- "Let us cavort like the Greeks of old. You know the ones I mean."
- ―Hedonismbot
Hedonismbot is a recurring character on Futurama. He is a robot modeled after an ancient Roman hedonist, with the notable improvement of being his own kline (couch). He has a bowl of grapes with him at most times, except when his servant Djambi covers his belly with chocolate icing. He's made entirely of gold and was apparently built with taxpayer's money. Hedonismbot contributes the most out of any robot to global warming. He has a very short attention span, once asking Fry to write an opera, saying he would consider it a smashing success if it kept him entertained through the overture.
He is the rightful owner of the Maltese Liquor and enjoys putting batteries in things. He was in attendance at the Planet Express 100th Delivery Party, where he is concerned that the orgy pit be buttered and scraped, and he eventually prepared to settle down and marry a nice house in the suburbs but at the bachelor party a nuclear stripper-bot suffered a catastrophic melt-down and he was the only survivor of the accident.
When most of Bender's body was Bot-jacked and sold for parts in a robot chop-shop operation, Hedonismbot purchased the "Robo-dong" (aka the Antenna) at The Beast With Two Bucks smut shop (where a toilet cam captured his image) and used it for "...anything and everything." When the Planet Express Crew visited him to retrieve the part, they are shown walking through a pleasure dungeon with him which is populated by both humans and robots, and Leela calls him "Senator."

For the past year my 14-year-old cousins have been doing this thing on Facebook where they write on a friend's wall 'The truth is…' and then complete the sentence. The truth is…I think you're really cute. The truth is…you're good at the clarinet. The truth is…you're the second hottest person in class (this was legitimately said). You get the picture.
Except that I didn't. And still don't, really. No one told me about this new thing that apparently everyone is doing. And the truth is…for the first time in my life, I actually feel old.
OK, so not old. I'm 27, after all. But older. It's the first time I've ever felt a generation out of the loop. These crazy kids have a new language all their own and fossils like yours truly just can't keep up.
(And while we're at it...can we turn the music down just a little?)
But in some way or another, we all know what it's like when someone is speaking a totally different language. Figuratively speaking, that is.
Consider contractors, for example. By understanding the jargon of their trade, apartment professionals can improve project management, and reduce errors and misunderstandings down the road.
1. Roofers speak in "squares." (And often in circles, too.)
A square is a 10 x 10 square foot area or 100 square feet. When requesting a roofing estimate, a contractor will tell you how many squares of shingles are needed.
2. Carpet and padding measurements. Carpet and padding is generally sold by the square yard, not the square foot. These numbers can easily be confused. To determine square yards simply measure the square feet and divide by nine.
Which is where you've already lost me.
3. Electric service. The power lines running to the property generally attach above the roof through a weatherhead. These lines then feed into an electric meter and a circuit breaker panel. All of this taken together is called your electric service.
4. Circuit breakers and amps. Circuit breaker panels (and older fuse boxes) are often defined by amps. Amps are simply a measurement of the amount of power available. The lower the number, the less power you have available.
5. Proper vents. These are located in the attic. This does not refer to attic venting that has been installed "properly." Rather, proper vents are actually an insulation product that allows ventilation from the soffit vent to the ridge vent.
6. Roof flashings. These are the items installed around the pipe penetration coming through the roof. Contractors will call them "pipe boots" or "roof jacks." Also, if there is a leak, some will want to apply caulk, sealant or other mastics to make the repair on a cracked rain collar. Don't let them do this—these items seal from the bottom, not the top.
The truth is…for more, you'll have to check out IRO Insider in the August issue of units Magazine, which mailed Aug. 10.
Lauren Boston is NAA's Staff Writer and Manager of Public Relations. Unsurprisingly, she writes a lot—most often for units Magazine and as a weekly blogger for APTly Spoken. She enjoys making people laugh, sharing embarrassing childhood stories and being the (self-proclaimed) Voice of the Apartment Industry. She welcomes feedback, unless it's negative (in which case, please keep it to yourself).

Naked bikers protest with '21-bum' salute
Current Affairs
Police ordered naked cyclists to get their gear back on in central Auckland yesterday, after arresting their leader for alleged indecent exposure.
Even so, motorists were treated to a "21-bum" salute, equating to the number of scantily-clad cyclists who rode in convoy to protest against the world's dependency on oil-fueled transport.
They all had to wear underpants or briefs after the police intervention, although several female cyclists were allowed to remain topless, with or without body paint.
The expose was part of the World Naked Bike Ride, a growing movement in which cyclists in 15 countries are daubing their flesh with anti-oil slogans to "reclaim the streets for people", Auckland organiser Simon Oosterman said.
Mr Oosterman missed out on the Auckland ride, as he was arrested at the start for refusing a police order to cover up.
"We were trying to draw attention to the indecent exposure suffered by Aucklanders to car fumes and the lives lost as a result," he said after being released on bail.
"What's really indecent is the fact that 250 people die in Auckland each year from vehicle-related pollution," he said, citing a government-issued statistic.

