I just heard that since they have cut out Darvocet, they are also going to quit making Lortab. Anyone heard that?
I have been on lortab since 2005, and it still works for me. I am hopeing that this is just a rumor, but wanted to see if anyone here has heard anything about it.
Thanks, Julie

I didnt see anything on that web site.
I heard this from a nurse, but honestly dont know how she heard it. I just hope that it is not true. I actually dont care what I take, as long as it works. I am very sensitive to everything, and I just hate thought of having to look for something again to ease the pain!
I am still looking for a new doctor. Mine quit her private practice in October, and I havent had much luck in finding someone here in the OKC metro area. I have a few months left on my pain meds, and after that its back to bed and my 3 heating pads. I just hope that doesnt happen. At least with the lortab I have somewhat of a life.
If anyone hears anything, I hope you will post.
Thanks, Julie

They are not going to stop making Lortab. What the FDA has stated (and I don't have the link sorry, but we got an email at work, I'm an NP) is that they are REDUCING the amount of acetaminophen in each tablet to a max of 325 mg rather than 500 mg, as people were taking in too much acetaminophen in a day, causing liver failure, which could lead to death.
FDA has been talking about that for a while. Most narcotics have 325 mg or 500 mg of acetaminophen. I also believe there are some that have 650 mg. The manufacturers will only be allowed to make them with 325 mg/tablet.

See i have never heard of that drug before for more info. on a drug www.webmd.com is a great site to check on info on a med i took narcotics for 4yrs. some pretty heavy one's due to my medical problems but it actually caused more see i have so many contradicting problems with my health problems that it is so hard to find the right solution with taking pain pill i was masking the pain so i was actually over doing myself i take mobic for osteo and RA and found it actually helps with my fibro plus i have eds. so i have to really be careful what i take and for fibro and eds. and all the other problems it has taken yrs. for the dr. to find a right solution that helps with all so maybe talk to your pharmacist and see i consult mine all the time bc one time they had tried me on a med that interacted with another one so always check with your pharmacy b4 bc if you see different dr. for different issues not always do they check for drug interactions!!!!

I wonder how long before they actually do make the changes?
Is there such a medication that is just a narcotic without any aceaminophen.
I am sure they are doing what they think is right, but if I was worried about dying, I wouldnt take the lortab to begin with. Please dont take that wrong, I dont want to die, but since there is no cure for this unbareable pain, what is the point in living longer?
I fought for over 6 months with my doctor about even taking lortab, and I finally gave in. She was right, it worked for me, a lot better than the darvocet did. I have had a much better life by taking the lortab, and now they are going to cut it down. Just doesnt seem right to me.
I would like to know when the government is going to cut out the harmful chemicals in cleaning supplies, air fresheners, and other things we use on a daily basis!
I just dont get it!

I actually take NuCynta for b/t pain. I hadn't heard of it before my pm doc prescribed it for me but it really works well. I take Opana for my ER pain med. I hadn't heard of it either, but in combination with the NuCynta, it really does help most of the time.
Oxycodone doesn't have acetaminophen in it either. I think it would be an easy switch from LorTabs.
Why can't they just make these meds without acetaminophen in them at all? That way, you can decide if you need it or not.

NASHVILLE -- The 2011-12 NHL season has been one of feast or famine for Patric Hornqvist -- and, to an extent, for his Nashville Predators as well.
After struggling through an injury to his right foot, Hornqvist, a 30-goal scorer and Swedish Olympian in 2009-10, failed to register a point through the first eight games of the season (he sat out one of them) as his team went 3-4-1.
Then the hunger seemed to intensify -- at least, that's how one of the Predators' senior statesmen saw it -- and Hornqvist set a club record with goals in six straight games, posting seven overall in that span. Hornqvist's goal-scoring streak was snapped on Nov. 9, but he earned three assists in that game, helping Nashville to a 5-1-1 mark as he totaled 11 points during that seven-game run.
Nashville is among the NHL's hottest teams --the Predators are 7-1-2 in their last 10 after a 4-1 home win against Toronto on Thursday.

After Time Spiral block and the introduction of various planeswalkers as both cards and recurring storyline characters, there began a concerted effort in Magic's Creative department to have an overarching story from block to block, even between different planes. Part of this came in the form of antagonists set out to be recurring villains, though each of the so-called Big Bads of Magic have only appeared in a mainline block once: Nicol Bolas in Shards of Alara, the Eldrazi in Zendikar, and the Phyrexians in Scars of Mirrodin.
Post-Scars, however, we have seen three blocks with either an alternate villain (Xenagos in Theros) or no single proper villain at all (Return to Ravnica and arguably Innistrad - Griselbrand's real villainy happened offstage and long before the block began when he trapped Avacyn alongside himself). So if these characters are recurring villains, when are they going to recur?
Such a question was on Tumblr user bloody-altima's mind when they asked Mark Rosewater on his blog, "So in the past, you've said that the three biggest Big Bads in Magic are Nicol Bolas, last seen directly in Alara block and indirectly in Mirodin and Zendikar, Phyrexia, last seen on Mirrodin, and the Eldrazi, last seen enjoying a delicious Zendikar smoothy. The most recent of these was two (sic; New Phyrexia was released in 2011 - Ed.) years ago. Will we be getting a block where our biggest villains actually do something soon?" Rosewater's response was simply "Patience."
This doesn't indicate a time-frame, of course, but many are interpreting this to mean one of the three main antagonists will reappear in the Fall 2014 large set and the ensuing block. Meanwhile, others see Theros as the start of a villainous career for Xenagos, who, as someone who's still a planeswalker despite also having become divine, presumably could leave the plane after having his godhood taken away by our heroes in Journey into Nyx.

China's five major lakes that support the livelihood of more than 200-million people are in peril. According to experts at the country's first forum on lakes, economic growth and increasing population density are contributing to the damage.
China's lakes are facing a host of problems according to the country's first comprehensive report on its major lakes. Researchers say water quality is deteriorating, wetlands are shrinking and lakes are losing their flood control and drought relief capacity.
More than twenty experts contributed to the report on China's five Great Lakes. It was presented at the first China Forum on Lakes in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province over the weekend. The experts suggest the lakes are in need of urgent protection from damage caused by industrial and urban waste.
One water pollution researcher, who asked to remain anonymous, believes tackling industrial pollutants should be the top priority.
[Water Pollution Researcher]:
"Industrial waste is more notable, it involves heavy metal and organic pollutants like phenol which have a greater impact on humans. I believe the pollutants that need to be addressed are the specific ones that affect the health of organisms."
He says agricultural waste runoff into waterways is another major problem, but may be hard to address.
[Water Pollution Researcher]:
"Once chemical fertilizers and pesticides reach the water they become pollutants. But if fertilizer use is reduced, it will affect productivity, and food output. So it can only be done gradually."
Aside from pollution, the researchers also found that China's lakes are drying up, with 20 lakes disappearing every year. China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake in the southeast was reduced to just one tenth of its normal size this year.

