Taylor Swift Reveals Secrets About 'Sweeter Than Fiction' [VIDEO]
Subscribe to PopCrush on
Taylor Swift gave us some short, but sweet insight into the song 'Sweeter Than Fiction,' which she co-wrote with Jack Antonoff of fun. The '80s-inspired song is featured on the 'One Chance' soundtrack.
We love how she says, "Hi, I'm Taylor," in the intro, as if she's not one of the most recognizable faces and people in the world. It's just T. Swizzle being T. Swizzle — super adorbs.
We see footage of Swift dancing and laughing in the studio, headphones and all. She's clearly in her element when she is recording and making music.
"The struggles and triumphs of someone who never stopped chasing what he was after really inspired me," Swift said. Swift always sides with the underdog, doesn't she?
This clip also features lots of footage from the film, which tells the story of Paul Potts, who pursued his dreams of being an entertainer against all odds and appeared on and won his season of 'Britain's Got Talent.'
"It's a beautiful movie," Swift said. "I just wanted to share it with as any people as I could."

Sacramento Economy To Outpace Rest of State
California's economic recovery is expected to accelerate late this year and into 2015.
The latest forecast from the University of the Pacific anticipates Sacramento growth rates will be higher than the state average while lowering the region's unemployment rate to 7.3% over the next two years.
"A lot of it's related to recovery in the housing market which has been down for so long and really has been responsible for the majority of the job loss and the problems associated with this recession," said Dr. Jeff Michael.
Dr. Michael, a University Economist, continued to say the state's economic recovery is moving inland with above-average job growth also forecast for Stockton, Modesto and Merced.
A drought-related decline in farm jobs will keep Fresno from enjoying such improvement.

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Multnomah County Records Inventory
Probate Estate Records
Series documents information recorded about estates probated in the county or circuit courts. Information includes deceased party's name; recording and death dates; residence; name and address of executors, administrators, or trustees; estimated values of real and personal property; inventory and appraisal dates; the estate's value according to the appraisals and to the county court; and the names and relationship of heirs. Records may also document actions related to guardianships. Over the years probate jurisdiction has been transferred from the county court to the circuit court in most counties. However, the county courts in Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Sherman, and Wheeler Counties continue to hear probate cases.

