Petco Animal Supplies
A Junk Bond Party, but Will the Fireworks Fade?
The junk bond market is enjoying a tremendous boom, but some investors are wondering how much longer this bull market in higher-yield, higher-risk securities can last.
Insider Trading Alleged in Petco Buyout
The Securities and Exchange Commission said Wednesday that it sued an investor or investors for allegedly making illegal insider trades ahead of the announcement of Petco Animal Supplies' $1.8 billion buyout deal. The S.E.C. said the defendants, who have not yet been identified, reaped about $862,000 in profits by purchasing call options for Petco's stock […]
Petco to Go Private in $1.8 Billion Deal
Expect a big surge in shares of Petco Animal Supplies on Friday, after two buyout firms announced they would take the pet-supply chain private for $29 per share in cash. The price, which has been offered by Leonard Green & Partners and Texas Pacific Group, represents a quite healthy 49 percent premium to Petco's closing […]

Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Autoimmune dysautonomia encompasses disorders of peripheral autonomic synapses, ganglionic neurons, autonomic nerve fibers and central autonomic pathways mediated by neural-specific IgG or effector T cells. These disorders may be idiopathic or paraneoplastic, subacute or insidious in onset, and may present as a limited disorder or generalized pandysautonomia. Pandysautonomia is usually subacute in onset and severe, and includes impaired pupillary light reflex, anhidrosis, orthostatic hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, gastrointestinal dysmotility, sicca manifestations, and bladder dysfunction. Limited dysautonomia is confined to 1 or just a few domains, is often mild and may include sicca manifestations, postural orthostatism and cardiac arrhythmias, bladder dysfunction or gastrointestinal dysmotilities. Diagnosis of limited dysautonomia requires documentation of objective abnormalities by autonomic reflex testing, thermoregulatory sweat test or gastrointestinal motility studies.
The most commonly encountered autoantibody marker of autoimmune dysautonomia is the neuronal ganglionic alpha-3- (acetylcholine receptor) autoantibody. This autoantibody to date is the only proven effector of autoimmune dysautonomia. A direct relationship has been demonstrated between antibody titer and severity of dysautonomia in both alpha-3-AChR-immunized animals and patients with autoimmune dysautonomia. Patients with high alpha-3-AChR autoantibody values (>1.0 nmol/L) generally have profound pandys autonomia. Dysautonomic patients with lower alpha-3-AChR autoantibody values (0.03-0.99 nmol/L) have limited dysautonomia.
Importantly, cancer is detected in 30% of patients with alpha-3-AChR autoantibody. Cancers recognized most commonly include small-cell lung carcinomas, thymoma, adenocarcinomas of breast, lung, prostate and gastrointestinal tract, and lymphoma. Cancer risk factors include past or family history of cancer, history of smoking or social/environmental exposure to carcinogens. Early diagnosis and treatment of the neoplasm favors neurologic improvement and lessens morbidity.
Autoantibodies to other onconeural proteins shared by neurons, glia or muscle (eg, antineuronal nuclear antibody-type 1 [ANNA-1], CRMP-5-IgG, N-type voltage-gated calcium channel, muscle AChR and sarcomeric [striational antigens]) serve as additional markers of paraneoplastic or idiopathic dysautonomia. A specific neoplasm is often predictable by the individual patient's autoantibody profile.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
< or =0.02 nmol/L
< or =0.02 nmol/L
< or =0.03 nmol/L
< or =0.02 nmol/L
ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR (MUSCLE AChR) BINDING ANTIBODY
< or =0.02 nmol/L
< or =0.02 nmol/L
Neuron-restricted patterns of IgG staining that do not fulfill criteria for ANNA-1 may be reported as "unclassified antineuronal IgG." Complex patterns that include non-neuronal elements may be reported as "uninterpretable."
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Antibodies directed at onconeural proteins shared by neurons, muscle and glia are valuable serological markers of a patient's immune response to cancer. These autoantibodies are not found in healthy subjects, and are usually accompanied by subacute neurological symptoms and signs. It is not uncommon for more than 1 autoantibody to be detected in patients with autoimmune dysautonomia. These include:
-Plasma membrane cation channel antibodies (neuronal ganglionic [alpha-3] and muscle [alpha-1] acetylcholine receptor; neuronal calcium channel N-type or P/Q-type, and neuronal voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies). All of these autoantibodies are potential effectors of autonomic dysfunction.
-Antineuronal nuclear autoantibody-type 1
-Neuronal and muscle cytoplasmic antibodies (CRMP-5 IgG, glutamic acid decarboxylase and striational)
A rising autoantibody titer in previously seropositive patients suggests cancer recurrence.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Negative results do not exclude autoimmune dysautonomia or cancer.

Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA):
Before testing, patient's serum is preabsorbed with liver powder to remove non-organ-specific autoantibodies. After applying to a composite substrate of frozen mouse tissues (brain, kidney, and gut) and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat antihuman IgG is applied to detect the distribution and pattern of patient IgG binding.(Pittock SJ, Kryzer TJ, Lennon VA: Paraneoplastic antibodies coexist and predict cancer, not neurological syndrome. Ann Neurol 2004;56:715-719)
Radioimmunoassay (RIA):
Goat antihuman IgG and IgM is used as precipitant in all assays. Cation channel protein antigens are solubilized from neuronal or muscle membrane, in non-ionic detergent, and complexed with a selective high-affinity ligand labeled with iodine (I). I-labelled recombinant human glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) antigen is used to confirm GAD65 autoantibody (when suspected from immunofluorescent staining pattern).(Griesmann GE, Kryzer TJ, Lennon VA: Autoantibody profiles of myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome. In Manual of Clinical and Laboratory Immunology, Sixth edition. Edited by NR Rose, RG Hamilton, et al. Washington, DC, ASM Press, 2002, pp 1005-1012; Walikonis JE, Lennon VA: Radioimmunoassay for glutamic acid decarboxylase [GAD65] autoantibodies as a diagnostic aid for stiff-man syndrome and a correlate of susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus. Mayo Clin Proc 1998;73[12]:1161-1166)
Muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR) modulating antibodies are detected by incubating the patient's serum for 14 hours with viable, non-innervated, monolayer cultures of human muscle cells. Percent loss of surface AChR is quantitated by probing with (125)I-alpha-bungarotoxin.(Howard FM Jr, Lennon VA, Finley J, et al: Clinical correlations of antibodies that bind, block, or modulate human acetylcholine receptors in myasthenia gravis. Ann NY Acad Sci 1987;505:526-538)
Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA):
A mixture of sarcomeric proteins extracted from innervated rat skeletal muscle is used as antigen to detect striational antibodies (IgG, IgM, and IgA).(Cikes N, Momoi MY, Williams CL, et al: Striational autoantibodies: quantitative detection by enzyme immunoassay in myasthenia gravis, thymoma, and recipients of D-penicillamine or allogeneic bone marrow. Mayo Clin Proc 1988;63:474-481)
Western Blot (WB):
WB is performed when immunofluorescence assay screening for antineuronal nuclear antibody-type 1 is not interpretable due to interfering autoantibodies. A mixture of neuronal antigens extracted aqueously from adult rat cerebellum is denatured, reduced, and separated by electrophoresis on 10% polyacrylamide gel. Full-length recombinant human CRMP-5 antigen is used to confirm CRMP-5-IgG.(Yu Z, Kryzer TJ, Griesmann GE, et al: CRMP-5 neuronal autoantibody: marker of lung cancer and thymoma-related autoimmunity. Ann Neurol 2001;49[2]:145-154)
Cell Binding Assay (CBA):
Patient serum is applied to a composite slide containing HEK293 cells: 1) transfected with AQP4 (M1 isoform); 2) nontransfected. After incubation and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat IgG reactive with human IgG is applied to detect bound patient IgG.(Lennon VA, Kryzer TJ, Pittock SJ, et al: IgG marker of optic-spinal multiple sclerosis binds to the aquaporin-4 water channel. J Exp Med 2005;202[4]:473-477)