Golden Indian 50th Annivresary Party (25 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
In October, we hosted a party for my husband's parents to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary and his father's 75th Birthday. We hosted friends and family from five states for a fun-packed weekend. The anniversary party, at our house, was the culmination of the weekend, which also included a day at the races (Keeneland horsetrack), two casual dinners and a brunch. My in-laws immigrated to the United States from India over 35 years ago, so we wanted the party to place special importance on their Indian heritage. Also, in addition to adults, 10 children from the ages of 2-13 attended the party, so we wanted to make it as special as possible, but still fun for the kids.
The Decorations: I started by choosing a color scheme of jewel tones -- ruby red, peacock blue, royal purple and midnight blue. My father-in-law's favorite color is purple, so that had to be part of the color scheme. The other colors were chosen to match the two saris used for decorations. One sari was cut into two pieces and used on the dining tables. The second sari, my wedding sari, (which I didn't want to cut!) I wrapped and pinned around the dessert table. My husband's parents and aunt and uncle loved the use of the saris on the table for decoration.
I searched for small gold pedestal bowls for fruit as a centerpiece; however, I was unable to find the right ones. So, I painted four small glass cake stands gold, using glass paint. Also, several vases and candle holders were made from mason jars that I painted with gold puffy paint to look like Indian lanterns. I hung jewel colored circle garlands along the wall of our screened in porch. Often, for Indian celebrations, marigold garlands are used for decorations. The circle garlands were inspired by that traditional element.
The invitations and printables incorporated an elephant and lotus image (the national flower of India). The images were repeated on the paper goods for the party. I also made fabric lotus flowers that were used throughout the party for decorations. The fabric flowers were also pins that I gave to the female party guests at the end of the party. The children were sent home with chocolate elephants I made using a chocolate mold.
For dinner, the children had their own table. They all loved sitting on cushions on the ground at the table. My husband put together the low table using plywood and cinder blocks. My daughter and I decorated the kids' plastic cups using puffy paint. At each place setting, we used a Mandala coloring page as a place mat. Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means "circle" and it is a type of Hindu design, incorporating circles, squares and a center point. It was a fun way to keep the children entertained, but also learn a little about their culture.
I also set up a Heritage Table, including pictures of my in-laws over the last 50 years. Guests were asked to write something they loved about the couple on a card entitled, "50 Great Reasons to Celebrate Ramesh & Vijaya". The reasons ranged from silly ("too old to spank") to heartfelt ("wonderful example of a giving and caring couple"). The picture was framed and was given to my in-laws.
The Food: For dinner, Masala Restaurant catered the following: Samosas, Naan Bread, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, Aloo Gobi, and Goat Curry. Yum! The dessert table also included traditional Indian desserts, made by Masala -- Ras Malai (dumplings made from paneer cheese soaked in sweetened milk flavored with cardamom) and Jalabi (deep fried batter that is soaked in syrup). The cake, made by the Twisted Sifter, was patterned after the invitations. I made the rest of the desserts -- Oreo Truffle Pops, Indian Spiced Rice Krispie Treats, Cranberry Chai Cupcakes and Cocounut Burfi Truffles. A sign was placed on the dessert table stating, "The Sweets Table will Open at 7:00". The kids asked what time it was several times throughout the evening, but they all finished their dinners before indulging in dessert! Some of the Indian inspired drinks were Mango-Orange Punch, Mango Juice and Chai Cola.

Washington D.C. is in for a treat on June 23, 2014 at the Howard Theatre. Lira, a South African afro-jazz singer will be performing. D.C's own Wayna will be sharing the stage with her.
Lira (whose name means 'love') has an impressive presence and her voice is so soothing. Inspired by Miriam Makeba, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone, she began singing at 16. Her freshman album, 'All My Love' (2003), received recognition from the Metro FM Awards, South African Music Awards and Channel O Reel Music Awards. She is only the second African vocalist to grace Italy's Teatro Del Greco stage since Miriam Makeba. Essence Magazine named her one of the "Five Unique Artists to Change Music in 2012". Since 2003 she has released 5 albums that have all been hits on several charts. You can learn more about her on her Facebook page and her official website.
Wayna is no stranger to the D.C. music scene or Howard Theatre. She has shared the stage with Les Nubians, Goapele and Gordon Chambers and will do the same at the PG International Festival with Estelle. Her unique musical style, a mix of Erica Badu and Tracy Chapman, with a little Nina Simone thrown in for good measure has earned her a Grammy nomination (for Best Urban/Alternative Performance Category for her remake, 'Lovin You (Music)', featuring Kokayi) and endeared her to the hearts of her fans. You can learn more about her on Facebook.
To learn more about the performance, visit the Howard Theatre website or call (202) 803-2899.

Using DOS Floppies with Linux
This tutorial covers the use of DOS formatted floppies with Linux. Typically a formatted floppy diskette with a filesystem requires the diskette to be mounted before use. The following commands do not require mounting of the filesystem. It is a prerequisite however that the floppy have a DOS filesystem formatted on the diskette if it is to read from or written to.
Related YoLinux Tutorials:
°Integrate Linux into MS/Windows environment
°Run MS/Windows programs on Linux
Example: /dev/fd0H1440
GUI format tools: DOS or native ext2 file formats.
The pre-defined floppy configurations are specified in floppy disk parameter table in /etc/fdprm. If referring to the floppy as /dev/fd0H1440, the user has already determined the floppy density and can thus reference the device explicitly. When using the Linux device reference /dev/fd0, /dev/fd1, etc, auto-floppy device detection will determine the floppy density. Auto-detecting floppy devices (/dev/fd0, etc) can be configured with the setfdprm command.
Checking a floppy for bad blocks:
/sbin/badblocks /dev/fd0H1440 1440
One can also mount a floppy:
Remember to umount /mnt/floppy when done. (or for fedora Core 3: /media/floppy)
The DOS floppy utilities (mtools) do not mount the floppy in the traditional manner but give DOS like access.
Repair bad blocks so that the blocks can be ignored and floppy can be used.
/sbin/dosfsck -at /dev/fd0H1440

This rack is MUCH better than many others, but is still missing a few options that would make it top of the line. A little too much play when all four bikes are on; arms that rxtend vertically to hold bikes in place also could use a rotating option to help fit the bikes in more easily. Overall great rack with room for improvement.

