President Obama and Democrats continue to criticize governor Mitt Romney's statement that the country's becoming an entitlement society and yet.
-- look at this -- Fox News poll finds that 63%.
Of likely voters think.
He's right that many Americans are too dependent on government.
And it's similar Gallup poll right after the Democratic Convention found nearly two thirds of independents.
Think government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses is there a disconnect between the president.
And independent voters joining us now to talk about a Brentwood house.
He's the communications director for the Democratic National Committee Sean Spicer.
Media communications director for the Republican National Committee good to see both Brad let me start -- here.
That -- Democrats.
Were polled on this.
Will put it on the screen 64%.
Said the government should do more.
Not less.
Isn't the president and his party out of sync with the majority of Americans and two thirds of independents who believe the opposite.
Well no not at not at all and in fact this question doesn't get the heart.
Of what Mitt Romney said we Mitt Romney.
Just -- rode off half the country saying that they were dependent victims he won't talk about good government programs -- -- talking about people.
He wrote off 50% of people so this that really get to the heart.
Of what what Mitt Romney said now the polls showed that what Mitt Romney said has been disapproved if you just play -- remarks for voters.
Disapprove two to one.
By you know by voters -- that's what we've been talking about is.
Is what he is what he said what he said was -- half the country wasn't worthy of his time or attention in this presidential election.
Sean let me go to -- earlier this month they CNN poll found that governor Romney leads President Obama among likely independent voters.
By a substantial fourteen points.
-- -- this to 40%.
And he also leads among independents in critical swing states like Ohio and Florida and -- US news and world report points out there's been almost no mention of it in the media wonder why.
Well I think what you're -- with what you see are starting to see is it.
Independents are largely part of the 60% of Americans that think that this country's off on the wrong track.
And right now that they are giving a stark contrast to what this election presents in terms of more.
Government -- a cop -- you know world country or a free enterprise.
System that -- governor Romney offers.
One that that rewards innovation entrepreneurship but -- the bigger thing he also see in the numbers is.
In eight of twelve battleground states the Democrats have really lost a lot of their voter registration and when you look at those battleground states.
In 2008 President Obama won a state like Wisconsin by fourteen points Nevada my thirteen New Hampshire and Iowa by ten respectively Colorado by nine.
And now those all those battleground states are dead even and I think a lot of that is attributed to the independent saying that they're ready to come home that -- -- starting to pay attention -- this race.
And they're ready for I -- a clear choice and -- go with governor Romney because they are your enemies Conrad Brett.
Let me let me move on to another poll of Bloomberg poll -- found one in five voters are what they call persuade -- -- And more of them lean toward governor Romney look at that 41% of those persuade a bulls say.
Romney is laid out a better economic vision compared to 25%.
Saying the president have.
He is the president in danger of losing to persuade a bulls -- you know those folks may dictate the election.
Well look out -- if you won't find this surprising battle thanks and you know Sean is got some wishful thinking here first of all there are -- Wisconsin's not tied these races are not tied the president has.
Oh lead in the battleground in the battleground states and -- irrespective of of what one hole in my idol among independents is is the well we -- -- today.
It rotten that Romney's not gonna just be voted on by independence I mean -- you know -- sometimes maker break 888 or well they may.
They mayor that they may -- that they may or they may not but one hole.
On independence is is not is not the final word on generally they -- number one in five voters so I mean that's that's a well thought out and hurt you have a Greg Greg -- CNN poll taken three weeks ago is not.
What is not going to be this positive as to how the outcome of this election and that's why put there is out Paul to make sure it wasn't just -- the whole outlook.
Greg they're not Greg there's not the only one -- -- there's not one battleground state.
Where the president doesn't have a lead including Northrop on it when I'm doing -- -- -- not breaking it.
Down by voters Democrats Republicans independents persuade a bulls -- that's what we really wanted to look at here today because we found it rather interesting.
Well John let me tell you for the last touches -- out of time here.
A veteran pollster whit -- Says that undecided voters historically choose the challenger on Election Day and I'll quote him from the Wall Street Journal.
You would expect the remaining undecided voters to break not exclusively but disproportionately.
For Romney.
Rather than Obama.
Does that make the Wednesday debated and those -- after more relevant more vital for Americans.
I think a lot of people are going to be tuning in to kind of hear this contrast that exist.
I think the key word there was.
After four years if you're happy with with the economy where it is when -- debt where it is right now and as you point out the word is persuade -- I think we were persuaded in 2008 but now it's time for results -- people aren't seeing them.
So I think at this point what they really want to do is continue to hear from Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan about their plan to move America forward.
They've seen being.
That would be good -- they don't -- doesn't mean that didn't work out.
Exactly they were -- out I think he's right now they want to learn more about governor -- time and and and move this country in new direction our bread you get the last word.
Well I look I think that would be great if they would lay out a specific plan and and that's what we would love -- the debates.
You know Paul Ryan said yesterday that he didn't have time to tell the American people about how about their tax plans of Sean how I will hold governor resigns his assets are actually no I don't call girl I'm -- Brad Paul Ryan yeah.
-- -- -- President and just -- the -- that means is zero he was asked about the -- he twice said revenue neutral that's zero that's a digit that's the math.
And aluminum bat the bat this how you get there right that's don't have plans on the website they'll look at a Brad.
-- actually they did they do I got right back as you put forward on like the president -- -- we don't go on and on front Brad -- house Sean Spicer gentlemen thanks very much.

OverBoard founders Dan and Joel were enjoying the wet and sandy fun of travelling in Thailand when inspiration struck.
Surfing, sailing, leaping between boat-taxis and hanging out on the wet decks of dive boats had been endangering their valuables for weeks before they discovered the yellow waterproof bag that was to change their lives. Suddenly everyone they met wanted to know where they could get one of those handy bags, and the entrepreneurial light went on.
OverBoard now produces a wide variety of water-proof bags in every color, shape and size you could need, and they continue to tirelessly explore new ways to provide the highest quality and sharpest looking, waterproof protection.
Were sorry, it appears Over Board is out of stock.
More may be on the way, just sign up for new styles and we will keep you notificed on when new product will drop.

