Top Review by blaire58aol.com
Changed recipe by adding 3 large Granny Smith apples peeled and cut into small chunks and additional 1/4 C of sugar. Baked at 350 for 50 minutes in 9 " Springform pan which was buttered and floured with plain organic bread crumbs. Am a pastry chef, and thought this was a delicious cake for serving for afternoon snack, as is typically done in Italy.

The public unveiling of Hulu – the online video joint venture (JV) between News Corp. and NBCU – will occur tomorrow, allowing consumers to view more than 100 movies, as well as full-length episodes of more than 250 TV series, on their computers.
Hulu's online video service offers streaming, on-demand and premium programming on a free, ad-supported basis.
Content includes full-length current and archived TV programming (such as "The Office," "The Simpsons" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), as well as clips and an initial selection of feature films (such as "Sideways," "The Big Lebowski" and "Mulholland Drive").
thePlatform is providing content publishing and distribution services for the video venture.
Hulu's beta launch occurred about four months ago (story here) and was seen as a rival to Google's YouTube site.
Hulu has licensing deals with MGM Studios, Lionsgate, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. Television Group and Sony Pictures Television, as well as multiple broadcast and cable networks. Last year, NBC removed its content from YouTube in preparation for Hulu's beta introduction.
According to Reuters, Hulu has signed licensing deals with the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Hockey League (NHL), and Viacom continues to hold discussions with the JV.
Hulu CEO Jason Kilar told Reuters that the site has attracted more than five million viewers in the past month. And about 80 percent of Hulu's entire video library is viewed every seven days, Kilar told Reuters.
Video content available on Hulu's site is also dispersed to Hulu's five distribution partners: AOL, Comcast (via Fancast), Microsoft (via MSN), MySpace and Yahoo.

Online survey jobs can be excellent supplementary income sources that don't require any technical skills. Although this type of part time job does won't make anyone rich, it can still allow you to make extra money to compensate for your financial shortages. A lot of people earn a decent monthly income from doing survey jobs, but many others are apprehensive to even start because of the problems associated with this industry. Here are two of the most common issues that people experience when trying to get an online survey job—and how you can avoid them.
Illegal and fraudulent websites
There are a lot of fake websites that are created for phishing and scamming. Don't become a victim! Don't believe online advertisements offering opportunities to earn thousands of dollars online because these are just baits to lure in unsuspecting people and take advantage of their personal details as well as credit and/or bank information. To be sure, you should only use government-licensed websites with ISO certification.
Don't be afraid to explore the website and check its legitimacy before signing up. Be wise in choosing which company/site to trust. Look for government-issued certificates that are associated with the site as proof of their genuineness. Another effective tool to determine whether you're signing up for a genuine company/site is to read about testimonials from other users who joined before you. Sift through the reviews and feedback about them on third-party sites.
Inconsistent volume of work
Some websites that offer online survey jobs promise you a good income potential at the end of the month, and yet are inconsistent in terms of the volume of work they can give you. The key is to NOT depend on one employer alone. Make it your goal to always have three or four online employers so you always have something to do.

Lunar Cycle and Ocean Tides
Moon Phases:
Ocean Tides
Waxing: the moon at anytime after the new moon and before the full moon (illuminated area is increasing)
Waning: the moon after the new moon and before the full moon (its illuminated area is decreasing)
Gibbous: illuminated part of the moon greater than a semicircle and less than a circle
Crescent: the curved sickle shape of the waxing or waning moon
Waxing Moon: a crescent on the right side of the moon
Waning Moon: a crescent on the left side of the moon
Lunar Cycle:
Definition: a cycle of 235 synodic months,about 19 years, after which the new moon occurs on the same day of the year as at the beginning of the cycle with perhaps a shift of one day, depending on the number of leap years in the cycle.
Earth's Season/Eclipses
3.) Nicolai Copernicus said that the Sun was the center of the solar system, not the Earth.
4.) We have seasons because the Earth rotates on its axis that's tilted on its orbit.That 23.5 degree tilt cause the different hemispheres to be at different angles towards the sun at different times of the year.
5.) The angles during winter, the energy from the sun must travel through more atmosphere to reach the pole and the sun's energy has to cover more ground.
6.) To have a lunar eclipse, the moon, sun and earth have to be aliened.The moon's orbit around the Earth is slightly inclined, that's why lunar eclipses don't occur every month.
8.) We have day and night because the Earth slowly rotates on its axis, which makes the sun hit the earth at different times.
10.) The seasons are marked by solstices and equinoxes astronomical terms that relate to Earth's tilt.
Equinox- The vernal equinox and autumnal equinox mark the beginning of spring and fall. At these times of the year, the sun appears to be directly over Earth's equator, and the lengths of the day and the night are equal over most of the planet.
Solstice- The solstices mark the points at which the poles are tilted at their maximum toward or away from the sun.

From Wikipedia
Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio
(c. 1488/1490 – 27 August 1576)
better known as Titian was an Italian painter, the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno (in Veneto), in the Republic of Venice. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, taken from the place of his birth.
Recognized by his contemporaries as "The Sun Amidst Small Stars" (recalling the famous final line of Dante's Paradiso), Titian was one of the most versatile of Italian painters, equally adept with portraits, landscape backgrounds, and mythological and religious subjects. His painting methods, particularly in the application and use of color, would exercise a profound influence not only on painters of the Italian Renaissance, but on future generations of Western art.
During the course of his long life, Titian's artistic manner changed drastically but he retained a lifelong interest in color. Although his mature works may not contain the vivid, luminous tints of his early pieces, their loose brushwork and subtlety of polychromatic modulations are without precedent in the history of Western art.

