After years of scandal that includes the arrests of many high-ranking officials and the businessmen that support them, San Bernardino County is known as "California's Most Corrupt County." If one corruption figure's friends have their way, it won't lose its moniker anytime soon. They are helping to fund a campaign to kick the current District Attorney to the curb and replace him with a district attorney more to their liking.
Grover Merritt is the attorney of choice of the corruption figures. He is a deputy district attorney in the San Bernardino County District Attorney's office and not a fan of his boss, District Attorney Mike Ramos. He was formerly the head of the union representing deputy district attorneys and once sued his boss for unlawful termination. Despite working for Ramos, he is a bitter rival who is seeking the top spot.
Ramos, along with the Attorney General Kamala Harris, are prosecuting Jeff Burum, Jim Erwin, Paul Biane and Mark Kirk in what former-Attorney General Jerry Brown said was the "biggest corruption scandal in San Bernardino County history, possibly in California."
Burum is one of the Colonies partners on the receiving end of a $102 million settlement between the partners and the county of San Bernardino. It is a settlement Harris and Ramos say was tainted by extortion and bribery. Burum is accused of bribing public officials, including co-defendants Erwin, Biane and Kirk, to obtain the settlement for the Colonies partners.
Burum and his business partner, Mark Davidson, own 2nd Avenue Saloon and Grub House in Upland. Davidson is also the Agent for Service of Process for Upland Reality Equities V, Inc. So imagine the surprise when Davidson's business showed up on a Fair Political Practices Commission report as having donated $4,000 to the opponent of the District Attorney who is prosecuting his business partner, Jeff Burum.
Davidson is not the only friend of Burum attempting to take out the current district attorney. In a story written by reporter Joe Nelson, dated Aug. 19, 2011, in the San Jose Mercury News, Burum is pictured talking with "friend Dr. Paul Olivera" after leaving a court appearance. A second donation to Merritt was made by the Paul and Diane Olivera Family Trust in the amount of $2,000.
According to records at the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voter's office, the donations were made on March 6, 2014, one day before the fees for filing and candidate statements had to be deposited. Potential donors say they were contacted by campaign fundraiser Nan Ryder last week because Merritt did not have enough money for the candidate statement. Burum's friends came through at the last moment with $6,000.
Rumors have surrounded the Merritt campaign for weeks. He hired political consultant Chris Jones but has not paid him. Workers say they have been told they will be paid after the campaign is over so as to not draw attention to campaign contributors.
Jones, himself, has several connections to county corruption. He was the consultant for Burum co-conspirator Paul Biane. He worked on a variety of campaign projects with a second co-conspirator, Jim Erwin, who is thought to be taking a behind-the-scenes role in Merritt's campaign. Jones also was consultant to several city of San Bernardino candidates who have been involved in scandal.

You know what? No cease fire – keep killing those bastards!
by Gil Cohen and Avi Issacharoff
IDF reports it wounded 3 other Islamic Jihad militants in strike; Egypt PM says cease-fire agreement may be signed soon between Israel and Hamas; Gaza death toll reaches 95; more than 540 rockets have landed inside Israel since last Wednesday, all but 35 of them in open areas, while Iron Dome systems have intercepted nearly 320 rockets.
Operation Pillar of Defense entered its sixth day on Monday with relative quiet on the Israeli side and a night of attacks in the Gaza Strip. The IDF said it struck 80 targets in the coastal territory overnight, and that at least 14 Palestinians were killed.
According to the IDF, the death toll in the coastal territory since the operation began has reached 95 people, one-third of them uninvolved in the conflict.
Rocket fire against Israeli territory resumed Monday morning, after a night of calm, and turned into a full-blown barrage by early afternoon.
Meanwhile, Egyptian intelligence officials were continuing with their efforts to reach a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel.
4:55 P.M. The IAF killed senior Islamic Jihad member Ramez Hamez, who was involved in launching long-range missiles toward Israel. The IDF reports it hit three more Jihad operatives: Baha Abu al-Alta, a member of the organization's supreme military council, who was also involved in launching long-range missiles; Tayasir Jabari, also a member of the military council in charge of its operations portfolio; and Khalil Bahatini, also involved in long-range launches. According to the report, the four were hit at the Gaza media center. Antennae and other broadcasting equipment stationed on the roof of the building were also damaged (Gili Cohen)

Israeli president rides the Google bike
All 300 Google Israel employees come to Google's Tel Aviv digs to show President Shimon Peres the latest cool technologies, such as Code Lab.
Google developers from Silicon Valley, right, welcome President Peres to the launch of Code Lab

Israeli President Shimon Peres may be 90 years old, but that did not keep him from spontaneously pedaling a bike across a Google Street View map when he visited the worldwide company's Tel Aviv offices in late August 2013.
Peres was in town to welcome senior developers from Google's Android Games team in California's Silicon Valley, who had just landed in Israel for the launch of Code Lab – a brainstorming workshop with Israeli game developers to create sophisticated new mobile fun with the aid of Google products.
At Google Israel's multi-floor headquarters in the iconic Electra Tower, Peres also learned of the latest innovations created by entrepreneurs at Campus TLV, a shared startup space hosted by Google for Entrepreneurs.
Among them were developers of
, an intuitive touch keyboard for the blind; small robots controlled by Android smartphones; Action Painter, an Android virtual painting app; and
, an online platform connecting businesses with a screened community of videographers.

Meir Brand, managing director of Google Israel, Greece and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Yossi Matias, managing director of Google's R&D Center in Israel, told Peres about the new Google Campus for Moms, an eight-session "baby-friendly" tech entrepreneurship course led by Google and Yazamiyot, an Israeli women's entrepreneurship organization. The idea is to create a local hub of female leaders and provide the content and space for learning and networking without having to leave baby at home.

Making entrepreneurs better
Introducing Code Lab, Google Israel Developer Relations Program Manager Amir Shevat said the goal of bringing in corporate experts from Android and YouTube divisions is "to make mobile games and video products more successful by bringing our expertise and our technology in order to empower the [Israeli] entrepreneurs who come with the ideas and the innovation."
Shevat explained that Code Lab is open to anyone from nine-year-olds to senior citizens, Arabs and Jews alike, with great ideas. "Usually we work with them for a week to 10 days, but some for only one day."

"We advise them on how to leverage Google technology at no cost to them," said Daniel Dobson, a senior Android Games team member. "I love coming out here because we get the best questions from Israeli developers. That helps us figure out what we need to do to help developers use our infrastructure."
Added Shevat: "A few years ago, you had to work very hard to develop your product yourself, while we [at Google] have a platform and technology that will help you to develop the game or app and distribute it to your audience."
Peres asked how many of the ideas come to fruition.
"I would say about seven percent make it through the first year," said Shevat. "That is a high percentage!" Peres responded.
"Yes," said Shevat. "And those who become very successful compensate for all those ideas that did not make it. Also, people with an idea can experiment, trying it again and again until they get it right. Campus TLV isn't about choosing startups but making the entrepreneurs better. You can have three or four ideas that are not successful, but you learn from them and then you create something very successful at the end."

