More Disney layoffs have been reported on Monday by Yahoo! News. Walt Disney Co. will be cutting more employees – as it has several times in recent years. The report asserts that up to 200 persons will be let go this week, following less-than-stellar quarterly financial results released by Disney this past week.
Disney's Interactive division has the duty of managing the mega-media operation's mobile, social media, online, and gaming properties – as well as other digital properties of the company's vast operations.
There was the expectation of some structural changes after John Pleasants was replaced by Jimmy Pitaro near the end of 2013. In 2010, the two executives were named co-presidents at Walt Disney Co.
Disney had already cut 50 jobs a year ago last September and some 150 positions were cut in the spring of this past year. The company has reportedly been struggling with profitability. Yahoo! News referred to the Wall Street Journal in its initial report of this story.

Hell on Wheels Sunday at 9 p.m., AMC
This series didn't get a ton of critical acclaim during its first season. Many writers compared it to "Deadwood," since it is a gritty western. And most westerns fail in comparison to the HBO classic. But on its own terms, "Hell on Wheels" is engaging and atmospheric. Set right after the Civil War, it follows Anson Mount's former Confederate soldier on a mission of revenge against the Union soldiers who killed his wife and child. He's a sympathetic, fast-shooting mess, and he's surrounded by vivid characters including Christopher Heyerdahl's "The Swede" and Common as a freed slave. If'n y'all like westerns, it's worth a look, especially in this month of TV-series down time before the fall. Pictured: Mount.

Noah Eli Gordon is the author of seven books, including The Source (Futurepoem, 2011), and Novel Pictorial Noise (Harper Perennial, 2007), which was selected by John Ashbery for the National Poetry Series and subsequently chosen for the San Francisco State Poetry Center Book Award. Gordon is the co-publisher of Letter Machine Editions, and an Assistant Professor in the MFA program in Creative Writing at The University of Colorado Boulder, where he currently directs Subito Press. His work has recently appeared or is forthcoming from numerous anthologies, including Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology, 2nd Edition (W.W. Norton, 2012), A Broken Thing: Poets on the Line (University of Iowa Press, 2011), Against Expression: An Anthology of Conceptual Writing (Northwestern University Press, 2011), and Poets on Teaching (University of Iowa Press, 2010).
Part theoretical treatise on the ethics of origination, part assemblage-art investigation of the dissemination of public knowledge, THE SOURCE is a book-length conceptual essay, a polemic in defense of constrained bibliomancy and ambient research as authentic means to illuminate truth in all its messy vectors.
"The prolific Gordon here takes his cues from Ashbery–who picked this collection for the National Poetry Series–but also from poets ranging from Rilke to Peter Gizzi. In alternating pages of prose and spare verse lines, he plays freely in the realm between theory and lyric: "Sculpture seeks articulation of the air around it. Thus, a heron thrusting overhead mutes modernism." Each of the 50 one-paragraph prose poems starts with a proposition and then attempts to both follow through on its initial lunge and also force the reader off the most obvious of trails of thought, usually by tossing in a few surprises: an Ajax bottle, Alice Neel, a "dab of wisteria" and a strip of duct tape make appearances in two lines of one poem. Gordon closes each poem with an artfully clumsy rhyming couplet–"One packs in what one can, as the real point of art is the subtle reiteration of the is, ain't it? The way I see it, we're all partially tainted"–alternately lending irony and vulnerability. While this is a difficult book steeped in canonical and postmodern poetic traditions–meaning it won't appeal to everyone–it's packed with thrills and discoveries that might engender some discussion."
—Publishers Weekly
Such a new century deserves the sexual, the scientific, and the utterly secular pleasure of building a poem with the tectonics of a great bridge. So little pathos and so many paths. Broken like the heteronyms of Pessoa, but filled with multiple lives, Noah Eli Gordon teases all false monumentality yet reserves its rights to memory. To call it witty or wild isn't witty or wild enough and leaves out the cavalier, the paideia, and structural surge. He has the restless tones and narrative density of a septet. His work itself glows green with surprises. He is a painter, of course.
—David Shapiro
In Figures for a Darkroom Voice the rhetorical twisting of Noah Eli Gordon's abstractions meld with the ominous narratives of Joshua Marie Wilkinson's fragments, turning Wallace Steven's notion of a supreme fiction toward a supreme friction, one where the work of these two poets is fused into a voice as singular as it is sinister. Imagine a gallery in which Cornell boxes talk back, a Maya Deren film in which the audience dissolves into projector light, a Philip Glass composition played exclusively on medieval weaponry, such are the compelling results of this collaborative work. Here, the slippage and disruptions of textually investigative work collides with the mind-expanding project of conjuring paradox, while never quite leaving linearity behind. When these poets write, "I am trying to draw you a simple picture of explanation," one realizes the monumental nature of such a task. And this task is made more complex, and ultimately more rewarding, by the inclusion of Noah Saterstrom's dynamic images.
It was the Russian Formalist critics who first noted that one of the historic roles of art – and one of art's inexorable drivers toward incessant, ongoing change – is to incorporate new aspects of society into the art itself. Without which any genre would very quickly lose much of its connectedness with the life of the community from which it springs. Inbox is exactly what its title suggests, a work of art that includes email received by the author, albeit written entirely by his correspondents, over a period of time. Sociologically,Inbox is fascinating. It presents the highest order of conceptual poetics just by being itself.
—Ron Silliman
Noah Eli Gordon is a master of the shift between an epigrammatic and aphoristic line. Each utterance is a glance that implodes rhetorical strategies so spectacularly that the spray of intelligence that lingers in this reader's mind is not much different from a cooling shower from an illegally opened fire hydrant. Witty, vivid, and very, very vital, Gordon has entered a higher frequency.
—Claudia Rankine
Noah Eli Gordon can spin, scratch, sample, and dub to mix a sound all his own. The Frequencies tunes in desire, poetry, static, and laughter–all the while broadcasting with the intensity and joy of first things. It's dope.
—Peter Gizzi

A total hip replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure performed by an orthopaedic surgeon in which a prosthetic (artificial) joint made of metal and plastic replaces the arthritic joint surfaces.
Individuals requiring joint replacements usually do so because of arthritic changes (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) that interfere with their quality of life. These may result in:

