The holiday shopping season officially kicks off tonight and we know it can be difficult to find presents for horror fans that seem to have everything. To help make things easier, we've put together the initial list of our holiday gift suggestions, which include cannibal wine, classic horror shirts, vinyl figures and Blu-ray collections.
While a handful of these items are only available at select websites, you should be able to find some pretty good sales on other items starting tonight. Specifically, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart will have big sales on Blu-ray/DVD titles and video games. We'd like to give Tamika Jones a big thanks for helping put this guide together.
Silence of the Lambs Wine: "The Alamo Drafthouse's 2013 Signature Wines are an oenophilic nod to noted gourmand, wine connoisseur and psychopath Hannibal Lecter. "The Chianti Slurp" is an iconic wine in film moment, celebrated with two wines worthy of Lecter's palette.
To purchase either of these signature wines from The Alamo Drafthouse, go to: http://www.silenceofthelambswines.com/

Dead Rising 3: "Dead Rising 3 puts you in the zombie-ravaged city of Los Perdidos, California. Do you have what it takes to escape before a military strike wipes out the entire city? As mysterious mechanic Nick Ramos, you'll rely on improvised weapons to battle off the hordes of undead while you explore the massive open world.
Set 10 years after the events of Fortune City in Dead Rising 2, players are introduced to Nick Ramos, a young mechanic with a strange tattoo and a mysterious past, who must find a way to escape a city full of zombies before an impending military strike wipes the city of Los Perdidos, and everyone in it, off the map. Nick can't do it alone – he must join up with other survivors to stay alive. They must fight their way out before it's too late.

Get ready for a new generation of zombie-slaying thrills."
Vincent Price Shirt: Fright Rags releases great horror shirt designs every month, but this one was our favorite of the year. Not only does it feature horror legend, Vincent Price, but it also does a great job of paying tribute to his horror career with over a dozen references to his films.
"A super smooth screenprint on the softest 100% pre-shrunk ringspun cotton. Remember, when this shirt sells out, it will go into our graveyard section and only be reprinted if it receives enough votes. Grab yours today before it's gone!" [Price: $21.95]
For more information on the design or to purchase this shirt, visit: http://www.fright-rags.com/priceless-p-921.html
Funko Pop Vinyl Figures: If you're looking for stocking stuffers, we really like Funko's line of POP! Vinyl figures. For horror fans, they have an extensive set of figures from The Walking Dead TV series, featuring zombies and characters from the first three seasons. They also have a number of 80's slashers, including Jason, Freddy, Mike Myers, and Leatherface. Even if you're shopping for someone who doesn't like horror, they have figures from The Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, and more than a dozen other properties. You can view a listing of some of their top figures on Amazon. *Photo above thanks to Pixel Dan.

ory out with aching lieart for the
ones who are lost, we may shed tears
over their pale forms as they lay
stretched before us, but does this suf
fice? Does it satisfy the wrong done
them? Are we going to stop and
wipe our tears away and forget such'
a contemptible acf"as-.that which has
just been dealt the innocent victims
of the Lusitania? Are we so weak
in aggressiveness as to let it pass
only with an accepted apology and
without any due respect for our f ut
ture concern?
Since the beginning of hostilities
we have been abused by the opposing
nations now at war Our commerce
has been stopped, our ships taken to
port without any good reason, seized
and confiscated; but when the ex
treme is dealt us, when the sacrific
ing of the lives of innocent women
and children seem to be the only ex
cuse for carrying out a blockading
effect of warring nations, then it is
time for our nation to take heed and
put a stop to such dastardly practices
and command all powers to discre
tion, care and due caution before
sinking a boat of any description
without first ascertaining as to the
identity of the boat and whether it
contains passengers. Then before
the policy of torpedoing is carried out
to see that the crew and passengers
are safely put in boats and are out
of danger.
While we cannot restore to friends
the ones who are gone, or alleviate
the suffering of the injured, or re
place the men who help build up our
nation and their usefulness in the
world's work which they were spe
cialized in, we can as a nation de
mand our rights upon the high seas
and have them respected; we can as
a unit assist our president by show
ing our sincere appreciation of what
he is attempting to do for the dis
tressed and disheartened victims of
the Lusitania, or for us as a nation in
protecting us from the frenzied coun
tries not at war, and giving him our
full support in this trying and un
settled poHod of the world's history.

