Keri Russell Pregnant Baby Bump Pictures in Brooklyn
Keri Russell Shows Her Growing Baby Bump While on a Cheerios Run!
A pregnant Keri Russell stepped out of her Brooklyn home this morning to pick up Honey Nut Cheerios at a local deli. She's about six months along with her second child with husband Shane Deary, and soon their oldest, River, will become a big brother! The cereal may have been for Keri, her husband, or their son, but she has revealed in the past that her favorite craving lately has been for whoopie pie cookies. Keri's baby bump hasn't slowed her down from enjoying NYC. She and her husband were seen last month showing PDA while watching the US Open in Queens. Keri's also lined up another role, besides mother of two. She will star in Austenland, a film produced by Twilight's Stephenie Meyers about a Jane Austen fan who tries to find the perfect gentleman for herself.

Interesting to speculate whether it was a proper future vision or whether it was a worst case scenario. Was the creature showing her what would definitely happen, or what could happen if she took it?

O'Neill: Well, I suppose now is the time for me to say something profound...
Nothing comes to mind.
*checks podcast page*
Yes, yes it is!
I hope the Will/Kate thing keeps up But it probably wont as was pointed out.. it was probably out of grief. Him for all of them and her for... Henry? Maybe?
so... do you think the spirit was foretelling the future... or was making it up to make Helen see what type of thing could happen?
Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.
I'm with everyone about the shower scene. I can't believe I forgot to mention it in my first post! I think it was the screaming and the fighting that made it so powerful. I mean, of course she'd scream and fight, but because of how Amanda acted it, you could feel Helen's fear. You could feel that she believed they were going to rape her since, in her mind, there was no possible other reason to strip off her clothes like that. I sure believed it- and it was so powerful, I wasn't even thinking "Nah, they won't do that, there must be some other reason." I was totally caught up in what I was watching. Amanda amazes me!
I am all for an actress growing by why is it always with being nude? I am not saying she did a bad job, not at all. I just get tired of telling actors that being naked is a way to grow.
Omg I laughed at first when I saw will and his hair, but it didn;t last long. I agree that I wanted to know what was up with Tesla in the grand scheme of things.
O'Neill: Well, I suppose now is the time for me to say something profound...

Such rain! Makes sense, the Earth was now in a nuclear winter. It was at it's end.
So, was Jessica actually hurt by the creatures or was it her proximity to Helen that turned her? Typical teen with Will though.
"Were you scared?"
"Only when I saw your face."
Mourning Sanctuary.
Thanks for the good times!
Nothing biggie.
Some post say Helen was trying to kill herself I disagree. She was looking for a cure to her logevity so she could age normally. I dont think thats the same as her trying to kill herself. Specially when a bullet would do that just fine.
Oh hey Ashley would've been a good name for the kid lol
Amanda knows nudity isn't the way to 'grow'. She doesn't do it. You only see parts of her skin. Yeah, the implication is there, but I seriously doubt the *she* was nude.
Mourning Sanctuary.
Thanks for the good times!
Wow... Awesome ep. The washing scene just chilled me to the bone (it just screamed rape at me *shudders*). Great opening sequence. The view of the city crumbled to pieces was very powerful.
Favorite part was definitely the tie in to Ashley, how the knowledge that Helen's pain was the cause of everything that happened.
My shipper heart was doing a happy dance when Will said that John killed himself shortly after Helen's death, and the look of shock on her face.
I'm not usually Will's greatest fan, normally I just find him to be very dull, but he really won me over in this ep. You could see everything that has happened in the world through him.
The bad part: It was to damn short! This was easily a two part material.
~1300 screencaps for the ep (didn't have time to clear out the bad ones)
204 Pavor Nocturnus.zip
And just ignore the fact that the file says 204, it should be 205.
I really liked the episode but the fact that Will and Kate fell in love with each other and had a child is such a no-go for me.
The revalation in the end was really shocking. I've never thought that Helen would be the reason for the whole chaos. And the fact that she was looking for something to shorten her life or to let her age like a normal person because she out lived so many loved ones (espacially Ashley) was sad
IMHO, this was one of the worst episodes of the season. It was just a spoof of ___ of the living dead movies, nothing more.
The spirit thingy stalking her and making her look at the future would of been just as dumb, the last 5 mins of the episode was just crap. It would of been better if she realized she was ground zero and the zombies obeyed her.. But no, it all turns out to be a dream.
The only good thing was the dark side of Will..
3/10 for this episode. kthxbi

On the podcast they mentioned that Kate and Will fell in love with each other and this shows that Kate is actually a cool person.
Great eppy! But i have one question, what happened to Tesla?
DTA ~ Devoted to AmandaWordpress - Tumblr - Deviantart - YoutubeProud to be a TESLENITE! <3
In this instance, it was part of the story. I think it made the scene gut clenching. It was a horrifying scene--more so than the zombies. The "daring" thing from an acting standpoint was showing Helen's terror, etc. imho.
WOW!!! An amazing ep, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
But wow, the shower scene was just so powerful. You could almost feel Helen's fear. Amanda gave an incrediable performance here! This scene just terrified me, it was mind-blowing!
And yeah, when Will said he and Kate had a son, I was like WHATTT?! But since they were basically the only ones left i can sort of see that happening. RD's hair was scary, but the shower scene was for me the scariest IMHO.
Seriously Amanda should get so many awards for this ep!

Brother Islands
Brother Islands: Video Still
Brother Islands is a live multimedia performance about involuntary isolation and its machinery, as seen through the sights and sounds of two East River islands. Brother Islands premiered in 2007 at Eyebeam Art & Technology Center in New York City in a sold out performance to launch the "MIXER" series.
Half a century since its abandonment, North Brother Island fades from New York City's map as nature swallows this one block square quarantine city. Just down the East River, Ward's Island warehouses New York's homeless and mentally ill in a dozen immense buildings clustered under the Triborough Bridge.
Brother Islands combines physical theater, audio, video and stereoscopic photography to paint a haunting picture of these ill-fated places. The performers explore location in relationship to history, memory, and representation within a format that could be described as "expanded documentary". Audio and video field recordings become raw materials for live digital manipulation; by presenting these sights and sounds around the centralized audience, a documentary movie becomes a performance of a place.

Turkey and stuffing and gravy, oh my!
It's that time of year again – the week when most traveling motivational speakers get to be home with the family prepping for "the big day!" And fortunately, I'm no exception. I even got to attend church last Sunday where I heard the exact perfect message about Thanksgiving from the wonderful Rev. Karen Wolfson at the Center for Spritual Living.
It was about the GIVING part of thanksgiving. She said that if there's something you need in your life – then give it away.
That really got me to thinking. Frequently when something is missing in my life, my tendency can be to start feeling a little resentful. Like, here I am doing all this for everyone and NO ONE seems to even notice. The LEAST someone could do is express a little appreciation. Please tell me I'm not alone. Have you experienced anything like that?
Ah, well. I know exactly how I handle this the next time I have this experience. From now on…
- When I need love – I will GIVE love.
- When I need comforting – I will GIVE comfort.
- When I need appreciation – I will GIVE appreciation.
How about you? Is there something you need right now? Why not give it away!

