On my site you will find thousands of top quality Acting-Tips to help you start your career or enhance your career and even make you smile :-)
Understanding Human Body Language - Acting-Tips
We know now from Neuro Science that human beings communicate mostly with their bodies.
In fact statistically it breaks down like this...
So now you can see why body language is so important. These are the most underestimated acting tips of all. Imagine that once again - if we communicate more with our bodies and the tone of our voice than the words themselves. Where should your focus be in a scene...? Keep that in mind.
Everyone speaks with body language, some people slouch, others are stiff, and others have a swing in their step or smile and laugh in a particular way.
What's been your reaction to seeing those things? How does it make you feel? Observe it, catalogue it, make sure you use it. Walk about adopting the body and mannerisms of your new character...
"Gaze Out Like a hawk, Suck In like a hoover". ND
"Watch human beings, suck in their behaviors"
If you can study someone long enough, you can become them. Use the power of your imagination to model people, walk the way they do, sound the way they do, feel the way they do and do it deep - deep inside your neurology.
Always consider "Status" in a scene
Key ingredient to any good acting technique. Most of human interaction can be broken down into the changing nature of status.
During the course of a conversation, a person's status may change from high to low, and back again, depending on the nature of the conversation. Generally people are trying to raise, lower or level someone else's status. Don't take my word for it - listen out for it - hear it - notice it...
Voice Quality
Take note of the quality of your voice. Is it clear and confident or low and quavering? What does that tell you about someone?
Confident, wary, shy, bossy...what? These ideas determine your status in a scene, and establish your position and goals within it.
Acting-Tips - Acting Exercise:
Powerful acting-tips. You and your partner take a card each from a deck of regular playing cards.
Do not share the number you have. Face cards (KQJ) count as 10. Ace is 1.
Begin a scene you are working on. The higher your number, the higher status you should play. Play the scene full out inhabiting the number you chose.
Once the scene is finished, compare numbers to see how accurate you have been.
I use this all the time, it was taught to me by director Max Stafford-Clark. Get stuck? This will loosen you up instantly...If you need more acting-tips, then try this tape set for use in scene study, it allows your inner mind to come up with all kinds of amazing solutions and expands your skills.
Using Movies
Watching a few of your favorite movies can give you pointers to perfect your acting skills. Model the actors you like, what do they do, how do they move, step into their bodies and model and become them. Keep watching and studying the more you learn, the more you'll earn, that's great acting-tips for you. If you are beginning acting click here.
Here's a great page about acting for the camera, you can learn about off-camera acting as well right here - make sure you give yourself all the information you need to support yourself on set. Be prepared. Understand about camera set ups here and are you confused by all that on-set jargon - get clear now.

Keeping cool with back porch drinks is a great way to spend a summer afternoon.
Frosty drinks can be made using fresh fruit, with or without sugar and with or without alcohol.
Cindy Sheets, owner of Cherish Texas Studios, said a family favorite is Summertime Tea, which uses fruit juices and sugar.
The ingredients go together quickly, and the tea is very refreshing, she said.
"As hot as it's been and it makes so much, you can put it in the refrigerator - a chilled, icy drink waiting for you in the refrigerator," Sheets said.
Ricky Connelly, cashier and cook at Jackson Square Fountain and Grill, said cherry limeade was added for summer after a new employee demonstrated how to make it.
The grill's regular cool offerings include shakes and raspberry tea, he said.
Connelly explained how to make a cherry limeade at home:
Slice limes into a cup, pour over cherry juice to taste, stir in Sprite and pour it all over ice.
Thirsty customers are slurping up shakes and smoothies at Cold Stone Creamery. The company rolled out nine ice cream milkshakes and eight smoothies this month to celebrate National Ice Cream Month.
"We have done phenomenal with it in Amarillo since we rolled it out," said general manager Corey Womack.
Winning the sales race among smoothies is the Citrus Sunsation, a concoction of sorbet, pineapple, lemon juice and orange juice.
Among the ice cream shakes, Lotta Caramel Latte takes the cake.
"Sales have definitely come up since it's been a lot hotter," Womack said.
This is Cold Stone's first summer in Amarillo, but Lubbock stores are also reporting higher sales due to heat, he said.
"Our shakes and our smoothies have increased tremendously since we promoted the new drinks," Womack said.