It'll give Minnesota the weakest frontcourt in NBA history, but I'm cool for this deal since it benefits us.
Deadline is approaching and rumors have circulated even though all GM's seem to agree Isiah has not been calling around the league.
He has not let a deadline pass without making a splash and it looks like the only rumor coming now is for none other than Kevin Garnett.
Marc Berman says the rumor is unsubstantiated but you cant help to wonder what if?
The package would supposedly be Channing Frye, Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson and a 2008 first round pick for the Big Ticket Kevin Garnett.
Garnett makes 21 million this year.
Combined the aformention only make 10.7.
the addition of Malik Rose & Jerome James would make this work perfectly or even the addition of Steve Francis. and you would think Minny would throw in someone the likes of Rashad McCants or the closely waived Eddie Griffin. Heres what both scenarios would like.
New York
Eddy Curry/Kalvin Cato
Kevin Garnett/David Lee
Jared Jeffries/Renaldo Balkman
Quentin Richardson/Rashad McCants
Stephon Marbury/Steve Francis/Mardy Collins
Mark Blount/Eddie Griffin/Jerome James
Channing Frye/Craig Smith/Mark Madsen/Malik Rose
Ricky Davis/Trenton Hassell/Justin Reed
Jamal Crawford/Randy Foye/Bracey Wright
Mike James/Nate Robinson/Troy Hudson/Marco Jaric
and theyd probably waive Eddie Griffin after a Jaric/Mohammed trade.
New York
Eddy Curry/Kalvin Cato/Jerome James

Ricky Davis/Trenton Hassell/Justin Reed
Jamal Crawford/Randy Foye/Bracey Wright
Steve Francis/Mike James/Nate Robinson/Troy Hudson/Marco Jaric
who knows what theyll accept or even if it will happen but id hope for the first one where we give up James and Rose. what do you all think?
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
It'll give Minnesota the weakest frontcourt in NBA history, but I'm cool for this deal since it benefits us.
I wish. I stopped listening to the weekly KG trade reports last year though.
Okay, im gona vent-instead of working as usual.
Ehem; So we all know Minnesota loves KG, and KG gets aggravated when people ask him if he wishes he was on a contender.
Why does McHale continue to hold onto him. Historically, Minnesota and NY havent had good trade relations. Infact, what team does???
Its time they cut him loose. In the west, that team will only tread water until KG blows his knees out and has to retire. Why don't fully commit to a youth movement and nab Frye and Nate.
I'll be honest, out of all our young guys- I only have confidance in Lee & Curry. And I admit, i really really miss Trevor Ariza.
I'll be on Isiha's side if he can land us KG. I also would like him to try to get Allen who is rumored to be availabe.
if minny decides to trade garnett, they are in a rebuilding mode, and frye,jamal,nate, are threee young guys to help the rebuilt.. however as stated, the salaries do not mesh, so we would have to throw in another body.. we have a number of players that we could include to get the deal done... but.. u think they are going to take malik... (big laugh), or jerome.. (bigger laugh), or franchise.. (i'm rolling on the floor)..
i think it's going tobe awful tough to make this trade..
It's funny to me, the daily news says they wouldnt trade Garnett because the wolves are playing well and competing out west...
the infamous post says... it could be onthe Horizon
This is just a rumor but one way or another next season Kevin Garnett will not be a Temberwolf. I've been saying this for two years. NY has as good of a chance as any other team to get Garnett. I'd have more confidence in this trade if we were playing Francis but it is possible. Also keep in mind that Garnett will most likely have to approve this trade. But expect for Minny to ask for Lee and Frye. Ether way if Minny loses Garnett there not going to get a better deal than what the Knicks have to offer.
If we trade both Crawford and Robinson for KG, then we don't have a reliable backup guard. I would love to see Marco Jaric included in the deal as well, but unfortunately I don't think we have the pieces to get either. Those expiring contracts (Jalen Rose and Maurice Taylor) would have come in real handy if Minnesota is looking to rebuild. I just pray to God that the Bulls don't steal him away from us, that would make me very angry.
Giving out our young hope for an old player, no thanks...
Poster formerly known as stephonmarburyny
Huh, Robinson is our young hope? Na! We haven't seen what Collins can do but we do know from his college game that he is a traditional point guard and that's what we need as a back up for Marbury. Speaking of Marbury, my boy's playing D! I want to see him shut down Kid. YEAH!!!!
to be honest, i'm surprised that some of the "superstar" players on subpar/mediocre teams aren't pushing for a trade to ny
ny is the center of basketball...there hasn't been a superior team in ny in a long time (or a superior player). i would think that the better players would be salivating at an opportunity to come to ny and have a chance to be "the guy" who helped put the knicks back on track and perhaps win a championship
i know the players themselves can't publicly ask to be traded to the knicks ... but a player like garnett -- who obviously has earned the respect of the timberwolves organization -- can undoubtedly make his own private endorsement to his GM to come to ny.
i'm not an unrealistic person, and i know how much of a role money plays in making player moves, but it's beginning to get annoying that one of the most important basketball organizations in the NBA cannot land itself a premier superstar

