Lufthansa expanded its long-haul services from Montreal to include its Frankfurt hub. The new service will connect travellers from Quebec's most-populated city directly to Frankfurt, the largest financial centre in continental Europe, during the busy summer travel season, running from May 16 - October 12. The non-stop flights will operate five times a week, from Tuesdays to Fridays, as well as on Sundays, using an Airbus A340-300 and A330-300 aircraft in a Business and Economy Class configuration.
"Lufthansa is very pleased to offer Quebec travellers access to a second destination in Europe, offering them increased access to more than 450 destinations in 116 countries," Hans DeHaan, Director, Lufthansa Group Canada said. "This reflects Lufthansa's commitment to the Canadian market and the high level of demand we are seeing here." Lufthansa already operates daily non-stop flights between Munich and Montreal. As well, partner airline, SWISS, offers six services a week to its hub in Zurich.
Whether Montreal travellers are looking for fast, easy connections or stopping over for business or leisure, Frankfurt has much to offer. It is the most international city in Germany and the largest financial centre on the continent. It is the city of coronations of emperors and offers many local attractions for tourists boasting over 13 different museums devoted to the arts. The Lufthansa Global Hub in Frankfurt offers a broad range of connectivity options for travel to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and Russia.
In addition to this new service starting on May 16th, 2014, Lufthansa will also be launching a new route from Toronto to Munich, set to depart on June 5.
Flight LH 479 will depart Montreal at 5:15 p.m. and arrive in Germany the next morning at 6:30 a.m. The return flight LH 478 is scheduled to depart from Frankfurt in the early afternoon (1.35 p.m.) and reach Montreal at 3:40 p.m. local time. This will enable passengers travelling through Montreal to connect to the network of Lufthansa's Star Alliance partner, Air Canada.

Wendy Williams' Hypocritical Breastfeeding Remarks Bite Her in the Butt
Wendy Williams' Hypocritical Breastfeeding Remarks Bite Her in the Butt (VIDEO)
Wendy Williams doesn't make a habit of treading lightly on the news of the day, but the talk show host is currently facing serious backlash for one strong, controversial conviction. While discussing Karlesha Thurman, the college grad who posted a picture of herself breastfeeding her daughter at her graduation ceremony, Wendy expressed her staunch opposition to breastfeeding in public, stating, "I am all for breastfeeding, but do not like breastfeeding in public. I don't want to see it at my kitchen table, I don't want to see it at Target, I don't want to see it at Starbucks, in the airplane -- and I especially don't want to see it at graduation."
Oh boy ... No wonder people are flipping out!
Not only because Wendy's doing absolutely nothing to help fellow women fight rampant breastfeeding discrimination with her remarks, but because she looks like a TOTAL hypocrite. Back in November 2012, Wendy debuted her nude ad campaign for PETA, saying in a statement:
We should all try to be comfortable in our own skin and let the animals keep theirs.
Rrrrright. Comfortable in our own skin, but not so comfortable that we can't feed our little ones while we're trying to go about our lives -- in public? And at the same time, the masses should be perfectly okay with "seeing" Wendy's nude bod on a huge billboard in Times Square! Ridiculous.
It's just plain disheartening. As a strong, outspoken woman with a national platform to express her opinions, Wendy could easily be lending a hand to moms in this country having to fight with their employers to get a safe, clean space to pump, or others who are being harassed and thrown out of courts for trying to nurse their babies while waiting for hours for their case to be heard. If she really was "all for breastfeeding" as she claims, she would be doing what she could to make it easier for moms to do it whenever, wherever, however. Instead, her stubborn lash-out only serves to reinforce a close-minded view. What a shame.
Here's the segment if you missed it ...
How do you honestly feel about breastfeeding in public? Does Wendy deserve the backlash she's getting?
She has her issues, no telling what they are...
I breastfed everywhere in public and no one ever knew the difference. It just looked like I was carrying a sleeping baby. No capes or covers to draw attention, just the edge of my shirt. People like this Wendy idiot are just looking for controversy where there isn't any. It makes them feel like they have something important to say.
Was she one of those "The View" women? I was never able to stomach an entire episode of that show. I don't really know how she is but it is wildly hypocritical to claim women should be comfortable in their own skin, EXCEPT breastfeeding women who should be shamed into a bathroom stall.
Haha, no she's not on The View. She has her own show.
Quoting mostlymaydays: Breastfed or bottle fed I think babies should be fed when they're hungry. I do not understand why so many people get ruffled at a breastfeeding baby; I don't STARE at people under any circumstances. Was she one of those "The View" women? I was never able to stomach an entire episode of that show. I don't really know how she is but it is wildly hypocritical to claim women should be comfortable in their own skin, EXCEPT breastfeeding women who should be shamed into a bathroom stall.
Considering she's done ads naked, but has bad talked breastfeeding moms multiple times, it's not surprising there is backlash. What really gets me is her and the other "women" were so negative, but when the MAN in the group is respectful of the mom, the others say the only reason he's for it is to see breasts? Uh, no, "ladies" not everyone is overly sexual as you. Get your mind out of the gutter and leave moms alone. So hypocritical it's freaking annoying!
I have nursed all 4 of mine in public and only twice have I received odd looks. Most of the time people glance and quickly turn away and other moms just smile and nod. Those remarks are just cause for the back lash she is facing. Such a hypocrite.

BREWER, Maine
(NEWSCENTER) -- Patrice Tait was among the people trying to sign up for health insurance through the health insurance marketplace before the March 31 deadline.
"This is like waiting to file your taxes on the last day," She joked.
Pat Tait is able to joke about a process that has been tough at times. She's tried to sign up before.
"It wouldn't let me enter what I needed to enter and I called here and she tried to talk me through it...I tried it again..by getting off the sign and back on it again, and finally I said well can I just come see you," Pat explained.
She went to Penobscot Community Health Care where she was helped through the process by Americorps volunteer Eian Pearl. Unfortunately they couldn't get through on the phone line or the website. But she was hopeful that she at least got the process started.
Pat is s a self employed hair dresser, and bartender. She's been without health insurance for fourteen years when her husband died of cancer.
"When he passed away it was either pay my car payment or pay my helath insurance and i needed a car so," she explained.
And now she's hoping that for the first time she might be able to afford health care.
"i'm hoping that after today i wont have to worry as much about getting sick or not going to the doctor because i don't feel i can afford it."

Radeon 9250 driver for win 7.64
I have read numerous posts on how to get the ATI Radeon 9250 card to work with win7 but I cannot get any solution to work with win 7.64.
I do realize that this card is not compatible or recommended for win 7. I just need to get it working short term until I can buy a replacement, this is the only PCI card I had to get this new system working.
Can anyone provide me with an inf that will work for this configuration?

About the best I can suggest is to see what if anything you can get for it through Windows Update. Probably won't get anything, but won't hurt if you haven't tried yet. Problem is that AMD never made a 64 bit driver for that series of cards and dropped support for them back in late 2006. There is the last 32 bit XP driver for it that does work in Windows 7, but as you already know you have to be running 32 bit Windows to use it.
If all else fails you may just have to make the best of it until you do get a new card.

Its an old card.. and its not supported by 64bit operating system. best option is to replace the card you are using.

