Dee Snider Talks "Rock of Ages," Tom Cruise As Stacee Jaxx [Video]When Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider was performing as club owner Dennis Dupree in Broadway's Rock of Ages, word came through that the hit musical would soon be developed into a blockbuster movie. Snider's manager was giddy over the prospect of Dee's big screen casting - a role that eventually went to Alec Baldwin - but Dee had no expectations, thinking instead that the film would cast big names. And he was exactly right.

---------------------------------20 minutes later----------------------------------------
*Sits up*
Sorry bout that..Now what should I be doing here?Probably catching up on a couple of questions..Hmm I'll get to that eventually..
:roll: Fine! I'll do one or a couple now hten get onto my ranting..Lets see..A question I like..
I would answer Do you think Emmett would go skydiving? But that's kinda self-ansering and now discussion there, no offence to who wrote it.
Hmm what about: What if Emmett could choose a new mate. Do oyu think he would stay wiht Rose or find someone who he has more in common with?
This is quite good. Ok so it is kinda self-answering too but I think I can elaborate and knowing me get fired up about and get into it and ramble or AGES, not quite a Bri post but close enough that people just breeze over it because it looks too long and doesn't actually say anything that makes sense..Kinda like this here..Ok lets attempt it..Emmett would definitely not choose a new mate. To Emmett, Rosalie is his world. She is what the sun revolves around. Yes, she can be self-centered, mean, longing for something that he can never give her, has some different interests from him, but he loves her. She saved him form bear when he was getting mauled to death and he was, and still is, his angel. He would do anything for her. Go anywhere. Lik ein New Moon or Twilight how they say that Emmett and Rose are off on another honeymoon but Bella knows it is because of her, Emmett loved Bella from the start and would've loved to spend time wiht her and his favourite brother but Rose needed time away and so he went with her with, as far as we know, and I would be inclined to believe given his character, no questions asked. He would never trade her for anything but he would trade anything to make her happy. He would give anyhting in the world, including his life I would think, to give her what she wants. But hten also I think for her side of the story, she knows he would do anything for her and she loves him as much as he loves her.
Even though on the surface they don#t seem to have much in common with each other I think that they actually do. He likes showing strength and skill and she loves cars so they work together on these sorta projects. She loves the public image and I think sometimes he wold too. they both love Nessie so would love spending time with her. What else? *deep breath* I just think that he would think that he could never find anyone in the entire world that he has more in common with (if oyu don't count the boys) or loves mroe that anythign in the world combined so therefore he would never trade her for someone else. *panting from stress induced by attempting a question*
Ok. Sound good? Nope? OK I'll attempt a new one also..
This was the only other one I could find on this page that I thought I could answer..
If Emmett were a girl, what kind of clothes owuodl he wear?
Well..If he were still in the Cullens and a sister to Alice and Rose, obviously something expensive, stylish, designer, "in" and totally awesome. But if it were up to Emmettina, and he/she still had his/her sporting love etc, he/she would be in comfortable, desinger, sporty, awesome clothes..
Now can I start my rambling?
Even if you say no, theres ntohign you can do about it now
OK so I noticed people talking about who and when the OC was created..Well! *Sits down in front of attentive EDCers in Wreck Hall caressing the Emmett manniken* It all started around the 3rd Thread when the numbers really started picking up and it referred to the members and staff who participated in Thread # 1. So if you were not in Thread # 1 you were not called the OC but then some of the people who joined just after that, no matter htat they weren't in the first thread proved htat they were worthy of our company by their craziness and thus a few of us started the CC (Crazy Crew) also. Of course, led by the craziest herself, Shannon (skylarblue). After this people were just memebrs and we would have lots of fun here anyway.
I missed the OC and CC for so long and now I am so happy that I am seeing so many of them here now *sniffle* *wipes tears form eyes*
What else did I notice here?
Haha oh yeah. Carrie stepping her foot down. God that made me laugh. Not because what she said was funny. Cos it totally was not. I agree with Everything she said. For so long the thread was just conversations and lacked any realy, solid Emmett-vsit-worthy material. Just because the Staff (Carrie, Shannon, Heather [oh how I miss this girl..*sniffle*] and of cours BHG) are not here to keep you all in line, doesn't mean you can't go off and talk about randomness.
No, I found this so hilarious because Carrie can never, besides then, get angry! So many times shes tried to get mad at us and it has always been so funny! Mostly because we were probably doing something really naughty like plotting, then carrying out, the plan to steal BHG's 2x4's and stash them in mulitply hiding places around hte world and hten we shredded them in a wood-chopper and what-not (boy was that the funnest couple fo days or what..Oh the memories.. ) and then BHG made us stick them all back together with glue when we moved Threads and then it always had to be Shannon who got mad at us and brings us back into line (BHG was away and usually Heather was helping us..). Carrie just couldn't do it. That's why we all feared, and still fear, the Ruler of Doom. I don't know how many times Shannon used to pull that out and did we manage to steal it once? And then you caught us..? I dunno..Anyway, we pretty much feared Shannon so much when we started getting off topic even just a little bit..
Now I am finished my annoyed, random oldie rant..
What else did I have to mention?
Of yeah, just a quick update on my travels: I am still in Austria till mid January. I just moved Host Families, this is my 4th. School started again today, but only for 2 hours. I live right in the middle of my town now. On Saturday I am going by bus with 2 classes from school to Cannes, France for the week while the classes have some french lessons and me and hte other Australian girl get to have free mornings exploring and beaching every day. We will get afternoon trips to places like Nice and Monaco. During the week we are hosted by French families which will be so much fun!!!
And someone asked if anyone had spoken to Sierra..I HAVE! She is stil alive and well Facebook is pretty much and exchange students best friend (as i found out this year) and I have been keeping in contact with her and Shannon through that
What else?
Actually I'm thinking this is maybe getting a little long, and now I promise form the bottom of my heart, now that I know the OC is getting back, that I will be on more often! I can't promise how often, but definitely more than my once a month I am currently pulling off..
So..Talk soon my lovely ladies and gentlemen!
OH! And before I forget! Me and Emmett did some demolisions over the summer break. Don't worry Shannon, it wasn't during your birthday week..
A nursing home.. - But don't worry! Noone was home! They were all out on some excursion..
Backhoe Genius At Work - Got to get right in and dirty with my Backhoe Trainee. Emmett was overseeing my work so I didn't do anything wrong with my trainee-ship
And that's all I can find to share ..
I will try and pop in later to see if anyone replies before I hit the sack and watch the televising of the MTV VMAs here..

