Actor Idris Elba is all smiles because he is now the proud father of a baby boy. Elba made the special announcement via Twitter and shared the news with his over one million followers.
In an emotional post, Elba stated, "My Son Winston Elba was born yesterday..Truly Amazing :-)." He included a precious photo of his little one's tiny hand grasping his finger. Elba, 41, and his girlfriend Naiyana Garth welcomed their son, Winston Elba, on Thursday.
The Golden Globe winning actor went public with his relationship with Garth last November, and pregnancy talk soon followed. The joyous occasion was unlike the news he received in 2010 when he welcomed a child he thought was his son, but through a paternity test he later found out that he wasn't the child's father.
Elba also has an 11 year-old daughter from his marriage to Liberian actress Dormowa Sherman. He told Britain's Now Magazine that when he was struggling to find work as an actor and ended up sleeping in his car while he attempted to land an acting job, the marriage began to fall apart.
"I was going through a really tough time some years ago. I couldn't get an acting job and my marriage was in a horrible place, so I ended up homeless. I slept rough in my brown Chevrolet Astro van for eight weeks."
Today Elba is a successful DJ, actor, and producer with several Golden Globe nominations, winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor for Luther in 2012. He was named Essence Magazine's Sexiest Man of the Year in 2013 and ranked second in People's annual Sexiest Man Alive in 2013.
Elba's girlfriend Naiyana Garth is a talented freelance hair and make-up artist. Her work can be seen in publications such as Esquire, More Magazine, and Vogue.

Lieberman: Grapel's Arrest a Mistake
Foreign Minister says arrested American Israeli has no connection to Israeli intelligence, calls Egypt's actions "strange."
By Gil Ronen

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman reacted publicly Tuesday morning to the arrest in Egypt of Ilan Grapel and denied emphatically that the man is a spy.
"Speaking with absolute knowledge," he told IDF Radio, "this is a student with no connection to the Israeli intelligence establishment. This is a mistake. The Egyptians have received all the clarifications and I hope the story will end soon," he said.
Egypt is acting "strangely," the Foreign Minister added. "We gave them all of the necessary clarifications and information. When such mistakes occur on our side we take care to correct them quickly, and they too understand that this affair should be ended posthaste."
The minister expressed hope that Grapel would be released in a few days' time.
Israel has not issued a formal reaction to Grapel's arrest but diplomatic sources called the spy allegations "nonsense."

It's been nearly four months since Nicki Minaj located Roman in Moscow, and it seems we haven't gone a week since without a transmission of some sort from Ms. Minaj and/or Mr. Zolanski. But not until today have we gotten to really bear witness to the Full Roman, as Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded has now leaked in its entirety—all 19 tracks and 69 minutes of Nicki alternately getting in touch with her masculine side on hard-hitting tracks courtesy of Hit-Boy and Da Internz and shooting for the stars with her Top 40-baiting RedOne and Dr. Luke cuts.
Join us as we do our track-by-track analysis of Roman Reloaded, separating the "Super Bass"es from the "Did It On 'Em"s. Track one up first, with eighteen more to come throughout the day. Rejoice, good people: Pink Friday has come early this year.
Track 1: "Roman Holiday"
Sounds Like: An intro track to a '70s prog rock-style concept album. "Take your medication, Roman / Take a short vacation, Roman / You'll be OK / You need to know your station, Roman." It's not really a fully-formed song, as we heard when Nicki inexplicably performed it at the Grammys earlier this year, but rather an opportunity for Nicki to introduce the Roman character and just sound generally unhinged for four minutes, setting the tone for the craziness sure to follow.
Pros: Nicki does do a good job of sounding mentally unstable, which lends a certain credence to lyrics like "Cause my flow's the sickest / And I'm a lunatic / And this can't be cured with no Elixir" and "Witch, twitch, bitch! / Godmother's right, this is World War 6." The verses also have a strong, tense energy to them, thanks to some sparse production and well-deployed rattling sound effects.
Cons: The whole thing is more weird and disorienting than anything, and the songs that follow don't exactly do much to make sense out of it in retrospect. It's impossible to tell at what points Nicki is supposed to be Roman, when she's possessed by Roman, when she's talking to Roman, and when she forgets about Roman altogether. That'd be OK if "Holiday" was more interesting, but the hook is largely non-existent, and Nicki's nanny-voiced braying on the chorus gets very irritating by song's end.
Roman Rating: 10/10. The natural sequel to Pink Friday's "Roman's Revenge," though even that song was a lot less overwhelming in its Zolanksism.
WTF Moment?: Tie between the bridge's dip into "O Come All Ye Faithful" (??) and the couplet "Quack quack to a duck and a chicken too / And put the hyena in a weekend zoo." (Yes, "Starships" is on this same record.)

If there is one issue that binds today's legislators with our counterparts who served more than two centuries ago, it's finding ways to improve Kentucky's roads.
It may come as a surprise to some, although I don't know who, that there is a local election coming up in May.
Even if you don't know that in Kentucky election years changed a few years back so that county races all fall at the same time, you surely have seen all the 'VOTE FOR ME' signs.
The idea behind moving elections was to save counties money by not having to have some sort of local election and possibly a primary every year.
What it has created is a muddle of election signs all at one time.
Some mornings ... well, let's just say that there are mornings that can start so badly that its better to have tea in the office than coffee.
There are many moments in the legislative process when planning gives way to action.
1. "Haste makes waste," e.g.
6. Helicopter landing
9. Deadly slitherers
13. Bad car
14. Pub offering
15. Do this or forever hold your peace
16. Say pretty please
17. Junior's junior
18. Down and out
19. *Sweet number in March
21. *Point and shooting players
23. Coltrane's woodwind
24. Not in favor of
25. Final, abbr.
28. Essen basin
30. Firstborn
35. Story part
37. Plenty
39. 6 in 1/6
In my 35-plus years of covering government meetings, I have to say I left one last week that had me scratching my head and wondering what in the world just happened? What was the purpose of the meeting?
Oh yeah, it's an election year and we're talking political posturing at its best, or worst, however you want to look at it.
The Cynthiana City Commission held a special meeting last Wednesday with three items on the agenda.
1. Discussion on future of downtown Cynthiana
During an interview I had with Nell Anne Gossett and Jody Hendricks, the co-directors of the upcoming Steel Magnolias production, Gossett turned the tables on me.
She was curious about my impressions of Cynthiana since joining the Democrat.
As we welcome March at the capitol, we will see some of the legislature's biggest issues – like the state's biennial budget – brought to the forefront. For us, March brings late nights and hard decisions as we work to reach a consensus on the most fiscally-responsible way to keep our state moving forward.
Senate members have been following the House's work on the budget closely, meeting with state budget officials and preparing for when budget legislation is delivered to our chamber.
FRANKFORT – With this year's legislative session passing the halfway point last week, the pace of legislation moving between the House and Senate is set to pick up significantly in the days ahead.