Peres laughed when he learned that each Google-sponsored startup CEO gets a colorful propeller beanie emblazoned with the word "Noogle," to show off being a "new Googler."
"That's the way you know someone is new in the company," joked Shevat.
In his remarks to hundreds of employees at the end of his visit, Peres observed that "Israelis are full of imagination and ambition."
"The most impressive thing about Google is the good will and ideology that leads you to always think about the other, and how to help and develop solutions for millions of people," he said. "Googlers, I'm proud of you for what you do."

The professional staff at Karing Dental Center has been treating patients for years and provides service that is not only high quality, but also caring and comfortable so you'll never feel like "just another patient." .
At our office, we use new technology to make sure that you receive the best quality of service and care. We use only the best equipment to help you get the results you want. We use digital radiography to take quality X-rays of teeth with less radiation exposure. It allows us to take faster X-rays so the patient's time in the chair is cut down. With digital radiography, we can view the X-ray on a computer, or plasma screen, therefore we can educate our patients about their own teeth. Since the X-rays are saved on the computer, X-rays can easily be e-mailed to appropriate individuals.
Intra-oral cameras are small, lightweight, portable hand pieces that we use to take clear pictures of teeth (inside and out), providing dentists with natural and true color quality. The picture can be blown up and shown to patients so they can understand what their dentist is evacuating and going to do before treatment. Along with intra-oral cameras, we also have the Casey Patient Educational System, state-of-the-art multimedia software that allows us to educate patients in a way that they will understand how a procedure is performed. It offers a wide range of dental topics so you'll always know what to expect and why procedures are done in a certain way.
Additionally, we use advanced dental implant systems to allow you to get out of the chair faster. It requires only one surgery instead of two, so you'll also save money on a second visit. This method calls for less healing time, is less painful, and has the same success rate as the two step surgery method. You'll never have to feel worried about getting another dental implant again
At Karing Dental, we offer a wide range of services under one roof so you can walk out with wonderful smile. View our services here!
Karing Dental Center, you're not just a patient, you're family. We're here for you to make beautiful smiles for a better quality of life!

It's pretty much understood that lies will be told in order to get by on Survivor. But keeping lies secret and in order can be a tremendous challenge. If the untruths become exposed, it often spells trouble for the person spouting them. During Wednesday night's episode of "Survivor: Cagayan," Tony's game appeared to blow up in his face when his deceit finally caught up with him, but he was seemingly able to pick up the pieces quite nicely by the episode's end. Having two Idols didn't hurt, not that they'd be utilized in the way you might expect. Yes, it was another great episode in a season that has rarely taken its foot off the proverbial pedal. Here's the full recap:
Aftermath. Following the ousting of Tasha, Spencer returned to camp a bit confused with why Kass and Woo would have led him to believe that they were open to keeping her. "So what was the point of the whole shenanigans?" He asked them. "Just for fun or what?" "Why does anyone lie in this game?" Kass responded. "It's part of the game." Tony summed it up for Spencer: "They were toying with you." Spencer is once again down but far from out as he continues to somehow scratch his way through this game. He does see a silver lining though. "If I have any hope in this game," he tells the camera. "It's the fact that I'm playing with people who understand it so little."
Bad For Business. The next morning is Day 34 and Tony and Woo head out to fish. Tony mentions to Woo that he thinks Kass would make a perfect Final 3 companion since she is not so well-liked (putting it mildly) by the jury. Woo admits to us that sitting next to Tony in the end "would be a lovey thing" since he has also made many other people mad in this game. Seeing Tony as an ally to the end, Woo decides to throw Kass under the bus and tells Tony about how Kass was seriously wanting to team with he and Spencer to blindside Tony (back at the last reward feast). Tony sees Woo's loyalty in sharing this information with him, but also points out that it's because of Woo's good-hearted nature that he will probably need to go. He calls taking Woo to the end "bad for business" despite liking him. Classic Tony.
Reward Challenge. To win a pizza delivery feast, brought right to them at camp, the players competed in the classic Survivor mud challenge. They'd have 10 minutes to gather as much mud as they could and try to fill up a bucket, using only the mud on their bodies. This challenge always goes over great visually, if not really requiring many identifiable skills in order to excel at it. After 10 minutes, there was no need to even weigh the buckets, because Tony's bucket was overflowing with mud. Tony won the reward and selected Trish to share in it with him.
Deep Dish. With Tony's selection of Trish to accompany him, Kass confirms her belief that the two are attached at the hip in this game. "No one in this game should have that much power," she says. Spencer gives us a metaphor, comparing the pizza delivery to how the game is actually going: Tony is winning, taking Trish along with him, and much like the pizza, the others are handing it to him on a silver platter. Tony scarfs down an entire pizza but then tells Trish about his Special Idol. In true Tony fashion though, he lies to her and tells her that he is actually able to use this Special Idol at Final Four, even though the Survivor Rulebook states that he must use it at Final Five, the next Tribal Council. Also having a normal Idol, his hope in telling this lie is so that the others believe he is safe all the way to Final Three, when in fact, he is vulnerable at Final Four no matter how many Idols he has. "The game is in my hands," he tells us and he also reveals that he believes his best bet for Final Three may be Trish and Kass.
Chaos Kass Returns. Now actually wanting to firm up a true Final Three alliance with Kass, Tony goes to her and pitches the idea, but also lets her know that Woo told him on the canoe that she was gunning for him, but that it's OK and in the past. Kass doesn't appreciate his cockiness and her current plan is to try to make Tony as unlikeable as possible. "Chaos Kass is back," she tells us. She then goes right to Woo and asks him about his talk with Tony. Woo denies saying anything, so Kass then confronts Tony. Now exposed for having thrown Woo under the bus, Tony flips out and he and Kass exchange words. "You sealed your fate, congratulations," Tony tells Kass. Kass truthfully tells Woo that Tony even swore on his wife and baby to take Kass to the end...a promise that Woo never heard himself. Tony seems now to be totally done with Kass and he makes fun of her, calling her an animal and attempting to speak to her in llama. "She's an insult to the game," he says. But the damage is done. "My trust in Tony has gone down tremendously," Woo tells us. When Tony goes away to blow off some steam, Kass tells Spencer and Woo that they need to really band together and vote out Trish, since Tony's Idol makes him pretty much untouchable. The bad news? Trish overhears this conversation and is not about to lay down or put up with Kass's "chaos" at camp.
Immunity Challenge. It was a series of puzzles, first a rope untangling, then a ladder puzzle, then a step-building puzzle. Finally, a table slide puzzle needed to be solved to win Immunity. Tony led the entire challenge, but with his back against the wall, Spencer mounted an impressive come-from-behind victory, blowing through the slide puzzle quite miraculously. "You solved that so fast I barely saw it happening," Probst told him. "I needed it," Spencer said. And he was right. Had Spencer lost, he was the easy vote out, but his being immune now makes things mighty interesting. "My worst-case scenario came true today," Tony says to the camera.
Cat Fight. Congratulations for Spencer were short-lived, when almost immediately after returning from the challenge, Trish decided to lay in to Kass. "Do you think I'm stupid? Or deaf?" Trish asks Kass. Trish goes on a rant yelling insults and attempting to put Kass in her place. Kass did seem a bit taken aback but held her ground. They both exchanged insults. Trish then said publicly, "You're a vicious and cruel human being. And everyone sees it the way I do, except for you." After Trish leaves the area, Spencer tells Kass that they really need to work on Woo, because if the other three band together, there's nothing they will be able to do to save Kass.
Caught in the Middle. Woo confronts Tony about having promised Final Three with Kass and Tony does some major repair work (re: scrambling) on his and Woo's relationship in the game. Woo is now genuinely suspicious of Tony's intentions, but Tony goes on to promise Woo on his "dead dad" amongst other living family members. "Maybe it's time to make that big move," Woo tells us. Tony and Trish want Woo to vote with them to get out Kass, while Spencer and Kass want Woo to vote out Trish (since Tony, they figure, is protected by the Idol). Woo is really in the middle, but he goes to Kass and tells her that he's decided he's going to vote out Trish. But of course, Tony is snooping and sees Woo shake hands with the enemies. He promptly pulls Woo aside and the two talk as Tony tries desperately to reel Woo back in.
Tribal Council. Much of the talk revolves around the Trish/Kass confrontation. Woo points out to Jeff that Kass and Spencer are once again working together, mostly out of necessity, but nonetheless. Some unpleasantries are exchanged between Kass and Trish, with Kass referring to Trish as a "psycho bitch" at one point. Tony goes on and on about the situation, leaving Jeff Probst truly speechless. Spencer says he feels like he is in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Tony then pulls out his "bag of tricks" and shows both of his Idols to everyone. So what will Woo do? And will Tony utilize either or both of his Idols, since this is his last chance in the game to do so? It was time to vote.
The Vote. Tony stands as if to play his Idol, but then simply gives the "normal" Idol to Jeff, telling him that it "stays on the island." The votes were then read: Trish - Kass - Trish....and Trish? Wow, it wasn't just Woo. In a 4-1 unanimous vote, Trish was blindsided. Kass clapped when the verdict was read. Trish's torch was snuffed and her final words were, "Good luck," but those words were met with an unexpected (or expected?) reaction when Kass then flipped her the bird, a gesture that drew some head shakes from members of the jury.
Analysis. Confused with what just happened? Be sure to read my full analysis of tonight's episode as we also look ahead to the Final Four - Tony, Spencer, Kass and Woo - and their chances of winning the game.
Next Time On...Be sure to brace yourself for the two-hour "Survivor: Cagayan" Finale and Live Reunion Show next Wednesday night, May 21, on CBS. Of course, check back here for coverage leading up to the Finale, a full recap of the episode and Reunion Show, and my final round of exit interviews with the four remaining contestants next Thursday.

