Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus; November 23, 1992) is an American actress and pop singer-songwriter. She achieved wide fame for her role as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel sitcom Hannah Montana.
Cyrus recorded music for the soundtracks, Hannah Montana (2006) and Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus (2007), released by Walt Disney Records. With the success of the Hannah Montana franchise she established herself as a teen idol. In 2007, Cyrus signed to Hollywood Records to pursue a solo career. She embarked upon the Best of Both Worlds Tour the same year, in which she performed as both herself and in character as Hannah Montana. The tour was eventually turned into a high-grossing concert film titled Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008). In July 2008, Cyrus released her first solo album, Breakout (2008), which was commercially successful.
She began her foray into film by providing the voice of "Penny" in the animated film Bolt (2008). Cyrus earned a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for her performance of Bolt's theme song, "I Thought I Lost You". She also reprised her role as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana in Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009). The Hannah Montana: The Movie' soundtrack introduced her to new audiences within country and adult contemporary markets.
She began to cultivate an adult image in 2009 with the release of The Time of Our Lives (2009), an extended play which presented a more mainstream pop sound, and by filming The Last Song (2010), a coming-of-age drama film. The former included Cyrus's best-selling single, "Party in the U.S.A." (2009). A studio album titled Can't Be Tamed was released in 2010 and presents a new dance-pop sound. The music video and lyrics of the album's lead single, "Can't Be Tamed", portrays a more sexualized image for the entertainer. Cyrus ranked number thirteen on Forbes' 2010 Celebrity 100.[3] For the 2011 Guinness World Records, she was named the "Most Charted Teenager" following her 29th US Billboard Hot 100 chart entry on November 7, 2009 with "Party in the USA".[4]

Cyrus was born on November 23, 1992, in Nashville, Tennessee, to Letitia Jean "Tish"[5] (née Finley) and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.[6][7] Her parents named her Destiny Hope because they believed that she would accomplish great things with her life. They gave her the nickname "Smiley", which was later shortened to "Miley", because she smiled so often as a baby.[8] Cyrus suffers from a mild heart condition causing tachycardia which, though not dangerous, is often bothersome.[9]
Against the wishes of her father's record company,[10] Cyrus's parents secretly married a year after Cyrus's birth on December 28, 1993.[7][11] Tish had two children from a previous relationship: Trace and Brandi. Billy Ray adopted Trace and Brandi when they were young.[12] She has a half-brother, Christopher Cody, Billy Ray's son from a brief relationship, born the same year as Miley; he grew up with his mother in South Carolina.[10] Tish and Billy Ray had two more children, Braison and Noah. Cyrus's godmother is entertainer Dolly Parton.[13] Cyrus was very close to her paternal grandfather, Democratic politician Ronald Ray Cyrus.[14] Cyrus has paid her grandfather several tributes since his death in 2006, including eventually changing her middle name to "Ray".[15] According to Cyrus's father, "A lot of people say Miley changed her name to Miley Ray because of Billy Ray, but that's not true. She did that in honor of my dad, because the two of them just loved each other to pieces."[9]
Cyrus grew up on a 500-acre (2.0 km2) farm in Franklin, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville,[16] and attended Heritage Elementary School.[17] She was raised Christian and was baptized in a Southern Baptist church prior to moving to Hollywood in 2005. She attended church regularly while growing up and wore a purity ring.[18] Several of Cyrus's siblings also eventually entered the entertainment business: Trace became a vocalist and guitarist for the electronic pop band Metro Station,[19] Noah became an actress, and Brandi became a guitarist.[20]
In 2001, when Cyrus was eight, she and her family moved to Toronto, Canada while her father filmed the television series Doc.[21] Cyrus said watching her father film the show inspired her to pursue acting. After Billy Ray took her to see a 2001 Mirvish production of Mamma Mia! at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Cyrus grabbed his arm and told him, "This is what I want to do, daddy. I want to be an actress."[22] She began taking singing and acting classes at the Armstrong Acting Studio in Toronto.[23] In her first role, Cyrus played a girl named Kylie on Doc.[8] In 2003, Cyrus was credited under her birth name for her role as "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's Big Fish.[24]
At age 11, Cyrus learned about the casting for what became Hannah Montana, a Disney Channel children's television series about a school girl with a secret double life as a teen pop star. Cyrus sent in a tape auditioning for the show's best friend role, but received a call asking her to audition for the lead, "Chloe Stewart".[1] After sending in a new tape and flying to Hollywood for further auditions,[25] Cyrus was told that she was too young and too small for the part.[25][26] However, her persistence and ability to sing in addition to act led the show's producers to invite her back for further auditions. Cyrus eventually received the lead, renamed "Miley Stewart" after herself, at the age of twelve.[25] During this time, she also auditioned with Taylor Lautner for the feature film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D and it came down to her and another actress, but Cyrus started doing Hannah Montana instead.[27]
As Cyrus's career took off, Tish Cyrus made several critical decisions regarding her daughter's representation. She signed Cyrus with Mitchell Gossett, director of the youth division at Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty. Gossett, who specializes in creating child stars, had arranged for Cyrus's auditions for Hannah Montana and is credited with "discovering" her.[28][29] For Cyrus's music career, Tish followed the advice of Dolly Parton, Cyrus's godmother and a singer herself, and signed Cyrus with Jason Morey of Morey Management Group. "Dolly said the Moreys are people you can trust around your daughter," Tish Cyrus recalls, "and she said they have good morals, which is not always the case in this business."[30] According to trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter, Parton's advice was "the best advice [Tish] could [have gotten] on who should rep her daughter."[30] Tish also recruited Billy Ray's business manager to manage her daughter's finances. Tish herself continues to co-manage or produce many of Cyrus's career decisions.[30] For her education, Cyrus enrolled at Options for Youth Charter Schools[31] and studied with a private tutor on the set of her television show.[32]
Hannah Montana became an instant hit and propelled Cyrus to teen idol status, according to The Daily Telegraph.[24] The series premiered on March 26, 2006, to the largest audience ever for a Disney Channel show[33] and soon became one of the highest-rated series on basic cable, elevating Cyrus's wealth and fame along with it.[34] Time magazine reports that Cyrus's "phenom[enal]" success is due partially to her talent and partially to "Disney learning to use its vast, multimedia holdings" and market Cyrus and Hannah Montana appropriately.[35] Cyrus eventually became the first artist to have deals in television, film, consumer products, and music within The Walt Disney Company.[28]