With Stacey gone, UCH works to fill loss in 'social capital'
- published_in
- Print Edition
It's been nearly six months since the move and the consensus now seems to be that the loss of Stacey — not to mention the headquarters of one of the region's two health systems — has not meant a notable economic hit, in large part because many of the jobs that had been here remain here.
On the other hand, according to CSU economist Martin Shields, the loss has been in "social capital."
As CEO of Poudre Valley Health System, Stacey had a reputation in the community and within PVHS for creating an energetic environment. He emphasized a team-based culture that was "hard-wired" into the organization, in the words of Poudre Valley Hospital CEO Kevin Unger.
Stacey joined PVHS in 1996 as the fifth CEO in four years. During his tenure with the organization, he gained a great deal of respect from employees and community members alike.
Shields said the impact of the relocation is noticeable in a variety of subtle changes.
What is at greatest risk is the relocation of talent, potential for reduced commitment to community and a reduced ability to assist other, related businesses, Shields said.
"Rulon was a unique personality in Northern Colorado," Shields said. "He was heavily involved in many aspects of the community."
To an extent, Shields said, "other people within the organization will fill that role."
In fact, Unger and his counterpart at Medical Center of the Rockies, George Hayes, have had to step up in some ways to fill Stacey's shoes since he became president of UCH in the spring.
Stacey still makes routine trips to Northern Colorado, Unger said, but his focus is now on the UCH system as a whole rather than just what was formerly PVHS, now referred to as UCH's Northern Region.
UCH stretches along the Front Range from Colorado Springs to southern Wyoming, creating a much larger footprint for Stacey to oversee.
In an effort to fill the void in Northern Colorado, Unger and Hayes have picked up a few responsibilities, particularly in the realm of strategic planning, in addition to their duties running day-to-day operations at their respective hospitals.
For example, one or the other will fill in if Stacey is unable to meet with a medical practice considering joining UCH's Colorado Health Medical Group, formerly called Poudre Valley Medical Group.
Unger and Hayes also do what you'd expect from a hospital CEO.
They regularly meet with physicians, ensure their respective hospitals stay on target operationally and work to keep both facilities on pace with the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide, the benchmark that the system uses.
The goal of all of this is to continue improving their businesses while assuming some of the community relations duties that Stacey filled.
Prior to the creation of the joint operating agreement that formed UCH last January, PVHS was a locally-based health system with two hospitals and numerous clinics.
It still employs more than 5,000 people but the company HQ is now in Denver.
Despite the shift, Unger doesn't think there has been an impact on the local feel of the organization.
"Health care is still a locally provided business," Unger said. "We still have local facilities here serving patients."
Stephen Weiler, an economics professor and research associate dean, agreed, saying that because the system maintained its physical footprint and has retained most employees, the impact on the local economy isn't equivalent to having a company pull up stakes.
Health care is a regional business, Weiler explained, so relocating a health care company's headquarters has less of an impact than moving the leadership of an "exporter" like New Belgium Brewing or Advanced Energy.
What's more, he said, is the significance of the Northern Region's connections to the research and development that occur at what was formerly called University of Colorado Hospital.
As its name suggests, UCH is integrated with the medical school at the University of Colorado, which means that PVH and MCR are now both directly linked to high-level medical research.
That linkage is significant enough that it "more than outweighs" any losses the community suffered when the system's headquarters moved to Denver, Weiler said.
The relationship with the CU medical school helps with many facets of the health system, Unger said, from new research and access to specialists to improvements in day-to-day operations like electronic medical records.
Shields agreed, forecasting that the association would lead to improved quality of care and would "change the dynamics of the hospitals."
But what of Stacey's other roles, especially the community engagement piece?
Unger, for one, sits on six boards in the community, including the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce and Northern Colorado Economic Development Corp.
Maintaining that visibility allows for communication and feedback, he said.
"That input helps chart our direction forward," he said.
It also keeps the new UCH front and center in Northern Colorado minds.

