The two Bollywood celebrities have apparently made the decision of not following the instruction of the choreographer. After watching him dance and after it was explained to them the entire dance routine, the two beautiful actresses decided it was not fit for them.
They got at home and hired their personal choreographer to show them a totally different dance than the presented on the set. The following day they exposed an entirely different routine. In order to make it even more exiting, both of them decided to add quite a lot of jhatkas and latkas. Of course the choreographer was not to please about this sudden chance. He was left thinking was did he do so wrong.
As all may know by now, both Priyanka Chopra and Rani Mukherjee will be performing on the date of December 31 at the Big STAR Entertainment awards. The event is meant to honor all of the most interesting and outstanding talents of the Bollywood entertainment industry. The show is expected to be a memorable one.

perfect paint job
if i sandblast to bare metal do I still need to do 80 grit DA scratches?
sand blast ?
I had my model A pickup bed sand blasted and even after washing, blowing with air a few times I still ended up with sand in the color coat. I only sand blast bits and pieces that can't trap sand.
What do you plan on sand blasting? DO NOT sand blast sheetmetal body panels! It is VERY dangerous as you can warp them VERY easily.
But if a piece of metal sand blasted doesn't need any sanding unless it was pretty coarse sand that was used to blast it. In that case 120 would be better.
I have always sanded with 80 grit with a DA after sandblasting!! Primer is a mechanical bond and those scratches make a great base. Also DA'ing you get rid of any dust etc hiding in crevices ( microscopic ) that sandblaster made that air may not be able to get out. Not sure if I need to, I just always have and never have had an issue..

Tillamook Passage: Far Side of the Pacific.
By: Brian D. Ratty.
Availability: Usually ships in 1-5 days.
Published: Authorhouse, 2011.
Joseph Blackwell, a lad without prospects, befriends a mysterious sea
captain and secures a berth on his ship. The year is 1787, and two
American ships laden with supplies set sail from Boston Harbor. Their
venture: to round Cape Horn and sail to the Northwest coast of America,
to trade with the Indians for sea otter pelts. Once their cargo is
secured, they will sail to China via the Sandwich Islands and trade the
valuable skins for tea, before returning to Boston via the Cape of Good
Hope.During their stormy passage, the two ships lose contact with each
other. As a result, the sloop Lady Washington, commanded by Captain
Robert Gray, must proceed on her own. Reaching the uncharted Northwest
coast, they discover native villages on a large, pristine bay which Gray
names after the Indians: Tillamook.Barter, initially friendly, gives
way to a surprise attack. During the battle, Joe Blackwell and an
African cabin boy become separated from the ship, and must hide from the
marauding natives. With musket and cannon, Gray holds off the attackers
while setting sail. From the rocks above, the two young men watch in
frightened disbelief as the sloop vanishes into a foggy sea. The two
young men are now marooned, in a remote and primitive land.Their
struggle, playing out against endless forests, rugged mountains and
bountiful waters, is an epic tale of clashing cultures, fate, trust,
love and conflict. The lads approach their futures quite differently,
one pining for home and family, while the other aspires to Indian
leadership. Tillamook Passage is a thrilling testament to the iron will,
brave hearts and sharp wits of the gritty explorers who came before
us.Two worlds... one destiny.

De Blasio's Long, and Lucky, Campaign
Bill de Blasio will be the next mayor of New York, the Associated Press has called.
He wins with a mandate and praise for his skills as a political operator. He was right that voters were hungry for something different from Bloomberg, and he gave them a consistent message of change. But after a rough start to his campaign, de Blasio also benefitted from five lucky breaks.
After the lop-sided general election polls, it's easy to forget that only twelve weeks ago, de Blasio looked like an unlikely winner.
"Look, this has been a really long road," de Blasio said a week before Election Day. "I started out as the underdog for sure. I was the underdog for a long time, but once the momentum built, it's never stopped."
For many months, before de Blasio leapt to the front of the polls in mid-August, it looked like he couldn't catch a break. De Blasio faced three major setbacks during the primary season.
Setback number one: One of his chief attacks against Chris Quinn got neutralized.
"People in this city know why we need paid sick days," de Blasio declared at a press conference in January, days before he officially launched his campaign. He was joined by activists and frustrated council members who hammered Speaker Christine Quinn on bottling up the bill. "It's astounding that after a thousand days we are still having to have these press conferences," de Blasio said.
Then, city council made a deal on paid sick leave in March, and Quinn was the hero.
"If I miss anyone because there's a big crowd, just holler," Quinn said in front of cameras at City Hall, where she was surrounded as she announced the compromise plan. Tellingly, she was also joined by some labor leaders.
That was setback number two: Big Labor wasn't convinced de Blasio was their guy.
Despite his long ties to union, de Blasio got just one major endorsement in the primary, from health care workers. Christine Quinn got building and hotel workers. The coveted teacher's union bet on Bill Thompson.
This was big trouble for Bill de Blasio, the conventional wisdom went. Unlike other candidates, labor was supposed to be his base. Christine Quinn had carved her ground as the establishment choice, with an appeal to history as the first woman and openly gay candidate. Bill Thompson, the only black candidate, was counting on a demographic advantage in a majority minority primary electorate.
Or maybe, without labor consensus, de Blasio could create a path to victory through the outer boroughs.
But then, setback number three: Anthony Weiner.
When Weiner joined the race in May, his chutzpah and message – about those in the middle class and struggling to make it – crowded out de Blasio's tale of two cities.
It was temporary.
"Umm, I have said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have," Weiner told the world in July.
Weiner's downfall was lucky break number one for de Blasio.
But the impact of Weiner's fall wasn't immediately clear."If you had asked me before the scandal yesterday who was in the runoff, I would've told you Quinn and Thompson, and if you asked me after the scandal today, the answer is Quinn and Thompson," Bradley Tusk, Bloomberg's 2009 campaign manager, said at the time.
That was before Dante.
"I want to tell you a little bit about Bill de Blasio," de Blasio's teenage son said in the now-famous television ad that started running the second week of August. The ad, and Dante's prominent afro, introduced New Yorkers to de Blasio as the candidate whose family looked like New York.
The decision to run the ad was strategically masterful.
And the timing was helped by lucky break number two: the leading Democrats had started to flounder.
Quinn couldn't escape a trail of protesters or the lingering discontent about her support of Bloomberg's third term.
"I would've been for Christine Quinn four years ago, but I can't forgive her for the third term. I just can't," Yvonna Balfour, a 50-ish Chelsea resident who should have been a core Quinn supporter, said in August. She'd decided to go for de Blasio.
And for Bill Thompson, next to de Blasio's multi-racial family that was new on the scene, he looked stale.
"Bill Thompson, already had a try and he lost, so let me give somebody else a chance," Deyon Roman, a Carribbean American voter in Crown Heights, said along the West Indian Day parade route over Labor Day weekend, where the entire de Blasio family was greeted as celebrities.
De Blasio's momentum crested at just the right moment.
"The NYC Board of Elections says that with all precincts reporting, Bill de Blasio has 40.12 percent, a whisker above the forty-percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff," WNYC's Amy Eddings reported the day after the primary election.
Lucky break number three: No run-off, by a hair.
Thompson, Quinn, John Liu and the rest of the Democrats split just so – and De Blasio won the Democratic primary outright. Bill Thompson came in second, and after waiting a few days to watch decimal points and late vote counts, he conceded.
"There is nothing more beautiful than Democratic unity. And thank you for it," de Blasio declared after Thompson dropped out.
De Blasio could avoid another bruising few weeks of campaigning within his party, and focus on his Republican opponent.
Lucky break number four: The billionaire in the mayoral debate.
Not Michael Bloomberg, but John Catsimatidis.
The deep-pocketed businessman self-financed a series of attack ads against Lhota in the primary. One declared, "As MTA chairman, Joe Lhota raised subway fares and bridge tolls. John Catsimatidis will never do that."
Lhota won the GOP primary, but lost the Republican stronghold of Staten Island to Catsimatidis.
After all those ads, in the first general election poll, more likely voters had an unfavorable view of Joe Lhota than favorable. More than a quarter of Republicans didn't like him.
Joe Lhota tried to run as a manager who could be trusted, who was a different sort of Republican.
"Bill de Blasio is pro-choice. Joe Lhota is pro-choice," said his first television ad. "Joe Lhota supports gay marriage. Bill de Blasio supports gay marriage."
Lucky break number five: Lhota's bad timing.
Their first debate coincided with the government shutdown and debt ceiling standoff in Washington. National opinions about the Republican Party were hitting historic lows, and de Blasio repeatedly linked his opponent to the federal impasse.
"The Republican Party has brought us right up to the brink of disaster, especially the Tea Party faction," de Blasio said after the debate, in which he repeatedly mentioned Lhota's primary visit with Tea Party supporters. "You'll never see me in a room with Tea Party leaders"
There were still more fortuitous developments for de Blasio, including the Lhota campaign's inconsistent attacks on de Blasio or the timing of federal court rulings on stop and frisk and campaign finance.
And in the end, the guy who at first looked pretty unlucky found a sweeping mandate for his sweeping message.
Bill de Blasio correctly read the city's latent Bloomberg fatigue. With his tale of two cities and call to tax the rich to pay for pre-K, he tapped New Yorkers' longing to find a candidate who got their individual struggles.
But in the primary and the general, Bill de Blasio's electoral fortunes were also lifted in ways that even the smartest tactician of New York politics couldn't predict.