Thank you for your replies. I am however, still confused... according to the compatibility chart on Microsofts' site this card should be compatible with a download from diamond. I have tried it with no success.
i'm not looking for all the bells and whistles, just can't install some software due to the Standard VGA driver.
|My System Specs
|11 Apr 2012
I think someone is smoking something funny at the Compatibility site, and drinking something really strange at Diamond's download page. There can not be a 64 bit driver available for it as ATI/AMD never released one, so no idea how it made it onto the Microsoft Compatibility page. Also the 64 bit driver that Diamond claims to have available when you download it is actually for Windows 98/ME.
There is not now and never will be a Windows 7 64 bit driver for that card (or Vista for that matter). The best you could hope for is a XP 64 bit driver, but it only supports cards from the 9500 and up; everything else for it will be the last 32 bit XP driver.

The summer window will be opening before you know it, and rumours around the world are picking up steam. As always, Transfer Talk has its finger on the pulse when it comes to the latest gossip. See the latest deals here.
TOP STORY: Higuain could replace a China-bound Costa
Antonio Conte is confident of securing a £45m deal for Gonzalo Higuain, with Diego Costa the latest to be tempted by a lucrative deal to move to the Chinese Premier League, according to the Mirror.
The Napoli striker has bagged 32 goals in 33 Serie A games this season and has been made Conte's No. 1 target this summer, according to the outlet.
Chelsea insist Costa is not for sale, though a reported £250,000-per-week deal from as many as three Chinese clubs, or a return to former club Atletico Madrid, could tempt the Spain international to move.
Arsenal target Inter's Mauro Icardi
More from the Mirror, as Arsene Wenger wants Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi to bolster his attack this summer and hopes to tempt the Nerazzurri with a £25m offer.
The 23-year-old has scored 37 Serie A goals in the last two seasons and has also been tracked by Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Juventus striker Alvaro Morata could be an alternative to the Argentine, as Wenger looks to fix the mistakes that cost his side dearly this season. However, Juve have recently said that Morata won't be going anywhere this summer unless Real Madrid buy him back, a move the Old Lady are powerless to stop.
Hart set for Man City exit?
Liverpool are set to swoop for Manchester City stopper Joe Hart, with Pep Guardiola reportedly keen to replace the England goalkeeper, according to the Express.
Guardiola wants Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to replace Hart, which could allow Jurgen Klopp to take advantage and lure Hart to Anfield.
Doubts over Simon Mignolet have continued this season, despite recently signing a new deal, and Klopp will hope the opportunity to bring in Hart does indeed present itself this summer.
Liverpool bid for Udinese's Zielinski
More Liverpool Transfer Talk from the Star, as Klopp looks set to make his first move of the summer transfer window after registering a £12m bid for Udinese's Piotr Zielinski.
The Polish midfielder has been in stunning form on loan at Empoli this season and has already confirmed talks have begun.
Jurgen Klopp hopes to close a deal for the 21-year-old as he begins to reshape the Reds this summer.
– Meanwhile, Liverpool have received a blow in their bid to bring in PSG U19 defender Mamadou Doucoure, with Borussia Monchengladbach now leading the race for the 17-year-old's signature, according to the Express.
Reds scout Kevin Hunt was sent to Paris last week to keep tabs on Doucoure, but Gladbach could persuade Doucoure with greater guarantees of playing time.
– Another PSG youngster in Jonathan Ikone could be set for a move, with Manchester City and Liverpool keen on the talented midfielder, according to France Football.
The 18-year-old is also wanted by Juventus after impressing in PSG's run to the final of the UEFA Youth League last month against Chelsea.
– Wenger is set to strengthen his back four this summer with Atletico Madrid's Lucas Hernandez and Leicester's Ben Chilwell on the Gunners' wanted list, according to the Mirror.
Arsenal might also turn to Fulham youngster Ryan Sessegnon in a bid to revamp the defence, with Wenger keen to recruit some of the brightest talent in Europe.
– Juventus have quoted Chelsea and West Ham £20m for Italy striker Simone Zaza with the 24-year-old set for a move this summer. The Express cites Gazzetta dello Sport, who are saying the Bianconeri have not been able to use Zaza as much as the Sassuolo striker might have liked, with Mario Mandzukic, Morata and Paulo Dybala all ahead of him in the pecking order. That could mean Zaza departs Turin in search of a starring role elsewhere.

Competitive bicycle riding and running are difficult enough, so what would happen if you combined the two?
You would end up with a grueling form of bike racing designed to test the rider's ability to endure and overcome pain. In a word, you would get cyclocross.
Cyclocross races are typically done on road bikes outfitted with knobby tires and the courses are short circuits between one-half and one mile long, usually laid out on a grassy expanse that includes short, steep hills and strategically placed barriers.
Cyclists jump from the bike in advance of the barrier and, bike in hand, leap over the obstacle and remount the bicycle without slowing down. Cyclists race around the cyclocross track like this for about 45 minutes.
Since 2005, Memphis, Tennessee, cyclists Joel Glasgow and Robert Taylor have been hosting informal cyclocross races in Midtown's Toby Park. Riders trickle in around dusk, drop $5 and race for 40 minutes around an impromptu course that circles baseball diamonds, traverses gravel roads and challenges riders to trudge through strength-sapping grassy fields.
Taylor has been a part of the cyclocross community in Memphis for more 20 years, since Joe Royer, co-owner of Outdoors Inc., started cyclocross racing in Memphis in 1986 with a race at Shelby Farms. Twenty-one years later, Royer's race—the Outdoors Inc. Mid-South Cyclocross Championship Race—is world-renowned.
The City of Memphis Chamber of Commerce has featured the race as a major attraction in its Relocation Guide and professional cyclocross national champion Paul Curley has called it "a race worth traveling to."
Cyclocross originated as a form of offseason training for road-bike racers looking to stay fit and stay on the bike during the winter—the "dead season" of cycling.
It is an ideal offseason activity for cyclists as the races are typically short, and jumping off the bike to leap over a barrier "brings your feet back" from the numbing chill of a cold winter wind. Plus, the occasional jog keeps the heart rate high and the insides warm.
Cyclocross gained more converts in the early 1990s as mountain bike riders joined the ranks of offseason road racers in this chilly test of endurance.
"There used to be eight people lined up at the cyclocross starting line," Taylor recollects. Now, cyclists from all over the country travel to Memphis to join a cadre of Bluff City cyclocrossers at Harbor Town's Greenbelt Park, each seeking victory in the Outdoors Inc. Cyclocross Championship Race.
"Cross is not an every-man sport," Royer cautioned. "It's a training exercise." Taylor agreed, saying its "the hardest thing to do on the bike. It's very demanding."
As with any form of athletic competition, cyclocross racing requires intense physical preparation and unfaltering dedication, if one intends to compete seriously. But beginners to cyclocross have the opportunity to push their physical limitations, and both runners and cyclists might find it just the sport they've been looking for.
Robert Taylor recalls that the neatest thing he's seen at a cyclocross race was "a 10-year-old at the race trying to lift his 30- or 40-pound bike over the barricades."

