I have a suggestion but, I have a feeling it won't be a popular one.
Believe me I understand where you are coming from. I work 8-9 hours a day too, but, my commute to and from work is 1.5 hours (thanks in part to living in L.A.) so now I'm out of the house 12 hours of the day. I also go to school part time and have homework. To top it all off I do live on my own so household chores and cooking are something I have to do for myself. I still manage to work on cosplay and squeeze in anime time...so clearly for me it wasn't about not having the time but, needing to manage my priorities.
If you truly want to work off the extra fluff and become more fit, you'll have to take a good hard look at the way you manage your time while you are not at work and see where you can squeeze in 30 minutes. For me I was unwilling to cut in cosplay time but, anime time 3 times a week could be held off. Instead of watching my latest anime right before going to bed, I turned in an extra 30 minutes early and got up 30 minutes early to get my workout in then.
I'll be honest the first two weeks suck but, then it just becomes part of your routine. It's helped me shed some unwanted pounds and it's also given me an energy boost in my day. The hype is true, it's gets me up and going, gets the blood racing and makes me feel ready for the day. It's not for everyone. My boyfriend prefers to work out in the late afternoon or evening. He just doesn't have the mental fortitude to do it in the morning. *shrug* Different strokes for different folks. The real test is find that uninterrupted 30 minutes in your day, telling yourself that you are worth it, and then just gritting your teeth and just do it.
Trust me, you'll never regret a workout.

UK Hoops Signee Harper Named to Naismith Watch List
Dec. 14, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky women's basketball signee Linnae (pronounced La-NAY) Harper is one of six players named to the 2012-13 Naismith Girl's High School Player of the Year Early Season Watch List, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Friday.
The list was compiled by basketball journalists from around the country, who form the Naismith Awards national voting academy. The selections were based on player performances last season and expectation for the 2012-13 campaign. The list features the top girls high school basketball players from around the nation expected to make a run for the Naismith Trophy in 2013. The winner will ultimately be recognized at the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Naismith Awards Banquet on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 in Atlanta, Ga.
Harper is a 5-foot-8 guard from Chicago and a former teammate of current Wildcat Janee Thompson at Whitney Young High School. She is the nation's No. 5 prospect and No. 2 guard according to ESPN.com. She is the highest-ranked recruit in Kentucky women's basketball history. Harper was named the Tribune All-State first team last spring after averaging 18.7 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals for Class 4A champion Young (34-0).
The Naismith Award has become the most prestigious award in all of college basketball, recognizing the Men's and Women's College Basketball Player of the Year, Men's and Women's College Basketball Coach of the Year, as well as awards for outstanding achievement in high school basketball, officiating, and contribution to the game.
For more information, visit www.naismithawards.com.
Harper leads a talented recruiting class for head coach Matthew Mitchell next season, which includes Makayla Epps (Lebanon, Ky./Marion County HS) and Kyvin Goodin-Rogers (Lebanon, Ky./Marion County HS). Kentucky's recruiting class ranks in the top 10 by all the major recruiting services, including No. 5 by the All-Star Girls Report, No. 8 by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report and No. 10 by Blue Star Basketball.