After signing a two-year, $3.3 million deal last summer, the New York Knicks and forward Metta World Peace have agreed to part ways. Through 29 games, World Peace was averaging a career-low 13.4 minutes per game with New York, leading to career-lows in points and rebounds—4.8 and 2.0 respectively.
Despite this, the Queens native, formerly known as Ron Artest, was thankful for the opportunity to live out his dream of putting on a Knicks jersey.
"It was a childhood dream of mine to play basketball professionally in New York City, and it has truly been a blessing for that dream to have come true," said World Peace. "However, under current circumstances, my agent and I have agreed that being bought out would be the best option for me professionally. I would like everyone to know that whether I was on the court or off, I could not have been happier playing for and cheering on this amazing city, my city.
"Lastly, I would like to thank all of the incredible fans of New York, as well as my teammates, my coach and the Knicks' owner for the wonderful opportunity to play in my hometown."
Beno Udrih's contract was also bought out in addition to World Peace. According to ESPN, both players expressed discontent regarding their lack of playing time.
The second year of World Peace's deal consists of a player option, which he could lose if he decides to join another team. The Los Angeles Clippers, who have been actively reshuffling their roster midseason, is reported to be one of his suitors. World Peace, a key component of the Los Angeles Lakers' 2010 championship, would bring postseason experience and defensive-mindedness to any playoff-bound team.

To defend the faith we must be equipped to demonstrate that the Bible is divine rather than human in origin. If we can successfully accomplish this, we can answer a host of other objections simply by appealing to Scripture. To chart our course I will use the acronym M-A-P-S. Since most Bibles have maps in the back, this should prove to be a memorable association.
M = Manuscripts. Since we don't have the original biblical manuscripts, the question is, "How good are the copies?" The answer is that the Bible has stronger manuscript support than any other work of classical literature-including Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Caesar, and Tacitus. The reliability of Scripture is also confirmed through the eye witness credentials of the authors. Moses, for example, participated in and was an eyewitness to the remarkable events of the Egyptian captivity, the Exodus, the 40 years in the desert, and Israel's final encampment before entering the Promised Land, all of which are accurately chronicled in the Old Testament.
The New Testament has the same kind of eyewitness authenticity. Luke says that he gathered the eyewitness testimony and "carefully investigated everything" (Luke 1:1-3). Peter reminded his readers that the disciples "did not follow cleverly invented stories" but "were eyewitnesses of [Jesus'] majesty" (2 Peter 1:16).
Secular historians--including Josephus (before A.D. 100), the Roman Tacitus (around A.D. 120), the Roman Suetonius ( A.D. 110), and the Roman governor Pliny the Younger ( A.D. 110)--confirm the many events, people, places, and customs chronicled in the New Testament. Early church leaders such as Irenaeus, Tertullian, Julius Africanus, and Clement of Rome—all writing before A.D. 250—also shed light on New Testament historical accuracy. Even skeptical historians agree that the New Testament is a remarkable historical document.
A = Archaeology. Over and over again, comprehensive field work (archaeology) and careful biblical interpretation affirms the reliability of the Bible. It is telling when a secular scholar must revise his biblical criticism in light of solid archaeological evidence.
For years, critics dismissed the book of Daniel, partly because there was no evidence that a king named Belshazzar ruled in Babylon during that period. Later archaeological research, however, confirmed that the reigning monarch, Nabonidus, appointed Belshazzar as his coregent while he was waging war away from Babylon.
One of the most well-known New Testament examples concerns the books of Luke and Acts. A biblical skeptic, Sir William Ramsay, was trained as an archaeologist and then set out to disprove the historical reliability of this portion of the New Testament. But through his painstaking Mediterranean archaeological trips, he became converted as, one after another, the historical allusions of Luke were proved accurate. Truly, with every turn of the archaeologist's spade we continue to see evidence for the trustworthiness of Scripture.
P = Prophecy. The Bible records predictions of events that could not be known or predicted by chance or common sense. Surprisingly, the predictive nature of many Bible passages was once a popular argument (by liberals) against the reliability of the Bible. Critics argued that various passages were written later than the biblical texts indicated, because they recounted events that happened sometimes hundreds of years later than when they supposedly were written. They concluded that, subsequent to the events, literary editors went back and "doctored" the original, nonpredictive texts.
But this is simply wrong. Careful research affirms the predictive accuracy of the Bible. For example, the book of Daniel (written before 530 B.C.) accurately predicts the progression of kingdoms from Babylon through the Medo-Persian Empire, the Greek Empire, and then the Roman Empire, culminating in the persecution and suffering of the Jews under Antiochus IV Epiphanes, his desecration of the temple, his untimely death, and freedom for the Jews under Judas Maccabeus (165 B.C.).

Kudos to Chris Wilson and her Sunset Waterfront Market Committee. Together, they provided the community with fresh produce, wonderful crafty gifts in time for the holidays and the spirit of community.
Many had never seen the new park and were thrilled with the well-designed open spaces and pathways. Both dogs and humans were happy to stroll along the pavers, sample the wares and catch up with old friends.
The prediction is the Jewish people will be re-gathered from the "four corners of the earth" in the end times (Isaiah 11:10). Re-gathering will be the re-establishment of the state of Israel (Isaiah 66:7-8). Another end time miracle will be the revival of the Hebrew language (Zephaniah 3:9).
World Pneumonia Day, Nov. 12, is a day to raise awareness and call on public support for the nearly one million children dying each year from this completely preventable disease. Pneumonia is the leading infectious cause of death in children worldwide, accounting for 15 percent of all deaths of children 5 and younger.
Created in 2000, Gavi is a global vaccine alliance of public and private sectors with the shared goal of creating equal access to new and underused vaccines for children in the world's poorest countries.
Thank you, Beacon, for providing all Brunswick County preliminary election results by the time you went to press. I already knew Sunset Beach incumbent council members lost re-election, but that they lost by a 2 to 1 vote was very interesting.
On Nov. 3, two seats on Sunset Beach Town Council were up for election. Challengers Mark Benton and Rich Cerrato crushed incumbents Mike Williams and Wilson Sherrill by a 2 to 1 margin. They will take office Dec. 7. Just as the polls were closing, Terry Johnson resigned his council seat. The council must now appoint a successor to serve the remaining two years of his term.
On Oct. 31, the Museum of Coastal Carolina welcomed visitors to its Trunk-or-Treat Halloween celebration. Children, many of them in costume, collected goodies from local merchants in the museum's galleries.
The museum would like to thank Wood N Things, Ocean Isle Family Dentistry, OIB Surf & Java and Sloane Realty for sponsoring trunks of goodies. Special thanks to Lowes Foods in Ocean Isle Beach and Shallotte for donating pumpkins for all to enjoy.