Introducing various pendant functional groups and building blocks of interest to polypeptides in a highly efficient, controlled manner is crucial to access polypeptide materials with desired structures and functions. In this study, we synthesized γ-(4-vinylbenzyl)-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (VB-Glu-NCA), which was readily obtained and purified in large quantity. VB-Glu-NCA monomer was subsequently used for the synthesis of polypeptides containing conjugation-amenable, pendant vinyl functional groups. Controlled, living polymerizations of VB-Glu-NCA were achieved by using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as the initiator, catalytic amounts of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) as the co-catalyst, and nitrobenzene as the inhibitor of radical-induced side reactions on the vinyl group of VB-Glu-NCA. The resulting poly(γ-(4-vinylbenzyl)-L-glutamate) (PVBLG) gave rise to polypeptides containing pendant functional groups or moieties through various vinyl chemistries.
Polypeptides bearing functional side chains have been used in various applications including drug delivery, gene delivery and antimicrobial treatment.1 Preparation of such materials in a highly controlled manner has been a great challenge to polymer chemists. Conventional approaches typically involve the ring-opening polymerizations (ROP) of side-chain protected, multifunctional α-amino acids N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs),2 followed by removal of the side chain protecting groups and conjugation to desired functional groups/moieties3 or direct aminolysis/transesterification.4 These approaches require the use of harsh deprotection chemistry (e.g., 33% HBr) and may have low grafting efficiency,3 especially for polypeptides with high molecular weights (MWs). To avoid the deprotection step, there has been growing interest in developing new NCA monomers containing conjugation-amenable functional groups that can stay intact during polymerization and be used for the subsequent grafting of desired moieties after polymerization.5 In this study we report the controlled polymerization of γ-(4- vinylbenzyl)-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (VB-Glu-NCA) and utilization of the resulting poly(γ-(4-vinylbenzyl)-L-glutamate) (PVBLG) to easily access a variety of functional polypeptides (PVBLG-a~g) through controlled vinyl chemistries (Scheme 1).
VB-Glu-NCA was readily prepared and purified in multi-gram scale in crystalline form (Figure S1).6 The purified VB-Glu-NCA is very stable in moisture-free conditions and can be stored in the freezer of a glove-box at −30°C for more than 6 months without noticeable change of properties. The PVBLGs, the resulting polypeptides, are very soluble in common organic solvents (e.g., THF, CHCl3 and DMF), making study of the polymerization and characterization of its products straightforward by standard techniques (e.g., gel permeation chromatography (GPC)).
We previously reported that hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) was an excellent initiator for the ROP of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate NCA (Glu-NCA).2i,2j Along this direction, we first attempted to use HMDS to polymerize VB-Glu-NCA. However, at a monomer/initiator (M/I) ratio of 50, the resulting PVBLG had a Mn value of 1.87× 104 g/mol, which is significantly higher than the expected Mn (1.22 × 104 g/mol, entry 1, Table 1). The molecular-weight distribution (MWD = Mw/Mn) was also fairly broad (2.03). The GPC analysis of the obtained PVBLG gave a bimodal curve with the higher MW peak showing a strong light-scattering signal (red, Figure 1a) but a very weak refractive index signal (data not shown). These GPC results suggest the existence of polymers with very high MWs, presumably due to the inter-chain crosslinking of the vinyl groups of the PVBLG. To eliminate this side reaction, nitrobenzene (NB), a radical retarder, was added to the HMDS-mediated VB-Glu-NCA polymerization solution. As expected, the crosslinking side reaction was completely inhibited, evidenced by the monomodal GPC light-scattering curve of the resulting PVBLG (blue, Figure 1a), which had a MW much closer to the expected value and a narrower MWD (entry 2, Table 1). The amount of NB had very limited effect on polymerization rates and the MWs of the resulting PVBLGs, suggesting that NB functions as a radical inhibitor and does not participate in chain propagation (Figure S2).
Although HMDS-mediated VB-Glu-NCA polymerization in the presence of NB gave controlled polymerization, VB-Glu-NCA has fairly low reactivity as compared to the parent Glu-NCA (Figure S4), making HMDS/NB-mediated polymerization undesirable for the synthesis of high MW PVBLG (Figure S5). Polymerization at high M/I ratio generally gave low monomer conversion even with extended reaction time (entry 3, Table 1). Our previous study indicated that HMDS-mediated Glu-NCA polymerization proceeds via a trimethylsilyl carbamate (TMS-CBM) terminal group. Polypeptide chains were propagated through the transfer of the TMS group from the terminal TMS-CBM to the incoming monomer to form a new TMS-CBM terminal propagating group.2i,2j In the case of VB-Glu-NCA, the TMS-transfer process could have been retarded due to the low reactivity of VB-Glu-NCA.
We next screened various substrates that have been used as nucleophilic organic catalysts in various acyl-transfer or acyl-activation reactions.7 We found that 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) assisted faster polymerizations with excellent control over MWs when it was used in conjunction with HMDS for VB-Glu NCA polymerization. At a VB-Glu-NCA/HMDS molar ratio of 200:1 along with a catalytic amount of TBD (0.1 equiv.), the polymerization was noticeably faster and completed within 20 h with quantitative conversion of VB-Glu-NCA (entry 4 vs. 3, Table 1). The GPC analysis of the polymerization solution in situ revealed that the resulting PVBLG had a narrow MWD (Mw/Mn = 1.08) and an Mn value of 4.7 × 104 g/mol, which was very close to the expected Mn of 4.9 × 104 g/mol (entry 4, Table 1). As shown in Figure 1b, the obtained Mn's, which were the average of the Mn's of the PVBLGs prepared in three separate polymerization experiments at the corresponding M/I ratios, agreed almost perfectly with the expected Mn's. Furthermore, the very small error bars of Mn's indicate that the polymerizations were highly reproducible. The resulting PVBLGs all had very narrow MWDs (1.08-1.27). The MWs of PVBLG also showed linear correlation with the conversions of VB-Glu-NCA and agreed well with the expected MWs (Figure 1c), demonstrating that PVBLG chains were propagated through living chain ends. Block co-polypeptides, such as poly(ε-cdzL-lysine)-block-PVBLG (PZLL-b-PVBLG), can be readily prepared with predictable MWs and narrow MWDs (entry 5, Table 1). These experiments demonstrated that the HMDS/TBD mediated well controlled, living polymerizations of VB-Glu-NCA. It is unclear if HMDS/TBD can be applied to other NCAs for accelerated polymerization and the mechanism of action of TBD. These studies are underway and will be reported later.
With the successful establishment of ROP of VB-Glu-NCA for the controlled synthesis of PVBLG, we next performed the post-polymerization reactions as illustrated in Scheme 1, aiming to explore the scope and versatility of PVBLG for the synthesis of functional polypeptides. The efficiencies of side-chain functionalization illustrated in Scheme 1 were found to be at least 90% as confirmed by the NMR. The separated yields of all the reactions were between 60% and 90% (See SI). To generate PVBLG-a~g, the N-terminus of PVBLG70, a 70mer of PVBLG, was first protected by a CBZ group immediately after polymerization to prevent undesired side reactions. The PVBLG70 was then treated with ozone and the vinyl group was converted to alcohol in (PVBLG-a)70 in 72% yield (route a, Scheme 1) and aldehyde in (PVBLG-b)70 in 78% yield (route b), when sodium borohydride and triphenylphosphine were used as the reductive reagent, respectively. Notably, the aldehyde functionalized PVBLG-b was very reactive and could be used for further grafting of various functional moieties with amines, hydrazides, and oxyamines through condensation/reductive amination.8 The vinyl group of PVBLG70 was also converted to carboxylic acid (PVBLG-c)70 in 81% yield under mild condition by osmium tetroxide-promoted catalytic, oxidative cleavage of the olefin (route c).9 1,2-Bishydroxylation of the vinyl of PVBLG70 was performed by following osmium tetraoxide catalyzed oxidative addition in the presence of N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (route d), resulting in (PVBLG-d)70 in 79% yield. Remarkably, PVBLG-d is very soluble in water, has very low toxicity (IC50 > 1 mM in HeLa cells, see Figure S6), and adopts a helical conformation in aqueous solution (Figure 1d). The molar ellipticity at both 208 nm and 222 nm remained unchanged when the CD analyses were carried out at two different concentrations of PVBLG-d, indicating that PVBLG-d stays in its monomeric form in water. Thus, we can readily convert PVBLG, a water-insoluble polypeptide, to a water-soluble PVBLG-d via a one-step post-modification reaction, and PVBLG-d can potentially be used as water-soluble, non-charged, rod-like structures in self-assembly or biological applications. Further studies of PVBLG-d are underway in our laboratory. We also performed the metathesis reaction of PVBLG70 (route e, Scheme 1). By mixing the polymer solution in dichloromethane with excessive cis-1,4-dichlorobutene in the presence of the second-generation Grubbs catalyst, allyl chloride functionalized polypeptide (PVBLG-e)70 was exclusively generated in 78% yield. By treating PVBLG70 with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) followed by reaction with 4′-bromoacetophenone and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium, (PVBLG-f)70 was derived in 60% separated yield via the Suzuki reaction. UV-induced crosslinking reaction of the vinyl group of PVBLG70 resulted in formation of an organogel ((PVBLG-g)70).10 Thus, the functionalization of PVBLG's side-chain vinyl group can be a very useful approach to generate a large number of polypeptide materials with a variety of side chain functionalities and moieties through versatile vinyl chemistry.
In conclusion, we report the preparation of polypeptides with poly(L-glutamate) backbone and a variety of different side chains via controlled polymerization of VB-Glu-NCA followed by a variety of highly efficient post-functionalization reactions. VB-Glu-NCA is readily available in large scale (tens of grams) with satisfactory purity after crystallization. The initiator (HMDS) and the co-catalyst (TBD) of the polymerization are both commercially available and inexpensive and can be used as received to prepare PVBLGs with precisely controlled MWs and narrow MWDs. The side-chain post-functionalization reactions are also straightforward with high efficiency. We believe this streamlined strategy will find widespread utility for the synthesis of a large number of functional polypeptides with tailored side-chain structures and desired functions.