Renault says recovery 90 per cent complete
12 May 2014 – Renault reckons it is just 10 per cent away from a full recovery after its challenging start to the season.
The French manufacturer has made steady gains since its performance and reliability issues in pre-season testing, with Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel finishing as best of the rest in Spain.
Although the brand still trails, Renault Head of Track Operations Rémi Taffin is pleased with its position.
"Overall we've made good progress with energy and fuel management here, and the driveability of the Power Unit has been improved," commented Taffin, reflecting on the Spanish Grand Prix weekend.
"I'd say we are about 90 per cent of the way on our recovery now, with final refinements to come. We'll test these [at the post-race gathering] and are confident we'll introduce another step forward for Monaco."
Taffin added that claiming the final podium spot is the best Renault can hope for at the moment.
"A podium for Daniel and a strong fourth for Sebastian are as much as we could have hoped for here. The Mercedes have a very good package and are out in front, but there is very little between the next four teams.
"This shows that the engine race is a lot closer than at previous races and there is everything to play for."

Making a list and checking it (at least) twice
By Jim Donnan
Recruiting is the lifeblood of your program and the evaluation part of it is critical. Not only is it important to evaluate potential recruits, but you also have to access your own squad's strengths and weaknesses to find your needs for next year and the years to come.
A team has 85 scholarships and can only sign a maximum of 25 recruits per year. If you do a good job keeping your kids in school and don't have injuries, you usually have between 15-17 scholarships per year. That doesn't leave much margin for error. You have to do a good job evaluating high school talent.
The evaluation process starts with the assignment of specific areas to the coaches on your staff. Every coach on the staff has an in-state and out-of-state recruiting area called primary and secondary areas. Coaches will also mail information to recruits in the secondary areas to keep up with any "paper tigers" around the country. For example, a coach might have South Georgia and North Florida as his main area, but also recruit Los Angeles and Dallas as mailing areas. Recruiting services and the Internet have made this much easier.
Getting started
After spring practices, the coaches head out for spring recruiting. You can't have any contact, besides one phone call, with a recruit, but you can go by the school, hopefully watch them practice and talk to the high school coaches. Another important task on these trips is a visit to the guidance counselor to check out a kid's grades and attitude.
After spring evaluation, the coaches get together and compare the recruits. The evaluation is much better after you've had a chance to see the kids in person. As a head coach or recruiting coordinator, you want to make sure you are not turning down a guy in one area that's better than a player one of your other coaches is recruiting. You have to establish a pecking order. The next step is to get them to camp where you can test them and see how they compete against other players.
Hitting the road
On the week of a home game, a coach or graduate assistant sets up a Friday schedule so the coach can visit as many high schools as possible. The coach will usually head out on a Thursday night. Coaches will not only be watching the players they are recruiting, but they also look ahead and will go see a junior. Even though you can't say hello to a junior, the player will know you are there. Your attendance lets them know you are interested. It's important to be visible. A coach will try to visit five or six schools during the day and meet with the coaches. It's a public relations gesture as much as anything.
A coach will attend one or two high school games on Friday night. Sometimes the game will be in that coach's recruiting area, but other times it will be a crosscheck. Most of the time the crosscheck will be done by the position coach -- a running back coach would evaluate a running back. It's important to get a different set of eyes and opinion on the kid.
As a head coach, even though you want to be with your team, sometimes I'd go to a high school game in the area while the team watched a movie.
A lot of the out-of-state recruiting occurs when your team is on the road or has an open date. Assistant coaches will swarm the area before and after a road game -- sometimes staying over until Monday to get another day of evaluation. I always used the open date to personally go and see one of our top recruits.
With so many talented high school players across the nation, narrowing the field to the few players you can offer a scholarship to is difficult. It's important to get as thorough an evaluation as possible. Looking at film, visiting high schools, observing camps, attending games and making sure multiple coaches have seen a prospect are essential parts of the process. Having the head coach in attendance for some games doesn't hurt either.
ESPN.com college football analyst Jim Donnan, the former head coach at Marshall and Georgia, will be taking part in chats and making observations on Saturdays as part of College GameDay Online.

A host of visionary producers in Seattle have produced an extraordinary TV documentary on the state of contemporary jazz art and artists. Dubbed Icons Among Us: Jazz In the Present Tense, the four-part program features a virtual who's who of young jazz performers talking about their creative struggles and playing their music as they forge new paths of expression. The program is so comprehensive and carefully wrought that it deserves a review that covers all of the charactersmusicians, producers and storytellers. What follows is a summary and commentary on the first episode of the documentary. For a window into the entire series, read John Kelman's four-part review.
Creators Michael Revoira, Lars Larson and Pete Vogt working out of Seattle based Paradigm Studios introduce this epic chronicle spotlighting the "young lions" on the scene. Trumpeter Nicholas Payton is seen talking about the necessity of breaking new ground for young artists. Terence Blanchard follows remarking that what is happening now is the "quietest revolution in jazz I've ever seen in my life." Over the commentary is heard the music of the "lions" neatly interspersed with flashes of their performances. Trumpeter Dave Douglas (all of the initial of the commentators are trumpeters) alludes to the difficulty in labeling the music. Guitarist Bill Frisell states that "words are always smaller than what you're trying to describe [musically]." Veteran Herbie Hancock, himself an innovator 40 years ago, sympathizes with the youngsters who are "bringing new blood to jazznew expression." Trumpeter Russell Gunn defiantly tells us that "jazz is gonna change" as the camera reveals trumpeter Efrem Townes playing in front of the daKAH hip hop orchestra.
The litany of lions continues as we hear saxophonist Justin Robinson wailing new sounds in the Roy Hargrove quintet, guitarist Reed Mathis stretching out with The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and innovative vocal harmony emanating from Nicholas Payton's quintet. As Wynton Marsalis reveals his impatience with insistence on musical categories and definitions we see and hear bassist Eric Revis, trombonist Ku-Umba Frank Lacy and keyboardist John Medeski playing and joining the discussion. Saxophonist Donald Harrison, keyboardist Robert Walter and bassist Reid Anderson remind us that all the musicians need to respect past traditions of jazz ("you have to deal with the history") but pianist Robert Glasper desperately wants to move forward because "I can be badder than Coltrane." Veteran Seattle critic Paul de Barros says that one problem is "we don't understand the relationship between new jazz and society."
It is important to note that all this discussion is never tedious because there are constant cuts to concerts, record sessions and rehearsals cleverly and expertly intermingled.
Especially appealing are shots of pianist Bugge Wesseltoft entertaining a concert crowd by combining his pianism with sonic manipulation, and some sublime sounds from The Bad Plus trio featuring drummer Dave King, pianist Ethan Iverson and the aforementioned Reid Anderson. Pianist Aaron Parks and guitarist Lionel Loueke create dramatic new textures as members of Terence Blanchard's group. They comment on Blanchard's determination to have his sidemen be open and free in their expression.
Saxophonist Greg Osby is particularly articulate commenting on the lack of recognition and credit being given to the contemporary players and tells of his immediate attraction to the art of Jason Moran who, in turn, apostrophizes Osby's leadership. Dave Douglas returns with a quick comment stating that Osby is the "best example of jazz mentorship out there."
This opening segment ends fittingly with scenes of a concert starring Moran playing the piano against the soundtrack of a narrator uttering compelling social commentary.