IN THE WINTER OF 1983, the largest El Niño event on record sent a chain of superstorms in from the Pacific Ocean to batter the entire West. That spring, a massive snowmelt sent runoff racing down the Colorado River toward the Glen Canyon Dam, a 710-foot-high wall of concrete that sat at the head of the most iconic landscape feature in America, the Grand Canyon. As the water clawed toward the parapet of the dam, worried federal officials desperately scrambled to avoid a worst-case scenario: one of the most dramatic dam failures in history.
Kenton Grua, a fearless boatman and the captain of the Emerald Mile, embarked on an unusual and defiant mission: to use the flooding dam's torrents of water as a hydraulic slingshot that would hurl him and two companions through 277 miles of some of the most ferocious white water in North America and, if everything went as planned, catapult the Emerald Mile into legend as the fastest boat ever propelled—by oar, by motor, or by the grace of God—through the heart of the Grand Canyon.

Here we go with another month of side story Harley Quinn. Harley Quinn issue 6 is written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. The art is beautiful as always and it's done by Chad Hardin with color by Alex Sinclair.
This issue we get the end of the Syborg and Harley Quinn side story. I call this a side story because I believe the main story in this comic should be the fact that someone left Harley a apartment building and someone, maybe the same person, put a hit out on her. But like every month we hear nothing about either of those things. Instead we get Harley helping out Syborg, one of her patients from the old folks home.
The story between Syborg and Harley was kinda cute. We get to see Harley being Harley. She kicks ass and loves up one some animals, this time at the zoo. And did anyone catch that that tiger was chewing on a piece of Batman's shirt? Yeah I don't know what happened there other than maybe it was referencing the scene in Death of the Family where the Joker has Damian fight the fake Batman at Gotham City Zoo. Maybe I'm just over thinking it.
It's not until the end where I feel we are being teased once again with the main story plot. Poison Ivy shows back up and says she knows who put the hit out on Harley. But that's where they leave us, with yet another cliff hanger. If you can call it a cliff hanger. I would call it "a big fat I will stop reading this comic if they don't tell us soon and get to the main story teaser!" But if you're down for meaningless side stories and just cute fun reads it was a okay issue. What did you think? Are you as tired of the side stories as I am?

Library of Congress To Close National Translations Center
The Library of Congress will close the National Translations Center (NTC) on September 30, the end of fiscal year 1993. In spite of intensive marketing and a great deal of staff effort, sales have remained very low, and cost recovery, required for this program, does not appear to be attainable. Although recipients of the service have reported it to be useful, they are too few in number to continue it on a cost recovery basis.
The Center, an international depository and referral service, helps users locate unpublished translations of foreign-language literature in the natural, physical, medical, and social sciences. The NTC files hold information on the location of about 1,000,000 translations, of which about 400,000 are held directly at the Center.
The National Translations Center was formally organized in 1953 and located at the John Crerar Library. From 1953 until 1968, it was under the auspices of the Special Libraries Association (SLA) with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Then it became an independent department of the Crerar Library at the University of Chicago with NSF support continuing through 1973. It moved to the University of Chicago as a part of a merger in 1984 and became part of the Library of Congress in 1989.
The Library of Congress may be able to sustain availability of the documents cited in the MARC files beyond September 30. However, final disposition of the collections, card files, machine-readable bibliographic records and the software developed to create them has not been determined. All reasonable suggestions are welcomed.
For information concerning the National Translations Center at the Library of Congress, please contact: Karl R. Green, Head, National Translations Center, Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20541-5215; telephone (202) 707-2803; fax (202) 707-6147.

Evaluate prospective presidential candidate Mike Pence as it has begun in earnest. Republicans are promoting and testing candidates and their credentials. Knowing that polls show that Jeb Bush would have trouble defeating Hillary Clinton, the GOP is still shopping. They could consider Meg Whitman, but they have not. They could recruit from a vast reservoir of qualified Republican women but they have not because:
- There are not a vast number of qualified GOP women?
- The male dominated party doesn't know them"
- They believe that they can find a strong white male that represents their demographics and still win?
What is there to like about Governor Mike Pence?
- He is a governor of a significant sized state that might be representative of middle class America.
- He was a former member of the US House of Representatives.
- He is a lawyer.
What is there not to like about Governor Mike Pence?
- He is a professional politician.
- His resume is lightweight with no private sector executive experience or accomplishments.
- There is no indication of anything stellar about the person.
He wants drivers to slow down in construction zones and give workers a break (or brake)?

What's More Fun
Than Arguing Religion
With A Fundamentalist?
Jason Follower of the Carpenter