FITTEST. At no time has the the
ory of Darwin been better demon
strated than in the present European
The chutch for years has done her
very best to discredit Darwin, but
without avaiL It was superstition
against science. The church claimed
that man is a special creation and
that only through religion can he at
tain perfection.
Darwin maintained that man is de
scended from some lower form, a
product of evolution, and therefore
belongs to the animal species and
governed by the law of nature. For
instance: Natural selection, struggle
for existence, survival of the fittest,
So when we consider the rapacious
actions of the nations across the
ocean after so many centuries of the
so-called Christian religion, does it
not prove conclusively that Darwin's
theory was right and that man is de
scended from the lower animals, and
that struggle for existence and sur
vival of the fittest will be the decid
ing factor in the European conflict,

HEAVY rainfall overnight and this morning has led to problems on roads around Brentwood.
Rush hour commuters have been delayed around the town as some roads become virtually unpassable due to flood waters.
Weald Park Way in South Weald was one of the roads flooded while a burst water drain in Myrtle Road near Brentwood train station has also caused localised flooding.
A flood warning has also been issued by the Environment Agency for the River Wid between Ingatestone and Writtle.
Emergency service officials have warned drivers to stay cautious when attempting to drive through flood waters.
An Essex Police spokesperson said: "Drivers should slow down and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
"When driving through flood water choose a low gear and do not attempt it if the water is fast flowing or too deep.
"Driving too fast, even in relatively shallow water can cause water to be ingested into the engine.
"Also test your brakes after leaving the water."

Best Black Friday Deals 2017
New Custom PC - Should I go with Cougar-Extreme?
Hi everyone,
Advice much appreciated as although I'm not new to computers, I am new to the pitfalls of ordering a custom pc online.
So: I need to get a new pc in the next month. After having a long look around, and deciding against many of the usual custom pc makers (eg. Mesh, Cyberpower, etc) on the basis of cost, flexibility, or bad reviews, I came across Cougar-Extreme, which seems to offer outstanding value. This is the rig I had in mind:
INTEL CORE I5 2500k; XIGMATEK SCORPION HDT-S1283 COOLER; 4GB Corsair Memory DDR3 1600 (2 x 2GB); 60Gb SSD sata 2.5; 1000GB SATA Hard Drive; ASUS P8P67 LE REV3, P67(B3) motherboard; ATI HD 6850 1024MB PCI Express graphics card; M59 Midi Tower Case; OCZ 600W PSU - STEALTH XTREAM 2 PSU; DVD+/- RW - 22X Samsung SATA; No Operating System.
This comes to about 740 quid, which is at the upper end of my budget (650-750), but which seems superb value for what I think is a really good system.
So I'd like to hear people's experiences of Cougar-Extreme. I've found a couple of really positive reviews, but would like to confirm these before I spend so much money. I emailed Cougar-Extreme yesterday to ask their advice about one or two aspects of the system, but they've yet to reply.
Any advice on the potential system would also be much appreciated (eg should I get a z68 motherboard?).
Thanks everyone.
Novatech used to be well thought of in this Forum.
I will side with iscanut on this if they do not bother to get back to you in 2 days.
Try elsewhere.
I was in the same position as you a while ago, I emailed them for a quote and also for some answers to a few questions but they did not get back to me. see this thread Cougar poor service
I went with wired2fire wired2fire in the end and have been happy with the product they supplied.
They actually got back to me already, offering a quote with an upgraded cooler and a better motherboard while cutting a good twenty quid off the price I had ended up with using the online configurator. I'm pretty impressed. I probably won't end up buying the pc for another month or so - no point until I've finished moving house - so I expect to have more contact with Cougar-Extreme discussing ways of tweaking the system before I buy. Will report back on my experiences.
In the meantime I'll check out Novatech, Chillblast, and wired2fire just in case - thanks for the suggestions!
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

For centuries, lacrosse is a popular sport, but one primarily for men to take part in. Throughout the previous couple of decades, women have ended up being called practical participants on the lacrosse field. While this occasion continues to grow for them, it does not get the protection or eminence that is consisted of with the video game of lacrosse for males. Additionally, there are far less women who delight in viewers and lacrosse for this than with pvc soccer goal for the male counterpart.
The overall video game of lacrosse is modified for ladies, mainly to decrease the amount of physical contact that occurs among the gamers while on the market. They are still needed to use eye use and a mouth guard as injuries can and often do occur. Another element for ladies's lacrosse is that the pockets of the sticks are more shallow than those utilized by the guys. The result of this is that the ball is more challenging to catch and it can't be shot with as much speed.
Women's lacrosse teams also have fun with two more individuals on the field then your guys's groups permit. The united team includes a goalie, three assaulters, five mid fielders, and three defenders. Seven of the participants presume either the positioning of the attacker or the defender based on who has deal with of the ball at any provided moment. The other 4 participants and the goalie aren't permitted to cross the restraint line or maybe a penalty will unquestionably be enforced for the team.
Monitoring is probably the area of the game that varies probably the most between women's and guys's lacrosse with soccer rebounder. Ladies aren't permitted to examine due to the fact that the males are allowed to do. If a check occurs, the ball will certainly be transferred to the opposing group by the umpire.
As lacrosse grows in reputation in The United States and Canada and Europe, ladies get the opportunity to play lacrosse professionally. That females's lacrosse rules alter from males's may be the reason for the difference in recognition in between the two varieties of play. Some have ventured that before guidelines are the exact same, females's lacrosse won't receive the very same position afforded to men's lacrosse. There is no proof that the rules will alter in the future.

