Californication - Season 4 Episodes
Californication - Season 4
He couldn't be more screwed. David Duchovny is back in the smart, wild and sexy Showtime hit comedy series CALIFORNICATION - and it's going to be the most scandalicious season yet. A one-night misunderstanding has landed Hank Moody in serious hot water, but his troubles don't end there. It seems like it's the entire State of California vs. Hank Moody, and he's not going to get off easy.
"Exile On Main St."
Season 4 picks up about 72 hours from where Season 3 left off –- with Hank Moody sitting in a jail cell – but the gossip blogs are already buzzing with news of the Hollywood's latest Lolita literary sex scandal. Hank's most damaging secret is a secret no more. When Charlie finally bails Hank out, he has to break the news that he's been exiled from Karen and daughter Becca.
Hank has a meeting with alluring attorney Abby Rhoads (CARLA GUGINO), who against her better judgment agrees to represent Hank. Then it's on to the UTK Agency to discuss turning the novel at the center of the scandal into a movie. In addition to a director (JONATHAN KASDAN) and veteran producer (STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY), the stolen Hank Moody novel has also attracted the attention of young Hollywood starlet Sasha Bingham (ADDISON TIMLIN), whose interest in playing the Mia role is soon intensified by her own interest in Hank Moody.
"Suicide Solution"
Houseguest Hank Moody is literally starting to make Marcy sick, especially after she wakes up in bed with him. Hank and the dirty black Porsche need a jumpstart from a less-than-thrilled Karen making him even later for his meeting with attorney Abby (CARLA GUGINO), who is already beginning to question Hank's commitment to (and her involvement in) Hank's case. Later, Hank and Becca's trip to a guitar shop run by Zakk Wylde does little to bridge the father-daughter rift.
Charlie takes Hank to meet with starlet Sasha Bingham (ADDISON TIMLIN) and imbalanced Oscar-winning actor Eddie Nero (ROB LOWE), who might play the Hank role for the upcoming movie, but the meeting ends with Hank hiding in Sasha's hotel bathroom. Back at Runkle Haus, Hank self-medicates and sets out to write an apology letter to Becca, but the sleeping pills and booze have a devastating effect and Hank never finishes the letter…
"Home Sweet Home"
Hank wakes up in the hospital after his accidental overdose. Not only is a cynical doctor (JOSH GAD) at his side, but Karen (who invites him home, making Hank wonder if he's really died and gone to heaven. Mia (MADELINE ZIMA) comes by the house to apologize to Hank where she is confronted first by Karen, and then Becca. After being robbed by four teenage misfits, led by Pearl (ZOË KRAVITZ), Becca is invited to join their band, The Queens of Dogtown. Meanwhile, Hank has realized that Karen is only acting so nice because she thinks he's suicidal, but how long will Becca allow him to keep the truth from her mother?
Charlie tells Hank that he's got to get working on the F&P script, as Producer Stu Beggs (STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY) is getting antsy. So antsy, in fact, that he drives over to the Runkle Residence to confront Charlie, but instead meets Marcy, who is oddly intrigued by the man in the Maserati. After securing permission to pursue Marcy, Stu hooks Charlie up with promiscuous D-Girl Heather (CAMILLE CHEN), as Charlie embarks to sleep with 100 women.
"Monkey Business"
Hank Moody is notified by his attorney Abby (CARLA GUGINO) that he will be going to trial for statutory rape. But not before Hank hands the completed F&P script to Charlie, who promptly drags him to a meeting with the Director (JONATHAN KASDAN), producer Stu Beggs (STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY) and eccentric financier Zig Samitaur (FISHER STEVENS), setting off a chain of events that leads to Hank and Charlie having to explain why there's a dead billionaire in the bathroom.
While Becca, Pearl (ZOË KRAVITZ), and the Queens of Dogtown rehearse at the Runkle House, Karen helps Marcy realize that she may actually be pregnant, and the two buy a pregnancy test to be sure. When they arrive back at the house, Karen hits it off with bohemian artist Ben (MICHAEL EALY), Pearl's father, making the exiled Hank feel even further away from home.
"Freeze Frame"
While discussing the F&P script, the trial and the quest for more partners, Charlie consults Hank about grooming his "area," which Hank encourages. Karen and Marcy are getting ready for Becca and the Queens of Dogtown's first show at the Whisky, when Charlie interrupts them with a pretty serious "shaving accident." Marcy takes him to the ER, where the doctor (JOSH GAD) informs them that both of Charlie's vasectomies were botched. A look of fear comes to Marcy's face as she realizes the baby in her belly might actually be a Runkle.