The first single was "The Best of Both Worlds", the theme song to Hannah Montana, which was released on March 28, 2006.[36] "The Best of Both Worlds" is credited to "Hannah Montana", the pop star Cyrus portrays on the series by the same name. As with other songs credited to Montana, Cyrus typically dressed as the character when performing the song live.[37] Cyrus's first release under her own name was a cover of James Baskett's "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah", released on April 4, 2006, on the fourth edition of DisneyMania.[38] Dressed as Hannah Montana, Cyrus opened for The Cheetah Girls on twenty dates of their The Party's Just Begun Tour, beginning on September 15, 2006.[39] On October 24 of same year, Walt Disney Records released the first Hannah Montana soundtrack. Of the nine tracks on the soundtrack performed by Cyrus, eight were credited to "Hannah Montana" and one, a duet with her father titled "I Learned from You", was credited to Cyrus as herself. The album peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.[40]
The second season of Hannah Montana premiered on April 23, 2007, and ran until October 12, 2008.[41] Cyrus signed a four-album deal with Disney-owned Hollywood Records and, on June 26, 2007, released a double-disc album. The first disc was the soundtrack to the second season of Hannah Montana, while the second, titled Meet Miley Cyrus, was Cyrus's debut album credited to her own name. The double-disc album peaked at number one on the Billboard 200[42] and was later certified three times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[43] Meet Miley Cyrus generated "See You Again", Cyrus's first single to be released under her own name and her first top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100.[44] In fall 2007, Cyrus launched her first tour, the Best of Both Worlds Tour, to promote Meet Miley Cyrus and the Hannah Montana soundtracks. With the Jonas Brothers, Aly & AJ, and Everlife as her opening acts, Cyrus toured from October 17, 2007, to January 31, 2008, with stops in the U.S. and Canada.[45] Tickets sold out in minutes and were scalped for up to $2,500 and an average of $214, well above their $26–$65 face value.[46] A Ticketmaster official commented, "Hell hath no fury like the parent of a child throwing a tantrum. People who have been in this business for a long time are watching what's happening, and they say there hasn't been a demand of this level or intensity since The Beatles or Elvis."[47]
After the end of the Best of Both Worlds Tour in January 2008, Walt Disney Pictures released Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, a 3D concert film of the tour, on February 1, 2008, for what was expected to be a one-week run. The film earned over $31 million[48] at the box-office and an average of $42,000 per theater, twice the expected total, convincing Disney executives to extend the release for an indefinite run. "We don't want to turn away kids from the theaters who couldn't get into the concerts," said Chuck Viane, Disney's chief of distribution.[49] The film's soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records/Hollywood Records on March 11, 2008, and peaked at number three on the Billboard 200.[50]
On July 22, 2008, Cyrus released her second studio album under her own name, titled Breakout. Cyrus said Breakout was inspired by "what's been going on in my life in the past year."[51] Cyrus co-wrote eight out of twelve songs on the album.[51] "Songwriting is what I really want to do with my life forever, [...] I just hope this record showcases that, more than anything, I'm a writer."[52] The album debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart[53] and its lead single, "7 Things", peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.[54][55] She hosted the 2008 CMT Music Awards with her father in April[56] and the 2008 Teen Choice Awards by herself in August.[57] Cyrus provided the voice of Penny in the 2008 computer-animated film Bolt, which was released on November 21, 2008, to critical acclaim.[58] Cyrus also co-wrote and recorded the song "I Thought I Lost You" as a duet with John Travolta for the film, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination.[59] In September 2009, she participated in the charity single "Just Stand Up!" in support of the anti-cancer campaign Stand Up to Cancer[60] and in the City of Hope Benefit Concert in support of cancer research and training programs.[61] She also became involved in Disney's Friends for Change, an environmentalist group, for which she recorded the charity single "Send It On" along with several other Disney Channel stars.[62]
Cyrus had already begun transitioning to a more grown-up image in late 2008, when her representatives negotiated a deal for novelist Nicholas Sparks to write the screenplay and novel basis for a film that would serve as a star vehicle for Cyrus by introducing her to audiences older than the young fans she had gained through Hannah Montana.[63] Sparks and co-writer Jeff Van Wie developed The Last Song.[63] It was important to Cyrus that she not be type cast as a singer: "I didn't want to be a singer in another film. I don't want to do that anymore. You have no idea how many musicals show up on my door. I want to do something a little more serious."[64] In March 2009, Cyrus published Miles to Go, a memoir co-written by Hilary Liftin chronicling her life through age sixteen.[65] Cyrus starred as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana in Hannah Montana: The Movie, released April 10, 2009. Both the film and its soundtrack, which contained twelve songs performed by Cyrus,[66] achieved commercial success.[67][68] The soundtrack's lead single, "The Climb", became a Top 40 hit in twelve countries[69] and introduced Cyrus to listeners outside her typical teen pop audience.[70] Cyrus had considered ending Hannah Montana after its third season, which finished production on June 5, 2009,[71] but Disney retained and exercised its option for a fourth season.[72]
Production on The Last Song lasted from June 15, 2009, to August 18, 2009.[73] In between, Cyrus launched the third Hannah Montana soundtrack, recorded the extended play The Time of Our Lives (EP), and released the EP's lead single, "Party in the U.S.A."[74] Cyrus said The Time of Our Lives "is a transitioning album. [...] really to introduce people to what I want my next record to sound like and with time I will be able to do that a little more."[75] "Party in the U.S.A." debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 for her best-ever ranking on the chart.[76] The Time of Our Lives was released in conjunction with a clothing line co-designed by Cyrus and Max Azria for Walmart.[77]
From September 14, 2009, to December 29, 2010, Cyrus toured on her Wonder World Tour to promote Breakout and The Time of Our Lives.[citation needed] On December 7, 2009, Cyrus performed for Queen Elizabeth II and numerous other members of the British Royal Family at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, North West England.[78]
