TC TO RALPH WALDO EMERSON ; 28 August 1856; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18560828-TC-RWE-01; CL 31: 197-199
The Gill, Cummertrees, Annan N.B. 28 Augt, 1856—
Dear Emerson,
Your Letter1 alighted here yesterday, like a winged Mercury, bringing "airs from Heaven"2 (in a sense) along with his news. I understand very well your indisposition to write; we must conform to it, as to the Law of Chronos3 (oldest of the gods); but I will murmur always, "It is such a pity as of almost no other man!"— You are citizen of a "Republic," and perhaps fancy yourself republican in an eminent degree: nevertheless I have remarked there is no man of whom I am so certain always to get something Kingly—and whenever your huge inarticulate America gets settled into Kingdoms, of the New Model, fit for these Ages which are all upon the Moult just now, and dreadfully like going to the Devil in the interim,—then will America, and all nations thro' her, owe the man Emerson a debt, far greater than either they or he are in the least aware of at present! That, I consider (for myself) to be an ascertained fact. For which I myself at least am thankful and have long been.
It pleases me much to know that this English, so long twinkling in our expectations and always drawn back again, is at last visibly to appear:4 I wish I could get hold of my Copy; there is no Book that would suit me better just now. But we must wait for four weeks till we get back to Chelsea,—unless I can find some trusty hand to extract it from the rubbish that will have accumulated there, and forward it by post. You speak as if there were something dreadful said of my own sacred self in that Book:5 Courage, my friend, it will be a most miraculous occurrence to meet with any said by you that does me ill; whether the immediate task of it be sweet or bitter, I will take it with gratitude, you may depend,—nay even with pleasure, what perhaps is still more incredible. But an old man, deluged for half a century with the brutally nonsensical vocables of his fellow-creatures (which he grows to regard soon as rain, "rain of frogs"6 or the like, and lifts his umbrella agt with indifference,—such an old gentn, I assure you, is grateful for a word that he can recognise perennial sense in; as in this case is his sure hope. And so be the little Book thrice welcome; and let all England understand (as some choice portion of England will) that there has not been a man talking about us these very many years whose words are worth the least attention in comparison.
"Post passing!" I must end, in mid course; so much still untouched upon. Thanks for Sampson & Co, and let them go their course upon me.7 If I can see Mrs Ward "about the end of Septr"8 or after, I shall be right glad:—but I fear she will have fled before that?—
I am here in my native Country, riding, sea-bathing, living on country diet,—uttering no word,—now into the 5th week; have had such a "Retreat" as no La Trappe hardly could have offered me. A "Retreat" witht Cilices, thistle-matrasses; and with silent devotions (if any) instead of blockhead spoken ones to the Virgin and others!—There is still an Excursion to the Highlands ahead, whh cannot be avoided;—then home again to peine forte et dure [hard and severe punishment].—9 Good be with you always, dear friend.
T. Carlyle

scallion meatballs with soy-ginger glaze
It's a fairly accurate indication of how charmed my life is these days that I considered the act of having to choose what I would make to bring to a New Years Party tomorrow difficult. If makes you wonder what I'd consider easy — which spa gift certificate I should use first to get a manicure before the party? Whether I should wear the earrings from this year's or last year's little blue box to the party? Which jet to take there? It's all in a day of the glamorous life of a food blogger. Ahem.

M9: With a SF58 Flash

M9: With a SF58 Flash
Quite honestly I am struggling with the SF58 Flash attached to my M9. For example, I have the shutter set on flash and the flash unit set on TTL and the pics I started taking last night were incredibly washed out...way, way overexposed. I then tried bouncing the flash...very high ceilings....way, way underexposed.
What setting should I be using on the Flash and the M9?
I also own some Nikon SB units and they seem to work flawlessly with my Nikon dSLRs...just got to TTL and the exposures are right on!
The SF 58 manual is of no help to me. Can someone point me to a basic reference to learn how to tame the beast.
Thank you in advance.

Flats for the Weekend
Manolo says, finally, the weekend is here! And what better way to express your independence from the working day than by wearing these cute and flirty ankle-strap, patent leather flats from the Belle by Sigerson Morrison.
Manolo says, finally, the weekend is here! And what better way to express your independence from the working day than by wearing these cute and flirty ankle-strap, patent leather flats from the Belle by Sigerson Morrison.
Surely the Manolo jests! These are not merely "flirty", these are the dead sexy little shoes for driving the potential beau out of his mind!
Sorry…they look very cute in theory but the combination of the flat and the ankle strap is going to give any woman who isn't a 6ft model tree trunks for legs.
I'm of the opinion that both the tall girls and the short girls have the super-fabulous legs!
Those look sweaty to me. I know it's purely psychological, because that photo was taken to highlight the shininess of the patent and so my mind interprets it as plastic. But still.
The ankle strap looks like something my mother's toy poodle would wear. Very disconcerting.
Am I crazy for seeing something vaguely bondage-like about these shoes? It's like…bondage grannie…not digging it =X
hi hi!
i've just added you to my blogroll so can you link me please?
thanks! i love you!!!
I have the curse of the cankles so no matter how I adore shoes like these, I cannot wear them :(
Blythe, rest assured that no matter how problematic your cankles are, mine are worse, and my feet are too short and stubby for my legs as well. :( I wear flats only out of desperation (if I'm going to be walking long distances), and even then I try to wear ankle-length skirts or long pants (which totally don't go with flats). I kvetch and curse every night as my husband rubs my cramped, sore feet, but for the sake of everyone else's eyes, I'm not giving up my pointy-toed high heels any time soon.
God those are cute! They look like Minnie Mouse shoes. Sadly, with my dead-flat feet, I can't wear flats of any kind without looking like I have Pig feet.
ShannonShoe and Hmm are both right! I've never understood Manolo's like of the ankle strap, which poses the same aesthetic-existential questions as a choker. That is, the choker/ankle strap clearly breaks the line that the eye wants to see, so from whence comes the appeal that's not a formal visual one? The appeal of the choker, whether ribbon or diamonds, comes from signaling. Why does this appeal extend to the foot?
I see these and I think of 'Heidi', could a dirndl be far away?

