Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are getting married this weekend and fans are excited about the big day. It won't air live on TLC, but the cameras will be rolling and we will get to see it before long. On Wednesday, E! Online shared the news about their odd wedding registry. They don't just want kitchen items but are looking for a few strange things.
One thing that they picked that they want is cereal. They registered for several different kinds too. You have to wonder if this is something they really want a ton of or if they were just picking random things. They also registered for a ton of gift cards and they plan to eat out a lot. Most of the ones that they picked are for eating places. If Jill plans to have a ton of kids like her mom, she will need to make sure that she starts cooking.
Derick is looking to get a new shotgun and ammo for it as well. They also want a tape measure. It honestly seems like they picked some weird stuff. Jill must have plans to fix everything with neon duct tape because that is one thing that they picked out on the list as well. Fans can even buy the gifts and have them shipped directly to Jill and Derek if they want to do it that just to help them out.
ABC News shared how Jill and Derek of "19 Kids and Counting" actually broke a dating rule. When he got back from his long trip, they gave each other a front hug. They are only supposed to do side hugs but they went for it. Once they were engaged they made the decision to go ahead and start holding hands. Their first kiss will be at their wedding on this Saturday though. Fans can't wait to see the wedding on the next season of the show.

When Inter Milan failed to land some of its early targets in the search for a new manager, many eyes turned to Fiorentina's Serbian gaffer, Sinisa Mihajlovic.
There were even whispers in the Italian press that an agreement between the Nerazzurri and Mihajlovic (who played for multiple Serie A sides, including Inter) had already been reached. A date for the announcement was even reported by several outlets.
But throughout the whole process, Mihajlovic reaffirmed his desire to stay with La Viola. He admitted there had been contact with the Milanese giants but stopped short of saying how close he was to signing, claiming yet again his total focus was on Fiorentina.
And what does such dedication to a club get you in football these days?
It gets your favorite pair of sunglasses stolen.
It seems that during a press conference for Fiorentina's media outlet on Thursday, called for the purpose of yet again reiterating that the Serbian will still be at the helm next season, some culprit pilfered the manager's expensive sunglasses (Italian) which the club also describe as having "affective value".
The club announced the theft on their official website today (Italian), and the notice throws another added wrinkle into the story.
Fiorentina claims to have video evidence of the theft, and is offering il ladro the chance to return the glasses anonymously before making the contents of the videotape public.
This is seriously the exact strategy we used to do at the youth center where I worked when something got stolen. Make a big fuss about announcing the theft, be sure whoever has sticky fingers hears that they will be found out, threaten consequences, and then graciously offer the option to return whatever it was (hat, pokemon card, sunglasses with sentimental value, etc.) without penalty.
Without fail, the item in question was on my desk by the end of the afternoon every single time.
Whether or not Fiorentina can pull off the same results remains to be seen. And while this does seem like much to do about nothing, the support Mihajlovic is getting from the club here could be seen as a testament to the "honesty and fairness" he sees in La Viola which he cites as key reasons for his staying put.
They'd do well to keep him happy as well as he deserves great credit for righting a floundering, injury-riddled campaign to achieve a respectable 9th place finish in Serie A this term.
La Viola will hope to spring back up into the European places during the upcoming season, a task that will no doubt be more challenging if their manager has the sun in his eyes.
It worked!
Corriere dello Sport reports that Mihajlovic's precious shades have been returned.
True to their word, the club have not released the name of the thief, though it's unclear whether whoever returned them was actually the one with the sticky fingers.
So, "crisis" averted.
Man, I cannot wait for the season to start again.

"In Mexican novels, and in movies, the houses of the illicitly rich and infamous are louche, luxurious affairs, with toilets made of gold, mounds of cocaine or cash lying around and furniture of thronelike proportions. In the public imagination, what might be called 'narquitecture' or 'narco style' is all gaudy excess — part 'Real Housewives,' part 'Scarface,' part conquistador."

It's appalling to see such vibrant architecture go down the drain as being labeled with narcotics money. It should just be donated to non-government institutions and instead converted as modern furniture los angeles for that matter.ReplyDelete
To be very frank, I cannot like this old architecture. They seem to be like abandoned buildingsReplyDelete

A welcome winter warmer, this will have you glowing in no time. Tasty, hearty and full of goodness - great on cold evenings too.
Reviewer's Name: Organic Life Magazine
The best oats for making porridge on the hob - not too homogenous and makes a creamy texture even when made with water,
Reviewer's Name: P J Hewett
These flakes are medium sized not jumbo and cook very quickly. Great taste.
Reviewer's Name: Anna K
The soluble fibre found in oats lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, boosting cardiovascular health. Oats may also stimulate the thyroid gland and hence help regulate the metabolisation of food into energy.
Reviewer's Name: Emma
I like a number of Jordans products and their oats are one of them, I personally cook oats on the hob in nut milks and these come out very creamy. Some oats always come out sticky or too thick but not these ones. I also just used these in flapjacks a few days ago and they were absolutely delicious - a simple oats, veg margarine/oil and brown sugar recipe with a bit of chocolate and peanuts in the base for fun and these held together really well, glazed nicely and had a really great texture.
Reviewer's Name: D BISALA
I've tried these oats for the first time and quite liked them. I like their taste, they are easy to prepare and healthy too. Recommended.