Marcy takes him to the ER, where the doctor (JOSH GAD) informs them that both of Charlie's vasectomies were botched. A look of fear comes to Marcy's face as she realizes the baby in her belly might actually be a Runkle.
On his way to meet attorney Abby (CARLA GUGINO) for dinner, Hank runs into Mia (MADELINE ZIMA) and the actress who'll be playing her in the upcoming movie, Sasha Bingham (ADDISON TIMLIN). Awkwardness abounds. Later, Hank and Abby's business relationship is starting to get a little more personal when Hank gets a text invite to Becca's show, where he meets Ben (MICHAEL EALY) for the first time. After Hank returns to the hotel that night, he gets word that Mia is acting strange on the balcony of Sasha's room. He innocently coaxes her inside, but a discreet picture of Hank with his alleged victim and the teen starlet is about to hit the blogs and change everything…
"Lawyers, Guns and Money"
After seeing the compromising photo of Hank with the two young ladies, the DA calls off Hank's plea bargain, causing attorney Abby (CARLA GUGINO) to dismiss Hank as a client. The photo scandal also causes Sasha Bingham (ADDISON TIMLIN) to drop out of the movie. Waxologist Marcy makes a house call for a bikini wax that turns out to be an act of courtship by Stu Beggs (STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY), and the pair eventually bond over body wax and bull-riding movies.
Hank and Charlie's dinner meeting with offbeat actor Eddie Nero (ROB LOWE) is cut short when Becca and the Queens of Dogtown get into some trouble at a Venice tattoo parlor. The love Hank shows for Becca is enough to convince Nero that Hank is a character worth playing. Meanwhile, Karen goes to Abby's office and tries to convince her to re-represent Hank, which leads Abby and Hank to reconcile over a drink and blur the lines of attorney-client privilege…
"The Recused"
Given the previous night's surprising events, Abby (CARLA GUGINO) recuses herself as Hank's attorney, and, over an afternoon of golf, tries to pair him with a senior partner (ALAN DALE) of her firm, with mixed results. Hank is further irked to discover that Karen and Ben (MICHAEL EALY) are hanging out more frequently, including at the concert for Becca and her band, Queens of Dogtown.
Charlie, still on his quest for 100 partners, beds Abby's BBW secretary (JACQUIE BARNBROOK). Later on, Stu (STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY) and Marcy come to ask Charlie for his help pitching a show to Showtime. But when Marcy and Stu's nerves get the better of them, will Charlie be able to step up and save the day?
"Lights. Camera. Asshole."
Hank Moody takes a job rewriting dialogue for a new blockbuster zombie sequel Slowly We Rot 2, helmed by an increasingly frustrated director (TODD LOUISO) and starring Sasha Bingham (ADDISON TIMLIN). He leaves the set after receiving a tip from bandmate Pearl (ZOË KRAVITZ) that Becca has ditched school and is now drunk. At the hotel bar that night, Hank meets a sexy "age-appropriate" woman (CALLIE THORNE) who turns out to be even closer to Sasha than Hank, which may lead to Hank getting fired from his lucrative new gig…
Karen takes Marcy (to a clinic, where Marcy wrestles with whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. Marcy lets Stu Beggs know that she's pregnant, but before she can explain whose baby it is, he cuts her off, overjoyed to learn that he's going to be a father. Meanwhile, Charlie is caught in a compromising situation with real estate agent Peggy (MELISSA STEPHENS), who, as Charlie soon finds out, is quite "adventurous" in the bedroom.
"Another Perfect Day"
Evicted from his place, Hank moves back in with Karen and Becca.
"The Trial"
It's the first day of the Moody trial and the otherwise cool Hank is visibly nervous, especially after an irksome encounter with Bill (DAMIAN YOUNG) outside the courthouse. Attorney Abby (CARLA GUGINO) tries to calm him down, but the Prosecutor (LARRY POINDEXTER) has enough evidence to make Hank's outlook seem pretty grim.
Charlie is called to the stand and lets slip some incriminating anecdotes about Hank's run-ins with director Todd Carr (CHRIS WILLIAMS) and his wife, unintentionally worsening what has become a total character assassination. Karen's testimony reveals the childish, jealous nature of Hank, portrayed ever more desperately pathetic and drunk. Bill adds malice and motive, and drops a bomb that squashes Hank's last bastion of innocent ignorance. By the time Mia (MADELINE ZIMA) takes the stand, Hank's cause seems all but lost.
"The Last Supper"
The verdict is in. Hank Moody is guilty. While struggling to process, Hank keeps slipping into horrible daymares, even ending up back at the Church with a familiar (and very accommodating) nun (MICHELE NORDIN). Attorney Abby (CARLA GUGINO) gives her best effort to make up for not getting Hank off in the courtroom. Hank goes to Charlie's house for solace, where he meets freaky realtor Peggy (MELISSA STEPHENS) and then meets up with old friend Trixie (JUDY GREER), but even her company isn't enough…
Hank uses some of his zombie movie cash to buy a new, used Porsche. Back on the road, and with visions of driving to escape the trial's outcome and LA in general, Hank receives a phone call that has Hank spending one last night surrounded by family as Charlie and Marcy, Karen and Becca, swap stories and relish in the nostalgia. The night ends with Marcy revealing to Charlie that her baby is likely his, as well. Meanwhile, Karen and Hank share one final night to remember.
"...And Justice for All"
Hank awaits sentencing and visits the set of his movie.

I still don't dislike the guy. I don't know why.
Yes, the media is pushing him really hard into our living rooms, but I just can't blame him for that.
To be fair, I haven't kept up much with him since his college days, but I met the guy once after a friend of mine got married in Waco (this was after he won the Heisman but before being drafted) . Seemed to be just a regular kid with a good head on his shoulders. Respectful, cordial-- took a picture with the bride after the wedding and took her trash talk with a smile (she graduated OU early 2000's and is a diehard fan).
Just seems like the person you would expect an army brat to be.
Again, I haven't kept up with him since then because he's the enemy and I can't talk to skins fans without wanting to bash my own brains in, but I wouldn't be shocked if all of these 'stories' are nothing but contrived media BS.
I sure hope his coach and the fans enjoy him while he's here, because he's shown glimpses of being something else besides talented.......injury prone!!!
One year and he's already had a concussion and a major knee injury. He's one run away from major catastrophe.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

For the time being, the Cincinnati Bengals plan on using a trio of wide receivers to play across from superstar A.J. Green . That trio consists of Armon Binns , Brandon Tate and rookie Mohamed Sanu . Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden referred to that group as "more or less interchangable." He continued to say, "Right now, the way they've performed, I have no reservation whatsoever of anybody coming in there. My play calling won't alter one bit if Sanu, Armon or Tate is out there."
Fantasy Analysis:
It sounds like the Bengals WR2 spot could be a fantasy dead zone if nobody truly emerges. If anything, this bit of news and the quote from Gruden sound like he's asking somebody to step up and take the job. The Bengals quietly have put together a very young and dynamic offense. With Green commanding so much attention from defenses, all the other receivers in Cincinnati could be facing single coverage each and every play.