But it's not all genetics; environment and lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol consumption and the use of certain medications play a role too. For both men and women, having a spouse with gout raised the risk approximately 1.65 times, compared with someone in the general population.
"Since genes and environment both contribute to risk of gout, higher genetic and environmental similarities translate to higher risk," Dr. Kuo explains.
The study also found gender differences in the relative contribution of each risk component. Heritability (genetic factors) was responsible for 35 percent of a man's risk, but only 17 percent of a woman's risk. Common environmental factors were responsible for 28 percent of a man's risk and 18.5 percent of a woman's risk. The rest of a person's risk is made up of non-shared, environmental factors.
Dr. Kuo says researchers do not have an explanation for the gender differences they found. It may be biological; gout is known to be significantly more common in men than women, and women tend to develop it later in life. One explanation is that the female hormone estrogen enhances the excretion of uric acid by the kidney. But lifestyle choices also tend to vary by gender. For example, women in Taiwan typically consume fewer calories and less alcohol than men, he says, and certain foods and alcohol have been linked to the development of gout.
Dr. Kuo hopes his study's findings will lead to research looking for susceptibility genes for gout (the study points out that few genes have been found so far) as well as more epidemiologic studies in other countries to identify shared environmental factors within families that contribute to the disease. He believes his results likely hold true for people in other countries and cultures, not just the Taiwanese, he says.
Scott Zashin, MD, a rheumatologist in Dallas, agrees. "It's something I always assumed was the case, but it's an important study in that it helps people remember there is a family link," he says.
Based on the results of this study, Dr. Zashin says, people with a family history of gout may want to consider regularly getting their uric acid levels checked and adjusting their lifestyle, if the results come back high.
"If your uric acid is high, you might cut back on some things that might make you develop gout," he explains. "Gout is the one type of arthritis where there is definite evidence that watching your diet and having one that's low in foods with high uric acid content can decrease your risk of developing gout."

no is derek llambias, so basically yes lol
hmmm....i've just realised something, surely when it says the deal can now be completed i can press cancel....
If you can then that would be a bug, yes.
post it in the bugs forum, certainly...
edit: maybe you'll need a savegame ready to upload, now sounds like a good time to make one, if you have one from just before that'd probably be useful too.
hmmm interesting development they let me do it for coloccini but for taylor it didnt give me the option of cancelling
Bayal Sall is another decent Defender, very tall and good in there air, for replacing Tayls.
Ya good point but there are too much paeodophiles on this
Surely you can get 2 top class defenders with £20,000,000, just adjust the remaining money so it is part of wage budget and offer loads.
they are only giving me 20% of transfer fee's obtained
they actually brought it up in a press conference that it is rumoured taylor was sold without my consent....impressed
Villa have rejected £10m for davies, found a good defender called Planus who i was told is a definite purchase, club have rejected £12m, can get jagielka for about £7m-£9m but not sure he is good enough?
You may want to cast you eye over portugal and brazilian leagues for good-value defenders...
Signed Jagielka £7.25m still enough for another player though will look at portugal and brazil leagues
tried plenty but all rejected still i have money left i will try and get another one in as cacapa isnt good enough back up anyway, and like you say jagielka is versatile
I play collo and nelsen (3.7mil from blackburn) at CB and they have conceded less than 10 in 20 league games
jankulovski and beye full backs - brick walls
btw set collo's tackling to easy otherwise he gets booked every game
byal sall doesnt seem to be on mine and as for bikey reading got promoted so his value has shot up
Vermaelen DLC for about 4-5m does the job as cover.
just watch out thats all
I've been thinking about selling him... he's had more red cards than enough. Probably cost me a few games, too.
ya he's a bit of a mad man
is this collo? i wouldnt sell him, he wins like every header for me its mental
like i said try putting tackling to easy to he doesnt go in snapping everyone, still defends well