Failure to file an annual residency certificate and sufficient documentation will result in a voluntary termination of your employment.
Every person first employed by the City of Boston on or after July 1, 1976, shall be a resident of the City of Boston, and shall not cease to be a resident of the City of Boston during his employment by the City. For the purposes of this ordinance, an employee shall be any person receiving monies from the City or the Boston Water and Sewer Commission subject to withholding taxes by the State or Federal Government, except principal employees and officers subject to the provisions of subsection 5-5.2 hereof.
All persons promoted by the City on or after July 1, 1976, shall be, or within one year of such promotion become, a resident of the City as defined herein. Failure to do so shall be determined to be a voluntary termination of employment.
Upon taking employment with the City, and annually on February first thereafter, every person subject to this section shall file with his or her Department head, or like officer, a certificate, signed under the pains and penalties of perjury, stating his or her name, and place of residence. A copy of every such certificate shall be transmitted by the Department head or like officer to the Boston Residency Compliance Commission within five (5) business days of filing. Upon receipt of a certificate indicating a place or residence not within the City of Boston, or if no such certificate is filed, the Department head or like officer shall forthwith strike the name of the employee from the payroll, that person shall cease to be employed by the City, and the Department head or like officer shall give notice of his action to the City Clerk, who shall transmit the same to the City Council, the Mayor, and the Collector-Treasurer. No person so stricken from a payroll, shall be reemployed by the City for a period of one year following the cessation of his or her employment. Every employee shall be furnished a copy of the residency ordinance when hired and annually thereafter, but failure to receive a copy shall not be held to excuse any violation.

To the extent permissible by law, no collective bargaining agreement hereafter entered into by the City of Boston shall contain any provision contrary to the provisions hereof, nor shall the absence of any provision with respect to the residency of any person hired after the date of such contract be deemed to prevent enforcement of this section.
To the extent permitted by Chapter 31 of the General Laws, every examination held to establish a Civil Service list for employment by the City of Boston shall be restricted to City of Boston residents.
In the event that this section shall be deemed to be in conflict with a provision of any general or special law, the provision of that general or special law shall govern, and shall not defeat the application of this ordinance with respect to any position not governed by that law.
The provisions hereof shall not be waived by the Mayor nor the City Council with respect to a particular person or position.

Here in the U.S., John Barrowman is best known for his roles as Malcolm Merlyn on "Arrow" and Captain Jack in "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood," but in the U.K., the Glasgow, Scotland-born actor spent a good deal of time on TV as a presenter.
"The thing I like about presenting is I get to be myself," said Barrowman, who will be the host of ABC's new series "Sing Your Face Off," premiering on Saturday, May 31. "I get to not play a character, not pretend to be a bad guy or a sci-fi hero, I get to be John Barrowman. I get to get involved and actually laugh with the contestants, laugh at them, be spontaneous, and do silly things. I get to be myself and that is what attracted me to it."
"Sing Your Face Off" features several celebrities who are transformed and trained to perform as a legendary musical icon. Over the course of the series, the five celebrities -- Sebastian Bach, legendary rock star from the band Skid Row; Landry Fields, from the NBA's Toronto Raptors; Jon Lovitz, comedian, actor, singer; China Anne McClain, who stars in Disney Channel's "A.N.T. Farm;" and Lisa Rinna, Billie from "Days of Our Lives" -- will take on the identity of an iconic music performer. The celebrities could find themselves transformed into someone far older, younger or even someone of the opposite sex.
And there will be gender crossing with males performing as female artists, and females as male artists.
"It's not about putting someone in a dress to be outrageous and stupid," said Barrowman. "All I will say is Landry Fields, our basketball player, gets to become a female iconic singer. He does a brilliant job at it. My comment to him afterwards was, 'You're going to find it tough in the locker room after this, aren't you? Because they are going to want you to dress up as her.'"
Barrowman, who has spent more than 15 years on stage in London and on Broadway in musicals such as Miss Saigon, The Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard and La Cage aux Folles, says if he were a performer on "Sing Your Face Off" instead of the host, he would want to take on Madonna's "Vogue" because it is "outrageous."
"I do covers of Michael Bublé numbers, but I do my interpretation of them," he says when asked which male artist he would perform. "I think it would be fun to try to be Michael Bublé, who moves in, what I call, an awkwardly awesome way."
Fans of Barrowman as a singer can pre-order his new You Raise Me Up album, which will be released on June 30.
"It is different in the sense that it is all covers of famous songs that are out there already, but I was not under the thumb of a record company because my fans funded this album," he says. 'They allowed me to chose songs that represent moments in my life that are happy or sad, or moments that are celebratory, songs that I have always wanted to sing. I recorded them. I think it is my best album so far."
Tune in on Saturday, May 31 at 9 p.m. ET/PT when "Sing Your Face Off" premieres on ABC.

