RFC/RNAS Nieuports! The CCI Book has some lovely schemes, but the (1/72) Eduard kits don't have any RFC markings!

Hello, Rowan,
Way back in '09, you said you didn't intend to do lozenge, on the grounds that Microsculpt was filling that niche. Hovever, I see they still don't cover 1/72. Any chance you would reconsider?

How about a nationality set? Italian markings for Spads, Nieuports in 1/32. I would like Belgian markings for a Camel. The Spada decals are pants.
Polish LVG and Albatrosen? A civil set of post war fighters? That SE5 in the Science museum for example.
All 1/32 of course!
Soviet markings for the Ninak/Polikarpov R1? I think the WNW Ninak only needs new guns and no radiator shutters to convert it? US Camels? Foreign Camels full stop?
I would buy sets that were different types, as above.

I would love to see some propeller decals. It would really be nice to have some decals we could put on to mimic the two color laminate propellers of the German aircraft.

I would very much like to see a resin set for the WNW Sopwith Pup of the LA PREIUR anti-balloon ROCKETS as are exhibited on the SHUTTLEWORTH PUP. I forwarded this suggestion to WNW last year,but rec'd no response. Yours very truly, Ed Tharp( in Arizona,USA )
I have a long (very!) list of subjects planned in all three scales (where appropriate kits exist) but I'd also like to hear what others would like to see - and it neednt necessarily be main-stream as I'm keen to include some slightly esoteric subjects as well, as small volume productions. All future plans will, of course be dependant on how sales go - It's been suggested that I'm obviously deranged to be introducing a premium range of decals for a minority market in the midst of a world-wide recession - we'll see! I don't intend to be doing German "lozenge" camouflage or other coverings of that sort - my good friend Tom Sollers of Microsculpt is doing those beautifully, the best "lozenge" sheets I've ever seen!:
Eventually I aim to cover all the major combatants, including Austro-Hungarian (Eduard's Oeffag Albatri are due this year!) and Italian subjects (Macchi M5 flying boat fighters, anyone?) - even some Russians are planned for later. I will also be doing more unit-themed sheets along the lines of the SPADs.
So lets hear your suggestions!

With the latest WNW announcement, how about some colourful DFW CVs?
Posted 19 May 2011 - 12:15 AM
You're ahead of me there! I don't remember seeing a DFW CV mentioned by them, are you thinking of the Rumpler C.IV?
Would love a DFW though!
Posted 19 May 2011 - 09:57 AM
Yep - it's the Rumpler. My mistake. Still, a great subject...

While many segments of the bond market have struggled in the face of plummeting interest rates, one area that has been increasingly attractive to income investors has been high yield. Unlike 2011 which saw long-term treasuries outperform US corporate high yield by a six-to-one margin (according to figures from Barclays Capital), the global high-yield market began the current year in top form, with portions of the sector topping 8% as of late May.
With corporations de-leveraging and balance sheets improving, high-yield fundamentals appear to be sound (and include a record low default rate), while new issuance has been largely limited to extending maturities and boosting liquidity.
Though price action is typically impacted by global-macro volatility concerns (particularly with respect to the situation in Europe), the sector's aggregate yield has advanced approximately 100 basis points since the start of the year, which could help attract even more investors going forward. Accordingly, many observers remain unusually bullish toward high yield corporate bonds and their attractive risk-adjusted returns, and believe these investments will be aided by the central-banking pro-growth monetary policy of the US and EU.
Credit fundamentals remain reasonably healthy across most sectors, particularly within the US and developed areas, affirms David Leduc, chief investment officer of Standish Mellon Asset Management's active fixed income division. "We have been a bit lighter on energy given the recent fluctuation in oil prices and other concerns," says Leduc, "however on balance we've liked what we've seen." Earnings have been strong, says Leduc, and the vast majority of companies have been able to secure financing at historically favorable terms, giving them greater flexibility.
As one would expect, the top end of the yield curve has been shaped for the most part by lower-rated issues, with some CCC-rated products approaching the 10% mark. Emerging-markets high yield has garnered significant interest, while European high yield continues to lead the pack on a global basis. "Euro spreads have been consistently higher," says Leduc, "which helped the sector outperform during the first part of the year." Navigating the financial space has been tricky, though, says Leduc. "There have been a lot of fallen angels particularly around European bank sub-debt, and we've tended to steer clear as a result." Attractive opportunities in the US include various issues in the lease-finance sector; communications has had its share of good performers, and Standish Mellon has also benefited from positions in the US auto sector, particularly in light of recent upgrades.
Even those with a reduced appetite for risk have seen returns in the vicinity of 4% or higher from certain higher-rated (BB and B) issues. "Some of the smaller names in Latin America and Asia have paid upwards of 60 basis points (bps) higher than their US counterparts, simply because they may have better credit metrics including lower leverage and higher interest coverage," says Leduc. "While it might not sound like that big a deal, when you have 10-year treasury bonds yielding less than two percent, it does mean something."
The perception that the Fed will keep rates at low, combined with the positive direction of corporate balance sheets, has helped boost comfort levels, says Brian Kinney, managing director at State Street Global Advisors (SSgA). As such, investors are increasingly viewing high yield as a plausible mechanism with which to diversify away from lower-paying government bonds, or to use high yield in part as a hedge against inflation.
"Not only are clients moving into these types of asset classes in greater numbers, they are doing so in a way that they feel will provide them with the most liquidity," says Kinney. Given the illiquidity licking that many an investor suffered pre-crisis, it's not that surprising that the vehicle of choice for high-yield entry has often been exchange-traded funds. During the first quarter alone, roughly 25% to 30% of total high-yield inflows arrived via ETFs, with the majority directed toward State Street's SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF as well as iShares' iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the two funds currently account for an estimated $25bn combined).
Because high-yield ETFs tend to invest in a smaller number of larger, more liquid issuers, there is a bit of a trade-off between liquidity and broad exposure when compared to institutional fixed-income high-yield benchmarks. It's a sacrifice that many clients have been willing to make, says Kinney. "If you look at the performance of high-yield managers versus the index, on balance the returns haven't been all that different," says Kinney. "Particularly when you consider the importance of liquidity to investors nowadays, you can see why ETFs have become a legitimate choice for clients in support of high yield."
Despite the upward trend, managers have been loath to keep the pedal to the medal, given the perpetual ebbs and flows of economic developments both at home and abroad. In contrast to the buoyant first quarter that saw major fund flows into high yield, the economic realities of Q2 subsequently sucked some of the joy back out of the markets; though still north of 5% on an aggregate basis (as of June 30th), corporate high-yield indices have since retraced much of the gains tacked on earlier in the year.
"There could still be a fair amount of volatility into the foreseeable future," says Leduc, "which is important to keep in mind, particularly when using high yield in accounts that may not be totally dedicated to that asset class. Things have clearly gotten a bit softer in the US during the second quarter, which isn't all that surprising given the higher-than-average performance we saw during the previous quarter, nevertheless it does bear watching. But there are other things to look out for as well—China's growth has been slower than the markets had previously expected, and of course Europe continues to struggle with the sovereign-debt problem. So global-growth concerns do remain at the forefront, and even though it's not our view, should there be a more meaningful pullback in the US economy, that would certainly not be constructive for high yield. While we're not necessarily building those expectations into our high-yield strategy, it is something we need to be cognisant of as we move forward."
Still, experts such as Kinney prefer to look at the bigger picture. "The fundamentals story, which is about corporations' balance sheets, cash on hand, and access to the capital markets is still quite positive," says Kinney. "If you forget about the spreads and just focus on the absolute yields, you see that corporations are in better shape than they've been in years. You also have a very strong technical story in the sense that there is a lot of liquidity in the system right now—and the indirect result of the Fed putting all of this money into the system is that absolute yields in other asset classes have been driven very low. So as a relative-value proposition high yield looks very attractive, particularly in a market that is awash in liquidity and other yields are at their historical lows."
Despite some suggestions that government regulation has lead to greater inefficiency and the potential for market dislocations, the improved transparency has allowed investors to breathe a bit easier whilst on the high-yield hunt.
"Say what you want about regulation—the fact of the matter is that investors have been able to look at corporate balance sheets and have a much better understanding of what's actually behind them," says Kinney. "The ability to analyse and subsequently invest in corporations is probably better than it's ever been, and that is certainly one of the more positive aspects of the increased disclosure around what corporations are doing with their money. And the high-yield market has really been one of the key beneficiaries of that trend."