How Fashion Industry is using Social Media to impact branding, awareness and sales
The use of electronic tools for the purpose of sharing and discussing information and experiences with others…
Why Social Media
- 93% say a company should have presence in social media
- 85% say a company should use it to interact with them
- Almost 60% of Americans interact with a brand on a social media site
- 56% feel a stronger connection to brands when use social media
- It's About Relationships, Not Pitches
- Monitor your brand and reputation online
- Social Media Exposure: Better Than Traditional Ads and Cheaper
- Monitor others brands/reputations
- Interact with your consumers
- Track ROI better
- Men/Women 18-34 yrs
- &nsbp;&nsbp;&nsbp; – 33% want companies to market to them via social media
Fashion Industry & Social Media
- The hottest trend in fashion right now is Social Media. Social media has become the hottest trend since skinny jeans and stiletto heels
- Journalists, fashion incubators, retail gurus and people who were just plain interested in the industry are weighing in on a topic via social media that has notoriously shut its doors to anyone deemed an outsider.
- In the past six months, the amount of fashion insiders embracing social media has skyrocketed. The Fashion Industry has adopted social media as a marketing platform to reach their customers online & reignite brand passion and customer loyalty.
- By letting the public behind the fashion influencer curtain, stalwarts and luminaries have created and connected to an entirely new audience, and capitalized on the 400 million Facebook users and more than 22 million Twitter users.
- Von Furstenberg is one of the most beloved and popular designers on Twitter having over 22,000 followers. The viral marketing capabilities of re-tweeting by this targeted group is something an advertising budget cannot buy. Within the last year of having a major online and social media presence, von Furstenberg's online traffic has increased by 13% and sales "have been great" according to a source in the corporate offices of DvF.
- Victoria's Secret, has 2.63 million fans on Facebook and 1.7 million for Pink – thorough which the brand is able to connect with their customers and monetize on it through awareness, loyalty and engagement.
Fashion Industry Uses Location-Based Marketing
Marc Jacobs partnership with Foursquare
- Fashion giant Marc Jacobs used location-based services Foursquare to deliver its brand messages to its customers.
- For Fashion Week 2010, the brand decided to go beyond just digitally streaming their runway shows. It took the online interactions offline through Foursquare.
- Marc Jacobs and Foursquare created the "Fashion Victim" badge, which allowed Fashion Week attendees (and others) to "check-in" at any Marc by Marc Jacobs stores in New York and around the country to unlock the badge. Four people who unlocked the badge in New York were randomly chosen to receive tickets to the Marc Jacobs show. The partnership provided both Marc Jacobs and Foursquare with word of mouth marketing.
- Foursquare and other location-based services like Loopt and Gowalla offer retailers the opportunity to increase in-store visits and foot traffic. If executed well, these location-enhanced shopping experiences can translate into improved customer loyalty, referrals, and sales, both online and offline.
- Tasti D-Lite the frozen dessert chain popular in New York ,rolledout TastiRewards a rewards program that incentivizes customers to associate their Twitter and Foursquare accounts with their Tasti D-Lite membership cards. By syncing their loyalty programs with Foursquare, they're enabling frequent shoppers to share their recent purchases with their communities. When a user posts shopping tips or deals at a particular location, that post is essentially an advertising impression on Foursquare, Twitter and Facebook.
Getting Cozy in Communities – Social Media Strategies
The majority of the industry thought this would tarnish brand image if they engaged in social media. Now almost every brand or retailer, from American Apparel, Sears and JCPenney, to Oscar De La Renta and Louis Vuitton, have created a presence in several social communities.
Creating Niche Communities – Social Media Strategies
- Fashion Brands are experimenting with development of their own social networks or even invitation-only communities. Luxury brands Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel and Burberry have launched their own social networks or added social components to their existing web sites
- niche communities such as Weardrobe (recently purchased by Like.com), Modepass, and Lookbook.Nu,have yielded impressive ROI, as their audiences are more likely to become loyal customers
Embracing Mobile Applications – Social Media Strategies
- Fashion Brands have taken to developing apps via iPhone in a big way.
- Chanel shows its runway collections via iPhone app, and the Gilt Groupe app allows users to shop sample sales and receive alerts as to when sales are starting.
- StyleCaster's app lets users access style tips, individually customize news feeds and fashion trends, and houses a large online retail catalog of brand-name clothing.
- JustLuxe is a digital global concierge company whose extremely interactive app comes with over 1,000 member benefits. Utilizing GPS, the app will recommend participating restaurants and hotels in the user's area. It's the first style-oriented app that leverages location-based mobile marketing
The Rise of Style Bloggers – Social Media Strategies
In 2009, bloggers had an enormous impact on fashion, affecting everything from print publishing to how brands market themselves online. There are thousands of style-related blogs on the web these days, and those dedicated to their craft have earned industry recognition.
The Impact of User-Generated Content – Social Media Strategies
- User-generated content is key to social media and fashion. From blogs to Facebook photo contributions to product reviews – user-generated content is where it's at.
- More brands are realizing the collective power of their customers' networks by encouraging fan contributions.
- One of the most notable and consistent campaigns built around user-generated content and social engagement has been from the brand Charlotte Russe. The brand's weekly trivia contest on Twitter drives followers to the web site or YouTube channel with the hope of snagging some excellent prizes (the brand recently gave away a jacket worn on Gossip Girl).
- Charlotte Russe is running "Be The Next Charlotte Russe Design Star" a t-shirt design contest where the winner will have his or her shirt produced and sold online. A fashion-filled trip to NYC is also included
- Another great example of user-generated content used in conjunction with a niche network is Burberry's Art of the Trench site.
The Impact of Bloggers on New York Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week Feb10 Social Conversations
- In past 30 days leading to the NY fashion week , there have been 15,996 online articles, blog posts, tweets and discussions on New York Fashion Week 2010.
- Fashion Week Trends In Real-Time: 45% of NYFW participants used Twitter to discuss events. From models to designers, PR gurus to celebrities, people tweeted and twitpic'd their experiences.
- Fashion Week Is Written In-Real Time : 53% of the coverage came from online articles and blog posts occurring between 2/13/2010 to 2/20/2010. As magazines posted photos and commentary of shows, bloggers were hot on the heels, reblogging, writing and linking to photos and trend information as they were released.
- Established news outlets led real-time coverage: Bloggers used the CUT blog, New York magazine and Coutorture as their main fashion week news sources. NY Mag and Coutorture are established, mainstream fashion resources.