The truth that office Christmas parties have become dull is nowhere more ably demonstrated than by the fact that no one can even be bothered to make new jokes about them any more. People will come out with one of two witticisms. The first one is about getting off with "Brian from accounts", even though, for one thing, all accounts departments have been called finance since about 1987. The second is about photocopying your genitals. Has anyone in the history of the world ever really done that? And it's the 21st century! At the very least can we joke about using the office intranet to upload to Facebook a picture of your genitals?
But we do all like an office party. Your company puts enough money behind the bar to buy you all a warm Babycham, you get a chance to demonstrate that you don't dress exclusively in unironed shirts and, should you work for the only company in the country that still has an accounts department and Brian from it has taken your fancy, well, now is your opportunity to do something about it.
But that doesn't mean we should settle for the same old bowls of crisps and DJs. We must save our office parties from their prison of tedium and cliche. Which is all very well - but how does one behave at a skydiving party? Or dress for a burlesque event? Office Hours has the answers.
What the party is Firewalking, as arranged by extreme events company Ex Element.
What to wear Asbestos boots, if you're allowed. You probably won't be.
To drink Leave highly alcoholic - ie, flammable - drinks until you've done your walk. Do not request a Flaming Sambuca.
To eat It would be a shame to waste all those glowing coals: roast some marshmallows, why don't you?
What the company thinks it's saying If you discover that you can walk on hot coals you'll be infused with the confidence that - yes! - you can beat next year's targets.
What everyone really thinks Is it really worth having a job that requires you to set yourself on fire?
Best bits Watching your hated line manager hop on the coals like a fat businessman on a barbecue. Which is what he is.
Worst bits You do understand you will to be made to walk on fire, don't you?
Make a break for it If you still have feet.
What the party is A Dickens Of A Christmas: a special Dickens-themed venue (think A Christmas Carol, not Bleak House) under London Bridge, at a cost of £1.2m.
What to wear Crinolines. Bonnets. Sideburns. Calipers.
To drink Mulled wine infused with festive spirit. This is Christmas! And magic! And you will be enchanted! Or else!
To eat A turkey as big as Tiny Tim.
What the company thinks it's saying We're no Scrooges.
What everyone really thinks Brilliant! Now I can make loads of Scrooge jokes.
Best bits It is like having a party in a Christmas card.
Worst bits Your tolerance for the twee and the winsome might be somewhat tested.
Make a break for it If you think you can see the Ghost of Christmas Past. For one, you are drunk and hallucinating. For another, he can really put a downer on a party.
What the party is The Airkix wind tunnel in Milton Keynes. It offers the experience of skydiving without requiring you to be in the sky.
What to wear How do you feel about a relentlessly unflattering bodysuit? Tough, you are wearing it anyway.
To drink Nothing, you will throw up.
To eat Nothing, you will throw up. Listen to me!
What the company thinks it's saying Our crazy gang is too cool for a boring event with booze and music. Come on, cut loose!
What everyone really thinks If we were really skydiving, I would cut them loose. From their parachutes.
Best bits Realising how much worse it would be on a plane.
Worst bits The state of your hair after hanging out in 150mph wind.
Make a break for it When the instructor says, "How about we turn this baby up to 200mph?"
What the party is Immodesty Blaize, queen of British burlesque, performing at Ascot's Carnevale di Venezia.
What to wear Something that would get you arrested anywhere else.
To drink Champagne from a lady's slipper.
To eat Anything you can suck off your fingers, while gazing lasciviously at the systems manager.
What the company thinks it's saying We're all grown-ups here. Let's party.
What everyone really thinks Could I complain to HR about this?
Best bits The nice lady taking her clothes off, if you like that kind of thing.
Worst bits The nice lady taking her clothes off, if you don't.
Make a break for it If anyone tries to make you take your clothes off.
What the party is Private cocktail-mixing classes at the City Inn, Manchester.
What to wear Something wipe-clean, if you're going to fling the shaker around.
To drink Have a wild guess.
To eat Glace cherries, lime wedges ...
What the company thinks it's saying Would you like to get drunk on us?
What everyone really thinks Yes, please!
Best bits Realising you actually could make a mojito at home.
Worst bits Discovering lemonade makes Baileys curdle.
Make a break for it If you accidentally stab your boss with a cocktail umbrella.
What the party is The Pharoah's Palace, at The O2 in London, to coincide with the Tutankhamun exhibition.
What to wear Well, a King Tut death mask would probably be a bit tasteless.
To drink Oh, ask an archaeologist. I don't know. Coconut milk?
To eat I'm going to say ... dates.
What the company thinks it's saying You're cultured, sophisticated, intelligent. You can be trusted to party among the treasures of a great civilisation.
What everyone really thinks Cool! It's just like being in Night at the Museum!
Best bits Viewing the exhibition at leisure, glass in hand.
Worst bits Knocking over priceless artefact; releasing an ancient Egyptian curse.
Make a break for it If it turns out that I wasn't joking about the ancient curse. (A plague of scarab beetles will be a clue.)
What the party is Join-A-Party at the Roof Gardens in Kensington, London. The idea being that different groups share tables and everyone has a high old time.
What to wear Something you do not mind perfect strangers seeing you in.
To drink Enough to take the edge off your social inhibitions; not so much that they dissolve completely.
To eat Anything you aren't going to spill down your front.
What the company thinks it's saying You're accomplished networking professionals.
What everyone really thinks They just don't want us to gather in cliquey groups, bitching. Even though that is totally the best thing about work parties.
Best bits Finding yourself opposite a charming, attractive and single stranger.
Worst bits You are not single.
Make a break for it If you end up on a table alone. If people who don't know you don't want to sit with you, go home.
What the party is Your bog-standard office party.
What to wear An outfit that has been the subject of 17 discussions with colleagues over the previous fortnight. Get changed into it during a process that starts at 4.30pm and turns the loos into a cross between a hair salon and a couturier's studio.
To drink Complimentary white wine (paint stripper), red wine (red paint stripper), beer (fizzy liquid that tastes like it maybe once met some real beer).
To eat Not enough. Hence the extraordinary potency of the above drinks.
What the company thinks it's saying This is how much we value our staff!
What everyone really thinks This is how much they value their staff?
Best bits Dancing to Abba! Realising you love your colleagues! Realising you really love one of them in particular and choosing to express that in a physical way.
Worst bits As above.
Make a break for it While your dignity, professional reputation and clothing are still intact.

