Detective La Toya Got Married!
Right after I declared it a slow news day for me, the biggest story of the century decade year month week day hour hits: DETECTIVE LA TOYA GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF MARRIAGE! Release the doves!
Radar says that 57-year-old Toy Toy made her business partner/longtime friend Jeffre Phillips her second husband in L.A. today. If you're a conman murderer, now is the time to do some bad shit, because Detective La Toya is currently off the clock since she's busy celebrating her new marriage. La Toya's mother Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael I were both at the wedding. And I'm going to choose to believe that Blanket was the flower boy, because it would be a serious crime if he wasn't.
I've seen oJeffre on La Toya's reality show and his intricately plucked eyebrows make my lashes tingle and his pucker makes my prostate twitch. Jeffre Phillips (typing that name made me squirt out a drop of hummingbird juice) is the perfect husband for Detective La Toya, because he'll help her to elevate her eyebrow situation and he'll hold her hand tight as they get his and hers anal bleaching.
Congrats to Detective La Toya and her glitter-glazed husband friend.

Your Daily Dose Of Refined Elegance And Greasy Beauty
You're probably saying to me, "Bitch, must be a slow news LIFE if you're posting about Paz de la Huerta twice in two days." It's actually the opposite of that, thankyouverymuch. New pictures of Spaz de la Huerta are always TOP STORY BREAKING NEWS material and they're extra special, because the paparazzi have to work hard to get them since she's a reclusive artist of Greta Garbo proportions who shuns the spotlight and only comes out to accept awards…..or to go to parties with an open bar. (Yes, it's a slow day.)
Here's the mantequilla beauty going to Chateau Marmont with a camera-shy friend last night. Spaz always looks like she's been through some serious shit. She looks like she just spent the past 48 hours giving birth to 16 pound triplets in a wet sauna while detoxing from a heroin addiction. But even though it looks her face is going through something, her lipstick game stays stellar. That's how a true beauty does it.
Lindsay Lohan Ordered A Beat Down On Parasite Hilton's Little Brother
File this under: a story that will make you all warm and nostalgic for the glory days of 2005.
TMZ says that at a party in Miami last night, Lindsay Lohan thought she was a Crackhead Don or some shit when she made one of her friends whoop Barron Hilton's ass. Barron told police that someone at the party told LiLo that he was talking shit about her. LiLo got in his face and said, "You talk shit about me to my boyfriend, this is what you get," before one of her friends allegedly took his face to Beat Town. Barron says that LiLo laughed the entire time and egged her friend on. LiLo and her friend both got out of there before the cops showed up.
Barron told the cops that he has no idea who beat him up, but he knows that LiLo was the mastermind behind it. LiLo denies having anything to do with the fight, but TMZ has video of Barron's friends confronting her about it. Because Michael Lohan is permanently attached to LiLo's anus and knows everything, he told TMZ that she left the party before the fight started. Michael claims that even two security guards at the party will back her story up.
Finally, the Hilton vs. Lohan blood battle is back on! Everyone put on your head-to-toe Hazmat suit, because Lohan and Hilton fluids are about to fly. This story would really be a priceless jewel from the past if TMZ also reported that as this fight went down Parasite Hilton was in a corner booth using her hook nose to scoop up a bump of coke from the table while Fat Elvis yelled at the air. Those were the days.
Tracy Anderson Logic: Kale Juice And Twinkies Are Basically The Same Thing
If they ever need someone to play Janice's older, WASP-y, botox-obsessed sister in the next Muppets movie…
According to E! Online, GOOP-approved fitness gerbil (she looks like she spends 99.9% of her time running on a wheel at Petco) Tracy Anderson pulled out her Dictionary of Hyperbole during her interview with Refinery29 as she labeled our recent obsession with juicing 'the worst thing that ever became commercialized'. Worse than Pajama Jeans? YES WORSE THAN PAJAMA JEANS:
And that was just her intro. She went on to say: "If you're going to drink a non-organic green juice, you might as well eat a Twinkie. Or a half a Twinkie, at least," she said. "There's like 80 calories in it, there's a bunch of chemicals in it, what's the point? The only benefit [to juice] is that it's pre-digested and the Twinkie's not."
But it's the juices long term effects that she finds to be the real problem: "They crash people's metabolic rate," she shares, adding: "Now, the F.D.A. says they have to be pasteurized. So, you're drinking, basically, water that's going to give you Type 2 diabetes, potentially," she says.
In addition to comparing the veggie drinks to packaged dessert, she said that she is no longer is a fan of the raw vegan diet, mainly because it interfered with her reproductive system. "I wouldn't have my daughter [if I were still on the raw diet]. I lost my period for seven months because I went raw."
Two things she does approve of? A purely organic meal plan and daily exercise.
Please. More like What does Gwyneth approve of. [Ring ring] "Hi Tracy, It's Gwyneth. We're not into juicing or raw diets anymore, okay? I'll let you know what we're into after I come down from my 'neutering Vanity Fair' high."
I'm with Tracy, but not for the reasons you may think. I did a juice cleanse one time and it was – pardon my french – fucking bullshit. Everything I drank looked like it came from the prop room of You Can't Do That On Television and my legs felt like feathers. Also, you know when you're able to smell your own breath? Like you get secret whiffs of it here and there and you're like "whoah, that's definitely from me"? Juicing gives you that feeling all the time because it gives you OLD PEOPLE BREATH. So yes, I'd rather eat a Twinkie; it makes life less of a living nightmare.