Thursday Results
Princeton, N.J. - The men's swimming team used some key performances from a group of seniors in their last go-around at the Ivy League Championships to position itself right in the middle of a group gunning for third place. Harvard and Princeton wasted little time at Thursday night's finals, already establishing a near 150-point lead on the rest of the field.
Although preliminaries were held on Thursday morning, the championships really got underway with the 200 Freestyle Relay. A sub-20 second leg from senior Peter Amos was critical as the Penn team of Alex Porter, Amos, Rhoads Worster and Dillon McHugh held off Dartmouth by .06 to take fourth place.
In the 200 IM, senior Brendan McHugh (1:48.69) and Rhoads Worster (1:48.88) finished within two tenths of a second of each other while ending sixth and seventh overall. Chris Lyons and Konner Scott were the top two finishers in the bonus consolation race, placing 17th and 18th, respectively.
Senior diver Jeff Cragg was among a group of six who achieved a NCAA 'A' cut with a score of 318.85 on the 1-meter boards, finishing in third place. The night closed with another great swim by a Penn relay team, this time finishing third in the 400 Medley. Dillon and Brendan McHugh had the team in position with the opening 200 in the back and breaststroke, while Worster and Porter took over down the stretch, touching the wall with a time of 3:15.41, the second-best time in Penn history. Columbia was DQ'd in the race, allowing the Quakers to jump ahead of them into fourth place.
Competition resumes tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. with preliminary heats in the 400 IM, 100 Butterfly, 200 Freestyle, 100 Breaststroke, 100 Backstroke and 3-meter diving. The 1000 Freestyle will also be held, leading into Friday's finals at 6 p.m.

1. Harvard -- 471
2. Princeton -- 444
3. Yale -- 289
4. Penn -- 245.5

Snatch the colorfully seedy Rick's Cafe Americain out of Casablanca, plop it down on a little Caribbean island, fill it with customers at rough-hewn tables gulping down a kind of fish stew, crank up loud, booty-swinging cumbia tunes on the P.A., and give this place the improbable name, Cafe Gourmet.
The cafe is on San Andres, a dot on the map about 150 miles off the Venezuelan coast. (Oddly, this island and two other neighboring specks belong to Colombia, which is hundreds of miles further away than Venezuela.)
You came here to enjoy a Latin-flavored resort island perhaps best known for three dozen nearby dive sites running along the third largest reef in the world. Waiting for tourists staying on the island and day-visitors from cruise ships are the underwater delights of spectacular caves, cliffs – one drops down a straight 300 feet – and sunken ships. Adding even more color to the scene is a painters' palette of parrot fish, snappers, groupers, butterfly fish and smaller frogfishes, pipehorses, spotfin gobies and spotted shorttail snake eels, to name just a few of the reefies.
Apres-dive, chances are you'll find the chow at the Cafe Gourmet is pretty good, particularly its broiled snapper and other fish you might have seen darting around the caves and cliffs earlier today. Among biggies on the menu is a Colombian favorite called rondon, a tasty stew of fish, snails, yam, yucca, pork bits, plantain and dumplings (and seemingly anything else handy in the kitchen), cooked in peppered coconut milk.
But what the crowds stand in line for to get into this restaurant-bar in beautiful downtown San Andres – one of many good eateries around the island – is the diversity of its peppy Caribbean music, often played by a local band called Creole Group.
Batting out tunes tonight are five band members – one strumming a guitar, another plucking away on a banjo, one thumping out bass notes on a stringed-up washbucket, one shaking maracas and the fifth scratching a donkey's jawbone with a stick. Together, these guys get the crowds up and swinging to classic Colombian salsa-ish cumbias, old-time calypsos, reggae from Jamaica, Trinidadian soca (a combination of soul and calypso), melodious merengue from the Dominican Republic, peppy brukdown from Belize, call-and-response funji from Tortola and sexy zouk from Martinique.
Even if you don't dance, it's a safe bet you'll find yourself toe-tapping or moving other body parts to the infectious tunes of the Caribbean.
If you liked what you heard, the band will be happy to sell you CDs of their songs. A disc will set you back around 20,000 Colombian pesos. But don't let that number turn you off – it's only 10 bucks or so in U.S. currency.
Staying there: The island offers some 25 tourist-class hotels. Among top-rated properties is the Decameron Aquarium, which has a good number of its 232 rooms arranged in circular clusters above the ocean.
Getting there: San Andres has an international airport, but there are no scheduled nonstop flights from the U.S. at present. Instead, passengers flying from U.S. gateways like New York-JFK, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Miami have to connect to nonstops to San Andres at key airports in Latin America. Connections are typically made at Panama City, Panama, and at Colombian terminals such as Bogota, Barranquilla and Medellin.