Paid content The Hobbit spawns promotions
Walt Disney company has agreed to buy Star Wars maker LucasFilm in a cash and share deal worth $US4.05 billion.
Disney part-financed the deal, which includes all merchandising, by issuing 40 million new shares.
In a regulatory filing, Disney said there would be a new film in the Star Wars series.
"Star Wars Episode 7 is targeted for release in 2015, with more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future," Disney said.
"It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers," said LucasFilm CEO George Lucas in a statement included with Disney's Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
The six Star Wars movies to date have earned a culmulative $US4.4 billion at the box office.
Mr Lucas held 100% of LucasFilm, and will remain a creative consultant under the Disney ownership.
NBR Technology Editor Chris Keall said today that creative control of the franchise should be handed to filmaker Joss Wheden. While the original Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back were classics, Mr Lucas' further work on the franchise was creatively exhausted, over-written, and smothered by excessive CGI.
It was easy to see how painfully cloy Lucas creations like Jar Jar Binks would appeal to Disney, Mr Keall said. Fans could only pray that Disney saw sense.
The over-rated JJ Abrams should be kept well away from the franchise, Mr Keall added.
RAW DATA: Disney's SEC filing (Word Doc)
I wouldn't suggest either Josh or JJ to be honest for Episode 7.
Lucas hadn't really directed much before Episode 4 - apart from THX1138, American Graffiti and a handful of short films.
Ridley Scott had directed a bunch of visually stunning commercials, some British TV series episodes (Z Cars) and The Duellists before Alien, Blade Runner and the visually stunning but weird Legend (Tom Cruise as an elf called Jack - okay that's not sounding that weird)...
So Disney need to take a punt on someone who isn't going to be consumed with the burden (like Favreau for instance) and is prepared to take a risk to make a stamp on it. And not the Wachowski brothers (or brother/sister more recently).... but they're a massive multinational so the chances of Episode 7-9 being sufficiently distinctive are limited - esp with $4 billion tied up in it.

Wow, missed this on my initial (thankfully limit order) and on replacing it, I noticed it, and called Fidelity.They claimed that any 5 character ticker than ends in F is potentially BUT NOT ALWAYS like this.If the company doesn't pay for the "Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation" to be involved in the stock transfer (http://www.dtcc.com/ ???) and it's a foreign stock, that there is some special "hand holding" that goes on, thus the fee. Perhaps this will be something that could change shortly, but that's the situation today.The did say that there wouldn't be a problem with the Dividends other than the amount of Foreign Witholding.
I use Fidelity too...A bit shocked. I think that the $ 50 will eventually be peanuts vs what we can make on this thing. You can buy under PSN.TO which will cost you $ 19. Have you gotten you're shares yet? They haven't populated for me...Frustrating...
I don't currently own the shares. I have an IRA with Fidelity, and I don't think you can buy Canadian listed shares in the IRA. (I know you can in "regular" accounts.)I prefer to buy in small increments, especially a stock without a trading record, so $50 per buy is a problem in my book. I wrote the company about it yesterday, but haven't had a reply yet.
Tried another order today and the $50 fee was no longer indicated.A bit irritating though that the stock has run a bit in the mean time.

Good morning and welcome back to the Sickest Sunday on the net. Before we begin, I would like to congratulate the Planet Ill family on the most robust content week in our history. Between wide ranging Women's History Month coverage, out normal staples, and special coverage we had more feature than in any week in our history. But don't be overwhelmed. I'm about to lay it out and make it really heavy for you. Sick Sundays had been replaced over the last couple weeks by the Planet Ill newsletter> We realize however that everyone is not on the mailing list so we're bringing it back because we got the requests. Your World. Your Way. Let's go. If you would like to receive the newletter, send your email request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Women's History Month:
While other sites were occupied with wack rappers, and industry foolishness, we at the planet rallied around the contributions of women to the music. We've covered women rock legends before this and our coverage always has women in mind but there is something to be said about the power of numbers so gathered here for gravity's sake here you go. Elianne Halbersberg delivered an interview with Terri Winston, whose dedication to teaching women how to engineer is put on full display. We then went through some of the more important albums by women in Hip-Hop history. Funkdafied, All Hail The Queen, Kollage, Born Gangstaz, Black's Magic, and MC Lyte's Eyes On This. We took a look at the importance of Lauryn Hill's Miseducation, and gave you an interview with Mia X. The bow on top was DJ Fusion's Women's History Month edition of Indiesent Exposure featuring a mixtape with 35 femcees of the past the present and the future. Get hip.
Our normal staples delivered as always. A Negro And A Keyboard's latest You Wild took a look at how voter apathy had a profound effect on New Jersey's future. Shelz crushed once again with a movie soundtrack Classic Clash pitting Above The Rim against Murder Was The Case. She continued with the week in freestyle with And The Beat Goes On…featuring Stat Quo, Papoose, and Weezy. G.I.N.A. returned with her weekly editorial focusing on *gasp* accepting your age and dealing with it.
Shelz beat the street with her review of Monica's Still Standing. Malice Intended did the same with his Wu-Massacre review.
We did an assortment of features outside of our regular programming. We interviewed Yo Gotti on TVT, Love, Fame, Lil Wayne, Young Money, And…Retirement? We took a look at the recent Texas Board of Ed curriculum change and what it really means. We bore witness to historic healthcare reform and allowed you to watch Obama claim victory and sign the bill (regardless of where you stand on the bill).
We had a five part interview with General Steele regarding his lastest album Amerikkka's Nightmare Part 2: Children of War. We discussed not only the music, but the overarching themes on display in the work and the motivations behind them. Episode 1. Episode 2. Episode 3. Episode 4. Episode 5.
Before we get to the music Planet Ill would like to take a moment of silence for the late, great Eazy-E. Perhaps because he didn't get shot to death, his passing isn't given the same gravity as other rap deaths but his life and death were perhaps even more important. Death Row is from his tree. So is NWA. The circumstances of his death when placed against the backdrop of the promotion of promiscuity and the champagne popping should be sobering. Of course it isn't. But R.I.P. Eazy.

