Thursday, February 9, 2006
On Tuesday, couples everywhere will sip champagne, nibble chocolates, exchange gifts and presumably find plenty of other ways to celebrate the splendors of human intimacy.
But for couples who share tiny spaces, every moment presents an opportunity to snuggle up with the one you love. When you live in an apartment the size of a dorm room, everything -- making dinner, doing dishes, folding laundry, paying bills -- takes on a certain intimacy, whether you want it to or not.
The "tour" of Jennifer and Jeremy Haile's apartment lasts only as long as it takes a visitor to glance from left to right about 45 degrees. For the past four years, since returning from a Peace Corps stint overseas, the couple has called a 416-square-foot Georgetown studio home.
Their bed -- which is also one of their two couches -- is a futon, hard up against the front door. Books, papers, vitamins and foodstuffs share shelf space in one corner. The computer doubles as an entertainment center; they watch DVDs on it and store all of their music on its hard drive. Their refrigerator and stove look like full-size versions that have been shrunk to about 65 percent by some sort of kitchen-appliance copying machine.
Wait: It gets better. Jeremy Haile is currently a first-year law student at George Washington University and does most of his studying at home. And because first-year law students study more or less around the clock, peace and quiet are more valuable to him right now than anything.
During exams, he says, "I was pulling close to 20-hour days. But Jen has the patience of Job. She would use headphones [to watch TV or listen to music]; she prepared all of my meals, and I'd go in my little corner and study. And somehow it worked."
The Hailes are no strangers to domestic deprivation. As Peace Corps volunteers, they lived in what they refer to as a "Soviet-style" apartment in Armenia, where it was so cold that any water left in the bathtub would freeze over. "To go into the kitchen, you had to dress like you were going outside," Jennifer says.
For two years they slept in a twin bed, with only a small kerosene heater -- and each other -- to warm them. "Now, when we go to a hotel and there's a king-size bed, we sleep together at the very edge of it," she says. "We don't really know how to sleep apart."
Living in comically cramped quarters may be easier when you're madly in love with your roommate, the Hailes say, but that doesn't necessarily make it easy . Every move they make reflects a negotiation of sorts.
"Jeremy was losing his eyesight during his first semester," says Jennifer, an events coordinator for National Public Radio. "He thought he was going to have to get glasses. The doctor told him: 'You have to stop reading in such small amounts of light.' What was happening was that I would go to bed at 10:30 or so, and he would turn on this tiny little lamp" to stay up reading until 1:00 a.m. or later. "So now I have to go to bed with the lights on, which is unfortunate." Her husband recently bought her a sleeping mask. (It helps.)
"The three Cs -- communication, commitment and compromise -- will get you through almost any sort of conflict," says Regina Leeds, a Los Angeles-based professional organizer and author of the 2003 book "Sharing a Place Without Losing Your Space: A Couple's Guide to Blending Homes, Lives, and Clutter" (Alpha Books). In her work with cohabiting couples, she has learned that one of the most frequent sources of disagreement is over where to put, and indeed whether to keep, the innumerable things that accrue over the course of their lives.
"People usually bring too much stuff with them," says Leeds. "And then they make assumptions about that stuff. I'll presume that you're going to love my mother's pink china -- and that this is what we will be using on the holidays. And I don't talk to you about it, because, well, surely, if you love me, you can see how beautiful this is. You, on the other hand, are presuming that I see how beautiful your mother's beige china is."
Both presumptions are wrong, she suggests. "Especially in a small space, you need to divest yourself of everything that is not critical. That can mean tossing things. But it can also mean getting a storage space, or better yet, asking Mom and Dad if you can store things in their garage, or in your old room."
That idea worked for Brad Koons. When his parents moved from Arizona to a nearby suburb in Maryland, he persuaded them to let him keep his car and his copious outdoor gear at their house, rather than at the minuscule English basement he and his wife, Cynthia, share near Dupont Circle. Though it's a one-bedroom, their apartment appears to be smaller than the Hailes' studio. (They don't know how many square feet it is, and have never asked. The figure wasn't disclosed in the original "for lease" listing. Imagine that.)
But the Koonses -- he's a lawyer, she just received her graduate degree -- aren't complaining. "We think of the size of the apartment as the price of getting to have a completely walkable lifestyle," Cynthia says. "We really appreciate that we can walk to anything we need in the neighborhood. Brad can walk to work, and I can walk to school."
The Koonses eat on their futon, use their miniature dishwasher as a cabinet and keep pots and pans "under the sink, where normal people keep their cleansers," she says. Their bedroom can barely contain their full-size bed, much less the open shelving where they store clothes, books and CDs. As a quirky symbol of the couple's commitment to streamlining their lives, a unicycle leans against a wall in the vestibule; a bicycle wouldn't fit.
But their lifestyle may actually be good for their marriage. Cynthia says that living in a shoebox "encourages more communication. You're both sitting right there. There's no escape. If you have an argument, you're just going to have to talk through it and get over it. Every once in a while, one of us will go into the bedroom and shut the door, if we feel like we need some time alone. But for the most part, it forces us to battle it out until there's peace."
So far, they've managed to avoid the deadly third rail of living together in a tiny space: passive-aggressive "housecleaning" that results in the unauthorized removal of another's stuff.
The Hailes, alas, were not so lucky.
"My mom sent me a box with about $125 worth of cosmetics and vitamins in it," Jennifer says. "I was waiting to start my new beauty regimen until I finished my old supply. Well, because I hadn't opened the clearly marked box in four months, Jeremy decided that I must not want it badly. He trashed it and didn't tell me."
That, as it turns out, was the wrong thing to do.
"It was one of the rare moments of shouting at our place," she says. "I took the opportunity to remind him of everything he's thrown away without my permission. I insisted that he hand-deliver my mom a check, and admit -- and apologize for -- his disregard for property. But finally I caved, and have been forced to lie to my mom for months about the wonders of Susan Lucci's skin-care therapy."
Now that's true love, people.