The significance of PARA exists in the very name itself, PARA in
Telugu is
colloquial term for a spade (or shovel) which is most commonly used by the rural
peasants depending on Agriculture. Our work is mainly aimed for the
causes of Dalits, Coolies (Agricultural Labourers) and the marginalised poor,
who constitute a major chunk of the population of the area since 1986.
Our Objectives :
The vision of
PARA, as enunciated in the project proposal, is to work for the unification of
all the unorganized, marginalized and powerless communities under the banner of
'dalit power'. PARA also works to instill a 'dalit consciousness' among these
people and to revive and develop a dalit culture to give a separate identity and
dignity to these people.
The thrust of PARA is to work in a geopolitical area and issue
based approach emphasizing on social, cultural, educational, economical and
political aspects. Its role is more of facilitating the target people to become
masters of their own development.
Dear viewers,
It is a privilege for me to present to you the new website of People's Action
For Rural Awakening. It is a privilege because it is the result of the trust we
have placed in our students who said that they would take on the task of
developing this website as a tribute to the inspiration they have derived
from this organisation. Everyone in the organisation believed that
Chandu and Arun would live up the trust we placed in them. And they have not
disappointed us.
We will keep you informed of the activities that keep us busy in our effort to
work for a more just, equitable, non-discriminative and forward looking society.
Our work will focus on making development inclusive, development that places the
marginalised at the centre of its efforts.
We invite your suggestions, support and encouragement.
Together we can live the Hope "Another World Is Possible"
Fr.Thomas Pallithanam, SDB
Back Forward

This is a photo book for my mother, who has dementia. She always attended a Methodist Church, so I have included pictures of her and her church, other members of the family, as well as pictures of me, visiting Buddhist temples in India. My Mum took Methodism seriously and was a pacifist, so she became a nurse in WW2. High-points of her life are chronicled: her left-wing views and her commitment to 'Ban the Bomb' activities! I show how her family follow in her footsteps. This is an attempt to celebrate my Mum's life and also an attempt to get away from the rather sugary, bland picture books for those with memory problems.

Flute World
America's #1 flute specialty house since 1983.
Two Holland Tales is a piece that combines lyrical and upbeat sections. There Were Two Royal Children is the opening lyrical movement which displays the talents of most of the parts. Balance is key for this part of the piece, as the melody is moved around the different sections and it is important that it is always heard over the colourful backgrounds.
The piece then moves into I Once stood On the Netherland's Hills. This movement is meant to be fun and played with a light bounce. In the second half of this section, a third Dutch folksong, Three Nasty Drummers, is used as a counter-medley by the fourth part and is meant to add some new, interesting material to the piece as it comes to its closing.
Part 1- Flute, Oboe, Clarinet...Part 2-Flute, Oboe, Clarinet...Part 3-Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, F Horn...Part 4-Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone...Part 5-Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Baritone Saxophone, Optional Percussion.

We all love tips to make our life just a little bit more manageable. As your Dallas Household Tips Examiner I search for tips for myself and pass them along to my readers.
In my article Family and health tip: Homemade shapeable ice pack and heat pack I told you an easy way to make your own ice and heat packs now here are some more tricks for those same simple and fun to make packs.
You can easily add some color to your ice or heat pack if you don't want to make little pocket cases for them.Just add about a half of a cup to three-fourths of a cup of regular blue Dawn dish soap in a heavy duty baggie and freeze! You can also use your vacuum sealer, these are also great for coolers; they will keep your contents cool all day.
Corn syrup works great too, for a filler to freeze. Just add it straight into baggie, no need to even add water, and you can even add food coloring for different colors!
If you find your Ziploc baggie leaks, try double bagging your pack.
Check out RealSimple.com for other great ideas.

Red Raiders Battle but Fall in Four
Amanda Dowdy led Tech with 21 kills Saturday afternoon.
Nov. 19, 2011
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Kansas State used a balanced attack to defeat Texas Tech, 3-1 (22-25, 18-25, 25-23, 21-25), in Big 12 volleyball at Ahearn Field House in front of 1,145 fans to move to 19-10, 8-7 on the season, while the Red Raiders fall to 15-15, 1-13.
In what was billed as a matchup of two of the Big 12's most powerful right arms, Kaitlynn Pelger and Amanda Dowdy, the two combined for 35 blasts, 14 and 21, respectively, it was the play of Lilla Porubek (12 kills), Alex Muff (10 kills) and Courtney Traxson (13 kills) that made much of the difference for the Wildcats in the early going. The foursome kept the Red Raiders off balance and out of system for small runs in each set except the third and forced Tech to play from behind for much of the match. The Red Raiders couldn't manage its usual effective block early as K-State's setter, Caitlyn Donahue, spread the ball effectively to the four and finished with 46 assists.
The match was markedly more competitive in the third and fourth sets as points were hotly contested, sideouts were plentiful and rallies were dizzying.
Dowdy, who surpassed the 400-kills-per-season mark earlier this week (only the second Red Raider in history to post two consecutive such seasons), scooped up 10 digs along the back row as well to collect her 22nd double double of the season. However, it was the career afternoon for Brandy Huskey that highlighted the defense as she led Tech with 19 digs and posted a pair of service aces in a strong overall performance by the sophomore.
Karlyn Meyers dished 41 assists as Miara Cave and Breeann David each added nine kills. The offensive-minded Meyers also threw down seven kills (no errors) and had two block assists. Tory Vaughan finished with 15 digs.
Production from the middle for Texas Tech came from Aubrey Piper and Mikia Mills as the pair finished with seven. Dravon Rangel come on in the third set and added a kill.
The team will be on the road at No. 25 Oklahoma on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

Brad's Blog – On the Eve of the Villa Season, a Look Back at Preparations 0
It's hard to believe that the World Cup has come and gone and another preseason is in the books. The English Premier League is about to start this weekend and the buzz around the country is crazy! Preseason is always filled with a lot of games and a hectic travel schedule.
I was able to meet up with Villa during the second leg of the US tour in Houston, and it was great to see the guys. The training was intense and you could see the team coming together with each session.
We then traveled back to the UK for a few days, played a game and then we were back on the plane headed to Holland for another match. Being able to see the Villa fans around the world is a great experience for all of us and more importantly it allows us to test ourselves against other top European teams. We finished our preseason with a tough game against Parma from Serie A in Italy and the excitement around Villa Park could be felt by everyone.
Training has been very good all week and the tactics behind how we want to play have been discussed. All the guys know that it's all business from here on out, and that it's going to be a tough start with Stoke City away.
We know it's a long season, but at the same time we want to get off to a winning start and give us that little bit of confidence that winning brings to a team. We are excited about the year and definitely feel we are a stronger team than last year. We know that on any given day we can compete and beat the best teams in the league and that is what we will be trying to do week in and week out!
Up the Villa!!!