Despite being British-born, a country where kissing and hugging is generally frowned on, despite that they celebrate National Kissing Day on July 6, I'm a born social kisser and inveterate hugger.
I'm always careful, though, to watch a person's body language and if they recoil in some way, I quickly back off and shake hands.
"That's the best way to deal with it," says Czink, "but some people just don't realize they've made a mistake until it's too late."
What to do then? I ask.
Apologize, she says.
It's true that most men, especially businessmen, prefer you to shake their hand even if they've met you a number of times.
Hugs are usually saved for friends, people you have an ongoing relationship with in some way and as a comfort or celebratory gesture to either sex.
Women are far more flexible than men about social kissing each other.
Often they hardly touch any skin at all.
They either do the well-known fashion world "air kiss" where they purse their lips and go side to side not even touching each other's cheeks, or the "butterfly kiss" where the contact is minimal.
♥TIP: When moving in for that social kiss, it's essential to keep a careful eye on the other person's movements so that you don't end up crashing into each other's noses.
Some countries start the social kiss on the right cheek but in others it's important to make the first kiss on the left of the double, treble or quadruple kiss (see sidebar on countries' social kiss habits).
♥TIP: When giving the social kiss -- make sure you know where your hands are.
♥TIP: Don't grab the other person in any way as to be overpowering and threatening to them. If you must touch, place a gentle hand on the opposite shoulder to the kiss or just below the shoulder or lightly grip the person's arm at the elbow.
♥TIP: Keep your distance. No-one wants body contact during a social kiss so lean your head over and out when delivering it.
♥TIP: Do it quickly. A social kiss isn't an excuse to make a lingering move on someone you're attracted to.
Why are people kissing each other more?
"We're loosening up in our connecting with each other," says Czink, "and as we become more multicultural, we're copying other cultures' behaviour."

wikiHow to Start a Roleplay Club on Stardoll
Love role play? Want to create your own role play club? Here's how to get started!
1Go to the "Clubs & Friends" tabs on Stardoll and click "Create a Club"
2Now you must create your club!
- First you must enter your club name. Make sure your satisfied with your name, as it can not be changed. If your role play club is a school, you may want a name such as Redwood Prep, Clarherst Academy, or Shady Hills High. If it's a town, perhaps something like Riverville or Clifftown.
- Next, you must enter a brief description for your club. It could be something simple such as "Hollywood High: Where only the best succeed..." Or slightly more descriptive. Remember: you have limited space. (Note: Your club description can be changed as often as you like.)
- Finally, you must choose the club category, language, and membership type (private or open). Role play clubs typically fall under Tears and Joy or Miscellaneous. The club language should be the language that you speak (It's assumed that's English if you're reading this). As for membership type, this is completely up to you.
- Click the "Create Club" button. Congratulations, you now have your own Stardoll club!
3Create a club presentation.
- To do this, open a Microsoft Word document on your computer and play around until the font, colors, and text are the way you want. Your text should include the name of the club, a little bit about the club ("Welcome to Ford Academy..."), a list of cliques (if your club has cliques), and anything else you feel like adding that will draw people to your club.
4Create a poll.
- Your club's poll can be found at the bottom of the club home page. A good poll question to start out with is "Which event should we hold first?". Then you can list options such as A Dance, A School Play, Cheerleading Tryouts, etc.
5Create an "Enrollment" discussion.
- This is where members of your club can enroll their characters in your role play and describe their characters. In the description for this topic, put the following:
- Name: Age: Hometown: Personality: Appearance: Bio:
- These are the basics, but you can add other things such as Likes/Dislikes, Hobbies, Dreams, etc.
6Create other discussions.
- It's important that you have other discussions ready for role playing, even before your club has any members. Otherwise, people who join your club will get bored and leave the club.
- A good discussion to start out with is a welcoming dance. This gives role play characters a chance to get acquainted.
- Your discussions should vary in topic. Some ideas are a park, dorms (if your role play setting is a school), library, movie theater, Starbucks, etc.
7Advertise your club!
- Now that your club is ready to go, you need members! Broadcast your club, post in people's guestbooks, ask your friends to join...just get your club name out there!
- Be patient. Usually the number of members a club already has influences how quickly people join the club, so the number of people joining might start out slow, but will rise.
8Take care of your club.
- Remind members to stay active and post often.
- Create special events such as blizzards or parties to keep things interesting.
- Keep recruiting members. The more the merrier!
9Join other role play clubs.
- This way you can see what's trending in role playing, get ideas for role play plots, and meet other role players who may want to join your club!

When is the best time to fly to Lodz?
Lodz's summer months, June to August, offer visitors the most inviting climate, with temperatures on average between 12°C and 24°C. Although the city also experiences an increase in rainfall, particularly in July, this is a popular time to visit so cheap flights to Lodz will be harder to come by. Summer is also a great time to explore the many gardens and parks in the city, in between the infrequent showers, which don't tend to last too long.
Some travellers prefer to brave the cold winter weather and book a flight to Lodz around Christmas, when the city comes alive with all the joyous sparkle of the holiday season. Piotrkowska Street is particularly magical at this time of year, taken over for the festive period by a food, arts and crafts market. Pack warm clothing on your flight to Lodz as December experiences low temperatures of around -2°C and it can drop to around -4°C in January, the coldest month.
Lodz overview
Nobel laureate Władysław Reymont once described Lodz (or Łódź in its Polish spelling) as the Promised Land, celebrating the industrial heartbeat of Poland's third largest city and luxuriating in its sumptuous architecture. Travellers book flights to Lodz for its famous galleries, monuments and historic landscape, as well as that it is one of the country's greenest cities. 34 different areas of outdoor expanse are found across Łódź, with the largest botanical garden in Poland as well as one of Europe's most acclaimed parks, Źródliska Park both found in the city. If chess is more your cup of tea, go down to Park Śledzia and play some of the locals, many of whom are highly adept at the game.
In the city centre is Piotrkowska Street, one of the longest commercial streets in Europe. It runs from Plac Wolności to the Plac Niepodległości, and is populated by a healthy number of pubs, bars, restaurants. Other highlights include Karol Scheibler's Palace and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, one of the few examples of Orthodox architecture found in Poland.
But there is also a darkness to Lodz. In September 1939, the city fell to Nazi Germany and was promptly renamed Litzmannstadt. The city's significant Jewish community was either slaughtered or enslaved, while those who were not the targets of ethnic cleansing were subjected to the appalling terror of Nazi social control. Today, Lodz still remembers the horrors of the Second World War, the legacy passionately felt in The Jewish cemetery at the Bracka Street and the area that was once the Ghetto.
Thankfully, not all of the city's history is grave, and the fascinating collection at Muzeum Historii Miasta Łodzi demonstrates a culture of creativity and enterprise that has fast become one of Lodz's main attractions. Enjoy the artistic inspiration of some of Poland's finest painters and sculptors in Muzeum Sztuki, being sure to take a look at the beautiful building of the Music Academy located close by.
Oh, and don't forget… it's pronounced Woodge, any other attempt at the name will be met with blank stares.

Firefighters were called to Parker Hannifin, 1440 N. 24th St., around 11:15 a.m. Employees were already being evacuated from the building when firefighters got there.
A fire in a filtration system was put out quickly. Because the ductwork ventilated to the outside, there was no smoke that needed to be removed from the building.
Although the fire is still being investigated, firefighters believe it started in a robotic metal cutting machine. The machine's safety mechanisms worked as designed, but hot embers found got into the ductwork, lighting filters on fire.
Employees were able to go back to work in less than an hour.