"Since January, we have sponsored over 60 cigar events across the United States," says company president Kaizad Hansotia. "We would have done more, but the retailer response was so positive, we had to make sure we did not run out of product."
Ancient Warrior is more affordable than Beach Cigar Group's Gurkha line, making it more accessible to fine cigar lovers. The new line is available in four shapes: 4 1/2 x 52 Robusto ($5.80 suggested retail), 7 x 50 Churchill ($6.50), 6 x 54 Torpedo ($6.90), and 6 x 60 Emperor ($7.80).
"The cigar has a beautiful dark, silky Brazilian wrapper," says Hansotia, "which is combined with a Costa Rican binder, and Dominican filler." It is a medium-bodied cigar, with a "pleasant but not overpowering spiciness."
Beach Cigar Group, Miami, Fla., Tel: (305) 593-2254, Fax: (305) 593-2256, Web: www.gurkhacigars.com.
Like its predecessor, the existing Savoy Natural, the Savoy Maduro is handmade in Nicaragua and is priced to appeal to cigar smokers who are looking for high quality at an affordable price. Described as medium-bodied, Savoy Maduros are available in boxes of 25 cigars, in six traditional sizes, with a suggested retail price of $1.60 to $2.10 per cigar.
Ashton Distributors, Inc., Philadelphia, Penn., Toll-free: (800) 327-4866, Fax: (215) 676-9085, Web: www.ashtoncigar.com.
The line is available in five blends: Full-flavor, Light, Menthol, Vanilla, and Cherry.
Rouseco, Inc. will provide free point-of-sale materials to support the brand, including counter merchandisers, signs, shelf talkers, and other profit-generating items for retailers.
Rouseco, Inc., Kinston, N.C., Toll-free: (888) 372-8622, Fax: (866) 337-7667, Web: www.rousecoinc.com.
El Doble is the first new Rare Corojo frontmark in two years. Measuring 6 x 60, the large-ring frontmark will only be available as part of a special Punch Rare Corojo sampler display. It is offered nationally at a suggested retail price of $7.50 per cigar.
General Cigar's Villazon & Co. unit reintroduced Punch Rare Corojo in 2001 after a shortage of wrapper leaves caused the product to disappear for several years. Since then, the company has continued to cultivate small amounts of the reddish-brown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper used Punch Rare Corojo. Like recent editions, the 2005 release blends Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican filler tobaccos and a Connecticut broadleaf binder.
General Cigar Co., Inc., New York, N.Y., Toll-free: (800) 273-8044, Tel: (212) 448-3800, Web: www.cigarworld.com.
"Our family offers the full spectrum of mild-to-medium bodied cigars, with an equally broad palette of flavors to suit many tastes," says Tora�o. "Now, we have added this cigar - the most powerful in our line - to satisfy seasoned smokers." The cigar, according to the company, is "not for the faint of heart." Virtuoso was originally launched in 1995 as a medium-bodied cigar.
Carlos Tora�o Virtuoso will be available in four shapes: Robusto (4 3/4 x 52), Churchill (7 x 50), Toro (5 1/2 x 56), and Torpedo (6 1/2 x 54). Presentation is in newly-designed boxes of 25. Retail prices had not been announced at press time, but cigars are scheduled to be available in July.
Tora�o Cigars, Miami, Fla., Toll-free: (800) 7-CIGARS, Fax: (305) 661-9083, Web: www.torano.com.
Beginning with the company's flagship Puros Indios brand, each 20-count box of cigars will present 10 cigars each in colorado claro (natural) and double maduro wrappers, separated by a cedar divider. The box art remains the same, but the company adds stickers to the front facing of each box, identifying the left- and right-hand wrapper selections. Puros Indios will continue to sell full boxes for retailer inventory.
"We think retailers will be pleased and grateful when they see the additional shelf space our unique 'split-box' concept gives them," reports director of marketing Carlos Diez. "We have cut the display requirements for our products in half, without changing the size of the box. This is a dramatic improvement."
At present, six of the most popular Puros Indios brand cigars are being changed: Toro, Rothschild, Piramide #3, #1 Especial, #2 Especial, and #4 Especial. Retailers will see the packaging idea extended to all of Puros Indios's cigars.
Puros Indios Cigars, Inc., Miami, Fla., Toll-free: (800) 99-CIGAR, Fax: (305) 649-5154, Web: www.purosindioscigars.com.
The decision to offer Skoal Apple Blend Pouches - which combine rich, premium tobacco with the crisp flavor of apples - builds off of the momentum of last year's successful launch of Skoal Long Cut Apple Blend and the expanding interest in pouch products. Apple is the fourth flavor in the Skoal Pouches line, following the introduction of Skoal Wintergreen Pouches in 2002, Skoal Berry Blend Pouches in 2003, and Skoal Mint Pouches last year.
"Skoal continues to be the innovator - in both flavors and forms - in the moist smokeless tobacco segment," said Dan Butler, executive vice president and general manager at U.S. Smokeless. Consumers who prefer apple flavor now have the option of either long cut or pouches, notes Butler - a benefit when the use of traditional moist snuff is not convenient, "such as in the workplace."
The launch will be supported by direct mail, adult sampling, and point-of-sale. Eye-catching 15-can pre-pack retail displays will offer $1.00 off per can to drive both awareness and trial.
U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co., Greenwich, Conn., Tel: (203) 661-1100, Fax: (203) 622-3626.
The Zino Platinum Grand Master Tubo - a 5 1/2 x 52 robusto - and the Zino Platinum Chubby Tubo - a 41 5/16 x 54 small perfecto - will be packaged in aluminum tubes with cedar wood inserts. While closed, these tubes will maintain the cigars in perfect condition for several weeks. Scepter Series Tubos offer a blend of specially processed, four-to-five-year-aged filler tobacco from the Dominican Republic and Peru; a Connecticut-grown binder; and a reddish-brown, Ecuador-grown Connecticut seed wrapper.
The successful follow-up to the exclusive Zino Platinum Crown Series line, the Scepter Series was created to focus on smaller shapes and sizes that allow smokers to experience bold, rich flavors without time constraints and without the more aggressive strength of the larger Crown series. Zino Platinum Grand Master Tubos are sold in 20-count boxes for $266 or $13.30 per cigar; Chubby Tubos, also sold in 20-count boxes, are $276 or $13.80 per cigar.
The Scepter Series Tubos are being launched in conjunction with a nationwide promotion, with 500 retailers participating. Under the program, consumers can redeem 15 cigar bands in order to receive a Zino Platinum Scepter Series knife with built-in cigar cutter.
Davidoff of Geneva, Inc., Stamford, Conn., Toll-free: (800) 232-8436.
"What has driven the popularity of CAO flavours," explains CAO vice president Tim Ozgener, "is the high degree of quality and consistency that is found in every CAO flavours cigar." The CAO flavours line features fine quality wrappers, including Cameroon and Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut shade, and mild filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, combined with 100% all-natural flavor extracts. "The result is a premium cigar where the earthy taste of the tobaccos is subtly enhanced by accents of exotic flavors," says Ozgener.
Suggested retail price for the sampler is $14.95.