Sent: April 26, 2002 11:01 PM
Subject: Challenging the nonexistence of God.
Well, Cliff, its been some time since I e-mailed you something. Lets not have any false accusations this time, ok?
Note: We abridged Jason's letter for no other reason than the fact that we banned Jason from our Forum well over a year ago. Jason did slip through the cracks at least once by changing the name on his e-mail account in order to bypass our filters. We are not aware of this having happened on other occasions though that doesn't mean it hasn't! (Hell, we have over 1,500 complete exchanges already posted, plus, an additional 700 or so Letter-Reply pairs awaiting an opportunity for us to format and post them!)
Hope you have fun with this one.
From: "Positive Atheism Magazine"
To: "Jason Follower of the Carpenter"
Subject: Re: Challenging the nonexistence of God.
Date: April 27, 2002 10:00 AM
Why do you keep insisting that I have made a positive claim that gods do not exist? Why do you keep lying about me like this?
And what makes you think I care about what you tell me you think?
And speaking of what you think, I still question whether you've ever come up with an original thought of your own; thus, while I have zero interest in debating the "god-question" with anybody, I most definitely have no time to hold a discussion with the memorized script of an apologetics video such as one might order through some 800-number flashing on the television screen, while the man in the brown suit rants on.
Why would I consider such an activity even remotely resembling "fun"?
You're the one who claims that gods exist, not I.
Perhaps I could think of something less interesting, compelling, useful, healthful, or whatever, than arguing the "god-question" if I applied myself, but I would have to be trying really hard.
Perhaps if given the choice of arguing the "god-question" and watching a parade, either in person or on television, I might be persuaded to choose arguing the "god-question." I don't think I could be persuaded to watch a parade voluntarily.
But suppose someone were to call me during the wee hours and complain about there being over a kilogram of impacted fecal matter lodged in his or her rectum, having been pressed together so tightly in the intestine that it has become too large to pass the anus. And suppose that the only other candidate for the tedious and nausea-inducing task of carefully digging out the Big Turd was the roommate, who was busily engaged in a high-stakes online argument involving the "god-question." (Let's say the theist on the other end of the "chat room" has agreed to renounce her or his faith if "we" prevail, and "we" are right on the brink of prevailing and the theistic opponent has admitted such!) Let us further suppose that this "god-question" debater would gladly perform the "shit work" if and only if someone with my level of skill at debating this topic would take his or her place in the argument! Finally, we'll add an element of suspense (if you will) by observing that there are no tools, instruments, or supplies available other than what one might expect to find in the minimally equipped apartment unit of two college freshmen studying humanities at a very conservative University such as Brigham Young. There are, thus, no lab or medical supplies, and one would not reasonably expect to find any drug paraphernalia or sex toys on such a conservative campus.
The question is this: Would I choose to take that person's place and continue the argument over someone's claim that gods exist? Would I sit down at the computer terminal and let the roommate perform what some might call "the dirty deed"?
Hell, no!
If this were the choice offered to me, and if I were put on the spot and somehow required to choose between these two activities, I'd opt for digging out The Big Turd, and I'd give not a moment's thought
to this decision. Nobody who has known me from up close would think of me as some queen of butt-sex or anything like that, so with me, you're not dealing with a fetish of any kind; it's simply a job that needs to be done, unplesant
though it may seem. The challenge would be to minimize injury to the surrounding tissue; the honor would be in helping a fellow human be relieved of a painful and unhealthy situation; the reward would be in watching my friend obtain a powerful motive for
becoming much more careful about diet, nutrition, and hygiene in the future.
My only response, again, is to show (again) why I cannot discuss science or any other matter with you:
1. Matter exists
Ask anybody who has ever dealt closely with a rock-hard butt-load of compressed shit, and chances are they will fervently to jump to this conclusion.
However, there is much more to it than to simply say "matter exists" because were you to compact The Big Turd to its particle component, eliminating anything resembling the "empty space" said to exist in between individual particles, the resulting "matter" would still be too small to detect with any light-based microscope.
In addition, under a specific condition there would be enough of what you appear to call "matter" in the load of excrement resulting from the single defecating session of any multicellular organism currently living on the face of this planet (take your pick) to "create" (literally: "result in") more universes with characteristics similar to our Universe than you could count in your entire lifetime.
Thus, to say "matter exists" is to omit so much of importance that I really don't want to talk with you about this subject.
2. The first law of thermodynamics is correct.
The first law of thermodynamics is correct as far as the current, most up-to-date understanding of physics is concerned, according to the preponderance of physicists alive and working today. The first law of thermodynamics is subject to being overthrown by newer, stronger evidence than that upon which we currently base our understanding of this law.
3. The second law of thermodynamics is correct.
The second law of thermodynamics is correct as far as the current, most up-to-date understanding of physics is concerned, according to the preponderance of physicists alive and working today. The second law of thermodynamics is subject to being overthrown by newer, stronger evidence than that upon which we currently base our understanding of this law.
Do you see why it is impossible for me to hold a discussion about science with a preacher? For the same reason, it is impossible for me to hold any sort of philosophical discussion with anybody who approaches that discussion with the intent of proving his claims to be correct. Since the Evangelical and Fundamentalistic varieties of the Christian religion presuppose the inherent correctness of the Christian religion, I really have nothing to discuss with you.
As I stated in a previous (unposted, of course) letter to you,
How can I communicate with someone about an institution, when that someone insists that the institution is above reproach? How can I talk with someone who can so easily (and without remorse) twist my words around and then try to refute his corruption of my words without once addressing anything that I actually said? How can I communicate with someone whose entire understanding of history and science has been systematically altered to make it appear to that individual that the Christian religion is truthful? whose understanding of "science" and "history" are unique, and not part of that shared experience which marks the genuine study of history and science.
We really have nothing to talk about, here.

Both Monster squads entered this weekend coming off of wins and were looking to keep the momentum up against division foes. The NAHL team split wins with Wenatchee the prior weekend, but were hoping to earn more points with a 3-game set against the Alaska Avalanche.
Brendan Bradley got the party started early, scoring just 50 seconds into the game on a play set up by Mikail Bushinsky and Dominic Valencia. Alaska answered with a goal of their own at 5:39 to tie the game back up. The same line struck again for the Monsters, though, at 16:02 on a power play. Bushinsky put the puck in after some hard work in front of the Alaska net. Bradley and Kyle Sucher picked up assists.
Apparently, Bradley liked being the first one to score in the first period, because he did it again in the seond. He scored unassisted just 3:58 in, stretching the Monsters' lead to 3-1. Alaska was able to bring it back within one goal just before the end of the period, scoring at 18:35.
The Avalanche weren't content to just ride off into the sunset and try again on Saturday. The scored 38 seconds into the third period to tie the game back up and were pressing for more. They got it with another goal at 3:56 while the two teams were skating 4-on-4, and took a 4-3 lead. There were multiple power play opportunities for both teams after that, but even though the momentum seemed to shift back and forth, the score remained. The Monsters tried just about everything, but couldn't get the equalizer before time ran out.
The Monsters will have another go with Alaska at 7:35 PM Saturday night at Selland Arena.
WSHL Monsters shut Bombers out
Continuing what can only be described as an absolutely dominant season, the WSHL Monsters womped on the Long Beach Bombers by the tune of 5-0. There were several stand-out performances for the Monsters, including Kyle Baker, who scored the first goal of the game (the eventual game winner) and added a couple of assists. Josiah Nikkel scored a couple of goals, Don Coyle had a goal and an assist, Rob Kolander had two assists and Cameron Coburn chipped in with the fifth and final goal of the game.
The WSHL team plays Long Beach again at 3:30 PM on Saturday at Selland Arena.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Real Sociedad vs. Shakhtar Donetsk 2013 (en vivo live score results below) heads into a Champions League battle in one hour from now. The two teams have struggled in recent weeks. But today they finish the second of two Group A soccer games in the UEFA Champions League.