Fundamentals: Buttercream Frosting
One of the most common questions that I get from my readers is about buttercream frosting, so I figured this would be the perfect topic for my second Fundamentals post.
Although I have made several types of buttercream frosting recipes, the recipe I am going post is by far my favorite due to its flavor, simplicity, and smooth texture. Essentially, this buttercream recipe can be infused with many different flavors to accompany your dessert.
There are many variations of recipes for buttercream; however, I prefer using unsalted butter for the fat component because I find it to be less greasy than buttercream made with shortening. However, to each their own, if you're a shortening fan, see the notes in the printable recipe box for this adaptation.
This frosting is extremely easy to pipe on and holds a shape very well. It will flow easily through a variety of piping tips. My favorite being the 1M from Wilton and the large round and large French tips from Bake It Pretty. With this basic buttercream recipe under your belt, you'll be well on your way to creating cake and cupcake masterpieces.
Fundamental Information
Basic Buttercream– This buttercream is, fast, simple and what you see on most grocery store cakes. It's essentially fat (butter, margarine, shortening), confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract whipped together.
Swiss Meringue Buttercream– This type of buttercream in made by cooking egg whites and sugar together in a bowl placed on a pot of boiling water. The mixture is continuously whisked while it reaches 140° F. The egg white and sugar mixture is then removed from the heat and whipped at high speed until it forms stiff peaks and has cooled.
Italian Buttercream– This buttercream is made by adding simple syrup, which is made by heating sugar and water (soft-ball stage) to the egg-whites and allowing the syrup to cook the egg whites and whipped to form stiff peaks.
Fundamental Gear
-big bowl
-electric mixer; if using a stand mixer I recommend the paddle attachment
-rubber spatula
Uses for Homemade Buttercream
-Frosting for cakes or cupcakes
-cupcake filling
-Sandwiched cookie filling
-Anything that has frosting on the top
Fundamental Additions
-citrus zest (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit)
-various extracts
-beautify your buttercream by adding a touch of gel dyes ( I prefer AmeriColor)
-Add in cocoa powder or melted chocolate
-garnish your buttercream with various sprinkles; just make sure you do this immediately after you frost your baked goods. Once the top layer of the buttercream crusts, nothing will stick
Buttercream Frosting
Yield: enough buttercream to frost 24 cupcakes or one 9 inch layer cake
- 4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- pinch of fine grain sea salt
- 1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract
- 2 pounds confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 4-6 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter until fluffy add in salt. Slowly add in confectioners' sugar, and continue creaming until well blended.
- Add salt, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk. Blend on low speed until moistened.
- Add an additional 1 to 3 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Beat at high speed until frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- This recipe will make enough frosting to generously frost 24 cupcakes or one 9 inch layer cake.
- You can easily adjust the consistency of this recipe by simply adding in more heavy cream or milk.
- If you are a fan of shortening in your buttercream. simply omit one stick of butter and replace with 1/2 cup shortening.
- Clear vanilla extract is used in this recipe to keep the frosting nice and white. If you don't mind a slight color change, feel free to use pure vanilla extract, but decrease the amount to 2 teaspoons.
- Covered and refrigerated frosting can be stored for up to three days. Simply bring it to room temperature and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. You may need to add a couple of teaspoons of heavy cream or milk to revive the consistency.
- If you choose to dye your frosting, go easy with the dye. Remember, you can always add more color, but you can't remove it.