When I clicked on the Mobile Apps tab, I was brought to a page that provided descriptions of the many apps that the company offers its retail and institutional clients. At the end of each app description, there are links to download the apps from either iTunes or Google Play. Makes sense, right? No, not really. When was the last time you could download an app to the desktop, or am I just missing something? Wait, the plot thickens.
I was curious to know how the company's mobile website appeared and functioned, so I went to find out. Once on the mobile website, I noticed that the bottom navigation tabs were very similar to the desktop website tabs mentioned above, including the tab titled Mobile Apps. When I touched on the Mobile Apps tab, I was brought to the exact same page that appears on the desktop version of the website. Strange, yes, but at least the offering to download apps via iTunes and Google Play makes sense in this situation.
So what's going on here? To me, it appears as though the company's marketing team is attempting to, or actually does, repurpose content. It seems as though the Mobile Apps page's content was created for both sites when, in actuality, it only works correctly on the mobile platform. Of course, time, money and resources can be saved by repurposing content, but should the user experience weigh in the balance and suffer? In my mind, it shouldn't.
As with campaigns which feature QR Codes, my question to JPMorgan's marketing team is, did you thoroughly test the user experience and judge how well it works from the client's perspective, or did you just try to take the easy way out and work off of the lowest common denominator (i.e., the 'solution' for both desktop and mobile platforms)?
Note: I did not even get into how the design and layout of the company's mobile website seems to be a mix between mobile (top half of home page) and desktop (lower half of home page). Strange.

The President's Pen is a weekly blog written by Jonathan Smith, New Vision's President and CEO about local economic development projects and initiatives. It also covers economic trends, workforce issues, business climate policies, and manufacturing news.
Our community's new recreational vehicle manufacturer is going like gangbusters these days. Adventurer RV located their new manufacturing facility near the Yakima airport in 2008. Since then they have weathered the recession and continued to put down roots in Yakima. The company, headquartered near Vancouver British Columbia, has been in business for over 40 years. One of the secrets to their stability is that they operate one of the largest fleets of rental campers across Canada. All of the company's initial production in Yakima was shipped back north to help rejuvenate their fleet of rental campers.
More recently Adventurer acquired the assets of Eagle Cap campers, a United States company that had facilities in Oregon. This new truck camper line diversifies Adventurer's mix of recreational vehicles and helps keep the Yakima plant busy. The company has also started to produce motorhomes at their facility.
According to plant manager Jeff Gaskell, "Our sales to Canada and the United States are picking up and that further bolsters our production load in Yakima." The company now has over 90 employees and expects to add more workers in the year ahead. As a result of the company's growth, Adventurer recently added a second production line to their Yakima plant.
Gaskell is pleased with the company's Yakima facility: "The labor force is solid. We have a good core group or employees resulting in low turnover." He also cited that our region's central location helps the company because of its proximity to key suppliers and end markets.
New Vision helped the company get established in Yakima. Adventurer needed help securing state business licenses and tax credits. It was an interesting experience for our office because the company had no real knowledge of how to get their U.S. based manufacturing operation established. We also helped the company recruit Jeff Gaskell back to Yakima. He worked for Trailwagons but had moved to Idaho after the company closed a few years back. It's good to have Jeff back in our community and see Adventurer do well in our Valley.