Nuclear Waste Cleanup:
Preliminary Observations on DOE's Cleanup of the Paducah Uranium Enrichment Plant
GAO-04-278T, Dec 6, 2003
Additional Materials:

In 1988, radioactive contamination was found in the drinking water wells of residences located near the federal government's uranium enrichment plant in Paducah, Kentucky, which is still in operation. In response, the Department of Energy (DOE) began a cleanup program to identify and remove contamination in the groundwater, surface water, and soil located within and outside the plant. In 2000, GAO reported that DOE faced significant challenges in cleaning up the site and that it was doubtful that the cleanup would be completed as scheduled by 2010, and within the $1.3 billion cost projection. GAO was asked to testify on (1) how much DOE has spent on the Paducah cleanup and for what purposes, and the estimated total future costs for the site; (2) the status of DOE's cleanup effort; and (3) the challenges DOE faces in completing the cleanup. This testimony is based on ongoing work, and GAO expects to issue a final report on this work in April 2004.
Since 1988, DOE has spent $823 million, adjusted to fiscal year 2002 constant dollars, on the Paducah cleanup program. Of this total, DOE spent $372 million (45 percent) for a host of operations activities, including general maintenance and security; $298 million (36 percent) for actions to clean up contamination and waste; and almost $153 million (19 percent) for studies to assess the extent of contamination and determine what cleanup actions were needed. DOE currently projects that the cleanup will take until 2019 and cost $2 billion to complete--nine years and $700 million more than its earlier projection. The $2 billion, however, does not include the cost of other DOE activities required to close the site after the uranium enrichment plant ceases operations, including final decontamination and decommissioning of the plant and long-term environmental monitoring. DOE estimates these activities will bring the total cost to over $13 billion through 2070. DOE has made some progress in cleaning up contamination and waste at Paducah, but the majority of the work remains to be done. For example, while DOE has removed over 4,500 tons of scrap metal, over 50,000 tons of contaminated scrap metal remain. Similarly, while DOE's pilot test of a new technology for removing the hazardous chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) from groundwater at the site had promising results, the technology will not be fully implemented for over a year. DOE's key challenge in completing the Paducah cleanup is achieving stakeholder agreement on the cleanup approach. For example, differences between DOE and the regulatory entities--the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency--over the cleanup scope and time frames resulted in an almost 2-year dispute, from June 2001 to April 2003, that disrupted progress. All three parties are working to develop an accelerated cleanup plan, but continued cooperation will be required in order to advance the cleanup.

There were quite a few that played on our sentiment, from Budweiser's "Brotherhood" to Jeep's Oprah-narrated "America Will Be Whole Again" to Dodge's ode, "Farmer."
Then there was the racy GoDaddy ad that made us want to cry, burn our eyes out and have the Men in Black wipe out our memories.
In it, model Bar Refaeli shares a long kiss with a red-cheeked "nerd" that prompted its own hashtag: #NoDaddy.
"Oh my gosh those kissing noises," tweeted Chicago college student Grace Barnes.
A no-call to rue
Niners fans will tell you they were robbed of a possible win when referees failed to call a penalty.
In the final quarter, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick attempted a pass to the Niners' Michael Crabtree in the end zone.
What happened next depends on who's doing the talking.
Niners' fans will say Smith deliberately interfered with Crabtree, making it impossible to catch the ball.
Ravens' fans will say it doesn't matter, the ball was too high for Crabtree to catch.
Niners' fans will say a penalty call should have given the team a first down and a great chance to take the lead with less than two minutes left in the game.
Ravens' fans will say the ball was uncatchable -- that it sailed way over Crabtree's head.
But if you ask New England wide receiver Donte Stallworth, there should have been a penalty flag, even if the ball seemed like it was too high to catch.
"For all y'all saying that ball was uncatchable for Crabtree in the endzone... DUH!! Because dude held thee sh*t outta him..." he tweeted.
Crabtree told Yahoo Sports it was "a missed call."
"I don't want to talk about it," he said. "I don't want to think about it."
That's OK, the 49ers fans will likely do it for him.

Claude Morais and Brian Wolk have long sung the praises of Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. Not only have the duo made it their home for years, but they've also dedicated much of their La Vie en Ruffian column to calling out the finer qualities of their favorite stomping ground. It was really only a matter of time, really, before the aesthetic of the neighborhood's hipster denizens made it into their collection.
The designers have always had a thing for posh-meets-punk, and for Spring 2013 it melded together beautifully. This season, the posh came in the form of toile de Jouy prints on charmeuse and chiffon, metallic-threaded jacquard, tie-neck blouses, and that good ol' Ruffian staple: ruffles. The punk manifested in boxy silhouettes, cropped boy jackets, slouchy trousers, swooshing skirts, and seams that felt just a little undone. And for that final dose of dressed-down cool: Chuck Taylors. Those were worn with every look.
Kate Lanphear Talks Street Style
Lanphear recently sat down with Ruffian's Brian Wolk and Claude Morais to discuss the industry, her personal style, and why she loves her work. "My job is to make people dream, and to get them excited about dressing in a new way," she says. Below, a few more highlights from the interview.
On the current obsession with street style: "It's a by-product of social media. There is a true wealth of information online now, but the coverage first began in Japanese street style magazines. At the time, the economy was more robust—people were buying goods from luxury brands, but they didn't necessarily know how to wear them. People were hungry for ideas, but magazines were just shooting full looks, so if it didn't resonate with you on the runway, these street style mags were a great source of inspiration."
On growing up in the South: "I love the culture of the South, and the people there, but living in New York is a dream. There was a time when everyone around me said this dream would never come true. I still pinch myself every day. When I work, I always think about that girl in Virginia—what I'd want to wear, what I dreamed about then, and what I would have wanted to see in a magazine. For that girl, fantasy and fashion collide in simple images with a real spirit, like a gorgeous woman getting a coffee or hailing a yellow cab."
Her favorite lie: "'Your ass looks small in that!'"
Donatella Brings that Versace Glamour to the Whitney Museum Art Gala
>> For the second year running, the Whitney Art Musem Gala was Donatella Versace's party. Editors — Olivier Zahm, Lauren Santo Domingo, Glenda Bailey — commingled with designers — Peter Som, Moises de la Renta, Ruffian's Claude Morais and Brian Wolk — and a smattering of models like Chanel Iman and Hana Soukupova. Christopher Kane's Versus designs even made an appearance — the Fall 2009 crystal shoes were on Byrdie Bell's feet, and Taylor Momsen — who seems to be close with the Versaces, particularly Allegra, changed into a black Spring 2010 Versus frock for the Studio Party post-Gala Dinner.
Donatella was fashionably late to the party — two hours in, she was nowhere to be found; perhaps she was still upstairs tending to VIPs — as was Lindsay Lohan, who swept in, all blonde hair and gold dress — earning comparisons to Donatella's trademark look. Lohan said she came "for Donatella" before beelining to Brian Atwood for a chat. Keeping with the "art chic" theme, the walls of one whole room at the party downstairs was covered in paper for guests to scribble on.
Sneak Peek! Mise en Scene by Ruffian at Anthropologie
Not too long after we announced Ruffian was designing a collection for Anthropologie, the fruits of Brian Wolk and Claude Morais's labor are here to devour. Deemed Mise en Scene, literally meaning "put in the scene," the line is broodingly romantic, powerful and subtle at the same time. The outerwear is especially handsome, as is this Jacquard Gala Dress ($228) on the right. Prices range from $38 for tights up to $348 for a coat. There are also a few candles, the brand's book Ruffian: Inside Out, as well as wine, water, martini, and champagne glasses.
Fab Read: Ruffian, Inside Out
Want to know how a book comes to fruition? Well, at least in Ruffian designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais's case? Step one, bump into photographer Jamie Isaia at the National Arts Club: "We started talking and told her we loved her work and that we should do something creatively together. It became a one-year project, and she documented our creative process," according to Wolk. Next, meet Martine Assouline, co-founder and co-publisher of Assouline publishing house, and have her look at the 2,000 or so pictures Isaia took. Then, have Style.com executive editor Nicole Phelps agree to pen the book and voila!
Ruffian: Inside Out ($19) chronicles Ruffian's creative process for their Spring and Fall 2008 collections, from initial sketch through fabric research, to fittings and the runway show. The irony is that Wolk and Morais have less than a decade of experience yet already have a book. Impressive.