When Tone It Up! released the Beach Babe DVD, I instantly knew I had to get it. I've been following TIU on YouTube and their blog for about two years now and they're so much fun to watch. I love how they make tough workouts but can make them fun. I feel like I'm working out with one of my girlfriends.
It features three full length workouts:
Surfer Girl- about 23 min
-This is the ideal workout for when you don't want to work out. They tailor the workout so that you're "surfing" while doing squats on your "board" (it's really your mat, but it's fun to pretend). I felt this one the most in my legs, but they sure do look good afterwards! 4/5 Stars
Bikini Sculpt- about 40 min
-This is the longest workout on the DVDs. I got tired about halfway through, so you know this is a tough workout. This is also the most traditional of the full length workouts- mat and weights, curls, squats, etc. For the times I want a traditional workout, this will kick my butt every time (literally). 4.5/5 Stars
HIIT the Beach!- about 19 min
-High Intensity Interval Training is one of K&K's most recommended workouts. I love this workout for the days when I use the "I don't have time to get a good workout in" excuse. Think you can't get a good workout in 20 minutes? Well, try this. And you should make sure you have time for a shower afterwards- you'll need it. This is such a tough HIIT routine, that I was crawling to my water bottle during a water break. Yea. This is a good one. 5/5 Stars
There are also four "mini" workouts. I especially like to do one of these after my run days. OR you can do them all/ mix and match for a fourth full length workout!
Summer Arms- about 12 min
-This is my favorite of the Karena only workouts. I did this video after almost every run for three weeks leading up to my graduation and I was definitely able to see a difference. This includes the arm circuit from the Bikini Sculpt workout. If it weren't killer, I might be upset. This arm workout will give you jello arms- even with a 3 lb. weight. 5/5 Biceps
Bikini Booty- about 13 min
-There's a reason Katrina has an awesome booty- she's the master of booty workouts! Your buns will be singing after this, trust me. You can feel this in muscles you didn't know you had. It might look wimpy from first glance, but if you just try it, you'll get a great burn! 5/5 Glutes
Bikini Abs- about 17 min
-Katrina leads this intense ab workout. Sensitive wrists beware- this workout is plank heavy. But plank heavy does translate to being effective. It's difficult, but you can work up to it. 4.5/5 Obliques (.5 deducted for extreme difficulty)
Long and Lean- about 10 min
-Karena leads a 10 minute yoga inspired cool down stretching routine. This isn't my favorite, probably because I'm a little biased- I love Tara Stiles for yoga. However, for a stretch/ cool down after a workout, this is a good one. 3/5 Downward Dogs
Bottom Line?
This is the best Tone It Up DVD yet. Hands down. Added bonus? For an extra $7 you can download the videos instantly and keep them on your computer. I especially like this option because I don't have to switch DVDs when I want to change my workout. I know it sounds like I'm being whiny, but it really is convenient to just have all of the videos on my computer already. Another plus is that when I travel because I have all of the BB videos on my computer and I can bring another DVD in the drive- giving me eight different workouts.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Already have! :)
Have a good workout, Beach Babes!

CLAIM: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Trying to "Patch Up" Their Marriage
"Don't expect a quickie divorce for Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez," begins a story from Star, which goes on to report that the couple is "working very hard to patch up their strained marriage."
According to the tabloid, Anthony and Lopez "haven't been able to sit and discuss the future of their marriage," but the "American Idol" judge "does not want to get divorced and is willing to try to patch things up."
And who's their marriage counselor, Lopez's rumor boyfriend Bradley Cooper?
Anyway, the mag claims before Anthony and J. Lo reconcile, "Marc has a lot of changing to do in order to win her back."
Mind you, this is all coming from the same tab that said the couple was still living together (wrong), and that they were planning a trip to help rekindle their relationship (BS).
A rep for Lopez calls this latest report "inaccurate."
Gossip Cop also checked with a mutual of ours and Anthony's — as opposed to Star's busted Magic 8 Ball — and we're told the mag's story is "not true at all."

Sure, it's only preseason, but I'm watching the New Orleans Saints attempt to play defense Saturday against the Houston Texans, and I find it more fitting to grade what I witnessed in words, not letters, like A,B,C.
I don't want to hear about a defense wanting to hold back and play "vanilla" against an offense it will be facing Sept. 25 at the Superdome, a day the final score counts.
I don't want to hear about who didn't play.
I want to hear about who played, and how they played, on a defense, we're told, is the deepest that Coach Sean Payton has had since his arrival in 2006.
Defensive boss Gregg Williams probably already knows plenty about Saturday, and he'll know plenty more after watching video of a group that surrendered a staggering 323 yards, and 24 points, in the first half, the only half that really mattered in a 27-14 loss.
What Williams saw was a supposedly, big, beefy front with mean intentions that was roundly outplayed, stuck in neutral, equally inadequate in handling the pass as well as the run.
In the opening 30 minutes, the Texans were so dominant in carving out double-digit yardage, quarterback Matt Schaub seldom faced the question: "What do I call on third down?"
On Saturday, for the NFL's most underrated quarterback, two downs were all it took to keep the chains moving.
In 2009, Schaub led the league in passing yards. Last season, he was fourth, with 4,370 yards, when he threw for 24 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions.