Record number of Africans risked lives to travel to Yemen in 2012Listen /
• A record number of African refugees and migrants risked their lives crossing the sea to Yemen in 2012, according to the UN refugee agency (UNHCR). It reports that 107,500 Africans made the dangerous trip. UNHCR says 80 per cent of the people who arrived in Yemen were Ethiopians and the rest were Somalis.
UN agencies step in to help conflict-affected Mali
• As the humanitarian situation in Mali deteriorates, United Nations agencies continue to step up efforts to respond to the needs of refugees and displaced persons. Fighting broke out in January 2012 when radical Islamists occupied northern Mali. The area is the home of the nomadic Tuareg, who have battled the Government over land and cultural rights.
Parties in Central African Republic agree to end conflict
• Representatives of various parties from the Central African Republic signed three agreements in Libreville, Gabon, to resolve the crisis in their country. The accords were signed at the end of talks in the Gabonese capital. The current crisis began in December last year when the Séléka coalition of armed groups occupied several towns and cities in CAR.

The Dirtiest Hotel in America is the Hotel Carter, a 600-room hotel in one of the best locations in New York City. This hotel sits right off Times Square and it's claim to fame is that it is "filthy" and "vile," which earned it the "dirtiest" title, according to CNBC News on June 5.
The Hotel Carter is a three-time winner of Tripadvisor's dirtiest hotel in America's survey and it sits on West 43rd Street, which is some of NYC's most prime real estate. The hotel sale is being handled by Lawrence Wolfe, who realizes the hotel has lived through years of neglect.
According to NBC News, Wolfe is expecting the winning bid for the hotel to come in at about $180 million. It will need another $100 million to $125 million in renovations to bring it back to life. The hotel was "under-managed and neglected," said Wolfe, but it is a prime spot for a hotel, so fixing it up to bring it back to its splendor could make it a gold mine.
The Tripadvisor's annual dirty list stopped in 2012, but recent guests in the hotel say it hasn't changed. Comments of "unsafe, nasty and falling down" and "absolutely vile" seem to echo the majority of complaints.
It's a cheap hotel for New York City's Time Square area, rooms are just $200 a night. One comment read "Amazing location and exceptionally affordable price tag."
The Hotel Carter was in its glory when it opened as the Hotel Dixie in 1930. The Carter has been a hostage of paperwork as its former owner's estate is settled. This hotel has made the news in recent years for the many code violations and a homicide that occurred there.
While it may be old, somewhat dilapidated and "vile," there is plenty of interest in owning the old Carter. 25 bids to buy the hotel have been submitted. They are "near to selection" of picking the buyer. An adult entertainment club is on the street level of the hotel. They pay $1 million in rent each year and they are staying.
Once the hotel is purchased, it will either close completely for renovations or stay open and do the renovations in stages. Soon, the Hotel Carter will have a new owner and hopefully be restored to yesteryear's glory!

May 31, 2002
MESA, Ariz.- The Houston Cougars notched three first-inning runs with two outs and cruised to a 9-0 win in the first game of the Arizona State NCAA Baseball Regional at Hohokam Stadium Friday.
Houston starter Brad Sullivan, who was the 2002 Conference USA Pitcher of the Year and today named a Collegiate Baseball first-team All-American, shut down New Mexico State (37-24) by scattering six hits over nine innings in a game-time temperature of 106 degrees.
The Cougars (45-15) came out of the gates hot with three, two-out runs on four hits in the first frame. First baseman Brett Cooley brought home the first two runs with a two-run home run over the right field wall for his 18th round-tripper of the year. A walk and two singles, followed by a RBI single to the left field gap by second baseman Stuart Musslewhite capped the three-run inning.
Houston added to its lead with three more runs in the home half of the third to extend the lead to 6-0. Shortstop Jesse Crain plated all three runs with his 11th home run of the year. UH threatened to add more, but left the bases loaded to end the inning.
After being held scoreless from the fourth until sixth inning, the Cougars tabbed their third three-run inning in the seventh led by Sam Mitchell's two-run double.
Jason Williams (8-2) took the loss for New Mexico State, which advanced to the NCAA Tournament by winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. The NCAA appearance is the first for the Aggies.
Houston will play the winner of tonight's 6 p.m. Arizona time/9 p.m. ET game between San Diego and Arizona State at 2 p.m. Saturday while NMSU will take on the loser at 10 a.m. in an elimination game.

Natalie Portman is having a blonde moment!
Attending a dinner for choreographer husband Benjamin Millepied's L.A. Dance Project, the Oscar winner debuted her lighter locks (which managed to outshine her white Dior gown) at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
She rarely makes drastic hair changes, but she's not the only one who's recently ditched her brunette roots: Perhaps she's taking a style cue from, say, Miley Cyrus?
Portman actually had L.A. colorist Tracey Cunningham switch up her 'do for a role.
"My mom says I'm like a different person," the Black Swan star, mom to 1-year-old Aleph, tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I did it just a couple of days ago."
"Natalie makes a beautiful blonde!" Cunningham says of the switch-up, which she achieved with Redken's Blonde Dimensions. "She needed to make the change for an upcoming movie role, so we we achieved a gorgeous, multi-dimensional golden honey blonde"
Tell us: Do you prefer Portman as a blonde?

April 2 is observed as World Autism Awareness Day. Light It Up Blue is a worldwide event that kicks off Autism Awareness Month and helps raise awareness about autism.
Each year, Autism Speaks celebrates Light It Up Blue with the international autism community. World Autism Awareness Day was adopted by the United Nations in 2007 to shine a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis.
From New York City's Empire State Building to schools, hospitals, museums and businesses around the world, blue lights will shine to raise awareness
You can light it up blue by wearing blue, replacing your external lights with blue light bulbs and adding the Light It Up Blue logo to your Facebook page.
Autism now affects one in 68 children, including one in 42 boys. Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the United States.
Boys are nearly five times more likely than girls to have autism. There is no medical detection or cure for autism and autism's average cost to a family is $60,000 per year.
Some of the unusual behaviors a child with autism may exhibit include failing to make eye contact, not responding to his name or playing with toys in unusual, repetitive ways.
Research shows that early behavioral intervention improves the outlook for young children with autism, improving learning, social skills and communication.
The intervention engages parents and children, focusing on the core areas affected by autism. These include social skills, language and communication, imitation, play skills, daily living and motor skills.
The following red flags may indicate a child is at risk for an autism spectrum disorder. Parents should ask their child's pediatrician for an evaluation if the child exhibits one or more of these behaviors:
- No big smiles or other warm, joyful expressions by six months or thereafter
- No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles or other facial expressions by nine months
- No babbling by 12 months
- No back-and-forth gestures such as pointing, showing, reaching or waving by 12 months
- No words by 16 months
- No meaningful, two-word phrases (not including imitating or repeating) by 24 months
- Any loss of speech, babbling or social skills at any age
Although living with autism can be challenging, early intervention can help your child thrive. Parents can receive help from family, friends and support groups.
Light It Up Blue on April 2 and throughout the month at your home or office. Know the early signs of autism, support research and shine a light on autism.

