Okay, I'll get right to it. Avengers Vs. X-Men is a really good yarn. I have no idea if the next issues in the latest Marvel event will pan out as well as issue #1, but for right now, this is a very nicely put together tale. There is one nagging problem I have with it but, upon reflection, I'm not even sure is a true problem. With Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman and Matt Fraction behind the story and Bendis penning the actual script, it'd be easy to fall prey to too many cooks in the kitchen. Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 defies that curse by staying focused. This is all about the Phoenix, the most destructive force in the universe, and it's headed our way.
Bendis is smart in the strategy with issue 1. Unleash the action, build the tension and leave 'em wanting more. The opening scene is as visceral a comic book experience as I've had in a long time. A burst of energy soars through the air, taking the wing off a plane and cutting the top off the Chrysler Building. The way Bendis has the Avengers deal with the problem is nut-kicking awesome. Thor using the hammer to create enough wind to land a crashing plane? Awesome. Spider-Man catching survivors plummeting from the Chrysler Building? Awesome. Iron Man disintegrating the wing before it destroys a building? Awesome. By the time it's revealed that the energy source was actually Nova, you will be hooked.
Cue Utopia, where Cyclops is training Hope Summers, the first mutant born after Scarlet Witch went wacky and stripped most mutants of their power. Cyclops has a single vision (forgive the pun) for Hope, one that has made him lose all compassion for Hope as a person. When the first blast of the Phoenix comes calling, Cyclops knows what's in store for Hope. This is where my problem comes in. I've always known Cyclops to be calculated, cold and logical. Watching him plan to try and train Hope to control the Phoenix doesn't jive with me. However, I don't read X-Men all the time, in fact, I haven't followed it religiously since the last Phoenix story. Perhaps my nagging issue with Cyclops is more a reaction to how he used to be than how he is.
After the first blast of Phoenix power, the Avengers register the energy and the team sets out to put Hope Summers in "protective custody". Bendis shines here on two fronts. The first is the meeting between Captain America and Wolverine. Bendis really brings out the tension with Wolverine. He knows how Cyclops will react to the Avengers interference and he knows the Avengers won't stop, which brings us to the second front where Bendis surprised me. The confrontation between Cyclops and Cap is handled beautifully. Both men have a point, both men are shown as determined but not psychotic. When Cyclops lashes out it makes sense, even if it is a little over the top. By the end of Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 the stage has been set for an event series that could make up for the horrific tragedy that was Fear Itself.
John Romita Jr. is on art duties, so clearly it's brilliant. I could go into the strong lines, the amazing way Romita captures the spirit of comic books in every single panel, or his ability to make the action leap off the page, but why? John Romita Jr. is now and will always be the man. His contribution to Avengers Vs. X-Men is obvious as soon as you open up the comic.
Well done gentlemen. Very well done.

Can someone please tell me why there are zero waves in most of the area in between matunuck area and weekepaug point/quonie beach? I'm talking about miles and miles of exposed beach..charlestown beach, quonie beach, east beach, east matunuck state beach(obviously the reef to the west breaks) ect. I've never seen anything remotely rideable at any of these beaches. Even during hurricane bill the sea was basically just surging right onto the sand. Is this area shadowed by block island? No swell direction seems to get in there though. I find this really strange. I'm not talking about closing out. I'm talking like long island sound flatness or breaking oddly right ON the sand at all tides. Why are there absolutely no sand bars on any of these beaches?

The first Art of Movement showcases total body wellness through the arts.
This half-day movement experience, geared to all ages, will be at the Verrado Village in Buckeye from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, with registration beginning at 7:30 a.m. This community event is a feast for the body and the senses — a place to relax, unwind, bend, dance, revel and contemplate. More than 20 classes will be offered including yoga, pilates, tai chi, belly dancing, ballroom dance, capoeira, ballet and more. Tickets may be purchased at the event and are $5 for adults and $2 for students. Children 10 and under are free.
The Art of Movement features a range of teachers, classes and styles that will inspire and challenge all practitioners, from the curious beginner to the longtime student. The event has gathered the Valley's top teachers and experts to teach a full schedule of classes from classic presenters such as master yogini Jenn Chiarelli and pilates instructor Hannah Gallagher to new faces like Joe Fulton and Leslie Carney.
"We are excited to bring the Art of Movement to Verrado," said festival organizer and Verrado resident Eva Shaw. "This is the first event of its kind in the West Valley that fuses artistic art forms and wellness principles. The event is a fun and interactive way to showcase how to get healthy through the arts."
A portion of the proceeds from the event benefits the programs of the West Valley Arts Council.
"The council has been a great partner on this event," Shaw said. "They do an incredible job of bringing the arts to the West Valley, and their arts education programs are amazing. Thousands of students are impacted each year through their efforts. We wanted to be a part of that."
The Art of Movement is presented by the Verrado Village Sport & Health Club, Verrado, the West Valley Arts Council, and is sponsored by the Southwest Institute for the Healing Arts, Amanda Manfredi Photography, Sandey Tenuto Photography and Sedona Palms.
Morning coffee will be provided by Ground Control Coffee and a light lunch will be catered by Old Pueblo Café & Pub. There will be a wide variety of vendors, main stage performances and a silent auction.
The Verrado Village is at 4239 N. Village St. in Buckeye, at the base of the White Tank Mountains.

Cell Phones
Ask a Cell Phones Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi and thanks for using JustAnswer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will gladly help you find the answers you need. Lets start with the virus. As of right now there are actually no "viruses" on the Android operating system. There is a couple "malware" apps that will track your location but you would have had to install an app from outside the Android Market for this to happen.I can say for sure you do not have a virus.
As far as not being able to get passed the pin/pattern security feature. If you know the google account login information for your phone (the account that was created or entered when you first setup the device) then we can get you back in without problems.
ok well i downloaded an antivirus software and a wallpaper and my phone has crashed
Ok, are you able to start the phone at all?
i put in my pin and it says the application samsung home has stopped unexpectendly
Ok. Remove the battery for two minutes. Then replace the battery and power the device back on.
This will clear the cache and will more than likley resolve the issue.
no same thing occured
Ok. Then the problem lies with the Samsung Home app that they have built on top of the Android system itself. The "kernel" has errors now and the only true way to resolve the issue is to run a factory reset.
ok how do i do that
Are you able to access the menu on your phone?
Ok. then we will have to go around it. Remove the battery and replace it but do not power the device on.
ok done
Ok. Now press and hold the Menu key and the Power button at the same time.
The phone will enter a restore state
yea it did
You will now choose "wipe data/factory reset". This will return your phone to its original state. After it restarts you can setup the phone using the same google account you are using now and your contacts will be restored as long as they were synced to google
This will resolve all software related issues that you were experiencing.
And a little hint for you. AVG and other "anti-virus" apps are not needed right now ;]There isnt a real threat of viruses unless you are installing apps from outside the Android Marketplace.
is it suppose to take a long time to restart
It can take up to 10 minutes sometimes.
If for some very rare reason yoru phone doesnt restart after 10 minutes, just remove the battery and restart the process.
its fixed thank you soooooooooooooo much
No problem ;]