The recent Supreme Court gun rights decision is seen by analysts as a major loss for gun rights activists who argue that the Second Amendment of the Constitution, the right to keep and bear arms, supersedes any state or local law. On Monday, The Associated Press explained that the Supreme Court let stand New Jersey's requirement that gun owners demonstrate a justifiable need in order to carry firearms in public, turning away another case over whether Americans have a constitutional right to be armed outside the home.
CNN also shared insight on the Supreme Court gun rights decision and their report stated that the justices without comment let stand a state law which mandates that local police and a judge first approve such gun permits. As explained by The Christian Science Monitor, the law defines justifiable need as "the urgent necessity for self-protection, as evidenced by specific threats or previous attacks which demonstrate a special danger to the applicant's life that cannot be avoided by means other than by issuance of a permit to carry a handgun."
Some NJ residents labeled the law as being unconstitutional and four gun owners in the state, backed by 19 states and several advocacy groups, insist that the measure is a violation of their Second Amendment rights.
The outcome made it clear that the Second Amendment is binding and "applies equally to both the federal government and the states."As explained by some correspondents, the decision represents a boost to efforts to reduce the role of firearms in American life.
The right to bear arms has been one of the issues that have created divisions in the social, political and legal level in the United States. An estimated 90 million people in the U.S. have about 200 million guns. It is estimated that the country has the highest rate of gun ownership by civilians in the world. Gun deaths have averaged 80 per day, including 34 killings, according to U.S. government statistics.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- The Oregon Ducks picked up a big victory on the road in California on Thursday afternoon, beating the No. 67 San Francisco Dons, 4-3.
For the Ducks (12-6), the win allowed them to match last year's win total and also gave them their second victory over a ranked team this season (they beat No. 55 Denver in March). San Francisco fell to 11-7.
Oregon won all three doubles matches to start the day, giving them a 1-0 lead. Patricia Skowronski and Nicole Long teamed up for their 13th win of the season, an 8-6 win over Andrea Ka and Sofia Holmberg in the No. 1 match. Julia Metzger and Pascale Neubert outlasted Yurie Hashiguchi and Milica Hadzi-Tanovic in a tie breaker, 8-7 (5), to seal the point in the No. 2 match and Sofia Hager and Brooke Hughes beat Brooke Irish and Marina Nikolic in the No. 3 match, 8-6.
In singles play, No. 102 Long dropped a tough 6-4, 7-5 battle to No. 78 Ka but Skowronski and Metzger each won in the No. 2 and No. 3 matches, respectively. In fact, it was Metzger's 6-3, 6-3 win over Hadzi-Tanovic that gave the Ducks their fourth point of the day to seal the victory.
Lana Buttner posted the other singles win for Oregon, handling Hashiguchi in the No. 6 match, 6-1, 6-3.
Oregon will have little time to celebrate its 4-3 triumph, though. Tomorrow (April 5), the Ducks stay in the Bay Area for a 1:30 p.m. match at California and they wrap up the road trip with a 12 p.m. match at Stanford. Live video coverage is available for the California match. It can be accessed by clicking here.

Kings of Leon opened their Mechanical Bull Tour at the Xfinity Center on the perfect summer night with their latest single "Supersoaker". As the colorful spotlights shined onto the fans, their senses were overloaded with breathtaking projections that were easily mistaken for a well-edited and well-orchestrated concert video.
"It's official you guys are the best crowd on this tour so far." -Caleb Followill, front man of Kings of Leon.
The crowd roared so loud at one point that the Kings were unable to continue and were left standing, just smiling in awe. Throughout the show cameras were strewn across the stage. In high definition members of the band were blown up ten feet tall, nearly as large as their presence.
At times the video show expressed the presence of the audience, yet it also enforced a shared reality where everyone was treated to the same highlights, the same angles, the same cuts, they could truly live a live music video in the making.
Fans were spoiled with an hour and fifty minute set list but they were in for still another treat. As Kings of Leon played the opening chords of The Pixies' "Where Is My Mind" the crowd was ecstatic- smiling and crying out in pure joy.
Every song in the set showcased a different film for the fans to view filled with live overlay effects including grey and gradient filters to blended into the time period highlighted. This show was truly a once in a life time experience that the fans will never forget. Kings of Leon left a lasting impression in the ears, eyes, and hearts of the audience.

