Even New Yorkers have been queueing round the block for Manolo Blahniks. The slender stilettoes immortalised by TV's Sex And The City are half-price. It's Manolo madness.
The sale at the midtown Manhattan boutique saw the footwear hitting prices as low as $257 last week. Such a shoe would normally cost $515. By British standards, $515 is reasonable, $257 is cheap - or, rather, as inexpensive as Manolo Blahniks get. But $257 at an exchange rate of $1.8 to the pound? That's less than £150 - and that's ridiculous.
Low, lower, lowest. There has not been a better time to go shopping in America for a decade. Okay, so it's bitterly cold in New York at the moment, but jumpers are on sale at Abercrombie & Fitch for as little as $14. For years, you would have been smug that that came in at just under a tenner. Now $14 translates as £7.77. Which is sublime.
Propose marriage at the top of the Empire State Building and you can buy a diamond engagement ring at Tiffany & Co for the equivalent of £500, then celebrate at Nobu in trendy TriBeCa over a sushi blow-out for £100 for two - unheard of in London.
Shopping, eating out and staying in hotels has traditionally been cheaper in New York than London. But mix in a crashing dollar, seasonal discounts, promotional packages and prices that never fully recovered from the terrorist attacks of 2001, and you have nothing less than a bonanza for the British. Electronics, fashion, baubles, scent - cram your bags with the basics or splash out on select big-ticket items.
It has yet to be proven that shopping is a cure for Seasonal Affective Disorder. But New York can at least boast of being the city where, for the moment, the retail addict's adage comes most alive: the more you spend the more you save.
Where to shop
The abundance of boutiques in SoHo, top fashion chains on Fifth Avenue, the Rockefeller Center and designer decadence uptown on Madison Avenue is also complemented by "districts" throughout Manhattan where store types cluster.
Nolita, or "North of Little Italy", is a small five block by four segment downtown. Although just across Broadway from SoHo (South of Houston Street), Nolita has not yet been slicked up by big business and glossy galleries.
It is teeming with women's couture and jewellery boutiques - but is also increasingly a place where hip guys can slink around and mysteriously emerge from a doorway with designer duds without even looking as if they are shopping.
Duncan Quinn is a British lawyer who doubles as a fashion designer. The result is his eponymous clothier on Spring Street in Nolita, where bespoke suits in a cashmere mix can be had for $2,500 or pret à porter for $1,650, shirts from $275,cufflinks from $100.
"It is almost in the style of a Savile Row tailor with a twist. I tried to make it a gentlemen's emporium with contemporary style. And Nolita is edgy," said Quinn. He imports Jeffrey West shoes from the UK and says the exchange rate is killing him.
Round the corner on Mott Street, INA is a designer resale boutique for men - a second-hand shop with a difference. Prada suits that have been worn once for a fashion shoot or on the runway will cost $400, while the same suit new would cost $2,000 at the Prada store in SoHo, and probably £2,000 in the UK. INA sells Gucci trousers for $95 and Helmut Lang shoes for $35.
Paul Frank has an outlet on Mulberry Street in Nolita, not far from other men's boutiques with names such as Prohibit and Unis .
Meanwhile, Time Out New York has crucial tips every week on "sample sales", where designers randomly throw one-day sales to clear stock at a pittance.
You cannot fail to get shod on the strip of 8th Avenue in Greenwich Village, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The bad news is that Ugg boots are sold out until April. Those who don't mind imitations will be satisfied by a trip to Steve Madden 's shoe shops in SoHo, Chelsea or the Upper East Side, where frighteningly similar boots to Ugg are $99 a pair. Timberland boots can be snagged almost anywhere for $79.
On the strip of Broadway between Houston and Canal, there are several huge branches of OMG Jeans Store where Levi 501s can be as cheap as $30; Seven jeans are $120. For popularised working men's brands Carhartt and Dickies, try Dirty Jane's across the street or Iceberg Army and Navy a block down on Broadway.
Victoria's Secret has outlets all over, with lacy undies from $9. But on Delancey and Hester Streets in the Lower East Side, there is more elastic and wire in combination than you can shake a suspender at.
The diamond district dispenses the bulk of the world's sparklers from jewellery stores on one block of Fifth Avenue at 47th Street, while the so-called silver district is found in the Upper 50s streets between Madison and Second Avenues.
Perfume and make-up
Macy's , Bloomingdales , Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue are awash with potions, perfumes and offers of a free makeover. At Macy's, 75ml Issey Miyake aftershave is $40, 50ml Chanel No 5 eau de toilette is $54, Clinique lipstick and mascara are $13.50 and Clinique moisturiser is $22. Pop it all in your Marc Jacob's handbag - from $495 at Saks.
New Yorkers like to warn tourists to steer clear of the gadget shops around Times Square, saying it is easy to get duped into overpaying or being sold a refurbished item as new.
The best stores for digital cameras, iPods and the like are a little spread out but worth the trek. A reliable chain store is Circuit City , which has a huge outlet on 14th Street at Union Square, next to a Virgin Megastore, where chart CDs are typically $12.99. Best Buy , ever reliable, is on 23rd Street at Sixth Avenue. But the most competitive prices in town are to be found at J&R Music and Computer on Park Row in Lower Manhattan, and at B&H on Ninth Avenue at 33rd Street - although be aware that B&H is closed on Friday afternoons and all day Saturday because it is run by Orthodox Jews.
At B&H, an iPod 40GB costs $489, while a basic Canon Powershot SD 100 Digital Elph camera (sold as the Ixus in the UK) costs $259.95. A Sony TRV 33 camcorder costs $729. B&H does not sell computer games, but GameBoy Advance costs $79 at J&R.
Where to refuel
In Nolita, try the cosy but ultra-hip eateries of Public , Peasant , Cafe Gitane or Cafe Lebowitz . Basketball hero Michael Jordan has opened a steakhouse in the refurbished Grand Central Station, where a steak costs from $22.
Michael's , uptown at West 55th, on the other hand, is one of the most famous restaurants in New York and is usually dotted with celebrities. You might not normally consider splashing out on a $22 breakfast, or a $75 dinner with a $40 bottle of wine, but with the exchange rate as it is, perhaps now is the time.
Where to unwind
When the shopping has finished you off, it is time for a spa treatment. The Spa at the St Regis Hotel on Fifth Avenue offers Shoppers' Reflexology, a specialist foot massage for $180. They encourage you to follow this with afternoon tea at $37.50.
Where to stay
Perhaps the ultimate boutique spa and hotel in town is Soho House (+212 627 9800, sohohouseny.com), actually in the Meatpacking District. It boasts a cinema, top restaurant, roof pool and spa. Room rates for non-members start at $275 while, Monday to Thursday, a massage, facial, manicure and pedicure costs $150 in total.
At the Chelsea Lodge (+212 243 4499, chelsealodge.com), $195-a-night suites are designed as studio apartments with kitchens.
The Millenium Hilton (+212 693 2001, hilton.com), overlooking Ground Zero, is one of a range of hotels featured by NYC & Company (nycvisit.com), the city's marketing organisation, in its winter Paint The Town initiative.

