New word for Divorce
Photo-Getty Images
When Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced they are "consciously uncoupling," the public reacted with a collective head-scratch followed by viral snickering.
As Twitter users joked they wanted to #consciouslyuncouple from everything from high-calorie muffins to the New York Knicks, the suddenly single actress leaped in to explain what she meant, posting a report on her Goop site from her lifestyle gurus.
It may be hard to find – her site crashed after announcing the separation from Chris Martin – but here's what came from Dr. Habib Sadeghi and Dr. Sherry Sami:
"By choosing to handle your uncoupling in a conscious way, regardless of what's happening with your spouse, you'll see that although it looks like everything is coming apart; it's actually all coming back together."
So what do you think? Should "Consciously Uncoupling" be the new word for "Divorce"?

The irresistible BDSM artwork of Tibool is almost entirely unique in that he draws real looking women and puts them in real situations.
In almost every case that situation is as a slave working a plantation. Women both black and white show up in the slave drawings and they are almost always worn out from their hard days in the field. As you might imagine they're also often called upon to be naked so you can jack off to the slaves
please leave a comment in case you have ideas where to find more Tibool' artworks

Court date not set in theater shooting case, will decide later
DADE CITY, Fla. (AP/970 WFLA) - Attorneys for a retired Tampa Police captain accused of shooting a man in a movie theater raised the possibility of using a "Stand Your Ground" defense at trial next year.
Curtis Reeves Jr. is charged with second-degree murder in the Jan. 13 shooting of Chad Oulson of Land o' Lakes.
Prosecutors said Oulson was shot in the chest during an argument about texting. Reeves' attorneys say their client shot in self-defense and that using "Stand Your Ground" to defend him client hadn't been ruled out.
Florida's "Stand Your Ground Law" says people not involved in illegal activity have the right to "Stand Their Ground" and even use deadly force if they reasonably believe it's necessary to avoid death or great bodily harm.
No trial date was set in Wednesday's hearing. The next court date is set for Sept. 10 to decide a trial date, another is scheduled for Oct. 14.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
According to Freud, the mind is made up of the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is concerned with satisfying our needs, the ego is aware of the self and the world, and the superego is concerned with morality.
Creative ideas originate in the unconscious id and must be filtered through the ego and superego before they can be expressed to the world. The ego may reject an idea because it is unrealistic or impractical and the superego may reject an idea because it is against our ethics.
For example, an idea to genetically engineer a purple cat might be rejected by the ego for being impossible. The idea to throw a cat into a vat of purple paint would be rejected by the superego for being cruel.
Very few creative ideas will get past an overly restrictive ego and superego. At the same time, an excessively passive ego or superego will result in the expression of many impractical or immoral ideas. Through exercises such as brainstorming, we can train our ego and superego to be more or less selective depending upon our needs.
"Groupthink" is a term used to describe a process whereby a group can make bad decisions even though each individual in the group may realize that the result is going to be bad.
People have a strong need to feel accepted in a group. Whenever an individual participates in a group, it causes the other participants to react in some way. People want to be liked, so they tend to participate in a way that gains them acceptance. One way to gain acceptance is to be very agreeable and not rock the boat. When a bad or bland idea is introduced, very few people may challenge it. If nobody proposes a better idea, groupthink can result.
Proposing a creative idea that differs from the group exposes the person and puts them in a vulnerable position. Nobody wants to fail in front of their peers or superiors. As a result, wild ideas are frequently self-censored or toned down to a level that is easily assimilated by the group. Unless there is a process that encourages wild ideas, they will seldom be introduced and groupthink can result.
Groupthink can also occur if an idea comes from higher up in the corporate ladder. Nobody wants to disagree with their boss, even if they know that the boss's idea will fail.
Brainstorming is a process that encourages wild ideas. This is one way to avoid groupthink.
These number exercises will help improve your concentration and mental endurance.
1. Recite all the numbers between 1 and 100 that contain the digit 7. (7, 17, 27...)
2. Count down from 200 by 4s. (200, 196, 192...)
3. Recite the numbers counting up by 4s and by 5s (4-5, 8-10, 12-15...)
4. Start with 2 and start doubling it in your head. See how far you can get. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32...)
Feel free to modify these exercises and practice them to increase your ability.
Pick a poem or song from our list and recite it out loud. Now, recite it again but skip every other word. Then skip every third word, and so on, until you can't do it any more. This exercise helps with your concentration and mental endurance.
1. Row row row your boat
2. The itsy bitsy spider
3. Jack and Jill went up the hill
An example of skipping by two: Jack Jill up hill fetch pail...
Previously we learned how keeping a bug list can be a great way to discover unmet needs that you may want to solve. This exercise will help you get started on your very own bug list.
Get a piece of paper and a pencil. Spend 10 minutes writing down bugs that you notice in your daily life. If you are having difficulty getting started, go through your typical day starting from when you wake up and write down all the bugs that come to mind. Here are a few to get you started...
1. Alarm clocks don't work when the power goes out
2. Coffee takes too long to brew
3. Toothpaste tube is messy
4. Can't find car keys

The Seattle Fire Department and the Seattle Fire Fighters Union, Local 27, invite the community to check out the completed seismic and safety upgrade of Fire Station 34 (633 32nd Ave. E.) during an open house on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Fire Station 34 is one of 32 neighborhood fire stations being upgraded, renovated or replaced through the Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Program, which was approved by Seattle voters in 2003.
Built in 1970, Fire Station 34 was in generally fair condition but required seismic retrofits to meet the current earthquake safety standards. The $1.8 million project also included interior remodeling to enhance operations.
Fire Station 34 houses one engine company (E34) with a crew of four firefighters and a hose wagon.
The remodel included seismic upgrades to the reinforced masonry walls and the concrete and wood-framed roofs.
A new two-story addition accommodates a fitness room, decontamination room, bunker gear storage, apparatus bay storage and a battery-charging station.
Existing spaces also were improved: the beanery (aka kitchen) was completely remodeled, a new day room was added by capturing underutilized exterior space and the basement was renovated to include more usable storage space and a new laundry room.
In addition to seismic improvements and expanded interior spaces, the station received numerous upgrades, including a new roof, new copper piping throughout, a new fire sprinkler system, a new fire alarm system, asbestos abatement, various mechanical upgrades, new light fixtures throughout, a new emergency generator, upgrades for ADA compliance and new landscaping.
Construction began in 2011 and was completed in October 2013.