Open Post: Hosted By James Franco's "Almost Nude" Selfie
The Andy Warhol of Instagram James Franco has followed up his BatFacial portrait with an even more artistic and Whitney-worthy photo of him throwing up the shaka sign (or maybe he's doing the "one in the pink, one in the stink" gesture?) during a topless bathroom selfie. James gave his Instagram followers a hairy nips and love handles supreme special today and threw up this note with it:
#Almostnude – YOu ASKED FOR IT, YOU GOT it. Tryna work that body, tryin', tryin'.
An almost nude? That's like an almost orgasm or an almost Double Double (which I guess is just a regular cheeseburger and people do order that, but I judge them for it). Where is the full nude? I know there's a giant dick in that picture, but where's the dick on that dick? I need to stop. True artists need time to stroke out their greatest masterpiece. So stroke on, Franco.
And I just read that last paragraph to myself. I should've just written, "I AM HARD UP," and called it a day.

I Think She Just Answered My Question About How Well 'Artpop' Is Doing
First she came for Madonna,
and I didn't speak out because I'm not Madonna.
Then she came for Boy George,
and I didn't speak out because I'm not Boy George.
Then she came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.
- Max Headroom, 2014 (ooooh, poem from the future! So spooky!)
Lady Gaga stepped out of a London hotel yesterday looking like (deep breath) a Culture Club fever-dream took a dump on an abandoned Limited Too store after ripping through every season of VH1′s I Love The 80s in the back of a MAC break room that has yet to have its gas leak fixed. What? Exactly. As long as she chooses to leave the house looking like an incoherent mess, then I'll keep writing like an incoherent mess. It's called tough love.
So here's the breakdown: Gaga is wearing Hailee Steinfeld's hat from True Grit, a shirt with a bunch of Picasso faces saying "Why me? What did I do to deserve this?", and makeup that looks like when you're a kid and you beg your sister or brother to let you do their makeup, and you try really hard for the first 5 minutes, but then you think "Why the fuck haven't I given them Misfits blush and a hitler moustache?" Also I think I see a penis (on the shirt, guys, on the shirt. But yes, Gaga does look like a fucking dickhead).
And Janine Melnitz from Ghostbusters, Mac Tonight, Snorks, and the cartoon mechanics from A-ha's Take On Me video need to call up Erin Brockovitch and prep a class action lawsuit against Lady Gaga, because it's only a matter of time before this stunt queen runs out of real people to steal from and starts ripping off non-reals. We're closer than you think to a music video where she runs through a fucking animated newspaper comic strip in circle glasses and a giant moon-mask with a tube coming out of her head. Won't somebody PLEASE think of the 80s?!?

The Hell Kind Of Vegan-Eating Outfit Is This?
A day before his born day on December 4th, Jay-Z announced to the world that he and Beyonce are going completely vegan for 22 days, because they want to cleanse themselves spiritually and physically. Haha. No, they're telling everyone they're going vegan for 22 days, because it's trendy and they're craving their favorite protein of all: attention.
I guess Blue Ivy Carter's creators aren't totally hugging all of the vegan lifestyle, because Beyonce showed up to vegan restaurant Cafe Gratitude in L.A. in a pepperoni pizza ensemble. So some vegan's sitting there eating his tempeh and wet leaves sandwich when Beyonce strolls in with cooked cow coins all over her body. She looked like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's Tumblr background. Okay, her outfit wasn't that serious and I'm sure nobody was offended, because nobody was in the restaurant since Jay-Z's bodyguards probably kicked all those grass eaters out of there!
So her pepperoni pizza ensemble wasn't that bad, but what she wore to a vegan restaurant the next day definitely made everybody in there roll their eyes to the left… to the left (I hate myself for typing that too). Beyonce ate at Native Foods in Westwood while wearing a Christopher Kane wool-blend parka with a fox fur collar. The Daily Mail has pictures of that foolery. Wearing real fur to a vegan restaurant… That's the corner where Dumb Fuck and Tacky Mess meet. But in Beyonce's defense, I'm sure that dead animal on her shoulders ate a plant-based diet while it was alive.
I can't wait to see what she's going to wear to a vegan restaurant today. I'm going to go with a beef jerky bikini and a lion carcass cape. No, too much. Beyonce's going to keep it demure by painting her naked body with pig's blood. She's going minimalist today!