Total Satisfaction
Zono Sushi and Groupon make quality dishes a bargain
By Erica Wayne 06/26/2014
When Pasadena has such great Japanese restaurants, what could induce me to drive all the way to Glendale for raw fish? Five things: Zono's excellent sushi, their 25th anniversary happy hour menu, the Alex Theatre, the Glendale Center Theatre and, finally, periodic $30 Groupons for which I pay only $16.
About that last, if you're a foodie on a budget I urge you not to overlook the large number of Web sites offering super discounts on restaurant meals. Most of my friends and I are registered with Groupon, Living Social, Amazon Local, Travelzoo, SGV Awards, Blackboard Eats and dineL.A. for deals that keep our wallets (and tummies) fatter than they might be otherwise.
Just about every day, two or three chances to eat great meals at 30 to 50 percent off show up in our emails (along with an equal number of "meh" offers we ignore). And dineL.A. has already alerted me about the next 14-day bonanza of discount dining over the entire Los Angeles Basin with some participating restaurants and some prix fixe menus already listed. Just saying …
And, since sushi is one of my absolute favorite meals and also one of the most expensive, almost every time a restaurant like Japon Bistro or Zono offers a discount online, I buy it! Additionally, when local restaurants of Sushi Roku's quality sign up for Restaurant Week events throughout the year, I'm there. But enough tips about foraging for cheap eats. Let's talk quality.
I've been to Glendale's Zono a number of times. (They also have a branch in Burbank and, alas, closed one on South Lake Avenue in Pasadena last year after a five-year run.) Our first visit was for dinner prior to a big-band "In the Mood" concert at the Alex, a block north of the restaurant (which is located in the Exchange complex that runs between Brand and Maryland Avenues). The second was a pre-show meal before a performance at the Glendale Center Theatre, a bit farther north but still within easy walking distance.
Zono's 25th anniversary happy hour menu bargains are, as I write this, available every day from 3 p.m. until closing. On our maiden visit, a large Kirin draft for a mere $3.25 made my hubby happy. Then it was on to food. Appetizers of shrimp and vegetable tempura and soft shell crab are only $4.50 apiece. Admittedly, we had to divvy up the single shrimp, zucchini, eggplant and sweet potato (there were two green beans), but both dishes were still bargains.
Then it was time for a second Kirin, a house sake ($1.95) and sushi. Four pieces of tuna, ono or yellowtail ($6.99), four of salmon or albacore ($5.99), all generously cut and garnished with frizzled onion, wafer-thin lemon slices or sprinkles of green onion — what a treat. Even Zono's wasabi is decoratively formed into a floret, like butter at some elegant restaurants.
Smaller versions of 13 of Zono's premium rolls are also featured on the anniversary menu. On our second visit, prior to a show at Glendale Center (another bargain), we ordered a four-piece multi-fish rainbow roll and a four-piece caterpillar (eel, cucumber and avocado) roll, each $5.99, plus an eight-piece Arizona "anniversary special" roll (one of nine offered) with blue crab, avocado and cucumber topped with masago (capelin roe) for $7.99. Each creation was stuffed to bursting, as were we once we gobbled them up.
Nevertheless, I couldn't resist ordering a baked hamachi (yellowtail) collar from the regular menu ($11.95), one of the few cooked fish items I crave in sushi restaurants. Like all the other dishes we've tried at Zono, the charred, crispy-skinned, moist-fleshed collar was impressive to look at as well as delicious, possibly the largest I've ever seen, perched majestically on its dish with cilantro sprigs on top and a tasty ponzu dip adjacent.
My latest visit to Zono was for lunch a couple of weeks ago, armed with my newest $30 Groupon. A friend and I each ordered a $15.95 combo which included miso soup, five fat pieces of sushi and a premium roll each. We selected a rainbow roll and a sunset roll with four kinds of fish, crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, gobo (a crunchy black root), kaiware (sprouts) and a coating of masago. Total satisfaction!
If I have to find a complaint about Zono's Glendale location, it's certainly not with either food or service, which is prompt and friendly. The décor, however, is somewhat dated. Dark wood paneling and tables, brown upholstered banquettes and booths, a red Formica sushi bar and extremely low lighting make dining either intimate or claustrophobic, depending on one's mood.
The silent but bright flat-screen TV in the dining area doesn't add to the atmosphere, nor does the poor choice of background music. But the glorious six-part lantern chandelier and the extensive display of red enamel plates in the entryway are both pretty cool.
All in all, my lack of enthusiasm for the restaurant's ambiance is more than compensated for by the quality of its food and its bargain prices. Almost anybody who craves decent sushi should be delighted with Zono's cost-to-quality ratio. There's 90-minute free parking at the Exchange garage (entrance on Maryland Avenue). Before you go, be sure to check out the Web sites mentioned above for discounts.
In closing, happy 25th anniversary to Zono Sushi. Many happy returns to you and your clientele.

|SOW: Kate Uncovers Madeline's Secret; Ju ne 29th issue; article summary
|Tweet Topic Started: Jun 17 2010, 01:52 PM (6,238 Views)

Please link to DR.
Kate and Stefano watch Madeline's incriminating tape and Kate discovers her old pal has an even deeper, darker secret.
'It's big," promises Lauren. "Kate now holds the key that could open up a door that she needs slammed and locked."
Before Kate makes her huge discovery, she and Stefano check out the tape she took from Madeline's safety deposit box. "Viewers are going to see some of it," says Lauren. "At the end of the tape, they'll know exactly what happened. I have to say, for a while, Stefano is almost enjoying what's on the tape, even though it ends a bit horrifyingly. At the beginning, there are some amusing moments. Stefano is enjoying parts of it, and Kate calls him in it."
So, obviously, it's a sex tape? "Of course," chuckles Lauren. "Doesn't everyone have one of those? It's pretty wild. Now, here they are, married, watching it."
After the, er, performance, Stefano gets a call from Madeline, saying she knows Kate broke into her safety deposit box and took everything. Madeline says they can keep the tape, but she wants everything else back. "Stefano agrees," says Lauren. "He feels like this is taken care of. Then he goes to talk to Madeline and threaten her. Stefano leaves Kate to get everything back together and return it to Madeline."
While Kate is gathering up Madeline's stuff, "She starts to go through it in a very casual way and discovers something," recounts Lauren. It's much bigger. "Kate knows immediately this is a life-changing secret. There's no way she can gauge what the ramifications would be, but they would definitely change everybody's lives. Now it's up to her to make the decision: What is she going to do with this knowledge? Is she going to keep the secret or tell Stefano? She doesn't know."
But Kate decides pretty quickly to keep what she's learned from Stefano, at least for now. Lauren says, "Kate's going to have to go to Madeline. They're going to have to talk about this and work this out."
Then, Kate will make her decision about whether to open up to Stefano about the bombshell. "Stefano and Kate are still a mystery," explains Lauren. "You're never quite sure how much they trust each other. I think their bond is getting stronger and stronger. But when this comes up, you'll wonder; where is Kate's allegiance?"

