When it comes to getting second chances, Lena Dunham lucked out big time.
In a recent interview with Grantland's Bill Simmons, the Girls star says she was let go while briefly working on HBO's 2011 miniseries, Mildred Pierce. "I got fired off the one day I did," she says. "Fired might be a rough word but I got sweetly dismissed."
The actress played a nurse set in the period drama, but she didn't quite prep enough for her role.
"I didn't practice. I looked over the script with my mom and since the project takes place in the '30s I was like, 'Am I supposed to do any kind of accent?' My mom was like, 'They are hiring you to be you. Just go for it.' "
The result?
"You could just see everybody's face drop,' she said. "It was like Ricky Gervais in Extras. They were like, 'This is a f–––ing disaster.' " Still, director Todd Haynes, "could not have been sweeter" about letting her go, she says.
Just a year later, Dunham was back on top at the premium cable network with her hit show, Girls. But even with her newfound success as Hannah Horvath, the memory of her Mildred Pierce gig still comes back.
While shooting this season of her show, Dunham had to hire a dialect coach for a scene. To her surprise, it was the same coach she had worked with on Mildred Pierce.
"I had like a full P.T.S.D. reaction," she says of the surprise run-in. "I couldn't take it because she was the bearer of such negative memories for me."
Lena Dunham Reveals She Was Once Fired By HBO

Hopefully we get some new channels son. Theres rumors that the Internet Channel full will come out next week.
Nintendo has done a fabulous job at bringing out VC games so far. I had been waiting since november for Splatterhouse, and I'm glad it finally made it. Most games they havebrought out were great choices; Elevator Action, Splatterhouse, Toe Jam n Earl, Contra 3, Super Castlevania, Mario 64, SMB, etc. The list can go on forever. Just because you dont appeal to the current weeks release, does not mean that nintendo screwed up this week or any week, because there are people out there that have been waiting patiently and wishing for Romance of the 3 Kingdoms. For one, its not a bad game. It takes skill and strategy, not random luck of firepower from games like R-Type, Contra, etc. That may not be your genre of gaming, so let it be, and be happy for those who enjoy those types of games, that they are receiving a "gem" on the VC this week.
I have been watching this forum for almost 2 months now, just checking the games being released while im at work. After hearing 2 months of griping and nintendo bashing, I had to create an account just to speak my mind. I myself have only downloaded 5 VC games. Does that mean 90% of them suck? Not at all. Some of the games I have already on the original consoles, some I have never heard of and are hoping to get a chance to check them out now, and especially, I'm looking forward to all the Turbo Grafx 16 games, since I was not fortunate enough to get that system when it was released. I can definitely give a thumbs up to nintendo for the excellent job they are doing.
Hopefully we get some new channels son. Theres rumors that the Internet Channel full will come out next week.
maybe this is an aprils fool thing and on sunday they will release 10 snes games, 5 n64 games, and add the dreamcast.
No.....Originally Posted by North99
Yeah maybe you'll get something else instead..probably will.
Some of you people just have ridiculous ideas in your head. The press release says there is 1 game, THERE WILL BE NO OTHERS THIS WEEK. It is an official press release. Though it doesn't mean there won't be some other new channel release later this week, we don't know yet.
A new channel would be awsome!!!!!!!
lets all hope for the demo channel...........
Join the Buy BWii Campaign and Buy BWii!
Spoiler Alert!
Midna is the Twilight Princess.
I don't think you spent a lot of money on your wii so you can download old games. It's a nice little perk but if that's the reason you got the system then I think you wasted your money.Originally Posted by CaseyCor
Originally Posted by danib62

And for all of you who say they have to release crap other wise the VC will end before it starts you are wrong. They have over 20 years of material to use. They can spread that out nicely once a week for 5 - 7 years until the next gen consoles release.

Electric guitars are undeniably one of the most popular instruments in the entire world. They've found their way into nearly every culture and genre, which has the very welcome side-effect of guitars having the widest breadth of choices around when it comes to accessories. That naturally includes guitar amplifier heads, and there are tons of options here to suit any playing style, genre, instrument or preference. Every serious guitar player should definitely have at least one amp head in his or her collection.When you're deciding on an amp, one of the most important things to figure out is whether you'll go for a solid-state or vacuum tube design. Each of these has pros and cons, so it's really a matter of matching it to your needs. For example, tubes are the undisputed kings of vintage tone, and tons of guitarists swear by them. On the other hand, solid-state circuitry is lower-maintenance and delivers a clearer, more technical sound, which is ideal for touring and precise play. There are also amplifier heads that sit on the fence, like hybrid designs, which usually combine a tube preamp with a solid-state power amp. Another interesting concept is the modeling amp: these are designed to accurately replicate the tone of classic amplifiers, so it's as if you have a whole collection of vintage amps compressed into one.Apart from the electronics that they're based on, another defining feature of amplifier heads is the power level they put out. More often than not, this corresponds directly to the speaker cabinets you're going to plug in. The bigger the venue and the bigger the drivers, the larger and more powerful the amp head to power them. In light of that, it might be confusing as to why some models, like the 5W Randall RD5H Diavlo, are so small. The answer is actually quite simple: these low-powered amps are the perfect ones to use in the studio or at a jam session, plugged directly into a mixer or a compact speaker. This way you can still have the tone-shaping benefits of a dedicated amp head even in situations where high power just isn't necessary.Considering how many different places and methods there are for playing guitar, there are lots of reasons to own not just one amplifier head, but several. Whether you decide to pick out the most versatile head possible for multi-purpose use or to equip yourself with a whole collection of purpose-built models for every situation is up to you. What really matters is that you've got the flexibility to make those choices thanks to the impressive selection of amp heads available here.