Can you make a cream cheese butter cream icing, and how would you suggest doing that? Thank you!
I am happy to see that this is a crusting buttercream frosting since I was looking for one and had a hard time finding one that didn't use shortening!
How long should I let it sit before I can expect it to crust?
Looks like Bake It Pretty is closing down. Do you know where else those tips can be purchased?
Hey, I was just wondering what you, or anyone else would recommend to make my buttercream White? The butter always makes it yellow, and so it doesn't quite work for the creme egg effect :( xx
After your butter cream is prepared. this is crazy but it really does whiten the buttercream – Paddle in the stand mixer – turn the mixer on low speed – and let it stir the frosting for a minimum of 10 minutes 20 is better. It incorporates a lot of air into the frosting and it lightens the color to a very pale off white.
hope that helps.
You have to whip your buttercream for about 5-6 minutes on medium high speed once all the ingredients are it, and THEN it turns white because of the air whipped in the butter.
If you don't, it turns into a really thick, yellow, sickeningly sweet cookie dough consistency. That happened to me the first time I made buttercream. TRUST ME, you don't want to know. All butter is yellow…
Great frosting! Just made it this weekend for my son's bday cake. I did one batch with unsalted butter & one batch with salted butter (was out of unsalted). The salted butter batch came out less sweet (which we liked)!! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks!!
I made this butter cream the other day and it came out wonderful! A suggestion… maybe add some where in your posting that butter cream has to stay cool in order to keep its form. I am a beginner when coming to making butter cream and mine had a very thin texture right after making it and once I put it in the fridge for an hour it had the perfect consistency. It easily frosted 24 cupcakes and after frosting half of my cupcakes I added cocoa powder to make a chocolate butter cream. Over all I love this recipe, just wish I had known in advance it neeed to be kept cool but after finding that out I feel like I am better prepared. I will definitely be making more!
If it was thin, you probably added too much of the cream. I always start with the minimum amount a recipe says, and add additional as needed (to get the consistency I want). You can always make it thinner, but it's much harder to get it thick again. It shouldn't need to be cooled.
I made this but it seemed very runny? Not sure what I did wrong.
Seriously, these fundamental tutorials are AWESOME! I am new to cooking and baking, and I have made SO many mistakes that would have been solved if I knew a few of these tricks. Thank you for posting these for cooking newbies like me!
Thanks for this!! I'm about to make cupcakes for my daughter's birthday to share with her softball team. I'll need about that much frosting (if not more if I increase the amount of cupcakes by another dozen) Half will be chocolate (base to represent dirt) half will be dyed green for the grass. Then I'm making little cakeballs dipped in colored white chocolate for the softballs and if I'm so inspired, I'll make softball gloves out of melted Tootsie Rolls that are shaped. A lot of work, I know, but cheaper than a party for her 18th, right?
I just made this for some Easter cupcakes and it is AMAZING!!!!
This was my first time ever making homemade icing.
I am so excited for everyone to try their cupcakes with this absolutely incredible topping!
I had to stop myself from liking the spatula when I was finished.
I'm hoping refridger-ating for a day won't take anything away from its deliciousness!
Thanks so much!!!!!
4 sticks of butter seems like an awful lot. Is that correct?
How long would these be good if I served them a day after I've made the buttercream?
Used your fantastic buttercream on a batch of cupcakes tonight. Not sure if i got the measurements exact as out in Aus. we dont use sticks of butter but I was thrilled with the result all the same, and even more excited to have heaps left over!
This was a great recipe. Although, I followed your instructions on putting 1 tablespoon of vanilla in it and it tasted toooooooo much like vanilla.
Gonna try this frosting, excited because I hate the taste of the buttercream made with shortening! I do have a question, if your going to use flavor in your buttercream like extracts do you still add the vanilla also?
Hey, thanks for the recipe. I can't tell you how many different recipes I've tried. After countless tossed bowls of icing, I swore I'd never try again! But, one more time can't hurt. I was just wondering if this icing will harden, and remain hard at room temperature. :)
Hey, thank you for this wonderful post! I am very excited to try this rendition of traditional American buttercream (I hope it won't be too buttery—I like a subtle hint of it, not chock full!). I do have a question though—how many cups does this produce? I see it states it can cover 24 cupcakes, but I'm a novice :)
Making cupcakes for my son's birthday and needed a good buttercream frosting recipe. Sat down at the computer and found this – I love the internet, technology and bloggers!
This is delicious!
I made 1/2 the amount (kindergartners would just make a huge mess of all of it, right?!).
I read that 3 1/2 to 4 c. = 1 lb.
2 cups of powdered sugar worked fine for me to 1/2 the recipe. I frosted 26 cupcakes and I'm licking the bowl!
Thanks for sharing – delicious.
Hi there pounds makes how many cups or gms?
Hello! Thank you for this! I've always loved baking but I never *got* how to make buttercream frosting. I followed the recipe/s correctly but for some reason, the last buttercream frosting that I made melted and slid right off my banana cake just a few minutes after I piped it on the cake. I'm not sure if I have to refrigerate the frosting before I pipe it on the cake or something since NONE of the many recipes I've read mentioned it. I'm not sure if climate has something to do with it since I live in a tropical country where the normal temperature nearly all year round is 32 deg C. Any advice please?
I am sorry you had some issues with the recipe. Typically, refrigeration isn't necessary, so you may first want to try adding the entire amount of powder sugar and then the heavy cream so you can judge the consistency. This allows you to adjust accordingly. Hope this was helpful! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
This frosting is fantastic! The notes were very helpful.
This is by far the most delicious buttercream recipe I have ever used. Delicious! Infinitely better than the Wilton recipe I had been using. I used high quality vanilla extract DOUBLE strength from Penzeys & I think that really added to the flavor as I still used 1 tablespoon. To my knowledge, clear vanilla extract is all imitation? Thanks so much for the recipe!
Thank you for this!! Your recipe told me why mine wasn't allowing my grass to be … well, grassy. It was coming out too mushy. Added some more powdered sugar and that did the trick! Thank you for sharing your recipes!!! :)
can you freeze the extra frosting?
So I have never made my own buttercream before, but I just made 2 batches of this. One batch I added marshmallow extract and I am going to use it for both marshmallow crème filled and mallow cup filled cupcakes. The other batch I added peanut butter flavoring as well as real peanut butter and I am going to use it for the reese's cup stuffed cupcakes. Both variations turned out great, can't wait to see how my son's birthday guests like them at his 5th birthday party this weekend! Thanks for the "how to."
So here I am again over a year later looking to make more butter cream for birthday cupcakes! This time around it is for my daughter's 2nd birthday party tomorrow. She is really a 12-12-12 baby, but we are celebrating early this year. This time I am making almond flavored butter cream for chocolate almond cupckakes. Not only does the almond buttercream smell amazing, it tastes great too. As for the marshmallow buttercream and peanut butter buttercream I did for my son last year, I can't say enough how delicious they both turned out, but the peanut butter icing was by far a favorite!!! Will come back to this recipe over and over again!
I was wondering if I use this recipe to frost and decorate my sons birthday cake then put it in the fridge overnight, will the icing be hard when i pull it out for the party the next day?
I am baking cupcakes for a bridal shower held a few towns over from me. The party planners would like the cupcakes decorated at the location so that none of them get messed up in the drive. I won't be able to remix the frosting when there and am wondering if it will pipe out ok if I refrigerate it at home in a bowl and scoop it into the pastry bags on site? I'm thinking that the icing will go to room temp in the drive over. Should it hold up or do you have any pointers on what to do? I want it to hold its consistency so that the piping is defined, not be soggy looking or to hard to pipe. Thanks!
This has just become one of my favorite blogs. I too have a baking addiction.
Hi, just wanted to know what is the substitute for sea salt in case its not available? Your blog is very informative especially to a newbie like me. Thanks for sharing! :)
We made this today and it turned out absolutely perfect and delicious! We added cocoa powder to make it chocolate buttercream and it's divine! Thanks so much!!!
Hi Jamie. I have a question.. tomorrow I will be making 500 cupcakes for the next day so I will also make this buttercream frosting recipe tomorrow as well. Will the frosting still be okay so put on the cupcakes the following day?? Thanks!! I am Age:13 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE to bake!! :)
Hi Jamie,
I love your website! I looked through the comments, but couldn't find one that asked this question: how much cocoa would you add to this recipe to get chocolate buttercream icing? I know tastes vary, but how much do you use when you do it, and do you prefer cocoa or melted chocolate for the best flavor? Thanks so much for these wonderful recipes. I've tried several and my family thinks I'm the best baker ever ;-).
Does a cake frosted with this recipe need to be refrigerated after frosting it? There are several comments about needing to refrigerate the frosting in order to "set" it up. Thanks!
Does anyone know of a way to avoid having to refrigerate a cake with buttercream frosting that doesn't involve using shortening? I'm still a novice at this stuff:)
HI Jamie
I just gave a shout out to this recipe on my blog. I tweaked it because I notoriously can't follow a recipe, but it worked! Thanks for the inspiration! laura
YUMMMM… So stinkin good! It even pipes! And doesn't taste like plastic. Big big hit here at our house!
4 sticks of butter? Isn't that a kilogram? Or is a stick different to what I'm thinking? By the way I LOVE your website! It combines so many of my favourite things, namely, ice cream, cheesecake, caramel, nutella and oreos! I'm going to try out your rolo ice cream and nutella butercream tomorrow, and I'm really looking foward to it! But yeah, I need a bit of a hand on these quantities… Thanks!
Girl, you are soooooo talented!! I am a subscriber to your YouTube and your blog–you are a blessing to us that want to learn and Iove that you find the time to answer us!!
So, I have always made Wilton bc, SMBC and ABC but I just failed "I am Baker's " ABC on the patriotic rose cake–disaster!! I had to add so much paste [wilton bcause I was out of Americolor] and still did not get the correct color! It started seperating! you could see the shortening in the icing, ugh! Jamie, any advice?
hi, the buttercream I have made isn't soft enough for piping roses. it pipes stars great and they hold their shape. But I find its too stiff to pipe a rose as it doesn't flow out of the bag it just sits exactly where I put it. Am I not beating it for long enough?
Please help!
Hi Jamie!
I love you site, have been baking a few recipes from your site too, and i really love them. :) can i just check, if have a party th following day, would it be okay for me to frost the cupcakes tomorrow and leave them overnight in room temp? Or do i have to chill th frosted cupcakes in the fridge?
Thank you for your help! :)
Love your work and your an inspiration to all of us.
Could you please convert 4 sticks of butter into Australian measurement.
We don't have 'sticks' of butter in NZ. What measurement would 1 stick be in grams? Thanks
What a great post! Love me a good butter cream!!! All your tips are fabulous
help! I make butter cream frosting for my cakes/ cupcakes, I use butter not shortening, why does my cakes/cupcakes have a crunchy texture after they sit awhile without being cover, what can I do to gave smooth creamy texture like in the stores.
Could you use this frosting on brownie cupcakes? Or if not can u recommend a frosting that is not peanut butter that could go with the brownie cupcakes?
Thank you for this! I got a buttercream recipe off of Pinterest that totally was horrible when I made it! I made it twice and the first time the milk made it brake down and the second it didn't harden. I have it my fridge hoping it will but it's not. I have a wedding that I am making 120 cupcakes for and not wanting to use store bought. I'm a little discouraged but I will try this.
I love this receipt. I would love to make it a maple buttercream. Can I add Maple syrup to it or just use maple extract?
I have a quick question, I am making a 2 layer 9 inch cake and your recipe states this will cover one 9 inch cake. I am stacking them so will I need a second batch of frosting?
I would like to know how much cream cheese would you add to make this into a cream cheese buttercream frosting and I still want to use the heavy cream. Thank you.
I have a question, and hoping for an answer How is it there is an "Italian Buttercream" frosting when there isn't anything Italian in it? Just curious how the 'Italian' term came to be. I've asked Italian friend this question and they had grandmothers that were born, raised, and lived their entire lives in Italy. Neither do their siblings understand why term "Italian" is loosely used.
Thank you ~ Michelle