Why is Katrina Kaif upset with Salman Khan?
The video which has gone viral about Salman Khan addressing Katrina Kaif as a would-be Kapoor and her missed chance to be a Khan has upset Kat a great deal.
Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan
Though buzz is that her rumoured beau Ranbir Kapoor laughed it off, Kat didn't take it sportingly. Apparently, Sallu's sis Arpita tried to calm her down but Katrina was in no mood to listen. She still can't get over the fact that Sallu did this to her publicly.

Franchise Killers: Blade: Trinity
The original Blade came along at a time when comic book movies were deemed "too risky". The year before, a hat trick of comic-based failure consisting of Batman and Robin, Steel and Spawn all struck out at the box office. Marvel movies weren't cool yet, so the first Blade was sold as a low-budget vampire movie rather than the adaptation of a comic book. Blade was a decent enough hit to generate two sequels and a TV series. Writer-director David Goyer clearly had plans to carry on the Blade franchise. In fact he seemed to be using the third Blade movie to set up a series of spin-offs. But instead, Blade: Trinity killed the series and ended up with everyone embroiled in a bitter lawsuit.
The story of Blade: Trinity and in many ways the entire Blade series starts with Goyer. Goyer is a comic book geek through and through. After the Blade movies, he went on to write most of the movies based on DC Comics characters Batman and Superman. But he started off writing action movies like the Jean-Claude Van Damme flick, Death Warrant and the Van Damme-less sequel to a Van Damme flick, Kickboxer 2. At the time, a Blade movie had been in development for a while. New Line didn't really know what to do with it, so they were thinking of doing a spoof. It was Goyer who convinced them to take the material seriously.
Goyer's horror-action hybrid attracted Wesley Snipes to star and Stephen Norrington to direct. While Blade didn't break any box office records, it did well enough that a sequel was released four years later. Norrington declined the opportunity to direct the sequel, so Guillermo del Toro was brought on board. Like the first film, Blade II was a modest hit despite mixed reviews. It performed well enough for New Line to greenlight a third film in the series.
When neither Norrington nor del Toro would agree to direct the third film, the door was opened for Goyer to step into the director's chair. Goyer had made his directorial debut two years earlier with the drama Zig Zag which costarred Snipes. So it would seem that going into Blade: Trinity, Snipes and Goyer had a decent working relationship. But whatever relationship they had worked out on their previous collaborations would come crashing down while making the final Blade movie.
What caused their relationship to sour was a power struggle. Snipes was a producer on all three Blade movies and as far as he was concerned, that made him the boss. Or at least a boss. He was used to calling the shots on the Blade films. Goyer, on the other hand, was just the screenwriter on the previous films. He had less influence over the final product than the star or the directors. But for Blade: Trinity, he was the writer and the director not to mention getting a producer credit.
Consolidating the power of multiple positions, Goyer was in the driver's seat this time. Originally, Goyer wanted to use his authority to set Blade III in a vampire apocalypse. He had tried to sell New Line on this premise for Blade II as well. But for budgetary reasons, New Line passed. Instead, Goyer came up with the idea of having Blade fight the most famous vampire of them all, Dracula. That may sound cheesy, but it does stay true to the character's comic book roots. Blade made his first appearance in The Tomb of Dracula in 1973.
In the comic books, Blade was not a vampire. Not even a half vampire. He was a vampire slayer who worked with a group called the Nightstalkers. Hannibal King, a private detective who worked with the Nightstalkers, was actually the one with vampiric tendencies. Goyer decided to include a version of the Nightstalkers in Blade: Trinity much to Snipes' dismay.
The movie version of Hannibal King was played by box office poison, Ryan Reynolds. The Hannibal King of Blade: Trinity is a former vampire so as not to step on Blade's toes too much. Goyer also introduced the character of Abigail Whistler who was played by box office poison, Jessica Biel. The movie's casting director was really tempting fate casting those two in the same movie! Talk about a movie that was doomed to fail right from the start.
When Snipes realized he would be sharing the screen with sidekicks, he did not take the news well. Kris Kristofferson, who played Balde's sidekick in the first two movies wasn't happy about it either. But, Snipes was really pissed. He began acting erratically on the set. Snipes spent as much time as possible in his trailer and reportedly would only answer to the name "Blade". Eventually, he had a showdown with Goyer and the director told his star that if he was unhappy, he should quit. That didn't go over well.
On the director's commentary for the movie, Goyer says that in one scene, they had to use CGI to make it look like Snipes opened his eyes because the actor refused to follow direction and do it himself. It's the Hollywood equivalent of taking your ball and going home without breaking your contract.
But before we come down too hard on Snipes, let's not forget that Goyer wrote and directed this turd of a movie. With Snipes marginalized, Blade: Trinity was Goyer's baby. And it was not something to be proud of. The previous Blade movies, were far from critical darlings. But if you enjoyed action-horror hybrids, they were a cut above other movies in the genre. Blade: Trinity, was several cuts below that. Unless you are one of the two people who thinks Ryan Reynolds is the funniest man alive (Ryan Reynolds being the other one), then Blade III is almost unwatchable.
When the movie flopped, it killed interest in future Blade movies. Snipes sued New Line and Goyer claiming that he wasn't paid the full amount of his salary and that his involvement in the movie had been reduced to accommodate Reynolds and Biel. There was speculation that Goyer was interested in spinning off a Nightstalkers series that would free him from having to continue working with Snipes. But the failure of Blade: Trinity killed that possibility as well.
It turns out Snipes had bigger worries than the future of his franchise. Two year later, the actor was charged with tax evasion. He ended up serving a three year prison sentence. Goyer went on to write every non-Marvel superhero movie, but his directing career took a major hit. Biel and Reynolds continued to struggle with their status as box office poison. Reynolds seemed like he might break out a couple of times, but nothing came of it. There was a short-lived Blade TV show on Spike TV, but the franchise has remained mostly dormant since then.
Of course with the Marvel resurgence, there has been talk of resurrecting Blade. Snipes very publically announced that he had been in talks with Marvel. Marvel seems content to go in a different direction if and when they chose to revisit the character.
Let's break this down:
How many movies in the series? 3
How many of them were good? Critics will disagree with me, but I say 2
Health of the franchise before it died? Never a massive franchise, but healthy in relation to budget
Likelihood of a reboot? If Marvel can make a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, you have to think they will find a place for Blade somewhere. Maybe Netflix.
Any redeeming value? Patton Oswald has some great stories about Snipes' dickish behavior.