The Dusters California lifestyle company has released a Doors 'Music's Over' skateboard.
Doors manager Jeff Jampol released the following statement:
"The Doors were born out of the streets of Venice and Los Angeles, wedded to the counterculture, embracing of art, theater, politics, self-expression and – above all – freedom. Alternative lifestyles – whether skateboarders, surfers, poets, or environmentalists – all embrace the same principles found in The Doors, their music, and their words. In the same way, we embrace the idea of partnering with a company like Dusters to help expand different lifestyles, passions, ways of thinking/living, and the tools with which to do just that. I also happen to think they're really cool."

Loading... The Brides of Rollrock Island (edition 2012)by Margo Lanagan
Work detailsSea Hearts by Margo Lanagan
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I hate this cover. If I hadn't read [b:Tender Morsels|2662169|Tender Morsels|Margo Lanagan|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320416424s/2662169.jpg|2687395], then I might have passed this up. But I know what this author is capable of so I'm not going to let that unfortunate cover design trip me up. Hated this book. Forced myself to read 50 pages, then gave up. Too bad, since I love mermaids and stories about selkies. I just couldn't get into it. Pros: * Beautifully written * Interesting concept * Multiple 1st person POV done well Cons: * Kind of depressing * Style takes a little bit to get into * You want to scream at the men I really love the style of this novel. After raging about YA books that constantly flip-flop between characters (thank you Twighlight), it was so nice to see a story carried across time by multiple characters. Told in different parts by different narrators the book was hard to get into. It doesn't move very swiftly but takes it's time in telling the story and that takes a little getting used to. However, once I got past the first third I couldn't put it down. Picked on as a child the witch Misskaella, who knows how to bring a woman out of a seal, gets her revenge on her sisters and the town when she enchants them with her sea maidens. Dark, and brooding this is a story of love, enchantment, misery and heartbreak on an isolated and small rock of an island. I loved the way the story rambled through the pages, like the ferry out to sea. I also loved all the names in the story and there are many - they were just so interesting - Misskaella, Neme, Knocknee, Ann Jelly and Odger are just a few examples. Good Misskaella is an ugly child, something of a throwback according to the people of the island, when she reaches puberty and discovers that she has power of the local seal colony and can make seal-wives she uses this power to have vengeance for a childhood of slights. This is a multi-narrator tale told with a very deft touch by the author so that even though it is a collection of narratives it comes together and builds a brilliant whole. Lanegan explores male-female relationships via the plot device of selkies, needless to say men don't come across so well. This is not a love tale, it is sad and spiteful and full of magic. Overall - This is a great fantasy book and Misskaella's story is very engaging. no reviews | add a review

