Afridi leads Pakistan to Twenty20 glory
Shahid Afridi charged Pakistan to ICC World Twenty20 glory as previously-unbeaten Sri Lanka were defeated by eight wickets in the final at Lord's.
All-rounder Afridi hit an unbeaten 54 as he orchestrated a perfect Pakistan chase of their 139-run target.
Victory was sealed with eight balls to spare when Afridi scrambled a leg-bye. Within seconds the entire squad and backroom staff knelt and kissed the hallowed turf in communal celebration.
These teams were drawn together by the horrific terrorist attack in Lahore this year, which left Sri Lanka's players traumatised and wounded and Pakistan without home international fixtures for the foreseeable future.
In the build-up to this all-Asia showpiece, Pakistan captain Younis Khan had voiced his desire to win the tournament as a reminder to the international cricketing community of his side's existence and for his fellow countrymen, who are suffering because of the effects of terrorism in the north-west of his homeland.
Sri Lanka triumphed in the previous meeting between the sides in the tournament, also at Lord's, but just as in the Super Eights contest, Pakistan were unperturbed by Sri Lanka's spinners.
Ajantha Mendis and Muttiah Muralitharan were taken for 54 runs in their combined seven overs for the price of opener Shahzaib Hasan.
Crucially, it was Afridi's calculated attack on Murali, on his return to the attack for the 14th over, which proved pivotal.
Afridi sized up the first delivery of Murali's return and planted the ball into the Tavern Stand at deep midwicket.
The next one was flashed hard through extra-cover for four and by the end of the over Pakistan's asking rate was down to seven runs per over with just two wickets down. Nerves were settled.
Former captain Shoaib Malik scampered between the wickets to maintain a manageable rate and the result was effectively rubber-stamped when Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara gambled for the 18th over.
With 26 required by Pakistan, he opted to throw the ball to left-arm seamer Isuru Udana, and left Murali and Lasith Malinga in reserve.
Only seven runs had come from the first four but Afridi seized his chance to free the arms at the penultimate delivery, and launched another monstrous hit into the crowd at deep midwicket.
When he flicked the next one - called a no-ball for being over waist height - past short fine-leg for another boundary, the celebrations among a Pakistani-dominated crowd began.
The early impetus of the pursuit was provided by Kamran Akmal, who cracked two sixes and two fours in 37 from 38 balls.
It took the introduction of veteran left-arm spinner Sanath Jayasuriya to quell the charge as he followed the batsman with his first delivery and earned a comfortable stumping.
Sri Lanka's 138 for six represented something of a fightback after Pakistan's strong
response to being asked to field.
Of the top order, only captain Sangakkara, who struck an unbeaten 64, negotiated Pakistan's bowling attack with any conviction and the loss of four wickets in the powerplay limited their aspirations.
It was only thanks to Sangakkara's seventh-wicket partner Angelo Mathews, who once again highlighted his impact as a late-innings hitter with an impressive 35 not out, that they managed a challenging score.
It was veteran Abdul Razzaq who did the early damage for Pakistan inside the opening few overs.
Razzaq, in as a replacement for the injured Yasir Arafat, claimed three wickets with the new ball.
Teenage fast bowler Mohammad Aamir began the tumble when he claimed the prize wicket of tournament top scorer Tillakeratne Dilshan with a successful short ball in the opening over.
Sangakkara plumped for the same tactics which have been integral to their success by opting to bat first.
Unbeaten Sri Lanka defended totals superbly in the tournament, including a previous meeting with Pakistan, when they won by 19 runs at the same ground.
This time, however, a stand of 68 merely kept the contest in the balance.
Mathews rode his luck as he plundered all but one of the 17 runs off teenager Aamir's final over - a two and an edged four from the first two deliveries followed by a nonchalant loft off his pads for a towering six over deep square-leg from the third.