Think Like a Man Movie Reviews
Think Like a Man
Release Date: Apr 20, 2012
Genre: Comedy
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Think Like a Man
I wasn't really looking forward to seeing this movie but my boyfriend insisted (as he usually does, since he's the movie buff in the relationship) and I'm glad I went along. It's supposed to be based on the relationship advice book by comedian Steve Harvey but it's really funny and relatable to anyone who's ever been in a relationship. I thought it would be strictly a set of old sexist gender observations (the title is kind of misleading) but in the end it's about how men get as crazed in the head as women about relationships. We just never get to see it on television or in the movies. Hollywood is always telling us that women are always more invested and that men are fine just being as they are: this movie shows that that is not always the case. And thank god for that!
My husband dragged me to see this because of . . . well, the title! He thought it was hilarious. Before we went, though, I did some research and found out that it's based on a best selling self-help book by someone named Steve Harvey who used to have a TV show. It's like how they took that book "He's Just Not That Into You" and turned it into a movie starring Drew Barrymore.
I'll be honest and say that the movie was quite funny and I think it hit the nail right on the head in terms of how men and women behave and how they relate to each other. There are several storylines in the movie and I generally don't like it when they do that but in this movie it works. I especially like the way the men end up feeding on each other's fears and sabotage all the brotherly confidences they have in each other. It's nice for once to see a group of men losing their cool while the women stay calm and collected. A great date movie.
The movie was funny but the only problem that i got was people TALKING AND TELLING THE MOVIE
Best movie I have seen in a long time! I have never laughed so much in any movie.
I really enjoyed this movie, cracked me up!!!!!
I liked this film and i think it is worth seeing in the theaters if you are looking for a good romantic comedy. I found the film to be funny, interesting and very relatable. I was engaged throughout the whole film and that rarely happens when i watch rom-coms. I think it is a well made and well paced film with very talented and likable cast. The cast had great chemistry between them and everybody in the film shined and that is pretty rare. Overall, i was entertained by this film and i think that it will appeal to a large audience.
Movie was hilarious!! I enjoyed it! We all need a little humor in our lives; we see enough drama on the daily news!!! Good job, Steve. Your point is well taken. Hopefully, ladies (and men) got the message. Ladies have more power than they think they do and must learn to set standards for themselves. It's all about expectations and what one is willing to accept!
"Think Like A Man" is a much better movie than I was expecting from a film based on a self-help book written by Steve Harvey. In the book, Harvey spoke to the ladies, telling them how men think so the fairer sex could turn the tables and get what they want. The movie takes the types laid out in the book (the mama's boy, the player, etc.), and pairs them with their female opposite. The movie throws in an interesting twist, where the ladies read the book, and use that to manipulate the guys. The guys find out about this, and then try to turn the tables on the ladies. Of course, this is a romantic comedy made for date night, so when the guys turn the tables, they become extra sensitive. There's nothing edgy here, and there's a little too much selling of the actual book (Harvey appears on a TV show hocking the book, and the movie sometimes feels like an infomercial). But the cast is really really good, and very funny at times. It's a date movie that most guys shouldn't feel embarrassed about seeing.
Well i personally have not seen this film yet, but on the commercials it seems pretty kinda funny. I will be watching it tonight so i hope i enjoy it !
This film was not the best but I thought it was entertaining enough. I suggest renting it when it comes out in DVD because it is not really worth seeing in the theaters. I thought the film was pretty funny and i found it to be relatable and involving. The film is not very original but the actors did their best and the chemistry between them helped this movie a lot. It is definitely a good film to take your date to and even though the storyline is not very original you will find some moments that are unique and funny.

After graduating from London College of Fashion, studying at St Martins and receiving a post-grad degree in History of Fashion in connection to the V&A, Rosane Ribeiro (aka Roxy) learned everything about European, especially English, fashion. Living between Rio and London, Roxy straddles the two worlds as the fashion correspondent for Vogue Brazil, while maintaining a weekly radio program at Jovem Pan, a weekly column for the Fashion Times and writing for many different publications.
What's hot right now?
Brazil is hot right now. From its ways to culture, art and fashion, Brazil is the hot spot to keep an eye on. It is no more a country of the future, but of the present.
What are the most important trends in Brazil right now that people should know about?
Joie de vivre. I believe Brazil's biggest contribution to the world is not only in a fashion trend, but in lifestyle. The happiness, the positive attitude, the charm and glamour is presented all over the arts and culture, and of course reflected in the fashion. Osklen with its chic sportswear, Cecilia Prado's enchanted and intricate tricot's work, Lenny's extremely elaborated bikini pieces, Andrea Degreas and Bossa Nova's beach elegance, Stef's surrealist and beautiful jewelry pieces and Lucas Nascimento with his sophisticated unique tricot work, which caused a lot of frisson on his last catwalk show, helping Brazil to be taken seriously in the international fashion agenda. This is just a few examples to keep an eye out for—a list of favorites would be endless. I highly recommend that everyone watches the documentary on Vik Muniz's work, Waste Land, where the contrast and extremes of Brazilian life is recorded by Lucy Walker, João Jardim and Karen Harley. Vik uses rubbish to create art, and the film portrays the life of the rubbish collectors. Awarded at Berlin Cinema Festival, the film will be at the Oscar's representing Brazil.
What's your fashion staple at the moment?
70′s glamour and lace, lace and more lace. I need a wardrobe that work all over the world, from days on the beach in Corsica to meetings in London or working under the sun, 40C, in Rio. It needs to be easy, fresh, chic and look glam regardless of where I am.