Sirius XM NASCAR Radio personality Dave Moody is reporting that Steve Letarte, crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr's #88 Chevrolet, will leave his current role and head to the broadcast booth at NBC Sports in 2015. Letarte has been the crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr since the the 2011 season and has helped with the dramatic turnaround for the sports most popular driver.
Letarte will join Rick Allen and Jeff Burton in the booth at NBC Sports Network. Letarte's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series crew chief career began in 2005 when he took over for Robbie Loomis on Jeff Gordon's #24 Chevrolet. He and Gordon worked together for the next five seasons and together had an amazing 2007 season in which the team won seven races together and finished second in the point standings. After the 2010 season Letarte and Gordon's relationship ended as a shift in Hendrick Motorsports occurred when Dale Earnhardt Jr's #88 Chevrolet and Jeff Gordon's #24 Chevrolet switched shops at HMS and Earnhardt began working with Letarte. The move was a gigantic one and Earnhardt's struggles at Hendrick Motorsports in previous seasons seemed to get a lot better. Earnhardt's three best seasons with the team have come with Letarte as his crew chief.
The move will not effect the 2014 season and there is no word on who will replace Letarte following the season. Earnhardt's current contract at Hendrick Motorsports runs through the 2017 season.Tags: Dale Earnhardt Jr., Hendrick Motorsports, Motorsports, NASCAR, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NBC Sports Network, Steve Letarte