Today's (Wednesday) trial on the enforcement actions related to the city of Clinton not releasing records of closed sessions has been continued. In a summary judgment issued Tuesday, the city was found to have violated the Open Records law in not releasing the records of a series of six closed meetings held regarding the lawsuit filed over the ambulance service billing practices. Today's trial was to present arguments on the penalties and enforcement.
The EMS billing lawsuit was settled for the city paying a 4 and a half million dollar fine and penalty for the Medicare and Medicaid billing practices.
The Iowa A-C-L-U took the case on behalf of a citizens group know as Citizens For An Open Government and has present the case in court.
The parties met for two hours with the judge in the case and then announced the trial has been continued until January 30th. The judge's order states the delay is for the city to procure additional witnesses and to conduct settlement negotiations in light the summary judgment ruling.
An attorney for the C-FOG group said one the issues was whether the city knowingly violated the statute.
A leader of the C-FOG group – Ed O'Neill spoke to the media in the parking lot leaving the courthouse and said the group wanted injunctive relief, a fine and attorney fees. After the hearing, O'Neil said the discussion is about who will pay the fine and fees. He said the C-FOG group wants individual council members to have to pay while the city is offering to pay. He said that costs the taxpayers. O'Neill said someone should be held accountable and that's the council members and not the taxpayers.
He estimated the attorney fees would be about 50-thousand dollars and then whatever fine the judge may impose. He estimated that split among the council members that would be about a year's council salary.
O'Neill was recently elected to the council and believes in that capacity it strengthens the efforts to have the individual council members responsible for paying the penalties.
Clinton City Attorney Jeff Farwell has not been available for comment on today's developments or whether the city will consider an appeal of the judge's partial summary judgment.

Oh, Oh WOW!
This tea was in my to-go cup yesterday and WOW! I must've steeped this one perfectly because it was so good, so-good! That I did not have to add milk or cream or anything to it really. And I actually finished the entire cup! When I get to work the kids are so busy that I usually forget my tea and end up sipping it cold and if it is black I make a "sour pinchy face" (or what the kids call the: we're not eating that for snack face")… No I clutched this travel mug to my body until the last drop!
I don't remember what it tasted like, but oh dear God, I just know that if it was good enough for me to hold on to until the last drop, I know it is good enough to take the next empty tin into DAVIDs and ask for 100g of this!

Robin Thicke is about to make getting out of the doghouse impossible for men everywhere.
The pop-R&B crooner is reportedly going to use his performance at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday to make a plea to his estranged wife, actress Paula Patton.
Thicke, whose addition to the lineup was announced on Thursday, has apparently written a new song to show Patton how much he wants her back – and he's going to premiere it in front of millions, according to TMZ.
The gossip site claims to have obtained (more like delivered by Thicke's camp) lyrics for a heartfelt ballad, "Get Her Back."
"I should've kissed you longer/ I should've held you stronger / And I'll wait for forever for you," are some of the words to the tune.
It's been a tough year for Thicke.
He moved dance floors all last summer with "Blurred Lines." The slinky pop-disco gem was the biggest hit of his career and reminded us that Pharrell Williams is one of the greatest producers breathing air (we're still in the midst of Williams' hot streak).
But everything fell apart in six minutes at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
What went wrong? Everything. There was Miley Cyrus in a silicone bikini and a foam finger that had zero respect for boundaries, Thicke in a tight stripped suit (he was supposed to be a sexy referee but looked like Beetlejuice) and the twerk seen around the world. A grossed-out nation immediately shamed Thicke.
If that wasn't a buzz killer there were reports of infidelity (with some unfortunate pictures) and a messy suit with Marvin Gaye's family over "Blurred Lines." And just when you couldn't feel sorrier for the guy, the Grammys makes him perform with Chicago.
Since their separation was announced in February, Thicke has been telling crowds catching his tour how badly he wants to reconcile with his teenage sweetheart.
Maybe the new tune will do the trick -- and thankfully Cyrus will be beamed into the ceremony from another country.

COLUMBUS — A woman crossed a traditional Hanukkah dish with White Castle hamburgers to win the annual recipe contest held by the Columbus-based chain.
Leslye Louis of New Melle, Mo., named her creation "The Latkes You Crave," after White Castle's slogan "What you crave."
She made the Jewish potato pancakes with the usual ingredients, including grated potatoes and eggs, and also incorporated 10 chopped-up White Castle "slyders" — minus the pickles.
As part of her prize, Louis will receive a case of 30 of the burgers each week for a year.
Judges awarded second place to Philana Ford of Chicago for a Chinese dim sum appetizer recipe using White Castles. Betty McNees of Cincinnati won third for something called "Cook-Out Crave."

Cabinet Approves Moderate Raise in Natural Gas Royalty Rate
21 ministers approves compromise proposal of Sheshinski Committee to increase government take on profits from exploitation of natural resources.
The cabinet approved by a large majority the recommendations of the Sheshinski Committee to increase the royalty rate that oil and gas companies are required to pay the state on profits from the natural resources that it exploits.
The Sheshinski Committee recommended that the state royalties be increased from the current rate of 33 per cent to a figure that would waver between 52 per cent and 62 per cent.
Officials said Israel's tax rates have historically had been on the low side in global terms, and its energy royalties law is out of date.
Energy companies oppose the new tax and their stock prices have been hit on investor fears the levy would hurt their profits and could put gas production at risk.
Two recently discovered gas fields are set to boost the sector significantly and together could generate up to e4 billion in annual revenue for Israel, officials say.
Tamar field, discovered in 2009 by a group led by Noble Energy of the United States and Israel's Delek Energy, has estimated reserves of 8.4 trillion cubic feet. The partners confirmed that another new discovery, the nearby Leviathan field, is twice as big.
The ministers of the Likud, Shas and Atzmaut parties voted in favor of the committee's recommendations, while National Infrastructural Minister Uzi Landau and the other ministers of Yisrael Beiteinu voted against the proposal.
Likud Minister without Portfolio Yossi Peled abstained from the vote due to his previous business partnership with Yitzhak Tshuva, one of the owners of drilling rights for an underwater natural gas field in Israeli territorial waters.
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, who led the efforts to convince the cabinet ministers to adopt the committee's recommendations, said, "Today the government will put an end to the disgrace in which the citizens of Israel do not benefit from the country's natural resources, as do the citizens of other developed nations."
"Today the government sends a clear message to everyone that thinks that the most wealthy and powerful affect its decision-making process," Steinitz added.