Comments about Learning Resources Double-Sided Magnetic Money:
The set is very good and I have used it a lot with my teaching of money for the children in my class. I have used it for coin and note recognition. It is also easy for the children to move around to make different amounts. The only problem is that in this particular set the $1 coin is not accurate... there is actually five kangaroos instead of the four that is on these ones, so I have had to tell the children that on the real $1 coin there is five kangaroos. I also felt that it was important to mention to the children that the Australian 50c and $1 coins are used for commemorative events as well, so the designs may change.

What is the best way to pass data from one view controller to another?
Suppose I push another view controller onto the present view controller. If I have to give some data to the view being pushed from the present view controller how do I do it?
Also how do I pass data from the pushed view to the earlier view?
So far I have done this by declaring functions in each controller and calling them. I find it dirty and want a cleaner way to do this. I don't want to use plists or sqlite as the data isn't that significant.

Chegg (@Chegg), the Student Hub, connects students to the people and tools needed to succeed in high school and college through homework help, course selection, eTextbook and textbook options as well as school and scholarship connections. The company is based in Santa Clara, California.
The challenge
As an education brand focused on college students, @Chegg has a highly seasonal business that aligns with the school year. Since students return to class in January, that month is a big one for the brand.
When the #PolarVortex hit the United States in early 2014, @Chegg saw it as an opportunity to align with a trending topic to maximize brand awareness and drive book sales.
The solution
@Chegg used Promoted Tweets with embedded images and a free shipping offer to capture the attention of students affected by winter storms.
To ensure that Promoted Tweets reached the right users, @Chegg used a combination of targeting tactics. "We basically looked at a weather map of the storms to see which states were being hit. Then we geo-targeted Tweets to those areas and used interest categories like 'college life' and 'life stage-college' to make sure we reached the relevant users," says Leviticus Williams, Social Media Specialist, Chegg.
When it came to crafting Tweet text, @Chegg knew it had to be relevant to cut through the noise. "We wanted to jump into the weather conversation and broadcast a message to students that was fun but also offered value," says Leviticus Williams.
Given the popularity of meme-style images among college students, the brand decided to dramatize the snow in a playful manner with pictures in Tweets. To drive engagement and incentivize users, @Chegg offered free shipping on book purchases.
Brr it's cold. How about free shipping on your textbooks to warm ya up? http://t.co/dcE2xciVWJ pic.twitter.com/iQGMHLJxjB— Chegg (@Chegg) January 6, 2014
@Chegg monitored Promoted Tweet performance throughout the campaign. As the storm system moved out of some states and into new ones, the brand adjusted geo-targeting accordingly. This helped maintain a consistent and relevant user experience.
"One of the best things about Twitter is that it gives us the ability to scale quickly. We have a highly seasonal business, so if we get the directive to reach a specific audience or change our campaign strategy 'right now,' Twitter is an excellent tool to make those changes on the fly."Leviticus WilliamsSocial Media Specialist, Chegg
The results
The live and conversational nature of Twitter allowed @Chegg to align with the #PolarVortex conversation to raise brand awareness and drive sales. During the campaign, @Chegg received 13,000 post-engagement purchases from Twitter users.
The brand also surpassed benchmarks with an average engagement rate of 9.17% and a peak engagement rate of 23% on Promoted Tweets. @Chegg had a low CPA of $4.
3 keys to success
- Monitor and optimize in real time.
Constantly monitor campaign performance and adjust depending on what is driving your business goals. As the winter storm moved, @Chegg swapped out states that were no longer affected by the snow, ensuring the Promoted Tweets were only served to relevant users.
- Use creativity and humor to capture attention.
Connect with consumers by humanizing your brand on Twitter. @Chegg knew that the meme-style of online images was popular with college students, so Promoted Tweets included a humorous picture that was likely to resonate with the audience.
- Incentivize users with a special offer.
Encourage users to become followers and engage with your brand through relevant promotions. @Chegg included an offer for free shipping on book in Promoted Tweets to entice students to click through.

You'll Never Walk Alone
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll Never Walk Alone,
You'll Never Walk Alone.