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of April 12, 2010
Bridget and Owen angsted over her pregnancy test as, at Jackie M, Nick and Jackie talked about Owen's commitment to Jackie and how good he is for the company. Jackie also admitted she'd been wrong about Bridget and her constant Brooke cheerleading. Mother and son had a heart to heart about their marriages. In Nick's office, Bridget told Owen that the test is positive. She's pregnant! She started freaking out, and Owen tried to point out that there is a high probability her baby is Nick's. "This isn't some punishment for you cheating on your husband," he assured. Bridget disagreed, pointing out she'd lost three babies and fretting about how dangerous it was for her to carry to term. Owen refused to believe her baby could be his, noting he loves his wife. Bridget wanted to go tell Nick ASAP but Owen begged her to wait until they were sure of what to do. Later, Owen came home to find Jackie had set up a romantic dinner. As for Bridget, she arrived home to Nick waiting with lingerie (for her!) and wine. A guilt-stricken Bridget wasn't "feeling very sexy" and she rebuffed his amorous advances. She couldn't keep quiet anymore, insisting, "I have to tell you what happened!"
Donna came home to the mansion to find a somber Stephen waiting for her. She instantly realized something was wrong. Stephen explained that Beth's condition had worsened considerably on their cruise and she was a lot sicker than before. Eric came home, and then Beth emerged, shocking everyone with her haggard appearance. She reunited with Donna and Eric but was clearly befuddled. Beth showed them all her keepsake lace, which had photos of her family sewn into it. Beth thought she was still a caterer and had just done a party for Eric. Eric sweetly praised her skill. Donna couldn't hold back tears. Stephen then explained to Donna and Eric the details of Beth's deterioration, how she wanders off, fears water, etc. He admitted he needs help and Eric said he and Beth could move into the mansion. Touched, Donna hugged her hubby.
A guilt-racked Bridget got ready to tell Nick the truth as, back at their places, Owen and Jackie reaffirmed their love. Nick assured Bridget they could handle "whatever comes up" and kissed her passionately. He carried her to bed, where they made love. Afterwards, Bridget was all distant and sad...and she ended up telling Nick she's pregnant! She said she'd taken a home test and he was stunned. She apologized for missing her birth control pills and he told her not to apologize and suggested they take a breath and wrap their minds around the news. Then, Owen called Bridget to meet up with him as soon as possible. Owen flipped when Bridget revealed she'd told Nick she's pregnant. He urged her not to tell Nick the rest, noting she'd be making a huge mistake.
At the Forrester mansion, Stephen came downstairs after putting Beth to bed and then noted how unfair it was to Donna that Stephanie was staying in the guest house. On cue, Stephanie let herself in, calling to Eric about whether the martinis were mixed. Eric told Stephanie that Stephen and Beth were staying for a while. Awkward! Stephen explained the tragic circumstances and Donna started crying again. Beth came downstairs and when she saw Stephanie, the scene instantly grew tense. Stephen quickly took Beth for a walk and Stephanie voiced her concerns to Eric. Then, she and Donna argued, and Donna noted that every word that comes out of Steph's mouth is suspect. Stephanie insisted Eric would eventually come around. Donna begged Eric not to give in to Stephanie. Elsewhere on the property, Stephen asked Stephanie to leave. Then, Beth asked to speak to Stephanie alone. She, too, asked Stephanie to go, even starting to pack for her. Beth grew increasingly frantic, insisting she has to protect her girls.
In bed, Ridge caressed Brooke and teased her that they were off on a tropical island vacation. Brooke fantasized about turquoise waters and "making love" all day long. She quickly snapped out of it, however, when she began thinking about her parents, Donna, and Stephanie all living under the same roof. Ridge suggested playing hooky and lying in bed all day to take her mind off things, but Brooke insisted that she needed to go check on her mother. Ridge expressed his sympathy to Brooke about her mother's illness. Brooke worried that Stephanie's presence would upset Beth.
At the guest house, Stephanie told Pam that she felt sorry for Beth. Pam advised her sister not to let anything derail her plan to get Eric back. She was suspicious of the timing of Stephen and Beth's arrival. "Think about it, Steph. You move into the guest house, and then SUDDENLY the place is crawling with Logans?" she conjectured. "There's only one thing to do: fumigate!" she exclaimed. Stephanie let her sister's advice sink in, and left.
At the Forrester mansion, Katie and Donna fretted over their mother's condition. Katie wondered about the lace that her mother seemed to always be clutching. Stephen filled her in, explaining that it was a comfort item. Hope wanted to look at the lace, but Beth snatched it back violently. "Who are you?" she snapped. Hope was devastated that her grandmother didn't recognize her. Stephen pinpointed a bigger problem, however. "We have to keep Stephanie away from your mother!" he instructed his daughters, explaining how much of a toll the altercation the previous night had taken on Beth. On cue, Stephanie burst through the door. "Good, you're all here!" she said brightly. She announced that she had something to discuss with everyone. Brooke arrived just in time to hear Stephanie's attempt to persuade the group that Beth belonged in a facility where she could get professional help. Ridge burst in the door as everyone began to pile on Stephanie. "She wants to send our parents packing, Ridge," Katie announced. The Logan daughters all began speaking at once, begging Eric not to change his mind. Eric finally spoke up, saying that Beth would stay. Amidst all the chaos, Beth freaked out. She stood up and shook her lace-filled fist at Stephanie. "Shut up! You shut up!" she shrieked. Beth's episode illustrated Stephanie's point. She told Eric that things would just get worse if they did not seek medical care for Beth. Donna couldn't believe that Stephanie had so little compassion for her dying mother. "Just leave us in peace!" Donna hissed.
Ridge convinced Stephanie to go back to the guest house with him. The Logan family was relieved to see her go, and they led Beth up to her bedroom to rest. Donna sought comfort in Eric's arms. "It breaks my heart to see her like this!" she sobbed. She begged her husband to ask Stephanie to move out.
Back at the guest house, Stephanie and Pam worked on Ridge. "Donna is taking advantage of the situation!" Stephanie charged. Pam chimed in that the whole mess was distracting Eric from getting back together with Stephanie. The sisters discussed how frustrated they were that the Logan girls always used their sexuality to get the men that they wanted. Stephanie pointed out that Eric wasn't entirely blameless, since he fell for Donna's prancing-around-in-a-bikini act so quickly. Ridge escaped the girl talk and went back up to the main house to comfort his dad. He found Eric confused. "I feel for Donna and her family, but I don't want to hurt your mother, either," he confessed sadly.
Donna burst into the guest house to confront Stephanie. She begged Stephanie to back off, and to simply let their family be there for her mother. Stephanie countered that it was wrong for everyone to keep Beth at the Forrester home. She went even further, contending that Donna herself should get out of Eric's life.
Donna urged Stephanie to move out of the guest house and give Beth some peace, but Stephanie refused, accusing Donna of putting Eric "right in the middle of this mess." She said Donna and her family were the ones who needed to leave. At the main house, Stephen and Brooke tried to keep Beth calm and assure her Stephanie would go. Downstairs, Ridge apologetically finished up a business call, noting he had to make a visit to Forrester International. Then, he and Eric discussed what's going on with Stephanie. Ridge said this was Eric and Stephanie's "moment." Back at the guest house, Donna brought up Stephanie's situation with Ann. Stephanie noted that, unlike Ann, Beth had years left to live. And she needed round-the-clock medical care. Stephanie refused to leave, insisting she's trying to think of what's best for everyone. Meanwhile, Eric agreed with Ridge that he's not being fair to Stephanie or Donna and went to see Stephanie. Upstairs, Donna checked in with Brooke, fearing that Eric was with her right now out of pity. Then, Donna sat with Beth, who initially mistook her for Brooke. Reduced to tears, Donna wept in Stephen's arms. At the guest house, Eric told Stephanie he'd always want her close to him and they hugged. Donna and Beth went out for a walk out by the pool and Beth got agitated while a teary Brooke told Ridge to come home from Europe as soon as he could. When Stephanie raved, assuming she and Eric were reuniting, he stopped her and asked her to move out. He loved Stephanie and wanted to run Forrester with her, but couldn't walk away from Donna!
Whip and Taylor cuddled in bed as Whip lauded the 2000-plus ways he loves her. When Whip mistakenly thought Shakespeare wrote "How Do I Love Thee," Taylor corrected him, noting it was Elizabeth Barrett Browning. He decided to stick to what he does best: kissing her! After some necking, they talked honeymoons and then moved on to talking about the drama over at Chez Forrester.
Stephanie surmised that Eric had chosen Donna and told him the Logans are taking advantage of kindness and generosity. Back at the main house, Beth was still bewildered and Donna and Brooke tried to assure her that Stephanie wasn't a problem for them. Stephen brought Beth a sandwich and tried to persuade her to let her ire at Stephanie go. In Malibu, Bill comforted Katie, who was mourning her mother's deterioration. "We only have the now, baby," he murmured, holding her close. Katie vented about how Stephanie was affecting Beth, just wanting her mother to have some peace. Back in L.A., Beth insisted Eric was too nice to fight Stephanie and it was up to her. Stephen and the girls tried to figure out how to keep Beth away from Stephanie. In the guest house, Eric and Stephanie went another round about her moving out and the state of his marriage. "If your future is with this woman, then you've got to tell me right now," charged Stephanie. Eric admitted he just didn't know. But he did love her. Stephanie called him a "little boy who wants to have his cake and eat it, too," and said she'd leave tonight.
Beth excused herself to go to the bathroom, reminding a worried Donna, "I am still your mother!" when she tried to follow her. Then, Eric came in and told Donna, Brooke and Stephen that he'd asked Stephanie to leave. Back at the beach house, Bill suggested they move Beth in with them, and Katie was relieved and moved. Bill valued being part of a family. The two of them kissed, sweetly, and Katie wondered how much time her mother had left. Meanwhile, Beth showed up at Stephanie's door to again warn her away from her daughters. Stephanie tried to walk her back to the main house, but Beth would have none of that. As Donna realized Beth had gone AWOL, Stephanie and Beth began to argue out by the pool. Stephanie got fed up, grabbed her keepsake lace and tossed it in the pool. Then, she walked away. Once she was gone, Beth reached for her lace...and fell in! Poor Beth began to drown! Brooke asked Stephanie if she'd seen her mom, as Donna looked out by the pool...and began screaming.