German squad defensive tactics stressed the importance of integration with larger plans and the principle of posts scattered in depth. The individual Schützengruppe (squad) was expected to dig in on a frontage 30 or 40 meters, this being the maximum that a squad leader could effectively oversee in a defending battle. Major landmarks, such as single trees or crests were best shunned as too attractive to enemy fire. During the digging, one member of the squad was to stand sentry, preventing surprise from ground or air. Gaps between squads might be left, although covered by fire. Key to the defense was the location of the machine gun, which would be given several alternative positions, perhaps 50 or more meters apart, that were identified from the outset. It would cover longer range targets, while the riflemen, who might well be held further back, were concerned mainly with sweeping the terrain at close and very close range.
The usual deployment would see the men of the squad in pairs in foxholes, trenches, or ditches, posted close enough to communicate with their partner. These little sub-section nests would be slightly separated, echeloned, or at different levels, thus decreasing the effect of enemy fire. In the event that the enemy attack did not materialize immediately, the second phase of construction would see the digging of trenches behind the main line in which much of the squad could be kept back under cover until needed. Good camouflage was complemented by the avoidance of any obvious movement to attract enemy observation. The defensive fire fight was iniciated by the machine gun at effective range, riflemen remaining concealed until the enemy assault, at which all were to open fire regardless of cover. Hand grenades falling on the position were to be dealt with either by the men diving away into cover, or by picking up the grenade and throwing it back.
In the latter part of World War II, there was particular emphasis on resistance to armor. Ideal defensive positions were therefore on a tank-proof obstacle, equipped with at least one anti-tank weapon, capable of all round defense, and having artillery support directed by a forward observer. Active patrols with anti-tank weapons, as small as a single squad, were to be encouraged to intercept enemy tanks probing a defense.

Church Members stand in a long line of prophetic voices. Standing alongside the poor; the marginalised; the disenfranchised.
Now is your chance to speak out for those Jesus befriended. Hold your MP to Account
Join with Church Action on Poverty, Church Urban Fund and other organisations to lead the way in protecting the poor; and proclaiming God's will for his world.
Real accountability requires dialogue, so local groups of committed Christians (and others) agree to meet with their MP to discuss issues of concern. It is an opportunity to raise issues which are not normally part of an MP's surgery; but it can prove valuable indeed.
The political agenda is largely set by the national media, and usually does not reflect the concerns of ordinary people. If we are to make our views count at all in national politics, we need to be able to talk to our MP about these issues, and for the MP to listen not just to feed us the party line. This would also help MPs to understand where their constituents are coming from on particular issues, and to use those views to inform their discussions and debates in Westminster.
Most MPs are likely to welcome support from local groups who are able to commit to getting a good number of people together, to enable them to sound out on issues, listen to constituents views and learn how they have been voting. Your aim should be to build a long-term relationship, and engender trust and mutual respect even when you disagree!
This is also a great opportunity to engage with new MPs of which there are a high number at the moment. They are just beginning to establish ways of being accountable to their electorate.
We invite your church, Churches Together group (or any other local group you are part of) to join our MP accountability network.
Democratic accountability will be hugely strengthened if groups across the country are willing to hold our MPs to account on a regular and ongoing basis. By working together, we can ensure that issues we care passionately about poverty, social justice, climate change are firmly on the political agenda.
To help you hold your MP accountable, we will provide you with advice, support and quarterly briefings on issues you can raise with your MP and ways of monitoring what they are doing on your behalf at Westminster. You are, of course, more than welcome to raise issues of your own!
How often would we need to meet our MP?
There is no hard and fast rule, though it will probably make sense to plan around three accountability meetings a year one for each Parliamentary term. The best time to meet is likely to be at the weekend (Friday evening/Saturday morning) as MPs are in Westminster during the week.
What issues would we raise with our MP?
Hot local topics are likely to get a good turnout at the meeting and your MP should want to hear what you have to say. We will also provide at least three briefings a year on issues including topics currently being debated in Parliament, which you can press your MP on, or hear their views.
What support will we receive as part of the MP Accountability Network?
· Three to four briefings a year on topical issues to raise with your MP
· Access to training on how to hold your MP to account
· Information on how to keep up to date with what your MP is doing in Parliament
Yes, we want to hold our MP to account
We are willing to hold our MP to account for their actions on a regular basis. Please sign us up for the MP Accountability Network:

Appreciation of Printing: Stamps, an Inherited Love
Yankee Legend Joe DiMaggio is immortalized on a stamp due out in 2012.
The infamous "inverted Jenny" printing error on the postage stamp.
With all of the talk about digital alternatives and printers abandoning their heritage in favor of the moniker "marketing services provider," a salute to the art and craft of printing is long overdue. Look no further than the proud-yet-humble postage stamp for a prime example of timeless printing.
The stamp is an amazing way to view the world, its history, people and culture, places and events, moments in time and the subtleties of life. Jesus Christ has been celebrated on postage stamps. So has Adolph Hitler. Bunnies and butterflies. Malaria and war. Dag Bumstead and Dag Hammarskjold. Benjamin Franklin and Homer Simpson. Politicians, scientists, poets, musicians, astronomers, explorers, doctors, inventors—the list goes on and on. Even chickens have graced stamps.
John Johnson collected stamps as a child, like many boys of his generation. But Johnson, the manager of Palm Beach County's graphics division in Greenacres, FL, didn't become a hard-core collector (and philatelist) until his mother gave him his grandfather's collection—a whopping 64-album assemblage.
"When mom gave me my grandfather's stamp collection, my wife said, 'Oh no, not another hobby!' " recalls Johnson, also an avid train enthusiast who is drawn toward trains on stamps.
"Since I'm in the printing industry and know my way around layout programs, I have designed many album pages with extensive background information explaining the train subjects, all printed on 100 percent cotton fiber paper," adds Johnson, who has done similar pages for topical collections, including Civil War generals, cowboys, movie stars and presidents, among other themes.
"I have enjoyed researching about the locomotives and their builders. The 1994 set of five locomotive stamps (Scott catalog numbers 2843-2847) is a good example. I wrote a long explanation about each locomotive and a biography of the designer/builder of the locomotive. All very interesting stories. The researcher at the Postal Service that chose the five examples of late 19th century locomotive designs picked an excellent group to show the progression and diversity for that period."