"The" Nintendo. As a kid, my dream was to own one. We had a score of different gaming systems picked up for a buck or two at garage sales by my well-intentioned parents, but nothing would satisfy. The Wizard made it worse.
Many argue that The Wizard is nothing but a feature-length Nintendo commercial. They state how crass it was for Universal Studios to showcase its theme park in the climax of the film. Perhaps they're right, but it makes the film no less touching as we watch a young boy attempt to help his psychologically damaged little brother.
Jimmy Woods (Luke Edwards) runs away. He does so frequently. His motives are unclear, but we learn two things very quickly: He is obsessed with getting to "California," and he is never without his lunchbox. Jimmy's parents Sam (Beau Bridges) and Christine (Wendy Phillips) are divorced following an incident involving "the river," and neither knows how to help their son and are considering having him institutionalized.
Jimmy's older brother Corey (Fred Savage) decides he must save the little boy by taking him to California. Using what meager funds they might have and a bit of ingenuity, the boys begin a trek across the American southwest. It's during this trip that Corey discovers Jimmy has a knack for video games and they begin to hustle marks at the convenience stores, restaurants and arcades scattered along their path.
They encounter Haley (Jenny Lewis), a street-smart, tough and pretty older girl who sees an opportunity to use the boys in an effort to make a little cash, informing them about a major video game competition being held in Los Angeles. The three work together, utilizing Jenny's winsome charm, her connections with an army of truck drivers, and her deviousness to help ferry this emotionally impaired gaming wunderkind to his promised land.
Meanwhile, Jimmy's mother and step-father have hired a slimy bounty hunter named Putnam (Will Seltzer) to retrieve him, as Jimmy's father and other brother Nick (Christian Slater) hop in a cramped landscaping truck in a race to find the boys first. There are several amusing exchanges between Putnam and the elder Woods as they sabotage each other in their race for the coast. Nick also introduces Sam to video games via the dusty NES he dragged along and the father and son find themselves bonding a little as they find something to distract them from their concerns.
The acting is a little dodgy at points, but there's a lot of sparkle and charm from the performances despite this. Savage brings a sympathy to Corey similar to that of Kevin on The Wonder Years. Jenny Lewis does a fine job walking that line between vulnerability and toughness. I honestly believed Luke Edwards suffered from some sort of condition, eventually having to look up his information just to be sure he didn't.
What this film really represents, and does so a bit recklessly, is one of the last runs of American free-range youth in film. Of the trio, the oldest, even at the time of release, was only thirteen, and yet they ventured over 1,000 miles together across deserts, past seedy towns and through dirty cities. As a kid I found the idea somewhat harrowing yet thrilling; as a parent I find myself conflicted. I'd love for my own kids to be able to make such a journey; it would be an amazing rite of passage. At the same time, with so many great dangers I know that I'd never allow it to happen.
This is actually the biggest problem The Wizard has: the mother sits at home waiting by a phone for the wormy Putnam to bring her son back while Sam is often easily distracted from the search for his sons by Nintendo games and petty squabbling with the bounty hunter. The peril is certainly there for the kids as we see them beat up, threatened and chased, but their parents seem to be only vaguely interested in getting them back based on some of their actions. I'll admit, though, even if it was unintentional, it adds a weird realism to the story; the parents are a confused mess and don't really know how to handle themselves in this situation.
I found myself enjoying it, even re-watching it as an adult. Perhaps a bit of nostalgia clouds my impression of it, but I think The Wizard is another of these fascinating time capsule films that people of my age could show their children and share a piece of the weird and wacky time known as the late eighties and early nineties.

|Gems by Color
Many people purchase gems by type - for example, they want to buy a sapphire, a tourmaline or an amethyst. But one thing we've learned in the colored gem business is that most customers are concerned above all with color, and are less concerned with gem variety, as long as the stone they buy is durable enough for their purpose.
Finding gems by color can often be difficult, since websites tend to organize their inventory around gem varieties rather than colors. So for those who want to know what their options are in particular colors, here is a list of gem types organized by color.
Since there are hundreds of color variations in colored gems, we have organized this list around "base" colors or color families. A red-orange gem would fall in the "orange" category and a blue-green stone would be in the "green" category.Red
Red gemstones are actually quite rare, and mainly occur in ruby, spinel and garnet. There is some very fine red tourmaline (sometimes called rubellite), but it is not often found.

Tall Fashions & Long Legs: Do's and Don'tsPosted by abeautytips | Under Body Types Thursday Jul 7, 2011
Tall Fashions: Do's and Don'ts for Women with Long Legs
Do remember to check for pants that will let out a little in the seam, when shopping.
Many tall ladies forget some designers place extra material within the hem of pants, in case they need to be let out. This might be something you need to look for, if tall fashion is not widely available in your area. By looking at the bottom hem, you can quickly determine if a pair of pants you loved (but were too short) can be taken to a tailor and extended to meet your height needs. Just be sure the inseam still fits properly, if they aren't made specifically for tall ladies. If you think this would be too expensive to do for every pair of pants, buy an inexpensive sewing machine and learn how to let out the hem yourself! For those who want to avoid sewing, cut the strings of the hem with a specific hem-release tool from the craft store and then use iron-in fusing to create your new and longer hem.
DO dare to wear heels.
Some tall ladies feel like they are far too tall to wear heels and always opt for flats, so they won't be the tallest people in the room. However, most short women who kill to be tall with long legs, so embrace your height! Instead of always wearing flats, wear your heels when you want to feel sexy and bold.
DO shop at stores that offer Tall sizes.
Lots of tall women hate to shop because they quickly get frustrated after trying on a multitude of pants and skirts that are too short on them or attempting to find a shirt with a sleeve that fits right. They spend hour after hour, browsing from store to store, looking for something that will fit. However, there's an easy way to save time! Many stores, from Victoria's Secret to New York and Company, are now offering Tall sizes. By choosing to stick with a store you know carries clothing that will work for you, you'll save time and feel better about your shopping experience!
DO show off those long legs with a mini skirt.
If you're under the age of 35, take the experts' advice and dare to wear a mini skirt for a night out on the town. Mini skirts were made with long legged beauties in mind and rarely look great on short ladies. They will make your legs look even longer and slimmer than they already are, which is always a bonus. So, rock your height the way you should and dress to impress in a sexy mini skirt. For total impact, be sure to steer clear of pattern styles and stick with a solid color.
DON'T buy clothing too large for your body
Some tall ladies will choose a dress or pants in a size far too big for their shape, just to get a great length. While it's not typically a great style choice to buy a size too big, as it can make you appear heavier than you are, it can work. Just be sure if your pants are baggy or a little loose, you balance your look with a fitted shirt, blouse, jacket or sweater. Choose a top that will accentuate the smallest part of your waist and creates a flattering balance.
DON'T wear men's clothing.
If you only remember one of these tips, let it be this one! Some tall women tend to gravitate toward clothing in a man's size, because it often comes in various lengths and is easier to find to fit their height. Sure, the posted length sizes can make finding jeans to fit your height much easier, but women who wear men's clothing always end up looking masculine and shapeless, which is never a good thing for a lady.

