When Sheriff Deputies brought this dejected poodle to us, he was so severely matted that his fur was pulling and ripping his skin. He was caked in feces, mud, urine and debris. His coat was so long, matted and corded we immediately knew this poodle had been neglected for years. He was beginning to shut down. Lethargic and in pain. Tragically, the worst was yet to be discovered ... from his shoulders down to his tail, he was infested with maggots. Most would give up on this pitiful boy. But his spirit stole our hearts and we're doing all we can to give him love, happiness, and human kindness. Something he may never have known before. Considering his circumstances... we named him Magic.

I used the Ritz Camera in the Cambridgeside Galleria Mall in Boston. Their prints were okay, but service so-so to bad. "One hour" sometimes meant 90 minutes.
For film they were okay to just jump in and out of. As could be expected the staff knew little to nothing about film. Last summer I went in and asked for Tri-X or TMAX, a girl behind the desk said "So, it has to Kodak all the time, huh?" When I said "Ok, do you have any Fuji B&W?" she reached for the Superia. Another guy behind the counter said "No, that's color film. He wants black and white." She just gave me a rude look.
Too bad, really. I used to use their one hour service to test cameras.

A high school principal in Everett, MA has come under fire after making an objectionable video and screening it for students. Shown during morning announcements, Erick Naumann is seen stalking the halls of the school as "The Naumannator." Inter-cut with scenes from Terminator 2: Judgement Day of a burning playground and Linda Hamilton struggling to escape an armed assailant, the video is just awful. Especially now.
It was just all wrong. The only way this could have gone more poorly would be if he had dressed up as the Joker.
Roy Barrows, the school's technology teacher who helped make the video, also received a two-day suspension. However, I'd argue that his sentence should be more severe. He's supposed to be teaching kids this stuff. The lighting, the acting. Just terrible. And you call that editing?!?!? (Boston.com)

New York Times '13 Q4 report reveals increase in online subscribers amid decline in ad revenue
Inspite of an increase in the number of digital subscribers, the New York Times' ad revenues declined by 1.3 percent, according to the report on its fourth-quarter 2013 earnings.
While the digital subscriber growth of 19pc from fourth-quarter 2012 to the same period in 2013 boosted circulation revenue, the newspaper finished the year with about 760,000 paid online subscribers.
The New York Times CEO Mark Thompson, said in a press release that advertising revenue showed notable improvement in the second half of the year, adding that ad revenues in the fourth quarter were down 1pc on a like-for-like basis, excluding that extra week in 2012, the best quarterly performance in more than three years, the Mashable reported.
Meanwhile, digital ad revenue fell 0.2 percent, whereas, print adverts reported a lesser decline of 1.6 percent when compared to its previously recorded figures.

Seinfeld: The Truth
by Joel Keller, posted Jun 7th 2006 8:38PM
Do not adjust your web browser. You are now entering the Retro Squad, where we are reviewing past episodes of your favorite shows, in order, every week.
(S03E02) Like I said last week, the reason why I picked this season of Seinfeld to review was because Season Three is the first one that's, well, Seinfeld-ian. But it still took a while, especially early on, for the show to find a groove. This episode, "The Truth", is an example of that: really funny, but a little slow in parts.
There's two plots here, one that overwhelms the other: George breaks up with Patrice, an accountant who's going to help Jerry with an audit, and tells her the truth, calling her pretentious. Patrice runs away to a mental hospital, where George and Jerry visit her in an attempt to get his tax papers back. Meanwhile, Elaine's not co-existing very well with her roommate Tina's new boyfriend, who just happens to be Kramer.
Observations and awards:
Best line: When Jerry says that an audit is like "the financial equivalent of a complete rectal examination." I like how Elaine briefly looks up from filing her nails when he says that, then goes back to the filing.
Best facial expression: Not really an expression but a dance: when Elaine reveals to Jerry that Kramer saw her naked the last time he was over to visit Tina, she's so skeeved out she does this little Flashdance-esque step and says, "Jerry, how can I go on?"
Best Kramerism: The dance Kramer does to the tribal music. When Elaine comes home from work, she encounters Kramer doing that dance wearing nothing but a little towel. It has to be seen to be appreciated.
More observations and DVD-extra tidbits:
- Too bad they didn't show more examples of Patrice's pretension. One little sign that I never noticed before: she brought her own salt and pepper to the coffeeshop. You can see her put a little pepper grinder and a salt shaker in her purse as she gets up to leave after George unloads on her.
- This is the first time we hear George's middle name: Louis. According to the "Notes on Nothing", the name is a tribute to Lou Costello.
- From a purely guy-ish perspective, I really, really love how Elaine/Julia dressed in those days, with the denim jackets and the cowboy boots. It was the perfect "early-'90s bohemian New Yorker" look that appealed to me quite a bit back then. Elaine's conversion to business clothes and less-poofy hair in Season Seven really helped make Elaine more caustic and less appealing.
- This is one of the few times they tried to insert smoke in Jerry's stand-up segements, to make it look more like a real nightclub. But the smoke couldn't be regulated well so they dropped it.
- The windshield coffee table Kramer creates for Tina is the first dalliance Kramer has with coffee tables, which will culmiate with his coffee table book about coffee tables two seasons later.
- Patrice threw out the only copy of Jerry's tax forms, not his receipts. In fact, Jerry and Kramer are seen in the first segment going through Jerry's receipts. But after his and George's visit with Patrice in the rest home, we see Jerry calling and looking for another receipt. I never realized this was a plot hole until the DVD's "Notes on Nothing" pointed it out. It's interesting that they'd call themselves out like that.
- The first episode not directed by Tom Cherones. This one was directed by sitcom veteran David Steinberg. Also the first episode written by a woman, Elaine Pope.