Role at the Emerson Gallery: Gallery Attendant
Concentration: Art History & History
Hometown: Shandong, China
On the afternoon of the Commencement Day, 2010 May 23rd, student artists came to the gallery and took down their works. My melancholy started to engulf me as my best two senior friends were leaving that afternoon--one to Bulgaria, one to Japan. The end of an era foreseeing the début of a passionate and splendid summer, sorrows under the bright May sunlight: that afternoon stayed with me.

What impresses me about Edward Hopper is his ability to capture an off moment--not the typical epic moment of a heroic story. And he must be good at catching that psychologically off moment of me.

Homework 5 - Hints
3. A number is not greater than itself.
4. Do a proof by contradiction: assume that there is an ordering for the numbers 1 to 36
on the wheel such that every three consecutive integers has a sum of 54 or less. Divide the
wheel into 12 consecutive sections, each containing three (consecutive) integers, and use your
assumption to get an upper bound on the sum of all the numbers on the wheel. You can
actually calculate the sum of the integers from 1 to 36. Recall the formula for the sum of
the integers from 1 to n: n(n + 1)/2. Compare the actual sum to your upper bound.

Like Mike
It's obvious from watching "Like Mike" that the National Basketball Association cooperated in the making of the film, which centers around an orphan, Calvin Cambridge (Lil' Bow Wow), finding a mysterious pair of basketball shoes that give him magical powers and make him good enough to actually play in the NBA. Many of the NBA's biggest stars are featured in cameos including Chris Webber, Jason Kidd, David Robinson, and Vince Carter. Given the average NBA player's penchant for leaving little bastards in major cities around the country, this whole orphan theme is one impressive PR move.
Due to the industriousness of our team of Mr. Cranky fact-finders, evidence suggests that the odds that Calvin Cambridge is actually related to an NBA player are 10 to 1. The Los Angeles location of this film has been factored in accordingly, since creating bastard children in L.A. is worth an extra 400 "cool" points on the Wilt Chamberlain righteousness index.
Calvin lives in an orphanage where Stan Bittleman (Crispin Glover) is the guardian. Putting Crispin Glover in a children's film is like casting the pets.com sock puppet as Napoleon. One is never quite sure whether Glover is going to deliver his next line or try to kick someone in the head. Clearly, Crispin Glover as the head of an orphanage is a casting decision more appropriate to a horror movie. Say what you will about Crispin Glover, but the guy's agent is either some sort of super-strong cyborg-agent superman, or has pictures of director John ("Drive Me Crazy") Schultz screwing a goat.
Cambridge is picked up by the local Los Angeles team after defeating team star Tracey Reynolds (Morris Chestnut) in a one-on-one game concocted as halftime entertainment by Frank Bernard (Eugene Levy). Eventually the coach (Robert Forster) puts Calvin in a regular game and he quickly becomes the team's star attraction. But what Calvin really wants is a father. The least likely candidate for that position at the beginning of the film is Reynolds, which means that by the end of the film, Reynolds will be embracing fatherhood like a guy fondling a stripper in the back room at the Gold Club, undoubtedly the conception site of many a future "Like Mike 2" star.

GEO Newsletter Highlights Advances in Climate Observation Collaboration
May 2011: The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has released the May issue of its newsletter, titled "GEO News" on new developments in the implementation of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which highlights advances in climate observation collaboration in the US and Europe.
The newsletter reports that: the US National Integrated Drought Information System has offered to link existing regional drought monitoring systems to form a global system; and that EuroSITES has been seeking to integrate and enhance Europe's ocean observatories and establish a single portal for long-term climate data records of oceanic and surface-atmospheric variables in key ocean regions across Europe. GEO is encouraging governments and organizations to submit innovative communication tools, initiatives and visualizations for communicating the benefits of Earth observations.
On biodiversity, GEO News notes that the European Biodiversity Observation Network (EBONE), Europe's contribution to the GEO Biodiversity Observation Network, is entering its final year. GEO is a voluntary partnership of governments and international organizations acting as a framework for coordination on strategies and investments on Earth observations. [GEO News Issue 14]