Christmas Dinner with HS Classmates
Some of my HS classmates planned for an evening get together at a place in Cagayan de Oro. It was a Saturday evening in December. I promised to be there though I did not expect that it would also be the time when me and my daughter will be sailing to Cebu City. And oh it was indeed the time. Luckily, the trip was at 11:30 in the evening so we arrived at the venue around 7 o'clock and stayed for almost two hours.
This is us during the exchaning of gifts. Some guys were downstairs but since they did not join the exchanging fun, so it was only us girls upstairs. That is me, lovely, lucille, joan (standing), ladelle, miriam, and ana cristina.
Prior to this photo taking, some of us were watching TV while the others were busy talking to each other downstairs with their drinks. Since I don't drink and the neighbor apartment is so noisy, I just ducked in this room to watch TV. Good thing the TV was nicely placed because of the corner tv stand designed for it. It made me realized that I could also use the same stand when the wall shelf I am planning to have will be materialized.

1 cup cauliflower (cut in florets)
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/4 cup sliced zucchini
3/4 cup water-packed artichoke hearts
12 oz. sour cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 teaspoons of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups regular or whole wheat flour
1/2 cup melted butter
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons water
For the crust. Preheat oven to 400. In a bowl gently combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Texture will resemble wet sand. Add the water a little at a time. Pat mixture on bottom and along sides of 9-inch quiche pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
In a frying skillet heat the oil and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute and then add the cauliflower and carrots, and stir until they are evenly coated. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the zucchini and cook 5 more minutes and then remove the mixture from the heat and let cool to room temp. In a large bowl combine sour cream, cornstarch and pepper. Add the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Fold in the cooked vegetables and artichoke hearts. Pour the batter into the crust and top with remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Bake for 40 minutes or until the edges of the quiche are dark and the center is slightly golden. Allow the quiche to set about 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

Hadi died last week. Hadi was a consultant. A rare good one at that. When I took charge in my office eight months ago, he came to my room one day, and discussed about few things and exclaimed, 'Sir, I have not seen any young officer with so much knowledge in this area.' I took the complement with a pinch of salt, considering it one of those regular buttering tactic to woo a new officer.
Somehow, that lean middle aged, mulla-beard consultant stood above others. My encounters with him were educational. His earthen understanding of international trade and finance was something that was rare to come by. He had dabbled in currency markets before it became fashionable. He had tried international business himself, and had partially succeeded. He told me once that he had tucked away a neat sum from him currency gambles. He understood the IS-LM model of economy, as well as the international supply chain of chor bazaars of India. He had educated himself along the way. He loved books. Probably because his desire to acquire higher education was stifled by the burden of his responsibilities. He was fond of me, for some unknown reasons, and I saw that he made it a point to budget away some time for me, for idle discussions, whenever he came to my office. I too ensured that I keep away few minutes, whenever he stepped in.
He would come unannounced to my office, without an appointment, discuss few things, give some information, and vanish. Not to be seen for some more days. Before vanishing for the last time, he told me that he would give me some books on international finance that he found good. He didn't come for few days, and I heard that he had cancer. One fine morning, I got a call from him, on my office phone, and he sounded weak.
I wanted to go and meet him. I planned, and procrastinated. I discussed it with my senior, who too wanted to go and meet him. Hadi avoided meeting people in his last days.
One afternoon, I got the news that he had passed away on the previous day. His funeral was over the same morning. The news of cancer to death took less than 3 months. The bubbly Hadi was no more. I felt miserable that I didn't see him one last time.
I still meet consultants, who want to appear as experts, but they don't hold a candle to what Hadi was. He was 49 when he died. He started his career at 19, and learnt the trade by dabbling in it. The earthiness of such acquired knowledge has its own attraction, which sophisticated degrees cannot confer. I wish I had his company longer. May his soul rest in peace.

I was commissioned to make a website using frames. After ripping my pants, hitting my head on the wall and having other dramatic moments I got the work done. Sometime in the middle of all the drama I realized I hadn't done anything with frames since late 90's. At least as far as I can remember.
Kind of retro. So hip, pop and hot. Faded colors and blur.