*Heat advisory noon until 8 p.m. for D.C. and generally I-95 and east*
9:00 a.m. update: A patch of clouds has moved over the area so far this morning. They should tend to clear heading through the midday.
Today's Daily Digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the days weather, on a scale of 1 to 10.
Express Forecast
Today: Partly cloudy. Late-day showers and storms. Highs: 92-97.
Tonight: Evening showers or storms possible, then partly cloudy. Lows: Near 70 to mid-70s.
Tomorrow: Partly cloudy. Showers and storms possible. Highs: Upper 80s to low 90s.
Temperature Map
Despite only reaching a temperature of 97 so far in this streak of heat, our current run of five days straight 95+ occurs in only about 15 percent of D.C. summers. Add in the record 4 calendar days of lows 80 or higher (now tied for 2011 for the most in a row), and it's no heat/humidity wave to snicker at. We may not see a whole lot of big relief ahead, but the 80+ temperature streak should come to a conclusion sooner rather than later.
Today (Saturday): It's another hot one, with partly cloudy skies in the morning generally turning cloudier as the day wears on. A front pushing into the region should help focus more storm activity (60% chance) than the recent days featuring isolated pop ups.
It may not be uniform coverage, but any storm could contain heavy rain, lots of lightning, and perhaps isolated damaging winds. Highs reach the low-and-mid 90s most spots, but southwest winds up to 15 mph, with higher gusts, may help this one overachieve on warmth. Confidence: Medium
Tonight: Scattered showers and thunderstorms remain likely into the evening, but the threat wanes as we lose the heating of the sun. Overnight, skies are partly cloudy. We might see a little relief in overnight lows, yet nothing fantastic. Plan on readings near 70 in the 'cold' spots to the mid-or-upper 70s downtown. Confidence: Medium-High
For related traffic news, check out Dr. Gridlock. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend…
Tomorrow (Sunday): The front gets hung up in the area, so we don't benefit too much on the heat and humidity end, and storms remain a decent bet during the afternoon into evening. It is "cooler," which is all relative at this time of year, but I'll take highs in the upper 80s to low 90s instead of mid-90s! Winds are light and variable. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Showers or storms could still be around in the evening, but as usual they want to head to bed like the rest of us as it gets late. Partly cloudy skies and light winds promote a little cooling, with lows in the near 70 to mid-70s range. Confidence: Medium-High
On Monday, the front is mostly washed out though the upper-level jet stream remains somewhat close by. This allows the atmosphere to remain ready for some showers and storms (50% chance) of the late-day variety. Before that, it's partly cloudy, with highs focused around 90, give or take a few.
Confidence: Medium
By Tuesday, we probably remember we're stuck in a rut called July. Partly cloudy skies may again give way to some showers and storms during the day. Highs could actually be a tad higher once again, with near 90 to the low 90s favored overall. Confidence: Medium

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello Xpensiveobcesions, Look for a dirty throttle plate. Remove the snorkel that goes from the air filter box to the throttlebody. Manually open the throttle plate. Dirt builds up on the back side of the plate and around the bore where it sits in. When dirt builds up, it closes off the air gap that allows air to flow past. When this happens, idle becomes too low and stalling insues. Use carburetor or throttlebody cleaner and a brass brush to clean the dirt, then wipe things clean with a rag. See if that helps at all. Let me know.
Your JA Expert,
Hello Ivan,
I did so,I pulled the intake plenum the MAF and the throttlebody off to insure a good clean. While those were off I also cleaned what I could from the intake manifold just inside a little bit. Cleaned the intire air intake system with carb cleaner and even cleaned the little idle hole on the throttle plate. As of right now i'm still having issues with it, drove it around for about 20 miles and its still happening, if that was it my guess is that it would be an instant fix. So the problem still exists.
I do agree, if that was it, it would have been better right off the bat, so now we have to get deeper. The next thing we need to verify is what is the fuel pressure when you start the car the first time. That car should have a test port on the fuel rail, so you will need a fuel pressure guage. Here is your spec.
Let's see where that leads us and we'll move forward from there.
One other thing, I haven't seen it on your car, but it's worth checking none the less. Locate your fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. Disconnect the vacuum line from it and see if there is fuel present in the vacuum line. If there is, that's the problem and excess fuel is entering the engine. You may have to check several times and look with the car running and just after shutting it off.
Hey Ivan,
Ok so I tested the fuel pressure and it tested between 45 and 46 psi. Also I checked a couple vacuum lines from the rail to the throttlebody (only ones I could find) and both on both sides of the tube were dry/no fuel present. What would be next?
Ok, the next thing is a little harder to test since you don't have a scan tool. On the throttlebody, you have an Idle Air Control motor. It is located as #5 in this diagram.
I am attaching a description of what this device does. It has a tapered pintle that closes of an air passage then opens up the cap to regulate a specific idle speed. If that pintle is getting stuck into the seat or the motor is getting stuck not allowing it to retract, it could be causing your issue. Again with out a scan tool, it's impossible to operate. You can remove the 2 bolts and remove it. The pintle and seat get dirty like the throttlebody, so clean them and let's see what happens. Do not push the IAC in, or you'll have to drive it to allow it to move back into it's proper position.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve is located in the throttle body of both the Throttle Bowl Injection (TBI) and the multi-port fuel injection (MFI) Systems. The IAC valve consists of a movable pintle, driven by a gear attached to an electric motor called a stepper motor. The IAC valve motor is a 2-phase bi-polar permanent magnet stepper motor that is capable of highly accurate rotation, or movement, every time the polarity of a winding is changed. This change in polarity can be seen when observing a test lamp connected between ground or B+ and an IAC valve circuit while the PCM is attempting to change engine RPM. The test lamp will flash ON or OFF each time the polarity is changed. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) does not use a physical sensor in order to determine the IAC pintle position, but uses a predicted number of counts. One count represents one change in the polarity, which equals one step of the stepper motor. The PCM counts the steps it has commanded in order to determine the IAC pintle position. The PCM uses the IAC valve in order to control the engine idle speed. The PCM does this by changing the pintle position in the idle air passage of the throttle body. This procedure varies the air flow around the throttle plate when the throttle is closed. In order to determine the desired position of the IAC pintle at idle or during deceleration, the PCM refers to the following inputs:
When the ignition key is turned OFF after an ignition cycle, the PCM will first seat the IAC pintle in the air bypass bore and then retract the pintle a predetermined number of counts in order to allow the proper amount of air to bypass the throttle plate for engine start-up. This procedure is known as an IAC reset.
Also here is a picture of the fuel pressure regulator. The vacuum line that attaches to this unit is the one you need to check. I think your engine has a plastic cover on it. You most likely have to remove that plastic cover to see this item.

