Singular = a word meaning one object. For example: I have a football.
Plural = a word referring to more than one object. For example: I have five footballs.
We make the plural of most words by just adding 's':
hat - hats, chick - chicks, nose - noses, boy - boys, bee - bees
There is no such word as 'glasss'
If we add 's' to glass it would look funny and we would not be able to hear the difference between one glass and two glasss, so we add 'es':
One glass - two glasses
Words ending in hissing sounds like s, ss, sh, ch, tch, x, z become plural by adding 'es'.
Try saying bushs, benchs, boxs instead of bushes, benches, boxes and you will see why they are spelt with 'es'.
Task Complete these unfinished words as plurals:
Names and addre....
Polar bears and walru..
Weeds and gras....
Hens eaten by fox...
Coats and dress.....
Chapels and church..
To make the plural of words that end in 'y', check if the letter before the 'y' is a vowel or a consonant.Remember: Vowels are the letters a, e, i, o, u. Consonants are all the other letters of the alphabet.
If it is a vowel (if the word ends ay, ey, oy) then add 's':
One day - 7 days, a toy - several toys, one monkey - 3 monkeys
If it is a consonant, change the 'y' to an 'i' and add 'es':
One baby - five babies, a story - good stories, one party - lots of partiesTask Try changing the words in brackets into plurals:
(Boy) riding (pony)..............................
(Journey) abroad................................
(Supply) of (turkey)...............................
(Friend) and (enemy)..............................
(Hill) and green (valley)............................
(Baby) playing with (puppy)..........................Try making up a story using the plurals of these words.
Usually when you make a word into a plural you add 's' but words that end in 'f' are tricky. Some follow the general rule, but in others the 'f' changes to a 'v' and you add 'es'. There is no rule about which ones change and which stay the same; but try saying the word and if you can hear an 'f' in the plural you usually add an 's', for example chef = chefs. If you can hear a 'v' in the plural you usually change the 'f' to 'v' and add 'es', for example leaf = leaves. Check them in a dictionary if you are not sure.
Here is a complete list of all the words in which the 'f' changes to
'-ves'. The quickest (if not the easiest) way is to learn these '-ves' words; all the other words ending in 'f' or 'fe' will just have an 's' added to make a plural.
Words where the 'f' changes into 'v' and you add 'es':
calf - calves
life - lives
thief - thieves
elf - elves
loaf - loaves
wife - wives
half - halves
self - selves
wolf - wolves
knife - knives
sheaf - sheaves
leaf - leaves
shelf - shelves
So, if a word isn't on this list, it will end 'fs'.Task Re-write these sentences - changing the words in brackets into plurals:
I saw the white (cliff) of Dover when I came home from France.
The (thief) broke into my house but the police caught them.
The (cuff) of his shirt were dirty.
I read my son the story about Snow White and the Seven (Dwarf).
I cut the cake into two (half).
There is no rule to tell us whether to add 's' or 'es' to these words. You just have to learn them!
Some always add 's':
photo - photos, solo - solos, video - videos, studio - studios
Some always add 'es':
tomato - tomatoes, hero - heroes, potato - potatoes, echo - echoes
For a few you can add either 's' or 'es':
eskimo = eskimos or eskimoes,grotto = grottos or grottoes
One way to remember the spelling is to make up nonsense stories with words from one group:
with 'es' cargoes of potatoes and tomatoes;
with 's' photos and videos in the radio studios.
Words ending with 'oo' will always add 's':
igloo - igloos, kangaroo - kangaroos, cuckoo - cuckoos, tattoo - tattoos, bamboo - bamboos, zoo - zoosTask Try changing the words in brackets into plurals:
(Cargo) of wheat................................
Electricity from (dynamo)..........................
Lava from (volcano)..............................
Ships sunk by (torpedo)...........................
Television (studio)...............................
Japanese in (kimono).............................
To make the plurals of some words you change the complete word or add more than just 'es'. These are called irregular plurals, and there is no rule for them, you just have to learn them!
Some words change completely when they are made into a plural:
child = children, woman = women, person = people, man = men, goose = geese, foot = feet, tooth = teeth, mouse = mice
These words stay the same when they become plural:
trout = trout, deer = deer, sheep = sheep, fish = fish,
aircraft = aircraft, salmon = salmon, barracks = barracks
and especially Italian pasta dishes: macaroni, spaghetti, tagliatelli, ravioli.
Pairs of things usually stay the same:
If in doubt: check it in a dictionary!Task Complete these rules on plurals to help you remember them:
but other words like photo, piano, studio, dynamo you add ......
8. There are some words that are the same for singular or plural like ........................................
9. Some words change completely for the plural like ........
Many English words have been taken from other languages so they behave differently - the plurals are formed as they would be in the original language.
Greek and Latin nouns ending in 'a' change to 'ae' (pronounced 'ee') when they become plurals:
larva - larvae, alga - algae, formula - formulae, antenna - antennae
Greek and Latin words ending in 'is' change to 'es' (pronounced 'eez'):
analysis - analyses, crisis - crises, emphasis - emphases
Greek nouns ending in 'on' change to 'a':
criterion - criteria, phenomenon - phenomena
Latin words ending in 'ix' or 'ex' change to 'ices' (pronounced 'iss-eez'):
index - indices, appendix - appendices
Latin nouns ending in 'um' change to 'a':
datum - data, stratum - strata, stadium - stadia, bacterium - bacteria
Latin nouns ending in 'us' change to 'i':
Fungus - fungi, nucleus = nuclei, syllabus = syllabi, cactus = cacti, radius - radii
but some Latin names ending in 'us' change to 'era' or 'ora':
genus - genera, opus - opera
French nouns ending in 'eau' or 'eu' add 'x':
chateau - chateaux, milieu - milieux, gateau - gateaux
Some French nouns ending in 's' do not change (but the 's' is pronounced 'z' in the plural form): chassis, précis
Some Italian words ending in 'o' change to 'i':
virtuoso - virtuosi, graffito - graffiti, paparazzo - paparazziTask Turn these words into plurals, but watch out!