By Richard Wyatt
As a big fan of football, and someone who loves Latin American culture, I am naturally very excited about Brazil hosting the World Cup. I am looking forward to see if Neymar can live up to his hype, some dogged performances by Tiago Silva (possibly the best defender in the world) and seeing if Hulk/Jo/Fred will be good enough to lead the line of a World Cup winning team. I am also excited to see the Maracana stadium and the vibrant culture of Brazil on my TV every day.
However, I have some niggling doubts about whether it is right for a developing country like Brazil to host a mega event like the World Cup (not forgetting the Olympics in two years' time). Before I get accused of being a European imperialist let me say that I'm sure the World Cup will be a great event and I will love the tournament all the more for being in the global south. However, I do have doubts over whether it will be the right thing for the people of Brazil, which is a country where the richest 10% of Brazilians receive 42.7% of the nation's income, while the poorest 34% receive less than 1.2% despite the positive efforts to cut poverty by the Workers Party (the current party of power).
My first doubts started to arise during last year's Confederations Cup (eventually won by Brazil) when thousands of people took to the streets in protest, initially against a rise in bus fares, but it soon snowballed into a protest about wider issues of money wasted and corruption around the World Cup. The legendary footballer-turned-politician Romario has surprised many by becoming a leading figure of the burgeoning protest movement. Romario has been a surprisingly erudite and outspoken critic: "I'm not against the World Cup, I'm against the excessive costs … FIFA comes here, establishes a state within our state, sovereignty above our sovereignty, and leaves with two or three billion dollars in profit. And then what happens to the white elephants they built?"
Those white elephants described emphatically by Romario are of course the stadiums hosting the World Cup. Question marks over completion, safety and cost remain – there have been seven deaths at various grounds during construction, whilst Sao Paulo's and Curtiba's arenas are yet to be finished. The cost of building Brasilia's World Cup stadium has nearly tripled to $900 million in public funds, largely due to allegedly fraudulent billing, government auditors say. The spike in costs has made it the world's second-most expensive football stadium, behind Wembley, even though the city has no major professional team, leaving the stadium impossible to fill once the World Cup has finished.
The arguments in favour of holding the World Cup in Brazil are put into the public domain on a regular basis. The first and obvious one is for footballing reasons: Brazil has an outstanding footballing tradition and deserves the chance to host the World Cup. Another one is the use of "Soft Power" by the Brazilian government of showcasing the country and showing to the world how far Brazil has come whist simultaneously selling Brazil further to the world – creating business opportunities. Many argue that the World Cup will bring a direct economic boost to the country through job creation and infrastructure improvements created by the influx of tourists and public spending around the championship. Additionally some believe that the benefits of the World Cup go much deeper than simple economics, such as leaving a legacy to inspire the youth of Brazil, much like the 'Inspire a Generation' campaign of London in 2012. It can also be pointed out that the Social Movements of Brazil are able to use the World Cup to gain extra publicity to force social change which would not be possible without the world's gaze.
However, going by past experience, World Cups rarely bring the economic uplift promised by politicians. This is due to fans not spending as much money as predicted around the ground, with many independent vendors not being able to sell outside the ground unless they are an official FIFA vendor such as Coca Cola (even Pepsi are prohibited). For example, according to the journalist Simon Kuper, in the World Cup hosted by the USA in 1994 none of the cities which hosted a game saw an economic uplift compared to non-host cities. In Euro 96 the UK government predicted it would generate 250,000 visitors but it fell well short at 100,000 visitors. According to a Liverpool University study, Liverpool (a host city) generated a total of 30 jobs all of which were temporary.
After the World Cup 2002 most of Japan's stadiums now lie unused and in Poland (host of Euro 2012) they have also beenleft with unprofitable five star hotels which had to be built for officials and teams. If you wanted to regenerate an area why don't you simply spend money on regeneration projects instead of sporting mega events?
There have also been considerable problems which have been unique to Brazil. Tens of thousands of residents of Rio's favelas are being driven out to the city periphery in order to cater for the World Cup and the Olympics in 2016. Advocates of favela families have estimated a displacement of around 170,000 people (the government claims 20,000). The Brazilian government has also launched theFavela 'Pacification' programme in order to reclaim these areas from drug lords and criminals which may seem to be a laudable aim. However, in reality, this programme isdesigned to hide the violence and drive the drug gangs away from the places that will be popular during the major global events Rio is hosting. Critics have also claimed that it doesn't seek to integrate marginalised people into society and it doesn't work towards long-term solutions. In most cases pacification projects are endless military occupations that fail to protect the people.
The Brazilian government passed a new 'terrorism' Bill ahead of the tournament in June. Law 449/2013, aimed at potential terrorism, makes 'disorder' a crime. Any civilian attending a protest – regardless of whether they have committed a crime or not – could be imprisoned for peacefully demonstrating. The Brazilian police who are in charge of maintaining this order are often not trained properly in dealing with mass demonstrations and are often criticised as being unreformed from the time when Brazil was a military dictatorship.
If this was not enough the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), and in particular its President Jose Maria Marin, have been criticised for corruption. On January 25 2012, during the medal ceremony of the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he controversiallypocketed one of the winner's medals that would be handed to Corinthian's player Mateus. Marin was also a member of the party of the old military dictatorship and he has been linked to the death of the journalist Vladmir Herzog in 1975. Marin had previously made several public speeches criticising Herzog.
The most convincing argument for any country to host a World Cup is the evidence that such events lead to increased happiness within the host nation, which was put to me by Simon Kuper in his excellent book Soccernomics. Kuper claims that using the European Commission's happiness barometer shows there is a clear jump in happiness in countries which host large sporting events. However, another important finding from his research was that in general Europe is no happier now than it was fifty years ago even though income has doubled. This highlights two key factors. Firstly, that extra happiness brought by events is even more impressive. Secondly, it also highlights that there is only a link between happiness and income for those who earn less than £11,000 a year, which is very few people in the Global North showing that investing in mega events in the developed world may be tangibly worth it for the wellbeing of their populations. However, Brazil like South Africa before it, have large swathes of their population which live on way less than £11,000 a year so therefore the money spent on the World Cup would be much better spent improving people's happiness by spending more on education, health care and creating sustainable jobs.
As someone who is deeply interested in the politics and culture of the Global South, it is with a heavy heart that I say, for the benefit of the people living there, that global mega events should not be held in developing countries at the moment. This is unless they can be fully subsidised by rich nations in the North, which is probably the least these countries could do for the hardships they have inflicted on the South through slavery and imperialism. What is your opinion?

You know you're an effing boss when you get ultimate boss Jay-Z to make a cameo on your album. The title track off Rihanna's forthcoming Talk That Talk album not only features HOV, but also a hot beat courtesy of super producer Stargate. At first, "Talk That Talk" feels like a chill-out party jam. But once we get a taste of Jay-Z's smoking (and surprisingly humorous) rhymes, it becomes obvious the song was crafted for the club: "Had it by a bladder/She like, 'Oh I gotta pee'/Ran into a rocko in my restroom/Singer slash actress in my bedroom." (Seriously though, what can you do when nature calls?) Ri's vocals are up next, and per usual she proves to have some of the best pipes in the pop game right now: "One and two and a-three and four/Come on, let me know if you want some more/You know what I like/Now get it right/Boy, talk that talk to me all night."
"Where Have You Been" takes a softer approach and serves as the perfect vehicle to showcase Rihanna's powerhouse vocals. Featuring a beat by the producer responsible for most of today's No. 1 hits, Dr. Luke, Ri longs to find her perfect match: "I've been everywhere/Man, looking for someone/Someone who can please me/And love me all night long." 'Kay, I know no less than 10 million dudes who'd like to audition for that role, so let me know.
On The xx-sampled, europop flavored "Drunk On Love," Rihanna admits that she's always been obsessed with that powerful four-letter word: "I feel like I'm a hopeless romantic/I can't help falling in love/I fiend for love/I want it, I crave it/I just can't get enough." After the soft and sweet intro, the beat kicks in and once again reminds us that this album is out for club domination.
Talk That Talk is slated for release Nov. 21.
+ Listen to Rihanna featuring Jay-Z "Talk That Talk," "Where Have You Been" and "Drunk On Love."

Cutting Ties
I'm very sad to say that I haven't been able to get the time or the money to hit up another P. Roach show. I've been pretty busy lately. The guy in the video with me that Jacoby posted...yeah that's my husband...and that girl Chrystal...my so called best friend. Well I'm no longer speaking to either of them. He broke my heart and she stabbed me in the back. So I'd like to just break her face and get it over with. HAHA But I'm an adult so I'm just picking up with my life and moving on. I finally moved into a new place and my roommate is completely amazing. We spend every chance we get up on the lake singing songs and swimming the day away. Other than that things are pretty awesome. Hopefully going to hit up a Pop Evil show in a few days too. Loving the new video sneak peek of I Almost Told You That I Loved You! Looks amazing. I'm stoked to see it!
Oh Yeah...

