text: After years of planning the culmination of a dream is beginning here in Aggieland. It will cause big changes in Bryan and College Station Real Estate. The announcement that the biomedical corridor of Research Valley will be one of three areas that are funded for the production and distribution of vaccines in cases of bio-terrorism or epidemics is a true game changer. Though no one knows the full impact yet of this deal it is the largest single grant source to come to Texas since NASA and it's in our own College Station back yard. Amazing to think of! The grant itself should create about 1000 new jobs for our area. In addition to that many other companies are indicating that they would like to come here to work in collaboration with the vaccine center and A&M's Health Science Center. Imagine the amount of new jobs that this whole deal can create. These new jobs will create new demand for College Station and Bryan real estate. Everything from luxury real estate to low end condominiums will be affected as all job levels including new supporting area jobs will be affected according to a study made by http://www.reelgrass.com.au. Eventually because of the scarcity of new home starts in the last few years, we should even have a housing shortage. Your real estate values will be going up quite a bit in all likelihood. What this means immediately is that those who have been planning on upgrading their current housing situation should pursue that plan sooner as opposed to later. If you can keep your current home and rent it out that is an optimal solution as both your current College Station home and your new College Station home will increase in value. That is the best of both worlds! Even if not, taking advantage of today's interest rates, today's values and today's situation with appraisals that is holding back the growth of real estate in College Station will almost certainly pay off. Another word to the wise is that anyone who is wanting to venture into investment property in College Station should do it now as opposed to later. Again, the current interest rates, low values and the economic situation around the country will come into play in your favor. With investment properties do keep in mind that is it very hard to have more than 4 mortgages as many banks won't allow it and usually 25% down is required. For more Bryan and College Station real estate advice call your College Station Real Estate Agent, Chris Tesch! I'll be happy to have a complimentary consultation with you to point out ways that you can optimize your real estate position!

The Renewable Energy Development: A Nonparametric Efficiency Analysis
The paper's main objective is to examine the efficiency of renewable energy development in the EU using 2009 national data. We apply nonparametric techniques to determine efficiency estimators that provide an insight into the quality of renewable energy policy and its impact on the EU countries. We use nonparametric techniques to determine the DEA efficiency estimates and a bootstrap algorithm that corrects the efficiency estimates and also provides confidence intervals for the bias-corrected efficiency estimates. Moreover, our analysis reveals the energy policy impact by country on the development of renewable energy markets. The implications of the results are discussed in relation to the current developments in the EU renewable energy market and recent policy initiatives.

|Is it bad putting columns with composite or integer name in CF with ByteType comparator & validator ?
|Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:42:28 GMT
Would that do any harm or are there any downsides, if I store columns with composite names or Integer type names in a column family with bytesType comparator & validator. I have observed that bytesType comparator would also sort the integer named columns in similar fashion as done by IntegerType comparator, so why should I just lock my CF to just store Integer or composite named columns, would be good if I could just mix different datatypes in same column family, No !?