MSFT: Ford CEO Mulally Still Possible Pick, Says AllThingsD
You may recall that earlier this month, speculation arose about Ford (F) CEO Alan Mulally replacing Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer when the latter steps down, after he announced in August his intention to pass the baton in twelve months' time.
Those initial rumors were quashed when media outlets reported Mulally had no intention of leaving and would remain at Ford at least through 2014.
This evening, AllThingsD's Kara Swisher writes that multiple unnamed sources tell her he "has vaulted to the forefront of the candidates to be the new CEO of Microsoft."
Apparently, Mulally may have eased up on his initial reticence: "People with knowledge of the situation said that while Mulally was not seeking the job at first, he has become more amenable to the idea in recent weeks," writes Swisher.
Microsoft shares rose 27 cents, or 0.8%, to close at $32.77 today. Ford shares rose 8 cents, or half a percent, to close at $17.27.

Well heres updated.
round 1- Coby Fleener - Big Body TE from Stanford, will need to put on weight, but can become an inline TE who can run and has great hands
round 2 - Amini SIlatolu - Big OL from Midwestern State. A bit shorter than you would want from a tackle, but if he shows he has long enough arms at the combine, then I think he can play RT. He moves really well for his size, pulls and traps well, can hit guys at the 2nd and 3rd level well, and is a complete mauler, finishes every play hard. If he cant play RT because of his size limitations, you have your starting LG for the next 10 years.
round 3 - Malik Jackson - DE - Tennessee, has the size and natural talent the giants always look for on the DL. Jackson played everywhere on the DL in tennessee, and has become a very good pass rusher inside and outside. Exactly the kind of versatility the giants look for.
round 4- LaMichael James- HB - Oregon Versatile playmaking HB who looks like he could become a great receiving HB as well, willing blocker, but will need to add some size to be trusted on 3rd downs. Reminds me a bit of Brian Westbrook physically
round 5 - Tysyn Hartman, S - Kansas State - big physical Safety. Good in the box, shows some man coverage ability, has what seems like pretty good range, and has shown the ability to make big plays. (10 career interceptions). I watched his game against Texas Tech this year (you tell me why it was broadcast in florida?) and it was pretty impressive, he was all over the field.
round 6 - Derek Wolfe - DT - Cincy. Was originally an offensive linemen, but moved to Defensive tackle his first season. Has a motor, and has been really productive, had 21.5 tackles for a loss and 9.5 sacks his senior season. But since he is somewhat new to the position hes still very raw and streaky, forgets how to use his arms, and does show a bit of stiffness when he plays.
round 7 - Andrew Datko - OT - Florida State. Big OT (6'6 330) who moves really well, but has had medical issues (multiple shoulder surgeries) and has some lower body stiffness and doesnt always bend well. But if he does clear medically, he has the ability to be a potential starting tackle. Especially if he can add some power and works on bending at the knees

The homework myth
Original post made by Menlo mother, Menlo Park: Downtown, on Mar 7, 2007
It seems to me they have a thoughtful and well-reasoned policy on limiting homework for young children.
As the mother of a future Oak Knoll kindergartner, I wasn't aware of the homework policy until I saw it on the news. After reading Principal Ackerman's letter Web Link
I am even more pleased to be sending my child to Oak Knoll.
I'm sure that the school gets plenty of grief about the policy from pushy parents with an eye to their first-grader's ivy league college applications, but personally, I am this close to sending Ackerman a fruit basket and a thank-you note.
By the way, I think the Alfie Kohn book he's quoting is "The Homework Myth." (Read about it here Web Link but buy it at Kepler's!)
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park
on Mar 7, 2007 at 4:55 pm
Principal Ackerman and the school district didn't "backpedal on the homework ban" because THERE NEVER WAS A HOMEWORK BAN. The specific directions that Principal Ackerman provided in his email to parents last fall about the future of homework (emphasize reading as the primary homework activity for young children, don't assign homework for homework's sake, don't go over the district time limits, etc.) are entirely consistent with the district's homework policy which has been in place for several years. The only news media that has actually gotten the story right is The Almanac.

This comment is neither here nor there, but is about homework in elementary school.
My chief memory from first grade is the smell of heated yellow paper with blue lines.
I never completed my arithmetic homework. Instead, I balled up the partially done assignments and stuffed them into my desk. Don't ask me why; I don't remember. I was just ornery.
The nun who was teaching the class eventually discovered this undone work and made take it home and complete it. My mother ironed every one of them and handed them off to me to finish. It was a rueful day for me. And I don't know if I learned anything.
I was never a good student and never liked school. I still can't stand entering a classroom as a student.

Mr Man - I had to laugh at your story of balling up the homework in first grade as that was so reminiscent of my own experience. I remember thinking very clearly that all of the "make work" was just stupid and pointless.
That all worked out fine until my parents looked through my desk at teacher night parent conference. My dad came home and lost it yelling at me.
After that I learned to clean out my desk and remove my name from any assignments getting tossed in the trash prior to my parents coming to school.
I guess it worked out ok, I still graduated from college and grad school with high honors and went on to earn a reasonable eight digit net worth.

If you measure success in terms of net worth, I guess I'm an abject failure. However, thanks to spending three years at an early version of a charter school, where the homework only was assigned if you needed extra time to master a concept, the public school system never succeeded in squashing my love of learning. (although there were some close calls in junior high!)
I truly believe the world would be a better place if more kids grew up to be avid readers with a healthy sense of intellectual curiosity. That's not something that can be measured in dollars or test scores, but it's valuable nonetheless.

