This week we're counting down 100 folks who made noteworthy contributions to pop culture in 2009. Some names you may recognize, while others may have escaped you.
Here's part one of the list, along with my interview with Kathleen Turner (No. 81).
I hope you enjoy the second installment:
79. Leonard Nimoy. Spock lives! The 78-year-old actor prospered with appearances in Star Trek and Fringe. If he could perform a Vulcan mind meld on me right now, he'd see how much I appreciate his long career (but he'd be disappointed with my subpar Trek knowledge).
78. Tim Gunn. I can barely dress myself each morning -- some days I just don a paper gown -- but I'd still consider applying for Project Runway so I could be near its kindhearted adviser. Gunn even starred in a Marvel comic this year, further blurring the line between chic and geek.
77. Eve Myles. As the gun-toting, level-headed Gwen Cooper, Myles was a highlight of Torchwood's all-too-brief third season. And though I no longer want her onscreen spouse to perish, I do hate any bloke who steals Gwen's screen time.
76. Those Darlins. The Tennessee trio blended a spoonful of honky tonk with a dollop of punk rock to create a delicious sonic sundae. (Although you tend to get so sweaty at one of their shows that maybe "sundae" is the wrong word. Enchilada, maybe.)
75. The Pixies. Most folks toast a milestone with a bottle of bubbly. To fans' delight, the Pixies celebrated Doolittle's 20th anniversary with a tour, TVappearances and a mega-box set. Thanks to them, I can pretend every day is 1989.
74. Natasha Khan. The enchanting performer, aka Bat for Lashes, expanded her fanbase with the shimmering Two Suns. I'm gonna declare it one of the year's best make-out records, and we'll just leave it at that.
73. Nick Offerman. His delightfully straight-talking character on Parks and Recreation, Ron Swanson, has become one of the best things about the series. Of course, the second he shaves his mustache, he's off the list! (Kidding. Probably.)
72. Morrissey. The singer issued a healthy collection of new material (Years of Refusal) but then canceled several shows due to illness. Hopefully, next year he'll feel good enough to remove several items of clothing onstage again.
71. John Hodgman. After a year spent voicing Coraline's father, appearing on Battlestar Galactica, chatting backstage during the Emmy telecast and working as a Daily Show correspondent, he's far from the "PC guy" now. And, because I follow him on Twitter like everyone else, part of me feels like I can call him my friend.
70. Eric Stonestreet. The actor brightens ABC's Modern Family as Cameron, a man who loves his partner, his daughter and snazzy shirts. Most of us can relate to at least one of those passions.
69. Lilli Carre. The artist continued making must-see work with Nine Ways to Disappear, a fantastic collection of graphic short stories. It's strange how my copies of this title keep disappearing when friends come to visit -- I wonder if Lilli has anything to do with that?
68. Eddie Trunk. The host's knowledge and enthusiasm on VH1 Classic's That Metal Show make me want to bone up on Sabbath facts and hair-band history. A few more interactions with the guy, and I just might start feathering my hair.
67. Woody Harrelson. Whether the role is supernatural (Zombieland) or super-serious (The Messenger), Woody always gives it 100%. I bet he could have played Amelia Earhart and pulled that off, too.
66. Beth Ditto. The Gossip beauty stayed busy with a new record (Music for Men) more energetic live performances and a closet full of funky clothes and makeup that would make Jem and the Holograms jealous.
65. Kevin Gillespie.Top Chef's Southern gentleman became a fan favorite, thanks to his homestyle cooking, passion for pork and burly beard. Next time I'm in Atlanta, I'm reserving a night -- heck, maybe a weekend -- to fill up on his dishes.
64. John Lithgow. After watching him smash and slice victims as Dexter's Trinity Killer, I'll never think of him in the same way. Intentionally or not, I think he dashed any hopes for a 3rd Rock from the Sun reunion.
63. Matt & Kim. OK, so it's a duo. But how could one choose between these two adorable musicians? Lessons Learned makes us all wanna strip naked in Times Square, despite the serious hygiene risks.
62. Ron Moore. If Battlestar Galactica had to end, at least it was in his hands ... although, uh, is there any way Starbuck could get get a do-over? Pretty please?
61. Wayne Coyne. The Flaming Lips singer released a well-received record with his band (Embryonic), appeared nude in a music video and stayed busy on the road, performing on shows like The Colbert Report and curating the All Tomorrow's Parties festival. On top of it all, Do You Realize? was voted Oklahoma's official rock song. So the next time you're driving through the Sooner State, you know what to blare.
60. Martin Starr. Cheers to the actor who has quietly been making TV and movies funnier since 1999. This year the excellent Party Down and Adventureland would've had way more bathroom breaks without him.
What do you think of the list so far? Part three of the top 100 will be posted Wednesday.

Welcome to Freedom Valley
Hi, welcome to the Freedom Valley Horse Rescue website. I am Christine my husband is Howie, we started this site to show you the horses that we have rescued and are looking for loving homes for, and to share our successes. The disturbing part of what we have to share with you is that it is estimated that over 100,000 Canadian horses and approximately the same number of horses brought in from the U.S. will be slaughtered for overseas consumers in 2008. Not all of these horses are old, lame or unmanageable. It is surprising the number of beautiful well handled horses that are purchased by meat buyers, their previous owners completely unaware that their beloved friend could possibly end up going to a place like that.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/3/2013 (1588 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The first families have moved into their brand-new homes in phase one of the Oak Bluff West development, with more soon to come.
Qualico Communities' project manager for Oak Bluff West, Lyne Jones, said 75 lots located north of Horizon Drive were serviced in 2011, with 36 more on the south side being developed this spring.
This part of the development will also include space for 14 bungalow-style condominiums being constructed by Randall Homes. Jason Jaquet with Randall Homes said construction will start on the first four units as soon as road restrictions are lifted this spring. One of the four two-bedroom units will serve as a show home.
Vice-president of community development with Qualico, Eric Vogan said the idea for including condos in Oak Bluff West came from RM of Macdonald councillors.
Macdonald reeve Rodney Burns explained that he and the other councillors were looking for options for local residents who want to downsize.
"We don't have any real condos in the municipality and we feel like we lose some of the people," he said.
The main access to the sub-division runs off Highway 3. Burns said council is working with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation on future plans to improve traffic safety in the Oak Bluff area.
With another 108 lots scheduled to be serviced this summer as the second phase of the development takes shape, Burns acknowledges that Oak Bluff's population will grow substantially. He said Red River Valley School Division officials have indicated there is plenty of room in Oak Bluff Community School for more students.
With four show homes in the recent spring Parade of Homes, Vogan believes potential home buyers will be attracted to Oak Bluff West.
"You're on the edge of everything," he said, adding the development has a country feel, but the many stores and restaurants located along south Kenaston Blvd. are only about a 10-minute drive away.
"I believe that we'll see some of the children, who grew up in the area, moving back into the community," said Burns.

text: I've just been told that Shapeways has decided not to refund sub quality prints - ie those where due to the failure of the Shapeways staff to align the model correctly in the print tray the model is marred by visible stepping and knitting. Please note this is the result of the actions of Shapeways staff and is not a problem with the materials or printing process. This is a big blow as I always had the confidence to order knowing that if there was a production issue Shapeways would correct it. Until this issue is addressed I'm sorry but I will not be reordering, and I would urge others to do likewise.