Movie Jobs | Film Jobs
Page updated 3/1/2016
Film and video editors and camera operators record images that entertain or inform an audience. Camera operators capture a wide range of material for TV shows, motion pictures, music videos, documentaries, or news and sporting events. Editors construct the final productions from the many different images camera operators capture. They collaborate with producers and directors to create the final production.
Most camera operators work in the motion picture industry or television broadcasting. Editors are employed largely by the motion picture industry, although some work in broadcasting.
Camera operators typically need a bachelor's degree and some on-the-job training. Most film editors have a bachelor's degree and several years of experience as an assistant to a film editor.
The median annual wage of camera operators was $40,390 in May 2010. The median annual wage of film and video editors was $50,930 in May 2010.
Employment of film and video editors and camera operators is projected to grow 4 percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. These occupations should have intense competition for jobs, and those with more experience at a TV station or on a film set will likely have the best job prospects.
Compare the job duties, education, job growth, and pay of film and video editors and camera operators with similar occupations.
Film and video editors and camera operators record images that entertain or inform an audience. Camera operators capture a wide range of material for TV shows, motion pictures, music videos, documentaries, or news and sporting events. Editors construct the final productions from the many different images that camera operators capture. They collaborate with producers and directors to create the final production.
Camera operators and film and video editors typically do the following:
Most camera operators have one or more assistants working
under their supervision. The assistants set up the camera
equipment and may be responsible for storing it and caring
for it. They also help the operator determine the best
shooting angle and make sure that the camera stays in focus.
Likewise, editors usually have a few assistants. The assistant supports the editor by keeping track of each shot in a database. Assistants may do some editing themselves.
The increased use of digital filming has changed the work of many camera operators and editors. Many camera operators prefer using digital cameras, because these instruments give the operator more angles to shoot from. Digital cameras have also changed the job of some camera assistants: instead of loading film or choosing lenses, they download digital images or choose a type of software program to use with the camera.
Nearly all editing work is done on a computer, and editors often are trained in a specific type of editing software.
The following are examples of types of camera operators.
Studio camera operators work in a broadcast studio and videotape their subjects from a fixed position. There may be one or several cameras in use at a time. Operators normally follow directions that give the order of the shots. They often have time to practice camera movements before shooting begins. If they are shooting a live event, they must be able to make adjustments at a moment's notice and follow the instructions of the show's director.
Electronic news gathering (ENG) operators work on location as part of a reporting team. ENG operators follow events as they unfold and often record live events or breaking news. To capture these events, operators must anticipate the action and act quickly to shoot it. They sometimes edit their own footage in the field and then send it back to a studio to be broadcast.
Cinematographers film motion pictures. They usually have
a team of camera operators and assistants working under
them. They determine the best angles and types of cameras to
capture a shot.
They may use stationary cameras that shoot whatever passes in front of them or use a camera mounted on a track and move around the action. Some operators sit on cranes and follow the action. Others carry the camera on their shoulder while they move around the action.
Some cinematographers specialize in filming cartoons or special effects. Videographers film or videotape private ceremonies or special events, such as weddings. They also may work with companies and make corporate documentaries on a variety of topics. Some videographers post short videos on websites for businesses. Most videographers edit their own material.
Many videographers run their own business or do freelance work. They may submit bids, write contracts, and get permission to shoot on locations that may not be open to the public. They also get copyright protection for their work and keep financial records.

Two Graves County residents - one of whom faces an animal cruelty charge - face multiple drug charges after they were arrested Tuesday.
Theresa Girard Moreland, 56, of Cuba and Bryan Girard, 34, of Mayfield were arrested after a search of Moreland's home, according to Graves County Sheriff Dewayne Redmon.
Redmon said detectives with the Graves County and Marshall County drug divisions searched it after receiving information about illegal activity and obtaining a warrant.
During the search, methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found, as well as several prescription pills in unmarked pill bottles.
Detectives also found a dog that belonged to Moreland. The sheriff's department said the dog was malnourished and in poor health. A Graves County Animal Control officer took possession of the dog.
Moreland was charged with first degree, second offense possession of meth; possession of marijuana; third degree possession of a controlled substance; prescription not in proper container; possession of drug paraphernalia, and second degree animal cruelty.
Girard was charged with first degree possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, third degree possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Steve Jobs was a genius and showman. Apple products revolutionized the way we live, making the company and its co-founders legendary. As storyteller Mike Daisey notes in The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs: "If you control the metaphor, you control the world."
It's Daisey's mission to critique that world -- and he does so with passion and thoughtfulness at the Public Theater. A monologist (The Last Cargo Cult) who views storytelling as a form of social activism, Daisey embraces Apple technology -- the MacBook Air is "so thin you could slice a sandwich with it" -- and sends up the obsessions it spawns -- with comic glee.
But his love of Apple's creativity, which he happily extols, and Jobs' entrepreneurial ingenuity, which he salutes, don't inure him to its dark side. All devices -- iPod, iPad, iPhone -- use operating systems users can only download. Think you own your device? Think again. It may have been founded as an anarchic company, but today, Apple is more Big Brother.
Despite its title, Agony and Ecstasy is less about Steve Jobs and more a harrowing look at the cost of his dreams. Daisey travels to China to investigate the factories where millions toil to make iDevices, and his eye-opening journey exposes the human cost of creating them.
Jobs' quest for technical perfection begat a ruthlessness -- both in his micromanaging style at home and his disregard for human rights abroad, specifically, the hideous, dehumanizing working conditions at Foxconn in China, where 50% of all electronics are made.
Ten years ago, Apple computers were assembled in the U.S., now its in-demand wares are built in China under appalling labor conditions -- poor health care, an epidemic of suicides and children as young as 12 working 12-hour days in mind-numbing, physically damaging factories. Conditions that were condemned in the U.S. 90 years ago, leading to massive reforms and child-labor laws, are commonplace in China.
More disturbing is their genesis: Tim Cook, now Apple's new CEO, spearheaded the initiatives at Foxconn.
And that's Daisey's ultimate focus. It wasn't China that created such horrendous conditions; it was American corporations. He slams our naïveté (and the media's) and our willingness to ignore ugly realities. But his real rage -- and sorrow -- is directed at his fallen idol, Steve Jobs.
Jobs transformed the world with innovative devices. He had the power, influence and economic clout to transform the way they were made -- and did nothing.
Daisey's story telling is funny and illuminating; he doesn't preach, he's an artistic muckraker. But cutting 15 minutes would tighten his tale and heighten dramatic moments. Similarly, less profanity is more; used sparingly, it would better punctuate particular outrages -- and there are many.
Still, he should be applauded for telling the truth. We all revel in the glory of Apple; we rarely note the egregious practices its success sustains. While the media celebrates Jobs' vision, it should also note his blindness to human suffering. Behind Apple's pristine façade is a very dirty picture.
On a purer note, if Beckett wrote a children's play, it would be White, part of the New Victory's fall lineup at the New 42nd St. Studios. It features two whimsical characters -- Cotton (Andy Manley) and Wrinkle (Ian Cameron) -- who live together in a world of texture and hue, but limited to a single palette: white. Their mission -- and this could be interpreted in many philosophical ways -- is to reject all color.
A hint of green, a whisper of pink is quickly tossed in the trash, much to the delight of the toddler audience. But into this orderly, monochromatic environ, where birds sing and uniformity and routine are prized, comes a colorful surprise. And once it does, life for the two friends will never be the same.
White is created by Catherine Wheels, an award-winning Scottish children's theater company. Unlike the sentimental shows often staged for kids, White champions minimalist humor and gentle absurdity. The music and lighting perfectly compliment the performers. There is a sense of wonder wrapped in quiet charm.