Mr. Man, maybe your school should have assigned humility homework for you.

Humility homework? So not liking school is an indication of arrogance? Excuse me for having my own agenda for my own life. Maybe obedience is up there with humility in your pantheon of virtues, commonsense.

My guess is that the humility comment was directed at me for mentioning financial net worth.
Hey, really I wasn't trying to self aggrandizing. There are literally hundreds of thousands of wealthier people than myself in the country and I strongly suspect millions of people with higher IQ's. And probably 10's of millions of more strongly motivated individuals.
It seems to me that so many parents believe that it's healthy for their 9 year old to be doing 3 hours of homework so that he/she has a chance to get into an Ivy league school. And for what reward? To be top dog? To prove to the world that they are smarter, better looking, and more worthy of adulation? What is it that these parents want for their kids?
My only point is that I have absolutely zero belief that pushing too hard too early has absolutely zero correlation with academic success, and even less with financial success.
I certainly do NOT mean to equate financial success with life success. That excercise is left to the reader.

hmmm, just read what I wrote, and I have to add that I do believe that pushing too hard has a schooling correlation, I just don't think it's a positive one. etc, etc.

I appreciate your comments, anonymous person. There's no shame in being financially successful, just as there's no shame in being something other than rich.

Too little to late for me. My sophmore and 8th graders were right in the middle of big homework days at Oak Knoll. If I had it to do over again, I would have been the one in charge of what my kids did after school, not the teachers. Instead of cooking, gardening, PLAYING, or doing household chores, homework always had to be done. Since my 8th grader took forever to get her homework done, the evening hours consisted of arguments, groans and sadness many nights. The homework by the way was the most uncreative boring work that should have been done in the classroom. If grade school homework is to be done, how about some creative, interesting tasks, like counting how many doorknobs and subtracting the amount of faucets for first graders. I messed up but for parents of new oak knoll students, be strong, you do have the power to call the shots. Keep your kids happy and stress free for as long as possible.

[quote user="mjg407"]I was surprised that we traded him. Probably wouldn't have happened if Mara was still alive. But, it was best for the team. I tell you what, our FA picks from last year are amazing..... Hixon, Hedge****.... wow. RD had a sweet hit on ST this week.
Those were great great picks.....Hixon really stepped up, if Moss wants to know why he's not playing, just look at Hixon.

wild borage really helps in tennessee,
I am wanting to plant some bluebeard (don't know if that spelled right)
I've heard good things.
Midsummer is what I would plant for, here that is the toughest time.
Also what about Niger, so you have a target planting.
Clover is dependable in my region without planting it. But tennessee is really splitting
climate zones big time nowadays,
Tennessee has a cost sharing program for what your working on,
also ut is doing a study on bee plants right now, offer to let them plant it for you, there may be a bit of intrest
All the best, man has it been cold here!!


text: I have several hives that I put queen cells in and hatched queens out of. I saw one hatch out, and marked it. The others didn't hatch the same time and I didn't mark them. Anyway, the queen from the first hive is now in hive number 2 and the first hive is queenless. It has been almost 2 weeks since they hatched out and I haven't found any eggs in either hive. I was just wondering if this is common. Thanks in advance

NSW's chances of snapping their seven-series State of Origin losing streak against Queensland have received a major boost, with the Blues set to host two home matches next year including a potential game-three decider.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell is expected to make an announcement on Tuesday following a multi-million-dollar deal between the NSW Government, ANZ Stadium management and the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) which takes the 2013 home advantage from the Maroons.
The original scheduling for Suncorp Stadium to have two games in 2013 was made before the new independent commission came into power at the start of the season.
NSW have lost the past seven interstate series to Queensland sides prepared by Mal Meninga.
The ARLC is expected to unveil its new seven-year Origin schedule in Sydney on Tuesday.

Are Startups The Future Of Media?

If you take a serious look at the media world, there are only a handful of significant players. While it may be easy to define "significant" as a company doing interesting things, it's more practical to look at the media landscape. Last time I checked, no media company was behind the creation of Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or any other new media darling du jour. My guess is that they'll be investors as soon as they physically can be.

Jailed Mohammed filmmaker: No apologies
In his first public comments since his incarceration soon after the video gained international attention in September, Mr. Nakoula told The New York Times that he would go to great lengths to convey what he called "the actual truth" about Muhammad. "I thought, before I wrote this script," he said, "that I should burn myself in a public square to let the American people and the people of the world know this message that I believe in."…
A few years ago, Mr. Nakoula told some of the crew members he had gathered, supposedly to make "Desert Warriors," that the project would have to be put off. He had cancer. Treatment was needed, far away, and they would not be able to reach him. His family shared a similar story with church officials…
But Mr. Nakoula, who described himself to some cast members as the writer and producer, explained to a confidant that his plan was to fool actors into thinking they were making a movie built around an ancient tribal villain named George, dubbing in the name "Muhammad" later whenever anybody said "George."
Why would the savages (I mean the Obooba administration) be all up in arms about a trailer for a non-existent film when they haven't mentioned any numbers of books, films, web sites etc that eviscerate Islam?
It's like the other show hasn't dropped.