Wuthering Heights
by Emily Brontë
Windows, Doors, Thresholds, and Other Boundaries
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
None Shall Pass
Seriously: if we saw any architecture as grim as the kind found in this book, we'd be running the other way. These mansions sound more imposing than nuclear waste storage facilities.
From the very first pages of Wuthering Heights, Lockwood is anxious to cross the threshold and enter the house, while Heathcliff seems intent on keeping him out. "Even the gate over which [Heathcliff] leant manifested no sympathizing movement […]" (1.6).
Lockwood personifies the gate, implying that, like Heathcliff, it does not want to let him in. Even Lockwood's name reflects his failure to gain access—you don't just give someone a name like Lockwood without it being pretty significant. (But since he is not one to pick up on hints, he charges in anyway.)
In his first descriptions of the house, Lockwood observes its super-unwelcoming architecture:
Happily, the architect had foresight to build it strong: the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, the corners defended with large, jutting stones. (1.12)
Constructed in 1500, this home is clearly designed to be impenetrable. The window in the oak-paneled bed is a critical boundary in the novel, symbolizing a space of violation and violence. Even though Catherine's name is scratched on its surface, the window doesn't provide entry for her wailing ghost—thanks in large part to Lockwood's lack of sympathy. The bloodshed from Catherine's wrist "rubbed [...] to and fro" on the pane suggests that there is some serious violence involved in crossing thresholds.
Later in the novel, the young Cathy escapes Heathcliff from the same window:
She dare not try the doors, lest the dogs should raise an alarm; she visited the empty chambers, and examined their windows; and luckily, lighting on her mother's, she got easily out of its lattice, and onto the ground by means of the fir tree, close by. (28.66)
Remember that same fir-bough scratching on the window as Lockwood emerged from his nightmare?
Prison Break
There are numerous incidents in which the two houses are referred to as prisons and their inhabitants as prisoners. When domestic harmony finally returns to Wuthering Heights at the novel's end, Lockwood finds that the whole prison vibe is gone:
"I had neither to climb the gate, nor to knock it yielded to my hand [...]. Both doors and lattices were open [...] what inmates there were had stationed themselves not far from one of the windows. I could see them and hear them talk before I entered, and looked and listened in consequence, being moved thereto by a mingled sense of curiosity and envy that grew as I lingered. (32.26)
Obviously, Lockwood is still a major snoop; the problems caused by his past boundary violations don't hinder him from imposing himself yet again.
Windows Were Made to Be Broken?
Throughout the novel, characters gaze and spy through windows, open windows, and break them. Not surprisingly, the large drawing room window of Thrushcross Grange appears ample and cheery compared to windows at Wuthering Heights. Rather than being "narrow" and "deeply set," it provides accessible views out onto the garden and green valley and, conversely, into the home's interior.
When Catherine and Heathcliff venture out to spy on Edgar and Isabella, the drawing room window provides a view onto a different world—one that eventually welcomes Catherine but rejects Heathcliff. Thrown out of Thrushcross Grange (as he will be many more times), Heathcliff is left to make his observations through the glass partition:
"I resumed my station as a spy, because, if Catherine had wished to return, I intended shattering their great glass panes to a million fragments unless they let her out." (6.39)
The many symbolic meanings of windows extend even to Heathcliff's appearance, as Nelly describes his eyes as "a couple of black fiends, so deeply buried, who never open their windows boldly" (7.42). Again, windows prevent rather than provide access.

Learn civics through online games
Middle school students now have a more entertaining way to learn about the Constitution and the courts. A new web-based game called "Supreme Decision" is available on www.ourcourts.org.
Players assume the role of a law clerk to a U.S. Supreme Court justice. They have to help write the decision in a First Amendment case regarding the wearing of music T-shirts at school. The question is whether a school can ban them or are they protected as student free speech.
Our Courts is backed by former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor who said that more people can name an American Idol judge than the three branches of government. "To keep our democracy healthy and vibrant requires sustained participation by an active and informed citizenry."
A second video game is coming. "Do I have a Right?" will ask students to decide which Amendment will best help a client resolve a problem.

I need help in trying to understanding my credit scores and what I can do about them. They went from the mid-high 700s last summer to below 600 this year!!
I have never made any late payments, and I have been slowly paying down my mountain of debt (mortgage, student loan, credit cards, 2 car payments). I have nothing in collections, nor have I ever. I just pulled all 3 of my credit reports and found not a single negative mark!!
My problem is that as I have been paying down my credit cards rapidly, and as a reward, I have been having my credit limits generously slashed to within $100 of my current balance. Having $6000 limits decreased to $200 and $2500 limits slashed to $500 has really taken it's toll. But worse is the $10000 limits slashed to $7000. I still have quite a bit of debt, but I have been managing it paying more than my minimum payments and trying to work towards becoming debt free. Every time I get a letter in the mail saying my limits are being cut, I want to just throw in the towel and declare bankrupcy. Seriously! Why shouldn't I want to screw over the banks the way they seem to be doing to me? Once I calm down I always remember that I am responsible for my debt and that I have to pay it myself, but the falling credit score seems so unfair! How can so much of my credit worthiness be tied into that one ratio of debt to available credit?!? Only the Experian report even acknowledges that my credit limits were in fact at one time much higher.
Since I am working towards becoming debt-free, I might not care so much about my score, but it has caused my interest rates to fly through the roof (one is seriously at 34%, and it is a bank card, not a store card). That, and I am currently trying to get a mortgage that is currently in my grandparents name (that I have been paying for the past 18-months) into my name. The propery has immense sentimental value to me and I can't bear the thought of it being sold to someone outside of the family. Since I am able to make the payments, I thought it would be easy to go to the bank that the current mortgage is held at and have it transferred to my name, and that was when I got the wake up call about my credit score. My first thought was that my identity must have been stolen!! Nope, turns out that my debt to credit ratio climbed from less than 30% to over 80%!! Even though I have decreased my total debt tremendously in the past 2 years, my situation on paper (credit score) looks worse that ever!
Is there ANYTHING I can do to boost my score without eliminating the debt entirely? I talked to a few banks about manual underwriting for the mortgage loan, but because my income is sporadic because I work freelance (and it didn't help that I took off a year to spend with my now 18-month-old son), I have been told that my score is taken into consideration and weighed heavily. It is going to take me 22 more months to eliminate my car loans and credit card debt, but I need to refinance this property into my name before summer or it is going to be sold (at WAY under what used to be market value). And not only will that hurt financially, but it will hurt emotionally.
I have heard about services that will get things like cable, utility and cell phone accounts added to your report, but would that really help? I have tried calling my credit card issuers and begging for my limits to be increased back to where they were, but that hasn't gotten me anywhere. I have even considered opening a secured card to increase my overall available credit, but I don't know that another card when I already have 13 is going to make me look like a better risk! I have considered asking my mother to add me to one of her cards with a huge limit and tiny balance. I have also thought about asking to be un-authorized as a user on my husband's accounts. But I really don't know how much, if any, impact any of this will make. I am almost desperate enough to tap my emergency fund to pay off a couple of cards, but I am convinced that they will just chop my limits even more AND leave me without savings if something unexpected occurs. Please help me to make good decisions before I dig a deeper hole for myself!!
I really took the availability of credit for granted. But I also think that someone needs to look into re-doing the credit scoring system. Why am I, as someone who always pays her bills as agreed, a worse credit risk than someone with several charge offs and frequent late payments based on score?
Grrrrrrr. Any advice would be welcome.

