the Court so held in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission in 2014, antitrust laws in the United States are unavoidable.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz opened the 21st annual National Culture and Heritage Festival at Jenadriyah today, with Saudi and foreign dignitaries in attendance.
In a keynote address, Assistant Deputy Commander of the National Guard for Military Affairs Prince Gen. Miteb bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz remarked that King Abdullah conceived the idea for the festival 20 years ago, and that it has become one of the most popular cultural events in the Arab world.
The week-long festival, organized each year by the National Guard, showcases Saudi Arabia's rich cultural heritage with exhibits including traditional arts and crafts, poetry, singing and dancing, as well as the traditional camel race.
Other programs this year include an opera presented by Saudi singers, 22 dramas, poetry evenings, a book show, art exhibitions, and a Qur'an recitation contest, the Arab News reported today.
The festival also offers seminars on relevant issues. This year, the main seminar will be on "Unity of Arab and Islamic Ummah: A Future Vision," the Arab News reported. Participants include Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Dr Abdulaziz Al-Tuwaijeri, secretary-general of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO); and Dr Abdullah Al-Turki, secretary-general of the Muslim World League (MWL). A second seminar will address
"Charitable Work: A Futuristic Vision."

A spokeswoman for the mayor of Atlanta stated today that the city of Atlanta is hoping to be the site of the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
"We are seriously considering moving forward in the bid process, and we are honored to be in the running," said Melissa Mullinax, spokeswoman for Mayor Kasim Reed. "Atlanta is a great city."
Atlanta played host to the 1988 Democratic convention, and is hoping to bring the next version here.
However, Atlanta faces a crowded field, according to CNN. As of now, there are a total of thirty-four cities that are hoping to win the business and host the convention that would nominate a hopeful Democratic successor to Barack Obama.
The city of Columbus, Ohio is making an early bid for the convention, and is planning a reception at this week's DNC meeting to woo members of the committee. However, Columbus is trying to gain favor with both sides of the aisle, as they may also be bidding to host the Republican National Convention in 2016.
The 2012 conventions were held in Tampa, FL for the Republicans and Charlotte, NC for the Democrats.

[Have you or a colleague won a research-related prize or honor? Let the Research Alert know.]
The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) announced that two professors from the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have been elected to the prestigious academy.
Joseph J. Beaman Jr., a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Sharon L. Wood, chair of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, were elected to the academy.
Election to the NAE is among the highest professional distinctions bestowed upon an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature, and to the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
Also elected were two alumni: Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corp., and Gregory Deierlein, the John A. Blume Professor in the Stanford University School of Engineering.
Applications for 2012-2013 Subventions are being accepted until funds run out. The university's subvention grants program provides a maximum award of $5,000. It is designed to assist faculty authors in the publication of scholarly books. Preference will be given to assistant and associate professors. Frequently, university and other scholarly presses demand that authors provide funds to underwrite the publication of scholarly monographs and books. Subvention awards provide financial assistance to faculty members when departments and deans are unable to provide needed support.
Please direct questions to Liza Scarborough, 471-2877.
Funding for another grant program, the Special Research Grants, has been depleted for the academic year.

As with other world-changing technologies, part of the appeal of apps is speed.
"People should try to get to that face-to-face meeting as soon as they can," says psychologist Paul Eastwick, an assistant professor of human development at the University of Texas at Austin. His research found that the wish list of traits when searching online for a romantic partner doesn't matter as much as you might think.
Once you've met in person, you stop using your wish list to evaluate the person, he says, citing a 2011 study he co-authored that was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
"When you meet somebody you have a gut reaction to that person and that drives whether we pursue somebody romantically or not. Chemistry -- you can assess that in four minutes. That is the thing driving your responses," Eastwick says.

The objective of this effort is to perform data collection and analysis to improve the understanding of customer behavior, and its representation in distributed PV market penetration models. Accurately representing customer behavior in market penetration models is one of the challenges in modeling the distributed PV market. Existing models have very crude representations of customer behavior that are based on limited data sources. The project will focus on developing the data and methodologies to improve the representation of customer behavior in distributed PV models. The work will build on previous work which indicates that potential customers evaluate and respond to PV investment risk and returns in complex ways that are not well represented in market-penetration models.