And there was All-Pro target Andre Johnson on Saturday, in something close to a cameo appearance, catching four passes for 100 yards. There was one interesting sequence. On second-and-10, Schaub put a first-down pass in Johnson's hands, but Johnson couldn't hang on. On third-and-10, Schaub came back with virtually the same play, clicking on a 21-yard completion that led to a touchdown.
On the ground, it was the same story.
Arian Foster, who lead the league last season in rushing (1,616 yards), rushing touchdowns (16) and yards per game (101 yards), was having a ball, carrying it five times for 47 yards that included a 28-yarder for one of his two touchdowns.
When Foster didn't have the ball, it seemed Ben Tate did, nine times for 95 yards, including a 43-yarder.
Foster, an explosive package at 6-1, 227, seemed to be skating on ice as he darted here and there.
Tate, who missed his rookie season because of a broken ankle, spent his time using power and quick feet to break one tackle after another.
For the defense, it was anything but a pretty picture.And for the offense?
For Drew Brees, the picture was prettier despite a quarterback losing a "my fault'' fumble at the Houston 4-yard-line when it appeared the Saints were humming, on their way to a quick 7-0 lead.
On two of the first three drives, Brees would take his team inside the 5, the other drive climaxed by Mark Ingram bullying into the end zone from the 1.
For me, the two most encouraging running back sights were the bounce in the always moving legs of Pierre Thomas, who averaged more than 5 yards in six trips, and a 17-yard dash by Darren Sproles, suggesting he's getting to feel at home at his new address.
In a sense, the same would apply to steadily improving backup quarterback Chase Daniel and a brand new downfield target, Joe Morgan, who, as he continues to chase a final roster spot, managed to follow last week's punt return by using his feet and his hands in tying the knot to a Daniel-Morgan 56-yard touchdown.
Think about it. Joe Morgan now owns the longest punt return and the longest pass reception of the, that's right, preseason.
Sure, this counts for Morgan, but how much does it count for the rest of the team?
What does Payton think at the halfway stage of a four-game exhibition Who Dats will soon forget?
To me, the head coach's assessment as to what happened in Houston fit the situation.
"You can't sugarcoat it, we got whipped,'' he said.
Badly whipped.
In a way, it left me contemplating the different problems facing Saturday's head coaches.
Gary Kubiak is into his sixth season in Houston without a playoff appearance, an NFL rarity.
The only reason he wasn't fired after an injury-scarred 6-10 finish was an agreement to bring in a new defensive coordinator, which turned out to be Wade Phillips.
Kubiak's challenge remains cast in stone: Make the playoffs or walk the plank.
Going into his sixth season as well, Sean Payton, at the moment, faces no such challenge. He's made three playoffs, won a Super Bowl, reached two conference championships.
On NFL Sundays, it means his Saints, a recent world champion with some vital pieces still in place, will be taken more seriously by the opposition, and this comes at a time of growing parity, a time last season's playoff run was ended in one of the biggest upsets in playoff history.
Payton's problem is this: He's trying to come up with another championship team and still wrestling with what he feels are the proper pieces on both sides of the ball.
I'm guessing what an offensive-minded coach saw on Saturday, what he saw on defense, left him wondering about some of the new pieces in an ongoing puzzle.
No, if you're Sean Payton, you definitely do not sugarcoat a day like Saturday.

Aim Wildfire is often considered more severe now than historically in dry forests of the western United States. Tree-ring reconstructions, which suggest that historical dry forests were park-like with large, old trees maintained by low-severity fires, are from small, scattered studies. To overcome this limitation, we developed spatially comprehensive reconstructions across 927,000 ha in four landscapes, using a new method based on land surveys from c. 1880.
Location Dry forests of the western United States.
Methods We reconstructed forest structure for four large dry-forest landscapes using forest descriptions and tree data from historical land surveys. Using multiple elements of historical forest structure from this study along with corroborating information from tree-ring studies, we were able to interpret past forest dynamics. Hypotheses concerning historical structure and dynamics were then tested.
Results These reconstructions show that dry forests were structurally variable, containing from 20 to over 1000 trees ha−1 and some dense understoreys of shrubs and small trees. Park-like stands of large trees maintained by low-severity fire predominated only in parts of the study landscapes. Only 3, 12, 40 and 62% of the four landscapes fit a low-severity fire model; 38–97% had evidence of higher-severity (mixed- and high-severity) fire. Some large modern wildfires (e.g. Rodeo-Chediski), perceived as catastrophic, had fire severity congruent with historical variability.
Main conclusions Spatially extensive reconstructions from the late 1800s show that these forests were structurally variable, including areas of dense forests and understorey trees and shrubs, and fires varied in severity, including 15–65% high-severity fire. A set of laws, policies and initiatives that aim to uniformly reduce fuels and fire severity is likely to move many of these forests outside their historical range of variability with adverse effects on biological diversity. Macroscale survey-based reconstructions and palaeoecological studies reveal that higher-severity fires were and are a part of the normal dynamics of dry forests.