Skill Level Intermediate
A power user presses the Tab key on their keyboard to move through their fields, instead of clicking with their mouse every single time. By default, Access sets the order of the fields according to the order they were in the underlying table. But as you create your own forms, you'll move everything around, and the tabs need to follow. Let's see this in action. I'll close this sample form. We're going to make a fast form and rearrange it. Click on the Customers table one time, go to the Create Ribbon, and choose Form, switchover to the Design View. Now I'm not going to go into detail on how I rearrange this form.
To learn how to manage forms, please see your Access 2010 Essential Training. I am going to go ahead and draw a marquee to delete these fields right here. I'll highlight them and click Delete. I am going to scroll down, and click on WorkPhone, and Shift+Click on the label, Shift+Click on Fax Number and on Fax, and I'll move these fields up here to the phone numbers. I'll do the same thing with Notes. I'll click on Notes, Shift+Click on its label, Shift+Click on Documentation, and flag, and then move these six fields up under the Fax.
Then I'll delete my Type and its label as well. Now when I go back to the Form View and I Tab through, it's tabbing across. But I still want it to tab down. So I'm going to go back to my Design View again, and I'm going to go over here to the Tab Order button on the right-hand side. There is three sections; controls in the Header, the Detail area that contains all of our fields, and the Footer. We're going to stick to the Detail area. I want my form to go down. So after CustomerID would be Company. So I'll click once in the box next to Company, and drag it up above WorkPhone.
I'm going to pickup Address, and drag it up under Company. Now I want you to note something. As you're clicking on these, you can't click and drag in one motion. What that does is select multiple controls at one time. So I do have to click in the box, let go off my mouse, and then drag the field up. So now I have CustID, Company, Address1, Address2, then City, State, Zip, and Country. That leaves me with WorkPhone, Fax, Notes, Documentation, Flag, and a Child field.
Also note that there is an Auto Order button, and this button hypothetically will reorder the tabs in the order of your fields. But sometimes I find it more problematic than helpful. So I'll click OK. Now when I go back to my Form View, and I tab through, it goes down the columns. Now there is one more thing you can do with tab stops. You can skip fields altogether. For example, for Country, almost all of my customers are in the United States, so I could skip right over it as I Tab. Same with Documentation and Flag.
I'll still be able to click in the boxes to enter data into them. But as I'm tabbing through, it will save me several tabs if I skip right over those fields. So let me go back to the Design View. Open up your Property Sheet, if it's not already open. Click on the Country field. Now notice this Tab Index. This 7 is telling me that it's tab number 7 down the list. But we're going to skip it. So I'm going to change Tab Stop to No. I'm going to do the same thing for the Documentation field. Change Stop number 11 to No, and Flag as well.
Now when I change to Form View, it's going to go from Zip straight over to WorkPhone, and from Notes, straight down to my Orders field. When you're working with form data, efficient workflow is essential. Setting Tab Stops allows you to create a natural and practical order for your data entry.

The contents of the letter was fuzzy as it said my mom was a winner and they didn't understand why she had not replied to the initial notification letter sent to her on Dec. 2, 2008. She never received any such letter. It mentioned she had signed an entry agreement, she typically "never" signs anything like this and doesn't recall doing so especially for an agreement, nor replying to any PCH letter. They said she needed to reply promptly by the deadline date or she would forfeit her prize. Yet there was no deadline mentioned within the letter? Also said that she needs to speak to Maggie Bradley by calling 1-866-765-5498 extension 221, and not to cash the check until contacting Maggie. The $1780.00 check is supposedly to help cover some fees if needed. Fees for what? Oh, on the bottom right of the letter it has the logo indicating they are a member of the Better Business Bureau. Impressive!
Over the past 3 days mom has called the number many times and always gets an automated teller prompting her to enter her party's extension. She's left Maggie numerous messages with her name and phone number only.
I'm on the phone calling now and pressing nothing just listening, the system went thru 5 cycles of repeating itself then dead silence, and ringing, then the message from the phone company "if you'd like to make a call . . . "
I redialed, the system offers a choice of 5 persons names, their extension #, or you can press the # sign for a listing of names, which consists of the same 5 names. At this point I wanted to have some fun and scream into a voice mail box "I was pretty darn ticked off, tired of makin' so many calls, and was darn near ready to skin someone alive, and I was comin' to get my million bucks" so I dialed 221 the system asked me to state my name. I said in the bext hillbilly voice I could muster "Pete McGillicutty here" some nice music and then "if you'd like to leave a message please press 1", I did there was nothing for few seconds then I hear "you've reached the voice mail of Maggie Bradley, I'm on the phone please leave a message", then the system told me this voice mail was full and no longer accepting messages. Golly gee, I wonder why?
The more I type here the more this sounds like BS.
Maybe I should use the check for a plane ride to fly out there and git my million dollar prize, I would but I jess don't know who to see and where to go once I get there . . . LOL