The manager we used to know as the "Special One" dubbed himself the "Happy One" at his press conference announcing his new position with Chelsea. Jose Mourinho has rejoined Chelsea to, hopefully, bring them back to glory.
With Andre Schurrle already on the payroll for next season, it will be interesting to see who else will join him at Stamford Bridge. Here are five players that could potentially play for Mourinho next season at Chelsea.
Edinson Cavani, Napoli
The Uruguayan striker has been rumored to leave Napoli for some time now, but not by his own doing. He has not yet asked to be transferred, but it is a foregone conclusion that he will be playing for a better club next year.
Cavani played incredibly in Serie A this season—netting 29 goals in just 34 appearances. His strong play could translate well to any club he goes to.
Tancredi Palmeri : Chelsea ready to raise to 52m € the bid for Cavani #CFC #Transfers— Gi (@g_irgalina4) June 14, 2013
Mourinho just made a staggering offer for Cavani, but we will see if the number will rise high enough to outbid Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Wesley Sneijder, Galatasary
Galatasary president Unal Aysal has told potential teams that Sneijder is available, and his perfect destination could be Stamford Bridge. Mourinho already has a past with the new manager, as he helped bring Mourinho's Inter Milan squad the Treble in the 2009-10 season.
WESLEY SNEIJDER has fuelled talk of a move to Chelsea by hailing his "great relationship" with Jose Mourinho. more: http://t.co/BFNF7dglOE— Maestro Kalito Briga (@kalitobrigante) June 10, 2013
Sneijder's confirmation over his excellent relationship with his former boss makes this move seem much more plausible. Holland coach Louis van Gaal has also encouraged his midfielder to make the move, as he would have a better chance on the national team if he were in England.
With all sides seemingly interested, it only seems a matter of time for this move to actually happen.
Sami Khedira, Real Madrid
When Mourinho leaves a club, he always tries to bring players with him as he prepares for his new club. Sami Khedira has already professed his love for his former coach, and with that brings the willingness to transfer.
Schürrle: "Ozil and Khedira both told me that he is the best coach they have ever worked with." #CFC— José Mourinho Fan (@HappyOne_13) June 14, 2013
In his three years in Spain, Khedira has only played for one coach, and that is Mourinho. Real Madrid has made it clear that they will block any attempts the former coach makes to take in Khedira, per the Daily Standard, but this won't stop Chelsea.
As one of the biggest clubs in Europe, they will be willing to spend any money possible to bring in the players they need. For the right cost, Real Madrid will most likely give up Khedira to Chelsea.
Fábio Coentrão, Real Madrid
Another Real Madrid starter that could be on his way out, regardless of the Mourinho situation at Chelsea, is Fábio Coentrão. The Portuguese defenseman expressed his frustration with his time at Real Madrid, feeling unwanted at times.
With Ashley Cole on the books until after next season, Coentrão would be the next in line to take over the left full-back position. Cole has been playing in the Premier League for 15 years now, and his time playing at this high level are getting behind him.
Coentrão would be a great spell for Ashley Cole as they try to preserve him for the entire season.
Wayne Rooney, Manchester United
MOURINHO has dropped a heavy hint that #Chelsea will welcome Wayne Rooney to Stamford Bridge http://t.co/LJ596kQuXQ pic.twitter.com/icBbdhDbph— The Standard Digital (@StandardKenya) June 11, 2013
Wayne Rooney was most definitely unhappy with his role at the end of the season and expressed his interest in leaving the club. But, with Andre Schurrle already signed and the young Romelu Lukaku looking more ready to play for the Blues as each day passes, where does that leave Rooney?
Rooney's experience and talent will find him in the starting lineup, regardless of his woes last season. Schurrle and Lukaku are still young and in the prime age to learn the game. Playing under Rooney would help their development more than anything.
Manchester United has already denied interest in selling Rooney inside the Premier League, but if they can bring in a suitable replacement, Stamford Bridge could be his new home.
Among players that would be coming to Stamford Bridge this season could be a few players currently on loan. With the addition of at least some of these rumored players, Mourinho will continue to be the "Happy One" next season.

Prince William loves his hard cider. And manufacturers of the drink couldn't be happier, because the 21-year-old royal's passion for the potion has sent sales soaring and provided the beverage with a new, hip image.
According to the British Press Association, Waitrose, a leading British supermarket chain, claims that demand for the once-unfashionable drink has grown by 22.8 percent in the past month, while sales of traditional English ciders from small producers (other than Waitrose's brand) had ballooned by as much as 35 percent.
"Prince William has given cider a brand-new young and sophisticated image. Customers are saying, 'If it's good enough for him, I must try it to see what I'm missing,'" said Christian Cull, a Waitrose spokesperson, according to the British Press Association.
Cull added: "Until recently, cider was seen by many to be an old traditionalist's drink, forever associated with pubs and farms in the West Country. But Prince William has turned that image upside down."
In interviews and at royal appearances, William has reportedly demonstrated his preference for the apple-based alcohol. Not only that, reports the Scotsman newspaper, but also last month, William's father, Prince Charles, 55, visited a Cambridgeshire pub and tasted a cider.
He remarked afterward that the drink would have suited his elder son very well.
William's Latest Fancy: Hard Cider

I am looking at the Interarms AR-15 Flattop 20 inch barrel. The price is awesome at $629.00. Any feedback or knowledge about this rifle?

Never really heard of Interarms, sorry. To me the price seems pretty good but with no reputation it will be a gamble. Chances are if you aren't abusing it it will work, but you could spend the same or a bit more and probably get a more reputable brand.
You can get a 20" flattop upper here (http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/complete-uppers/20/psa-20-5-56-1-7-cmv-chrome-lined-mp-hpt-upper.html)for $337, M-16 BCG here (http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/featured/m16-bolt-carrier-group.html)for $140, and a complete lower here (http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=19600/Product/Complete-A2-Style-Lower-Receiver-w-Fixed-Rifle-Buttstock)for $240...that adds up to $717.
Or you could go here (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/233217/del-ton-ar-15-a3-flat-top-upper-assembly-556x45mm-nato-1-in-9-twist-20-government-contour-barrel-chrome-moly-matte-with-a2-handguard-flash-hider)and get the upper for $399. That would put you at $639 for a Del-Ton upper and DPMS lower. Even cheaper if you did a kit for the lower. I trust PSA a lot more than Del-ton, PSA is mil-spec and although relatively new to the scene has a solid reputation. Del-ton is known as a budget brand, as well as DPMS, both are hit or miss, but at least they are KNOWN in the first place, and a lot of people swear by them.
If you do go with the Interarms, report back with how it goes. I am the type that won't even buy a CAR in the first two years of a model's new generation, so they can work out the kinks, so I am always hesitant about newish/unknown companies. But it is entirely possible (and even I dare say, likely) that they could build you a good gun and if so you should report that...that's how companies slowly start working their way up from relative obscurity.
October 3, 2012, 10:49 AM
Interarms = Highstandard
I put them above DPMS/M1S/DTI. They're a decent company. They are definitely one of the better AK builders. However, I never buy their AR stuff because in the past it hasn't been priced competitively. PSA and others are generally cheaper. Brownells carries their stuff.
I am not really sure where Interarms/Highstandard is trying to fit into the AR market. They didn't come in cheaper than everybody else. It looks like they're getting cheaper though. They haven't made any claims that their stuff is better. In fact, I've seen very little in the way of marketing from them. I've wondered if they supply parts (perhaps more than we might imagine) to other more recognized Ar15 brands, and are content to do that primarily. Don't know.
As stated above, I'd probably go for a PSA before anything else.For a little more, you could pick up a PSA flat top 20" with a CHF FN barrel. The FN barrels are good, but so are the non FN "Premium" barrels from PSA. I've had several PSA uppers, including four 20", and they have all been very good.
EDIT: Here's an accuracy test of PSA 20"ers I did a while back. I might revisit that because I've since changed to 52 gr Nosler CC bullets, and I believe them to be more accurate. Consider that the groups linked below were fired with open base M193 type bullets. Not the most accurate.