Destination Istanbul
At the draw for the Women's World Olympics Qualifying Tournament, which will take place in Ankara in June, FIBA Sports Director Lubomir Kotleba said that Turkey was the Capital of World Basketball. To clinch it, the second big basketball event of 2012, which started with the country's hosting the Women's Euroleague Final Eight in March, is taking place at Sinan Erdem Sports Hall May 11 to 13.
Following six exciting months, the top teams that will slug it out in the Final Four have been decided. The four teams copping tickets to Istanbul are FC Barcelona Regal, who easily ousted Unics Kazan in the play offs, Olympiacos Pireaus, who eliminated Montepaschi Siena in one of the biggest surprises of the season, CSKA Moscow, who suffered only two defeats all season and overcame Gescrap Bilbao, and Panathinaikos Athens, who trounced Maccabi Electra in the fifth match proving what bliss basketball can be.
CSKA Moscow and Panathinaikos Athens, and FC Barcelona Regal and Olympiakos Piraeus face off on the first day of the four-way final, in which even a possible final Greek pairing won't dent the enthusiasm.
Last season's champion, they gave everybody who said they'd never make the Final Four during the playoffs the message that they intended to maintain their title with a fight to the finish in the fifth game. This club, which spent some time this year figuring out how to keep the team together during the Greek economic crisis, managed to hold on, rising step by step to the Final Four led by key player Dimitris Diamantidis, whom Maccabi coach David Blatt has said he'd have liked to 'lock in his hotel room before the game'.
FC Barcelona Regal
Not making it to the Final Four at home last season after being champions in 2010, FC Barcelona Regal broke a record to get to Istanbul. In a 10-match winning streak, the team finished the season with 18 victories and only one loss. Scoring machine Juan Carlos Navarro also broke his own record this season to take the title of top scorer in the Euroleague at season's end. With an average of 61.5 baskets per game, the Spanish team come to Istanbul with great hopes of becoming champion again under the leadership of Xavier Pascual.
Olimpiakos Piraeus
Known as 'the wolf', coach Dusan Ivkovic has proven the importance of team play and experience once again by taking his team to the Final Four. Vassilis Spanoulis is far and away the top name among the Reds, who failed to live up to expectations last season with an even stronger team. Getting a much better performance out of Joey Dorsey and Acie Law, who joined the team shortly before the Top 16, Olympiacos Pireaus maintained their advantage by defeating Anadolu Efes in an away game despite taking a beating from CSKA Moscow at home in the Top 16. It will come as no surprise to anybody if the Reds, who seem to produce a new leader.
CSKA Moskoua
Dominating the league all season under the lead of Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA Moscow is a team that has shown everyone how real basketball is played. With the MVP titles they've won, Nenad Krstic and Andrei Kirilenko, who chose staying with CSKA Moscow over returning to the NBA, have proven they are the force behind their team. Always sticking to their game plan and not letting success go to their heads, they gave signs of making the Final Four right from the start.

° Outplaying Unics in a 3-0 series, Barcelona went straight from the playoffs to the four-way final, equalizing a Euroleague record and becoming the best defensive team of the last century.
° Dominating the season, CSKA Moscow suffered their first defeat against Galatasaray MP in Istanbul and their second against Gescrap Bizkaia Bilbao in the playoffs.
° Emerging from their group at the last minute in the Euroleague regular season, Olympiakos Piraeus had a tougher time emerging from their group in the Top 16, where they played better. Then they revved up under coach Ivkovic in the playoffs and copped a ticket to Istanbul.
° Panathinaikos Athens defeated Maccabi with a single basket in the tough five-match playoffs.
Euroleague Basketball President and CEO
Istanbul is a great city. When we look for a Final Four city there are certain things that we need the city to have, aside from the arena of course; we need top quality hotels, we need a large airport and we need a city that is a good place for our fans to spend a weekend and enjoy themselves. In this sense, Istanbul is a perfect fit for us. It as the wonderful Sinan Erdem arena, it has some of the best hospitality a country can offer and it is the home of our title sponsor, Turkish Airlines. Basketball is also very strong in Istanbul, where the city has four very strong three of which have been in Euroelague and who some very passionate fans. All these things make it a good match for brining the Euroleague to this city.