Why are my forms suddenly disabled??Asked by NewRockstars on March 26, 2016 at 10:49 PM
Can someone please respond. Why are my forms disabled again?
JotForm Support
Hello NewRockstars,
Upon checking your account I found that it's suspended by our anti-phishing system. As your form "New Client OnBoarding" has fields asking for "Faceook, Instagram and Twitter login credentials" which makes your form suspected of being used for phishing.
Authentication form can't be used in JotForm and creating such forms are against the Terms of Use. I have deleted the password field and activated your account again.
Kindly refrain from creating form with email/password, login/password or credit card details.
Thank you!
Thank you but I need to be able to add field forms that ask for their social media profile links. This is standard info that is public. Those field forms were removed from my form. I also had field forms which asked for the # of followers or fanpage likes which have also been removed. This is not phising. I am a social media manager that gets paid by companies to do this work. At the very least, I need links to their public social media profiles as well as their current # of followers or fanpage likes. Please advise. Thank you.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City police have shut down a five-story marijuana farm that produced at least $3 million worth of the drug in the past year, they said on Wednesday.
When investigators searched the building in the city's Bronx borough on Tuesday afternoon they found 593 plants - some that stood 7 feet - and 75 pounds (34 kilograms) of cut and dried marijuana packaged in plastic.
"It was estimated that 50 to 60 lbs per month were being produced with a value of approximately $250,000. It was conservatively estimated that $3 million was sold over the past year," police said in a statement.
Police photos of the building showed a drying room, air and water filtration systems, ventilation pipes and heat lamps. Three men were taken into custody and charged with criminal possession of marijuana and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the television talk show host, has been grilled for endorsing shoddy medicine.
During a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, senators took him to task for promoting weight loss products on "The Dr. Oz Show" made from green coffee beans that the Federal Trade Commission has described as "phony."
The surgeon-turned-celebrity testified before a panel looking at misleading advertising for weight loss products. The grilling was part of a larger crackdown on the $2.4 billion weight loss industry.
In fact, the Federal Trade Commission sued Pure Green Coffee in May for false advertising and for creating fake websites based on green coffee, which costs $50 for a one-month supply. The company also ran online ads that "contained phony weight loss claims," the agency said. Science has largely disproven benefits from consuming the bean extract.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., the chairwoman of the subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance, gave Oz an earful for calling the coffee beans "miracles" on his show.
"I don't get why you need to say this stuff when you know it's not true," she said. "When you have this amazing megaphone, and this amazing ability to community, why would you cheapen your show by saying things like that?"
In his defense, Oz, a graduate of Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Business School, claimed that he believes in the products' ability to help consumers. He wants to be a "cheerleader" for the audience and give them "hope," even if it's through alternative medicine.
Oz also said that his language on the show has "provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers" to use his likeness on websites, such as in the photo above. As a result, he said, "I'm second-guessing every word I use on the show right now."
In a statement, Oz said he'd take a tougher stance against such phony medicine. "In addition to exercising an abundance of caution in discussing promising research and products in the future, I look forward to working with all those present today in finding a way to deal with the problems of weight loss scams," he said.
Whether his own business, including his recently released magazine, Dr. Oz The Good Life, is affected because of the poor press remains to be seen. But controversy can sometimes be a good sales point, according to a 2012 study by professor Jonah Berger of Oz's MBA alma mater. "It's a time-honored adage: There's no such thing as bad publicity," he wrote.
Berger said that his research shows that "even terrible publicity can bolster the bottom line." The study analyzed the sales patterns of hardcover books reviewed by New York Times, classifying the reviews as positive or negative, and looking at sales figures four weeks before and after the review. While good reviews heavily increased sales (as much as 50%), negative reviews helped, too, especially for new authors. "Even the harshest review can be a boon," he said. And, so too, may an angry senator for the Oz media empire, which notably includes six New York Times best-sellers.
The negative attention may be a plus, if Berger's study is any indication. In the meantime, head over to his website, www.doctoroz.com, and check out the Green Coffee Bean Weight Tracker. At least before it gets taken down.

At the Happiness & Its Causes conference, a panel gathered to ask some eternal questions of parents everywhere. They included tips on how to equip our children emotionally for life. Can events in a young child's life accurately predict problems in the future? Why do some children survive trauma better than others? And, can working mothers raise emotionally healthy children?
Girls have never had more opportunity for success than now, Hamilton argues. Other "good news" headlines include: kids are resilient creatures, internal family bonds are still the strongest factors in child wellbeing, way ahead of income.
This learned and varied panel argue the toss about statistics and approach, but together offer a generally positive and wholistic approach to what makes children happy. The discussion, at the Happiness & Its Causes conference in Brisbane, is led by tv health reporter Lisa Backhouse.
Maggie Hamilton is a writer, social researcher, publisher and author of the best-sellers "What's happening to our boys?" and "What's happening to our girls?" She gives frequent talks and lectures, is a regular media commentator and a keen observer of social trends. Hamilton's previous book was "What Men Don't Talk About".

A Smarter Way to Handle Sinus Problems
In the twenty first century, sinus issues are very common. Every year, millions of people struggle with sinus issues. As you may imagine, these problems can take a variety of forms. Some people will struggle with allergic reactions, but others will have problems due to congenital malformations. Believe it or not, the majority of these issues are mild. If you have more serious sinus issues, though, you will need to take action. By working with a physician, you can get the help that you need to recover from your chronic sinus infection.
Before you treat your sinus problem, you'll need to receive a proper diagnosis. This means that you'll want to evaluate the symptoms. Some people will deal with fever, but others will have headaches. Less common symptoms include fatigue and ear fullness. The primary concern here will usually be an overall feeling of heaviness in your head. Talk to your medical professional if you want to learn more about your chronic sinus infection.
To really treat your sinus problem, it's important for you to understand anatomy. Your sinuses are similar to balloons, and they're located in your head. Your sinuses will become clogged as time goes on. Mucus, foreign substances, and dander will all add to your sinus issues. Avoiding this does not need to be difficult. You need to regularly blow your nose, and you should also wash your hands. Dirty hands can cause your sinuses to become infected. This can be an issue, since sinus infections are very difficult to treat. To learn more about your treatment options, talk to your physician immediately.
A Brief Rundown of Remedies
In some situations, you will want to irrigate your sinuses. It's important to be gentle here. You should only use salt water that has been sterilized. If the issue is recurring, this approach can be particular beneficial. If you need help treating your chronic sinus infection, talk to your doctor immediately.
Where To Start with Tips and More
If your problem hasn't been resolved, you'll want to get a prescription. Antihistamines can be very effective, but some people will use decongestants. The goal of this medication should be to clear up any congestion. You should be able to drain the congestion if you have clear passages. In some situations, you will want to use an OTC nasal spray. While this can work, you should probably limit your usage. Over time, your body will become addicted to this spray. This means that your passages will not be open without it. Get in touch with your physician if you have any questions about chronic sinus infections.