I do know that there are a small number of people who will watch it for the Jessica Biel fanservice. 🙂
Why is Jessica Biel considered box office poison? I have seen a few of her films and enjoyed them. Nice write up. Enjoy the website.
9 Terrible Franchise Killing Movies
Blade: Trinity
Blade kick-started the revival of the comic book film and was a fun, fresh action movie that had perfect casting with Wesley Snipes. The sequel was even better and saw Guillermo Del Toro unleash his freakish imagination on the series.
The third movie should have been more of the same, but it somehow went hideously wrong during production. Wesley Snipes wasn't happy with the story or the choice of director – or the fact Blade wasn't going to get a long-promised sex scene – so he spent most of the movie ignoring direction, being a jerk to the cast or smoking weed in his trailer.
His visible lack of effort kills the movie outright, and there's only so many quips a young Ryan Reynolds can give to mask it. Had the movie been a hit there were plans to spin The Nightstalkers off for their own movie – which was another bone of contention for Snipes – but the muted response to Trinity killed that movie too.
The movie was a weak ending for the series, and at this stage, a blood-soaked big screen revival is far from confirmed, despite some pretty pertinent rumors.
Disappointing movie sequels that killed franchises
Blade: Trinity
The Blade franchise had years of comic stories to draw from, Wesley Snipes in his prime, and plenty of kung fu vampire action. All the ingredients were there to keep the sequels coming after 2004's Blade: Trinity, in other words. But this third installment's middling reviews and disappointing grosses were only part of an epic collapse that started unraveling while the cameras were still rolling. Snipes—who in addition to starring in the lead role was also a Blade producer—reportedly engaged in all sorts of eccentric behavior behind the scenes, like trying to strangle the director, among other things. He was so unhappy after Trinity's release that he ended up suing the studio. In the years since Trinity flopped, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has helped make superheros big business, but Blade, a Marvel character, has remained on the sidelines.
10 Awesome Movies With Disappointing Sequels
Let's not underestimate the significance of the first Blade movie: after years of comic book duds (Steel, Barb Wire, Batman & Robin) here was a movie that did everything right and more importantly was incredibly successful. It knocked Saving Private Ryan off the #1 slot on its opening weekend, which was enough to convince to convince Fox to pull the trigger on an X-Men movie, and the rest is history.
Guillermo Del Toro's Blade II isn't as impressive and lacks the freshness of the original, with villains that start behaving in familiar ways when they begin draining Blade's blood. Rather than attempt to expand the universe, the movie brings throws in more gunfights and explosions.
Then there's Blade: Trinity, and talk about going from a scream to a whimper. It's difficult to say which is more half-hearted: the script, the performances or David Goyer's direction. It's basically a trailer for the short-lived Blade: The Series, but as an attempt at "franchicide", it works just fine.
In fact, the movie was so lame that not long after its release, Wesley Snipes went to jail. They said it was for tax evasion, but we know better.
9 Abandoned Sequel Plots That Sound Better Than The Movies We Got
The Post Apocalyptic Blade: Trinity
Blade – alongside the original X-Men – kicked off the comic book movie renaissance. The idea was fresh, the action scenes great and Wesley Snipes was born to play the character. Blade II by Guillermo Del Toro was even better, so Blade: Trinity should be the best of the lot, right?
Wrong. So very wrong.
Blade screenwriter David Goyer took over directing duties and bless his heart he's just no good. He wasn't helped by Snipes, who was a massive pain in the a** during production; he even strangled Goyer during an argument. Snipes was apparently furious the original concept was abandoned, which would have been a Mad Max style adventure.
In this version, vampires had taken over and essentially turned the human race into cattle, with Blade being the lone warrior still trying to save it. New Line thought the concept was too pricey and bleak, so they offered Goyer the director's chair on condition he made something cheaper.
So he tossed together a script with Blade fighting Dracula and made a movie no one liked; especially the fanbase.


text: Hi, Recently I've started facing a problem on my Desire. Sometimes it acts like the network is down, and the signal bar shows a cross. At that time when I tried another sim card, the network was working fine. Then after a while my phone starts showing network with the original sim. But it won't connect to the internet. It simply won't connect, although I am toggling the mobile data connection tick mark. Right now the network has gone again, and I'm trying to get connected to it through either Automatic registration or manually selecting from the list of network providers. But I get the message "unable to connect to this network at this time"... Please help me guys... Could it be a problem with my hardware because it's an on and off problem? I bought the phone from a different country from where I'm living right now, so it would be difficult to get warranty service. What do I do?

