Billy Carter is the younger brother of United States President Jimmy Carter.
Carter attended Emory University in the Atlanta area but did not complete a degree. He served four years in the United States Marine Corps, then returned to Plains to work with his brother in the family business of growing peanuts. In 1955, he married Sybil Spires (born 1938), also of Plains, Georgia. They were the parents of six: Kim, Jana, William "Buddy", Marle, Mandy and Earl, who was just 12 years old when his father died.
Billy Carter ran for mayor of Plains in 1976, but lost the election.
In 1977, he endorsed Billy Beer capitalizing upon his colorful image as a beer-drinking Southern boy that had developed in the press when his brother ran for President. Carter's name was occasionally used as a gag answer for a Washington, D.C., trouble-maker on 1970s episodes of The Match Game. Carter was known for his outlandish public behavior. For example, he once urinated on an airport runway in full view of the press and dignitaries.
In late 1978 and early 1979, Billy Carter visited Libya three times with a contingent from Georgia. He eventually registered as a foreign agent of the Libyan government and received a $220,000 loan. This led to a Senate hearing over alleged influence peddling which some in the press dubbed "Billygate." A Senate sub-committee was called To Investigate Activities of Individuals Representing Interests of Foreign Governments (Billy Carter-Libya Investigation).
Billy Beer was a beer first made in the United States of America in 1977, by the Falls City Brewing Company. It was promoted by Billy Carter, Billy Carter was selected as spokesman for the beer because his brother, who was president, was widely known to enjoy drinking beer. However, it was also known that Jimmy Carter's brand of choice was Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Written on each can were these words of endorsement, which were followed by Billy Carter's signature:
Brewed expressly for and with the personal approval of one of America's all-time great beer drinkers - Billy Carter.
I had this beer brewed just for me. I think it's the best I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot. I think you'll like it, too.
After the failure of Billy Beer, Carter sold his house to settle back taxes with the IRS.
In September 1988, Carter was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and took unsuccessful treatments for the disease. He died in Plains at the age of 51. His parents and both of his sisters also died from pancreatic cancer.

New Years Osechi Ryōri in Miami
Update: osechi ryori recap here
This is unfamiliar territory for most sushi lovers, so I thought I'd give a little background info. Some info about what it is, and details about the foods we'll enjoy on January 3, 2012. Signup info, full menu and RSVP link can all be found on our New Years Osechi Ryōri page.
First of all we're celebrating the Japanese New Year, or oshogatsu. This is one of five seasonal holidays during which these holiday meals are eaten. New Years is an important holiday, so people are busy preparing during the preceding days. After the New Year, wives traditionally refrained from cooking. For the first three days of the New Year they celebrate as all great cultures do, with great food!
The foods eaten during this festival are called osechi-ryōri, or osechi for short. These foods are served in stackable boxes called jūbako — similar to bento boxes.

Kathy Reichs is the author of the New York Times bestselling novels featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Like her protagonist, Reichs is a forensic anthropologist --- one of fewer than 100 ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology. A professor in the department of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, she is the former vice president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and serves on the National Police Services Advisory Council in Canada. Reichs's own life, as much as her novels, is the basis for the TV show "Bones," one of the longest-running series in the history of the Fox network.

Standard corporate doctrine holds that playing ones strengths is the best way to hold onto and grow a solid market position.
Unfortunately, Apple appears to have ignored this and taken a risk with the iPad, which many are struggling to see a purpose for. Surely Apple could have done something smarter?
It's not as if Apple are immune to competitive pressures. Low cost digital media players from Western Digital, Popcorn Hour and soon Boxee are rapidly making in-roads into the space occupied by the Apple TV.
Increasingly affordable network attached storage devices are also quickly gaining favour, whilst ultra cheap net-top PCs are crowding into the niche occupied by the Mac Mini. Then there's the plethora of MP3 players and of course Android portable media devices and smart phones.
For what it's worth, my money would have been on Apple bolstering its already strong position in the multimedia/home entertainment space. Apple's MacBooks, iMacs, iPods and iPhones are easily the hottest consumer electronics in the known universe and Apple has iTunes as the glue that holds this product ecosystem together.
Unfortunately getting music, TV, movies and now printed media onto this gear tends to involve powering up a PC or Mac and using iTunes.
As I've alluded to recently, iTunes has become an increasingly clunky experience.
Wouldn't it make sense for Apple to introduce what could quickly become a key component of its iTunes/iProduct ecosystem – a home iTunes server?
At the moment, using iTunes to deliver video to an Apple TV, or music to an Airport Express requires that a Mac or PC be left running. Not only is this wasteful when a more energy-efficient appliance could easily do the job, but it's also a clumsy and confusing experience.
Ironically Apple has most of the pieces in place, yet seems to have completely failed to join the dots together and deliver a truly seamless iTunes experience.
The Apple TV may be petite and elegant in its design, but the only real reason they're selling is that they're relatively easy to modify to bypass iTunes altogether.
The Airport Express is a really cool idea, however once again, you've got to have a computer running iTunes before its multimedia functions can come to the fore.
Then there's the Time Capsule. It's a truly awesome network storage appliance, but could be an awesome multimedia device. Last but by no means least, is the Mac Mini. Its cute and incredibly affordable for a full blown Mac, yet it hasn't been a big seller.
Wouldn't it make sense if Apple had of launched an iTunes appliance? Doing so wouldn't be terribly difficult. Take a Mac Mini's innards, marry them up in a bigger case with the Time Capsule and install an iTunes server on top of OSX to dish up and manage media across all Apple devices within reach of your home network.
Being managed via a browser also means it could also be sold without a keyboard, mouse and screen.
An iTunes appliance would be the missing link that'd tie all of Apple's products together. The Apple TV wouldn't need to be hacked to be practical, and using it would no longer be such a clunky experience. iPods, iPhones and iPads could not only consume music, books and video courtesy of your home network, but could also do double duty as awesome remote controllers.
Delivering multi-zone music around the house with the Airport express could finally become the practical and near seamless option that Sonos owners have enjoyed for years.
In short a dedicated energy efficient iTunes appliance that could store large amounts of multimedia content and dish it out across a home network without the complexity of running iTunes on a computer would make Apple's already strong position in the multimedia space even stronger.