Thesp to play Wyatt Earp in crime pic
Harrison Ford is attached to portray Wyatt Earp in a feature adaptation of "Black Hats: A Novel of Wyatt Earp and Al Capone."
Project's produced by Thunder Road topper Basil Iwanyk and Jason Netter of Kickstart Prods. along with Rodrigo Teixeira and Fernando Loureiro of Brazil-based RT Features, which is funding development.
The novel, published in 2007, pits Wyatt Earp against Al Capone during the 1920s with Earp being commissioned by Doc Holliday's widow to go to New York, where Doc's son owns a speakeasy — which is menaced by a young Al Capone.
Kurt Johnstad ("300") will write the adaptation of the novel, which was penned by the prolific Max Allan Collins ("Road to Perdition") under the pen name Patrick Culhane.
Iwanyk's in production on the "Clash of the Titans" sequel. Netter and Neal Moritz recently set up "The Red Star" at Warner Bros., picking up feature rights to the fantasy comic book series out of turnaround from Universal.
Ford stars in "Cowboys & Aliens," which opens next weekend with a premiere Saturday night at Comic-Con.
Ford is repped by UTA.

Danica Patrick fever grows at Speedway
Daytona 500 runs Sunday
Danica Patrick is big news in Daytona Beach.
She won the pole for Sunday's Daytona 500, a first for any woman, and she's won over plenty of race fans.
In fact, some people who didn't care much about the Great American Race, now have a new reason to cheer.
"We're in line for a girl power hat," said one race fan. "She's such an inspiration for me as a woman and for my daughter, an inspiration that for girls, no matter what the age, you can do anything if you put your dreams to."
That was a common theme.
"We love that she's a girl and making the sport more fun for girls like us to come out and enjoy," said another fan.
It wasn't just mothers and daughters or dads and daughters in line for hats, visors and T-shirts, the crowd in front of her trailer included some men. Her line also dwarfed the people in front of her boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s souvenir trailer.
There will certainly be debate over how her Daytona pole will translate into a full season of success or failure, but she's a powerful force.
"I think the sport has blown up, the women, the men, I mean, she's pretty, she's articulate, she's so marketable," a race fan said.
"This is big money out here, people work hard to come here and spend their money," another race fan said. "They got to have something to look forward to and I think she puts pizazz in the sport."
In a world where making money is often a measure of greatness, a least right now, Patrick's one of the hottest tickets in town.
Only nine pole winners have ever won in race history.

PowerPoint is a versatile and easy-to-use software package that allows you to create informative, engaging business presentations in a slide show format. Entrepreneurs often use PowerPoint presentations when meeting with prospective investors. But they can also be used as stand alone reference material to email to business colleagues or prospective customers in cases where an in-person meeting will not take place.
Start With Outline
The best PowerPoint presentations have a logical flow. Each successive slide should build upon the information from the previous one. Start by writing down the essential points you want to make during the presentation. Ask yourself what you want the audience to remember when the presentation is over. If you are making a sales presentation, design each slide so it moves the audience toward the conclusion that they should do business with you.
Design Slides for Maximum Impact
Keep the slides to a reasonable number. A 20-minute presentation would need no more than 10 slides. Don't overload each slide with content. Write in sentence fragments wherever possible. Choose statistics carefully, using only those that reinforce the points you are trying to make. Too many statistics can make the presentation seem dry.
Maintain Visual Interest
Color, font size, font type and background design are all tools you can use to make your presentation really stand out. Vary the font size, so some slides have just a few words in large type. Your audience will recognize that this information is something you want them to remember. PowerPoint slides allow you to import graphics, such as pictures and charts. Mix these in between your slides that are all text.
Keep File Size Reasonable
It's tempting to include videos in a PowerPoint presentation. They can be more interesting and persuasive than a series of slides with just words. Keep in mind that incorporating videos can make the file size enormous. If you email the presentation, it can take a significant amount of time for the person receiving it to download. People can be annoyed when this happens. The other factor is time. If you add three five-minute videos, you have just used up three-quarters of your 20-minute presentation.
Practice And More Practice
PowerPoint is a great aid for individuals who have a fear of public speaking. Being able to view the slides as you make your presentation allows you to stay focused, with less chance you will not remember what to say or will leave out important information. Go through a half-dozen practice presentations with the slides until you are comfortable that your delivery is smooth.
Call to Action
Make your second to last slide a short list that summarizes the most powerful statements you made in the presentation. Repeating these will increase the chances your audience will remember them. Your last slide should indicate what you hope comes next. For example, you could invite them to contact you for further information. And be sure to end with a statement thanking the audience for their time.