Best U.S. Oil Stocks To Buy #4 — Pioneer Natural Resources
The Eagle Ford and Bakken aren't the only places helping produce mammoth amounts of oil and natural gas. The prolific Permian Basin — located in West Texas and New Mexico — is also quickly becoming a hotspot of activity.
And leading the way is Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD).
PXD holds more than 900,000 gross acres and more than 7,000 wells in the region. While most of those are conventional wells located in the West Spraberry field of the Permian, Pioneer has recently commenced a program of unconventional drilling in the shale field's Wolfcamp Basin. In total, PXD predicts that it has nearly 10 billion barrels of potential resources in the play. Current production is only about 93,000 barrels a day.
To tap that potential, PXD plans on spending 76% of its $3 billion in CAPEX spending for 2014 tackling unconventional wells in the Wolfcamp and Spraberry.
While PXD shares aren't exactly cheap — currently trading at P/E of almost 30 — the company is the leader when it comes to fracking the Permian. So, that premium is perfectly justified.

At a gathering of Indian professionals at the Hong Kong Jockey Club at the weekend, the news that Raghuram Rajan would be returning to the US when his term as head of the Indian central bank expires in September gave rise to dark speculation — and bets — about how far the rupee would sink. The reaction in Mumbai was equally gloomy.
In the event, the rupee barely blinked when trading began on Monday. But the real damage is below the surface. By eschewing the easy short-term fixes in favour of more painful structural reform, Mr Rajan set himself on a collision course with the government of Narendra Modi. Read more

The singer was arrested last week for accusation of punching Samantha Miller but in a hearing on August 27 a withdrawal statement was signed by the mother of his son.
Blue star Lee Ryan has been cleared over allegations he attacked his former fiancee - his ex-partner has withdrawn her complaint against the singer. The boyband star was arrested last week amid accusations he punched Samantha Miller in the face during a drive through central London.
Miller, the mother of Ryan's young son Rayn, is said to have called police after the incident and the star was detained when he refused to submit himself for questioning. Ryan, who denied the accusation, appeared at London's City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday, August 27, where the assault charge was read and then dismissed, with prosecutor Laura Tams referring to a statement from Miller which had been handed to the court.
Tams told the hearing, "I have this morning been handed a withdrawal statement dated 25 August signed by Samantha Miller. Having taken further instructions there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction. I ask the court therefore to withdraw the charge."
Ryan's lawyer Raymond Lewis told the court the pair had been in an "unhappy and volatile relationship... up until last week" and a string of complaints had been made to police over the years, but none had ever warranted prosecution. He said, "Over the last couple of years, complaints have been made on six occasions, in Oxfordshire, London, Paddington Green and Belgravia. None of these matters have ever proceeded to court."

A POLICEMAN has joined a weight-loss group to get into shape for the London Marathon.
PC Dan Bishop, of Wellington, has already lost 23½lbs in four weeks through Slimming World classes and regular runs.
He was spurred on to beat the pounds as well as pounding the beat in his job by his sister, who went blind almost overnight through a rare disease.
Dan, 38, who is 6ft 5in and whose partner Chris O'Connor and boss Sgt Helen Boyd are also doing the marathon, said: "There aren't many men at the Slimming World classes – I think it's because they don't realise it's not dieting. It's an eating plan – the way you cook and eat things and sticking to it religiously.
"Lots of my colleagues try to lose weight through their own diet plans, but they tend to lose a bit and then put it back on again.
"Through the classes we all support each other at the meetings and I look forward to getting weighed each week.
"Losing weight will make running the marathon easier. I've run a few half marathons but not a full one – I'd never run at all until three years ago."
Dan and Chris will be raising money for Guide Dogs as a thank you for the help the charity has given to Andrea.
"She's so pleased of what we're doing – it means an awful lot to her and we've raised £4,000 towards our target of £6,000," said Dan.

ANDREA Bishop had never had any sight problems until three years ago.
"I woke up one morning and I'd gone blind in one eye overnight," said Andrea, 44, who lives in the Holway area of Taunton.
"I had a slight loss of vision in the other eye, but I just thought it was like when you wake up some mornings and rub your eyes because things are a bit blurred.
"But when it didn't get better by the end of the day, I went to hospital and was registered blind within three weeks.
"I didn't know what had happened for ten weeks, when they told me I had a rare condition called papillopathy, which causes the optic nerve to die."
Andrea, who was a carer in the community, has been left with slight sight in one eye, but she struggles to make out faces and can't see her hair in the mirror.
"I've lost my job, I can't drive – I've lost my independence," she said.
"It's hard to see anything on the TV, but I've had my computer adapted and that's my life now.
"I was healthy and active until I got this."
Guide Dogs have given Andrea a Labrador called Sandy to help her cope with day to day tasks.
She added: "They've been absolutely fantastic and Sandy's given me so much pleasure and changed my life."

By picking Paul Ryan as his choice for vice president, Mitt Romney might have thought the two would run against the Obama-Biden ticket. Well, yes; but not just them. Like it or not, they are also running against the Nuns on the Bus.
If I were Romney and Ryan, I think I'd be more worried about the latter. Nuns on the Bus was, after all, organized to highlight the gross injustices in the Ryan Budget, voted out favorably by the Republican-dominated House of Representatives. Now that Ryan is on the ticket, I suspect this bus tour will continue in some form.
The women at NETWORK, which sponsored the tour, are already thinking about what they might do next to highlight what they regard as the immorality of the Ryan budget. And they definitely get points for creative ideas.
Sr. Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, is already a favorite guest on evening cable talk shows. At a time when nuns have a favorability rating that most public figures can only dream about, that counts.
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
For the record, the Ryan Budget would turn Medicare into the voucher program, cut Medicaid and other important programs like food stamps, Pell grants, infrastructure spending and various types of aid for the poor and vulnerable. Meanwhile, it offers large new tax breaks for the very wealthy.
The Nuns on the Bus tour denounced that budget as immoral. In doing so, they were echoing the Catholic bishops, who have also denounced that budget. But when it comes to media, it's the nuns that count these days. Someone tell Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, will you?