Linda Wells, ICAN Program Coordinator NMSU P. O. Box 30003, MSC 3AE Las Cruces, NM 88003 firstname.lastname@example.com
A. Use of MyPlate/MyPlate or the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
Material based substantially on MyPlate or 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Most of the materials used come from the PowerPanther and Eat Smart, Play Hard program.
B. Scope
Scope of information is a mix of appropriate and less than appropriate concepts.
The scope of the lessons is appropriate, but some of the materials included in the packet are inserts from something else, different format, and not well designed for 3rd grade students.
C. Purpose
Purpose of material clearly stated in title or introduction.
D. Organization
Material is organized but not all major points are easily identified.
Packet of materials is more like a grant proposal, and includes a lot of state-specific qualifications with acronyms and abbreviations not spelled out.
E. Accuracy
Information is accurate and recommendations current with content of MyPlate and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
F. Learner Background
Material assumes that reader has some background information.
Assumes that teachers (classroom or Extension) have nutrition background. Nothing in packet about the training for student nutrition aides, only 3rd grade classes.
G. Learning Objectives
Learning objectives identifiable and met somewhat.
Objectives of the program as presented last year seem to have been met. However some of the 'performance measures' were not measurable as presented in the packet.
H. Learning Activities, Projects, or Interactive Learning Tools
Material includes a variety of stimulating and interesting learning experiences, questions, projects, or suggestions for further action that will involve the reader.
But it seems there's an awful lot being packed into a limited class time, I wonder if it can really be accomplished as written. And the lesson on activity had more paper and pencil time than active moving time.
I. Objectivity/Sponsor Bias
Subject matter presented objectively and fairly. No brand name promotion or obvious sponsor bias.
Only promoting MyPyramid and Eat Smart, Play Hard programs.
J. Inclusion of learning objectives, learner activities, instructional aids, lesson plans, evaluation component, identification of required instructional materials, web site with additional materials.
Material includes five or more of the above.
Lists sources of materials, good inclusion of evaluation forms, invitation letters, etc., although the student evaluations seemed pretty involved for 3rd grade, small writing space, etc. There are simpler ways to do that.
K. Recipes (if included)
Overall, recipes are compatible with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Could specify low fat cream cheese, low fat ham, etc. more explicitly.
L. Recipes (if included)
Recipes do not include any nutrient analysis.
Not necessary for this project.
M. Instructional Resources
Instructor resources included with some suggestions for enhancing the teaching process.
N. Credits, References and Resources (Including dates, publisher, etc.)
Current and complete credits, references, and resources listed.
O. Summary
All major ideas summarized or reviewed to reinforce key concepts; summaries easily identified.
A. Role Models
Not applicable.
B. Multi-cultural Representation
Not applicable.
C. Different lifestyles and food patterns
Material reflects, but does not emphasize, a variety of values, practices, and/or food patterns representative of different lifestyles, cultures, and socioeconomic levels.
Some Hispanic foods mentioned, not much African-American noticed.
Print Materials
A. Writing Style
Main ideas are clear, but sequence of information may not flow smoothly in all sections.
It seems more like a grant proposal and report than a curriculum at places. There are multiple spelling and punctuation errors throughout the text.
B. Writing Approach
Writing approach is positive and personal. Active voice is used most of the time.
C. Vocabulary
Vocabulary used is appropriate for intended audience. Minimizes use of technical terms and if used, are defined.
D. Supportive Illustrations
All of the illustrations contribute to the material and are on the same page as their textual references. Tables and graphs are as simple and easy to read as possible. All information needed in graphs and tables is provided in a form requiring no further explanation.
Illustrations are only as copies of Power Panther materials, a few others as copies of other handout material. I couldn't figure out what the symbols on the "Favorite Things to Do" sheet were supposed to mean!
E. Layout and Design
Color, design, and layout of material are adequate but do not stimulate interest.
Design of Power Panther materials is fine, I'm familiar with them. Little design is included in rest of materials.
F. Visual Quality
Paper weight is heavy enough, print is mostly easy to read without much of body text in capital letters.
Power Panther materials are fine. And most of the classroom materials are good. Some of the beginning materials (that seem to be a grant justification) are not easily readable, small text, etc.
G. Headings/Cueing Devices
Topic headings are not clear and/or are provided for most but not all topic areas. Limited or no cueing devices included.
Headings used, but not boxes, shading, etc. Page breaks are uneven.
H. Approximate Reading Level
Reading level is at 9th grade level or above.
Text of this packet is intended for teachers, not students. Student material included is mostly at appropriate reading level, some seems high for 3rd grade.
Overall Comments on Resource Reviewed
A. Positive Points of the Reviewed Resource:
The overall design of the project is excellent. Inclusion of sample invitation letters & evaluation forms is very helpful. Class supply lists are excellent. Some class activities are very cute ideas, some could easily be improved.
B. Points that Could Be Improved:
Basic editing. More activity in activity class. More uniformity of materials. More specifics about training provided to student nutrition aides. Other recipes. Simplify evaluation forms for students. Improved layout design would make it more readable.
C. General Comments
Good ideas, obviously a lot of organizing went into making this program work, but more could be done with organizing the materials. The nutrition information is all solid, no problems there.
D. Overall Summary
I can certainly see this as a good idea plan for a series of classes, but it's not complete. Someone could not simply take this and use it as is without a lot more work.

Premier League: Arsenal 2-1 Crystal Palace
Arsenal left it late to secure victory on the opening day of the season with a 2-1 win over managerless Crystal Palace.
The home side dominated possession for large periods of the opening half but found themselves behind as Brede Hangeland rose to head the visitors in front from a corner.
The hosts managed to pull themselves back into the game before the break though, when Laurent Koscielny flicked Alexis Sanchez's free kick beyond Julian Speroni.
Arsene Wenger's men huffed and puffed in the second half but struggled to break their opponents down.
Jason Puncheon was sent off for a second bookable offence late in the game, and just when it looked like both sides would be collecting a point, Aaron Ramsey popped up to pounce on a Speroni parry and bundle home the winner.

The 20th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place on Jan. 18, 2014, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Here is what this Screen Actors Guild Award winner said backstage in the Screen Actors Guild Awards press room.
Life Achievement Award
Would you say that today is one of the best days of your life?
Oh, without question. You didn't ask, but I'm going to tell you anyway. The difference between getting an Oscar and having an honor like this tonight is that the Oscar is really meant for a performance in a specific film. This [SAG Life Achievement Award], I don't call it an award. I call it an honor, because it's about a lifetime.
I was told I had one minute [to make my speech], and I thought, "Wait a minute! I'm Puerto Rican! I can't even say hello in one minute." And I worked very hard to make it brief and the essence of it as possible.
In a way, it was good that they limited me, because it really made me search for the essence of what I feel. And boy, that song absolutely says it all. And it's a song I use when I do concerts. I end the show with that. It's a great song. It's only a piece of a song, by the way, that Sinatra sang for a long time.
After all these years, Latinas are still fighting an uphill battle in the entertainment industry. Are you surprised?
I'm not surprised, because as long as you're going to have immigration and the reform of immigration, it's always going to be difficult. A lot of people say, "What's your secret? I really don't have one. But it's about persevering.
We'll get there. The door is ajar — Ricardo Montalban said that — and I'm saying we have to open that door some more. It will happen. I don't think it will happen in my lifetime. I'm 82, so I'm lucky if I have another 10 years.
Can you talk about your long friendship with Morgan Freeman?
We go back years and years and years. He reminded me of that tonight. It's been at least 46 years, maybe more, when we were doing "The Electric Company" together, along with Bill Cosby … along with Irene [Cara]. We knew each other then, and we just hit it off. We just have this super, wonderful chemistry. We make each other laugh a lot.
And I thought it was so fabulous that he said just a couple of weeks ago to SAG-AFTRA, "I want to sit at her table. And I want to walk the red carpet with her." He didn't have to do that. All he had to do is present me with the award. That's the kind of fellow he is.
And that's the kind of gal I am. I would have done the same for him on other occasions. We're dear friends. We have enormous respect for each other. And we do make each other laugh, and we do get raunchy.
Can you put into words what this SAG Life Achievement Award means to you?
Did I already say this? I've had one glass of wine, and boy, I'm a disaster. One glass of wine, and I can't speak. Two glasses of wine: I belong to anybody. So did I already say how it's different [from an Oscar]? I did. So that's what it's about to me.
But you know what's really great about this evening for me? My grandchildren Justin and Cameron and Fernanda Luisa, my daughter, that means everything to me. When you're 82, if you don't know that's what life is really about, something is really wrong with you. I've already turned down some shows on Broadway that take time. I said, "I don't have that kind of time anymore. I have to be with those I adore and love." It's lousy timing. I wish that had happened sooner, but that's life.
You look amazing for your age ….
Have I had any work done? No, 'though if I have to tell you the truth, if I had, I wouldn't tell you!
What is the secret to living a long well-lived life?
Living in the moment, smelling the roses, smelling the coffee — whatever it is that makes you happy. I think we spend an enormous amount of time resenting the terrible things that happened to us. And let me tell you, if you read my book, then you know a lot of things happened to me. And you just have to put those out of the way and say, "But look at tonight."
Look at the wonderful reception that I got. Honestly, I didn't expect that. I just didn't. I expected people to stand up and applaud, because that's the respectful thing to do. But I didn't expect people to cheer and carry on. And to see Meryl Streep going [she gives a nod of approval], that's amazing. I feel amazing.
Which designer are you wearing?
I may be the only performer here tonight who's actually paid for this stuff. It does not go back at midnight or in the morning. I bought these. This [jacket] is Herve Leger. It's not
Hervé, because if it were Hervé, it would have an accent with the "e." And this [dress] is Roberto Cavalli. But you know, it's so interesting.
This particular biker-chick jacket doesn't have silver studs. It has burnished gold studs, which I love. I just think it's edgy, but it doesn't look like I'm trying to look too young. And I think it's elegant and just terrific. I feel I look swell!

