Website was easy to navigate, prices appear keen and payment via Paypal was easy. Delivery arrived within a week and carrier phoned the day before to check somebody would be in.
Excellent web site, very interesting prices, quick delivery, Payment system really trustable and efficient, shipping really performant too... Even if the best is really the custommer service, giving very good advices by phone, and very helpfull... even for somebody who speaks a very bad english !!!
Thanks a lot, perfect on all the line
the payment didnt go through immediately whenever order was made due to glinch in system, they kept me updated by email. the order was posted promptly and was well packed. bit disapointed at the high cost of postage. probably wont buy from them again because of this high charge.
It takes 3-5 days but its still awaiting fulfilment so I don't know when I will receive my parcel
Reliable service and delivered as expected. Will definitely visiting the website again. Thanks
Website implied next day despatch but neglected to point out 5 days processing time. No updates for order until I chased. Promised that they had been despatched, didn't receive till 3 days later. At the price they charge for delivery I expected next day. Won't use again even if their prices for items are competitive.
The site was easy to use. The company were very nice to speak to. Would recommend you to friends.
Sent fast, well packed and water tastes lovely. A1 service, thank you.

Tuesday, Dec 109:06 AMCoca-Cola and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters: Friends not enemies?
- A comment from Coca-Cola (KO) CEO Muhtar Kent yesterday at a beverage conference in NYC looks like a positive development for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), notes KeyBanc.
- Kent said single-serve dispensers are an "opportunity" not a threat to Coca-Cola's business.
- A partnership between GMCR and KO could heat up the "cold" side of the single serve business.

Wednesday, Dec 43:07 PMGreen Mountain and Starbucks scrap for pod share
- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR +2.6%) maintained more of its pod market share over the last four weeks than Starbucks (SBUX -1.2%), according to fresh Nielsen data.

Wednesday, Nov 273:27 PMBuckingham reiterates bullish position on Green Mountain, Greenberg not so sure
- Buckingham Research is out with some upbeat commentary on Buy-rated Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR +5.2%).
- Analyst Matthew DiFrisco likes "the prospects for meaningful margin expansion, double-digit growth in portion packs, and more dynamic growth in H2 2014 when GMCR converts current unlicensed channel volume into profitable licensed partners."
- Price target is $92.
- Meanwhile, here's Herb Greenberg commenting last week: "Take a look at growth: It's going the wrong direction. Margins? Sequentially (which counts in this situation) off a cliff -- and that's WITH the aid of lower coffee prices and a laundry list of one-time (or, let's say, not sustainably to-be-counted-on) items."
- For more perspective, here's Stifel's Mark Astrachan (as quoted by Greenberg): "We believe new guidance implies modest over-shipment relative to demand in F4Q13 and slowing K-Cup sales growth, largely a result of share gains for unlicensed brands and worsening price/mix."

Support the Grand Jury Resisters: End the Grand Jury
By Peter Bohmer at Aug 30, 2012 |
This Grand Jury is a major and serious attack on the civil liberties of all of us. There was minor property destruction at the May Day, 2012 anti-capitalist march. The Seattle and other police departments, the FBI, Homeland Security, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Justice Department are using what happened on May Day, 2012 to launch a witch hunt against activists, particularly anarchists and anti-capitalists. All who are working for economic and social justice and for the transformation of this country are at risk. Our support and solidarity for those who are the target of this Grand Jury and those subpoenaed are important for all. It should not require that we support the ideology and tactics of those who are now under attack. If those in power can get away with this repression, police state behavior will continue to grow.
Grand Juries were used in the 1970's against many movements including the Puerto Rican independence movement, anti-Vietnam war and anti-imperialist movements. The vast majority of those subpoenaed refused to testify thereby weakening the federal government's strategy of getting people to reveal who knew whom and who did what although many brave individuals went to prison because of their refusal to collaborate. Let us learn more and share with others how grand juries have been used in attempts to break social movements, to gain information on those who are active in these movements, and to intimidate others from participating. By our active support for those currently subpoenaed and exposing the repressive use of grand juries, let us turn this attack by the government into a defeat for them.

If you are a baseball fan, then you have an opinion about the All-Star Game. You may feel the voting process is ridiculous; you may hate the fact that the winning league gets home field advantage in the World Series. But no matter how you feel, the one thing that even the harshest critic of the game cannot deny is that you have a special memory from at least one of the previous 83 games played in league history.
That memory may not even be an entire game itself but simply one moment where you watched and said, "I'm glad I saw that happen". Every baseball fan has at least one, some, like myself have more than one. Those memories can include a young rookie making his All-Star Game debut or an aging star playing in his last. The memory can be a home run, or in recent generations, a home run derby.
The defensive-minded fans may remember a great inning or two their favorite pitcher hurled in which he struck out the side. Some fans simply enjoy the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the game itself.
Whatever your All-Star memory is, it belongs to you. And like a lot of great sports moments or memories, you will never forget where you were when you watched it.
Maybe you were fortunate enough to attend an All-Star Game, having a beer and a hot dog with your favorite family member or friend. Maybe, as a 10-year old kid during a scorching hot July night, you were sitting in the only room of the house that was cooled by the window-unit air conditioner watching on TV.
I would even be willing to bet that your memory of an MLB All-Star Game is not complete with which league won or lost, and that is what makes this event so special—the fact that what is important is the baseball itself, the stars on the field and a moment waiting to happen.
Sure, there is something to play for these days, as the winning league will have home field advantage in the World Series.
This year, A.L Manager Jim Leyland appears as if he truly wants to win the game, as evidenced by the number of pitchers he selected. Leyland found out first hand last October what starting on the road can mean in the Fall Classic. With his team having a good shot to return this October, the Tigers manager has loaded his roster with at last count, at least four more arms than his National League counterpart, Bruce Bochy has.
That will add intrigue to this year's contest but this game always was and is about your heroes, or now, your kids' heroes. Hopefully, everyone that is playing is doing so for the love of the game. If you are an adult, the All-Star Game is a time to remember when you were a kid and if you are a kid, well, you're dreaming about playing in the game one day yourself.
A few years ago, MLB baseball conducted a poll and asked what your favorite All-Star moment was—not your favorite All-Star game. I could not pick just one "favorite moment" but I did in the end for the sake of the vote. However, if you stick with this slide show (20 slides), you will learn about some of the special moments and which one I thought was the most special.
I would love to have feedback and read your comments. I would like to thank the Baseball Almanac and baseball-reference.com for the use of their stats and play-by-play accounts on these great Midsummer Classic's