London - The maker of Oreo cookies is separating its European cheese and grocery business in a move that may lead to a sale or spinoff, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The creation by Mondelez International Inc. of a stand-alone unit with about $1.4 billion in sales comes as the company jettisons coffee and focuses on faster-growing snack brands amid pressure from activist investors Ralph Whitworth and Nelson Peltz. The strategy may pave the way for an exit from the cheese and grocery business, said a person with knowledge of Mondelez's deliberations, who asked not to be identified as the plans are private.

Our club welcomes all T-Birds owners and enthusiasts in the north Georgia area. For more information or to become a member, please Contact Us.


text: oem vs aftermarket... the biggest factor is economy of scale. an oem strut spreads the r&d & mfg/transportation/ etc over a much larger population. think of it this way: every imprezza has 4 oem struts on it out the door. how many imprezzas will have 4 of them replaced with something from the performance aftermarket? most replacements will be another oem unit.

Luca is also one of the nicest and most generous people I know. Conversations with Luca can range from how to make homemade croissants to the benefits of having a free personal shopper through a department store. (This is something I recently discovered when prepping for a photo shoot.) Luca is fun to talk to and full of hot tips for cooking and for life.
I've been trying to convince Luca to do a Sunday dinner questionnaire for some time now. It's taken a while for the pieces to come together, but I'm excited to be able to post Luca's response, along with recipe for a Blood Orange and Arugula Salad. He even sent an appetizing photo of the completed dish. Many thanks, Luca!
Sunday Dinner Questionnaire: Luca Loffredo
1. What is your favorite food to eat? Why?
Fresh seafood is my favorite... whether it's delicate, powerful, or pungent. I consider fish, crustaceans, and shellfish food of the gods. I love the sublime flavor that varies hour after hour from the moment of the catch. Yes, I do admit that sometimes I do prepare and eat frozen fish too. However I strive to get the freshest and sometime the most humble variety.
2. What is your favorite food to cook? How often and under what circumstances do you make it?
Often I treat myself to a great seafood soup or simple octopus salad (when octopus is available fresh and not too large in size). One of my favorite dishes to cook is black mussels with a splash of white wine and lemon juice, with a base of extra virgin olive oil and garlic, finished with plenty parsley and freshly ground black pepper. It's just delicious.
3. Who or what is your greatest culinary influence? Why is he/she/it an inspiration to you?
"La Nonna". I know that may sound like a cliché, but my grandmother was my first inspiration. When I moved to San Francisco in 1991, I was mentored and inspired by a dear friend and incredible chef Tina Lai. Another very strong influence was working along Tony Gulisano in San Francisco. Tony is an incredibly talented and successful chef. He invested and believed in my talent and potential. Thank you, my friends.
4. What is your favorite kitchen utensil and why do you love it?
I have couple of utensils that I always look after and always have handy. My 8-inch chef's knife and a thick, wide maplewood spoon. And I almost forgot my 12-inch shallow saucepan (Al Clad of course. It's just the best in the hand, LOL).
5. What did you eat for dinner this past weekend?
Let me see… Yes this past Sunday, after a quick stop at the Hollywood Farmer's Market and the farmer Market on Third, I went home and prepared a blood orange and arugula (rocket greens) salad with sliced almond, drizzled with E.V.O.O. and a dash of balsamic reduction. As an entrée, I pan-roasted a nice thick pork chop (bone-in) with cipollini onions, leeks and parsnips. First I seared it and then deglazed the pan with a cup of Pinot Grigio. Then I added rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and lemon zest, just the perfect dish for Mardi Grass weekend.
6. When you were growing up, did you eat Sunday dinner or another meal that brought your friends and family together on a regular basis? If so, what you you eat?
We didn't have dinner together, but late lunches were a must. My family and I we used to alternate Sundays between my father's parents and my grandmother Flora (my mom's mother). It is always something that I looked forward to during the whole week. Then I grew up and my grandparents past away and the sweet delicious and loving tradition disappeared. I keep beautiful memories of those never-ending lunches with all sorts of dishes-- from traditional Neapolitan to more eccentric and modern fresh fruit risottos and raw seafood carpaccio... just delicious. I felt like I embarked into a journey of flavors. I miss them a lot. One recurring and very traditional dish was the long-simmered tomatoes ragout with beef top round. The tomato sauce was served religiously with ziti pasta (always al dente), and the meat served with a side of "friarielli", a Neapolitan variety of rapini.
7. Do you have a garden? If so, what do you grow in it?
Unfortunately I do not have a garden. But my living room and front door opens onto a very private and quiet patio. There I let my green thumb go wild. I have several pots with herbs (lots of mint and parsley), a few cherry tomato plants and zucchini. In the courtyard there is a tall loquat tree that bares small sweet and juicy fruit.
8. What is your ultimate food fantasy?
This very hard... I guess it would be an endless amount of oysters of every variety. Finishing with a mountain of profiteroles filled with cream and covered with bittersweet warm chocolate sauce. A good bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, or better yet a Greco di Tufo (a delicious Neapolitan dry white wine) is a must. After dinner a glass of Amaro Averna (a herbal liquor from Sicily) is the right way to end a fantastic meal.
9. If you could choose to have any person living or dead prepare a meal for you, who would it be? What would you want to eat?
I would love to seat at the dinner table of Elizabeth David and eat just about anything she feels to cook. However, a Mediterranean seafood soup with toasted batard would be idyllic.
10. Fill in the blank: "The most important element of a good meal is ________."
Attitude and Love.
|Blood Orange Salad, recipe and photograph by Luca Loffredo, 2011.
By Luca Loffredo
Serves 2
- 3 Blood oranges
- 3 to 4 oz baby arugula
- 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 half of a shallot
- 2 oz sliced toasted almonds
- 2 oz Parmigiano Reggiano shavings (shredded cheese is also fine)
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Husk, wash, rinse and dry the arugula with a clean towel and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Peel the oranges and slice them sideways, creating many orange wheels of the same thickness.
- Lightly toast the sliced almonds, just few seconds in a hot frying pan on the stovetop. (You can also use them raw; it is matter of taste.)
- Toss the greens with shallot, half of the almonds and the cheese.
- Pour the olive oil on the side of the mixing bowl and gently fold the salad. Then add the vinegar.
- Add the orange slices and salt and pepper to taste. Fold again very gently to keep the slices from braking apart.
- Plate the salad and sprinkle the leftover cheese and almonds over the top.
- If blood oranges are not available, you may substitute ruby grapefruit.

As the Obama administration weans the U.S. off polluting fuels blamed for global warming, energy companies have been sending more of America's unwanted energy leftovers to other parts of the world where they could create even more pollution. Here are five things to know about the issue:
1. AS U.S. REDUCES COAL USE, DEMAND RISES GLOBALLY. Over the past six years, the U.S. has cut consumption by 195 million tons as power plants have burned cheaper natural gas instead. The Environmental Protection Agency's latest proposal would further cut coal's share of electricity generation. Meanwhile, coal demand is rising globally. In 2013, according to the 2014 BP Statistical Review of World Energy, it grew by 3 percent. The International Energy Agency expects global coal demand to grow 2.3 percent per year through 2018.

David Healy: Manchester City blew their big chance
When you have a big game, you need your big players to stand up and be counted.
Unfortunately for Manchester City on Wednesday night that did not happen.
With home advantage and needing a win to take them towards Champions League football they quite simply didn't perform.
In contrast I thought Tottenham were excellent as they won 1-0 at Eastlands to clinch the coveted top four place in the Premier League.
Harry Redknapp should be commended for putting out such an attacked minded team on a night in which he only needed a draw.
He certainly got his reward. It's a great achievement for Harry, who once again has proved what a top manager he is. While he looks forward, City must reflect on where it all went wrong. Basically they blew it.

Now, it's a day later and things have changed. The Korean based manufacturer now says that all of the phones under the Optimus One series will indeed receive Android 2.3. The company said, "LG will upgrade all Optimus One smartphones currently using the Froyo OS to the next version of the Android OS, Gingerbread. Details of the upgrade schedule will be announced locally in due course. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and misunderstanding that was caused regarding this issue."
They say you can't fight City Hall, but it didn't take much time for LG to clarify the situation and to appease its customers. With that in mind, well played LG, well played.

Why, yes. Yes I have thought about those very two questions.

Funny thing is, TSA isn't usually the answer I come up with.