Fat Joe Preps Cooking Show [VIDEO]
Fat Joe is about to be cooking up a lot more than his nickname suggests.
During an NBC NiteCap interview, Joey Crack revealed that he has his own food oriented show in the works. "I'm working on a cooking show," the Bronx native said. "Who else can you trust other than Fat Joe to tell you what food is good or not? Me and my guy, Chef Mark, he's an incredible chef, we got that studio audience, we got that band. We gonna bring guys like Lil Wayne—your favorite rapper—and we gonna ask him what's his favorite dish [and] we gonna make it for him."
Though there is no launch date on the show, Joe is sure it will give fans a new look at him once it does begin. "You don't really know the true Fat Joe until you meet him," he said. "So once we in front of that camera and we vibin' with everybody, we gonna have a lot of fun with that."
"I'm not even a cook," he continued. "I'm like a mascot. But my man Chef Mark is gonna be cookin'."
Joe also talked hip-hop stars giving back to the community and revealed that he will be auctioning off his extensive sneaker collection for charity.—Adam Fleischer

O, nymph, who quittest now this grot profound,To admire the greatest king of all kings round.
My mind was full of the tales of the place, and glowed with a vehement desire of exploring the world beyond the grot.
Hence to Sir Guy's grot, where they say he did his penances, and died.
Oh, nymph, who quittest now this grot profound, To admire the greatest king of all kings round.
Still, the idea that the church was to be a grot haunted the minds of builders.
Remember the Weird; remember what I told you in the grot where I sought and won your hand and heart.
Here I received from the famous wife of the curate Mr. grot provisions sufficient to last me for eight days.
Others they bury in a grot or den, and lay a calabash of water and some bread on his head.
Now the original idea of a Christian church was that of a grot; a cave.
Instead of replying, Pan grasped a wand that leaned against the wall of his grot, and with it touched the maiden and the flower.

Artist: The Fastbacks
Album: ...And His Orchestra/Every Day Is Saturday
Appears On (Mixes): Past The Barber and Gymnasium
Song Notes: One of my favorite things about The Fastbacks is, as Kurt Bloch mentions in the liners to Truth, Corrosion and Sour Bisquits, their love of 1970s AM Radio Pop-Rock, leading them to cover a lot of these kinds of songs (including their wonderful version of "Go All The Way" by The Raspberries). Luckily, Kurt's taste in 1970s AM Pop Rock seems to coincide pretty well with mine, so there's songs like The Grass Roots' "Midnight Confessions" from 1968, where I love both The Fastbacks' version and the original. This is from ...And His Orchestra, a CD compiling the first LP and some early EPs (technically, this was originally on Every Day Is Saturday, a 4-song EP from 1984). - Rev. Syung Myung Me