How Good Are Isiah's Draft Picks?

Re: How Good Are Isiah's Draft Picks?
Disagree with you here. Isiah has done a GREAT job in drafting. In every comparison you mention above, Isiah made the right choice. The only one that remains a gamble is not gambling on Bynum. Frye is not great, for sure, but seems to have been the best pick of a weak draft at that point. He's a head's up player, is 6'11" and hopefully will develop defensively over the next two years.
Forget about statistics; they're meaningless in basketball. Totally dependant on how many minutes the player plays and what team/situation they're on.
David Lee was a phenomenal pick.
Nate Robinson was a terrific pick.
Renaldo Balkman was a terrific pick for a late first round pick (would have been second round in the old days).
Trevor Ariza also a great pick, despite Larry Brown forcing Isiah to trade him.
Some of the idiots in the NY media and the fans who believe everything they read dogged Isiah for picking Balkman, and they all didn't have a clue what they were talking about. It's hard to find a player who sticks in the NBA when you're talking about pick numbers 20-30 in the draft. Balkman was exactly what Isiah wanted, and he's turned out well.
Mark "Dumbo" Berman of the NY Post went further in his articles this past summer, saying he had interviewed the other GM's picking after Isiah, and none of them were going to pick Balkman in the late first round before the Knicks second very late first round pick, and therefore, according to Dumbo, Isiah could've gotten Balkman AND Marcus Williams. Well isn't it nice to have 20-20 hindsight and have the liberty to talk to the other GM's after the fact (something Isiah couldn't have).
Some more points:
1. The Nets didn't pick right after the Knicks in last June's draft. The Celtics did. And the Celtics desperately needed a point guard, only having not/never-ready-for-prime-time Sebasitan Telfair. The Celtics picked a point guard AND IT WASN'T MARCUS WILLIAMS. Marcus Williams fell through the first round like Michel Lampe encased in concrete. And at this point, the Nets don't play Marcus Williams late because he's too short. He has a propensity to gain weight ala Pearl Washington; that's why he fell through the first round.
2. The Knicks had four point guards. Why would Isiah risk losing the guy he wanted -- Balkman -- to get a fifth point guard?
3. If rumour ever got out that Isiah was looking to tab Balkman, no doubt one of those 'other' GM's would've jumped on Balkman. Isiah has a rep for great talent evaluation; when he likes a player, other GM's all of a sudden become interested in that player. Isiah isn't just another schmuck -- he's one of the greatest point guards of all time. When he sees a guy who he'd want to play with, it means something. Means a hell of a lot more than anything Stu Laden thinks. Or me, or Mark "Dumbo" Berman.
I LOVE the things Isiah Thomas has done as GM. AND I USED TO HATE ISIAH before he became Knick GM.

Can TV Be Like Sugar For Toddlers?
Recently we've encountered a problem in the Morgan household: Jack is obsessed with the TV show 'Curious George'. I like that fuzzy little monkey, but after watching it all evening I'm pro sending that monkey back to wherever the Man in the Yellow Hat found him.
So how much TV is too much TV for a toddler? Baby Center says to look at TV for toddler's like sugar: You want your child to enjoy this seductive stuff without consuming too much.
The article goes on to list several tips like choosing programs not television shows, choosing quiet programs, and watching the programs with your child.
I know 'Curious George', a PBS program, is stimulating Jack's imagination and his learning. The program has helped my son learn new colors and animals, and we spend a lot of time playing George at home (basically Jack pretends to be a monkey–which isn't too far from the truth). But is he relying on this show to learn?
I guess the moral of the story is everything is better in moderation, including 'Curious George.'

The Best of Parks and Recreation's Jean-Ralphio
NBC's Parks and Recreation has quickly become not only the funniest show on NBC's Thursday night lineup, but one of the best shows on the dial period. Anchored by star Amy Poehler (Leslie Knope) and rising stars Aziz Ansari (Tom Haverford) and Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson), hilarity can be found through each and every regular character in each and every episode.
However, it's through some of the minor characters that the biggest laughs can be found. Cue Ben Schwartz and his outrageous character Jean-Ralphio. The story goes that Jean-Ralphio was created specifically for Ben Schwartz because the producers liked him so much and wanted to get him involved.
Tom Haverford's best friend, Jean-Ralphio, believes he's a big player in the city of Pawnee, but is mostly thought of as a joke by everyone except for Tom. We could write about him more, but we'll let you sit back and enjoy some of his best moments.

BALTIMORE -- The Browns dropped to 0-2 and may have lost their starting quarterback.
The Ravens (1-1) celebrated their Super Bowl championship before the game, then scored two touchdowns in the second half to beat the Browns 14-6 this afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium.
Cleveland quarterback Brandon Weeden left the game in the fourth quarter with a right thumb injury, apparently after banging it on a helmet. Jason Campbell replaced him with 3:34 left, but couldn't muster a drive.
The Ravens have beaten the Browns 11 straight times, and coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco are 11-0 in the series.
The Browns are 0-2 for the fourth time in five years and sixth in eight.
The Ravens took a 14-6 lead with 8:57 left on a 5-yard pass from Flacco to undrafted rookie receiver Marlon Brown.
Flacco, whose wife gave birth to a boy about an hour before kickoff, continued to torment the Browns on third down – particularly cornerbacks Buster Skrine and Chris Owens. Flacco hit Brandon Stokley for 16 yards on third-and-10 and Brown for 18 yards on third-and-8 on the final scoring drive.
The Browns' last best chance to score came at the end of the third quarter. They took over at the Baltimore 45-yard line after linebacker Craig Robertson forced a Ray Rice fumble and linebacker D'Qwell Jackson recovered.
Weeden looked to throw deep on first down, but was sacked for a 9-yard loss. After a 15-yard completion on third-and-19, the quarter ended. Rookie coach Rob Chudzinski decided to go for it on fourth-and-4, and Weeden threw a short crossing route to tight end Jordan Cameron, who extended the ball to the 35-yard line.
The measurement was so close, the referee pulled out a piece of paper and slipped it between the ball and orange first-down marker. Then he signaled first down for the Ravens.
Chudzinski challenged for the first time in his career, but the call was upheld.
Weeden finished 21-for-33 for 227 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
Running back Trent Richardson rushed 18 times for 58 yards.