The more we read about how untrue the 1950's adage, "Better living through chemistry," is, the more we're inspired to live as organically as possible. We've told you about eco-friendly furniture, cleaning products, food, fashion… but what about our beloved beauty products? Didja know that there's awful stuff like lead, coal tar, and 1,4 dioxane in the stuff we scrub and slather on every day, and that (surprise, surprise) those things can cause cancer, birth defects, and infertility? Uh-oh. Stacy Malkan's book Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry has opened our baby blues to the shocking side of beauty. Buy it, and you'll read all about the injustices perpetrated in the name of smoother skin and longer lashes, and what products you can buy that are safe for you and the environment.

Just north of Abbott's Lagoon, Kehoe Beach is a marvelous location for seeing the 2nd unconformity on the Pt. Reyes Peninsula. It also offers the possibilites of making interesting observations of the transition from alluvial to lagoonal to dune modern environments on the walk out to the beach. Walking north from the point that the path reaches the beach, exposures include the granitics (pink on this map) with significant metamorphics, basal sandstones of the Laird (Tl) and the overlying Monterey (Tm) and demonstrate a classic transgressive sequence.

The Mill on the Floss
by George Eliot
The Mill on the Floss Book 1, Chapter 9 Summary
To Garrum Firs
- The Tulliver kids, their mom, and Lucy go to visit the Pullets at their house, Garrum Firs. Before they leave, a hairdresser comes to fix Maggie's wacky haircut. He tells Maggie that she looks awful and Maggie is mad.
- Her mom then tells her to stop looking ugly. Apparently Maggie can alter how she looks through sheer force of will.
- Lucy of course looks pretty and adorable, which makes Maggie madder. Let's hope there are no wooden dolls or rabbits in the vicinity.
- Maggie's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day continues when she accidentally messes up a house of cards that Tom was building. Tom thinks he's on the Brady Bunch apparently.
- Tom is mad and only pays attention to Lucy now.
- The group finally head over to the Pullet house. The Pullets are worried about how the kids are going to mess up their furniture.
- The females all go to look at Aunt Pullet's new bonnet. Mrs. Pullet is depressed, which seems to be her default emotional setting.
- She says that someone in the family will probably die and then she'll have to wear her black mourning clothes and won't have a chance to wear her new bonnet.
- (Historical Context Lesson! Back in the day, people (women especially) had to wear all black "mourning" clothes when someone in their family died. The amount of time someone had to wear mourning clothes depended on who died – if a woman's husband died she could be stuck wearing all black for a year.)
- Meanwhile, Tom is stuck downstairs alone with Uncle Pullet. Uncle Pullet is awkward with kids and asks Tom lame questions like how he likes school. Tom is awkward and shy around his uncle and thinks that his uncle is pretty lame overall.
- Uncle Pullet then asks Tom if he likes peppermints, and the ladies show back up to stop this conversation from further going downhill.
- The kids all get some cakes to eat. But Maggie gets distracted by some art and drops her cake, making a mess. Aunt Pullet freaks out.
- Lucy then goes to ask Uncle Pullet to show them his music box. Maggie adores music and instantly sits down in order to listen to it.
- But she gets so excited by the music that she quickly gets back up and tackle-hugs Tom. This causes Tom to spill his drink and the adults all scold Maggie.
- The adults send the kids outside.
- Mrs. Pullet talks about the health of the family and predicts doom for everyone. She's a bit of a free-for-all hypochondriac, someone convinced that they are always sick.
- The adults then discuss the dispute between Mr. Tulliver and Mrs. Glegg.
- Mrs. Pullet says that she'll talk to Mrs. Glegg, but she predicts doom and gloom for everyone. She's like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.
- Suddenly, the maid Sally bring in an object that causes the women to scream and Uncle Pullet to swallow his lozenge in shock. Cliffhanger!

The 21 meter long tug En Avant 5 capsized on the Maas River near Dordrecht, Netherlands. The tug was engaged with another tug dragging a barge when it capsized. The 4 crewmen on board were able to jump safely into the water. A ferry picked up the men who were taken to hospital to be checked out. The En Avant 5 is still attached to the barge. The cause of the capsizing is not known. Authorities are conducting an investigation into the incident.
Day: June 3, 2011
Costa Magica in the Sand
The 272 meter long, 9859 dwt cruise ship Costa Magica struck a sandbar while leaving the port of Copenhagen, Denmark. The Costa Magica, with a pilot on board, was proceeding at low speed when it drove up on the sand bank. However, there was no damage and no danger to the passengers on board. A tug was able to pull the cruise ship off the bank the same day. Authorities have stated that the pilot had acted properly and no investigation was required. The Costa Magica proceeded out of the port and continued its voyage. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
Allision on Elbe-Seiten Canal
The 86 meter long tanker Eiltank 39 collided with a bridge near Lueder (Uelzen), Germany that spans over the Elbe-Seiten Canal. The vessel's steering house, including the controls for the vessel, were destroyed. Authorties estimate the damage to be 30000 €. Reports state the master of the vessel had forgotten to lower the hydraulic steering house to allow the vessel to pass safely under the bridge. Luckily, the master was not injured in the allision. The vessel was maneuvered to a nearby dock to wait for repairs.