Anchor, television host and 60 MINUTES contributor Anderson Cooper discussed his temporary blindness, CNN and reporting in danger zones in an interview with co-hosts Charlie Rose, Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell that was broadcast live today, Dec. 6, 2012, on CBS THIS MORNING on the CBS Television Network (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM).
Below are excerpts from the interview:
KING: Your life is never dull. Anderson Cooper, I saw the picture that you tweeted. That was very scary stuff. What exactly happened to you?
COOPER: I was on an assignment for 60 MINUTES and I was in Portugal in a beautiful spot doing a story on the water, and it was a very windy day. I was only on the water for like two hours. It was an overcast day and I burned my eyeballs. I didn't even know think was possible, but I woke up that night, like, eight hours later with excruciating pain and I couldn't see, and—
KING: Is it because your eyes are blue? I'm not trying to be funny, I heard it happens—
COOPER: I read people with lighter eyes have a greater issue with this, but you can burn your eyes just like you can burn your skin.
ROSE: But what do you do to burn your eyeballs?
COOPER: I don't know. I don't think I did anything different. I was on a crew team in college, I was on the water every single day of my life. I don't know if it's because I'm older. The doctor said because it was windy that it might have had something to do with it. UV light bouncing off water, same thing that happens to people, like snow blindness. People on snow, sometimes this happens, and it burns your eyeballs, and it feels like, I mean, I didn't know what it was for hours. It feels like you have sand in your eyes. That's what I thought I had.
KING: Did you see your career flash before your eyes?
COOPER: I did. Literally it was in the middle of the night I woke up with this excruciating pain, and I couldn't see and I'm thinking, Jeff Zucker has just taken over CNN. I haven't even met with the guy. I'm going to be blind. How am I going to adapt? At like, 1:00 AM, you know—your mind starts to play tricks with you.
ROSE: It's much tougher to dodge bullets when you're blind.
COOPER: Yeah. And I literally could not see my hand in front of my face.
KING: Did you have on sunglasses?
COOPER: No. I don't like wearing sunglasses. That's the thing. So now I have to wear sunglasses all the time.
KING: Small price to pay.
ROSE: Before we leave this, tell me how you think, what changes might be coming at CNN? In other words, what's the challenge for CNN?
COOPER: Look, I don't know. I mean I think CNN has a great brand, and is a great place and has really dedicated journalists, and like CBS, there's not a lot of places that have journalists working out in the field and CBS is one of them. And CNN is a place expanding with bureaus, and that's important to us, and that's in our DNA.
O'DONNELL: I worked for Jeff Zucker for many years. He says in taking over CNN he wants to have more passion. Do you think you can meet that bill?
COOPER: I think—I certainly hope so. Look, a lot of passion in people there and I think, you know, we've always done well when things are happening and it's in the slower times that we've run into problems, and I hope we figure it all out.
KING: There's a big story in New York with the photographer who didn't help the man who ultimately was killed on the subway. And Anderson, you've been in predicaments where you can see something happening, you're working on a story. You recently had something that happened to you with a little boy.
COOPER: Oh, in Haiti. Yeah. That was—yeah. That was an incident where somebody threw a concrete block on to a little boy in Haiti and opened up his skull, and he was bleeding from the head and everyone was running away from him. And it was interesting because I initially started running towards him to take the picture. I took like two steps and I continued running and thought, "this is ridiculous, I don't need to take a picture." I went and I just grabbed the kid and ran with him. I don't want to make a big deal of it or anything, but it was an incident where I felt it was more important to get involved to help this person than to take a picture.
ROSE: Did you think what you were exposed to in Gaza was more precarious than other situations you've been involved in?
COOPER: No, I didn't, honestly, because I think there were targeted strikes. You know, look. Missiles are blunt instruments, and innocent people get killed in them, but Israel, it's not indiscriminate shelling. In Sarajevo, where I was, that was indiscriminate shelling. Mortars would land and you'd have no idea where the mortars would land. In Israel's towns, you have no idea where Hamas rockets are going to land.
ROSE: Nor does Hamas.
COOPER: Yes. At least there is a general idea that there is targeting involved. Now, you may not know who else is in your building, and that's the danger. We're operating in a building, and who knows if Hamas has an office on the lower floor. But I watched Israel put three rockets into the second floor of a building, they didn't destroy the entire building, they hit what they thought was their target on the second floor. So I was worried in that I didn't know who else was around me and could there be a rocket launching site right next door to me or an office below me? Absolutely. But it was not the kind of fear of indiscriminate shelling which you get in Syria, where Bashar Al Assad is just shelling his own people.

Rear Disc Brake Conversion - two trucks 79 & 96
I've got two trucks that I need to do rear brake work on. One is a 79 Chevy. It has a full floating 14 bolt axle that I am putting under it. Its work to take the thing apart to replace the brakes (axles have to come out), which are drums that I HATE and can never get right. There are brackets on ebay that bolt on and will allow the use of factory parts to put disc brakes on the rear. I feel this will give a much nicer pedal (no adjustment to worry about which is where I seem to have the most problems at, they never seem to stay adjusted or auto adjust like they should and I cant be mixing the sides all up on every brake i ever work on) So. I think I can do this swap easily. The other truck is a 96 Chevy. 14 bolt semi floating axle. Not as hard to work on, but still it needs brake work and I cant get them to work right either it seems. The pedal on everything has to go down farther that id like before they start working. I've driven 4 wheel disc brake vehicles and they have a nice firm pedal and great stopping power.
Now the question is, is it worth it and does it work like it should?
The kits I see use mid 70s caddy rear calipers which have a built in parking brake. They say you can also use FRONT calipers from a mid 70s 4x4 chevy truck which is also what you get rotors for. The problem i have is that i've heard the caddy calipers are crappy and failure prone. The truck calipers would be fine but that means no parking brake.
The best thing about this kit is the parts are all available at the parts stores. I wouldnt have to order special pads from the internet somewhere for an aftermarket brake conversion (like wilwood or something)
What are your thoughts on this swap? anyone done it?
Just a bit more info. Trucks will be used to tow trailers. The 79 is getting a 454 and right now has a TH400 but thinking about a built 700r4. It has a 4.10 gear and of course the 14 bolt full floating axle. Not posi right now but will be soon. The 96 has a 6.5 diesel with a 4L80E and a 14 bolt semi floating axle with, sadly, 3.42 gears and a crappy gov lock posi (will be true track someday). I think the rear disc brakes would help the trucks tremendously both pulling trailers and not. (I do have electric brakes for the trailer but i still get some pulling to one side due to misadjustment of the brakes on the trucks that I can never get right)
The Caddy calipers are GARBAGE, I was working for a Chevy dealer back then, and they did redesigns on parts for them at least 6 times, never did get it right, I'd look at upgrading to later model disc brakes with a separate E-brake.
i think you should stick with rthe drums heres a little trick for you , after adjusting the drums pump the pedal a few time then re adjust the brakes helps to center up the shoes keep doing this till its hard to turn the drum then back off a bit some drag is to be expected
(this is spoken without a negro dialect)
my truck is on a 79 frame. this conversion you are talking about is only gonna be good if you are using the booster/master cylinder and porportioning valve off a truck that came from the factory with the 14 bolt rear end.
yes the bracket is all you need. you may have to grind a hump off the calipers or maybe not. if you dont have all the extra 1979 type stuff you will probably have issues and at least will have to get an adjustable porportioning valve to make them work.
my truck stops on a dime and gives you back change. well worth it. but i didn't have to do anything other than replace the drums with a disc brake kit, which was all stock stuff like you said, except for the bracket.
i don't know dick about the 1995 rig.
Thanks for the reply. I can get the 3/4 ton MC and parts no problem. How does the pedal feel on your truck? Does it begin to slow the truck down the moment you hit the pedal or does it sink down a bit and then start slowing it down? I drove an 08 1 ton with rear disc a few times and since disc brakes have almost no clearance between the pads and the rotors, the truck has virtually no give in the pedal before it begins to slow down.
My truck, even with the drums adjusted too tight, there is still some give in the pedal before the brakes start working. Id like to eliminate that and of course the hassle that the drum brakes are anyways. There are many reason, less brake fade, no need for manual adjustment, better stopping power, etc etc. But mainly id like the brakes to come on quicker like that one ton.