SBF Rod Bearing
I pulled my 302 apart and am going to do a rering and bearing job on it. The connecting rod cap has round pin in the middle at the bottom of the cap and the bearing has a hole to fit over the pin. This is in additon to the locating tangs on the edge. Will standard replacement bearing have a hole for this pin, or is it something special? (Don't rmember seeing these on other motors I had apart.)
Clevite makes the bearings with a "dowel" hole that you are describing, I'm sure other companies do also, if you can't find any a good machine shop should be able to add the hole for you.
Yikes! I hope I don't need special bearing, I already ordered a rebuilt kit from Summit.
Pretty sure the rods had Ford markings on them.
Standard bearing for a SBF won't have that hole. You might be able to remove the dowel from the rod and then you wont need the hole, what is this engine in and what is it's intended use? If it is some endurance engine or max effort drag engine I could see the extra effort to dowel the rods, although I don't think that practice is as common as it was way back when, if it's just a street engine I don't see a need for them.
These rods were in the engine that came in the car. I suspect it saw some duty at the dragway at one time. It also has a Crane Fireball II cam and some of the date codes point to a rebuild back in the 80's.
Well I spent about 1/2 an hour on the phone with summit tech. They can get the bearing - next month! and they are over 3x the cost of a standard bearing. I do have another 302 laying around that I might be able to scavenge the rods out of, but then I have to have a shop press the piston pins to swap the rods. The rods seemed to have Ford numbers on them, like D180E-A or something like that, but the logo, even though it was an oval, didn't look like it said Ford. They have the smaller rod bolts too.
This is getting interesting now. I think the rods are Scat, the logo on the rods looks just like the one on thier web page. Have to check into the crank next.
I would call your machine shop and ask about putting the hole in the standard bearings or how much to remove the dowel.