The word Χριστός (Christos), translated as both Messiah and Christ, occurs 19 times in the Gospel of John. ^[1]^. The word is first used in the prologue (1:17). Messiah was an OT expectation held by most observant Jews, so there is particular significance that the first time that Jesus is called the Messiah is where John contrasts Jesus and the law of Moses.
Throughout the gospel, many people discuss whether Jesus is the Messiah, and the discussions form part of the structure of the first half of John. Early in the gospel, John declares that he is not the Messiah, but that he is preparing the way (1:20-23). He says it again later, in context to Jesus' ministry eclipsing his, and clearly indicates that Jesus was the Messiah whom he was preparing the way for (3:26-30). John pointed his disciples towards Jesus very early in the gospel, and they also believed that he was the Messiah (1:41, 49). By chapter 4, people outside of the circle of disciples were beginning to suspect that Jesus was the Messiah. Significantly, the first was a Samaritan woman (4:29). After the feeding of the 5000, the Galileans attempt to make Jesus King through force, which is a clear reference to the kingly expectations of the Messiah (6:15). Chapter 7 contains an extended discussion amongst the crowds in Jerusalem about Jesus, and the focal point is whether he is the Messiah. Many of the people believe that he is, and others believe that he is not (7:41-44). In the raising of Lazarus – which is a critical point in the Gospel – Mary declares that Jesus is the Messiah (11:27).
Throughout this discussion, Jesus only directly declares himself to be the Messiah once – to the Samaritan woman (4:25-26). However, as public opinion develops, he engages with their concerns and reasons not to believe. In chapter 7, he engages with the discussion about the Messiah's origin – some thought that his origin would be a mystery, some thought it would be Bethlehem (7:26-27, 41). In response, he declares that do know his origin, but implies that they do not, because he is from God (7:28-29). Finally, Jesus is asked the direct question, and he declares again that his works are the proof that he is the Messiah (10:24-25 cf. 7:30). The reasons for this gradual revelation are most likely the same as the reasons for the messianic secret in the synoptic Gospels. One of these is that public expectations of the Messiah were military, and people claiming to be the Messiah often started armed revolutions (ie. Bar Kokhba. cf. John 6:15).
The climax of the debate comes at the end of the first half – in the triumphal entry. There Jesus publically fulfils Messianic prophecy, and the crowd declares him to be the 'King of Israel' (12:12 ff.). However, the summary in 13:37 ff. showed that, though some put their faith in Jesus, most did not. Of those who did, many hid their faith because they were afraid of the authorities who had declared that anyone supporting Jesus would be expelled from the synagogue (7:13, 9:22, 12:42-42). This mounting opposition led to Jesus trial, and his claim to be the Messiah was the central charge against him before Pilate. Though Jesus refuses to answer directly, Pilate constantly calls him a King, and that is what is written on the notice on the cross. John also shows that Jesus death, by gathering the people of God, fulfils the prophetic expectations for the messiah (11:51-52, 12:32).
These constant discussions throughout the book show that, more than any other Gospel, John is concerned about showing Jesus to be the fulfilment of Israel's messianic expectations. In the later part of the Gospel, he reveals why:
This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent-- Jesus Christ. John 17:3 (HCSB) But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31 (HCSB) John clearly links eternal life to understanding that Jesus is the Messiah. The language is not exclusive, and so cannot be read as supplying a universal 'requirement' for salvation for all people. However, throughout the book, those who believe that he is the Messiah choose to follow him, and those who do not reject him.