U.S. museums cutting back due to recession
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Museums in New York and Philadelphia are cutting jobs, slashing salaries and closing stores because their endowments have been pounded by declines in donations, government aid and investment returns.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is closing 15 of its merchandising stores across the United States, leaving only eight stores open in New York. It will cut about 250 jobs, or 10 percent of its workforce, before July 1.
The museum, founded more than 130 years ago and prominently located alongside Central Park, has lost about $800 million from its endowment since mid-2008, when it was worth about $2.9 billion, spokesman Harold Holzer said. There were no plans to cut exhibits.
"It's a very strange economic climate we are in," Holzer said.
The Met is a nonprofit institution whose funding sources include its endowment, government aid, private donations and admission revenues.
Holzer said that based on endowment losses alone, the Met would have to cut $2.2 million from its $220 million operating budget in the next fiscal year. He added that cuts in the operating budget could total up to $20 million, taking in retail cutbacks and other losses.
The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia announced a hiring freeze on Friday and said it would cut salaries by 5 percent. Its endowment and other investments dropped to less than $40 million from $60 million in early 2008.
Attendance was down at both museums as art lovers tightened their belts during the global recession. The Met said foreign visitors, who are more likely to pay the suggested $20 voluntary admission fee, also dropped. Continued...

All Critics (250) | Top Critics (53) | Fresh (232) | Rotten (18) | DVD (4)
I found myself dreaming of the days when Willis would take a rest from Die Hard-ing to do character cameos of unexpected depth and pathos: Pulp Fiction, Nobody's Fool, and a few others. Now he clings to stoic longevity, and shoots people.
Yes, it's a B movie sci-fi thriller, but not many prestige pictures have this much going on underneath the surface.
That first hour cooks. And the second hour brings Emily Blunt into the story, which is a fine thing for any second half to offer.
If the whole thing leaves you rubbing your temples, just a bit... well, this headache's sort of worth it.
The reasoning behind all this may not reward prolonged inspection, but Johnson is smart enough to press onward with his plot, leaving us with neither the time nor the desire to linger over the logic ...
Writer-director Rian Johnson establishes himself as an original talent who clearly believes storytelling must prevail.
Audience Reviews for Looper
A very smart and thought-provoking science-fiction that injects some thrilling action scenes in a compelling time travel narrative and deserves special praise for its great direction, fine acting and for respecting our intelligence like any first-rate sci-fi should.
Super Reviewer
Spoiler ------------------------------------Wasn't impressed with that stupid ending at all. I hated that you get to care about the younger and older looper and then it all gets thrown away at the end for that horrible brat. Sorry. Ruined the whole movie. I agree, this movie does feel like it's in two separate parts, and for me it's all downhill when he gets to the farm and meets Emily Blunt's character.
Super Reviewer
Contract killers from the future are sent back in time to be terminated by their younger selves, but one man is able to escape certain death. Helluva twisty ride, and despite the time travel concept and JGL's ridiculous Bruce Willis make-up, it's much more sensical than Rian Johnson's debut "Brick." The first act still retains Johnson's penchant for quick cool patois, but it's used as straightforward exposition and not verbose McGuffins. The second act relies on some icky "saved by the love of a good woman" tripe, but the introduction of Emily Blunt's character as a fiercely protective mother of the future's sociopathic despot is surprisingly raw and heartbreaking. I wouldn't say the ending is predictable, but when it came, I thought, "Oooof cooourse. It's the most logical ending." So yeah, the movie is pretty satisfying as a whole, but the looping quality makes for a Terminator paradox. If "this" never happened, why would "that" need to happen in the future, you know what I mean?