BARRE – Water service wasn't interrupted, but Third Street was closed to through traffic Wednesday night when a high-pressure water line blew out creating a massive sinkhole in the middle of the residential street.
City Engineer Reg Abare said it wasn't clear what caused the break that was reported at 8:30 p.m., but the problem was quickly isolated using "gate valves" located on either end of the short street that runs between North Main and Beckley streets.
With the break easily contained and no one believed to be without water, Abare said repairs were pushed off until Thursday morning to avoid incurring overtime expenses associated with night work.
According to Abare, the section of 8-inch cast iron pipe is several decades old and could have fractured due to a "water hammer" caused by a fire hydrant being opened and quickly closed. He said he hadn't had time to explore that theory.
Third Street remained closed to through traffic on Thursday while the high-pressure line was being repaired.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The city has released a statement defending its response to recent overflow issues, ...

After many times failing to submit payment, we negotiated a lower rate with them ONLY to get them to pay past due invoices. We believed Debbie and that usage was less than they expected so we were happy to work with them. She confirmed the company would stay on top of payments and appreciated the lower pricing. However, nothing changed, in fact it got worse. We are not 12 months behind on payments and they continue to offer our products and services as a prominant feature on their website.
After being notified many times. Debbie finally said "I don't even know if we are still using it." However, it is right on their MAIN home page and it is clearly visible to anyone coming to the site. Come on Debbie, as President of your company you never look at your own home page when you are an online company???
Now www.UniversityDecisions.com and www.VergoInteractive.com will not pay invoices or return phone calls or emails. We are going to have to take expensive legal measures because it is not only about unpaid license fees but also the fact they still use our materials to get people into their site.
They are marketing for many reputable colleges and universities. I wonder if these clients know how they are getting people into the site?
We believe in Debbie and the integrity of the companies she represented and headed up. When I saw the other report about her and her companies on RipoffReport.com I could not bbelieve it. It was our exact story. When you start seeing a repeated pattern red flags go up all over. I hope this keeps someone else from being in the same situation we now find ourselves.

I have an account in collections. What should I do?
105 Comments |
Have you ever received a notice from a collections agency? You're not alone. Nearly half of Credit Karma members currently have at least one derogatory mark, such as an account in collections, on their credit report. In our Credit Advice Center, members often ask about the best way to deal with debt collectors.
Here's a quick step-by-step guide on what to do when facing an account in collections.
Check your credit score
If you received a letter or a call from a collections agency, first find out how the new collections account is affecting your credit score. The new account should show up in your Credit Report Card under derogatory marks, as well as your Credit Karma Notifications in your Score Center. You'll be able to see how your score was impacted by the new derogatory mark.
Draft a debt validation letter
According to the Federal Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a collections agency must validate that they're legally allowed to collect on your debt. Send a written request of validation within thirty days of receiving the first written notice of the debt and you'll be within your rights, according to the FDCPA. You can see an example of a debt validation letter here.
The debt collector must stop attempting to collect the debt from you until they've sent a sufficient response to your letter. If they can't validate your debt, you shouldn't need to worry about repaying them. However, if they can validate it, you should work out a payment plan.
Negotiate an update to your credit report
If you have the funds to pay back the debt, first see if you can have the derogatory mark removed from your credit report. Write to the debt collector to ask if they'll agree to remove the account from your reports if you pay it in full or pay an agreed-upon amount as settlement. This is called a "pay for delete" letter (example here). Do it in writing so that you retain a physical copy of the communication.
If the debt collector won't agree to remove the account from your report (most probably won't), write another letter to see if he'll agree to update it to "Paid in full" once you've paid the debt. If you'll be settling the debt (instead of paying it in full), he may agree to mark the account as "Paid – settled" instead.
Pay off your debt
Once you've negotiated with your debt collector, pay your debt as agreed. Keep proof of your payment for your records.
Monitor your credit report and score
When the debt collector has received and processed your payment, he should update your credit report to the status that you agreed upon: either by removing the derogatory mark, marking the account as "Paid in full," or marking it as "Paid – settled." If your credit report hasn't been updated, you can dispute the account with the credit bureau or bureaus still reporting it. Here's a guide on how to dispute credit report errors.
Check your credit score regularly to see how it's affected by the account being removed or adjusted. Make sure you're enrolled in credit monitoring so you can watch for a notification about the change.