Bruce AlmightyDirector: Tom Shadyac
Cast: Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman
After a bad day at work, a man suddenly gets a new job -- as the world's new Heavenly Father -- in this comedy. Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a television reporter working in Buffalo, NY, who has been growing increasingly dissatisfied with his existence, and after an especially bad day, he flies into a rage and curses God for making his life miserable. To Bruce's great surprise, the Supreme Being Himself (Morgan Freeman) appears, and tries to convince Bruce of the enormity of his task. Bruce, however, isn't buying it, so God gives him a chance to find out what he's up against; God bestows all of his powers on Bruce for a week, to see how he'd handle things. At first, Bruce has a great time bending the world around him to his will, much to the puzzlement of his girlfriend, Grace (Jennifer Aniston), but after six days God stops by to remind Bruce he hasn't done much to make the Earth a better place. Disappointed, God presents Bruce with an ultimatum -- he has one day to improve the world in a concrete way, or God will toss the planet back into the void. Bruce Almighty was directed by Tom Shadyac, who previously teamed with Jim Carrey for Liar, Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Bruce Almighty is definitely one of those uplifting movies that gave me a feeling and determination to keep watching again (at least once every 1-2 months). One of the reasons; Bruce Almighty stars Jim Carey as Bruce Nolan. He enjoys his job as a television promoter but wants to aim higher in his career. He ends up going through an initiation process of reinventing himself after an experience where he reacted with extreme shock (on national television)after he found out that his rival Evan Baxter (Steven Carrell)got the job he wanted and is sitting next to a coworker named Susan Ortega (Catherine Bell) who he slightly admires. At the time Bruce Nolan was standing next to some type of cruise ship boat called Maid of the Mist and out loud sarcastically confused one of the woman he was interviewing for someone who was on the Titanic and Katherine Hepburn's mom (with a light-hearted and respectful comedic nod to Kate Winslet). Fortunately he has a caring and self-confident girlfriend named Grace Connelly (Jennifer Aniston) who works at Small Wonders Daycare. Bruce Nolan's life becomes radically changed after he spiritual surrenders to God and actually meets God (played by Morgan Freeman). God explains to him how things work which is really important as he makes sense of being able to do a Clint Eastwood impersonation, parting tomato soup in a diner, and walking on water. There are numerous pop culture references in Bruce Almighty as well such as when the song Power by Snap plays in the movie as he is using his newfound powers, Never Gonna Give Ya Up by Barry White during a scene involving him and his girlfriend (including Right About Now by Fatboy Slim). There is even an appearance by Tony Bennett in Bruce Almighty where Bruce Nolan takes his girlfriend Grace Connelly to an upscale restaurant called the Blue Palm. There is even a moment of a Mark Twain themed chili cookoff. Please know that I also understand that there were many other strong contributions from other actors/actresses in the Bruce Almighty as well as other pivotal pop culture references. I was just listing what my intuition was guiding me to write.
Jim careys movies are the funniest movie ever ive seen lots of hes movie but this one was the funniest.
Jim is so funny playing Bruce in the movie!
its really funny the first time you see it but it starts getting worse every other timeyou see it
I think the stunts performed in this movie were outshadowed by the comedic talent of Jim and Jennifer. However, the stunts were excellent and often not easily seen by the average theater goer. However, Stacey Carino's role behind the scenes provided for excellent backdrop to this great movie.
This is seriously one movie I recommend. It is a helarious movie with a very interesting plot/theme. This is one of Jim Carey's best movies. I am very picky about movies and I just loved this movie, nothing bad I can say about it. BUY IT!
this movie was so funny. everything about it was great, including its unique plot and jokes. reccomended for people who want to laugh themselves silly
It's like the FUNNIEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!! You'll find your self watching it over and over. And the funniest deloeted scenes! You'll ask yourself, 'Why did they take that out of the movie!!??!'
When I first heard about this movie, I thought 'this has to be sacreligious.' But Jim Carrey pulled off a movie that was both funny and poignant in the handling of the age old question of 'Why Me, Lord!'
This will be a short review I thought It was pure Jim Carrey need I say more. Just as Funny as Liar Liar maybe more.