Notebook: Twins consider Doumit a catcher; Perkins will not close
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
On Wednesday the Twins officially announced the signing of catcher Ryan Doumit to a one-year deal worth $3 million.
Regarding Doumit's positional flexibility, general manager Terry Ryan said in a conference call, "First and foremost we consider Ryan a catcher," but he added that a large part of the appeal was Doumit's ability to play first base, right field and DH.
Doumit admitted that first base is the position he feels least comfortable at, but he is willing to play anywhere.
One problem with Doumit is his rich injury history -- eight disabled list stints since 2005, including missing 57 games last season with a broken ankle he sustained in a home-plate collision.
"I feel like I've been snake-bit," Doumit said when asked about injuries. And he has a point. Doumit's last two DL stints -- 57 games last year and 15 games in 2010 -- were due to the broken ankle and a concussion.
Perkins won't close
In the wake of Joe Nathan's departure, the Twins are in search of a new closer. The logical in-house replacement is left-hander Glen Perkins, who posted a 2.48 ERA with 65 strikeouts and only 16 non-intentional walks in 61 2/3 innings last season.
But Ryan made it clear Perkins will not be the closer in 2012.
"I think it's a little bit early," Ryan said, referring to Perkins' experience level.
"History says you might want to have somebody with experience... Usually people pitch themselves into that position."
That may or may not be true, but either way Perkins is probably more valuable in the seventh and eighth innings, where he can provide more versatility. By pitching only in the ninth inning, Perkins -- the team's best reliever -- would likely only pitch when the Twins lead, and many of those leads will be two- or three-run leads.
As a set-up guy, Perkins will pitch in tied games, games where the Twins trail by a run, and he'll enter games to put out fires.
Cuddyer, Kubel to be offered arbitration
The deadline for teams to offer their own free agents arbitration is at 11 p.m. Wednesday, and Ryan confirmed the Twins plan to offer arbitration to Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel, but not Matt Capps.
In order to be eligible for draft-pick compensation, the Twins must offer arbitration to Cuddyer and Kubel. If those players choose to decline arbitration and wind up signing elsewhere, the Twins would receive draft picks.
In Capps' case, the Twins have no reason to offer arbitration. With the announcement of a new collective bargaining agreement on Tuesday, Major League Baseball made some modifications to the current free-agent rankings.
Capps was among a handful of players demoted from Type-A to Type-B. Ordinarily the Twins would still have to offer Capps -- who made $7.5 million last season -- arbitration to be eligible for compensation, but the new rule allows them to receive a draft pick either way.
So instead of running the risk of Capps accepting arbitration, and an inflated salary, the Twins have chosen to continue discussions for a (presumably) cheaper contract.

State Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne, is tackling a hefty task heading into the 2014 legislative session: Craft a bill detailing $500 million in tax and fee cuts.
The Melbourne Republican chairs the Finance & Tax Subcommittee, which was tasked by Gov. Rick Scott and House Speaker Will Weatherford to identify the cuts in light of a projected budget surplus.
"I'm trying to make sure that $500 million goes directly into the pockets of citizens," Workman said. "In recent years, we've been assigning funds for business incentives to help fight unemployment. Now, if there's a surplus, let's concentrate on the citizens.
"Let's give them back some of their money," he said.
Workman said his subcommittee's bill will likely be released to the public about the second week of the legislative session. John Tobia, R-Melbourne Beach, also serves on the subcommittee.
Reductions in vehicle registration fees, which were increased in 2009, are expected to comprise much of the $500 million sum. Workman said cell phone fees are another target, and his draft bill would declare infant car seats, diapers and oral hygiene products tax-free goods.
Workman also supports a one-year fee holiday for start-up businesses, which would net about $35 million in cuts.

Carpet bag

A carpet bag is a traveling bag made of carpet, commonly from an oriental rug, ranging in size from a small purse to a large duffel bag.
The carpet bag was not invented as a pocketbook or handbag for women. Rather, it was the day's version of our modern suitcase that operated as a reliable traveling companion and carrier of a person's possessions. As explained in the Scientific American Supplement, No. 561, October 2, 1886: "The old-fashioned carpet bag... is still unsurpassed by any, where rough wear is the principal thing to be studied. Such a bag, if constructed of good Brussels carpeting and unquestionable workmanship, will last a lifetime, provided always that a substantial frame is used."[1]
Such bags were popular in the United States and Europe during the 19th century. They are still made in the 2010s, but now typically as women's decorative small luggage and purses, although typically no longer out of old carpets. Carpet was the chosen material because, during the time, carpet in homes was a popular accent piece and the "remainder" pieces were easily bought to use for the construction of carpet bags. In a sense, the carpet bag was a sustainable invention because it used remnants of materials which otherwise would have gone unused.
The carpetbaggers of the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War were given their name from this type of luggage which they carried.
Carpet bags sometimes also served as a "railway rug", a common item in the 19th century for warmth in drafty, unheated rail-cars. The rug could either be opened as a blanket, or latched up on the sides as a traveling bag. From Robert Louis Stevenson's Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879): "... my railway-rug, which, being also in the form of a bag, made me a double castle for cold nights."[2]
One of the most popular carpet bag brands of the mid 1960s (known as "the California Carpetbagger") is Jerry Terrence: The Original Carpet Bag, or JT Carpet Bag.[3] The company encouraged the use of brand new carpet material.[4]
In Jules Verne's novel Around the World in Eighty Days, Phileas Fogg and Passepartout bring only a carpet bag as luggage, which holds a few items of clothing and 20,000 British pounds.

The primary focus of my research is language comprehension in young children and adults. With infants I study their ability to comprehend references to absent objects. In particular, I am interested in ways their memory and representational abilities shape their language comprehension.
With adults and preschoolers I study the relation between grammatical structures and mental representation. Specifically, I am interested in how the choice of syntax affects what the listener represents when processing speech. I am also interested in how the speaker's perceived situation influences the choice of grammatical structures.
Overall I favor modal views on language comprehension and plan to study more closely processes like mental simulation and imagery during word, sentence and text processing at different ages.