Chad is so a Dimera.
Considering all that state has done, I really don't know what could be so horrifying on the sex tape that they'd go through all this trouble.
Thanks, Angie.
|Jun 17 2010, 02:03 PM Post #4
|So the secret is that Stefano, Kate and Madeline have a sex tape. And the bigger secret that Kate finds out is that Chad was conceived that night. Expected. I'll go with it, I guess.
|Jun 17 2010, 02:04 PM Post #5
|As for the horrifying thing that happens, maybe there was another party involved, maybe another woman or a man, and he was accidentally killed at the hands of Stefano or Kate.
|Jun 17 2010, 02:08 PM Post #6
I guess if they hadn't racked up such a massive number of attempted murders, murders and coverups between them over the years, without any consequences, I'd see why they were so worried about this new one, assuming that's what it is. Oh well. The three of them might be able to make it work.

If Chad was conceived during a sex romp featured on this tape . . .
How old is Chad again?
Sounds like we're going to have to call in our friend Matt to untangle the story's chronology again.
|Jun 17 2010, 02:29 PM Post #8
He isn't old enough to have been conceived on this sex tape, since Kate got out of the call girl business before she had Philip, who's probably in his mid - late 20s, now. That's probably not going to stop them, though.
|Jun 17 2010, 02:48 PM Post #9
Yeah, Chad had to have been conceived after EJ was born in 1997, so it's a safe bet that Chad was conceived when Stefano left Salem in 2001 and then SORASed.
It still sickens me that EJ is twice Will's age even though he was born 15 months AFTER Will.

Ooh, juicy stuff. This story continues to hold my interest.Let's just hope the writers actually know what Madeline's secret is and they're not making it up as they go.
Thanks Angie!
|Jun 17 2010, 04:34 PM Post #11
|The most horrifying part of the story is that Chad is most likely a DiMera.
|Jun 17 2010, 04:47 PM Post #12
|DOOL is always so obvious. Chad will end up being a Dimera.
|Jun 17 2010, 05:07 PM Post #13
And we all know what that means... Grace was Stefano's granddaughter :puke: . Which makes him now intertwined with Rafe cause Rafe was the only father his granddaughter ever knew.
And EJ made don't care comments about her and calling her an orphan when all the time he was speaking of his own neice could you just see him saying the same about Theo, me neither. Hey EJ I guess you didn't mourn her for nothing "crooked halo pushes EJ down kicks him a couple of times in the gut, stops contemplates stopping, and then gets in a few more kicks for good nature."
Hey, :omg: , do you think this means Grace will get another new headstone reading DiMera... please let Grace Rafeala Brady DiMera McCormick Woods DiMera rest in peace.

Knew it was a sex tape.
|Jun 17 2010, 08:14 PM Post #15
Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.
Something tells me Stefano won't give two shits that Rafe knew Grace...if anything, he'll still be pissed that tool tried to illegally adopt one of his heirs. If he bothers to think about Rafe, at all.
I like to think I'm forward thinking and all that...but the idea of a kinky sex tape featuring Stefano, Madeline and Kate sounds pretty horrifying - even before it comes to a horrifying ending.
|Jun 17 2010, 09:55 PM Post #16
Agreed! The thought of seeing/hearing any of this... well, I am not looking forward to that. :shame: Yet, I want to know what the big reveal will be.
|Jun 17 2010, 10:00 PM Post #17
Don't get up. So how are you? What happened, eh? Let me guess, Stefano told you that you could fly,and you jumped off a building. HeHe It's funny right, no I'm sorry Bad EJ, I should'nt be that cruel!
|Days is so predictable, Chad would end up as a dimera, how obvious can it be.

Google Acquires Meebo for a Reported $100M to Boost Google+
Tiffany Kaiser
June 5, 2012 9:28 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: xombit.com)
The details regarding how much Google spent on its Meebo purchase are unclear at this point
In an attempt to increase
Google+'s activity
, Google is acquiring social networking company Meebo for a reported $100 million USD.
Other specific details regarding the acquisition are unclear at this point, but the announcement of the acquisition was made Monday.
"We are always looking for better ways to help users share content and connect with others across the Web, just as they do in real life," said Google in a statement. "With the Meebo team's expertise in social publisher tools, we believe they will be a great fit with the Google Plus team."
Google launched its social network Google+ as an invite-only service back in July 2011. Many believed the new site would challenge Facebook, which long held the title as king of the social networks (and still does).
Google+ grew quickly, obtaining
20 million visitors
by late July. The social network was
opened up to everyone
in September 2011, and today, Google+ has 170 million users total. However, growth isn't really the issue for Google; rather, the amount of user activity seems to be troubling the search giant.
In October 2011, Google+ Vice President of Product Bradley Horowitz discussed Google+'s reception and activity. Many said that the hype for Google+ died off quickly, and people resumed their Facebook/Twitter-related digital lives. But Horowitz said Google+ wasn't meant to be a Facebook or Twitter rival, just a better Google experience. In addition, he mentioned that two-thirds of the
activity on Google+
was private sharing, which is apparently why the site seemed like a ghost town.
Google has since made plenty of advertisements for its social network and tried harder to draw people to it when logging in to their Gmail accounts. Now, Google is taking the next step and purchasing Silicon Valley-based Meebo in an effort to make Google+ a powerful social network with as much activity as Facebook, which has over 900 million active users.
"Together with Google, we're super jazzed to roll up our sleeves and get cracking on even bigger and better ways to help users and website owners alike," said Meebo in a blog post.
Meebo currently has an audience of over 100 million users in the U.S.