Perhaps you're familiar with our 4-Episode Test series, wherein the TV.com staff checks in on each season's new shows to see how they're doing after their first four episodes. Excellent pilots are few and far between, and lots of shows need some time to find their footing. But now that the 2011-2012 regular TV season has come to a close, where does its freshman class stand?
We've decided to take a look back at our 4-Episode Test verdicts for many of last season's new shows in a post-season context to create a mini retrospective and future forecast all rolled into one. Below, you'll find our progress report for most of next year's sophomore class (read: anything we kept watching that didn't get canceled), including where we think they're headed next.
AFTER 4 EPISODES: Even after putting aside the show's many eye-roll-inspiring elements (the laugh track, the one-note/sometimes-racist supporting characters, the "broke" girls living in a huge apartment), I was annoyed by Max's penchant meanness and the repetitive humor that seemed raunchy just for the sake of it.
AFTER SEASON 1: While 2 Broke Girls certainly didn't become my favorite new comedy, it's nowhere near my most-loathed. By the end of the first season, Max and Caroline had truly become friends, and even Oleg the Ukrainian line cook had developed into a more believable human being. Some of the jokes continued to feel forced, but some of them truly made me snort out loud. Plus I liked how the two-part finale saw all the characters rallying to help out Max and Caroline; beneath all the vagina jokes, the show has some real heart.
FUTURE FORECAST: We need more Kat Dennings types on TV, and Max has thankfully softened up a bit without losing her wry attitude. Beth Behrs is a rising star, and Caroline is hard to hate. 2 Broke Girls' stereotypical sitcom sins will probably always be there, but so will Max and Caroline's dysfunctional little diner family. The show isn't going anywhere anytime soon.—Jen Trolio
AFTER 4 EPISODES: After a dicey and occasionally baffling premiere, American Horror Story quickly snapped into place as one of TV's boldest, weirdest experiments. By Episode 4 it was already a winner.
AFTER SEASON 1: The show just kept getting better. Its roughly half-million characters gelled into a truly great ensemble and the overriding rules of the Murder House made for a frightening, poignant logic. The systematic deaths of its living characters and the slow reveals of its dead ones came together so compellingly that we questioned whether the show could keep its premise going much longer. Turns out it couldn't and AHS revealed its best twist yet: It'll be an anthology series!
FUTURE FORECAST: The very nature of an anthology series suggests that each season has to start fresh with new characters and stories—a risky ploy in an era of short attention spans. But as long as the storytelling remains fresh, shocking, and surprising, we expect (and hope!) that American Horror Story could go on indefinitely. —Price Peterson
AFTER 4 EPISODES: We didn't trust the B----, but we did have some trust in the P------ (program) thanks to its wacky humor and gutsy jokes. Still, we moved forward with cautious optimism.
AFTER SEASON 1: After Episode 4 there were only three episodes left in the season, so the show didn't have much room to play with. But it gained our trust and became one of the nicest surprises of the midseason! We had questioned June's viability as a strong character considering she was swimming with a lot of zany folk (James Van der B---, sexy rambunctious Chloe, the pervy wankin' neighbor), but she ended up being as memorable as the rest.
FUTURE FORECAST: Season 2 will be a big test, but this show has the potential to go on for a few seasons and fits nicely with ABC's other comedies. It won't be one of TV's top comedies, but it should be reliable. —Tim Surette
AFTER 4 EPISODES: We knew we were in the assured hands of a true auteur immediately after Mike White's HBO series debuted and that feeling continued on throughout the season.
AFTER SEASON 1: Like many HBO series, Enlightened's installments weren't so much episodes as chapters in a longer work, so it's appropriate to look at Season 1 as a whole: It was excellent. Its storytelling alternated between hilariously awkward and subtly depressing, but Enlightened's boldest move was to present Laura Dern's character as slightly awful yet ultimately sympathetic. Rather than treat her journey of self-discovery as the joke we'd assumed it would be, Enlightened made the case that she had the right idea all along. And that ending! Not only did it perfectly cap off a season of personal highs and lows, it set up what could be a suddenly higher-stakes Season 2.
FUTURE FORECAST: Again, like most HBO shows, Enlightened might have a short lifespan. Putting aside the issue of its miniscule ratings, this series airs on a network where creators frequently self-cancel after feeling pretty satisfied with what they've done. It's anybody's guess whether Mike White has more than two seasons in him, so it's a very real possibility that Season 2 could be it for this show. We hope not, but still. —Price
AFTER 4 EPISODES: When I initially started watching, I was intrigued by the fairy-tale premise, but concerned by Grimm's early onset of repetitive exposition in an attempt to familiarize us with its characters.
AFTER SEASON 1: Fun but uneven, Grimm definitely improved as it dove into the intricacies and politics of the Wesen world and Nick's personal life. With some outstanding characters stealing the show (looking at you, Monroe!) Grimm has developed into a modest cult hit, succeeding among dedicated fans thanks to its interesting mythology and potential to be more than just another fairy-tale drama. Like a weekly B movie, despite bad special effects and often cheesy or poorly paced stories Grimm is undeniably entertaining—the definition of a guilty pleasure if ever there was one.
FUTURE FORECAST: If Grimm can stay away from its shakier monster-of-the-week plots and focus on its mythology, Season 2 will see the show transform from guilty pleasure to one of the most solid supernatural dramas on TV—and if not, it'll still be pretty entertaining. —Josie Campbell
AFTER 4 EPISODES: Before it started we were all like, "Okay fine, I'll watch this Homeland show." But then we were like, "Oh my gosh I can't stop watching Homeland!!!" It was that good after four episodes.
AFTER SEASON 1: As good as those first four episodes were, the season got better and better and BETTER. Homeland went in a direction that no one could have predicted, and maintained an addictive pace that helped us kick our heroin habits (metaphorically speaking). I have a lot of questions going into Season 2 (What's up with Carrie's "treatment"? What's Brody's next step?) that seem like they'll be difficult to smoothly answer, but I thought that same thing a lot during Season 1. Can't wait for Season 2.
FUTURE FORECAST: I think this show has a limited run in it; three or four seasons sounds like a good stretch, anything more would be pulling the domestic terrorist thing along a little long. But I have no doubt that the limited run will be thrilling. —Tim
AFTER 4 EPISODES: At this point we were STILL discussing whether or not Zooey Deschanel's performance was too suffocatingly quirky to base a show around. But there were already signs that New Girl had loftier, more emotional ambitions, not to mention an increasingly prominent supporting cast.
AFTER SEASON 1: Those trends held to the end: Jess got less manic and her friends stepped up to become just as essential to the story as she was. Schmidt and Cece in particular became the heart and soul of the show while Jess's romantic life was as meaningful and complex as it was awkward. New Girl certainly lived up to its potential and the more time we spent with its characters the more real they seem. I can't wait to see where they'll go.
FUTURE FORECAST: New Girl has at least one or two more solid seasons of resetting to the same premise (single people living together) before it starts going the Friends route of pairing everyone off and exploring the marriage issue. It's anyone's guess as to how long it can keep up the same breezy tone, but as long as the jokes and surprising insights are there, I think we can expect five or more seasons of engaging television. —Price
AFTER 4 EPISODES: From the very first episode, Once Upon A Time's ambitious premise and Disney references made it connect weirdly at a primal, childhood-association level, like the taste of McDonald's fries or the tune of a nursery rhyme. I found myself immediately invested in the oddly familiar fairy-tale characters of Storybrooke and their contemporary heroine, Emma.
AFTER SEASON 1: The spell is definitely broken: This series is Lost dressed up for the Ren Faire. It appears dense with meaning and intricate plotwork on the surface, yet at its heart seems to have a complete disregard for internal logic. Brilliant actors are able to suffuse the often embarrassing dialogue, but the series as a whole seems to base its premise on raising the audience's expectations and thwarting them, much like its desert-island predecessor. Still, given how wildly imaginative the episodes can be, it's worth enduring the heartbreak for the lovely visuals and original interpretations in the strong episodes that arbitrarily dotted the first season.