We head out to the PhoCusWright conference each year to find
out what's new in the world of Internet travel. This year's was held last week at the
Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, AZ—and while we didn't get a
chance to play the property's gorgeous golf course (which is so steeped in
Scottish tradition you can rent a kilt to play in!), we did get a chance to meet with some cutting-edge creators of travel technology. Some highlights:
Gogobot. Facebook for travelers. Get and give advice on destinations
around the globe, connect with friends and like-minded travelers, and create
trip plans. Sure, you could ask questions of your Facebook friends, but Gogobot channels those questions into specific destinations and delivers an audience guaranteed to be passionate about travel.
TrustYou. Look out, Trip Advisor: This site not only pulls in user reviews from across
the Web, but also analyzes them using semantic technology and pushes the
qualities most important to you to the top of the results. A search for "Inexpensive
New York hotels," for example, offered up the Roger Smith, since it had 7 user
reviews with the words "very low rate." Very cool.
Hipmunk. Operating on the correct assumption that air travel can be agonizing, Hipmunk
(yes, their logo is a chipmunk) has created a way to search and sort flights by
how agonizing they are—i.e. number and length of layovers. Additionally, the
site hides an airline's similar flights that are more agonizing (i.e. longer
elapsed time and more expensive) so you don't have to wade through them.
UsingMiles. Quick: how many miles do you have on Delta? What about American? And how
much will it cost to use them? UsingMiles gives you a place to
track your miles as well as your hotel rewards points. Then, when you're ready
to book, the site's search engine shows you all available award-travel options,
how many miles you'll use (or need) to book, and—most importantly—what the
value of those miles is vs. paying for a ticket.
Hotel Rewards. We all get rewards points at the big chain hotels like
Starwood and—as of recently—the Ritz-Carlton. But why not at small, independent
hotels? Stash has created a network of boutique properties where you can earn
points for free nights. Now that's something we can all use more of.

A scientific study was done some years ago,which indicates that the genetic heritage between Jewish people and [some of] the Arabs shows that they have a common ancestor —Abraham —just as the Bible records. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/05/000509003653.htm
That being so,then Arab peoples get to Abraham through Esau/Edom,Jacob's twin brother,and through Ishmael,Isaac's half-brother. Perhaps the Palestinians aren't an "invented people" after all, but have simply lost track of, or disconnected from, their Semitic roots.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East today is … Continue reading

|Application of the Kusumoto Cost-Metric to Evaluate the Cost-Effectiveness of Software Inspections
|Mandala, Narendar Reddy
|Inspection and testing are two widely recommended techniques for software quality improvement with a common goal of defect detection and removal in software products. While testing cannot be conducted until software is implemented, inspections can be applied in early stages of software development. In this way inspection enables saving of testing cost and time. To manage the quality of their software, project managers need objective information to make a trade-off between the testing costs saved by performing inspections against the testing cost that would otherwise be spent if no inspections were performed. Project managers also need to decide on the number of inspectors that would make it a cost-effective inspection process. To accomplish these research goals, we have analyzed the cost invested in the inspection process against the cost saved from the inspection process by applying the Kusumoto cost-metrics on an inspection data set with varying number of inspection team size.

Very exciting that a captive portal could be part of this system. Since NoCatAuth is done in Perl,
and PHP runs on m0n0wall and I know both, if I could help out with that I'd be willing. That's
assuming it would be done in PHP and not C (which I'd be no help in).
Any chance of an SSL based VPN (I know OpenVPN integration has been mentioned) being added?
If a captive portal system is done, would it just be a splash page (in which case there is a C
version done by the authors of NoCatAuth you might be able to use) or would it handle different
levels of authorization? This leads to the next natural question, where would the list of authorized
users be stored? OpenRadius? Text files, etc?

It was a week that saw the end of the government shutdown, the debt remaining stuck until a deal was reached and a bison break a barricade. All of these are elements of the CNSNews.com Best of The Week.
The government shutdown came to an end after an agreement was reached in the House and Senate. But who do people blame for the shutdown? It just may be George W. Bush.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is critical of Senate Republicans who supported the deal that ended the partial government shutdown without delaying or defunding Obamacare. However, he did manage to see some positives in the shutdown debate.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says Democrats got everything they wanted in the debt deal and he's confident this kind of debate won't happen again next year.
The Columbus Day holiday marked the 150th straight day that the Treasury had said that America's debt subject to limit was stuck at $16,699,396,000,000 —about $25 million below the debt ceiling. This was before the ceiling was raised in the shutdown ending deal.
With the end of the partial government shutdown the Pandacam at the National Zoo is back online. But that's not the only animal video catching attention this week. CNSNews.com offers you a look at a bison versus a government barricade.

So after a while instead of "villein" he became a "copyholder."
The last was practically the counterpart of the mediæval English copyholder.
Most former electors and every leaseholder and every copyholder were now excluded.
This copyholder was undoubtedly the descendant of the Welsh serf of mediæval times.
A copyholder without legal remedy may seem little better than a tenant in mere villenage, except in name.
He drove a delivery wagon for a grocer, ushered at a theater, was even a copyholder in the proofroom of a newspaper.
For it is the destruction of the inheritance and against the nature of a copyholder for life.
In 1581 it interferes to protect a copyholder who has been kept out of his holding by the Dean and Chapter of Peterborough.
The copyholder must not commit waste either by cutting 117 down timber, &c., or by neglecting to repair buildings.
A tenant at a quit rent is, to all intents and purposes, a proprietor; a copyholder is not less so than a freeholder.

VISTA — A Vista man was robbed of money, a cell phone, about 25 grams of marijuana and a bong by two recent acquaintances who also nearly shot him in the head at about 5:40 p.m. Wednesday, sheriff's deputies said.
The victim said he had met the men Tuesday at a medical marijuana dispensary in San Diego and invited them over to smoke at his home in the 1200 block of Buena Vista Drive on Wednesday afternoon, deputies said. The three smoked marijuana together for about two hours before one of the guests robbed the victim and attempted to shoot him with a small-caliber handgun.
The shooter fired a single shot, "barely missing his head," deputies said. The men then fled in a black or blue mid-sized sedan, they said.
The victim said one of the men was black, about 30 years old, about six feet tall, weighed about 170 lbs, with curly black hair and a thin goatee, deputies said. The other man as black and heavyset.