Hi all!
I filed Ch7 in May of this year pro se (couldn't afford the lawyer, but everything was pretty straightforward and I utilized a lot of free legal help). I was told that my case would be eligible for discharge on 7/1, but probably would not be done until 7/8. I opened a chat yesterday with the online bk court rep who confirmed that it was eligible for discharge and that she would have someone look at it today and I could check back Wednesday to make sure that it's complete. Oh happy day!!
I've been reading posts on here for a week or so now to determine my next steps. I'm so glad that I did! You guys have been an unending fountain of helpful information and resources. I didn't realize that I would need to pull my credit reports and check to ensure that the bankruptcy falls off. It seems that the best option is to give it a month or so for creditors to report and then to begin that process. Is that a fair assessment?
So far I have gotten a new car (with a HIGH APR, but necessary due to transportation issue and little children) and I was approved for a Cap1 unsecured this weekend (only $300 but a start!). I applied for a secured card with my employer's credit union. They emailed me at the end of business yesterday to tell me that they've made a decision, but of course they were closed when I called. :-( So I guess I'll find out about that tomorrow.
Another thing I didn't know anything about was NFCU. Thanks so much to you guys for sharing such a wonderful secret! I have to admit that for the past few days I've been kind of bummed because I couldn't think of any family members that would help me qualify but (insert happy dance here) I finally remembered yesterday that my little sister's husband is active duty Army!! Woo-hoo!! She doesn't have an account yet, but I'm going to get her to get one, especially since she filed BK in 2010 and needs to rebuild her credit as well. She had no clue that NFCU was BK-friendly. Looks like her joining will be a win-win for the both of us!
So my plan now is to get the secured card from my employer's CU if I am approved. I'll let that, along with the Cap1 and my car loan, build for a few months before applying for an NFCU card (although I plan on signing up for the account as soon as my sister does). I'll put a small, recurring charge on each card, then PIF each month. I plan to put my cards up for safekeeping at home so that I'm not tempted to use them. Then I'd wait until I'm about a year out and apply for Barclay's. My check to see if I can get a retail card using the shopping cart trick in a few months to diversify the types of credit I'll have, or is this not really necessary?
If anyone has any other tips or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them.
Thank you all for your help!! I think I'm on the right path now! :-)
Update: I didn't get the secured card with my CU because of my bankruptcy and past judgements. I'm wondering if I should apply for the Cap1 secured card (I already have the Cap1 Plat) or just lay low and wait for NFCU?

OK, first off - are your judgements discharged in your BK? You're already discharged, correct?
If you've already got the Cap 1 Plat, even if for just $300 - that's good! Don't take steps backwards and get a secured card through them then. Sign up with NFCU and after 4-5 months of using the Cap 1 wisely and paying it in fulle ach month and having the tradelines report - then apply for a credit card through NFCU.
Your chances of getting approved and at a higher limit are greater - its worth waiting and taking the time to get the higher credit approval versus ending up with multiple cards at $300 limits - it's so tough to get some cards to grow, it's best getting one at a higher limit right off the back.
Grassfeeder, thanks! That sounds like a good plan. And, yes, it was just recently discharged. I contacted the courts and had that verified, but I haven't gotten my actual papers yet. But I don't have any problem sitting and waiting for a better outcome.

Hi All !
I would like to share the study of graphs in graph theory.....
In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection. A "graph" in this context is a collection of "vertices" or "nodes" and a collection of edges that connect pairs of vertices. A graph may be undirected, meaning that there is no distinction between the two vertices associated with each edge, or its edges may be directed from one vertex to another; see graph (mathematics) for more detailed definitions and for other variations in the types of graph that are commonly considered. Graphs are one of the prime objects of study in discrete mathematics.

During their media event, Sony announced that while 'Unreal Tournament 3' will be multi-platform, it will be a "timed exclusive" for the PS3. Meaning that if you want to get in the action this year, you'll only be about to do it on Sony's concole. It won't be out for the Xbox 360 until 2008.
Another small surprise was that any mods people have or create for the PC version of the game will be transferable to the PS3 version as well. But the PC version doesn't come out until 2008 either. So...yeah.

Gilbert syndrome is a congenital hyperbilirubinemia seen in people (inherited as an autosomal dominant trait) and in Southdown sheep. It is an unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the presence of normal erythrocyte life span. A defect in carrier proteins or conjugating enzyme is suspected. Affected Southdown sheep have increased conjugated and unconjugated plasma bilirubin concentrations. Hepatic bilirubin clearance is defective, and affected sheep cannot excrete BSP® into the bile. Icterus is variable. Histopathologic lesions are absent except for pigment in the hepatocytes.
Dubin-Johnson syndrome is seen sporadically in people and Corriedale sheep. It is a failure of conjugated bilirubin to enter the bile canaliculi. Excretion of bilirubin and other conjugated organic anions may be impaired. Affected sheep may be icteric or hyperbilirubinemic. Serum conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin concentrations are increased, and BSP® clearance and bile acid excretion may be delayed in affected Corriedale sheep. Histologically, the hepatocytes contain a black, melanin-like pigment.

10 Serve garnished with coriander leaves.
You can use store bought tomato paste instead of making at home. This will reduce the preparation time.
Cooking time for different vegetables may vary. Add vegetables that take longer to cook first and those which take less time to cook last.
Add water to adjust the consistency of the curry as per your preference.