Musical Instruments
Packing instructions:
- When a stringed instrument is transported by air, it may be exposed
to dramatic changes in temperature and pressure, which can cause the
instrument's headstocks to crack or snap off. To prevent possible
damage, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the
strings are loosened so that the tension is reduced.
Air Canada is not liable for damage caused by failure to properly prepare a musical instrument for travel. - When transported as checked baggage, musical items must be properly packaged in a rigid and/or hard shell container specifically designed for shipping such items.
Musical instruments as carry-on baggage:
- Air Canada will try to accommodate smaller musical instruments (such as violins) as part of a passenger's carry-on baggage allowance only if the instruments can be stowed in an approved area for cabin baggage (i.e. overhead bin, underneath passenger seat).
- Customers are reminded to arrive prepared to check the item, as it is never guaranteed that it can be accommodated on board due to passenger loads, aircraft limitations and/or storage space available.
Musical instruments as checked baggage:
- If checked in separately, a musical instrument counts as one piece of baggage towards the maximum number of checked bags allowed by your fare type.
- If your baggage count (musical instrument + number of other bags to be checked) exceeds the maximum number of items allowed by your fare type, additional checked baggage charges will apply.
- For oversized instruments measuring more than 115in/292cm (e.g. guitars, tubas, double basses), please contact your Air Canada Cargo local sales office for handling.
Exception: Air Canada Cargo cannot handle shipments from or via the US as passengers are considered as unknown shippers for cargo purposes. Please contact another shipping company for this service.
In some cases, a seat may also be purchased for these instruments. Contact Air Canada Reservations for more information.

May 21, 2013 — I still have hair on my head as I write this, but by the time you read this I'll be bald as a cue ball.
I've been twisting and turning this shaved head thing around in my brain for about a month now, and it feels as if I've already jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, and I'm waiting to slip down into the icy water below my feet. I'm just holding on for the splash, and it's too late to turn back now.
Writing about this in the newspaper for the past few weeks just adds to the public curiosity. It seems nearly everywhere I go people want to talk about the event, and that's a good thing. A lot of people think it's really funny — the idea of me with a shaved head. One fellow shavee even said, "We'll both be ugly!"
May 21, 2013 — It's true. Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of the summer season with the year's first three-day weekend, barbecues, the Coca Cola 600 and the Indianapolis 500 — long dubbed the greatest spectacle in racing.
While the weekend provides a wonderful opportunity for family get-togethers and family fun as well as an extra day off work, it also provides an opportunity for each of us toremember and reflect upon the real reason for the holiday — a time to pause and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country and our freedom.

Director of Athletic Training dies in Mount Union bus crash: A bus carrying the Mount Union wrestling team was involved in a crash late Tuesday that resulted in the death of Director of Athletic Training Dan Gorman. Read the story »
By Marta Lawrence
Snow angels welcomed mourners late Wednesday to a Mount Union campus service for Dan Gorman, director of athletic training and associate professor of human performance and sport business.
Created by members of the wrestling team and other students, the angels were a tribute to Gorman, who was killed when a bus carrying him, the wrestling team, coaches, statisticians, an athletic trainer and athletic training students collided with a snowplow while returning to campus after a match at Ohio Northern on Tuesday.
Hundreds attended the two-hour service led by the campus chaplain, who encouraged student-athletes, faculty and members of the university community to share their own stories of Gorman. He had worked at Mount Union for 25 years.
"One of the greatest attributes of a small, tight-knit campus community like Mount Union's is our ability to join together in times of grief to share memories and offer support to one another," Dr. Patricia Draves, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the university, wrote in an e-mail to students, faculty, staff and alumni.
"As director of athletic training and as an associate professor, Dan worked to positively impact the lives of many students and student-athletes at Mount Union for 25 years," NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement issued from the NCAA Convention in San Antonio. "On behalf of the entire NCAA membership, I want to express my deepest sympathies for this tragic loss."
Other tributes were offered on the Mount Union Facebook page.
"Thank you for helping so many people, Mr. Gorman," Jennifer J. Reed wrote on the social networking site. "You were a super athletic trainer and all-around nice person. You will be missed."
"A better mentor could not have been found," wrote Rhonda Boyko. "Future athletic training students are going to miss being taught about life as an ATC by one of the most positive athletic trainers I have ever met. Sadly, the world inside and outside of sports will never be the same. My heart goes out to the Gorman family and the entire MUC community, past, present, and future."
A public visitation and formal funeral service will be conducted on campus this weekend for Gorman, 52. He is survived by his wife Gigi and four children.
Condolences and memories may be shared on Mount Union's Facebook page, sent to firstname.lastname@example.com or mailed to the Office of Academic Affairs, University of Mount Union, 1972 Clark Ave., Alliance, OH 44601.
Officials at Mount Union plan to share all communications with the Gorman family.