As recently as two generations ago, Catholic schools were largely staffed and run by sisters. That time has passed, but several orders still work in education in our diocese, bringing a deeper dimension of spirituality and a unique perspective on living our faith to the students who are blessed by them.
LIMA, PERU (CNA/EWTN News) -- The face of the first saint of the New World may be better known than ever, thanks to a team of scientists that has analyzed the skull of Saint Rose of Lima.
WASHINGTON -- When Pope Francis approaches the Catholic Charities building in downtown Washington during his U.S. visit in September, he will encounter a "homeless person" covered in a blanket laying on a park bench.
PITTSBURGH (CNA/EWTN News) -- Nestled in a sleepy neighborhood in the hills rising over Pittsburgh lies a small chapel. Inside St. Anthony's Chapel lies a piece from the Crown of Thorns, a tooth of St. Anthony of Padua, and more than 5,000 other verified relics, or remains, of saints from around the world.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- More than a month before Pope Francis was scheduled to arrive in the United States, his ride landed on U.S. shores.

Evans Mills Man Saves 15 Month Old Girl
State Police in Watertown are thanking an Evans Mills man for saving a 15 month old girl on Saturday in Felts Mills.
Just before noon, Kevin S. Woodard of Evans Mills was on his way to return cans to a redemption center on State Route 3, when he saw a young girl fall into a pool in a nearby yard.
Not seeing anyone else around, Woodard ran, jumped the fence, entered the pool, and pulled the girl out of the water, unharmed.

Where I stayed
hostel international
Xaraga Camp
The next morning, bright and early we headed to the Skeleton Coast. The Skelton Coast (sounds scary doesn't it!!!) is a 200 km long strip of land that is supposed to be one of the most inhospitable places on the planet due to its lack of rainfall (rainfall rarely exceeds 10mm annually)
The scenery was absolutely amazing, something like you would imagine on another planet and it was as bleak as it was beautiful, definately didn't fancy having a breakdown there (the car, not me!!). Before we entered the park itself we saw springbok, oryx and jackals but once in the park there was nothing apart from sand, sand and a bit more sand. It was a weird experience, especially seeing the wrecks on the coast and the oil rig wreck that was bizarrely about 200m inland.
We had another stop at the Cape Cross Seal sanctuary, where there were literally thousands of the beasts. You could actually smell them before you could see them but to see so many seals in their natural environment was just amazing. I was secretly hoping a great white shark or a killer whale would turn up and give us a hunting show but it didn't happen.
Another couple of hours later we arrived in Swakopmund where after about an hour we found our accomodation (they had changed the street names), which was a hostel where camping cost us 3 pounds a night....bargain!!
Stayed around for a couple of days doing a few jobs and a bit of shopping, we also had to get the bull bar on the car fixed as two bolts had come off somehow. There is a lovely beach here but the water is freezing (it is the Atlantic) and altough it is about 30oC, it feels cold due to the wind.

|Glowshift or SunPro tach for 3 cyl 1.0; eBay Glowshift tach broken
|Tweet Topic Started: Feb 1 2009, 10:46 PM (5,300 Views)

Facetious Educated Donkey
I wanted a tach for the Wife's '96 Geo Metro, 3 cyl. 1.0. Glowshift and Sunpro offer tachs for 3 cylinders.
I bought a 7 color Glowshift tach for $50 off eBay from Glowshift.com (aka TheNeonEdge.com.) The gauge was not in the display package properly, slightly askew. I had to wait 5 days to install it and trusting it would be OK I did a really nice installation. Had to drill the base to install the 18-22 gauge wires. VERY small and SHORT wires. The instructions did not match the pdf file on the web site. I got a tach reading off the brn/blk coil wire and using a switched +12V in an unused socket. It did not work, I emailed Glowshift Support. They said they had no '96 Geo Metro coil wiring instructions. I sent them pictures of the tach running (300 rpm at high idle) and what I did to try to fix it. Now I'm past the 14 day return date. But I don't think the gauge is the isssue. It's Christmas, a 3 day week. I hear from them, another "tech" is working on the problem. New Years, a 3 day week. I sent details of the problem again and what I did to try to fix it. I talked with the supervisor for 30 minustes on the phone. No suggestions. Their Jan. 27 email: "Sorry about the tach if you need any other gauge please feel free to let me know maybe we can work something out. Thank You for everything."
Over the past month I had cut wires, removed stickers from the back of the gauge, drilled a hole in the base and wrote on the instructions. Basicly, I'm screwed for returning the gauge. I'm out $50. If I was able to return it I'd only get $42.50 (plus subtract my shipping). After 14 days?, yep, it's FINAL. I'm out of luck.
Glowshift policies: You must call and inform us of any issues with-in 14 days of delivery of your merchandise. • After 14 days of delivery, all sales are final. • If exchanging or returning: products, they must be returned in the NEW condition with the original boxes, all original materials, and instructions manuals. • Products returned damaged or in unacceptable condition will be returned to the customer without exchange. • All returned, non- defective merchandise carries a minimum restocking fee of 15%.
SUNPRO. I just bought a Sunpro 3-1/2" gauge. The wires are 12 gauge, 3 FEET long and come with splicing clips, they have complete instructions and even instruct you on how to "FUNCTIONAL QUICK CHECK" the gauge BEFORE installing. SO professional. If I need to return it I have to prove purchase and "If possible, return the product in its original package with cables and accessories." They offer out-of-warranty repair. Sweet.
I installed a 5" SunPro tach in my '91 and was getting the Wife some bling for her '96. NOT! I lost $50 on Glowshift. You can try one if you really want the colors but return everything in perfect condition in 14 days if it doesn't work. There's no support advice for our 3 cylinder engines. They won't tell you but TEST any Glowshift gauge before installing. Don't trust it.