Focus has sent word that Eugen Systems' Wargame: European Escalation has been delayed. The upcoming real-time strategy title will now be shipping out for the PC in the first quarter of 2012. The R.U.S.E. and Act of War developer will be using the additional time to give the game a bit more polish.
Focus also included five new shots for your viewing pleasure.
Set in the rarely explored period of 1975-1985, Wargame: European Escalation pits NATO (USA and Western Europe) against the Warsaw Pact (Soviet and Eastern European countries) in battles that explore "what could have been." The specter of nuclear warfare loomed large over the real Cold War, but this catastrophic outcome was the ultimate last resort as everyone knew that the first one to start nuclear hostilities would end up wiped out just the same. Large, armored offensives through Europe would certainly have been the core of this hypothetical war; and this is what the game's explosive campaign takes you through!

Tax Power™ U.S. Tax & Business Advisory Services and Solutions
Andy Powers-A Professional who cares..About YOU!
Correlation between U.S. Income Tax and Government Spending and National Debt
Although the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was passed by Congress on July 12, 1909, it took 1,302 days before it was ratified on February 3, 1913. The rational for legislating a tax on income was that it was clear that at the time that the nation's solvency was in jeopardy, and that an income tax was necessary to maintain a balanced budget and avoid the United States from being a debtor nation, thus preserving our sovereignty.
However, although our national spending, as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), remained relatively stable for some time (even after we repaid monies we borrowed to fund our support of World War I, following World War II our national mentality changed and rather than managing a surplus budget, it became the "norm" to spend more on government sponsored programs paid for through the issuance of debt instruments so long the increased income taxes imposed on U.S. persons (both individuals and business) was sufficient to manage that debt.
Over the past forty years, however, our elected representatives and officials were like "kids in a candy store" and began to practice what some believe to be fiscal irresponsibility. Spending increased dramatically and so did our debt level. Some of the debt was magically hidden through the use of "temporary" fund transfers from what was intended to be special purpose funds (which can only be utilized for the specific purpose for which the fund was created) such as Social Security. Regardless that much attention was given to the fact that statistically the Social Security fund would not be sufficient to meet the demands of future retirees, our fiscal managers (those elected officials and representatives who we elected to serve and protect us) continued to borrow and spend until the national debt level, which had increased to $10 Trillion dollars by the turn of the 21st century, jumped dramatically to nearly $17 Trillion only 13 years later by the year 2013.
Repeatedly over the past several years Congress and the President have haggled over the fact that we are heading for a fiscal cliff and without increasing the debt ceiling the government would shut down. Spending had gotten out of control and we were borrowing "from Peter to pay Paul".
There was once a joke that showed an income tax return, printed back in the 1950s) that said "How much did you make? Send it in". Now if that were the new tax, and everyone paid everything they earned in taxes, there still would not be enough to pay our national debt. And even if we did, we-the people would have to borrow money to pay our state and local tax liability.
As Pogo said, "We have faced the enemy, and the enemy is us". We, the people to whom these elected sovereignty have sworn to serve and protect, have taken us to the fringe of fiscal disaster through reckless and irresponsible spending and debt.
Now I would like to share with you something said by a member of Senator Ron
Paul's forum. It reads "The
preamble to the bill of rights states that "In order to prevent the abuse and
misconstruction of power, further restrictive clauses must be added".
I want you to write to your Congressional Representative and to the President of the United States and remind them of their responsibilities, and that we-the people have elected them to office to serve and protect the common welfare of the people of the United States, and that it is we-the people who can decide to fire them come the next election.