On this series, Clarissa's true identity was revealed on the last episode. She is the first child born to Catherine, and she was born as the result of an adulterous affair. Clarissa will be the source of new danger on this week's episode. She has already killed one of Mary's ladies to prove a point. Will she kill again?
This week's episode will focus in on Francis' younger siblings. Mary will be concerned for their safety, and she will try to keep them safe. This is a revealed in a preview for the episode shared by The CW YouTube page. However, Clarissa will have her own plan. She will kidnap the boys. Boland teased the following:
I know she feels very close to those two little boys, so there's some genuine love and affection here, [but] she's a little bit of a loose cannon.

A laceration is tear or opening in the skin caused by an injury. Lacerations may be small, and need only minor treatment at home, or may be large enough to require emergency medical care.
Stitches, also called sutures, are special types of thread that hold wound edges together while they heal. Stitches help to stop bleeding, reduce scarring, and decrease the chance of infection in the wound.
Steri-Strips® are special adhesive bandages that can sometimes be used on shallow wounds instead of stitches. Steri-Strips® perform the same functions as stitches.
Lacerations that involve the face, are longer than 1/2 inch, are deep, or are bleeding heavily, may require stitches.
Specific treatment for lacerations that require more than minor treatment at home will be determined by your child's physician. In general, call your child's physician for lacerations that are:
Also call your child's physician if:
If your child's physician or an emergency department physician needs to place stitches or use Steri-Strips® to close a laceration, you will be given specific instructions for how to care for your child's stitches. Treatment at home will be based on the location and size of the laceration, type of stitches used, and any special needs noted by your child's physician. Antibiotics may be given to help prevent infection in the wound.
Some stitches dissolve and do not need to be removed while others stitches require removal. Your child's physician or the emergency department physician will let you know when to return to have stitches removed. Do not try to remove your child's stitches yourself.
Some general guidelines for caring for lacerations with stitches or Steri-Strips® include the following:

Recently, when I was working through one of life's unavoidable problems, a friend offered me encouragement by saying, "I know this must be a difficult time for you." Here was my response. "Thank you for your support and for being a friend. But let me share my perspective with you. No passing problem or sorrow can be as bad as the difficulty I live with every single day, namely, that thousands of my brothers and sisters are being slaughtered in their mothers' womb by abortion. The world by and large is oblivious to it, the law protects the violence rather than the babies, and we're afraid to do what it takes to stop it. That's what makes for difficult times. There's a strange but real consolation in looking evil in the face and fighting it."

Why is the map $f(z)={z-c\over z-\overline{c}}$ for any $c\in$ {the upper half plane} $\subset C$ necessarily an isometry from the the upper half plane to the disc models of the hyperbolic plane? I know that the Cayley-transform is an isometry, but for an arbitrary $c$? I am not sure that it even maps the entire $H$ to the entire $D$...

The given map $f$ is a Moebius transformation; therefore it maps circles (:=circles or lines) onto circles. When $z\in{\mathbb R}$ then $|z-c|=| z-\bar c|$, so $|f(z)|=1$. Together with $c\in H$ this shows that $f$ maps the upper half plane $H$ conformally onto the unit disk $D$ in the $w$-plane.
The hyperbolic metric in $H:=\{z=x+iy\ |\ y > 0\}$ is defined by $$ds ={1\over y}\,|dz|\ ,$$ whereas the hyperbolic metric in $D=\{w\in{\mathbb C}\ |\ |w|<1\}$ is defined by $$d\sigma ={\rho\over 1-|w|^2}\,|dw|$$ with a constant $\rho>0$ depending on the author. We now have to check whether $f^*(d\sigma)=ds$ for a suitable choice of $\rho$. Let $c=a+ib$ with $b>0$. Then $$f'(z)={c-\bar c \over (z-\bar c)^2}\ ;$$ therefore $${|dw|\over 1-|w|^2}={|f'(z)|\ |dz|\over1-|f(z)|^2}={|c-\bar c|\over |z- \bar c|^2-|z-c|^2} ={2 b\over 4 b y}|dz|={1\over 2y}\ |dz|\ .$$ This shows that $f$ is a hyperbolic isometry iff we put $\rho=2$ in the definition of the hyperbolic metric in $D$.