One young man did time upstate for a crime he says he didn't do. Another waited two years to have a case against him dismissed. Both got involved with a Harlem group that helps court-involved youth prepare for work or college. The program didn't solve all their problems, they say, but it gave them tools to wage their own fights.
Manhattan Parents Press DOE on Middle-School Selection
The effort to compel the DOE to release the information is part of a years' long effort by the Community Education Council of District 2 to turn what is often an opaque, confusing and infuriating process into one of greater fairness and greater transparency, CEC members say.
Lawsuit Claims Charter School Mistreats Special-Ed Kids
The complaint by the parents of five Achievement First students also names the city and state departments of education.
Chancellor Carmen Farina
What's Behind the Bill de Blasio-Eva Moskowitz Feud Over Charters
The mayor says he's trying to find space for charters. The charter pioneer says he isn't. Beyond their conflicting claims is a complicated debate over whether public schools have room, and the role charters are supposed to play there.
Courts Keep School Meetings Closed to Public … For Now
The ruling was more of a technicality than a decision on any substantive issues, noted education activists, who believe they will ultimately prevail.
Advocates Say City Should Expand Free Lunch Faster
They want the city to add more schools to a federal program that provides free lunch to all students. But the DOE may have good reason to move slowly.
Forget Charters, Common Core, Teacher Quality: Advocates Focus on Getting Kids to School
For any school strategy to work, kids have to show up. And one in three children in the South Bronx misses a month of school every year.
Differing Views of Middle-School Admissions Play Out at New Manhattan Facility
Parents know a school is coming to 75 Morton Street. What they don't know is where its students will come from.
New Center Targets the 'Toxic Impact of Poverty' on Students
Some say public schools have failed the poor. Others believe poverty is an obstacle that education alone can't tackle. A new research center seeks to shape NYC's education policy to recognize the way poverty affects young brains.
Mayor's Education Vision Finds Fans
Some saw too much cost. Others not enough charters. But the mayor's education speech did arrange ambitious proposals within a clear agenda of fighting inequality, and some liked what they heard.
City Pressed to Allow Public into School Leadership Team Meetings
DOE is keeping the sessions closed while it appeals a judge's order to open them up.

Vegetable Soup with Quinoa and Barley
Nothing is as warming on a cold winter day as a hearty, healthy bowl of soup! Last week when we were iced in for two days Alexis wanted to make some vegetable soup and this is what came about. It's rich, warm, chunky and oh so filling, all while being healthy. What's not to like? So if you want to chase away the winter blues whip up a pot of this healthy, yet quick soup, and in no time you'll be warm and toasty!
What You'll Need:
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 an onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
4 button mushrooms, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1 - 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes
1 leek, chopped
A pinch of sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1-2 teaspoons of dried oregano
1 cup of frozen corn
1 cup of frozen peas
1/2-1 cup of quinoa
1/2-1 cup of barley
1 quart of broth (Note: You can use vegetable or chicken broth, whichever you prefer. If the soup seems too thick to you add more broth. You'll most likely have to add more broth to left overs as the soup ingredients absorb the liquid the longer it sits.)
3 tablespoons of tomato paste
In a medium sized stock pot sauté vegetables in a little non-stick spray until onions are tender with a pinch of sea salt, some freshly ground black pepper and oregano. Stir in frozen peas, corn, quinoa and barley. Cover the mixture with broth and stir in tomato paste. Bring to a quick boil and the lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes covered or until barley is tender.
Notes: You can add any vegetables you like. Alexis wanted to add some ABC noodles to the mix as well so we did to hers. Garlic would be a nice addition. Soup really is an easy dish to tweak, so add what you like!

The Jobim Songbook in New York
Chesky Records
This is a pleasant album by a tasteful pianist supported by a solid bassist (Nat Reeves) and a skilled drummer (Joe Farnsworth).
That it is not more is due to several unfortunate factors. Currently, Antonio Carlos Jobim's music is some of the most frequently covered by jazz musicians. David Hazeltine not only does an entire album of Jobim's music, he does all the hits: "The Girl from Ipanema," "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars," "Wave," "One Note Samba," etc. They are wonderful songs, and Hazeltine plays them impeccably, with a harmonic subtlety that makes them softly glow. But the extreme conservatism of his approach brings almost nothing new to them. The similarity of gently swaying tempos and Hazeltine's light touch makes this album not just mellow, but bland.
The lack of tension and contrast comes from technical choices as well as artistic ones. The pale, vague sound of Chesky recordings, achieved by using only "one very special microphone," rounds off the corners of this music. The multi-channel SACD version adds some ambience, but still places Hazeltine's trio just out of reach.

Tamra Barney Reveals There Is Not A Chance She's Leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County!
After being the center of all the drama going on this season on The Real Housewives of Orange County and blaming producers on certain scenes (like saying producers made her call Lizzie last minute to tell her she's not coming to her birthday) there were several reports claiming Tamra Barney would not be returning to the Real Housewives next season! BUT Tamra says there is not a chance that's happening!
A viewer tweeted Tamra saying, "I hope those rumors are not true about u not being on next season. You are the BEST sh*t-stirrer around!"
Tamra quickly responded saying, "haha not a chance"
Another viewer chimed in adding, "YES I'm sure she's real happy about being the villain all season & post season geez.."
Tamra replied "I'm happy every time I go to the bank!"
Joy! Another season with Tamra. Truthfully I could never see her leaving the show unless she is fired and I'm sure one day, that will happen! I don't understand why she would be on the show when she has bigger things to worry about like the custody battle for her children against Simon…#justsaying!