Production on the fourth and final season of Hannah Montana began on January 18, 2010.[79] In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Cyrus appeared on the charity singles "We Are the World: 25 for Haiti" and "Everybody Hurts".[80][81] Her third studio album, Can't Be Tamed, was released on June 21, 2010. The album's first single is the title track, "Can't Be Tamed". The single was released for sale on May 18, 2010, and entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number eight.[82] Cyrus's costumes and dances while promoting Can't Be Tamed were also considerably more provocative than previous performances, arousing media criticism.[83] After releasing the album, Cyrus intends to take a break from the music industry in order to focus on her film career.[84] She commented, "I've not taken, like, acting lessons or anything, but it doesn't mean I don't need to because I'm sure I do [...] I'm probably going to go book an acting coach."[85] Cyrus has also decided to opt out of college for the same reason, saying "I'm a firm believer that you can go back at any age you want, because my Grandma went back to college at 62 [...] For right now, I really want to focus on my career. I've worked hard to get to where I am now, and I want to enjoy it while it lasts."[86][87][88]
Cyrus starred in The Last Song, which was released on March 31, 2010, and received generally poor reviews, as did Cyrus's performance.[89] Nonetheless, the film was commercially successful, grossing more than $88 million at the worldwide box office.[90] According to box-office analyst Exhibitor Relations, the film marked "a successful transition to adult roles for Miley Cyrus."[91] The fourth and final season of Hannah Montana began airing on Disney Channel on July 11, 2010, and was ended on January 16, 2011.[92] Cyrus filmed two more films, LOL: Laughing Out Loud and So Undercover in 2010. In LOL, a remake of a 2008 French teen film of the same name, Cyrus plays "a daughter who is involved with all the wrong kids, doing drugs, failing school, but [...whose] mother has her on this perfect pedestal" and says "[She] just fell in love with the story."[93] Cyrus' character loses her virginity, smokes cannabis, gets wasted and kisses two girlfriends on the lips.[94] She will also star in So Undercover, an action comedy film. Cyrus will play the part of "a tough, street-smart private eye hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority."[95] She learned street fighting for the role.[95]
Despite her earlier announcement that she'd be focusing more on acting in the future, in February 2011, Cyrus confirmed she had no films lineup and was going to go on tour.[96] On April 29, 2011, Cyrus embarked on her international Gypsy Heart Tour in South America and ended the tour on July 2, 2011, in Australia. Cyrus hosted Saturday Night Live on March 5, 2011, where she performed in several sketches. She also sang a brief song about her several controversies, such as the bong incident, the photo of her friend and she eating a Twizzler, and the "pole dance" on a hotel pole at the Teen Choice Awards, stating "I'm sorry that I'm not perfect."[97][98] In March 2011, father Billy Ray Cyrus confirmed on talk show, The View, that Cyrus had been in talks with producer Dr. Luke on a new album.[99] In July 2011, it was announced that she would record her fourth studio album and she has no plans to sign onto any other film projects.[100] However, it was reported on August 2, 2011, by Contact Music that Cyrus has signed on to star in a comedy in which she plays a woman who broke a promise to God.[101]
Cyrus released on YouTube a remix of her song "Liberty Walk" in November 2011, dedicated to the Occupy movement, which she referred to as, "the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in."[102]
In January 2012, it was announced that Cyrus would be on Punk'd. Cyrus would be on the show alongside friend and co-star in her new film So Undercover, Kelly Osbourne. Cyrus and Osbourne on an episode of the show would punk reality star and TV personality Khloé Kardashian Odom. They punk Khloe by having a young food delivery man pretends to get his family jewels caught in his zipper while using Miley's bathroom.[103][104]
On January 24, the album Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International was released in honor of Bob Dylan, Cyrus covered Dylan's song "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" from his 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks, in which she also made a music video.[105] Cyrus's version of the song earned positive reviews from music critics.[106][107][108]
In February, Cyrus dropped out of the animated comedy Hotel Transylvania, in which she was meant to play the role of Mavis, the daughter of Dracula who is voiced by Adam Sandler, the movie also stars Andy Samberg, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, and David Spade.[109] It was later announced that she will be replaced by fellow Disney star and friend Selena Gomez.[110] She later announced that she dropped out of the film because she wanted to work on her music this year.[111][112]
In 2008, Cyrus earned $25 million, up from her earnings of $18 million in 2007, and was ranked number 35 on Forbes magazine's "Celebrity 100" list.[113] Parade magazine reported she was the richest teenage celebrity and that her franchise would be worth approximately $1 billion by the end of the year.[114] In 2009, Forbes ranked her #29 on the Celebrity 100 and reported she had earned a total of $25 million.[115] Then Cyrus got ranked number thirteen on Forbes' 2010 Celebrity 100 ranking $48 million.[3] From the $48 million she made between June 2009 to June 2010 made her the no. 4 highest earners under 30 and the youngest on the list.[116] between June 2010 and June 2011, Cyrus earned $54 million.[117]
From working on Hannah Montana, Cyrus got paid $15,000 per episode she did on the hit show, making her the 6th highest paid child star on television behind fellow Disney stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse and Keke Palmer with $20,000 for their shows. Also, she is behind friend and Disney star Selena Gomez that makes $25,000 per episode of her show, Nick star Miranda Cosgrove with $180,000 per episode of her show, and one time co-star Angus T. Jones that got paid $250,000 for each episode of his show.[118] Though she had not got paid as much as other Disney stars,when she was 17 she was named #19 on the "Top 20 World's Richest Female Singers Of All Time" list with over $100 million in 5 years active throughout her career, which made her the youngest female artist on the list.[119] In 2011, she was named #1 on the "Top 10 Richest Teens in Hollywood" with $120 million.[120]
A Christian, she was baptized in a Southern Baptist church in 2005.[121]
In February 2008, Cyrus and her friend Mandy Jiroux opened a YouTube account and began posting videos of what they called The Miley and Mandy Show. The show, described as a "YouTube hit," is said to be filmed for fun by Cyrus and Jiroux and to be entirely their work, with Cyrus and Jiroux editing the footage together.[122]