Peter Costello has hit back at Michael Kroger after his ex-best mate launched a series of extraordinary broadsides at the former treasurer, in a public spat fast embroiling other members of the Liberal Party.
Mr Kroger this morning repeated his claim that Mr Costello — who he described as ''ungracious'' and ''absurd'' — had approached him about a return to the federal political stage setting off a row over pre-selections in blue-ribbon Melbourne seats.
But Mr Costello has shot down Mr Kroger's account saying, ''as far as I am concerned I am out of politics''.
''The Liberal Party is run by a membership, not by factional bosses,'' he said in a statement.
''I was the longest Deputy Leader in its history. I know how it works. I do not need to go to Mr Kroger for assistance in relation to its affairs.''
Mr Costello turned the tables on the former party heavyweight, saying Mr Kroger had issued a personal plea for assistance during the preselection bid of his former wife, federal Senator Helen Kroger.
''In the lead-up to the recent Senate pre-selection, Mr Kroger contacted me a number of times asking me to intervene with Senators (Mitch) Fifield and (Scott) Ryan to preserve the position of Senator Helen Kroger,'' Mr Costello said.
''I declined to do so. As far as I am concerned, I am out of politics and had no intention of intervening in the Senate pre-selections.''
Senator Kroger was demoted to the precarious third position on the Victorian senate ticket three weeks ago.
After a post-budget breakfast featuring an address by shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey this morning, Mr Kroger hit Melbourne's radio airwaves to accuse Mr Costello of ungracious behaviour since the Howard government was bundled from power.
He said Liberals were fed-up with Mr Costello's "petty" refusal to appear at any forum - even closed Liberal functions - with former prime minister John Howard, and his attacks on other senior parliamentary Liberals, both serving and retired.
I was the longest Deputy Leader in its history. I know how it works. I do not need to go to Mr Kroger for assistance in relation to its affairs.'
Mr Kroger said Mr Costello's anger at Mr Howard for failing to make way as prime minister had become "ridiculous" and "absurd".
"After 35 of years of being Peter's best friend, ally and supporter, even I've had enough, even I'm at my wits' end with Peter - and there comes a point where you know people have to move on," he said.
"Peter made a decision in 2007 - I think the wrong decision - to spit the dummy and leave the Parliament. He should've stayed, he should have been opposition leader, he would've been prime minister."
Mr Kroger said Mr Costello had spoken to him about a return to politics in a safe Liberal seat during a "private club" lunch last October, a discussion Mr Costello strenuously denies took place.
According to Mr Kroger, the lunch ended badly after Mr Costello demanded Mr Kroger persuade rising star Josh Frydenberg to stand aside from the safe seat of Kooyong, but refused to ask his former staffer Kelly O'Dwyer to vacate his former seat of Higgins.
Mr Kroger said the former treasurer was filled with vitriol and had few positive words for his former colleagues.
Mr Costello said he would not respond to Mr Kroger's ''personal attacks''.
''I hope he will cease them,'' he said. ''I have too many positive business and personal interests to attend to.''
But Mr Costello took the time to hose down claims he was a critic of Mr Abbott, saying he regularly spoke to the Opposition leader.
''I want to see Tony and Joe [Hockey] become prime minister and treasurer of Australia,'' he said. ''I know what a tough job they will have to get Australia back to where it was.''
The bust-up had instant repercussions for the Liberals, with Mr Hockey drawn into the drama, caught on camera in a tense conversation with Mr Kroger in the corridors of 3AW radio station.
"It's regrettable. They need to sit down and have a beer and settle their differences," Mr Hockey later said of the spat between the two former powerbrokers.
Senator Fifield, a former Costello staffer, came out in support of his old boss this afternoon, saying "we should honour the heroes of our Party".
"Peter has never once indicated to me a desire to launch a political comeback," Senator Fifield said.
"Nothing Michael Kroger says will detract from Peter Costello's outstanding record. Every member of the Liberal Party should be focussed on our prospects at the next election."
Former foreign minister Alexander Downer told ABC radio he would not back either side but said that it was "very sad" that Mr Kroger and Mr Costello had fallen out.
Mr Abbott played down the feud, saying he was more focused on holding the government to account.
"Michael and Peter are both friends of mine, I gather there's a bit of a disagreement. I hope it's resolved as soon as possible,'' he told 774 ABC.
''I don't believe that a falling out between two good people is material for the running of the alternative government of our country.''

A KITE surfer who saved a man from drowning in freezing water has said he would never think twice about helping someone in trouble.
Sam Caslin was enjoying the wind on the River Blackwater when he saw David Murrell, who had fallen overboard from his boat, about half a mile off West Mersea.
Mr Murrell, who was not wearing a life jacket, desperately tried to tread the choppy water in temperatures of 3°C before Mr Caslin made his way to pull him from the water.
"I would do it for anyone," said Mr Caslin, 29, who is from Mersea and now lives in Chelmsford.
"If you see someone in the water, you've got to go and help, it's just what you do."
Mr Caslin, who has been kite surfing for six years, initially thought Mr Murrell, an engineer from Mersea, was a buoy when he saw him from about 50m away.
The estate agent, who was wearing a 5mm thick winter wet suit, was surprised to find Mr Murrell was wearing shorts and a polo shirt.
"The man was pretty cold. I was in the type of thing you wear in the depths of winter, so I was surprised he was wearing that."
When Mr Caslin got to Mr Murrell, he pulled him up and told him to grip onto his harness.
"Controlling a kite is hard enough when it's just you but to keep control with two is damn hard," he said.
When a second boat arrived to pick up Mr Murrell, Mr Caslin thought his work was done but when Mr Murrell could not get himself onto the boat, friend Jack Grogan, 26, bravely adandoned his kite and went to help Mr Murrell get on board.
"He's just lucky some people were around, it could have been much worse," added Mr Caslin.
The incident occurred at about 1.25pm on Sunday, April 14.
Lifeboat and coastguard crews were also called to the scene.