Pro scout assesses area's top baseball prospects
The Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft begins Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m.
MLB Network will broadcast the Day 1 action from its studios at Secaucus, N.J.
As usual, there are several area players expected to be selected in the early rounds of the three-day draft. Baseball America, in fact, lists four current or former Marmonte League standouts in its top 200 list.
This week, the Simi Valley Acorn spoke with Baseball America scouting correspondent Dave Perkin, an expert for Southern California's draft prospects.
Before joining Baseball America's staff two years ago, Perkin spent four seasons scouting for the New York Mets.
Of particular interest locally were former Agoura High stars Jason Stoffel (No. 62 ranking) and Robert Stock (No. 118), as well as Royal senior Bryan Berglund (No. 93) and Simi Valley's Jonathan Meyer (No. 177).
Since Stoffel, a flame-throwing right-hander who's already set the career saves record at the University of Arizona, has played outside the region for some time, Perkin said he didn't have an up-to-date scouting report on the junior pitcher.
Perkin is, however, very familiar with Stock, Berglund and Meyer, and he gave us his draft assessments of each player.
Robert Stock,
catcher/pitcher, USC
Stock, 19, a national player of the year in 2005, left Agoura following his junior season to enroll at USC. If he would've stayed at Agoura for his senior campaign, Perkin said Stock may have been a top 10 choice out of high school.
"He's one of the most unusual draft stories I've ever come across," Perkin said.
"When he was 15 or 16, he was throwing in the lowtomid90s when he pitched, and he had tremendous power from the left side of the plate."
In college, Stock struggled with his consistency in the batter's box, hitting .253 as a freshman in 2007, .299 as a sophomore and just .226 this season.
"For me, he's taken steps backward as a hitter," Perkin said. "He's very lift-and-pull orientated, and he has trouble making contact. He has trouble with offspeed pitches and balls on the outside corner.
"He'll show you flashes of tremendous power; he just doesn't show it to you often enough to make you think he can be a position player on a consistent basis."
From the mound, Stock can still hit the mid-90s with his fastball. He was one of USC's top pitchers this year with a 5-4 record, 2.90 ERA and four saves.
Stock struck out 86 batters in 77 2/3 innings as a junior.
"He has a lot of talent in a lot of different areas," Perkin said. "The problem is no one seems to be able to say he's definitely this or definitely that. . . . He's one of these guys that's going to get a very wide range of opinions."
If Stock doesn't get drafted in the round he prefers, he can return to USC for his senior season. The problem with that, Perkin said, is that he'll lose much of his contract negotiating ability as a college senior.
Perkin said Stock could be selected anywhere from the second to sixth rounds, depending on his price tag.
Bryan Berglund,
pitcher, Royal
Berglund, a dual citizen of Sweden and the United States, projects exclusively as a pitcher.
At 6-foot-4 and 180 pounds, Royal's right-hander possesses a low-90s fastball, quality changeup and an outstanding slider. He has already committed to Loyola Marymount University.
"We normally don't see secondary pitches—that is pitches other than the fastball—that are as refined or developed in a highschooler as he has," Perkin said. "That sort of sets him apart."
Berglund said the decision between going pro or heading to college will be a difficult one to make.
"Professional baseball is exactly what I want to do," he said. "But it will be tough telling the college coaches that I'm going to sign, if that's what I end up doing."
Berglund could go as early as Round 3, according to Perkin.
Jonathan Meyer,
shortstop, Simi Valley
Meyer, a senior, may have a position change in his future.
As a shortstop, Meyer helped lead the Pioneers to the CIFSouthern Section Division I baseball championship in 2008.
Perkin, however, believes Meyer, who's listed at 6-foot-1, is more suited for third base, catcher or even pitcher. The scout also said Meyer may need to drop his switch-hitting approach and bat exclusively from the right side, his natural batting stance.
"I'd written about him earlier in the year that when he takes batting practice he reaches the warning track lefthanded and the parking lot right-handed," Perkin said.
Meyer could end up attending Cal State Fullerton. Perkin projects Meyer as a possible fourth-to-sixth-round choice.
Others in the mix
Those are the big names on the board, but others, including Ben Orloff (UC Irvine/Simi Valley), Richard Stock (Agoura) and Jack Marder (Newbury Park) could possibly have their names called by a professional ballclub.

Ever since the 1950's, spanking has been practiced for the pleasure of adults in Random Point. The present era finds Hugo Sands at the center of its scene. Formerly a stern and imperious dom, his persistent love for Laura has all but civilized him. But instead of enchanting his favorite submissive, Hugos' sudden tameness has the opposite effect on Laura, who breaks every rule of their relationship to provoke him into reacting like the strict martinet she once knew and loved. Meanwhile, Ivy League brat Susan Ross selects Sherman Cooper as the proper dominant to provide her naughty friend Diana Stratton with the discipline she craves. Finally, all the young women of Random Point conspire to rescue a delightful submissive from a cruel master.
About the Author:
In Random Point, everything is linked to spanking and this is true for the author of the Shadow Lane novels as well. Eve Howard has been writing and producing spanking erotica since the 1980's. Eve has written, directed and produced over 140 spanking videos. Female-friendly and designed to make people feel good, rather than guilty, about being into spanking, Eve suggests an irreverent alternative to the all or nothing B&D subculture portrayed in such beloved classics as The Story of O. Many spanking fans have discovered the real life spanking scene by following the same patterns of social networking as described in the Shadow Lane novels. And for almost twenty years, Eve's company Shadow Lane has been one of the primary social organs of the real life spanking scene. There are nine titles in the Shadow Lane series and Eve is currently working on Volume 10. She lives with her husband Tony Elka and their three cats in Las Vegas.

The Highlanders are an enigmatic bunch and the Sharks have no idea what to expect from them in Saturday's Super Rugby quarter-final.
Will it be the energised side that beat them 34-18 in Durban earlier this season, or the listless lot who lost 34-8 last week to the Crusaders and 44-16 the week before to the Waratahs.
Three weeks ago the Highlanders beat the Chiefs, the reigning champions. They have been up and down all season and sneaked into the play-offs by finishing sixth on the overall log.
But the fact that they beat the Sharks at Kings Park in April will give them the belief that they can do it again, despite their inconsistency this season.
"Every game we approach, we give it 100 percent, and the last time we came to Durban we got the result," Highlanders coach Jamie Josephs told the Otago Daily Times.
"Every game has its own life. So that game where we won in Durban is dead and gone. The Sharks took us lightly and paid for it. I don't think they will do that again.
"We are ready for the new challenge in Durban.
"What we know from the Sharks is that they are pretty much like the Crusaders. They'll kick it a lot. They'll maul us. Their game plan is pretty simple and they are a team big on building pressure."
In fairness to the Highlanders, their two heavy losses over the past fortnight were against arguably the best two teams in the competition, and Joseph's charges did not bring their "A game" to either contest.
"In this competition, when you are up against the best teams, you have to play at your absolute best. And I'm not sure we did that," he said.
"In the last two weeks we really struggled to win our own ball. We did that the week before against the Chiefs and scored some really nice set-piece tries.
"It is not a case of us lacking spark in these last two games. We were getting a hiding but the guys did not give in. I know with these guys they just won't give in."
The former All Black flank said the Highlanders should be proud of making the play-offs for the first time since 2002, and should be inspired by the achievement.
"I could give you a list of quotes at the start of the season where no one rated my team. But here we are in Africa playing the Sharks, so that is pretty great. I'm rapt for the players. I think they have done a hell of a job and they deserve everything they have got this year.
"We have knocked off some big teams and we have lost some games we should have won, but that is the nature of the Super Rugby competition." - The Mercury