EPA Cleanups: GE-Pittsfield/Housatonic River Site
Groundwater - Overview
Groundwater along the Housatonic River in the Pittsfield area generally flows toward, and discharges up into, the river. Groundwater contamination and any associated light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) on the surface of the groundwater would typically migrate toward the river and discharge into the river in the absence of engineering systems designed to contain or remove the contaminated groundwater and LNAPL.
GE has installed and continues to operate a number of systems at the GE Plant Area and certain former oxbow areas to address NAPL and groundwater issues. This includes the operation of NAPL containment, recovery and treatment systems at the East Street Area 2 - South and Lyman Street Areas. In addition, GE operates NAPL recovery systems at the East Street Area 1, Newell 2 and Unkamet Brook Areas.
GE has implemented groundwater and NAPL monitoring, assessment and response programs, and has completed baseline monitoring at all five of the GMAs. GMAs 1, 3 and 4 are being monitored under interim monitoring programs until long-term monitoring programs are recommended by GE and approved by EPA and MADEP. GMAs 2 and 5 are subject to EPA and MADEP approved long-term monitoring programs. A detailed description of the GMAs is provided below:
- GMA 1 - Plant Site 1 including the 40s Complex, 30s Complex, 20s Complex, East Street Area 2-South, East Street Area 2 - North, East Street Area 1 - North, East Street Area 1 - South, Lyman Street Area, Newell Street Area II, Newell Street Area I, and Silver Lake Area.
- GMA 2 - Former Oxbow Areas J and K.
- GMA 3 - Plant Site 2 including the portion of the Unkamet Brook Area east of Plastics Avenue.
- GMA 4 - Plant Site 3 including the Hill 78 Consolidation Area, the Building 71 Consolidation Area, the Hill 78 Area - Remainder, and the portion of the Unkamet Brook Area west of Plastics Avenue.

The overall objectives of the groundwater program at the GE/Housatonic River Site are to ensure that contaminated groundwater and non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) do not adversely impact surface waters, sediments, and biota, including those in the Housatonic River, Silver Lake, and Unkamet Brook, and also to ensure that contaminants in groundwater do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health via inhalation of vapors migrating from groundwater into occupied buildings. These two objectives are consistent with the classifications of the Site groundwater under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) (310 CMR 40.0932).
The groundwater quality standards for the Groundwater Management Areas (GMAs) are based on the groundwater classification categories designated in the MCP. These categories are as follows:
- GW-2 - Groundwater that is a potential source of hazardous vapors to indoor air; groundwater shall be classified as GW-2 if it is located within 30 feet of an existing occupied building and the average annual depth to groundwater is 15 feet or less.
- GW-3 - All groundwater at these GMAs shall be classified as GW-3 because it is a potential source of discharge to surface water.
GE shall be required to meet the GW-2 and GW-3 groundwater standards set for the compliance wells located in the GMAs, or take actions to ensure that groundwater constituents migrating into surface water do not pose a unacceptable risk to the environment or occupants of nearby buildings.
The standards for NAPLs shall be as follows:
- Containment, defined as no discharge of NAPL to surface waters and/or sediments, which shall include no sheens on surface water and no bank seeps of NAPL.
- For areas near surface waters in which there is no physical containment barrier between the wells and the surface water, elimination of measurable NAPL (i.e., detectable with an oil/water interface probe) in wells near the surface water bank that could potentially discharge NAPL into the surface water, in order to prevent such discharge and assist in achieving groundwater quality Performance Standards.
- For areas adjacent to physical containment barriers, prevention of any measurable LNAPL migration around the ends of the physical containment barriers.
- For NAPL areas not located adjacent to surface waters, reduction in the amount of measurable NAPL to levels which eliminate the potential for NAPL migration toward surface water discharge areas or beyond GMA boundaries, and which assist in achieving groundwater quality Performance Standards.
- For NAPL located at depths of 15 feet or less from the ground surface and within a horizontal distance of 30 feet from an existing occupied building, a demonstration that constituents in the NAPL do not pose an unacceptable risk to occupants of such building via volatilization and transport to the indoor air of such building. Such demonstration may include assessment activities such as: NAPL sampling, soil gas sampling; desktop modeling of potential volatilization of chemicals from the NAPL (or associated groundwater) to the indoor air of the nearby occupied buildings; or sampling of the indoor air of such buildings.
GE has proposed and implemented, and will continue to implement, corrective actions including containment, recovery, and treatment of NAPL and impacted groundwater, if and when any of the NAPL standards are not met.

The LA County Coroner's Office released a statement regarding Paul Walker's official cause of death. The 40-year-old passed away from a combination of "traumatic and thermal injuries," meaning the impact of the car along with the fire. His friend Roger Rodas died upon impact, so burning was not noted as a factor of his death. His family has requested that in lieu of gifts, donations be made to Paul's charity Reach Out Worldwide. So sad.
In addition to his Reach Out Worldwide charity work, Walker left a legacy of generosity including a story that was shared yesterday. Soldier Kyle Upham and his now wife Kristen were shopping for a diamond ring shortly before being sent again to Iraq in 2004 but thought the ring was too expensive that they were looking at. They struck up a conversation with Walker that was in the store and they left without the $9,000 ring. They were called back to the store, where they were presented with the ring. Walker had purchased the ring on his tab for them but asked to keep it a secret. Yesterday jewelry store employee Irene King shared it to show the actor's true character. King said "He really did put his money where his mouth is and did good for this world." What a great guy.