FUTURE FORECAST: The Season 1 finale essentially resolved the premise of the show and then ushered in a new threat in the last ten minutes. Where Season 2 will go is anyone's guess, and we must satisfy our curiosity even at the cost of our need for consistency. However as long as OUaT is helmed by Kitsis & Horowitz, it will be doing their signature waltz of one step forward, two steps back. —Lily Sparks
AFTER 4 EPISODES: When we first took POI into the labs, the things that stuck out were the show's consistency, action sequences, and budding mysteries.
AFTER SEASON 1: Holy crikey! A show that actually lived up to its potential and then some! Person of Interest was a success because of fantastic pacing that stretched the mythology but never let it get dull, and fascinating new characters who dug up the cheesy, fun dialogue of old action heroes. And with the cliffhangers and developments of the end of Season 1, I'll be first in line for Season 2.
FUTURE FORECAST: Only a few shows come out of each season looking like they're keepers, and I get the feeling we'll be watching Person of Interest well into Mitt Romney's second term. (It's a conspiracy!) —Tim
AFTER 4 EPISODES: Long before Revenge was a national phenomenon, I was cheering hard for the low-budget soap cast with mostly unknown actors because of its fast pace, endearingly ambitious setting, and unabashedly dramatic dialogue.
AFTER SEASON 1: Revenge caught fire, becoming ABC's highest-rated show in its time slot since Lost. What were hints of ambitious cinematography and wry humor blossomed into movie-like montages and some of the best dialogue we've heard in years. Revenge earned its cult following because creator Mike Kelley believes TV should be intensely entertaining and instantly gratifying. The story, the characters—every scene works with the singular purpose of sweeping viewers off their feet and the show always achieves that goal. These days you can't throw a rock without hitting someone who describes Revenge as one of their favorite shows, and if you missed the finale I feel bad for you. All four of you.
FUTURE FORECAST: Revenge's fast pace and larger-than-life characters are propelled by what seem like an endless amount of crazy ideas, and considering what the writers were able to come up with on a weekly basis, I can't wait to see what a couple months of brainstorming brings forth in Season 2. —Lily
AFTER 4 EPISODES: Procedurals? Politics? I feared Scandal would be way over my head and not in a fun way, like college. However it quickly turned into a dramatic romance that swept me off my feet (kind of like college) and the quick, razor-sharp dialogue and powerful performances of Kerry Washington and her Pope-ettes made this the unpredicted highlight of our Thursday viewing schedule.
AFTER SEASON 1: Let's be real, the first season didn't go much longer than four episodes as Scandal started midseason. However it ended with a true cliffhanger and ratcheted up the heartbreak in the finale and I'm giddy for the start of Season 2.
FUTURE FORECAST: Shonda Rhimes has proved she's a marathon show runner with Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Fingers crossed we have several more seasons to watch the graceful Olivia Pope work under pressure and enjoy the chemistry between this Judy Smith homage and her dapper commander-in-Chief. (Because their chemistry is UNSTOPPABLE!) —Lily
AFTER 4 EPISODES: From the beginning, Smash was expensive and specific, neither of which are network-friendly concepts. We marveled at its dimensional storytelling and layered melodies while fretting that at any moment the curtain would drop on the big-budget Broadway baby.
AFTER SEASON 1: Smash caught on without sacrificing brains or heart (or expense) and used Uma Thurman's star power to draw fans, both in the world of "Bombshell" and in the actual series, into a wonderfully meta plotline. Star cameos (Joe Jonas! Bernadette Peters!) and never straying from its foundational tension (Ivy or Karen? Who will be THE STAR?!) won Smash enough of a following to warrant a second season.
FUTURE FORECAST: Smash smartly ended its finale when the curtain dropping on Karen's debut. The ramifications of Karen's success onstage on her personal life, on Ivy's psyche, and on their director's penchant for falling in love with his leading lady are all intriguing elements that have me fantasizing about Season 2. And it's still a long way to Broadway from previews, so there's plenty of obstacles left to overcome for our beloved cast and crew. —Lily
AFTER 4 EPISODES: Was there ever a comedy series that won us over so hard, so fast, as Suburgatory? Rife with candy-colored absurdism, the weirdly original series managed to stay sympathetic to its characters even while skewering them, saving its dour heroine Tessa with her occasional moment of empathy or dependence on surrogate mom Dallas (Cheryl Hines). The sparkling performances, incredible dialogue, and courage of the series in going a step over the line at least twice per episode made us eagerly welcome Suburgatory to the neighborhood.
AFTER SEASON 1: Suburgatory toyed with becoming a little morality-play series (kind of like a conventional Strangers with Candy), then went a little soapy before finishing dark. The show subtly sewed in the thread of Tessa's undeniable mother issues, then brought it to bear when George invited detestable girlfriend Eden to move in. The speed with which this series moved from upbeat absurdity to gritty reality in the last few episodes was almost disturbing. Ultimately the heights of comedy Suburgatory achieved got mired in what has always been the weak spot of the show: Tessa. Yes she's the heroine, and Jane Levy is great, but she's no match for the rest of the insanely talented ensemble (Carly Chaikin, as Tessa's nemesis Dahlia, is the single best thing that's happened to teens on TV in 2012) who we always want to see more of.
FUTURE FORECAST: I'd hate to see the bright, fantastically funny show lose its way in Tessa's dreary, self-obsessed introspection. Best-case scenario? She moves in with mom and we see spend Season 2 watching Suburgatory operate in her absence. —Lily
AFTER 4 EPISODES: Returning faces from the pilot started to reappear—letting us know there was more to Jake's story than an endless sequence of random encounters. However, Episode 4 marked the point where everything started to slow down. Slow and steady might win the race, but it typically doesn't make for a very exciting race.
AFTER SEASON 1: The season suffered from poor pacing and bordered on downright boring for a disappointing midseason stretch. But OH MY GOD, that finale. The finale made the waiting worth it. The excitement was back. The bigger picture was back. Jake and Martin were on the run from the evil AsterCorp, diving below the radar and teaming up with Lucy, mother to the mysterious (and currently missing) Amelia. You know this means lots of awesome adventures, right?
FUTURE FORECAST: Exiled to the Friday night Slot o' Death, the future looks bleak. The finale was a sorely needed injection of adrenaline and I'm excited about where the second season will take us, but unfortunately, it may have come too little, too late for most viewers. —MaryAnn Sleasman
AFTER 4 EPISODES: Up All Night's pilot and three ensuing episodes cemented its status as a quick and fun, if not laugh-out-loud, half-hour.
AFTER SEASON 1: By the end of the season, Up All Night was showing the strain of its mixed premise. Was it a show about the makings of a talk show, or the trials and tribulations of wealthy Los Angeles parents? I'm not sure either premise has been maximized, and too frequently Reagan and Chris came off as jerks. It didn't help that every episode seemed to have an easy or coincidental solution for its (occasionally serious) conflicts and things never quite felt grounded enough to get invested in. It's a bad sign when we can't even really remember how the season ended and haven't thought about it much since.
FUTURE FORECAST: Tons of funny people are involved in Up All Night and it's a well-made, breezy enterprise, but I think the show will need to come on really strong in Season 2 if it wants to stick around much longer. —Price
AFTER 4 EPISODES: I said I'd quit and there was no reason not to; aside from the very tolerable and even sometimes likeable character of Alex, Whitney's boyfriend, almost everything about the show was awful.
AFTER SEASON 1: I honestly don't know why I stuck with Whitney all season—maybe it's my completist nature, maybe it's that I wanted to see Whitney prove its naysayers wrong, maybe it's that the show debuted as part of NBC's Thursday comedy block and I just never turned off the TV after The Office (which, yes, I'm also still watching). But I kept checking in even after Whitney made the move to Wednesdays... and now I'm here to tell you it ultimately wasn't worth it. The show did make a few positive strides; though Whitney Cummings' acting never improved (seriously it's so, so bad), the supporting characters eventually grew to be (slightly) more than human props. And there was a surprisingly well-done Very Important Episode and ensuing arc in which Neal explored the possibility that he's bisexual. But overall, Whitney kept disappointing me with its mostly elementary relationship humor (Alex likes the way Whitney looks when she wears a push-up bra? You're kidding!).
FUTURE FORECAST: Between its upcoming move to Friday nights and the fact that there are so many other, better comedies on TV, I don't see Whitney living much longer. Hell, I never thought it would get renewed in the first place. I barely remember what happened in the Season 1 finale—not that I particularly care—and I won't be tuning in for Season 2 (for real this time). —Jen