This is simply the best movie of all time. This was not shocking, just because they titled it after the greatest name of all time. BRUCE. I mean, the gigantic shark in Finding Nemo was named Bruce, The Hulk, my talentless ex- boyfriend, and all other monstrous things. My favorite part of this movie is definitely the 3 minute montage where everything says Bruce. For example, Forgive Bruce, and when Bruce's name appears in the sky. In all seriousness, this is one of Jim Carrey's greatest movies. Superb acting, or should I say Brucing. Sorry, I can't help myself. Jennifer Aniston helps the film by showing how in love she is with Bruce. I mean, everyone is in love with Bruce, but she definitely makes her love seem unique. She is America's Sweetheart. This film is original because Bruce is not a gigantic ugly monster, but rather a very loveable man. More movies should be made with such high standards and moral values.
Not only funny, but thought provoking. Answers the age old question: why does God allow that to happen?, and the problem with free will. Bruce has to do some soul-searching. And yet very very funny!
I love this movie so much, I can quote the whole entire thing. As usual, Jim Carrey is hilarious, and Morgan Freeman stepped from a serious flick to a comedy. The lines are memorable, and it is much better than, "O God" starring John Denver, which it seems to be loosely based upon.
I really like this movie. I really highly recommend that you see it. I love it. I think it is one of thouse movies that you watch it over and over again because you know thoughs movies that you watch it, then you never really want to see. Well this is not one of thouse movies. This, you actually want to see it over and over again. Even my mom Kelly and my friend Justin liked it. It is really good. You have to see it. Watch it soon.
What a movie. If you asked for Jim Carrey, you got Jim Carrey. It's sweet and funny, happy and well... happy. I couldn't ask for a better comedy:)!! It's rated PG-13 but it's not that bad when it comes to violence or anything. Jennifer Aniston plays her sweet girl role like there isn't any tomarrow! You go girl!!!!!!!!!
I usually have a hard time finding movies that my 10-year-old daughter, my 15-year-old son, and my 'movie expert' husband will all like. However, we all enjoyed this one with Jim Carrey as a flawed but likeable character who learns that it's not easy having God's powers. This one had fewer gross-out jokes than most of his movies (a good thing!) but was still very funny.
`Bruce Almighty' was Jim Carrey's triumphant return to comedy after scratching the dramatic itch. After delivering such great performances in `The Truman Show' and `Man in the Moon', a return to the rubber-faced, flopping around Jim Carrey feels somewhat dated. Yes, Carrey's antics were getting stale at that time. But, fortunately, `Bruce' is a movie that matures along with him. In this sense it is actually a welcome sight when the movie puts its silly physical comedy in the backseat for the more dramatic exploration of the story's possibilities in the 3rd act. Carrey is showing his stuff here because this story and character is strong enough to have stood in the shoes of another. Shadyac did well to cast the great Morgan Freeman as Alpha and Omega. Freeman brings an elegant all knowing air and a humanistic touch together for an intriguing interpretation of God. Far better and more memorable than just a bright light or all-business interpretation. Jennifer Aniston, as usual, remains the weakest element in the movie as Bruce's live-in girlfriend and proverbial Holy Spirit in this symbolic trinity. `Daily Show' alumni Steve Carrell gets a chance to show off on the big screen although his big trailer moment isn't as funny as the director seems to think. More than its individual moments, `Bruce' is admirable for the creativity and, to be honest, simple audacity of its story. The movie has a clear vision and the script is sharp, intelligent and witty – a rarity in slacker comedies. The movie isn't too enamored with its own cleverness, applying its touches in blotches all over the movie and sometimes in unexpected ways. A subject that, no matter how fanciful it is dealt with by movies, manages to send both traditionalists and atheists into a rage with demands that the movie's view fit into their own. Like `Dogma' and `The Devil's Advocate' it's refreshing to see that this kind of movie can still get made. This movie might not quite top the previous high such as the adult fairy tale `Liar, Liar,' but "Bruce Almighty" is an interesting and entertaining comedy that brings religion as one of its major themes.
Bruce Nolan is an average news reporter, but seems to constantly be cheated by his rival, Evan. However, after a partikualrly hard day, he blames god for all of his misforutunes and god appears to him (long sotry short), and ends up giving him his power. At first, he has fun with his powers, but......I don't want to give away thse plot of this excellent movie. Jim Carry does an fantastic job with the film.
I challenge someone to find one of the best lines in the movie (subtle but very, very familiar- hint: it's spoken by Morgan Freeman). It's Jim Carrey doing what he does best- physical, reactive comedy. Yet, it only makes one wonder how one entity has the personal time for each and every person. I do like the email 'prayer' concept.
This movie was one of the best movies i've seen starring Jim Carey. I highly reccomend it.
I think this is the funniest movie i have ever watched! Like when Sam ( the dog ) keeps having little accidents on the chair! Jim Carrey is great and so's Jennifer. They deserve 5 stars!