carenostenHappiness interview: Caren Osten Gerszberg.
I got to know Caren a few years ago through a mutual friend. She's a writer who covers travel, education, and is also a co-founder of the site Drinking Diaries ("from celebration to revelation"), along with Leah Odze Epstein. They just co-edited a thought-provoking anthology, Drinking Diaries: Women Serve Their Stories Straight Up.
Caren writes often about issues that touch on the subject of happiness, so I was interested to hear what she had to say.
Gretchen: What's a simple activity that consistently makes you happier?
Caren: Reading by the fireplace. Playing Scrabble with my kids. Waking up before dawn to catch an airplane. Watching a movie in bed. Spending Friday night dinner with my family. Hiking with my two dogs and watching them lope through the woods. Rock climbing to a point where I can look at a vista and let it seep in. Taking evening walks with my husband to the Long Island Sound, where we look at the water in

This is one of my husbands most requested crock-pot recipes. So easy to make and really tastes good and warms you up on a cold winter day. This is also nice to make for a party or get together, just set out cups and a ladle and let your guests serve themselves.
Warming drink perfect for cold winter days. Nice for parties too!
- Pour gallon of apple cider into crock-pot (save gallon jug to store any leftover cider, just warm up in the microwave in a cup)
- With a vegetable peeler strip off the zest of the orange and add it to the crock-pot.
- Cut orange in half and squeeze juice, being careful not to add the seeds, into the crock-pot.
- Snap each cinnamon stick in half or into thirds and along with the cloves add to the pot.
- Cover and simmer on low 4-6 hours (or longer).

Talk story about the Tricycle Garage for children at the Hotel Plaza, inspired by the success of "Eloise", a story by Kay Thompson, about a little girl who lives at the Plaza. Humbert Gatti, executive chef, created a dessert for children, called the Tricycle Treat, and it is featured on the recently issued menu for children. He said that kids like something messy, so the dessert consists of strawberry and vanilla ice cream on top of spongecake full of whipped cream.

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
William Shakespeare
"This life we live is not for the faint of heart, each move we make affects the next and backtracking isn't allowed. So with each step we plant it must be firm and confident even with the uncertaintanties that lie ahead."
"We can fight with our destiny ...but one day you should be ready to admit it , surrender to it .....ok there is no ultimate failure or success..."
Basil C S
"It's choice--not chance--that determines your destiny."

William Jennings Bryan
"We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours."
Dag Hammarskjold
"Destiny is something not be to desired and not to be avoided. a mystery not contrary to reason, for it implies that the world, and the course of human history, have meaning."

The Raven Summary & Study Guide Description
The Raven Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:
This detailed literature summary also contains Further Reading on The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.
Preview of The Raven Summary:
"The .Raven" was first published in the New York Evening Mirror on January 29, 1845, and received popular and critical praise. Sources of 'The Raven" have been suggested, such as "Lady Geraldine's Courtship" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens, and two poems, "To Allegra Florence" and "Isadore" by Thomas Holly Chivers. Over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, "The Raven" has become one of America's most famous poems, partly as a result, of its easily remembered refrain, "Nevermore." The speaker, a man who pines for his deceased love, Lenore, has been visited by a talking bird who knows only the word, "Nevermore." The narrator feels so grieved over the loss of his love that he allows his imagination to transform the bird into a prophet bringing news that the lovers will "Nevermore" be reunited, not even in heaven. In "The Philosophy of Composition," Poe's own essay...