Paid: The Ryan Howard Chronicles
Ryan was the face on the packets of 2007 Topps baseball cards.
He's made numerous appearances on Subway commercials with the company's main man Jared.
He's the coverboy for the new video game MLB 08: The Show.
He's also now making "Practice Pop-Ins" for Dick's Sporting Goods (seen in video below).
What projects are on the horizon? 1. The Biggest Winner- his own reality tv show that is a spin-off of "The Biggest Loser" that focuses on gaining girth in the wallet rather than shedding pounds all around. 2. Howard the Juice- an energy drink specially formulated for him by Vitamin Water (sounds tasty!). 3. Greed- cologne that is strategically marketed in a green $-ed bottle and is rumored to have hints of Howard's perspiration and actual undertones of money. 4. Big Hitter- night club where the dancers rub pine tar on big "bats" and spit on the "balls". 5. King of Swing- a jazz infused rag time album that he produced himself and played all the instruments on, including some killer trombone. 6. Big Daddy's- clothing line described as fashionably urban yet formal wear for husky men. Looks like Ryan is doing alright for himself and is going to be a busy man, a rich busy man. Maybe he should throw his buddy Cole some of these endorsement opportunities seeing as he's "poor" with his contract renewal of only $500k.

The Phillies at one time had what was believed to be a 3 year $27 mil deal on the table for Kyle Lohse...bet he wishes he'd have snatched that up.
From MLBTR-
Kyle Lohse for one year and $4MM doesn't sound too bad, does it? Not to the Phillies, even with Adam Eaton and a couple of Durbins battling it out for the fifth starter job. Phils assistant GM Mike Arbuckle said "I know we're not interested" in Lohse at such a price.
I don't get this. Pretty much every team in the NL should be looking at Lohse if he's really willing to take $4MM. Even non-contenders have to consider the ol' sign and flip with him. Even this year, with teams showing relatively more common sense with free agents, $2-3MM deals have been tossed around on roster filler type players. The standard rate for a sixth-inning middle reliever is three mil now. The only explanation I can think of is that the reports are wrong, and Lohse is still trying to get $6-8MM.
*If he only wants 1 year around 4-6 mil, he needs to be signed pronto! F' Adam Eaton and F' Wes Helms.

Francisco Rosario, who is out of options and vying for one of the open spots in the bullpen pitched very well in 3.1 innings yesterday.
Kendrick gave up 7 runs over 2 though.
Jimmy Rollins is only batting .077...thank goodness it's only spring training.
- March 05, 2008 7:21 AM
- furiousBall said...
Lohse at $4M is a great deal! Is there a chance that Phils brass know about an injury that hasn't been disclosed perhaps?
- March 05, 2008 8:50 AM
- GM-Carson said...
My guess is that Gillick was demanded to stop spending, meaning even Lohse a 1 year $4 mil is too expensive. That's a shame if that's the case, but maybe Patty G is actually thinking about signing him just not showing his hand before the play like he normally does.
- March 05, 2008 9:11 AM
- Mike said...
I received an advance copy of "King of Swing" last week. Good stuff, and No-Hit Nunez appears on two songs!
The Phillies are just waiting for their experts to review Lohse's up-to-the-minute medical reports. The Phils are known for their diligence in such matters.

Mike- thank you for playing along with the joke of the post today.
- March 05, 2008 11:44 AM

I found an interesting tidbit on Wikipedia about the "Turnpike Series" between the Phillies and Mets, the Phils lead the series 419-364...so shut up Mutts!!!

Hilarious post GM, good stuff. Nothing like the smell of greed splashed onto the armpits before going out. I gotta beat the chicks off with a stick. Howards fairy-moans(sorry can't spell) kill it.
Off topic. I am experiencing a problem with the WSBGM's home page. Both IE and firefox will not reload the home page after I have viewed it the once. Once the cookie lands it won't refresh properly unless i delete it. I tried it on a friends computer and the same thing happened. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe its a downunder phenomenon. All other websites work fine.

Patient instructions
Before your procedure
Please be prepared to tell us the following information to make sure your procedure goes as smoothly and safely as possible.
Are you taking any medication?
It is important for us to evaluate all of the medications you are taking to make sure the medications we give you will safely interact with them.
If you are taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, coumadin, heparin or lovenox, we need to know when you last took them, as these medications can increase your risk of bleeding.
What's your medical and surgical history?
Knowing your medical and surgical history helps us to better understand your medical background and provides an overall picture of your health care needs.
Do you have a pacemaker/defibrillator?
Before using some of our equipment, it is important for us to know if you have a pacemaker or defibrillator s o we can prevent our equipment from interfering with them.
Any allergies to medication or latex?
If you are allergic to certain medications or latex, please let us know so you are not exposed to them.
Do you have a safe discharge plan?
Please tell us who will sign your discharge paper, drive you home, and stay with you for the remainder of the day. It is important that a responsible adult is with you during this time.
What to bring
Please bring your insurance information and social security number with you on the day of your procedure. If your insurance requires a hospital co-payment, it should be paid at the time of service.
After your procedure
You must have a responsible adult with you when you are discharged. This person needs to hear your discharge instructions, sign them, and drive you home. A taxi is not an acceptable ride unless you have a responsible adult with you. For your safety, you must have someone stay with you for the remainder of the day.
Most procedures last between 15 and 45 minutes. Some may take less time and others may take longer. Recovery time is approximately one hour. During your recovery we monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen level to make sure they return to pre-procedure levels. Before you are discharged we make sure you feel comfortable and are ready to go home.
The medication that you are given for the test will help to make you comfortable. It is a combination of a narcotic (medication for pain) and a sedative (medication to relax). You will most likely be very relaxed or, possibly, sleeping. If you are uncomfortable, please let us know.
People have different tolerance levels to the medication. Because the medication we use during the procedure stays in your system for a few hours, you are instructed not to drive, drink alcohol, work, sign papers or contracts, or be alone for the rest of the day. We encourage you to take it easy and relax.
Yes. Either the nurse or physician will go over your test results, discharge instructions, and physician recommendations with you before you go home.
Our goal is to ensure that our patients have a safe and comfortable procedure. Sometimes patients are nervous or anxious before the procedure and may forget to inform us of certain information. Asking questions repeatedly helps insure your safety.
There are several physicians performing procedures in different rooms in our Unit. Each physician works at a different pace and some procedures may take longer than others. We will call your name as soon as your physician is available. Thank you for your patience.
All of our scopes are sterilized immediately after each use.
Your safety and satisfaction are our #1 priority.