NEVER WORN!!!! Ivory with beaded champagne lace trim. Strapless, sweetheart neckline, corset-style back. This is a discontinued style. My mother-in-law bought this dress for me as a "surprise" after going with me dress shopping.

It comes with a finger tip length veil style #4501-0353 (Beaded with imitation pearls, Swarovski crystals & flower embroidery), size 16 (street size 10) full slip (David's Bridal # 603) and garment bag. Can be separated for the right offer, but veil matches dress perfectly. This dress is will be perfect for another bride, just not for me!

Tuesday night's game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees lacked its usual drama, but there was a vision of future promise as the Red Sox young bats powered the Sox over the rival Yankees 9-4 at Yankee Stadium. The victory gave Joe Kelly his first win in a Red Sox uniform.
The offensive explosion started early for the young Red Sox bats. The team jumped out to an early 6-0 lead against Yankees rookie right-hander Shane Greene (4-2). Yoenis Cespedes kicked off the scoring in the first inning with an RBI double that gave the Red Sox a quick 1-0 lead. Mike Napoli's sacrifice fly scored the second run of the inning, giving Kelly a 2-0 advantage to work with.
Kelly held the Yankees bats at bay, striking out four batters through two innings. Then the Red Sox exploded with a four-fun third inning. Three of the runs came off a three-run homer off that bat of Daniel Nava followed by a solo shot by Xander Bogaerts. The Yankees were able to get one run back in the bottom of the inning to make the score 6-1, but Mookie Betts got that run back in the fourth inning as he launched a solo home run into the stands to make the score 7-1.
Kelly (1-1) went on to allow to more runs to the Yankees, but was able to take a 7-3 lead into the seventh inning to record his first victory as the Sox eventually won the game 9-4. It was a great night for the young bats and the Red Sox offense. Bogaerts was particularly optimistic about the offensive output.
After the game, he said, "This season definitely has not been the way that we all wanted, we all expected it to be. But there's a lot of talent coming up and hopefully we can blend it together and have a good future." The 21-year-old Bogaerts was just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle on Tuesday night.
The Red Sox send young rookie RHP Anthony Ranaudo to the mound Wednesday night against Hiroki Kuroda (9-8, 3.88). Ranaudo will be looking to remain undefeated, as he is 3-0 in his first three major league starts. Dustin Pedroia sat out for the third straight game due to concussion-like symptoms.

Jim Moldenhauer of the New Glarus Fire Department was among 3 who received awards presented by New Glarus Police Chief Steve Albaugh for saving the life of a 2-year-old child that nearly drowned late in 2009. As a First Responder of the New Glarus Fire Department, Jim responded directly to the scene when New Glarus Fire/First Response was paged to the potential drowning incident. Jim's efforts in combination with the homeowner and the responding NGPD officer saved the life of the child. The New Glarus Fire Department is proud to have Jim Moldenhauer as a member. His actions during the incident are an example of the type of response that the New Glarus Fire Department has prided itself on for many years. Congratulations to Jim on the recognition he received serving the community as only he knows how.
The Monroe Hospital Foundation has awarded the New Glarus Fire Department with a grant to assist in the purchase of a rescue manikin. This manikin will allow us to more realistically simulate rescue situations by providing a simulated victim without endangering the safety of real person. We train year around for any situation we can imagine or simulate and are constantly looking for ways to make ourselves better firefighters. This tool will certainly enable us to do that.
Thanks to a generous grant through the New Glarus Community Foundation, the New Glarus Fire Department was able to purchase flashlights for each member to have on their coats. Having a powerful flashlight quickly accessible is an invaluable tool for most all operations whether it be search and rescue operations or just working at night. We at the New Glarus Fire Department would like to thank all of New Glarus for its continued support as we work to keep our friends and neighbors safe.

My Zimbra mail server, which uses Postfix, is working fine.
I am able to receive mail at 25 from Yahoo, Hotmail etc., but if I block my 25 port for incoming then mail will stop to come into my mail server as my secure SMTP port 465 is already running.
So is there any way to receive mail at another port like on 465 insted of port 25?
Thanking you,

Is it allowed to try and cut down on food costs, to take food and drink into the Disney parks?

Is it allowed to try and cut down on food costs, to take food and drink into the Disney parks?
Food and drink (no glass containers) yes, coolers to store them in NO.
We usually take some fruit, cookies and potato chips, just to keep us going
This is correct.Quote:

We've never once had a problem with bringing in our soft sided cooler to any Disney park. It's a good size (and can get quite heavy) and no security check has ever prevented us from bringing it or its contents in. Once, we forgot and left a butter knife in it and they hemmed and hawed, but decided since it didn't have a sharp blade to let it through.
We don't bring glass, or alcohol, but anything else is fair game (again, only at Disney parks).
The other parks have varying restrictions that they may or may not enforce.
You arent allowed to take family size snacks into aquatica - or drinking straws etc. Not disney i know, but just thought id mention it!
Sea World and Universal have restrictions too...