Six shopping days left before Christmas
Posted at: 12/18/2012 5:32 PM
| Updated at: 12/18/2012 7:09 PM
By: Ray Levato | WHEC.com
Believe it or not, Christmas is now just one week away. With a lack of snow it doesn't feel like Christmas is upon us but if you have not finished your holiday list --- there's only six more shopping days left.
When it comes to Christmas shopping, some people get it done early, others wait until the last minute.
Monday at Eastview Mall was jammed, Tuesday wasn't as busy but there were plenty of shoppers – last minute shoppers.
Eastview Mall Manager Mike Kauffman expects a busy last few days before Christmas. "You know, great start to the season and what we've seen and it was expected, the last couple weeks have flattened out a bit and the reason for that is this year we have five weekends between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last year we had four, so we expected it to flatten out but when it's all said and done, we expect it to be a very good season."
There was some controversy this year when the big retailers extended their Black Friday hours into the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. Shoppers are likely to see expanded store hours in the final days before Christmas.
As of last week, the International Council of Shopping Centers reports about 65-percent of shoppers had completed their Christmas shopping. That's lower than the 69-percent who had it all done a week before Christmas a year ago.

OMG. Frreekids uploaded the movie If I Were You 变身男女 to youtube but I can't watch it. It says it's blocked in the US.
can any one of u watch it in your country?
someone uploaded Speed Angel with Vietnamese sub-title on youtube! There is also English and Chinese sub-title on it as well. The video is in Mandarin. Enjoy!

Ladycoco, I couldn't watch the video on youtube, either. But I found the link to watch "If I Were You" on the chinese website 56.com.
Here's the link to it.
Thank you for the link zz!
I think the storyline of Speed Angel is quite good, but JL does play such a small part in the movie.
The storyline of If I Were You is not as good as I anticipated. But I like the part where he danced and the part where he sang his song Celery. He's so, so, so cute!

The shadow of the tsunami – Strategy Letter 49
Our Strategy Letters are published every 2 months. They focus on BearingPoint's convictions about operational strategy issues, ranging all the way from the position of Purchasing directors in companies to how to best face decline in key markets. The tone is meant to be pleasant and the content innovative.
It seems a long time ago when CEOs were laid back, at the helm of their business on a calm sea, with growth assured and competition confined within national frontiers. Today the wind has freshened, the sea is rougher and the markets are huge but far away and unpredictable. Sometimes even, a financial tsunami brews and ravages the coasts of the real economy, sweeping away firmly established certainties and prejudices. These days the CEO therefore needs to command much more technical skills combined with impeccable governance.
The modern CEO still has to be fundamentally a strategist, a visionary and a leader of men. But two new qualities are needed: quicker decision making and faultless integration between pure strategy and implementation. Only by emulating a sailor can a highly talented professional manager take up the challenge.

January 19, 2001
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) continues to provide health care, clean drinking water, shelter, latrines, and psychosocial care to thousands left homeless by the earthquake, which struck nearly two weeks ago destroying 97 municipalities and affecting 750,000 people. MSF is working in San Salvador, Armenia, Cafetalon, Lourdes, Sonsonate, and surrounding rural communities. Psychosocial Care to Earthquake VictimsIn Cafetalon, a sports center where over 10,000 people have gathered, MSF is running mental health programs with a team consisting of 5 psychologists and 1 psychiatrist to help the affected population deal with psychosocial trauma. Each day, the team attends to 100-150 patients and provides therapy to over 300 children. Most of the patients are suffering typical levels of emotional distress, such as shock and fear. The more severe patients are experiencing acute traumatic stress disorders like psychosis. The team is also carrying out community and psychosocial activities among the general population aiming to support self-help mechanisms. Community leaders are being trained and families are encouraged to support each other and support those who are alone. Update: Friday, January 19, 2001Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is working in 5 locations (San Salvador, Comasagua, Santa Tecla, Armenia, and Cafetalon area) hit hard by a 7.6-magnitude earthquake that struck El Salvador last Saturday, January 13. Fifty-three MSF aid volunteers are working with local staff and the Ministry of Health to provide relief. In Santa Tecla where the earthquake triggered a landslide that buried 200 homes, 6500 people have gathered in a sports center. MSF is overseeing all water and sanitation activities in the makeshift shelter. Two large water bladders have been installed, and 100 pit latrines and 50 showers have been built so far. MSF is distributing plastic sheeting and medicines. A team of four psychologists has been giving mental health support to adults and children, averaging about thirty consultations per day. In the capital, San Salvador, MSF is working in 2 of the main hospitals, Rosales and Maternidad, both of which were severely damaged by the quake. Nine provisional clinics are being built for patients who were evacuated. Teams are also distributing medical supplies and medical material (specially orthopedics) in 2 other hospitals: San Miguel and Sonsonate. Three MSF trauma surgeons were flown in Tuesday, and are treating the injured in Usulutan, Santa Ana, and Rosales hospitals in El Salvador. In Armenia, where most of the city's infrastructure was damaged, there is no water. MSF has provided water tanks to the most severely affected areas. Medicine and medical equipment are being delivered to the health center that has not been damaged, but faces a lack of supplies. In San Augustin, where 100% of buildings were destroyed, and in Usulutan where the hospital was damaged, MSF has installed two tents for shelter and two water tanks, and provided 1200 blankets, plastic sheeting, kitchen utensils, BP-5, and other relief items. Assessment teams are reviewing the situation and relief needs in the region from San Salvador up to the Guatemalan border and small neighborhoods surrounding Cafetalon. MSF is concerned that the lack of clean drinking water and poor living conditions will exacerbate a diarrhea outbreak that affected 8,500 people before the earthquake struck. MSF medical teams are monitoring the situation and logistical experts are working to set up water and sanitation facilities to avoid worsening the diarrhea epidemic. |