Manchester United's new sponsor Chevrolet who's kit sponsorship deal kick start from season 2014/2015 onwards are reported to be very keen to re-unite Cristiano Ronaldo with Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. According to reports they want to make Ronaldo their global ambassador to help bring him back to Manchester. The Portuguese been tipped to leave Real Madrid in summer due to his contract extension breakdown with the Spanish club. The Daily Star reports that Ronaldo believes he has not been given the respect he deserves in Spain and decided to leave the capital in summer, a return to Manchester United has always been his preferred choice with the player still in love with the manager,players and fans of the club in which he spent 6 years of his footballing career and won all the major honours including Ballon d'Or. The big hurdle would be whether the Premier League leaders could offer a salary to rival the player's current £220,000-a-week deal and stay within the new UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations which come into force next season. But there is an alternative option which would see a player agree a salary with a side and then sign a separate endorsement package with the club's sponsors. And it is exactly that model which is being considered at Old Trafford, with new club sponsors Chevrolet ready to make Ronaldo their global ambassador to help bring him back to Manchester. The only stumbling block is the £370m seven-year sponsorship deal is not due to start until season 2014/2015 but Starsport understands talks are on-going to buy current backers Aon out of their deal a year early. That would allow United to sign Ronaldo and GM to tie up an individual endorsement deal with the player which arguably will be the biggest transfers in history.
Interesting thing. Liverpool are as close to relegation as City is to us.

Jill Daniels
Hi! The name is Jill Daniels, and let me tell you a little about myself. I have lived my entire life in Western New York -- born and raised in East Aurora. I have been lucky enough to be working radio for the last 10 years. It has been an amazing experience, and between the music and the listeners, I have learned so much. I have a passion for two things in life -- my first is definitely the outdoors. I will spend my entire summer kayaking, camping and hiking. To me, there is nothing better than spending time outdoors, sleeping under the stars and roasting marshmallows over a campfire. I am proud to say I have climbed a few mountains in my lifetime too! My other passion in life is animals. I just can't help but melt when I see a cute face! I have two cats but have had so many other animals, including bunnies and even an iguana! Secretly, I always wanted to grow up to be like the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin or Jack Hanna, so then I would have the best of both worlds! Besides that, I have the most amazing family and friends a girl could ask for. I don't know where I would be without the support and love from all of them.

Spons'd Tingles: Savoury Moment by Dr Oetker
Porny & the turkey leg
As you know, Dr. Oetker has been sponsoring the Savoury Moments on our site. Ask any advanced gossip – it's not savoury if it's not on camera! So shoot your own Savoury Moments, win one of five Sony DSC-W270 Digital Cameras and pap yourself! Contest details and the entry ballot can be found here.
There were many savoury moments this month in gossip. From the Met Gala and Anna Wintour's Mother/Daughter Fail to the Cannes film festival and the Pitt Porn…
But she's our Old Faithful, that Porny Simpson. Jessica Simpson, as always, is the gift that keeps on giving. She's a gift to observers, and she's a gift to writers. She was the inspiration behind one of the funniest Vanity Fair articles I have ever read – her profile this month in which the journalist actually compared her microphone to a TURKEY LEG and described his inner monologue, obsessed about her "fat" totally made my life.
You can't get away with something like this with most celebrities. Most celebrity editorials are handled with exact specifications and warnings and threats of boycott should the publication not drink the Kool Aid.
But Jessica Simpson's star has fallen so low, Vanity Fair's reporter was able to take direct aim, not blow sugar all over the article, but as he wanted to write it. And the result… Amazingness.
For the last month or so, Jessica has remained undercover, travelling with Tony Romo, staying away from paparazzi frequented locations, and, they say, busting her ass on the treadmill. Meanwhile Papa Joe is on full rescue mode. How to turn around her career?
Get rid of HIM.

text: The cap situation is a mess and now they are cutting guys and making holes they may not be able to fill. What are they going to do at DT? One good player, possibly two older players, one guy that hasn't played in three years, and a rookie coming off an ACL tear. They where already not the best LB unit and they let Boley go too. If they move Kiwi back to DE because they will probably lose Osi who will play LB? Will they resign Beatty? The secondary is up in the air as well. Hope they draft extremely well and find some cheap FA's.

Having used this brand on my motorcycle with good results, I decided to try them out on the wife's car. Installation was the smoothest I've ever had on a vehicle and so far they have done great. Feels like the pads are grabbing better than the stock ones ever did, no fade at all, and no squealing at all. Price is higher than the last set of brake pads I bought, but were worth the increase for the solid feel and stopping power they provide.