There is this guy at the community center that my sister and I go to. My sister and I have been going to this center since we were little kids. He is like the security guard and he is in his late 30's I would say. My sister and I are now in our 20 and for some reason she thinks that he likes me. I doubt that he likes me because he knows that I am not interested in him im pretty sure and he knows that our age difference would not make me anyway interested in him. But I have been noticing that he has been paying way more attention to me lately like I am the only one in the room. He will always greet me and smile at me and when someone else comes in he will act like they are not even there. He always tries to make talk with me he will come up to me and say something and then he will talk away and leave. He literally goes out of his way to see if I need anything or if I am alright. Once I was walking with my sister and I tripped and fell he actually stopped what he was doing ran over to me (pushing my sister out of the way from helping me) so that he could help me and see if I was alright he even offered to carry me to the bathroom. When I come in he is always trying to help me fix things like if I have a messed up shirt or if my shoe breaks or if my makeup is messed up. When I am talking with my friends he is standing right there listening into my conversations. He always watches me from a distance and when I try to keep an eye on him he disapears and reappears right behind me. It is intersting because he watches me like a boyfriend would watch his girlfriend or how a dad would watch his daughter only the guy and I are not related and we don't really know each other like that. My mom does not like the fact that he is getting so close to me she even confronted him once and asked him if he was a child molester. I seriously do not see anything that is wrong with what he is doing other than him trying to be helpful and nice a little too much. Advice is there something that I am missing that everyone is not.
Is it strange for an older guy to pay this much attention to me?

NICOSIA, Cyprus – Russian tourist arrivals in Cyprus recorded a spectacular increase of 43% between January-August 2016, compared to the corresponding period of 2015.
Cyprus welcomed 556,000 Russian tourists, the second largest nationality after the Brits.
According to tourist authorities in Russia, Cyprus managed to simplify the visa process and become an alternative destination for Russians, after the closure of Turkey and Egypt.
As a result, an increasing number of hotels in locations like Ayia Napa that closed in late November, will now stay in operation during winter.

- Well, now let's see here. It seems to me first of all that almost
any way you choose to slice this cheese, in the end there will be
*some* compensation paid out – it's just a question of how much, and
who pays.
Taking things chronologically, I would first pose a question
regarding the "putting pressure on sub-contractors" allegation. If I
were sitting on a jury and heard that tossed out, my first thought
would be "Okay, prove it." I'd want to see or hear through witnesses
and/or documentation evidence of the alleged "pressure." On its
face, that statement is believable but credible evidence would be
most helpful.
The information suggests that Plaintiff is (or was) employed by one
of the sub-contractors –as a "finisher" of sorts. Is that a correct
The "kick a brick" test alluded to quite frankly stinks as evidence
of "safety." Granted, 99 of 100 times it might prove sufficient, but
there are better ways – especially where ultimate safety is at
issue. Granted, this case does not involve a toppled brick chimney
or the like, but the underlying approach to assessing or assuring
safety should be somewhat similar. If that mother goes and something
happens, somebody's keister is gunna be in a sling.
Defendant's allegation that "this did not happen – nobody saw it…"
is nonsense at best. It makes me think of that question that starts
out "If a tree falls in the woods and there's no one around…" At
least two others "saw" the accident. (Note to Plaintiff: Get
yourself a bloodhound and say "C'mon Rover boy, let's go hunting!")
The nature of Plaintiff's injury and subsequent treatment … if I
were a juror, I'd want to hear expert testimony on that from the
doctor(s) who did the work; Nothing too technical, but enough to
settle the matter in the average "reasonable" mind.
The single item of any weight against Plaintiff would it seems to me
be the alleged videotape. None of the rest of it matters –
particularly the prior felonies.
"Every time the Plaintiff goes to the doctor he tells a different
version. Sometimes it is one brick, sometimes two bricks. The next
time it is several bricks." Here again – nonsense which could be
easily explained away. Whether it was one, ten, or a hundred – it
only takes one!
I could go on, but will not. I will say this much in closing: in all
probability, Somebody is going to kick out bucks here – because an
injury was obviously done. If defendants expect to win, they had
better put forth more *relevant* information than is given here. I'd
almost be tempted to offer a settlement, equally divided between the
site owners and the contractors. There's just not enough here of any
consequence that would allow them to escape responsibility.
The defendent has a real problem in that there is plenty of research
acknowledging that back pain cannot be ascertained by any physical measures
and that
conditions which make one patient immobile with pain do not affect others.
I'm wondering if the reactions would be the same if this were a middle aged
wealthy woman horseback rider who went to visit the house and had the same
accident (and similar previous incidents from throws)?
Back surgery and fusion is no fun, and there are zillions of 'failed'
surgeries (Amy should just trot out some of the previous cases!) which leave
miserable. Uh oh, there are the next suits in this case about to be
"not able to work" is iffy - he certainly can't go back to the work he was
doing previously. As for the bicycle ride, that may be an attempt to regain
physical loss which shouldn't necessarily be held against him.
Besides, I hate developers - I'll bet there wasn't one piece of affordablel
property in this tract!
With the wheelbarrow incident, evidence of post-accident activity (is it
contrary to doctor's orders), omissions and changing stories, I would vote
against awarding him anything.