How Did AIB Pass Stress Test?
Here are some interesting questions from an Irish MEP which boil down to this: How come Allied Irish Banks passed the European bank stress test in July and three months later the Irish authorities stepped in to announce a €3 billion capital injection?
Alan Kelly, an opposition Labour MEP, has written to European competition commissioner Joaquín Almunia, who oversees state aid programs, posing three questions.
- Was the bank giving a truly accurate assessments of its projected losses? What kind of tests were applied to AIB's loan books? For example, did they factor in this any projected National Asset Management Agency discounts to the AIB loan book which should have been known?
- Was the stress test really a stress test or was it designed to inject some positive sentiment in the European markets?
- With the Irish taxpayer already being bled dry by the banks, can the Commission be certain that no further capital will be required? Will it publish detailed assessments of how they came to their conclusions?
It's not clear how much Mr. Almunia's department had to do with the technical design of the stress tests that were coordinated through the Committee of European Banking Supervisors. But Mr. Kelly's intervention is only the latest to call into question the rigor of the stress test exercise.

This is the true story of Willem, a young boy who risked his life in the resistance movement in Holland during World War II. He was in danger because he carried messages for the Underground. His life was also at risk because his family took in and hid Jewish children who would have been deported and killed by the German Nazis who invaded Holland. Willem and his family and the children they saved all survived the war; but they would never forget living through the frightening years from 1940 through 1944, when Holland was finally liberated.

Police are investigating a deadly motorcycle crash that happened Friday evening in northwest Rockingham County.
The single-vehicle crash occurred just before 5:30 p.m. on Criders Road about a half-mile south of Bergton Road.
Michael Scott Dove, 44, of Fulks Run, was riding a 2000 Harley Davidson north on Criders Road when he crossed a bridge and struck the guardrail on the left side, according to the Virginia State Police.
Dove was flown to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, where he died at about 2:20 this morning, said Sgt. F.L. Tyler, a spokesman for the state police.
Dove was the only person involved in the incident.
The crash remains under investigation, and it's not clear whether speed, alcohol or other factors played a role.

ORONO, Maine --University of Maine men's basketball head coach Ted Woodward has announced that Marko Pirovic, a 6'7" forward from Bolton, Ontario, has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend the University of Maine in the fall and play for the men's basketball team.
"We are very excited to have Marko join our basketball program," said Woodward. "Marko is a tremendous player and a great student! He has played on the elite level of Canada basketball including the Canadian Junior National team, and representing Team Canada in World competitions. He is a highly versatile player with a variety of skills on both ends of the court, shoots it, and rebounds at a strong level. He has the skills to cause mismatches on the offensive end of the floor, and the size to provide a defensive and rebounding presence across the frontline. We look forward to his addition to our program in the fall!"
Pirovic was a member of the Canadian Junior National team that finished third in the FIBA Americas Tournament last summer in Brazil. He has been a representative for Team Canada for the FIBA 3-on-3 World Cup in both 2011 (finished seventh in the world), and 2012 (finished fourth in the world) where he was the tournament's second leading scorer. Pirovic was a member of Team Ontario at both the 15U and 17U level, winning the National Championship in 2009 and 2011. He averaged a double-double and broke the finals record for rebounds in a game with 26. He recently averaged 21.7 ppg and 8.4 rpg playing for Thornlea Prep this past season.
The eligibility of all student-athletes is contingent upon admission to the University of Maine and compliance with all NCAA rules, including registration with the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Jill Von Crastenburg
|Jill Von Crastenburg
|[[Appearance::Grand Theft Auto IV]]
|Full Name
|Jill Von Crastenburg
|Date of Birth
|Place of Birth
|Liberty City
|Age Now
Mr. Von Crastenburg (father)
Mrs. Von Crastenburg (mother)
Jill Von Crastenburg is a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Background and personality
Jill Von Crastenburg is a Celebutante Socialite living in Alderney with billionaire parents. She is the best friend of Cloe Parker, a parody of Nicole Richie's (Jill's counterpart) friendship with Paris Hilton (Cloe's). It is notable that although Hilton and Richie were born less than a year apart, Cloe is anywhere from 5 to 11 years Jill's senior.
Jill is very sexually active and invoved with drug use, even though she is very young, and is extremely spoiled. According to the LCPD database she is only 13, although another source says she is a college dropout, but again confirms that she is only in her teens. She also has a history of drug and alcohol abuse. She had a three-week relationship with 14-years-older Cuban baseball player Ernesto Asaltacunas. She has been arrested for public lewdness.
Family and Personal Wealth
Jill is a member of the super-rich Von Crastenburgs who are old East Coast money and are said to own half of Algonquin's Finacial District and possess a multi-billion dollar fortune, the family own many large homes including a 19-bedroom mansion along Owl Creek Ave in Westdyke, Alderney, a 63-room manor somewhere Upstate and a enormous penthouse along Culombus Ave in the Middle Park East area of Algonquin. Jill's whole family enjoy a life of ultra-luxury and extreame-excess, they also own several private planes including a jumbo jet with it's own health spa and screening room and the Von Crastenburg's own and oparate many charities and art organization's in Liberty City and have donated over $300 million every month. Despite amassing one of the largest fortunes in the world the Von Crastenburg's are said to pay no tax's (according to I'm Rich) because they claim to practice their religion inside their house making them True Americans
Lifestyle and Extravagance
Like her worst best friend Cloe Parker, Jill enjoy's all the perks of being a billionaire heiress living in Liberty City like recieving a free Grotti sports car every christmas from the dealership and receiving a lifetime supply of food from any Burger Shot outlet in the American North-East (excluding Alderney the Freak State). Jill is also set to host a new reality TV show titled America's Sexiest Terrorist and just like all the other DIY Debutante's featured on I'm Rich, Jill's extravagance goes as far as having erotic images painted on her bedroom wall by a celebrity artist and owning a fleet of luxury sport cars and having a flying rabbit as her pet. Jill is also a debutante
Fame and Celebrity
Jill Von Crastenburg has to be one of the most overated celebrities in the game and as stated before she is set to host a reality TV show America's Sexiest Terrorist, Jill frequant's Algonquin hotspot Bahama Mamas alongside her friend and celebutante Cloe Parker, both Jill and Cloe are famous simply for being rich and beautiful, as Jill is said to rule the Liberty City party cercuit since her 11th birthday and is almost always being hounded by the paparazzi and she regularly makes the tabloids for just about anything, like buying a carton of milk in a Downtown Los Santos supermarket and walking down the street in San Fierro, Jill achived fame back in 2006 for her outlandish spending and her out-of-control behavior she became reconized as a vapid socialite and is frequantly referred to as a celebutante (which basicly mean's someone who's famous for just having alot of money}
Events during the game
Not long after breaking up with Asaltacunas, she was featured on a sex tape (featuring her cheating on her boyfriend, as he paid their tab at a bar, by giving oral sex to a valet) that quickly circulated around the internet. It is very slightly based on Paris Hilton's sex tape, both being filmed in night vision. It first surfaced in www.electrictit.com but was removed from the site.
She was once forced to re-enact a tantrum for the paparazzi who were late and wanted to cover it.