Making the grade
Q&A | Former education secretary William Bennett says involved parents and good teachers are the answers to America's education problems
"Making the grade" Continued...
The school year is beginning with orations by educrats, but William Bennett, secretary of education in the Reagan administration and now a national radio talk show host, sees things differently. Bennett earned a Ph.D. in philosophy at The University of Texas at Austin and has written or edited 20 books, including The Book of Virtues and The Book of Man: Readings on the Path to Manhood (Thomas Nelson, 2011). Here are edited excerpts of his remarks on education before a noontime gathering at Patrick Henry College.
Do we need a Department of Education? We don't need a Department of Education. Our test scores are lower since the department has been established than before. I don't think it's primarily because of the Department of Education-watch out for post hoc ergo propter hoc-but it certainly hasn't helped.
What's the department's most popular program? When I was there we polled all the people who got our grants. The most popular program we ran was the block grant to the states. We take your money, take 10 percent out, and send it back to you. Why don't we not take it in the first place?
What about the Department of Education's grantmaking? The department has messed things up by requiring ridiculous amounts of paperwork from schools and colleges, and by creating disincentives through complicated programmatic decisions. Example: One school district has many students with learning disabilities who are way behind in math and reading, so it gets a lot more money. I say to that district's superintendent, "You've got a struggling district here, huh?" He says. "No, we're doing great. We just lie about how many students we have so we can get more money." Not the highest ethical standards, but the incentives are all in the wrong place.
No Child Left Behind is a decade old. It was essentially a deal between George W. Bush and Ted Kennedy: Bush wanted testing, Kennedy wanted money. They agreed that each could have what he wanted, but now that the tests have shown so many schools failing, we're throwing out the tests. Were Republicans and President Bush snookered? Yeah, they were snookered. I gave it mediocre support because at least it said there is no federal entitlement.
Did you like the testing component? No Child Left Behind said: If you are getting federal money we want to know how your students are doing. That's perfectly reasonable: We give you money so children can succeed and we want to know if the children are succeeding. The problem is that the standard of measurement was all wrong: We let the states pretty much pick their own devices. As a result you ended up with this Lake Wobegon business where every state has 85 percent of its students testing above the median.
A mathematical miracle. Everybody's good looking, everybody's smart, everybody's testing well until we go to the NAEP, the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Then we find out we haven't improved since 1963. We're 25th in the industrialized world.
How can American education improve? Education gets better locally. The single most important adult in a child's life is the parent. The single most important thing about the education of the child needs to be the parent, and the parent's attitude toward education: Not how much he or she knows, but attitude. The parent can be illiterate, not able to do any of the homework with the kid, but still saying, "This is important. You turn off the TV. You do your work. You listen to the teacher."
And does that teacher need to be good? The research on this is fascinating: There's a ton. It's not class size. It's certainly not facilities. It's not technology. It's the quality of the adult in front of the classroom. The research is clear: You are much better off in a bad school with a good teacher than a supposedly really good school with a bad teacher. If you take kids from the 50th percentile in the third grade, and you give them a teacher everyone regards as excellent, in two years they'll be at the 85 percentile. You give them a teacher everyone regards as not very good, in two years they'll be in the 35th percentile. What more do you need to know about evaluating teachers and rewarding excellence?
Much better to have an excellent teacher with a large class than mediocre teachers with small classes? Absolutely. Class size makes no difference. Parents like it. Kids sometimes don't like it because they can't get away with as much. Class size is loved by the teachers unions and loved by parents, but it makes no difference educationally.
If we reduce class size by hiring bad teachers, we make things worse. Eric Hanushek at Stanford has estimated that if you could remove the bottom 10 percent, in terms of quality, from the American elementary and secondary school teaching force, America would go from 25th to 10th in the world. That's the drag the bottom 10 percent puts on. Now the people in the 30th and 40th percentile aren't rocket scientists and maybe aren't even very bright, but they can get it done through the drills and the homework. We need to get rid of the people who get everything wrong in the classroom and demotivate the kids.
A decade ago we had two major conservative positions on fixing education. One emphasized mandatory testing. The second emphasized decentralizing mechanisms like tax credits and vouchers. The first didn't work. Is it time to take another shot at the second? Yes, decentralize as much as possible. Put the money or the voucher in the backpack of the student. Let the student go wherever the parent wants the child to go: private school, public school, religious school, homeschool. Full scale choice all the way.
Can we improve K-12 education funding by following the funding model for higher education? There are a lot of things wrong with American higher education, but choice isn't one of them. You can take a guaranteed student loan or Pell grant and study at a Baptist college your first year, a Catholic one your second, and Hindu and Jewish ones your third and fourth years. You'll be theologically confused, but you'll be entirely within the Constitution because, when it comes to federal student aid for higher education, we don't care where you take it.
That's not the case at the elementary and secondary levels. Where it's much more needed. As important as college is, kindergarten and grades 1-3 are more important, and much more formative.

Beauty, Richness, Value. These are words you would expect to see on any floor manufacturer's website or sales literature. However, you'll also see "close to perfect" and "unreasonably high standards of appearance and performance" on the Max Windsor website.
Max Windsor says "You cannot make a better choice for your wood flooring than Max Windsor Certified Floors." And just by looking at the simple and elegant photographs and descriptions of their products, it's pretty hard to argue with them.
The Max Windsor line of hardwood products are all certified by the FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council), and include only four basic groups of richly finished hardwood plank products (the laminate collection, called "Domain" is forthcoming). The Alexander and Concord products are hand-scraped, and come in fifteen colors, while the Maximus and Windsor lines are available in both smooth and scraped surfaces. The Domain laminates are available in smooth or distressed styles.
In the pursuit of the perfect installation, Max Windsor offers lots of information, visuals, and decorating ideas, as well as products to help the installer. Hardwood as well as laminate moldings are sold at the site. And the installer can find suitable underlayments, as well as adhesives, sealers, and cleaners for the Max Windsor products, too. Finally, there is a very informative section called "Facts About Wood" that details the processes involved with producing both the solid wood and engineered planks.
All of the Max Windsor products, however, whether solid or engineered, come pre-finished and ready to install in your home or business. The company uses 10 layers of virtually impregnable Bona UV finish to seal its wood products against spills, dirt, and harsh cleaning products.
But for the home- or business-owner who installs one of their floors, what might be most valuable are the certification and limited 25 year warranty against surface wear-out that Max Windsor offers. It's hard to offer such a comprehensive warranty without having an excellent product to back it up.
Max Windsor seems to be the kind of flooring dealer that can deliver on their promise of offering as "close to perfect" an installation as possible. Check out the Max Windsor and see for yourself.