I have a derogatory mark of $75 to an old apartment complex 2 years ago. I was notified early this year, a portion of it is incorrect. I've called the apartment complex about the exact charges and because of new management they can't fight it. I don't want to pay something that I'm unaware about. What should I do?Ceci at 2:28 pm on August 27, 2015
Hello! I have an old debt with Sprint that went to collections. I can see the debt being reported by 2 different entities, however I have not received any sort of communications in the past year. I am ready to pay this in full and in an ideal world I can get it deleted from my report. I'd go for the second option of showing that it is paid in full. My question here is what is the best way to go about this: go to Sprint and tell them I want to pay? Contact each collector and see which one can validly collect my money and fix my record? (if doing the latter and both companies say they can collect, how do I know which one is telling the truth?).Michael at 1:57 pm on December 21, 2015

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton

Our Chicago hardy fig lost its leaves last week after the first frost. We've been trying to find the best way to protect a fig tree for winter and our latest approach using leaves as an insulating barrier is looking like an effective solution.
Anna and I both drastically reduced the amounts of grain we eat to the occasional brownie and as a result we are feeling more energetic with an increase in focus and mental clarity. I mentioned this to a neighbor friend, but I don't think it registered with much impact. He grows Hickory field corn and has it ground into corn meal at a local facility, that is if the racoons don't get to it before it dries out. The above diy corn bin was a simple way of solving the problem for very little money.
What's the best tool to use for chopping wood? I've tried the Super Splitter, and it works a little better than an average axe, but the Chopper 1 is by far a superior chopping device in my opinion. It's got little spring loaded fingers on each side that help to spread the log apart, which practically eliminates the tool getting stuck in a deep wedge that ends up taking more energy to free than the original chopping motion. If you like to chop wood then you will love the Chopper 1.
Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton make an awesome homesteading team and like to share the experience at their WaldenEffect.org blog. That lifestyle is made possible by the new type of chicken waterer they build and sell that makes it impossible for yucky stuff to get into their water.

The days of the week in ancient Rome were named after the planets, which in turn were named after gods. In most cases the Germanic names substituted the name of a comparable Germanic god for the Roman god's name
Old English Wōdnesdæg 'day of Odin', named after the Germanic god Odin or Woden, the supreme god; translation of late Latin Mercurii dies, Odin being equated with the Roman god Mercury. Compare with Dutch woensdag.
Tuesday from Old English:
The ancient Germanic god Tiw is the source of Tuesday. When Germanic peoples came into contact with the Romans they realized that their god Tiw was similar to Mars, the Roman god of war whose day was the third of the week (and who appears in forms such as the French Mardi), and started to call that day 'Tiw's day' or Tuesday. Other days of the week were formed in a similar way, with Wednesday being Woden's day, Thursday Thor's day, and Friday Freya's day; Woden or Odin was the supreme god of the German and Scandinavian peoples, Thor the god of thunder, and Freya or Frigga the goddess of love and fertility.

Selena Gomez: Don't ask what Taylor Swift said at VMAs
Did Taylor Swift really utter an expletive to Selena Gomez when One Direction and former love interest Harry Styles took the stage for the MTV Video Music Awards?
Don't ask Selena Gomez. Swift's seemingly foul-mouthed reaction shot lit up social networks and became an instant GIF. But Gomez reprimanded a reporter who asked what Swift said at the premiere of Gomez's new film, "Getaway," on Monday. "Don't try that with me," Gomez told him.
The young star later said that she's protective of her friends. "I think girls need to be more supportive of each other. I definitely agree with that. I'm all about that," she said. "Taylor has been one of those girls. We have been friends for five years. She is very strong. She doesn't care what people think and she inspires me."
Gomez won best pop video for "Come & Get It" at the ceremony Sunday and said she didn't expect to win.
"So I am watching the beautiful boys, One Direction who are not bad to look at, then they said my name. I looked at Taylor… it was surreal. Because I do put so much work into my music. There's so much talk of everything. But I did put my heart and soul into it so I was really excited. It was great."
Madonna breaks silence on 'Born This Way'
The star opens up about the claim that Lady Gaga's hit is a rip-off of her song, "Express Yourself."
Lady Gaga has been up front about her admiration for Madonna. But does Madonna share the love?
The "Material Girl" sounded lukewarm in U.S. interviews released on Friday, calling her influence on Gaga's music "interesting" and "amusing." Sometimes.
"I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it's amusing and flattering and well done," Madonna, 53, told ABC News in a television interview.
"There's a lot of ways to look at it. I can't really be annoyed by it…because obviously, I've influenced her," the pop star told ABC.
The comparisons between the two divas, both known for combining provocative stunts with catchy dance-pop hits, came to a head when Gaga released her "Born This Way" single last February.
The song was instantly likened to Madonna's 1989 hit "Express Yourself".
"When I heard it on the radio .I said that sounds very familiar," Madonna said. Asked if that felt annoying, Madonna responded, "It felt reductive."
Pressed by ABC interviewer Cynthia McFadden whether that was a good or bad thing, Madonna replied "look it up".
In a separate interview in the upcoming issue of Newsweek, Madonna described "Born This Way" as "a wonderful way to redo my song."
"I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was… interesting," she added.
"Born This Way" became an instant hit for Lady Gaga, 25, topping the charts in 19 countries and becoming the fastest selling song in iTunes history.
The Grammy-winning singer told U.S. talk show host Jay Leno in February that she was Madonna's "hugest fan personally and professionally."
As for "Born This Way", Gaga told Leno; "The good news is that I got an e-mail from her (Madonna's) people, and her sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single."