Vanity Fair's "GOOP Takedown" Piece Is Going To Suck
In the battle between Vanity Fair and Goopy Paltrow, Goopy Paltrow has won. That's what Radar says anyway. The whitest and most pretentious war started when Vanity Fair wanted to do a cover story on Goopy and she shat on that offer, partly because she was on a 344-day diamond water and kumquat seed cleanse at the time, but mostly because she thinks the magazine is "off brand" for her. When VF made it clear they were going to do the story with or without her cooperation, she took out her 60 carat green diamond drop earrings (aka her daytime earrings), smeared rare Argan oil on her face, stuck Wusthof razors in her hair and declared war. Bitch was ready to fight.
Goopy supposedly told all of her friends to not talk to VF about her, and if they really wanted to be a VIP member of TEAM GOOP, they'd erase VF from their lives altogether. George Clooney sat in the bleachers on Goopy's side of the auditorium and Julia Roberts sat on Vanity Fair's side. LINES WERE DRAWN! Vanity Fair turned it up and started sniffing Goopy's crotch for the scent of billionaire dick. The piece was supposed to be a glorious takedown and it was supposed to make Christmas extra special this year. Well, Vanity Fair has turned out to be that deadbeat dad who promises a trunkful of Christmas presents, but on Christmas morning shows up with zero presents, because he spent his entire paycheck on booze and pussy. A source tells Radar that VF's Goop piece is going to be the opposite of scandalous.
"Whatever they wind up publishing, it's going to be soft. Gwyneth's campaign against the Vanity Fair article has apparently worked and she's not as worried as she was three weeks ago. But the article is still coming out and she still refuses to participate in it."
That's our cue to start singing, "Didn't We Almost Have It All" in unison.
The sad truth is I don't think VF's piece was ever going to be "hard." Reading their piece is going to be like trying to suck a load out of a soft peen. You're just going to keep reading and reading and reading hoping that something juicy will land on your eyes, but it won't. You know it, I know it, the soft peen knows it. I mean, it sounds like the most scandalous thing they had on her was that she might've passed her poon to some billionaire once. Who cares.
I bet that in the parlor of her London townhouse, Goopy and Graydon Carter are sipping sparkling dolphin tears after toasting to their STUNT QUEEN victory. Vanity Fair got some publicity and Goopy looks like she has the power to scare whores. We're the ones who really lost. I feel so used and I usually love that feeling.

Its been years since I've done it - this morning I fell off my bicycle in front of lots of people at a set of traffic lights. Rather embarrassing actually.
What happened is that I slowed down and did my normal trick of just edging forward a little, expecting the lights to change at any moment. In this case they did, but I'd stopped moving forward. So instead of accelerating, I all of a sudden had to worry about trying to unclip my cleat to stop me from falling. I was unsuccessful.
In slow motion, I could see the footpath coming closer and closer and there was nothing that I could do, except watch it come towards me.
Do you always unclip your cleat or do you prance around and balance that bicycle at the lights? Any tips to share?
Tags: balancing, cycling, falling+over, traffic+lights
One of my 1st rides many many years ago, in the days when I only had strap-in type pedals, forgot to loosen the strap coming up to the lights... of course the inevitable happened when I stopped... my one and only incident involving embarrasing acts in traffic!
if you wanna try and look "euro cool' and track stand at a set of lights you deserve what comes to ya.
I have straps rather then cleats but I too have fallen over quite a bit at lights, while trying to trackstand. I just laugh it off when it happens
I try to go approach the lights as slowly as possible and time it so i don't have to stop, or just get get a hold of a stobey pole/traffic light pole to balance myself without putting a foot down
Turn the front wheel pretty sharp to the uphill side, and sometimes a judicial squeeze of the front brake can help.
or, you know, get a fixie :)