The buzz: A rooftop Italian beach holiday in Hackney from the people behind nearby pizza and salumi restaurant Lardo. It has a sunny theme, with coloured garden sheds festooned with strings of plastic fruit.
The deal: If you're lucky enough to get space to sit down, it's a fun place to enjoy the end of summer. The crochet blankets come in handy as the night goes on.
Good for: Italian-inspired drinks with extensive choice of food.
Order: An unusual liqueur like the bitter cynar, made from artichokes and strangely satisfying. The chicken skewers rubbed with spicy southern Italian sausage are also delicious.
By the way: Only open until the end of September so last chance to enjoy it.

Any credibility Gerard DeGroot has is lost when one considers the length he goes to skew the facts to fit his personal agenda. One only has to look at a Feb 25, 2009 published "commentary" at: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/4807506/The-space-race-is-a-pointless-waste-of-money.html#postCommentIn it, he concludes with the following statement: "But the final word goes to Eisenhower, who once vetoed Apollo. He reminded Americans that "every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed".In reality, the actual quote attributed to President Eisenhower is a completely different message: ""Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Working parents will become "second class" staff under controversial Government plans for workers to trade employment rights for shares, the TUC warned today.
Mothers in particular will find it "incredibly tough" to work in such conditions and could be put off applying for jobs, said the union organisation.
Ministers have proposed that people give up rights on unfair dismissal, redundancy and requesting flexible working and time off for training, while mothers will be required to provide 16 weeks' notice of a firm date of return from maternity leave instead of the usual eight, in return for shares in their company.
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "Shares for rights already looks like a party conference announcement about which little more should be heard.
"The best that can be said for it is that it will be an irrelevant scheme ignored by 99% of new businesses.
"However, we are concerned that it creates an open goal for bad employers to mistreat and sack staff. Second class workers may also find that their second class shares are virtually worthless if they try to leave or are kicked out of the door.
"If the scheme does somehow take off it will be disaster for working parents and cause huge reputational damage to companies that already offer employees shares without stripping them of their rights."Reuse content

Robbery victim shoots, kills suspect at Detroit gas station | News - Home
It was 12:30 a.m. Thursday when a man was putting air in his tires at a gas station at Davison Street and Linwood in Detroit.
A suspect approached from behind with a gun drawn and tried to rob the man. However, the victim turned the tables. He took out his own gun.
From there, police say the men had a shootout. The victim was shot but managed to fir another shot at the suspect, striking him. The suspect died in a nearby alley.
"I think it's sad the guy is robbing people and sticking up people here in this neighborhood," said Mario Johnson, who live sin the area.
The Citgo gas station where this happened has been in the news before. It is the same gas station where Pastor Marvin Winans was attacked and carjacked last year. People who live in the area say they are tired of all the trouble that happens here.
"A lot of people hanging out here, but it's just a few people that are bad. You don't who is bad or not until they come up on you the wrong way. We need the protection. We need the police, so you feel safe. This is messing up the businesses and how you feel about coming here," said Johnson.

At o'dark-thirty I can think of better things to do than getting air. Sure, it was probably incidental to getting gas. But, it's Detroit. One would think fueling up would be done at some other time, on principle alone. It's not as though folks don't know the reputation and basic reality on the street, there.
That said, kudos to the citizen for doing what was needed to withstand the predation. Rest In Hades, robber, reaping your rewards.

Good to see fight in the victim. Just because you get shot, doesnt mean you have to stop fighting...Good for him...
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....

And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
Tires aren't on a schedule they get low. If you need air you need air. Insert roll eyes here. Good for the good guy.
No complaints on the guy getting air for his tires at night from me...because it is bad enough just being in DaTwa?
What a war zone...they should have free busing between Chicago and Detroit so the dirtbags can really clean house on each other.

Re: "Skip this Input cell" module?
Suppose at the start of a notebook one defines two functions
doCell[expr_] = expr ; skipCell[expr_] = Null ;
(or maybe skipCell[expr_] = Print["Input skipped"] )
that are intended to be wrapped around the full contents of certain
Input cells in order to temporarily allow or suppress execution of those
particular Input cells.
Assuming the Input cells always contain a proper sequence of executable
expressions, will these definitions have any hidden "gotchas"?
Would they be better defined with = or := ? (or as Modules?)
Should the argument be [expr_] or [expr_Expression]? (Is Expression a
Head? The Mathematica Book doesn't seem to be totally clear about this.)
Any other hidden gotchas if one defines instead
doCell[test_, expr_] = If[test, expr, Print["input skipped"]];
Thanks for advice and counsel.