La Cambuse du Saunier in Gruissan, France
A rustic outdoor restaurant pairing fresh seafood with an unforgettable view of hued salterns
Le Salin de l'île Saint-Martin is a special place in the town of Gruissan where even locals indulge in snapping a few photos. Located by the Mediterranean coast, the tremendous salt evaporation ponds (over 400 hectares) host the production of la fleur de sel (sea salt) and oysters. Accompanied by local wines from the Languedoc region, the fare is presented with utmost pride at the outdoor restaurant La Cambuse du Saunier, just a few feet away from the salterns. And thanks to microorganisms that thrive as salinity increases, the ponds were colored a stunning gradient of pink when we dined there this week. It makes for a beautiful contrast when there's not a cloud in the blue sky—though you'll definitely make out kites soaring and dipping in the background, as the windy local beaches are perfect for kitesurfing.
Like the design of the outdoor set up (utensils come wrapped up in a tea towel), so the menu is simple and limited to a few options. Start off with the plate of raw seafood: Saint Martin's oysters, as well as shrimp, sea snails, mussels and more. For the main course, the whole sea bass (or whatever the local catch of the day is), oven-baked in coarse salt makes you wonder why fish ever needed sauce.
La Cambuse du Saunier is open from May to October for lunch and dinner, and Le Salin de l'île Saint-Martin's site also has a shop where you can stock up on the harvested salt and other local products. Check out the slideshows for more photos.

I fired up my trusty KA last night to make a batch of royal icing, but within a few moments, it was obvious something was odd ... it was a most unappetizing shade of gray. The longer I beat it, the paler the color became, so it's pretty much white now, but ....
It was a new RI recipe in which I beat the meringue powder and water BEFORE adding sugar ... has anyone had this happen? Do you think it's usable? This has never happened before. I tried a new batch and the same thing happened.
Any advice appreciated! Thanks.
Hmm.....It may be a reaction of the meringue with the metal bowl. When I was taught to make RI with egg white I was specifically told to use a glass or Pyrex bowl. If still too grey after beating add a touch of blue food color. (Another thought, is your KA leaking oil?)
Try mixing it by hand in a glass bowl either with a fork or with a hand held beater and let us know how it turns out.

Dick was borned and raised in Chicage and Christie has midwestern farming roots. Christie's wonderous visit to Bordeaux, France in 1976 laid the groundwork for a lifelong interest in the wine industry. Chicago was the national wine auction center in the 1980's, and the Reeds availed themselves of interesting speakers and fabulous wines passing through the auction scene.
Dick and Christie left the Chicago area and moved to Hood River in 1992. A year later they bought what has become Blue Chip Farm and Vineyard. The old fruitstand is now the tasting room, an old barn and stable became the the winery! Dick actively manages the vineyard and pear orchard, while Christie helps in the tasting room, organizes bottling and financial matters. The month of October is filled with havest and crush, and Christie is usually found on the forklift.
Keely Kopetz
Keely, the eldest daughter of Dick & Christie joined the family business in 2010. She came with enthusiasm and lots of experience in customer service and retail as well as a job for three years working for the government. Her official title is General Manager which involves managing the tasting room and Wine Club. And of course, helps with crush and harvest and works in the winery as well. Multi-tasking is one of her strongest points!
Keely enjoys playing USTA tennis, hiking with her dogs, and vacationing in the Florida Keys with her husband, Pete. She lives on Blue Chip farm with her husband and their dog Stinky. In May 2014, they welcomed a daughter, Vinette, into the family. You will often see Vinette in the tasting room on weekends "working" with Keely.