This outfit is completed with Canon's premium 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Zoom Lens.
Exceptional digital SLR with exclusive 8.2 Megapixel Canon CMOS Sensor and DIGIC II Image Processor
8.2 Megapixel CMOS Sensor - Canon's large-area CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.5 x 15.0mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. The EOS 30D has an extensive ISO range (from 100 to 1600 plus ISO 3200 in extended mode), which is selectable in 1/3-stop increments. The sensor features a newly developed set of narrow-gap microlenses and noise reduction circuits to improve performance at high ISO values, and optimized photodiode configurations for improved performance at all ISO values. This results in larger, clearer, sharper and more detailed photographs right from the start.
DIGIC II Image Processor - The EOS 30D is the product of Canon's extensive in-house development: The DIGIC II Image Processor was designed specifically for Canon digital SLRs and enhances every aspect of image capture. Information captured by the CMOS sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional quality. With the DIGIC II Image Processor on board, photographers can expect natural color reproduction, precise white balance in any number of lighting situations and unparalleled clarity. The DIGIC II Image Processor employs sophisticated signal processing algorithms and works at greater speeds, all while consuming less energy. The entire processing chip - not just the software that drives it - is dedicated for use in a digital still camera.
User-selectable high-speed and low-speed continuous shooting at 5 fps or 3 fps up to 30 (JPEG), 11 (RAW) or 9 (RAW+JPEG) consecutive frames when set at 5 fps and fast 0.15-second startup time
Every function optimized for fast RAW and JPEG capture - User-selectable high-speed and low-speed continuous shooting at 5 fps or 3 fps up to 30 (JPEG), 11 (RAW) or 9 (RAW+JPEG) consecutive frames when set at 5 fps and fast 0.15-second startup time
The EOS 30D is one of the fastest cameras Canon has ever produced. Incorporating the fast operation of the EOS 20D, the 30D allows users to specify high-speed 5 fps or a new low-speed 3 fps continuous shooting for more controlled shooting and/or to save space on the CF card. And it can capture up to 30 JPEG and 11 RAW (or 9 RAW + JPEG) files in one burst. Whether it's the 0.15-second startup time, the high-speed mirror drive, the nearly instant 65-millisecond shutter release lag time or the predictive AF focusing at speeds up to 5.0 frames per second, the EOS 30D will amaze and delight photographers who don't want to wait for their camera when they're ready to shoot.
Large 2.5 inch LCD monitor that can be viewed at extreme angles up to 170-degrees
A new level of clarity for review - 2.5 inch LCD - The EOS 30D has a brilliant 2.5 inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. Adopted from Canon's professional EOS SLRs, this monitor not only displays more information, it can also be viewed at a greater angle (170?) than many conventional LCD monitors. The full-featured shot information screen not only provides an RGB histogram, it can display the AF frame used. Magnification has never been faster. Magnification zooms to the focus point rather than the center of the image to check exposure and critical focus. It is also simple to jump quickly in image intervals up to 100. Menus are accessed at the touch of a button and feature larger text that is easier to read. Whether changing color parameters, setting up custom functions, organizing folders or setting white balance, the EOS 30D helps photographers get to their information quickly, so they never miss a shot.
New and improved features: Picture Style for superior command of in-camera color, contrast and sharpness, spot metering and shutter durability of approximately 100,000 cycles
Professional-level features make customization a breeze - New and improved features: Picture Style for superior command of in-camera color, contrast and sharpness, spot metering and shutter durability of approximately 100,000 cycles
Picture Style settings - The EOS 30D incorporates Canon's Picture Style settings, which simulate the characteristics of different film styles, allowing photographers to customize their shooting to their personal taste or needs. These include Standard, for punchy, print-from-the-camera color, Portrait, for softer, more natural skin tones, Landscape, for vivid blues and greens and overall sharpness, and Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, which can be customized to emulate color filters with black and white film.
Strong and durable - The EOS 30D has a solid, substantial feel that complements its compact dimensions. The camera body is constructed of magnesium-alloy, known for its lightweight and ultra-rigid strength. It has an improved high-speed and durable shutter unit, designed to perform flawlessly and reaching a top shutter speed of 1/8000 second with a remarkable 100,000-cycle shutter life.
Metering precision - At the request of many users, the EOS 30D adds a spot metering function that meters roughly 3.5% of the center of the image. This new metering function, in addition to Canon's impressive evaluative, center-weighted average and partial metering modes, gives the photographer even more choices for custom-tailored shooting.
Impressive 9-point Wide-area AF with a dual precision sensor at the center - Impressive 9-point Wide-area AF with a dual precision sensor at the center
The EOS 30D has a high-precision, 9-point wide area AF system that uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually-selected using the 30D's intuitive, thumb-operated multi-controller.
One-touch direct printing and improved PictBridge features, including more custom print effects and printing with shooting information
Direct printing with PictBridge compatible printers - One-touch direct printing and improved PictBridge features, including more custom print effects and printing with shooting information
PictBridge-advanced camera direct capabilities - The EOS 30D lets you print beautiful photos with minimum time and effort - directly from the camera. It's compatible with Canon's SELPHY Compact Photo Printers, desktop PIXMA Photo Printers, and even third-party PictBridge-compatible printers.
Bundled Software
Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 12.0) , which features powerful software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the computer. These include Canon's ZoomBrowser EX for Windows (Version 5.6), ImageBrower for Macintosh OS X (Version 5.6), or Digital Photo Professional (Version 2.1), Canon's EOS Utility (Version 1.0) and PhotoStitch (Version 3.1). Each application is designed to perfect captured images, and streamline the digital workflow.
Digital Photo Professional (Version 2.1) provides easy-to-use RAW conversion tools, including high-speed RAW image processing, high-speed previewing for real-time image adjustment and support for sRGB, Adobe RGB and Wide Gamut RGB color spaces. Since it's CMS (Color Management System) compatible, Digital Photo Professional allows for easy image layout and printing in Adobe RGB in conjunction with Easy-PhotoPrint and PictBridge printers.
Canon's new EOS Utility software (ver.1.0) for Macintosh or Windows handles the connection between the camera and computer, whenever they're connected via USB. It allows remote controlled shooting from the computer, handles downloading of images from the camera to the computer, and allows seamless linking to either Canon's ZoomBrowser/ImageBrowser or Digital Photo Professional software once images have been copied to the hard drive. Furthermore, it's used to upload settings back into a USB-connected camera, from Picture Style files to the user-named file. There's also a new folder monitor - ideal to check and display images being transmitted by the optional WFT-E1A wireless transmitter.
Canon's ZoomBrowser EX for Windows and ImageBrowser for Mac OS X are the easy, user-friendly options for viewing and editing of JPEG and even RAW image files. Both allow viewing of numerous types of images including finished TIFF and BMP files. Both also have a variety of search options for finding images, allow re-naming of single images or batches of files, and offer a variety of options for printing without using a separate image-editing program.
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Zoom Lens - Standard range zoom lens with an Image Stabilizer and high zoom ratio. With the Image Stabilizer turned on, you can obtain sharp, natural-looking pictures in dim lighting without using flash or a tripod. Very handy for places where flash is prohibited. Uses ring-type USM for swift, silent autofocus and full-time manual focus. Closest focusing distance is 20 in. (50cm).
Fully compatible with all EF and EF-S Lenses and a wide range of EOS System accessories
Fully compatible with all EF and EF-S Lenses and a wide range of EOS System accessories
EF & EF-S Lenses - The EOS 30D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses, and including Canon's EF-S series lenses, manufactured specifically for Canon's APS-C sized digital sensor. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Aspherical optics and fluorite elements, for example, are featured in the universally acclaimed L Series lenses, and Canon's Image Stabilizer technology in select lenses minimizes the effect of camera shake. Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance of the EOS 30D.
Flash Photography - The EOS 30D features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system introduced with the EOS-1D Mark II. Whether using its flush-mounted integral flash (guide no. of 43 ft./13m at ISO 100), or any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output through numerous exposures.
Canon's Speedlite 430EX is perfectly suited to the EOS 30D. It includes a maximum guide no. of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100, and when mounted on the EOS 30D, automatically compensates for the camera's sensor size, enabling high output flash, with more flashes per charge. It includes an AF-assist Beam, which works in conjunction with the EOS 30D's focusing system, and automatically sends color temperature information to the camera when the flash fires, for more accurate white balance rendition with flash photography.
Additional Accessories - In addition to Canon's EF lenses and Speedlite flashes, many other accessories are designed by Canon to work perfectly with the EOS 30D. The Battery Grip BG-E2 adds a vertical shutter release, and is compatible with up to two of Canon's BP-511A Lithium-ion battery packs for increased shooting capacity, or alternatively a set of six AA-size batteries, for greater convenience when traveling. Canon's Semi Hard Case EH17-L can accommodate the EOS 30D with a small zoom lens (EF-S 18-55mm included in the EOS 30D lens kit).
Data Verification Kit DVK-E2 - Canon's Data Verification DVK-E2 is an option for the EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS 5D and EOS 30D. Like its predecessor, this kit can verify whether or not a photo is an untouched original. Valuable for law enforcement, scientific or other documentary purposes. Its use of a SM (Secure Mobile) card reader, instead of an IC card reader, makes it more compact and affordable than the previous version.
Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E1A - This accessory allows photographers to transmit images from their cameras directly to a computer over a local area network (LAN). It is compatible with the EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS 5D and EOS 30D.