Oh my… today Justine introduces us to an insanely clever Japanese design duo… Cochae are a graphic design unit based in Tokyo and run by Yosuke Jikuhara and Miki Takeda. Much of their work is inspired by Origami…! I LOVE it! Why has nobody else ever thought to turn a pair of denim overalls into an elephant, huh!? Genius! – Lucy x
Just brilliant! Super creative folds for Milk Magazine shoot. Oh, how I love Mr Elephant.
Postcard designs for Amanohashidate
I would have to say the most rewarding part of my recent trip to Tokyo was meeting up with designers whose works I have been admiring for ages and ages. Talk about star-struck! That's exactly how I felt. I left each encounter on a tremendous high, and in awe of these talented creatives who spend their days making playful products for people all around the world to enjoy. A tough gig huh?
When I think of playful products, I think of Cochae. Ahh, my two loves – origami and graphic design in perfect synergy. Cochae are a graphic design unit based in Tokyo and run by Yosuke Jikuhara and Miki Takeda. Origami is the basis of their designs and together they explore ways of taking it beyond traditional Japanese paper folding and to an all new level of fun!
Setting up for a show always requires a lot of folding!
A series of bright and colourful characters created by Cochae for Playtime Paris (a tradeshow dedicated to kiddy stuff).
I caught up with one half of Cochae, Yosuke Jikuhara in Tokyo recently and it was great to meet him in person after a year of communicating via email. Finally I had the chance to see his work up close instead of through my computer screen, hooray for that! I love Cochae's graphic illustrations and clever folding tricks and it seems so does Tokyo. You'll find Cochae creations all over this city and not just their paper puzzles but their books and graphic design work too. Yep, there's some serious talent and skill between this creative duo.
Beautiful images from a book by Cochae about Japanese Kokeshi Dolls
The gorgeous Orimato Dolls
My favourite Cochae creation would have to be their Orimato Dolls. There's nothing like paper dolls to get my heart racing. I love how flat sheets of paper turn into an adorable family of 5, with just a few folds. It's magic!
Flyer design for Faifai TV in Japan
Just some of the funny faces you can fold with Cochae's Funny Face Puzzle cards
Funny Face is another awesome idea from Cochae and it was awarded the prestigious Good Design Award in 2008. Whether you're feeling happy, sad, ecstatic or just downright cranky, you can create a face to reflect your mood with these cheeky origami cards. And guess what? For the next two weeks, we'll include a funny face card inside every order. So if you place an order at our little shop of paper and folds by September 15, there will be a funny face waiting for you to fold any which way you choose!
Next up I'll take you on a tour of some of my favourite online Japanese shops.

With one day of early voting left before Election Day Tuesday, Portage County has surpassed the early vote tally for the 2008 presidential election.
Faith Lyon, director of the Portage County Board of Elections, said 6,014 people voted in person before Election Day in 2008. As of Saturday, 6,898 Portage County residents have voted early this year.
This weekend was the first time Portage County held early voting on a Sunday. Lyon said the weekend was busy, as it was the only weekend county election boards could hold early voting hours, per order of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
Early voting lines were fairly short until last week.
"The real lines started last week," Lyon said. "(Sunday was) probably the biggest day."
Lyon said 436 turned out to vote Saturday, and estimated that Sunday drew an equal or greater turnout.
Although some groups and colleges have bused voters to the Board of Elections in Ravenna, Lyon said the turnout has mostly been individuals.
"Some people just don't want to go to the poles on Election Day because they're afraid of long lines," she said. "Everyone has their own reasons."
Streetsboro resident Keith Johnson was among the couple hundred people in line to vote Sunday.
With his work hours taking up most of his Tuesday, Johnson said he decided to vote early for the first time this year.
After waiting in line for about an hour, Johnson was about halfway through the line.
"I just wanted to get in and get my vote counted," he said, adding that he didn't expect the wait to be as long as it was. "After an hour you feel committed, but it's worth it. I could be watching some football, but I just felt like getting my vote in."
Lyon said early voters and poll watchers alike have remained calm and civil leading up to the election.
"Everyone has upheld themselves very well," she said. "I think it's out of respect. When you wait in line for a couple hours, people could get cranky, but people are being very kind."