CALGARY - Former Calgary Stampeders star Joffrey Reynolds has gone from the toast of the town to handcuffs and shackles.
Monday Reynolds, a U.S citizen who was seen cuffed and shackled and being walked by guards, was in the custody of border services officials following police charging him on Saturday with assault and break and enter related to an alleged attack on an estranged girlfriend.
The former all-star running back appeared before a justice of the peace at the Calgary Courts Centre around 3 a.m. Sunday before being released into the custody of the Canadian Border Services Agency on unrelated immigration matters.
Border services officials were not available for comment Monday, but its believed Reynolds will face a detention review hearing to see if he has to remain in custody or the community while dealing with immigration issues.
It is believed he has no status in Canada, essentially meaning he is illegally in the country and thus immigration officials will likely pursue his removal to the U.S.
Despite being in border services custody, Reynolds was earlier granted bail by the courts on condition he stay away from his alleged victim and outside a three-block radius of her residence and refrain from consuming intoxicants including alcohol.
During his 16-minute court appearance Monday, Reynolds indicated he understood the charges he faces and was advised of his right to counsel, court documents show.
Hes scheduled to return to provincial court on July 26, in the courtroom where domestic disputes are handled, although if he signs a designation of counsel, a lawyer can appear on his behalf.
One day after learning of Reynolds arrest, his former employer addressed the situation at McMahon Stadium.
Calgary Stampeders president Lyle Bauer was quick to point out the running back, who was cut by the team on Jan. 23, is no longer part of the organization.
Honestly, it would be inappropriate for the club to comment or make any statement in that regard, Bauer said Monday.
Were very limited in our knowledge of the details and it is in the hands of the law.
At this point in time, Joffrey is a former Stampeder and it is in the hands of the law.
Bauer was saddened when he heard the news.
Its very tough to hear news like that in life, Bauer said.
Football is not immune to those types of things and its very unfortunate, but well have to see what happens.
Stamps head coach/GM John Hufnagel was tight-lipped about the situation.
Its a very sensitive issue and its in the hands of the law, Hufnagel said.
Any further comment by me would be inappropriate.
Hufnagel won a Grey Cup with Reynolds in 2008 before releasing the veteran after he lost his starting job to Jon Cornish midway through last season.
Reynolds is the Stampeders all-time leading rusher with 9,213 yards.
The 32-year-old from Tyler, Texas, joined the Stampeders in 2004 after stints with the NFLs St. Louis Rams, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants.

Just when you thought there was finally a closure to the video format war, we've heard more news on the Chinese HD DVD specifications from TG Daily. With the world's largest population backing, the defunct Toshiba-led format will undoubtedly have high hopes for a comeback. CH-DVD uses a combination of HD DVD as well as Chinese proprietary video encoding, copy protection, and technologies.
On a separate note, Toshiba is betting its chips on a new DVD Download/DL standard that promises better picture quality and possible access to Web content. The former is widely believed to be based on the Japanese company's SpursEngine 1000 processor, capable of delivering an enhanced video-upscaling performance than existing DVD players. The download element, meanwhile, will bridge Blu-ray's value-added interactivity features with its supposed live Internet connectivity.

Deepika Padukone been chosen the most loved female Bollywod star for the month of January 2016, beating her contemporary Katrina Kaif, according to an Ormax Media survey. The research organisation has released a list of top 10 female Bollywood stars for the month of January, in which Deepika is in the first position.
The monthly survey, called Ormax Stars India Loves (Ormax SIL), was conducted to assess the popularity of several female Bollywood stars in 29 cities across India, taking a sample size of 3,300. The survey result says Deepika is the most popular and loved female star for the month of January, while Katrina is second on the list.
Priyanka Chopra bagged the third slot, followed by Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kajol. Other female stars in the top 10 are Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha and Jacqueline Fernandez.
Deepika's last movie "Bajirao Mastani", also starring Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra, broke several records at the box office, and the actress' performance in the film was widely appreciated. Moreover, she has been giving back-to-back hits with films like "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani", "Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela" and "Piku". However, "Tamasha" did not live up to the commercial expectations.
On the other hand, Katrina's career graph seems to be passing through a rough phase as her last few films failed to impress with box office figures. While Katrina's last hit movie was "Bang Bang" (2014) starring Hrithik Roshan, both "Phantom" (2015) and the recently released "Fitoor" could not make much of an impact on the box office. Moreover, Deepika's upcoming debut Hollywood movie "XXX: The Return of Xander Cage", starring Vin Diesel and Jet Li, has been one of the most talked about topics of late.
Priyanka, too, remains in news for her US TV show "Quantico", apart from her upcoming movie "Jai Gangaajal". While Deepika has no confirmed upcoming Hindi project as of now, Katrina has two upcoming films — "Jagga Jasoos" and "Baar Baar Dekho".