|I just bought a tach too for my 1994 Geo Metro 1.0. Its the OLD MODEL SUNPRO CP2012.....the new ones only work for 4,6,8 cyl....the CP2012 works on 2,3,4,5,6,8,10 cyl engines. I installed it and it works great!!!! I got it off ebay for $38 and free shipping. I was surprized to find that is super accurate....on the highway, at exactly 65 MPH, on a level grade I'm turning 3,350-3,400 RPMS.......however "looks at the mullet" when I mentioned my car has high idle problems I was right.....its like 1500-1900 RPMs when its warmed up and when its cold its like 1000-1500 RPMs....what the hell???

Facetious Educated Donkey
You got one of those 4! So did I! Ths guy's in Oregon. OK, tomorrow I have to install it, that's motivating enough. Thanks chad8329.
Incidently I painted the winter wheels of both our cars. Hers are red and mine are yellow except that I have the Hubcap Mike moon disks on and they all but covers the wheels.
That idle thing. When it's cold it thinks it is warm. When it's warm it thinks it is cold. Test the EGR? Vacuum leak? Just replace the hoses.
Cold and thinks it's warm, low air flow and it gives low gas. Some sensor is sending a high temp signal to the ECM.
Warm and the ECM is giving it more gas.
Your OBD doesn't send any code?
I'll try to come up with more.

|I know this is an old thread, but might I suggest that if you want a 3 cyl tach, just buy an instrument cluster off ebay that has the tach and resettable trip. I changed my cluster with one with a tach. I just had to reset the mileage on the odometer, but it looks very factory and is plug and play.

Col. Potter
i like the clean look of a tach cluster... but dosent the odo. go with it.... so when you sell the car you have to re title it as "not actual miles"???
Thats why i like my I-equis tach... it works from 1-12 cyl... of course im thinkin i got to reprogram it.... its saying that im taching out at 71,000... oh well we'll see what happens.

|How did you reset the odometer?

|I put the Glow shift taco in my rocket and I think I still have the instructions. If I can scan it into my laptop, I'll post it here. If I can find this thread. Sometimes it takes a while for me to find these again.

Your Turn: Your Feedback On Shooting & Ice Rink
The 'person of interest' in last week's fatal shooting outside of Watertown is out on bail. Jerry Metheney was wanted for questioning in the death of Shawn Jones, who's described variously as his brother or half-brother. The case is headed to a grand jury.
Here's one of your emails:
All of this is so senseless. My heart goes out the family. It's just so sad.
Due to budget woes, there's a proposal to close the ice rink inside the Richard A. Lockwood arena in Ogdensburg.
This is what some of you had to say:
Do not close the Lockwood ice center. Get creative and run more programs within it to offset the expenses.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General DescriptionA medium-sized moth (3.6-3.8 cm wingspan) with powdery grey forewings with black markings and dirty white hindwings. There is a prominent black basal streak that extends just through the antemedian line. The antemedian line is oblique, angled distad toward the lower margin, and is doubled and filled with lighter grey scales. The postmedian line curves outward on the upper half, and is crossed by a fine black streak in the anal angle. The orbicular spot is round, light grey and partially outlined in black scales. The reniform is less clearly defined, and is also partially outlined in black scales. The hindwings are dirty white, darkening toward the outer margin. Sexes are similar, with females having more dark scaling on the hindwings. Very similar to the much commoner Grey Dagger-moth (A. grisea), which is slightly broader-winged and smaller-bodied. The best character for separating radcliffei and grisea is the postmedian line; in radcliffei it runs straight to the margin, whereas in grisea it angles sharply distad and then basad at the lower margin.