Thanks to Sunday afternoon's heroics at the Garden, this Knicks season isn't over yet.
It could end Wednesday night or it could go a little longer than that, but the Knicks appear to have seen enough to convince them that Mike Woodson is the right man to coach the team into the future. Frank Isola of the Daily News reports that the team has started talking to Woodson about an extension that would rip off the interim tag and make him the head coach without modifiers.
According to the report, Woodson has spoken directly to James Dolan about staying on with the team next season, although Woodson, speaking to media Tuesday, denied that he's started working on a new deal. It's a wise strategy for Woodson, who doesn't want to get caught looking out for himself while the team is still trying to extend its season.
The argument in favor of Woodson is pretty clear. The Knicks went 18-6 under him in the regular season and showed a commitment to defense that was rarely in evidence during Mike D'Antoni's run as the team's head coach.
Woodson also found a way to get Carmelo Anthony to buy into all phases of the game, something that resulted in the best stretch of play that 'Melo has turned in since coming to New York. Woodson's secret was probably that he wasn't D'Antoni, but sports is a results business so that certainly helped his cause.
Less thrilling has been Woodson's inability to adjust when things aren't going well for the Knicks, even if you eliminate the playoffs from consideration because of the depleted roster that Woodson has to work with these days. The Knicks had no Plan B when letting 'Melo play Hero Ball wasn't working for them -- outside of letting J.R. Smith shoot as frequently as humanly possible -- and that can't be the case when next season rolls around.
Woodson's history with the Hawks is long enough to know that he isn't going to shy away from isolation on the offensive end, but it is imperative that the team uses their first offseason since adding Anthony to create a system that allows both him and Amar'e Stoudemire to thrive. Sunday showed that it could happen, so the issue now is making it happen on a regular basis.
Talking about an extension now sends a pretty strong signal that the Knicks aren't looking to make a run at bringing Phil Jackson back to the team he won a ring with, something that's likely to be met with frowns from some in the gallery. While Jackson hasn't implicitly said he'd return to coaching, he's never been shy about talking about his love for the city or the team and there's likely a price that would lead him back to the Garden.
It's tough to say no to Phil Jackson, but a little stability wouldn't be the worst thing for this team. The Knicks have spent so much time building and rebuilding over the last couple of years that the prospect of a calm offseason devoted to making Anthony, Stoudemire, Jeremy Lin (assuming he's back) into a cohesive unit is fairly appealing.
Outside of Jackson, it's hard to see any other coach that should be given much of a look other than Woodson. Jerry Sloan couldn't make it work with Deron Williams, which makes the prospect of dealing with 'Melo a dicey one at best, and John Calipari is best left where the salary cap doesn't determine the quality of the players on his team.
Other choices are going to be pretty similar to Woodson. Retreads or career assistants without Woodson's track record of success don't make much sense when Woodson is already in position.
We're not sure when this season will end, but it certainly looks like we know who will be on the sideline when the next one gets underway.

Orphaned baby otters get swim lessons at Florida Aquarium
TAMPA - A pair of orphaned otters poked snouts tentatively into the water, backed away and generally dithered until a fish dangled before their noses was too much to resist and they plunged into a pool at The Florida Aquarium. Today was the final lesson in their swimming instruction, a task their mother normally performs in the wild. Aquarium workers had to step in as surrogate swimming instructors for Allie and Mace. The two otters are about 6 months old and were brought to the aquarium four months back. Allie was found in Plant City and Mace in Riverview, both wandering without their mothers, said Katie Jeffrey, a biologist at the aquarium. The otters already had been introduced to water in smaller pools at the aquarium but today was their first dip into a larger tank.Once they decided to take the plunge, they were soon cavorting in the glass-fronted tank. "Otters aren't born with the ability to swim. We have to step in and help them," Jeffrey said. Now that Allie and Mace are accomplished swimmers, they will be brought to the tank regularly, she said.

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
The agent for service of process for LLC failed to appear at hearing to turn over required info .judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest for failing to appear and contempt .
Question : The sheriff dept requires an accurate physical description of this agent or else they wont accept the warrant . I have never met the agent so I don't have a dscription. This agent has data that is crucial to my case.
Thanks for your help
1 Answer from Attorneys
Is this post judgment collection? Presumably the Agent was served was served personally with the order to appear at the hearing he failed to appear for; perhaps the process server can add some information. You may be required to do some reconnaissance to find out more information. Barring all that, I would describe to the Sheriff the best description you have with things such as where he or she works, what he does, and other information that may give the Sheriff information to know where to find the person and they have the correct person.

Patients receiving drug eluting stents (DES) -- stents coated with medication to prevent narrowing of the artery -- as part of an angioplasty had better outcomes one year later than patients with bare metal stents, according to a new study to be published in CMAJ http://www.
Mortality in the first 30 days for people with drug eluting stents was significantly lower than for those with bare metal stents. However, in this prospective cohort study of 6440 patients, there was an increased risk of repeat revascularization procedures or death in the DES group after 3 years.
Patients with drug eluting stents were more likely to be female, with higher rates of kidney disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension.
"Our study findings suggest that drug eluting stents, despite recent concerns surrounding drug eluting stent safety, the long-term survival (to 3 years) of patients receiving drug eluting stents remains globally favourable, and certainly not measurably worse than that of patients treated with bare metal stents," state Dr. William Ghali, coauthors from the University of Calgary and Dr. Andrew Philpott. "However, we did observe a concerning risk trend toward accelerating adverse events in the DES group late in the follow-up period -- a finding that underlines the need for ongoing surveillance of longer-term outcomes," write the authors.
Visit cmaj.ca later this week for a related commentary by Dr. Philippe Généreux and Dr. Roxana Mehran from the Columbia University Medical Center. They also caution that "despite the large amount of favourable long-term data on the use of drug eluting stents from randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses and observational studies, the long-term safety of drug eluting stents, especially regarding late and very late stent thrombosis, remains a major concern."