Previewing the upcoming season earlier this week, Stanford women's water polo head coach John Tanner said that his team was chomping at the bit to play someone besides each other in a game. It showed Saturday as the second-ranked Cardinal scored a combined 32 goals in wins over No. 17 UC Davis and No. 6 Hawai'i on the first day of the Stanford Invitational.
The Cardinal (2-0) opened the tournament with a 16-3 win over UC Davis (1-5) before returning in the afternoon to cruise past Hawai'i (0-4), 16-5, at Avery Aquatic Center. Stanford will finish Bracket A play Sunday at 8 a.m. against No. 5 UC Irvine, with the winner advancing to the tournament title game in the afternoon.
Junior Kiley Neushul led the Cardinal with eight goals over the two games, including five in the opener, with Anna Yelizarova netting five and Ashley Grossman four to pace the scoring side of things. Stanford's defense was on point for much of the day, especially early on, as the Aggies and Rainbow Wahine combined for just three first-half goals.
All three Cardinal goalies were in action Saturday, with sophomore Gabby Stone starting both contests and playing five periods total, making eight saves. Junior Emily Dorst played two full periods and most of a third, making seven saves while freshman Julia Hermann made her debut with a pair of stops over the final minutes of the morning win against UC Davis.
Stanford used its edge in firepower to race out to big leads of 8-1 and 8-0 against UC Davis and Hawai'i, respectively. In the morning contest, the Aggies' Keelia Houston matched Kiley Neushul's opener within three minutes of the start, but from there the Cardinal went into another gear. Grossman scored nine seconds after Houston's goal to put Stanford back in front, then Yelizarova and Neushul netted goals before freshman Sophia Monaghan scored her first collegiate goal to make it 5-1 at the end of the opening frame.
Steffens fired home a penalty shot 16 seconds into the second period before Neushul netted her third and Yelizarova her second minutes later to complete the seven-goal run. Hannah Curran interrupted the Cardinal run for the Aggies, but Yelizarova finished her hat trick, and Neushul scored her fourth to make it 10-2 at the break.
The junior driver would get her fifth on the power play for the first goal of the second half, starting a 4-0 run in the third period that iced the game. Cory Dodson and Melena Masson would add goals later, and Rachel Johnson would tack on the final two.
Stone made a pair of saves in the first half before giving way to Dorst to start the second half. Dorst stopped five shots during her action, then ceded the final three minutes to Hermann.
Annika Dries opened up the Cardinal's afternoon run against Hawai'i with a pair of goals within the opening 1:52. Neushul would continue with the hot hand from there, scoring all three of her goals before the end of the frame as Stanford took control leading 5-0.
Grossman, Lexie Ross and Yelizarova got it to 8-0 in the second before Danielle Lewis got the Rainbow Wahine on the board 4:01 before the break. Steffens and Yelizarova would score before the horn to make it 10-1 Cardinal at the break.
Freshmen Dani Jackovich and Jamie Neushul would net the first goals of their Stanford careers in the second half, with Jackovich getting a pair as the Cardinal rolled to the win. Lewis would tack on two more for Hawai'i to notch her hat trick.

Park Tudor HS graduate Yogi Ferrell told us earlier this week he was worried about being too fired up for his first ever NCAA Tourney game!
The freshman did just fine!
He scored the first points of the game and finished with a team-high 16.
IU shot 57 percent in the first half and led by 21 at the break. James Madison never had a chance, Indiana had five guys in double figures.
This game was a snoozer as IU won 83-62. IU will practice Saturday here in Dayton and the face Temple Sunday! I wasn't impressed by Temple and we expect IU to roll onto the Sweet 16 next week in Washington DC!

I got home from Seattle today with a mailbox full of fall catalogs. Yikes. Then I was talking to a friend and she mentioned how wild it is that tomorrow's September. I can name something equally wild: the fact that I haven't updated this blog in two weeks. The truth is that I've been a very busy gal; I'm working on a project that I'm not quite ready to mention because I don't want to jinx it. But hopefully soon I'll be able to spill the beans and we can have a little chat. In the meantime, let's talk about this past weekend.
I went to the International Food Bloggers Conference (IFBC) in Seattle and there were definite moments of awesomeness. I met some fabulous new friends like her, her, her and her. I got a chance to hear photographer Penny de los Santos speak again and sat in on an inspiring talk by Saveur editor, James Oseland. But so many folks have already written about the conference, so I thought I'd tell you what else I was up to. I had some Moonshine cherries. Dear god, have you tried these? My Southern readers–are these in your daily routine? Because I'm going to try and figure out a way to make them a part of mine. Kristina brought them from Tennessee. I knew I'd like her right away.
I also learned a lot about pie. Peach pie, to be exact, made with Frog Hollow Peaches. The lovely Kate McDermott taught a little demo class and I've finally learned how to achieve pie-crust greatness.
I stayed with my sister all weekend. And I met her dog Sherman for the first time. I fell in love.
We hit up the dog park and did some serious snuggling. There were also great meals (without Sherman, of course). I finally got a chance to check out Nettletown, the sweet little spot my Seattle friends had told me so much about. It's one of those places that's incredibly hard to describe. It has both Chinese and Swiss influences–a reflection of owner Christina Choi's background. There are great sandwiches, noodle dishes, interesting snacks and desserts (like that peanut butter, chocolate, ginger haystack below). And the space just feels really good. There's a slower pace and a careful deliberation to the food. Put it on your list next time you're up in Seattle.
There were also wonderful meals with new friends at Delancey (yes, we did in fact order one of every pizza on the menu) and Staple and Fancy, Ethan Stowell's new Ballard spot.
There were glasses of wine, cocktails, laughs until my cheeks hurt, lots of trips over the West Seattle bridge, and homemade Kettle Korn (thanks, Matt!).
And now I'm home–with a big to-do list, staring September straight on in the face. I've got new friends to contact, a house to clean before my mom comes home next week (eek!), and a project to keep slaving away on. But first, I'll unpack. Got to start somewhere.

The objects of popular culture in the National Collection display everything from ashtrays to wristwatches reflect the public adulation for Lindbergh and the powerful commercial response to his celebrity. More than 75 years after the Spirit's historic flight, Lindbergh's name still has the power help sell manufactured goods.