Call me backward, but I had no idea that Dolce & Gabbana did make up for brown skins!
The new Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation leaves you with a velvety matte look that has great staying power. I wore it all day and only needed one mini touch up.
The Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation range comes in 15 shades, starting at Classique for the English Rose. I think their colours most suitable for brown skins are as follows:
Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation 148 Amber
Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation 150 Almond
Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation 160 Soft Tan
Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation 170 Golden Honey
Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation 180 Soft Sable
They say Perfect Matte Concealer 6 Soft Sand will best compliment these colours but I didn't try it so you'll have to go to the counter and see if it's the right shade for you.
I tried the darkest shade, Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation 180 Soft Sable and it matched my skin tone perfectly. I tested on the jaw line like you're supposed to and it simply melted into my skin. It was a 100% colour match.
Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation gives medium to full coverage and even without concealer, does a great job at covering imperfections.
Make up maestro Pat McGrath is Creative Advisor at Dolce & Gabbana make up and she says: "The intelligent foundation formula achieves impeccable coverage for a classically perfect beauty look that lasts. Though the coverage is medium to high, the overall look is a more modern natural, soft matte that seamlessly adapts to and works with the skin."
The packaging is beautiful (of course) and a little goes a long way so the bottle should last a while. When it comes to foundation, brands are starting to (finally) realise that providing for a large and diverse audience makes good commercial and ethical sense.
If you're after a good quality medium to high coverage foundation, I recommend Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Matte Liquid Foundation.

What type of case life should I see when loading 9mm with relatively mild loads? I've already loaded most of my cases 3 times, checking for any signs of failure before I load. Should I expect to see 10 or more loadings? I'm mainly using Winchester brass.

Dramatic market moves and a wave of initial stock offerings bring three new company names to the Philly50 for 2014, while three others have been edged off the list. Rising stock prices put all 50 companies on the list above $1 billion in market capitalization - at least for now.
The newcomers are:
Aramark Holdings Corp., which introduced its ticker symbol, ARMK, to the New York Stock Exchange in December, when the company went public for the third time since its founding in Philadelphia in 1959.

Talented but troubled UCLA junior forward Reeves Nelson has been suspended again, this time indefinitely.
It's the third punishment this season for Nelson. The first was termed indefinite but lasted a single game, a loss to Middle Tennessee State. The second was for a half of a game against Chaminade; that came immediately after the first punishment when Nelson missed the team bus to the airport as the Bruins were scheduled to leave for the Maui Invitational. Nelson had to take a later flight.
The latest suspension follows his questionable reaction to a benching during Saturday's loss to Texas. There is no timetable for his return.
"This continues a trend of very disappointing behavior by Reeves," Bruins coach Ben Howland said in a statement. "I personally have worked hard with him to illustrate the importance of the code of conduct for our student-athletes, as well as the ramifications for violating it. I am disappointed that he has continued to fall short of my expectations."
During the Texas game, Howland benched Nelson for the second half. While on the bench as the Bruins struggled, Nelson was seen by reporters to be laughing and pointing to members of the crowd.
Nelson's minutes dwindled as he failed to work his way out of Howland's doghouse. As the Bruins failed to hold a comfortable lead Saturday against Texas, Howland left Nelson on the bench for the second half.
While on the bench as the Bruins struggled, Nelson was seen by reporters to be laughing and pointing to members of the crowd.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Howland was asked if Nelson was challenging his authority.
"No question," Howland said. "And no question his behavior is totally uncharacteristic of what we want from a UCLA basketball player representing this history and tradition.
"It's something that is going to be dealt with when we get together again. It's been an ongoing problem the past two years which has gotten worse."
The Times also asked why Howland didn't leave Nelson home after missing the plane to Maui.
"In retrospect, you're probably right for sure," Howland told the newspaper. "But I think my charge is to try and help these guys."
Nelson is a 6-8, 235-pound junior forward from Modesto, Calif., who averaged 5.7 points and 4.5 rebounds this season despite his minutes being limited by various disciplinary actions. Last season, he contributed 13.9 points and 9.1 rebounds per game as the Bruins reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Randall County Criminal District Attorney James Farren used to have two types of witnesses while prosecuting child abuse cases. Victims were either too distraught or entirely devoid of emotion when they took the stand after being forced to repeat their stories to law enforcement, prosecutors, Child Protective Services, the medical community and counselors.
Farren sometimes had to tell kids that the jury did not believe their testimony, he said, and even if they were too young to grasp concepts like prison, they faced that bitter reality.
"What they do care about is, 'Did someone believe me?' and when they leave The Bridge, they know someone listened," Farren said.
When it first opened its doors in 1989, The Bridge was the first children's advocacy center in Texas. This month marks its 25th year as a neutral space that provides interviews and sexual assault exams for victims of child abuse, who now tell their story just once, to investigators.
Potter and Randall counties had 978 confirmed victims of child abuse or neglect during the 2013 fiscal year, according to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. In a typical case, The Bridge receives references from CPS or law enforcement and sets up an interview with the child in its warm and welcoming office.
"When they walk through the door and see the playhouse and toys, half the battle has been won," Executive Director April Leming said. "They immediately feel comfortable in this environment."
After building a rapport with the child, Bridge staff begin gathering details during an interview that is recorded and watched simultaneously by other agencies investigating the case, she said. Those agencies can refer back to the recording in the future.
The organization also provides counseling referrals so children can begin to heal.
Camille Gilliam, regional director of CPS, thinks the approach strengthens each investigation and makes the process less painful.
"When The Bridge came into being, everyone agreed that we would join together to conduct one interview with the child, and the partners would be present and would be able to feed questions in to the interviewer," she said. "So, it really lessened the trauma to kids from going through those multiple interviews."
Since 1989, the number of interviews performed each year at The Bridge has more than tripled from about 300 to a thousand each year, Leming said.
The Bridge first operated out of the parsonage at Polk Street United Methodist Church and grew into its current office at 804 Quail Creek Drive in 2001. The organization also has opened satellite offices in Pampa, Dumas and Hereford, with plans to establish a Clarendon office this year.
The Bridge's staff has increased from three to 10, and added abuse prevention programs for children and adults, Leming said.