We're conflicted about who to root for. So we bought this Adidas London 2012 Olympics Adinations T-Shirt ($38). It may not feature the flag of every single participating country, but we're not actually going to be there in person, and the friends that we'll be watching the Games on TV with aren't smart enough to notice if any are missing anyway. So this shirt will work fine.

Very Well Made.. Great Filing Cabinet
By Alex

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Alera Two-Drawer Mobile Pedestal File, 15-7/8w x 28-1/4h x 19-3/4d (Black):
I Was looking for a file cabinet which was about 18-19 inches deep with good sliding/opening mechanisms and sturdy. This actually fit the budget! You do not have to use the casters if you don't want them but casters makes it very mobile and easy for cleaning purposes. The Anti-tip mechanism was a bonus for this mobile file cabinet. Its very sturdy for my home office. Drawers open very smoothly.The only hard part was trying to screw the wheels in but after a few tries the wheels were able to be screwed in perfectly.I would definitely buy another one of this model because its really nice and sturdy for the price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dong Nguyen, creator of Flappy Bird, is back on the App Store.
Swing Copters was clearly made to be in the same vein of the wildly popular Flappy Bird, but the result could not be more disappointing.
The game features the same primitive, 2-D graphics as Nguyen's last game, but the difference with this title is that it's roughly 20-million times more frustrating.
The controls are sloppy and inconsistent, and that raises the difficulty curve to unimaginable heights. If you like to advance past the first reasonable milestone within your first 50 tries of playing a game — Swing Copters is not for you.
Many critics lauded Flappy Bird for its simplicity, challenging gameplay and ability to become addictive. But Nguyen definitely missed this time in terms of replay value.
Think back to how many attempts in Flappy Bird it took you to reach five or 10 tubes passed. For anyone who grew up playing video games, or even casual users, it was likely less than 20. Swing Copters has experienced gamers going 50 tries without eclipsing two sections passed.
The genius part about Flappy Bird is that the mechanic was incredibly intuitive. There's a rhythm involved that users can wrap their heads around. The controls for Swing Copters are so hideously difficult that it makes the game virtually unplayable after about four minutes.
A large slice of the gaming community is all for a challenge, but the improbability of any reasonable progression is beyond annoying.
Nguyen definitely deserves success as an innovative game developer. After all, the guy took the tubes from Super Mario Bros, added a stupid-looking bird and made a ton of money in advertising revenue. If that's not the American dream…
Swing Copters will undoubtedly have great success. It's currently the No. 2 Overall Free app on the App Store, but you have to wonder about its longevity as long as it's this frustrating.
The last thing that has insiders in the industry curious — how many people will just keep playing because "Flappy Bird guy" made it?

The Band Perry reached a pinnacle in their career with a first-ever win for Vocal Group of the Year at the 49th annual ACM Awards on Sunday, April 6. Sibling trio, Kimberly, Neil and Reid Perry have been a steadily strengthening presence in country music since 2010 when their second single, "If I Die Young" launched them into the spotlight.
Since then, the band has worked hard to bring their own, unique voice to the country music genre. With seven consecutive top ten hits and a new song, "Chainsaw" kicking up dust, The Band Perry seems to have found their audience. While they may have entered the country scene with a poetic ballad, these days The Band Perry often seems to prefer a rock influence that gives Kimberly a chance to show her grittier side while the brothers jam on guitars and engage in some headbanging of their own.
Their brand of country rock isn't for everyone, so it may come as a surprise to some that The Band Perry would rise above more traditional or pop-country bands such as Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Eli Young Band and Zac Brown Band for the win. Even so, winning the ACM Vocal Group of the Year is a definite step up, leveling the playing field to include a wider variety of country in years to come.
Upon winning, Kimberly Perry drew from a quote from the siblings' grandfather. She said:
ACMs, this is a mountaintop moment in the life of The Band Perry. Our sweet grandfather once gave us some advice. He said, 'This ain't no hill for a climber.' We accept this for all the climbers tonight.