Avago Technologies (NASDAQ:AVGO) is on a tear in 2014, having gained close to 43% so far. The chip maker's business is being driven by smartphone giants Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (NASDAQOTH:SSNLF), to whom it supplies radio frequency chips. In fact, according to UBS Investment Research, Apple and Samsung are expected to account for 60%-65% of Avago's revenue this year.
Samsung's latest flagship smartphone is selling at a robust pace, and there is positive chatter around Apple's iPhone refresh. As such, Avago's prospects look strong. Moreover, growth in the Chinese LTE handset market adds to the company's smartphone opportunity. In short, Avago's performance should continue improving due to two simple reasons -- Apple and Samsung.
Apple's "big" move
Avago is expected to derive a big chunk of its revenue from the two smartphone titans. In the previous fiscal year, it generated around 20% of its revenue from Apple contractor Foxconn. Avago is a key Apple supplier, as its RF chips can be found in both the iPhone and the iPad. The last two iPhone generations have Avago chips in them, and it reportedly gained dollar content in the iPhone 5s.
The company looks set to land the lucrative Apple spot in the rumored iPhone 6 as well. On the previous conference call, Avago CEO Hock Tan said that the company expects "the beginning of a ramp from our North American smartphone customer as they transition to their next-generation platform."
Without much doubt, it can be concluded that Avago is talking about Apple, which is expected to bring out a revolutionary smartphone this time. As reported on AppleInsider, Apple is expected to launch the next iPhone in late-September, so it must have started the production ramp by now. Cupertino is expected to upgrade the iPhone's screen to 4.7 inches this time. Additionally, a 5.5-inch phablet also seems to be in the cards.
Considering how accurate Apple supply chain rumors have become over the past couple of years, it won't be surprising if Apple actually launches the two devices in flesh. If it does so, Avago's addressable market should receive a bump as a bigger iPhone will allow it to tap the phablet market. Last year, 20 million phablets were shipped, and 120 million of them are expected to be shipped in 2018.
Samsung has been the leader in phablets so far, and Apple will try to challenge its dominance with a bigger device of its own.
Samsung on a roll
On the other hand, Samsung itself is delivering solid smartphone growth. Sales of the Galaxy S5 were better than its predecessor in the first month by 10%. The device has helped Samsung capture the No. 1 spot in the U.S. smartphone market. Avago had supplied three chips for the Galaxy S5, including power amplifier modules and FBAR filters.
Additionally, Samsung is the leading smartphone seller in China, where LTE phones are gaining momentum. According to Goldman Sachs, 142 million LTE smartphones are expected to be sold in China this year, followed by 235 million units next year. Avago management is counting on this opportunity to power up its smartphone sales. It supplies chips to the leading smartphone player in China, Samsung, and this will allow it to make the most of this market.
Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Core Mini 4G, exclusively for China Mobile. This is an entry-level handset that's expected to spur adoption of LTE in the Middle Kingdom. However, on a closer look, it becomes clear that Samsung has crammed it with decent specs such as 1.5GB of RAM, Android 4.4 out of the box, and the ability to record 720p videos.
Samsung is following the right strategy with this device, as low-cost phones with higher-end specs are in solid demand in China. As such, Avago can ride its coattails to tap the Chinese LTE market.
The bottom line
Avago is slated to benefit from three major catalysts in the smartphone market -- Apple, Samsung, and China. Additionally, the company also pays a dividend yielding 1.60%. As such, Avago looks like an enticing pick for the long run.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