McIlroy, Woods Start Their Road to the Masters
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – This is not the rivalry anyone had in mind when Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy began the year.
They made their debut in Abu Dhabi last month and both missed the cut. The next time they played in the same tournament was last week in the Match Play Championship, and both were eliminated in the first round.
The difference is that Woods returned to Torrey Pines the week after missing the cut. He left little reason for anyone to doubt his game when he built a lead that reached eight shots until the day dragged on and he won by four for his 75th career win on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy knew starting the year there would attention on his change from Titleist to Nike, and it only intensified with two bad results.
But the start of the Florida swing is no time to panic, and McIlroy sure didn't sound worried at the Honda Classic.
"It's fine," he said. "I knew coming into (the year) it was going to be a bit of a process and I knew there was going to be comments if it didn't happen for me right away," McIlroy said. "I'm only two tournaments into the season. I've still 20 to go. So it's not like I'm in any rush. It's not like I'm pushing for answers. Everything is there. It's just a matter of putting it all together."
McIlroy put it together much sooner a year ago.
He was runner-up in Abu Dhabi, tied for fifth in Dubai, lost in the final of the Match Play Championship and then won the Honda Classic, making one clutch par save after another to hold off a late rally by Woods. McIlroy went to No. 1 by winning at PGA National, and he has been atop the world ranking since winning the PGA Championship.
How much longer he stays there depends on his game – and that of Woods, who is No. 2 and making up ground.
They are the featured players as the Florida swing gets under way Thursday in the Honda Classic, a tournament that has been rejuvenated in recent years with a couple of significant moves. One was the site of the tournament to PGA National, which has hosted a PGA Championship and a Ryder Cup and makes for good television with so much water in play over the closing holes.
The other was a vast improvement in the neighborhood. Woods moved to nearby Jupiter Island, while McIlroy, Lee Westwood and former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel are located at Old Palm just down the road. Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, Dustin Johnson and others also have moved to south Florida.
It turned out to be the right recipe to get a good field, though Woods and McIlroy are at the top of the list, especially with the Masters getting closer.
McIlroy is playing three times before he gets to the Masters – PGA National and Doral in back-to-back weeks, and then a two-week break before he plays the Houston Open.
Whether the Florida swing starts with the Honda Classic or Doral, as it once did, the feel of that warm, tropical breeze, palm trees, white bunkers and blue water hazards signal the first step toward the first major of the year. Only 34 players in the 144-man field are currently in the Masters.
The Honda Classic has five of the top 10 players in the world, including Westwood, Louis Oosthuizen and Justin Rose.
Not all the focus is on the road to the Masters. A divisive issue hanging over golf is the proposed rule that would ban anchored strokes used with long putters. The PGA Tour said last week it was opposed to the plan. Woods was among those who said the club should be swung freely, without being anchored to the body, and he stood by that.
"Hopefully, we don't have to bifurcate or adapt a local rule like we sometimes out here on tour with stones and bunkers and things of that nature," Woods said. "Hopefully, we won't have to do that with our putter."

Barack Obama standing in a long tradition:
What does Barack Obama have in common with Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Nicolas Trist – secretary to President Andrew Jackson have in common with ? They all stood against the Banking industry abuses.
Sometimes you must judge a man by his enemies, The banking industry, the medical insurance industry, Wall street, Regulation reform (imagine including expand opportunities for public participation and public comment), Supreme Court decision Citizens United....... A vote against Obama is a vote for -- The banking industry, the medical insurance industry, Wall street, anti-Regulation , Supreme Court decision Citizens United.... the list goes on.
Also: let 's see how the republican pro business supreme court decides this case:
There would be serious implications for manufacturers and online giants like Craigslist and eBay were SCOTUS to uphold the ruling. Firstly, it would become an incentive to manufacture overseas so that all resales could then be controlled and charged for by the copyright holder. Secondly, the entire of eBay and Craigslist's business would be jeopardized. And this decision would result in more jobs going out of the USA.
Think you vote does not count??????

The American people expect reliable service from their Government and deserve the confidence that critical government functions dependent on electronic systems will be performed accurately and in a timely manner. Because of a design feature in many electronic systems, a large number of activities in the public and private sectors could be at risk beginning in the year 2000. Some computer systems and other electronic devices will misinterpret the year "00" as 1900, rather than 2000. Unless appropriate action is taken, this flaw, known as the "Y2K problem," can cause systems that support those functions to compute erroneously or simply not run. Minimizing the Y2K problem will require a major technological and managerial effort, and it is critical that the United States Government do its part in addressing this challenge.
Accordingly, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1.
(1) assure that no critical Federal program experiences disruption because of the Y2K problem;
(2) assist and cooperate with State, local, and tribal governments to address the Y2K problem where those governments depend on Federal information or information technology or the Federal Government is dependent on those governments to perform critical missions;
(3) cooperate with the private sector operators of critical national and local systems, including the banking and financial system, the telecommunications system, the public health system, the transportation system, and the electric power generation system, in addressing the Y2K problem; and
(4) communicate with their foreign counterparts to raise awareness of and generate cooperative international arrangements to address the Y2K problem.
(b) As used in this order, "agency" and "agencies" refer to Federal agencies that are not in the judicial or legislative branches.
Sec. 2.
(a) The Council shall be led by a Chair who shall be an Assistant to the President, and it shall be composed of one representative from each of the executive departments and from such other Federal agencies as may be determined by the Chair of the Council (the "Chair").
(b) The Chair shall appoint a Vice Chair and assign other responsibilities for operations of the council as he or she deems necessary.
(c) The Chair shall oversee the activities of agencies to assure that their systems operate smoothly through the year 2000, act as chief spokesperson on this issue for the executive branch in national and international fora, provide policy coordination of executive branch activities with State, local, and tribal governments on the Y2K problem, and promote appropriate Federal roles with respect to private sector activities in this area.
(d) The Chair and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall report jointly at least quarterly to me on the progress of agencies in addressing the Y2K problem.
(e) The Chair shall identify such resources from agencies as the Chair deems necessary for the implementation of the policies set out in this order, consistent with applicable law.
Sec. 3.
(1) assure that efforts to address the Y2K problem receive the highest priority attention in the agency and that the policies established in this order are carried out; and
(2) cooperate to the fullest extent with the Chair by making available such information, support, and assistance, including personnel, as the Chair may request to support the accomplishment of the tasks assigned herein, consistent with applicable law.
(b) The heads of executive departments and the agencies designated by the Chair under section 2(a) of this order shall identify a responsible official to represent the head of the executive department or agency on the Council with sufficient authority and experience to commit agency resources to address the Y2K problem.
Sec. 4.
Sec. 5.