The summer is over and you need to pack away your outdoor patio items. You have the grill stored in your garage and the pool is closed. The only thing left is covering up your outside table and chairs. Uncovered patio tables and chairs are easily damaged by winter's rain, ice and snow. If the furnishings are to remain outside, you need to cover them with a material that will keep the elements away from the table and chairs' surfaces. The most inexpensive and durable covering is a tarpaulin.
Tarpaulins & Other Supplies Needed
To cover your outside table and chairs, you need to buy a tarpaulin (tarp) for your table and one for each of the outside chairs you want to cover. Do not buy one large tarpaulin and expect it to cover everything. You want to cover each chair with a tarp so ice, snow and other elements will not damage the furnishings. You also need a roll of polyrope (do not use nylon rope---it is affected by weather elements) and weights to hold the tarpaulin in place. Note that you can use concrete blocks, bricks or other heavy objects as weights.
Applying the Tarpaulin
Before covering your outside table and chairs, clean them off with a damp cloth or towel to remove any dust, dirt and grime build-up. Dry the table and chairs with a clean towel or place them in the sun to dry. If your outside chairs contain any cushions, remove the cushions and store them inside of your house in a plastic bag. Next, wrap each chair in a tarpaulin so the entire chair is covered. Then tie a piece of polyrope around the covered chair. Place a weight in the seat of each covered chair.
To cover the table, lay a tarpaulin that is larger than the table on the ground. Then place the table outside-down on top of the tarpaulin. Pull the tarpaulin up and over the table's legs. Fold down the excess tarpaulin around the legs tightly and wrap a piece of polyrope around the legs. Make sure the table and its legs are completely covered with the tarp. Stand the table on its legs and place a weight on top of the table.
Place the covered table and chairs close together on your patio or other outdoor space. Then wrap a piece of polyrope around the entire bundle of covered furnishings.
Where to Find Tarpaulins
Tarpaulins are available at most retail, hardware and home improvement stores. You can also purchase them off the Internet. Tarpaulins come in a variety of different sizes and colors. The brown, green and silver tarpaulins are a bit stronger than the blue tarps.
Unpacking Your Outside Table & Chairs
Once the winter season is over, just untie the tarpaulins from around the table and chairs. Store the tarpaulins for next winter in a plastic trash bag or large cloth bag in a cool and dry location. Also save the rope and weights so you don't have to buy them again.

40 Years of Leadership
From a giant leap for mankind to a history-making Presidential campaign, CSNews chronicled and helped define a new retail industry.
This year, Convenience Store News embarks on its 40th year. The oldest continuously published news publication for the convenience store industry was founded in 1969 by Harry Trautgott. The convenience store industry was barely an industry at all then. There were fewer than 11,000 c-stores in the United States and few people could even agree on the definition of a "convenience store."
Looking at the pages of our early issues reveals the dramatic changes in both the convenience store industry and in CSNews over the past four decades. At the time, the industry was beset with economic problems, battles with the government over unfair taxation and onerous regulation, inflation, vendor indifference, and soaring crime (one page one article reported on a Houston-based c-store chain owner who asked the City Council for permission to arm his store managers with handguns because of a wave of robbery and violence at his stores).
But Trautgott had a vision, and he spent a great deal of his working life evangelizing about the future of c-stores. Then, as now, CSNews was a big supporter of the industry's fledgling trade association -- today's NACS -- which was then headed by QuikTrip's founder Chet Cadieux, who became the first industry executive inducted into the CSNews' Hall of Fame.
Trautgott also recognized the industry's need for reliable data, and after less than one year of publication, he researched and published the first CSNews Industry Report, which continues to serve its original purpose of charting the growth of the industry into today's ginormous $569 billion, 146,000-store business.
On reflection, I am struck by the fact that many things are not that different today than they were in 1969. CSNews' founding year was marked by many notable, dubious and distasteful events in the world outside of convenience stores -- Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, thousands of baby boomers gathered for a weekend of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll at Woodstock, while the Charles Manson murders and Chappaquiddick were the scandals of the day.
Today, we have the inauguration of America's first black president, millions of baby boomers panicked about their shrinking net eggs as they near retirement age, and scandals galore, from Illinois Governor Blagojevich selling Congressional seats to Bernard Madoff's alleged $50-billion Ponzi scheme.
While we are very proud of the role we played in the development of the c-store industry, this anniversary year celebration is about much more than just the 40th birthday of CSNews. It is an industry celebration of the hard work, vision, and entrepreneurial spirit of all the retailers, suppliers and wholesalers who have made the c-store industry the most vibrant and interesting channel of retailing today. That's why we are proud to launch another industry-first -- this 40-year anniversary microsite.
In this special anniversary section, we've picked some of the best news stories and events covered by CSNews over the past 40 years. But, we also tried not to dwell on our own accomplishments, leaving it to many of the leading industry players of both yesterday and today to express their own thoughts and remembrances of the convenience store industry's colorful history. The centerpiece of the package is a 40-year timeline highlighting the companies, events and trends that helped shape today's convenience store industry and our Industry Scrapbook, a look back through photos at the people, celebrations, conventions and events that made our industry special. Weighing in with their personal thoughts is a line-up of industry luminaries -- many of them CSNews Hall of Fame members -- in a special 40th anniversary version of our popular "Infrequently Asked Questions" feature.
You, our industry readers, will also have an opportunity to contribute to this microsite. Don't hesitate to contribute your thoughts, ideas and listings of significant milestones, products and innovations that you think had the greatest impact on the industry. To do so, please visit our Spare Change blog section dedicated to the past 40 years in convenience retailing by clicking here.
And check back with us frequently, as we add your comments and contributions, as well as additional anniversary features currently being developed to run exclusively in our special 40th birthday section.