A new non-invasive screening test is proposed that is claimed to be able to identify patients with impaired glucose tolerance based on a battery of questions related to health behaviors. The new test is given to 75 patients. Based on each patient's responses to the questions they are classified as positive or negative for impaired glucose tolerance. Each patient also submits a blood sample and their glucose tolerance status is determined. The results are tabulated below.Screening TestImpaired Glucose ToleranceNot ImpairedPositive1713Negative837a) What is the sensitivity of the screening test?b) What is the false positive fraction of the screening test?6.

Epson Home Cinema 5010 Home Theater Projector Review
Below, we discuss the Epson Home Cinema 5010 projector's brightness in its best and brightest modes, with images showing relative brightness of the modes. We also look at sharpness, image and audible noise levels
Epson Home Cinema 5010 Brightness
Mike measured the Home Cinema 5010, "right out of the box", with default settings. This is a pre-production projector – as a matter of course, we are used to pre-production projectors sometimes measuring a good bit less than full production, but the difference is rarely more than 10%. Note that we set the zoom lens at the middle point, so we do not get as many lumens as a manufactuer would, as they all measure at wide angle, which is almost always brighter than mid-point or zooming all the way out.
Our goal is more focused on good looking lumens, thus our "quick-cal" which is just tweaking the brightest mode for better color, without giving up too many lumens.
Home Cinema 5010 Lumen Output and Color Temp at 100 IRE:
|Lumen Output and Color Temp
|1819 @ 7111
|Living Room
|1375 @ 7983
|635 @ 6969, 455 in Eco lamp mode (default)
|635 @ 6924, 455 in Eco lamp mode (default)
Post Calibration: Best Mode = Cinema - or Natural
Mike Calibrated Cinema mode. Post calibration: 630 lumens
Epson later suggested that for a better color gamut we should try Natural preset mode. More on that below. Both modes measure the same out of the box, so I think we can presume that Natural will measure about the same calibrated as Cinema does.
Post Calibration: Brightest Mode = Dynamic 1660 lumens
This isn't a D65 (6500K) calibration, rather an attempt to make the Home Cinema 5010 projector's Dynamic mode a little more balanced in color, than it starts with. Most dynamic type modes, greens and blues tend to be over the top. Our goal is to just make a dynamic mode more natural, but with the paramater of not giving up too much brightness.
Effect of zoom on lumen output (Dynamic mode):
In all the talk above about lumens, remember that how you place your projector has a lot of impact on brightness. This Epson with its wide range zoom, loses brightness the further back you place it from your screen
Effect of zoom on lumen output (Dynamic mode):
|zoom on lumen output (Dynamic Mode)
|Zoom out
|Zoom in
Put that projector as close to the screen as you can, and you've got over 2000 lumens to work with, but lose just over 10% by moving back to the mid-range of the zoom, and for those of you putting the projector on a shelf at the far end of the range, you get about 30 percent less.
This is why we do all our measurements except this one, with the projector at mid-zoom. I normally have most projectors set up near their mid-points when I'm watching them. If you are at the short end of the range, you've got a few more lumens – a little extra juice. If you are way back, my declarations of bright enough, are a touch optimistic. Have fun with all that.