For the first time since actress KC Concepcion admitted in an interview with Boy Abunda the end of their relationship, Piolo speaks about the high-profile break-up to address the controversies raised against him. Here's the transcript of my exclusive interview with him:
PS: Just for laughs!
MM: Magandang araw, Piolo. Salamat for coming.
PP: My pleasure. Alam mo, nahihirapan na akong magtimpi sa mga intrigang lumalabas, especially on the personal aspects of my life.
MM: Were you able to watch that The Buzz interview with KC?
PP: Actually, no. I was in Japan then. I watched in via YouTube instead.
MM: What was your reaction?
PP: KC was obviously hurt by our split. Hindi naman biro ang pinagdaanan naming dalawa.
MM: Have you spoken to her since the interview?
PP: I tried calling, but I can't reach her. I hear this ringback tune instead: "Stop calling, stop calling. I don't want to talk anymore."
MM: Piolo, sabi ni KC, and I quote, "May mga hinahanap ako na napaka-basic lang na hanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend, sa isang lalaki. Ayaw ko na pumunta sa details kasi ayaw kong siraan siya." Your reaction?
PP: Nice teaser, KC. Ano ba ang basic na hinahanap ng isang babae sa kanyang boyfriend? Ako kasi, abs.
MM: What?!
PP: I mean, karamihan ng babae, naghahanap ng lalaking may abs.
MM: Thanks for clarifying that. Pero 'di ba may abs ka naman?
PP: Yes! Kaya I really don't know what else she's looking for.
MM: Piolo, sabi pa ni KC, "May mga bagay na parang hindi ko na kayang lunukin. Hindi ko na kayang tanggapin."
PP: Ano'ng hindi na niya kayang lunukn? We haven't done that!
MM: Ha?!

Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Shampoo features Vitamins A and E to give tight curls the right amount of moisture to restore internal weight, without any of the greasiness found in most moisturizing products. All curls constantly lose moisture due to their unique anatomy, and the tighter the curl, the more prone the curl to dehydration. Tight curls need constant rehydration to maintain the internal moisture balance crucial for curl formation and definition, but without adding surface weight that can suppress the curl.
Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Shampoo infuses dehydrated curls with intense nourishment. Breathable botanicals and healing natural oils deliver the ideal amount of moisture to restore internal weight to tight curls. Moisture is replenished without any greasiness or heavy build-up. A restorative blend of chamomile, corn oil, vitamins and wheat amino acids leaves hair shiny and manageable.

SpongeBob SquarePants has been around for a long time now and it's one of the most popular animated shows on TV. Typically, SpongeBob and his pals are 2D animated, but that will change when the second big screen movie based on the yellow sponge hits theaters in February 2015.
The film is called The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: Sponge Out of Water and it has a release date for February 6, 2015. The movie will see the cartoon drawn in typical 2D flat form. The characters in the film will also get a CGI makeover for parts of the movie that see them coming to dry land. It appears from the trailer that Antonio Banderas is Patchy the Pirate.

Tonight on the show fans will see it all go down. In the pictures, Christine talks about how life pretty much stops when you have a sick child. She shares pictures of Truely watching "Sofia the First" from her hospital bed and also playing on what appears to be an iPhone. She shared that her daughter really just wanted to go home and play with her own toys. It had to be a hard time for all of them.
Obviously Truely is home now or viewers would have heard about her not doing well. Hopefully tonight they will actually show what happened to her and how her recovery is going now. It will be a very emotional show to watch.
Don't miss "Sister Wives" tonight on TLC. Please like my Facebook to stay up to date on the latest in entertainment news.

Loveland Ski Area will open the season for skiing and riding on October 17, 2013. Loveland will open with one chairlift and three runs: Catwalk, Mambo and Home Run. Loveland will become the second resort open in Colorado and the U.S.
Arapahoe Basin (A-Basin) won the great snowmaking arms race and became the first resort to open on October 13, 2013. Mother Nature has helped significantly by providing natural snow for both resorts and favorable temperatures for making snow. A-Basin opened with a base of 18 inches and is working hard to expand its open terrain.
It may be Fall where you are, but the 2013-2014 ski season is underway. Are you ready?