WASHINGTON -- President-elect Bush, completing his economic team and re-concluding his Cabinet, chose former Peace Corps Director Elaine Chao as labor secretary and Robert Zoellick, a diplomat in two previous Republican administrations, to be U.S. trade representative.
Two days after his first labor nominee withdrew under fire, Bush also mounted a spirited defense of two other nominees who have generated opposition: former Sen. John Ashcroft, R-Mo., as attorney general and former Colorado Attorney General Gale Norton as interior secretary.
''You know, what happens in this town is, the voices of the special interests like to tear people down,'' Bush said, showing irritation.
He urged ''senators to tone down their rhetoric.''
Chao, the wife of a Republican senator, was Bush's second selection for Labor and appears likely to be confirmed. He picked her after his first choice, Linda Chavez, withdrew following disclosures that she provided shelter and cash to an illegal immigrant who did household chores.
''I never expected our nominees to sail through without harsh questioning and good confirmation hearings,'' Bush said as he wrapped up a two-day visit to Washington and headed back to Texas.
He will return in the middle of next week to await his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Chao, 47, is the wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. She served as deputy transportation secretary in the administration of former President Bush and became director of the Peace Corps in 1991. She headed United Way of America from 1992 until 1996 and now is a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Chao, who was born in Taiwan, ''deeply believes in the American dream because she has lived it,'' Bush said. For her part, she said she would ''bring to this job the same passion for America that my father demonstrated many years ago when he came to America.''
Her selection was praised by business groups. Labor organizations appeared ready to give her the benefit of the doubt.
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said in a statement that Chao ''has worked with the labor movement and has experience in government, in the private sector and in public service.''
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., temporary chairman of the Senate Health, Education and Labor Committee, issued a short statement saying simply: ''I look forward to the (committee's) hearing and to learning more about Ms. Chao's views on how to preserve and advance the interests of working families.''

Parra delivers big hit as D-backs top Dodgers
Parra delivers big hit as D-backs top Dodgers
Now it seems the bigger dilemma is: How do they get him out of it?
Parra continued to make his case for more playing time when he drove home a pair of runs to help the D-backs beat the Dodgers, 5-3, on Saturday night in front of 36,903 at Chase Field.
The win was the second in a row for the D-backs, who had lost their previous six games and are trying to build some momentum heading into the coming All-Star break.
"These are big games for us," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "Really big games for us."
The D-backs, who moved within five games of the first-place Dodgers in the National League West, wrap up the four-game series as well as the season's first half Sunday afternoon.
"We beat another good pitcher tonight, a good team," left fielder Jason Kubel said. "We felt good about last night, and we continued that today, and hopefully we'll do that tomorrow."
The game certainly didn't start out well for the D-backs or Trevor Cahill as the right-hander allowed a one-out double to Luis Cruz in the first and a two-run homer to Jerry Hairston.
"I've been making my mistakes up a lot more and giving up some more home runs lately, so I just have to make sure if I miss, I miss down," Cahill said.
Chad Billingsley, meanwhile, handcuffed the D-backs through the first four innings, holding them to just two hits.
"Billingsley pitched pretty efficient and he was pretty quick early on," Cahill said.
In the fifth, Miguel Montero led off with a double and moved to third on Geoff Blum's single.
Parra then lined a double into the left-field corner to score two and tie the game. Parra would later come around and score on Stephen Drew's sacrifice fly as the D-backs jumped on top, 3-2.
After starting in left field last year and winning a Gold Glove, Parra found himself on the bench Opening Day after the D-backs signed Kubel to a free-agent deal over the winter.
While Parra got extended playing time due to an injury to center fielder Chris Young, he was back on the bench when Young returned.
However, with Young struggling to regain his pre-injury form at the plate and Parra continuing to provide a spark when he plays, Gibson might have a hard time taking him out of the lineup.
"He had a good game for us today, big hit obviously, two RBIs," Gibson said. "He wants to play, and when he doesn't play he's got great enthusiasm on the bench. He has a very consistent demeanor."
The D-backs added another run in the sixth when Paul Goldschmidt's sacrifice fly plated Justin Upton.
In both the fifth and sixth innings, the D-backs did a good job of advancing the runner from second to third and then getting him from third to home.
"I like to see stuff like that," Gibson said. "We work on that every day in batting practice."
A.J. Ellis brought the Dodgers to within 4-3 with a homer to lead off the seventh inning. But Kubel added an insurance run for the D-backs with a homer in the eighth, his 15th of the season.
Cahill (7-7) got the win for the D-backs, allowing three runs on six hits over seven innings.
"It was big for him to get through seven innings for us tonight," Gibson said. "Just bullpen-wise, I didn't want to use everybody. Seven innings makes tomorrow's game much better as well."
Cahill stuck mainly with his sinker and curve and did not go to the changeup as much as in recent starts.
"I felt pretty good," Cahill said. "I'm always trying to go at least seven innings. I was just fortunate to be able to do that."
Billingsley (4-9) was saddled with the loss a day after the D-backs rallied off Clayton Kershaw.
"They have a good club," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "I'm going to give them credit all the time, but you have to make pitches and execute."