Marc Cherry's 'Devious Maids' Casts 'Heroes' Alumna Dania Ramirez As First Lead
8 Comments
Yeah!!!! She was my favorite in heroes and amazing in x-men!
Are you being sarcastic?I can't tell, but she was one of the most hated characters on Heroes and a terrible interpretation of Callisto.
Her character was a huge cry baby, but she was just one of many things that led to HEROES' downfall after an amazing first season.
Ugh, this show sounds very stereotypical. I wish there were better roles for Latinas instead of the usual "maid" roles and whatnot.
To justify the expense of Matc as showrunner/creator this series badly needs TV Stars you can put on a poster–ABC just learned a very expensive lesson from THE RIVER when it comes to that.
I hope they cast eva longoria as aone of the lead maides nd she gets top billing for once. :-)
Dania was not only the best in x-men but has graced us with immaculate performances in Sopranos, Heroes and Entourage. Now us "Desperate Husbands" can't wait to see her in Marc Cherry's Devious Maids, sweeeeeeeet! Two thumbs up for Dania!!!!
This show sounds AWESOME! Cannot wait.
This show just seems… unnecessary in this day and age.

Effective Ways to Use Grocery Customer Recovery and Retail Customer Feedback
Having a good grocery customer recovery and retail customer feedback program in place allows these businesses to see themselves as their customers see them.
For grocers and retailers, collecting, compiling and analyzing feedback enables them to address customer issues, both positive and negative, and to explore avenues available for customer retention. Having a good grocery customer recovery and retail customer feedback program in place allows these businesses to see themselves as their customers see them. If the Golden Rule were to be applied to your business, how well does this feedback indicate that you are worthy of being recommended or defended to family members, friends and colleagues?
One of the most effective ways to see your company from the customer's perspective is to assume the role of a customer. Taking the time to negotiate the aisles of your grocery store or retail establishment while aboard a wheelchair style conveyance will identify problems and situations encountered by customers that you may not be aware of. Since the checkout area is the last impression point, it must be meticulously evaluated for cleanliness and efficiency.
Engaging the services of an experienced customer feedback and recovery company with live representatives available 24/7/365 is paramount. Experienced company agents are trained to analyze feedback and to employ methods that will enable grocers and retailers to placate customers and reassure them that their opinions are important and their business is valued.
In addition to speaking with customers live, experienced agents have the ability to categorize customer feedback to gain insight relative to the number of daytime shoppers and after-work, post 9-to-5, shoppers visiting your establishment on a daily basis. Businesses whose checkout process includes the solicitation of a shopper's ZIP code provide a new avenue for experienced companies to use when tailoring an effective customer recovery or feedback program for a client company.
An experienced customer feedback and recovery company has the capability to close the loop with a customer, to offer suggestions relative to meeting customers' expectations and to interact more effectively with them.

Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
A Tube journey is the norm for millions of London commuters but for the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall on Tuesday 30th January, it was their first joint trip using the Underground.
Charles and Camilla celebrated the 150th anniversary of the capital's transport network by touring a small part of it and visiting some stations.
The Prince and Duchess travelled by Tube riding for a few minutes just one stop from Farringdon to King's Cross on a Metropolitan line train.
Charles last travelled on the Tube network in April 1979 when he opened the first stage of the Jubilee line, while Camilla is thought to have used the London Underground (LU) in the past.
The royal couple were given specially designed oyster cards celebrating the Tube's anniversary and used the pre-paid smart cards to swipe their way through the barriers at Farringdon.
They both qualify for a Freedom Pass for the over-60s, but their oyster cards had £10 credit for the journey, which costs £2.10.
The cards are expected to be retained by the Royal Collection.
In their carriage were senior LU and Transport for London staff and Charles and Camilla sat next to each other on the train bound for Uxbridge in west London, while most of their hosts stood.
The Prince and Duchess travelled along the route of the underground's first line which opened on January 9 1863 and ran services between Paddington and Farringdon.
A brand new train was used for the journey, part of LU's new S-Stock trains, which are being introduced to 40% of the Tube network.
The walk-through, air-conditioned trains are built at the Bombardier facility in Derby, which Charles visited in February last year.
Although the train was empty, members of the public boarded at Farringdon along with the royals but a group of policemen standing further down the carriage meant commuters could not reach the heir to the throne and his wife.
Camilla sat opposite Metropolitan line manager Angela Back and speaking about the immaculate train said: "Very nice, very smart."
"Just one stop?" Charles asked Tube bosses when he and the Duchess arrived at King's Cross station after their three-minute trip from Farringdon.
Prior to boarding, Howard Collins, the Tube's chief operating officer, asked Charles if he would like to drive the train - as he did a year ago during the Bombardier factory visit.
"I will do as I'm told," Charles jokingly replied.
Spotting the media waiting on the same platform, he asked: "Are you all coming on the train?"
He asked Tube managing director Mike Brown whether Transport for London was able to recycle any parts from the old trains.
Mr Brown said this was done as far as possible but there were problems with asbestos.
During the journey, TfL commissioner Sir Peter Hendy told Charles about a steam train that had run on the Tube two weeks ago to mark the anniversary.
"Presumably the whole tunnel gets filled with soot?" Charles asked.
Ms Back said after the journey:
"It was a real honour to sit opposite them - I wasn't quite expecting that.
"She (Camilla) was asking me whether or not I had ever been stuck on one of the trains, when you are led out the front (through the tunnel).
"Luckily I have not.
"She also asked whether you could walk from one end of the train to the other.
"I spoke about how the new trains have CCTV and are a lot safer.
"She asked whether or not we can get more people on the trains, which obviously we can."