1/31/2012—The third-generation Lexus LX 570 will see a notable update this year with the introduction of the 2013 model.
Its restyled front-end features the new spindle grille, one of the key elements of the updated L-finesse design language, as well as LED daytime running lights that complement the headlamp design:
Other exterior changes include wider bodyside moldings; new taillamps; updates to the front and rear bumpers; and a stainless steel accent on the rear bumper protector:
The 2013 LX 570 will also be sporting a new set of 20-inch alloy wheels:
The interior also received a refresh, and the vehicle now includes the new Lexus Enform apps[1][2][3]:
The instrument panel has been redesigned, and it includes a new multi-information color display:
A noteworthy feature, says Paul Williamsen, National Manager of the Lexus College, is the Multi-terrain System, which allows the driver to "optimize performance" by selecting from five terrain types.
Williamsen also points out that there's a new Turn Assist feature: "This is for when you're turning at low speed, such as in a campground. The system adds more brake force to the inside rear wheel, so it tightens the turning radius of the vehicle."
The 2013 LX 570 arrives in dealerships in early February.

On July 1, 2014 an important federal law takes effect. It will require foreign banks and financial institutions to report all accounts held by American citizens to the IRS. It is going to get harder for Americans to hide money and dodge taxes. It is also going to make offshore banks consider the options, do we want to become ensnarled in the United States arcane tax system and report our transactions to the IRS? Or would we rather stay clear. Staying clear would mean these banks might just opt to not let Americans have accounts with them any longer. This is going to make it difficult for many American citizens to conduct business overseas. This is going to be another step toward replacing the dollar as the global reserve currency. When that happens our economy could take a beating. Just look at what happened in Great Briton after WWII when British Sterling was replaced by the US dollar after being the global reserve currency for about 200 years.
The US will not be able to just print more money to keep our economy going because foreign investors will no longer be attracted to buying our bonds. We won't be able to keep spending more than we make. Government spending will be cut, many programs will cease, most of us are going to loose money and our lifestyle is going to take a hit.
Some gloom and doom pundits are already predicting the collapse of our economy. Of course these guys want you to buy their reports detailing hot you can save yourself. I guess you could buy gold or trade some of your dollars for Chinese yuan? Or invest in foreign companies, or buy land. It gives you something to think about. What is sad to me is why so many Americans feel the need to hide money in foreign accounts to escape the IRS in the first place. Perhaps instead of forcing offshore banks to report to the IRS we should be overhauling our tax system so Americans don't need to hide assets overseas in the first place.

What an utter disgrace to the memory of President Harry Truman! 😡
TOKYO – A grandson of ex-U.S. President Harry Truman, who ordered the atomic bombings of Japan during World War II, is in Hiroshima to attend a memorial service for the victims.
Clifton Truman Daniel visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on Saturday and laid a wreath for the 140,000 people killed by the Aug. 6, 1945, bombing authorized by his grandfather. Another atomic blast in Nagasaki three days later killed 70,000 more.
"I think this cenotaph says it all — to honor the dead to not forget and to make sure that we never let this happen again," Daniel said after offering a silent prayer.
via Truman grandson visits Hiroshima A-bomb memorial | Fox News.
Here's the part that really sent me into a rage:
Daniel, a former journalist, met Sadako's 71-year-old brother, Masahiro Sasaki, who survived the bombing, at a peace event in New York in 2010. They agreed to work together to deepen understanding between the two countries, which are still divided over the question of the legitimacy of the atomic attacks.
"There are other opinions, there are other points of view, and I don't think we ever finish talking about that," Daniel said after visiting a museum at the memorial. "The important thing is to keep talking, to talk about all of it."
Daniel said in a statement that he decided to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki because he needed to know the consequences of his grandfather's decision as part of his own efforts to help achieve a nuclear-free world. He said he hoped to hear stories from survivors about how they overcame their adversity.
Daniel also is to meet with the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and participate in discussions with students.
Susumu Miura, a 78-year-old Hiroshima native, wrote in the newspaper Tokyo Shimbun that he was enraged when he learned that many Americans still support the decision to drop the atomic bombs.
"But when I heard on the news that former President Truman's grandson is visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I felt as if I lost some weight from my chest," Miura wrote in an op-ed article.
Here is a clue for Mr. Truman and to Mr. Miura —- The imperial Military of Japan attacked us first, on what was known then, as the Republic of Hawaii. Not only were there military officers killed in that attack, there were innocent civilians on that Island killed too. Not only that, but the Japanese Military would not surrender, they kept fighting and would do so to the death. Because of this, President Truman decided to drop the bombs on Japan.
Now before some idiot tries to lecture me —-I know —- there were actions taken by the United States Government covertly to stop Japan from spreading aggression to the other eastern Countries. However, the fact remains that the empire of Japan attacked the United States Military base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 without warning, without consideration of civilian life or any other life for that matter. It was an act of cowardice and was answered by the righteous might of the United States Military.
For this liberal buffoon, Clifton Truman Daniel, to go to the land of our aggressor and basically tell them that we were wrong for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan is akin to urinating on the graves of our World War II dead. It is Anti-American, it is morally wrong and Clifton Truman Daniel should be forcefully deported out this Country for such an act! If we lived in a sane world and not one dominated by liberalism, but one of sane patriotism —- this liberal buffoon would be tried for treason!
As someone who has had multiple family members; including one who fought in Germany during World War II and earned a Silver Star and a Purple Heart for his service and bravery during the war, serve in the Military —— I find this action by this leftist jackass to be offensive and utterly insulting to the memory of ALL of those, who served in the United States Military. Furthermore, this is nothing more than a stab in the back and spitting in the face, to the fine people answered the call of the President of United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to fight for their Country against the evil axis of power that was threatening our Country at that time.
Clifton Truman Daniel owes the United States Military, its officers —- both current and former and their families an apology this most grievous insult.