Automobile refinishers, automobile painters, and automobile repair shops furnish
repairs to tangible personal property. The entire amount charged for such services,
including any charges for materials, parts used, and labor is subject to tax. Materials
and parts purchased by such businesses which will become a part of the automobiles when
refinished, repaired or painted, may be purchased under a Resale Exemption Certificate.
Rule 52. Barbers and Cosmetologists
Barbers and cosmetologists render personal services which are not taxable.
They are consumers of the various items which are used or consumed in the rendition of
their services. Sales of such tangible personal property to them are retail sales and
subject to tax. If these persons sell beauty products to the public, they are required to
register as dealers and collect the tax from their customers, but may purchase such
products under a Resale Exemption Certificate.
Rule 53. Sales of Building Materials
Sales of materials and supplies to persons to be used in erecting, altering,
improving, or repairing buildings or other improvements are sales to consumers and not
sales for resale and are taxable. The seller of such materials must collect and remit the
Rule 54. Catalogs
Catalogs distributed or mailed directly to Parish residents without charge are exempt
from tax.
Rule 55. Caterers
A. If a caterer prepares, furnishes or serves
tangible personal property which is consumed on the caterers premises, those
activities, whether billed as one item or billed separately, constitute a taxable sale.
B. On the other hand, if a caterer prepares, furnishes or
serves tangible personal property not consumed on the caterer's premises, the preparing
and serving is not a part of the taxable sale if, and only if, a separate charge is made
for the preparation and serving. If a lump sum bill is rendered, the entire amount thereof
must be included in taxable sales. All consumables served by a caterer at the customer's
premises or designated location are includable in taxable sales.
C. Purchases by a caterer of such items as food, drinks,
ingredients, and non-reusable food containers, plates, and eating utensils are purchases
for resale if they become the property of the caterer's customer at the time meals are
served. Purchases by a caterer of such items as tablecloths, napkins, cooking utensils,
and equipment, which are not sold or delivered to customers, but are used by the caterer,
are not purchased for resale and are taxable.
Rule 56. Computer Software
A. Effective May 1, 1995, all computer software is
"tangible personal property," whether considered "canned software" or
"customized software." Thus, transactions involving software are subject
to tax regardless of the type and function of the software or whether transferred via
diskette or other storage medium, via telephone lines, or by any other method.
B. This section shall not be construed to include software
developed by persons for their own use. Subsequent transfer of this software will be
considered a retail sale and subject to sales tax. The sale of software developed for
another person will be considered a retail sale and subject to sales tax.
C. The purchase of a software program may contain many
components. These components may contain some non-taxable services when considered
individually. When purchasing a software package, all charges the customer is required to
pay to acquire the software, except those specifically exempt, will be subject to sales
tax. Any non-taxable services, such as personnel training and consultation services, are
not subject to sales tax. If any non-taxable services are purchased from the same vendor
at the time the software is purchased and billed on the same invoice as the software
purchase, these services must be separately stated on the invoice or they will be subject
to tax in the same manner as the software.
D. The purchase of a maintenance agreement on computer software
may contain many components. These components may contain both updates for the software
and some non-taxable services. The modifications and updates for the computer software are
considered subject to tax, as they represent additional tangible personal property
purchased. Any non-taxable services, such as consultation services or personnel training,
are not subject to tax as a purchase of tangible personal property. If any non-taxable
services are purchased from the same vendor at the time the software is purchased and
billed on the same invoice as the upgrades of the computer program, these services must be
separately stated on the invoice or they will be subject to the tax in the same manner as
the software.
Rule 57. Contractors
A. Contractors and subcontractors are engaged in the
business of constructing, erecting, building or otherwise improving, altering or repairing
real property such as buildings, highways, roads or other structures. Contractors provide
labor and material to improve real property and are not liable for the collection of sales
taxes on their contracting revenues. Contractors are treated as the ultimate consumer of
materials which become affixed to real property and on other articles of tangible personal
property used or consumed by the contractor in performing the contract. The contractor
must pay sales and use tax on the purchase of those materials. Contractors must also pay
sales and use tax on tools, equipment, and supplies purchased and used in their business.
B. Contractor-Dealers - Contractors and subcontractors
engaged in the business of erecting, building or otherwise improving, altering or
repairing real property for others may also be engaged in the retail business of selling
materials and supplies to other contractors, consumers or users. If, at the time of his
purchase of materials and supplies, the contractor is unable to segregate that portion of
the materials and supplies he will sell at retail from that portion which he will use or
consume in the fulfillment of his contracts, he should furnish a Resale Exemption
Certificate to the seller of the materials and supplies. The contractor or subcontractor
purchasing on a Resale Exemption Certificate must include in his gross sales upon which
the tax is to be computed, all proceeds from his retail sales. In addition, he must report
and pay tax on all materials he uses in the performance of his contracts, based on his
cost price of such materials and supplies.
When the contract with the customer is expressed in terms of a sale of certain materials
at a stipulated price, plus a charge for installation, the contract is considered a retail
sale subject to tax to the extent of the stipulated price.
When the contract is expressed in terms of a sale of certain materials, coupled with an
obligation to install them for a lump sum charge, the entire charge is considered the
selling price and is subject to tax.
Those contractors whose operations are covered by this rule must register as retail
dealers and are required to furnish their registration number when signing a Resale
Exemption Certificate.
C. Contracts Financed by the Federal Government - The
sale of materials, supplies, equipment or other items of tangible personal property to a
contractor although on a cost-plus, cost-plus fixed fee or lump sum contract with the
Federal Government, wherein the contractor will be reimbursed by the Federal Government
with a Federal Government check, is taxable and the seller is required to collect from the
contractor and remit the taxes due. It is immaterial that part or all the funds by which
payment is made by the contractor may have been advanced, granted, loaned or paid to the
contractor by the Federal Government.
(See also Rule 7.)
Rule 58. Containers, Bags, Wrapping Paper, Etc.
A. The sale or purchase of items actually accompanying the
products sold to the ultimate consumer, without which the delivery of the products is
impracticable on account of the character of the contents, and for which there is no
separate charge, is not subject to tax. These items include such things as grocery bags,
cans or bottles in which goods, paints, and other commodities are contained; medicine
bottles; boxes in which jewelry, candy, etc., are delivered to a consumer; ice cream
cartons and cones; milk bottle caps; labels or nameplates affixed to products
manufactured; and printed matter containing only directions for use when it is
impracticable to affix such printed matter to the article sold.
B. When container materials, such as crating, packing cases,
excelsior, bale bindings, and the like are used in connection with the preparation for
sale of other tangible personal property, and these materials do not pass to the ultimate
consumer together with the tangible personal property originally contained therein, the
sale of such materials is considered a purchase for resale, provided the seller receives a
Resale Exemption Certificate from his customer.
C. Whenever tangible personal property is sold in barrels,
bottles, boxes, bags, kegs, drums, cartons, sacks, cans, or other containers, the title to
which is retained by the seller of the tangible personal property contained therein and
which are to be returned to the seller and are tendered by the seller to provide merely a
means of containing such tangible personal property while in the process of being
delivered or conveyed to the purchaser for use or consumption, then the sale to the seller
using such containers is a taxable sale at retail.
D. Sales of boxes, twine, tape, and similar articles to persons
engaged in rendering services, who use such articles in connection with the services
rendered, who make no separate charge thereof and who are required to collect the tax upon
the receipts from such services, are sales for resale. For example, sales of plastic wrap
and twine to a dry cleaner or laundry are sales for resale and should be made under a
Resale Exemption Certificate, since such materials pass to the consumer along with the
taxable service.
E. Sales of wrapping paper, boxes, ribbons, and bows to sellers
of tangible personal property for use in gift-wrapping services are considered sales for
resale and should be made under a Resale Exemption Certificate.
F. When gift-wrapping services are provided in connection with the
sale of tangible personal property and no separate charge is made, no tax is due. When a
separate charge in connection with the sale of tangible personal property is made for
gift-wrapping services, the entire charge is considered to be a charge for the sale of
tangible personal property and is taxable.
G. When the gift-wrapping service is not rendered in connection with
the sale of the tangible personal property being wrapped, only the separately stated
charge for gift-wrapping materials is subject to sales tax and the separately stated labor
and service charge is not taxable. If no separation of charges is made, the entire charge
is considered to be for the sale of tangible personal property and is taxable.
Rule 59. Cold Storage
Charges for the service of furnishing cold storage space and for the service of
providing tangible personal property for cold storage, when such service is incidental to
the operation of cold storage facilities, are subject to tax. Cold storage space means any
enclosed space in which the temperature and/or humidity are regulated and controlled.
In order for sales tax to apply to charges for furnishing cold storage space, the
provider of the cold storage space must guarantee that the temperature of the cold storage
facility will be maintained at a temperature suitable for the preservation and storage of
perishable items to be maintained in the facility. Generally, the owner of the facility
must guarantee that the temperature will be maintained below the normal building
The taxability of charges for the use of climate-controlled, self-service storage
facilities depends upon the terms of the contract. Charges for the use of a
climate-controlled, self-service storage unit will only be taxable if the contract between
the owner of the unit and the lessee of the unit guarantees that the temperature of the
unit will be maintained below the normal building temperature and at a level necessary to
maintain or preserve perishable items. In the alternative, charges are not taxable where
the contractee receives a key to a specific unit and may place or remove items at their
own discretion, and where there is no guarantee to maintain the temperature of the unit
below the normal building temperature.
Rule 60. Dental Laboratories
According to Act 1065, 1991, orthotic and prosthetic devices, prostheses and
restorative materials sold to and utilized by dentists are exempt from sales and use tax.
Sales of other tangible personal property to dentists or other businesses that are not
specifically exempt are taxable.