text: GoldenBearSports.com Bears Fall In Four Sets To Utah Gehan Leads The Bears With 20 kills By Cal Athletics on Sun, October 13, 2013 Related Links Like Cal Volleyball on Facebook Follow Cal Volleyball on Twitter Cal Volleyball on Instagram Boxscore BERKELEY – Cal's women's volleyball team learned a lesson it already knew Sunday night. There is an absurdly small margin for error in the Pac-12 Conference. The Bears weren't at their best and Utah was, and it resulted in a 25-23, 17-25, 25-20, 25-16 Utes victory at Haas Pavilion. "It wasn't anything totally unexpected as ar as how good Utah is," Cal coach Rich Feller said. "Everyone in the conference is good. There are tough matches all around the conference." Sunday's was about as tough as the Bears (10-5, 3-3 Pac-12) has faced this season. Even with their win in the second set, it was arguably the most difficult of Cal's five losses. The Bears hit a season-low .192 as a team and were blocked 13 times by the Utes (14-4, 3-3). "They just frustrated us," senior outside hitter Adrienne Gehan said. The Utes entered the weekend ranked 13th in the nation with 2.83 blocks per set and immediately put their blocking prowess on display to begin the match. Utah blocked two balls and raced out to an 8-1 lead in the first set. The Bears were able to come back to lead 21-18, but the Utes fought back and closed out the set on back-to-back blocks. The Bears were able to get their offense in gear in the second set, hitting .423 and easily evening up the match. But the third and fourth sets were more like the first, as Cal's hitters struggled to put balls down cleanly and Utah ran an efficient offense. "They are one of the best blocking teams out there, and we made them good blockers," Feller said. "We hit balls that gave them a lot of opportunities to block. I think that took a little wind out of our sails and made us questions things, and we started hitting errors. I thought our passing was pretty good. We just didn't seem to be able to run our offense the way we wanted to. It was never really a comfortable feeling." Gehan led the Bears with 20 kills while junior opposite hitter Christina Higgins added 13 kills and two blocks. The Utes had four players in double figures in kills and hit .264 for the match. "Utah is a solid, solid team," Feller said. "I hope they go on and win every other match they play until they play us again so they prove to everyone else that we aren't quite as bad and they are really as good as they played tonight." The Bears return to the court Wednesday night when they play at No. 6 Washington at 7:30 p.m. The match will be televised by the Pac-12 Networks.

When Brooke coach Sean Blumette looked at his schedule, he figured there were some teams that would probably beat his club. And he figured there were some teams his club would beat.
The key to a successful season, he figured, would be to flip the script on a few of those the Bruins ''shouldn't'' win.
So where does Friday night's game against University fit into all of this?
''I'd call it an opportunity game,'' Blumette said. ''We have a great opportunity against a good team in front of our home crowd.''
About that home crowd.
Also prior to the season, University coach John Kelley looked at his team's
schedule and circled this stretch - back-to-back games at Brooke and Wheeling Park -
and figured these trips to the Ohio Valley would go a long way in determining the fortunes of his club.
It's been a fairly easy go of it for the Hawks thus far. They're coming off a 63-0 victory last week and have outscored their foes 91-7 in two games this season.
Quarterback Travis Renner is 16 of 24 for 234 yards and two touchdowns, plus an additional 77 yards on 22 carries. Running back Tyler Piktel has 132 yards on 32 carries and three touchdowns, while Isaiah Utt has 64 yards on 16 carries, plus three touchdowns.
''They're a good football team,'' Blumette said. ''When you look at them on film, you don't see a weakness.''

''It was nice to get that victory,'' Blumette said.

Cardinals rule: Woodland Christian pounds Valley ChristianBy: Robbie Enos/Roseville Press Tribune Correspondent
WOODLAND — Facing a team that averaged more than 35 points per game going in, smoke became fire for Valley Christian Academy on Friday night.
Woodland Christian routed the Lions 48-0 thanks to 254 yards rushing and a stingy defense. The Lions did nothing to help themselves either, as two of their three interceptions were returned for touchdowns. A running clock was used in the fourth quarter.
Valley Christian was without head coach Todd Conroy, who was out of town. John Mowry filled in as interim head coach.
"Ball security and not having so many penalties in the first half (are the first things we're going to work on in practice)," Mowry said.
The Valley Christian nightmare began within the first five plays of the game, when Woodland Christian drew first blood on a seven-yard score by Paul Vithayaveroj. The Cardinals piled it on with a 22-point first quarter, thanks to another rushing touchdown and the first interception return by Kameron Arnold, a 40-yarder.
After taking a 42-0 lead into the third quarter, Woodland Christian primarily used backups in the second half.
The Cardinals (5-1 overall, 3-1 Sacramento Metro Athletic League) shared the glory among four rushers that gained at least 30 yards, led by Chance Stocking with 120 yards. The Lions (2-4, 2-2) were quite the opposite, gaining just 59 yards on the ground.
Asked how the team would fix its issues moving forward, Mowry said, "Two words: Hard work."
Valley Christian linebacker Caleb Van Patten put on a show with 11 solo tackles and 10 assists. Sophomore Willie Johnson, who has seen few carries this season, stepped in during the fourth quarter and rushed for 19 yards in five carries.
Valley Christian 0 0 0 0 — 0
Woodland Christian 22 20 0 6 — 48
WC – Vithayaveroj 7 run (run failed)
WC – Winn 2 run (Winn pass from Truesdell)

RUSHING — Woodland Christian, Stocking 12-120, Vithayaveroj 8-65, Winn 6-34, Arnold 5-54, Fullerton 3-minus 11, Truesdell 1-4, Naschke 1-1, Palmer 1-minus 5, Cearly 1-minus 8. Valley Christian, Hammond 13-24, Johnson 5-19, Woodside 5-minus 2, Alvarez 3-13, Mowry 2-5, Androkitis 1-0.
PASSING — Woodland Christian, Truesdell 8-14-0, 127; Fullerton 1-2-0, 19. Valley Christian, Woodside 4-15-2, 41, Gunter 0-2-1, 0.
RECEIVING — Woodland Christian, Arnold 3-69, Rodegerdts 3-43, Canevari 2-31, Stocking 1-3. Valley Christian, C. Van Patten 2-25, Mowry 1-8, Alvarez 1-8.