Spectators Duck For Cover As F-16 Jet Comes In For Landing!
(Photos courtesy of YouTube)
Watch as this F-16 military jet flies right over this crowd and lands precisely at the very beginning of the runway.
I'm shocked that these spectators were able to get this close to the runway. Even if they knew they wouldn't get hit by the jet, it had to be CRAZY to be under it!

FLORENCE – The US Department of Agriculture's Rural Development State Director Vernita F. Dore recently announced that the North Eastern Strategic Alliance, Inc., (NESA) received a $50,000 grant.
The grant is one of 27 awarded across the nation and one of five regional grants highlighted. Funding is made available through USDA Rural Development assistance under the Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) program.
NESA will use these funds to develop a strategic plan and feasibility study for the recruitment of value-added processors and agribusiness. NESA is a well-established regional economic development alliance representing nine counties in northeastern South Carolina. Of those counties, Dillon, Marion, Marlboro, and Williamsburg are designated as Persistent Poverty counties. The strategic plan made possible through the RBOG will assist NESA as it seeks to further the agribusiness economy in this region. The NESA Region is a prime location for the agribusiness industry given its vast agricultural production capacity and strong history of agricultural excellence.
Dore said, "These funds will be used efficiently to establish a foundation to create jobs and support small businesses in agriculture. This in turn will increase sustainability in the region."
The will be administered by USDA Rural Development's Business and Cooperative Services Program.
NESA's primary objective is to significantly enhance the quality of life for residents of the region by creating additional jobs and capital investment within the existing industry base, recruiting new companies and expanding tourism-related development. The alliance is a public-private partnership supported in part by funding from each of the nine counties it serves as well as private sector supporters.
USDA Rural Development's mission is to deliver programs in a way that will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of life of rural residents. Rural Development promotes economic development by providing loan and grant programs to finance and foster growth in business development, homeownership, and critical community and technology infrastructure.
For more information regarding USDA Rural Development programs, contact the area office at (843) 669-9686, or visit USDA's web site at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov.

One time springfield discount
I heard a few weeks ago for an oldtimer, who is also a springfield owner, who says that springfield offers a one time deep discount for new springfield owners. Is this true? has anyone else heard of this?
Never heard of anyone doing that wasn't trying to rent me something ( storage, gym time, etc. ).
I think if that were true, there would be A LOT more XD owners out there. ;)
I'm callin them up tomorrow to ask. I'm gettin to the bottom of this
As a Springfield retailer and Pro Staffer I get to purchase one Springfield firearm a year at a greatly reduced rate for personal use, but I never heard of any other programs for new firearms owners. If I come crossed something from Springfield I'll let you know.
Let me know what you find out

If it's not information overload, I just wanted to chime in that I've had a lot of success following a reduced food reward diet as per Stephan Guyenet's recommendations. Still Primal, with less yum. Less yum = lower appetite (MUCH lower) = fewer calories in, but a body that understands that it's time to live off the fat now. So none of the usual downsides of calorie restriction. My energy levels are good, thermoregulation is fine, mood is remarkably stable, and the weight is falling off faster than it ever did on just Primal alone. Plus food preparation time is absolutely minimal, so it frees up a lot of time which might help with your stress. (I just do a big crock pot with a bland but nutrient-dense stew once a week or so, plus eggs or a bland smoothie in the mornings. No snacking necessary. All my meals take less than a minute to prepare.)

The region also shares borders with Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The Uyghurs and their forerunners are Turkic-speaking people who have been living in Central Asia since the first millennium BC. Their ancestors can be traced to the people who lived along the ancient Silk Road.