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR Camera w/ Canon 28-135mm IS Lens Outfit:
My old camera was Canon A95. Making the transition to digital SLR and using manual controls. Canon interface is great. Good instruction manual. Solid camera, feels sturdy in your hands. Had this camera for a month and have had great results so far. Don't be afraid to try the manual or scene modes. Suggest getting a large compact flash memory card. The 8.2 megapixels take up more space and you'll use up a 1 gigabyte card quickly.

Faulty LCD out of the box. Only plays for 2 secs. Sent to NJ for repair.
Great step up from the Rebel though. Stronger, faster and more versatile. Liked it enough to order a second one with the Canon 28-135mm IS Lens for work.
Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR Camera w/ Canon 28-135mm IS Lens Outfit:
I have a Canon S1 IS and wanted to move into the DSLR world. The EOS 30D is the perfect camera for me and I have found it to be everything I expected and more.
Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR Camera w/ Canon 28-135mm IS Lens Outfit:
This camera when coupled with Canon "L" lenses provides for the sharpest pictures possible. I purchased the image stabilization "L" lenses up to 80-200mm with extender. The 80-200 is my favorite for most everything but group and wide photos. I added the BG-3 battery grip coupled with a hand strap which makes hand held shooting a snap. I shoot mostly raw pics and process them using Adobe Photoshop CS3 . I recommend this camera for anyone serious about photography.