July 13th, 2012
By Eric Letendre
My Dad made me nuts when I was a kid.
He's a great guy and everything but he is the kind of guy that loves to argue.
You know the type, you say it's black he says it's white. You say left, he says right.
I could never win a game of basketball against him either. If I won he would declare that it was not an "official" game.
What a guy.
Typical Northeastern New England Yankee!
Luckily, I became a dog trainer and learned how to deal with guys like my Dad and it is also the secret to loose leash walking. Once you learn and apply this secret, your life will become much easier.
No more endless arguments with people and no more pulling from your dog.
You see, it all boils down to two words:
Ever notice that when you pull back on the leash your dog actually pulls harder.
That's a reflex, as you apply pressure your dog applies counter pressure. Most people have a hard time walking their dogs because they are trying too hard. The trick is to make sure there is no pressure in the leash.
Once the pressure is gone, you can get your dog to walk with you instead of fighting the entire walk.
…before you think I am two bricks shy of a full load, I know that your dog is pulling the second you put the leash on. I know that you can't walk two steps without your dog bolting to the end of the leash.
That is why loose leash walking does NOT start with walking.
You first get control before you start walking. Plant your feet, no forward progress until you have control and the leash is slack.
It does take some practice and I can help you.
Here's where to go:
Ultimate Online Dog Training Course
All the best,
P.S. I never argue with my father anymore. I just agree with him and avoid triggering his opposition reflex. I learned a few years back that you can be right or you can be happy. When it comes to my Pop, I choose to be happy.

In honour of the Hairy Bikers, I have decided to set up a new monthly linky dedicated to them. I love their simple family friendly meals and I enjoy watching them travel and cook around the UK and on foreign shores.
I have decided to call the linky 'Bloggers Know Best' as a spin on one of their TV series/cookery books called 'Mums Know Best'. You can enter any recipe that you like as long as it is one from the Hairy Bikers. There is normally no theme but I may do one or two themed months during the year just to spice things up a bit.
This first linky will run from September 4th to October 4th. Once the first linky is completed, I will do another post announcing the next one and will select a few of my favourite entries and put them in the blog post. I have included a few rules below to make it fair for everyone:
- You cook any recipe you like from the Hairy Bikers as long as it is related to the theme (if there is one)
- You must not copy the recipes word for word onto your blog posts. Quite a few of the recipes are already online so please link to them if they exist or put the book and the page number on your blog post so other people can find the recipe.
- If you make a couple or more adaptations to the recipe then please put the new version of the recipe on your blog if you want to, but always link to the original recipe in the same way as described in 2.
- You can submit the recipe to other blogging challenges as long as the other challenge allows it.
- It must be a new post published in the month of the linky. You are allowed to reblog old posts if you want to.
- Please link to the post announcing that month's linky in your blog post or to the Hairy Bikers Bloggers Know Best page on this blog if someone else is hosting the linky.
- You must display the badge (see below) on your blog post
- If you are on Twitter, please tweet about your post using the hashtag #bloggersknowbest and include @Jos_Kitchen in the tweet. I will retweet any that I see.
- Please try and comment on a couple of the other entries in the linky. I am sure your fellow bloggers will appreciate the visit.
- I will add all the entries to my Hairy Bikers Bloggers Know Best Pinterest Board
- Any questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
- Above all, I hope you have fun with this linky and make new blogging friends!