Characteristics Neuroblastomas
- Neuroblastomas are the 2nd most common cause of death in small children.
- An urgent need of new methods for diagnosis exists.
- As even this common tumour is much too uncommon in individual countries in order to recruit a sufficient amount of patients for clinical studies, research is being conducted here within an international network of a multicentre European study. The resource-intensive project is funded primarily by the EU under the direction of the St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute: www.siopen-r-net.org
For over 20 years, Univ.-Doz. Dr. Peter Ambros has worked in tumour research.His goal is to characterise neuroblastomas in greater detail.
The molecular tumour profile supports doctors in selecting the proper treatment: For patients with comparatively 'tame' neuroblastomas, the burden of radiation and chemotherapy following the operative removal of the tumour is avoided. St. Anna is one of the first institutions in the world that has made this procedure possible - success in healing with surgical measures without chemotherapy.

"The Long March," the latest production by the Texas Woman's University Theatre Department, returns to its Denton roots after successful performances in Ireland.
The play, a powerful story of a tribe of outcasts searching for a sense of belonging, will be performed in the Margo Jones Performance Hall. Show times are 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 13. Tickets are $5 for students and senior citizens and $10 for adults. For reservations or more information, contact the TWU Theatre Box Office at 8-1-2020.
An original play written by Irish playwright Martin Maguire, "The Long March" is the product of an international collaboration between TWU and the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin, Ireland. Patrick Sutton, artistic director of the Gaiety School, served as an artist in residence at TWU in October, working with students on improvisation and documenting their work. Sutton returned to Dublin and gave the pieces to Maguire, who scripted the play using the students' work as his inspiration.
The cast visited Ireland for three weeks during TWU's winter break to rehearse and perform the play at the SS Michael and John Theatre in Temple Bar, Dublin. The play was hailed as "fresh and energetic" by The Irish Times, the Irish equivalent of the New York Times.

It's officially Friday, which means it's time for a reader-guided discussion. I have a couple of questions to kick things off after the jump, then the thread is yours. Float any topic that's on your mind in the comments and we'll spend the day batting them back and forth.
On SixersBeat last night, Derek and I spent some time talking about trade scenarios involving the draft. Below are two scenarios, let me know where you fall on each:
- The Wizards wind up with the #3 pick, the Sixers at #6 or #7. Washington is willing to trade us the #3 pick and Gilbert Arenas (with his monster contract) for our pick, plus the expiring contracts of Sam, Willie and Kapono. Would you pull the trigger?
- Some un-named team is willing to trade us a pick in the top three for Andre Iguodala. We'd have to take some contract(s) back, but they wouldn't be completely toxic. We'd keep our pick, let's say #6. Would you pull the trigger?
That's all I've got. Take it away, guys.

Allegations shock SU community
As news of Syracuse University senior Brian T. Shaw's arrest on a charge of second-degree murder spread through the community Thursday, Chancellor Nancy Cantor sent an e-mail to students, faculty, staff and local alumni to address the tragedy and offer counseling to those who need it.
'As of now, our comprehension of this unspeakable tragedy is incomplete,' Cantor wrote in the e-mail. 'Neither our heads nor our hearts permit us to fully understand all that has happened and why.'
'The children and the family of the deceased are in our thoughts, as are those on campus who know Brian Shaw,' said SU spokesman Kevin Morrow.
He said the university is cooperating fully with the Syracuse police and the Onondaga County District Attorney's office.
The university places students charged with violent crimes on interim suspension pending resolution by the criminal justice system, Morrow said. The university has yet to receive a report from police on Shaw's arrest, Morrow said, but expects one soon. When the university receives the report Shaw will be placed on interim suspension, he said.
Shaw is a member of the SU cheerleading team and a brother in the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. He attended Henninger High School in Syracuse. The victim, Chiarra Seals, attended Corcoran, another city high school. The two had a four-year-old daughter together. Seals had a 17-month-old son with another man.
'Brian T. Shaw has been a great friend and brother to all of us at Sigma Phi Epsilon,' the Syracuse chapter of the fraternity said in a written statement. 'We are deeply shocked and saddened by this incident. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the victims.'
Melissa Apostolidis, a sophomore communications and political science major and sister of Gamma Phi Beta, said she has known Shaw for about a year through the greek system.
'This is just shocking,' Apostolidis said.
She said the alleged murder is not something she would have expected from Shaw.
'He doesn't seem like an aggressive person,' she said.
Nicholas Gaudreau, a graduate student in the museum studies program, lives in the apartment building where Shaw lives and has known Shaw since August.
'I was a little nervous when I got there … living with these three frat boys,' he said. 'But they've always been very well mannered.'
Gaudreau said he knew that Shaw is a father but had never spoken with Shaw about his personal life.
'I always found him to be absolutely pleasant,' he said.
Shauna George, a freshman psychology major, said she met Shaw this year, became close friends and spent a lot of time with him a month and a half ago.
'He is the sweetest person in the world,' George said. 'I never thought he would hurt a fly.'
George said she was stunned when she first heard of the charge against Shaw.
'I didn't want to believe it,' she said.
George said she had met Shaw's daughter before and said he 'got along so well with his daughter.'
Jon Baselice, a sophomore economic and political science major who met Shaw through mutual friends, was also surprised by the news.
'He was a nice guy,' Baselice said. 'Brian – killing somebody, I can't see it. He's never shown any signs of a temper around me.'