A dentist is the consumer of tangible personal property which he uses in the
practice of his profession. According to Act 1065, 1991, orthotic and prosthetic devices,

from sales and use tax.
Purchases of other tangible personal property, including dental chairs, motors,
instruments, x-ray machines, drilling machines, office furniture, and equipment, are
subject to sales and use tax.
Rule 62. Dirt, Sand, and Gravel
Dirt, sand, and gravel are tangible personal property after they have been
severed from the land; therefore, the sale thereof is subject to tax. The tax is measured
by the sales price of the dirt, sand or gravel, which includes all charges made in
connection with the sale, but does not include separately stated charges for hauling or
delivery. If the dirt, sand or gravel is used by a contractor, the contractor would owe
either a sales or use tax on the sales price or cost price of any dirt, sand or gravel
purchased and other charges made, including loading or hauling. If the contractor severed
and used dirt, sand or gravel owned by him, there would be no tax due.
Rule 63. Farm Equipment, Fertilizer, Farm Products' Containers, Seeds, Pesticides, Feed and Feed Additives, Livestock and Poultry, Farm Supplies
A. Farm equipment, machinery, farm tools, and other
items purchased by farmers for use or consumption are subject to tax unless specifically

the plant food content and as a result, becomes a part of the product grown.
C. The exemption for feed and feed additives does not apply to
such purchases for pets, hunting dogs, or any animal kept primarily for personal, sporting
or other purposes.
D. The word "pesticide" means any preparation useful
in the control of insects, plant life, fungus, or any other pest detrimental to
agricultural crops, including the control of animal pests and diseases that meets the
definition of a pesticide in accordance with the Department of Agriculture and Forestry of
the State of Louisiana under Louisiana Revised Statute 3:3202. Qualifying pesticides must

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act number. Pesticides include, but are not
limited to, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, crop oils, surfactants, adjuvants,
emulsions, soaps, and drift agents. The exemption for pesticides does not include
pesticides used for private family vegetable gardens or in protecting ornamental plants
used in landscaping.
E. Only seeds planted in a sufficient quantity to result in a
harvest of recognized commercial value, depending upon the product being planted, qualify
for exemption. The exemption does not cover the planting of a garden to produce food for
personal consumption by the planter or his family or seeds used in planting for landscape
purposes, unless the planter is in the business of harvesting the plants and selling them
in a commercial market.
Rule 64. Fast Food Supplies
A. The containers used by fast food businesses, which actually
accompany the products sold to the consumer without which the delivery of such products is
impractical on account of the character of the contents, and for which there is no

containers, hash brown and french fry containers, and paper bags.