- - Q's on creatine... (http://www.mmaforum.com/training-nutrition/59360-qs-creatine.html)
Q's on creatine...
I'm 18 and I have been working out for well over a year. I'm currently taking protein, and I've heard a lot about creatine and all of it good.
I'm a bit confused on what exactly it does, and what it will do if you discontinue it's use... I've also heard that you can take creatine in caps rather than the powder. Is there a difference? Because I'm leading more towards the caps if I do start myself on it, because I'm trying to gain muscle but keep my calories low. What's the difference? Is there any?
And also, if I do discontinue use sometime down the road what can I expect - though I'll still be working out daily if I do stop taking it.
ive heard that alot of the strong olympians use it and that it does help build muscles but you still have to workout
I workout daily.
NO Shotgun.......enough said:thumb02:
N.O Shotgun......its a type of Creatine: http://www.bestpricenutrition.com/vp...FRKIxwodaWyCaw
A guy I work out with told me creatine causes muscle cramps. Have any of you that teke it, experienced this?
Once you drink the creatine you want to chase it with something like Gatorade because the gatorade has electrolites that will help deliver the creatine to your muscles, often people who cramp simply are not hydrated correctly.....
I take NO Xplode...
Creatine helps in the repair of muscle fiber and makes your muscles hold water you may have a little bloated feeling from this. Creatine is the hands down the most studied supplement on the market today, due to rumors of kidney and liver damage. To have this type of side effect you would have to ingest more than your body would let you over a period of time (i mean a lot.)
Caps vs powder: The difference is the absorbancy rating powders that are dissolved are always going to absorb more into your body than caps and are going to work faster as well, if you can get pre mixed that has already broken down it will be the best but the cost would go up significantly. a lot of the supplements that people ingest are filtered through the kidneys or liver and flushed out of the body.
Going off: There are no side effects to coming off creatine. However your body takes a little while to get used to something new this is why NO Xplode and NO Shotgun recommend that you start with a small dose and work up to it (they also have other properties that factor in.) The same sould be used when coming off anything, just taper off (in this case maybe over a couple days) this way it is not as jarring to your muscles and you will not hinder any results. I recommend a 6 week cycle to help keep from a plateau effect.
I order form www.dpsnutrition.net :thumb02:
Here's a quick answer.
Creatine is used by your muscles to create energy, ATP. There are two other ways your body can create energy (aerboic and anaerboic) using glucose, but creatine is by far the fastest. When it comes to strength training, it's extremely helpful. The more energy your muscles have, the more weight/reps you can lift, and the bigger your muscles will get.
Creatine's effective because your muscles are not at full creatine storage capacity. Thus, the additional creatine you consume fills that void.
If you discontinue it, nothing detrimental will happen. You may lose some strength and stamina, but nothing as far as health risks.
If you can stick with the powder. It's a lot cheaper. You can get 3 months worth for under $20. It's tasteless. You can add it to water, and you won't even taste it (it'll just have a sandy feel).
Don't let people convince you that you need a special creatine. Creatine monohydrate is fine. The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition just released a report not too long ago that claims "all creatines are created equal thus far." So, don't spend $40 on a creatine product. Plus, creatine ethyl ester tastes horrible.
Start with a loading dose, around 20 grams per day split into 4 doses, for 3-5 days, and then take 5 grams prior to your workout and 5 grams after your workout.
Many people will tell you to drink plenty of water while taking it to avoid muscle cramps. It's a good idea, but it's never been proven to work.
You really have nothing to worry about. It has the most scientific evidence behind it, and it's one of the safest dietary supplements on the market. Clinicians have even been studying it in the elderly.

"Extrados and ReVamp! have been mainstays in the Twin Cities for decades. We both are regularly featured in the media because we are sought out experts in the field. Working under one roof will embolden the offerings that we have provided to clients for years."
The new business will operate under the ReVamp! name effective September 1st.
Existing Extrados clients can continue to book appointments with their regular service providers by calling 612-920-0051.