Blind spot detection.
I have a question about the alert. The triangle flashes whenever I get passed L/R but there is no chime. I have it checked to do so in the settings. I just picked this vehicle up this past Friday so maybe I don't know something. .
Re: Blind spot detection.
mine only chimes when I hit the turn signal in that direction
That would make sense. The chime would otherwise be annoying with passing traffic at rush hour. If I attempt to move that's what I'd want.
Re: Blind spot detection.
Yeah, mine only chimes when i use my turn signal to change lanes and someone is in the blind spot
You can turn the sound/light or both off and on in settings. I turned the sound off.
Yep, only chimes if you activate the turn signal when the amber triangle is lit.

HS WRESTLING: Top local seeds advance at Southwest Regional
JOHNSTOWN — Opening day unfolded precisely as planned for the seven area wrestlers who earned top-five seeds in Friday's PIAA Southwest Class AA Wrestling Championships at the Cambria County War Memorial arena.
All seven of the area's seeded wrestlers advanced to this morning's semifinal-round, which began at 11 a.m.
The top five wrestlers in each weight class will advance to the PIAA championships, which begin Thursday at Hershey's Giant Center.
The following area wrestlers advanced in the winner's bracket: Blairsville's Noah Tarr (145 pounds), Drew Doak (152) and Scott Thompson (182); Ligonier Valley brothers Justin (113) and Joshua Patrick (120); Derry's Micky Phillippi (113); and United's Tyler Oliver (195).
Meanwhile, United's Charles Hropovich (182) and Marion Center's David Wiles (106) and Phil Crook (152) were eliminated in second-round consolation bouts.
Tarr (35-2), a senior and district champion who placed second at regionals a year ago at 138, received a first-round bye and then thumped West Greene's Matt Johnston, 10-2, in the quarterfinals.
A two-time state qualifier, the top-seeded Tarr will lock horns with fourth-seeded Tanner Sutton (Chartiers-Houston) in the semifinals.
"There's definitely an 'X' on Noah's back," first-year Blairsville coach D.J. Doak said.
"But there's an 'X' on your back in every round in this tournament. You don't wrestle a bad kid the whole way through. But as long as he wrestles the way he did today he'll win it all."
Doak's son, sophomore and returning regional runner-up, Drew Doak (35-1), earned a first-round bye before grinding out a 5-3 win over South Fayette's Grant Fetchet in the quarterfinals.
Doak broke a 2-2 tie in the third period with an escape and a takedown.
The top-seeded Doak, a seventh-place finisher at states last year, will square off with fifth-seeded Taylor Cahill (Conemaugh Township) in the semifinals.
"We talk about it all the time. We say, 'Build on your lead and good things will happen,'" D.J. Doak said.
"We talk about it all the time. Get that last takedown and seal the match, and that's exactly what he did."
After a first-round bye, second-seeded Thompson (14-0), a sophomore who placed third at regionals last year, scored a takedown 10 seconds into the bout and then breezed past Mount Pleasant's Justin Overly, 8-1, in the quarterfinals.
Thompson, a sixth-place finisher at states last year, will face third-seeded Terrell Fields (Valley) in the semifinals.
"Scotty looked great," D.J. Doak said. "In top position, he hit a few tilts, which we were preaching all week. We kept telling our guys, 'If you get a takedown and then you get a tilt, you're going to win.'"
Senior Josh Patrick (25-0), a third-place finisher at 113 last season at regionals, decked South Fayette's Mike Carr in 1 minute, 3 seconds in the quarterfinals.
Patrick, a two-time state placewinner and the No. 2 seed, will tangle with third-seeded Nathan Reckner (South Side Beaver) in the semifinals.
Joshua's younger brother, junior Justin Patrick (32-3), blanked Bentworth's Jake Rothka, 7-0, in the first round before shellacking Meyersdale's Bill Charlton, 14-2, in the quarterfinals.
The third-seeded Patrick, a regional champion at 106 last year, will take on second-seeded Phillippi in the semifinals.
Phillippi (36-3), the WPIAL champion, coasted past Central's Kale Burket. Phillippi had a 6-0 lead in the third period when Burket suffered a knee injury and couldn't continue. Phillippi had a first-round bye.
In today's semifinals, second-seeded Phillippi will try to avenge a loss he suffered at the hands of Patrick in the semifinals of the Westmoreland County Coaches Association Tournament on Jan. 11.
"We're excited to get another shot at Justin," Derry coach Mike Weinell said. "I think we can get him this time. Micky's wrestling well and wrestling with confidence and that's the most important thing."
Sophomore Oliver (28-1) notched a pair of workmanlike wins in his first-ever matches at regionals. The fifth-seeded Oliver first nipped Ellwood City's Brad Grinnen, 4-3, in overtime in the first round. He then scored a third-period takedown to edge South Allegheny's Seth Hitchens, 3-2, in the quarterfinals.
Oliver, a runner-up at districts, will face top-seeded Garrett Vulcano (Chartiers-Houston) in the semifinals.
"It came down to conditioning and he (Hitchens) just didn't want to shoot in the third period," first-year United coach Tim Riskus said. "His (Hitchens') legs were straight on the restart. When someone has straight legs on a restart it usually means they're gassed. Fortunately (Oliver's) in great condition because he trains outside of practice. He really trains a lot and he wants to progress. I just wish every kid on the team had that kind of heart."
NOTES: Crook placed fifth at districts and initially didn't qualify for regionals. However, an injury to West Branch's Luke Slippey gave Crook, an alternate in the weight class, a place in the bracket.