text: hhmusik 126 Report post Posted November 26, 2013 Hi all!This is something that I asked myself long ago but I didn't have any challenge about it until now.I'm working on a PC vintage ethnic game, and I'm making Music and SFX.The soundtrack is big, and it turns to be in different keys each track, so when I have to make SFX with different hierarchy (for example, little things, little power ups, with big and important items and powers, etc.) I found that when I want to make this kind of musical or complex item SFX in one track or another it'll crash to dissonance in some of the levels.Having this problem I found that I worked for a lot of little games (with for example one track or two) in which I could fit the keys of the SFX and the soundtrack. But in this case I don't know if I have to let the developers code some kind of fade (as a side chain with the music) when the SFX is going on or If it has to be the music down, or if I have to change the esence of the sound design (maybe making inharmonic complex item sounds?).Thanks in advance, I'll try to figure it out but If you have some advice I'll learn something more.Best regards for all,Hernán 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Degenerative disease of the temporomandibular joint
Progression of degenerative joint disease is dependent on the underlying pathologic and/or reactive processes involved that, in general, compromise tissue adaptability. A review of clinical and experimental literature relating to degenerative joint disease is presented. Epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis are described with particular emphasis given to the temporomandibular joint. This article describes factors affecting the temporomandibular joint remodeling/degeneration parity and presents rationale for approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Nicolas Batum has told the Blazers that he does not want to return to the team, according to a source close to the situation.
"Batum never wants to play in Portland again," the source said. "And has determined that Minnesota is the best for him and his family."
The Timberwolves are believed to have offered Batum a four-year deal that could approach $50 million.

March 31, 2004
Motorists were on the lookout ten years ago as Kingston Council installed seven cameras in bus lanes to speed up public transport and snare drivers using them illegally.
From the beginning of May, drivers caught parking in or using the lanes faced a £100 fine as the council got tough on traffic offences.
At the time, bus lanes in Kingston Road, Cambridge Road, London Road, Penrhyn Road, Clarence Street and Eden Street were not monitored by cameras.
Tony Adams, of Kingston Area Travellers' Association (KATA) welcomed the move.
He said: "I am very pleased that they are doing this after so long. There's been virtually no enforcement of the bus lanes since they were introduced a few years ago.
"I just hope somebody is actually watching the cameras and making sure the fines are sent out."
Mr Adams added KATA would like to see bus lane operating times standardised to avoid the confusion at the time about when they were enforced.
He said the association wanted them to operate 24 hours a day.
Transport chiefs insisted they had no figures for how much revenue the cameras were expected to generate, but a council spokesman said the figure was not expected to exceed the cameras' operating costs.
Each camera costs £20,000 and they have been funded with a grant from Transport for London (TfL). The borough may have to employ extra part-time camera operators to staff the new network.
The cameras are operated from Kingston's CCTV control room and, when the bus lanes were not in effect, were supposed to boost crime fighting.
Motoring organisations like the RAC also support bus lane cameras as a way of making public transport more efficient.
Kingston's main bus operator, London United, welcomed the move. It had won operator of the year at the London Transport Awards that year.
March 21, 1964 The Surrey Comet's reporting of a public inquiry into Kingston's master plan 50 years ago was praised by A N Mundy of Surrey County Council.
He said: "The reporting of this inquiry has been in the highest tradition of local press reporting for which all who have taken part in this inquiry must surely be grateful."
March 23, 1989 Mothers and toddlers were taking "ludicrous" detours around the Coombe Road bridge, which overturned countless juggernauts and decapitated numerous buses, the Comet reported 25 years ago.
Kingston Council agreed to parents' plans for pavement improvements at the bridge, which would cut out a mile of extra walking time.
March 31, 2004 Chessington South train station was hit by a wave of graffiti ten years ago, leaving residents fuming.
Blue tags ran from one end of the platform to the other and the tracks were littered with rubbish.
Residents said the station, which was due an overhaul, had become a favourite haunt for youngsters at night.
Actress Jerry Hall joins dignitaries at a Kingston Theatre Trust charity auction which raised £50,000.

Spiral Ski Cap
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
As part of a class I'm taking I had to create a beginner "spiral" project with written instructions so I designed a ski cap.
The cap is worked in continuous rounds and uses a single crochet and double crochet.
An error was discovered in the 3rd round of the cap. I have corrected the error and uploaded a new pattern for you.
Round 3 now reads
sc in first stitch, 2sc in next stitch, repeat from around (30sc)
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

I got a phone call yesterday from a company called CTReview. A man told me they had discovered I had been given the wrong council tax band and said they could get me overpaid money going back to 1993, amounting to about £5,000 plus interest. My commitment would be a payment of £165 to get the ball rolling, which I would get back when the money came through. I asked what else they wanted and he said 25% of any settlement. I made excuses and put him off for a month. Is this genuine? TA, Bolton, Lancashire
CTReview was incorporated at Companies House in May 2011 and has yet to file any accounts, but on its website it talks about its "proven track record", and states that it is "renowned for [its] vast experience and successes in claiming back refunds and lowering council tax bills for homeowners".
However, the government's Valuation Office Agency (VOA) says it costs nothing to check whether you have been classified under the wrong council tax band, so it makes financial sense to query this yourself rather than hand over a percentage of any subsequent refund to a third party.
A VOA spokesman said: "Taxpayers have a choice to employ an agent to act on their behalf if they wish, but they will have to pay for this. If they have concerns about the trading practices of a firm, they should raise this with the local trading standards office."
More generally, this is certainly an area where people should be wary. The VOA has published an alert on its website which states: "Fraudsters are calling council tax payers telling them their council tax band has been reduced, and requesting bank details and dates of birth to process the refund. If you receive such a call, contact the police. Your local office can help if you have a query relating to your council tax banding."
Be aware that the VOA can revise your council tax band up as well as down, so check your band against similar neighbouring properties first and use one of the many free consumer or property websites to work out what your property was worth in 1991, when council tax band valuations were originally calculated.