Programming: The only independent news agency providing news and information to the target area, RFA Uyghur programming includes breaking news, analysis, in-depth reporting, interviews, and feature stories on politics, the economy, culture, history, and education. In addition to news, RFA Uyghur includes programming devoted to economic and political commentary; Uyghur history, arts, literature, and culture; expert discussions on the relationship between China and Central Asia; human rights; the environment; women's issues; exile Uyghurs and culture outside the region; Turkic language and education; and health awareness.
RFA Uyghur began as a half-hour, twice weekly radio broadcast on December 14, 1998. RFA subsequently increased those broadcasts to one hour daily, and then to two hours daily since October 1, 2001.
Soon after the first broadcast, RFA Uyghur attracted the attention of Chinese government officials, who regarded it with apprehension. The official Urumqi Xinjiang People's Radio broadcast said: "Establishing a strong radio and television system in Xinjiang and erecting a steel wall against radio wave infiltration are very important and pressing political tasks … Infiltration by hostile radio stations from abroad into our region has lately become more serious."
In its editorial content, the Uyghur Service focused on international conferences, democratic elections, tensions between Taiwan and China, commentaries on the lives of Uyghur people in China and elsewhere, and AIDS education. Just in its first year of broadcasting, the Uyghur Service received letters and telephone calls from listeners within the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and from the Chinese cities of Urumqi, Kashgar, Hotan, Aksu, Yerkent, Korla, and Ili.
Media Environment in China and The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region
Freedom House Freedom of the Press Ranking: Not Free (181st/196 countries ranked in 2010)
Committee to Protect Journalists Report on Number of Journalists Imprisoned: 34
Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Barometer 2011 calls China "the world's biggest prison for journalists, bloggers, and cyber-dissidents." Most of the around 100 prisoners have been sentenced to long jail sentences for "subversion" or "divulging state secrets" and are held in harsh conditions, with journalists often being put to forced labor. The local authorities, fearful of bad publicity from reports on corruption and nepotism, continue to arrest journalists. There are 76 imprisoned netizens.
Excerpt from Human Rights Watch's 2011 World Report: "The government continued to restrict the rights and freedoms of journalists, bloggers and an estimated 384 million Internet users, in violation of domestic legal guarantees of freedom of press and expression. The government requires state media and Internet search firms to censor references to issues ranging from the June 1989 Tiananmen massacre to details of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize."
RFA Uyghur is the only independent broadcaster providing local news and information to the target area. The service provides a forum for a variety of opinions and voices within the XUAR; it is also provides information to Uyghurs who are deprived of access to free news media with objectivity, fairness, quality, and integrity.
Uyghurs have faced extreme repression from the Chinese government since the People's Republic of China took control of Uyghur territory. In recent years, especially after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Beijing has stepped up its control over Uyghurs, using the global "War on Terror" to justify harsh crackdowns on religious practice, and political and social dissent.
Chinese authorities enforced a complete media control, shutting down the Internet and telephone lines in Urumqi and the region after the July 2009 riots in Urumqi, the capital of China's northwest Xinjiang province. RFA reported on the violence and its aftermath extensively. Months after the ethnic clashes, Uyghurs living in Central Asia, North America, and Europe reported to RFA that they were unable to phone, text, or e-mail relatives in the XUAR. Despite these challenges, RFA continues to provide solid eyewitness coverage of events happening within the region. RFA's reports have been cited by major international news sources including The Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, Daily Telegraph, and South China Morning Post, among others. In addition, people living in the region have contacted RFA not only to provide critical information, but also to commend our staff for breaking through the communications blackout.
As one retired male listener said when he called RFA's Uyghur Service: "There is no freedom of speech in China. Only RFA is giving this kind of chance to us [and] we should allow different voices."
Service Highlights
Since its first broadcast over 12 years ago, Radio Free Asia's Uyghur Service has been successfully breaking stories and providing thorough coverage of news and information important to China's minority Turkic-speaking Uyghur population. In the process, the Uyghur Service has built up an extensive network of Uyghur contacts in China's more remote regions as well as among key leaders of the Uyghur exile community including Rebiya Kadeer.
The service's consistently high-quality journalism and the fact that it is the only international news regularly covering the XUAR has helped to build a strong listenership among the Uyghur people in China and garnered numerous awards and honors, including the Edward R. Murrow and Gracie awards.
RFA Uyghur broke the news of the Shaoguan (in China's Guangdong province) factory riot in late June 2009 that led to the unrest in Urumqi, which began on July 5. The Uyghur Service also broke the news of the detainment of Beijing-based economics professor and blogger, Ilham Tohti, an ethnic Uyghur, days after riots began in China's northwest region. RFA's coverage of the events, which included eye-witness photographs and accounts from listeners, of the recent unrest has been widely cited by numerous news sources.
Web Highlights
RFA's Uyghur Service website, launched in September 2004, provides continuously updated news in all three Uyghur writing systems — Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic. RFA also maintains an English language website featuring a selection of stories from the Uyghur Service. The site streams the daily RFA broadcast in Uyghur and offers ongoing coverage of events in the Uyghur region in text and images. The archived audio files can be retrieved on a special page or downloaded via podcast. RSS feeds are also available, making it possible for people to automatically update their news readers or webpages with RFA news content.
RFA continues to be confronted with the jamming of broadcasts and blocking of its website. Audience research conducted in the last decade shows that jamming is the main tool used to prevent Uyghur people from accessing RFA, whether on air or online. Despite Chinese censorship and the dangers involved, research indicates that Uyghur listeners and Web users consider RFA a lifeline in a hostile media environment — a source for information and news offering unique content worth taking risks to access. Some Uyghur social websites enable RFA Uyghur's content to reach audiences by republishing the service's stories on their sites with a few "forbidden" terms altered to avoid detection by China's online censors.
Listener Comments
"RFA broadcasts, like an educator, have brightened our heart. … They have opened our eyes. China always wants to keep the Uyghurs ignorant of the world. But now we understand democracy, human rights, and freedom. RFA broadcasting means more than food, drink, and air to us, because it gives us hope and inspiration. We hope RFA increases broadcasting time in the Uyghur language." – RFA Uyghur service listener
"Today RFA has turned into an organization that reveals the troubles and the plight of the Uyghurs to the world. The Chinese sources in Eastern Turkestan on the other hand are trying to conceal the injustices. … It is not possible to compare RFA with the media sources under Chinese control. … RFA broadcasts the truth while the Chinese media broadcasts lies." – Male listener, 27, Urumqi
"If the government had given any explanation about [the] Shaoguan incident without hiding it from Uyghurs, this would not have happened in Urumqi. People heard more details about it through RFA, since the listenership is among Uyghurs." – Uyghur business owner, Urumqi, July 2009

In February 2010, RFA won the American Women in Radio and Television Gracie Award for its multimedia feature titled "Half the Xinjiang Sky" in the category of Outstanding Website – News. The multimedia Web page showcases RFA's extensive coverage of the protests led by Uyghur women following the Uyghur-Han ethnic riots and crackdown led by Chinese authorities in the Xinjiang and Guangdong provinces.
In 2009, New York Festivals broadcasting competition honored an RFA Uyghur broadcaster with a gold medal in the category of Best Human Interest Story for an exclusive piece aired the previous year about an ethnic Uyghur woman in China facing a forced, third-term abortion. International pressure resulting from the story led to authorities releasing the woman, who was able to give birth to a son.
In 2008, Rebiya Kadeer presented an award to the RFA Uyghur service for its great contribution to the Uyghur communities, telling RFA staff their broadcasts "gives hope and confidence to our people…hope for a better future because of the powerful message," adding, "They are not afraid of going to prison in order to listen to your daily programs."
In 2005, The Uyghur service's website won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award, sponsored by The Radio-Television News Directors Association.