Early life
He was born Joseph Levitch (some sources say Jerome Levitch) in Newark, New Jersey, to Russian Jewish parents.[2] His father, Daniel Levitch, was a master of ceremonies and vaudeville entertainer[3][4][5] who used the professional name Danny Lewis,[6] His mother, Rachel ("Rae") Levitch (née Brodsky),[7] was a piano player for a radio station. Lewis started performing at age five and would often perform alongside his parents in the Catskill Mountains in New York State.[8] By 15 he had developed his "Record Act", in which he exaggeratedly mimed the lyrics to songs on a phonograph. He used the professional name Joey Lewis, but soon changed it to Jerry Lewis to avoid confusion with comedian Joe E. Lewis and heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis.[9] He dropped out of Irvington High School in the tenth grade. He was a "character" even in his teenage years pulling pranks in his neighborhood including sneaking into kitchens to steal fried chicken and pies. During World War II he was rejected for military service because of a heart murmur.[10]
Teaming with Dean MartinDean Martin, who served as straight man to Lewis' zany antics in the Martin and Lewis comedy team. The pair distinguished themselves from the majority of comedy acts of the 1940s by relying on their interaction together instead of planned skits. In the late 1940s, they quickly rose to national prominence, first with their popular nightclub act, next as stars of their own radio program. Within a year of their first act together, they went from earning $150–175 a week each at one club to $30,000.00 a week as a team at the Copacabana.
Martin and Lewis made many appearances on early live television, their first on the June 20, 1948 debut broadcast of Toast of the Town with Ed Sullivan on the CBS TV Network (later The Ed Sullivan Show). This was followed on October 3, 1948 by an appearance on the NBC TV series Welcome Aboard, then a stint as the first of a series of hosts of The Colgate Comedy Hour in 1950. The duo began their Paramount film careers in 1949 as ensemble players in My Friend Irma, based on the popular radio series of the same name. This was followed by a sequel in 1950, My Friend Irma Goes West. Starting with At War with the Army (1950), Martin and Lewis were the stars of their own vehicles, in fourteen additional titles at Paramount, ending with Hollywood or Bust (1956). All sixteen were produced by Hal Wallis.
As Martin's roles in their films became less important over time the partnership became strained. Martin's diminished participation became an embarrassment in 1954 when Look magazine used a publicity photo of the team for the magazine cover but cropped Martin out of the photo.[11] The partnership ended on July 24, 1956. Attesting the team's popularity, DC Comics published the best-selling The Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comic books from 1952 to 1957, after which DC featured Lewis solo in The Adventures of Jerry Lewis until 1971. In this latter Lewis was sometimes featured with Superman, Batman, and various other DC heroes and villains. It inspired the Filmation cartoon production company to make a 1970 series called Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down, with Jerry as the one reality-based character alongside other fictitious ones, including fictionalized Lewis relatives.
While both Martin and Lewis went on to successful solo careers, for years neither would comment on the split nor consider a reunion. They made occasional public appearances together between their breakup and 1961 but were not seen together until a surprise appearance by Martin on Lewis's Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Telethon in 1976, arranged by Frank Sinatra.[12]
The pair eventually reconciled in the late 1980s after the death of Martin's son, Dean Paul Martin, in 1987. In 1989, the two men were seen together on stage for the last time when Martin was making what would be his final live performances at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Lewis pushed out a birthday cake for Martin.s 72nd birthday and sang "Happy Birthday" to him, and joking, "why we broke up, I'll never know".[13] In Lewis's 2005 book Dean and Me (A Love Story), Lewis wrote of his kinship with Martin, who died on December 25, 1995.
1950s to 1970s
After the split from Martin, Lewis remained at Paramount and became a major comedy star with his first film as a solo comic, The Delicate Delinquent (1957). Teaming with director Frank Tashlin, whose background as a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon director suited Lewis's brand of humor, he starred in five more films, and even appeared uncredited as Itchy McRabbitt in Li'l Abner (1959). Lewis tried his hand at releasing solo music in the 1950s, having a chart hit with the song "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" (a song largely associated with Al Jolson and later re-popularized by Judy Garland) as well as the song, "It All Depends on You" in 1958. He eventually released his own album titled, Jerry Lewis Just Sings.[10][14] By the end of his contract with producer Hal B. Wallis, Lewis had several productions of his own under his belt.
His first three efforts, The Delicate Delinquent (1957), Rock-A-Bye Baby (1958) and The Geisha Boy (1958), were all efforts to move away from Wallis, whom Lewis felt was hindering his comedy. In 1959, a contract between Paramount Pictures and Jerry Lewis Productions was signed specifying a payment of $10 million plus 60% of the profits for 14 films over a seven-year period.[15]
In 1960, Lewis finished his contract with Wallis with Visit to a Small Planet (1960), and wrapped up work on his own production, Cinderfella. Cinderfella was postponed for a Christmas 1960 release, and Paramount, needing a quickie feature film for its summer 1960 schedule, held Lewis to his contract to produce one. Lewis came up with The Bellboy. Using the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami as his setting—and on a small budget, with a very tight shooting schedule, and no script—Lewis shot the film by day and performed at the hotel in the evenings. Bill Richmond collaborated with him on the many sight gags. Lewis later revealed that Paramount was not happy financing a 'silent movie' and withdrew backing. Lewis used his own funds to cover the $950,000 budget. During production Lewis developed the technique of using video cameras and multiple closed circuit monitors, which allowed him to review his performance instantly. His techniques and methods, documented in his book and his USC class, enabled him to complete most of his films on time and under budget. Later, he incorporated videotape, and as more portable and affordable equipment became available, this technique would become an industry standard known as video assist.
Lewis followed The Bellboy by directing several more films which he co-wrote with Richmond, including The Ladies Man (1961), The Errand Boy (1961), The Patsy (1964) and the well-known comedy, The Nutty Professor (1963). Lewis occasionally handed directing reins to Frank Tashlin, who directed several of his productions, including It's Only Money (1962) and Who's Minding the Store? (1963). In 1965, Lewis directed and (along with Bill Richmond) wrote the comedy film The Family Jewels about a young heiress who must choose among six uncles, one of whom is up to no good and out to harm the girl's beloved bodyguard who practically raised her. Lewis played all six uncles and the bodyguard.
On television, Lewis starred in three different programs called The Jerry Lewis Show. The first was a two-hour Saturday night variety show on ABC in the fall of 1963. The lavish, big-budget production failed to find an audience and was canceled after 13 weeks. His next show was a one-hour variety show on NBC in 1967–69. A test of a syndicated talk show for Metromedia in 1984 was not continued beyond the scheduled five shows.
By 1966, Lewis, now 40, was no longer an angular juvenile and his routines seemed more labored. His box office appeal waned to the point where Paramount Pictures new executives felt no further need for the Lewis comedies and did not wish to renew his 1959 profit sharing contract. Undaunted, Lewis packed up and went to [16] In 1968, he screened Spielberg's early film, Amblin' and told his students, "That's what filmmaking is all about".[17] Lewis starred in and directed the unreleased The Day the Clown Cried in 1972. The film was a drama set in a Nazi concentration camp. Lewis rarely discusses the experience, but once explained why the film has not been released, by suggesting litigation over post-production financial difficulties. However, he admitted during his book tour for Dean and Me that a major factor for the film's burial is that he is not proud of the effort.