SMTP TLS: All About Secure Email Delivery over TLS
TLS stands for "Transport Layer Security" and is the successor of "SSL" (Secure Socket Layer). TLS is one of the standard ways that computers on the Internet transmit information over an encrypted channel. In general, when one computer connects to another computer and uses TLS, the following happens:
- Computer A connects to Computer B (no security)
- Computer B says "Hello" (no security)
- Computer A says "Lets talk securely over TLS" (no security)
- Computer A and B agree on how to do this (secure)
- The rest of the conversation is encrypted (secure)
In particular:
- The meat of the conversation is encrypted
- Computer A can verify the identity of Computer B (by examining its SSL certificate, which is required for this dialog)
- The conversation cannot be eavesdropped upon (without Computer A knowing)
- The conversation cannot be modified by a third party
- Other information cannot be injected into the conversation by third parties.
TLS (and SSL) is used for many different reasons on the Internet and helps make the Internet a more secure place, when used. One of the popular uses of TLS is with SMTP for transmitting email messages between servers in a secure manner. See also:
- How Does Secure Socket Layer (SSL or TLS) Work?
- The Case for Email Security (Why normal email is insecure)
TLS with SMTP
The mechanism and language (i.e. protocol) by which one email server transmits email message(s) to another email server is called SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol). For a long time now, email servers have had the option of using TLS to transparently encrypt the message transmission from one server to the other.
Use of TLS with SMTP, when available, ensures that the message contents are secured during transmission between the servers.
Not all servers support TLS!
Use of TLS requires that the server administrators:
- purchase of one or more SSL certificates
- configure the email servers to use them (and keep these configurations updated)
- allocate additional computational resources on the email servers involved.
For these reasons, many email providers, especially free or public ones, have in the past not supported TLS at all. Over the last few years, however, the trend has been to add TLS everywhere. Now, the majority of providers do support TLS.
For TLS transmission to be used, the destination email server must "advertise" support for TLS (see: How to Tell Who Supports TLS for Email Transmission) and the sending computer or server must be configured to use TLS connections when possible.
The sending computer or server could be configured for:
- No TLS — never use it.
- Opportunistic TLS — use it if it is available, if not, send insecurely.
- Forced TLS — use TLS or do not deliver the email at all
How Secure is SMTP TLS?
TLS protects the transmission of the content of email messages. It does nothing for protecting the security of the message before it is sent or after it arrives at its destination. For that, other encryption mechanisms may be used, such as PGP, S/MIME, or storage in a secure portal.
However, transmission security is all that is required of many organizations (i.e. banks and HIPAA/health care) when sending to customers. In such situations, enforced use of TLS is a good alternative to stronger and less user friendly encryption methods (like PGP and S/MIME) and can prevent the insecure delivery of email.
The transmission itself is as secure as can be negotiated between the sending and receiving servers. If they both support strong encryption (i.e. AES 256) then that will be used. If not, a weaker grade of encryption may be used. The sending and receiving servers can choose what kinds of encryption they will support — and if there is no overlap in what they support, then TLS will fail (this is rare).
What about Replies to Secure Messages?
Lets say that you send a message to someone and that is delivered to his/her Inbox over TLS. That person then replies back to you. Will that reply be secure? This may be important if you are communicating sensitive information. The reply will use TLS for security if:
- The recipient's servers do support TLS for outbound email (there is no way to test this externally)
- Your mail servers (where your "From" or "Reply" email address is hosted) support TLS for inbound email
- Both servers support overlapping TLS ciphers and protocols so they can agree on a mutually acceptable means of encryption
In general unless you are familiar with the providers in question, you cannot assume that such replies will use TLS. There are two ways of looking at this problem:
- Conservatively. If you must proactively ensure that replies are secure in all cases, then assuming TLS will be used is probably not a good assumption. In this case, you should a service (like SecureLine Escrow) whereby your messages are encrypted and stored in a secure portal where the recipient must go to view the message and reply securely. Or, you and your recipients can go the extra mile and setup PGP or S/MIME for use.
- Aggressively. In some compliance situations like HIPAA, it can be argued that it is up to the sender to send messages securely if needed. E.g. while doctors need to be sure that ePHI is sent securely to patients; patients themselves are not beholden to HIPAA and can send their information insecurely to anyone they want. So, if the patient's reply is insecure — "that could be Ok". If the recipeint is another organization that falls under the HIPAA umbrella, then it is up to them to ensure that everything they send (e.g. their replies) is secure. For these reasons, and because use of TLS for email security is so "easy", many just do not worry about the security of the email replies.
However, this should be a "Rick Factor" that you consider in any internal security audit. Is the risk of insecure replies worth the possible data exposure in your organizations practices.
What about TLS at LuxSci?
Inbound TLS
LuxSci inbound email servers support TLS for encrypted inbound email delivery from any sending email provider that also supports that.
For selected organizations, e.g. Bank of America, LuxSci also locks down its servers so that it only accepts email from them if its is delivered over TLS.
Outbound Opportunistic TLS.
LuxSci outbound email servers will always use TLS with any server that claims to support it and with whom we can talk TLS v1.0+ using a strong cipher. If the TLS connection to such a server server fails (due to misconfiguration or no security protocols in common), the message will not be sent.
Outbound opportunistic TLS encryption is automatic for all LuxSci customers, even those without SecureLine.
Support strong encryption, up to AES 256 and better
LuxSci servers will use the strongest encryption supported by the recipient's email server that is also considered strong. LuxSci servers will never employ an encryption cipher that uses less than 128 bits (they will failed to deliver rather than deliver via an excessively weak encryption cipher) and they will never use SSL v2 or SSL v3.
Forced TLS
LuxSci servers use "Forced TLS" with recipient servers that support TLS if email is being sent to those servers from any SecureLine account using TLS-Only delivery services (outbound email or forwarding). This ensures that messages will never be delivered to such servers, even in the case that they stop supporting TLS suddenly.
Forced TLS is also in place for all LuxSci customers sending to certain Banks and organizations that have requested that we globally enforce TLS to their servers.
Does LuxSci have any other Special TLS Features?
When using SecureLine for outbound email encryption:
- Try TLS: Account administrators can choose to have secure messages "try TLS first" and deliver that way. Only if TLS is not available would the messages fall back and use more secure options like PGP, S/MIME, or Escrow. This makes email security easy, seamless, and automatic when communicating internally or with others who support TLS.
- TLS Only Forwarding: Account administrators can restrict any server side email forwarding settings in their accounts from allowing forwarding to any email addresses which do not support TLS for email delivery.
- When TLS delivery is enabled for SecureLine accounts, messages will never be insecurely sent to domains that purport to be TLS-enabled. I.e. TLS delivery is enforced and no longer "opportunistic". The system monitors these domains and updates their TLS-compliance status daily.
- Double Encryption: Messages sent using SecureLine and PGP or S/MIME will still use Opportunistic TLS whenever possible for message delivery. In these cases, messages are often "double encrypted". Encrypted first with PGP or S/MIME, and then that secure message may be encrypted again during transport using TLS.
- No Weak TLS. Unlike many organizations, LuxSci's TLS support for SMTP and other servers only supports those protocol levels (e.g. TLS v1.0+) and ciphers that are recommended by NIST for government communications and which are required for HIPAA. So, all communications with LuxSci servers will be over a compliant implementation of TLS.
For customers whose security or compliance needs allow TLS to be a sufficient form of email encryption, it enables seamless security and "use of email as usual" security. SecureLine with Forced TLS enables clients to take advantage of this level of security whenever possible, while automatically falling back to other methods when TLS is not available.
Of course, use of Forced TLS as the sole method of encryption is optional; if your compliance needs are stronger, you can disable TLS-Only delivery or restrict it so tat it is used only with specific recipients.