Marisa Miller: Baby Boy on the Way
She's been coasting along through her pregnancy over the past months, and Marisa Miller just announced that the bun in her oven is a boy.
Taking to her celebrity baby blog, the former Victoria's Secret Angel was thrilled to share the news with her loyal readers.
Marisa wrote, "My husband and I had another appointment this week and got some really exciting news. We just found out that we are having a … BOY!!! We would be excited either way, but it was amazing to know for sure."
She continued, "We did have a little heads-up early on though. During our 12-week ultrasound, the doctor was going over everything and asked, 'Do you want to know the sex?' We replied, 'Yes, but isn't it too early?' He told us that it was really early, but that it seemed 'pretty obvious' to both him and the ultrasound technician, and that their guess was a boy."
Griffin said if it turned out to be true, this would be a great story to tell our son one day — 'It was so obvious that you were a boy — you had a penis before you had eyes.' Haha!"
"Now that we know it's a boy, I've started thinking about my next step: bikinis. Griffin and I are going on a babymoon soon, and one of the upcoming tasks is trying on all my bathing suits to see if any of them work with my new body — eek! Wish me luck, – Marisa Miller"

'Part of Me' is Katy Perry in all her glory, pain
LOS ANGELES – Hours before Katy Perry is to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the pop princess is a long way from camera-ready. But that doesn't dim her radiance one bit.
Forty minutes behind in an already jampacked schedule, Perry cheerfully strolls the grounds of Paramount Studios in a tan Chanel sweatsuit with her purple hair rolled and pinned. As she conducts her phone pre-interview with a Kimmel producer, she dreamily twirls around in a full circle.
"Busy is not the word," she explains after her call. "Tomorrow is my movie premiere, and we're all running around like chickens with our heads cut off. It's all so on-the-fly. It's super-real."
"Super-real" is what it's all about these days for Perry, 27, who already has shown the world a number of glamorous incarnations in her short and impossibly bright career, from California pinup to glamour girl, sex kitten and girl next door.
With Thursday's release of Katy Perry: Part of Me, the pop star will give her legion of fans a behind-the-scenes look at her life during her 2011 California Dreams tour.
The year-long, exhausting, 124-show marathon that showcased 2010's multiplatinum album Teenage Dream and earned nearly $60 million saw Perry playing to mostly sold-out venues across the globe and dealing with the breakdown of her marriage to comedian/actor Russell Brand.
"She had a lot going on," says her friend and makeup artist, Todd Delano. "Things blew up."
In the winter of 2010, Perry came up with the film's concept after seeing the seismic shift in her career as large arenas sold out. She had broken into the mainstream with the release of 2008's One of the Boys (and its No. 1 single I Kissed a Girl), and momentum built. She was intrigued by capturing the drama that would come with blockbuster success.
"It was like, 'Holy crap, what's going on?' I thought, 'Maybe we should document this,' " Perry says. "I knew anything could happen at a point when you take such big steps like this. I could have definitely gone bankrupt. I could have definitely gone mental. It was a huge wave. I thought it was important to catch whatever was coming."
That wave was largely spurred by Teenage Dream's five No. 1 hits —Firework, Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.), California Gurls, Teenage Dream and E.T. — all captured in the film with 3-D performance footage.
To provide context for the music, Perry hired documentarians Edward Lovelace and James Hall to do interviews and shoot the acne-and-all look at her life — even if it meant catching her looking "bloated" or breaking into tears.
"People are going to see me completely," Perry says. "I left in all of those scenes where I don't look very flattering. Because that's me."
In fact, she relishes allowing the world a peek behind the curtain. For this interview, Perry happily sits on an outdoor lunch table in the Paramount lot despite instantly becoming a focal point for gawkers in nearby office windows. "I never get to sit outside," she explains.
When one mother brings her two daughters to say hello, the pop star embraces her glammed-down look. "Hi, I'm Katy, and I've got rollers in," she blurts out, hesitating only slightly when they ask her to pose for a picture.
"I don't look presentable, but how do you say no to that?" she says with a smile.
An unraveling on film
Fans will also see the full arc of her relationship with Brand, starting with her cooing about meeting him on the set of Get Him to the Greek in 2009 (her cameo was edited from the film). The two were married in India in 2010, and Part of Me shows glimpses of happy days.
But as her tour rolls on, cracks emerge. Perry is shown trying to shoehorn in days to visit Brand, even skipping from Austria to Los Angeles for a short visit. "I'm trying to keep my marriage alive," Perry says in the movie.
The personal problems are not discussed, but Brand is portrayed as unwilling to visit. (Brand declined to comment for this article.) The drama boils over as a catatonic Perry weeps backstage before a concert in Brazil in September. Three months later, Brand announced the marriage was over.
Though there are moments that highlight her vulnerability, Perry also is depicted as being in total control of her empire. "I wanted to show the entire operation," Perry says. "People just think I'm the girl wearing the ruby slippers. I wanted to show them at the end of the journey. I am the Oz as well."
Perry says she continued to exert "creative control" as directors Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz winnowed the 600 hours of footage into a 112-minute film.
Says Cutforth, "As we make clear, there's nothing that has Katy Perry's name in it that Katy Perry is not involved in."
But Perry didn't shy away from showing the raw relationship breakdown, however hard it was to relive during her frequent trips to the editing room. After the first full screening, "she needed a moment to process the emotional impact. She's human," Lipsitz says. "They had a marriage and it broke up. To relive it and not feel it, you'd have to be made of stone not to react."
Fighting back tears, Perry concedes in an interview at the end of the film that she misses Brand. But how does she feel about him today?
"That (film) interview was incredibly raw," she says, laughing nervously. "At the end of that, I quickly added, 'I take that back.' But that didn't make the cut. At that particular moment, I missed the romantic idea."
She adds: "But right now? I'm just looking to the future."
'I like aligning stars'
That future includes her first real break, beginning Aug. 1. "I don't have one thing on my calender for the rest of my life after that if I don't want."
Not likely. In the fall she begins work on her fourth studio album and will assess an array of projects — Perry even dreams about playing comedian Lucille Ball in a biopic.
"I don't know if I could do her justice," Perry says. "All the stars would have to align. But I like aligning stars."
As far as her romantic life, she denies any relationship despite persistent reports she is dating Florence and the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd.
"That's not even appropriate to label," she says. "There are times I go out and meet people and flirt, but it's not really appropriate to have anything serious."
That will come, however, for the still-romantic but "older, wiser" Perry.
"I have a second chance on life. To get maybe a better situation," she says. "For me, right now, I'm totally not looking. I'm just looking to heal. And I'm on that path. I'm not down on love."
As Perry begins to realize she has a live show waiting across town ("I do have to do Jimmy Kimmel at some point!"), she makes clear she's still living the fairy-tale life. It's just a different kind.
"My fairy tale has absolutely changed," she says. "I don't need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.
"I can make the happy ending myself."