Story By Cpl. T. Allen Bricker | Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow
New Years has become synonymous with terms like 'fresh start' or 'clean slate.' This holds true for people across the world, including those in the armed forces.
The United States Marine Corps is always looking to improve in areas it both excels and lacks in. This includes unit's safety, health and well-being. Along with their resolutions for the new year, Marines also receive training to get back in the swing of things after an extended holiday period.
To ensure the year started on the right foot, Headquarters Battalion (HqBn) aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow held a day of training Jan. 7, for its Marines to help make the transition back to work as seamless as possible.
The 'back in the saddle' training held was a series of classes throughout a day to educate Marines on important issues in the Marine Corps.
"It's good to use this opportunity to welcome back the Marines from the holidays with something constructive," said Sgt. Jacey Marks, assistant S-3 chief with HqBn. on base.
Several topics such as safe driving, suicide awareness and prevention, and hearing conservation are topics covered during the training. The day of training assessed key points the Marine Corps should stress importance on.
"The classes we gave at the BITS [back in the saddle] training are all things the Marine Corps feels is important to be aware of," said Marks.
During each of the classes taught, Marines were asked to read portions of the presentation and were involved in discussions with the class. The goal was to get Marines critically thinking and take the discussions to heart, Marks explained.
Along with trying to better the Marine Corps as a whole, individual members of the organization are seeking self improvement as well. Cpl. Jonathon Norita, a supply clerk with
HqBn. intends to use the new year as a kick start to move his career in the right direction.
"I made a New Year's resolution to make better decisions this year. I want to be able to lead Marines well, take them on runs, and give them advice," explained Norita. "So, if I'm in good shape and make good choices, I could be that [noncommissioned officer] younger Marines want to look up to. That's what I intend to do," he added.
Even though the new year has begun and the Marine Corps and Marines individually have already started with their resolutions, it's never too late to figure out who you are and seek self improvement.

Loud pipes equal safety
As I was on my way home from work recently, I had a motorcycle in my blind spot. Thank God for his loud exhaust pipes — for I would have never known he was there.
The saying "Loud pipes save lives" is true.
I am sure many accidents and lives have been saved when people can hear the bike, and know to look for it before changing lanes.

Management failure
Who is managing the school system? Because the Volusia County School Board is telling us it is not capable of managing.
Board members want to outsource custodians and grounds crews. They tell us the new management company will save us $6 million a year. They tell us the level of service and supplies will be the same, and existing employees will be hired at the same pay, with slightly fewer benefits, and this company will save us $6 million a year and make a profit.
I have been a business owner since the 1980s and still am, so all this company is going to do is manage better and save $6 million while making a profit and taking our money to Philadelphia. Who is managing our school system?

Chicago-style transformation
Most media has either deliberately or passively remarked (or grinned) that there is a leadership emulating Chicago-style politics that now occupies the White House. Maybe the media should have been examining exactly what that could mean to our country. That political transformation is anything but what we all truly want for our government and our leaders. It is blatant, arrogant, misleading and scandalous. It isn't a desired transformation.
We've had the Black Panthers, Fast and Furious, Benghazi — generally ignored. Now, we have the IRS, Associated Press and Benghazi-gate lies. Finally, some in the media have decided to speak up and ask some questions more relevant than the NCAA tournament picks. Let's hope that the traditional White House response that "it's someone else — not Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton — that caused all this" is not allowed to prevail and the usual delay tactics are not accepted. It's not a time for the media to be passive. It does make a difference.
Daytona Beach Shores
The tables are turning
Welcome to our world, Associated Press and mainstream media. And so much for the most "transparent" administration in the history of these United States. The smoke is clearing and the mirrors have cracks!
Now the AP has found out how devious and secretive this benevolent government really is, and capable of targeting anyone who dares to oppose its policies or talking points. Finally, MSNBC, ABC, the liberal/progressive bastions protecting the Obama administration, are finding out that even they may be subject to the targeting and hand-slapping of the current administration.
Now on top of the above scandal, we have the IRS intrusiveness into conservative political groups, forcing them to reveal information not pertinent to establishing tax-exempt status. And we have, from this most transparent government administration, the Benghazi cover-up.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot, the Obamacare bill that was shoved down our throats, without the Democratic House or Senate even reading the bill and understanding it prior to the infamous vote. All we know is that our premiums are skyrocketing, family physicians are retiring early, and we are paying hidden taxes for medical purposes, and even for some retail items not even related to health care. If it's so grand why is 55 percent of this nation not in favor of the Affordable Care Act?
The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. Hopefully, it will be taken care of peacefully, in the elections of 2014 and 2016.
Port Orange
Focus on real issues
I am a moderate, independent, no-party-affiliation person who loves to read the letters to the editor. It would seem that some of the readers are "aghast" at the Benghazi episode. Some think it is nothing but partisan politics as usual, and some don't really care at all. I guess to me it just seems like the same old, same old. This has been going on from Richard Nixon ("I am not a crook"), to Bill Clinton ("I did not have sex with that woman"), to George W. Bush, ("weapons of mass destruction") and on and on.
So why is there any surprise that there is "spin" on Benghazi, the IRS mess or the AP issue? It is Washington as usual. The politicians will form a committee to investigate, and to make themselves seem relevant, and life will go on. In the end nothing will really change.
Most likely the next administration will have a scandal, too.
Let's focus on jobs, the budget and getting America on track and get over the partisan gotcha politics. It is amazing that Americans have such a need to air dirty laundry all the time.
A vote for Doonesbury
Pull Doonesbury, pull my subscription. All these people who can't handle it, don't have to read it.

Too much Tiger
From the Sunday, May 12 front page, upper left hand corner: "THE PLAYERS: Round 3/ Lingmerth leads the pack; Tiger lurks, 2 shots back."
Tiger Woods' picture appears. Why his picture? The TV media and newspapers seem to think that everyone is a Tiger fan. Not by a long shot (no pun intended).