LA Times left unchallenged ANWR drilling supporters' misleading claim that refuge contains "10 billion barrels" of oil
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
A November 10 Los Angeles Times article reporting that Republican leaders in the House of Representatives had agreed to drop provisions allowing oil drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) from its package of spending cuts repeated, without challenge, the estimate by drilling supporters that "10 billion barrels of oil lie beneath the refuge's tundra." In fact, as Media Matters for America has documented (here and here), that 10-billion-barrel figure comes from a 1998 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) assessment of the entire ANWR area -- but the ANWR proposal passed by the Senate and currently headed to conference committee negotiations with the House -- authorizes oil development and production only in the "Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 1002 Coastal Plain Area," which is smaller than the area USGS surveyed in making its assessment. The USGS found this smaller region's average likely amount of "technically recoverable" oil to be 7.7 billion barrels -- not 10 billion.
The USGS also assessed how much of the technically recoverable oil would be economically feasible to obtain from the "1002" area, given a certain price of oil. The current price of oil is $57.90 a barrel (approximately $46 in 1996 dollars). While the USGS did not continue its analysis beyond $40 a barrel (1996 dollars), if the trend shown until that point were to continue, an average of approximately 7 billion barrels of oil would be economically recoverable.
From the November 10 Los Angeles Times article headlined "House Drops Bid to Open Refuge, Coasts to Drilling":
Drilling supporters estimate that 10 billion barrels of oil lie beneath the refuge's tundra. The United States consumes about 20 million barrels of oil a day. Drilling opponents contend that opening the area to oil exploration would endanger wildlife and spoil a unique environment while doing little to bring down gasoline prices, because it would be years before any oil discovered could reach the marketplace.

What happens if you mix tile grout incorrectly?
If you make grout too watery, do you have to throw it away? Or can you wait until it becomes denser? Since the instruction for mixing it are so time specific, I would assume the later.
It depends on how watery it gets. little over done isn't bad but too much isn't good. The grout is basically a cement type product and loses it's strength when diluted too much. The plus side is that you can always re-grout if an area becomes loose or starts to flake.
Over watering grout will weaken it if not ruin it entirely. It can also cause color variances.
Yep - too much water in grout account for most grout issues people have
I know it seems counter-intuitive since you need water to mix it - but unlike mud, too much is bad.
I left the mix in a bucket, and a couple of hours later it had thickened up. But I decided not to use it. After all that time chemical changes would ruin it, right?
To much risk to take a chance---you did the right thing--

John Grisham's "The Confession." - his most Christian book yet.
Progressive Christianity
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
I just finished reading John Grisham's The Confession and was impressed by how Christian it was. I've read nearly all his books (nothing to brag about, I know) and he's long had a Christian streak but in this book he doesn't hide his admiration for liberal Christianity.
I don't want to oversell the book but it is nice to read a popular book that has portrays a liberal/mainstream pastor in a good light.
Thank-you, alfredd, for this post: I've been looking for an excuse to finally read a book by John Grisham :)
P.S. I'm a new person here at LT and still haven't figured out this Touchstones thing: is that how the author and title in your post came to be highlighted? What did you do to make it so? Sorry for such a general question, but am really dazzled and dazed by the depth and breadth of this site.
Welcome Khrystyna. For touchstones, put single square brackets around the title and double square brackets around the author. You should see instructions and examples of touchstones just to the right of the message box.

Has NASA discovered life on Mars? Space agency hints at 'historic' discovery
It could be one of the most important discoveries in the history of NASA.
U.S. space agency officials reportedly are planning to announce a "major" discovery in December, leading to speculation that some form of life may have been discovered on Mars.
"This data is gonna be one for the history books," NASA's Curiosity chief scientist John Grotzinger, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, told NPR on Tuesday, sparking speculation among the astronomy community. "It's looking really good."
It remains unclear what exactly NASA officials have discovered on the Red Planet. The discovery is reportedly the result of recent research conducted on Mars by Curiosity. The rover has spent the last several weeks roaming the planet in an effort to collect samples of soil and study the martian atmosphere. Speaking earlier this week NASA officials said the data collected during one of these missions led to the discovery.
"We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting," Mr. Grotzinger notes. "The science team is busily chewing away on it as it comes down."
Over the coming weeks, NASA scientists will reportedly study the data in an effort to pin down the exact finding, according to various reports. The announcement comes just weeks after NASA said they have yet to find evidence that the planet most like Earth in the solar system has methane, a gas tied to biological processes.
That said, it has been noted that the discovery could relate to an earlier mission aimed at measuring radiation levels on the planet. Researchers announced earlier this month that data collected during a mission yielded surprising results, including the potential detection of methane. Using the car-sized mobile laboratory, NASA researchers said at the time that they had identified transient whirlwinds, mapped winds in relation to slopes, tracked daily and seasonal changes in air pressure, and linked rhythmic changes in radiation to daily atmospheric changes. The knowledge gained about these processes could have provided scientists with evidence about environmental changes on Mars that might have led to conditions favorable for life.
In between now and then, the rover is expected to continue its mission. During a Thanksgiving break, the team will use Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam) from Point Lake to examine possible routes and targets to the east. A priority is to choose a rock for the first use of the rover's hammering drill, which will collect samples of powder from rock interiors, according to researchers.
The $2.5 billion Curiosity rover landed inside Mars' Gale Crater in early August. During a two-year prime mission, researchers will use Curiosity's ten instruments to assess whether the study area ever has offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life. The mission is seen as a key test for studying whether a manned mission to the planet is possible.