If Tamara wants to show a child custody court that she has the best interest in mind, she should want to leave the show. It is sadly apparent that her overwhelming need for attention and fame come before raising her children. I hope Simon takes some reels of her behavior and histrionics in for viewing by the court officials. Thank God he doesn't let them film! (Remember how ticked Tamra was about that.) It is not good for children to see the type of behavior she exhibits.
Let's not forget that even though they weren't filmed, they were there to witness the aftermath of Tamra's antics. MAYBE she should tell her bestie HEATHER to quit reminding us that most of the real drama took place OFF CAMERA and on the TELEPHONE. HMMMM, are you listening Simon?

Tamra is to narcissistic to think of another other than herself. And it appears the money is to tempting to turn down.
However, I don't think Tamra was totally to blame for everything that went down this year. I think Lizzie, Shannon and Vicki did their fare share of shit-stirring.
I'm so over this bitch. When she first came on I liked her. But after past couple seasons she has become this vile person. She's like a snake or disgusting human being! Bitch is not aging gracefully that's for sure.
Gosh we're going to have to keep up with her bullsh every year… yay…
She's on this show for the paycheck. Without she'd be on the welfare line, that would not look too good in her battle for custody
Well this is an epic disappointment
It looks to me that Tamra is starting to take on a mannish appearance, especially in the face. I wonder if it's the testosterone supplements she's taking to try to stay youthful (that's what she thinks anyway)? One would think Eddie would complain, but then again, maybe he prefers a younger manly-looking woman to an older-looking womanly wife. Key emphasis on the Manly part.
Of course she'll never leave the show. She's totally irrelevant if she's not.
oh my lord puuuuulllleeez leave Tamra I wouldn't miss her one little bit she is so awful…..
and it speaks volumes that she is happy every time she goes to the bank even if she earns a pay cheque for destroying peoples lives !!!!!
That hair.
Well, they just lost this viewer. I watch TV for an escape – not to be tortured with that vile witch.
Hahaha she needs the money cuz CUT sucks!
And this is where Bravo loses me. Bravo would fire the cast members that were truly hateful. Danielle, Jill Z, etc…That made me, the viewer, feel like there was some justice in all of this! If they take that away then I just feel like schmuck that helps this loser go to 'the bank' and no can do…Come on Bravo grow a set of balls!!
I think Tamra is a toxic person to the show. I believe she should've been fired instead of Gretchen.
However, the OC duo is Tamra & Vicki… they are the ones that the show revolves around… therefore I doubt she will be fired.
It's almost like Lisa Vanderpump & Kyle Richards on RHOBH… I doubt either of those 2 will ever be fired.
I agree that Gretchen should not have been fired. They should have kept Gretch and not hired Lizzie or her mute side kick.
The fighting between Tamra and Gretchen was 100% pure mean-girl. LOL! And then add Slade to the mix and Vicki's hatred of him and it was solid Housewife gold! 🙂
I cant agree with that, mean girl is not housewife gold, I fast forwarded through all scenes with Tamra and her robot baby, I had zero interest in her made up story line and I know I am not the only one. She is annoying and actually aggravating to watch. Lizzie is interesting and smart, which is why Tamra wants her gone, plus Tamra is almost 20 years older than Lizzie and Tamra has a history of jealousy for any woman she sees as more attractive. She is not entertaining at all, and I am going to say she is mentally ill and it is starting to leak out on TV now. Shannon has a lot more money than Tamra and her Target decor and she is very obviously jealous.
Tamra and the robot baby had nothing to do with Gretch. And of COURSE Tamra is jelly of Lizzie's $$$. duh.
Taco I have no idea what you are talking about, and I was not responding to your post…I usually dont because you dont allow others to have different opinions than yours without making snarky comments to them. However, Lizzie is a very smart person, you dont succeed at school as she has done without being smart. As for her chest size, she was born with what she was born with, I dont comment on the housewives looks usually just their behavior
Lizzie is not smart.
and unless you are a dude into triple D tits she's probably not that interesting either.
But Gretchen did not have a storyline.
Gretchen's storyline is that she is prettier than Tamra. And that Vicki hated slade. It's the same exact storyline that is happening this season. Same day, different players! HA!
Tamra's cockiness is exactly why she should not return. Give her a season off and let her reflect. Stirring the pot should not be a full-time job. People's feelings and families get hurt in the process.
But thing is, this is all a job for all women involved. They know how this thing works. They cannot take anything seriously, if they do, then they shouldn't be on this. Same goes for fans who go overboard and take things personally.
On a roll, Jarlath, saying what I see, or am trying to say!
Exactly Jarlath. And that is the role for which Tamra was made.
Us WOMEN get it. But does Andy?
the answer is yes. he does get it. Andy gets it—and that is why Tamra is queen of the OC. :o)
Tamra is one of those people who was born at the right time in the right place– to really take financial advantage of the age she lives in. She is a natural for reality TV and I doubt she could have been as successful at anything else in life, past present or future.
She's the perfect villain for this show and Bravo would be a FOOL to let her leave.
Cemeteries are full of indispensable people. Especially the RH cemetery of former housewives. Bethenny left NY and the ratings went up.
The ratings are up this year because of the Shannon storyline-something Tamra keeps trying to clamp on to.