I've just read a wonderful and amusing essay written by Drew Moore published in The Fortnightly Review and titled "Genealogy in America". (The original Fortnightly Review was one of the most important and influential magazines in nineteenth-century. This New Fortnightly Review in the age of technology is a fascinating discovery.)
The essay/article describes how Mr. Moore embarked on a voyage of discovery five years ago to find his ancestors on his father's side of the family. Of course, he struck "genealogical gold" during the first week and from what I can glean, the information was found on Ancestry.com.
The famous ancestor was none other than Geoffrey Chaucer. The fun begins when he starts to draw comparisons between himself and Chaucer in such an amusing way that the reader will laugh out loud (at least this reader did). Moore goes on to describe how the discovery gave him a new sense of identity and self-confidence to the point that it remapped his life.
If you're hooked on genealogy you'll certainly be able to relate to the self-deprecating tone of the writer and recognize some of the same puzzles everyone experiences, including why we do all this research in the first place and what on earth makes us want to continue.
The well crafted bottom line is a the reminder that searchable databases like Ancestry and others are "only as reliable as the research of its members". Verify, verify, verify. And, if possible, go for the DNA tests too.
Before I point to the link, I'll tell you that Drew found that he isn't related to Chaucer after all, but in my opinion his sense of self is just fine and his writing skills are more than fine. The author has his feet solidly planted in terra firma.

Thanks for this post about the article. I agree it's hilarious.
Hope to see more like this. Thanks for sharing. The writer actually hits the nail on the head for many people who find the wrong person…then have to start all over.

Your source for all things celebrity and entertainment.
Age: 53; July 03, 1962
The name Tom Cruise is shorthand for A-list celebrity–with the flashy rides (hello, personal jet), the mysterious personal belief system (hello, Scientology) and the requisite litany of famous exes (goodbye, Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes).
He's also an incredibly talented actor and consistent box-office draw.
The Golden Globe winner's underwear-and-dress-shirt antics in the 1983 film Risky Business launched Cruise to stardom. And in films as varied as Top Gun and Rain Man, the man with the mega-watt smile rarely fails to shine.
Between 2000 and 2010, nine out of 10 of Tom's films grossed more than $100 million. The muscular Mission: Impossible star has gained notoriety for doing many of his own stunts–making Cruise the most well-paid stunt man in Hollywood.
But it's some of his off-camera stunts that have gained the most media attention. Cruise famously professed his love to Katie Holmes by hopping up and down like a toddler on Oprah's couch.
The three-time Oscar nominee's apparent love-struck behavior became so bizarre that Paramount Pictures ended its 14-year relationship with the Jerry Maguire star, with studio boss Sumner Redstone declaring his actions and views had become "creative suicide."
The split was not the first the War of the Worlds star has weathered. After a failed marriage to actress Mimi Rogers, who is credited with introducing Tom to Scientology in 1989, Cruise married his Days of Thunder costar Nicole Kidman in 1990. The couple adopted two children, Isabella and Connor. Tom filed for divorce from Nicole in 2001.
After a brief romance with Penelope Cruz, Tom and Katie Holmes started dating in 2005 and TomKat was born.
The Eyes Wide Shut star taught his new girlfriend all about Scientology and even had mentors accompany her to help immerse her in the religion. In 2006, their daughter, Suri Cruise was born and the couple tied the knot later that year.
Amid speculation that Tom was too controlling over Holmes and that he was forcing her and their daughter into Scientology, Katie filed for divorce in 2012.
Cruise continues his role as a bona fide movie star, and his Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol making nearly $700 million worldwide.

Autumn Reeser, the "Entourage" agent babe Lizzy Grant, has been a go to girl for TV and direct to DVD movies. Having shown up in The Lost Boys: The Tribe and Smokin Aces 2 : Assassin's Ball, she has added a much needed sexy kick to what would be standard cash-milking sequels. Your girlfriend probably recognizes Autumn from "The O.C." and secretly hates her.
A word from Autumn: "I liked being a player in high school but I definitely was not a bitch."
Girls as hot as Autumn deserve the right to chip away at our self-esteem. In fact, it's an honor.