Montgomery County may target Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in tax lawsuit
Montgomery County is weighing court action against Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for refusing to pay certain real estate taxes from which the mortgage giants assert they are exempt.
The county council will vote Tuesday on a request from County Attorney Marc Hansen to appoint Crongeyer Law Firm PC and Bird Law Group PC, both of Atlanta, and Greenberg & Bederman LLP, of the Washington area, to represent the county as special counsel in the collection of transfer and recordation taxes that both Fannie and Freddie have declined to pay.
Crongeyer and Bird Law are currently representing Montgomery County in its case against online hotel brokers, such as Travelocity and Expedia, in an effort to recover unpaid transient occupancy taxes.
It is unclear how much Montgomery County thinks it is owed, but Crongeyer has agreed to take the Fannie and Freddie case on a contingency basis, meaning, it will only collect if it recovers tax revenues. The graduated contingency fee will range from 25 percent to 33 percent.
"I find this fee proposal fair and reasonable," Hansen wrote in a Nov. 13 memo to Council President Roger Berliner.
With its anticipated vote, Montgomery County will join a growing list of jurisdictions across the U.S. to target Fannie and Freddie with lawsuits over unpaid taxes.
In March, Oakland County, Mich., won its suit against both, a precedent that spurred other localities from Illinois to South Carolina to file. The Michigan case is under appeal.
The cases all stem from the sale of foreclosed homes — the homes Fannie and Freddie seized during the housing crisis. There are thousands of such instances across the country.
Fannie and Freddie claim they are exempt from local excise taxes because they are federal agencies operating under federal statute. The lawsuits all charge the opposite, that Fannie and Freddie are federally chartered private corporations that owe taxes like any other private seller.
Jurisdictions may have gained confidence from the Michigan ruling — Hansen cites that decision in his letter to Berliner — but other cases suggest this will not be an easy victory for Montgomery County.
In August, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed a lawsuit brought by Robert Hager and Andrew Ludel against Fannie and Freddie. Hager and Ludel claimed that both had falsely claimed to be exempt from the District's recordation tax when filing documents with the D.C. Recorder of Deeds.
"Defendants argue for dismissal on an array of grounds," U.S. District Judge John Bates wrote in his decision. "The Court need reach only one: whether the Enterprises are in fact exempt from the recordation tax. Because the Court concludes that they are exempt, plaintiffs' action must fail."
Bates concluded that the language in federal law exempting Fannie and Freddie from state taxes is "sweeping and unambiguous." The recordation tax is "undoubtedly a form of taxation," he wrote. That should be "the end of the matter."
Either way, it'll be a while before we learn where a Maryland judge stands.

Spain's royalty forced to cut back
THE Spanish monarchy is to cut its budget for the first time in history as part of nationwide austerity measures that will see it become the cheapest royal household in Europe.
The king and queen will be tightening their belts alongside the rest of the nation as Spain struggles to reduce a bloated budget deficit and emerge from nearly two years of recession.
The Zarzuela Palace announced yesterday that the household budget for 2011 would be significantly reduced from this year but the exact figures would not be unveiled until later this month when they would be presented to parliament for approval.
Reports suggested that the budget could be slashed by up to 9pc, reducing funds available to the king by as much as €800,000, making him the least expensive monarch in Europe.
This year the budget was frozen at the 2009 level of €8.9m, a figure well below that of Britain's royal family, which cost the taxpayer £38.2m (€46m) in the last financial year.
A comparative study of expenditure by Europe's constitutional monarchies puts the Windsors at the top of the list.
With the proposed cuts, Spain's royal family would have a budget of €8.2m -- less than the Luxembourg monarchy, which last year spent €8.6m.
This August, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia shortened their annual holiday at their summer palace on Majorca, spent less time sailing on the royal yacht Fortuna, and entertained fewer guests.
Last year, Queen Sofia shocked royal watchers when she chose to fly with the low-cost airline Ryanair to visit her brother Constantine, the former King of Greece. The flight from the northern Spanish city of Santander to London Stansted cost only €16. (© Daily Telegraph, London)

VCE student elected to Kingston Council
An 18-year-old VCE student from Mentone Grammar has been elected as a councillor in the weekend local government elections.
David Eden says his appointment to the Kingston City Council, in Melbourne's south, proves that residents are willing to give him a go.
He is the youngest candidate to be elected.
Mr Eden says his priority in the coming months is to meet his constituents and find out what they want from the council and he does not plan to join a political party.
He says his victory proves to his critics that age is not a factor in getting the job done.
"At the end of the day the voters have spoken," he said.
"Getting the highest primary result by about 1,000 votes shows that the community is willing to give a young person a go."

ABB announces that it has won an order for the first gearless mill drive (GMD) system ever to be installed in an Indian manufacturing plant. The order was placed at the end of October, by the Indian cement manufacturer Lalitha Cement Ltd. (LCL), located in Hyderabad, the capital of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
The GMD system will power a 4.8MW, 15 feet cement mill at Lalitha Cement's greenfield plant, which will have a capacity of 1Mta of clinker. Once the mill is in operation, it will deliver a daily output of 3600t of cement.
As a variable speed drive, the GMD allows the mill to start smoothly, without any mechanical stress, and fulfills the customer's requirements for flexibility and adjustability of the process, enabling maximum control over the grinding process.
Furthermore, ABB gearless mill drive systems feature several benefits when compared with conventional geared drive systems: superior reliability, availability, extended life span and improved energy efficiency. ABB delivered the world's first gearless machine drive in 1969, which is still operating at the Ciment Lamberg-Lafarge cement plant in Le Havre, France. Published under Cement News

Bead Quilled Jewelry: New Beadwork Designs with Square Stitch
Creative Publishing international, Jan 4, 2011 - Crafts & Hobbies - 128 pages
Author Kathy King has developed a variation the decorative paper craft of quilling to create unique designs in beadwork. In bead quilling--instead of thin strips of paper--thin strips of beads, made with square stitch, are wrapped to form circles, scrolls, and squares. The holes of the beads, rather than the sides, are exposed, to become part of the distinctive design. The author works with simple and complex combinations of quilled beads to create a variety of jewelry designs. She also incorporates crystals, pearls, and decorative threads into the pieces to add interest and texture.