I think a season without Tamra would be a good gauge of how important she is. I think there are plenty of interesting people out there that don' have to be so brazen about playing a role.
I never said she was indispensable. I said she is in the right place at the right time and is the perfect villain for reality TV.
What cost does Tamra feel is great enough to play a villain? She has ruined an over 10 years marriage, her own children don't want to live with her, she has no real friends, and she has said some not so nice things about her mother and father. Her third husband, Eddie, doesn't even look like he enjoys being around her.
At some point, Tamara will look in the mirror and realize she isn't playing a villain, she is a villain.
Yes, that's what I mean. She is perfect for this genre because she just doesn't seem to care. In any other place or time she'd likely still be a single mother struggling & trying to sell real estate.
RHOC was a godsend for her, she knows it, and she's not going to let it go without a fight. And that is the reason I believe she is the perfect villain. And that is also why Bravo is not in any rush to let her go.
Good points, Taco!
Great, Bravo is making being a sociopath lucrative. They can milk that cow all they want. It's going to come around.
They already have for most HW! None of us would join a show like this, I'm certain.
You raise good points, she needs the money and will do whatever it takes, i.e., production wants, to bring the drama. But this is a double-edged sword. Because she knows how to play the game, a sense of naturalness is lost and it all becomes too-manufactured. I know it's mostly scripted but the reactions to a large extent are natural. Tamra's behavior doesn't come across at all natural. It's as if she's gotten to the point where she will say and do whatever it takes and hope it sticks in her attempts to produce drama. She needs to rein it in a bit.
Great post, Jarlath! Well said!
No Jarlath, that's what Lizzie is there for. 😉
Tamra's drama is just too sloppy. It's as if she's gotten too comfortable and careless. There's an art to reality TV and if people can see she is doing shit because that's what the producers want and not maintaining the charade that there is some reality, she's going to get the axe.
I agree! She is "sloppy"? i always said cockie! In either case, though entertaining to watch, it will catch up with her!
No she won't because the viewers get it. They get that Tamra is the fourth wall. She's downright Shakespearean.
I would describe Tamra as a team player.
Of course they won't fire you, Tammy. You're too talented, gullible, and a pawn. I like her, btw. She needs to get herself together though!
Three words that do not apply to Tamra in any way are "talented, gullible and pawn".
I thought this forum was partial to satire? Ahem.
I respect everyone's opinions, but Tamra has no talent. A woman that lies to pin people against each other isn't called talent it's called pathological liar, especially when tamra sits back and enjoys the trouble she's caused then tries to play victim.
I don't know who could possibly think that's entertaining because it's not entertaining. It's disgusting!
Tamra is delusional to think people love to watch her start trouble and when caught plays the victim!
Let's think about this for minute tamra is out there that even though she's fighting for custody of her kids she still behaves this pathetic way!
Does Tamra honesty think the judge doesn't watch this show, or may ask for footage to see what type of character this woman has!!
Bravo please get new hws this world has enough vile in it, and Tamra being so vile makes it very hard to watch this show!!
This woman needs to get her anger in check she has a serious anger problem!!
Tamra said herself in one episode to Eddie she said something a long the lines of that's how I am when I'm angry I raise my voice etc.
Tamra is so embarrasseing to watch when she's shouting fu at the drop of a hat when she's called out on her behavior!!
The vast number of celebratory comments that flooded social media about her firing was the sweetest public bitch slap that could have happened to her. It was FANTASTIC! Someday, she will get fired for real. I can't wait to witness another collective round to glorify her embarrassing demise.
I think if Bravo wants to have a successful drama filled show they need the Real Housewife Villians show and have Tamra & Heather, Kenya &Nene, Lisa & Brandi, Adrienne & JoAnna and Ramona & Aviva all live in a house and have competitions where they compete against each other and get voted off each week.
Your idea sounds much better than me watching this season of Big Brother!!
Bravo loves tamra the villain let's be honest if they fired her they would probably think it's boring
this woman is deranged. I like a crazy housewife to watch but this womans life revolves around RHOC and nothing more. She's more delusional than Teresa G.
Yes and she consistently screws all of her "friends," over. I wonder how happy Heather is, now that everyone hates her and is calling her filthy names (not that she ever was the most likeable person on the show), on nearly every blog I've read?
Tamra might want to take a seat. She can not film with her kids and her husband barely speaks a word. So, how in the world does she even qualify to film as a housewife? That IS what the show is supposed to be about. Surely, Bravo can find a better replacement with a housewife who films with their kids and husband and can bring more to the show than just being a jilted beeotch.
I am completely over her, she's BORING. All of her drama is manufactured and fake, there's not a like-able bone in her body, and she has no one to film with besides the other ladies.
YAWN, Tamra. You're 15 seconds are up.
*your 🙂
For a few season now, Tamra has proved she's a horrible person to be around and probably one of the most amazing housewife of the franchise bringing the drama each and every season.
Tamra is under the false impression that money is what people dislike about her. Maybe that's her priority and what she consideres happy but I'm with you, she should prioritize and put her children first, for once.