How to track web visits and email opens
The tracking pixel allows you to track how many times a webpage or a banner has been viewed (visits) or how many time an email was opened (opens).
The tracking pixel is a little piece of code containing a transparent image (1 pixel * 1pixel dimension) that can be inserted in all the pages of your website, in the page where a banner is published, in a blog (when you post something) or in the email you send.
With ClickMeter you can generate as many tracking pixels as you want. Thus you can track visits on how many websites you want, track as email opens as you want, etc…
Tracking pixels can also be used to track conversions. You will able to know which user, from which page of your site, or from which email or blog lead to a conversion, also if he just visited the page and did not click on your tracking link.
Some of our customers are using the tracking pixel in many different ways. Many of them publish the code on blog post to know how many time their post has been viewed. Some add it to the signature of their email to know if their email reach the final user or (as an example) goes in junk. We encourage any of you to suggest different ways to use the tracking pixel (firstname.lastname@example.com)

In 1900, Major Walter Reed, Chief Surgeon of the U.S. Army, led a team to Cuba to investigate yellow fever, the disease that had killed an estimated 100,000 people in the US in the 19th century alone. Reed and his team tested the radical theories of Carlos Finlay, a doctor who believed that mosquitoes spread the disease. This program documents the heroic efforts of Reed's team, some of whom put their own lives at risk to verify Finlay's theory.More >

"There's no way to sugarcoat it," Harriman told CBS Sports. "It's a bad deal."
Special thanks to @adidas & @tapnorris for the #AveryStrong T-shirts that arrived today. Appreciate your support. pic.twitter.com/T4K9I2n0LK— Chris Harriman (@chrisharriman24) August 13, 2014
After a successful bone-marrow transplant in 2012, Avery was cancer-free for 18 months – only to relapse for a second time in July. He has been hospitalized ever since.
Last week, though, Avery got some very good news: He could go home from the hospital. And while his battle is far from over, the video of Avery's overjoyed reaction understandably has gone viral.
Nothing better than when Uncle Kenya brings dessert.... Thanks @Coach_KHunter #HospitalLiving #AveryStrong pic.twitter.com/Iu25KFpDWI— Chris Harriman (@chrisharriman24) August 15, 2014
This week, Avery is again due back in the hospital, for another bone-marrow biopsy
"The best-case scenario is he has to go through another transplant, and we know he might not get through it," Harriman continued. "So even the best-case scenario is scary as s---."
Fortunately, the Harrimans have a perfect bone-marrow match in a stranger from California, Andrew Cussen, who has promised he'll be there again if the Harrimans need him.
Please keep Avery in your thoughts, and remember, everyone can be #AveryStrong in his or her own life.

S-File £4.49*, S-Buffer £4.99*, Emergency file £4.49*
I don't think I ever thought I'd review a beauty product by inventor Tom from the Apprentice… but here I am! I actually loved Tom on the Apprentice last year!
So the story is he came up with the idea for the Stylfile when he was watching his sister do her nails using a classic shaped nail file and noticed how awkward it looked. I personally do not file my nails… partly because I'm lazy and I bite them, partly because I'm not very good at it. The Stylfile is curved making it easier to use and much more comfortable to hold.
He's created 3 types; the S-File which is the classic 2 step nail file, the S-Buffer which has 4 steps for filing and buffing and the Emergency file which is small enough to keep in your handbag and comes with a protector to avoid scratching anything in your bag.
For someone like me who's rubbish with nail files, I've found this really great to use. It's definitely made things easier and it looks great too! Well done Tom, I'm impressed!
These will be available from Boots at the beginning of May, but if you can't wait Sainsbury's already stock them!
What do you think of Tom's nail files? Good idea or a gimmick?

Obama is hoping that the Latinos all stupid enough to think that he actually cares about Chavez and doesn't think that he's there just for votes.
According to many historical accounts, Chavez ordered union members to call the Immigration and Naturalization Service and report illegal immigrants who were working in the fields so that they could be deported.
Under the supervision of Chavez, they physically attacked, beat up and killed illegal immigrants to scare them off, according to reports at the time. The UFW was engaged in a "campaign of random terror against anyone hapless enough to fall into its net."