I do try to eat healthy...to balance our meals and include natural goodness rather than have to take vitamins and other additives to keep us well. But the truth is...I really don't know which foods are good for what. Oh sure, I've heard the terms...antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and how important it is to have fibre, good fat, protein, vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals in my diet...but where do I find them...other than in a bottle of pills!?
The Healthiest Meals on Earth by Jonny Bowden, not only has great recipes, but explains that elusive "WHY?" and even better...HOW these healthy elements work in our bodies. All in an easy to follow manner that doesn't hurt my brain.
The book is not presented like most cookbooks...don't worry there are tons of great dishes created by Jeannette Bessinger. One term you'll hear often is "polymeal" which basically is a "perfect" meal, containing all the elements I mentioned above and the book is laid out to highlight that theory. I'll leave the explaining to Dr Bowden, he does it so well.
Section One - Four course polymeals, has 10 chapters , each one focusing on one specific ...fabulous fibre, hunter-gatherer's delight, omega star...and so on. Let me give you an example....Omega Star chapter focuses on salmon and other healthy fats from the sea. True, I knew about omega 3 fatty acids, but I didn't know there were two types...DHA & EPA or that it benefits the heart and brain AND improves mood and behavior. There are actually four pages of information before we get to the recipe.
There are also two other sections in the book...the One Pot Polymeal with simple sides, (especially wonderful for those who love the idea of one dish to prepare and serve with a simple side and dessert - not in the one pot, naturally), and Delicious Drinks: the liquid polymeal...each section has more valuable information and delicious recipes for everything from sangria to detox drinks and super juices.
Salmon with Tamari-Orange Marinade
Truth-be-told, I probably won't follow all the rules or stick to individual menus, but I certainly will be eating better. I served my salmon with ....
Yellow Beans with Pomegranate Mint Dressing (pomegranate juice protects against heart disease and cancer, and for the guys out there...a natural viagra, apparently).
Lunch today was Raw Spinach Soup that doesn't just taste wonderful, it will defend against cholesterol, cancer and diabetes...pretty awesome and if I don't tell anyone, they'll just enjoy the flavors.
Oh...and did I mention two superstar ingredients to keep us all healthy? Wine and chocolate and there are lots of delicious ideas for those in the book too.

I get lost in my job.
What does it mean?
- I get immersed in my work so deeply even the outside world seems to cease to exist (because I'm concentrating so much on what I'm doing). (Which sounds kind of positive, in general.)
- Even though I concentrate on my job as much as I can (not paying attention to the outside world), I can't really solve some problems in my work. (Which implies strong negative feelings).
I think the first one's correct, but I need confirmation and/or correction, please.

Females tend to be significantly smaller than males on the eastern side of the Atlantic
Belugas tend to eat about 2.5% to 3% of their body weight per day, which is approximately 18
to 27 kilograms. They eat octopus, squid, crabs, shrimp, clams, snails, sandworms and fishes such as, cod, herring and flounder.
Mating happens in the spring. Females have calves every two to three years. They migrate to
warmer, shallower waters to calve. The young are dark gray, but they become lighter in colour
with age. The mother's milk is squirted in the calf's mouth.

The New Orleans Saints will enter Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers shorthanded at linebacker.
The Saints have ruled starting weakside linebacker David Hawthorne (hamstring) and his backup Jonathan Casillas (neck) out for the game at Lambeau Field. The two will join reserve defensive end Turk McBride (ankle) as the three players who have been ruled out.
No other Saints players were on the injury report released Friday.
The injuries to Hawthorne and Casillas leave the Saints with just five healthy linebackers. But Saints interim coach Aaron Kromer said the team should be able to withstand the depth issue.
"Obviously, health at linebacker always is a factor because those guys do so many things," Kromer said. "They not only are linebackers but they are special teams players, so it wears thin. We've had this throughout the year in the last three games. Obviously, we dress six at times, but we dressed five the first week. But we just have to deal with it. We just have to overcome it."
Having so few healthy linebackers could put a strain on the Saints' defensive packages and special teams units, especially if the Saints suffer an injury during the game.
"Any time you are down a man it's going to put strain on somewhere," Kromer said. "And as the game goes on it's harder and harder on those guys."
Will Herring, who started two games last season, is expected to replace Hawthorne in the starting lineup. Scott Shanle will remain in his strong-side linebacker position and Curtis Lofton will be the middle linebacker.
Herring, who entered last week's 27-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in base defensive packages after the injuries to Hawthorne and Casillas, has recorded two tackles this season.
"I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge," Herring said. "We have a few guys down, but when your number is called you have to be ready. Since I have been brought here I have been playing sporadically, waiting for my number to be called."
Barrett Ruud and Ramon Humber, who was reinstated this week after serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy, will serve as the backups.
"I'm looking forward to getting out there a lot," Humber said. "I was out for three games so I'm looking forward to getting on the field and helping this team win."
The Saints' linebacker corps has been hit hard by injury. They also lost free agent acquisition Chris Chamberlain in the preseason with a knee injury. And middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma is on the physically-unable-to-perform list while rehabbing a knee injury.
The ailments at linebacker have the Saints in an unenviable situation, Shanle said.
"It's not ideal, but we wouldn't be the first team to have to do it," Shanle said. "I guess you'll have to tell everybody not to get hurt, I guess.
"When you are a 4-3 defense there are those games when injuries happen. We kind of ran into that early this year. That's just the way the game goes."
While the Saints are thin at linebacker, the team likely will get a break because the Packers use a lot of three- and four-receiver formations, eliminating the need to have three linebackers on the field at a time.
"Week in and week out, so far this year we have seen a lot of 11 (one running back, one tight end) personnel," Shanle said. "That's the way the game is going. Especially having a four-man line, the stress on having linebackers on the field every play isn't like we used to be, especially with the teams we have faced."
Meanwhile, only one Green Bay player is expected to miss the game. The Packers have ruled out safety Sean Richardson (hamstring) after he missed the entire week of practice.
Six Packers are listed as probable: tackle Bryam Bulaga (knee), receiver Greg Jennings (groin), linebacker Jamari Lattimore (ankle), defensive end Jerel Worthy (shoulder), tight end Tom Crabtree (shoulder) and running back James Starks (toe) all were listed as probable.
And cornerback Davon House (shoulder) is questionable.