Stage work and recent decades
Lewis has also appeared in stage musicals. In 1976, he appeared in a revival of Hellzapoppin' with Lynn Redgrave, but it closed on the road before reaching Broadway.[18] In 1994, he made his Broadway debut, as a replacement cast member playing the Devil in a revival of the baseball musical, Damn Yankees, choreographed by future film director Rob Marshall (Chicago).[19]
Lewis returned to the screen in 1981 with Hardly Working, a film he both directed and starred in. Despite being panned by the critics, the film eventually earned $50 million. He followed this up with a critically acclaimed performance in Martin Scorsese's 1983 film, The King of Comedy, in which Lewis plays a late-night TV host plagued by obsessive fans (played by Robert De Niro and Sandra Bernhard). Lewis continued doing work in small films in the 1990s, most notably his supporting roles in 1994's Arizona Dream and 1995's Funny Bones. He appeared on television on one episode of Mad About You's first season in 1992, playing an eccentric billionaire. In 1994, the Columbia Pictures film, North featured footage of Lewis's classic movies. In 2008, Lewis reprised his role as Prof. Kelp in The Nutty Professor, his first CGI animated film, a sequel to his 1963 film, co-starring Drake Bell as the voice of his nephew, Harold Kelp.
Lewis has long remained popular in Europe: he was consistently praised by some French critics in the influential magazine Cahiers du Cinéma for his absurd comedy, in part because he had gained respect as an auteur who had total control over all aspects of his films, comparable to Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock. In March 2006, the French Minister of Culture awarded Lewis the Légion d'honneur, calling him the "French people's favorite clown".[20] Liking Lewis has long been a common stereotype about the French in the minds of many English-speakers, and is often the object of jokes in Anglosphere pop culture.[21] "That Americans can't see Jerry Lewis's genius is bewildering", says N. T. Binh, a French film magazine critic. And such bewilderment, even as late as 2013, was the basis of the 2001 book, "Why the French Love Jerry Lewis," by Rae Beth Gordon.[22]
In 2009, Lewis traveled to the Cannes Film Festival to announce his return to cinema, after a 13-year absence, for the film Max Rose, his first leading role since Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy.[23][24] In early 2011, Lewis signed a deal with Artificial Intelligence Entertainment and Capital Films to remake three of his 1960s films (The Bellboy, Cinderfella and The Family Jewels), with Lewis serving as co-executive producer of the new films. Lewis directed a musical theatre version of The Nutty Professor at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville from July 31 to August 19, 2012. The book is by Rupert Holmes and the score is by Marvin Hamlisch.[25][26] Lewis signed for a starring role in Max Rose.[27]
Film portrayal
Lewis was portrayed by Sean Hayes in the 2002 made-for-television movie Martin and Lewis. The film focuses on Lewis' partnership with Dean Martin (played by Jeremy Northam) and how they came to be a team. Hayes met Lewis during shooting of the televised film, and went on to receive a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries.
Personal life
Lewis has been married twice:
- Patti Palmer (née Esther Calonico),[28] a former singer with Ted Fio Rito;[29] married October 3, 1944, divorced September 1980.[30]
- SanDee Pitnick; married February 13, 1983; a 32-year-old Las Vegas dancer. They were married in Key Biscayne, Florida; Lewis was 56.[31]
He has six sons (one adopted) and one adopted daughter:
- Gary Harold Lee Levitch was born on July 31, 1945[32] to Lewis and Patti Palmer. Gary Levitch's name was subsequently legally changed to Gary Lewis. As a 1960s pop musician, Gary Lewis had a string of hits with his group Gary Lewis & the Playboys.[33]
- Ronald Steven "Ronnie" Lewis; born December 1949 (adopted) with Patti Palmer
- Scott Anthony Lewis; born February 22, 1956 to Patti Palmer[34]
- Christopher Joseph Lewis; born October 1957 to Patti Palmer
- Anthony Joseph Lewis; born October 1959 to Patti Palmer
- Joseph Christopher Lewis; born January 1964 to Patti Palmer, died October 24, 2009 from a narcotics overdose.[35]
- Danielle Sara Lewis (daughter); adopted March 1992 with SanDee Pitnick.[30]
Health concernspratfall from a piano while performing at the Sands Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip on March 20, 1965.[36][37] The accident almost left him paralyzed. In its aftermath Lewis became addicted to the pain killer Percodan for some thirteen years.[36] He says he has been off the drug since 1978 and has not taken one since.[37] In April 2002, Lewis had a Medtronic "Synergy" neurostimulator implanted in his back,[38] which has helped reduce the discomfort. He is now one of the company's leading spokesman.[37][38] It is claimed Lewis suffered his first heart attack while filming Cinderfella in 1960.[39] In December 1982, Lewis was felled by a serious heart attack. En route home to San Diego from New York City on a cross-country commercial airline flight he endured a minor heart attack on June 11, 2006.[40] It was then discovered that he had pneumonia as well as a severely damaged heart. He underwent a cardiac catheterization and two stents were inserted into one of his coronary arteries, which had become 90% blocked. The surgery resulted in a return of blood flow to his heart and has allowed him to continue his rebound from earlier lung problems. Having the cardiac catheterization also meant canceling several major events from his schedule, but Lewis fully recuperated in a matter of weeks. In 1999, his Australian tour was cut short when he had to be hospitalized in Darwin with viral meningitis. He was ill for more than five months. It was reported in the Australian press that he had failed to pay his medical bills; however, Lewis maintained that the payment confusion was the fault of his health insurer. The resulting negative publicity caused him to sue his insurer for US$100 million.[41] Lewis has had prostate cancer,[42] type 1 diabetes,[37] pulmonary fibrosis,[36] and a decades-long history of heart disease. Prednisone[36] treatment in the early 2000s for pulmonary fibrosis resulted in weight gain and a noticeable change in his appearance. In September 2001, Lewis was unable to perform at a planned London charity event. Some months thereafter, Lewis began an arduous, months-long therapy which weaned him off prednisone and enabled him to return to work. On June 12, 2012, he was treated and released from a hospital after collapsing from hypoglycemia at a New York Friars' Club event. This latest health news forced him to cancel a show in Sydney.[43]
Charity work
Throughout his career, Lewis has supported fundraising for research into muscular dystrophy. From the early 1950s until 2011, he served as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).[44] Lewis began hosting telethons to benefit MDA in 1952. From 1966 to 2010 he hosted the annual Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, since renamed the MDA Show of Strength. It has raised over $2.6 billion.[45] On August 3, 2011, it was announced that Lewis would no longer host telethons.[46] Lewis is no longer associated with the Muscular Dystrophy Association.[47]
Jerry Lewis Cinemas
In 1969, Jerry Lewis agreed to lend his name to "Jerry Lewis Cinemas", offered by National Cinema Corporation as a franchise business opportunity for those interested in theatrical movie exhibition. Jerry Lewis Cinemas stated that their theaters could be operated by a staff of as few as two with the aid of automation and support provided by the franchiser in booking films and in other aspects of film exhibition. A forerunner of the smaller rooms typical of later multi-screen complexes, a Jerry Lewis Cinema was billed in franchising ads as a "mini-theatre" with a seating capacity of between 200 and 350. In addition to Lewis's name, each Jerry Lewis Cinema bore a sign with a cartoon logo of Lewis in profile.[48]
Initially 158 territories were franchised, with a buy-in fee of $10,000 or $15,000 depending on the territory, for what was called an "individual exhibitor". For $50,000, the Jerry Lewis Cinemas offered an opportunity known as an "area directorship", in which investors controlled franchising opportunities in a territory as well as their own cinemas.[49] The success of the chain was hampered by a policy of only booking second-run, family-friendly films. Eventually the policy was changed, and the Jerry Lewis Cinemas were allowed to show more competitive films, but after a decade the chain failed. Both Lewis and National Cinema Corp. declared bankruptcy in 1980.[50]