Last season's runner-up Dortmund opens at NapoliAP , Associated Press

NAPLES, Italy (AP) — Borussia Dortmund has been waiting for this moment since conceding a winner to Arjen Robben with a minute left in last season's Champions League final.

That bitter loss seems to have heightened Dortmund's focus entering this season and a challenging league opener on Wednesday against a Napoli squad that is notably tough to beat at home.
Dortmund began this campaign by gaining revenge against Bayern Munich with a 4-2 win in the German Super Cup in July — ruining Josep Guardiola's debut in the process — and has gone on to set a club record for its best start to the Bundesliga with five wins.
"The Champions League can come. We're ready," coach Juergen Klopp said following a 6-2 thrashing of Hamburger SV on Saturday.
Napoli is ready, too, though.
The southern Italian squad has also had a perfect league start, winning its opening three matches under new coach Rafa Benitez.
While Edinson Cavani left Napoli for Paris Saint-Germain in a transfer reportedly worth 63 million euros ($84 million), Benitez got his wish when Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon were brought in from Real Madrid as replacements.
Along with attacking midfielder Marek Hamsik, Higuain and Callejon have combined for nine goals in three matches.
Higuain faced Dortmund four times with Madrid last season and didn't score once.
"I want to improve my record," the Argentina forward said. "I want to become part of Napoli's history and dedicate a prestigious trophy to these people. That's what I was bought for."
In the other Group F match, Arsenal visits Marseille with club record signing Mesut Ozil still in doubt after exerting himself in his English Premier League debut on Saturday.
"He was ill and has some tight muscles after Saturday," Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said. "But I think he will be OK. We are optimistic."
A bigger problem is a knee injury to forward Olivier Giroud.
"Hopefully he will be fit," Wenger said. "But it will only be decided (Wednesday)."
Napoli went unbeaten in four Champions League home matches when it reached the round of 16 two seasons ago for its first taste of the top European competition since Diego Maradona was with the club.
Napoli is also unbeaten at home in Serie A since December, having won its last seven matches.
Still, Napoli president and film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis is holding onto the underdog role. He called Dortmund a "three-headed monster."
"They have a manager who has coached them for years, they've improved themselves with (Pierre-Emerick) Aubameyang and they offer chances to a lot of young players," De Laurentiis said.
"We still need to improve while they're in well-tested battle shape. But I'm hoping that Benitez can use his experience to put Klopp in difficulty."
Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl is out for six weeks after injuring his right foot while training on Sunday, although defender Neven Subotic and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan are expected to overcome knocks and be able to play.
Besides Aubameyang, who registered a hat trick in his Bundesliga debut, Dortmund has also been relying on goals from Robert Lewandowski, who is back to his old form after a summer of discontent in which he pushed for a move to Bayern Munich.
Dortmund refused to let him leave but differences were set aside when the club granted him a pay rise for the remaining year of his contract.
Lewandowski scored two goals and set up another in the rout of Hamburg.
"Now comes the Champions League," Lewandowski said. "We want something there too, even if we know that Napoli have a really good team."