Full, Completely Irrelevant, List Of Banks That Will Pass The Next European Stress Test
- Printer-friendly version
- Apr 8, 2011 7:26 AM
- 19
good interview with market commentator peter grandich on the financial condition of the u.s., gold, silver, equity market: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XtH28M3Bbc
Hypo Real Estate, you must be joking...
Good job Allied Irish is in there, I'd hate to think they might not have been properly tested.
I'm stressed just thinking about it...
Good point H - Stress Testing Allied Irish is like stress testing a cadaver & lying about the fact that it even has a PULSE -
all the breaking strain of a damp Kleenex...
Raise intereset rates, home prices fall, bank assets base declines....get ready for wave 2
Exactly who is the EU doing this kabuki theatre for anyway?? So CNBC commentators don't have to feel guilty as they are telling Mr. and Mrs. America to throw their last dime into some garbage ETF?? I mean who exactly is going to buy this horse shit??? Is this so Cramer can claim he wasn't the only jackass pulling numbers out of his ass?
I knew it was all real when I saw Royal Bank of Scotland in there.
A fine institution if ever there was one...not.
Dexia and KBC in Belgium is an old joke, unless something magical has happened to books. Landesbank in Germany supposedly dicy on RE Spain/Ireland, but who knows details so well hidden. As BNP -Paribas probably the most exposed frog for same reasons. Deutsche bank ???
Ask the Oracle of Omaha-Obama, he knows all, like Soros of Bretton Woods, NH. Unfortunately the EU countries do have command economies in vital state run sectors like energy where price is a pipe-dream that can be reprogrammed at the drop of a king/queen's hat.
The next crash is unforeseeable. They are all unforeseeable. See?
It's all good. No, it's all Great.
And unforeseeable.
Well, the Greatness is foreseeable. It's the bad stuff that's unforeseeable. See?
any idea how those and not other banks were chosen ???
If the banks were required to mark to market on their RE loans in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain...etc.. for starters they would be no need to stressless test already failwed banks. Much of this is a perception and paperwork act to fall back on to prevent lawsuits and the public ire. In other words: " See, we even stress tested, how could we havew known". The Perception is reality Ponzi goes on and on and on, ad infinitum, but it keeps the lawyers and accountants busy.
The real farcical aspect of the last round of stress tests was that the market reacted positively to the results . I remember trading the euro crosses at the time and thinking to myself " man , these tests are a complete joke , there's no way investors are going to swallow this contrived tripe ." How wrong I was . Confidence was restored ( at least for a while ) and the euro carried on upwards . Of course their true worth was exposed only months later when the entire Irish banking sector had to be nationalised .
The real reason it is irrelevant is the usury/sinecurist class that did not earn the money but inherited it or printed it. The ability to bury their wealth around the world is symptom of political graft ( include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism,patronage, and embezzlement). Notice UBS and Credit Suisse on the list? Nonsense will end as will the FED. The only question left is what will replace it. It has been a very interesting week Steinhardt , Trump, shutdown, BLS counting problem, and the spin masters fighting transparency.
They're just following the U.S. model. It worked a couple times, might as well abuse it 'til it's useless anymore.
exactly...screw the Euro banks though, they're just as dumb if not dumber than us
I don't think there is anyone in the entire US that doesn't already know the 11th hour stick save is coming tonight for the budget. S&P gets ramped today +15 or better, then on Monday after the stick save is announced tonight, they push it up another +40 up to the 1400 level
Benny has planned this from the start. I mean really the amount of money Congress is supposedly fussing over is like me and you fighting over a $5 bill. WTF? It's all planned drama for the stawk mawket as Bawney Fwank wud say.
soap op·er·a
Noun: A television or radio drama series dealing typically with daily events in the lives of the same group of characters.
Since Portugal wasn't supposed to fail according their "thinking" when the model for round 2 was released, why even bother running the tests if they have not updated the model to reflect lessons learned from their failure on Portugal?
Alternatively, if the ECB wanted to publicaly admit to its fetish for lying to the public... wait ... never mind.
What are the points of these tests anyway? they sure as hell didn't prove anything with Ireland and don't look to be doing anything useful here either. what a sham.

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is a voracious plant-eating pest that is damaging fruit, vegetable, and ornamental crops in North America. BMSB was accidentally imported from Asia to North America in the late 1990s. The earliest sightings were in Allentown, PA. This bug quickly became a nuisance pest, overwintering in homes, office buildings, sheds, warehouses and in wooded areas. With few natural predators and an abundance of food sources, the invasive insect spread quickly. By 2004 the stink bug was widely identified on farms and in forests. In 2010, the invader caused catastrophic damage in many mid-Atlantic states, with some growers of sweet corn, peppers, tomatoes, apples, and peaches reporting total losses that year. In 2011 the stink bug continued to present season-long and significant problems for growers in that region. Sightings and trap captures of BMSB have been increasing in states to the north as well.
Extension scientists in NY and MA have been setting out traps baited with pheromones for 2-3 years, with fairly sporadic, low numbers of captures (more in NY in 2012). In the early years of an area's invasion, the most sightings and captures come from private dwellings, sheds, roadsides, and automobiles. The insect populations build up for a few years in the woods, feeding on seeds and fruits (any source of carbohydrate or protein) and move into crop lands later in the season as they exhaust food supplies where they are. In Fall 2012, a few were trapped in peaches in Hampden County, MA, near Springfield, and others were sighted near-by in apples. In May 2013, using an improved pheromone being developed by the USDA, entomologists in the NY Hudson Valley have trapped higher numbers in the edges of woods next to tree fruit. In MA we are expanding our network of trapping sites and will be using the improved pheromone.
Trap captures will be a good indication of BMSB activity in the environment of the orchard edge, but they are not yet reliable indicators of insect damage in the crop. Direct observation of bugs and feeding damage is necessary for that. Scouting in peaches and cherries (and later in apples, sweet corn, peppers) at the wooded edges of fields is recommended. The robust qualities of BMSB and the ecological niches in which they are thriving here make them very hard to kill with reduced-risk insecticides. A return to harsher chemicals has been necessary in many agricultural settings. An extensive team of scientists is studying stink bug behavior in order to deploy sustainable controls such as traps and lures, biopesticides, and natural enemies against BMSB.