We've seen these cruise-for-a-quid promotions before, most recently with MSC Cruises. And it sounds like a great deal for families and friends looking to cruise the Mediterranean on the cheap.
But is there a catch?
The Deal
Passengers can pick from two 10-day "Mediterranean Jewels" sailings -- roundtrip Marseille departing 29 August or 28 October -- aboard the 15,781-ton, 912-passenger Orient Queen. The £1 offer is being extended to third and fourth passengers sharing a cabin with two full-fare paying adults. The port-heavy itinerary includes visits to Genoa, Naples, Athens, Kusadasi, Patmos, Mykonos, Santorini, Katakolon and Messina.
The offer is available on a range of three- and four-berth cabins, with per-person fares for the first two passengers starting at £439 for an inside cabin on the October cruise and £459 for the August sailing. A spokesperson for the line tells us that roughly 200 cabins are eligible (categories L, J, I, F, D, A); suites are not included in this deal.
The Fine Print
Sounds like a bargain, right? Well, there are a few things to consider:
First off, if the third or fourth passengers in a cabin are under the age of 18, they already sail at vastly reduced rates with Louis. For the August cruise, brochure rates for the under-18's are £99 per person (as opposed to £369 per person for third and fourth adults). So when a family is involved, the deal becomes slightly less special.
Passengers wishing to take advantage of the deal have to book the brochure rates. So if you find a great fare for a particular date, you won't be able to combine that deal with this one.
Of course, flights to Marseille will be extra -- Louis only offers cruise-only packages.
Finally, there are only eight four-berth cabins available at the lowest rate (category L, lowest deck, inside cabin) and prices do jump somewhat quickly as you work your way up through the cabin categories. For example, the best category eligible for the deal, an outside superior, starts at £949 per person for the first two passengers -- and not all of those have third or fourth bunks.
The Bottom Line?
Despite the qualifiers, for the right group of travelers, the deal is still pretty impressive.
If you can snag one of the cheapest accommodations, four adult friends can enjoy the 10-night August cruise for £920 total. That's an impressively low £23 per person, per day, for all meals and onboard entertainment (port taxes are included). Likewise, families sharing a cabin can save a couple hundred pounds.
So some savvy shopping could score you a great deal -- and an Eastern Mediterranean cruise in late August/early September is a fine time to sail, past the most oppressively hot and crowded July and early August high season, but still warm and sunny. October will be chillier, but not bad weather for sightseeing -- plus the cruise fares for the first two guests will be slightly cheaper.

When working with a child who is easily distracted and seems hyperactive, it's reasonable to wonder if the child has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). But, it may be just as reasonable to wonder if the child is gifted, according to a recent study in the Roeper Review.
"Some researchers suspect that gifted children are disproportionately singled out for ADHD evaluations," write the researchers. "Gifted individuals often have unusually high energy levels, vivid imaginations, and highly sensitive and emotional dispositions. Within the gifted population, these behaviors could be indicative of ADHD or they could be indicative of a concept known as overexcitabilities."
In this study of 116 gifted adolescent students attending a summer program for the gifted, researchers found that students flagged as having symptoms of ADHD with Conners' ADHD/DSM-IV Scales Adolescent also scored highly on the Overexcitabilities Questionnaire-Two (OEQ-II).
Individuals with overexcitabilities (or intensities and sensitivities) take in and process larger than usual amounts of stimuli from the environment, the study says. The more pronounced experiences of children with overexcitabilities leads to enhanced developmental potential, according to Polish psychiatrist Kazimierz Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration.
These individuals frequently question or come into conflict with accepted social mores and reach a higher level of personal development through the process of positive disintegration and reintegration to resolve conflicts between their inner values and society's values.
There are 5 over-excitabilities in the way individuals experience the world, according to Dabrowski:
- Sensual —heightened pleasures of the senses
- Imaginational—vivid and detailed fantasies and use of imagery
- Psychomotor—extreme activity and energy
- Intellectual—having a deep need for knowledge and problem solving
- Emotional—extreme emotional sensitivity.
The Overexcitibilities Questionnaire—Two (OEQ-II) was designed to measure the 5 forms of overexcitability. Students answered 50-self-report items using a 5-point Likert scale with responses ranging from 1 (not at much like me). High scores indicate higher levels of overexcitability.
The study found significant correlations between the psychomotor overexcitability scores and ADHD scores and and between the sensual overexcitability scores and ADHD scores. There was a pronounced correlation between imaginational overexcitability and scores for ADHD on the Conners measure, the authors write. This means that individuals with imaginal overexcitability are most likely to display symptoms characteristic of ADHD which would increase the likelihood of an ADHD misdiagnosis or diagnosis.
"These relationships should not be mistaken for actual misdiagnosis," the researchers write. "Rather, the authors hope to illuminate the potential relationship between characteristics of overexcitabilities and symptoms of ADHD."