A slacker tries to do the right thing for his family with unexpectedly chaotic results in this independent comedy. Salman (Scott Prendergast) is an out-of-work twentysomething who has few skills and fewer prospects. However, things are significantly worse for his older brother -- his National Guard unit has been called back to Iraq, and his wife, Leslie (Lisa Kudrow), needs to go back to work in order to support their children. However, Leslie doesn't have anyone to look after her two sons, so when Salman learns of her sad situation, he volunteers to move in and help mind the kids. Salman quickly discovers the boys are nearly psychotic and will stop at nothing to get him out of the house, including putting sharp objects in his breakfast. With the household still short on money, Leslie helps Salman get a job, and soon he's become the corporate mascot for a failing Internet company, who pounds the pavement wearing a strange blue costume hoping to drum up interest in renting space in the corporate offices. The first feature film as writer and director for actor Scott Prendergast, Kabluey also stars Christine Taylor, Conchata Ferrell, Teri Garr, and Chris Parnell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A reality show contestant who lost 150 pounds and gained a cool one million dollars falls prey to the capitalistic excess of the jet set as Dummy director Greg Pritikin sets his satirical sights on the Hollywood hangers-on who linger for far too long after their 15 minutes are up. Dennis Flotchky (Michael Panes) was an overweight loser with no money and few friends when he first applied for a role on television's top reality game show. All of that quickly changes, however, when Dennis endures to outwit, outlast, and outplay his fellow contestants while simultaneously dropping the majority of his excess weight and becoming a millionaire in the process. Now a celebrity wannabe whose face fills the tabloids and whose fortune is fast being depleted, Dennis must make a quick recovery before the vultures circling overhead swoop down to pick him clean of every last penny and tear away every remaining ounce of his self-respect. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Push, Nevada [TV Series]
Network television's first "interactive" mystery-suspense series, Push, Nevada got under way somewhat in the manner of the 1945 theatrical feature Murder, He Says, with stalwart IRS agent Jim Prufrock (Derek Cecil) venturing into the hinterlands in search of a huge cache of stolen money. Prufrock followed the trail of evidence to the cloistered community of Push, NV, which seemed to be populated exclusively by weirdos with deep, dark secrets. Each time that Prufrock thought he'd figured out what was going on, a new riddle or enigma was added to the mixture, such as a motel which looked like a dump on the outside but was luxurious on the inside, or a bizarre casino where everyone was forced to speak in lousy French accents. As Jim tried to piece things together, the viewers at home were invited to interpret the clues right along with the protagonist. If the viewer was able to solve the mystery before the first 13 episodes had played out, he or she would win one million dollars. Co-created by actor Ben Affleck and boasting a production staff gleaned from Affleck's popular cable-TV documentary series Project Greenlight, Push, Nevada debuted on September 17, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One of Frank Capra's best-loved stories gets a modernized and wildly slapstick reinterpretation in this romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler. When Preston Blake (Harve Presnell), a remarkably wealthy media magnate, dies with neither a wife nor children, the question on the lips of most of his associates is who will inherit the estate. The surprising answer turns out to be Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler), a cheerful but half-bright proprietor of a small-town pizzeria, as well as part-time greeting card poet, who was a distant relative of Blake. In order to claim his 40-billion-dollar inheritance, Deeds heads to New York City, where Blake's former associates, Chuck Cedar (Peter Gallagher) and Cecil Anderson (Erick Avari), introduce him to the city while trying to figure out how to get their hands on his new fortune. Meanwhile, Mac McGrath (Jared Harris), the producer of a sleazy tabloid television show, wants to get the inside scoop on Deeds, and comes up with perfect way to get it: he sends beautiful but unscrupulous reporter Babe Bennett (Winona Ryder) to sweep Deeds off his feet while she's wired for sound. Convincing Deeds that she's from a small town just like himself, Bennett quickly wins his heart, but while his affection is sincere, hers is not. He also displays a curious eagerness to defend her good name with his fists which quickly gets him in trouble. Meanwhile, as Deeds becomes the new laughing stock of New York thanks to Bennett's stories, Deeds decides it's time he did something big with his money, while Cedar and Anderson think they've finally found a way to take control of Deeds' holdings. Mr. Deeds also features supporting performances from John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, and Conchata Ferrell. John McEnroe and Rev. Al Sharpton make cameo appearances as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