With 10:16 minutes left in the fourth quarter on Saturday in Oakland, the San Antonio Spurs were holding onto a 76-74 lead. Danny Green would knock down two 3-pointers in the next few minutes to help the Spurs put together an 11-0 run, as San Antonio would take a 13-point lead on the Golden State Warriors with 7:35 minutes left in the game, to eventually hold on for the 99-90 win. Tony Parker (20 points) led a group of five Spurs players who scored in double-figures to the victory on a back-to-back night, while the team was without Tim Duncan (rest), Manu Ginobili (rest), and Matt Bonner (right calf sprain). Here were a few keys to the Spurs' 13th win in a row.
Despite another rough shooting night, the machine keeps rolling
On a night when Kawhi Leonard, Boris Diaw, and Patty Mills combined to shoot 8-of-37 from the floor, the Spurs still had five players score in double-figures. Along with Parker scoring 20 points and collecting five assists, Green scored 18 points, Tiago Splitter scored 17 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, Leonard scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and Marco Belinelli provided 15 points off the bench.
The Spurs as a team shot 39% from the floor and 36% from three, but it was their ball movement and cutting that still allowed them to get some uncontested looks. Seven players touched the ball 40 or more times in the game, as San Antonio shot 49 contested looks and 42 uncontested looks. Despite only tallying 24 assists, the Spurs managed to assist on 69% of their made shots. The Spurs also threw 127 more passes than the Warriors.
Green in particular was responsible for half of the team's made 3-pointers, as he shot 5-of-8 from deep on the night. Leonard and Belinelli also made two 3-pointers each in the win. Turnovers were one of the main issues why the Spurs couldn't maintain their double-digit lead in the second quarter, but the team was able to take care of the ball in the second half as San Antonio finished with 14 turnovers total on the night.
For the Warriors, they needed Stephen Curry (20 points), Klay Thompson (16 points), and David Lee (13 points) to provide a majority of the scoring for their offense. Check out how the Spurs were able to count on different players in each quarter (5 points or more).
1Q: Parker 8 points, Green/Splitter/Leonard 5 points each
2Q: Splitter 6 points
3Q: Belinelli 9 points, Splitter 7 points
4Q: Green 9 points, Leonard 7 points
Check out one of Leonard's seven rebounds just before the end of the half. He almost jumped as high as the top of the square mark on the backboard and palmed the ball with his left hand midair.
Spurs hold 'explosive' Warriors from being 'explosive'
22, 25, 22, 21 – Those numbers represent how much the Warriors scored in each quarter against the Spurs' defense. Along with holding Golden State to just eight transition points, the Spurs' defense also forced the Warriors to shoot 40% from the floor and 3-of-15 from 3-point range. Of the Warriors' 77 shots, 49 were contested and just 29 were uncontested. The Spurs also forced Golden State to turn the ball over 18 times.
Curry, Thompson, and Lee combined for 49 points on the night, but they shot a combined 17-of-40 from the floor for those 49 points. With Parker/Mills, Leonard/Green, and Diaw/Splitter guarding the Warriors' trio a majority of night, 31 of the Warriors trio's 40 shots were contested looks. The Warriors were playing without Andre Iguodala.
A look into the 13-game winning streak
During their 13-game winning streak, the Spurs are beating teams by an average of 15.2 points per game. The Spurs are scoring 111.5 points, shooting 48.6% from the field, 42.9% from three, collecting 28.6 assists, and only turning the ball over 13.8 times per game. Defensively, they're holding teams to 96.2 points per game during the streak.
The Spurs are ranked second in Offensive Rating with 111.8 points per 100 possessions and ranked first in Defensive Rating by holding teams to 97.8 points per 100 possessions during the streak.
Spurs clinch a playoff berth
With the victory, the Spurs became the first team from the Western Conference to clinch a playoff berth. The team has now made the playoffs 17 consecutive seasons in a row.
Where San Antonio Stands
- Regular Season: 53-16 (Lead the NBA)
- Road Record: 27-8 (Lead the NBA)
- Vs. Opponents with +.500 records: 24-14 (Lead the NBA)

Last month, November, Birchbox was disappointing for me. I actually considered canceling.. though I dont know why. Birchbox has always been a fave..they can't all be winners every month. ;)
This shampoo is pretty nice, but the conditioner to go with it would have been awesome!
I love Juicy and this perfume is amazing!
I'm gonna be honest and tell you that I have not tried this yet..sorry ;)
This liquid eyeliner is so easy to use and looks great! I love it.
I didn't get to try the cookie :(

Multiphysics simulation of microwave processing using a multidomain coupled solver approach
Tilford, T., Parrott, A.K., Bailey, C. and Pericleous, K.A. (2008) Multiphysics simulation of microwave processing using a multidomain coupled solver approach. In: 8th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM8) and 5th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS 2008). International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), Barcelona, Spain. ISBN 978-84-96736-55-9Full text not available from this repository.
Microwave processing of materials is numerically simulated using a coupled solver approach. Microwave heating is a complex coupled process due to the variation in dielectric properties during heating. The effects of heating an object in a electromagnetic field directly influence the manner in which it interacts with the field. Simplifying assumptions and empirical solutions do not capture the fundamental physics involved and, in general, do not provide usefully accurate solutions in a number of practical problems. In order to capture the underlying processes involved in microwave heating, the problem must be looked at in a holistic manner rather than a number of discrete processes. This contribution outlines a coupled-solver multiphysics analysis approach to the solution of practical microwave heating problems.