"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"The design and quality of these stylish calling cards is excellent. Different than anything else that you see and versatile to use as calling cards or to include on a gift box. Interesting to look at and modern layout. And the Tinyprint design people were very helpful when I made editing requests. Will certainly reorder!"
"Outstanding card design and print quality. Get reviews all the time, notice people actually "feel" the weight of the paper and look at the card, it gets their attention. Received multiple compliments. Only drawback is on the "logo" area of the design page is seems a bit small, actually trimmed my logo a bit when I ordered a set, nothing noticeable but I knew."
"I think that more picture size and content options would be useful. It looks too small on the back. It is an impressive picture from a Tibet pass."
"These business cards are wonderful! I love the design and TinyPrints even changed the colour to match the note cards I ordered at the same time. I choose this design because it struck me as professional yet a little bit of fun. The high quality of the paper is exactly what I have come to expect of TinyPrints (and WeddingPaperDivas). The cards are a lovely weight. I can't wait to give away these cards!"

Henrico's Top Teachers – Taylor Snow
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor (Photo by Wayne Miller for the Henrico Citizen) 02/16/12
Asked to imagine a place where they can escape from the stresses of daily life, few people would suggest a middle school classroom.
Count Taylor Snow as one of those few.
His toughest challenges as a middle school teacher, says Snow, are only rarely student-related. "In fact, the time I spend with my students is a real sanctuary," he says, "from the sometimes overwhelming central office paperwork and data collection required of us." And when it comes to his students – many of whom face difficult issues in their home lives -- Snow hopes that the classroom is a refuge as well.
"The reason I teach," says Snow, "is that I believe that the classroom should be a sanctuary from [the challenges of daily life].
"The students are the ones that make my classes what they are with their varied abilities and talents," adds Snow. "All I do is try to provide them a forum where they can grow and use those abilities and talents."
A student who wrote to nominate Snow noted that the teacher cultivates the atmosphere of an open forum in the classroom by telling his students at the outset of the school year that he will teach not only world history, but also arts, literature, the sciences, and most importantly, current events.
"Instead of lectures and static Powerpoints, Mr. Snow encourages class conversations and extracurricular activities," said the student. "He always lets us state our beliefs, and we can truly be who we are in his class."
The student added that in addition to supporting a Model UN program for Moody students – and signing them up for competition with high school delegates "because he firmly believes we are just as good" – Snow has formed an international studies course that is primarily student-directed. The international studies group, which includes members of every social group at school, explores current events and requires students to present both sides of every argument. As a result, many formerly-reserved students have become more confident about sharing their ideas.
"To have an adult treat us like equals, and teach us to always do the impossible, has inspired the whole class," wrote the student. "I want to become a UN ambassador because of [Snow]."
The son of a high school English teacher who taught for more than 30 years in Pulaski County, Snow credits both his mother's example and his reading of Jonathan Kozol's book Savage Inequalities (about inequality in public education) for inspiring him to teach.
He also treasures his second-grade memories of being allowed to visit the classroom "Reading Barrel" when he finished his work early, and credits those visits with kindling the love of reading for pleasure that he tries to share with his students daily.
Snow says that his most rewarding moments are those in which he sees students becoming empowered as learners – moments "when they learn not for the sake of passing a test or improving a grade, but simply by becoming someone who loves to learn for learning's sake."
With so much time and effort focused on test results, data and the achievement of certain benchmarks, says Snow, "we forget that what matters the most is helping foster a love of knowledge that helps create a lifelong learner."
A recent email from a former student illustrated the kind of impact that Snow enjoys having on students. In his thank-you note, the student recalled that Snow would occasionally play music in class, and the student would go home and look up the artist, then listen on his own. "This led me to my transformed music taste," said the student, "which is surprisingly how I met most of my current friends: through discussing music!"
The student also thanked Snow for sparking lifelong interests in history and in running. When a classroom announcement was made urging rising ninth graders to look into cross country at Hermitage H.S., he reminded his teacher, "Guess who told me I should go check it out? You! And now, eight running seasons later, I'm still doing it."
But Snow insists he gets just as much from working with his "creative, enthusiastic, and funny" students as they do from him.
"I never dread going to work in the morning or returning to school after long breaks," he says, "because I can say with all honesty that I really do love what I do."