During the past several years, the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning has been well-served by a generous, thoughtful, and dedicated group of faculty and staff who comprise the Advisory Group to the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning.
Not unlike advisory boards with which you may be familiar, the FCTL Advisory Group's charge is to "help guide the relevance, effectiveness, and direction of the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning." But unlike some advisory boards, ours is comprised of volunteers. And lots of them! Since 2006, 69 faculty and 2 staff members from 7 colleges, FLITE, and the Retention and Student Success area have played an invaluable role in the work of the Faculty Center.
This model of a larger Advisory Group has two important benefits, including:
That is to say, we don't expect every member to necessarily respond to our every need or question. But if time and interest permit, we value your input! With such a large group, in nearly every instance in the past of a request for input, guidance, etc., there has been a "critical mass" of members who have contributed their time and perspectives.
The FCTL staff invite you to join our Advisory Group. Should you choose to do this, our one expectation is that you serve for two years (you're always welcome to serve additional two-year terms!). Thank you for your consideration of this invitation. Please contact email: email@example.com to join the Advisory Group. If you have any questions, please contact Todd Stanislav by email at: firstname.lastname@example.com or at ext. 3541.

You Can Now 'Steal' Colors On Your iPad As Color Thief Has Gone Universal
Color Thief has just become an even bigger hue-stealer. That is, the photo editing app that's formerly optimized for iPhone and iPod touch only has just been made natively compatible with iPad as well. Developed by Yellow Cedar Software, whose first project was helping to bring the hit indie game Osmos to iOS, Color Thief is a photography app that does only one thing but does it well. Color Thief is so named because it lets you transfer colors from one photo to another. In particular, it allows you to apply the hue or tone of one photo to another and vice versa. [caption id="attachment_375575" align="aligncenter" width="270"] Color Thief[/caption] The app comes with a few photos from which you can "pilfer" colors. But a nice thing about Color Thief is that it allows you to use your own photos as color filters. Another is that it lets you save your filtered creations without any degradation in their original resolution. Oh, and applying colors between photos is as easy as toggling a little arrow button at the center of the screen. But there are also other buttons in the app, which let you: see photos in full screen, load photos from your camera roll, take a new photo right within the app, and share your results via Facebook, Twitter, email, and other apps. Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.1 or later, Color Thief is available in the App Store for $1.99. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]

Comment on xPad
by yerfspd, 9 years and 198 days ago (score: 2)
Great app overall but could be a whole lot more if you could use modern toolbar search box searching so that all of the documents in xPad's database could be searched at once. The old Find and Replace dialog is great for editing not but not quite as much for simple finding. Also, it would be nice to change the highlighting color like you can the font color.