Live Chat With Julie Dibens, Day Three
The men's race
I get to see Crowie training a fair bit in Kona. He is in great shape, and has prepared as well as he did last year. I believe the fitness is there....so yes he has the ability to do it again. But as you say anything can happen race day. The hardest thing i believe he has to deal with...is he as hungry as he was last year? does he have the same desire and determination? We will see....
Kienle, Macca, or Crowie RT @TriathleteMag Who do you think is going to lead the men's race off the bike?by drewgreaves27 via twitter 10/11/2012 7:01:55 PM
WIthout Lieto in the race i think the dynamics of the race will change. People almost expected him to be off the front and coming into T2 first. The front mens pack has the potential to be huge..30-35 guys. Someone will ...or has to go for it if they want to shake things up. Some one Mckenzie may make a move to get some time coming into T2. What i think adds to it is the small group that could come from behind with some uber bikers like Kienle, Lowe, Schildknecht.
There is a huge difference between hammering the bike, and trying to capitalise on your bike strength. People like myself and Lieto often get harrassed for "biking too hard" and then fading on the run. But u have to play to your strengths. Mckensie, Kienle, Lowe while solid runners in their own rights, know that to win the race they need a few mins on the likes of Crowie, Jacobs, Raleart. WHen you are a strong biker, it is a fine line between capitalizing on your strength (the bike) but leaving something in the tank for the run
Ive heard that Kienle has said he is here to learn. While this may be true i wouldn't count him out. He showed in Galveston earlier in the year, and recently in Vegas that he not only is one of the most talented riders out there, but that he has the balls to go for the win. In Vegas he showed he is a great runner too when he held on the for the win. He has the advantage that he is coming in here blind, and with no pressure. I think he could surprise himself and alot of the other guys. Potential to be a big upset here
@TriathleteMag don't know who will, but I wanna say I am pulling for @TOinTRI and @rappstar .by AlwaysTri23 via twitter 10/11/2012 7:13:22 PM
I'm picking to of my country men as my dark horses. Tom Lowe, and Paul Amey. Tom, despite breaking his hand about 5-6 weeks ago is a machine. He is tommy the tank, and i think is one of the strongest riders out there. For a big guy he runs really really well too. Paul is a cagey little fighter, if he can hang on the bike, he can run like the best of them, and with his small size could do really well here
2:40 on the run here is fast. The conditions are deceptive. Ive been here for 2 weeks now, and it doesn't feel too hot until you start doing stuff and then you just start sweating. Its unreal. Just the humidity. The wind really has been light compared to the last few years too. Yes some guys are capable of it, but this race is crazy. If anyone does it will be Jacobs, Crowie or Andreas
No i dont think so. Crowie is the complete athlete this year, like last year. He is super strong and confident with his biking, and isn't afraid to go for it. I just don't see anyone closing down on crowie from behind. You want to beat him, you need to come into T2 with him or ahead of him
I think Andy has learned alot from his past performances here. I think this year he will try and conserve energy as much as possible. Lead out of the swim, and then pretty much wait for the group to catch him. I think he knows he is not going to stay away by himself. The guys ride the first 40km so fast, he is better of riding at a steady pace, and conserving. He has also had a lighter race schedule this year which i think is great. Has the ability to go top 5 for sure
Word is Michi has been a little sick this week. Sometimes that works out in your favor because it enforces you to really freshen up, so people def shouldn't count him out. Its the first time we have also seen Andreas and Michi race together...will their be team tactics.... Deep down, i dont think he will be a factor this year....but i hope he proves me wrong cos i;m a big Michael R fan.
I dont think Rasmus has done the work that he has in the past. The big advantage that he has is that he is coming in with a totally different mental attitude. He is relaxed, and sometimes we race the best ever when relaxed. He is a great guy, and really hope he goes out with a cracking result....if he remembers to take his swimskin off :)

(SR500) Transportation Planning Implications of Census 2010 in New Urbanized Areas
Event Type:
Approval Status:
The 2010 Census brought significant changes to census geography, including designation of new urbanized areas (UZAs) from formerly rural areas and expansion of UZA boundaries to encompass formerly rural communities within the UZA. This Webinar will describe the impacts of these changes on the transportation planning activities in these new and enlarged UZAs. The presentation will identify the key procedural steps that should be taken now by transit providers, MPOs, and States to ensure that metropolitan planning processes in these new and expanded UZAs assume their new and changed responsibilities timely and effectively. By the end of the webinar, participants should have a full understanding of both the concept and organizational workings of the MPO in managing the metropolitan planning process, as well as their roles in the key preparatory steps in establishing the planning program.

Sacramento Republic F.C. defeated the Charlotte Eagles S.C. Monday night on the road by the score of 1-0. A festive crowd of 647 fans showed up at Dickson Field and braved the humid weather to watch some USL Pro action. Rodrigo Lopez had to sit out this game due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Republic F.C. was looking to win their fifth road game of the 2014 season whilst Charlotte was trying to keep their five game undefeated streak going.
The game opened up with the Republic taking possession and pretty much dominated the both sides of the ball for pretty much of the first half. Sacramento drew first blood by scoring in the 10th minute when Tommy Stewart scored from a pass by Max Alvarez who streaked down the field to set up goal. In the middle of the first, Charlotte had a few chances to score an equalizer but failed to capitalize on the opportunities that were available. Eagles goalie Alec Kann managed to keep Sacramento out of the net for the rest of the half as it ended 1-0.
Sacramento started out the second just like the first by dominating on both sides of the field. Jake Gleeson played solid in front of the net and whilst the attackers kept pressured on Charlotte throughout the game. Alec Kann was stones behind the Eagles' net and put up a great stand against the persistent Republic offense. Neither team was able to score in the second half but Sacramento held on for the 1-0 road victory.
The Republic F.C. head home for to host Orlando City S.C. this Thursday night at Bonney Field. For ticket information please visit http://www.ticketmaster.com/sacramento-republic-fc-vs-orlando-city-sacra.... Cal Expo's California State Fair will also take place during the rest of the month and it's a great opportunity to enjoy the fair and a game.

According to TSN, the San Jose Sharks defeated the Calgary Flames 3-2 on Monday night.
The Sharks were led in scoring by Joe Pavelski who notched two goals, including the game winning goal at 14:54 on the power play from Joe Thornton and Jason Demers to break a 2-2 deadlock.
The Flames' penalty, an interference infraction by Matt Stajan, was a costly one. Ironically after the penalty-filled affair between the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night that saw over 200 minutes in penalties handed out after the first two seconds, the Stajan penalty was the only penalty in the entire hockey game.
Flames' defenseman Kris Russell returned to the lineup after missing 13 games with a sprained medial collateral ligament. The defenseman from Caroline, Alberta notched an assist. Ironically Russell assisted on a goal by Kevin Westgarth, who scored his first goal as a member of the Calgary Flames. Westgarth faced off at center ice on Saturday night when Flames' head coach Bob Hartley decided to start all of his enforcers.
Calgary, which drops to 16-27-7, will next play host to the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday night.