ER: Four Corners
Originally slated to air on September 20, 2001, the eighth-season opener of ER was bumped to September 27 due to ongoing network coverage of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. This inaugural episode hopscotches through time, presenting its events from several sharply differing points of view. First off, several loose ends from the end of season seven are wrapped up, notably the aftermath of Greene's (Anthony Edwards) decision to "terminate" a man who had killed several people before being shot himself, and the aftereffects of the treatment given to Cleo Finch (Michael Michele) when she cut her hand on a vial of HIV-infected blood. In new developments, the ER staff treats the victims of a TV talk show brawl; Abby (Maura Tierney) and Carter (Noah Wyle) attend his grandfather's funeral, where Carter is brought into a confrontation with his estranged parents (Michael Gross, Mary McDonnell); Benton (Eriq La Salle) helps his sister Jackie (Khandi Alexander) cope with the death of her son; returning from vacation, Weaver (Laura Innes) worries that she has been "outed" by Romano (Paul McCrane); and Chen (Ming-Na) is appointed chief resident. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Oprah Winfrey Presents: Amy and Isabelle
Executive produced by Oprah Winfrey, the made-for-TV Oprah Winfrey Presents: Amy & Isabelle was based on the bestselling 1999 novel by Elizabeth Strout. The scene is the mining town of Shirley Falls, ME; the year is 1971. Seeking escape from the iron rule of her domineering, social-climbing single mother, Isabelle (Elisabeth Shue), shy teenager Amy (Hanna R. Hall) falls under the seductive spell of her new math teacher, Mr. Robertson (Martin Donovan). Meanwhile, Isabelle, who may not be as straight-laced as she appears, develops a yearning for her married boss, Avery Clark (James Rebhorn), who barely acknowledges the woman's existence. The tensions between Amy and Isabelle, already heightened by their separate romantic travails, is exacerbated when the two women find themselves working together in the same accounting office. While the rest of the town buzzes with vicious gossip concerning the two heroines, the story takes on a disturbing new tangent when the body of a young girl is found stuffed into the trunk of an abandoned car. Also known as Amy & Isabelle, this film was first aired by ABC on March 4, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The 1995 novel by Dr. Gene Brewer becomes this drama from director Iain Softley. After a mugging incident at New York's Grand Central Station, Prot (Kevin Spacey), a man who claims to be an alien from the planet K-PAX, is turned over to a public mental hospital and the care of Dr. Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges). When medication fails to alter Prot's insistence that he is visiting from another world on a fact-finding mission, Powell gets more involved with his patient, who seems to have a calming effect on the other residents of his ward. At first convinced that Prot is a delusional who can be treated, Powell begins to wonder if his bizarre patient's story is true, particularly after the hospital's doctors find that Prot possesses the baffling ability to see ultraviolet light. As the date grows nearer when Prot claims he must leave Earth (a "class BA-III planet"), Powell becomes increasingly concerned that a psychiatric breakthrough must occur by then. K-PAX (2001) co-stars Alfre Woodard and Mary McCormack. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Julia Roberts stars in this legal drama based on the true story of a woman who helped win the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit. Erin Brockovich (Roberts) is a single mother of three who, after losing a personal injury lawsuit, asks her lawyer, Ed Masry (Albert Finney), if he can help her find a job. Ed gives her work as a file clerk in his office, and she runs across some information on a little-known case filed against Pacific Gas and Electric. Erin begins digging into the particulars of the case, convinced that the facts simply don't add up, and persuades Ed to allow her to do further research; in time, she discovers a systematic cover-up of the industrial poisoning of a city's water supply, which threatens the health of the entire community. Erin Brockovich was directed by Steven Soderbergh; Julia Roberts earned a $20 million payday for her work on the film, the highest salary paid to a female film star up to that time. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Touched by an Angel: The Medium and the Message
T.J. McKenna (Alan Rosenberg), a jaded executive at the NNT television network, once cared about living the best and most worthwhile life possible. Now all McKenna concerns himself is NNT's ratings, and accordingly he brashly promotes his network's programming as "bigger, better, absolutely shocking". Enter Monica (Roma Downey), who throws McKenna for a loop--and turns his life around--by suggesting that he put on a weekly TV show about angels. As part of Monica's "pitch", the viewer is treated to highlights from previous Touched by an Angel episodes, wherein Monica, Tess (Della Reese) and Andrew (John Dye) show the benefits accrued by caring for others rather than oneself. Conchate Ferrell costars in the pivotal role of McKenna's long-suffering secretary. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Go Fish
Something fishy's going on at Sunnydale High -- the swim team is winning meets. Everyone at school is hyped up about the team's success. Even Principal Snyder (Armin Shimerman) asks Willow (Alyson Hannigan) -- still teaching Jenny's (Robia La Morte) computer class -- to give a swimmer a better grade. One student, however, is not so happy with the team -- Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar). After a swimmer tries to grope her while on a date, her slayer sense is sparked. Her suspicions are magnified when two swimmers end up being skinned alive. Meanwhile, another swimmer, Gage (Wentworth Miller), is bitten by Angel, who spits out the blood in apparent disgust over its taste. Everyone suspects the swimmers of using steroids. Later, after Gage transforms into a fish-man or "gill monster," the truth about the swim team is clear. Also, Willow is made a permanent computer teacher for the rest of the season. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