Lucian Freud
February 16, 2008-June 8, 2008
German-born British painter Lucian Freud (b. 1922) is famous around the world for his intimate and revealing portraits and nudes. With his keen eye and highly personal approach, he lays bare the hidden feelings and thoughts of his subjects.
The aim is not to achieve any superficial or flattering likeness, but to reveal the essence of the subject's inner being. The results are impressive and extremely private portraits of vulnerable individuals. The first ever Dutch retrospective of this extraordinary and unconventional artist opens on 16 February at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. It runs until 8 June 2008.
Freud, grandson of psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, was born in Berlin in 1922. He moved with his parents to London in the 1930s and in 1939 acquired British nationality. Following his training in London and East Anglia, he quickly became friends with Francis Bacon, with whom he was to be one of the founders of the "London School."
In 1954, together with Bacon and Ben Nicholson, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. Ever since then, he has been regarded as one of Britain's greatest living artists.
Through into the 1950s, Freud worked in a flat, schematic style that seemed to leave little room for personal interpretation. In the late 1950s, however, he abandoned his precious sable brushes in favour of broader hog's hair ones and started to work on his feet rather than sitting down. The change had a major impact on his style: his work became looser, with a heavier impasto, more voluptuous models and more use of light and shadow. He uses this highly distinctive new style to depict his models in merciless detail. His view of the world leaves no room for sentimentality or embarrassment. Sagging bellies, wrinkles, bags under the eyes, double chins and folds — nothing about his models escapes him. Yet his pictures are by no means a mechanical reproduction of what he sees before him; they are autonomous works of art created not with the aim of achieving a mere likeness, but rather to create a portrait of what the subject actually is. And Freud is merciless not just to other people, but also to himself. When he heard that two of his incisors would have to go, he immediately started planning a "self portrait without front teeth."
Freud briefly studied at the Central School of Art in London then, with greater success, at Cedric Morris's East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Dedham, and also at Goldsmiths College — University of London from 1942-3. Thereafter, he served as a merchant seaman in an Atlantic convoy in 1941 before being invalided out of service in 1942. Freud's first solo exhibition, at the Lefevre Gallery in 1944, featured the now-celebrated The Painter's Room. In the summer of 1946, he travelled to Paris before continuing to Italy for several months. Since then he has lived and worked in London.
Freud's early paintings are often associated with surrealism and depict people and plants in unusual juxtapositions. These works are usually painted with quite thin paint, but from the 1950s he began to paint portraits, often nudes, to the almost complete exclusion of everything else, and began to use a thicker impasto. With this technique he would often clean his brush after each stroke. The colours in these paintings are typically muted. Often Freud's portraits just depict the sitter, sometimes sprawled naked on the floor or on a bed, but sometimes the sitter is juxtaposed with something else, as in Girl With a White Dog and Naked Man With Rat. Freud's subjects are often the people in his life; friends, family, fellow painters, lovers, children. To quote the artist: "The subject matter is autobiographical, it's all to do with hope and memory and sensuality and involvement, really."
"I paint people," Freud has said, "not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be." Freud has painted a number of fellow artists, including Frank Auerbach and Francis Bacon. He produced a series of portraits of the performance artist Leigh Bowery, and also painted Henrietta Moraes, a muse to many Soho artists.
Freud is one of the best known British artists working in a traditional representational style, and was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1989. According to the Sunday Telegraph of September 1, 2002, he is rumoured to have up to 40 illegitimate children, acknowledging them when they have become adults. After an affair with Lorna Garman, he went on to marry her niece Kitty (daughter of sculptor Jacob Epstein and socialite Kathleen Garman) in 1948, but the marriage ended after four years when he began an affair with Lady Caroline Blackwood, a society girl and writer. They married in 1957. He has children by Jacquetta Lampson, daughter of the first Baron Killearn, and by Bernardine Coverley (fashion designer Bella Freud and writer Esther Freud), Suzy Boyt (5 children: Ali, Rose Boyt, Isobel, and Susie Boyt), and Katherine Margaret McAdam (4 children).
His painting After Cezanne, which is notable because of its unusual shape, was bought by the National Gallery of Australia for $7.4 million. The top left section of this painting has been 'grafted' on to the main section below, and closer inspection reveals a horizontal line where these two sections were joined.
Lucian Freud served as a visiting tutor at the Slade School of Fine Art (1949-54), University College, London.
Although internationally acknowledged as one of the most important artists working today, there have been few opportunities to see Lucian Freud's paintings and etchings in Britain. In 1996, Abbot Hall Art Gallery in Kendal mounted a major exhibition of 27 paintings and thirteen etchings, covering the whole period of Freud's working life to date. This was followed most notably by a large retrospective at Tate Britain in 2002. During a period from May 2000 to December 2001, Freud painted Queen Elizabeth II. He was criticised by leading newspapers like The Sun for painting the Queen in an unflattering manner.
Lucian Freud asks a great deal of his models. They have to pose many times, at frequent intervals and for long periods. Because he believes that the subject influences the whole world around them, they have to be present and in the right pose even when Freud is working on a completely different part of the canvas. His subjects are often people close to him: friends, family, fellow-artists, children or lovers. As a result, his portraits and nudes possess an extraordinary intensity. For example, Night Portrait, Face Down, painted in 1999/2000, is an intense depiction of a naked woman slumped on her belly across a bed. She lies with her eyes closed, entirely at the mercy of the artist's gaze.
At a time when abstraction and minimalism reigned supreme, Freud remained faithful to his realistic manner of painting, in which both form and subject were rooted deeply in the classical tradition. His heroes were masters of the past like Chardin, Constable and Frans Hals. It was not until the 1980s, with the revival of interest in figurative painting, that his work began to be internationally appreciated. Around that time, his paintings tended to be increasingly large and therefore monumental. His 1994 portrait Leigh under the Skylight shows a corpulent man seen from a low angle — a classical nude, but big, rough and impressive. The memorable female nude Standing by the Rags, painted in 1988/89 and on loan from the Tate Gallery, will also be on show at the Gemeentemuseum.
The exhibition has been put together by guest curator Catherine Lampert and is being held in collaboration with the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. It will be accompanied by a lavishly illustrated catalogue (price: € 29.95).

Lucian Freud: The Painter's Etchings
December 16, 2007- March 10, 2008
One of the foremost artists working today, Lucian Freud (British, b. Germany, 1922) has redefined portraiture and the nude through his frank scrutiny of the human form. Although best known as a painter, etching is integral to Freud's practice. In a cross-media installation, this exhibition explores the crucial relationship between Freud's etchings and his works on canvas. About 100 works are featured, including 70 etchings juxtaposed with 22 paintings and seven drawings, revealing a dialogue among mediums in his oeuvre. The scope and significance of his achievements in etching are represented, from rare, early experiments of the 1940s to increasingly large and complex compositions made since he rediscovered the medium in the early 1980s.
Not a traditional printmaker, Freud treats the etching plate like a canvas, standing the copper upright on an easel and working slowly over the course of weeks or months to complete his image. He typically depicts the same sitters in etching as in painting (family members and friends), always working directly from models but slightlly adjusting his vantage point applying variously bunched, feathered, and hatched lines to bring individual features into relief. Pared to linear essentials and depicting figures cropped or isolated against empty backgrounds, His etchings achieve a startling sense of tension and formal abstraction.
Curator Starr Figura has been Assistant Curator in the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books since 1996. She first joined the Department in 1993. Among exhibitions that Ms. Figura has organized for are The Compulsive Line: Etching 1900 to Now (2006); Masterworks of German Expressionism (2002); Giorgio Morandi Etchings (2000); Giacometti to Judd: Prints by Sculptors (1998); New Concepts in Printmaking 1: Peter Halley (1997); and Projects 53: Oliver Herring and Leonilson (1996).
The accompanying publication features an essay by Ms. Figura; finely detailed color plates of works from the exhibition; additional comparative materials and text illustrations; and a selected bibliography. The book is distributed to the trade through Distributed Art Publishers (D.A.P.) in the United States and Canada and through Thames + Hudson outside North America. It will be available in December 2007 at MoMA Stores and online at www.momastore.org. Clothbound: 9 x 12 in. (30 x 30.5 cm.); 144 pages; 128 illustrations. Price: $40.