NEW YORK, United States — LOLA, a US-based tampon subscription service using 100 percent cotton tampons, has raised $7 million in a series A funding round led by Spark Capital.
With additional investment from venture capital firm Lerer Hippeau, early stage investment funds Brand Foundry, BoxGroup and BBG Ventures, as well as actress Lena Dunham, the startup plans to use the funding to develop and introduce new products, and continue to grow the brand's active customer base.
"I invested in Lola because I believe their product is removing stigma from women's reproductive processes while also giving us healthy, stylish options for taking care of period business," Dunham said in a statement.
"As an advocate for women's health and a lover of female-run businesses, this relationship is just a natural fit," she added.
Since launching two years ago, LOLA has raised a total of $11.2 million. Earlier this year the entrepreneurial startup closed a $3 million seed round led by Lerer Hippeau Ventures, whose portfolio includes Birchbox, Soylent and Hungry Root.
With a goal to provide women with an organic tampon and a brand that is completely transparent about the ingredients in its products, co-founders Alexandra Friedman and Jordana Kier were pioneers in a category that is now undergoing a transformation. Leveraging the renewed interest in feminine care, fellow startups including Cora, Flex and Love Wellness are just a few of the brands that since joined them on their crusade to disrupt the market.
"To us, the introduction of new feminine care startups to market further validates the importance of not only all-natural options but also knowing what's in your products and having all the information to make conscious decisions," co-founder Jordana Kier told TechCrunch earlier this year when asked about competition.
"We don't want to just make a splash with controversial period talk; we want to drive this cultural shift," she added.
With a view to continue as a brand that provides feminine health and hygiene products for women throughout their lives, earlier this month, LOLA introduced pads and liners to its portfolio of products. Following the latest round of funding Friedman hopes to be able
to deliver even more products and experiences to new and existing customers.
"Since launching LOLA over a year ago, we've seen a huge shift in the national dialogue around transparency in feminine care, as well as destigmatizing the topic of menstruation," explained Friedman.
LOLA's goal is to continue that conversation as the go-to brand for women's wellness and health care.

Nick Wey is having a privateer's dream season. He has finished on the podium not once, but twice, and finished in the top-five in the premier Supercross Class on numerous occasions. His first podium finish came at the muddy San Francisco round, and, like you would expect, people doubted that he could do it again. Now, three months later—proving all the doubters wrong—he has landed back on the podium at round 11 in Orlando.
At a track that many thought was sandy and rough, Wey climbed up from a poor start and passed Ivan Tedesco on the last lap to steal the final podium position. For Wey, he is happy about how his season is going, and if you ask him, he plans on taking the momentum of his great Supercross run into the outdoors, where he is hoping for some more podium pie. We caught-up with Wey this week while he was out supporting James Marshall at the ride day at Glen Helen, to see what's on his mind…
How do you feel the season has been going for you? Are you accomplishing everything that you wanted to?
The season is going pretty well, and I'm just trying to improve every week. I have quite a few top-fives and a couple podiums, so I'm just trying to keep getting better and consistently be up there with the top guys. I know I have some more work to do to get on Ricky and James' pace, for sure, but I just want to keep focusing on where I need to be.
Have you been doing anything differently this year than last? You have Randy Lawrence as a trainer, does that help a lot?
Yeah, for sure, Randy has been helping me a lot. He's always at the track and we've been really putting in hard motos, just trying to improve my speed. I think that has been a big factor, as well as the MDK/Motosport Outlet team; they have been behind me 100 percent this year. I really have the bike working well for myself.
After being on the podium in San Francisco some people said that it was a fluke because it was in the mud, but you proved them wrong in Orlando. How did it feel to be on the podium once again?
I wasn't too concerned with people thinking that I couldn't get on the podium again, because I knew that my speed was right there with everyone else's. I've just been bummed, because at some of the other races, like Daytona and a couple other ones, I could have been on the podium with some better starts, or a little bit smarter riding on my part. I was really eager to get back on the podium, because I feel like I kind of let it slip away a couple of times.
How did the race in Orlando go for you? It seemed like you had to work your way up to that podium finish?
Yeah, I was probably sixth or seventh off the start, and I raced with Byrne there for about half the race… did you see him? (Wey points to Ricky James on the muddy Glen Helen course) Ricky James is out there in the mud! That dude is gnarly! So yeah, then I got around Byrne, and I was able to start chipping away at Ivan (Tedesco) a little bit. I picked it up a little in the whoops, and I got a little more speed towards the end. With that, I was able to get Ivan for third. I was happy with getting third, especially with my start not being so sweet. I'm hoping to get a good start this weekend and keep the ball rolling.
Where exactly did you pass Tedesco at on the last lap?
I just kind of pulled up beside him on a triple and got him in the next turn, right at the last second.
In the past you haven't been know as a sand specialist; how were you able to do so well on the sandy course in Orlando?
It looked sandy, but it wasn't anything that we haven't seen before. I mean, it definitely was a different Supercross track than we have ever seen, but a lot of the jumps stayed hard and the whoops held up. With some of the ruts and everything, it was a pretty technical track.
With your podiums and numerous top-fives, have you been getting any more help from Honda?
This year we got bikes and parts from them, and we were puumped on that. I've just been continuing on the same deal with them. I don't have any secret parts on my bike, or anything like that, though.
Going into outdoors where do you see yourself finishing?
I feel like I am probably in the same position that I am in Supercross. We are going to start testing here during the two-week break coming up. Last year, with my knee injury I don't feel like I went into the outdoors very prepared, and I feel like I was playing catch up the entire time. Right now, I feel like my chances of getting on the podium in outdoors are really good too. I'm just going to keep focusing on what I'm doing, and do my best to get up there.