Get in touch We get up in the morning to help great companies with innovative technologies and bold ideas win the recognition, respect and rewards they deserve. If you want to work with an ambitious tech PR team that has your commercial interests at heart, get in touch.
The strength of any PR or marketing consultancy is based on the quality of its people. We have built and developed a very strong team with deep sector specialisms and expertise across a range of functions.
The tech PR market has come a long way in the last few years, but 2017 will be an incredible year. Opportunities abound for tech PR professionals both agencies and in house.
These predictions started life as amalgamation of conversations with clients, prospects, industry influencers, competitors and professional bodies. I've then simply asked myself and the CCgroup team – how might these things manifest themselves in 2017?
Here's the result.
1. PR professionals take charge of customer insight
B2B tech brands do not know enough about their customers and prospects. The net result is that the marketing and sales programmes and messages they put out don't resonate with audiences as much as they should. In the consumer world, brands invest millions of pounds a year on customer insight. But it's not about the money, it's the seeming lack of ambition amongst B2B tech firms to do more than just 'optimise' campaigns. B2B tech brands seem 'content' with category level insight from industry analysts that's available to all their competitors.
In 2017, things will change. B2B tech sales and marketing leaders are beginning to know what they don't know. Due to recent advances in business psychology and data collection, and the gradual emergence of planners who can turn this data into insight, tech PR professionals can play a leading role in the collation and application of customer insight. I wrote about it for Gorkana late in 2016.
Early in 2016, we started Aperture – a specialist consultancy employing psychology, data and technology to derive customer insights in the B2B market. And if we, a tech PR agency, can do it then others with greater resources than ours can too. It's a critical step on a journey that will evolve dramatically in 2017.
2. Tech PR leads on PR automation
I don't think it has ever been more difficult to hire good tech PR people. So why do they end up spending so much time on low value tasks – the type that could be automated? Take some big data, integrate machine learning and add a dash of AI and you have an incredible opportunity for the whole PR industry. But it's likely that tech PR folks that are more familiar and comfortable with technology will lead the way – and make the requisite mistakes - for the whole industry.
What does it mean in practice? Well, 'goodbye' to the dull but necessary tasks of daily PR, the challenge of hiring huge numbers of talented tech PR people and the wastage on admin and reporting. 'Hello' to strategy training earlier in careers, scaling brilliant people across tasks and, the main aim, more time spent doing 'PR'.
CCgroup is making a big bet on the automation of PR in 2017, starting with a thorough examination of the possibilities and the tasks that waste time and deliver little value. It's going to be a long, hard, expensive road. But the potential is really quite amazing.
3. We all love media relations, again
Over the past few years, media relations has become a 'dirty word' in PR circles. We're meeting a worrying number of junior to mid-level job candidates who don't seem to value media relations, or make much of their influencer contacts. And these are PR people.
Insight and strategy, content marketing, customer reference programmes et al are critical to contemporary sales, marketing and PR programmes. But first and foremost, clients hire tech PR agencies to win them targeted media coverage, which helps to activate marketing programmes and reach a wide range of audiences. I've seen a couple of examples where SEO and advertising agencies have attempted to engage with journalists – it's truly awful. Media relations must remain the domain of PR professionals because we're good at it and should be proud of it.
Obviously, PR is not just media relations – that's far too limiting today. But media relations is an essential component of contemporary tech PR. As an industry, PR has devalued one of its greatest assets. In 2017, we'll learn to love, respect and value media relations once again in tech PR.
4. Integrated marketing programmes: PR takes centre stage
Over the past seven or so years, CCgroup has learned how to participate in integrated tech marketing programmes. Now we're finally realising that, of all the marketing disciplines, PR is the best function to lead integrated efforts.
In five years, PR will have secured its rightful place at the centre of integrated marketing programmes across all markets and sectors. We have superior market and customer insight, we excel at inventive storytelling, we understand multi-channel communications and we can handle measurement tied to business outcomes. Trust me, PR will be the most important marcomms game in town. Nothing made me more sure of this than my trip to SXSW last year.
But in 2017, and especially in tech, PR will start to take the lead more formally, demonstrating the benefits the function can bring as the fulcrum of integrated marketing. Just consider this: if we've grown up learning to successfully engage with the world's most cynical audience (the media), then working through owned channels and going direct should be a piece of cake (it's not a piece of cake – but knowing how to tell a compelling story that drives a response is more useful than knowing how to buy ad space).
5. Buckle up: tech PR growth outstrips the rest of the PR industry
In PRCA research published in 2016, the two areas are tipped for most significant growth in the next few years were healthcare PR and tech PR. There was an emphasis on the latter.
Many areas of PR - corporate, financial, consumer and industrial – are suffering from intense price and competitive pressure. This became apparent at the PRCA's final PR & Communications Council meeting of 2016. In stark contrast, tech PR is flourishing.
CEOs and MDs of specialist tech agencies have reported growth levels of above 30% in 2016. That's decent growth, but some of us are daring to dream of 50% in 2017 (I'm not quite sure anyone has thought about staffing this growth yet, but let's not spoil the optimism). As the tech market grows and grows, and the opportunities to play more strategic, more integrated and more successful roles in campaigns evolves, the potential for incredible growth is there. 2017 promises to be a vintage year for tech PR professionals.

President Rafael Correa also declared a state of emergency after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit near Muisne Saturday. Vice President Jorge Glas said the military has been sent to affected areas.
The death toll from a powerful earthquake that shook Ecuador's northwestern coast soared to 272 on Sunday, and hundreds more pepole were wounded, the office of the nation's president said.
Ecuador was in a state of emergency Sunday after the magnitude-7.8 earthquake flattened buildings and ravaged towns just before 7 p.m. (8 p.m. ET) Saturday.
"Thank you to the whole world for solidarity," President Rafael Correa, who cut short a trip to Italy to return home, said on Twitter. "Our infinite love to the families of the dead."
Correa, who toured the coastal city of Manta to get a firsthand look at the damage Sunday, said later: "The immediate priority is to rescue people in the rubble. Everything can be rebuilt, but lives cannot be recovered, and that's what hurts the most."
More than 2,500 people were injured, the government said. At least 370 buildings were destroyed, and 151 more buildings and 26 schools were affected.
Correa said the temblor was the strongest quake to hit Ecuador since 1979. He said some areas had lost power and warned people to be careful to avoid fallen debris and poles.
States of emergency were declared for the provinces of Esmeraldas, Los Rios, Manabi, Santa Elena, Guayas and Santo Domingo. The quake was strongly felt in country's capital, Quito, about around 100 miles away.
Vice President Jorge Glas said that 10,000 military troops and 3,500 police officers were dispatched to the affected areas and that $600 million in credit was allotted to the emergency. Meanwhile, the Home Ministry said five helicopters and more than 80 buses ferried 4,000 police to the quake zone.
By Sunday night, the government was calling on an additional 2,000 officers to help "reinforce security" in the region, the country's vice minister of internal security, Diego Fuentes Acosta, said at a news conference. He added that the government was at "100 percent of its operational capacity" there.
More than 1,200 Red Cross volunteers were also helping to render first aid and search for an unspecified number of missing people. Glas said. However, the heavy machinery couldn't be used in rescues because such equipment could put wounded people at greater risk. He pleaded with people who flooded into the streets, in the absence of shelter, to "be quiet so rescuers can listen for survivors."#EcuadorQuake Rescue crews and RedCross paramedics are heading to more remote areas where severe damage was reported pic.twitter.com/4hXnF6Tm5U— CRUZ ROJA ECUADOR (@cruzrojaecuador) April 17, 2016
Vanessa Santos said authorities were telling her that her entire family was buried. "I need to find my baby," she said. "It's been five hours since she disappeared."
Authorities said landslides, crumbling bridges and roads were making it difficult for emergency workers to reach the hardest-hit towns.
"We're trying to do the most we can, but there's almost nothing we can do," said Gabriel Alcivar, mayor of Pedernales, a town of 40,000 near the quake's epicenter, according to The Associated Press.