Celebrity Big Brother villains Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have revealed that they were faking their sex romps in the house in order to "mess with" their fellow housemates.
However, though they say that of their nocturnal shenanigans in the shared bedroom, they can't use that as an excuse for the time when cameras caught them allegedly at it in the basement!
But getting back to what they told the Daily Star, Spencer said, "Every night all they would do was creep in on us and stare. We were putting on a show…
"It's not a secret that we were messing with their heads.
"Every night we were doing our scenes, we were just turning it up for the TV."
Heidi added, "They were saying to us all the time that they wanted us to have sex. It was odd and so inappropriate.
"I think they were all so sexually frustrated in there and they're just like that anyway, their humour is way out of line and inappropriate most of the time."
And of being branded Public Enemy No1 for their behavior in the house, Spencer revealed that he and Heidi aren't remotely bothered by and added, "There's always drama in our lives whether it's our family or walking the streets dealing with the people we interact with.
"If you put Heidi and Spencer in the middle of the countryside milking cows it's going to be quite fascinating."
And of what's next for them in the UK, Heidi said, "We haven't had a proper tea with scones and jam, we haven't been to a pub and had a pint and isn't there hunting here? We want to see that.
"And I want to see the seaside too. I want to embrace the countryside of Britain.
"Us on a farm would be so fun, I'd be the one milking the cow, that's for sure."
Here's a reminder of an interview with the couple after they left the house as runner-up…