"According to a 2005 survey of 102 executive recruiters by ExecuNet, an executive job-search and networking organization, 75% of recruiters use search engines to uncover information about candidates, and 26% of recruiters have eliminated candidates because of information found online.†– College Journal
I don't think I'm the only one that finds the above quote a little disturbing, especially as it's not sensationalism either. On my previous website, Spode's Abode, I was surprised to find out that two forum members were asked about their involvement in the site during job interviews. Luckily these happened to be fairly conscientious forum posters and nothing bad came of it. In fact, bringing the interview around to the topic of their love for computer hardware probably did them some favours.
But there are still alarm bells that ring in my mind, where unlike the above situation I instead picture a scene similar to the Matrix where agent Smith is interrogating Mr Anderson about his online persona of "Neo", with a less than legal background.
One of the biggest problems with the Internet is that it's given everyone a voice, and not everybody was designed to have one. A considerable number of people don't really think about the impact of this voice and write whatever comes into their head without thought for the consequences and often with very little respect for those around them.
Forums are one of the best aspects of the Internet and a great resource of information, but at the same time unless looked after and nurtured can be a complete mess of idiocy.
It's very easy to write a post and click submit. It's a lot harder (on most forums by default almost impossible) to change your mind about it in a few months time. In fact, I had a recent request from a user who wanted his posts removed as he was suffering from depression at the time and didn't want his posts being discovered. Naturally I honoured the request, but not everyone can be so lucky. If you actually do a Google search, you'll be surprised how often forum topics come up – especially when trouble shooting problems (I probably read more forum posts when I'm having a Linux issue than I do articles). On my forums, we had more traffic coming through Google than was being generated by the forum posters themselves. This gives it a bit of a goldfish bowl effect, a small community of people being watched by everyone.
Not everyone is aware that this is the case, but doesn't the fact that thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people are reading your forum posts worry you a little? When you are in a close community, you feel very much at home and will tend to admit to things you probably shouldn't (I've seen many a forum topic about illegal drug use – not a wise idea to publicise). Think twice, as you never know who will be reading it. I myself was very surprised to discover that my own brother was reading almost every post on our forums, without contributing at all. He saw it almost as a soap opera, without ever having the need to take part.
So instead of thinking of your forum post as an irrelevant IM conversation, take a little care. Check your spelling, back up your claims and don't discuss anything you wouldn't disclose to a potential employer. Generally speaking, I tend to avoid any topics on religion and politics. These are better saved for the final hours of a party, when you're all too drunk too remember and philosophical conversations seem like a good idea.
Posting ethics aside, this marks a new era for privacy. It has always been a case of "what you do in your free time is your own businessâ€, but more and more of what people do is affecting their jobs – like the school child who was suspended for discussing his alleged mistreatment on his blog site. With the Internet making it a lot easier to find information than say quizzing the locals, are we going to see a lot more situations like this?
Warnings aside, there are plenty of forum users that know full well what they are writing and quite frankly, if they are stupid enough to put such information online – they deserve to miss out on a job opportunity. Amen to nick names!

" Security wasn't the best in my experience. My locked didn't work so that is about all that needs to be said. The rooms are in the basement of the hotel. They are nice and so are the bathrooms. They were clean in my opinion as well. Atmosphere isn't overly special as it is also a hotel but it's not terrible. The location is a little far from the main sites but it's not terrible. Public transport is good in Berlin so you can get around very easily. "- 匿名の

We're big fans of digital picture frames. The ability to sit down on a sofa with your friends and family and flick through an entire albums worth of photos on an elegant, simple to use device beats rummaging around for a laptop or passing round your digital camera, any day. Moreover, rather than having two dozen photo frames bunched up in the corner of your living room or adorning the walls along your staircase, just a couple of strategically positioned digital frames will provide you with all your family favourites - or in some cases embarrassments! So, digital picture frames are the way forward, but what of this particular model from the relatively unknown Momento?
Well, the i-mate's big selling point is inbuilt WiFi, which can be used to receive photos either directly from your PC or, using the MomentoLive service, via email, MMS, or from RSS and Flickr feeds. You can even invite other people to access your frame and send pictures to it. Just imagine coming home to find brand new pictures, of your friend's holiday or your grandchildren taking their first steps, already loaded onto your picture frame ready for you to look at. So long as you trust who you give access to the facility, it makes for quite a fun feature.
Unfortunately, you only get a three month free subscription to these online services, after which you'll have to pay £19.99 a year. Obviously this isn't a huge amount but, as you'll see later, when the functionality of the frame takes a dive without these services, the value of the frame itself comes into question.
First impressions are very good with a simple matt white inner frame nestled in a clear Plexiglass outer frame making for a suitably sleek yet unobtrusive look. Given it's nearly identical to the Philips frame we looked at back in February, the design can't exactly be called original but it is certainly a classic that should look good in almost any setting.
Build quality isn't quite so impressive and the frame lets off the odd squeak and rattle as you manhandle it. It won't fall apart anytime soon, I'm sure, but for a device that's meant to be held and passed around, it's these little tactile elements that make all the difference. Also, the stand is attached by a screw, which requires undoing if you want to flip the frame from vertical to horizontal. This is a cumbersome solution and I don't see any reason why a single corner stand, like that on the Philips frame, couldn't have been used instead. There's also no options for wall mounting but, considering you'd need to have an unsightly power cable hanging from the bottom, this isn't a major oversight.