Al Di Meola: Suite – Golden Dawn
Suite – Golden Dawn
Al Di Meola (electric guitar)
Land of the Midnight Sun (Columbia 1CK-34074)
Al Di Meola (electric guitar), Jaco Pastorius (bass),
Barry Miles (keyboards), Mingo Lewis (percussion, keyboards), Alphonse Mouzon (drums).
Composed by Al Di Meola.
Recorded: New York, December 1975-July 1977
Rating: 82/100 (learn more)
Suite – Golden Dawn is separated into three parts: "Morning Fire," "Calmer of the Tempests" and "From Ocean to the Clouds." One often wonders if some of these fusion composers would just write four or five songs and then say, "Why don't we put them all together as a suite and give it a fancy name?" Using that model, Suite – Golden Dawn could have had 10 parts. Certain sections of the piece have clear allusions to Mahavishnu. Di Meola and keyboard Barry Miles take a turn at being John McLaughlin and Jan Hammer in an engaging call and response. Unfortunately, it is one of the rare highlights of the piece. Di Meola and Weather Report's bassist Jaco Pastorius engage in a brief counterpoint that doesn't quite live up to its potential. There is some really good playing here, but the piece as a whole doesn't quite coalesce. Nonetheless, it is worth a listen for fusion fans to hear a snippet of Jaco and get a foreshadowing of future excesses.

College Hockey:Princeton Spreads Offense In Win Over Dartmouth
PRINCETON, N.J. — When Harvard trounced Princeton 7-0 three weeks ago at Hobey Baker Rink, Tiger head coach Guy Gadowsky remained appreciative of one positive: The fans actually stayed through the whole game.
For that, he vowed, "We're going to pay them back."
Friday's decisive 6-2 win over Dartmouth is a good start.
Princeton (7-17-2, 5-13-1 ECACHL), which broke up its top scoring line of Grant Goeckner-Zoeller, Dustin Sproat and Patrick Neundorfer to generate offense, received two goals from freshman Keith Shattenkirk to sweep the season series with Dartmouth (14-10-2, 10-8 ECACHL).
"We've been getting great play from guys like Landis Stankievech and Keith Shattenkirk and Sebastian Borza and Darroll Powe, and they're just on the verge of breaking out," Gadowsky said. "All those three guys of our [top] line are such skilled players that I thought they could help."
"We tried it at the end of our game on Saturday night last week and we finally started getting some momentum, and so we decided to go with it," Sproat said. "It just kind of rejuvenated everyone a little bit. The scoring was really spread out tonight so it really worked out well."
The decisive goal came 1:04 into the second period with Princeton hanging on to a 2-1 lead. Neundorfer's shot on goal was deflected, and Powe knocked the puck in the net from mid-air.
"That was the biggest goal of the game," Gadowsky said. "If that one went against us I think everything is different."
"We came out fumbling with the puck tonight, not making smart plays, not doing what we usually do to win hockey games," Dartmouth forward Mike Ouellette said. "Credit to Princeton. They came out and played hard and made us battle for everything. I think we just let a few bounces get away from us tonight and once we were down, we didn't have the mental toughness to stay focused and get back in the game, and it's something we have to work on."
Shattenkirk opened the scoring for Princeton 5:50 into the first period. Sproat sent a quick pass to the right of the net to Shattenkirk, who slid the puck past Dartmouth goalie Sean Samuel.
"We seemed to click and find each other," Shattenkirk said. "Sproat hit me with that puck, and after missing the first one from Landis I felt like I had to get that next one in."
With Dartmouth's Rob Jarvis in the penalty box for holding at 8:37, the Tigers had the opportunity to make it 2-0 on the power play. However, Princeton defenseman Luc Paquin turned the puck over at the point, and Ouellette raced down the ice on the breakaway. Goalie Eric Leroux was able to get a piece of Ouellette's shot, but it trickled through Leroux's legs to tie the game.
But the Tigers rebounded a little over two minutes later, as Shattenkirk picked up a Brian Carthas pass off the boards and backhanded the puck top shelf for his second goal of the night.
"Brian Carthas gave me a beautiful pass and I figured I'd try to get it on net because good things happen when you get it on net," Shattenkirk said. "It worked out for me."
Leroux was strong the first half of the game, when the score was close. He finished with 31 saves.
"He was making saves for us, and we had to return the favor by getting a couple of goals," Shattenkirk said. "When you have that kind of confidence in your goaltender that when you get up, he's going to make the saves for you, it does a lot for you."
Goeckner-Zoeller scored at 3:12 of the third to send Samuel to the bench and extend the lead to 4-1, then assisted on Princeton's next two goals. Goeckner-Zoeller dove on the ice to knock a pass to Mark Masters, who beat goalie Dan Yacey at 6:39. Then at 12:30, Goeckner-Zoeller set up Sebastian Borza, who skated in front of the crease and backhanded the puck in for his sixth goal of the season to make it 6-1.
Dartmouth added a goal with 2:16 to go in the game when Garret Overlock one-timed a Jarvis pass in the slot.
Princeton will play its home finale Saturday night against Vermont while Dartmouth travels to New Haven, Conn., to face Yale.
"Getting a big win at home in the last home weekend feels good but we know we have a job to do tomorrow, so we'll be confident and ready to come out and do it again tomorrow," Goeckner-Zoeller said.
"We recognize what we did wrong and luckily we have another night to get some positive things for the weekend," Ouellette said.