Within hours of a judge passing down a decision upholding Pennsylvania's strict new voter ID law, the state announced that it was scrapping two voter registration initiatives, in part due to strains placed on its resources by the ID measure.
According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Pennsylvania will not go forward with programs to expand online voter and absentee ballot registration. A spokesman for the Department of State told the Inquirer that county election officials had expressed concerns about being able to manage the initiatives on top of the state's controversial new voter ID requirements. Earlier reports have suggested that the state has a lot of work left to do in order to fully implement the measure.
Stephanie Singer, the top election official in Philadelphia, criticized the decision, however, saying claims that the voter registration programs created more work for election workers was unfounded.
"It's a shame," Singer told the Inquirer of the Department of State's decision. "These are the kinds of reforms that help us do our jobs better. Less time on paperwork means more time training election officials and following up on issues that arise."
Absentee voting and online registration are frequently used by voters who have limited mobility or access to polling stations. Studies have suggested that such systems reduce cost, workload and inaccuracies in the voting process.
Pennsylvania's latest move comes as critics of voter ID continue to accuse the state of working to obstruct the voting process and discourage voter registration. Attorneys have appealed the ruling upholding the state's law.
Also on HuffPost:
You're an average voter in Pennsylvania. The night before Election Day, your wallet goes missing, leaving you without immediate access to any of the identification you'll need to vote at your local precinct the following morning. This would be a problem under Pennsylvania's proposed photo ID law, since blocked by a state judge. While many people in this situation may have backup forms of identification, studies have shown that a significant percentage of would-be voters don't. The state's safeguard against the immediate disenfranchisement of people in this situation would be a provisional ballot cast on the day of the election. But this doesn't mean your vote counts, yet. Anyone who casts a provisional ballot is required to "appear in person at the county board of elections" within six days of the vote to provide proof that their ballot was valid. If you're able to take time away from your job to do this, the process still requires a would-be voter to either show up with valid ID -- a replacement driver's license would cost $36 and considerable time -- or to sign an affirmation that you are indigent and not able to afford the fees associated with acquiring a photo ID. Even if you make a rapid and somewhat expensive turnaround to get a replacement ID -- or alternatively swear under oath that you are too poor to pay for such a document -- there is no guarantee that your vote will end up counting. Many elections are largely decided before provisional voters have a chance to verify their validity, which could serve to discouraging them from following up with election officials or leave them effectively disenfranchised. In 2008, only 61.8 percent of all provisional ballots cast were fully counted. If strict photo ID measures were implemented, however, the number of provisional ballots submitted would likely increase, as would the requirements for voters hoping to make them count. (Photo: AP)
Eleven percent of eligible voters say they lack current government-issued photo IDs, a survey on the potential impact of voter ID laws found. You live in Georgia and you're one of them. Like 66,515 other Georgians, according to a recent study from the Brennan Center for Justice, you also lack vehicle access and live more than 10 miles from an office that issues state ID. As a registered voter who's skipped the past few elections, you decide you'll vote this year. But you spend your life working multiple jobs to provide for your family, not tuned in to a news cycle that may have told you about a voter ID law that changed the requirements. If you were aware of the measure, you'd know that you have to get yourself to a state office during business hours to procure a photo ID in order to vote. According to the Brennan Center, these facilities are often only open part time, especially in areas with the highest concentration of people of color and in poverty. While the state does offer a free photo ID initiative, the Brennan Center points out that many of the offices provide confusing or inaccurate information about what Georgians need to do to get one. This may be a tough task as you juggle a strenuous work schedule with other commitments -- and that's assuming you're aware of the requirement. But you're not, so you head to your voting precinct on election day with no access to an acceptable form of identification and vote with a provisional ballot. To verify that ballot, you'll have two days to present appropriate photo ID at your county registrar's office, which at this point wouldn't be doable. (Photo: AP)
As an elderly Tennessee resident, you've made a decades-long Election Day habit of traveling to your local polling place and exercising your franchise. It's an important day for you, and it gives you the rare opportunity to leave your house, where you live alone. For a number of years, you've had an identification card that allows you to vote. But thanks to the state's strict new voter ID law, that document will no longer be sufficient. Reports found that 230,000 Tennesseans older than 60 possess driver's licenses that don't have photos on them. Such ID will not be accepted at polling places in November. While the state has agreed to issue photo IDs free to anyone who asks, a recent study found that only a tiny percentage of potential targets have applied. Perhaps that's because people like you weren't aware of exactly how the change was going to affect them. Maybe you weren't even aware of the change. Poll workers tell you that you can cast a provisional ballot on Election Day. You'll have until "the close of business on the second business day after the election" to find an applicable piece of identification -- which you don't have -- and present it to a designated elections official. Whether it's your lack of an acceptable form of identification, the difficulty in finding transportation back to the elections official, or the prospect of having to go through the drain of the entire process again, you're discouraged, and give up. (Photo: AP)
You're a resident of Kansas in your early 60s, fully expecting to vote in November. Your driver's license is your primary form of ID, but you rarely carry it anymore. You don't drive and you haven't traveled abroad in years, leaving your passport expired or lost. In the months before the election, you changed addresses, and for some reason never received a notification from the state reminding you that your license had expired. On the day of the election, you head to your polling place, unaware that you're about to be told your license is expired and therefore invalid according to the state's new voter ID law (Kansans over the age of 65 can use expired IDs, but you're not there yet). You're given a provisional ballot and informed that you must now "provide a valid form of identification to the county election officer in person or provide a copy by mail or electronic means before the meeting of the county board of canvassers." While Kansas says it has historically counted around 70 percent of its provisional ballots, this year provides a different landscape. The next steps can be somewhat difficult, and with the enacting of the state's photo ID law, the use of such ballots will undoubtedly become more commonplace. Faced with disenfranchisement, you must now race against the clock to have your vote included. With no other acceptable forms of ID available, you go about the process of renewing your license. According to the state, this requires you to make your way to a state office, where you'll have to provide a number of identifying documents and pay the fee. By the time you can find someone to chauffeur you through this process -- public transportation is complex and unreliable where you live, even if you're in an urban center -- most of the major election results have been announced on the news. You decide the undertaking isn't worth the time. (Photo: AP)
You're a first-time voter in Indiana who registered to vote at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles using your Social Security number, a process that also required you to get a state identification card, which you placed in your wallet. As a recent high school graduate who commutes with other workers to your full time job on a farm, you rarely need to present identification, so you didn't even bother to get a new ID card when it went missing from your locker a few weeks before the election. You risk potential firing when you travel to your polling place with other members of your community on voting day, but you're intent on participating in your first election. Without valid photo ID, however, you don't get to pull the lever. Under Indiana's new photo ID law, you're instead required to fill out a provisional ballot. But you're told you'll still need to jump through additional hoops that could prove too demanding. Now tasked with making visits during business hours to both the Indiana BMV to get a replacement ID, and then to the county elections board to verify your ballot, you decide keeping your job is more important than voting. (Photo: AP)
Pennsylvania, Part II
Viviette Applewhite was the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Pennsylvania's new voter ID measure. She's a 93-year-old great-great grandmother who has voted regularly for decades. She claimed she didn't have access to any of the documents she'd need to vote. With no driver's license and no birth certificate, needed to get a photo ID, Applewhite said she'd be disenfranchised by the law. And she wasn't the only one. A number of other plantiffs in the ACLU case against Pennsylvania's photo ID law claimed they had been unsuccessful in attempts to get copies of their birth certificates and other papers due to complexities in the state's record-keeping. Most claimed the measure would take away their vote. The law has since been blocked for this election cycle.
Georgia, Part II
You're a longtime resident of Georgia, but you've just recently returned home from a six-month out-of-town assignment from your job. You get into town on the Monday before Election Day. Most of your possessions are still being shipped from halfway across the country. Old friends invite you to a bar to catch up, but in the process of removing your driver's license from your wallet to present to a bouncer, it cracks in half, leaving it officially invalidated. Without a valid license, you won't be able to cast a ballot the next day. You'd renew it and choke down the $20 or more fee for the replacement, but the documents you need to present are in the moving truck. An election official informs you that you can fill out a provision ballot on Election Day. To verify that ballot, you'll have two days afterward to present appropriate photo ID at your county registrar's office. Either you're telling the moving company to drive twice the speed limit for the next 48 hours straight, or you're accepting your disenfranchisement. (Photo: AP)