With Cyrus's increased success came increased media attention. In a May 2008 interview with The Los Angeles Times, Francois Navarre, the proprietor of the X17 photo agency, said Cyrus's market value had picked up considerably after the Vanity Fair photo controversy: "She's started to sell more. [...] It used to be $300, and now it's $2,000 for a picture."[123] Estimates for a picture of the then-15 year old's first kiss ranged from $30,000 to $150,000.[123] Navarre noted that Cyrus rarely behaved against her wholesome image or went out without a parent and stated, "She has people waiting for the moment she starts to be less traditional. [...] It's natural. Any teenager. But it's going to come very fast. [...] As soon as her mom lets her go out by herself. It's going to start to be interesting."[123] Time magazine included her on the 2008 Time 100, the magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her write-up was written by former child star Donny Osmond, who warned, "As an idol to tweens the world over, singer-actress Miley Cyrus, 15, is riding a huge tidal wave at the pinnacle of her career; this is as it should be. I hope she enjoys it. [...] Within three to five years, Miley will have to face adulthood. [...] As she does, she'll want to change her image, and that change will be met with adversity."[124]
Cyrus celebrated her 16th birthday at Disneyland with a charity fundraiser for Youth Service America, a youth volunteer service organization.[125][126][127]
In June 2009, Cyrus ended her nine-month relationship with model Justin Gaston shortly before flying to Georgia to film The Last Song.[128] While filming later that month, Cyrus began dating her co-star in The Last Song, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth.[129] She later called him her "first serious boyfriend".[130] In August 2010, it was confirmed that her relationship with Hemsworth had ended.[131][132] Cyrus and Hemsworth were seen together a month later, and were reportedly back together.[133] It was announced in early November that the couple had split again.[134] They have since rekindled their relationship.[135]
At the end of 2009, Billboard magazine ranked Cyrus the fourth best-selling female artist[136] and the fifth best-selling singer overall.[137] Also in 2009, at the age of sixteen, she became the youngest artist to have four number one albums on the charts.[138]
In December 2007, a brief controversy emerged when photos Cyrus had posted on her private MySpace account, depicting her and a female friend sharing a piece of licorice and "almost kissing", were spread across the internet, prompting rumors of lesbianism. Cyrus comments, "For me, I was like, That's two girls—it's not a big deal. But they got spread around. Like someone copied and pasted and said, Omigod, look at this, and blah blah blah."[139]
In April 2008, several provocative images of Cyrus in her underwear and swimsuit were leaked onto the web by a teenager who hacked Cyrus's Gmail account.[140][141][142][143] Cyrus described the images as "silly, inappropriate shots" and stated, "I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone."[144][145] On April 25, 2008, the televised entertainment program Entertainment Tonight reported that Cyrus, then 15, had posed topless for a photoshoot taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair.[146] On April 29, 2008, The New York Times clarified that though the pictures left an impression that she was bare-breasted, Cyrus was wrapped in a bedsheet and was actually not topless.[147] Some parents expressed outrage at the nature of the photograph, which a Disney spokesperson described as "a situation [that] was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." Gary Marsh, president of entertainment for Disney Channel Worldwide, was quoted by Portfolio magazine to have said, "For Miley Cyrus to be a 'good girl' is now a business decision for her. Parents have invested in her a godliness. If she violates that trust, she won't get it back."[147] In response to the Internet circulation of the photo and ensuing media attention, Cyrus released a statement of apology on April 27, 2008: "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."[147] Leibovitz also released a statement: "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."[147][148]
In May 2008, Gossett, Cyrus's longtime acting agent, left Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty for United Talent Agency, partially with the hope of "giving Cyrus the major-agency backing that would support a widening career", according to The Hollywood Reporter.[30][149] About a year later in June 2009, Cyrus left both Gossett and UTA, which had recently negotiated her deals for The Last Song and the fourth season of Hannah Montana, and joined the Creative Artists Agency, which had already represented her for music.[150] Nikki Finke, who broke the news, reported, "Is this fair to UTA? Of course not. But I hear the decision was made by Miley's mother Trish [sic] Cyrus".[151]
Cyrus's performance of "Party in the U.S.A." at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards incited a media uproar, with some viewers criticizing Cyrus's provocative outfit and inclusion of a brief pole dance as inappropriate for her age, then sixteen, and for her young fans.[152][153] Conversely, Newsday reported that her sexualization "has been coming for some time."[154] Ian Drew, senior editor of US Weekly, said, "She already has this risque image, so it really wasn't much of a stretch. That's how Britney [Spears] took off. She was the good girl gone bad, and it looks to be working for Miley as well."[154] Cyrus was also criticized that year for dating Gaston, five years her senior,[155] and for a photo displaying Cyrus and friends making "slant-eyed" expressions, which the Organization of Chinese Americans claimed was offensive to the Asian community.[156] Cyrus apologized for the photo on her website, defending her actions and saying, "In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face."[157]
Later in 2010, TMZ released a video of Cyrus, then 16, giving Adam Shankman, producer of The Last Song, a lap dance at the film's wrap party.[158][159][160] Cyrus's father defended her actions, saying Miley was just "having fun" and that "it's what people her age do".[161] Later that year in December, TMZ released a video of Cyrus, which took place five days after her 18th birthday at her Los Angeles home, in which she is seen smoking from a bong. She claimed she was smoking the psychoactive plant salvia divinorum, although this has not been confirmed by anybody but Cyrus herself.[162][163][164] Salvia is legal in the state of California, and Cyrus was of legal age at the time the video was shot.[165] Cyrus's father expressed his sadness regarding the matter on Twitter, saying, "Sorry guys. I had no idea. Just saw this stuff for the first time myself. I'm so sad. There is much beyond my control right now".[166][167]
In a video obtained by The Daily, taking place at Cyrus' 19th birthday party at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, Cyrus went to the microphone and addressed the crowd. Immediately after her Bob Marley-themed birthday cake had been brought out, Cyrus said, "You know you're a stoner when your friends make you a Bob Marley cake. You know you smoke way too much f****n' weed."[168] One week later, Cyrus' representative stated that Cyrus was just being a "smart-ass" and that the Bob Marley cake had just been an "inside joke" with Cyrus and her friends, as Cyrus' friend, Kelly Osbourne had been calling her "Bob Miley" since Cyrus' 2010 salvia incident.[169]

R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
Interesting question of fact that I read today. What political candidates,
now running for Prez & Vice Prez ,have been charged & found guilty of ethics
violations by their respective bodies of government?