My favorite dildo
Reviewed: 09 September 2016 by vajayjay
After extensive research, I decided to purchase this dildo and it was the best decision I ever made! I have two other dildos and this one is better by far.
It gives trans men or women the feeling of having a real penis without an awkward harness. The ridges provide amazing clitoral stimulation that no other dildos provide. The bulb does hurt when you put it in or take out but it stays in and doesn't fall out like some strap ons fall out of their harnesses.
Finally, an amazing dildo that feels natural and good for both the wearer and receiver!
- Pros
- Absolutely everything.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- The best dildo at a great price.

Reviewed: 11 August 2014 by rebooting, a Bisexual Single Male
I am a trans man, and was looking for something that would allow me to 'top', with me getting pleasure also, without straps, and with a natural look.
It is painful to take in or out, however, that's to be expected if you're intending on it staying there. And it *does* stay there. You can walk around the house with it in, no problem. Even better, it points a bit up rather than the sticking-out-at-a-right-angle type; if you're wanting to feel natural, this is the way to go.
I'm not sure how useful the clitoral ridges are. The vaginal bulb, on the other hand, does take all the sensations. You can even have a little foreplay wanking off the shaft.
If you're intending on using no straps, I would recommend this version - the larger version is going to be heavier, and therefore more difficult to wield.
If you have already been taking insertions, you may be too sore to use it effectively - that's okay! I have a very minimalistic harness, which just provides a little extra support if needed. You could make your own out of DIY O-rings if you wanted. No matter how sore you are, you will never need a full proper harness for this toy.
It's a nice material with a bit of flexibility. An all round good toy. I have no idea if the cheaper strapless strap-ons do as they claim - but this one absolutely does, so if you're wanting to buy a toy without any fear of wasted money on a toy that does not quite work... Get this one.
- Pros
- Stays in, looks good, works well in use.
- Cons
- Nothing - everything performs as it is intended to.
- Bottom line
- Perfect.

Good Size for Post-op Trans Woman
Reviewed: 16 June 2016 by SWohldmann, a Bisexual Married Female
This is a very handy toy, and I'm really enjoying all the ways I've been able to use it so far. I did want to chime in to mention that this one, the Realdoe Slim, fits inside me very well on either end - the bulb stays in place when I top and it's not too big for when I'm receiving. I normally can't handle many toys due to many having a bit too much length or girth, as a trans woman's vagina doesn't have the stretch that a cis woman's does.
The only downside I saw was that the vibe is just kinda "meh," the vibration doesn't always transfer through the material and the battery died way too soon. I often use other vibes in combination if I need one. But I don't always need one when using this toy without a vibe.
In addition, this is one of the best prices on this toy anywhere.
- Pros
- Texture, size, ease of cleaning, shape.
- Cons
- Vibe kind of weak, died easily.
- Bottom line
- Amazing toy overall!

Question about PDF reading on Nook tablet

Join Date: Aug 2010
Device: Nook, Paperwhite 1, iPad4
it works pretty well. you click on a pdf and you get your choice of viewing it with either the reader program or the lite version of the office thing they have on there.
With the good processor and gig of RAM, it handles them fine. I actually have a scanned book that gives Goodreader on my ipad1 fits (takes a few seconds to flip a page-- it's something goofy with that scanned document. The Nook handles it much better.
That said, you're gonna want to check it out at the store. Bring a document on a microSD or find one you can download online that's like what you want to use. If for no other reason, 7 inch screens stink for PDF (especially skinny ones like this). Print is very small in portrait and you can only fit 1/3 of a page on landscape.
If you really want a good PDF reader, I'd consider a refurb iPad 1 for not much more (I never had any problems with a PDF other than that one) or a bigger android like a Xoom or something (gonna be a lot of deals on those black friday).
To top it off, it looks like the Nook tablet is not gonna be as easy to hack/mod as the color was. Pretty good chance I'm taking mine back unless XDA hits the motherload before my 14 day window closes.

Farmer innovation diffusion via network building: a case of winter greenhouse diffusion in China
Farmer innovation diffusion (FID) in the developing world is not simply the adoption of an innovation made by farmers, but a process of communication and cooperation between farmers, governments, and other stakeholders. While increasing attention has been paid to farmer innovation, little is known about how farmers' innovations are successfully diffused. To fill this gap, this paper aims to address the following questions: What conditions are necessary for farmers to participate in FID? How is a collaborative network built up between farmers and stakeholders for this purpose? And what roles can government play? The above questions are addressed through analysis of the diffusion of winter greenhouse technology in China. A framework for analyzing a FID system is developed, and the conclusion is drawn that building mutual trust and collaborative networks is crucial for the success of FID. Furthermore, this network building can be broken down into various levels with different scales, speeds and consequences for FID: informal networks among farmers themselves, farmer-led networks, and government-facilitated networks. The success of government intervention depends upon building and enhancing the collaborative networks in which farmer leadership is crucial. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013

Chris Lau, Kapitall: BlackBerry may not be a publicly traded company for long. Here's what to consider while shares might ripen. BlackBerry ( BBRY ) is supposed to be privatized in a $4.7 billion deal. Yet the market is evaluating the risk associated with financing Fairfax Financial's purchase, and some analysts are looking to the downside.

The first is the release of the Z30 smartphone, which will include:

Our Positions
Modern Islam
The Free Muslims Coalition believes that the Koran only provides general principles of governance which leaves the faithful with substantial flexibility to modernize popular Muslim practices and beliefs.
The Free Muslims believes that fundamentalist Islamic terror represents one of the most lethal threats to the stability of the civilized world. There is no room for terrorism in the modern world and the United States should take a no-tolerance stance on terrorism in order to avoid another tragedy, along the lines of 9-11.
Economic Development
Israel/Palestine--One-State v Two State Soluion
No issue evokes the passion of Muslims and Arabs as much as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is so important to Arabs and Muslims that every political group from Morocco to Indonesia that seeks legitimacy and a following, places the "liberation" of Palestine at the forefront of their agenda.
Don't Blame the "Jews"
Another disturbing trend that is heavily propagated by extremists and accepted by many naive Arabs and Muslims is the blaming of all Muslim problems on the "Jews." There are numerous examples for this but most recently news broadcasts out of Iraq quoted Iraqi victims of violence who blamed the bombings on Jews or a Jewish conspiracy.