Meg Ryan and Matthew Perry? That just doesn't seem right to me. I do know that at least one part of the story is true. He is definitely not dating Lizzy Caplan anymore. Not that I would really call it dating anyway.
What exactly is Denise Richards doing on the beach?
This Norwegian website has zeroed in on a little black tube of something which she then applies to her face, and then zeroes in on her nose where something is clearly visible. I am NOT making any assumptions or inferences, I just think they are interesting photos. The website has the photos really blown up and zoomed in close if you are curious.

Mourinho's reputation has taken a battering in Madrid as Real stutter this season, with the Portuguese's antics rather unpopular in Spain.
In a message recorded for the Football Association to mark their 150th birthday, Mourinho said: "I know that one day I will come back because English football means a lot to myself … Of course, it's impossible, but I feel everybody involved in the game should experience English football because it's a special feeling. You really enjoy being a football professional there."
What is your opinion? Feel free to discuss the article under. You have to comment by using your Facebook profile. Be fair and have respect for other people and opinions!
Being an amiable guy is good for you and Jurgen Klopp is living proof.
Summer 2016 is set to be a very exciting time for football fans, as this is when the long awaited Euro 2016 tournament kicks off.

Last week, journalist James McWilliams posted a brief, stinging, eloquent blog at Forbes.com about how the low-budget film "Blackfish" is taking on a multi-billion dollar company, and may be winning. The piece won him few friends among editors at the website, who told him to alter it to include favorable information on SeaWorld. He refused, quitting his freelance gig and earning high marks from whale and dolphin lovers everywhere. Sadly today, too many reporters just do as they're told, like stenographers. Not this one. As McWilliams told me in a recent interview: "Forbes.com went right, and I went left."
Q) What inspired you to write this piece?
I write almost daily about animal-related issues, either on my own blog or for various publications, so I'm constantly seeking relevant topics to cover. In this case, my son, who is eleven, kept pushing me to watch the documentary "Blackfish." We viewed it together and, indeed, that kid was onto something. It was a powerful film. So I decided to post a brief piece at Forbes.com.
Q) How did you research the blog?
My research involved exploring the question at the core of the film: do the conditions of captivity frustrate orcas to the point where they harm their handlers? It strikes me as a fascinating hypothesis. An overwhelming body of evidence, much of it presented in the film, indicated that the answer was "yes." This point seemed worth highlighting for my Forbes readers. But, do note, the post did not require tremendous investigative work. After all, the point of it was simply to show how a low-budget documentary with a compelling thesis could put a well-documented message in the public sphere and, in so doing, deliver a social media lashing to a Goliath of an institution.
Q) Clearly, your immediate editor approved the piece. What happened?
Clearly? At Forbes.com contributors post articles on their own.Whatever editing happens at Forbes.com does so after the piece goes live, again, at least in my experience. I'm speculating a bit here, (but) what happens is editors scan headlines of posted pieces to see if there are any red flags and, if a hot piece begins to generate a lot of traffic, or motivate complaints, they hone in and take a more careful look at it. A conversation with my immediate editor after my resignation ended on a positive note: we saw each other's perspective but cordially agreed to disagree.
Q) What changes did Forbes.com want you to make?
I was asked to make changes reflecting conventional journalistic practice. This, in addition to the fact that the requests were not applied consistently, does not necessarily make those changes right. Why, for example, should I lend a SeaWorld representative space to spout some boilerplate propaganda about orcas being happy in captivity? I'm sorry, but that's not the kind of writing I want to do. I don't write as an "objective" journalist, at least not in the sense of seriously entertaining the possibility that it might be fine for orcas to be held in captivity. I come at my work with a clearly defined, pro-animal perspective. In this case, the problem came down to (this): what's reasonable for conventional journalism is a status quo that turns too many journalists into bullhorns for the power elite. My experience at Forbes.com led me to realize that much of the conventional media demands that writers assume this impotent role. I find that sad.
Q) Many people think you gave up a full-time job. True?
If you ever need a reminder that you shouldn't trust everything you read get yourself into the news. Indeed, a trite sort of hero narrative developed around me, particularly around the idea that I fell on a financial sword for my principles. It's a good story, and I did stick to my principles, but none of it is as dramatic or economically consequential as it appears. Forbes.com paid me a nominal fee to write for them. If anything, I can now make more money writing for publications that pay better than Forbes. I (also) have a day job: I'm a university professor. My advocacy for animals isn't about money. It's about doing what's right.
Q) Is there any connection between Forbes and The Blackstone Group?
That's easy to find out with a Google search. What I can offer is that the editor with whom I corresponded with at Forbes.com assured me there was no communication between Blackstone and Forbes about my story.
Q) What are your personal views on orca captivity?
SeaWorld has held between 60-70 whales in captivity. Ten of them, and maybe more, have caused harm or death to a human. In the wild, orcas do not harm humans. In all of recorded history there has been one orca attack on a human in the wild (non-fatal), and it was most likely an accident (surfer in a wet suit). So, I think that orcas should never be held in captivity. It's always bad for orcas, often bad for trainers, and a cash cow for executives who will say anything to keep the veil over the truth.
Q) How can journalism advance this debate?
You can't quote an animal for the animal's perspective, but you can, and are often forced to, quote the perspective of the human who profits from that animal's exploitation. I thus think it's critical that writers covering issues involving animal rights cultivate audiences through non-conventional media outlets. If anything, my extensive experience in the mainstream media has, with some exceptions, driven home a depressing message: the rules of conventional journalism are rigged to allow powerful interests to quash the animal perspective.
Q) What's next for you?
One of my favorite songwriters, Bill Callahan, has this great line: "You've got to bust up a sidewalk sometimes to get people to gather around." So, in the spirit of that message, I'll keep writing for the sake of the sentient creatures that deserve to be heard a lot more than the people who keep them in tanks and ask them to do flips for cash.