VAMPS rocks New York! (Photos by Takayuki Okada) – Concert Report by Mimi – J!-ENT Interviews and articles
October 11, 2010 by Mimi
VAMPS is a star duo project of Oblivion Dust guitarist K.A.Z and L'Arc-en-Ciel vocalist Hyde. The fairly new side project that launched in February 2008 has been an interest for fans of the duo. On October 9th, the band rocked the crowd in New York at the Roseland Ballroom in Irving Plaza.
VAMPS put on a really fantastic show. The band had really great energy and seemed to be in fine form, and they both looked and sounded great. They packed in quite a lot for the setlist, with a good mix including VAMPS songs drawing from their latest album "Beast", as well as songs from their first album and a few from HYDE's solo work. HYDE had the audience in the palm of his hand during his MCs, rousing the crowd up and feeding off of their energy. He also played into the VAMPS persona with some lines like, "I'm hungry… I want to eat some CRAZY AMERICANS!!" which had the audience going wild.
Also of note is the fact that the band played "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." It is one of HYDE's solo tracks, I'm very glad they played it as it was especially apropos given they were playing their show in New York on John Lennon's 70th birthday. The band also played the VAMPS cover of Shampoo's "Trouble", which is a fantastic up tempo rock cover. All in all they played a tight tight show, very well done VAMPS!!
Here are photos from the concert courtesy of Takayuki Okada.
VAMPS will be performing at the following locations around the world in October:
October 12 – SALA APOLO, Barcelona, Spain
October 16 – Espace La Grande Arche, Paris, France
October 23-24 – INTL. Gymnastics Center, Shanghai, China
November 6 – Teatro Caupolican, Santiago, Chile

For Starters, a Day of Rest
Sunday, August 6, 2006
After a week of watching his team practice with little hard contact against friendly faces, Coach Joe Gibbs got a chance to observe the Washington Redskins in action for the first time in a scrimmage yesterday against the Baltimore Ravens at FedEx Field -- and he offered a clearly unimpressed evaluation.
Instead of the grand unveiling of a high-priced, big-name offense that has generated much of the anticipation during the offseason and the first days of the training camp, a crowd of 47,258 saw the offense and coaches stick to the task of building the team by evaluating backup positions.
Outside of a non-contact, seven-on-seven series against the Ravens' starters designed, Gibbs said, to allow his players to work on timing in a new offense, none of the Redskins' offensive stars saw any action. Mark Brunell, Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley, Santana Moss, Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El stood on the sideline when full-squad hitting began.
For the afternoon Gibbs was measured, both in his evaluations and his enthusiasm. After a week of grand expectations stoked by players, both Gibbs and assistant head coach-defense Gregg Williams distanced themselves from the known commodities, preferring to focus on players they are less familiar with in order to determine how deep and how good the roster will be.
"We're rough. We have a lot of work to do all the way around," Gibbs said, adding that the work Brunell and the frontline players did see should not be overemphasized. "I'm always cautious about seven-on-seven because it's just that. The line's not there. No one's having to shift and move. Everyone has time."
When the full-contact 11-on-11 drills began, there were glimpses of what the Redskins expect, giving hungry fans a little taste of the team's potential star power. On the Ravens' fourth play from scrimmage, Redskins safety Sean Taylor drilled Ravens running back Mike Anderson in the chest, leveling him to the turf and sending him to the sideline with a mild concussion.
On the next play, strong-side linebacker Marcus Washington intercepted quarterback Steve McNair and raced 39 yards for a touchdown.
"It feels good to compete and actually compete against some other guys," Washington said. "We ran a little blitz and we got some good pressure on McNair. I was just dropped in my zone and I don't think he saw me, so he threw it right there. It was kind of a 'gimme' almost."
But yesterday was not intended to showcase the sizzle of Randle El, Moss or Lloyd, but to assess the major concern of depth.
Jason Campbell and Todd Collins, the quarterbacks vying to win the backup job to Brunell, took turns running the offense in full-contact, 11-on-11 drills, both to mixed results. In his first set of 10 offensive plays, Campbell, hampered by two penalties that annoyed Gibbs, threw for just two yards.
Collins, clearly familiar with the rhythm of the Redskins' new offense of quick scanning and throwing, followed and moved the ball easier, his highlight being a 20-yard pass to Richard Smith. But Collins, who completed three of five passes for 37 yards, was also stalled by penalties.
"I thought both guys did some good things out there, and hit some things, for a first week's worth of work," Gibbs said. "I think they'll get a lot of work and a lot of attention. Hopefully, what it does is that it will play itself out."
Campbell's second drive was more encouraging. He hit Mike Espy on a deep out to the left side for 22 yards that showed off both touch and power.
"Some things I thought I did really well came when I got comfortable, just being relaxed and throwing the deep ball," said Campbell, who went 4 of 7 for 48 yards. "I had so many high expectations, I was trying to press out there a little bit."
Defensively, the Redskins employed much of the same philosophy on the defensive line. Starters Phillip Daniels, Joe Salave'a and Cornelius Griffin did not play a single series.
"It's good to go out there and see if you improved from last year," middle linebacker Lemar Marshall said. "Even though you want your starters out there, you never know how good of a team you are until you look at your backups. If the backups come in and there's a dropoff, then you know you'll have trouble if you have injuries."
Williams was more demonstrative than Gibbs about what impressed him and what did not. He said he liked the team's effort, but singled out rookie safety Reed Doughty and second-year defensive back Aric Williams, who were burned on touchdown plays.
"I think with some of the guys, we said, 'We don't need to see those guys,' " he said, about not playing his top line. "We've got a good handle on a select core of veterans, but we've got to find out about the other guys that are going to make our team go. For a first day, it was okay, but I'm never going to be satisfied. I'm never going to be happy with that."

Rasta papa wrote a review of Black Diamond Icon Headlamp on August 15, 2013
Heavy, but nice in the dark.
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I don't remember how long I've had this head lamp, but I got it to replace my lighter Petzl, the one that has the retractable retainer head strap? I have found that it just wasn't bright enough while out roaming in the night, probably cause I'm getting into my 50's now. So I bought the BD Icon. I really love the light options with tilting, dimming, red to BRIGHT for those moonless walks at night. I feel much more secure walking in the dark. I even keep it next to my bed when I'm home and travel. The batteries do seem to last long. Then only CON - is the weight. But if I'm going backpacking and weight is an issue, I will just plan on staying near the tent and bring the light weight head lamp.
I really do like the BD Icon !

We are only a few days away from the launch of a new season of FIFA Match Predictor (previously known as FIFA World Leagues Predictor). Registration for our fifth Predictor season opens on 22 August.
As the excitement builds for the launch of Season 5, we will be castling a reflective eye on the first four seasons of our massively popular prediction-based game. We begin our Predictor Flashback series with a look at the opening season.
A competitive start
In it's inaugural season, FIFA World Leagues predictor attracted almost 30,000 players. Enticed by the incredible Grand Prize - a trip for two to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ - predictors attempted to maneuver their way to the top of the table over the course of 31 rounds. And maneuver they did! Of the four completed seasons to date, Season 1 holds the record for the highest average overall player score (1,046 points).
Two Canadian friends claimed Season 1. The Canucks, who are friends and co-workers, joined forces to make their predictions. "Our approach to the game was always simple," said MPear11. "We didn't really care how we finished each round, as long as we stayed close to the leaders and were consistent." Their tactics paid off and the duo won a trip to Africa's first ever FIFA World Cup!
I appreciated the game because I learnt more about the global sport. I think it made me a better fan.
Winner's words
"I like the fact that the selected matches are from around the world." said champion MPear11 while sitting at an outdoor café in Nelson Mandela Square, Johannesburg during the unforgettable tournament.
"I like the whole idea: that you have to know football to win this game… and that you have to know the teams… and that you have to know the history of the teams.
"I appreciated the game because I learnt more about the global sport. I think it made me a better fan," he said.
The prediction game gained a loyal fan in MPear11. Not only is he our first ever predictor champion but he also holds the honour of being one of only two thousand predictors to have played every single season of our prediction game to date!
Are you ready for Season 5? Do you have what it takes to win a trip to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil? Join us on 22 August and register for Season 5 of FIFA Match Predictor.