This film is the product of an unlikely pairing between novelist Elmore Leonard and maverick screenwriter-director Paul Schrader. Leonard usually writes Detroit-based crime novels; this time, Schrader transports one of Leonard's quirkier, non-crime books to an L.A. scene. Christopher Walken plays slick ex-preacher and musical promoter Bill Hill, who is trying to rescue his former church organist Virginia Worrell (Conchata Ferrell) from an abusive husband. He enlists a former Franciscan priest, a Brazilian named Juvenal (Skeet Ulrich) who now works as an alcohol rehabilitation counselor. Juvenal not only calms down Virginia's husband, he cures her blindness. Later, he also cures a young boy of leukemia. His laying on of his hands causes his palms to bleed with the stigmata of Jesus Christ. As work of his miraculous powers spreads, Juvenal becomes the prey of several people who want to exploit him, including Hill, who's out for money, and a militant traditionalist Catholic, August Murray (Tom Arnold), who wants Juvenal to help his crusade to restore the old-fashioned Latin Mass. Juvenal is also pursued by a television reporter, Kathy Worthington (Janeane Garofalo) and a tabloid TV show host, Debra Lusanne (Gina Gershon), who wants to televise his miracles live. Hill's scheme is to use an assistant record producer, Lynn Faulkner (Bridget Fonda), to pretend to be an alcoholic, get admitted to the center where Juvenal works, and find out more about Juvenal. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

In this comedy, Russell P. Kramer (Jack Lemmon) and Matt Douglas (James Garner) are two former U.S. Presidents who sit on opposite sides of the political fence. Kramer is a stuffy Republican reluctant to part with a dollar, while Douglas is a left-leaning Democrat with an eye for the ladies. Douglas succeeded Kramer in office after a single term, while Douglas, after four years as chief executive, lost to his former running mate William Haney (Dan Aykroyd). When the facts about a bribery scheme in Haney's administration threaten to surface and destroy his reputation, the ruthless president tries to pin the responsibility on Kramer and Douglas -- and when the ex-presidents learn the truth about Haney's dealings, Haney tries to have them killed before they can talk. Kramer and Douglas soon find themselves on the run, disguising themselves as celebrity impersonators, hiding out in the woods with a homeless family, and marching in a Gay Pride parade in an effort to stay clear of Haney's goons while they bring the truth to the people. My Fellow Americans also features Lauren Bacall as Kramer's long-suffering wife and John Heard as Haney's intellectually-challenged vice president. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Add Freeway to top of Queue
In this postmodern exploitation flick loosely based on "Little Red Riding Hood," the uneducated daughter of a drug-addicted prostitute flees the foster-care system in search of her long-lost grandmother but meets up instead with a serial killer. Vanessa (Reese Witherspoon), a nearly illiterate firebug and serial shoplifter, desperately clings to normalcy even though her mother turns tricks, does drugs, and manages to ignore the fact that the girl's stepfather Michael T. Weiss has been abusing her for years. When both of her parents get arrested, Vanessa steals the car of her family-services caseworker (Conchata Ferrell) and heads up Interstate 5 in search of her paternal grandmother, who's never met her. Car problems force her to accept a ride from Bob Wolverton (Kiefer Sutherland), a youth counselor who uses charm and sympathy to get the girl to open up. Confessing the sordid details of her childhood to Bob, Vanessa is shocked when he suddenly declares that she's one of the "garbage people" and that he plans to murder her and have sex with her corpse. Bob, it turns out, is the "I-5 Murderer," who's been slaughtering young prostitutes in the Los Angeles area. Thanks to a gun borrowed from her fiancé, Vanessa manages to turn the tables on Bob, shooting him repeatedly and leaving him for dead. He survives, Vanessa is arrested, and the two meet up again in court -- with her unrepentant, even though the police disbelieve her story, him flanked by his prim wife (Brooke Shields) and the righteous indignation of the American legal system. Locked up in the juvie for psychological evaluation, Vanessa gets in touch with her wild side and eventually escapes, heading off to her fateful meeting with grandma. Although Freeway was originally filmed for HBO, vigorously positive critical response eventually earned it a theatrical release. Alanna Ubach, who portrays Vanessa's nemesis/accomplice Mesquita, would go on to appear with Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. Freeway also features two Clueless alumni: Dan Hedaya, as a police detective, and Brittany Murphy, as the disfigured lesbian who befriends Vanessa in lock-up. Michael T. Weiss, who previously appeared in gay indie Jeffrey, appears in both Freeway and its sequel, Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trickbaby. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

As she goes from person to person asking details of her life history, Alison is unaware that some of the interviewees are lying--and not without good reason.

Also in the cast is David Newsom as a kindly psychiatrist who insists upon helping Alison lift the veils from her mind--but why?