[more photos here.]
by Catherine King
The Last Time tableau (installed in the storefront window of the Artery at 623 East Indian School Road) was created by King and du Bois for The Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence to spotlight Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It provides a voyeurs view of the wreckage of a relationship in a Ground Zero of a living room.
From the street, the viewer can see a small, dim room through two large eye-level apertures. The room is a black and white explosion of polarized insanity. It looks like Anger and Chaos have broken every surface of some Giants home into jagged shards of opposition.
Its a psychedelic scene, but one of overwhelming irrationality, instead of dazzling clarity. A jumble of garish black and white fabrics have cut each other down and are now competing for every square inch. The furnishings in this home threaten, rather than comfort -- a hanging crazy quilt pieced together from sci-fi sex workers and cartoon misogyny, a calendar crowned with a two-headed snake of a pinup girl, a table quaintly embellished with stenciled skeletons. On the table sits a framed family photo which is illuminated by the warm glow of a lamps inferno.
For this living room is pure hell. The family photo is a snapshot of the demonic Columbine Idiots, stalking out the final moments of their earthly hunt. Our voyeur understands intuitively that Mr. Giant is the interior decorator here and that Kleibold and Harris are related from his side of the family, not Mr. Giants domestic partners. This is a masculine style Giants Castle, no doubt about it.
Mr. Giant sprawls over half of the room, dwarfing his Lazy Boy and the table topped with the portraits from his Demon Idiot family tree. Here the voyeur witnesses his presentation as Bellowing Giant.
Bellowing rules his corner of hell, or thinks he does, from his tiny psychotic- looking throne. His sceptre and orb are a baseball bat and a TV remote. Permanently green with rage, he stares blankly ahead, seeing nothing really, and rolls out a predictable loop of demands, remonstrations and threats, all of this directed at his domestic partner.
The incredible volume of Bellowing Giant is formidable, but the voyeur can see that there is a wearing weakness inside. The guy can hardly hold his head up. His mighty limbs sag. His blindness, his unresponsive insistence, his limpness give him away -- Mr. Giant is not a Real Man. Lacking all integrity, hes unable to stand up.
The Last Time uses symbolic doubling to emphasize importance and to show change through time. And so our voyeur also sees before them another aspect of Mr. Giant, from a later time -- The Last Time.
This twin aspect is Begging Giant. Virtually identical to Bellowing, now he cowers on the floor, approximately turned toward his domestic partner, though he appears not to really see her. He is on his knees with his hands raised in supplication, still grasping the ever present extensions of the bat and remote.He could be making a contrite gesture but he might also be coiled and ready to strike. The voyeur can see that his raging expression is exactly the same as before. It is clear that Begging Giant is not sorry or sincere about anything.
As plain as it is, Disappearing Woman, standing there before her domestic partner, has just realized it for the first time. A moment of truth has been captured in this living room. In the midst of clamoring chaos, Disappearing Woman has managed to find unequivocal clarity. Something inside of her suddenly sees everything differently. Shes finally done with the lying and trying.
She no longer needs to see his pathetic posturing or hear his lying promises -- so she is turning her back to him now. The voyeur can see that shes bruised purple from head to foot. Her lumpy legs are a mass of old scars and fresh injuries. With her bumpy reality, Disappearing Woman could never meet her domestic partners idea of perfection -- as measured by the Two-Headed Pinup Sci-Fi Sex Workers with which Mr. Giant has chosen to decorate his castle. So he has made her pay for it with her hide.
Disappearing Woman has taken a lot of blows -- the Giant made his mark many times. Her left arm hangs broken in a sling. Her right arm is raised as she has just finished circling a red-letter day on the giant calendar which hangs in front of her -- Friday, October 3, 2003 -- The Last Time.
September, August, July, June . . . month on top of month, other calendar pages are spread out over the wall. The voyeur sees the whole story in notes on top of days -- day after day, all year long, reminders of relationship counseling appointments, self-defense classes and bills for X-rays that must be paid. Many of the squares are also overlaid with inspirational messages that the formerly codependent Disappearing Woman wrote to herself -- Be more romantic, followed by Try harder to ACT more romantic.
A mirror on either side of her face allows the voyeur to see her expression as she finishes writing this final note to herself. Frigidity has never been so lovely. Huge closed eyelids are emphasized with long gold eyelashes. The delicate purple face is bandaged here and there, but still, the way she is holding her chin up now looks like Sheer Beauty. She is proud of herself for doing right by herself for once, and it shows.
Disappearing Woman no longer hears all the Bellowing and Begging. This Last Time was the straw that broke the camels back. The voyeur can see from the increasingly desperate notes on the calendar that things have been getting worse around this home. The violence has been escalating. The infernal lamp and that cursed family photo lay shattered on the floor. It must have been a hell of a display, Mr. Giants Last Time. But Disappearing Woman didnt fall for it for the first time. And now shell never be intimidated by his tantrums again.
Disappearing Woman is leaving, is gone. Shes trailing right through the sky blue doorway of her former hellish home into the Unknown. Whatevers waiting for her out there, it could only be an improvement.Posted by Jerome at October 19, 2003 07:20 AM | TrackBack

Sunny Mabrey
Gadsden, Alabama
"Being in front of the camera was like coming home. The first time I saw myself on the big screen… I just started screaming."
– Sunny Mabrey
Sunny Mabrey is a small-town Southern hottie who has made good. A former model, a current actress and a full-time babe, she has enough Southern hospitality and flat-out beauty to keep us from kicking her out of our bed. At present, she's probably most recognizable for her roles in the cult favorite Snakes on a Plane and the sci-fi skin odyssey .
A self-described "Hollywood hick," Sunny Mabrey might be out of Alabama now, but it's impossible to take Alabama out of her. Despite regularly hearing media questions about outhouses and inbred relationships, she maintains a sense of humor and fond memories about her roots. She enjoys driving pick-up trucks and also sings in her own rock 'n' metal band. In the romance department, Sunny Mabrey prefers her men off-the-cuff instead of pretty. Once engaged to fellow Alabama-bred actor Clayne Crawford, she ended up marrying actor Ethan Embry.
Sunny Mabrey now subscribes to the theory that less is more when it comes to movies. Her recent film efforts, like Not Since You and Repo, have been smaller, independent-minded movies, but she still remains on the mainstream radar thanks to guest spots on TV shows like House M.D., CSI: Miami, Desperate Housewives, and Rules of Engagement.
Sunny Mabrey BiographyNamed after her uncle, Sunny Mabrey spent her childhood in the very small town of Gadsden, Alabama. Cynics might say that in Gadsden, there's a better chance of marrying a relative than making it in Hollywood, but Sunny Mabrey went against town tradition (just kidding) and began a modeling career at age 18. One of her notable early assignments was a noteworthy khaki campaign for Gap, which allowed her to spend time breathing outside of her home state.
When she returned to Alabama for university, Sunny Mabrey wound up exploring acting through theater productions like Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, but it was more modeling and music videos that ultimately got her noticed by Hollywood. In 1999, she posed naked behind Ricky Martin for a provocative Rolling Stone cover, and followed it up by chasing Fred Durst down the street -- when it was socially acceptable -- in Limp Bizkit's music video for Nookie. She was also the subject of much adoration in Lonestar's mega-hit "Amazed" -- a video that featured her doing most of her acting from a bathtub.
sunny mabrey stars in species III and xxx: state of the unionWith the confidence that she could survive Fred Durst and act competently in the bath, Sunny Mabrey entered the acting realm with a 2002 guest spot on the WB favorite Angel. That same year, she made her feature film debut in the comedy The New Guy, in which she played a popular girl enamored with a suddenly cool dweeb. On the heels of another guest spot -- this time on CSI: Miami -- Sunny Mabrey got her first lead role as the alien-human hybrid of Natasha Henstridge in the straight-to-video sequel Species III. While she didn't benefit from the same career launch that her hot on-screen mom had enjoyed from the first film, Sunny Mabrey still made guys salivate and debate whether sex with an alien might somehow be worth pursuing.
With 2005 came what should have been a blockbuster hit for Sunny Mabrey. Cast as tough chick Charlie Mayweather in xXx: State of the Union, she was unfortunately cursed with Ice Cube as a costar rather than the original lead Vin Diesel. Described by film critic Brian Orndorf as the equivalent to "going headfirst at top speed into a brick wall," the film was box-office poison. In spite of this setback, Sunny Mabrey rebounded with her next effort, One Last Thing, where she was a troubled model providing comfort for a dying teen. She singled out the film as a positive experience for its layered characters and smaller-scale production.
sunny mabrey stars in snakes on a plane and appears on desperate housewivesIn 2006, Sunny Mabrey became associated with the internet phenomenon of the year -- the modern-day Samuel L. Jackson cult film favorite, Snakes on a Plane. Drawn to the film because the story delivered exactly what its title promised, she was cast as heroic flight attendant Tiffany. Forced to share the screen with a Burmese Python that measured over 20 feet in size, she wisely kept her pet miniature pinscher secured in her trailer to avoid making it snake bait.
Sunny Mabrey's recent output has been an even split between television guest spots and independent film roles. Since 2007, she has appeared on one episode each of Without a Trace and Monk, along with an appearance as Richard Burgi's pregnant wife on ABC's -- female-driven prime-time phenom, Desperate Housewives. In 2009, Sunny Mabrey added to her television credits with a spot on Rules of Engagement, following it up with independent movie roles in the post-9/11 drama Not Since You, opposite the equally beautiful Liane Balaban, and the quirky comedy Repo, featuring Jason Mewes of the Kevin Smith universe.