Scott Boras apparently won't be representing Carlos Lee after all. That news means Lee almost certainly will be the No. 1 off-season target of the Astros. Based on conversations with club officials, this seems to be the very preliminary off-season blueprint for getting the Astros back into contention:
Sign Carlos Lee to play LF.
Re-sign Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens.
Decide if RF and/or 3B can be filled internally, or if someone from outside the organization must be brought in. If Tampa Bay trades Carl Crawford, the Astros will be interested.
Tim Purpura's toughest job will be deciding which of this year's disappointments he can still count on. Morgan Ensberg, Jason Lane and Brad Lidge all surely have some baseball left in them, but is it with the Astros? Which ones should he count on?
My advice would be to count on all three. I'd make Lee my first priority and go hard for Crawford. I also tend to believe everything else can be fixed internally. If Hirsh is ready next season, if Troy Patton and Hunter Pence arrive in 2008, if Gimenez is close to being ready, then there are a lot of pieces on the way.
I admit to being biased. I've been around Ensberg, Lane and Lidge since they arrived in the big leagues. I refuse to believe they can't still be contributors.

Any fluent suggestion for severe frenzy disorder and g.a.d.?
I suffer from debilitating anxiety attacks. I've have them all my life span and the dabbling within "modern medicine" worked for a spell but plateaud, leaving me even worse and near withdrawal to boot. I've be to a handful of different professionals and they just guess, prescribe, guess, prescribe... markedly frustrating.
So the long and short of it is, I'm sick of taking medicines approaching effexor, paxil and zoloft... I just can't stomach trying more. So I've turned my sites on unprocessed therapy.
Is within anything that truly works for anyone out there? I propose really works... not "well inborn prescription for wellness encyclopedia says."
I've tried 5 HTP, took up yoga for roughly 2 years, took St Johns Wort for about 2 months, took extra B vitamins and took up tai chi. I've be to therapists and average doctors.
I'm looking into homeopathy and bach flower remedies and am a bit overwhelmed. I wish I could try acupuncture, but I'm out of work because of this and can't really afford it.
Answer: Be sure to rule-out these possible CAUSES:
1) Celiac Disease
2) Food allergies
3) Intestinal Dysbiosis/Leaky gut syndrome
4) Heavy metal toxicities (lead, mercury, arsenic, etc.)
5) Micronutrient deficiency (e.g. folate, B12, Magnesium, etc.)
6) Essential fatty acid imbalance - too little omega-3s and excessive levels of omega-6s.
7) Excessive level of trans-fats.
8) Chronic, low-grade inflammation - e.g. from a chronic infection such as in the teeth from root canal, in the gut (dysbiosis), etc.
9) Environmental intolerances (multiple chemical sensitivity).
Obviously, your "doctors" hold not evaluated you for these underlying biochemical problems. You may need to find a specialist surrounded by Nutritional Biochemistry, Functional Medicine, and/or Environmental Medicine to assist you. Some medical doctors, some Chiropractors, some Certified Clinical Nutritionists (CCNs), and most Naturopathic Physicians have the appropriate training.
Best wishes and right luck.
There are no instant remedies for a chronic condition be patient and focus on one treatment at a time; some treatments may lift months before you discern an improvement.
Personally I've found working beside Angels to be the most effective track of helping myself and the results do come quickly, but involve to be continually updated.
The secret is to not ask for anything, but to read aloud 'Thank You' for it already being done.
i used to own panic attacks allot, i have them for a few years and then i realize that they cant hurt you. so what i did was when ever i feel one coming on i would make some chamomile tea and turn on some Nora Jones and merely relax, i know it doesn't sound resembling it would work but it did for me and here is why, i was panicky to death when i have them i really thought i was going to die. and it be almost like my body be having fun scare the ** out of me when i stoped caring and only let it take place i wasn't scared any more and i of late eventually stoped having them Patients next to severe panic disorders, I've other recommended to try an experimental technique called neuro stormy technique. It's very forceful, usually 1-2 visits, and fixes it for correct.
This should bring you hope:
Found stories by typing in anxiety surrounded by the search engine of this pattern site:
Message me on what these people be taking and reinforcement as to why there are results.
Simple, not overwhelming.
For me, I other thought my panic and GAD be happening because I be sort of oversensitive and nervous... but within therapy I in truth realized that I hold PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and that I am pretty much the poster child for it. So, reviewing my memories and looking at the things that have other triggered my panic... that places everything within a context and gives me like mad of confidence that I'm not crazy, that I feel similar to this for a reason.
I did try EMDR (look it up on Google) for processing of traumatic memory. It help a lot.
I do enjoy a (mostly) daily meditation practice. Much better than yoga/t'ai chi for MY anxiety, though I respect everyone who benefits from them. My meditation tradition is focused on letting emotional state come and go, lacking judging them or fear them. I feel profoundly of joy and nouns and I'm not as afraid of my fear.
Here's a connection to something about dismay, by one of my teachers:
These are the things that own worked for me. Good luck to you, keep have faith within yourself.
*Edit - I'm looking at this and I realized that it seem kind of resembling I was trying to convert you to my meditation style. Not trying to convert you, no, no!! Just jovial about what have worked for me. :)
Hi...panic attacks can sometimes be triggered by positive medical conditions, such as thyroid problems. Panic attacks are symptoms that go along beside hypothyroidism...so , you may want to get a screening for that.
Secondly, contained by the natural grazing land, you could try aromatherapy. Essential oils such as lavender, geranium, and bergomont relieve calm the strung-up system. You can inhale them from the bottle, or you can sniff them on a hankerchief that you have put a few drops on. You can also diffuse the smell throughout your home beside a diffuser or steam vaporizor.
Most oils call for to be diluted first ( with the exception of lavender which can be applied trim or directly to the skin), to prevent allergic reactions to the skin, but can be rubbed into the pulse points too.
Furthermore the oil can be dropped into a hot bath for relaxing and soporific the nerves.
I hope this works, and remember, when all else fail, pray. =)