You might mistake these earrings for vintage, but they're actually a unique design by jewelry designer, Leda Rawlins. Leda's jewelry collection includes pieces that are always thoughtfully constructed and often made with colorful stones. The Anna Earrings ($32) are particularly striking for their ornate and intricate lace-like detail.

Genre: Comedy, Drama
Rating: NR
Duration: 2hrs 18min
Billu's life is changed when a film unit arrives at his village for shooting a movie. To Billu's surprise, the star of the movie is none other than Sahil Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) who was Billu's old school friend. Instantly, Billu becomes prominent man in the village and attains fame and respect. Villagers urge him to make acquaintance with the superstar, but Billu is intimidated by his friend's superstar status. He thinks that Sahil would never acknowledge his friendship with a barber. Billu strives to meet the star but is unsuccessful. Finally, he fails after lots of struggle. People suspect that Billu is fibbing in order to gain fame and start offending him. Billu's family and children become apprehensive about his claim. In the end, for an invited school function, the star reveals his past. He tells the audience that in his school days he had a friend who always stood by him in his hardships. He tells how much the friend helped him by providing food when he was hungry, provided clothes when he did not having any. He tells that the friend gave him the money to join acting by selling his ancestral ear ring and that friend happens to be Billo. At that time the people recognize about Billo and the movie happily ends.

I'm a huge fan of multi-purpose makeup products, one of them being the Josie Maran Argan Color Sticks ($22). So when I saw a new shade pop up on the Sephora website I knew I had to have it! Coral is a beautiful peachy pink color.
If you've never tried an argan color stick before, you're missing out. This cream type product in stick form is very similar to Nars' The Multiple but creamier. You can use them as either blush or lipstick. You get tons of product in one stick so they last pretty much forever!

Turkey Pot Pie
The great thing about turkey pot pie is that it uses up so many Thanksgiving leftovers in one dish. But it's also great if you're not going to be making a big Thanksgiving meal and you want all the flavors without all the fuss. Serve this with some mashed sweet potatoes and a side of … Continue reading
Thai Red Curry Chicken Soup
After the hurricane when we came down with colds, I had an impulse to make chicken soup. But being congested, I really wanted something I could taste. I always love Asian soups, and a little spice sounded like a great idea. And it was. But next time, I won't wait to be sick to make … Continue reading
Lemon Chicken with Fresh Fettuccine
I finally got around to trying out the new pasta machine a couple weeks ago when we had some great friends over. It's a bit of a project to make fresh pasta, but it's worth it. Plus, you can add in anything you want flavor-wise, although I generally just make plain pasta because I like … Continue reading
Barbeque Pulled Chicken Sandwich
I made so much barbeque chicken, that I inevitably had a little leftover and decided that I wanted to make some pulled chicken with it. I had some tasty little brioche sliders leftover from burgers, and I added on some homemade pickles for a little crunch. I used some more of the homemade BBQ sauce … Continue reading
BBQ Chicken and Homemade Barbeque Sauce
I found it surprisingly hard to take pictures of BBQ chicken. For some reason, chicken just doesn't seem that photogenic. Plus, it took a lot of willpower to keep myself from eating it immediately. If you've never made your own BBQ sauce, you should try it next weekend. It's so much better than bottled, and … Continue reading
Stuffing and Turkey Roulade
Well, it's time for the pre-Thanksgiving round-up. After several lovely meals for the holiday, I can say I'm done with turkey until next year. Not including turkey sandwiches or ground turkey. But the whole bird…I've had enough for a while. I thought we were getting a de-boned and butterflied turkey breast from the butcher, but … Continue reading
Garlic Lemon Roast Chicken
There's nothing like the smell of a chicken roasting in the oven. If you're having people over that you want to impress, roast a chicken because it will perfume your home and it's unbelievably easy to do. I originally used to follow Julia Child's recipe from the classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking (which … Continue reading
Chicken with Porcini Mushrooms
This was a quick weeknight recipe that I created to use what little was left in the pantry. It's a little Italian like a chicken cacciatore, a little French with the vermouth and cream, definitely delicious. It ended up being my favorite dinner of the week. And with only boneless chicken breasts, it cooks really … Continue reading

Hate to be crass but porn could help. Get one (let him pick something he likes) and watch it with him. If it's the body and the idea of the baby being inside you freaking him out, he will be too distracted to be worried about those things. You might even enjoy it too, you never know.posted 02/28/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
xDadx : I got two words for u: get lost! U r not helping these poor ladies by putting your insensitive comments on here! we are trying to help ladies; U DONT KNOW WHAT ME OR ANYONE ELSE IS GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW >>>SO TAKE UR NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND STUFF THEM UP UR CRACK!!!!!!
Don't really have that problem, so Idk. My husband just grins and gets fulfilled! He says that he's helping me with stress when he has sex with me...I think that it is all about whether the guy feels comfortable rocking the bed....he needs to know that he is helping u and helping the baby by giving u good sex!

I joined JUST so I could put my thoughts in the ring here. I am a dad 2 be (first child, had 1 miscarry). I love my wife, it has NOTHING to do with looks. Actually when it comes down to it the turn off is knowledge. I know exactly what is going on in there and "down there". And frankly it grosses me out. And if I was having the same happen to me I wouldn't make my partner have sex with me. I know what comes next "you know you are going to have to deal with gross stuff like diapers and spit-up". You are right, and I can GUARANTEE that after or during any of those I won't be wanting to get groovy with my wife. So in clear, no bull. I love, am amazed by, and adore my wife. It is the fluids and other secretions that I have been educated in that are the turn off for intercourse and only intercourse.posted 01/11/2012 by xDadx
my boyfriend doesnt sex me the same way either . .it hurts me a lot.. i even cry.. before it was great, doing it daily. now im lucky if i get it once a week. i know he doesnt do this to hurt me but i also was thinking the worst. was he cheating or is it just the baby in me that turns him off. regardless, it hurts :(posted 06/23/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Sex life, romance, intimacy, affection, etc has dwindled during my pregnancy. Im about 32 weeks now and am sooo sexually frustrated its incredible. Yes my husband will have sex with me but rarely or just not as passionately as was. I try to express that I know Im really big I know that Im not myself, Im so sorry yaddi yaddi yaddi. I even went to the extreme of just giving him oral sex and going to bed (just to satisfy him and remind him of how critical and enjoyable it was to be satisfied*hint hint) I seriously can not take my relationship serious if this is where it is going. Not only that but I can not see myself telling him to love me or that Im in need of basic things that make up a relationship. If I did and he change b/c of my words I would feel like our relationship was artificial or the things he did were unnatural because I coached him in to loving me. It is frustating makes me feel so lonely etc. Am I wrong if I were to refuse sex after birth? He wont love me now.posted 08/29/2010 by isiselizabeth
can i have sex my wife she 24 weeksposted 08/14/2010 by raghavendra1
I was intimate with my husband last week. I actually got it 2 times in a week. That was a suprise! I am 34 weeks and didn't think he thought I was still pretty. He said he was just stressed and sex is'nt everything in the world a man worries about. He is kind of scared about my son being born. I have a 4 year old but he want more before the child is here. Like his car to be fixed and finances. But I told him we have everything we need. The car is being fixed and I have my car, our bills are paid and we are okay, he is not as worried. But it was spontanious when we did it. I didn't pressure him, I think when we keep doing that they feela like they have to instead of wanting to. So he came to me when I left him alone. I told him how I felt and he told me how he felt and just left it alone. He came to me when he wanted it. I felt better after that!!!!!