On a stormy October evening, a letter, a late night trip to the library and a secret conversation lead Lily Evans to discover that there are several mysteries in her life that only she has the capability and the inclination to solve. The first mystery is James Potter – what could turn him from the arrogant, could-care-less boy that she had previously known to someone withdrawn and far away? Then, perhaps more troubling, there is Esther Collins, the fifth year who has vanished without a trace. Furthermore, one of Lily's best friends, Izza, is seeing a mystery boy and Lily is determined to know who.
Then there is the threat of war, backstabbing friends and NEWT's. A disinherited and emotionally battered Sirius Black is the source of heartache for his friends, except perhaps Izza, who, with her own terrifying family, might just understand him. Lily's closest male friend, Remus Lupin, is hiding a dangerous secret from her. Peter's girlfriend is screwing him over, and the whole time Lily is struggling to stop the people she loves from coming apart at the seams.
m m
Trick or Treat!
3. She clicks on her mouse and swipes her wand;
Some stories go up, and some stories are gone.
Stories of her own? Why, she has plenty!
Fewer than one-hundred, but far more than twenty.
James Potter has changed: no longer an arrogant, irresponsible prankster, he has matured into a responsible Head Boy with tops marks in Transfiguration. Lily Evans has changed as well: normally studious and in control, she has lost focus as she struggles with Head Girl responsibilities and N.E.W.T level studies. An unexpected encounter in the corridors one weekend leads to several startling realizations, the least of which is that things have definitely changed between James Potter and Lily Evans.
This story was nominated for a 2010 QSQ and is now complete.

"The quality of the picture and magnet far exceeded my expectations! Thrilled with everything about my first wedding paper divas experience! Will be using again."
"Working with the designer on color scheme was fast and simple. The magnet looked exactly like the print that was sent to me before approving. I could argue I would prefer a slightly smaller sized magnet, but honestly it was great and am very happy with the purchase."
"We loved these when they showed up and everyone can put them up on a metal surface like a fridge. No losing them and a great reminder to save the date. Great quality."
"I knew I wanted to do a calendar magnet and when I saw this I was a bit concerned about which photo to use. But getting the proofs back quickly and efficiently help me make the perfect Save the Dates. I cannot even tell you how many compliments I got on this card. I still keep mine hanging up because I love it!"

As a golden summer draws to a close, cricket is aiming to strike back at the football codes with a new, national talent program that targets children from the moment they are old enough to pick up a bat or ball.
The revamp of cricket's pathway is headed by Belinda Clark, the former Australian captain who runs the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane.
Clark said cricket had to seize on the renewed interest sparked by Australia's Ashes success and the boosted profile of the Big Bash League on free-to-air television.
She and Cricket Australia's senior manager of game development, John Watkin, said it was often too late to capture the imagination of budding sportspeople when they were in their mid- to late-teens.
''I think it is a really important time for us to capitalise on that [the summer success], but we have been working on this for eight or nine months and we couldn't have foreseen the Ashes result or the bonanza that has been the BBL,'' Clark said.
''We needed to do it anyway but that has provided us with a bit more oomph.''
Watkin said: ''If we wait until a kid is 15 or 16, we're going to miss talent. It has become very obvious in the last five years, a lot of cricketers who could have easily played cricket but went to AFL.
''In NSW, with Greater Western Sydney, or Queensland with the Gold Coast, there is a massive investment by AFL [for the] long, long term and that has made us realise we have got to compete for talent here.''
Two members of Australia's squad for the under-19 World Cup, which starts in the United Arab Emirates next week, are also talented footballers. Rookie fast bowler Guy Walker was on the Calder Cannons list last season and top-order batsman Matt Short played for the North Ballarat Rebels the previous year.
But CA wants to grab the attention of both sexes much younger, long before factors like money and fame come into their thinking. Part of the revamp is a deal with School Sports Australia, which promotes the CA-funded T20 Blast for both sexes and runs elite carnivals.
''I played for a long time and I was never going to make a living out of it and that didn't affect my motivation,'' said Clark, who was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame last month. For a whole range of people, back when they are five, six, seven years old, that's when they start dreaming.
''Part of enjoying sport is feeling like you are getting better. Most kids if they're not going to be champions, they need to see that they're getting better, that one day they can bowl with a straight arm and get it down the other end. That's a win.
''It's the same at the elite end, how do we make sure everyone in a SSA team have got good coaches, they're developing and they're improving? Other sports are offering that. I'm not saying cricket doesn't, but we need to be better than every other sport.
''At what point do we start talking to kids about tactics, leadership? We're making sure everything is connected from the minute a kid picks up a bat or a ball all the way through, and that we don't get to the very end and find we've got skill gaps.''
Clark says the BBL is a powerful attraction, with 1.4 million people tuning in for Friday night's final in Perth.
''There are examples of boys choosing cricket and examples of boys choosing football. You win some and you lose some,'' she said. ''What we need to be clear on is that cricket is a viable option and BBL is part of that.''

Resources to keep your children's immunizations up-to-date
Making sure that children of all ages receive all their vaccinations on time is one of the most important things parents can do to ensure their children's long-term health―as well as the health of friends, classmates, and others in the community.
It's true that some vaccine-preventable diseases have become very rare thanks to vaccines. However, outbreaks still happen. For example, preliminary data through late July 2012 show that more than 20,000 cases of whooping cough (pertussis) have already been reported in this country and many more cases go unreported. During this time, 9 deaths have been reported—all in children younger than 1 year of age. Outbreaks of pertussis at middle and high schools can occur as protection from childhood vaccines fades.
Another disease that can spread very easily in a school environment is measles. In 2011, the number of reported cases of measles was higher than usual—222 people had the disease. Measles comes into the United States from countries where the disease still circulates, including many European countries. Measles can be serious, causing hospitalization and even death. Young children are at highest risk for serious complications from measles.
Making sure children stay up-to-date with vaccinations is the best way to make sure our communities and schools do not see other outbreaks, with more unnecessary illnesses and deaths.
Recommended Immunizations:
Children Birth - 6 Years
Children 7 - 18 Years
DAP Vaccine for Preteens and Teens