Talked to a Toshiba sales person today and was told the Intel Chip is way faster than the AMD. I was referring to the AMD Quad core and they said that the Intel runs faster but yet costs more. Have never owned an Intel based computer. Any pro's or cons in my thinking. Looking for a Quad core AMD based laptop with a 6gb Ram, 640 HDD, decent sound. I do play games so a decent vid card would be nice. Anyone have any suggestions or links. Trying to stay under $500 but looking more and more like that won't be possible. I like Toshiba but am open to other brands.
if you dont plan of doing CPU intensive tasks like video encoding. compression, decrypting information etc. the AMD is your best bet. intel offers higher performance at a higher price. but 90% of the people wont need high performance as its just a laptop after all. if you only stress your CPU as far as gaming does, a nice A10 or A8 AMD APU based lappy will suit you well.
Personally I think Toshiba has the best laptops especially for longevity. My 6 year old Toshiba notebook with a Intel Core 2 Duo is still running as if I bought it last year. I also have an AMD based HP Tri-Core that I bought a year ago, based on Phenom II. The Toshiba still outperforms the HP by far IMO. That said, when it come to graphics, AMD is king, and for a good performing notebook, graphics plays a huge role. Looking at your $500 budget, I recommend an AMD Trinity based APU based notebook. If you up your budget, then look for a new Intel Quad but with AMD/NV Graphics. No Intel Graphics, they suck. Looking around, hard to find a good notebook for under $1000, let alone $500. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834216031 With this notebook, you can upgrade your Ram. (Max Memory Supported 16GB)
I have to agree with this - I work on a lot of laptops from brands like acer, asus, dell, etc - toshiba is above all my favorite. their hardware seems to last longer and be more stable, and that results in fewer software issues as well. as far as intel vs amd, de das dude is right. unless you are doing something really cpu intensive, imo it's simply not worth the extra cost. my main rig is an intel - but i really do use the cpu. my server and htpc are both amd, and the htpc is great for gaming. no sense spending more if you won't use it.
Agreed 100%. Worked with both HP and Acer, and am not really impressed, but only because I used a Toshiba , and now own one. Toshiba's just feel like they have a solid build quality and top notch software and performance.
If you are going after gaming and want to stay under $500 then you are almost certainly going to have to go with the integrated GPU. In that case AMD actually kills Intel. AMD offers less CPU performance but more GPU performance with their integrated graphics. The AMD CPU performance would still be adequate though.
Just to follow up, if you are looking the $500 max range it pretty much comes down to the following: i3-3110M w/ HD4000 Graphics vs. A8-4500M w/ 7640G Graphics The i3 is a dual core w/ Hyperthreading, the A8 is a Quad-Core, but performance wise I believe the i3 is actually slightly faster in most tasks, unless the task is heavly multi-threaded and takes advantage of the extra cores on the A8. However, the 7640G is way better than the HD4000 in games. This seems to be the Toshiba you have your eye on, and I'd say that it is a good laptop for sure. Personally, I'd save the $50 and go with this Acer. But that is only because I know I'd be upgrading to 8GB of RAM pretty quickly, as well as putting in a 750GB Seagate XT drive, so I'd want to save the money upfront and put it towards the upgrades I wanted to do, since going with the more expensive Toshiba only gets me slightly more memory and a bigger hard drive, which I'd just be replacing anyway.
Asus stacks up as well as Toshiba laptops..... OP, if your looking to game on a $500 LAPTOP your barking up the wrong tree. $500 laptops do not have very good graphics for gaming
It can handled pretty much all modern games, especially considering the resolution on a $500 laptop is almost certainly going to be 1366x768 or maybe 1600x900. The 7650G can handle gaming on low-medium settings at that resolution.
and you will be lucky to get 30FPS Especially if they have stuck cheap ram in it if you go buying a laptop AND EXPECTING It to run games(OF ANY variety) you are out of your mind not gonna happen for $500.00 and no cdawall is wrong while the 7650G can handle most OLDER titles(2 and 3 years old) its far from capable of running "all modern games" especially if they stick 1333 ram in it and the toshiba rep is correct intels chips use less power and are ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE faster then the amd chips
So get a $36 ram kit and move on with your day ADATA XPG Gaming Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3... Not exactly a deal breaker IMO. It can and will run all modern games the question is can you handle the resolution and settings.
CD, this can be debated for days, plain and simple, your not going to run many games on high settings with any $500 laptop bud.
Don't remember saying you could simply that it would play most games low/med at the native resolution.
Pretty much this for around $500. Not much of a difference between the two integrated graphics. They both suck at gaming.
That's a great kit on something that supports it. AMD spec's the A8-4500M with 1600/1600L/1333L that is the reason I went for the CAS9 DDR1600 would be the best kit that is fully supported. Trust me going from 1333 CAS9 to 1600 CAS9 will make a difference. http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7640G.69836.0.html They are not horrible results for gaming.
AMD says it should work http://products.amd.com/(S(zmxtpl45...tebookAPUDetail.aspx?id=35&f1&f2&f3&f4&f5&f6&
Really, my brazos can run modern games at low settings how do you explain that? the A10 APU is capable of playing most games on medium settings at 720p
$500 and under...I own a few... If you wait for the sales at the Dell Outlet, whether the business side or the home office side. You can pick up an i5 3210 with an HD 4000 for $360 to $400. An Inspiron 2520 would be a really good candidate...and it will play most modern games at decent enough settings(just check out YT for samples). I personally beat/played Borderlands II on one and it was buttery smooth. Anything less and you'll be slightly disappointed. Although, an i3-2370 with an HD 3000 is close...I've played on both, the latter i3 is borderline and really doesn't cut it in comparison with the HD 4000. If you have to have a discreet graphics card...it probably is doable at just over $500, but the cards in that range aren't all that great... If I was to purchase a laptop now...I'd sit and wait until the Dell Latitude 5520 or 5530(I prefer the 5520) went on sale and nab an i5-3210. I think you'd be pretty happy with the results. I personally use this a8 at home. Best laptop I've ever owned - period. Not the greatest gamer, but it will do light gaming and it has the best keyboard I've ever typed on. It will run most of the games I play just fine, but I wouldn't consider it a gaming laptop... Click Here I recently also purchased an HP M6 with an A8...it will do what the Ivy Bridge laptops do and I think it gamed just as well. If you run into one of these M6's cheap...they're also a good candidate. Damn good looking too. Walmart had them in stock for awhile, but they're getting hard to find. Pretty thin too, about 80-90% thickness of the Pavilion DV6's. Best, Liquid Cool

The Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal also opened its doors on the Place des Arts site in 1992. A concert hall, La Maison symphonique de Montréal, was constructed on the Place des Arts site and opened on September 7, 2011.
- What is the Société de la Place des Arts de Montréal's mission?
Place des Arts plays a vital role on the Québec and Montréal stage. Not only is it at the forefront of the development of local performing arts and of Québec's openness to the international artistic world, it is also one of the key players. Its more than four decades of history are marked by magnificent events and discoveries.
As a public organization serving all Quebecers, the Société de la Place des Arts is devoted to showcasing the performing arts. It manages six performance halls in Montréal, as well as the Amphithéâtre Fernand-Lindsay in the Lanaudière region. Place des Arts is home to major artistic organizations, and works to make various forms of the performing arts accessible and to promote Québec's artistic and cultural life.
- Who manages Place des Arts?
The Société de la Place des Arts de Montréal is a provincial crown corporation reporting to the Minister of Culture and Communications, Mr. Maka Koto, who annually approves its budget and business plan. The Société is administered by a board of directors made up of 11 members, chaired by Jean Laurin, President and CEO of GVA Devencore – Montréal. The government appoints board members on the recommendation of the Minister of Culture and Communications, after consultations with representative organizations in the cultural milieu. The board of directors meets at least five times per year. The President and Chief Executive Officer of Place des Arts, Marc Blondeau, also sits on the Société's board of directors; he is supported in his daily duties by a team of eight directors.
- How is Place des Arts funded?
Place des Arts receives subsidies for its building and operations from the Government of Québec. Currently, about 85% of operating revenues are from own-source revenues.
- Why is Place des Arts referred to as the largest cultural complex in the country?
Place des Arts is made up of six performance halls comprising a total of 8,000 seats. During the 2011-2012 artistic season, it offered over 1,000 performances, and close to one million spectators attended the various shows that were presented here.
- How is Place des Arts' programming determined?
As the main presenter of performing arts in Québec, Place des Arts showcases the full range of artistic expression in its halls and on its outdoor Esplanade.
Place des Arts acts as a co-producer or co-presenter of several events and programmes over the course of the artistic season. For example, in 2009-2010, it was the initiator or partner of close to 300 performances and activities, representing close to 25% of its programming.
The performances by Place des Arts' resident companies in 2009-2010—the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, the Opéra de Montréal, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, and Compagnie Jean Duceppe—also accounted for about 30% of Place des Arts' programming.
In addition, Place des Arts hosted close to 500 shows and events with the collaboration of over one hundred producers from very diverse backgrounds. Hall rentals to these various producers represent a little over 45% of the overall number of performances offered, ranging from premieres of Québec films to the staging of major festivals. Classical music, theatre, song, pop music, comedy, dance in all its forms, along with jazz and blues regularly take centre stage in Place des Arts' performance halls.
Place des Arts' programming is intended for audiences of all ages and includes shows by artists from home and abroad.
- What is the mission of the Fondation de la Place des Arts?
The mission of the Fondation de la Place des Arts is to support the Société de la Place des Arts de Montréal by making financial contributions to the realization of projects and activities that are in keeping with its artistic and cultural mission, and to promote, among other things, education and audience awareness of the performing arts, especially among young people; accessibility to local and visiting artistic productions for various population groups; audience development through innovative projects carried out by Place des Arts alone or in collaboration with partners; and artistic research, experimentation, and creation.
- What is La Maison symphonique?
In compliance with the most stringent international norms for acoustics, stage design, and architecture, the Maison symphonique de Montréal—inaugurated on September 7, 2011—is built to the high standards followed by the designers of the best concert halls in the world. Designed to showcase all musical genres, the new hall has a capacity of 2,100 seats in the absence of choir members. It is the home of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and the Orchestre métropolitain. The new hall can also host smaller ensembles like Les Violons du Roy or the McGill Chamber Orchestra. Song recitals, choirs, and even jazz musicians and popular artists can perform in the hall.
- What is the relationship between the Société de la Place des Arts de Montréal and the Amphithéâtre Fernand-Lindsay?
Place des Arts has been the administrator and owner of the Amphithéâtre Fernand-Lindsay in Joliette since 1995. Each year, the Festival de Lanaudière—the largest classical music event in the country—stages its event there, welcoming tens of thousands of people during the summer season. Place des Arts is also in charge of the artistic programming of this amphitheatre during off-Festival periods.
- Has Place des Arts gone green?
Place des Arts has acted in accordance with the Government Sustainable Development Strategy 2008-2013 by adopting a sustainable development policy, as well as an initial plan of action. The Société intends to play an important role in improving the quality of life of citizens of Québec, with a view to ensuring fairness towards current and future generations. Here are the broad lines of its policy:

HELENA - A Helena man accused of running a marijuana grow operation was sentenced to one year in prison.
Paul Roy Schmidt, 57, pleaded guilty to manufacturing marijuana and money laundering. He was sentenced in federal court in Helena by Senior U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell to 12 months in prison, four years supervised release and a $750,000 money judgment.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, a federal search warrant was executed in May 2011 at which time law enforcement found 289 marijuana plants, three gallon-size bags of marijuana, other marijuana ready for distribution, $913 taken from a cash register, assorted edibles - brownies, rice crispy treats, oatmeal bars, marijuana oils, lotions, soaps, creams; a ledger and a log book of items sold, and receipts for marijuana transactions.
Investigators determined that Schmidt made money from selling marijuana and used the money to continue growing and selling the drug at a distribution center in Helena.
The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

A short fanfare for orchestra. Excuberantly brassy and straight to the point, it's a bit of Alan Silvestri meets Copland.
Wow, great piece!! You could sell this. I think it sounds fantastic, nice development and great midi sequencing!
What sound library did you use?
What sound library did you use?
Thanks! For brass, I use the new CineBrass library from Cinesamples for most of it with a touch of Project SAM and Sample Modeling's The Trumpet. Strings are Hollywood Strings, percussion is VSL and woodwinds are a combination of VSL and HollyWoodWinds.
It's all first rate. I look forward to hearing more of your uploads in the future.
I agree with rsteffens. It is pretty darn sweet. And I loved how you ended it. It provides a nice contrasting "closer" to the excitement of the brass throughout the piece. I'm impressed.
Epic. I can hear the Silvestri, definitely, whom which I'm a big fan.
Well done! It's nice to see a fellow VI Control member here!
I love the synthesis of the styles. Copland-esque diatonicism with Silvestri's energy is a great combination. Well done!
I would have liked a little bit more realistic reverb though.

WOW!! When it comes to music, I love film and video game music the most. I enjoyed listening to this. Great Composition...
Didn't realize this topic was still active, but thanks everyone!

Not only is still active - this piece is actually on the running for YC Awards - The Composition Poll as one of the two top incidental pieces. This is how good the community values your work - congrats.
nice piece ! the brass line is very solid ! specially how you divide the brass section in some parts of the piece in such a way that it seems like they are talking to each other ! great piece
Brilliant ! Am really loving the strong brass and the vibrant strings! Nothing stands out in an overbearing or harsh way. Everything blends together smoothly.