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 23 October 1827; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18271023-TC-AC-01; CL 4:264-268.
Edinr, 23d October 1827—
My Dear Alick,
I hope you got the Newspaper last Wednesday; and understood by it all that a long letter could have told you, namely that I had nothing to tell. This Tuesday again, according to promise I write, and with greater heart, as well as more at large; for I have now really something to say. Of myself indeed still very little; but something of our wayfaring Doctor; concerning whom in these windy times, it is in truth rather satisfactory to know that he [is] off the German ocean with whole lungs, and fairly footing the hard Earth once more. We got a letter from Rotterdam on Saturday morning; written only the Tuesday before, and apparently in as great a hurry, as it had travelled in, round by London; where also some generous "Mr Bright"1 or other, a Senator entirely unknown to me, had been at the trouble to frank it.
The Doctor, it would seem, had rather a perverse passage; now windbound, now becalmed, now blown with a speed somewhat alarming: but in the end, he had reached the Dutch coast without accident, the day before he finished his letter (Monday week); and was on Tuesday purposing to set forth on foot, with his companion Laing, to Leyden and the Hague, at one of which places he expected steamboats, or trackboats, or trowse [a flat-bottomed boat], or some rivercraft or other, to take him on to Cologne. I calculate that by this time he must be about Bonn on the Rhine, where he had a parcel of letters to deliver, and was likely to wait for a day or two. Poor Doctor! I must write to him without delay, that a letter may be lying to welcome him at Munich, when he arrives. He seems, for the mean time, in good spirits, and like to enjoy his land journey better than his sea one. He sends kindest remembrances to you and every one. I daresay I have taken a millstone from my Mother's neck by the letter I wrote off to her instantly; and which, as I compute, she must have got yesterday morning. Heaven send the gausie Doctor back to us, were it but to chop logic as in old days!
Now as to myself, I believe I may say with Attila Schmelzle that "the Professorship is taking another turn"; and that Brougham is for the present little more favourable to me than Schabacker was to that courageous Army-chaplain.2 Jeffrey did not write to me till the end of last week; and then in no very definite terms; complaining that he had still nothing decided to say. Brougham, it appears, was very shy on that matter; could not be brought to any open speech on it at all; and seemed determined till he had seen more of me to keep his mind to himself. He is gone to London two weeks ago; so that my notion of seeing him at Penrith is scattered to the winds. By Jeffrey's direction, I sent Brougham the other day a copy of the Paper I have just been writing for the Edinr Review; from which if he chooses to look he may gather some more light about me: but my own private opinion of this matter is, that for the present at least nothing more will come of it.3 Indeed Jeffrey says that Brougham's purpose seemed to be, not to appoint any Moral Philosophy Professor at all, at this time, but stick by other departments of a more practical description, till the Establishment should have settled into firmer union, and be able to stand metaphysical discussions. I think it likely myself that this may be the way of it; in which case, I may hear nothing more of the affair for many months. At all events, my name and character are now in some degree before these people, and if they want aught with me, they know my address; if they want nothing, then there is no harm done, for I am not so much as a candidate for any of their offices, having as yet only been talked of by private friends. On the whole I am still of my old mind: I really know not whether such a thing would do me good or the contrary. But Jeffrey I believe is now returned, and I am to go and see him the first dry day: if he have aught more to tell me, you shall hear of it forthwith; and in the mean time, you see, there is nothing more to be said. I believe the business is getting known here, and perhaps with you also: of course you need not spr[ead] it; but truly it could do me little ill, were it published at all t[he] market-crosses in Scotland, and at the Pier and Shore of Leith to boot.
I know not that ever weather-witch was more out than I that fatal morning,4 when I predicted that it "was not going to be so bad a day after all." A worse day, I think, has seldom appeared in this century. I hope it did not melt you altogether into water; but that you reached Scotsbrig and afterwards Craigenputtock not only in a solid but also in a safe state. Surely if you have not in your stooks, this weather will try you; for I think there was never worse for such a purpose. Today we have a perfect deluge, the Leith water "flowing like a vera Sey [underscored twice]"; and the only hope, that now certainly it must have rained itself out. I long to hear that you are all going on rightly at the Craig; your stooks under thatch, your Highlander[s] arrived in safety and liking their pasture; and all but the reek [smoke] as it was when I left you.
I rather think you will have to write to me soon: for I would fain know about our Father and his Rheumatism; and I hardly think there is any one at Scotsbrig that will write me a syllable, let matters go as they will. You will also have much to tell me of your own; at least if that visit5 to the Craig took place, which you were speaking of!— As to my visit thither, it must now be postponed into a distance of several weeks. I have a Paper6 (about the Germans again!) to write for that London Review; which I began only yesterday, and must as usual hurry to be done with; and then another long one,7 I expect, for the Edinr R. which I have yet to study as well as write.— However if you want me particularly to come sooner, say so, and I will come. Only I think it were better to be getting on as far as possible before I come; and afterwards moreover I shall have more time. Write to me as soon as you can find a spare hour; and tell me every thing that is going on, or like to go: the plastering, the roadmaking &c &c.
I am writing with the stump of an Eagle's quill, which is as hard as potmetal; so that I declare my thumb is aching as if it had the gout. Besides I am stupid as an owl.8 But I would not let the post go, knowing by experience the nature of much disappointment. Are you into the new kitchen yet; and in Heaven's name does it reek? How is Mary prospering; and dare the creature from [sic: front] the storms of winter up in these wild Dunscore Moors? Be very good to her; and assure her of my true affection; and that I will drink tea repeatedly at the Craig before the winter solstice. But I have done. Write soon, and believe me always Your Brother— T. Carlyle—
We got a Firkin and a cheese from Scotsbrig, but no letter. I think it was your hand on the Firkin? The Butter is "highly superior." Tell Mary that we have not given hers up; being great eaters (at least I) of butter; but may readily enough make a run upon her (peatreek notwithstanding) when this is done. Our potatoes are bad. Have you got any newspaper yet? Get one by all means for the long nights of winter, and plenty of Books.— When do you get servants, or have you already engaged them? Jane is not well yet, tho' not seriously ill: she is sitting reading here; and sends her best regards. I must off to the post-office now—so once more, dear Alick, I give you goodnight!