A lone road winner among eight games in Round 12, which saw a thrilling games and even more thrilling plays, has left a clear leader, a four-way tie on victories for second place and two teams new to the top eight who were not there a week ago.
In a thriller that literally came down to the final second, Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz edged Unics Kazan 91-92. The game saw three lead changes in the final 7 seconds; Shane Larkin hit a rainbow three-pointer over Art Parakhouski to give Baskonia an 88-90 lead, Keith Langford answered for Unics from beyond the arc, but Shengelia sank the game-winning free throws with 1.8 seconds left. Larkin led the winners with 22 points and 6 assists and Shengelia added 19 on 10-of-11 free throw shooting; he had hit 15 of 27 (55.6%), entering this game. Langford led Unics with 28 points and Quino Colom added 23 points and 6 assists.
Darussafaka Dogus Istanbul scalped another big name at Volkswagen Arena by beating Real Madrid 81-68 on Thursday night. Coach David Blatt's men have now defeated the past two EuroLeague champs. Madrid led by 10 in the second quarter, but Darussafaka held the visitors scoreless for the last five minutes of the second quarter and the first three of the third during which they reeled off 17 straight points and never looked back. Brad Wanamaker set a career-high with 27 points on 4-of-6 three-point shooting to lead the winners. Felipe Reyes led Madrid with 16 points, which took him past Jaka Lakovic and Milos Teodosic for fourth place on the EuroLeague's all-time scoring charts with 2,538 points.
Olympiacos Piraeus took over a close game in the final quarter to take home a 75-88 victory against Zalgiris in Kaunas, where the Reds had lost by 30 last season. The final score was deceptive after 23 lead changes and 10 ties in the first 30 minutes, but Olympiacos owned the last 10 to run away with the victory. Olympiacos filled the box score with six double-figure scorers, led by Matt Lojeski and Kostas Papanikolaou with 16 each. Georgios Printezis added 15, but limped off in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Paulius Jankunas paced Zalgiris with 18 points and 7 rebounds.
Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade registered its largest-ever Turkish Airlines EuroLeague win, routing Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv 83-58 on Thursday night at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in the Serbian capital. Zvezda not only won by the biggest margin in EuroLeague action, but also allowed its fewest points in a single EuroLeague game, besting its previous mark of 59. This game also marked the first time in a EuroLeague game that one team – in this case Maccabi - did not shoot a single free throw. Zvezda took the lead for good in the first quarter, finished the first half up 42-24, and led 59-28 midway through the third quarter. Marko Simonovic scored 14 points and Ognjen Kuzmic added 12 to lead five Zvezda scorers in double figures.
Brose Bamberg grabbed its second consecutive win by downing Anadolu Efes Istanbul 91-83 at home on Thursday. Fabien Causeur paced the winners with 28 points - a new EuroLeague career-high - on 8-of-9 two-point shooting and 3-of-5 three-pointers. Darius Miller added 17 points. The victory marked the first time Bamberg won back-to-back games this season. Jayson Granger led Efes with 23 points and Derrick Brown collected 18 points and 11 rebounds in defeat.
Galatasaray Odeabank Istanbul survived a late challenge from EA7 Emporio Armani Milan for an 83-80 victory on Friday at Abdi Ipekci Arena. Vladimir Micov scored a career-high 23 points and Alex Tyus delivered a pair of spectacular blocks before scoring the go-ahead with a put-back as Galatasaray won its fourth straight home game to improve to 4-8 on the season. Galatasaray led for nearly all of the first three quarters, with the margin reaching 14 in the third before Milan roared back. The fourth quarter would feature six lead changes and five ties before Galatasaray wrested away the victory. Blake Schilb scored 17 points and dished 5 assists for the winners and Tyus posted 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks. Rakim Sanders scored 18 points to lead Milan, which fell to 4-8.
Milos Teodosic starred with a double-double and CSKA Moscow was hot from long range to continue its winning streak at home by downing FC Barcelona Lassa 92-76 in the Russian capital on Friday. The victory marked CSKA's 17th consecutive home win and improved its record to a league-leading 11-1. The loss dropped Barcelona to 5-7. The hosts had a strong start and opened an 18-point lead early in the second quarter, but a 0-14 run spanning the second and third quarters put Barcelona in front. However, a little bit of Teodosic magic and hitting 15 three-pointers on 23 attempts paved CSKA's way to victory. Teodosic had 16 points and 11 assists and Cory Higgins netted 23 points with 5 steals for the winners. Victor Claver scored 17 points with 6 rebounds for Barcelona.
In the Round 12 finale on Friday, Panathinaikos Superfoods Athens grabbed its third consecutive home win by topping Fenerbahce Istanbul 81-70. Panathinaikos improved to 7-5, while Fenerbahce dropped to 8-4. Nick Calathes flirted again with a triple-double, collecting 16 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals to pace the winners. Demetris Nichols added 14 points, K.C. Rivers and James Feldeine 10 each. James Nunnally led Fenerbahce with 21 points while Kostas Sloukas added 13 . The Panathinaikos defense limited Fenerbahce to low shooting percentages - 45.7% inside the arc, 35.3% from downtown – to win the game. Panathinaikos also committed just 3 turnovers, a club record in EuroLeague play and the competition's low this season by half the next-best team.