So I met this girl at a club a little over a week ago, got her number and I was talking to her quite a bit. Anyway we ended up not talking for a couple of days, so I assumed (wrongfully I suppose) that she wasn't interested. To me thats fair enough. However, she messaged me out of nowhere a couple of days ago asking me if I was doing anything this weekend. I said I was considering going to the one club in my town but I did say I was doubtful, normally I don't go out on Saturday here cause it sucks. Anyway she said she was going to a different club so I thought nothing of i, but on the day she suddenly tells me she's going to the club i was thinking of going to. At this point I still didn't pick up that maybe she wanted to see me (sheepish dude right here) and I didn't make it clear that I wasn't going out at all. Anyway around 10.30pm she messaged saying she was gonna be in town at 11. I was caught off guard because I had no idea that maybe she wanted to hangout. The other issue is that my friends hate this particular club (I'm not too big a fan either) so I would've been going alone. Anyway after she said she was gonna be in town in like half an hour I stupidly said "I'll let you know if I'm coming out" to which she said "you don't know?" and then she didn't respond and I'm pretty sure she's mad at me. I don't know what to do, I feel like leaving it is my best option but this girl is seriously pretty and I don't want to give up yet. I've thought about maybe calling at some point but I'm worried about her reaction.
So what I'm asking is, do you guys reckon I've screwed this up beyond repair and if not, what would be the best way to fix it?
Most Helpful Girl
You weren't rude, mean, or awful, so you're not beyond repair. Just be honest with her, "Hey, you seem really cool and I'd like to hang out with you. Sorry about being weird last weekend, my friend and I have mixed feelings about that club. Do you want to plan to go to X club with me next Friday?" She'll likely respond, and go from there. Hopefully she's still interested, if a guy did that to me I'd assume he wasn't interested, so, make up for that.00|00|0