If you are new to the Cottage, or indeed to football, then we hope you enjoy your visit to our stadium. The Club has an increasingly diverse fan base who create a friendly atmosphere at Craven Cottage, an environment that is particularly welcoming to first time visitors or new supporters.
Regular supporters will encourage the Whites by chanting, cheering and singing throughout the entire game. Noisy support is encouraged but abusive behaviour or inappropriate chants/songs will not be tolerated. If you encounter any poor behaviour during your visit to the Cottage, please report this to any Club steward or staff member located nearby.
To ensure that everyone is able to enjoy the game supporters are encouraged to remain seated during the match. On occasions supporters will stand up from time to time during exciting periods of play but persistent standing is not permitted.
During the warm up and the match, keep an eye out for flying footballs, although the players will be trying to score sometimes you might find a ball coming towards you! Fans seated in the Hammersmith or Putney Ends experience this more than others.
Many supporters choose to wear replica shirts or other official items of Club clothing, such as scarves, hats, jackets and tracksuits. These can be purchased at either Club Shop, online at fulhamfc.com, or on matchdays at the stadium.
Branded clothing or accessories are often referred to as 'Club Colours'.
There are not many restrictions on clothing, although supporters should note that replica kits of the visiting team may not be worn in any Home area of the stadium. Supporters in all areas of the stadium should refrain from wearing items of clothing that are indecent, or that carry offensive wording or slogans.
Supporters in the Neutral Section may wear replica shirts or other items of clothing relating to either team.
We would advise supporters to dress comfortably and to take into account the weather conditions before travelling, including the chance of rain or snow.
During winter it is not unheard of for temperatures to drop near to or below freezing. Being situated so close to a river, the stadium can also feel rather cold, particularly in winter or at evening games, so be sure to check the forecast and come prepared.
Grab a copy of the matchday programme before Kick-Off, for only £3.50 you will get insight from the Club leading into the match, including interviews, a preview from the manager, the latest news and ticket and travel information for forthcoming games. The programme also carries a full set of fixtures for the season and the squad names and numbers for both the Whites and the opposition team.
Ensure you get down to the ground early, take advantage of the public catering offers for early arrivals and enjoy the build up on our screens around the ground. Food and beverages are also available at halftime.
You will also find betting facilities (over 18s only), toilets and baby changing facilities located within the vicinity of each stand.
There are close to 800 staff members in and around the stadium on a matchday, so you are never far from assistance at any point in your visit.