The QOTD comes from Rocky Frisco on facebook and you can read his Bio right here:
Just got insulted by a fool named Anna, who claims that the Holocaust never happened. She demanded that I show video proof that exactly 6 million Jews were killed by Uncle Adolf. My dad had a friend named Paul who used to go hunting with us. One night while visiting him and his family, Paul got out a cigar box and brought it down to the table where we were sitting. He handled it like it was full of bombs. He told my dad what was in it and asked if I should leave before he opened it. I was about ten years old, maybe 11. Dad said he didn't want me protected from knowing the truth, so Paul opened the box. He had been a photographer for the US Army when he got separated from his outfit. He jumped a freight train to escape from a patrol of German soldiers and couldn't get off the train, since it speeded up and headed down the track. He ended up stranded in Berlin, just days before Germany started to fold. He photographed the trains that went by the warehouse where he was holed up. They were hauling murdered Jews to a rendering plant where their bodies were being used to make soap. He took hundreds of pictures of the coal-hoppers full of emaciated naked bodies that went past his hiding place. That was what was in the cigar box. Those pictures. I saw those photos, I saw his shaking hands and the tears that were trying to leak from his eyes. Paul was the toughest person I ever met, so I was terribly moved by that experience and never forgot. The most disgusting aspect of the experience today was that this "Anna" has a Ron Paul button as her Facebook profile picture. BLOCKED!

If Republicans and Democrats like the ones over at Media Matters would could consider this book here to be racist or Anti-Semitic? After all, it was written by a Republican President.
It is to wonder…

About Betsy Bolan
Betsy Bolan (48) dreamed of being a cop her entire life and at age 47 finally turned that dream into a reality. Her friends and family still cannot believe this mother of four is an officer of the law. Even though she is nicknamed "Officer Friendly," Betsy isn't naïve and knows that "nice people can be snakes." She feels her skills as a cop will help her stand up to the possible jerks and alpha-males she could run into during Survivor. Betsy is happily married with two boys and two girls ranging in age from 8 to 16, but her world almost came apart when her husband was diagnosed with stage-four prostate cancer. Now with his cancer in remission, "all is good" on the home front, but Betsy says the money would mean a lot to her family since her husband does not have health insurance. After going through a wild time in her youth, this former hippie has now been clean and sober for 21 years. Betsy's overcome a number of obstacles in her life and is ready to tackle the next one, especially, now that she has become the person "she's always dreamed of being."
Currently, Betsy resides in Campton, N.H. Her birth date is March 20. Betsy was the third eliminated on Survivor Samoa.