Schabowski in 1982 (age 53)
|Personal details
4 January 1929
Anklam, Pomerania
Günter Schabowski (born 4 January 1929) is a former official of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED), the ruling party during most of the existence of the German Democratic Republic. Schabowski gained worldwide fame in November 1989 when he improvised a slightly mistaken answer to a press conference question, raising popular expectations so rapidly that massive crowds gathered the same night at the Berlin Wall, forcing its opening after 28 years; soon after, the entire inner German border was opened.
Schabowski was born in Anklam, Pomerania (now part of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). He studied journalism at the Karl Marx University, Leipzig, after which he became editor of the trade union magazine, Tribüne. In 1952, he became a member of the SED. In 1978, he became the chief editor of the newspaper Neues Deutschland ("New Germany"), which as the official organ of the SED was considered to be the leading newspaper in the GDR. In 1981 he became a member of the SED Central Committee. In 1985, he became the First Secretary of the East Berlin chapter of the SED and a member of the SED Politbüro.
Tearing down the Berlin Wall[edit]
In October 1989, Schabowski, along with several other members of the Politburo, turned on longtime SED leader Erich Honecker and forced him to step down in favor of Egon Krenz. As part of the effort to change the regime's image, Schabowski was named the regime's unofficial spokesman, and he held several daily press conferences to announce changes.[1]
On 9 November 1989, shortly before that day's press conference, Schabowski was handed a note that said East Germans would be allowed to cross the border with proper permission but given no further instructions on how to handle the information. These regulations had only been completed a few hours earlier and were to take effect the following afternoon, so as to allow time to inform the border guards. However, nobody had informed Schabowski of this.
Schabowski read the note aloud at the end of the press conference. One of the reporters asked when the regulations would come into effect. After a few seconds' pause, Schabowski assumed it would be the same day based on the wording of the note and replied: "As far as I know--effective immediately, without delay (German: sofort, unverzüglich)." After further questions from journalists, he confirmed that the regulations included the border crossings into West Berlin, which he had not mentioned until then. Accounts differ on who asked that question. Both Riccardo Ehrman, the Berlin correspondent of the ANSA news agency, and German tabloid reporter Peter Brinkmann, were sitting on the front row at the press conference, and claimed to have asked when the regulations would come into force.[2] However, according to author and historian Victor Sebetsyen, most of the surviving attendees agree that it was actually NBC's Tom Brokaw who asked the question. Later, Schabowski agreed to a live interview with Brokaw. Clearly flustered, he asked his assistant to reread the note. However, when Brokaw pressed him, Schabowski repeated that the regulations were to take effect "immediately."[1]
The West German public national television channels showed parts of Schabowski's press conference in their main evening news reports at 7:17 PM on ZDF's heute and at 8 PM on ARD's Tagesschau; this meant that the news was broadcast to nearly all of East Germany, where West German television was widely watched, as well. The news then spread like wildfire with news reports continuing to repeat the news throughout the night.
As the night progressed thousands of East Berliners began proceeding to the six border crossings along the Berlin Wall. They demanded to be let through. Live TV reported on the gathering people which only increased the numbers of East Berliners coming to the gates. The crowds vastly outnumbered the border guards who initially tried to stall for time. However, no one was willing to order deadly force. Finally, at 11:30 pm, Stasi officer Harald Jäger decided to open the gates at the Bornholmer Straße border crossing and allow people into West Berlin.[3]
The fall of the Berlin Wall was the beginning of the end of the East German regime. Indeed, Sebestyen later wrote that when the gates were opened, for all intents and purposes East Germany "ceased to exist." He also wrote that many of Schabowski's colleagues suspected he was either an American or West German agent, and couldn't believe that he'd made "a simple cock-up."[1]
In the following purges of the "Party old guard", Schabowski was quickly expelled from the Party of Democratic Socialism successor to the SED, in an attempt to improve the party's image. Just months earlier, he had been awarded the country's prestigious Order of Karl Marx.
Political life after reunification[edit]
After German Reunification, Schabowski became highly critical of his own actions in the GDR and those of his fellow Politburo members, as well as of Soviet-style socialism in general. As of 2011[update], he remains the only high-ranking GDR official to have denounced the GDR as fatally flawed. He worked again as a journalist and, between 1992 and 1999, as editor for Heimat-Nachrichten, a weekly local paper that he co-founded with a West German journalist in Rotenburg an der Fulda.
His campaign help for the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) prompted some of his former comrades to call him a Wryneck (German term: Wendehals; a bird that can turn its head almost 180 degrees; popular term used to mock Communists who have turned capitalist).[4]
Together with other leading figures of the GDR regime, he was charged with the murders of East Germans attempting to flee the GDR. In January 1995, the Berlin prosecutors pressed charges against him.[5] In August 1997, Schabowski was convicted along with Egon Krenz and Günther Kleiber. Because he accepted his moral guilt and denounced the GDR he was sentenced to only 3 years in prison. In December 1999 he began serving his sentence in Hakenfelde Prison in Spandau. However, in September 2000 he was pardoned by Governing Mayor Eberhard Diepgen and released in December 2000, having served only a year. He is critical of the PDS/Left Party (i.e., successor of the Socialist Unity Party); in 2001, he collaborated with Bärbel Bohley as advisor of Frank Steffel (CDU).
According to his wife, Schabowski now resides in a Berlin nursing home, having suffered a number of infarctions and strokes.[6]

If you're considering slipping the keys to a brand-new car under
the tree, you have a daunting task ahead of you.
Not only do you have to find the perfect car, it must be paid
for, titled and insured without tipping off the object of your
affection. On top of that, you somehow have to get it home late on
Christmas Eve with a big red bow mounted on the roof.
Advertising campaigns such as Lexus's "
December to Remember
" have helped drive both holiday sales and car gifting in general.
Lexus started the campaign in 1998 and has turned December from its
worst sales month into its best.
According to Oregon-based CNW Marketing Research, more than
17,000 new cars and 41,890 used vehicles were given as gifts in
Spokesperson Allison Takahashi says Lexus doesn't keep
statistics on the number of vehicles given as gifts, but one
dealer, Jack McCartney, told The Philadelphia Inquirer last
Christmas that he had 10 or 12 vehicles already paid for that were
sitting out back waiting to be picked up on Christmas Eve.
Graduations and anniversaries rank high as car-giving occasions
as well.
If you are considering taking the plunge, you will need to be
both sneaky and thorough. You can't leave a shiny new car at risk,
even in the few days between when you buy the car and when you hand
over the keys. (See "
How to insure a new car
Giving a car as a gift is easy if the car is for your spouse or
child and more complicated if you're buying for a very, very good
Buying and titling a car that you are part owner of is usually
quite simple. Since you are an owner you can sign all of the
paperwork and your spouse never has to know … until the big reveal.
Andrew Schrage of
warns that DMV rules can vary by state, that in some cases the
other person's presence may be required, so contact your
local DMV office
to verify requirements.
Insurance should be a no-brainer as well. Penny Gusner, consumer
analyst at CarInsurance.com, says if you are listed as a co-owner
on the car and are adding it to a shared policy, you can sign all
necessary documents without getting your spouse involved, keeping
your secret safe.
Things can be much more complicated if you are not a co-owner of
the vehicle. Titling a car in someone else's name without that
person's signature on some paperwork is very difficult, especially
if you are financing the car. Insurance can also be a challenge.
Insurers will be concerned that you will have no insurable interest
in the car, Gusner says, making them reluctant to write a policy.
(See "Can I add someone else's vehicle to my policy?")
But it is still possible to put a car in the driveway and be
insured. You can title and insure the car in your name, and sign
the title over as a gift a few days after the surprise. While it
varies by jurisdiction, most states charge only a nominal fee for
transferring a title if the car is being given as a gift.
The note simply said "Find a car outside with your next clue on
the front window."
Chad Manciagli had no idea what he would find when he headed
outside looking for the next clue in his mother's scavenger hunt.
As he pulled the note off of the 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X's
windshield, he was shocked to learn that he had reached the end of
the hunt and the car he was standing next to was his, courtesy of
his mother.
Dana Manciagli bought, titled and insured a car for her son
entirely over the phone. Dana was in Seattle and her son had just
graduated from the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Dana closed the deal with a Tucson car dealer over the phone and
titled the car in her name to insure the car while keeping it a
surprise. The dealer delivered the car, and Chad's roommate helped
set up the scavenger hunt. A few days later Chad visited the local
DMV and transferred the vehicle into his name.
While giving a car definitely requires some thought and
planning, most dealers are very willing to help.