Answer: John McCain & Sarah Palin. It's true. McCain by Congress & Palin
by the Alaska Legislature.
I've Been Boo'd
I've been Frosted
Im well versed on the Palin Troopergate fiasco, but could you expound on McCains ethics violation please?
Just look up The Keating 5 Scandal
I've Been Boo'd
I've been Frosted
It's a damned shame the investigation sinto ACORN and voter fraud won't be complete before the elections.
Dallas Cowboys registered to vote in NV, 40,000 felons registered in FL, Dead people registered and voting from the grave.....
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
McCain was censored for lack of ethics & lack of judgement. He had to
get on his knees and beg to keep his job.
I've Been Boo'd
I've been Frosted
You couldnt find a less biased website as a source? Your second link showwed nothing in the way of him being censored or begging to keep his job.
Try this one, source.
In the end, McCain received only a mild rebuke from the Ethics Committee for exercising "poor judgment" for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating. Still, he felt tarred by the affair.
"The appearance of it was wrong," McCain said. "It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do."
McCain noted that Bennett, the independent counsel, recommended that McCain and Glenn be dropped from the investigation.
Mickey is a Democrat? Who knew?
I wonder why we don't hear more about ACORN? Oh wait... I know. LOL

47th IUIS Council Meeting Sunday, October 19 2003, Vienna Present:Béné, Chaouat, Daha, Dent, Garcia-Latorre, Gavilondo, Kalil, Kincade, Laing, Launois, Leke, Liew, Lunney,Mehra, Melchers, Melief, Miyasaka, Moore, Newkirk, Örn, Riera, Röllinghoff, Sirisinha, Smolen, Turner, Valenta, Zinkernagel Excused: Dieye, Marrack, Metzger, Milon, Ress, Strober, Xu No reply: Johansson, Masek 1. Welcome and opening remarks Dr. Rolf Zinkernagel acts as chairman, because Dr. Pippa Marrack has indicated that she is not able to attend. All present agree with the chair by Dr. Zinkernagel. Dr. Zinkernagel mentions that Dr. Marrack is not able to attend the meeting because of serious family matters. On behalf of the attendants of the meeting he wishes her well. Secondly he welcomes the new representatives in the Council from the affiliated organisations WHO, Dr. Pascal Launois (replacement of Dr. Jacques Louis), Dr. Kerry Laing (in place of Dr. Chris Secombes) of the ISDCI, Dr. Clelia Maria Riera from ALAI and Dr. F.Y. Liew, the new president of EFIS and replacing Dr. Sergio Romagnani. Then Dr. Zinkernagel thanks Mrs. Sylvia Trittinger and her colleagues for taking care of the organisation of the 47th Council meeting in Vienna. He apologizes for the fact that because of tight schedules the members of the executive committee (EXCO) were not able to visit the Vienna Medical Academy. At the same time he asks the Council members who visited the Academy about their view about the Academy and the Central IUIS Secretariat. Overall the different members are very content with the way the central office channels information to and from the members of the Council. In addition one feels that the central office is starting to function as a "memory" for IUIS. Especially the contacts with Mrs. Trittinger are highly appreciated. However, one feels that the time to visit the academy was short and therefore not enough to have an indepth view of the organisation. All the members greatly appreciated being hosted by the Austrian Academy and enjoyed the snacks and drinks. Dr. Zinkernagel summarized the various comments and concluded that "it is good to have a centralized office for IUIS". Then Dr. Zinkernagel mentions that he proposes to add an additional point to the agenda, namely under 11 b; proposals for composition of the EXCO for the period 2004 – 2007. Further the agenda point 13 (discussion of the budget 2004) is moved to 5c, so that the treasurer can discuss all financial matters as one item. Finally Dr. Zinkernagel asks whether other members of the Council have additional points for the agenda. No suggestions are put forward. 2. Minutes of the 46th council meeting, Havana 2002 The concept minutes were distributed to all Council members and others some time earlier in 2003. Dr. Newkirk remarks that concerning the last paragraph of item 14, that this item was brought up in a private discussion with Dr. Smolen and that she had already indicated by e-mail to the Secretary General, that this item does not belong in the summary of the minutes.

""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 1, 2013
A fairly cheap , but comfortable hotel, really had no issues. Room was clean and comfortable, and staff were very helpful. Was near a small mall, so that was convinient too. A bit difficult to get back onto the highway from the location, but o erall an excellent stay
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 11, 2012
Lovely hotel to stay at but a bit remote. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend this hotel for people who need to be in the local area.
"Great Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 26, 2012
Excellent stay for our family, very close to the airport and easy to get into the city by car. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was plentiful and the swimming pool was clean, the kids loved it. Would definitely stay here again.
"Breakfast and shuttle"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 10, 2012
Satisfactory. Room, breakfast and airport shuttle OK. They want the shuttle to be used only for check-in and check-out. Why not allow guests to use it every day? International guests do not have cars. McDonalds next door was handy.