He says he wants me in his life, i have met his family, and he introduces me to people as his girlfriend. But he hardly ever ask's me to stay the night with him! He once told me that if he isn't used to the person sleeping next to him, then he can't sleep. So shouldn't i stay the night more often? So he can get used to me? But he doesn't ask me to stay. I mean shouldn't a boyfriend want his girlfriend to stay the nights? Its always the same, itll get late, we would snuggle, and then he'll send me on home. Am I over reacting that he doesn't ask me to stay the night with him? We have been together for a couple of months now.
Things are pretty good between me and my boyfriend but for some reason he doesn't invite me to stay the night at his house. Should I be worried?

According to Foote's Pond Project Coordinator JoAnn Casadevall, the town-owned park won't be the average, picturesque, manicured city park or a secluded wildlife refuge. "It will be a place with multiple uses supporting space for reflection and contemplation, bird watching, painting as well as, hands on environmental education," she said.
The 14-acre property was conveyed from the Foote family to the town with a stipulation it be used as a public recreational park and playground. Casadevall said late last year the Town Council placed a further restriction by passing a resolution stating the property is to be used for passive recreation. Those activities include more education and more contemplative in nature than active. Casadevall said fishing and ice skating will be permitted on the pond, however organized team hockey games will be prohibited. In addition, the council passed a resolution to continue care and maintenance of the park, Casadevall said.
Casadevall said the dam and the fireplace will be replaced in the upcoming month s. In addition, the Morris County Mosquito Commission has volunteered to dredge the pond at the time the dam is being repaired, Casadevall added. "That is a contribution equivalent to $100,000," she said.
Three Habitats
The park, located adjacent to the Thomas Jefferson School, includes three different habitats and an assortment of wildlife. The habitats include a woodland with streams, wetlands and a pond that provides a deep water habitat.
The pond is fed from the Great Brook which begins its journey at the top of Mount Kemble and travels through the park on its way to the Great Swamp.
Casadevall said, during 1999 and 2000, with the help of the Morris Land Conservancy's Partners for Parks program, volunteers have contributed more than 1,000 hours to help remove debris and evasive plants.
Volunteers included groups from Novartis Pharmaceutical, AT&T, the Church of Latter Day Saints, Girl and Boy Scout troops and students from the Thomas Jefferson School, Assumption School and Unity Charter School.
Restoration of the park continued on April 18 when volunteers from AT&T's Mount Kemble Avenue branch worked to clean up the site, remove evasive plants and begin a stream bank replanting program funded by a $15,000 grant from the Ten Towns Great Swamp Watershed Committee.
Neglect Sparks Effort
Casadevall said the idea for the park restoration began in June 1998 after she felt the park was being neglected. She said her first step was applying to the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation for a grant to fund an evaluation of the park. In October the same year, the town received a $15,000 grant from the foundation.
Casadevall said the town has received a number of other grants in 1999, including $10,000 from the Nathan Cummings Foundation of New York to pay part of the landscape design firm and architect, $40,000 renewable grant, half in 1999, half in 2000, from the Geraldine R. Dodge foundation that is paying for a topographical survey, part of the landscape design fees and work with the New Jersey Audubon Society to develop the site as a place of environmental education and $15,000 from the Ten Towns Great Swamp Association to fund planting native American wetland plants to stabilize and restore a portion of the stream banks.
In addition, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation gave the town a $350,000 challenge grant in October of last year. Casadevall said the grant provided the town wit h an initial check for $150,000 to carry out the master plan and begin implementing the parks design concept. "Additional money $200,000 is offered in the for m of a two-to-one match, where the town must raise $400,000," she said. "For every $50,000 the town raises, the foundation will release $25,000 of its $200,00 0 commitment."
Casadevall said after receiving the challenge grant, the town was pledged $50,00 0 from the Morristown Rotary Club to support capital improvements and as a part of the club's five-year commitment to the parks of Morristown. Lastly, the council itself voted in January to appropriate $50,000 in the current budget for capital improvements at the park.
"The last two contributions are particularly significant because they meet the requirements for the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundations challenge grant," Casadevall said. "The town will receive an additional $25,000 for each of them, a total of $50,000."
Casadevall said the park she envisions "will be a quiet place for someone to read, draw or just get away from it all and think."
Casadevall said the park will be completed by the end of 2003 assuming the funding is received.

We stayed at the Riad Diana from the 27th Dec 2012 to the 4th Jan 2013. My husband and I had the ground floor Wahid Double Room Deluxe which had a comfortable king bed and ensuite. The plumbing was what you would expect in a building dating back about 900 years. The room was quant and comfortable however we were short a little storage. Our daughter had the Khamsa Double Room on the top floor which was perfect for her. Lovely large bed on a raised platform and a very quiet spot. Our package included a Morracan breakfast which varied slightly over our stay which we enjoyed and looked forward to. Our hosts Boujamaa and his team were brillant, nothing was too big or too small. We would most definitely return to the Riad Diana next time we visit Marrakech. Nothing could of prepared me for the life in the old city of Marrakech, what with the traffic, the alleyways, the food, the donkeys, the horses, the people, the smells of fumes from the scotters , the people and the spices.
We crammed in alot of things during our 8 days some of which were a day trip out to the Atlas Mountains with morning tea at a Burber family home. a great experience for us. This was organised by Boujamaa and cost DBH700 for the three of us. We also went on a day trip to the coast of Esquera and enjoyed a fabulous seafood lunch with a few wines and beers. The fresh oysters were also a hit.. This trip cost DBH1000. The hop on hop off bus is always something we do for a day to get out and about. We enjoyed the tour and looked at alot of the sites in all directions. My daughter and I did a cooking class in the Riad and this was brillant. We went with our tutor to the local food markets, what an insite that was, then prepared and cooked our feast and shared it with the payer of our holiday my husband. LOL.The holiday has enhanced my outlook on life and makes me truely happy to be who I am.