Deals and dents: Fender benders numbers rise on Black Friday, according to insurance experts
CLEVELAND - Black Friday shoppers are at risk of going home with dinged and dented cars when they go to buy great bargains.
The number of car accident claims rose 25 percent on Black Friday in 2011, according to Tricia Griffith, the Claims Group President at Progressive Insurance.
Griffith said minor accidents in parking lots are to blame for most of the increase in the number of claims.
"It really is a parking lot problem in terms of way more cars than normal. People are anxious, and they're just trying to get in and get those deals," she said.
NewsChannel5's investigators obtained records from local police departments. We found four out of 13 accidents reported on private property in Mentor last Black Friday occurred in parking lots, including two at Great Lakes Mall and one at a nearby Best Buy parking lot.
"In the retail areas, in the parking lots... We do see an increase in accidents on Black Friday," said Mentor Police Sgt. Mike Majernik. "We get accidents, typically, at starting at two or three in the morning, where it's normally quiet. You'll see almost a rush hour type flow in these shopping centers," he said.
It's the same deal in Strongsville.
"It's gonna get crazy," said Strongsville Police Sgt. Lee Cosgrove. "We get a lot of traffic coming into town, particularly on Black Friday."
Cosgrove said there was a total of five accidents reported in the parking lot of SouthPark Mall on Black Friday during 2010 and 2011.
What's worse, Cosgrove said drivers often fail to leave a note when they hit another car.
"It's just un-courteous and rude. If you hit someone's car, leave a note, put your name on it, put your phone number on it," Cosgrove said.
Griffith said the types of accidents reported on Black Friday vary greatly.
"We see a couple of different claims. A lot where two people are backing out together. Some where people are in a rush and they hit parked cars. People rear-ending people... And then some were people break into cars," she said.
To avoid a Black Friday fender bender, Griffith said drivers should avoid cutting off other drivers or speeding to snag a preferred parking spot. They also take extra care when they back out of a parking spot. The most important thing, she said, is for drivers to avoid letting the stress of holiday shopping get to them.
"Be patient. Be safe," said Griffith.

The story of the 11-year-old and his brother Titus has rippled far and wide. Tobias wanted to push Titus, who has severe disabilities, in a 5k, so he wrote a letter to a local TV station looking for help. A jogging stroller was donated, Tobias' goal became reality and everyone from Kevin Durant to "The View" took notice.
But in that letter, Tobias also told of a dream to push other disabled kids in races, to give them a chance to experience what Titus did.
We shared his vision a few weeks ago in The Oklahoman, and the ripples continued.
Both adults and kids wanted to help push. Someone offered to do anything to help, saying, "Nothing is too big or too small." Someone else donated another jogging stroller.
So, Saturday morning at Oklahoma Christian University's Holiday Hustle, postponed by bad weather in December and moved to January, Tobias pushed Ta'Shawn while Titus got a ride courtesy of 12-year-old volunteers Sam Dent and Andrew Kincaid.
"What happens if we hit the speed bumps?" Sam asked with a worrisome look at the rubber mats covering cords at the starting line.
"You just go over it," Tobias said.
"It won't tip us over?"
Tobias shook his head.
"Just follow me," he said.

THE IMPACT OF EXTERNAL DEBT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NIGERIA AND SOUTH AFRICA Folorunso S. Ayadi University of Lagos Felix O. Ayadi Texas Southern University
Abstract This paper investigates the impact of the huge external debt, with its servicing requirements, on economic growth of the Nigerian and South African economies. The external debts of Nigeria and South Africa are analyzed in a new context utilizing traditional, but innovative, models and econometric techniques. The Neoclassical growth model, which incorporates external sector, debt indicators, and some macroeconomic variables, is employed in this study to explore a linear, as well as non-linear, effect of debt on growth and investment. Both ordinary least squares (OLS) and generalized least squares (GLS) are employed in the analysis. Among other test results, the negative impact of debt (and its servicing requirements) on growth is confirmed in Nigeria and South Africa. However, South Africa performs better than Nigeria in the application of external loans to promote growth. In addition, external debt contributes positively to growth up to a point after which its contribution becomes negative in Nigeria (reflecting the presence of non-linearity effects).
Introduction External debt is one of the sources of financing capital formation in any economy. Adepoju et al. (2007) note that developing countries in Africa are characterized by inadequate internal capital formation due to the vicious circle of low productivity, low income, and low savings. Therefore, this situation calls for technical, managerial, and financial support from Western countries to bridge the resource gap. On the other hand, 234
external debt acts as a major constraint to capital formation in developing nations. The burden and dynamics of external debt show that...

A common regimen for patients requiring dual-antiplatelet therapy who are at risk for gastrointestinal complications is the synchronous administration of enteric-coated (EC) aspirin, a proton pump inhibitor, and clopidogrel, although proton pump inhibitors have the potential for pharmacodynamic interaction with clopidogrel. Spaced administration of a clopidogrel and a single-tablet formulation of aspirin and immediate-release omeprazole (PA32540) was considered as an alternative that might reduce this potential pharmacodynamic interaction.