Bit (horse)
A bit is a type of horse tack used in equestrian activities, usually made of metal or a synthetic material, and is placed in the mouth of a horse or other equid and assists a rider in communicating with the animal. It rests on the bars of the mouth in an interdental region where there are no teeth. It is held on a horse's head by means of a bridle and has reins attached for use by a rider.
Basic types
Although there are hundreds of design variations, the basic families of bits are defined by the way in which they use or do not use leverage. They include:
- Direct pressure bits without leverage:
- Snaffle bit: Uses a bit ring at the mouthpiece to apply direct pressure on the bars, tongue and corner of the mouth.
- Leverage bits:
- Pelham bit: A single curb bit with two sets of reins attached to rings at the mouthpiece and end of the shank. Partly combines snaffle and curb pressure.
- Kimberwicke: A hybrid design that uses a slight amount of mild curb leverage on a bit ring by use of set rein placement on the ring.
- Non-curb leverage designs:
- Gag bit:A bit that, depending on design, may outwardly resemble a snaffle or a curb, but with added slots or rings that provide leverage by sliding the bit up in the horse's mouth, a very severe design.
- Chifney Anti-Rearing Bit: This is a circular-shaped bit with three rings and a port or straight mouth piece used when leading horses. The port or straight piece goes inside the mouth, and the circular part lies under the jaw. The bit is attached to separate head piece or the head collar and the lead is clipped onto the bit and headcollar to limit the severity.[1]
A type of bridle that carries two bits, a bradoon and a curb, and is ridden with two sets of reins is called a Weymouth or double bridle, after the customary use of the Weymouth-style curb bit in a double bridle.
Bits are further described by the style of mouthpiece that goes inside the horse's mouth as well as by the type of bit ring or bit shank that is outside the mouth, to which the reins are attached.
Types of headgear for horses that exert control with a noseband rather than a bit are usually called hackamores,[2] though the term "bitless bridle" has become a popular colloquialism in recent years.
It is likely that the first domesticated horses were ridden with some type of bitless headgear made of sinew, leather, or rope.[3] Components of the earliest headgear may be difficult to determine, as the materials would not have held up over time. For this reason, no one can say with certainty which came first, the bitted or the bitless bridle.[3] There is evidence of the use of bits, located in two sites of the Botai, dated about 3500-3000 BC.[4] Nose rings were used on the equids portrayed on the Standard of Ur, circa 2600 BCE - 2400 BCE. To date, the earliest artistic evidence of use of some form of bitless bridle was found in illustrations of Synian horseman, dated approximately 1400 BC.[5]
The first bits were made of rope, bone, horn, or hard wood. Metal bits came into use between 1300 and 1200 BC, originally made of bronze.[6] Stainless steel is the most popular material used today, although copper, aurigan and "sweet" iron (cold rolled steel) are incorporated into some bits to encourage salivation in the mouth of the horse, which encourages a softer mouth and more relaxed jaw. Conversely, less expensive metals such as nickel are also used. Bits also can be made of other materials such as rubber or plastic, sometimes in combination with metals.[7]
Throughout history, the need for control of horses in warfare drove extensive innovation in bit design, producing a variety of prototypes and styles over the centuries, from Ancient Greece into modern day use.[8]
Design and terminology
A bit consists of two basic components, the bit mouthpiece that goes inside the horse's mouth, and the bit rings of a snaffle bit or shanks of a curb bit, to which the bridle and reins attach.
All bits act with some combination of pressure and leverage, often in conjunction with pressure applied by other parts of the bridle such as the curb chain on the chin, cavesson on the jaw and face, or pressure on the poll from the headstall.[9] Particular mouthpieces do not define the type of bit. It is the sidepieces and the leverage these rings or shanks use to act on a horse's mouth that determines if a bit is in the curb or snaffle family, and has a great impact on the severity of the mouthpiece.
Often, bits with shanks and single- or double-jointed mouthpieces are incorrectly referred to as snaffles. Likewise, a ported mouthpiece on a bit with direct pressure from a bit ring, such as the kimberwicke is not a curb.
The mouthpiece of a horse's bit is the first factor most people think of when assessing the severity and action of the bit. Therefore, it should be carefully considered when choosing a bit for a horse. Many mouthpieces are not allowed in certain competitions.
Bit mouthpieces may be single jointed, double-jointed, "mullen" (a straight bar), or have an arched port in the center of varying height, with or without joints. They may also be smooth, roughened or of twisted wire or metal.
The mouthpiece of the bit does not rest on the teeth of the horse, but rather rests on the gums or "bars" of the horse's mouth in an interdental space behind the front incisors and in front of the back molars. When a horse is said to "grab the bit in its teeth" they actually mean that the horse tenses its lips and mouth against the bit to ignore the rider's commands (although some horses may actually learn to get the bit between their molars).[9]
Bits are designed to work by pressure, not pain. Depending on the style of bit, pressure can be brought to bear on the bars, tongue, and roof of the mouth, as well as the lips, chin groove and poll. Bits offer varying degrees of control and communication between rider and horse depending upon their design and on the skill of the rider. It is important that the style of bit is appropriate to the horse's needs and is fitted properly for it to function properly and be as comfortable as possible for the horse.[9]
In the wrong hands even the mildest bit can hurt the horse. Conversely, a very severe bit, in the right hands, can transmit extremely subtle, nuanced signals that cause no pain to the horse.[citation needed] Commands should be given with only the quietest movements of the hands, and most steering is done with the legs and seat. Thus, instead of pulling or jerking the horse's head to change direction by force, a skilled rider indicates the desired direction by tightening and loosening the grip on the reins. The calf of the leg is used to push the body of the horse in a certain direction while the other one is used as a pivot and to provide the correct amount of impulsion required to keep the horse moving. Likewise, when slowing or stopping, a rider sits deeper in the saddle and closes their hands on the reins, avoiding jerking on the horse or hauling back on the reins in a "heavy-handed" fashion. Change of position of the seat and the pressure of the rider's seat bones are also extremely useful for turning, speeding up and slowing down.
There are many factors in the bitting equation which must be considered to get a true estimate of the action and severity of a bit. Although some mouthpieces are marketed as "correction" (a euphemism for "severe") bits or "training" (implying a mild bit), the terms are relative. The bit always rests on the sensitive bars of a horse's mouth. A hard-handed rider can make even the mildest bit painful, and a skilled, light-handed rider can ride in a much harsher mouthpiece without damaging the mouth or causing any distress in the horse.[citation needed] Additionally, the shank or ring has a great impact on the action of the mouthpiece. Snaffles are generally considered the mildest, curbs and gags the harshest. It is difficult, therefore, to compare a harsher-type bit with a mild mouthpiece (such as a pelham with a rubber mullen mouth), and a milder-type bit with a harsher mouthpiece (like a thin snaffle with a slow twist). In general, however, the mouthpiece can have a marked difference on the severity. Snaffles with twisted wires are never considered mild, whereas a pelham with a low port could.
Snaffle or direct pressure bits
All bits work with either direct pressure or leverage. Bits that act with direct pressure on the tongue and lips are in the general category of snaffle bits. Snaffle bits most commonly have a single jointed mouthpiece and act with a nutcracker effect on the bars, tongue and occasionally roof of the mouth. However, any bit that operates only on direct pressure is a "snaffle" bit, regardless of mouthpiece.[10]
Curb or leverage bits
Bits that have shanks coming off the bit mouthpiece to create leverage that applies pressure to the poll, chin groove and mouth of the horse are in the category of curb bits. Most curb bit mouthpieces are solid without joints, ranging from a straight bar with a slight arch, called a "mullen" mouthpiece, through a "ported" bit that is slightly arched in the middle to provide tongue relief, to the full spade bit of the Vaquero style of western riding which combines both a straight bar and a very high "spoon" or "spade" extension that contacts the roof of the mouth. The length of the shank determines the degree of leverage put on the horse's head and mouth. Again, a bit with shanks and leverage is always a "curb" type bit, even when it has a jointed mouthpiece more commonly seen on a snaffle (such bits are sometimes—incorrectly—called "cowboy snaffles"). All shanked bits require the use of a curb chain or curb strap for proper action and safe use.
Combination designs
Some bits combine both direct pressure and leverage, the most common examples being the Pelham bit, which has shanks and rings allowing both direct and leverage pressure on a single bit and is ridden with four reins;[2] the Kimblewick or Kimberwicke, a hybrid bit that uses minimal leverage on a modified snaffle-type ring combined with a mouthpiece that is usually seen more often on curb bits, ridden with two reins;[11] and the double bridle, which places a curb and a snaffle bit simultaneously in the horse's mouth so that each may act independently of the other, ridden with four reins. Another bit that combines direct pressure and leverage in a unique manner is the Gag bit, a bit derived from the snaffle that, instead of having a rein attached to the mouthpiece, runs the rein through a set of rings that attach directly to the headstall, creating extra pressure on the lips and poll when applied. Usually used for correction of specific problems, the gag bit is generally illegal in the show ring[12] and racecourse.
In popular culture
Bits and the behavior of horses while wearing bits have made their way into popular culture outside of the horse world.
- Took the bit in his teeth, a phrase that describes a horse that sets its jaw against the bit and cannot be controlled (rarely does the horse actually grab the bit with its molars), is used today to refer to a person who cannot be controlled or who is charging ahead without consideration of the consequences.
- Champing at the bit (or mistakenly as chomping at the bit) refers to a tendency of some horses, when impatient or nervous, and especially if being held back by their riders, to chew on the bit, often salivating excessively. This behavior is sometimes accompanied by head-tossing or pawing at the ground. Because this behavior was most often seen by the general public in horses who were anxious to begin a horse race in the days before the invention of the starting gate, the term has become popular in everyday speech to refer to a person who is anxious to get started or to do something. Because some impatient horses, when held back, would also occasionally rear, a related phrase, "raring to go," is also derived from observations of equine behavior.