Think I might be pregnant
Hi I am wondering if I am pregnant...?i have been nausea but gone now for a week and was bleeding for one night and next day was brown blood stains on undies and now the bleeding is back again? Confused am I pregnant or my body playing. Ind tricks on me laughing
26th September 2013 05:16 AM #2
Dear Manders,
Welcome to the forum. When is your period due and when was your last period? Are you trying for a baby?
Pregnancy stops your normal periods, although you can also get 'implantation bleeding' or 'breakthrough bleeding' around the time your period is due. Some women do also just bleed in pregnancy and this is normal for them. However, sadly a miscarriage can also cause bleeding in pregnancy.
Did you take a home urine pregnancy test?
Stress, illness and certain medication can also cause nausea and changes in a woman's menstrual cycle.
If you are still unsure as to what has caused the bleeding/ changes in your period then you should see your doctor.
Best wishes,

Brazeros Musical De Durango
The six youths of Brazeros Musical de Durango met while studying in music school. Grupo Montéz de Durango were wildly popular among the young musicians and their peers at the time, and it occurred to them that they might be able to form such a group. Several friends got together with their instruments to improvise and jam together using computer-generated sounds to fill in the gaps. It was not long before the lineup was filled and the group began playing for parties and community dances. A local agent, Juan Loredo, took an interest and approached them about representation. Of course, being between the ages of 14 and 21, los Brazeros met with Loredo and their cautious parents before making any decisions. Only a few short months later, los Brazeros's debut CD, El Errante, was released on Terrazas Records. Public demand was so great that the record sold more than 15,000 copies in under a month. Their follow-up record, Buscando Amores, for Loredo Records, opened doors to performing stateside in duranguense's capitol city, Chicago. A warm reception there led to regular airplay and an ever-growing fan base. The duranguense audience found their youthful looks and endless energy irresistible. With a noticeable presence on the charts since 2004 and a contract with the powerful Disa label, the six young men of Brazeros Musical de Durango established a strong position for themselves even before all their members could legally drive. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, Rovi

Optical systems were limited by the wavelength of light (roughly 2,000 times the diameter of an atom). Later, electron microscopes achieved much higher resolution by taking advantage of the much shorter wavelength of electrons in forming images. The most recent revolution came with Heinrich Rohrer and Gerd Karl Binnig's scanning tunneling microscope (STM), invented in 1981, which provided the first images of individual atoms on the surfaces of materials. The STM can image atomic details as tiny as 1/25th the diameter of a typical atom, which corresponds to a resolution several orders of magnitude better than the best electron microscope. The STM's significance was quickly recognized throughout the world, and it has been used in fields as diverse as semiconductor science, metallurgy, electrochemistry, and molecular biology. Only five years after Binnig and Rohrer built the first STM, they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. Binnig and Rohrer began their STM work at the . . . .

Reduced breakdown liners
Our improved injection port liner reduces breakdown of endrin and DDT during injections while increasing the interval between liner changes.
The problem
DDT and Endrin are easily degraded in the injection port; with non-deactivated liners and those filled with non-deactivated glass wool, Endrin breakdown can be as high as 98%. EPA method 8081A states "If degradation of either DDT or Endrin exceeds 15%, take corrective action before proceeding with calibration."
The solution
Liner deactivation is the most critical step in preventing breakdown. Now VICI Gig Harbor Group has discovered that when we apply a highly crosslinked siloxane over a conventionally deactivated liner, the result is an injection port liner that contributes less to breakdown than any other component of the injection system.

Teens give special needs adults in Wimbledon a lesson in sport
6:00am Thursday 29th August 2013 in Sport By Lauren May, Chief Reporter
A dozen young people volunteered to give sporting lessons to adults with learning difficulties at the All Saints Centre in Wimbledon on Tuesday.
The teens were taking part in the National Citizens Service, a government funded scheme to bring young people together to contribute to their community, provided by The Challenge Network.
Alfie Saxby, 16, from Chessington, said: "I was worried at first about the day because I've never taught adults with special needs before.
"I really enjoyed communication with them, and hearing their stories."

What's better than warm and fluffy pancakes?
FREE warm and fluffy pancakes!
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and IHOP restaurants will celebrate National Pancake Day next Tuesday, Feb. 28, by offering a free short stack of its famous buttermilk pancakes to guests from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
In exchange, diners will be asked to leave a small donation behind for West Virginia University Children's Hospital.
I guess that technically doesn't make the pancakes "free."
But I'll bet the warm-and-fuzzy you get knowing you've helped those in need will make them taste even better going down.
The chain hopes to raise some $2.7 million for affiliated Children's Miracle Network Hospitals this year. For more information, check out www.ihoppancakeday.com.