Bayer HealthCare and Kythera announced that Bayer will sell back to Kythera commercial rights to ATX-101 outside of the United States and Canada. In 2010, Bayer licensed these rights from Kythera. ATX-101 is a proprietary formulation of a purified synthetic version of deoxycholic acid currently in late-stage development for the reduction of submental fat (double chin).
Under the new agreement, Bayer will receive $ 33 million in Kythera common stock, plus a $ 51 million promissory note, payable no later than 2024 from KYTHERA. Bayer is also eligible to receive certain long-term sales milestone payments on annual sales outside of the United States and Canada.
"While we believe ATX-101 will fulfill an unmet global need, Bayer's strategic focus has evolved since we licensed ATX-101 in 2010," said Erica Mann, global president of Bayer HealthCare's Consumer Care Division. "Our decision to take an equity position in Kythera is a testament to our belief in the potential for ATX-101, and will allow us to participate in Kythera's future success."

Adaptive Local Polynomial Whittle Estimation of Long-range Dependence
The local Whittle (or Gaussian semiparametric) estimator of long range dependence, proposed by Künsch (1987) and analyzed by Robinson (1995a), has a relatively slow rate of convergence and a finite sample bias that can be large. In this paper, we generalize the local Whittle estimator to circumvent these problems. Instead of approximating the short-run component of the spectrum, ϕ(λ) , by a constant in a shrinking neighborhood of frequency zero, we approximate its logarithm by a polynomial. This leads to a "local polynomial Whittle" (LPW) estimator. We specify a data-dependent adaptive procedure that adjusts the degree of the polynomial to the smoothness of ϕ(λ) at zero and selects the bandwidth. The resulting "adaptive LPW" estimator is shown to achieve the optimal rate of convergence, which depends on the smoothness of ϕ(λ) at zero, up to a logarithmic factor.

EUR/USD (a 4-hour chart)
There was enough volatility for Forex at the end of the last week. The EUR/USD ended the trading day at the opening level despite the weak Eurozone macroeconomic data. GDP release on Q1 came out worse than the median forecast; the final figure was 0.2 % qoq, indicating the region structural problems. Among the leading economies of the euro area only in Germany the data were better than the median rate prognosis while the Italian economy went all into the negative region by 0.1%.
The reduced euro/pound cross supported a moderate demand for GBP/USD during the Friday. The Eurozone negative macroeconomic statistics cheered "bears" to open short positions in the cross-course. The "bulls" in the GBP/USD went hunting amid the short-term oversold against the British pound against the U.S. dollar.
Japan's GDP report for the 1st quarter pleased investors with strong data - the final figure was 1.5 % qoq that is better on 0.5% than consensus prognosis. The low sales tax helped the Japan economy in the first three months of this year, triggering a high consumer activity. The positive report supported the moderate demand for the yen in Asian trading session. Do not forget about the stock exchanges trading dynamics. Investors take profits on world markets shares after prolonged growth which sparked a price drop wave. Amid these, the decline in dollar/yen and lost 0.3 % were observed on the day.

The police show Automan almost made it through all 13 episodes of its first season, but sadly it was yanked just one episode shy of that modest goal. Desi Arnaz Jr. starred as a police officer and computer programmer who creates the computer-generated sidekick for whom the program is named, and its advanced special effects (by 1983 standards) owed more than a small debt to the original version of Tron.
The show earned a small but devoted following among science fiction fans and computer technology aficionados, but unfortunately, that just wasn't a lot of people in 1983, and Automan was pulled from the air just before completing its first season.