I am looking to purchase my first Lever action but I'm stuck trying to figure out what caliber to get it in. I'm looking to spend under 500.00 and I have been looking at a few Marlins because I've heard good things about them.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
I have Brownings, Savage 99, Marlins and Winchesters. For a rough use lever gun I would take the Mdl. 94 30-30 Winchester. They are flatter lighter and with a good quality rear peep they are very reliable. The rimmed weak 30 WCF case can and does jam in any lever gun. The Winchesters open top action allows the use of a hunting knife to remove stuborn ammo. Try to clear the closed Marlin from the side is much more difficult. The Mdl. 94 can be flushed clean of snow mud or sand than the round bolt closed Marlin. There is a reason the Winchester is the choice of Rocky Mtn. back country folks.:)
I love my Winchester 94 and the 30 30 round in general.I've had Marlins and other than the ease of scope mounting I see no real plus. But where I would use a lever rifle is in places where shots over 150 yds is pretty uncommon here in the hills of Ky. So really glass does not mean much to me at those distances. Plus that's just something else to hang in the brush. With the Hornady lever Evolution ammo my old Winchester works even better. Truth be told I've had no issue with any Marlin lever rifle though feeding or otherwise. I just prefer the way the Winchester feels. They seem a little thinner on the forearm and that feels better to me. I do think the Winchesters action is more smooth. Either the Winchester or the Marlin come in under the 500.00 mark. The pre 64 94's are a little higher than the post 64 models.
Had a 44 mag Marlin 1894 that I really liked for a while. It's a pretty good round for a lever rifle too.
The thutty thutty is the most common an reliable lever cart'dge .... its been killin stuff for generations.
other popular ones here in Aus are 45-70, 357 and 44mag .
if you reload the options are a bit broader as ammo availability isnt such a restrictor.
i love my 94 .375win an a 444marlin would of been cool also.
Or get a lever .22. In a centerfire rifle my vote would also be for the Winchester. In 30-30 naturally.
I prefer the Marlin. I've never had feed or extraction issues. Accuracy has been better than I've gotten out of '94 Winchesters. Stripping for maintenance is easier with the Marlin.
The one plus with Marlin is they offer models with a cross bolt safety in addition to the half cock. I have a 336 and really like the safety for still hunting.
Since you don't need the gun/have no particular use for it as evidenced by your not answering the first gun-related question to answer first, get a Browning .22 lever. Better yet -- a .22 Mag. Maybe a Marlin. Maybe a Henry!? Winchester went out of business for a reason. Just stay away from the Ruger .22/96 lever.
Winchester out of Biz? They have been making Winchesters for a 150 years and they are still being made. Many products have changed ownership and location over time. The Winchester Mdl. 94 30-30 is still being made.
As for changes I can not imagine needing a safety on a Lever Action rifle. But we have new shooters today who are not well trained in gun handling. They must be protected against themselves.:rolleyes:
my preference is a marlin in 45-70. i may get one in 45colt at some point
i vastly prefer the side eject over the top eject. ive got a xs sight rail i put on mine. it greatly increased the sight radius which is a great thing and lets me use a qd scope mount and still have readily accessed iron sights.
ignore the acog
you cant really do that with a top eject. you pretty much stuck with factory leaf and blade sights.

Perhaps it's an old reporter habit — hold on... can I make that "a reporter's old habit"? — but when something goes wrong, I look for patterns. Those patterns often turn out to be the story.
As I've read through the many e-mails and notes I've gotten since I wrote about restaurants last week and have taken a closer look at who's making it and who isn't, I've noticed something of a pattern.
The small, home-grown, strictly ethnic restaurants seem to be doing okay, while many of the small, down-home, meat-and-potatoes places seem to be struggling.
I've talked with patrons, servers, owners, friends and colleagues and have come up with a theory.
(The big chains are an entirely different story I'll leave for a future rumination.)
The theory is that because of the economy, dining out has gone back to being something of a special event, and when people go out, they often want stuff that they can't make for themselves at home.
Like sushi and sashimi.
Asian (who has the patience to make kimchi?).
Authentic TexMex.
Cuban. Greek (especially gyros — who owns a vertical spit to make the meat?). Specialty Chinese and Italian (not run-of-the-mill stuff, please). Slow-cooked barbecued ribs and pork.
Many people have stopped going out for a steak because they can grill a great steak for themselves at home, even on a stove top, no charcoal needed.
If you've watched the meat specials in the grocery fliers lately, you've noticed the cheaper prices on primo steaks, reportedly because of the shrinking market for steaks in restaurants. (I recently paid $6.99 a pound for some delicious sirloins at Publix.)
It's telling that two of the most prominent restaurant closings in west Pasco County lately have been Outback Steakhouse and Sam Seltzer's Steakhouse.
It's also telling that Kazu's Sushi & Japanese Cuisine in Port Richey has expanded to seven days a week, now opening from noon to 8 p.m. on Sundays and 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays, in addition to the other five days they've been open since 2004, almost entirely because of customer demand.
Owner/chef Kazunobu Miyazato has wisely kept his place small — 32 seats at tables, plus eight or 10 more at the bar — so he could maintain tight control over quality, and there simply weren't enough hours in five days to accommodate the people who wanted to go there. (Hint: Early weekday afternoons are best; prepare to wait on the weekends.)
Kazu's has always had a loyal clientele, so the closing of the nearby Circuit City and Target didn't hurt, but the quest for "special" dining experiences has brought even more people to the small restaurant in recent months. Where else can you get Azuki Bean or Green Tea ice cream?
As a recent healthy food convert, I'm grateful for the edamame (cooked soybeans), miso soup, the seaweed, avocado, crab and tofu salad, and Japanese green tea or mugichi (barley tea), which read like a list of the things I should have been eating all along.
On the cultural front
It was heartening and plain ol' lots of fun to squeeze into the Town Ground Espresso Cafe in Longleaf last week with more than 50 other poetry buffs for the fourth annual Jacaranda Poetry Festival.
The Pasco Arts Council's contest drew more than 100 entries, and the audience sat with rapt attention as the eight top winners read their entries, followed by readings by several other writers.
There's something very special about hearing a poet read his or her own work. The council's resident poet, Bob Zappacosta, is already working on several projects to be held or presented during National Poetry Month in April.
Some tragic sadness
I've been covering theater in Pasco, Pinellas and Hernando counties for almost two decades and have watched many child actors grow into adults right before my eyes.
As I've sat in the darkness watching them create characters on a lighted stage; I've often felt I've gotten to know them. But I learned this week that this is really just part of the theater's illusion; the characters an actor plays tell very little about the actor himself.
The realization came during a memorial service for George Germann Jr., who inexplicably died in his sleep sometime during the night of May 18, at the age of only 28 years.
I'd watched Georgie since 1993, when he played one of the orphan kids in Stage West Community Playhouse's Oliver! at Springstead Theatre, before the theater's current building was even built. He played in many shows since then, but I most remember him as the dour young member of Hitler Youth in Cabaret, the groveling Renfield in Dracula, and the happy-go-lucky Jack in the musical Into the Woods.
These are three markedly different characters, but young Germann gave each his all, earning three HAMI awards in the process.
I hope the other actors will forgive me if I say that Georgie was the only saving grace in the otherwise, well, pretty awful Dracula.
"...the script's potential comes through only in the performances of young George Germann as sanatorium resident R.M. Renfield..." I wrote back in September 1999.
"Germann understands how this play should be played: straight on, with feeling. He is animated, expressive and convincing as he wrestles with his conscience over whether to betray Dracula, the master who promised him eternal life in the flesh, or betray God, who holds his immortal soul.
"If all the players could infuse their characters with the same sincerity and sense of urgency as Germann, this play could work."
By what many people said during a memorial gathering for him at Stage West on Monday evening, Georgie also gave his all to nurturing his friendships. One after another, they came forward with wonderful stories about how he helped them in their times of need, what a fine young man he had become, what a funny and lovable fellow he was, how loyal and devoted he was, what a terrific son, brother, husband and friend he had always been.
I've been to many memorials, but I can't recall one where so much love, admiration and gratitude was expressed.
My heart goes out to his mom Leanne, dad George Sr., brother Jeff, sister Amy, lovely young widow, Connie, and the many, many friends who agreed that Georgie was one of a kind — the kind you always want in your life.