Warren London had an amazing time at the New York City Pet Show on Saturday and Sunday. We spoke to so many great people and met many amazing dogs walking through the show. We were so happy to help out dogs that we saw with dry skin, damaged paws and bad odors! But our most popular item once again was our dog nail polish pens. We painted many nails as you can see in the below pictures. We got to talk to Victoria Stilwell from Its Me Or The Dog plus the guys from Rescue Ink.
We got to hang out with Victoria Stillwell and get some great personal tips from her to train our dogs!

She uses medical-grade products but works hard to create a soothing environment so that clients can relax while she works.

Not sold separately, must be purchased in conjunction with wine or spirits.
Traditional Red - Gift Set
As low as: £11.50One of our big hits this year and an all round great value red that will satisfy a diverse range of palates - from the religiously Old World wine fan to someone who just likes their red soft, fruity and drinkable
Classic White - Gift Set
As low as: £11.25One of the best value for money wines we've ever stocked, this Gavi really punches above its weight. Crisp and refreshing, it's a winner for any white wine lover and particularly for Italian white wine fans (although generally it's very hard to go wrong here). A smashing well made wine and a great aperitif.
Bubbles - Gift Set
As low as: £10.00Cava is still underrated and in many cases under-priced. Made according to the Traditional Method (the same method as used in Champagne) which is a painstaking and labour intensive process, quality is guaranteed. Always reliable and often extraordinary, cava always goes down well.
Vintage Champagne - Gift Set
As low as: £41.50An always reliable, always remarkable vintage from the experts at Taittinger
Champagne - Gift Set
As low as: £23.50Of all the lesser-known, under-heralded Champagnes this is the one that stands out by a mile for value for money - receiving a steady stream of compliments. Such unanimous approval has got to mean something, and that something is a standard of winemaking that would not disgrace one of the big names in Champagne.
Veuve Clicquot - Gift Set
As low as: £37.50It's no coincidence that in the same way that Veuve Cliquot's label sets it apart from all other Champagne, this very distinction is emblemic of how Veuve Cliquot's style itself sets itself apart from all others. And that drinking style is very much what your extra premium buys into. Full, nearing rich (but within dry) this style will always be a constant; as good as it's always been, it's never been better.
White Burgundy Gift Set
As low as: £13.50An excellent gift set comprising of one of the best white burgundies available in the range at the moment.
In the Pink - Gift Set
As low as: £10.25There's no better time to enjoy a bottle of rosé than the (supposedly) warm months. This is a guaranteed winner for lovers of the pink stuff.
Koden. (Women only...)
As low as: £11.75No, we're not being sexist. Well, OK maybe a bit. And before you all write in or report us to the EU, yes, men, you are allowed to buy this. Thing is "Koden" is an Aztec word meaning "The time in a woman's life when she is at her most splendid". See what we're getting at..... It's also a damn fine Rioja.
A Rich Italian... - Gift Set
As low as: £15.25This bottle of red is so totally stylish to look at that we were utterly suspicious. But what did we find when we cracked it open? Only the most sumptuous ripasso style (that's the Amarone technique if you're interested) red we've had in a while for this kind of money. Just shows, it's possible to be beautiful on the inside and the outside.
"Secret" - Gift Set
As low as: £13.00In honour of that most ancient of exchanges, the secret, a wine that revels in the untold. Whilst 85% of this decadent drop is the uber popular and super delicious and rich Malbec grape, the rest of the cuvee is, well, a secret! Your guess is as good as ours...
Veuve Clicquot Rosé - Gift Set
As low as: £1.50Despite her apparent colour blindness and her quite frankly terrifying appearance (have a look at the portrait of the "merry" widow on Veuve's Wikipedia page), Madame Clicquot sure made a mean Champagne. The red fruit pie flavoured and elegantly pink Carte Violet is no exception.
'La Tour de Bessan' Margaux - Gift Set
As low as: £25.50Looking for a real deal top notch classic? Scroll no further. Can there be a more delightful gift than a bottle from this most famous of Bordeaux regions. Known for it's sumptuous supple dark fruit and heart lingering complexity this really is a red you can't really go wrong with. If your recipient isn't happy, sever all ties.
Jansz Rosé - Gift Set
As low as: £19.50This staggering Tasmanian rosé is one of the very best sparklers in the Oddbins range - and that's counting Champagne. Handmade by a lady who likes to tend each vine individually according to its precise needs, everything about this beautiful glimmers with rose tinted quality.
Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut NV - Gift
As low as: £42.00Laurent Perrier's Ultra Brut is a "zero dosage" champagne, meaning that no sugar is added at the end of the fermentation process. It might surprise you to learn that this is unusual, but it is. Does it mean that Ultra Brut's a zero calorie, guilt free way of consuming the world's favourite celebratory tipple. Hmm, probably not. On the other hand does it mean that it's a super dry, super crisp, superstylish, just plain super glass of fizz? It certainly does. Ultra, indeed.
Lanson Black Label NV Gift set
As low as: £30.50With consistency of production that would impress even the Germans, Lanson Black Label is a flipping reliable Champagne. But reliable is not to be confused with boring, oh no no no. Aged for three years and blended with grapes from 40-50 different crus, it has flirtatious aromas of honey-topped toast and spring flowers, followed by flavours of ripe citrus, crisp apple and lemony brioche.. And with some dainty flutes to boot, your gift recipient can certainly RELY on this…
Johnnie Walker 'Ryder Cup' - Premium Whisky Gift Set
As low as: £231.50This fantastic whisky is a hand selected limited edition celebrating the return of the Ryder Cup to Scotland after 41 years. Each bottle is numbered depicting the iconic Gleaneagles hotel.