Photography by Danny Roche
It can be tough to make it as a male model, particularly when you look like Shaun Ross. Born with albinism, Ross survived violent attacks from bullies while growing up in the Bronx. Then, intrigued by his unusual beauty, the agencies came knocking. Now, after six years climbing the ranks of high-fashion modeling, the 22-year-old has earned a seal of approval from the likes of Tyra Banks, Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, and Beyoncé. Ross's roles in two of the most talked-about videos of the past few months (Del Rey's epic "Tropico" and Bey's "Pretty Hurts") should still be fresh in your memory. Now it's time to memorize his name — you're going to be seeing it a lot in 2014.
A "B-Day" Gift
"I've known Ty Hunter, Beyoncé's stylist, for a few years. On my birthday he introduced me to her. She was working on her album 4 and wanted my opinion on a song. We sat together in a car and she played a draft of what would become 'Party.' I told her I liked it a lot, that it reminded me of roller-rink discos. She said, 'That's exactly what I'm trying to do... My birthday present to you is that, when I shoot that video, you can be in it.' That's how I ended up in my first Beyoncé video."
On Bullying
"I had to mature fast. My parents raised me completely differently from the majority of the kids I went to school with, so it allowed me to look at the situation a little differently. If you take the things people say, put them in slow motion, and really listen to them, half the time they're speaking from their own fears and insecurities. They don't know better."
Mother Tyra
"Tyra Banks is all about taking what you have and running with it, expressing your flaws. When I came out and nobody wanted to deal with me because they didn't know what to do with me, Tyra was like, 'Well, I'm going to introduce you to the world on my show.' She's been a big help."
On a Cutthroat Industry
"To this day I get hard things said to me. I've had a male model come up and say, 'I don't even know why you're big. I think I look way better than you.' It actually made me laugh a little. The thing about modeling is that it's not about who looks better, it's about what feels right for the client. I know I have my own special thing, and that keeps me going."
UPDATED: Three additional quotes from Shaun Ross's interview, exclusively for Out.com
"I don't talk about my sexuality, nor do I hide it: I've never hidden who I am. Why should I? In modeling, as in acting, you are basically role-playing, portraying something the client wants. I don't think your sexuality should have anything to do with it, because at the end of the day you're not exactly who you are in whatever you're doing."
Pretty Hurts
"To me, beauty is a preference. Being pretty does hurt because you have to go through the judgment of what other people think pretty is. There are a lot of people in this world who think people with albinism are extremely beautiful. For a person like me, who's been ostracized his entire life, to now be doing this with Beyoncé, who the whole world thinks is beautiful, was actually really cool."
Universal Advocate
"I can relate to a lot of people on different things: People who grew up in poor areas, people who don't have anyone believing in them, people who look different, with different sexualities, with different gene isolations. I'd like to be a universal advocate. One of my goals in 2014 is to make my campaign #inmyskiniwin a little bit more known around the world. I started it a few months ago on Instagram after being inspired by a little girl's picture, and it just started to grow."

thanxs for posting the pics so quickly. So yea after looking at Seth Aaron's design it is a steel gray.
Jay's dress is AWFUL! It looks like a night gown, how was he not in the bottom3
I hope Jonathan's looked better on TV and while moving. But it was better than the bottom 2. Mila's seemed like a yawn-fest.
I actually thought Jay's dress was amazing. I loved it. Especially the fact that he didn't stop designing at the waistline just for a cover-specific look.
I am sooooo over Mila.

Mommy Dearest,
We're finding out the gender of our baby in two weeks. If it's a girl, we're naming her after the woman who set us up on the blind date where we met. My husband and I disagree on the protocol of how we should tell her. I think we should ask our friend's permission first, but my husband thinks we should name our baby and let our friend figure out that she's the namesake after. What is the etiquette for naming someone after a friend or family member?
Appropriate Way to Bestow a Name?
To see the response from Mommy Dearest,
Appropriate Way to Bestow a Name,
Congratulations on your baby-to-be! I agree with your plan of asking or informing your friend before the baby is born. I think it's an honor that most people find incredibly flattering, but talking to her first eliminates any awkwardness that might occur if she were put on the spot after your bundle of joy arrives. Since you didn't mention the name, I'm assuming it's not a very common one. If it is something like Sarah or Katie, you probably don't need to consult her.

South emerging as strong market for organics, report
keep their eye on the southern region of the US, according to a new
market report, which suggests that consumers in the south are
catching up with the organic-friendly west.
Published this month by Scarborough Research, the report found that more than one quarter of the markets where organic products are most frequently consumed are in the Southern census region. The research organization last month measured 79 local markets for organic consumption, and narrowed down its survey to 23 'organic markets', or markets found to have an above-average percentage of organic consumers. Unsurprisingly, the region revealing highest organic consumption was the west of the country, where more than half (13) of the 'organic markets' identified were situated. Six cities were in the south, three in the Northeast and one in the Midwest. The top markets for organic foods and beverages were found to be San Francisco, where 35 percent of consumers reported shopping for organic products within the past month, Seattle (32 percent), Portland, Oregon (27 percent), Washington DC and Denver (26 percent each), and San Diego (24 percent). "The top five markets for organics consumers have youth, higher than average annual household incomes, and a fitness mentality in common," said Alisa Joseph, vice president, advertiser agency services, Scarborough Research. "Cities such as San Francisco and Seattle have long been known for active, healthful lifestyles, and therefore it makes sense that these are the top markets for organics users. However, the industry should keep an eye on the Southern region of the US, as many markets there have a significant presence of organics consumers as well." On average, organics consumers nationwide were found to spend 10 percent more on their weekly grocery bill, bringing this up to $217. Annual income was around $86,000, or 22 percent higher than the national average. Organics consumers tend to be young and have families - they are 19 percent more likely than the national average to be ages 18-34 and 13 percent more likely to have two or more children at home, said Scarborough, which is a joint venture between Arbitron and The Nielsen Company. Wal-Mart was cited as the top grocery store by people who buy organic products, followed by Whole Foods, which is often viewed as having a "special appeal". Other grocery stores that have a higher than average concentration of organics consumers are Trader Joe's, Safeway, Costco, and SuperTarget. US sales of organic food and beverages have grown from $1bn in 1990 to nearly $17bn in 2006. Organic food sales are projected to reach $23.8bn for 2010. The organic industry is viewed as the fastest growing sector of agriculture, currently representing nearly 3 percent of overall food and beverage sales. Since 1990, organic retail sales have historically demonstrated a growth rate between 20 to 24 percent each year, including a 22 percent increase in 2006.