A public memorial has been set for Darren Hankins, Virginia Tech wrestler who died in a drowning accident last week, the university announced Tuesday.
A memorial service will be held Thursday, July 10 at 10 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Norfolk, Va. The service is open to the public.
Friends may also express condolences to the Hankins family by signing a card in the front lobby of Virginia Tech's Merryman Center.
Hankins, 21, who had just completed his junior year, drowned while swimming in a water-filled rock quarry last Wednesday, July 2, just outside Blacksburg, home to the Virginia Tech campus. He was pronounced dead at the scene after being pulled from the water by first responders about 7:30 p.m.
Darren Bradford Hankins was born Dec. 22, 1992, the youngest of three children to David and Priscilla Hankins. According to the message posted at the Virginia Tech wrestling website that was provided by the family, "Darren developed many interests in chess, orchestra as a violinist, weightlifting, videography, organized sports to include baseball, football, basketball and his preferred sport of wrestling."
Hankins, a junior, had not competed during the 2013-14 season after having knee surgery but assisted the team by posting videos and providing inspirational talks. In his sophomore year, Hankins was 14-13, scoring two major decisions, two technical falls, and one pin. As a freshman in 2011-12, Hankins was 4-9.
At Hickory High School in Chesapeake, Hankins was the Group AAA state runner-up at 215 pounds in his senior year. He finished fourth in the nation at the high school nationals.
The family said that Hankins had been offered scholarships from Old Dominion University, George Mason University, and Appalachian State University, choosing Virginia Tech because of the philosophy program curriculum, wrestling program, and the college town atmosphere of Blacksburg.
While at Virginia Tech, Hankins switched from philosophy to a theater arts major. "He loved the campus ministry, studying the Bible, and winning souls for Christ. He loved engaging people in dialogue," said the message from his parents, which also described Darren as being inquisitive and questioning, even as a young child.
In addition to being survived by his parents David and Priscilla Hankins, Darren Hankins was survived by his brother D. Bernard Hankins Jr., his sister Dara Hankins, his grandmother Ida Hankins, four aunts, four uncles, and countless cousins. He is preceded in death by his grandmother Bishop Salina Ross and grandfather Columbus Hankins.

Superman VS. The Elite post DCnU

I find it funny that DC gave Bruce Timm permission to do an adaptation of "What's so funny about truth, justice and the American way?" Mainly as it doesn't seem to go with the DCnU ( I have similar feelings as to the use of Wally West in Young Justice.).
First: We have a Superman who is saying that violence and killing aren't the best way. That there should be another way. DC wants the heroes to be more "Edgy" to appeal to younger readers.
second: the "Elite" are a pistache of the Authority, characters that DC is featuring heavily in the relaunch. Superman has to defeat the "Elite". Really Bruce Timm? Couldn't you have googled or looked that up on Wikipedia before you asked to do this?
Then again maybe this video is just meant to be something more for long-time fans then new ones.
Any rate is this story ( though no longer canon) still relevant with the relaunch? I say yes. To me this is what Superman should be. He should be the one who shows us that there is a better way and that as Batman said in the JL episode Hereafter, "you showed me that true justice doesn't have to come from the darkness."

I'll gladly buy this movie when it's released. And to be honest, I'm not very impressed with the version of Superman that they're currently using in the comics.

I maintain that the Timmverse cartoons had one of the best characterizations of Superman I've ever seen. I'm probably more psyched for this movie than I am for Man of Steel . I loved the comic this was based on; it's a wonderful representation of who Superman is and what he stands for.
It should still be relevant, but I will say that the character in the relaunch isn't enough like the one in "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?" He seems more like a thug, and reminds me way too much of Batman ( whom I love, but Batman isn't Superman and vice versa for a reason ).
Anyway, bring on Superman vs. The Elite! I really hope they get Dana Delany to do Lois's voice again, as she's seriously my favorite voice actress for Lois.

uh.....No, I don't think it is still relevant.
No, this film doesn't means to long time fans. Who are the long time fans? The fans who read the comics during Bryne's era to Pre DCnU? There are other fans who like the cocky Superman during the Golden or the big boyscout during the Silver age.
That is just me.

I'm truly awaiting in much anticipation for this to come out (regardless of the chosen animated art style (just wish it was done in Mahnke's like they did with "Under the Red Hood" )), and just truly hope the animated movie adaption ends up coming off as a pure masterpiece just like the comic issue its based on.
However, what I honestly still don't get is why the PTB up at WB/DC have chosen to portray Superman minus the red trunks with the "New 52" look going forth in their comics continuity itself yet come their animated adaptions like "Young Justice" series and animated movies choose to still portray him in his more "classic" red trunks incarnation? o_O I mean exactly which look do you wish to use going forth for Superman now? =/

Well, isn't the episode vs. the Elite a great sample of Silver Age boyscouting?
I too am quite psyched about this movie, I like the new approach fine, but I still like the old personality better enough to want to watch this one. And I hate the Authority enough to be glad how a goody two shoes Supes kicks their pastiches' buns whenever he wants. Hope they keep faithful to this part... although it's too bad they didn't use the real Authority for this.
I also hope it's well drawn and animated.

I already said this in the other thread but I loved this movie.
Great portrayal of Superman.
Animation wasn't as realistic as I like but it worked fine.
I'm definitely recommending this to friends.

I just now watched "Superman vs The Elite" animation movie. I am 61 yrs. old, and have been a die hard fan of Superman since the easrly 50's. I have watched with the eyes of a boy and a young man (and now with eyes of an older much wiser person) Superman grow and change over the decades and into the 21st, century.
This animation/movie (I feel) was done to a high degree. I enjoyed it completely! I remember reading the comic that it was made from. The art was different, but the story line was well done. It brought up a need for all of us to remember that an "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" is never the answer. When you behave like that you assumed the same philosophy. Superman gives us all a thing to remember in our deepest darkest hour.

I finally got around to watching it. I liked it a lot. The art direction threw me off in the adverts, but it ended up looking rather decent in the final product.
Now, I was never overly struck by Action Comics #775. I find it a good read but not the brilliant piece of work that a lot of people do. I think this animated adaptation was better than the source material.

Initial claims the main calendar event
David Russell | firstname.lastname@example.com
Economists expect that 346,000 people sought unemployment benefits for the first time last week, up from 339,000 in the prior period. Lower readings would be considered positive because it would mean that fewer Americans lost their jobs, while the opposite would be true in the event of a higher number.
The report will also be viewed as an early indicator of the pivotal non-farm payrolls report for April, due out tomorrow morning at the same time.

One Direction Fans' Twitter Accounts Reportedly Suspended As Spam
One Direction fans are not thrilled with Twitter right now.
On Thursday, the social media platform reportedly suspended tens of thousands of accounts belonging to the boy band's ardent supporters, apparently in response to a flood of tweets using hashtags that pertained to a One Direction DVD "watch party."
The messages were reportedly considered "spam" violations.
It's not been established how many accounts were actually taken down.
Directioners, as they're known, began a "Twitter Unsuspend Directioners" trending topic in response.
Gossip Cop reached out to Twitter for an official explanation of whatever actions were (or were not) taken, but has yet to hear back.
Twitter infamously banned "Justin Bieber" as a trending topic amid the singer's meteoric rise to superstardom.