text: Stevia Nutra Corporation (OTC:BB STNT) (the Company), an Agro-Management company focused on stevia agronomics, today released an update regarding its innovative "Stevia Propagation Centre" (SPC) in Cambodia. Initial site preparation and development of the Company's SPC located in Kampong Speu has been completed. The perimeter has been secured with fencing, the land has been cleared and tilled, hydro power has been brought to the site, and a permanent on-site office, worker accommodations and storage building have been constructed. Central to the Company's plan to install a high tech irrigation system is access to a reliable, steady flow of water. Drilling of the on-site well is now complete and the required water supply has been established. This system is expected to dramatically increase yields over traditional growers. Design for the requisite nursery and greenhouse is complete and erection of a metal frame structure for the nursery has commenced. In the meantime Dr. Ahmed El-Sheik, the Company's Chief Agronomy Officer, has been conducting stevia plant trials over the past three months using several localised strains to determine best "germination and plantlet growth vigor" with extremely encouraging results. "From my recent work on our SPC site and also by observation of other local farming activity in the area, I see very good growth conditions for crops and vegetation of all kinds," says Dr. El-Sheik. "Early testing trials of stevia are actually surpassing my expectations and it is becoming clear that our SPC is very well located from a growth conditions perspective." Additionally, local officials from Kampong Speu town have visited the SPC site and were pleased with progress and excited to see this new, agri-business development well underway in their community. "We are extremely pleased with the cooperation we have had locally as we develop our SPC site and operations," said David Foo, the Company's Vice President, Operations. "The benefit of being close to Kampong Speu town ensures the SPC is easily supported by our suppliers, contractors and our local agro-labor team."

The body thought to be that of missing skier Jeff Walker, which was found late Wednesday in an out-of-bounds area of Highland Bowl, had injuries consistent with a gunshot wound, according to a Pitkin County Sheriff's Office statement released on Thursday.
The body of a male skier was recovered Thursday morning from a spot known as the Grey Zones, skier's right of the Northwoods portion of the bowl, near an area called Child's Play. Investigators found a firearm near the body. The recovery was a joint effort between the sheriff's office, Highlands ski patrol and the Pitkin County Coroner's Office. The recovery effort took more than three hours and included a sheriff's investigator, a coroner and several ski patrollers, according to Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo.
The cause of death, manner of death and the identity of the deceased skier will not be released by the coroner's office until after an autopsy is completed, which may be today.
A snowboarder independently searching for Walker discovered the body on Wednesday afternoon and reported it to Highlands ski patrol around 4 p.m., according to a sheriff's office press release. At the time, the sheriff's office and ski patrol determined that it was too late in the day and conditions were not safe to remove the body that evening. Recovery efforts were launched Thursday at 7 a.m.
The unidentified snowboarder came upon the body, which had clothing consistent with Walker's, including a blue ski jacket, black pants and green ski boots. The snowboarder found a backpack near the body in the snow and hung it in a tree to mark the area, which was in steep and tree-dense terrain.
"There was a backpack nearby in a tree that was put there by the snowboarder to make it easier for investigators to find the location, which turned out to be a good thing because of today's weather," DiSalvo said about Thursday's blizzard-like conditions.
DiSalvo said he notified Walker's mother of the discovery on Wednesday evening. Family members, who live out of town, are expected to travel to Aspen in the next day or two. A local memorial service is being planned.
The body is suspected to be Walker, a longtime local and wine consultant who has been missing since March 7. He was last seen that day hiking Highland Bowl in the afternoon. In the two weeks since, a communitywide search effort had been launched in an attempt to find him, drawing hundreds of volunteers, local law enforcement and rescue personnel.
Aspen Skiing Co. spokesman Jeff Hanle thanked everyone within the company and in the community for their extraordinary efforts during the search.
"This was a tragic incident and our thoughts and prayers are with Jeff's family and friends," Hanle said.
After days with no new leads on his location, a group called "Tie one on for Jeff Walker," was created on the social-media site Facebook that asked its members to search tree wells and tie a piece of florescent-green tape to the trees which had been searched. His family also raised over $18,000 through an online effort, which will go toward search efforts.
Ski patrol and MRA sent a team in to search for Walker in the Grey Zones, but nothing was discovered. That likely is due to the expansiveness of the area, the amount of snow that had fallen in the days after his disappearance and the fact that rescue personnel had no reason to focus their efforts on the specific area near Child's Play, which is relatively far from the ski area boundary, said Pitkin County sheriff's deputy Alex Burchetta.
Generally, search and rescue teams base their efforts on areas where a person would likely be, Burchetta said. Based on interviews with friends and family, officials learned that Walker didn't regularly ski out-of-bounds terrain so they focused the search within the ski area, Burchetta said.
On Thursday afternoon, comments on the Facebook group page, which grew to 575 members, offered condolences on Walker's assumed passing.
If he did take his own life, Walker deserves an Academy Award because he was a classic example of a person who is happy, said Mike Smith, a friend of Walker who has known him for 20 years.
"There was never a moment that we weren't smiling with him," Smith said. "He was one of the best additions to our life."
Smith was with Walker the night before he disappeared, having dinner at Elevation with a group of friends. They drank fine bottles of wine, ate a great dinner and everyone was smiling, Smith said. It's weird to think he would take his life the next day, he said.
"We just had the best night at Elevation," Smith said with a pause. "How does your mind change that quickly?"
Smith could have imagined all of the other possibilities explaining Walker's disappearance, like he hit a tree while skiing and still hadn't been discovered or he left for another country, he said. Suicide, however, was not one of the options.
"I would say out of all of my friends, he is not the one I would think this would happen to," Smith said.
Rob Mobilian, owner of Piñons and a friend of Walker's, also was at dinner that Wednesday night. Walker appeared to be as happy as he's ever been, Mobilian said.
"People who know him as much as I do know he was in a good place, not depressed and not in any kind of trouble," Mobilian said. "You would know if somebody was feeling really weird or out of kilter."
Walker's friends are shocked about the possibility that he took his own life. Still, the official cause and circumstances of his death haven't been determined yet and suicide might not be the case, he said.
"The way this whole thing has been playing out, who knows what's going to come out," Mobilian said.