The RM-KG2 Valvrave II2 Cahen (カエン Cahen) is a Valvrave unit upgraded from Kagerou (Nao use) that appears in Kakumeiki Valvrave: Undertaker. It is piloted by Nao Ota.
It is installed with both the Ardor Axel and Prismatic Gam making it quite similar to the original "complete" Valvrave II. Valvrave II2 also appears to be able to utilize equipment from the other Valvraves.
Valvrave II2 serves as clear evidence that the weapons and equipment of the Valvraves are interchangeable.
Valvrave I's VurutogaEdit
The Vurutoga (ヴルトガ Vurutoga?) is a large, all-purpose weapon originally used by Valvrave I and created by combining all of it's arm-carried weapons. Mimicking the concept of the Halberd, the Vurutoga can be carried and operated in a variety of ways as it is able to perform multiple attack elements, such as shooting, striking, piercing, and cutting. Each of the weapons that make up the Vurutoga can be used on their own and when the Vurutoga is destroyed or damaged the individual armaments can be salvaged.
- Z-Edge
- The Z-Edges (ジー・エッジ Jī Ejji?) are straight, single-edged blades built from Clear Fossil that mimic Japanese swords. A pair of long and short Z-Edges, comparable to a Japanese Daishō are used as a sort of dual-edged bayonet attached to the top of the Volc Arm.
- Fold Sickle
- A different pair from the ones stored on the Valvrave itself, these small, fold-able, Kama-like weapons have a Clear Fossil blade, and are used to create the Vurutoga by being attached to the sides of the extra parts that connects the Bladed Baiken to the underside of the Volc Arm. These appear to have a fair degree of movement and has been seen being used as a claw.
- Volc Arm
- The Volc Arm (ボルク・アーム Boruku āmu?) is a large hand-held gun meant for medium range combat, the Volc Arm has the ability to change it's power setting allowing for rapid fire or one powerful blast, and as an advantage of the properties of Hard Afterglow can fire either energy beams or needle-like bullets. As it draws energy from the Valvrave's Mirror RAVE Engine the Volc Arm does not run out of ammunition but after extended use during a battle the weapon begins to heat up, this waste heat is discharged by ejecting a Cooling Barrel from the weapon when necessary. There appears to be an attachment for a hard point on the shoulder armor to store the Volc Arm behind the right shoulder itself.
- As it appears to have integrated Rail Systems for attaching the various weapons, the Volc Arm serves as the core of the Vurutoga; A long and short Z-Edge forming a dual-edged bayonet at the top, the Bladed Baiken attached underneath with Fold Sickles at the sides and the Meteor Plate in its folded state being used as a connector for the Strike Brace to the back end of the Volc Arm itself.
- Strike Brace
- The Strike Brace (ストライク・ブレイス Sutoraiku Bureisu?) consists of a small physical shield meant to take severe punishment that would normally destroy the Valvrave's frame, a set of spikes for use as a punching weapon, and a saw-like blade; it is connected to Volc Arm via the Meteor Plate. Spare cooling barrels for the Volc Arm are also stored on the back side.
- Meteor Plate
- The Meteor Plate (メテオール・プレート Meteōru Purēto?) is a folding cross boomerang-shaped weapon formed by two long plates, each end has a retractable blade of Clear Fossil. Although it is usually folded and held like a spear, it can be used as an autonomous throwing weapon.
- When used to create the Vurutoga it attaches the Strike Brace to the Volc Arm as a connector.
- Bladed Baiken
- The Bladed Baiken (ブレーデッド・バイケン Burēdeddo Baiken?) is a large collapsible Kusarigama-like scythe weapon similar to the Fold Sickle. The red portion is an extendable chain. It relies on its weight and mass for radial striking. Simultaneously exploding Hard Afterglow energy at point-blank range significantly adds to the force of impact.
- It is attached to Vurutoga, underneath the Volc Arm by being encased in extra parts that also hold the Fold Sickles on it's sides.
Valvrave IIIEdit
- Armstronger Cannon
- The main weapons of the Valvrave III, these cannons are capable of long-distance bombardment by utilizing the energy amplification of the Mirror RAVE engine. In addition, they can divide into eight arm units that are capable of crushing an Ideal Mechanized Annihilator.
- Chain Saucer
- A pair of sub-weapons mounted over the shoulders, these cannons emit RAVE energy. They can fire disk-shaped Hard Afterglow projectiles.
VVV StandardEdit
These are armaments consistent with all Valvraves.
- Clear Fossil Emitters
- On the ends of the wrist and on the back of the heels of the Valvrave are emitters made of a Clear Fossil cover and what appears to be heat sink fins underneath with their small edges protruding out of the outer edge of the emitter. While they serve as a Valvrave's primary means of propulsion they are also used to conjure Hard Afterglow for various offensive and defensive purposes, the color of which appears to be dependent on the color of the emitter and the color theme of the Valvrave itself.
- An Impact Booster can attach to a Valvrave near one of these emitters to greatly enhance its capabilities, notably with manipulating Hard Afterglow allowing for ranged laser-like beams and even a powerful punching or kicking attack that uses the same superheated energy as the "Harakiri Blade".
- Variable Vulcan
- A pair of ranged, rapid-firing weapons installed in the head of a Valvrave and are useful for suppressing fire and attacking quickly at close-range. These are installed in the head of a Valvrave as a part of its standard armaments.
- The name implies that they have different settings for how they fire but this is not definitively seen in any source so far.
- It is unknown if it actually has Variable Vulcans.
- Fold Sickle
- The Fold Sickles (フォルド・シックル Forudo Shikkuru?) are small, sickle-like melee weapons with a blade that appears to be made of Clear Fossil; these are stored and folded in a sheath on the sides of the torso when not in use and are part of a Valvrave's standard armaments.
- These appear to be used as a slashing or piercing weapon.
- Hand Ray
- The Hand Ray (ハンド・レイ Hando Rei?) is a small, anti-personnel laser weapon built into the back of both of the Valvrave's hands and are part of its standard armaments.
Special FeaturesEdit
- Prismatic Gam
- Retained from the Kagerou (Nao use), the Prismatic Gams are devices to the lower legs that appear to be capable of reflecting long-range attacks away from the Valvrave.
- Ardor Axel
- A piece of equipment originally used by Valvrave II that is in someway related to the Ardor Grip found on the Valvrave I Full Impact. It seems to be designed to increase the speed and power of the Valvrave. It appears to have mounts for the IMP shield equipment found on Valvrave V.
Valvrave IVEdit
- Multi-Leg Spine
- The Multi-Leg Spine (マルチレッグ・スパイン Maruchireggu Supain?) is a set of special equipment connected to the lower back of Valvrave II2 that consists of six legs arranged into three pairs that enhances Valvrave II2's speed and maneuverability; their form and how they move brings to mind a spider. Each leg has a wide range of movement and a pointed tip, similar to the Clear Fossil emitters found on a Valvrave's wrists and heels, which serve as thrusters. These thrusters can grant the Valvrave great speed when used in unison or great maneuverability with burst of energy from each leg in different directions. The Clear Fossil emitter tip of each leg is also able to create a disk of Hard Afterglow with a puncturing or jumping motion, that allows Valvrave II2 to rapidly maneuver and change it's direction of movement by using these disks as springboards.
Valvrave VEdit
- The IMP (Impregnable) is a large semi-transparent shield composed of Clear Fossil, a material that boasts overwhelming defense than most armor material. It maintains its defensive properties by coating the armor surface in special energy generated from the Mirror RAVE engine. Furthermore, the rate of overheating is significantly reduced compared to other Valvrave units.
- In the manga, it is shown that it can be covered in solidified Hard Afterglow, in the form of jagged crystals, to allow it to reflect attacks, even missiles; Kyuma Inuzuka calls this Impregnable Mode.
VVV Special FeaturesEdit
These are special features consistent with all Valvraves.
- Unlike other Valvrave's, Valvrave II2's Senses Nerves are white instead of neon green.