Disgusted: Australian lifter Simplice Ribouem was hoping for a gold souvenir for his son. Photo: Getty Images
The Clyde Auditorium, the venue for the Commonwealth Games weightlifting competition, makes you think a Scotsman has seen the Sydney Opera House on holidays and drawn it from memory. Not many works by Verdi or Puccini, sung by Sutherland or Kenny, could have contained the melodrama, the passion, the tragedy, triumph and sheer decibel levels of the men's 94kg finals on Tuesday night.
Weightlifting is different. 'Gie it laldy', which means make a loud noise, is urged upon Glaswegians at every games venue, but nowhere do they gie it so laldy and so generously as at the Clyde. Even the officials and doctors, when presented before the competition to the accompaniment of LMFAO's Sexy and I Know It, got a huge cheer, the Scottish judge receiving rock-star treatment. When the nine finalists got to lifting, they were all heroes.
Gold medallist: Steven Kari of Papua New Guinea. Photo: Getty Images
But this was the storm before the hurricane. In the snatch, Australia's Simplice Ribouem took the lead with a 153kg lift. Ribouem had defected from Cameroon to Australia after the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. He has a two-year-old son, Nathan, to whom he has dedicated the gold medal he won at Delhi in 2010, and here he wanted another for his one-year-old, Samuel.
There was plenty of 94kg talent standing in his way. Weightlifting gives the spectator a chance to study and colour the lifters' characters. There was Nigeria's Olosula 'TGI' Friday, who was surely weighed at 93kg when he was 15 years old. Among leaders in the snatch, Friday was first man eliminated in the clean and jerk, failing to make a lift.
Content with a medal: Chandrakant Mali of India. Photo: AP
Next to go was the baby-faced Canadian David Samayoa, and then Malaysia's Mohammed Musa, who signed off from every lift, successful or not, with a military salute to the rapt crowd.
The weights were being added to the bar like red meat patties, now reaching 175kg, the signal moment in the Commonwealth competition when the bar began to bend under the strain. England's bespectacled Owen Boxall might have looked like a beefed-up choir master, but safe to say he doesn't have a problem with anyone calling him Four Eyes. He tottered under 181kg, but held it.
The cheering was great for all competitors, but greatest for the next man, Scotland's Peter Kirkbride. In his blue singlet and tattooed shoulders, Kirkbride looked like nothing so much as a Clydebank shipbuilder looking for something to rivet. He got 182kg above his head but began quick-marching backwards, dropping the barbell before he marched off the platform. Eliminated at that weight, Kirkbride was distraught.
Wobbly: Owen Boxall of England. Photo: AP
Entering at 183kg was India's lifter, Chandrakant Mali, conspicuous for his lack of display. Wearing a normal grey T-shirt with normal grey sweat stains, Mali went about his business without theatrics, without emotion, just with pure effectiveness. He took the lead. The Australian Ribouem promptly changed his entry point from 185kg to 188kg.
Now it got tense. Boxall missed at 186kg, hobbling off injured. England's Sonny Webster, channelling Charlie Sheen from Platoon in a red bandanna, went out at the same weight. This left just the Indian Mali, Australia's Ribouem and Papua New Guinea's Steven Kari, who had snatched 149kg, four kilos less than Ribouem, and had stated his entry point in the clean and jerk at a daring, perhaps overconfident, 200kg.
At 188kg, Ribouem appeared. Battling a knee injury, he sighed deeply over the bar, as if asking whether he had to do this. He lifted it easily (which is easy to say), pumped both fists and swiped his left hand across his face as if catching a fly.
Mohammad Faiz Musa of Malaysia. Photo: Getty Images
Mali had his first wobble at that weight, but got the bar overhead. The Indian had one lift left, but was in a medal position. Backstage, the tactical battle was abuzz. The coaches of Ribouem and Kari had been rushing the officials' desk to change their nominated weights as busily as if putting in tuck shop orders before the recess bell. Ribouem changed his next weight from 193kg to 195kg. This forced Mali to attempt 194kg; he went out, a medal in his keeping.
The whole time, PNG's Kari had loomed in the distance. Now he changed his entry attempt from 200kg to 195kg. He stormed onto the stage, attacking the rosin bowl as if intent on tearing it out of the floor. He charged across to the bar, pulled it onto his chest, and was knocked onto his backside. Next attempt, he avoided the bowl and got the weight up.
Now Ribouem thought he knew what he needed. Weighing more than the Papuan, he had to lift one kilo more. He chose 196kg for his second clean and jerk. He got it overhead, and everything was shaking – everything. But Ribouem held it. In his celebration, he nearly threw himself off the platform.
The Clyde Auditorium. Photo: Getty Images
Kari, then, had one more chance. If he lifted 200kg, he was forcing Ribouem to go up. Green weights went onto the end of the bar, gherkins on the meat patties. It was all down to this.
As Kari lifted the bar, he appeared to touch his thigh with his elbow. He got the weight up, but two of the three judges had seen the touch and gave him red lights. No lift. Gold to Australia.
Uproar broke out, the crowd swarming against the judges. So much for Sexy and I Know It. The opera had its villains. The audience thought the popular Papuan had raised the bar and beaten the Australian. They didn't understand the technicality and saw another victory to the glutted Australians, injustice to the poor Papuans. All the crowd noise that had been switched on for the lifters was now turned against the judges.
Crowd favourite Peter Kirkbride bombs out. Photo: Getty Images
Then, incredibly, the competition was suspended. The jury was reconsidering its decision. Two minutes passed, then three, and the announcement was made: the jury was reversing its ruling and allowing Kari's lift to stand. Ribouem, gold in his hands one minute and nothing the next, had to lift 201kg. Deflated, he got the bar to his chest but was bowled over by it. He flipped himself onto his feet, ripped off his belt and threw it to the floor. His coaches gesticulated at the judges in disgust.
Receiving his medal, the jubilant Kari made as if to lift Ribouem. But the Australian was in no mood for jokes. 'Next time I see him, I will smack him,' he said of Kari. 'He knows he did the wrong thing.' In the blow-up of all blow-ups, Ribouem accused the Papuan of turning the crowd and pressuring the judges. Certainly the whole of Scotland will cheer for any underdog against Australia. Ribouem said he was more angry at the judges than at Kari, but he said a lot more about how he was a better lifter than Kari and would wreak terrible vengeance in future. And his younger son would not have a gold, only silver, as a souvenir. It was theatre, it was a stink, it was great sport; it was a night at the opera. It was weightlifting.