Rule 65. Finance Companies
A. Finance companies are engaged primarily in the business of
financing or acquiring promissory notes given by purchasers of automobiles, furniture,
refrigerators, or other items of tangible personal property. For the repayment of such
notes, they sometimes take as security chattel mortgages or other security upon such
tangible personal property. When the purchaser fails to meet his obligation, the finance
company repossesses the property and sells it to satisfy the obligation evidenced by the
notes. These sales are subject to tax.
B. When financing companies acquire title to such tangible
personal property and engage in the business of selling and/or renting such property, the
sales or rentals thereof are taxable.
Rule 66. Florists
A. Florists are engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property at retail and all such sales are subject to tax.

outside the Parish for delivery of flowers in this Parish, there is no tax due with
respect to the receipts realized by the florist located in this Parish.

other combustibles, whether sold in carload lots or other quantities to persons who use or
consume such substances in producing other tangible personal property or in the rendering
of service, are taxable. The coal, coke, fuel oil or other combustibles do not physically
enter into or become a constituent component or integral part of tangible personal
property, and hence, are sold for use or consumption rather than for resale.
Refinery gas used for any purpose is taxable after September 12, 1990. Prior to
September 12, 1990, refinery gas was taxable only if used for boiler fuel.
(See also Rule 85 concerning Liquefied Gas and

camps is a taxable service.
B. The term "hotel" or "tourist camp" means
any establishment engaged in the business of furnishing sleeping rooms, cottages or cabins
to tourists or other transient guests when the number of guest sleeping rooms, cottages or
cabins at a single location is six or more. The classification is determined by the type
of guest accommodated and the number of units at each location. Whether cooking and eating
facilities are furnished is immaterial.
C. If an establishment contains less than six sleeping rooms,
cottages or cabins, the tax does not apply.
D. The tax applies only to charges made to transient guests.
Whether the guests of a particular establishment are transient guests must be determined
on the basis of the facts in each case. A guest who pays for a room by the month and who
resides in the establishment for 60 consecutive days shall be considered a permanent guest
and the tax would not apply. In addition, the tax does not apply to rooms rented on an
annual contract basis.
E. When an establishment provides facilities for both transient
and permanent guests, the facilities for the permanent guests are not included in
determining the status of the establishment. For example, if there are eight sleeping
units furnished to transient guests and ten apartments for permanent guests, the
establishment constitutes a hotel or tourist camp, since more than six of the rooms are
furnished to transient guests.

sales tax.

or users are subject to tax.
Rule 74. Jewelry Repair Shops
A. Jewelry repair shops primarily repair tangible personal
property such as watches, clocks, and jewelry, which are taxable services. Sales by supply
houses to jewelry repair shops of articles of machinery, equipment, and supplies used or
consumed incidentally in the rendering of such services, but which do not become part of
the articles repaired, are taxable retail sales. Sales of materials and supplies, such as
springs, crystals, jewel staffs, gold, silver, and similar articles, which become a part
of the articles repaired, are sales for resale and may be purchased with a Resale
Exemption Certificate.
B. Sales by jewelry repair shops of watches, watch chains and
straps, clocks, pins, rings, jewelry, and other tangible personal property are taxable
retail sales. Sales of such articles by supply houses to jewelry repair shops are sales

When are these stars going to realize that all they are doing is making themselves look, and sound like adolescent, immature children when they do this. And the barely there rear? Not even worth mentioning! AND it just makes her look slutty and not worth a second look. And the talking heads that are just GUSHING over how great she looks are just as disgusting. Care almost less about the whole Justa Beaver headlines than I do ANYTHING Kartrashian!

The Giants were able to pressure Drew Brees on 18 of his 44 drop-backs, in large part due to the play of Jason Pierre-Paul (+6.0), who terrorized the New Orleans offensive line en route to a season-high nine QB disruptions. Regardless of who was in front of him, Pierre-Paul had no trouble getting into the New Orleans backfield, as he beat tackles Jermon Bushrod, Zach Strief, and William Robinson at least twice each for pressures. Dave Thomas didnt fare much better, allowing a hurry and picking up a holding penalty on his attempts to contain the end.
Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora werent bad either each produced four pressures, including the teams only sack on the day, on 61 combined rushes. Tuck was particularly effective rushing from the interior of the defense where he collected a hit and a hurry from two of his seven pass rushes against Ben Grubbs at DRT. This is usually the time of year that we see the Giants pass rush light the blue touch paper. Its too early to tell if this was the start of that, but this was at least a better performance by the Giants base pass rush than weve seen for most of the season.
The Falcons and Ravens like to pass the ball so we should get great opportunities to get hurries/hits/sacks.

Report: Oregon could do more to help folks save
State urged to expand Earned Income Tax Credit
PORTLAND, Ore. - More than one-third of Oregon residents don't have enough money in savings to keep them afloat for three months, according to a new national report, and the average family's credit card debt tops $10,000.
The report from the nonprofit Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED) makes recommendations about what states can do to help people improve their financial stability.
It suggests that Oregon keep and expand the state Earned Income Tax Credit for the lowest-wage workers.
The EITC's effects reach beyond the workers and into the community, said Nancy Yuill, who heads Innovative Changes, a Portland-based financial nonprofit organization.
"Financial instability affects all of us," she said, "so an investment in opportunities for our working families, like the Earned Income Tax Credit, really is an investment in our state's economy and in our state's future."
The state EITC is scheduled to end this year. if it isn't renewed in the Oregon Legislature. It currently amounts to 6 percent of the federal EITC.
The governor's budget recommends increasing it to 8 percent, but the report suggests expanding it to 18 percent of the federal amount.
Oregon also has a successful Individual Development Account (IDA) program that helps people save for specific goals, from home ownership or college to a major home repair, and it matches their savings.
A bill in the Legislature would increase the amount of assets people are allowed to have and still qualify for the program.
A small retirement account is the only asset some people have, said Rebekah Barger, IDA program manager at Neighborworks Umpqua, and expanding the IDA program makes sense for them.
"We're stumbling upon situations more and more where people have money in a retirement account, but they can't access that account without a severe penalty, and it is excluding them from participating in the program." Barger said.
The bill, HB 2316, would allow a person with up to $60,000 in a retirement account to qualify for the Oregon IDA savings program as long as he or she meets the other income guidelines.
The CFED "Assets & Opportunity Scorecard" is online at assetsandopportunity.org/scorecard.