BIGFOOT BASH FINAL VERSION from Ryan Davis on Vimeo.
The very first Bigfoot Bash was held over this past weekend. A two day event that started with action at the Evergreen Speedway for the first day, followed by an overnight camp at Pacific Grand Prix to wake up for more drifting action the next day! Rob Primozich is the guy to thank for this awesome weekend. Because of him, everyone who attended had a great time! The drivers had tons of runs and Ray Stonehocker even brought out his tire machine to change tires. Ryan Davis made the drive from Oregon to attend this event, as well as our boys Justin Shreeve and Joe Ayala.
Ryan Davis is an up and coming videographer who has been making a big impact on the Northwest scene. After watching this video, I noticed that his style of video is far different from most videos that I see I simply had to ask him "What made you make your video the way you did?" This is what he told me:
I wanted to make this film a representation of the vibe and feel I got from each stage of the event. I have had so much fun at both of these tracks before: Formula D at Evergreen and the crazy tandem events at PGP. I knew that, whatever happened, it was going to interest people, so I edited accordingly. Justin Shreeve was singing the Tom Petty song on the ride back and that fell in so easily with the Evergreen section. The PGP portion was so high-energy and I knew Supernova by Loyale, an up-and-coming artist, was going to not only show the difference in pace, but also stick in peoples' heads leaving them wanting more.
Honestly, I think this video is one of Ryan's best yet! It's great to see different videographic visions of the same event. It's amazing to me how diverse these videographers' artistic perspectives can be. Great job Ryan!
::Yoshi Shindo
lovin the music trax. whats that second song that plays though!!!
Amazing video Ryan!!!! Thanks to everyone!!!
2:25 the beginning of epic glide track footage! yes, now that's more like it! Really fresh Ryan.
unnnnnnnnh son

Damn I love Day 2! The skipping/rolling footage is sickness! Great video Ryan!
great vid. i like how close they were letting the photogs to the track, even on the track.
Siiiiiick so much friggin awsome right there.
Great vid. What is the story on the early 80′s 4door corolla that looks like it wrapped itself around something? Anyone know who he is? I'm curious of his set up…. and what happened at that track.
+20 for gratuitous use of skateboard dolly
SO SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This video is the shit!
well played!
I love how the photographers are skateboarding right next to a car that's drifting "really dumb asses" Hopefully someone will get hit the next event for you guys can learn something about safety. Thumbs down
It was awesome!! I love it
awe steven, why you gotta hate? that's a really inventive way of shooting the cars, and in a way makes me feel like the action is more authenntic. we all care about safety of course, but i think their shooting angles (and the music) are what make this video for most of us.
as above man dope video, i definately like the two themes for the two different days.. very fun and easy to watch
such a bad ass video one of the years best. but needs more canada!~
wow what happened at 1:58
i love this vid!! thanks for the shots bromeo
Very fucking cool!
Nice vid just love how clear it looks.

As a member of Influenster, I occasionally get sent cool products to try and review. These goodies were from the Holiday VoxBox. I love Larabar and buy them on a regular basis. Same with the Mentos gum. I like the Coconut Scrub Softsoap, and the NYC Liquid Lip Shine, but the product that really surprised me was the imPRESS Press On Manicure! These nails go on in a matter of minutes, and actually STAY ON. For like DAYS. I had mine on for 5 days before I took them off (b/c I'm not used to having any length on my nails!). I didn't have to reapply them at all. I was amazed that a press on nail would have that kind of staying power. Especially since I was in and out of boxes, packing up Christmas, etc. I was not gentle on them! I wasn't crazy about the particular design I received, but they have lots to choose from, so the next time I need a quickie mani - for a party, wedding, whatever...I'm going to get some more of these nails!
Another great find for the kids (and me!)
I'm usually not a fan of fruit snacks, but these are awesome. They have a great soft texture, not plastic-y like some others. The kids and I really liked them. Unfortunately, I haven't found them in my local grocery stores yet. I was able to try them as a member of Pssst (a General Mills Network) where I occasionally receive information and free products from General Mills.
And while we're on the subject of food (when am I not on that subject!)
I found this at Target. My kids loved it.
Nutritional stats - no saturated fat, 3 g of fiber, 8 g of sugar
stats from our beloved Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
and this little gadget. How cool is that? Now I can make my own 'Uncrustables' (that Miss Two loves so much), but make them on whole wheat bread with low sugar jelly and natural peanut butter with no hydrogenated oils :)
I love trying new stuff! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
More giveaways coming up next week .... the winner of the Purex & Jockey giveaway was Laurie from Lulu & Daisy!

I'd like to do this trip, unfortunately nobody in my circle of friends is interested. I want to do it, but not alone. There is safety in numbers.I'm really not interested in a hiking club (got two young kids - no time), just to meet a person or group who plan to go up and go with them. Just want to find a group to go with, talk to, stratagize with, make plans and....hike the mountain.I live in Ventura County, married with children, and keep in good shape.This is something I've always wanted to do, and I see it every time I drive up the 395 and say to myself...one day.Well, that day will come in the summer of 2010, I'd just like to do it with others.If no posts, I'd appreciate any advice from the veterans on this site as to where to find such a person or group.

"don't worry too much about it. it's a long, but not difficult, hike up a good trail to the top. and you can't POSSIBLY be alone on it. you'll likely have 50 other people at the summit with you."++1Go for it!! When you start depending on the presence of others, you trip frequency will go south in a hurry.
Greg, I will be starting my JMT hike next August at the Whitney Portal, you could hike that portion with me, provided we can obtain permits in the Whitney Lottery. I am looking at early to mid August and will be putting in for multiple alternate dates on application. There is a plethora of info at Inyo National Forest website on the Whitney Lottery system. I wouldn't be worried too much about bears, unless your camping in the parking lot, but the marmots at Trailcrest and trail camp will chew through packs and tents to get to food. The trail is well maintained, but don't underestimate altitude sickness. Do some training hikes at altitude if possible to give yourself a better chance at finishing. Robert.
Sorry. I mis-read...your time is limited.