Album review: Adele, '21'
3 stars (out of 4)
Few contemporary singers do unrequited love as righteously as British vocalist Adele Adkins. Part of a recent wave of U.K. neo-soul singers including Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Corrine Bailey Rae and Estelle, Adele sounds simultaneously bruised and defiant. Without histrionics or excessive melisma – the bane of way too many over-emoting pop singers these days – Adele cuts straight to the heart of a song and puts the emphasis on emotion rather than acrobatics.
Her second album, "21" (XL/Columbia), named after her age when she recorded it, is an improvement over her 2008 debut, "19." Already it has sold more than 600,000 copies in the U.K., a rare double-platinum release in that country, and now it is making its U.S. debut. In contrast to the folk-based songs of the first album, "21" beefs up the rhythmic drive and the drama of the arrangements. A handful of hot-shot producers, including Rick Rubin, Ryan Tedder and Paul Epworth build a more elaborate platform beneath Adele's aching vocals.
Too bad the songs themselves aren't better. It's only the sheer conviction of Adele's voice that prevents "Don't You Remember" from drowning in its own sap or the tortured turns of phrase in "Set Fire to the Rain" from collapsing. It's best to focus on the sheer sonic splendor of Adele's voice set against some dramatic arrangements, especially the rumbling regret of "Rolling in the Deep" and the piano-based melancholy of "Turning Tables."