Hugh Jackman in Real Steal, 'It's About Believing in Yourself'
Real Steel is the latest, unique movie from Hollywood that features a grizzled up man (Hugh Jackman) who gets in touch with his girly-side to teach a tough lesson to his son and all the other lost children of the world. That's one mullet and mascara away from sounding like a Black Veiled Bride CD cover insert.
Hugh Jackman is in denial, but his purpose in life is to play Wolverine. He's short, cranky, has a bad haircut and looks very Canadian. He grunts when he talks and has a unique penchant for saying, "Bub" with just the right amount of gruff. If there were a Lifetime Achievement Award for actors who specialize in memorable one-liners, I'd put Jackman's "Bub" right up there with Keanu Reeve's "Whoa!".
I've been tasked to see the premier of this movie and I gladly skipped it for a round of sodas at Johnny Rocket's. I'm guessing I did not miss out on too much. If I wanted to watch robots help me get in touch with my softer, gentler side, I'd turn on Terminator or the original transformers movie, where Michael Dukakis and Walter Mondale probably laid out some conspiracy with the Soviet Gang of Eight.
If you like keeping your money and don't want to end up in a communist bread line, don't see this movie. It's a waste and is the type of tripe that's typifying America mediocrity. That's to say, force Hollywood to compete and create good movies.

Over the past several months we have seen the FHA offering many opportunities for refinancing to take advantage of the record low interest rates. People who already have an FHA mortgage should take note of recent developments to find out if they qualify to refinance under new Mortgage Insurance Premium programs.
Beginning on June 11th, 2012, FHA will be offering streamline refinances with an Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) of just 0.01%; for example if doing an FHA Streamline refinance on a $400,000 FHA loan, you would only pay $40 for the UFMIP. This is a HUGE savings and will enable many homeowners to take advantage of the record low rates that are currently available without having to increase their loan amount with the usual 1.75% UFMIP charge.
With rates well below 4%, it may still be worth looking into refinancing even if you don't meet the criteria for the discounted UFMIP and Monthly MI rates. Lender credits are available in many instances to make this refinance process cost little to nothing out of pocket for the homeowner. There are also refinancing options that can be done without needing an appraisal.
For more information contact a lending expert in your area.
Thanks to Todd Pede at First Home Mortgage for providing expertise and details for this post.

Given this harmless little list:
>>> lst = ['o','s','s','a','m','a']
My goal is to pythonically concatenate the little devils using one of the following ways:
A. plain ol' string function to get the job done, short, no imports
>>> ''.join(lst)
B. lambda, lambda, lambda
>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, lst)
C. globalization (do nothing, import everything)
>>> import functools, operator
>>> functools.reduce(operator.add, lst)
Please suggest other pythonic ways to achieve this magnanimous task.
Please rank (pythonic level) and rate solutions giving concise explanations.
In this case, is the most pythonic solution the best coding solution?

Husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, Apollo Nida will face prison time. Nida plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. The United States Justice Department released a statement on May 6.
There has been some speculation surrounding Nida's future as news broke in recent months that Nida has scammed people out of millions of dollars. According to the Department of Justice, Nida was the head of a scheme that targeted 50 people and totaled over $2 million in losses.
Beginning in 2009 35-year-old Nida, with the help of others conspired to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud. There were also a slew of stolen checks acquired in the scheme, including checks from the pension fund of Delta Airlines, and U.S Treasury checks.
Nida and his team also filed fraudulent tax returns including making false claims against HUD. Nida stole the identity of victims in nearly a dozen states.
Nida and his team tactfully opened bank accounts in the victim's names once their identities were stolen. One of the members of Nida's "team", Gayla St. Julien was arrested in the Fall of 2013. St. Julien named Nida as a co-conspirator which led to his initial arrest in recent months.
Nida served a 5 years sentence beginning in 2004 for racketeering and theft. Nida is facing up to 30 years in prison for his involvement in the scheme. Nida's sentencing will commence in July.
Parks and Nida have been married since November of 2009 and have two small children together. Parks is an entertainment lawyer in Atlanta. Parks is known for her extravagant events, usually centered around her children.
Parks recently released a book detailing her life as a southern bell. Secrets of the Southern Belle: How to Be Nice, Work Hard, Look Pretty, Have Fun, and Never Have an Off Moment was released in November of 2013.

I'm really loving "preppy" this fall, and it's influencing not only my wardrobe, but my fall decorating. And that kinda got me thinking again about how fashion and decorating go hand in hand. They're like BFF's living next door to each other on the same classy street. So, for all of you fall fashionistas out there who are pinning your fingers to the bone on Pinterest, remember you can dress up your house using the same inspiration.
Just to prove my point, I put together this little preppy fall outfit on Pinterest because it's totally something I would wear...
And since I have very similar pieces already in my closet, you might even see me in this this fall.
Using the same preppy vibe, I put together my new fall wreaths which are now happily hanging on my doors.
See the similarities?
Maybe a little different than the traditional colors of the season, but still decidedly "Fall".
And so super-easy, they were done in 10 minutes.
I started with bare grapevine wreaths (I just stripped mine down from last year. You can use these over and over again!), along with some great navy chevron burlap ribbon, some teal grosgrain ribbon, and a couple bunches of fall mums from Hobby Lobby.
Then, I made the bow from the chevron. If you've never made these, here are the 3 easy steps...
First, I looped the ribbon into 4 layers...
Then, pinched them together in the middle and twisted a little floral wire around it...
Then I cut one more length of ribbon and tied it over the center to create the knot and tails!
Then, I just wired it onto the wreath.
Next, I cut the stems from the flower bunches with wire cutters and just stuck them in around the bow.
I also added in a little green grass I had from my old wreath, just to add a little more texture.
So, the doors are officially dressed for fall. More preppy fall fun to come.
If you'd like to see my fall wreaths from previous years, click here, here, and here!
I'll share this post with a few of these friends. Check them out!

Corey Clark, the former "American Idol" contestant who claimed an affair with Paula Abdul has been charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend in a hotel room.
Clark was given a summons for a misdemeanor domestic assault charge and released.
Clark got the boot from "American Idol" two years ago for failing to tell producers that he had been arrested in Kansas for assaulting his sister and fighting with police. He later claimed an affair with Abdul, one of the judges on the program, which she denies.