The road to Paul Thomas Anderson's next picture, an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's "Inherent Vice," has been interesting. All through the press run for "The Master," the filmmaker insisted it would go into production this year, and indeed, last we heard, his longtime producer JoAnn Sellar said the aim was to start shooting at the end of the April or in early May -- and it looks like everyone involved is hitting that target right on the nose.
Cigarettes & Red Vines reports that "Inherent Vice" will indeed start shooting this month, with casting already underway and we can only assume will be announced within the next few weeks (our guess: in time for the buyer's market at the Cannes Film Festival). But wait, there's even more -- while it may have been reported/assumed that Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures were going to team up with Anderson again, it's actually Warner Bros. who will be backing the movie, marking Anderson's first picture for the studio (though yes, "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia" were both done at New Line, who were eventually swallowed up by WB).
While Anderson took a bold technical gamble with "The Master," shooting on 70mm stock and working with cinematographer Mihai Malaimare Jr. for the first time, on "Inherent Vice" the director will be keeping things simple. He'll be shooting on regular 35mm stock and will reunite with Robert Elswit, who has shot all of his pictures (except "The Master," duh).
As you know Joaquin Phoenix is reteaming with Anderson after Robert Downey Jr. stepped aside/was gently reconsidered. No word yet about Charlize Theron, who was said to be a possibility for a role, though we'll probably find out soon enough. But as always there's lots of questions: while Anderson went rogue with this own trailers for "The Master" last year, will he be able to do the same thing with powers that be at Warner Bros. holding the purse strings? But if he wasn't afraid to step on the toes of Harvey Weinstein, we figure he'll do what he wants in that regard this time too -- again, we'll see.
If you're still playing catch up, the movie will follow the zany adventures of a private detective uncovering a plot to kidnap a billionaire land developer in drug-kissed 1960s Los Angeles. So yes, another gear shift from the director and perhaps most importantly -- it will be the shortest gap between films since the years that spaced out "Magnolia" and "Punch Drunk Love."

After plenty of rumors and speculation, the results are in! BioWare took to its blog yesterday to announce that they saw it fitting to leave the Mass Effect 3 universe not with one piece DLC, but two. Yes, Two!
Multiplayer DLC: Reckoning.
While previous speculation was that the newest Multiplayer would include online Co-Op missions, this doesn't seem to be the case. However, we do get our share of new playable MP characters and weapons. Characters include the Geth Juggernaut, Female Turian Raptor, Talon Mercenary, Alliance Infiltration Unit, and Krogan Warlord. There will also be a total of 7 new weapons added to your arsenal, like the Geth Spitfire Assault Rifle, Venom Shotgun, and Lancer Assault Rifle. New equipment and mods will also be available to help tear the Reapers a new one.
Mass Effect 3: Reckoning launches for free next Tuesday February 26 on Xbox 360, PC and PS3 (February 27th on PS3 in Europe). For a sneak peek at the content, BioWare devs will be steaming via Twitch to demo the new Multiplayer content and answer viewer questions on Monday February 25th at 12:30pm EST/9:30am PST
Single Player DLC: Citadel
The story revolves around a conspiracy which targets Commander Shepard. Shepard and company must fight to uncover the truth, taking you into previously inaccessible areas of the citadel, including the Citadel Wards, and the top-secret Council Archives. One of the coolest features is that it gives you a chance to fight along side your team again, including squadmates from Mass Effect 1 & 2!
Once the mission is over, we're treated to what sounds like a new permanent hub on the Citadel. With the new areas, you can try your luck at the Silver Coast Casino, blow off some steam at the Armax Combat Arena, or just chill out in Shepard's own living quarters on the Citadel. This new DLC will also be offering unique content and cinematics, giving the fans a few more memorable moments with dear friends and rekindle romances.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel will launch March 5th on Xbox 360, PC and PS3 (March 6th on PS3 in Europe) to the tune of $14.99, 1200MS points, or 1200BW points. As an additional note, Chris Priestly went on to add:
"For Xbox 360 users, the Citadel DLC pack will come as 2 downloads on Xbox Live. ME3 Citadel is larger than our previous DLC packs, so it had to be split into 2 downloads. The first pack is priced at $14.99 and the second pack is tagged as free. Players need to purchase and download pack 1, then download pack 2 at no additional cost. You can download pack 2 without purchasing pack one, but the DLC will not work. You will get an error message in game asking you to download pack 1. It will say "This DLC will only work in conjunction with Part 1 of Mass Effect™ 3: Citadel, which is split across 2 downloadable packages. Please purchase Part 1 prior to downloading Part 2 at no additional cost. This will not hurt your saved game but you will not be able to launch Citadel until you have both packs. This only affects Xbox 360 users. Citadel for the PC and PS3 is in one pack."

The boat you see here is a 30-foot concept from designer David Borman. He has designed and developed it to be the efficient future of transport. "That Wally powerboat, which I think is $20 million for the 50 footer, it sucks down something like 2,000 gallons of fuel an hour and it only does 70mph. I'll be using less than a tenth of that amount of fuel going twice as fast."
"My tag line is: helicopter speed at a powerboat price. It's the ultimate status symbol, but it's got a practical side too. I love the Bahamas, love the Tortugas, but they're between 130 and 200 miles from here in Miami. If I were to have a conventional yacht that could only do 25mph and I've got a 3-day weekend with the kids, I might as well forget it. By the time I got there it'd be time to turn around and come back home. Scale up to a 64 footer Sea Phantom and you'd literally be able to cross the Gulf of Mexico with impunity. It would cruise at 150mph, you'd have room for several staterooms, and you could walk around in the wings. It would be fast enough to run from Key West to Cuba in 20 minutes, when Cuba opens up. It would literally take you longer to get out of the harbor at Key West and back into Havana than it would to make the actual passage."
Like a chimera between a stealth bomber and a submarine, the design is sculpted around the central body airfoil. "I was able to draw on NASA research, free over the Internet, from the '60s to integrate into my philosophy", David acknowledges. "I had to put a backbone on it to support the tail, and it just so happened that I had just seen a photograph of a children's model of the late 1920s Bugatti Atlantique, so I lifted it almost directly from there."
Borman has invested some serious time and effort in his dream project – thousands of man hours and $1.3 million in the project. But the rewards are potentially massive.
"The ultimate objective is passenger transport. For $2.5 million I'll have maritime transport capabilities similar to a $10-12 million aircraft. Not only at a fraction of the purchase price, but also at a fraction of the operating expense and I'm not encumbered by the FAA's rules. Airports are getting backed up; they've run out of expansion room. Aircraft can hardly get any bigger because the airports can't get any larger. 60% of the world's population live within 300 miles of a coastline; I could envision dozens of these just running up and down
the Florida coast alone. It could scale up to 90 feet if someone wanted to carry 100 passengers at high speed. It's a whole new world of transport."
The first customer Sea Phantoms will be 50 feet long, cost $2.5 million and be capable of cruising at 140mph with 24 people on board. By Wes Siler. Exclusive online extract from Intersection Magazine.