"Close to Airport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 10, 2012
It was brief but comfortable

"What I expected"
For the money I paid the room was as expected. Pillows were definitely worn but the linen and bathroom were clean, tv needs an upgrade, pool and the hot tub were clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Avaid if possible"
We got to our rooms, after more than an hour at the front desk, to find the toilet seat on the side of the bathroom door. We didn't bother calling the front desk as it was very late and did not expect to have anyone available to fix the seat at 11:00 pmGenuine Hotels.com guest review
I was not happy with my stay and managements way of making me happy was a 10% coupon... I will not use this establishment again...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice for the price"
The room was clean, beds were comfy, staff was friendly enough, was better than expected for the price. Only complaint was pool water was a little cloudy and colder than expected, but kids still had fun!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I was satisfied, at first the outside looked a little scary but it was ok....Genuine Hotels.com guest review
For the value charged by the hotel, it was solid. Safe, comfortable, quiet. Hotels.com charged me but so did the hotel, so I was charged twice. Now that is a pain and I may never get my money back. rather furious about thatGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"bad hotel"
our stay was awful. the bed spread had purple stain on it. dusting was not done. tray that had the coffee pot was dirty ,refrigerator was not clean. The chair cushion lift up and it was not vacuum. the shower rod was not clean was rusty a little bit of elbow grease and scraping it off would do. Breakfast was crape. I had to go to a place that serve […] breakfast to get something to eat. that was expense that I really did not have. The bed was comfortable. the gal that checked us in the evening was very nice. on Friday night August 30th.The room we had was room 219.We was there from August 30th to Sept.2.2013.there was no TV station guide to tell us what station are on televisions the station were snowy all the time Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hallway and room smelled very bad. It was not a pleasurable experience.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not up to Standard"
The plus for this hotel was the friendliness of it's staff. The hotel itself is in desperate need of upgrading. The pillows were standard sized pillows and not the big, fluffy pillows you would usually find at a hotel. The comforter on top was stained and nubby. As soon as we walked into the hotel we were hit by the smell of smoke, and it continued […] in the hall to our rooms and into the room. I asked my husband if we had been placed in a smoking wing by mistake. On the way to the room there was a discarded band aid on the carpet. The room was poorly equipped. There was one regular drinking glass, and two mugs so my daughters and I shared the one glass for a drink of water. In the bathroom there were two regular sized towels and two face clothes, but there were three of us sharing the room. The same was true in the second room we booked, and there were four people in there so lots of sharing of the one glass and two towels! The continental breakfast was very basic. We had to ask for the milk to be re-filled so that the kids would not have to eat dry cereal. We also asked if there were any Danish pastries that could be refilled, because the tray was empty. There was no fruit. All in all we were not impressed with our stay. Thankfully we were so tired from driving 14 hours that day, that we slept well. The mattresses were great. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"lexington hotel"
This hotel is bad. The ice machine never worked. Will not return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We left after 10 minutes. The room looked like a jail cell. The toilet exploded and it smelled like mold and cigarette smoke. Overall, we were very unsatisified with the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great value and huge jetted tube in the king suiteGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK Inn"
Nothing extravagant but a decent and reasonably priced Inn. Location was a bit of a commute from O'Hare Airport but it was the only available place to stay. Since my cancelled flight wasn't until 2 days later. The beds were comfortable and no elevator.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel"
Great for the price. This is not luxury by any means, but the hotel was good. The pool was great. Breakfast was good. It seems that the rooms were recently upgraded. They were clean, very spacious and comfortable. Free high-speed internet. The parking lot and exterior can use a bit of upgrading, but I really don't care about that. Convenient location […] right next to the highway on/off ramp. I will stay there again on one of my next trips because I can save money and it accommodates my needs. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to chicago classic 2013"
It wasn't what it looked in the pix. They only gave me 2 towels & there wasn't any soaps in the room. But it was super close to my destinations.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad, but not great"
This hotel gave me a place to stay, and a continental breakfast and was inexpensive, so in doing so it met its promises. But the water smelled, and the guests in the surrounding rooms were very noisy and some of the guests actually made me feel unsafe (guy outside asking if I'd like to get to know the Chicago nightlife). So it isn't a bad place, but […] I'd spend a few extra dollars next time to be somewhere better. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
not good. the room did not have a working phone or heater.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not recommended"
The toilet paper holder was broke and laying on the floor. There was no hair dryer in the room. The bath room sink didnt drain at all, and the water in it took 15 minutes to drain finally. The heat in the room didnt work and had to have maintenance come and fix it which took 45 minutes. There was only one half roll of toilet paper on the roll. There […] was only one towel and wash cloth in the room. the hand soap was empty. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The building and room look nothing like the pictures online. The room was suppose to be ready at 3:00pm. It was not ready still at 6:00pm when we arrived. The fridge in the room was dirty, crumbs, and stinked. There was urine in the toilet and on the seat. The sheets looked used. The hot tub was broke. The carpets worn down and stained. The floor where […] the pool is was chipping paint. Just disgusting and horrible staff. Not very courteous or professional. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"If you need something cheap, and you're desperate"
The hotel room was clean, and the building was pretty quiet. 2 things I didn't like: the glass door to our hallway was broken (it looked like someone kicked it), and even though the building is non-smoking, our hallway smelled like pot. If you don't expect too much from this hotel, you won't be let down. If you're looking for a cheap place to crash […] then it's ok, but next time I'll pay the little extra and stay somewhere better. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The hotel was somewhat isolated. I saw a roach in my room which made me feel gross. I then tried to use the phone to call the front dest and NO dial tone.....only to realize that the phone cord had been pulled out of the back of the phone.....hmmmmmmm what was that all about? As i moved the night stand to pick up the cord that was unplugged and fallen […] on the floor, there were all kinds of crumbs, food pieces, and just nastiness.....it obviously is not cleaned, only surface "look nice" cleaning. I would NOT go back! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel was in a very sketchy part of town and was no where near the location of the event we were attending. I did not feel safe at this location.Genuine Expedia guest review
The hot tub was dirty the shower had blood and the frieg didnt work over all very disappointedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The rooms are nice the service was lacking. I had asked several times for an iron they had no ironing board and I Never did get the ironGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel, would stay there again."