Is there any cards that require no credit history? I have a primarily online bank account (USAA) if that makes a difference.

Gallery Fashion Fix - Spring 2014
Check out who's clinched the award for our favourite fashion moment of the day!
No7 launches a groundbreaking device today that determines the correct skin shade and tone
Buying the correct foundation can be a challenge. It's not always easy to determine one's true skin tone and colour simply by trying a product in store.
What's more, many women check the colour of their foundation on their hands rather than on the face, making it easy to get the wrong shade.
No7 have come to the rescue and have created a device that determines the correct shades.
This hand-held gadget is rested against the jaw to assess your skin's exact tone, lightness, colour saturation and reveal your true shade.
Once your shade has been determined, a consultant will also advise on the best No7 foundation for your skin needs.
All the shades of the No7 foundations have been reformulated too, to match the No7 skin-true shade and the colour palette is available across all of the No7 foundations. From Beautifully Matte Foundation to Lift & Luminate Foundation, you can find your shade across all of the No7 range.
The No7 Foundation Match Made Service is available in 668 stores nationwide and over 1000 Boots advisers have been specially trained to use the hand-held device and follow up with a consultation.
What's more, the service is free and there's no obligation to purchase any products.

Passpack keeps your logins safe, organized and available 24/7.
You can even securely send passwords and messages to people you trust.
By default, Passpack will not lock up your account when 1 Click Login is active.
This means that your account must always be open (and visible) in order to use your Passpack It! button. However, some folks like to login to Passpack in the morning, and want to use 1 Click Login all day without having to keep Passpack open and unlocked in a tab. Go to Auto-login > Options for power users to do this.
Please note that if you close the entire browser, 1 Click Login will be shut off. This option applies to closing a single tab, not the whole browser.
In this case, the Passpack It! button will remain active as long as you use it at least once every X hours (you choose how many hours). Be careful - this is not X hours from the time you last entered your Passpack account, it's X hours since the last time you pressed your Passpack It! button.
Suppose you set this option to 4 hours. On Monday 8am, you login to your Passpack account and activate 1 Click Login. Then you lock up our account - you have 4 hours to use your Passpack It! button before it deactivates. Great. Let's say you use it at 11am. You now have another 4 hours (until 3pm) to use it before it deactivates.
Now it's lunchtime (hooray!). You should turn off 1 Click Login at this point. If you forget to do so AND you do not close your browser, it'll remain active for the entire time you are gone. Anyone could walk up to your computer and start logging into websites with your credentials. Please be careful when activating this option.
A note to people with nosy significant others or family members. You too, should be weary of activating this option.
Please understand the potential Pros & Cons to this approach before you use it. Be responsible.
We generally reply within a few working days (will vary during high volume and holidays).

By 1ST LT. CUTHBERT CHRISTOPHER, 110th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, Georgia Army National Guard,Tifton, Ga. July 30, 2012
Once the missions began, Smith was gone for days at a time. When he returned, he usually had some unused ammo. Unbeknownst to the chain of command -- and me -- Smith was storing his unexpended ammo in a CONEX in the motor pool.
One day, Smith decided to teach primary marksmanship instruction and weapon familiarization on an AT4 shoulder-launched munition in the motor pool near my office tent. For the training, he told the unit armorer to bring an AT4 used in a previous live-fire exercise.
My Soldiers and I weren't participating in the training; we were contending with malfunctioning generators. We were going back and forth between the office tent and the generators, trying to figure out why they kept tripping off. During our troubleshooting, we heard a loud boom. At first, I thought one of the generators had overloaded, but when I saw smoke rising on the other side of a nearby tent, I hit the dirt.
Suddenly, I saw Soldiers running from the training area screaming and yelling for help. One Soldier had blood all over his face. The unimaginable had happened; Smith had fired a live AT4 inside the motor pool! The round from the AT4 hit a jersey barricade, bounced off and then struck water buffalo before finally falling to the ground. Debris flew everywhere and there were a few minor injuries. Fortunately, due to the proximity of the discharge, the round wasn't activated and didn't cause as much damage as it could have.
Only a tent separated my Soldiers and me from the round. After the chaos cleared, I realized had Smith fired the AT4 at a different angle, it could've activated, hit tents or, even worse, killed someone. To this day, I still think "what if?"

Rumors have been flying around Washington D.C. that secret meetings have been taking place in the West Wing. President Obama, VP Joe Biden and a few select advisers, (Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright) have not been seen for almost 30 minutes.
Unconfirmed reports from unauthorized whistle blowers have confirmed that the President will address the American public tomorrow,Septober 32nd with the following announcement.
1. He plans on giving back the Louisiana Purchase to the French in exchange for unlimited supply of truffles and champagne.
2. He is in discussions with Vlad Putin to return Alaska to Russia in exchange for caviar for life for the West Wing.
3. He is currently in discussion with American Indian tribes for them to re-purchase Manhattan for $24 worth of chips at one of their casino's.
4.He plans on annexing Kenya as our 51st state. VP Biden is using his abacus to actually determine how many states we will be left with.
5. He plans on taking all guns away from everyone, in turn they will be issued bow and arrows and Tomahawks for self defense.
6. He plans on invading Canada, it will be used as a winter retreat for the First Family.
7. He will declare an official War on Christmas and a War on Religion.
Our intrepid reporter will be meeting Smoking Ass (formally know as Deep Throat) to get more unsubstantiated rumors to drive the right wing ideologues crazy.
Concerned citizens, we must act before our country is taken back from the socialist President.

Miss the game? Here is the full video from last night's victory over Colgate. Kris Dunn and Sidiki Johnson made their Friar debuts.