Date of Defense 2011-11-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractCoal bed methane which has formed in the Tertiary Kenai Group strata has been produced from the Ninilchik field of Cook Inlet, Alaska since 2001. Ninilchik field is located on the eastern margin of the central Cook Inlet along the Kenai Peninsula. Cook Inlet is a forearc basin and is characterized by northeast trending anticlines with upwards of 10,000 feet of Late Oligocene and younger, non-marine sediments. Highly variable well production within the Oligocene to Miocene Tyonek formation of the Kenai Group has been a source of uncertainty.
A series of seismic attributes visualized in Schlumberger's Petrel® software were studied on a 3D seismic volume to investigate potential structural and stratigraphic controls for the observed, variable well production. Geometrical seismic attributes, such as variance/coherence, dip, and azimuth, are the primary attributes used in pattern recognition to investigate the formation properties near well locations. Production data were integrated with the seismic attributes on five distinct well groups targeting sand reservoirs in the Tyonek formation.
A complete seismic attribute evaluation for all well groups is not feasible due to some data quality issues. Overall, structural properties such as folding and faulting are large scale enough to be confidently imaged by seismic attributes. Amplitude or envelope strength mapping to detect fluid changes poses problems in the coal-dominated stratigraphy. No correlation between the source rock thickness and well production quality is evident from log analysis. Variance volumes co-rendered with the ant tracking attribute, a method for enhancing geologic discontinuities, are shown to be useful for highlighting faults in low signal to noise seismic. Bottom-hole locations nearest the anticline fold axis tend to have the highest production histories due to the increased stresses and faulting near the fold crest.

Fine piece of shit
another frustrated buyer has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
Phone doesn't come with a software of its own, so you need to purchase a "USB dongle" or a bluetooth mini-adapter. Which I've done. But it still gives me trouble. Tried from 2 computers -- computer A somehow was able to pair with my phone, but couldn't transfer files. Computer B, a total waste of time...
Bottom line, won't ever -- like NEVER EVER -- purchase any ZTE product. It stinks.
As for the texting -- sends twice or more the same message. Sometimes it won't even send it, and some other it will even lose reception at random. This is seriously a very poorly designed piece of crap.Build quality 3/10Reception 3/10Call quality 3/10Internet 1/10Multimedia 2/10Camera 1/10UI speed 1/10Everyday usage 2/10Text input 2/10Display 2/10Battery 2/10

I have had this phone for a while, it loses all your information and then the company gives you some half assed 800 number and you call it, you get an answering machine, no one ever answers or gets back to you, there is no back up system and no reliability to this company, I only used it because I had no choice, Now that I have a choice I am going to a better company.Design 5/10Features 1/10Performance 1/10

BAD PhONe
This is the most unrelieable phone I have every bought, its turns off when you are on a call, i have took this phone back over 4 times, 3 times I had to exhange it for another phone, but Metro PCS would not let me purchase another type of phone ( I would have to pay for a new one) then they charge $10.00 dollars and you have to wait 3 days for a exchange but you will not have a borrowed phone to use from Metro Pcs, or you can purchase another phone from them for $30 dollars the same day, talking about a reap off,,, i would like to know who make these phones so i can go straight to there company to complain,,, and maybe I can get my money back to purchase a new phone,,, I HATE THIS PHONE, I don,t have money to keep giving them to keep changeing to another phone and its the same messed up phone,Design 1/10Features 1/10Performance 1/10

I was very dissapointed with this phone the first few days after i bought it, but now i love it. The gps is great for my job (bicycle courier), and this thing is tough. It fell out of my pocket during rush hour in center city philadelphia and was run over by a cab. When i picked it up and pressed a key to see if it worked, it was fine! the screen wasnt even damaged.

A complete waste of money
this phone is horrible. i had it less than 3 hours before i wanted to take it back. but metro pcs will not return "upgrade" phones. It constantly misses calls and text messages . there are no drivers to connect it to a computer. you cannot program any of the keys so texting becomes tedious.and even the slightest impact , such as settign it down, can cause it to restart. when it does connect the connection is poor . complete waste of moneyDesign 6/10Features 4/10Performance 2/10

- misses many calls and text messages. phone resets with slightest impact. NO DRIVERS so it cannot communicate with computer.poor reception when it does get calls.cannot program any keys . Entire texting experience becomes tedious because of poor software design.

I am satisfied with the product
I have had my ZTE C78 cell for over a month, and I have not had any problems with it. It has not turned off/on and things like this as some of the other people have said. I also think it's a pretty durable phone, my husband made the goofy mistake of leaving it on the roof of our car & driving off!! The phone slid across the roof, down the windshield & slammed to the ground & to our amazment, has continued to work with no problems.Design 5/10Features 6/10Performance 8/10

C78 issues
I purchased 2 of these phones as replacments for my kids old Nokia phones. One started turning off and back on after 4 days and the other started doing the same thing after a week and a half. The second phone turns off when you set the keypad lock aout every fourth time. The people at the Metro store said they had not had a problem with these phones at all and that is why I purchased them. We will be exchanging the phones this weekend.Design 4/10Features 6/10Performance 1/10

ZTE c78 horrible.
I have purchused a c78 and it worked fine for less than a week. The design must have a faul. The phone will turn off then back on when ever its wants. Even with proper charging use, also I called tech support and they said the phones go into a power cycling mode. What they did not say is that it will not come out of it. If you have purchused this modle of ZTE phone return it and get another one

We announced a new, free desktop media player at NAB today called the Adobe Media Player, which will be available for download as a prerelease on Adobe Labs later this year. It's one of the first Apollo applications from Adobe, and it's exciting to see us working on such a great showcase application. Yes, you can download and play your Flash videos straight from the desktop!
It's been one of those long standing requests from the community that we provide some way to play FLV content back in an "official" standalone player. But Adobe Media Player is much more than a simple standalone FLV Player – it rounds out our internet video offerings by providing a new way for content providers to deliver their content, and end-users to access their favorite TV shows and video podcasts in the web's most popular video format. More info in the press release and the FAQ on Adobe Labs.
Of course, Flash Player continues to be the preferred choice for streaming content within the browser, and the team is working with the Flash Media Server and Apollo teams to deliver enhancements. We're working on further improving the quality and performance of full screen viewing, and you'll see that show up in a future update to Flash Player 9 as well as Apollo (which means, of course, Adobe Media Player can take advantage of it for high-fidelity video playback.) We'll also support the encrypted streaming enhancements mentioned in the media player press release, in a Flash Player 9 update later this year.
Stay tuned to Adobe Labs for the prerelease of Adobe Media Player!

And Drudge.
In any court of law in America, this is commonly known as "kidnapping". Typically a major felony offense that usually will get quite a few years in a hardcore penitentiary.
Will that happen in this case?
Do we really need to consult Vegas odds-makers on this one?????
I hope the lawyers at the Orlando Sentinel have a field day with the whole lot of them…all the way up to the Vice Doofus himself!
UPDATE: (0700 28 Mar 2011): It seems that Camp Biden feels sowwy for their boo boo and apparently apologizes here. Will the Orlando Sentinel sue, I certainly hope so. Will Scott Powers sue, he damn well should. Will it happen? See my reference to the Vegas odds-makers above.