The staff and crew were very nice and helped me out with all my questions about the area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient place to stay"
Convenient place to rest our heads on our road trip. The hallways smelled of smoke even though the room was non-smoking. Bed was comfortable and room was clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Terrible! I arrived at the front desk main lobby late in the evening and the hotel had an overall feeling of uncleanliness. Hotel staff was not helpful and had absolutely no regard for their guests.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a happy camper"
There were people in the rooms around us that were extremely intoxicated and when we called the front desk they did nothing. it was clean and a place to sleep but would not go back!Genuine Expedia guest review
Not so good. I have had better accommodations in third world countries. I don't think they are ready yet to serve the business traveler.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
outside is older looking but inside is clean and remodeled.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel was under construction. It had 2 signs up, Days Inn and Elgin Inn kinda confusing. Had a screw in my tire from all the construction. Pool wasn't open, vending machines were empty. The room itself was nice and clean but the overall experience was pretty bad. Construction debris everywhere, you needed a dust mask to get to your room. Anyone could […] walk into hotel itself without a key. Maybe once they are done renovating it will be OK. Until then, steer clear. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Ver Nice Hotel"
We stayed at the Elgin Inn (now Days Inn) this past weekend. The hotel is under MAJOR construction right now. The room we got(king) was BAEUTIFUL! New everything. Area is convieniently off of I-90. Staff was pleasant and well dressed.We will stay here agian without question!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Elgin Inn- Worst Hotel Experiance Iv Ever Had"
Arrived at the hotel late at night, and immediately realized this was not a good place to stay. The only reason we even booked at a two star hotel was do to the age restriction of the surrounding neighborhoods you must be 21 to check in, elgin inn allows 18+. At check in i was charged a fee for the two nights and had some question with it however paid […] anyways, turns out i got charged by hotels.com and the hotel, thankfully the next morning i was able to work this out. The room, looked like it hadnt been swept, there was an odor, and the sliding glass doors to the "patio" were mildewy and im not even sure they locked. When i attempted to turn on the tv i picked up the remote and the tv guide came with it, turns out the remote had a piece of gum attached to it. The bathroom ceiling paint was chipped. The bathroom also had one of those old fashioned razor blade disposal holes in the wall, which i found very convenient as i always use a 30 year old disposable rusty razor to do my shaving with. Basically if you have no other choice but to stay in this hotel, its better to park at a gas station and sleep in your car than here. On the upside when i woke up and went to my car i had expected someone to have broken into it and shockingly no one had. I originally booked two nights here but opted to find somewhere else the second night... anywhere was better. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Aparência externa do hotel não é muito boa, é um hotelzinho razoável de estrada, os corredores tem um cheiro muito forte de cigarro, inclusive o quarto, mas depois de abrir a janela e trocar o ar interno, melhorou. O conforto do quarto é regular, tem uma cama confortável e um banheiro razoável. A limpeza é muito boa e o atendimento foi muito bom, os […] recepcionistas são simpáticos e educados como todos os atendentes da região do estado de Illinois. A localização é fácil, quem estiver de carro tem que ter um TOLL PASS de pedágio ou muitas moedas trocadas pois os pedágios de Chicago (50mim) e do aeroporto O'Hare (30mim) dirigindo até lá, não tem atendentes. Atenção, não passa ônibus nas proximidades, tem um Walmart e um Outlet próximo, mas passa por mais um pedágio (sem atendentes), para chegar lá. Minha avaliação geral para o hotel é boa para quem tem algo a fazer nas proximidades, quem quer visitar Chicago tem que dirigir 50 minutos, 2 pedágios e um engarrafamento diário para entrar na cidade. Ficaria hospedado lá mais uma vez. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today a 29-inch LED-backlit monitor that boasts an IPS panel, slim profile, full ergonomics and comprehensive connectivity for corporate, financial services, digital signage and medical environments, among others. Joining the award-winning MultiSync EA Series lineup, the EA294WMi performance-driven monitor enhances multi-tasking capabilities, work performance and productivity through its panoramic view, 21:9 aspect ratio, uniform color brightness and 2560 x 1080 resolution. It also consumes 29 percent less power than dual 19-inch monitors with similar LCD panel technology. The EA294WMi offers split-screen Picture by Picture/Side by Side (PBP) functionality, which enables two sources to display information on one monitor. The monitor is TCO Certified Edge 1.2, a supplemental certification for innovative products with characteristics at the forefront of environmental design or social responsibility. "The EA294WMi continues a long tradition of NEC monitors that have forged new and better ways of working for people across a spectrum of industries," said Kevin Christopherson, Director of Product Marketing for Desktop Displays at NEC Display Solutions. "This 29-inch MultiSync model fulfills the NEC mantra of innovation, while keeping the environment top of mind through its LED backlighting, reduced power consumption and fewer hazardous materials. Professionals from the trading desk to advertising, video and content editing suites will find more space with which to accomplish their work. The monitor effectively replaces two SXGA 19-inch monitors in a very elegant way, yet can still enable multi-screen setups." This widescreen model features IPS panel technology, providing exceptional image and color quality, with wide viewing angles (178° horizontal/vertical) and ergonomic adjustability. ControlSync technology allows users to control up to six EA294WMi displays in a multi-monitor configuration. Upon establishing one unit as the master, users are able to control many performance attributes of the multi-monitor setup in unison through the single monitor. Smart sensing technology automatically detects work conditions to determine the proper display brightness with ambient light and human sensors, while a comprehensive input panel, including DisplayPort, HDMI/MHL, DVI-D, VGA and 4-port USB hub, connects users to the latest peripherals and future-proofs the investment. Select smartphones (MHL-embedded) also can be connected via HDMI/MHL for HD quality images or video. Having essentially two monitors in one cabinet gives users several advantages, including lower acquisition, cable replacement and warranty costs. The MultiSync EA294WMi includes the following features: 29-inch, 21:9 IPS panel with LED backlighting 2560 x 1080 resolution and 300 cd/m2 brightness 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (1000:1 typical) Wide viewing angles of 178°H/178°V and 100 percent sRBG support 97 dpi, which provides better readability, and 6ms response time Thinner bezel and slimmer chassis with OSD touch controls Picture by Picture (PBP) functionality Enhanced efficiency with Microsoft Office programs, especially Excel Ergonomic adjustable stand with 130mm height-adjust, tilt, swivel and pivot Six inputs, which include (1) DisplayPort, (1) HDMI/MHL, (2) DVI-D and (2) VGA D-sub inputs, and provide future-proof connectivity Integrated 4-port USB 2.0 hub (2 rear, 2 side) and integrated speakers (1W x 2) ControlSync for multi-screen setups Smart sensing technology (ambient light and human sensors) NaViSet Administrator 2.0 DICOM Simulation TCO Certified Edge 1.2 ECO Mode, carbon footprint meter and cost meter ENERGY STAR 5.1 and TCO 6.0 compliant EPEAT Gold The MultiSync EA294WMi ships with a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty, and will be available in early May 2013 at an estimated street price of $799.
Nice. Wide (but not too wide) gaming, be able to split web and video with a lot of width for both, and more. But having said that... could never buy one when Tempest/Auria monitors are half the cost.
Yeah, I have two Auria EQ276W 27" IPS monitors myself,.... I'd sooner buy a Dell U2913WM 29" at ~$650 or an LG 29EA93-P 29" at ~$700 then this NEC for ~$800. Either way I would want three of them,....
64:27 ("21:9" is the rolls off the tounge easily marketing name) is nice and all... but why is it that we still can't do a thing about vertical pixel resolution? Other than that, the extremely wide display ratio is probably more interesting in portrait orientation than landscape orientation for any potential multi-monitor setups.