Mariners snare free agent Washburn
Ex-Angel, fourth in AL in ERA in 2005, agrees to four-year deal
By Doug Miller / MLB.com
Washburn, the left-handed starter who spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Angels, has been tracking down deer near his rural Wisconsin home.
Bavasi, the Mariners' general manager, has been scouring the free agent market and pounding the phone lines with other teams to improve his team for 2006.
Both scored what they seem to think is a major hit by agreeing to a four-year, $37.5 million contract that will allow Washburn to stay in the American League West and Bavasi to continue to renovate the Seattle starting rotation.
"At the start of this offseason, our goals were to acquire a high-quality starting pitcher, add offense, re-sign Jamie Moyer and, ideally, upgrade our catching," Bavasi said. "Today's announcement marks the final, and perhaps most important, in that offseason list of goals.
"Jarrod is a proven Major League winner who immediately makes us better in the starting rotation. He has pitched in big games, including in the postseason. He was a pitcher we had targeted from the beginning of the offseason, and we are very excited to have him on the club for the next four years."
Washburn, 31, made $6.5 million last year with the Angels and went 8-8, but his 3.20 ERA ranked fourth in the AL and was his lowest mark since his watershed season of 2002, when he went 18-6 with a 3.15 ERA as the ace for an Angels team that won the World Series.
Bavasi knows Washburn very well. As GM of the Angels in 1995, he selected Washburn in the second round of the First-Year Player Draft, and he watched the pitcher develop into a feisty, courageous gamer who gritted out most of his early career with about four versions of one pitch: the fastball.
Washburn, who has a lifetime 75-57 career record with a 3.93 ERA, has added to his repertoire since then, with a changeup, a slider and the beginnings of a split-fingered fastball in his arsenal since 2003.
"I don't think there's any question I'm a better pitcher now than I have been in the past," Washburn said. "I'm continuing to improve my overall game. I was kind of forced into that non-fastball thing. In Spring Training in '03, I fell down on my shoulder and I'm pretty stubborn and I don't like missing time so I kept pitching through it. I lost some zip on my fastball that year.
"I was forced to use other pitches I didn't have confidence in. By doing that, I gained more confidence in the breaking ball. By throwing it more often, it got better. I continued to evolve as a pitcher."
Washburn is a contact pitcher who gets a good deal of fly-ball outs, which should play well in the vast layout of Safeco Field. He pitches at about 86-89 mph with a fastball that occasionally reaches 90-92.
Another positive about Washburn is the fact that he won't have to make at least half of his starts in Anaheim. In his Major League career, Washburn is 47-24 with a 3.34 ERA away from Angel Stadium, compared to 28-33 and 4.61 ERA at home.
More good numbers for the Mariners: Last year, he was second in the AL in road ERA with a 2.65 mark and led the AL in night ERA at 2.53. Washburn also got stronger as the year went on, allowing more than three earned runs in three of his final 17 starts, and he did not allow a stolen base all season. The 177 1/3 innings without a steal was the fourth-highest total of innings pitched in a season without allowing a steal since 1974.
Washburn also seems to like pitching in Seattle. Last year, he compiled a 1.93 ERA in two Safeco Field starts while holding opponents to a .188 batting average there. Lifetime in Safeco, Washburn is 5-4 with a 3.53 ERA and a .240 opposing batting average in 11 starts.
"With my history, I've been a fly-ball pitcher, and there's no question that Safeco Field plays pretty big," Washburn said. "When you've got guys like Ichiro [Suzuki] and Jeremy Reed out there in the outfield, I've seen them make some great plays over the years. [When] you got guys like that running down balls for you, it sure can help."
"Jarrod should be a great fit for our rotation," Mariners manager Mike Hargrove added. "With the left-handed hitting in the AL West and in our ballpark, it's nice to have another lefty."
One concern about Washburn in the last couple of years has been injuries. In 2004, he was sidelined for six weeks because of a cartilage tear in his chest and finished the year with 25 starts and 149 1/3 innings. Last season, he had flare-ups in his elbow and forearm that limited him to 177 1/3 innings and 29 starts. The last time Washburn pitched over 200 innings was 2003, when he logged a career-high 207 1/3.
Still, the Angels won the AL West in 2004 and 2005.
"We won the division and Jarrod had a huge part in that," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said in early 2005. "He poured his heart out there all year and held up his end. At times, he might have struggled with a few things, but we know what he can do. We saw it in 2002. It's still in there."
The Mariners are banking big-time on Scioscia's sentiments, and the addition of Washburn gives them another piece to a rotation that's almost full.
Washburn joins Moyer, Felix Hernandez and Joel Pineiro as definites for Seattle's starting staff, and Tuesday should give more clues, when the team decides if it will offer contracts to arbitration-eligible hurlers Gil Meche and Ryan Franklin.
Rumors have been swirling that the Mariners might be talking trades with the Red Sox, who will be looking for a center fielder if free agent Johnny Damon leaves Boston, perhaps for the New York Yankees. If that happens, published reports have indicated that the Mariners might deal Reed to the Sox for either Matt Clement or Bronson Arroyo.
Meanwhile, Washburn represents another big step in the Mariners' offseason rebuilding plan. They already signed free agent catcher Kenji Johjima and outfielder/designated hitter Carl Everett, while trading catcher Yorvit Torrealba for hard-throwing relief prospect Marcos Carvajal.
The newest Mariner said he'll be surprised if it isn't a better year for Seattle fans than it has been for the last two.
"Every time we played against the Mariners last year, I couldn't believe they weren't winning more games," Washburn said. "They've got a lot of talent on the ballclub. The lineup they have starting with Ichiro at the top and working all the way down, they've got some talented guys.
"They felt they were lacking some better pitching. I think I can improve that ... I'm looking forward to the challenge."