The regional grocery store chain Wegmans Food Markets, headquartered in Rochester, N.Y., has joined the American Chemistry Council's (ACC) Flexible Film Recycling Group (FFRG). The ACC says Wegmans is the first retailer to join the FFRG, a self-funded group within the ACC that is dedicated to boosting polyethylene (PE) film recovery efforts.
Wegmans, with more than 80 stores in the eastern United States, has collected used plastic bags for recycling since 1994. The company notes that its shoppers return about 1.5 million pounds of PE film every year. The grocery chain also collects an additional 1.5 million pounds of plastic stretch/shrink wrap from shipping pallets each year.
"From plastics recycling to greener store designs, Wegmans' commitment to sustainability is widely recognized," says Shari Jackson, director of FFRG. "As the first retail grocer member of the Flexible Film Recycling Group, the company will have valuable insights into programs to increase the recycling of plastic bags and wraps."
Jason Wadsworth, sustainability coordinator for Wegmans, says, "Recycling of plastic bags and film is one effective way to address environmental concerns. Because of our closed-loop system, bags and film that customers return for recycling at our stores are made into new Wegmans bags, not litter."
FFRG membership represents the PE film value chain, including resin suppliers, film product manufacturers, brand owners and recyclers. The recycling of postconsumer plastic bags, product wraps and commercial shrink film reached 1 billion pounds in 2011, a 55 percent increase since 2005, according to the most recent "National Postconsumer Plastic Bag & Film Recycling Report."
In addition to Wegmans, FFRG members include:
- Avangard Innovative;
- Berry Plastics;
- Chevron Phillips Chemical Co.;
- Dow;
- ExxonMobil Chemical Co.;
- KW Plastic Recycling;
- Mil-tek;
- Petoskey Plastics;
- Sealed Air Corp.;
- SC Johnson;
- Trex Co. Inc.;
- United Plastics Recycling;
- Verdeco Plastics Inc.; and
- Wisconsin Film & Bag.

Many girls spend their childhood sewing clothes for their dolls and even more decide in their teens to stand out by not wearing what everyone else is. How many of them however, end up being the designers of the most ethereal pieces of clothing with their own couture house in the heart of Athens and an atelier in New York City? Before you answer 'None' think again because I know one and her name is Victoria Kyriakides.
Having graduated from the Greek National College of Music it's no wonder her designs exuberate pure harmony with an architectural feel. Victoria has established her brand and become known for designing with clean lines following a minimalist approach, all while finding her own unique way of showing the beauty of the female figure through innovative forms and exquisite aesthetics. In this interview, Victoria Kyriakides talks on La Grèce J'aime about her inspiration and gives us a glimpse of what's behind her airy wedding gowns and unique low back drape dresses that give Grecian Style a new meaning.
Where does your inspiration come from?
I am inspired by nature; in all of it's forms. Good documentary films are a forever source of creativity. Nonetheless, exploring is what enthralls me the most. Dusty turquoise and white are my all time favourite colours.
What is it that differentiates your works and what makes your latest collection unique?
I believe it is an ongoing process of my personal fulfillment through designing my next form and line. It's the result of constant testing, rehearsing, draping and exploration of different unique materials from all over the world. Emphasis on detail is the main ingredient of the VKK-Victoria KyriaKides Brand.
SS14 Collection by VKK-Victoria KyriaKides
How do you share your time between Athens and New York and why did you choose the USA?
Last October I opened my atelier in NY in the heart of Manhattan so I share my time depending on my needs. New York has been a dream of mine ever since I started designing. My evolution there was always at the back of my mind but wanted it to happen at the right time. It came as a natural step after the successful presentation of my Fashion House last year in London.
[pullquote]I hear the heartbeat of my beloveds' soul. I feel the need for extroversion, of being treated and treating others in a noble way and do not like it when this does not happen. I taste simple everyday things. I smell nature after rain and feel like a kid. I see as far away as possible… [/pullquote]
How easy do you think it is for a Greek fashion designer to compete foreign fashion houses? Is there such a thing as Greek fashion for the international market?
I think Greek fashion is on the international map when it remains earnest and consistent. Greek designers need to be persistent with a very clear uninfluenced designing mind in order to compete with foreign designers. What is yours will be appreciated, what is no more than a reproduction or copy will be criticized. It may not be the norm anymore but there have always been and will always be people producing original ideas. That's exactly what is highly appreciated and takes a designer to the front of the international market.
How do they see the Greek fashion designer Victoria Kyriakides abroad and what are the challenges you come across there?
I was honored to be featured among the five new European Designers who have successfully invaded the American Market in a recent article about New York Bridal Fashion Week in the renowned magazine The Daily Front Row. The title of the article is: "European Invasion" and while the rest of the designers presented in the same article come from countries with a long tradition in fashion like the UK, France and Spain, I believe it is very important that this article is introduced with the Greek flag through my interview!
What is style for you?
Style is the way something is said, expressed or shown combined with quality that seems to be the characteristic of particular people with a vision of their own. Quality and originality of our outlook to life which is expressed in our actions and tastes. A noble way of being…living in style. Waking up every single morning and wearing in the finest way what your mood tells you to wear and not what magazines dictate to you.
"Crisis also means opportunity", to what extent do you agree with this and what is the opportunity rising for Greek fashion during crisis?
We need to continue moving forward without looking back! The more ahead we are, the quicker we react. We need to create our own opportunities with an ongoing optimistic attitude. If we quit during these hard times, we will lose ourselves! We need to continue dreaming and creating, taking small sturdy steps in the most serious way without repeating mistakes of the past such as trying to impress through fashion, impress yourself first!
The VKK-Victoria KyriaKides FW 2014 Bridal Collection presented at New York International Bridal Week
[pullquote]The ones I love are my allies to my dreams. They have a unique place in my life and are my source of optimism[/pullquote]
What are your plans for the future?
I recently presented my new Fall/Winter 2014 collection through a runway show in New York during the International Bridal Fashion Week. The way my work was embraced by the American press is unique! You can't imagine how happy I feel that two years of hard work by my whole team and my personal focus on my brand's success internationally have started showing results! My first goal outside of Greece was accomplished last year in London and now this past year I've made my mark towards success in New York. My plans for the future are about my constant development on the international fashion map.
What is La Grèce J'aime for you?
La Grèce J'aime to me is about the promotion of the artistic side of Greece in the freshest way. Far from tabloids and TV shows!