I don't know whether this is already posted or you already know. I just want to share to the people here. So, cheers
The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).
In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy.
Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by " v".
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst place....
Who care about assists? You still lose
its very funny to someone that dont know the languages involved, german in particular
it detracts from the funny part that it was supposed to be the british that renamed their english, since you know.. theyre english and live in England.
i think its one of those jokes that are only funny if you dont think about it
heh. well nto that funny in my opinion. Im austrian and the typical german - english accent is mostly a lie.
We do have a strong accent but it doesnt sounds like this.
The funny thign actually is that German is the most spoken language in Europe and English definitly not. Even french has more speakers.
Oh please, you only won because USA decided to join the war!
(About 5 years after my country had been invaded and occupied by the nazis)
If the americans hadnt stepped in (About 5 years after my country had been invaded and occupied by the nazis) then we would all be speaking german today! (like we were for 5 years during WW2 because the nazis had invaded and occupied our country).
Besides, what good has the british ever given us? Is monty python as funny as Dane Cook? Can The Who hold a candle to the Jonas Brothers?
Will Pink Floyd ever be as good as Pink?
And dont get me started on Queen... I mean Queen just dont match up to the songs in A Knights Tale where fat people are slapping their fat legs and stomping the ground, almost in rhythm.
So why dont you just go sit down britty!
No im not interested in hearing about Zeppelin, Sex Pistols or Beatles. But please tell me more about world of warcraft, britney spears and mcdonalds.
EDIT: Mitchell and Webb are the only good american comedians ever, and theyre dead!

2011 Loretta Lynn Amateur Motocross Championship (video part 2 of series)
The 2011 Loretta Lynn Amateur Motocross Championship is this August. The event represents the absolute heart and soul of American motocross. First started in 1982, this year will mark the race's 30th anniversary. The racing is held every year at Loretta's dude ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. For the second year in a row, Red Bull will be the headline sponsor, along with Amsoil. All the top sponsors will be scouting for professional talent. Earning a championship here is no easy feat…the motocross racing has been described as possibly the most competitive dirt bike racing in the world. 52 Area Qualifiers and 12 Regional Championship events were hosted earlier this year at motocross tracks across the country. The top placed riders from those qualifiers are the "elite few" that get to compete. Out of approximately 25,000 racers, just 1,400 will make it to Loretta's. The 2011 championship races will be held from August 1 to 6, and a total of 35 champions will be crowned. This "Road to Loretta's" video is part 2 of a new series made for television. It highlights the stories of several amateur motocross racers from across the country and their quest for a championship title. Motocross legends such as Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto, and Ryan Dungey all got their start at "the ranch". Dave Coombs Sr. and Paul Shlegel are the original founding fathers of this historic event, the most prestigious amateur motocross race in the world. Chronic MX will be there to capture and report the action, hope to see you there! Cheers, Rocket 88.

Music Review: Journeys to Genius 'Mozart: Touched by the Gods'
Date: October 21, 2009
by: June LeBell
Journeys to Genius 'Mozart: Touched by the Gods'
Leif Bjaland, artistic director and conductor of the Sarasota Orchestra, can now add some new titles to his name: writer and narrator. And, with "Mozart: Touched by the Gods," the orchestra's newest multi-media performance, we might start wondering if Bjaland's trying to emulate the man with whom he shares his initials, because it was Leonard Bernstein who, in the last century, initiated the most successful multi-media dialogues in music.
For the special Oct. 10 concert in the Sarasota Opera House, Bjaland pulled out all the stops, using two screens, lots of poignant, amusing and clever Power Point pictures and, best of all, a real sense of 21st-century style, old-fashioned music drama to introduce us to the "real" story of Mozart's genius.
Seamlessly weaving commentary into and over live music, he brought a sense of timeless history to Mozart's life that made this intermission-less event fly by; the performance was crammed with facts, funnies and fast-paced photos of everything Mozart, from operas and overtures to chamber music and symphonies.
Videographer Clyde Scott and his assistant, Justin Trieger, added their expertise, but the real stars of the evening were Bjaland and the orchestra, who took us through much of Mozart's short life, dispelling myths such as the composer's death by poison and burial in a pauper's grave to some legends about his family and youth. There was even a wonderful reference to Mozart's fanfare-like openings, which were likened to the 20th Century Fox sonic signature — complete with visual and sound effects — followed by an example of a Mozart symphonic fanfare, with a slide reading: "Eighteenth Century Fox." Wonderful!
Finally, the narrative and videos led us to the evening's raison d'etre: Mozart's "Jupiter" (his 41st and final symphony). We'd heard excerpts all along the way. Now, we were treated to a complete performance and, by this time, it was an old family friend, welcomed and understood without words.
The video cameras stayed on, showing us the inner voices of the orchestra and leading us into another intimate, innovate and inspiring evening with the musicians.