Common. For this price one should expect at least 32 or 34 inch in size and maybe 1200p resolution instead of 1080p. I would have love one with this specs.
This is a nitch (niche) product that likely wont see widespread adoption. If it doesn't suit your needs then you're outside of the nitch clearly. However, lets investigate what some people are saying. To keep the ratio of 21:9 but increase the resolution of 2560x1080 you're looking at the following: ~2560x1080 ~2844x1200 ~3413x1440 ~3793x1600 The first two can be omitted leaving 3413x1440 and ~3793x1600. Not quite hitting 4K monitor territory (3840 x 2160) but getting there. Now how much would one think a 3413x1440 or ~3793x1600 monitor would cost? Probably close to 4K monitor prices,....maybe ~$2000 to ~$3000 USD if not more,..... Also note that the nitch market this ratio was developed for wouldn't benefit from an increased resolution or the massive increased cost and it doesn't make much sense to talk about increased resolution,.....in order to get away from 1080.
Why not just wait for the Samsung Its suppose to be 5k static contrast ratio. All these are all using IPS 1k. Not that i'm in the market for one but it would seam to be better buy if specs & price align.
Lol, how is a 29' screen in anyway usable without cranking your neck to an absurd degree when in portrait mode?
If it were bezel-less you could rotate those 90 degrees stick 5 side by side to have mega screen awesomesauce.
2844x1200 is the perfect resolution imo. Because it doesn't stress the GPU as much as the next 2. But 29" is to small for a monitor with this aspect size. I would prefer a monitor that have the vertical size of a normal 27 incher. I donno how much is that, to lazy to calculate...
Well we are talking about an NEC display here. NEC ~30" monitors would typically cost about ~$2000 USD for 2560x1600 (for the models I have come across). That's more of a standard resolution then 2844x1200. 27" monitors are typically 2560x1440 (16:9). To have a 21:9 ratio monitor with 1440, I already calculated that resolution out to be about ~3413x1440. Either way its going to be very expensive,......very,..... 21:9 ratio was started with the HDTV market for media (movies) that could use it. For this type of media, raising the resolution does nothing but raise the price of the unit for the target demographic,...and it would likely be an aggressive price hike,.....very aggressive,....
No. I was talking about having a 21:9 monitor with a vertical size of a 27" 16:9 monitor. Is probably 34" or something...Anyways, I would buy one if for that size and a 1200p resolution.

This caught my eye immediately when I entered the shop and I just had to buy it for my forthcoming nephew. I got the smallest size which in this range is 6-12 months (not all ranges go down this low) which I was really pleased with as everyone will be buying 0-6 months clothes for him and I wanted something different and bright aside from boring pastels. Present not yet given but it is fab. Wish they did funky bodywarmers like this for adults - I'd wear one!!

This reversable gilet is a must-have for the Autumn/Winter months. The pink is not too bright, which can be a problem on a lot of girls toddlers' clothing. The reversable print is dinosaurs, which makes a refreshing change to flowers or fairies for little girls. My daughter is 16 months old, but I purchased the 12-18 month size and this is ample. It will definitely last her through the winter months.

Brought for my 14 month old. Nice fit, cosy. Ideal with reversible waterproof side choice. Nice design, good to wear with hoody or long sleeves.

Newegg: Olympus E-PL1 12.3 MP Camera (Black) with 14-42mm lens is $279.99 + Free Shipping
If you missed out on the Olympus E-PL1 (Gold) camera deal last week, right now the Olympus E-PL1 12.3 MP Camera (Black) with 14-42mm lens is on sale for $279.99 at Newegg.ca - thanks pvp for the heads up!
As a third generation of the Olympus PEN series, the E-PL1, sporting a mirror-less & prism-less Micro Four Thirds system, has a lot going for it. For a small camera with interchangeable lens, it features a large-size MOS sensor as well as a TruePic V Image Processor, a Live View with built-in image stabilization and automatic settings that are easy to use - much like a point & shoot. Long story short, it makes a decent starter kit for novices who demand DSLR quality as well as portability in their camera. If you're interested, we suggest you put your order in sooner rather than later as we've seen deals like this come and go. The camera ships free from Newegg.ca and a 1-year limited warranty is included.

Fireworks lit up the sky at the Relay for Life event last Friday. Though the rain came and went throughout the evening, the blazing lights were still ignited, as if to symbolize the triumph of the survivors present.
The Relay for Life event raised $58,600 for the American Cancer Society this year. Though co-chairs Ali Dower and Tracy Powers wanted to raise $70,000, they were very pleased with the amount raised, said Dower.
About 27 teams turned in money for the event and more will be raised this month.
After years of legal wrangling, the fight might be over for Kenneth S. Bartley.
On Friday, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals denied Bartley's request to set aside his 2007 guilty plea for the shooting at Campbell County High School. In April 2007, Bartley plead guilty to second degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder for the events that transpired on November 8, 2005.
A drug raid on the Eagles's Nest in Caryville stopped eight people from flying high on Friday.
Members of the Caryville Police Department had executed an undercover operation at the tavern, located at 312 John McGhee Boulevard, prior to going in on Friday, according to Caryville Police Chief Bill Widener.
After several weeks of the ongoing investigation passed officials felt it was time to act. Caryville Police, in conjunction with the 8th Judicial Drug Task Force were able to obtain warrants and execute a raid at the establishment.

KEOSAUQUA, IOWA -- It was a big day of giving Friday at Van Buren High School; not only did students packs thousands of meals for the food insecure but the National Honor Society had its annual blood drive.
More than 65 students and staff were expected to donate today.
Because of the recent flu outbreak across the country, not as many people were able to donate.
Now, it is more important than ever for those that are able to donate to do so.
"I think it's a good cause because you get to save three lives every time you donate and that's good for your school, and for your community and for yourself," said Abby Rider, Van Buren Junior.
"Giving blood is a great way to contribute to society because it just helps people who are in need out and the kids learn -- I think it's a way for them to be exposed to a different way of giving and kind of get exposed to the medical community and understand some of the science and issues behind blood and blood donation," said Adam Perkins, NHS Sponsor.
The students who donated today said donating is quick and painless and they encourage everyone to donate.