Actually $? is not a boolean. As documented in perlvar, it is the return code of the last system call. That is 0 for success, and all else is an error. If the error is under 256, then it is a system error. If the error is over, then divide by 256 and you have the program's return code. The return code of your programs are set by exit, are 0 by default, and are set from $? on a die.
Unfortunately that means that every program has its own possible meanings for exit codes. Traditionally, however, 1 means "Error, but not an important one" and 2 means "Bad error". For instance rm on my system will return 1 if you don't give it any files to delete, but a 2 if you try to delete something and it can't.

From Tyler, the Creator's 2015 album Cherry Bomb, the second half of "Fucking Young / Perfect" comes to life in a new music video, directed by his alter-ego Wolf Haley. While Tyler, the Creator sings about a potential love who's six years younger and therefore too "Fucking Young," Kali Uchis takes the reins in the duet "Perfect" and chides the boy for being scared. Mirroring the two sides of the story, the music video splits the screen between Kali Uchis and Tyler, the Creator—who's covered in real butterflies. High school senior Austin Feinstein (of LA band Slow Hollows) strums guitar on the boys' side, too.

Sound — 10
The Clash is probaly the best punk band ever and this cd proves it. This cd is a decication to Joe Strummer, 1952-2002. It was made while Joe and his band were making their third cd Streetcore. Now about the sound, it is remastered so you do have to worry about bad quality. First of all I have to mention how great Joe Strummer is. Joe, as most of you know, is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. His voice was a hight light of the band. Some people might say that Tim Armstrong copyed his voice but if he really was he wasn't even close. Joe's voice is hard to explain. It's really punk at times and is very powerfull. Then theres Mick Jones. The greatest riff maker. Mick Jones was back up vocals and lead guitarist. His solos were amazing! The solos on Complete Control,Groovy Times,and ect where awesome. His voice was very pop like and not what you'd expect from a guy in a punk band. His voice is good though, Im not trying to down size his singing. Then theres Paul Simmon who plays bass and sang on some (The Gun's of Brixton, which he wrote). Paul didn't know how to play bass when he join The Clash so Mick Jones taught him. Paul did have some good bass lines like in The Gun's of Brixton,Lost in the Supermarket,and The Magnificent Seven. His voice sounds just like Joe Strummer's voice just more easy to understand. The Clash had two on and off drummers(Tory Crimes and Mickey "Topper" Headon)who sometimes weren't the greatest. Topper was my favorite of the two but he broke up The Clash with his drugs.
Lyrics — 10
The lyrics The Clash had were truely great. From talking about the working class to warfare to love, they ruled all writing styles. The lyrics went great with the guitar, bass, and even drums! Kind of odd but true. The Clash inspired many with their lyrics like Rage Against the Manchine, Rancid and U2. The singing was great like I mentioned early. Joe Strummer and Mick Jones were a powerful force.
Overall Impression — 10
This is truly a great cd. It has just about all the great songs from The Clash(Uk and Us versions), Give Em' Enough Rope, London Calling, Sandinista!, Super Black Market Clash, Combat Rock and Cut The Crap. The best songs on the cd is the whole first cd and second cd except Stop the World(too weird and the vocals are almost in the background)and Ivan Meets G. I. Joe (I like it but the chorus is very annoying and the arcade in the background is not that good but I like the piano). My absolute favorites are London's Burning, Career Opportunities, Safe European Home, Groovy Times, Rudie Can't Fail, Lost in the Supermarket, Police on My Back, The Magnificent Seven, Train In Vain, Somebody Got Murdered, Straight To Hell and This Is England. If it were stolen I would buy another or two just in case.

Looking East for inspiration
By Arts Correspondent Razia Iqbal
The 13th Century Sufi poet, Jalaludin Rumi, is enjoying an unexpected renaissance, embraced by such Hollywood celebrities as Madonna and Demi Moore.
A collection of his work has been a best-seller for several months in the United States and Europe, selling more than half-a-million copies - a rarity for poetry, and particularly in America, where poetry tends to sell poorly.
Jalaudin Rum was born in the year 1207 in present day Agfhanistan, but what was then the Persian empire.
He had a phenomenal following as a mystic and poet in his own lifetime, and 700 years later he has staged a comeback.
A recent CD of his love poems has also been hugely succesful, with the likes of pop-star Madonna, the actresses, Demi Moore and Goldie Hawn, among those reciting.
In search of new heroes
Peter Culshaw, a freelance writer and musician, says the new interest in Rumi may have something to do with Americans wanting to find a replacement for the New Age movement, which focuses on alternative lifestyles.
"My guess is that people are getting fed up with New Age gurus, who are rather making it up as they go along. But there is still the same urge towards something spiritual and mystical and so with Rumi, there is a tradition there, which gives it depth."
His poetry may be endorsed by Hollywood, the pop world, and latter day gurus and mystics, but essentially, Rumi was a great teacher and respected mystic.
He didn't take poetry very seriously.
For him, it was almost a by-product of his spirituality; something that might help him along the spritual road, but not the main thing.
And so it is with Coleman Barks, the man who has made Rumi more accessible than any one else.
He has taken someone else's translations - he does not translate from Persian himself - and adapted the words into freer, American English
Critics question whether he can legitimately be called a translator, and he is accused by some of eviscerating Rumi and packaging him for the west.
Power behind the poetry
But Coleman Barks says Rumi himself kept apologizing for using words at all.
"In fact, he says the more seductive and the more beautiful the poetry, the more false, because it gives you the experience that is sort of like what it's talking about, and therefore dangerously deceptive."
Coleman Barks has also been criticised by Islamic scholars who claim Rumi as a Muslim poet.
Which of course he was, but in his lifetime, Rumi appealed to many faiths and his emphasis on mysticism appealed to people of different beliefs.

Could someone please, please, open their eyes and see the very intimate connection between testosterone deficiency and RA? Over the past fifteen years, and now seeing over 2,500 patients per month, 100% of RA patients have had a 99% to 100% resolution of their RA problems. Could it at least be possible that this observed bone loss and worsening RA are BOTH the consequence of more severe testosterone deficiency??.

I like interesting people and nice places and things.
I also like to have fun and enjoy life.
I prefer people who have very strong values, are opinionated, even/particularly when their opinions differ from mine, but are open minded--willing and anxious to teach and learn, together.
I love music, theater, and most forms of entertainment. I like good movies but don't watch much TV. I prefer to go out on weekends/evenings, even if it's just for drinks and/or dinner. Overall, I prefer interactive involvement to passive activity.
I am a hopeless romantic and honest to a fault (I was born in 1946). I am accurately described by others as tough minded but warm hearted.
I am very satisfied with who I am, but am always trying to improve myself.