MOSCOW (AP) - Russia is blasting legislation that won final approval by the U.S. Congress yesterday calling for sanctions against Russian officials accused of human rights violations. Russia's Foreign Ministry calls it a "show in the theater of the absurd" and warns that it will respond in kind. The bill is designed to end Cold War-era trade restrictions against Russia.

Over the past 14 years I have been both a student (drum, recorder) and a volunteer at JOMP. A retired librarian, I set up and maintain the program's library of several hundred music-related books and several thousand pieces of music. In addition, I lead a weekly drumming group at a nursing home, with particularly satisfying response from Alz- heimer's petients. The high standards maintained by faculty and staff together with their commitment to inclusivity have made JOMP a Worcester county treasure.
My son's former piano teacher chased him away from the piano, in spite of his love of playing. Wendy said she would find the right teacher and she did. He ended up playing piano and later jazz guitar and became a music major in college - all thanks to the Joy of Music. As a working visual artist who works around the world I can tell you that the Joy of Music is one of the most amazing and generous organization I have come in contact with. Their commitment to make music available is commendable.

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you're a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled 'Please note'.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

* HSI flat, H-shares -0.5, CSI300 -0.3 pct
* 11 Chinese firms to launch IPOs, could dilute valuations
* Earnings performance, strong global market boost HK
* New stock account openings at 4-mth high
By Chen Yixin and Pete Sweeney
SHANGHAI, Aug 20 (Reuters) - China's stock indexes fell slightly by midday on Wednesday, on worries that upcoming initial public offerings (IPOs) will tax market liquidity even as investors look to take profits from a rise in large-cap shares.
Hong Kong stocks, however, found some support on positive earnings results from index majors and strong performance in offshore equity markets.
By midday, the CSI300 index of leading Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listings was down 0.3 percent. The Shanghai Composite fell 0.1 percent to 2,242.96 points.
In Hong Kong, the HSI index edged up 0.01 percent to 25,124.73 points, with the China share sub-component 0.5 percent lower at 11,040.16 points.
Late on Tuesday, the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) announced that 11 Chinese companies would launch IPOs, with subscriptions starting at the end of August.
"This information has some impact on liquidity in today's market, as investors are expected to set aside money to purchase new shares," said Du Changchun, an analyst from Northeast Securities in Shanghai.
He said that profit-taking seen in some index heavyweight shares, as well as a sell-off in media shares from the ChiNext board after a three-day rally, also dragged on the market.
Most analysts hold positive views on the domestic market. Some said that despite momentum weakening in recent days, the market was still on an upward trend. One analyst noted the market had been in bullish mode since the end of July.
The number of stock accounts opened at mainland brokerages last week broke 150,000, the highest level in four months, the official Shanghai Securities News reported on Wednesday citing a private survey.
The paper also reported that the head of the debt financing department at Haitong Securities Co Ltd was involved in a bond market anti-corruption probe, but the market appeared to shrug off the news, with shares of the securities firm easing only 0.5 percent in line with the broader market.
Several major-listed companies and banks in Hong Kong posted stronger than expected first-half earnings late on Tuesday. They included Brilliance China Auto, up 5.1 percent, which lent support to the Hong Kong market hovering around six-year highs, analysts said.
"Companies announcing strong results -- such as Brilliance China -- have raised interest in related stocks such as Dongfeng," said Ben Kwong, head of research and director of KGI Asia.
Dongfeng Motor Group was up more than 2 percent.

We try our best to reply to all contacts. If you don't hear from us after a week, try pinging us again or talk to us at our show.
Pricing Policy
Nerd Nite East Bay events are priced very competitively with other bay area lectures. Your ticket fee helps pay for venue, advertising, DJs, comped drinks and food and seats for speaker, video hosting, equipment, and other costs that Drinkified Learning, LLC incurs to make the events possible.
Our regular monthly events have been $8/per ticket for over two years for regular access. Because our rates are low and tend to sell out, we will only rarely offer a discount for any reason.
Tickets are required for admission into the venue, but do not guarantee anything else. Some events have, e.g. age or (safety) clothing requirements in addition to the requirement of a ticket. Seats are generally first-come/first-serve; you may love some talks and hate others; we are a live event and who knows what can happen.
We may occasionally offer premium/reserved seating sections and we may occasionally offer overflow seating to a streaming show. In either case, we will be transparent about what you are paying for and how much it will cost.
We sometimes host special events and the ticket price for these can vary considerably, but will be explicit in our promotional literature and ticketing sites.
Some ticketing providers and/or credit card processors that we work with have a surcharge. When they do, we will reveal the true cost of these surcharges & pass them on to you at the time of your purchase. We work to keep these surcharges low.