Karylle and Yael Yuzon have finally tied the knot yesterday, March 21, 2014 while the fans and supporters of actor-TV host Vhong Navarro, who is now facing two rape charges filed by Roxanne Cabanero and Deniece Cornejo, were busy posting important updates in their social media accounts.
Several days ago, a report from ABS-CBN News regarding the elevation of the Vhong Navarro-Cedric Lee-Deniece Cornejo case to the Court of Appeals has become one of the hottest issues online. Followers of the case got mad when they heard the Court of Appeals' released order, according to them, the preliminary investigation being conducted by the three-man panel of the Department of Justice should not be interrupted.
Aside from the netizens who are very much eager to know the result of the investigation, Tony Calvento, a very brave Filipino journalist and supporter of Vhong Navarro, also shared his opinion in the Court of Appeals issued order. He said the fans and supporters of Vhong must be vigilant because Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo and several personalities involved in the mauling incident are now doing everything to delay the resolution of the case.
Since day one, Tony Calvento has never failed to give important updates on the issue to his Facebook followers. He became their number one source of information. This morning, he surprised everyone. He posted interesting updates in the Vhong Navarro case. Based on his updated post, the DOJ has already resolved the issue and is planning to release the final resolution of the case very soon.
"To the thousands of friends of Vhong Navarro, stay with him. It won't be long. Believe me. Things will happen very quickly and you'll be very busy visiting several sites. The long delay is part of a strategy, 'dilatory tactics' which is a legal remedy. Enough to say that the legal system is in place here and it might look it's grinding slowly, but it's grinding surely. I will post the resolutions on this page for all of you who have waited so patiently. Which ever way it goes," he said.

Here are five items on my holiday shopping list this year:
1. Harmony Creek Soap. Using an old-fashioned cold process method to craft their soap in small batches, Harmony Creek Farm combines high quality olive, coconut or palm oils with various fragrances to make dozens of varieties of soap. Their soap is also good for the planet, containing no petroleum products or animal fats. They pre-wrap bars in decorative paper, which are perfect stocking stuffers or hostess gifts. They even make soap for dogs! My favorite soap? The Eucalyptus Mint.
Harmony Creek Farm, Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market.
2. A Subscription to Compost Cab: Give the gift of compost, minus the hassle. Compost Cab runs a weekly home compost collection service in the city. For $8/week for residential services, they�ll provide you (or your loved one) with a compost bin, instructions and a weekly pick up to make composting easy and convenient. Then they take your compostables to one of their nearby not-for-profit urban farm partners, where they�re transformed into the fertile soil needed to grow food in the city. Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market.
3. Solitude Wool Yarn: For the knitter in your family, Solitude Wool makes
and dyes some of the most beautiful sheep and alpaca yarn around all from animals raised on their farm or other farms in the Chesapeake Bay region.
Solitude Wool, Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market
4. Floradise Orchids: Floradise will be selling at the Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market until the Sunday forecast drops below 40 degrees. Buy your orchid now as a gift for later.
5. Market Dollars: Market dollars are like gift certificates and can be used like cash at any FRESHFARM Market. They�re the perfect gift for the farmers market fan or local food lover who would prefer to buy their favorite products at market. To order, email email@example.com or call 202.362.8889.
Happy Holidays!

The Belzona III, a 100 foot steel tug boat sunk in June of 1991 and rests a long but manageable swimming distance of the Belzona II. The two vessels used to be within visible site of each other, but no longer are due to the force of Hurricane Andrew.
This Tug Boat has been somewhat covered with its surrounding sand, and much of its bow is now hidden, due to various storms over the last nine years. The wreck is covered with growth and it is easy to go inside both the pilot house and the engine area, making it an excellent dive for students or recently certified divers. Barracudas enjoy the shade of the interior compartments, while a school of tarpon can often be seen on the verge of visibility circling the ship.
Rebar had been installed at one time so that divers can safely travel from one ship to the other, but be careful if you start your dive here, as you will more than likely be swimming against the northerly current on your way back at the end of your dive.
The Belzona Three is located at Loran coordinates Lattitude 25 41' 10.0" Longitude 80 5' 13.2"

You need to get under it with a hobby knife or a finger nail, and pry it off. Its a long and dirty task, but it can be done.
Welcome to warsee....
oh wait, you've been around since November, last year so you should know that there's a Modelling, Painting and Terrain General Discussions section where this thread actually belongs, where people asked the same before and where other users will get you more helpful replies than mine. Maybe if you ask a mod nicely, he will move this thread where it belongs.
On the other topic....either use a knife or, in the case of metal models, you can throw them into acetone or something of similar "sharpness" that dissolves plastic. It will get rid of the GS, probably it will fall off first, then get softer and eventually dissolves.
Or maybe one will come across it and move it to M, P&T General anyway...
Thread moved
The Warseer Inquisition
If you don't mind loosing any paint on the mini and it doesn't contain plastic parts you can drop it in some Nitromoors - do a search though for the use of Nitromoors on some hobby forums - as it is awful stuff if you get it on your skin, it can also easily destroy drains etc. in your sink so do some research as to A/ how to use it safely and B/ how to dispose of it afterwards. Otherwise get a decent sized thick-ish pin (like used for sewing) and pick it out, once you get under certain areas you'll find it will come awy in decent sized pieces, but don't let that fool you it will be a long job to do properly. If it's a flat-ish are you are talking about a craft knife is your friend, but see above for final finishing method.