Miss the game? Here is the full video from last night's victory over Colgate. Kris Dunn and Sidiki Johnson made their Friar debuts.
Via FriarTV
The Providence Friars moved to 8-2 on the year after crushing Colgate 79-45. Kris Dunn had quite the first impression, setting a Friar record for assists in a debut with 13 in 27 minutes of play. Bryce Cotton scored 21 points to lead everyone as usual, and Josh Fortune had some hot shooting to finish with 17 points. LaDontae Henton had 10 rebounds.
Ed Cooley spoke to the media following the game joined by Kris Dunn. You can listen below.
The near two week semester break was much needed time off for Ed Cooley's Fightin' Friars. However, Friartown has been itching for some basketball, especially basketball that involves the much anticipated PC debuts of Kris Dunn and Sidiki Johnson. At least there were some things that kept us busy during this whole time, like you know, the BIG EAST imploding and PC actually being involved in some positive conference realignment news for the first time ever. Now that we know what the Catholic 7 generally want to do, all we can do is sit back and wait to see how everything unfolds over the next year. What we don't have to wait for? Ed Cooley's basketball team continuing to take full shape. Against Colgate tonight, the Friars will ease into their newfound depth situation as they play their first of three games before grueling BIG EAST play starts.
Game Time: 7:00 PM
Opponent: Colgate (3-7)

HK firm claims iTunes patent
Page Tools
A Hong Kong firm is seeking a share of earnings from computer giant Apple, claiming its patented technology is being used in the successful iTunes music download service, the company's website says.
Apple marketing manager in Hong Kong, June Lau, confirmed on Thursday that local tech firm Pat-rights had contacted the Californian computer firm regarding the claims. Lau would make no further comment.
An entry on the Pat-rights website says that if Apple does not pay 12 percent of gross iTunes earnings by March 21 it will sue.
According to US Patent Office records, Keung Tse-ho - whom the website claims is Pat-rights' founder - was awarded a patent in December 2003 for a design that allowed the "protection of software against unauthorised use".
The design was also lodged with Australian patent authorities.
Pat-rights claims the technology is used by Apple to allow subscribers to log onto the web-based iTunes.
Pat-rights did not respond to efforts to contact it.
Launched in the US in the summer of 2003 and in Europe a year later, iTunes is the world's largest legal music download site, claiming 70 percent of the market with some 300 million songs sold.

I have had 2 consults with a cosmetic surgeon, but recently found that I will need a hysterectomy.
Is there a simple way to find a doctor who will do both a hysterectomy on a healthy (fibroid only) woman with abdominoplasty?
Do the Drs have to work together? I am unclear which way to pursue or how to go about it.

Carla Gugino Joins San Andreas
She's reuniting with Dwayne Johnson
The last time Carla Gugino and Dwayne Johnson teamed up on screen, we got the updated Race To Witch Mountain, a decent Disney family adventure. They'll be hoping to repeat the trick with San Andreas, as Gugino is now joining Johnson in the earthquake thriller.
From the sounds of things they won't be quite as simpatico, character-wise, at least to begin with, since Gugino is set to play Johnson's ex-wife. He's a special ops fire fighter, who is figuring out his life in Los Angeles when a huge quake hits, devastating chunks of California. With a treacherous journey ahead, Johnson and Gugino must reach their daughter (Alexandra Daddario) in San Francisco. Will it bring them closer together along the way? The smart money says yes.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island director Brad Peyton is set to direct the film in Australia this summer, working from a script that was most recently polished by Conjuring duo Chad and Carey Hayes. All being well, the film should be in cinemas next June. Wonder if Warners/New Line will premiere the film in an all-D-Box screen, and then wonder why the floor is covered in popcorn afterwards…

Q:I have 5/16 refertigerator pipe. Can this be used for water despenser? (Is it safe) ?
1 answer
A:Hi Lomesh! This #785-306 is not listed as safe for water dispensing for drinking. Regrettably, we do not offer them online. I recommend checking with your local store for availability.
Q:This picture is misleading it shows three in a pack when , In fact, there are only two in the pack. Therefore I needed a different quantity and when I ordered and got to the store it was wrong. The sales clerk was very rude to me when I explained to him that the picture showed three in a pack and he said no that it did not. I got very upset and proceeded to tell him it does show three. So this needs to be changed because it is very misleading and causeslots of problems especially if you need an odd number.

Adult kids living at home on the rise across the board
Whether in their 20s or 30s, black or white, in the West or Northeast, adult kids find there's no place like home when their finances are in a tailspin or their relationships in shambles.
Sponsored Links
The number of young adults ages 20 to 34 who lived with their parents jumped from 17% in 1980 to 24% in 2007-09 — the Great Recession— according to a detailed analysis out today.
The rise was sharpest among those under 25 — a new high of 43% vs. 32% in 1980 — but it increased largely across the board. Even among 30- to 34-year-olds, nearly one in 10 lived with parents.
"This 'Great Recession' has had tremendous effects that previous smaller recessions did not," says Zhenchao Qian, a sociology professor at Ohio State University and the author of the report for the US2010 Project, which studies trends in American society. "The surprise mostly is that it's increasing for every group."
The only segment not affected: young adults with graduate degrees. The share living with parents has stayed at 8% since 1980.
The number of kids never moving out or coming back after college or divorce had declined in the 1990s but increased faster during the last recession, which hit young adults the hardest. Unemployment among young workers has hovered above 12%.
Financial insecurity, coupled with massive student loan debt, has exacerbated another trend that might encourage some to live with their parents: delaying marriage and postponing having children.
Many also return when marriages end. Among 30- to 34-year-olds who live with their parents, 20% are divorced.

The biggest impact has been on lower-income groups and the less educated. In 1980, 18% of young adults living with parents had a high school education. In 2007-09, it had jumped to 29%.
"Sometimes young people live at home for practical reasons," says Sally Koslow, author of Slouching Toward Adulthood: Observations From the Not-So-Empty Nest. "Sometimes it's for the lifestyle. They don't have to pay and have access to a full refrigerator."
Qian's research found:
•Metropolitan areas with a higher share of residents who are low-income, unmarried or young minorities have high rates of adult children at home. The Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, Conn., region had the highest share of the 100 largest metros, at 34%.
"This is a case of families adapting to difficult circumstances," says Paul Taylor, director of the Pew Research Center's Social & Demographic Trends project. "Family is the ultimate social safety net."
High-cost areas such as New York (30%) and Los Angeles (28%), where doubling up can save money, also rank high on the list.
•Men are much more likely to live with parents than women, partly because they marry later.
"It's not the only reason," Qian says. "Compared with daughters, sons have fewer domestic responsibilities — such as cleaning and cooking — when they live home with parents."
•Non-Hispanic whites had the lowest percentage living with parents. Asians had the biggest jump (from 17% in 1980 to 26% in 2007-09). Qian attributes that to later marriages among Asians, cultural traditions and a greater likelihood to live in expensive regions.
Hispanics' rates were lower (24%), largely because many parents of immigrants do not live in the USA. Blacks (27%) and Native Americans (30%) had the highest.
Koslow says it has become far more socially acceptable for adult children to live at home for long periods of time.
She was recently asked to write a piece for Cosmopolitan: tips for women who date men who still live at home.
"I don't think young people feel any embarrassment or stigma," Koslow says.