Damn, could this woman get any cuter? Maybe it's just me but I look at Christina Ricci from an entirely new perspective after I saw "Black Snake Moan" a while back. It was a pretty good movie overall but she was downright disturbing in it at times. However, getting a chance to see her naked several times over makes up for that flaw quite a bit so you won't get any complaints from me....I miss the "Casper" days!
With "Speed Racer" coming up pretty damn soon, I wouldn't be the least surprised if we start seeing a lot of Christina for sure. As per tradition here at MovieHotties.com, we follow every event which Ricci attends so we present these wicked new candids of her which were taken the other day at the "Ferragamo Fashion Show". I have no idea what it was about and I honestly don't give a shit since I'm not a fashion guy. However, Christina looked mighty fine with those legs and gorgeous smile so take a gander below and enjoy.

Sweden FSA Proposes Tripling Risk Weights on Mortgage Loans
Sweden's financial watchdog proposed tripling the money that banks have to set aside to protect against housing loan losses as debt burdens grow in the largest Nordic economy.
Lenders including Nordea Bank AB (NDA), Svenska Handelsbanken AB (SHBA), Swedbank AB (SWEDA) and SEB AB (SEBA) need to have a mortgage risk-weight floor of 15 percent, the Stockholm-based Financial Supervisory Authority said in a statement today. The largest banks currently have risk weights on mortgages as low as 5 percent, the FSA said. The regulator had previously indicated it may boost the weights to between 10 percent and 20 percent.
"The requirements bring about slightly higher costs for the banks, which in turn affects interest rates for non- financial corporations and households," the FSA said. "At the same time, the stricter requirements will lead to the banks being viewed as stable and resilient, which gives cheaper funding and partly counteracts the effect of higher costs."
The proposed requirements, which are now subject to public review, would mean the largest banks would need to set aside an additional 20 billion kronor ($3 billion), including 7.2 billion kronor for Swedbank and 5.5 billion kronor for Handelsbanken, the regulator estimated. Risk weights in Sweden have "dropped sharply" since 2007, when banks were allowed to use internal models based on Basel II, the FSA said. The weights in Sweden are among the lowest in Europe and compare with an average of more than 15 percent in Germany, according to the central bank.
Consumer Debt
Sweden's central bank has warned against rising consumer debt levels, which have grown to about 170 percent of disposable incomes. Household debt by that measure mustn't exceed 200 percent, Governor Stefan Ingves said this month. The bank predicts the level will remain largely unchanged at about 170 percent through 2015, after having risen from 90 percent in 1996, provided it doesn't cut rates further.
While household lending growth has slowed in Sweden since a cap on mortgages was introduced in 2010, mortgage lending growth still stood at an annual 4.6 percent in the third quarter. While that's the slowest since at least 2002, the pace is exceeding the euro-area where growth was close to zero, according to the Swedish FSA.
Swedish regulators are also tightening capital ratio requirements. The banks already have ratios that exceed the 12 percent core Tier 1 capital they need to hold by 2015, and next year's 10 percent target. Handelsbanken and Swedbank had core Tier 1 capital ratios of 17.9 percent and 17.3 percent, respectively, at the end of September. SEB's core Tier 1 ratio stood at 16.5 percent, while Nordea's was 12.2 percent.
The new rules would lower Swedbank's core capital ratio by 1.5 percentage points and Handelsbanken's by 1.1 percentage points, the FSA said. Nordea would need to set aside 3.4 billion kronor and SEB 2.3 billion kronor, cutting their ratios by 0.2 percentage point and 0.4 percentage point, respectively. The calculations haven't been adjusted for the effects of Basel III.
"This is approximately what we had expected," Peter Borsos, a spokesman for Swedbank, said by telephone. "We have the capital we need, as we had set this aside already. Setting aside more capital will marginally lead to higher costs for the banks, which affects the rates for households."

The Supreme Court has agreed to determine the constitutionality of ObamaCare after 26 states have appealed for it to do so. As explicitly stated in the 10th Amendment, the powers not specifically vested in the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the states and the people, which ObamaCare supersedes by requiring nearly every American to purchase health insurance.
As Yuval Levin explains at National Review, though, opponents should not be so quick to lose focus of the future of our healthcare system. Do you think ObamaCare will be struck down? Read Levin's views after the break, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Levin believes the the federal mandate will be overturned, but that it is still not the most serious problem with ObamaCare:
The key problem is the overall concept—which begins from the premise that our system of health-care financing will only keep costs under control if the government becomes an even greater force in the health sector than it is now and proceeds to create a system that will cause premiums to rise rapidly in the individual market and create major dislocation in the employer market, driving people into vastly overregulated exchanges that would push premiums higher still, and then initiate a program of subsidies whose only real answer to the mounting costs of coverage will be to pay them with public dollars and so inflate them further. It aims to spend a trillion dollars on subsidies to large insurance companies and the expansion of an unreformed Medicaid system, to micromanage the insurance industry in ways likely to make it even less efficient, to cut Medicare benefits without using the money to shore up the program or reduce the deficit, and to raise taxes on employment, investment, and medical research. CBO does not expect it to make a real dent in the inflation of health-care costs or to avert the fiscal implosion of Medicare. Instead, it will double down on price controls and centralized administration and make a real reform of our system much more difficult.
Lawyers David B. Rivkin and Lee A. Casey further explained the Medicaid problem at the Wall Street Journal:
...For more than 40 years, Medicaid has been a cooperative federal/state program to fund medical care for the poor. The states also contribute funds and have enjoyed wide discretion in designing and implementing their own programs. Now, as a means of ensuring the universal coverage ObamaCare set out to achieve, Medicaid has been transformed into a massive new health-insurance program for many in the middle class. The states must accept new, detailed federal requirements or lose all federal Medicaid funding—leaving their neediest citizens without any safety net.
Perhaps even more important than what the court decides next summer will be how the public votes in the fall. Do you think the Supreme Court will overturn ObamaCare?