New school, new environment, new people, different foods, stress, as well as age and hormonal changes are all normal contributing factors that may affect her weight.
Here at Overbrook Academy, we continuously strive to improve your daughter's experience. Every student's health and nutrition is important. We would like to share with you the changes that are being put together by the Chef, the Nurse and Physical Education Teacher within their departments.
We are planning on working together to continue to provide to our students:
· Nutrition classes, given to the students and complying with the State of Rhode Island Health Department
· Balanced menus for a healthier lifestyle
· Let's Move Campaign! This is a comprehensive initiative, launched by the First Lady. www.letsmove.gov
· Exercise and Fitness Room is open and available to the students during their free time
We are confident that moving forward this will benefit every student, not only in the short term, but in the long term as well.
We would encourage you to motivate your daughter to take advantage of the means we are providing for a healthier lifestyle.

Laser Biochelation in the Philippines
Today, people live in a very toxic environment. They are relentlessly incessantly bombarded and exposed to different chemicals every minute of their lives. The air people inhale may be polluted with different chemicals especially carbon from exhausts of vehicles. Even the food we eat had been subjected to fertilizers and pesticides. Processed foods and canned goods contain heavy metals. Drinks such as tea, cocoa and coffee can contain cadmium and nickel. Even the water we drink can be polluted. People are also exposed to different chemicals placed directly in the bodies such as perfumes, hygienic products (deodorant, soap, shampoo) make up and other pollutants. Still others have vices such as cigarette smoking or liquor drinking.
While the metals and other chemicals in the body may both be useful and harmful, there are toxic metals which can be carcinogenic in the long run. These chemicals can gradually damage cells or genes or diminish our natural protective anti-oxidants and immune system which usually manifests themselves at old age in symptoms such as headaches, numbness, allergies, and other forms of physical weakness. In lieu of which, there is a need for people to detoxify themselves from the chemicals and other toxins that people are exposed to on a daily basis, which can accumulate in perilous levels in time.
Laser Biochelation or laser light blood irradiation therapy is a one safe, non-invasive, accurate and natural cleansing photo-hemotherapy method we can use to get rid of toxic metals in the body with the use of Helium Neon Laser. The process will help disintegrate the chemical plaques and metal deposits that sticks in our blood vessels i.e. arteries to help facilitate better blood circulation. It helps incite the regeneration of young blood cells which is important for carrying oxygen and other minerals/ nutrients in our body systems. It also has anti inflammatory and pain-relieving effect on parts of the body where toxic metals have accumulated which can be identified by placing a magnetic analyzer in several pressure points of the body. Laser Biochelation is ideal for people suffering from circulatory problems such as like hypertension, heart disease, diabetic complications, arthritis, asthma, those who under bipass surgery and generally for all people who want to feel rejuvenated.
In the Philippines, Laser Biochelation is available in BIOVITALE Holistic Center which is located at Ground Floor, CRB Bldg. Edsa Cubao Quezon City. It also has branches in San Fernando, Pampanga, Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Alabang Muntinlupa City and Lipa City, Batangas.

The very public growth of The Intercept
The Intercept, the new startup title funded handsomely by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, debuted Monday and created buzz both for simply showing up and for its content: An article examining the use of drones to kill government-selected targets abroad, plus a collection of aerial images of the United States' national security campuses.
But save for one more piece expanding on the theme, the hotly anticipated launch has created as much anticipation as it sated. When will we get more?
Story Continued Below
"The timing of the reporting will be driven by the reporting itself. When they've got it nailed down and ready to go, they'll put out a story," First Look's Eric Bates told Capital on Tuesday. "I think it's by virtue of the nature of being in a philanthropic mode."
First Look Media debuts The Intercept in an interesting position: The need to release information obtained through Greenwald and fellow editors Jeremy Scahill and Laura Poitras' reporting, flowing from documents provided by Edward Snowden, is regarded as urgent enough to have required unshackling from the limitations and ensuing time constraints faced by Greenwald's former editors at The Guardian. At the same time, a massive media enterprise is envisioned that will take months and years to coalesce.
Omidyar's new media entity exhibits an unusual but by no means unheard-of structure of for-profit and nonprofit entities housed under the same corporate roof, and The Intercept is the latter. It's a mission-driven organization with a third payer: the licensing of Omidyar's nascent publishing technology platform, which is itself just getting off the ground. As with other nonprofit journalism entities that also seek to burnish the bottom line with sponsor/advertisers, profit-making events and the like, however, other revenue streams are possibly a part of the publishing entity's plan; just not quite yet.
"We don't, at least initially, have to try to feed the beast at some frantic pace and that serves the journalism as well," Bates said.
It was last year when Omidyar hired Glenn Greenwald away from The Guardian with his trove of unpublished material from the National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden in hand, but the work to debut this first title, which the company refers to as a magazine, has been done largely over the last month, Bates, a former Rolling Stone editor who joined the company as executive editor in November, told Capital.
"Part of the trick is you got so much material and this type of material doesn't necessarily readily reveal itself," Bates said. "So it really takes a lot of work to understand what is in there, so having this platform available will help answer that question. And getting that out there is really urgent."
Bates said there's no real publication quota that the site hopes to meet, but that more regularity could be established as the site develops. As the organization navigates methods of sustainability beyond Omidyar's philanthropy, the "publish when you have something to publish" model may indeed not seem practical. According to Bates, they're beginning to discuss possible business models that would best serve their readers and their journalism, though for right now they've primarily focused on producing work.
"You're creating magazines that have a following and have a voice, that's really going to help you with your business," Bates said. "These magazines will have very unique approaches and to that extent you might see an individual mix of the business models for each one. We've started having conversations about what it will look like or are there subscriber opportunities. But we haven't begun to have those conversations in any detail."
There's one other question that has given professional media ponderers grist in the last few days: Why call it a "magazine"?
"I'm surprised by the question and surprised that it's popping up," said Bates. "It seems that the implications of it would be commonly understood. It's not like the internet invented everything. Magazines imply a certain kind of storytelling. Magazines are where people went if they were passionate about a particular area because that was where you'd find the best expertise in that area, or a diversity of voices in that area."
As for the rest of the magazines planned beyond the First Look flagship site, Bates said there is no set schedule for launches.
"We're not putting anything on a hard timeline," he said.