251.5 sec. 1 - Corporate Finance and Law (Spring 2014)
Instructor: Robert Bartlett (view instructor's teaching evaluations | profile)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 4
Meeting Time: MW 3:35-5:25
Meeting Location: 110
Course Start: January 06, 2014
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49739
This is a four unit course, and is offered on a mandatory C/NC basis. It explores the financial and legal aspects of a fundamental question for business organizations: how does a firm raise money to finance its operations? In examining this question, the course takes both a theoretical and a practical perspective. As a matter of financial theory, how can a firm use its financial resources as well as various sources of outside financing to enhance its value to investors? Even a cursory look at the Wall Street Journal reveals that firms differ widely in how they choose to finance their operations and utilize their financial resources. Do these differing financial judgments have any systematic effect on the value of a firm? To answer this question, the class will survey modern financial economics and explore the techniques commonly used for understanding, assessing, and computing a firm's value. In addition, the course also examines the practical aspects of executing a particular financing decision. Once a financing strategy has been selected, it is generally left to the deal lawyers to implement it through financial contracts. This component of the course can therefore be thought of as a study in financial contracting strategies, with each strategy being shaped in large part by the type of financing technique used. Topics to be covered include financing through common stock, debt, convertible/hybrid securities, and venture capital finance.

Jennifer Lawrence Jokes About Mom Embarrassing Her: 'She's Like Dina Lohan!'
Jennifer Lawrence is as candid as they come in Hollywood.
In the October issue of W magazine, the actress talks about her experiences at the Oscars, saying she felt like a "loser" at the awards parties, and that her mom embarrassed her on the red carpet.
Lawrence recalls, "My mom talked about Hunger Games on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, which was something I had told her a million times not to do," joking, "She's like Dina Lohan! — but she has good taste."
The 22-year-old Oscar nominee also opened up about the strangeness of such sudden fame which she experienced due to the hugely popular Hunger Games franchise, saying the awards season is "kind of bizarre thing."
She explains, "All of a sudden you're at these parties and everybody's famous, and you feel like a loser. By the time of the actual Oscars, I was so sick of fittings and trains and corsets and people asking 'What are you going to wear?'"
"I had to go on a diet, because at all the parties there's champagne and hors d'oeuvres. I ate so much!" admits Lawrence, revealing, "I think I wore two Spanx on the night of the awards."
The October issue of W hits newsstands mid-month.
Do you find Lawrence's candidness refreshing in Hollywood?

The Wounded Veterans Recreation Act has just been introduced in the Senate. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) introduced the measure as S. 2298. It first became available online on the the congressional website on Wednesday, May 14. The bill would make it easier for wounded veterans to qualify for free passes to federal recreational lands and waters.
The bill would amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to offer the National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands Pass for free to any veteran with a service-connected disability. Current law allows it to go to any American citizen or permanent resident of the United States with a permanent disability. This bill would expand it for veterans in that the disability may not be deemed permanent or as severe. Such passes would last a lifetime, even if the veteran recovers.
Current law, enacted in 2004, requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to certify that any veteran be diagnosed with a 100 percent permanent disability to qualify for the free pass. Shaheen stated that she thinks that all veterans who paid that type of sacrifice should be entitled to the pass permanently. Current law also allows active members of the military and their families to get annual passes.
The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) signed on as the only original cosponsor.
A companion bill has been pending in the House of Representatives since last January 29. It has been endorsed by 25 sponsors. The House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands & Environmental Regulation conducted a hearing on it on April 4 but has not voted on it.
The House bill had also been referred to the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy & Forestry on Feb. 12. That subcommittee has not taken any action on it yet.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The second ranked Alabama softball team fell behind early and could not complete the comeback, as it fell, 3-2, to No. 21 LSU in front of a Rhoads Stadium record crowd of 3,521. With the loss, the Crimson Tide drops to 36-2 overall and 13-2 in Southeastern Conference play. The Tigers improve to 29-9 on the year and 11-2 in league play.
LSU outhit Alabama, 5-4. Senior Jennifer Fenton collected two of the Tide hits that included a home run. Fenton had her NCAA record of consecutive stolen bases come to an end as she was thrown out in the first inning. It was the first time she had been thrown out since March 13, 2010.
The Tide could not complete the comeback against LSU pitcher Rachele Fico, stranding runners in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings. Fico improved to 14-4 on the year. Freshman Leslie Jury was tagged with the loss, falling to 10-2. Jury allowed three runs on three hits and struck out four batters in 3 1/3 innings of work.
Amanda Locke allowed one hit and struck out three in 2 2/3 innings of relief while Jackie Traina allowed a hit and struck out one in the final inning.
After Alabama allowed an opponent to score for the first time in 13 games in the first inning, the Tide responded with a home run of its own. Locke answered the Ashley Langoni two-run homer with a solo shot that hit the scoreboard to pull UA within one. The home run was her ninth of the season.
LSU added another run in the third but once again Alabama had an answer. Fenton hit a two out solo home run over the wall in center to pull the Tide within one. The home run was her fourth on the season.
The series will wrap up on Sunday with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. Dave Baker and Cheri Kempf will call the action on Fox Sports South.

Relay for Life coming up, Carpe Diem Wine Bar, Bottega Ristorante expanding
Happy Friday everyone. Here are a few noteworthy stories from the Napa Valley to take you on into the weekend.
Carpe Diem Wine Bar opens in downtown Napa
Last weekend we were out for a walk in downtown Napa and noted a new (to us anyway) wine bar located in the space previously occupied by the Gondola Restaurant on Second Street (just across from the courthouse). Turns out the new wine bar, Carpe Diem, has been open for about a month. Check out the Napa Register story here.
Relay for Life July 24 – 25 at Napa Valley College
It's mid-July, which means the annual Relay for Life event is coming up here in the Napa Valley. The event, which is put on by the American Cancer Society, benefits cancer research and is something we've attended for several years running now. Check out our recap from 2008 for more and come on out and join us in a couple weeks!
Michael Chiarello's Bottega Ristorante expanding
A couple weeks ago as we strolled around Yountville (our little guy loves to explore the area over-and-over again) we noted that Michael Chiarello's Bottega Ristorante appeared to be undergoing some changes. Inside V Marketplace construction was underway and posted signs indicated that Bottega was "expanding." We've reached out to a representative and will update you on the plans as we learn more.