'Sex and the City' and the 'big-boobed Irish nanny'

Posted by Kelly Fincham at 8/11/2009 11:31 AM EDT
So, "Sex and the City" is looking for someone to play a "naturally sexy big-boobed Irish nanny called Erin."
Just who (or whom?!) do they have in mind?
And who's this fictional nanny going to work for? Samantha? Charlotte? Miranda? Would either of these three characters hire a "sexy big-boobed Irish nanny?"
Is Sarah Jessica having a baby in "Sex and the City"? Is this the next plot "development" for her and Chris Noth in this worn-out franchise?
And if she is, given that Sarah Jessica actually has a home in Ireland, wouldn't she know that the "naturally sexy big-boobed Irish nanny called Erin" doesn't actually exist in Ireland.
One woman who won't be getting the role is the British, erm, model Jordan, now known as Katie Price.
Jordan, who has quite a substantial amount of cleavage, has been pooh-poohed for the role.
The British tabloids are having a field day slagging off poor Jordan/Katie for being "too old" (at 31!0 for the role.
"Insiders," and "friends" told the Sun "Jordan was never going to be able to play that part. She's deluded. All the botox in the world won't shave a decade off her.Bosses wanted someone fresh-faced, natural and young. Jordan is none of those things. She may have the big boobs, but they don't look natural."
The so-called friend (really, if this person were a friend of mine I'd un-friend them rapidly) added that the movie bosses thought that Katie was totally unsuited to the role.
"The character has to be good with children. Jordan might be a good mum, but she doesn't come across as a warm, fun figure who goes cart-wheeling with someone else's kids."
Which brings me back to the original question.
Who on earth is going to be picked for this role?

I LOVE this bad boy. Just like us chicks are always looking for the one great lipstick that's going to change our whole outlook on life, I'm also searching for the hoodie that's going to finally be what keeps me warm on cold MI days. And I found it! I's have 10 of these and wear them to work, if I could. So happy with this!
For a while, I forgot about the hoodie love. First, last year I had a bad experience with the concert vendor giving me the wrong band's hoodie. Then, it got warm as ever outside, and I was like, whoa, I can't wear a hoodie in this! Besides, my other hoodies were all kind of, eh. But this one? This is a hoodie I wear while lounging in my PJ's. It's a hoodie I can wear under a shell. It's one that attracts cats because, you know, it's just so dang soft. I thought a saw a sheep coming up behind me, but then I just realized it was the faux fur hood! It's like your favorite boyfriend's hoodie, only without the annoying boyfriend part. Oh, and it says "mountaineering" on it, which just give you BAMF status! Because jeez, I actually DO go mountaineering, but, if I didn't, now I could pretend I did.
I was looking for something cute and warm. After trying on several different hoodies, This had the best fit. I went up a size for a relaxed fit, it still looked great! Also, this product is both soft and comfy.
This hoody is so soft and comfortable. It's perfect for the crisp fall weather, the soft breeze of spring, cool nights of summer and it gives you extra warmth under jacket for brisk winters!