Need I Say More
No I'll Let John Oliver Say It
I Was as an Entrepreneur Masquerading as an Employee #50
John Oliver, HBO's newest funny man will have you in stitches! If the name sounds familiar, yes it's that John Oliver from the Daily Show with Jon Steward.
John William Oliver is a British political satirist, writer, producer, television host, actor, voice actor, media critic, and stand-up comedian. Nothing is off limits for this extremely funny guy.
I'm eagerly waiting his return February 8th to see what he and his brilliant writing staff has in store for us.
I'm not here to talk about his impressive and outstanding resume of wake the hell up America and get your act together world brand of comedy; I'm here to highlight two of my favorites of the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
How Does a Payday Loan Work?
Initial payday loan: The borrower writes a post-dated check for the payday loan amount plus any fees. For example, to borrow $500 for two weeks, the borrower writes a $575 check.
The loan rollover: The borrower assumes they will have enough money in their bank account in two weeks to pay off the payday loan. However, 90% of our profit is generated from borrowers who are not able to pay off the loan and are forced into a debt trap.
The debt trap: The borrower takes out an additional payday loan to pay off the old loan. The average borrower takes out 9 payday loans per year. On a $500 loan with $75 in fees every two weeks, this is $675 in profit at a lucrative 390% APR.
Is your debt trap sticky enough? The PLA white paper enhancing Your Debt Trap demonstrates how to balance the borrower's supply of money with your demand for loan fees.
Profit from lack of financial knowledge: PLA members know that 40% of borrowers believe their payday loan rates are less than 30% APR.
There is an actual Predatory Lending Association which you can join. You can join PLA to learn how to comply with the Truth in Lending Act without risking an increase in the financial knowledge of your customers.
Very Troubling!
- 2. Wealth Gap
What the heck is wrong with America today? Watch the video below, and you'll find is very easy to find the answer for that question. Really, where do you think the country will end up if nothing is done to change this reality? This is the same sort of wealth gap presented in many of the world poorest countries, is that where US really wants to be?
When I was a knee high to grasshopper traditional local news was boring, it was depressing, full of holes so big you could drive a mac truck through it and nothing has changes.
Today it represented by the like of .@FoxNews .@megynkelly .@greta .@glennbeck .@rushlimbaugh and a host of other far, far, far right men and women who take their jobs way to serious for the wrong reason.
News should be about getting it right and if you can't do that, what are you doing?
I'm a fiscally, responsible, conservative, lefty and I get most of my news from .@msnbc. From sun up to sun down, you will find me watching .@msnbc. From time to time I stray, mostly Friday and Saturday evening! Lock up and caught on camera are not my cup of tea!
Weekday's .@waytooearly .@Morning_Joe .@dailyrundown .@mitchellreports .@RonanDaily. @TheReidReport. @thecyclemsnbc .@NowWithAlex .@PoliticsNation.@edshow. @allinwithchris .@maddow .@TheLastWord
Weekend's .@upwithsteve.@MHPshow.@AlexWitt and on Sundays they even add .@meetthepress.
I wouldn't be a true supporter of .@msnbc if I didn't mention the great supporting cast who comes to the rescue when the regular reports are on assignment or holiday. .@craigmelvin .@donlemon .@dorianwarren .@CapehartJand .@MichaelEDyson! I know I'm forgetting a few young ladies who report the early morning and weekend news duties and I truly apologize.
.@msnbc what happen to .@msnbcDisrupt with .@finneyk? I was a true disruptor! I still am! Shhhhh!
Before I started watching .@msnbc, I was a .@FoxNews viewer for years; however I found the spin started here and kept spinning and spinning. They were neither fair nor balance!
.@CNBC, I appreciate what you bring to the table for the business world. A great line up of very talented and noteworthy programs and reporters. .@CNBC .@CNBCClosingBell .@CNBCnow .@SquawkCNBC .@BeckyQuick .@JoeSquawk .@andrewrsorkin .@TheProfitCNBC .@CNBCPrimeTV
A new channel which has catches my eye from time to time is .@ajam .@AJConsiderThis .@AJStream .@AmericaTonight .@TalktoAlJazeera .@AJENews .@AJTechKnow very powerful stuff. Keep up the great work.
.@AliVelshi what happen to the power team of you and.@ChristineRomans? It was a joy watching you both, it made business news fun!
Can't forget about the talented and so charming .@jjramberg host of MSNBC's weekend business program Your Business, which airs Sunday mornings!
You all have an individual quality which keeps me tuning in; that's what I like about the lineups I mentioned. You have set the example for serious news reporting. Thank you so much! However I'm sure if you have the chance to be on .@RealTimers with .@billmaher you would jump at the chance. Love you Bill!
Still wanting on an invite to the panel!
Not here to talk about you serious and very likable news personalities. I'm here to give some love, props and shoot out to John Oliver for keeping the news fun, light, tolerable, real and truly gut busting entertaining.
I noticed John on The Daily Show with Jon Steward, which he did short supporting roles and took the chair in Jon's absence producing a film. Jon, John did a fantastic job! Now look at him all grown up, wearing big boy pants and hosting his own show.
You go boy!
So, if you're tired of the daily routine of local news which could leave you empty and lost, check out MSNBC for serious, fair and informative news.
For a spice and slice of upbeat, real news conversation, with some gut busting humor, get your head out the sand and hit up Jon Steward .@DailyShowJon or Mr. Politically Incorrect the realest, not in the bubble .@RealTimers .@billmaher and now the newest funny man to hit the HBO bring it to you straight news reporting. Drum roll please, get off your feet and give it up for John Oliver. You rock bro!