The Vault...Old Friends 4 Sale
(Warner Bros. Records)
Among the unreleased Prince albums sitting in Warner Bros. Records vaults: a note-for-note redo of James Brown's 1962 Live at the Apollo album, complete with canned applause; a soul-jazz-prog-fusion-polka two-man ballet titled DMSR, 4 Feet; a collaboration with Sly Stone, Bernie Worrell, and Britney Spears called Deep N the Pink; 34 remixes of "Batdance," including one in Yiddish; and a punk-rock concept album about a record label that keeps its artists imprisoned in a dungeon-cum-studio, allowing them to come out only when it's time to tour (it's name: Funk U, Warners). The man needs vaults in which to keep his vaults, so prodigious is his output.
Nearly every Prince (or The Artist Formerly Known) album since 1994 has been a rest-of: the why-did-ya Come, the not-bad Chaos & Disorder, and the five-disc Crystal Ball set available to suckers through the mail (and that doesn't include the official release of The Black Album). He's got product enough to fill a thousand landfills. Don't be fooled by the "official bootleg" status bestowed upon this cynical product. You can smell this one coming, despite Warners' bloated claim that The Vault is a "major event for Prince fans worldwide." Maybe a disc with the "Manic Monday" demo would be a good place to start. But after all this time, who the hell cares anymore?
Here's yet another piece of throwaway plastic to prove quantity beats out quality in the Paisley Park empire, and this one ought to come with a warning sticker. After all, Prince gave this to Warners as a parting gift, allowing the label to release it once it freed him from his contract. (They also get to release all five hours of Prince belching and farting, another bootleg treasure among the diehards; that boxed set is due in December.) Now who's the slave? Listen to what he stuck Warners with: 10 lifeless tracks, one of which appeared on the Girl 6 soundtrack in a blessedly shorter form, and nine of which are as incidental as anything the man ever recorded, threw away, rescued, then threw away again between 1985 and 1994.

"It's About That Walk" doesn't even sound like a Prince outtake; think more along the lines of the Bus Boys. "Sarah" sounds as funky as a Tonight Show commercial break; you half expect Prince to break into a rundown of who's on tomorrow night's program. Then there's the exquisitely hysterical "My Little Pill," a minute-long spoken-word ditty about a single mother hooked on the pixie dust (or...something). Not that the entire disc is a bust: Worth rescuing is "5 Women" -- as in, it took five women to get one off of Prince's dirty mind -- which could have been on an Al Green record, circa 1973. If only it weren't on this record.

In January (and the previous June) the runways were awash with flood length trousers. It also originates from the current vogue for rolling up skinny jeans and Riviera style ticking pants, that are an essential element of the "edgy" yet simultaneously ubiquitous Hoxton trendy look. It alarms that such a standardised roster of style is billed at alternative or individual at all.

Sen. Bill Brady on Friday came to terms with the Associated Press' assessment a day earlier that it was mathematically impossible for him to close a roughly 19,000 vote gap.
"There has been no greater honor for us to be part of the campaign," he said in a concession speech at a Doubletree Hotel in Bloomington. "Gov. Quinn won this race."
Brady said he's already called the governor to congratulate him and hopes to work with him.
His remarks followed those of his running mate, Jason Plummer, who choked up a bit when addressing the packed crowd.
"I got into this race not for political reasons but because I thought there were problems in Illinois," he said. "I think we articulated ideas well."
Speaking in Chicago, Quinn said his election win was "defying the odds."
"They had me down 13 points. I never really believed that. When you're down 13 points, nobody throws rosebuds," he said.
The governor renewed his committment to creating jobs -- "it's not Democratic jobs or Republican jobs" -- and improving schools, saying he wants to "make sure nobody in the country out-educates Illinois."
Quinn saluted the "beer summit" held by Senator-elect Mark Quinn and Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and extended a similar offer to Brady to meet him at Manny's Deli.
"We can sit down and have lunch and work together for the common good of Illinois," said Quinn. "We may have differences -- strong differences -- on policy issues, but we are all Americans and we're all Illinoisans and we have to work together for the common good at all times."
Of Illinois' 102 counties, Brady won all but three of them. In fact, going into the final 24 hours of the race, it was obvious that the Brady forces thought they had won.
And it's easy to understand why. So many polls had the Brady camp leading.
A Public Policy poll had Brady winning by five percent. Fox News had him up by six percent and the Chicago Tribune had him ahead by four percent. In early October, one Rasmussen poll predicted an eight percent Brady victory.
But the three counties Brady lost are among the most populous in the state, including Cook County. More than half of Quinn's final vote tally came from metro Chicago. It's believed that organized labor played a major role in that.

I followed the steps in this guide: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...ii-virgin.html
When i am at this step
"C) Next load up AnyTitle Deleter, select IOS36 as the one it should run with and delete any IOS that has a number greater than 200. DO NOT DELETE ANY OTHER IOS WITH IT!" I run into errors.
When I select to load IOS36 I get this error message:

Thanks a lot.
Please I need help with this, I'm gonna sell my wii and i don't think having it softmodded will help me.
Seems like it's been a while since you have installed any newer IOSs or anything new for that matter, here are the explanations for those error codes.
Installing/Uninstalling WAD's/Downgrading/Region Changing If it's a WAD files ticket just reinstall the WAD and then uninstall using Wad manager v1.3/1.4/1.5. If it's a missing ticket due to a downgrade or region change then you may have a bricked Wii. Try to reinstall all IOS's from original sources then run IOS Downgrader (or dont downgrade at all, its not necessary anyway...)
IOS Installation Error Most likely using an old or incorrect IOS, missing an IOS, or the IOS you're trying to install cannot be installed on top of another.
Q. How do I fix this error?2011:
A. Fix it by installing a newer IOS 249 than the one you already have (if you don't have it, try installing it). If you still get this error, fix it the same way as Error 2011.
Installation Error Most likely installed incorrect or out of date IOS.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Blinking often was not a good idea for Tennessee fans who wanted to see the Lady Vols score.
Kara Lawson scored 18 points and Michelle Snow had 16 points and 10 rebounds Thursday as second-ranked Tennessee beat No. 12 Florida 86-66 with a fast-paced up-and-down game.
Gwen Jackson added 17 points, Loree Moore had 11 points and eight assists and Tasha Butts scored 10 for the Lady Vols (18-1, 7-0 Southeastern Conference), who have won seven straight to remain undefeated in league play.
''I think it's our best (game) with everyone committed to running. That's exactly what we want to do,'' Tennessee coach Pat Summitt said. ''I don't want this team spending three-fourths of their time on offense in the half-court game. I want them to spend three-fourths of their time in transition.''
The Lady Gators (15-6, 5-3), led by Brandi McCain's 18 points, just couldn't keep up with Tennessee and had their four-game winning streak snapped.
The Lady Vols started with a lineup made for running led by Moore at the point. A faster pace also keeps teams from keying on Tennessee's 6-foot-5 twin towers in the post, Snow and Ashley Robinson.
''It's ideal for Loree, but I also think it's ideal for our basketball team,'' Summitt said. ''I think when we get in the half-court game people double team Snow and people double team Robinson. They can change defenses quickly.''
Tennessee never trailed and led by as many as 15 points late in the first half as they pushed the tempo to close with a 43-31 lead at halftime.
Florida cut the lead to 45-35 early in the second half but couldn't get any closer with leading-scorer Vanessa Hayden sidelined with four fouls.
''When one of your key players is out, Tennessee is certainly a team that can take advantage of that and do it quickly. It kept what we hoped would be a competitive game, it turned it into a joke,'' Florida coach Carol Ross said.
The Lady Vols did take advantage with a 14-2 run over the next six minutes.
Lawson finished it with back-to-back baskets to put Tennessee ahead 59-37 with 12:41 to go. Lawson raised her arms to encourage the crowd to get louder, and Ross called a timeout.
It didn't help.
Lawson scored again and Snow had two baskets as the Lady Vols increased the already-quick pace to frenetic. A pair of free throws by Lawson gave Tennessee a 69-39 lead with 9:48 left.
Nothing was going right for Florida, and the bench was called for a technical, and Jackson made both free throws. Hayden finished with 17 points and seven blocks before both she and McCain fouled out.
''We didn't seem to have an answer defensively to get back and really force their offense into five-on-five situations,'' Ross said.
Tennessee beat the Lady Gators 88-64 earlier this season in Gainesville, Fla., and has now won eight straight over Florida.
Florida trailed by 11 just 41/2 minutes in the game but used a 15-4 run to tie it. McCain's 3 with 9:45 left tied it at 20.
Tennessee responded with a 15-2 run over the next three minutes to take a 13-point lead. The Lady Vols ran the floor hard and worked together in the spurt.
April McDivitt started it with a 3 and then a nice bounce pass to Moore on the break for another basket.
Robinson got the ball down low but was double-teamed. She bounced the ball back to Snow standing alone under the basket for two more points.
Arkansas 67, No. 8 Vanderbilt 57: At Fayetteville, Ark., Arkansas proved that it's win over a ranked team last weekend wasn't a fluke.
Shameka Christon scored 21 points to lead the Razorbacks to victory.
The win marks the first time in Arkansas' 26-year history that it has beaten two ranked teams back-to-back. The Lady Razorbacks (12-8, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) are coming off a 74-46 victory over then-No. 7 South Carolina on Sunday.
''We knew Vandy was a better team, but we came out and played harder than them,'' Christon said. ''We made the plays down the stretch and it made the difference in our energy and enthusiasm.''
Dana Cherry scored 18 for Arkansas, and Amy Wright and India Lewis added 10 apiece.
Arkansas led 56-55 with 3:33 left in the game before going on an 11-0 run to take control.
The Lady Razorbacks forced 23 turnovers, 14 in the first half. Arkansas scored 18 points off turnovers while Vanderbilt (19-5, 5-3) scored only nine.
''They were physical and we didn't react very well to it,'' Vanderbilt coach Jim Foster said. ''Turning the ball over that many times didn't help and we didn't keep our head about us.''
Chantelle Anderson led the Commodores with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Ashley McElhiney added 12 points.
Mississippi 63, No. 25 Auburn 53: At Auburn, Ala., Carletta Brown scored 15 points to lead Mississippi.
Brown also made three 3-pointers and had seven assists for Mississippi (10-11, 2-6 Southeastern Conference). Von Kirk scored 12 points and Saundra Jackson added 11 for the Rebels.
Le'Coe Willingham had 14 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Tigers (14-7, 2-6), who lost for the fourth time in five games.
The Rebels outrebounded the Tigers 45-37.

We can sometimes forget how much courage it takes for people in some other countries to be openly atheist and fight superstition. The murder of Narendra Dabholkar in India last month is a case in point. A physician by training, he was a simple man who tried to free Indians from the clutches of charlatans and god-men that plague that part of the world. He was gunned down by people on motorbikes as he walked along the road.
The Economist obituary had a nice appreciation of his life.
He was a slight and courteous man, with unfashionable spectacles, in simple khadi shirt, slippers and cotton trousers: no one to notice on the street. Yet over three decades, ever since he had decided to switch his work from curing bodies to curing deluded minds, he had become famous. The organisation he had founded in 1989, the Committee for Eradication of Blind Faith (MANS in its Marathi acronym), had 180 branches in the state. In village after village he and his activists would confront the babas, sadhus and other "godmen" who preyed on the poor and simple, challenging their claims and reporting them to the police. He investigated and demystified cases of black magic and possession by ghosts; he campaigned against animal sacrifice, the prodigious waste of drinking water and good food during religious festivities, and the pollution of local rivers during Ganesha's birthday festival by the immersion of thousands of idols made of plaster of Paris.
In Kolhapur Dr Dabholkar exposed "Cowfly Baba", who gave false comfort to people for ten rupees a time by pretending to remove dirt and cowflies from their ears with a glass tube. He poured public scorn on Sathya Sai Baba, a millionaire godman who appeared to make holy ash, gold chains and Swiss watches appear from thin air. Dr Dabholkar also offered 21 lakh rupees (about $33,000) to any sorcerer who, under strict scientific conditions, could stay on fire for a minute without moving, duplicate a currency note, grow a severed limb two centimetres by the application of powder, or turn water into petrol. The sum remains unclaimed.
Needless to say, this debunking of nonsense caused outrage among people who either benefit from the gullibility of others or are so deluded that they think that they must defend the honor of their gods.
Dabholkar would marvel at the contradictions in India, a very modern country that was also prone to such superstitions
The only inexplicable thing, he would say (all other "inexplicable" things being rationally explained by natural laws) was that India in the 21st century was still so full of superstition. It launched its own satellites, but before a launch the gods would be invoked with flowers and sandalwood paste; its IT was the envy of the world, but even middle-class people would not start a new project on "inauspicious" Saturdays. The cult of the individual was gathering pace, but people still believed that their fates were in the hands of the gods, not themselves. They clung blindly to karma, which was a law for "sheep" and "slaves".
But his critique is not limited to India. In the US, the idea of auspicious times and astrology may not be so popular but we have our own ludicrous beliefs that contradict science. We too have our 'god-men' except that we call them evangelists and faith healers. Our government institutions having opening prayers. At least one Supreme Court justice believes in the devil. And though they may not call it karma, we too have many people believing that their fate is in their god's hands and that there is some supernatural dispenser of justice.
Narendra Dabholkar was an exemplary person. We need more like him all over the world.