For years I've wished for the impossible, which is an eye makeup remover that doesn't need a cotton round or wash cloth. I would be so happy if I could just use my fingers and have everything come off of my eyes. Yeah, soooo not going to happen. I really tried to make it work with this remover. Instead I ended up with smudges of left over liner each morning.
So, when you actually follow the directions and use this remover with a cotton round, it does work really well. It's a white creamy lotion and doesn't feel at all greasy. It removes everything I've thrown at it so far (yes, including 30 coats of mascara), really it only takes 1 cotton round per eye. I like that it only takes a light rinsing with water, rather than needing to be washed off like with an oil based eye makeup remover.
What eye makeup remover are you using right now? I'm mostly using this one, but I'm sometimes grabbing an oil based remover from Boots.

Payday Loan Requirements
Financial hardship is definitely an difficult thing to undergo, and if you're facing these circumstances, you may want fast cash. For some consumers, an online payday loan can be the strategy to use. Keep reading for some helpful insights into pay day loans, what you need to look out for and ways to make the best choice.
Need profit a hurry? Are your bills turning up to an unmanageable amount? A potential solution inside a financial crunch is to consider a payday loan. If you are considering a payday advance, make sure you get all of the facts you'll need. The information below gives you all the details about how a pay day loan can help out your situation if it is best for you.
Never be dishonest over a loan application! You may be tempted for one reason or another, yet it's illegal and may get you into trouble.
Many payday lenders will advertise that they may not reject the application due to your credit score. Many times, this really is right. However, make sure to look into the interest, they're charging you. The interest rates will change according to your credit history. If your credit standing is bad, get ready for a higher rate of interest.
When you can't pay by the due date, extra time can be requested. Most payday loan organizations will provide a one or two day extension. Just take into account that you will end up owing more once you obtain extra time.
Payday Loan Requirements might be something that many have thought about but are unsure about. Even though pay day loans have excessive charges attached to them, they're useful in times where a quick payment is needed. This tips below will help you make good decisions about pay day loans.
It is important to make certain you can pay back the credit when it is due. The interest rate associated with a payday loan is high that may result in significant costs or even paid back promptly.
When you get a payday loan, ask for a price reduction. Most payday advance offices provide a fee or rate discount for first-time borrowers. If the place you wish to borrow from does not provide a discount, call around. If you find a price reduction elsewhere, the borrowed funds place, you desire to visit will likely match it to get your business.
The most important tip when taking out a payday loan is to only borrow what you might pay back. Interest rates with pay day loans are crazy high, if you take out a lot more than you can re-pay through the due date, you will pay a great deal in interest fees.
Look at all fees carefully with pay day loans. By doing this, you know the exact amount you need to pay back in substitution for borrowing the money. Also, you will find interest rate regulations that you ought to be aware of. Sadly, fees can circumvent these regulations. These hidden fees can raise the overall cost immensely. Being aware of these fees will help you determine whether you ought to take out this loan.