Season three of Hearts Afire finds conservative political functionary John Hartman (John Ritter) still living in his hometown with his worldly, liberal journalist wife Georgie Anne (Markie Post), where they continue to churn out the local newspaper, "The Daily Beacon," with the help of John's lifelong pal Billy Bob Davis (Billy Bob Thornton) and Georgie Anne's acerbic gal-pal Madeline Stoessinger (Conchata Ferrell). Although the setting and most of the previous season's cast is intact, there are a couple of significant changes during season three. For one, J. Skylar Testa has replaced Justin Burnette in the role of the Hartmans' oldest son Ben. And for another, Georgie Anne has given birth to a daughter. Although the series' locale switch from Washington D.C. to the Deep South during season two had given Hearts Afire a small boost in the ratings, the third season episodes suffered from the stiff competition of Fox's America's Most Wanted -- and then, after switching from Saturday to Wednesday night, the series was at the mercy of another opposing Fox show, Beverly Hills 90210. Hearts Afire was canceled in February of 1995, with only 13 of the series' final 14 episodes seeing the light of day on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Quentin Tarantino scripted this wild and wooly blend of action and dark comedy, which reached theaters a year before his breakthrough hit Pulp Fiction. Clarence Worley (Christian Slater) is a well-meaning but socially unskilled comic-shop clerk whose idea of a big night out is catching a Sonny Chiba triple-feature at a downtown grindhouse. Clarence is celebrating his birthday in just such a manner when he meets a beautiful girl named Alabama (Patricia Arquette), and it's love at first sight for both of them. Clarence's enthusiasm isn't dampened much when he discovers Alabama is actually a prostitute who was paid by his boss to bump into him; she's only been in the business for a few days, and is more than eager to give up streetwalking to be with Clarence. However, Alabama is certain her pimp, Drexl (Gary Oldman), will not be happy; he's an ill-mannered sort with mob connections and a fondness for violence. Chivalrous Clarence offers to break the news to Drexl and collect her belongings, but he doesn't tell her he also plans to kill Drexl while he's there; a melee breaks out that leaves Drexl and his henchmen dead. Clarence grabs a suitcase that he thinks contains Alabama's clothes, but he discovers it instead holds five million dollars' worth of cocaine. The couple hits the road for California, planning to sell the dope and enjoy the good life in South America with the proceeds, but soon a group of very unhappy underworld characters are after them, as well as the police.

Heaven & Earth
Add Heaven & Earth to Queue
Add Heaven & Earth to top of Queue
With Heaven and Earth -- cobbled together from two autobiographical reminiscences (When Heaven and Earth Changed Places and Child of War, Woman of Peace by Le Ly Hayslip -- Oliver Stone completes his self-declared "Vietnam Trilogy" (the other films being Platoon and Born On the Fourth of July) of films examining the Vietnam War from different perspectives. Heaven and Earth begins in the central Vietnamese village of Ky La during the 1950s. Phung Le Ly (Hiep Thi Le) is an innocent peasant girl, helping her mother (Joan Chen) to tend the rice paddies while being lectured in the ways of life by her father (Haing Ngor). The idyllic peace of the village is disrupted when a jet bomber crosses the skies. Soon the village is decimated as the American-backed South Vietnamese government troops and the Viet Cong engage in brutal warfare in which the victims are the innocent villagers. Le Ly is both tortured and raped. She leaves Ky La for Danang for a life as a prostitute. There she meets the tall and craggy American soldier Steve Butler (Tommy Lee Jones), a kind but lonely man who isn't looking for sex but for someone to settle down with -- as he says, "I want an Oriental wife." They marry, and Steve takes her back to the United States, where her in-laws look at her not as a wife but as a pet. In the harsh glare of 1970s U.S. culture, Le Ly has trouble adjusting to the American way of life. But not as hard a time as her husband, who, after twenty years in Vietnam, discovers he cannot adapt to civilian life. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Hearts Afire: Season 02
Having given in to network pressure by having the two hot-to-trot leading characters of the CBS sitcom Hearts Afire consummate their romance with marriage rather than merely a roll in the hay during the series' first season, producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason also gritted her teeth and went along with the network's insistence that the series drop its political overtones and morph into something closer to Thomason's earlier hit show Evening Shade. Thus at the beginning of season two, John Hartman (John Ritter) forsakes his job as aide to Washington-based conservative senator Strobe Smithers, and moves his new bride Georgie Anne (Markie Post) and his sons Ben (Justin Burdette) and Elliott (Clark Duke) back to his home town, somewhere in the Deep South. Also going along for the ride is John's recently divorced best friend Billy Bob Davis (Billy Bob Thornton) and Davis' daughter Carson Lee (Doren Fein). Upon their arrival, the right-leaning John and the left-leaning Georgie Anne (a former journalist) purchase a moribund newspaper, "The Daily Beacon," to air their oil-and-water political views. Seeing as the only employee on the Beacon who hasn't quit his job is timid typesetter Lonnie Garr (Leslie Jordan), it looks as though John, Georgie Ann, and Billy Bob will have to handle all production details of the newspaper themselves. It so happens that the "Daily Beacon" shares the same building as the offices of psychologist Madeline Stoessinger (Conchata Ferrell), a sharp-witted sophisticate who shares many of Georgie Anne's liberal views. Though John isn't crazy about the idea, Madeline is hired as the newspaper's advice columnist, thereby providing a worthy verbal sparring-partner for the Southern-fried Billy Bob. Another newcomer to the cast isn't new at all. Beth Broderick had spent the first season in the role of Dee Dee Starr, the bimbo mistress and sort-of secretary to John's boss, Senator Smithers. Beginning with season two, Broderick was cast in a different role, as Lee Ann Folsom -- Dee Dee's somewhat more reserved sister, and the wife of local blowhard Reed Folsom (Mark Harelik). Among the guest stars appearing as "themselves" this season are musical artist Little Richard, TV commentator Maureen O'Boyle, and, in a rare "acting" appearance, talk radio maven Rush Limbaugh. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

- AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl officials along with NCAA Football are thrilled to announce a FREE youth football clinic for area kids between the ages of 5 and 13 to be held on Saturday, June 25 from 8 a.m. to noon at Independence Stadium.
Partnering on the event for the second year in a row, the NCAA Football Youth Clinic hosted by the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl promotes the fundamentals of football as well as good sportsmanship. Registrants will participate in offensive, defensive, and special teams drills while being coached by current college coaches and former players.
Applications are available by calling 318-221-0712 or toll free 888-414-BOWL (2695), or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications are also available online at
The 2011 AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl will kick off at 4 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 26, 2011 from Independence Stadium and will be nationally televised on ESPN2.
Individual ticket prices in 2011 are $47 for sideline seats and $37 for south end zone seats. Military tickets can be purchased by active military personnel in person at the Bowl Office for a special discounted price of $32 for south end zone and $42 for sideline bench seats. Those wishing to donate tickets to the military can do so at those same prices. The ticket renewal period is ongoing and the deadline for all payment is July 1, 2011.
New to all ticket buyers in 2011 is the "I-Bowl Loyalty Card". If fans renew tickets or purchase new tickets prior to the July 1 renewal deadline they will receive one Loyalty Card for each ticket they purchase. The "I-Bowl Loyalty Card" will save fans money at participating businesses that are "Loyalty Partners" such as Cascio's Market Bistro, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hilton Shreveport, Johnny's Catfish and Seafood, The Dough Basket and Creative Cakes and many more. New "Loyalty Partners" will be added throughout the year as well.
The AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl has revised several of its ticket packages this year. The "Johnny's Catfish and Seafood Family FUN Pack", Touchdown Club, Patriot Pack, and Bowl Backer offer fans a chance to save money for their group outing to the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl.
The "Johnny's Catfish and Seafood Family Fun Pack" includes four south end zone tickets, four hot dogs, four soft drinks, and a Blue Lot parking pass all for only $175. The ticket package also includes a "Johnny's Catfish Family Pack", a $20 value. This saves fans more than $40 off of the regular price.
The Touchdown Club is specially designed for larger groups. This package includes 10 south end zone tickets, and 10 shuttle tickets for $380, which saves fans $50 off the normal price.
The Patriot Pack and the Bowl Backer include 20 seats in the south end zone and sidelines respectively, along with shuttle tickets and recognition at the game for your business or large group. Stay tuned for more information on ticket packages throughout the year.
The Kid's Corner Youth Ticket Initiative allows businesses and individuals the opportunity to donate 25 or more tickets to a youth-oriented non-profit organization of their choice, such as the YMCA, Volunteers of America, or Boys and Girls Club.

Enre has fiery red hair and an attitude to match. The world is full of injustice, and he wants everything to be fair and equitable right now. Kalman is older, calm and logical, but the two men, co-workers at the botanical gardens, are drawn to each other. They work together at the far end of the gardens all one day, getting to know each other, and passion ignites between them.
The garden bed is made, and sprayed with their seed as well as that of the plants. Hot, sweaty half naked bodies, and outdoor sex, is so good they do it all again later that afternoon, before planning to spend the evening together - in a real bed.

Since we're dealing with unrealism here, I think it could. Until I watched the extras, I had no idea Reynold's Green Lantern suit wasn't an actual piece of clothing. But, I don't think only tights look would work either because at times Reynold's skin tight outfit looked like he needed a sandwich. I like the idea of a suit which doesn't inhibit a full range of movement but has some noticeable extra protection. And before I forget, some color contrast. Black on black on black is just too much black. Looking at the Entertainment Weekly cover with Bale and Hathaway, it just doesn't look impressive to me. For all I know, he could have a huge beer gut in that thing. Which is a shame because I believe Bale has worked hard to be in shape and it just isn't apparent. Save for his own endurance in making the film.
Just focusing on the fighting aspect, armor in films may make sense in the idea of protection but it seems to dull the way that expertise looks. Like I stated above, the suit apparently can be digitally added so why not take advantage and do some great fight scenes then add it in later. I do watch a lot of action films of all types and not once have I ever thought a Batman film contained a memorable fight sequence. Lots of stunts but not blow your mind fights. To me, Batman should crush them all. If the Joker had put a 'kick me' sign on movie Batman's back, I really think he'd have to have Alfred help him remove it. That's just wrong.