17th century Italian walnut cabinet on stand: The Purefoy Cabinet
1690 to 1740 Italy
Offered by John Bly
£20,000 - 25,000 gbpRequest Information Call Dealer Favourite Item
The Purefoy Cabinet is a most fascinating Italian walnut writing desk of the late 17th century. It has a fall-front and an interior fitted with small drawers and an upper compartment. It is line engraved throughout with mythical beasts and other emblematic designs. The cabinet was acquired by Mrs Elizabeth Purefoy of Shalstone in Buckinghamshire in the 1740's and adapted for her by the addition of a cabriole leg stand and hinged lid to form a cabinet to contain the Purefoy Letters. These are acknowledged to be among the primary records of life in upper middle-class English Society during the first three quarters of the 18th century and are used constantly as reference by historians internationally. The original letters are in the Buckingham Museum in Aylesbury.
Provenance:- Acquired in 1944 by private treaty by the previous owner, a collector and connoisseur, from the last direct descendant of Mrs Purefoy and retained until its sale to John Bly.

Igor Finkler's American dream came true Friday morning when the doors to his new 7-Eleven franchise store opened for business.
True to continuing form, the Kazakhstan immigrant showed grace and humility.
"Every customer is my honorable guest for whom I was waiting all my life," he said to an assembled crowd of state and local politicians, corporate representatives, and store staff.
Finkler caught the attention of 7-Eleven, Inc. President and CEO Joe DePinto during the CBS reality show "Undercover Boss." Finkler drove a company delivery truck while DePinto, posing as a rank-and-file employee, learned how the company works on the front lines.
Finkler impressed DePinto with his work ethic and his unflappable positive disposition. As a result, DePinto and the corporation helped Finkler open his own 7-Eleven store, waiving the typical $140,000 franchise fee.
His store officially opened for business today at its Richardson location not far from the 7-Eleven store in which Finkler worked his first job after moving to the United States.
State Rep. Angela Chen Button, whose House district includes Richardson, praised Finkler not only for his rise up the company ladder but also for pursuing and attaining U.S. citizenship.
"Just like you, many years ago, I came to this country as a legal immigrant, just like you," she said. "We work so hard because we know not everyone is so lucky to be born in this great country, and we were lucky enough to get here as soon as possible. Isn't that true? We have to have the right attitude to work hard and give back to the community, and the sky is the limit. We know this land is the land of great opportunities."
Finkler deflected the praise and directed it toward his adopted county.
"This story is not about me," Finkler said. "This story is about America. This can happen only in America."
Bruce Felps owns and operatesEast Dallas Times, an online community news outlet serving the White Rock Lake area. He might just have to make a special trip to Richardson. Nah.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Brad Ausmus and Darin Erstad hit solo homers in the top of the 10th inning Sunday, delivering Houston a 6-4 win over the New York Mets.
With the score tied 4-4, Ausmus's only hit was his second homer this season leading off the inning.
Later with two outs, Erstad hit his third homer. He had two of Houston's eight hits.
Hunter Pence hit a two-run, fourth-inning homer for the Astros, winners twice in the four-game series.
The winning pitcher was LaTroy Hawkins (2-0).
Jose Valverde earned his 33rd save with a 1-2-3 10th.
New York's Carlos Beltran homered twice and knocked in three runs. He hit a two-run shot in the first and a solo homer in the fifth.
Fernando Tatis had one RBI for the Mets, who had just seven hits and saw their lead over Philadelphia atop the National League East dwindled to one game, pending the outcome of Sunday night's Phillies-Los Angeles Dodgers contest.
The losing pitcher was Pedro Feliciano (2-4).