Still haven't made New Year's Eve plans? Never fear: We've put together a guide for procrastinators, organized by the type of party you're looking for.
Please note: Some prices are subject to change, and events will sell out.
I want fancy cocktails.
The Gibson has an open-bar USO-themed party with $150 tickets, a World War II vibe and ...
Sorry. I want fancy cocktails, but I don't want to pay that much of a cover charge.
Gotcha. PX and Bar TNT are open as normal, and TNT will have $4 punches all night. 2 Birds 1 Stone, Iron Gate, Bar Charley, Bar Pilar, Mockingbird Hill, Bourbon Steak and Hank's on the Hill will all be open with cover charges on the usual first-come, first-served basis.
In Silver Spring, Sidebar is open as usual, with free hors d'oeuvres, but you can also buy an advance ticket for $50 that allows unlimited drinks and, more importantly, guarantees a seat.
The Passenger and Hogo will be open as usual until 9 p.m. After that, you'll pay $10 to get into a joint "Block Party" afterwards that offers '80s music in the Warehouse Theatre space, late-night tacos, a champagne toast and a la carte cocktails.
I prefer beer. Where should I go?
D.C.'s beer bars have big plans for New Year's Eve, no matter your price point. Meridian Pint is bringing back its "Old and Sour" theme, with 10 vintage ales on draft, including a 2010 keg of Avery's Mephistopheles' Stout, and a 2011 Firestone Walker Parabola, and 10 funky sour ales. (The full list is here.) Sister bar Smoke and Barrel plans to tap 13 "dark and delicious drafts," predominantly dark ales and stouts aged in bourbon or wine barrels. As a bonus, the bar offers its usual Taco Tuesday deal, with $5 taco platters all night.
For bigger spenders, consider ChurchKey or Bluejacket. Either ticket will set you back $160, and includes unlimited beer (55 drafts at ChurchKey, 25 house-brewed beers at Bluejacket), passed hors d'oeuvres and a midnight toast. Space is limited; click to see the beer lists and buy tickets for ChurchKey or Bluejacket.
Dogfish Head Alehouse is hosting five-course beer dinners in Falls Church and Gaithersburg with seatings from 7 to 9 p.m. ($55) and 10 p.m. to midnight ($65). The latter seating includes a toast of vintage Dogfish Head beer at midnight.
I'd like to play games – skee-ball, shuffleboard – with my friends.
Penn Social, home to skee-ball lanes, shuffleboard, indoor corn hole and giant Connect Four and Jenga sets, is hosting a party that combines the usual DJs and dancing with Pop-A-Shot, corn hole and skee-ball tournaments. The $30 ticket includes one drink ticket.
Tickets to H Street Country Club's party ($69 in advance, $85 at the door) include mini-golf as well as five hours of open bar, plus access to their shuffleboard and skee-ball games.
Buffalo Billards will be open as usual, so you can choose from pool, darts, ping-pong, shuffleboard, foosball and skee-ball, and just pay the usual hourly or per-game rates.
I want to hear live music.
We've covered this in a separate post at the beginning of December. Some of the much-touted events are now sold out, such as Trombone Shorty at the 9:30 club and the Legwarmers at the State Theatre, but tickets for others remain, including Carl Thomas and Angela Winbush at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda, Musiq Soulchild at the Howard Theatre, U.S. Royalty at the Sphinx Club and Dr. John and Wanda Jackson at the Hamilton.
I want a party with a theme.
The Brixton takes its inspiration for its "psychedelic evening of visual stimulation" from Alice in Wonderland, with burlesque dancers (from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.) and DJs. Guests are asked to wear "the craziest thing in [their] closet." The $20 ticket (in advance) includes snacks.
"Old Hollywood" is the motto for the Red Derby's Silver Screen New Year's Eve Ball, so wear your finest cocktail attire for the black-and-white photo booth. (Retro champagne cocktails are $4 all night.) DJs will play big band and Rat Pack tunes from 5 p.m. to midnight, followed party-friendly music until last call. There's no cover charge.
Have a vintage military uniform? The Gibson's "Calling All Troops" party has a retro USO theme, including burlesque performances and vintage cocktails. The $150 tickets include an open bar, food, tax and tip, and a portion of proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
The European professionals group Euronet International is bringing its James Bond-themed Thunderball party back to the Washington Plaza Hotel. There are numerous rooms meant to evoke 007, including mock casino gambling in "Monte Carlo," Latin and Reggae music and tropical cocktails in the "Dr. No" room, and Middle Eastern music and a Mediterranean buffet in the "From Russia With Love"-inspired "Istanbul" ballroom. Throw in an open bar, food stations, bands, an optional singles mixer and roaming Bond villians, and you'll want to make sure you're wearing a tux or favorite Bond Girl cocktail dress. $135-$218.
Dogfish Head Alehouse in Fairfax hosts a masquerade cocktail party with full dinner buffets and your choice of five beers, plus a midnight toast. (Why they'd call it a cocktail party with all the beer available isn't clear.) Tickets are $100 including tax and tip.
I'm bringing the kids.
The town-wide First Night celebrations in Annapolis and Old Town Alexandria provide a mix of live music, storytelling, puppets, sing-alongs, crafts and history tours at a number of different venues, capped by fireworks. (Annapolis even offers two sets of fireworks, at 7:30 p.m. and midnight, in case younger participants get sleepy.) Admission to Old Town's party is $20 for everyone 13 and older, and free for members of the military and those 12 and younger. Annapolis's party is free for all, as is parking throughout downtown.
If you don't want to keep the kids up late, family entertainers Rocknoceros are performing two New Year's Eve day shows at Jammin Java: one at 11 a.m. and another at 2 p.m. And who doesn't love an apple juice toast?
I just want to dance.
This is one of the biggest nights of the year for dancing. Here's a rundown of some of our favorites – and don't forget to check our previously published "New Year's Eve at places that opened in 2013" list for details about dance parties at Avery's, Redrocks and Mari Vanna, and the huge Echostage appearance by Eric Prydz.
DJ Jahsonic, whose deft selections of old-school funk, hip-hop and soul have earned him a legion of fans at Marvin's weekly Main Ingredient Mondays, is back on the turntables for a special night upstairs at Marvin. Tickets are $10 in advance or $20 at the door.
By now, you should know what to expect from a Brightest Young Things New Year's Eve party. Beyond a slew of the city's top DJs, there will be all kinds of distractions ranging from balloon artists to art installations to magic shows. (And a photobooth. There's always a photobooth.) This year's throwdown, at the new Blind Whino art space in Southwest, features music by some very familiar names, including Stereo Faith, Adrian Loving, Chris Burns, Smudge and Lil' E, which means you'll get your fill of retro, electro, Britpop and house. Tickets are currently $94, and include food and drink, though prices may rise.
We expect Nadastrom's New Year's Eve fiesta at U Street Music Hall to be one of the toughest parties to get into, simply because they're not selling advance tickets. The moombahton trailblazers are joined by Gents & Jawns and Jen Lasher. Doors open at 9 p.m.
A strong lineup of local DJs, including Chris Nitti, Rex Riot, Phillip Goyette and Denman, takes over two full floors of the Rock and Roll Hotel, while the rooftop deck features a "silent disco" where the crowd dons headphones to listen to a pair of DJs battle. Tickets for the Eighth Annual NYE Blowout -- $80 now, $100 at the door -- include an all-night open bar.
One of the city's largest New Year's Eve parties finds Ed Bailey and Shea Van Horn (of Mixtape) on the decks at on the main level of Town Danceboutique, while VJ Wess provides a countdown of 2013's hottest tracks and videos downstairs. As always, the evening starts at 9:30 p.m. with a drag queen revue hosted by Lena Lett. Tickets are $20 in advance, and offer priority admission.
Cuba Libre's Carnaval de Havana finds DJs spinning salsa, merengue, bachata and house until 4 a.m., with entertainment from percussionists and a floor show by professional salsa dancers. Tickets are $35 in advance, which includes a glass of champagne; an optional $100 ticket includes unlimited drinks from 10:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Bar 7's "Aristocratic NYE" starts with an open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres from 8 to 11 p.m., with DJs Money and Fyah Oats and host Black Cobain offer hip-hop all night. General admission tickets are $25 in advance – great value for three hours of free drinks – and $40 at the door. Bottle service on the main level starts at $600 for six people.
Cobalt bills this year as "the biggest New Year's Eve party in the history" of the club, with American Idol runner-up Blake Lewis DJing, drag performances by Vicky Vox and "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestants Willam and Detox, and a retro DJ lounge with Keenan Orr. Tickets are a flat $20.
Well known '80s and '90s cover band Gonzo's Nose is a fixture at Clarendon New Year's Eve parties. This time around, they're at Clarendon Grill, where tickets include free appetizers, three drink tickets and a midnight toast.
Finally, Flash will have DJs running for 16 straight hours, beginning at 8 p.m. The DJs rotating on and off include Thugf----r, Francis Harris (aka Adultnapper), Sergio Santos, Navbox, Jubilee and Chris Nitti. Multiple champagne toasts are promised. While the dance floor will keep going nonstop, the bar will close at 4 a.m. and reopen at 8 p.m., while a Grey Goose and Oxley gin happy hour starts at 9 a.m. (Yes, you're allowed to leave the party and come back.) Tickets cost $30 in advance, and $40 at the door.

Memo #28 (Text and Video)
The public realm in China is rich and varied, loud and commercialized, colourful and fascinating, but it is firmly under the direction of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Liu Xiaobo's (刘晓波) 2010 Nobel Peace Prize has shaken up the community of Chinese public intellectuals.
The CCP can and does crack down on unwanted communication – in print, on the air, and especially on the Internet. But the Party cannot control every e-mail and web page, and more significantly, the CCP is not monolithic. This is an authoritarian state, but it is not a totalitarian one. Liu Xiaobo's imprisonment for signing Charter 08 was a victory for conservative voices in the CCP. The fact that the CCP's persecution of Liu Xiaobo has contributed to the selection for the Nobel Peace Prize puts a card in the hands of CCP liberals.
Liu Xiaobo is a long-time advocate of democratization and human rights. He has chosen to continue his advocacy in China since he returned from overseas study in 1989 to participate in the Tiananmen demonstrations. Remaining in China has limited the range of his criticisms, but has made his voice more authoritative domestically. It was significant that Liu signed Charter 08 in December 2008. People took notice. But so did the CCP: they tried and sentenced him to 11 years in jail in December 2009.
It is not surprising that the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Liu Xiaobo the Peace Prize. They have honoured imprisoned intellectuals or those unable to leave their home country to receive the prize in the past (i.e. Aung San Suu Kyi and Andrei Sakharov). For China, this is not only a foreign relations setback. Even more significantly, this begins a new stage in the ongoing negotiations between China's public intellectuals and their state.
See Timothy Cheek's August 2010 Asia Pacific Memo on China's Directed Public and his video commentary on the Nobel Peace Prize below:
Part 1 – Why did Liu Xiaobo receive the Nobel Peace Prize?
Part 2 – Will this change the relationship between the community of Chinese intellectuals and the state?
Part 3 – Who is Liu Xiaobo and what is he about?
Part 4 – Why is Liu Xiaobo in jail?
Part 5 – What effect will the Nobel Peace Prize have on Chinese politics?