Vampire stories don't just begin in Europe believe it or not the U.S. has it share of so called 'real' vampires that are found in American history.
Mercy Brown, is our first case. She was a young girl, who in the 1890s in Rhode Island had her corpse staked and her brother had to drink her ashes (they burned her heart). They did this because he was sick and people thought that Brown was killing off her family. Really it was T.B. Strange little story that actually did happen, though it's highly doubting that Brown was really a vampire. Her family and other townspeople really did believe she was a vampire though.
The next case is about a vampire in Louisiana. Sounds like an Anne Rice novel right? Well in New Orleans lived St. Germain, supposedly in the early 1900s, he was in trouble for biting a woman. He had a fancy of mixing wine and blood. He lived in the French Quarter and to folklorists, he still lives at his house.
Third and last interesting American vampire story takes us to Wisconsin, Mineral Point to be exact. If you read my 'Weird Wisconsin: 'Mineral Point Vampire' then you may remember me writing about this. It's still a baffling case that happened in 1981. At the local cemetery, people sighted a vampire. A police officer, was one of the eyewitnesses and he described the vampire, as roughly around 6ft tall and had a pure white face.
So it just goes to show you that vampire lore doesn't happen in castles or faraway places, it could happen in your small little town. Keep you eyes open!

I see you use "C.E." dates. I assume these dates are the same as the corresponding "A.D." dates. What does C.E. stand for?

C.E. means "Common Era" which some have bastardized as the "Christian Era," which is just about right: European Christians decided they were so important that they even changed time itself to go along with their god-claim. The Muslims did pretty much the same thing.
The Common Era began about 45 years after Julius instituted his calendar; however, we did not start counting this way until a few centuries ago -- meaning that most references to the "Common Era" are back-dated. Before the change was made, though, we Europeans counted time from the alleged founding of Rome, approximately 750 B.C.E.

Did you used to work for Microsoft? Great "Microsoft answer" -- and question.
I was asking so that I could translate "your" dates into the dates the rest of the world uses (myself included), in order to understand your web site. If you're the only person you're interested in making sense of your site, it's certainly no skin off my back, but in that case why put it on the web?

Quit flattering yourself!
I use the system currently in use in most Western universities and scholarly institutions, because my audience is primarily Western. I also live in the United States, which, unlike Canada, is not a Christian nation, and thus not obligated to give insignificant gestures of lip service to The Lord, such as dating ourselves as pre-Enlightenment with the use of "A.D." instead of what the scholarly world currently uses.
Now, just translate the dates that your little religious sect uses into the dates that the rest of the Western world uses and you'll have about one-sixth to one-fourth of the world covered. So many of you Christians tend to be so arrogantly self-important, always forgetting that there exist Chinese (one-fifth of the World's population), Muslims (almost one-fifth of the world's population), Indians of various stripes, Greeks, atheists (over one-fifth of the World's adult population, but wholly intimidated through centuries of persecution to bother opposing petty injustices such as having to use a calendar which dates itself from the alleged birth of a mythical figure), Jews (almost 12 million by very liberal estimates), and many others who do not use the Jesus calendar.
Keep hammering the rest of us with your Christian arrogance and you'll serve only to give more of us that much better reason to abandon both "A.D." and "C.E." altogether so we can hurry up and institute a superior system, such as "B.P." -- perhaps during my lifetime, if I'm lucky!
Hey! How much of science has already converted to the "B.P. system?
And hey! If I'm so stupid, why do you need to translate my dates? What do you find so interesting about my web page, since you obviously don't fit the target audience?
And speaking of Microsoft, you can look up C.E. in Encarta right on the web and find out what it means for yourself if your Christian schools failed to teach you what it means. I mean, it's not my burden to provide you with a basic elementary school education.
And you didn't answer my question: What does A.D. mean?

As Salt Lake City competes for the 2016 Democratic National Convention, it is expected that Park City will have a role in the capital city's bid.
It will be the second time in four years that Park City will be involved in a bid for a national political convention after Salt Lake City's unsuccessful attempt to land the Republican gathering in 2012.
Matt Lyon, the executive director of the Utah Democratic Party, said Park City is a "great attraction" in the state. He grew up in Park City.
"I think Park City is a great asset. I hope it would be used in some way" in a bid, Lyon said, mentioning the possibility of some of the people in the state for the convention staying in Park City.
Four years ago, as Salt Lake City was unsuccessfully competing for the Republican National Convention in 2012, Park City was tapped as the bid package was put together. The bid organizers were particularly interested in the lodging properties in Park City.
The Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau at the time said the lodging industry in Park City indicated it would make approximately 3,900 rooms available. The total represented just more than 20 percent of the rooms the organizers were attempting to secure within a one-hour drive of EnergySolutions Arena, where the convention would have been held. The organizers then called Park City important to the bid.
People involved at the time said a convention would have provided a boost to the Park City economy.
Bill Malone, the president and CEO of the Park City Chamber/Bureau, said he anticipates a Park City role in a 2016 bid would be similar to the one for the GOP convention. He said he expects many convention-goers would stay in Park City.
"I think we have a certain amount of hotel rooms that would be needed," he said, adding, "Our product that's available up here, I recall they were very interested in."
Malone noted Park City's lineup of restaurants as well.
The Republican National Committee in 2010 sent a delegation to Salt Lake City as it considered sites for the convention two years later. The delegation, which included the chairman at the time, visited Park City as a part of the evaluation process. The delegation stopped at Stein Eriksen Lodge and took short bus tour of Park City on a snowy spring day.
Park City has a long history of hosting top tier political events and nationally known figures in politics.
Mitt Romney, a Park City homeowner for a second time, held gatherings in 2012 and 2013, with the one in 2012 being especially notable as he had secured the Republican White House nomination by the time of the event. Later in 2012, after Election Day, a large Democratic event was held in Deer Valley drawing the chair of the Democratic National Committee and party executives.
There has also been a series of high-profile political fundraisers in Park City during recent election cycles. Some of the figures who have visited include Barack Obama before winning the White House, Vice President Joe Biden and President Bush.