Defender Alan Tate of English Premier League club Swansea broke his leg in what was described as a "bizarre golfing accident."
Tate was a passenger in a golf cart that lost control on Sunday afternoon on a course in Swansea. The 28-year-old Tate was taken to hospital and diagnosed with a broken tibia of his left leg, which Swansea describes as a "bitter blow."
The co-captain is one of only three current Swansea players who have played in all four divisions with the south Wales club that was promoted to the top flight in May.

Top 10 FA Cup semi-finals (part two)
City have a solid record in FA Cup semi-finals and haven't lost at this stage for 59 years – here's the second installment of our two-part list…
5: March 27, 1926: City 3 Manchester United 0
City's second FA Cup semi-final in three years and a chance for a first appearance at Wembley was the carrot at a packed Bramall Lane for a Manchester derby with a difference. It was barely two months since the Blues had won 6-1 at Old Trafford, so confidence was high in David Ashworth's side – and it showed as they brushed the Reds aside with two goals from Tommy Browell and another from Frank Roberts in a comprehensive 3-0 win. That set up another final with Bolton – though this time the Wanderers would get their revenge…
4: March 17, 1934: City 6 Aston Villa 1 (Leeds Road)
City returned to Leeds Road in 1933 for their third successive FA Cup semi-final and a second in succession at Huddersfield Town's home. There was no indication of the goal feast ahead with the two league meetings producing just one goal between the clubs – and tend days earlier the Blues had left Villa Park with a hard-fought 0-0 draw. So the events of the day left the City fans ecstatic and the Villa fans stunned as four goals from Fred Tilson and strikes from Alec Herd and Ernie Toseland completed a memorable 6-1 victory. There'd be no stopping City this time and they went on to lift the FA Cup for only the second time by beating Portsmouth 2-1 in the final.
3: March 22, 1969: Everton 0, City 1 (Villa Park)
With the Blues relinquishing their league title without so much as a whimper, the FA Cup suddenly became Joe Mercer's only hope of a trophy in what had been a disappointing season. In their way was a dogged Everton team full of talent and clear favourites for the final.
But City hadn't become a poor team overnight with almost the same squad who had won the league the year before and it was that class that just edged a thrilling semi, won by Tommy Booth in the last minute of normal time to send the Blues to Wembley where they would beat Leicester City 1-0.
2: April 11, 1981: Ipswich Town 0, City 1 (Villa Park)
Though this wasn't perhaps City's greatest semi-final display, the fact that John Bond had somehow steered a side who had been bottom of the league with no wins in their opening 12 games, to an FA Cup final makes this game stand out slightly above all the others. Having signed Gerry Gow, Tommy Hutchison and Bobby McDonald, the Blues transformed into the form team of the First Division, but still went into this game against Bobby Robson's title-chasing Ipswich as underdogs. There were no goals in normal time and the match went into extra time. Then, in the 100th minute of the 100th year of FA Cup football, Paul Power stepped up to curl a delightful free-kick past Paul Cooper to send the City fans wild and the club to Wembley to face Tottenham.
1: April 16 2011: Man United 0 City 1 (Wembley Stadium)
The first Manchester derby to be staged at Wembley was a memorable occasion for all City fans with the Blues edging a close game 1-0. City survived a number of early scares and were under the cosh for the first-half hour before gradually working their way into the game.
Then, ten minutes after the break and following a mistake Michael Carrick error, Yaya Toure picked up the ball 30 yards out, burst past two challenges into the box and fired through the legs of Edwin van der Sar for what turned out to be the only goal of a tense game. United were later reduced to ten men when Paul Scholes was shown a red card for a dangerous tackle on Pablo Zabaleta and the Blues ended up deserved winners.

WASHINGTON — NASA's planet-hunting telescope has discovered two planets that seem like ideal places for some sort of life to flourish. They are just the right size and in just the right place near their star.
The distant duo are the best candidates for habitable planets that astronomers have found so far, said William Borucki, the chief scientist for NASA's Kepler telescope.
The discoveries, published online Thursday in the journal Science, mark a milestone in the search for planets where life could exist.Comment on this story
The new discoveries, called Kepler-62-e and Kepler-62-f, are just right. And they are fraternal twins. They circle the same star, an orange dwarf, and are next to each other — closer together than Earth and Mars.
The planets are slightly wider than Earth, but not too big. Kepler-62-e is like a Hawaiian world and Kepler-62-f is a bit nippy, more Alaskan, Borucki said.
The planets circle a star that is 7 billion years old — about 2.5 billion years older than our sun.
"If there's life at all on those planets, it must be very advanced," said Borucki.

Is there a benefit to implementing Validator as opposed to just creating an onBindAndValidate method in the FormController?
Announcement Announcement Module
No announcement yet.
onBindAndValidate vs Validator Page Title Module
Move Remove Collapse
Conversation Detail Module
new posts
Personally, I like to put all of my validation code into separate validator classes. Validation code is potentially reusable, and having it in a separate class allows me to reuse it if needed. If the validation depends on resources that are not otherwise needed in the controller then your application and/or servlet context will be more intuitive and self documenting if you wire such dependencies into a separate validator object rather than wiring them all into the controller.
Now onto a more subjective opinion. I think validation is a separate concern from the role of the controller. Therefore, your application will tend to be cleaner if you separate all validation logic into a separate class and let the controller just worry about controlling--it's hard enough to keep business logic out of the controller without having validation logic in there too. The tendency, especially for those new to MVC, is to write monolithic controllers containing lots of business logic. This really bites later when it's time to refactor the app (e.g. to move to a different MVC package or data persistence technology).
On the other hand, if your validation logic is very simple onBindAndValidate may be a better way to go so you don't end up with a lot of trivial classes cluttering up your object space.