I have several Cross Breed I like them but I agree a good molded horsehide leather holster is the best and most comfortable.
I also wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and New Year that brings a permit for CCW.

cmh063085 Review
Don't buy
Do not waste your time purchasing this item. I bought this flat iron with the warranty and it broke after only using it for 6 weeks! It would not heat up past 200 degrees. I sent it back and received an email (finally) 6 weeks later saying they can not replace my product (even with the warranty!) It is not posted on the site again for even more money. Do not waste your time on this one. Very disappointed.

JACKSON TWP.: The Jackson Township Board of Trustees has established the Jackson Land Conservation Program as a way to acquire and preserve green space for the future residents of the township.
This program will enable trustees to acquire land by purchase or donation that can be used for parks and public green space. Jackson Township Law Director, Neal Fitzgerald will be the contact person for the project, the trustees will also be available when any landowner decides to sell, donate or dedicate their land for public use.
With the help of financial planners and legal professionals, the trustees have developed a way to make sure that all landowners who decide to donate or sell their land to the township will be able to receive income tax and estate tax benefits.
Trustees have also hired these professionals on an "as needed" basis in order to be available to any resident interested in the program who may have further questions. Interested residents will not have to pay for this service.
Jackson Township is the first township in Stark County to establish a program of this kind. Trustees believe that this new program will help to maintain the beauty of the township.
If you are a resident who is interested in this program, you may contact trustees Todd Hawke, John Pizzino or James Walters at 330-832-7416. You may also call the Jackson Township Legal Department at 330-832-2918.

Hopes may be disappointed for an influx of money from Qatar and other rich Gulf states into battered European banks, since Gulf investors are likely to see many of the banks as too risky and out of line with their investment strategies.
As Europe's banking system has weakened over the last several months, financial markets have been abuzz with rumors and media reports about possible investments from the Gulf -- particularly from cash-rich Qatar, which has been on an international acquisitions spree.
In June, Spanish bank Santander (SAN.MC) denied a report that it was in talks on Qatar buying a stake in it. Last month, France's BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA) denied a similar report. The latest speculation centers on assets of financial group Dexia (DEXI.BR); the prime ministers of France and Belgium were meeting on Sunday to discuss breaking up the group.

How does a patient prepare for CT scanning, and how is it performed?
In preparation for a CT scan, patients are often asked to avoid food, especially when contrast material is to be used. Contrast material may be injected intravenously, or administered by mouth or by an enema in order to increase the distinction between various organs or areas of the body. Therefore, fluids and food may be restricted for several hours prior to the examination. If the patient has a history of allergy to contrast material (such as iodine), the requesting physician and radiology staff should be notified. All metallic materials and certain clothing around the body are removed because they can interfere with the clarity of the images.
Patients are placed on a movable table, and the table is slipped into the center of a large donut-shaped machine which takes the X-ray images around the body. The actual procedure can take from half an hour to an hour and a half. If specific tests, biopsies, or interventions are performed by the radiologist during CT scanning, additional time and monitoring may be required. It is important during the CT scan procedure that the patient minimizes any body movement by remaining as still and quiet as is possible. This significantly increases the clarity of the X-ray images. The CT scan technologist tells the patient when to breathe or hold his/her breath during scans of the chest and abdomen. If any problems are experienced during the CT scan, the technologist should be informed immediately. The technologist directly watches the patient through an observation window during the procedure, and there is an intercom system in the room for added patient safety.
CT scans have vastly improved the ability of doctors to diagnose many diseases earlier in their course and with much less risk than previous methods. Further refinements in CT scan technology continue to evolve which promise even better picture quality and patient safety. CT scans known as "spiral" or "helical" CT scans can provide more rapid and accurate visualization of internal organs. For example, many trauma centers are using these scans to more rapidly diagnose internal injuries after serious body trauma. High resolution CT scans (HRCT) are used to accurately assess the lungs for inflammation and scarring. CT angiography is a newer technique that allows noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries. Note that some CT scanners may not be able to accommodate patients that weigh over 400 pounds.

Crystal Harris Breaks Down Over Breakup with Hef
Just two days after she broke off the engagement to Hugh Hefner, Crystal Harris has revealed the reasons behind her shocking last minute split.
During a sit-down with ET's Chris Jacobs, the Playboy bunny explained that after her whirlwind courtship to the 85-year-old began to slow down, she realized the mansion life may not be for her, as she told, "It happened so fast. Hef asked me to marry him in front of three cameras and a photographer. I thought it was something I wanted."
However, Harris was quick to note that although she "wouldn't trade [her time with Hefner] for the world," she "needed to be true to [her]self."
Hefner himself first announced the news of the cancelled nuptials via his Twitter on Tuesday (June 14), writing, "The wedding is off. Crystal has had a change of heart."

Japan Backpedals on Plan to Phase Out Nuclear Power

News and Rumors
Pirates Aren't Meeting the Cubs Demands For Outfielders
News and Rumors
Ken Rosenthal says that the Chicago Cubs are expected to move either Nate Schierholtz or David DeJesus, and that the Pirates are in on both.
We've heard Schierholtz mentioned a lot, but this is the first time this year that DeJesus has been connected to the Pirates. Rosenthal says DeJesus might be more likely to be moved. He is under team control through the 2014 season, with a $6.5 M option and a $1.5 M buyout. This year DeJesus has a .268/.327/.452 line in 228 at-bats. He has been good against right-handers, with an .832 OPS, but has struggled against lefties with a .462 OPS.
Schierholtz has better splits this year (.885/.560), but either way the Pirates would need to find someone who could hit left-handers if they went...