Miley Cyrus Lashes Out at Photographers Sitting in Front of Her Home
Miley Cyrus is not happy again with the paparazzi in Los Angeles.
The singer-actress, who's had clashes with overzealous photographers in the past, and even said she was "considering moving back to Nashville" because of L.A.'s "D Bag paparazzi," is once more lashing out at photographers.
On Sunday, Cyrus tweeted, "How is it legal for men I've never seen before to sit in front of my house and then follow me around! So shady and scary."
Just five days ago, an annoyed Cyrus vented, "I hate paparazzi with a passion. disgusting pigs. (no offense to pigs)."
What do you think about her paparazzi problem?

Having a smartphone has become a necessity, but so does an internet connection at home. A new study published Monday by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project found Americans adopt the use of a broadband connection in the home.
The new findings suggest an ever increasing dependence on the internet and the use of technology for every aspect of life. This nationally representative survey conducted by telephone exceeded last year's mark, which was at 66 percent of Americans who confirmed using the internet at home in 2012.
"We've consistently found that age, education, and household income are among the strongest factors associated with home broadband adoption," said Kathryn Zickuhr, Research Associate for the Pew Research Center's Internet Project and lead author of the report. "Many dial-up users cite cost and access as the main reasons they don't have broadband, but for adults who don't use the internet at all, a lack of interest is often the main issue."
So if you have a post-secondary eduaction, are a young professional with a good salary the trend is to have high speed internet. Surprisingly, the study also found that a tiny 3 percent of American adults go online via dial-up connections.
About nine out of ten college graduates prefer faster internet connections. On the other hand, 37 percent of Americans with just a high school education are likely not make use of broadband internet.
The research data gathered was the result of telephone interviews (in English and Spanish) conducted by the Princeton Survey Research Associates International. The study was between April 17 to May 19, 2013 with a sample size of 2,252 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.3 percent.

Darren Criss Delights At Toys For Tots Holiday Concert [PHOTOS & VIDEO]
Glee's Darren Criss delighted the crowd during a holiday concert at The eBay Toy Box, which gives people a new way to give to Toys For Tots yesterday (December 9, 2012) in New York City.
Darren sang a slew of Christmas favorites, even with a little Chipmunks thrown in to the mix. In the upcoming Christmas episode of Glee, Darren will be singing "White Christmas" with Chris Colfer, but it looks like Klaine fans are going to have to settle for the two of them just being friends for a while.
Glee producers have cast Oliver Kieran-Jones as a NYADA student, a glee-club leader and a potential Kurt love interest.
Kieran-Jones will come onto "Glee" in the second half of season 4 as a recurring character, Deadline.com reports. Are you bummed, or do you think that it is time for Blaine and Kurt to move on? Share you thoughts in the comments below.
Check out a few of Darren's performances from the event below.

For the fourth consecutive year, Best Friends Animal Society is sponsoring "Back in Black" – a nationwide campaign dedicated to increasing awareness and adoptions of black cats and dogs. This year's campaign will run throughout the month of May. Click here to read more about this adoption campaign.
Good Mews Animal Foundation in metro Atlanta is one of the Best Friends' No More Homeless Pets Network Partners that is participating in the "Back in Black" adoption promotion. Throughout the month of November you can adopt a black cat or a black and white cat for only $50. This a less than half of the regular $125 adoption fee and you will receive a goodie bag along with your new kitty.
Casanova is one of the many Good Mews cats available for adoption for a reduced fee during May. He is a two-year old black male domestic short hair kitty. The following is Casanova's story from the Good Mews website:
Casanova is a lover, just like his name says. He loves people and attention more than anything else in this world. His motor will start running as soon as you pick him up. And as handsome as this guy is, who can resist him?
So how did such an awesome cat end up living outside? Your guess is as good as ours. While Casanova was living outside a nice lady was feeding him. She noticed he had hairless, bloody spots on his neck and back. She could not afford to take him to the vet, so she contacted Good Mews. We knew Casanova was probably very uncomfortable so we agreed to take him in and get him the vet care he needed. Turns out he had a bad allergy, possibly to fleas. After some medication, he is doing so much better and his beautiful hair is growing back in.
Now all Casanova needs is a loving home to call his own. He is not keen on living with a lot of cats, so he would prefer to be the single man in the home, or share it with one other friendly feline.
So come by and meet Casanova and see if he melts your heart like he does ours!

Grandmaster Dejan Antic and International Master Branimir Maksimovic have written a book that will change the way chess players look at the French Defence , one of the most popular chess openings.Black players in a French Defence have sound options like undermining the White center or playing against a damaged pawn structure. Once you have really mastered the black side in the French, you possess such a powerful weapon that even strong players will think twice what to play against you.This is a complete and up-to-date book for players of all levels, with brand-new concepts in topical modern lines such as the Steinitz, McCutcheon and Morozevich Variation. Antic and Maksimovic explain strategic concepts and methods of attack, and present numerous novelties and new tactical ideas in all French main lines. But they have also developed several sidelines into deadly surprise weapons. The conclusion is clear: Black is OK in the French!