Feature - Running for Andy

Running for Andy

66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
4/20/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- Running the Boston Marathon each Patriots Day is a dream for many local long distance runners, especially for Ray Phillips, a cost price analyst with Electronic Systems Center Contracting and veteran of a dozen marathons, who just wasn't fast enough to qualify for the mid-April race.
Fortunately for Mr. Phillips, more than ten years ago he was given a chance to fulfill his dream and is still doing so today.
"I was given an opportunity to run the marathon via a time-waivered entry provided by Children's Hospital Boston through the Hanscom Federal Credit Union. They agreed to sponsor a runner by raising funds for the hospital," said Mr. Phillips.
Children's Hospital has a Patient Partner Program that pairs runners with patients afflicted with an illness who are being seen there.
"My main focus was that I would have an opportunity to run the Boston Marathon," Mr. Phillips said. "The patient partner thing was secondary."
It was when Mr. Phillips met Andy Martin, an inspiring 4-year-old boy confined to a wheelchair, born with spina bifida, at a Children's Hospital marathon team kickoff reception in December of 1999 that his reason for running the marathon would change. It marked the beginning of a 14 year project to help Andy achieve his goal of crossing the finish line in Kenmore Square as a wheelchair entrant.
"The defining moment for me was at the reception," Mr. Phillips said. "Andy seemed deep in thought. He looked up at me and said, 'Ray, are you running the Boston Marathon for me?' It was then that it was no longer about me. It was about Andy, his family, the marathon team, Children's Hospital and the people supporting my fundraising."
After meeting Andy at the reception, Mr. Phillips felt inspired by him and his positive spirit
"That positive energy carried over into my training runs," he said. "Running seemed much easier."
On one of his long training runs, Mr. Phillips was trying to determine a way to best dedicate the marathon to his new teammate.
"I thought, maybe I could write something on my shirt like, 'I'm running for Andy.' Then I thought, since he was carrying me during the race via his inspiration, it would only be appropriate to reciprocate it and carry him part of the way so we could cross the finish line together," Mr. Phillips said.
However, with strict Boston Athletic Association rules about vehicles, bicycles, strollers or roller blades on the marathon course, Mr. Phillips reasoned that if he carried Andy on his back for the final 600 yards, he wouldn't be violating any rules.
After speaking with Andy's father about his plan, Mr. Martin told Mr. Phillips about a backpack that Andy could ride in and look over his shoulder as they crossed the finish line together.
"This sounded like a terrific idea," said Mr. Phillips. "We tried it out prior to the marathon and it worked great."
With a photo button of Andy affixed to his shirt and "Team Andy" written down each leg to serve as a reminder that Andy would meet him at the top of Boylston Street and run the final 600 yards on his back, Mr. Phillips was ready.
"The crowd support and Andy's photo served to keep me focused on my mission by reminding me that my patient partner was waiting for me near the finish line and this inspired me to stay strong when my legs became tired and sore," he said.
During the first marathon, the exchange was not quite as smooth as expected, however, it wasn't long until 4-year-old Andy was soon on Mr. Phillips' back, beaming with pride as spectators cheered when they approached the finish line.
"When Andy was placed on my back for our dash toward the finish line, the extra weight (about 50 pounds) was a little more than I had bargained for," said Mr. Phillips. "The best that I could manage was a shuffle, although spiritually my feet felt like they never touched the ground. Making it across the finish line together was an incredibly joyous and emotional experience."
Typically, after crossing the finish line, volunteers scurry around to provide mylar blankets, offer water and place medals around the neck of each finisher.
"A volunteer stopped us and started to place the medal around my neck," Mr. Phillips said. "But since Andy's inspiration carried me for the entire race and I just carried Andy a short distance, it seemed much more appropriate that the medal should go to Andy."
Soon after the marathon, the two families got together to celebrate. Mr. Martin told Mr. Phillips a race day story about Andy, bundled in blankets in his wheelchair patiently waiting for Mr. Phillips to appear.
As the sound of the crowd grew louder, they cheered for the wheelchair entrants as they screamed by towards the finish line. Elated that he, too, could run the Boston Marathon, Andy excitedly declared to his parents that he wanted to do that next year.
Unfortunately, this was a little ambitious for a 4 year old and not possible with the minimum age requirements, but Andy, after a little disappointment, rationalized it was ok. It would give him more time to train.
"Andy's optimistic attitude has made quite a positive impact on me," said Mr. Phillips. "He's been a real source of inspiration to me in many ways."
The two teammates have crossed the finish line together every year since that first race in 2000 - including this past Monday -- despite broken femurs and kidney or urinary tract infections.
"We pledged to each other that we would cross the finish line at every Boston Marathon together until it's his turn when he's 18 years old in 2014," Mr. Phillips said. "His commitment to being a wheelchair entrant is stronger than ever, and he has been training in his racing wheelchair to make what was once a dream, a reality."

Nice story about doing for others. Best wishes to Ray and to Andy and good luck to Andy to keep persevering in his pursuits.

College Hockey:Maglione Caps Princeton Comeback
OT Winner Give Tigers 2-1 Win
PRINCETON, N.J. — Princeton-Yale is as rich an Ivy Thanksgiving tradition as eating too much turkey or bad football games. Entering Tuesday night's contest, however, each team had little to give thanks for with just one win in this nascent season.
The Tigers can now celebrate Matt Maglione.
Maglione completed a Princeton comeback by beating goaltender Dan Lombard short side with 1:58 left in overtime. The Tigers (2-5-0, 2-3-0 ECAC) trailed 1-0 for most of the game, but rallied to tie it in the third period and win 2-1 in overtime in front of 1, 273 at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink.
Lombard had been having a spectacular night for the Bulldogs (1-4-1, 1-3-1), but Maglione came down the left side and wrested one by him.
"I give our team full marks for effort tonight," Princeton coach Len Quesnelle said. "We needed to comeback tonight and start competing again and we got the result we were looking for."
The Tigers tied up the score at 12:26 of the third period on a controversial goal by defenseman turned forward Trevor Beaney. Beaney crashed the net, but it appeared that Lombard had the puck covered. He kept poking at it and eventually it crossed the line.
A clearly upset Yale bench felt the play should have been over already.
"I felt the whistle should have blown," Yale coach Tim Taylor said. "The referee said that the puck was on him, but it wasn't covered. I don't really know."
For most of the night, the show belonged to Lombard. In the second period alone, Princeton had numerous odd-man rushes including a mini breakaway by James Fitzpatrick at the end of the frame that Lombard lunged to stop. The Tigers also missed several open nets in a 13 shot barrage that never found twine.
"I thought that even though we missed some wide-open opportunites, some real open nets, that if we kept pushing, good things would happen for us," Quesnelle said. We could feel it in the locker room and we could feel in on the bench."
Lombard, who enetered the game with just an .890 save percentage, made 34 saves on the evening. His counterpart, Dave Stathos, stopped 21 altogether.
"Lombard played real well," Taylor said. "They had a lot of chances in the second period. He had been having a great game."
Ryan Steeves got Yale's only goal at 8:37 of the first period. Evan Wax forced goaltender Dave Stathos to make a tough save on a backhand in front of the crease. Nobody marked Steeves at the side of the net and he tapped in the rebound.
"We never got that offensive flow going," Taylor said. "I thought we played hard. Princeton was more physical than us. They beat us down low, which has been a good area for us all year."
Yale has an immediate opportunity for revenge right after the Thanksgiving holiday. The Bulldogs will host Princeton on Saturday at the Whale to complete the home-and-home.
Notes: Maglione scored Princeton's last overtime winner, last year against Vermont. … Lombard was 12 minutes away from the Bulldogs' first shutout over Princeton since Feb 13, 1971, a whopping 7-0 victory for the Elis in New Haven.