I have been to pets at home at Lakeside AND Pitsea several times over the last few weeks to buy crickets for my bearded dragon. They have either got small ones - i need LARGE ones, or the ones that they do actually have are usually reduced because most of them are DEAD. Whats the point of selling these reptiles if they havnt even got the food available to feed them. Considering that my dragon needs on average 2 pots per week i think this is pretty poor for a major nationwide store.

Did you know that the best way to reduce automotive repair costs is to maintain your vehicle properly?
Our auto repair technicians are trained to perform factory-recommended maintenance services for most vehicles.
Avoid auto repair costs and maintain the safety, reliability, and resale value of your car by visiting Haller Complete Automotive today.
Get more miles out of every gallon of fuel by maintaining your vehicle with a few simple services. By making fewer stops at the pump, you'll save money!
1. Air Filter
An air filter clogged with dirt, dust or bugs chokes off the air and creates a "rich" mixture-too much gas being burned for the amount of air-which wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power. Replacement intervals depend on where and how you drive, so have your technician check your air filter during regular maintenance.
2. Spark Plugs
A vehicle normally has four, six, or eight spark plugs, which fire as many as 3 million times every 1,000 miles, resulting in a lot of heat and electrical and chemical erosion. A dirty spark plug causes misfiring, which wastes fuel. Have your technician replace your spark plugs as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
3. Oxygen Sensors
When it comes to improving your vehicle's fuel economy, this is one of the top ways to make a noticeable difference. Properly functioning oxygen sensors are good for the environment and can save hundreds of dollars in fuel costs over their life. Replacement intervals for oxygen sensors are similar to those for spark plugs, ranging from 30,000 miles to 100,000 miles, depending upon the type of sensor.
4. Properly Inflated Tires
When tires aren't inflated properly, it's like driving with the parking brake on. underinflated tires can cut fuel economy by 2% per pound, which means if your tire pressure is 27 pounds per square inch (psi) when it should be 32 psi, you've reduced your gas mileage by 10%! Your Auto Care technician will make sure your tires are properly inflated when you come in for preventive maintenance, but it's a good idea to check your tire pressure regularly between visits, also. A simple tire gauge can quickly tell you if you're wasting gas because of underinflated tires.
5. Oil & Filter Change
Clean oil reduces friction between moving parts in your engine, increasing fuel economy and reliability. It also removes harmful deposits, extending the life of your engine. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil and filter change schedule. Most maunfacturers recommend changing your engine oil and filter every 3 month/3,000 miles.

We Also Accept:
Ball Joints: Have you ever seen a car on the side of the road, sitting on the ground, with the front wheel stuffed up inside the fender? Well, that's what happens when a ball joint breaks. It's fairly scary, and quite dangerous. Replacing them at the first sign of looseness is always the best solution, and checking them at every oil change interval is a great habit to get into. We have a variety of brands in stock that will fit every budget.
Shocks & Struts : If your car feels more like a boat, swaying up and down endlessly over every bump, or if it has a sad saggy stance, you may need new shocks or struts. They typically lose pressure after years of dampening bumps in the road. Replacing them often makes your car feel amazing again. We carry struts with and without coil springs in a vast array of brands. Vehicle manufacturers recommend shock or strut replacement at 50,000 miles. Did I mention we inspect them at no charge.
Leaf Springs & Shackles : You don't appreciate how awesome working leaf springs and shackles are until they are rotted or broken. They make an unbelievable racket when they break, and usually make your vehicle quite unstable. It's sort of like riding an ill tempered bull, but you don't have a rope to hold on to. At Haller Automotive we can tame that bull and get you back on the road safely.