In a little more than three months, Manti Te'o probably will be drafted by an NFL team and sign a multimillion dollar deal.
Before teams sink that much money into players, they have questions.
With the revelation that the football feel-good story of the year centered on the Notre Dame linebacker's love for a woman who never existed, many people have questions for Te'o -- a lot of questions.
And as each question in the saga gets answered -- none publicly by Te'o --- it seems another one, or two, or three, crop up.
For instance, why did Te'o tell reporters before the Heisman Trophy presentation on December 8 that he "lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer," when two days earlier the woman he thought was dead called him on his cellphone?
Why did he tell a Sports Illustrated reporter in October that Kekua came to one of his games then issue a statement this week that he never met her?
Who is now behind the one of the Twitter accounts associated with Lennay Kekua, a woman who apparently never lived, let alone died, in September before Te'o, who called her his girlfriend, played one of the biggest games of the young season?
A tweet Thursday purportedly from the fictional girlfriend promised she would have a big announcement that would help sort out details of the story, but the tweet was merely a joke about Te'o.
Two other tweets on the page were retweets from the verified account of Te'o.
"@LennayKay I miss you!" a November 6 tweet from Te'o said.
On September 12, Te'o tweeted "@LennayKay you will always be with me wherever I go!"
It was unclear Thursday whether the person Te'o tweeted to in September used it again after reports broke of a hoax or whether someone created a new account with the same user name.
The airing of the bizarre story began Wednesday, when sports website Deadspin published a piece dismissing as a hoax the existence of Te'o's girlfriend -- the one who he said died around the same time as his grandmother while his team marched toward the BCS National Championship Game.
Then Wednesday, the university held a news conference saying Te'o was the victim of a "elaborate hoax." And Te'o, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, released a statement saying he was embarrassed that he was the victim of a "sick joke."
The bizarre developments left many wondering if they, instead of Te'o, were led on.
"Te'o's story that he is completely innocent in this does not really ring true to us," Timothy Burke, co-author of the Deadspin article, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night.
Pete Thamel, the Sports Illustrated writer who published a transcript of his interview with Te'o, said he thinks the star linebacker was duped.
"If he was acting he deserves an Oscar nomination," Thamel said. "The depth and the detail of this scam is mindboggling, but I do think Te'o ... he caught the wave of this story, maybe exaggerated the depths of their relationship a little. But at the end of the day, we need to hear from Manti Te'o."
The hoax
The story of the girlfriend came to light in September as Notre Dame continued its improbable undefeated season, and Te'o, a relentless tackler, was beginning to emerge as a front-runner for the prestigous Heisman Trophy.
He led the Fighting Irish, amassing double-digit tackle games and becoming the face of one of the best defenses in the nation.
In September and October, Te'o told interviewers that his girlfriend and grandmother had died within hours of each other. The girlfriend, a 22-year-old Stanford University student, died of leukemia, he said.
The twin losses inspired him to honor them with sterling play on the field, Te'o said. He led his team to a 20-3 routing of Michigan State after he heard the news.
"I miss 'em, but I know that I'll see them again one day," he told ESPN.
It was indeed a gripping interest story of determination. And the media ran with it.
No one bothered to seek out Kekua's family until Deadspin, acting on an anonymous e-mail received last week, started poking around.
"What do you do when you first want to know something? You Google it, right?" Burke said on CNN. "And Google searches for 'Lennay Kekua' only showed up articles about her dying, and inspiring Manti Te'o.
"There's no evidence of her existing in any way, other than, you know, after she had allegedly died. And we thought that was a little weird."
Te'o's grandmother died in September, Deadspin said.
But there was no Social Security Administration record of Kekua's death. The Birth and Death Registration Office in Orange County, California, told CNN it had no record of Kekua, nor does the county coroner.
Deadspin called mortuaries and funeral homes in Carson, California, where Kekua was reportedly buried -- but came up empty.
The website sought out the person whose picture had been presented as that of Kekua and tracked her down.
She was alive, didn't have leukemia and had never met Te'o.
"That sort of opened everything up," Burke said.
The revelation prompted the Notre Dame athletics director to call a news conference Wednesday. There was no way for Te'o to know the relationship was a hoax because it had been conducted strictly online and on the phone, said director Jack Swarbrick.
The pair had set up several meetings, including in Hawaii, where Te'o grew up -- but Kekua never showed, Swarbrick said.
The university said it did not know how many people were in on the ruse.
According to Swarbrick, Te'o received a call from a woman claiming to be his girlfriend on December 6, telling him she was not dead. Those calls continued, but Te'o did not answer, he said.
The Heisman Trophy was awarded two days later, and Te'o made comments about losing relatives to cancer before he finished second in the award voting to quarterback Johnny Manziel of Texas A & M.
The Stanford University registrar's office told CNN that it has never had a student registered in Kekua's name or using an alternate spelling.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that are responsible for movement. The motor neurons (nerve cells which send an impulse to illicit muscular contraction or movement) in an ALS patient die as a result of rapid degeneration. Voluntary muscles, controlled by motor neurons, lack proper nourishment and will weaken and atrophy (shrink) as a result. Examples of voluntary movement include stepping off of a curb or reaching for the top shelf. These activities rely on the muscles of the arms and legs. Paralysis sets in at the endstages of ALS and leaves the patient unable to function physically, despite remaining mentally intact. There are no known causes or cures for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and the disease can afflict anyone. The usual cause of death is paralysis of the respiratory muscles which control breathing.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive disease of the central nervous system. "A" means "no," "myo" implies muscle cells, and "trophic" refers to nourishment. The nerve cells that extend from the brain to the spinal cord (upper motor neurons), and from the spinal cord to the peripheral nerves (lower motor neurons), for unexplained reasons, degenerate and die. "Lateral" refers to the areas of the spinal cord that are affected, and "sclerosis" occurs as hard tissue replaces the previously originally healthy nerve.
The parts of the body that are not affected by ALS are those areas not involved in the use of motor neurons. The mind remains very sharp and in control of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Bowel and bladder functions are generally not affected. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis rarely causes pain, yet leaves patients dependent on the care of others during advanced stages.
At any given time there are about 30,000 people in the United States with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and about 5,000 new cases are reported each year. ALS progresses
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is not a rare disease. ALS affects approximately seven people out of every 100,000. Most people with ALS are between 40 and 70 years of age. Approximately 5–10% of cases show a heredity pattern.
ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, is named after the great New York Yankee's first basemen. Lou Gehrig, known as the "Ironman" of baseball, died two years after he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Our president is a wordsmith.
Syllables are notes on a scale for Barack Obama, played deliberately and elegantly. He hears music when he speaks and so do we. The notes he chooses are revealing. He seldom plays what he does not intend.
As his inaugural address floated down the National Mall from the steps of the U.S. Capitol, we heard this comforting refrain: "We have never ... succumbed to the fiction that all society's ills can be cured through government alone."
The casual listener may have heard a call for balance and moderation, but the president's composition was breathtakingly radical.
There is no situation, he informed us, in which government is not indispensably needed. Sometimes, it may require a little help: Society's ills can't "be cured through government alone."
This president's audacity is no longer hope: Obama is pursuing a spectacularly bold and activist, big-government agenda.
He opposes austerity only for Washington: His attempt to protect our bloated government from the "sequester" was ferocious. Obama's apocalyptic warnings that the automatic budget cuts would "gut critical investments in ... education and national security" could make a professional alarmist such as Al Gore jealous.
Obama confronted the sequester deadline like a surgeon who could not bring himself to wield his scalpel upon a member of his own family. He rejected the authority to target the spending cuts himself, though he had called the alternative "a meat cleaver approach."
For Obama, taking personal responsibility for sparing one government program and not another was "Sophie's Choice": He loves them all equally and endlessly.
In this president's world, our government should never shrink. His vision of social equality requires expanding social programs to bring the poor up and higher taxes to bring the rich down.
Our only choice, to deal with the world's increasing complexity, is more political and artificial instruction from our antiquated, top-down public sector. This industrial age president tells us we have no alternative but government growth and the Washington do-gooding he terms "collective action."
Obama sees a changing world. He would change America to match his vision of it. What he doesn't see is the institution most in need of transformation: the government under his command.
Republican or Democrat, we would all like to see a new era of progress and prosperity for our country. We all hope this president will allow our economy to be as successful as his campaigns were.
To that end, perhaps we should explore if there is another, more modern way to deal with our evolving challenges and their accumulated complexity.
Years ago, in another essay, I offered the advice that follows to President Bill Clinton. Since Obama has dragged the Democratic Party back to the pre-Clinton, old Democrat "era of big government," I offer it again, with only modest revision. Let's discuss government in a way most of us can understand.
Let's talk about sex.
Hell of a mess, isn't it? Risky and inefficient. The eternal conflict between the sexes. The time wasted on courtship. So many failed relationships and so few successful ones. Why does Mother Nature spend such energy on the mating dance: The gravitational tug of brightly colored feathers or a sequined inaugural gown?
Half the genes here, half the genes there. The ungainly act required to mix those genes together. Is it all necessary?
Why are there two sexes? Wouldn't it be more efficient if, like the amoeba, there were but one? Perhaps, inspired by his Affordable Care Act, this president could lead the country to a "single-payer" sexual system? Wouldn't it spare us unnecessary expense and anxiety? Surely the architects of Obamacare could contrive a less troublesome method of reproduction, designing the thing from scratch.
Biologists have great jobs: They think about sex and explore such questions. Their answers, conveniently, boil down to this: Inefficiency and failure have advantages. For all its uncertainty, there are vast benefits in the tumultuous chaos of sex.