Sid & Marty Krofft
Many of the most colorful and fondly remembered children'Äôs series of the 1970s and 1980s sprang from the imaginations of Sid and Marty Krofft. Their groundbreaking, live-action fantasy shows were mainstays of the Saturday morning airwaves, which had previously been the exclusive domain of cartoons. To this day, DVD box sets of beloved Krofft creations 'ÄúH.R. Pufnstuf,'ÄĚ 'ÄúLidsville,'ÄĚ and 'ÄúLand of the Lost'ÄĚ are brisk sellers, a testament to the artistry and charm of the Krofft brothers and the magical spell they cast on generations of TV viewers.
The Kroffts made their television debut in 1969 with NBC'Äôs 'ÄúH.R. Pufnstuf,'ÄĚ which centered on the magical adventures of boy named Jimmy, a talking flute and a six-foot dragon. The series, which introduced the brothers'Äô innovative mix of live-action and puppetry, was made into a Universal Pictures feature in 1970. The show continues to be broadcast around the world. 'ÄúPufnstuf'ÄĚ was quickly followed by 'ÄúThe Bugaloos'ÄĚ on NBC (1970) and 'ÄúLidsville'ÄĚ on ABC (1971). 'ÄúSigmund & the Sea Monsters'ÄĚ and 'ÄúLand Of The Lost'ÄĚ premiered on NBC in 1973 and in 1974, respectively. Later kids shows included 'ÄúFar Out Space Nuts,'ÄĚ 'ÄúLost Saucer'ÄĚ and 'ÄúThe Krofft Supershow,'ÄĚ which included installments of 'ÄúWonderbug,'ÄĚ 'ÄúBig Foot & Wildboy,'ÄĚ 'ÄúElectra Woman & Dyna Girl,'ÄĚ 'ÄúDr. Shrinker'ÄĚ and 'ÄúKaptain Kool and the Kongs.'ÄĚ
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Kroffts also found success as producers of popular primetime variety series such as 'ÄúThe Donny and Marie Show,'ÄĚ 'ÄúThe Brady Bunch Variety Hour,'ÄĚ 'ÄúPink Lady and Jeff'ÄĚ and the top-rated 'ÄúBarbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters.'ÄĚ Krofft puppets were also regular characters on other variety shows of the period.
In 1984, the Kroffts made the bold move of giving comedian Richard Pryor his own award-winning Saturday morning children'Äôs series on CBS, 'ÄúPryor'Äôs Place.'ÄĚ Besides capitalizing on Pryor'Äôs irreverent humor, the show explored important social issues such as child abuse, divorce and the importance of reading. The Kroffts got political in 1987 with 'ÄúD.C. Follies,'ÄĚ a satirical TV series lampooning current events with amazing, larger-than-life puppets of celebrities, politicians and newsmakers.
Proof that the appeal of the Kroffts'Äô iconic characters and timeless stories has not diminished can be found in the growing number of new fan sites online, strong sales of DVD collections and continuing enthusiasm for marathons on Nickelodeon'Äôs 'ÄúNick at Nite.'ÄĚ In addition Vivendi Home Video is releasing more of the Krofft library on DVD later this year.
A whole new generation of kids will get to enjoy the further adventures of 'ÄúH.R. Pufnstuf'ÄĚ (director Conrad Vernon) in the feature movie set up at Sony, as well as 'ÄúSigmund & the Sea Monsters'ÄĚ movie, which is set up at Universal Studios. 'ÄúElectra Woman & Dyna Girl'ÄĚ and 'ÄúLidsville'ÄĚ are at the script-writing stage.
In the meantime, Krofft is helping Joe Ruby and Ken Spears find a home for their fabulous collection of unpublished Jack Kirby characters.
As Marty likes to say with a laugh, 'ÄúYou can'Äôt kill our shows with a baseball bat.'ÄĚ
But please… leave your Louisville Sluggers at home.

Aug '13
Since Saturday, I have dyed a lot of wool. I did not keep track of the amount (I dyed 20 yards just on Tuesday) but I did, of sorts, keep track of the different colors I used to dye.
At first, the used colors just got left out on the work table after the dye session was over. I know, it is hard to believe that I don't always end each dye session with a meticulous clean up & put up period but, on occasion I do not and, on Saturday, did not.
On Sunday evening, when I dyed a little more, I also left those dye colors out. Monday and Tuesday saw big marathon dyeing sessions and, by that time, it was sort of fun to see which colors I used and which ones I did not. Some of these colors were used as is and many of the others were components of dye recipes I made. While a very few colors were used more than once, I tried to avoid multiple uses of colors if I could just to see if I could do it. As it was, I used 37 of the 82 Pro Chem colors I have on hand. This was rather interesting to me as it, basically, supports my suggestion in the book that there are about 30 Pro Chem colors that one must have.