George Clooney discusses 'The Ides of March'
Director, co-writer, and Oscar-winning actor George Clooney (Syriana) tackles the world of politics in the thriller The Ides of March starring Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. And while the film involves the behind-the-scenes sleazy maneuverings involved in a run for the highest political office in America, Clooney believes The Ides of March could have been set on Wall Street and still had the same impact. At a press conference at the Toronto Film Festival in support of the film's October 7, 2011 release, Clooney explained his take on what The Ides of March (based on the play Farragut North by Beau Willimon) is really all about.
Do your politics influence the roles you choose and movies you direct?
George Clooney: "I didn't think of this as really a political film. I thought this was a film about moral choices. I didn't think of it really as necessarily the political side. I just thought it was a fun moral tale. Once you set it in politics, it amps up all the problems and I thought that was fun."
Tell us about George Clooney the director.
George Clooney: "Pretty much the same guy as George Clooney the actor. I'm exactly the same height, same hair…pretty much the same. I'm lucky enough to work with a great bunch of actors who elevate the project. That's the secret to directing, working with good people. How's that for a political answer?"
What do you expect from other actors?
George Clooney: "I had some pictures of a few of them in compromising positions to get them to say yes. In fact some of them together, but you guys figure that out. Listen, they liked the script, they wanted to do the part, and you sort of get out of the way mostly."
Do you want people to see the greater good or the cynicism towards politics?
George Clooney: "Well, I think you need to remember that films don't lead the way. People oftentimes think that films somehow are trying to lead society. In general, it takes a few years at the very least to get a film made. So mostly we're reflecting the moods and thoughts that are going on in our country or around the world. This film reflects some of the cynicism that we've seen in recent times. That's probably good. It's not a bad thing to hold a mirror up and look at some of the things that we're doing. It's not a bad thing to look at how we elect our politicians, but that wasn't what the film was designed to do."
"Honestly, the idea was for us that there isn't a person you've ever met that hasn't been faced with certain moral questions. Every one of us has had that idea of, 'Well, if I take this job which is better, I might be screwing over my boss who I like.' Everybody makes moral choices that better themselves and hurt someone else along the way. Whether or not the means justify the ends, that to me is universal. It could've been Wall Street. It would've been probably easier on Wall Street. It could've been anything. That was our point."
Politicians may say whatever they can to attract as many voters as possible, and there are some politicians who are happy to represent as specific a base as possible. Why do you think that is and will we come back to politicians trying to serve a greater number of voters?
George Clooney: "I think everything is cyclical and I think we're in a period of time right now where it's probably not our best moment in politics, in the political cycle. But if you look at the things that Jefferson and Adams did to one another, there's an awful lot. The 1800 election was pretty evil and pretty rotten, so things change. They're cyclical."