Stephen Colbert was pretty low-key on "The Colbert Report" Thursday night when talking about his new gig replacing David Letterman on "The Late Show" in 2015 — then again, "Stephen Colbert" on his show is just a character, so he can't be too excited about it.
At first, it looked like a grinning Colbert was going to say something: He couldn't even start the show because of so much applause and the studio audience chanting "Ste-phen! Ste-phen!" — much louder than usual.
"There was some big news last week that slipped through my news crack," Colbert started. "And it concerned someone I've admired for years. And yet, surprisingly, is not me — I'm talking about David Letterman, who last Thursday night, announced his retirement. And I am going to miss this good man."
"Dave has been on the air my entire adult life. 'Late Night' debuted my first year in college," he continued. "I learned more from watching Dave than I did going to my classes — especially the ones I did not go to because I had stayed up until 1:30 watching Dave."
"This man has influenced every host who came after him and even a few who came before him, he is that good — and I gotta tell you," Colbert said, gearing up for the punchline. "I do not envy whoever they try to put in that chair."
Cue wild applause from the crowd and even more chanting of his name.
"Folks, those are some huge shoes to fill," Colbert added. "And, some really big pants." Then he segued to his next segment, and that was all.
But was there some subtle boasting of his new gig? Later in the show, Colbert showed a clip of Fox News's Bill O'Reilly ("Papa Bear") taking a shot at him.
"Recently, Colbert mocked me on the subject of inequality," O'Reilly said in a clip. "Only about 1 million people watch his late-night program at 11:30, but he is the darling of the far left Internet, which rhapsodizes over him."
"Bill's right," Colbert said. "Hey folks, I'm not happy about it, but for some reason, the far left Internet loves me. I mean, I'm in all the hashtags!" (Of course, the now-famous #CancelColbert popped up on the screen, as the audience went crazy. But no mention that Colbert's ratings — and profile — will soon skyrocket on a mainstream broadcast network.)
Meanwhile, a half-hour earlier on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart kicked off his show with a tribute to his good friend.
"As you can imagine, it's been a bit of a wild day," Stewart began. "You may remember a few years back, there was a gentleman on this program by the name of Stephen Colbert."
"Skin like porcelain, a very talented actor, writer, dancer, improvisational comedian," he said as the audience cheered. "We would occasionally send him out into the field, usually with some type of fruit and we would see where the day took us."
[Cut to 2003 clip of Colbert "reporting" from London about allegations that Prince Charles had a "gay experience." Colbert was eating a banana while doing the report, and completely broke character as he was laughing so hard he couldn't get through his lines.]
Stewart was cracking up as the video ended."By the way, we spent all day looking up old stuff on the Internet of Stephen. It's really fun," he said, proving "The Daily Show" isn't that different from any other office in America. "I mean working! We were working."
Then Stewart got serious, and gave Colbert a very sweet tribute that is best just transcribed in entirety:
Truly one of great pleasures of doing this show has been trying to maintain professional composure while Mr. Colbert is making me laugh uncontrollably. So the exciting news today is I no longer need a cable subscription for the privilege of watching Stephen Colbert: Our good friend Stephen Colbert will be heading to CBS to take over "The Late Show" from, for at least me, the comedian broadcaster who is the best there ever was, David Letterman. And I think — here is the exciting thing for me, I think Stephen Colbert is up for the challenge. So while we wish Dave the absolute best for a well-earned retirement, there's no greater joy for seeing a genuinely good man who works as hard as he can every day and deserves all the success in the world actually get that success.
"Here is what I'm looking forward to: To be able to walk down Broadway and look up at the Ed Sullivan theater marquee and see "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,'" Stewart continued. "Assuming that is where they tape it."
Then he couldn't help wrapping up with the joke: "There is a theater across the street from us, which I believe is currently referred to as the Hustler Club. Both venues pretty familiar with the presence of Ed Sullivan," he said, to much laughter from the hyped-up audience.
"My point is this," Stewart concluded, "Godspeed to both men."

I haven't been to a bridal shower in what seems like forever. This past Labor Day weekend, I was invited to my future sister-in-law's party. I was super excited, but I didn't know what to wear. I didn't want to wear a dress. I've been in such a denim mood lately. Seriously, that's all I want to wear. And I've been wanting to wear this top from Ruche and bag from Urban Expressions since they sent it to me to review.
If you guys don't know about Ruche, let me tell you you're missing out. I like to compare them to Anthropologie, but a lot nicer on the wallet. They do have a curvy section, that I love. But, if you see something you like, you better get it. Because, once it's gone…it's gone. The top they sent me can be worn so many ways, so I'll get a lot of wear out of it. The color is gorgeous too!
And if you're into eco and animal friendly handbags, then you should really check out Urban Expressions. The quality, hardware, and design of the bags is amazing. So much better than a lot of vegan bags out there. This is my second bag from them and not the last. The color of the one below will be perfect for fall and it's super roomy.
What I'm wearing: Ruche Honey In The Sun Curvy Plus Blouse (gifted), Lucky Brand Curvy Ginger Skinny (gifted), Urban Expression "Sunday" bag (gifted), Ruche Necklace (not available online), Michael Kors watch, and Corso Como pumps.

Floyd Mayweather Puts Reporter In Check For Questioning His Friendship With Justin Bieber [VIDEO]
Have you ever wondered about Floyd Mayweather's friendship with Justin Bieber? If so, don't ask him about it. One reporter did—and almost instantly regretted it.
"Money" Mayweather totally checked a reporter for asking him if his friendship with the Biebs was actually a legit one, or just some marketing scheme.
While she definitely isn't the only one who may have wondered how his connection with the 20-year-old pop star came about, she will definitely be the one we remember for getting put in check by the CEO of The Money Team for her curiosity.
Bieber is seen at all of Mayweather's fights, in photos before and after the match—he even rushed to make sure his kids were ok after a recent fender bender.
She may not have meant anything by it, but Mayweather turned her attempt at a funny question into a very awkward situation when he claimed that the fact that she saw anything "wrong" with the situation was simply racial profiling.
I'm pretty sure she will never ask that question again.

A Rhyl support worker is running 34 miles along the North Wales coast for charity.
Andy Simpson, aged 44, will be running from the Rhyl Pavilion to the end of Llandudno Pier and back on Saturday, March 23 in aid of the National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS).
Mr Simpson said: "I'm really looking forward to this.
"It's going to be out of my comfort zone because the endurance level is that much higher than I'm used to.
"I run all the time, but the distance this time I think is going to be quite a challenge."
Mr Simpson is also in training for the London Marathon in April, also in aid of the NDCS.
He has already run four marathons in the past, including two times in the Snowdon marathon.
He added: "Running is something I love doing.
"Physically it can be pretty painful, but when I'm running for charity I'm thinking about how great it is to be able to give something back.
Mr Simpson has worked as a support worker at The Grange care home in St Asaph for almost ten years.
He said: "I run to work every day.
"I work with people with learning disabilities or challenging behaviour, and I myself am partially sighted.
"Raising money through running is a perfect way for me to give something back."
Andy will be setting off at around 10am on the promenade near the Rhyl Pavilion.
He hopes to arrive at Llandudno Pier by 12pm to 12.30pm.
Andy will be accepting donations in a collection tin during his run, or on www.justgiving.com/Andy-Simpson2.

By Jamie McAllister:
"Alexander Gustafsson is close to a title shot. I think if he wins two more fights against like, Lyoto or Evans, I'd like to see him with another wrestler. I don't think it is appropriate to be comparing us. The only thing we have similar is that we are both tall. Were different fighters, I kick fast, I'm good in the clinch and accurate and he has great boxing."
"I like his swagger though, he exudes winning when he steps in the cage, he has the potential to be a star, he just has it."
Jon Jones has his say on Alexander Gustafsson during today's UFC 145 pre-fight press conference.
If you were watching the event the odds are you would have heard the comparison between Jones and Gustafsson being made. However the Light Heavyweight Champion does not agree with the assessment.
Gustafsson defeated Thiago Silva at the UFC on Fuel TV 2 card in impressive fashion and could find himself one or two wins away from a potential title shot.
Do you think Gustafsson now or in the near future has the necessary skills and fighting style to cause Jones problems and get the victory ?