Pottery Workshops
The bright and airy workshop offers respite from the Puglian heat or shelter in inclement weather.
Enthusiasts and first timers are equally welcome to enjoy and create. From learning to throw to sculpting in clay, I provide both the technical expertise needed and a glass or two of prosecco when you're finished!
Many past students have found a 2/3 hour morning session enough to produce a variety of pieces each, whilst others found it only served to whet their appetite and returned for more.
The pottery has 3 wheels for throwing (2 powered, 1 kick), 2 kilns and plenty of workshop space for hand-building. Groups of up to 4 are ideal.
You may then book a glazing session or I will be happy to glaze to your choice and fire your finished work.
If possible, schedule your pottery session early on in your visit to Puglia, to allow time for drying and firing before you go home. Where necessary however, I have posted pots home to those who left before the final firing.

So, outsider, think you skilled? Lucky perhaps? Know this, none step a foot into the realm of Athel Loren unless the Forest itself permits it. These woods are more than our home. The trees and earth are our heart, the rivers and streams our blood. We are the children of Isha and Kurnous. The beauty of life is our gift and the purity of the hunt is our right. There is no other truth. All who would threaten the balance, who would infect the Forest with the rot of avarice and evil, must die.
Well, outsider, the Asrai do not break our oaths like our vile, dark cousins. Nor do we shirk from our duty like our conceited brethren in Ulthuan. But you are not like the others. The forest's embrace does not choke you. Your heart swells with awe and joy as the branches and leaves tickle you in welcome. Your heart races as you chase the hare and stag that elude you. Your heart soars as the butterflies and birds dive to greet you. Your heart sings as the wind and rivers lend you their sweet percussion. And your heart burns for vengeance when all this is threatened by the ignorant, the wasteful and the wicked.

No reason for deferring accord: Mujaddedi (Video)
No reason for deferring accord: Mujaddedi (Video)
KABUL (PAN): Former president and consultative Loya Jirga chairman, Sibghatullah Mujaddedi, on Saturday opined the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) between Afghanistan and United States should be signed before the presidential vote.
As the 50 jirga committees embarked on their proceedings, Mujaddedi told journalists that President Hamid Karzai did not reserve the right to postpone inking of the security deal. There was no reason for any delay, as all demands of Afghanistan had been met by the US, he argued.
No reason for deferring accord: Mujaddedi from Pajhwok Afghan News.

SF must condemn IRA's horrific past
The IRA's confirmed involvement in the brutal murder of Kevin McGuigan is creating a credibility problem for Sinn Fein, given its mantra that the IRA has left the stage and isn't coming back.
But whatever about the IRA's shadowy existence after the stake of peace was driven through its murderous heart a generation ago, there is certainly one step that Sinn Fein could now take that would kill off the remaining cancer cells of so-called "armed struggle".
That is to issue a statement renouncing, not only the shootings and bombings, the abductions and "informer executions" that "went wrong", or were not authorised or had unintended consequences, but the entire IRA campaign.
With Sinn Fein possibly poised to play a role in the formation of the next Irish government, it could do itself and the political process a huge favour by formally conceding that the "armed struggle" should never have happened in the first place and was morally wrong from start to finish.

Oak Ridge High's varsity girls basketball program hosted intra-county rival Ponderosa Thursday night, defeating the Lady Bruins handily in a 64-20 Delta River League victory.
The Bruins, 0-4 in league action heading into the game, found themselves outmatched against an undefeated squad from Troy with an expansive offensive arsenal.
The hosts jumped ahead early with a big first quarter performance, putting up 16 points while holding Ponderosa to one. Ali Bettencourt, Yumi Drossos and Jenn Hoffman all hit threes in that quarter — establishing an outside threat that Ponderosa was forced to address the rest of the night.
"We have struggled to maintain intensity as we cycle through our substitutions," Oak Ridge head coach Steve White said. "Tonight the girls did a good job of maintaining that intensity."
Troy continued to roll offensively, leading 37-5 at halftime. Ponderosa's guns started to fire in the second half as the Bruins managed to score 10 points in the third quarter and another five in the fourth but Oak Ridge was too much to handle, countering with a 27-point effort in the second half to seal victory.
"We knew going into Oak Ridge that it was going to be a long shot to pull off a win," Bruin head coach Noel O'Donnell said. "But I told the girls before the game how we're going to define a win against Oak Ridge and that was to achieve the team goals we set for the game, and never stop playing hard until the very end. I'm proud that the girls did those things — and it should give them a reason to be proud of their effort."
Alex Boyle had a team-high 11 points for the Bruins, while Danielle Craft was able to bang a pair of long-range daggers en route to her seven on the night. Ashlyn Zentner made good on a field goal in the third quarter to round out the scoring for Ponderosa.
"Ponderosa is always a team that plays hard," White said. "I thought they played hard and continued to press us throughout the game, they just didn't match up well with us tonight, and you have to give them credit for never slowing down."
Bettencourt finished with a trio of three-pointers in her game-high 13-point performance, while Grace Derksen found success from long range as well, finishing with eight. Celeste Vitolas and Shelby Peters each contributed seven while Saraya Smith and Drossos added six points apiece.
Briana Dulgar and Michelle Barkley shared duties in the second quarter en route to adding four points each while Conde Isamar and Hoffman finished with three. Jessica Maglietta's two points capped off Oak Ridge's offensive effort for the night.