In a move similar to the Senate, the House leadership reportedly wants to add the difficult-to-pass amendment to the high priority defense budget, according to Family Research Council.
The bill would expand federal hate crimes to include violence against individuals based on sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or disability. Current federal law covers crimes committed on the basis of race, religion, color or national origin. ...
This is a bit queer!
But then....God saysLev 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

How Did You Get Started?
Like most people, I started lifting early in my teens to improve my athletic performance in high school. My older brother had lifted weights in our school weight room for football and I started tagging along with him when I was 14.
By the time I was 16, I was training consistently 4-5 days a week. After a lot of encouragement from close friends, I started training for my first show when I was 18 and it snowballed from there. I competed in a smaller regional show and took the Teen Overall and placed 2nd in the Men's Open Light Heavyweight. Now that I'm 22, I'm still competing and hungry to learn and make improvements.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
Generally when I'm in my Off-Season, I focus on heavy compound movements to pack on mass. A lot of deadlifts, bench presses, push presses, and squats. I keep my rep range between 4-12 reps per set and usually hit 4-6 exercises for each body part. I run a 5-day split focusing on all of the major muscle groups: Chest, back, shoulders, arms, and legs. Abs and calves are trained twice a week. I also make sure that I vary the exercises I do along with the rep range in order to keep my body from adapting. It's kind of a relaxed type of periodization; when I feel stagnant, I change the movements and reps I perform. As long as my body is fatigued and my muscles are pumped at the end of a training session, I am satisfied.
Pre-Contest I focus more on isolation movements and on finely sculpting my body as opposed to just making it bigger. I still run a 5-day split concentrating on all of the major muscle groups, training abs and calves twice a week. I begin to do 5-7 exercises per body part with a rep range between 8-15. I incorporate more breakdown sets along with limiting my rest periods between each set and exercise. To me, listening to your body during this time is pretty pivotal. During my contest prep, I choose my exercises and sets based on how I feel that day. Again, I am looking to maximize my pump and make sure that I am fatigued when I leave the gym.
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
Natural Bodybuilding Pro Curt Fischer does an amazing job with my nutrition and knows how to get me in good shape and condition. My current Off-Season nutrition looks like this:
- 2 8oz. Yogurts
- 1 tbspn. Ground Flax
- 8oz. Apple
- ½ Scoop of Whey
- 7oz. Chicken
- 1 Can of Vegetables
- 1.5 Cup Brown Rice
- 2 8oz. Yogurts
- 1 tbspn. Ground Flax
- 8oz. Apple
- 7oz. Chicken
- 1 Can of Vegetables
- 1.5 Cup Brown Rice
- 8oz. of 93% Lean Ground Beef
- 1 Can of Vegetables
- 8 Egg Whites and 1 Whole Egg
- 1 Scoop of Casien
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
I can't say enough about Gaspari's SuperPump 250. It tastes great and gives me the pumps that I need and want during and after my workouts. Universal's Animal Pak has been with me since I started and I think it's the most complete multivitamin out on the market right now. ZMA, creatine, whey protein, and glutamine are all supplements I would recommend to anyone who wants to get serious about bodybuilding.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
The ultimate payoff: Being on stage and looking your best after a productive Off-Season and 22 weeks of intense contest preparation. When I look at photos from my shows, I don't see a "jacked up dude" or a "pleasing physique." I see the culmination of all of my hard work. There is no better feeling than working hard, coming into a show in shape, and then winning or placing high. Its cliché, but the ends truly justify the means when it comes to the lifestyle you chose to live when competing as a bodybuilder.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
Right now I am focusing on bringing up my weak points and having a successful Off-Season by building quality muscle. I plan to compete in the Spring of 2009 and want to hit stage in the same condition but bigger this time. As I mature, I hope to eventually make an impact on the NPC National scene. For now though, like I said, I need to fix the imperfections in my physique and look towards winning my weight class the next time I compete.
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
Be consistent!! You can't expect to build a competitive physique by having an erratic training and nutritional program. From what I've seen, there's nothing worse than playing damage control 2 weeks out from a show because you cheated on your diet or didn't train hard. If you're serious, you need to commit to a lifestyle that will enable you to compete seriously and confidently against others.
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
I've always been a big fan of Mark Dugdale. He's put together well and has great size for his frame along with good aesthetics. Bob Cicherillo is the epitome of hard work and persistence and I probably admire those qualities about him more than his freakish size and muscularity. Evan Centopani has always impressed me ever since I saw him win Junior Nationals in Chicago a few years back.

Arlington, Va. – The Crystal City METRO will soon have an even more convenient and colorful entryway. The Crystal City Business Improvement District (BID), in partnership with Vornado /Charles E. Smith, Arlington County, WMATA, and ADI Construction, will break ground on September 4th at 10:00 a.m. on an enhancement that will create an especially comfortable commute for the more than 26,000 riders who use the Crystal City METRO station each day.
The upgrade will create an urban plaza complete with an expanded pedestrian zone, pleasant seating areas, and fresh landscaping. Construction is estimated to take six to eight weeks giving residents, employees, and visitors to Crystal City a new METRO entrance by mid-October.
"The METRO enhancement represents the overall transformation in Crystal City," said Angela Fox, president of the Crystal City BID. "Crystal City now has nationally-renowned theater, upscale restaurants and fun events, like wine festivals, cycling races and fashion shows. The METRO upgrade is another way to showcase the vibrancy and accessibility of Crystal City."
The METRO upgrade is the latest in a series of enhancements to Crystal City gateways – entrances that thousands of people use daily to access Crystal City. The southern gateway at the intersection of Route 1 and Crystal Drive recently got a new look with fresh landscaping and LED lighting features.