Absolutely no complaints with visagenie at all. I had less than a month until I needed a visa and I was busy with a lot of other things too. So I was recommended visagenie, filled in the simple form and sent my passport off for them to do all the hard complicated work. I also liked the passport photo service, it was a lot easier and cheaper to send a photo by email than go to a booth and spend £5 on a photo for them.
I completely recommend the service and I would use it again. It's a shame they don't sort your vaccinations, packing and flights for you too!

According to previously secret Filipino military files shown to the Wall Street Journal, Abu Sabaya - a leading member of the Abu Sayyaf rebel network linked to bin Laden - was initially located by signals from his satellite telephone.
But the joint US-Filipino intelligence team needed to know if he was still holding his latest hostages, two American missionaries, Martin and Gracia Burnham, and a local woman, Deborah Yap.
Their solution was a mixture of down-to-earth human intelligence, and American high technology.

"Narrator detracts from book"
I'm just in the second hour of this book and am sorry that the company that published this audiobook chose T. Ryder Smith to read it. The first-person narrator is supposed to be a well-educated, articulate schoolteacher from an equally well-educated Southern family -- no, this isn't an oxymoron -- yet he mispronounces too many words that he should know. In addition, his southern accent rings false. (For example, who says "uman" for "human" in the Delta?) Another reader, speaking of yet another audible book narrated by T Rider Smith, says this: "The book is a good, very original story, but the narrator's southern accents are so bad that it warps the entire book. . . . I live in Mississippi and I can assure you that people don't talk like this. It really detracts from what could have been a very enjoyable listen." I agree.

If anyone on the forum has had experiences, either positive or negative, with the Analogue Systems Sorcerer keyboard + modules, please give some input, as I'm seriously considering purchasing a unit within the next few days. Keep in mind, if I got it, I would customize it with a RS500e EMS Synthi Filter and/or a RS100 Moog-Type Ladder Filter.
Also, does anyone here own an Analogue Systems RS8000? If so, how would you compare this Eurorack to, let's say, a Synthesizers.com Studio 88 in terms of versatility and achieving esoteric sounds?

It's time for some San Diego Comic-Con 2012 news! The show kicked off today, Thursday July 12, 2012, so announcements are gradually starting to trickle onto the internet. The first comes from Square Enix and concerns Mass Effect.
Did I just hear you go, "Bwah?"
Square Enix is making a line of Mass Effect action figures, you know. The company is known for its Play Arts line, and its new Play Arts Kai line makes incredible detailed figures of characters from games like Uncharted, Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Street Fighter and soon Mass Effect. The Comic-Con Play Arts announcement was that the Mass Effect Play Arts Kai line will be bigger than we thought. Even though the first wave hasn't even been released to stores yet, a second wave is in development that will include figures of FemShep, the female version of Commander Shepard, and Tali'Zorah vas Normandy. That image up there at the right is a prototype of FemShep that Square Enix released online.
The FemShep and Tali figures will be part of the second wave of Mass Effect Play Arts Kai figures. The first wave features DudeShep (the male version of Commander Shepard), Garrus and Ashley. Each of these figures is $65, with the BioWare Store taking pre-orders of the first run, which is expected to arrive around December 2012.
I'm excited, as these look much better than the other Mass Effect action figures. In fact, I find myself wanting a FemShep and Garrus figure set, because I've got to celebrate my OTP. For those less internet savvy, that's "one true pairing" and reveals that I always have my FemShep go with Garrus in the games.

Jenn Harris made a splash at the 2005 New York International Fringe Festival with her take on Jodie Foster's all-business FBI agent Clarice Starling in Silence!, a musical spoof of the Oscar-winning film The Silence of the Lambs. Now Silence! is receiving its first fully staged New York run at off-Broadway's Theatre 80, and Harris has returned to step into Agent Starling's uniform once again. Broadway.com recently chatted with the witty actress about channeling two-time Oscar winner Foster, getting turned on by co-star Brent Barrett and how a New York stage actress became the center of a lawsuit with Lindsay Lohan.
When preparing for the role of Clarice Starling, did you go back and watch the original movie?
I watched the movie a million times. Before I auditioned I grabbed the movie and found a couple of things to run with, which were clearly [Clarice's] voice and the deep, deep, deep, deep, dire sincerity with which [Jodie Foster] played the role.
Your interpretation of Foster's accent is hilarious. Did you watch her other movies as well?
Abso-fucking-lutely. The Accused! Have you seen that shit?! I had never seen it until a couple months ago so I Netflix-ed it. She did Silence right after The Accused, and they just started handing her Oscars so I'm sure she was like, "All right people. I am wearing pantsuits in everything from now on."
Clarice is always so serious, but there are so many ridiculous gags in the show. How do you keep a straight face?
The more I do the show, the harder it gets. There are moments where we can improvise, mostly when I'm opposite [ensemble member] Jeff Hiller, and it's so hard to not break! The best thing I can do without completely turning upstage is to try and grit my teeth really fucking hard. I'm shaking my head back and forth thinking, "You asshole!"
Were there ever any moments you were afraid the show was going too far?
Hell no! If they had asked me to take off my top I would have maybe thought, "Well, Clarice wouldn't do that." As silly as a lot of it is, we took it painstakingly seriously. Nothing really shocks me anyways.
How is it working opposite Brent Barrett as Hannibal Lecter?
My god, he is beyond! Every time he sings the song "If I Could Smell Her Cunt" he hits this note and I always just sit there thinking "I wish I could sing like that." I'm so close to him sometimes that I'm literally looking at his vocal chords move in his throat, and I always just think, "What is happening? This is crazy!" But as a person, he's so great. Who else would step off Chicago on Broadway to throw on a pair of dirty lamb ears and make his own props and say, "Yeah I'll do that" and do it with a smile? I'm literally pinching myself that he joined us.
Does he scare you when he's in Hannibal mode?
The thing he does with Hannibal that just takes my breath away is that he's scary, but he's sexy too. He's scary, sexy and charming all in one look and I'll be like, "Oh my god, I kind of want to make out with him," but then I have to remember he'd probably want to eat my face off. Finding Hannibal Lecter sexy? That's just fucked up! But maybe that will be in the sequel. I'll get to make out with Brent Barrett and I'm not against that at all.
Well if there's a Hannibal musical, somebody else would have to play Clarice because Julianne Moore took over the role for the second movie.
No way, you're wrong! I'll just put on a red wig! Get a little pasty, I'll be fine.
Speaking of famous redheads, what ended up happening with your Lindsay Lohan drama? [Harris voiced an infant named Lindsay in a 2009 ETrade commercial who was described as a "milkaholic." Lohan threatened legal action against the company, claiming it was an attack on her highly publicized battle with alcoholism, and the ad was pulled.]
You know what that was…that was my five minutes of crazy right there. You can't do one thing sometimes without shit blowing up. I was in the studio for 15 minutes, and it had nothing to do with her. It didn't even cross my mind. They could've easily said to me, "It's kind of a jab at Lindsay Lohan." Nobody said that. Then it got pulled off the air so of course I was upset. I want my residuals…it was Etrade on the Super Bowl…I would've been making bank! I did a performance piece about it at Joe's Pub and the Post ran a story about it and the next morning I woke up to my phone blowing up with like, TMZ, contacting me. My agent's lawyers, my manager, were all like, "Do nothing, say nothing." I just didn't do anything from there. Honey, it was crazypants. The checks stopped, so I don't know what happened legally, or that we're supposed to know. I think they ended up settling out of court with her. It's so stupid!
So, are there any other famous movies you'd like to parody?
I have a company called Qwan (Quality Without a Name) and sometimes we do staged readings of movies that take themselves too seriously. We did Notes on a Scandal a few years ago. We just did Black Swan. That was pretty fucking amazing. I really want to do The Bodyguard next. I love that film so hard and I could do the entire thing all by myself.