I have joint pains since 1995. Started with pains and swelling in my wrist and fingers. Then slowly started in other joints. I am seeing rheumatologist since 1998, I went though few medicines but seems none of them help. And pain started growing and growing since 2005. I have little pain in my hips. A year ago, I had an xray done on my hips because I had severe pain in my left hip. The xray showed bone on bone that's why my pain was not going away and rheumatologist suggest me I may need hip replacement. I did some research and found out about Optimum Joint. They insert this gel thing in the joints between the bones and today is my third treatment and I am feeling a lot better. Pain is gone and feels very good. God bless them, they are helping their patients everyday. Thank you doctors and the whole team.
I have four key points that were really bothering me. First is changing positions, it would really bother me; it was really difficult. The second thing is walking up and down the stairs, dragging one foot from the other. The third was when I'm sleeping, whenever I turned over my knee, the pain would wake me. The fourth is, it would be very difficult when walking distance for more than 10 minutes. What I found after having the treatment of the steroid injection then 5 Hyalgan shots was the changing positions was greatly improved. I can walk up and down the stairs normally even if it was slow-paced, which is a vast improvement. Sleeping when i turn over doesn't wake me. I can sleep more peacefully. My endurance for walking is much improved. I can walk about 25 mins to half hour before discomfort. I feel the overall benefit. I would do this again in a heartbeat. I am 75-80% better on my own knees., which is a lot to me; without a doubt.My hand used to hurt me a lot. I have basilar arthritis on the left joint. I had one steroid injection and a couple of therapy sessions and its 80% better now. I can open a jar with little difficulty. Before, I could not open a jar at all. I don't have that intense hurt anymore.
I came to Optimum Joint with a high level of pain in both knees and a lack of flexibility. After four injection shots, my pain has greatly decreased. I am more flexible and can walk up and down.
My treatments are making me feel so much better. The first injection was a big improvement. So happy to be here as a patient. My walking is easy.
Thank you for giving me my life back. When i came to you two months ago, I felt as if my right knee was broken. Your treatments progressively reduced my pain and gave me most of my mobility back. I truly appreciate your care and approach to dealing with joint pain. I had two rounds of Synvisc injections, neither of which relieved the apin. Your combination of PT, ultrasound guided injections, and sequencing of treatments really made a difference. You provide hope in averting knee replacement.
I am about 75 to 80% better.
I wanted to take this opportunity thank you and your staff for diagnosing and treating the elbow pain I was experiencing. I was experiencing elbow pain for over a year to the point where I couldn't shake someone's hand without feeling pain. You had recommended PRP injections and after one treatment my pain has been reduced 95%. In addition, you have also injected my shoulders with PRP and I am experiencing a decrease in pain and I am looking forward to future injections. I also want to add that you have a friendly and professional staff and that I have recommended you to my friends and family. Have a happy new year!
After 4.5 years of excruciating pain being unable to get out of bed or walk, I found Optimum Joint. After one treatment, I am able to walk without pain and "unbelievable" not in agony anymore. My friends commented how they are surprised to see me walk. My knee was very swollen when I first walked in, after my first visit, its so much better.
After 2 years of pain, no sleep, agony everyday, I didn't have a quality life. Now after I have recieved treatment (2) I feel 100% better, great. Thanks to the doctors and the staff of Optimum Joint service.
In my early 40's dislocated left shoulder and had it reset; at 45 years old primary physician diagnosed me with arthritis and at 50 years old, i can hardly move my arm. It was difficult to do my job as an electrician with decreased mobility; for 20 years this problem remained but not now and 70 years old. I'm 70% better. I can sleep so much better my mobility has improved and I'm very happy with my results.
Find injection successful. Very pleased and feel younger and can reach without pain. Wonderful alternative to surgery.
My hands are feeling so much better.
After first short I felt a great relief the pain was so much less. I was able to walk pain free.
Before it was very painful. I couldn't lift the fork when eating, couldn't lift arm to put on my shirt. Now I am back to normal lifestyle. I am able to eat and dress myself without feeling pain. I really appreciate it.
I have been getting therapy on my knees for several months. The pain did not subsided much until I had an injection of platelets. Three days later, my knees feel better and i hope they will continue getting better. I hope to be able to bend my knees without pain - sit down better, walk stairs more easily, and walk. I am very optimistic.
I want to thank you and your staff for the help you have given me since I first came to Optimum Joint on October 14, 2013. To give you a little background on my condition, I have been having severe pain in my hip, the muscle in my leg and knee since last December. I was diagnosed with Sciatica at that time and must say the sciatica has cleared up but the pain in my hip and knee has not. I went to my internal medicine doctor - who referred me to an Orthopedist. He referred me to a pain management doctor, who felt an epidural would help but because I was on blood thinners he wouldn't consider that. Therefore, he referred me to a Physical Therapist that I went to three times a week for two months. That didn't help so I switched to a Chiropractic but his adjustments weren't helping so he referred me to his partner who helped slightly but I still had great trouble getting out of a chair, getting into the car and standing and walking. When that didn't help me, I switched to Acupuncture and that did absolutely nother and was at my wit's end. My wife heard your office talked about by Joe Bartlett on WOR and I thought I would give your office a try - not expecting too much once again. From the first time I met you and you explained what you do - the methods you used and the PT that you ordered, and the injections you gave me, I started to experience some relief. Now, after only two weeks, I find that I am getting out of a chair much easier - can actually get into the car without help and am walking much better. I truly believe that continuing with you and your staff with the injections and physical therapyl; I will continue to get better. Your approach is different from everyone else's and I only wish I had met you months ago. Thank you so much.
Feeling a lot better. Very pleased with the outcome. has never felt that way for so many years. Now i can brush my hair, button up my clothes, do things without discomfort.
For more than a year I couldn't put on my socks or stand for more than 10 minutes without pain stopping me. Now I can reach my feet to put on my socks, go for long walks and play tennis again.
In my early 40's dislocated left shoulder and had it reset; at 45 years old primary physician diagnosed arthritis and at 50 years old I can hardly move my arm. It was difficult to do my job as an electrician with decreaed mobility; for 20 years this problem remained, but not now at 70 years old I'm 70% better. I can sleep so much better, my mobility has increased, and I'm very happy with my results.
I was leaving for Ireland and my right knee was hurting. I went to the doctor and he gave me a cortisone shot and said I was bone on bone and would have to have knee replacement. I had my left knee replaced and was not happy with the results and was not going thru that again.
I heard about Optimum Joint on 710 radio and decided to drive to Suffern from Queens. it is the best ride i have taken. I felt better after my first shot. No pain in my knee and my leg is much stronger. I am very happy with the results.
As recently as ten years ago you could hardly have a conversation with your doctor about alternative or interdisciplinary care. Now,we offer interdisciplinary care in the same office. The advantages of multispecialty care are obvious; communication about your case between each provider at any given visit and more choices.
There is no magic bullet in treating chronic pain; however, the advantage of combining treatment under cooperative guidance has great advantages.

A composite drawing was released today of a man who reportedly tried to kidnap a boy in Woodstock, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI).
A GBI forensic sketch artist sat down with the 12-year-old Woodstock boy and drew a rough sketch of the man who has been accused of trying to lure the boy into a black Dodge pickup truck on March 26. When the boy walked off of a Cherokee County school bus after school, the man approached him and told him that his father was in the hospital. The man proceeded to tell the boy that he would have to come along in his truck to the hospital to visit his dad. Frightened, the young boy said he would have to ask his mom and ran to his house. The man went back to his truck and drove away.
The incident occurred in an unincorporated neighborhood close to Flint Drive and Trickum Road.
The man is described as a white male, middle-aged, with brown eyes and a scraggly, grey beard. He has a small build and was wearing a blue shirt with a pocket on the right side of the chest area, and a camouflage baseball cap. The black Dodge truck he was driving has body damage on the rear of the driver's door.
After viewing the school bus surveillance camera, authorities state that footage shows the black truck parked near the boy's bus stop on the day of the incident.
Anyone with any information is urged to call 911 immediately.