NASA looks at plan to blot out Sun
THE idea seems like something out of a Superman comic: a machine or missile shoots tonnes of particles into the atmosphere that would block the Sun's rays, cool down the overheated Earth, and reverse global warming.
But at the weekend scientists gathered in a closed session organised by NASA and Stanford University to discuss researching such a strategy. The idea is called geo-engineering: using technology to tinker with the Earth's delicate climate balance.
Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University, said his modelling showed the idea worked. "We found that if you blocked 20 per cent of the sunlight over the Arctic Ocean it would be enough to restore sea ice," he said.

On Monday, May 16, 2016, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its highly anticipated opinion in Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, a case that examined the question of whether a plaintiff who sued for a technical violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act could maintain Article III standing for a class action without claiming any real-world injury. The case before the Court involved a putative class action brought against petitioner Spokeo, Inc., a company that generates profiles about people based on information obtained though computerized searches. Respondent Thomas Robins was one of the people with a profile on Spokeo's website. According to Robins, the information on that profile was inaccurate. Robins filed a class-action complaint against Spokeo in federal court, alleging violations of the FCRA, which requires consumer reporting agencies to "follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of" consumer reports. The Ninth Circuit held that by alleging the violation of a statutory right Robins had satisfied the injury-in-fact requirement of Article III standing.

FTC Report: "Big Data Can Create Opportunities or Shut People Out"
On Wednesday, January 5, the FTC released a report titled "Big Data: A Tool for Inclusion or Exclusion?" The Report addresses the effects of the growing use of big data analytics on low-income and underserved populations, and the FTC's role in monitoring and regulating the impacts of this commercial use of big data. There are two high-level takeaways from the Report: First, big data is a powerful tool that can be used to include or to exclude. Used responsibly, it can be a key to unlocking opportunities for underprivileged and underserved classes; but, when used with disregard for its effects, big data can serve to shut the underprivileged and underserved out of those same opportunities. Second, the FTC will be the cop on the beat. The Report's emphasis on the tools at the FTC's disposal for regulating the use of big data analytics, signals that the FTC intends to make use of its enforcement powers where it can.
Details on FTC Recommendation of Legislation to Address Practices of Information Brokers
In the report issued by the FTC yesterday, the FTC calls on Congress to consider enacting targeted legislation to provide greater transparency for, and control over, the practices of information brokers and to allow consumers to access their data maintained by information brokers. The FTC notes that Congress could model any such legislation on a bill that the House passed during the 111th Congress, as well as similar bills introduced in the 112th Congress. These bills included some data accuracy and access provisions that were targeted specifically to information brokers. The bills are detailed in this blog entry.
FTC Red Flags Rule Enforcement Delayed Again (and New Legal Challenge)
FTC Chairman Leibowitz: "Congress needs to fix the unintended consequences of the legislation establishing the Red Flags Rule – and to fix the problem quickly."
Recently Introduced Federal Legislation May Expand Regulation of Data Brokers
The Personal Data Privacy and Security Act ("PDPSA"), recently reintroduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee proposes comprehensive federal regulation of data broker services. While enactment of the PDPSA remains uncertain, the draft legislation may presage future legislative and regulatory trends. Comprehensive Federal Regulation of "Data Brokers" Title II […]

March elections don't exactly send voters rushing to their local polling places, do they? After looking at Tuesday's turnout in the few local elections, you have to wonder whether more elections should by conducted by mail only, as Chino Hills' was, to save money.
It doesn't come easy for us to suggest such a thing. Some members of our editorial board quite enjoy going to the local polling place on Election Day. By the nature of precincts, voting is a neighborhood event where you're likely to run into people you know and haven't seen for a while. The poll workers are generally pleasant, and there's a "we're all in this together" feel to exercising one of the most basic American rights - a right that many of the world's people do not enjoy - alongside others from your own community.
Alas, that perhaps romanticized view of voting no longer holds sway today with many people - a large majority even of registered voters, obviously - who see it as just too much bother, a drain on their time that they'd rather spend on one of their daily activities.
Look at the voter turnouts in Tuesday's elections around here: Claremont's regular City Council election drew 17.3 percent unofficially, pretty low for a town that prides itself on its citizens' civic involvement. Rialto held a special election for voters to decide whether they wanted to keep paying an 8 percent utility tax that was about to expire, but only 10.6 percent of registered voters availed themselves of the opportunity. To the west, San Dimas had a turnout of 12.3 percent for a regular election. The best turnout was in Chino Hills, where 18.9 percent of registered voters filled a vacant City Council seat in a special mail-only election.
Of course, there were extenuating circumstances affecting those turnout numbers. Chino Hills voters chose Ray Marquez to succeed a council member who had resigned. Battles for open seats generally draw more candidates and interest than elections where all incumbents are seeking re-election.
The latter was the case in Claremont, where well-regarded incumbents Corey Calaycay and Larry Schroeder had only token opposition in a four-time candidate (whose 11 percent of the vote marked his best showing yet).
San Dimas also had little competition to draw in voters; longtime Mayor Curt Morris was unopposed and only a write-in candidate opposed two incumbent councilmen. Apparently the successful Measure A, to increase San Dimas' tax on hotel stays, didn't excite voters much either.
Rialto's decision to extend a utility tax that provides a fourth of the city's revenue would seem to be a pretty big deal, but only 4,172 out of 39,535 registered voters bothered to take part.
Chino Hills decided to make its special election mail-only because it would cost about $135,000 instead of closer to $200,000. With the low turnouts we've just seen, there's an argument to be made that all cities holding elections outside June or November of even years could go mail only - despite our own preference to vote in person.