Appalachian unemployment mirrors spike in state data
Written by AVC NewsRegional jobless rate up in June, state officials reported on Tuesday
CAMBRIDGE, Ohio -- Local joblessness followed the rise in statewide unemployment in June.
The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services announced on Tuesday that Jefferson County had the area's highest jobless rate at 10.6 percent, followed by Monroe at 10.4 percent, and Noble County at 10.2 percent. Coshocton County is at 10 percent, Muskingum at 9.5 percent, and Harrison at 8.2 percent. Guernsey County checks in at 8.1 percent, Belmont at 7.3 percent, and Tuscarawas County has the area's lowest rate at 6.8 percent.
Ohio's unemployment rose to 7.2 percent in June with a loss of 12,500 jobs, the second largest of any state. The state's unemployment rate had been steady at 7 percent in April and May. Unemployment rates increased in 28 states in June, partly because more Americans began searching for work and not all of them got jobs.
Ohio's rate has consistently remained below the nation's rate, which was 7.6 percent last month.
For a closer look at Ohio labor statistics, visit the Ohio Bureau of Labor Market Information website.

BUTTE - A woman who was killed after getting out of a vehicle on Interstate 15 has been identified.
Peggy Joyce Witt, 61, was with a male driver, heading north on I-15 when they began arguing. The man pulled over the vehicle and Witt exited.
Two reports were made to the Anaconda Police Department about a woman wandering in the highway, wearing dark clothing.
While Montana Highway Patrol was responding to those calls, a chilling 911 call was made to Butte dispatch from the male driver, saying the woman had been struck.
The vehicle that struck Witt never stopped and continued north bound on I-15.
"Obviously somebody struck her and at that point they needed to stop so that we can identify them and determine what happened. Right now we just need to talk, you know somebody did strike her thinking they may have hit something else and not hit a person or whatever. They need to come talk to us so that we can determine what actually did happen," said Montana Highway Patrol Captain Gary Becker.
MHP recovered auto parts belonging to the vehicle involved in the incident.They have been sent away for analysis to determine the vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to call local authorities or the Montana Highway Patrol at 406-494-3233.