Fall officially started on September 23rd. The afternoons are warm; the mornings, however, are nice and cool and have inspired me to get out in the yard and enjoy the pleasant temperatures. Fall can be a really busy time for the gardener. Fall is a great time to do a soil test; should your results show that you need to add lime, the winter months will allow the lime to be incorporated into the soil before the next growing season begins. A soil test now will also allow you to see what other improvements need to be made to the soil. Fall is not a good time to add fertilizer as you don't want to cause your plants to have a growing spurt and tender shoots be killed by the first frost. However, you can add amendments such as compost to the soil It is time to cut back the spent annuals and clean the perennial bed.
Fall is a great time to start a compost pile with all those wonderful leaves that will soon be covering the lawns. When others begin bagging and carrying their leaves to the curb, you can pick up those bags and add them to your compost pile. Chopped up leaves and pinestraw make great mulch too!
The most important point about fall for gardeners is that we are at the best time to plant in our area (with mid winter being the second best). Fall planting allows the us to take advantage of how a plant grows. During the winter, plants become dormant, meaning they are growing more slowly and are not having to expend loads of energy on putting on leaves and flowers. So new plants can spend the winter months growing a strong root system. Another positive of fall planting is that Mother Nature will keep them watered over the winter. (However, if the days are very dry, you will need to supplement the rainfall.) Newly planted ornamentals and trees are not stressed by intense heat and drought as they can be, if planted in the spring..
Fall is also a good time to add winter color, such as pansies to your landscape. There is nothing more wonderful than a container or a bed of pansies to provide winter time cheer.
Make a visit to a garden center and bring home something new to add to your landscape. Enjoy!

I recently attended a wonderful workshop on pollinators–these are the creatures who pollinate our flowers, and our crops – both fruit and vegetable. 85 per cent of flowering plants require an insect to move the pollen. Butterflies and bees are both pollinators but bees, however, are the most important ones. Bees actively collect and transport pollen. 80 per cent of the world's almond crop is dependent on bees.
Since bees are vital to our gardens, it is important to create an environment that is safe and attractive to them. Our garden design as well as very careful use of pesticides and herbicides can make our yards havens for bees. Include flowers with attractive color and fragrance. Bees are attracted to blue, yellow, purple, violet and white. Bees can not see the color red (red looks like black to them). Provide season long sources of pollen and nectar by growing flowers year round and including early and late season flowers to provide a food source. Mass your flowers. In a small area plant a mass of one flower; thus increasing visibility to the pollinator is making it easier for the bees to search for nectar. Include a wide variety of flowers to attract many different pollinators. If you have a vegetable garden, it is important to create a habitat close to your crops and gardens as small bees may fly less then 500 feet and bumble bees may not fly more than a mile. An abundance of different flowers will increase the kinds of bees in your gardens. Keeping at least three things blooming at all times is terrific. Use locally native plants to support your bees population. Unfortunately, some of our newest hybrids are bred for beauty and are not necessarily attractive to bees; many of the old fashioned flowers make wonderful bee lures. It is not hard to attract bees; if you plant what they like, you will hear the humming of happy bees. Additionally, providing a source of water in the garden is a good thing.
Aside from choosing your plants to attract bees, the gardener must also limit pesticide use in the garden. Our mantra should be less is best! One of the worst chemicals for bees is sevin. Keeping plants healthy helps them to repel insects and disease. If you have to spray a pesticide, spray late in the day when the bees are not out. Use a liquid form of a chemical instead of a dust. Check all the ingredients on the label to be sure you know what you are spraying.
Additional hints for a bee friendly garden involve a bit of an attitude adjustment for the gardener: develop a tolerance for weeds; learn to love less than perfect in the garden. Make your garden inviting to beneficial insects so they can help with any bad insects pests.
A few simple steps and we can encourage bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to call our gardens home; our world will be a better place for the humans too.
Thank you to Extension Agent Dani Carroll whose information was the inspiration for this blog.

Flash menu
PSF Hosting:
Hi everyone!
I have a litlle problem,
I had a website, where I had put A flash menu in...
Worked, great!
Now i'm trying to program it into my Hosting site, because it's much easy'er to handle, and that wins custommers :)
So... now I was programming the index.html, but the Flash menu didn't apear :-\
So... I programmed it into the order form and it Did work, also html.
Both of them are programmed on the same way, only the index.html is a little bit more advanced, an has more text etc.
But The flash menu also didn't apear in a php file (also for hosting :P) but it did work in my forum....
So now is my question...
Does anybody know, why it work's in the request html file... but not in the Index and packages file...
It also works in two different html files, wich are not shown now, because of the failure of that Flash menu...
Can anybody help? :)
Can you post code snippets of where it is/isn't working? Maybe url's of where we can see it in action?
It looks ok in Opera tho IE only shows it in order page.
I guess if you double check the flash object in both pages, you may find the prob.

Uhm... can you explain that?
I'm not really that good in english so I didn't really understand what you meant with that :-\
@Charlottezweb: Yeah I can post a URL but... Currently only the dutch language is supported so um...
anyhow, if you wan't to, you can check the source.
I'll post some part of the code afcourse, but then I dunno, the code with the flash menu part, is in both the websites te same...
Index: http://hosting.psforum.nl < flash menu not working
Packages: http://www.psforum.nl/hosting/pakketten.php < flash menu not working
But here it is working:
Every time the code to add the flash menu is the same... :-\
It's been a long time since I played with flash, but are you supposed to put your object tags inside the head tags as opposed to where you want it positioned on the page?
I guess it works there since the working page does it just like the non-working ones...

Hitched: Kate Winslet and Ned Rock'nroll
Kate Winslet has been keeping a secret: She's married. The actress slipped away earlier this month with Ned Rock'nroll, the nephew of British business magnate Richard Branson, People.com reported.
"I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rock'nRoll in New York earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family," a Winslet rep said. "The couple had been engaged since the summer."
Leonardo DiCaprio, her Titanic co-star, gave her away at the ceremony, which was so exclusive that the parents of the bride and groom weren't even aware of it.
The marriage marks her third (her exes are directors Sam Mendes and Jim Threapleton) and his second. She has two children, Mia and Joe.
Other eye-openers
• Christmas photos that Miley Cyrus posted on Instagram have some fans wondering whether she and Liam Hemsworth are married. The two actors, engaged since May, seem to be wearing matching wedding bands.
• Boy Meets World actor Rider Strong gave his girlfriend, actress Alexandra Barreto, a Christmas to remember by popping the question on Wednesday. She said yes.
• Jacob Kulke, who was arrested this month for allegedly trespassing on Taylor Swift's Nashville property, won't face charges, TMZ.com reported. Prosecutors decided not to pursue the case because the singer's home didn't have "No trespassing" signs.
• R&B singer and actress Brandy is engaged to music executive Ryan Press, her rep said yesterday. The marriage will be the first for Brandy, who has a 10-year-old daughter. A date for the wedding has yet to be announced.