Judge Lynn Leibovitz Wednesday granted a last-minute request from the three defendants in the Robert Wone trial to waive their right to a trial by jury, instead opting for a bench trial.
The last minute request came as a surprise in during the morning's hearing. Leibovitz granted time for both sides to prepare for an afternoon decision.
Gaveling in at 3:50 p.m., David Schertler, defense counsel for Dylan Ward, immediately requested a waiver for the three defendants. Assistant U.S. Attorney Glenn Kirschner offered no objection.
Because only a defendant can ask for such a waiver of their constitutional right, not their counsel, Leibovitz asked defendants Joe Price, Victor Zaborsky and Ward be sworn in and questioned individually by the bench as to their decision.
In turn they were asked nearly the same questions: Did they know they couldn't reverse this choice? Were they coerced? Did they receive satisfactory counsel? ("Absolutely," volunteered Price in his turn.) Was this related to the ruling on motion to sever? ("No" they all answered.) Was this related to media coverage? No. And then, had they taken any medication? ("No.")
"Including prescription medication?" Leibovitz asked. No. Wine? Only Joe and Dylan – a glass with last night's dinner.
Finding that all three reached their decisions "knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily" and with no outstanding objection, she granted their requests.
The decision likely cuts the anticipated trial length "in half" Kirschner offered, as unresolved motions can now be ruled on by the bench during trial.
Still subject to debate: the role that media attention played in this decision.
Leibovitz asked if the defendants' decision was "tied to the article in the paper today," referring to Keith Alexander's piece in the Wednesday Washington Post.
"No, it's not," answered Schertler, referring instead to "a variety of other factors."
Leibovitz asked if those factors included media coverage and attention, and if a robust voir dire couldn't help?
"It's based on broader considerations," Schertler answered.
Opening statements for the trial are set to begin Monday, May 17, at 9:30 a.m.
Doug Johnson is a blogger at WhoMurderedRobertWone.com, which is providing extensive daily coverage of the trial of Joe Price, Victor Zaborsky and Dylan Ward on charges of obstruction of justice in the investigation of the murder of Robert Wone.

Automatic External Defibrillators, better known as AED's, use electric shock to restore a patient's heartbeat.
Many first responders now carry portable battery-powered AED's for use at emergency scenes.
But some people are blaming one of the devices for playing a role in the death of a man in Walton County last week.
On Monday June 28th, 62 year old Kentucky resident John Hess entered the water in the Gulf behind Hidden Dunes Resort in Miramar Beach.
Surf conditions were rough and red flags were flying.
Sean Hughes of the South Walton Fire District says the waters were not safe for the public to swim in that day."Under red flags, knee-deep is too deep, so... certainly at the shoreline, but any deeper than that you run a serious risk of getting into trouble."
Hess did get into trouble.
He was pulled from the water at 1:20 in the afternoon.
Walton County Sheriff's deputies arrived on scene two minutes later, with the South Walton Fire District arriving six minutes after deputies.
By 2:00 John Hess was dead.
Before the fire district paramedics arrived, an off-duty doctor on the scene, asked one of the walton county deputies for an automatic external defibrillator, or a-e-d, to treat hess.
"We were made aware that they were asking for that and there wasn't one available" says Hughes.
Camile Cox,Public Information Officer for the Walton County Sheriff's Office says the AED was on scene but didn't have working batteries. She says the deputies on scene did all they could to find an alternative defribillator.
"They actually went to Hidden Dunes to see if there was one in their workout room, but his (the deputy's) just did not have a battery, a working battery. He had notified our AED coordinator. The battery was ordered and was replaced the very next day."
Sheriff's officials say they don't have any records of that particular AED's last inspection.
They are not checked daily because the batteries usually last four-to-five years.
"The AED by design is not necessarily supposed to be checked daily because it's long term, sitting idling, waiting for use. I can't speak to what their maintenance schedules are or how they're being maintained" Hughes says.
Back in 2005, The South Walton Fire District gave the Sheriff's Office thirty brand new defibrillators obtained through a grant, but the upkeep is the responsibility of the Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's officials say they ordered a battery for the AED in question before the incident because of a routine inspection
"We have a Lieutenant at the Sheriff's Office who monitors that equipment. They do an inspection once every three months" Cox says.
When asked when the last inspection was Cox stated "I'm not sure, but I know they do them periodically".
Even if the defibrillator was working, it's no guarantee Hess would have survived.
Hughes says there's no way to tell.
"Not every heart attack is a shockable rhythm. Shocking everyone?... If you're under the belief that's the course of action, it's not necessarily the course of action. It interprets it and if it's a shockable rhythm it will deliver a shock. It's all speculation in these set of circumstances. Would it have made a difference? I don't think anyone could say conclusively yes or no" Hughes says.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office says AED's are a luxury device for law enforcement officers, and that tight budgets prohibit them from ordering a supply of 'backup batteries'.

This spring is all about light and airy colors and for nails.
One of my favorite hues this season is Sweet Pea, a light pink shade which reminds me of Cotton Candy, created especially for Stella McCartney by Priti NYC.
This sheer color can be applied sparingly, with one coat, or multiple coats to create a deeper shade of pink And because it is a semi-sheer color, it can be paired with any look for a manicure or pedicure.