Tangerang, Indonesia (AFP) April 1, 2013
Indonesian authorities have seized nearly 700 endangered pig-nosed turtles at the main airport serving the capital Jakarta, an official said Monday.
The turtles, which were less than a month old, had been transported from the easternmost province of Papua to Soekarno-Hatta airport on a local carrier but their final destination was unknown, said quarantine official Teguh Samudro.
"We don't know where they were being sent as the address on the package does not exist," the official said. The turtles would be released back into their native habitat in Papua soon, he added.
The 687 pig-nosed turtles, a species distinguishable by its fleshy snout-like nose, arrived at the airport on March 15 but officials did not know who had sent them.
Under Indonesian law, the offence carries a maximum three-year jail term and a fine of 150 million rupiah ($15,406).
Pig-nosed turtles are listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, which imposes international trade restrictions to protect species from over-exploitation.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee discussion → Thread
Hi All,
You might like to hear that BBC Radio 4 is serialising a Bumblebee Book next week.
Monday - Friday.
The book is "A Sting in the Tale" by Dave Goulson, who is the Professor who initiated BBCT.
I've managed to get myself a hard-copy of the book and have been thoroughly enjoying it !
It is a mix of autobiography (starting with childhood, when he was a Natural History mad boy) and goes right up to the decision to form BBCT and further.
Much of the book explains how Bumblebee Research is carried out and the people involved.
I've found it both fascinating; and also very amusing in parts.
The 15 minute programmes go out on BBC R4 at 9:45 am, repeated at 00:30 (half past midnight) from Monday to Friday.
I presume we will also be able to back-listen to them via the BBC website at more convenient hours !
Hi All,
I managed to hear all these broadcasts and found them very interesting.
I already had the book and have now managed to read it all.
As far as I could tell, the programmes were using Dave Goulson's words verbatim, but were using sentences "stitched together" from many different places in the book so they told a coherent story but condensed and focussed on that programme's theme.
Has anyone else heard the broadcasts ?
And have any comments ?
I've found the book very readable and interesting and funny in parts.
It is certainly a good introduction to bumblebee know-how and some of the early days of BBCT itself.
Yours Clive

The 'Mechanical Animals' singer will voice Shadow on the ABC fantasy drama series, while the 'Dawson's Creek' alum will reprise his role as Robin's ex-boyfriend Simon on CBS' 'How I Met Your Mother'.
Marilyn Manson books a trip to the fantasy land of "Once Upon a Time". The four-time Grammy Award-nominated rocker will lend his voice to Shadow, "a character whose voice will give life to the very essence of Neverland."
Series creators and executive producers Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz tell Rolling Stone, "We've always been enormous fans of Marilyn Manson. We wanted to cast someone with the vocal ability to make our skin crawl."
Manson will join the cast beginning in November. In the meantime, fans can look forward to a new romance that sparks between [SPOILER ALERT!] Emma and Captain Hook. Entertainment Weekly has obtained sneak peeks to the couple's intimate moment, including when they kiss.
"I kind of knew at some point it was coming," Jennifer Morrison says of the smooch, which will be seen in an upcoming October 27 episode. "I knew from all the way back, when they brought both Michael Raymond-James and Colin O'Donoghue on, that it was always the intention to create some sort of love triangle with the two of them and Emma...having a very legitimate pull between those two men."
O'Donoghue, who portrays Hook, adds, "I think there was always something there between the characters. So it's definitely something that was in the background, and I'm sure it's something some of the fans have wanted to see since my first episode."
Another casting scoop comes from "How I Met Your Mother", which has just tapped James Van Der Beek to return to episode 12 of its final season. The former "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" star will reprise his role as Robin's first boyfriend Simon in the episode titled "Bedtime Stories".
He has appeared in several episodes that flashed back to Robin's teen days, during which she was a singing idol known as Robin Sparkles. Further details of the episode are not available just yet.

Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates (2007)
There's no denying that the title Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, Kenny Chesney's tenth studio album, bears an undercurrent of autobiography, as if ... Show synopsis There's no denying that the title Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, Kenny Chesney's tenth studio album, bears an undercurrent of autobiography, as if he's telling us exactly what he's all about. Given this, it would seem logical that this album would be built upon original songs -- especially since its title echoes Be as You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair), his intimate 2005 album of originals -- but Just Who I Am has not one original song, when even its 2005 predecessor, The Road and the Radio, had a pair, including the very good "Beer in Mexico." Just Who I Am might not come from Chesney's pen, but these songs nevertheless have the appearance of being autobiographical, as they dwell upon teenage nostalgia, bittersweet memories, and the importance of family because life speeds by faster than you'd think. All of this gives the impression that Chesney is living a comfortable, familiar middle-aged existence, surrounded by his wife and kids, appreciating what he's got but looking back on his life with a fond eye. This isn't quite true -- Chesney is leaving his thirties without a wife and kids, which makes the number of songs celebrating close family feel a little odd (even if the song "Wife and Kids" finds Kenny pining for this close-knit family), since these are not songs about who Chesney is; they're about who is audience is. This carries over to his breezy, steel-drum island songs -- particularly the George Strait duet "Shiftwork," a mellow workingman's anthem where George and Kenny playfully soften the F in the title, making for a genuinely funny highlight -- right down to the arena-filling ballads, such as "Dancin' for the Groceries," an instant camp classic where Kenny looks sympathetically at a single mom stripping to support her kids (a kindness undercut by hammy, clumsy lyrics, epitomized by "in sequins and laces/she's dancing for braces"). These mawkish sentiments are heavy-handed, as are the arrangements in the power ballads, which are just slightly too clean and commercial, produced with an eye on the middle of the road. This measured, polished production does mean that the ballads, of which there are just a bit too many, do blend together unless they tend to go a little over the top, whether it's the seize-the-day sentiment of "Don't Blink" or that stripper-mom salute. Fortunately, then, Chesney does spend some time creating party songs for the islands, songs that may be just as calculated as the power ballads but at least are livelier, which make them more immediate and more lasting than the ballads, whether it's the cheerful morning-after memories of "Got a Little Crazy," a ridiculous Joe Walsh-driven version of Dwight Yoakam's rocker "Wild Ride," or "Shiftwork." That's not a whole lot of good times for an 11-track album, but when paired with the couple of light, midtempo cuts that have a little more snap -- such as the opener, "Never Wanted Nothing More" -- it does mean that Just Who I Am just manages from sinking into adult contemporary murk, even if it's hard to shake the feeling that Chesney is spending too much time acting how his audience expects him to be instead of just being who he is. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
A temperature sensitivity warrants to look for thyroid dysfunctions. You can speak to your GP to order for thyroid function tests (T3, T4, TSH). Read the symptoms of hypothyroidism (under activity of thyroids);
Another possibility for these symptoms is some low grade infection. Again a blood work up, like blood counts ESR, urine examination, etc would be needed to establish that.
Hope this helps. Your follow up questions are welcome.

All men and boys should at least try sex with other males. Most bi-sexuals and gay-curious are really leaning to regular male/male sex. It does't have to replace hetro, but it sure is a great variation. TRY IT GUYS with a friend or maybe a perfect stranger you feel attracted to.