I have 7800 DA shifters/ brake levers, rear der. and a 105 front der. I also have a broken DA front (left) shifter that works as a brake lever only. I used in on a 1x10 setup briefly so it was nice to have matching levers. I am looking to trade for SRAM shifters, as well as front and rear. Preferably Force but Rival would be considered too. All my bikes are SRAM but this one and looking to match this one up as well.
Also, I have an almost new pair of 3T Ergonova Team carbon bars in 40cm. I am looking for the same but in a 42cm, possibly a 44cm. These came new with a Cervelo build and were too narrow after my fit. Thanks!

Alec Baldwin (look as dashing as Jack Donaghy in head-to-toe Ermenegildo Zegna) carried his fiance Hilaria Thomas up the steps to the Palais des Festival at tonight's opening ceremony. Yes, it's that time of year again. The 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival is here, and it's time to let your mind wander to coastal towns along the Mediterrean.
Anyhoo, so the turnout for the premiere of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom – starring Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, and Edward Norton – was pretty spectacular.
Eva Longoria, looking every bit the movie star she hopes to become, walked the red carpet in a dramatic Marchesa gown. Though she doesn't appear in Kingdom, Longoria (along with Freida Pinto) acted as L'Oreal's brand ambassador. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Longoria and Pinto just have to keep up appearances on the red carpet and at parties (by land or by sea) to fulfill their role as the beauty giant's representatives.
Does Diane Kruger ever get it wrong? The answer is "no." Kruger serves on the festival's jury, and tonight she wore the most fantastic Giambattista Valli Couture gown. I was a little bored with Jessica Chastain's Alexander McQueen gown, but she's so sweet that it doesn't matter. Chastain will premiere her film, Lawless at the festival. It was only last year that we took notice of her performance in The Tree of Life.
Check out the trailer for Moonrise Kingdom below.

By Cal Athletics on Wed, January 08, 2014 Related Links @CalMensGolf 2014 AMA @CalMensGolf2014 Australian Masters of the Amateurs MELBOURNE, Australia – Cal senior Brandon Hagy shot a two-under par 72 on Thursday to move up another three spots into a tie for seventh place with one round remaining at the 2014 Australian Master of the Amateurs. The 72-hole event that began Tuesday with a field of 54 players will conclude Friday on the West Course of the Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Hagy (72-73-70 – 215, -1) trails third-round co-leaders Todd Sinnott (74-69-70 – 210, -6) and Simon Viitakangas (70-70-70 – 210, -6) of Australia by five strokes each and is the third American listed on the leader board behind third-place Cameron Wilson (72-69-71 – 212, -4) and Max Buckley (72-71-71 – 214, -2), who is tied for fifth. After a wild up-and-down round Wednesday that included an eagle, three birdies and five bogeys, Hagy made par Thursday on 15 of 18 holes. He started strong with an eagle on the second hole and a birdie on the fourth, both par-fives. He then made par on each of his next nine holes before his lone bogey of the round on the par-four 14th. He finished with four more pars in a row. Hagy begins fourth and final-round action Friday with his tee time and pairings still to be announced. Hagy is playing in the event for the second consecutive season. He finished 20th in his debut in 2013. The 2014 Australian Master of the Amateurs Green Jacket Champion will receive an exemption into the 2014 Brabazion Trophy UK, 2014 Amateur Championship UK, Porter Cup USA, The Players Amateur USA, The Dogwood Invitational USA and the Canadian Men's Amateur Championship CAN. Hagy and the remainder of the Cal team will resume its 2013-14 collegiate season when the Golden Bears open the 2014 spring portion of their schedule January 27-28 at the Arizona Intercollegiate. Cal won three of five events during the fall of 2013, while posting third and fourth-place finishes in its other two tournaments to give the Bears 21 victories over their last 33 stroke-play events since the beginning of the 2011-12 season and top-five finishes in all 33.

Maybe Oscar won't tame Heath, but I have a feeling that his M&M's will.
Ledger is known for his distaste of the paparazzi, but has told journalists that his temper tantrums, which include acts such as throwing eggs at photographers, giving them the finger and generally hurling abuse would become a thing of the past.
Reporters speculate that the announcement comes as Ledger wallows in his role as a father to his and girlfriend Michelle Williams' new daughter, Matilda.
"I'm trying to get by back here and live a nice polite life with my family," he told the Melbourne Herald Sun.
"I'm learning to deal with it a bit better, I think I am," he said.
"I can admit it's a little out of line to pull the finger out and I'm trying not to do that any more. I'm trying to bite my finger these days."
Ledger said his new family meant much more to him than the Academy Award: "It's funny when you have a beautiful new child and your life takes on such a different meaning. Those sort of things don't matter so much," he said.
Ledger says he'll stop being a brat [iafrica.com]

With her comments, she said something last weeke about his skinny he was and I told her to please stop commenting on his weight, in a not very nice tone. I told her he's fine, dr isn't worried, and if she has comments to please say something when DS isn't around.
Since, DH and her have talked about how she is constantly critiquing us as parents. She says it's her opinion and we are disrespectful. Now I've brainwashed DH to act a certain way and say things to his parents. I believe his family and my family are more than welcome to share their opinion, however, I do not think it's respectful to say your opinion that you've already shared all the time, every visit, and say what we should do. What we should do isn't an opinion, it's a criticism.
Our Marchie is doing awesome! He never shuts up, he eats, although he's picky, unfortunately, and he's potty trained. He has impeccable manners, and is beyond friendly with everyone.
I am wondering, am I disrespectful? Am I rude? Am I a bad parent? Should I get involved with DH and his family's conversation about me or just sit where I am? I think his parents, DH, and I should sit down and talk, but right now they're just talking. Advice please to calm me down!