The X-Men Come Together
After Charles, joined by Erik, recruits the "first class" of young mutants, these gifted students learn to control and direct their powers for the greater good of mankind. But harnessing these powers is not easy, nor is their coming together as a team.
In the first X-Men film trilogy, the mutants have long honed their abilities and were a smooth-running (well, mostly) team. But when we meet the young mutants in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, their powers are untamed and unfocused. Moreover, says Bryan Singer, like most teenagers, the mutants are uncomfortable with being different from their peers. "Their situation is a metaphor for how uncomfortable teens feel in their skin, and how difficult it is when you're 'different' from the societal ideal."
Charles' first mutant ally is Raven, a blue-skinned shape-shifter with superhuman agility. The two mutants had met as youngsters, when Charles discovered Raven rummaging through the kitchen of his family's mansion. (In addition to setting up the critical Charles-Raven relationship, the idyllic setting of the lavish Xavier home provides a stark counterpoint to the circumstances of Erik's childhood.)
Charles makes Raven a member of his family, and they grow up as a kind of brother and sister. But as we know from the first films, their relationship will change dramatically. Explains Bryan Singer: "Because Charles is young and at times naïve, he sometimes doesn't pay as much attention to Raven as he should, and she sometimes becomes resentful. And that takes her on the path to where we find her in the original film trilogy [played by Rebecca Romijn], as part of Magneto's Brotherhood."
Jennifer Lawrence, a Best Actress Academy Award® nominee for her breakout performance in the 2010 drama Winter's Bone, portrays Raven, whose mutant name is Mystique. "Raven has learned to live with her secret, but much like most insecure teenagers who react to something they perceive makes them different, she hasn't really faced up to her unique abilities," she says. "Raven is mostly ashamed of them. She slowly starts to realize it is a blessing and becomes proud of her mutant abilities, as do the other young mutants of their powers. At the beginning we are isolated and alone, and each mutant goes through a huge evolution. We join together to become this iconic X-Men team, and then separate. It is fascinating to see the journey each character takes and which side they ultimately join."
As Charles and Erik become aware of the existence of other mutants, they discover a plot that puts them in the middle of the escalating tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, which is hurtling the world toward disaster. This, in turn, creates an uneasy alliance between the mutants and a covert U.S. government agency. At the agency, Charles and Erik meet Hank, a brilliant scientist with only a few mutant features – until a serum unexpectedly unleashes the superhuman Beast within.
Hank, his mutant powers as yet unrevealed, works at the top-secret agency developing world-changing technology, like Cerebro and the X-Jet. Hank has been alone for much of his life, in hiding and embarrassed by his big simian-like feet and superhuman agility. When he meets Charles and Erik, Hank's life takes an unexpected turn. Explains Nicholas Hoult, a rising star who takes on the role of the mutant whom fans would come to love as Beast: "Charles tells Hank he must release his full mutant powers. Hank has been trying to suppress his powers and convince himself they don't even exist. He is too afraid of what he might be capable of if he unleashes them. Charles makes Hank confront his mutant abilities, learn to control them, and use them to help both mutants and humans."
Hoult, who is now before the cameras in Bryan Singer's adventure Jack the Giant Killer, understands how Hank's feelings about his unique abilities are so relatable: "Everyone has been embarrassed or felt like an outsider, at some time in their life. The feelings these mutants have about their powers are no different. When they find each other, and can share their talents, they can finally be proud of who they are."
Rounding out the team that become the first class of X-Men are Lucas Till as Alex Summers, aka Havok, who can emit concentric rings of super-heated energy waves, causing his targets to burst into flame – and whom Charles and Erik free from solitary confinement in a penitentiary; Caleb Landry Jones as Sean Cassidy, aka Banshee, whose unique sonic blasts carry him into flight; and Edi Gathegi as Armondo Munoz, aka Darwin, whose "reactive evolution" enables him to adapt to any situation or environment.
Tilda Swinton: I tried to kill my youngest brother as a child
Was Tilda Swinton a bad seed? The Oscar-winning actress, 50, reveals a deep, very dark childhood secret: She nearly murdered her youngest brother as a child.
The We Need to About Kevin star told the shocking story to England's The Telegraph magazine.
Recalling the brutal 1993 murder of 2-year-old British boy James Bulger, Swinton said: "Years ago, when James Bulger was murdered, every newspaper front page was talking about evil. At that point, having suppressed it for years, I remembered when I was four or five, I tried to kill my own brother."
Explained the British star: "He was newly born and I was disappointed, because he was the third boy. That was enough as far as I was concerned."
But, thankfully, the Michael Clayton actress had a change of heart when visiting her baby brother's nursery. "I went into his room to kill him, saw some ribbons from a bonnet going into his mouth, and began to pull them out," Swinton recalled. "And I was discovered saving his life. So I had this strange reputation – my brother's savior – and no one knew I wanted to kill him. It took the Bulger case for me to remember that I'd seriously wanted to."
Partners since 2004, Swinton and Scottish painter John Byrne are parents to 13-year-old twins, son Xavier and daughter Honor.
The topic of child evil has been on Swinton's mind as she promotes new flick We Need to Talk About Kevin, in which she plays the mother of a boy who commits mass murder.
"It's everybody's nightmare that, when they're pregnant, they're going to give birth to the devil," she has said. "That when they bring up children, especially a boy, they're going to give birth to this violence."

This is my first time doing stuffed peppers in the crockpot. I did find that 5 hours on high just a bit too much. I found the peppers were just way too soft. After reading all the reviews I had added salt, pepper, garlic powder. As well I put in about 2 T of the tomato soup and about 1/2cup of shredded mozzarella cheese into the meat mixture. I had made 4 half peppers and 8 meatballs (cause DD doesn't like peppers) The flavor was absolutly delicious. I will make again but cut back on the cooking time. Thanks for posting Michelle.
Wow! This recipe was so tasty and delicious! I've made stuffed red peppers in the crockpot before but this one has the best flavor. Easy to make too.
I will say I browned and crumbled the hamburger meat, and added salt, pepper and garlic powder to the meat mixture before stuffing the peppers.
This is a "must have again" dinner! Thank you for sharing!
I have never made stuffed peppers before, but my husband had requested to have them one night, and this recipe looked rather fool-proof. I omitted the celery (dont care for it), used turkey instead of ground beef and egg substitute instead of an egg, but followed the rest of the recipe as written. Just FYI, Zatarains doesn't have a seperate seasoning packet, but the box we picked up had the season all stuck together in a little glob (sounds appetizing, i know) so I was able to pick it out of the rice and use it for the sauce. We assembled the meat mixture, the soup topping, and sliced the peppers the night before so we could assemble them all quickly the next morning. My husband threw them on before he left for work and we, like other reviewers, had to stack the peppers to get them all in the pot. The little bit of prep work is totally worth it. By the time we sat down for dinner, the peppers were fork tender and delicious. The filling was cooked just right, the rice wasn't over or under done and the egg bound it all together nicely. My only issue was that I felt like the filling needed something- I added a little salt and a little hot chili sauce, and that seemed to be what I felt was missing. Very good recipe, will definitley make it again but I think I'll add salt from the beginning and maybe some garlic and chili flakes or something to the meat to give it a little kick. Thanks for sharing. With my substitutions above, I figured these to be 5 WW pts/pepper half.

a1 School of Law, University of Exeter1
The current Italian Penal Code is the direct descendant of the 1930 Rocco Code. Originally a hybrid of authoritarian and liberal elements, but revised and reinterpreted in the postwar Republic, the Code was nevertheless introduced under the Fascists and has not been definitively replaced or renamed. Given such roots, this article argues that the Code's legitimacy can be questioned by considering the significance of the Fascist past in terms of the Code's symbolic, contextually narrative and memorial dimensions. On this basis the article develops a concept of tainted law in order to ground and direct analysis of law in relation to the anti-democratic past, arguing that critical engagement with the connections between law and the darker episodes of twentieth-century politico-legal history is vital to the construction and conservation of democratic legal systems today.