Street fightin' chefs
I don't think this helps downtown Waukesha at all.
Ramon Antonio Mitre "Tony" Hernandez, owner of D Mo's Pasta and Chop House in downtown Waukesha, was arrested at about 2 a.m. Friday, according to police reports.
A 911 hang-up call plotted to Hernandez's residence in the 300 block of Mill Reserve Drive, where officers met with two males, one of whom was bloody, reports state.
Police asked to check camera footage for a fight in front of a local bar about 15 minutes before the 911 call took place.
Hernandez, 29, was arrested at 1:50 a.m., but no charges have been filed.
George Wang, owner of Waukesha Tattoo, said the fight happened in front of his cameras:
I will be sharing that with the police if needed but it looks like a 6 against 2 and Chef Tony was knocked down first… Chef Nate then was getting beaten up by the six I think outside of the camera view.
I just hope nobody got seriously hurt. I also hope that this doesn't prevent me from getting more of those awesome gyros.
But seriously, the domestic violence incidents and now this one are not going to help Chef Tony be very popular in the sleepy 'Sha.
Update! George has an update from Chef Tony:
Update: Chef Tony said he was assulted by these guys. They asked for smoke, then a light and then money he remember.
This is what I can see on the video, there seemed to be some gesturing by the group of six toward the general direction of Tony, I can not verify what happened when the group surrounded Tony, I do see him fall violently and a guy kicking his head (?) viciously.
Okay, but Hernandez was arrested.

Heaven Chopard - User Opinions and Reviews
Date Added: 15/06/2015Chopard Heaven is a sexy, yet truly striking woody flowery fragrance, somewhat smooth as well, firmly fixated on an exemplary accord of citrus and woods – for the most part (great, dry, fragrant) cedar, then white musks, flavors I smell a considerable amount of nutmeg and jasmine. All mixed with a classic 90's musky fresh sensation. Before you know it a modern crisp fougere shows up. It has a curious kind of foggy and one of a kind "mineral" freshness, smooth and very well made.by Daniel
Date Added: 03/12/2012too bad it is discontinued! one of the best fragrances for men indeedby Jalingo
Date Added: 03/12/2012Heaven (Chopard), What about Adam (Joop), Rush (Gucci), Nemo (Cacharel), Havana (Aramis), L'Uomo (Trussardi). I really miss these great discontinued fragrances!!! I wish they ever bring them back.by Milo

Used this to make Cream of Wheat this morning. I have no complaints whatsoever about the maple-and-blueberry taste I ended up with, but I have to note something odd…which is that my CoW did not thicken. At all. Not even slightly. Not even after having the crap boiled out of it.
I was so confused that I tripled-checked the amounts of everything I had used, and they were correct. Hell, I even used the deep-bowled TEA spoon to scoop out the CoW from the box, rather than the flatter kitchen teaspoon which spills it everywhere, so it should have been even more accurate than usual. It's not that the CoW is old, because it's a relatively new box…but I've made it from this box before with no trouble. And I've made it with Oh Canada before with no trouble. The only new thing is Teavana's tea. Surely there's no ingredient in it that would cause the CoW to fail to thicken? I will have to experiment.
This is weird, though. It's cooked and everything, but 10 minutes after I made it…still soup.

June 15th!
The company licensing my designs is Stencilease who are based out of Connecticut. The really cool thing about this company is that they cut stencils for commercial use as well so my designs have the potential to be ordered in a much larger size if requested. It's coming up fast and I'm stenciling away madly to create product mockups which I will soon be able to share.
June is definitely going to be a busy month for sure as my premier line of Margaret Applin Design Stencil Design Tools will launch closer towards the end of the month. I'm really excited about these stencils, as I've mentioned already, because I'm going back to my textile roots! I'm dying fabric, bleaching fabric, incorporating free-motion and hand stitching. I'm making stuff I can wear using easy patterns by Burda, Butterick, Vogue and possibly a few indie patterns as well which are just the canvas for the surface pattern design using my new Stencil Design Tools.
As I think about it and madly Pin on Pinterest everything that inspires me, I look back at some of the fun stuff I've made with fabric and get excited all over again! I feel like I'm picking up where I left off a few years ago and this go around I've got more ideas and tools to use than ever.
Do you remember these?
Anyway, moving forward, fresh ideas and fresh materials make a world of difference and I can't wait to play! Have a creative weekend and welcome JUNE!!!

Commenting on the publication of the 'Report of the Protection of Vulnerable Adults Project Board' by the Welsh Assembly Government, Louise Hughes, Age Cymru's Elder Abuse Programme Manager says:
"We welcome the publication of this report of the Protection of Vulnerable Adult Project Board.
"Its two overarching recommendations - reviewing legislation and replacing the statutory guidance for adult protection to make it fit for purpose, will be fundamental in ensuring that vulnerable people in Wales are better protected from abuse.
"This, along with stronger national leadership, will ensure that adult protection is given the priority it must have from the Welsh Assembly Government and local agencies dealing with the abuse of vulnerable adults.
"We believe that legislation must address the gaps in the current system including the duty to investigate and the duty to co-operate so that vulnerable adults get better outcomes from investigations.
"Independent advocacy is a key service in supporting older people who have been abused and in putting them at the centre of decisions about their life.
"We are pleased that the report to the Minister recognises the importance of advocacy in adult protection and that it will be considered as part of the review of legislation.
"We hope that the outcomes from the review and the new and updated statutory guidance are implemented as a matter of priority and that all agencies involved in adult protection ensure a cohesive and consistent multi agency approach to adult protection in Wales.

Pirates seize Greek tanker off Oman
Pirates have seized a Greek-flagged supertanker with 25 crew members off the coast of Oman, the Merchant Marine Ministry in Athens said.
The Irene SL was sailing 200 nautical miles east of Oman with a cargo of 266,000 tons of crude oil and a crew of seven Greeks, 17 Filipinos and one Georgian when it was attacked, the ministry said.
The tanker was sailing from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Mexico. The ministry said authorities had lost contact with the ship since the attack.
The Piraeus-based shipping company First Navigation Special Maritime Enterprises confirmed its ship had been attacked by pirates but had no further comment.
The Irene SL was the second oil tanker to be attacked in that region in two days. On Tuesday, Somali pirates firing small arms and rocket-propelled grenades hijacked an Italian-flagged oil tanker in the Indian Ocean. The tanker had been heading from Sudan to Malaysia.
The pirates boarded the MV Savina Caylyn after a sustained attack by a skiff carrying five suspected pirates, the European Union's anti-piracy task force said.