Facebook maintains its position as the most popular social network in Norway, with 77 percent of the country's population – about 3.1 million users – active on the platform, reveals new data from Ipsos MMI.
Conversely, less than one in four Norwegians use Twitter, and just 28 percent of those are active on Twitter each day.
Indeed, Google+ (30 percent), Snapchat (28 percent) and even – gasp – LinkedIn (26 percent) are all more popular than Twitter in Norway.
Twitter is used more frequently amongst its users day-to-day than those on Google+ or LinkedIn, but once again Facebook is the clear leader in this metric, with Snapchat and Instagram both some distance behind.

As police search for the killer of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei, they are looking at other cases in the region, including a pair of unsolved attacks on two women in the same part of Delta.
While members of the police department in the community of Delta, about 20 kilometres southwest of Vancouver, have yet to link the two unsolved cases to the homicide, they say they are keeping an open mind about the possibility that all of the cases may be linked.
"We're not in a position to discount any possibility at this point," Sergeant Sharlene Brooks of the Delta Police force said in an interview Tuesday.
"We are reviewing our files, and that is part of our investigation."
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the police chief has said he sees no links between the two attacks and the death of Ms. Szendrei, but that police have said they are not ruling anything out.
Ms. Szendrei, found at about 1:30 p.m. in Delta's Mackie Park, died early Sunday in hospital with her family present. Police have said they do not know if the attack on Ms. Szendrei, which has stunned residents of Delta, was random or targeted.
No cause of death has been released in the case.
They have said they are looking for a man, aged 16 to 25, seen in the area about 15 minutes before Ms. Szendrei was found because they believe he may have information helpful to the case.
Both of the previous attacks remain unsolved.
On May 24 just before midnight, a woman walking on a pathway heard someone behind her and was struck with an unknown object. The victim made her way home and called police. There was no description of the attacker.
On June 7, in the afternoon, a woman was jogging when she heard "heavy footsteps" approaching from behind and she was struck on the head with an unknown object. She saw a man running in the opposite direction after the attack, which left her with what a police release described as a "minor" physical injury.
Sgt. Brooks noted that Delta police are not limiting their review to cases in Delta.
"We're reviewing files both in our jurisdiction and outside our jurisdiction to see if there are any ongoing investigations that may be similar in nature," she said.
One of those is the case of Wendy Ladner-Beaudry, who was slain in April, 2009, while jogging in Pacific Spirit Park near the University of British Columbia.
Officials said Tuesday they have been mindful of the similarities in the death of Ms. Szendrei and 53-year-old Ms. Ladner-Beaudry, but see nothing, so far, to link the two cases.
Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team handling the case, said IHIT investigators working on the Ladner-Beaudry case have spoken with Delta detectives regarding the case of Ms. Szendrei.
IHIT deals with homicides throughout the region, but does not cover Delta, which has its own homicide unit as part of its police force.
Both sides are aware of the general similarities, including female victims being attacked in parks in the day.
"However, there's nothing to suggest, at this time, that the two instances are linked other than those general similarities," he said.
IHIT members on the Ladner-Beaudry case released a YouTube video months ago that generated about 7,500 hits, leading to some tips that police are following up. They are also working through a list of 270 persons of interest - individuals, including known offenders and others, who fit profiles developed by specialists.

A four-carat diamond ring lost at the Newark Airport security checkpoint was returned to its owner 10 days and an international trip later after a passenger spotted it on the floor, authorities said.
Navnett Guleria, of Pennington, N.J., had removed her bracelet, watch and ring to go through the checkpoint at Newark on Feb. 14 as she and her husband left for an overseas flight.
When she opened her purse on the plane to put the ring back on, the 25th anniversary gift from her husband wasn't on the bracelet where she had hooked it, authorities said.
A passenger behind her in line at the security gate had turned it in to Transportation Security Administration Officer Meredith Grillos, who was staffing the checkpoint podium at the time, according to a release from the TSA.
"It was beautiful," Grillos said. "I know my diamonds, and I'm sure the woman was very distraught."
Grillos handed it to the TSA Lost and Found, and when Guleria and her husband returned to the U.S., they contacted the airport Lost and Found.
She got it back 10 days after it was lost.

Once there was a French poodle. It lived in an apartment. Upstairs, in the same building, lived a mutt. The County of Los Angeles asked the woman who owned the poodle to serve on a jury. That would be impossible, she said, because "the mutt upstairs would break in and the poodle would have a litter of mutt puppies."
Judy Rivituso likes to tell that story. She calls it "classic." Rivituso is the jury assignment supervisor for Los Angeles County, so a lot of excuses come her way.
Outlandish Excuses
Over the years, she and others with similar jobs hear volumes worth of amazing stories from people trying to avoid juries. Some succeed, most do not. But no records are kept of which outlandish excuses serve their purposes.
Occasionally a jury dodger gets so tense he mixes up his words, as in the case recounted by Tom Munsterman, director of the Center for Jury Studies in Williamsburg, Va.:

Footage emerges of a young Andres Iniesta saying he dreams of playing for Real Madrid
As Andres Iniesta heads to the FIFA Ballon D'Or gala as the rank outsider to pip Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, video of the Barcelona midfielder has emerged where he proclaims he dreams of playing for Real Madrid.
We join little Andres at La Masia as he trains to join the Barcelona first team and surprisingly he announces he dreams of playing for Real Madrid.
As it turns out, Iniesta has gone on to produce some of his best performances for Barcelona against Real Madrid and is unlikely to still be wishing for a move to the Bernabeu.

Earth has been conquered by a powerful alien race. Shane, a profoundly gifted human linguist, has spent his life learning the aliens' language - and learning it so well that his interstellar masters, old hands at enslaving planets, come to value him as a servant.
But Shane has a terrible secret. One day, in a rebellious moment, he invented the Pilgrim, a mysterious figure who incites rebellion all over Earth and vanishes unseen, leaving a distinctive graffiti tag behind him.
Now the human underground is preparing to rebel. Shane knows exactly how hopeless their rebellion will be. And he knows just as well that he will be unable to keep himself from taking part.