The winner of Gray Maynard's UFC 160 clash with T.J. Grant will receive the next crack at lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White announced the news at UFC on Fox 7 on April 20, shortly after Henderson retained his title in a split decision victory over Gilbert Melendez at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. Henderson and Melendez battled for 25 minutes in the main event, with both men scoring meaningful shots throughout the contest. Though the judges were divided in their verdict, it was "Smooth" who saw his hand raised and his winning streak extended to seven fights.
"I'm a fighter, not a judge. It's not my job to judge the fights. I definitely thought I lost the first round, but I felt I won the next four," Henderson told Fox Sports following his third successful title defense. "I haven't been able to watch the fight yet, so give me a little leeway, but I did personally feel that I won the next four."
Should Maynard best Grant on May 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, he would be granted his third shot at the UFC lightweight title. "The Bully" challenged for the... Read More

As soon as an injured Alistair Overeem stepped out of his UFC 160 co-main event with Junior dos Santos, the masses began to clamor for Mark Hunt as his replacement. Apparently, the parties involved were listening. Hunt has agreed to lock horns with the former heavyweight champion on May 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be headlined by the American Kickboxing Academy's Cain Velasquez, as he puts his heavyweight crown on the line in a rematch with Antonio Silva.
Dos Santos suffered his first defeat in 10 Octagon appearances in December, when he relinquished the heavyweight championship to Velasquez in a one-sided unanimous decision defeat. The 28-year-old Brazilian burst on the scene in October 2008 with an upset over... Read More

Velasquez used the performance as a springboard in December, as he avenged his 2011 defeat to dos Santos and reclaimed the heavyweight title in a dominant unanimous decision at UFC 155.

I have a reading with this guy and have just read another post about him here and he said the exact same thing to me word for word. I posted the following feedback regarding him and I can't believe people have fallen for his line of crap...
Absolute garbage, I asked for a status update regarding my relationship and he just went into telling me how much this guy was my soulmate and my other half and if I could see the charts I would cry and after 5 mins of this still hadn't started the reading. I have requested a complete refund which I have never done before. If he and the site has any reputable qualities my account will be fully credited. I feel as if I have been ripped off of my hard earned money. This is completely unacceptable.
I contact Liveperson regarding this to ask for a refund and they basically told me to go pound salt.

He tried to get me to let him "work on" my situation by telling me he would talk to my guy who broke up with me using his psychic powers. He told me he could convince my guy to be with me by just talking to directly to his soul. At that point I hung up, because I knew he was trying to rip me off the same way he has probably ripped off others. There is no way a psychic can influence the outcome of a situation at all. So this is a fraud just like spells or candle burning, as far as I can tell because you can't control the mind of another person, even if you want to. All I wanted to know was would me and my guy get back together.
He tries to make you believe he cares, but he wants your money. I feel bad for all those believing he can help them with his "work" and telling everyone what they want to hear. He takes advantage of those that are desperate, to make money, which is all he really cares about. I am thankful I was smart enough to see his line of crap, and only spent $5.99 a minute on him not like the poor folks on Live Person who he suckered for 19.99 a minute. No one is worth 19.99 a minute, unless you are God himself.
Why do sites allow people to sell this line of crap to people who are desperate to find out about their love life? How can they turn a blind eye to someone who is taking advantage of those upset and in emotional turmoil? Because of the money they make, so I guess that makes them a particpant??? No reputable site would let him, or anyone else, get away with it. It seems to be a clever scam though, and sadly I guess there are some who might fall for it, just glad I did not. I won't call him again, even if he is free.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Metrical Feet
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Metrical Feet Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
If Derwent be innocent, steady, and wise, (11)
This line puzzled us when we first read it. In addition to being Coleridge's son's name, the Derwent is also a river in northern England. So for a second, it's easy to confuse the two Derwents, especially if one doesn't know that it's Coleridge's son's name.
Quote #2
If Derwent be innocent, steady, and wise,
And delight in the things of earth, water, and skies; (11-12)
The rhyme on "wise" and "skies" is interesting. Could there be some relationship between "delighting" in nature and wisdom? Alternatively, it could also mean that those who are "wise" are somehow equivalent to the "skies," in beauty or grandeur.
Quote #3
Could you stand upon Skiddaw, you would not from its whole ridge
See a man who so loves you as your fond S.T. Coleridge. (17-18)
"Could" is an interesting word for it implies that Derwent is not able to stand on the top of Skiddaw (maybe it's because he's too young?). Either way, nature can be daunting, something we cannot conquer.