Goldman Again Selling Russell 2000 To Muppets
It seems like it was only yesterday that Goldman initiatied a long in the Russell 2000, only to prematurely close the trade a few days later. Sure enough, here it is again. So, dear muppets, you are to buy all the 'elephants' that Goldman has to sell. As for the three letter acronym: just use RUT.
Recommending a long position in Russell 2000
We are recommending long positions in Russell 2000, with an 870 target and an 800 stop. Today's first glimpse of the March US data -- the Philly Fed and Empire Manufacturing surveys along with the weekly claims numbers -- show that the US cycle continues to expand. And improvement is these surveys also suggest that last month's wobbles, most visible in the Manufacturing ISM, were just that. We are aware that waiting for more data may have made us a bit late to this trade – and that the guts of today's surveys are a touch softer. But with the market having de-rated its growth views lately, we think the recent news is good enough to want to take on exposure through the more intensive data period of the next few weeks.
Given a still intact expansion, there are a handful of assets that are not, in our estimation, fully reflecting this. Having closed out of a Russell 2000 position two weeks ago, we see this as a clearly lagging market (which unlike the SPX is not yet through February highs), and a market that is typically higher beta, leveraged to growth views and tilted a bit toward domestic rather than global exposures. We have also commented extensively on the fact that cyclical stocks have lagged defensives (our Wavefront Growth basket is an obvious example) even as the S & P 500 has continued to climb. Simply put, the implicit view of forward economic growth is less optimistic than it was just a month and a half ago, despite clear signs that things continue to improve. That said, with the clearer signs of improvement in the more domestic data set, relative to a more mixed picture out of places like China and Europe, we have opted to put our longs in an implementation that is more tilted domestically to the US. We will continue to monitor the incoming cyclical news closely.

good news, i was wondering when the perfect time to short would be. goldman is the best contrarian indicator, even better than cramer
I hate to say it but this time I have to agree with GS. Assuming continuing overall market strength my analysis suggests that the Russell 2000 index (RUT) is indeed in the best position for significant gains.
Of course, the underlying assumption of continuing market strength could be a potentially painful assumption.
You can catch a brief summary of my view on the RUT relative to other indices in yesterday's and prior index updates.
Frankly my confidence level in predicting any directional movement from here is pretty low though. These markets are hardly worthy of analysis anymore, sadly.
The $RUT is the only major indicator which hasn't broken out yet. Methinks they're trying to get the tail in the door before it gets slammed. If the $RUT fails to break above 832 (today?) then the breakouts in the DOW, NASDAQ and S&P500 all come into question. So, of course they want to pump the R2K!
Stay tuned new TV show
The MF's; The Muppett-F**kers; advised by the Wall Street ANAL-ysts LOL Schtupped Again, and again, and again.
This time they may be right. Since this is a one-way market.
That was sarcasm by the way. For those of you too slow to understand. You know who you are.
"As for the three letter acronym: just use RUT"
R U Thick?
If the Biderman Market theory is correct (corporate buybacks are the marginal source of market buying), does that not explain (partially at least) the relentless end-of-the-day ramps into VWAP closes that we have seen over the past 6-12 months?
The banks/algorithms that run the buyback programs can buy with impunity under the VWAP level, knowing that they have an "unlimited" buyer at VWAP.
The "efficiency" of buyback programs is based on their ability to buy at or just under VWAP.

alright maybe there is a bubble in Canadian housing
Toronto bungalow sells for $421,800
Uh, you need to re-read that article. It sold for 421,000 over the asking price. It went for 1.18 million.
How does this story end? I can barely remember....
Hysterical. A cool mil for a shack right?
Why the Hell not.
Personally, I'm anxious for that bubble to pop then I'm going to run my little ass up there and buy property on the cheap.
French slum lord bitches. Sacre Bleu !
There was a post here at ZH a few months ago warning of this, if China started to collapse money would be pulled, in a hurry, and re-deployed in less volatile regions.
Thanks for the tip Mr. Blankfein.
But why not just buy it yourself?
My only caution here is that there are numerous divergences in the market right now and that may be holding some money back. The Russell underperforming in a bull market is one example. Manipulate these divergences ie. move the Russell from underperforming, to outperforming, and you give a green light to a whole new group of investors. I'm beginning to feel like the train wreck is much further along than we would like to admit.
Short IWM?!?! :)))
Bullish at least for the Jim Henson estate:
Hollywierd needs to have a Muffet fundraiser like they did for Haiti, maybe someone could start a non-profit
I never thought about it like that.... you are spot on!
About $2 billion if it's Goldman Sachs.
That's how much of the bank's market value was wiped out after one of its directors, Greg Smith, resigned from the company and penned an op-ed piece in The New York Times attacking the firm's culture and treatment of clients.
The bank's shares fell 3.3 percent in trading Wednesday as London-based Smith's article set Wall Street and the media ablaze with discussion about the behavior of big banks bailed out by taxpayers after the financial crisis. The share price decline meant Goldman lost some $2 billion in market value. Its market capitalization is currently just short of $65 billion.
sooo time to buy TZA then???...
.....someone should make a muppet of Blankfein.....Actually come to think of it he kind of already looks like a muppet...
I'm glad Goldman is on board with this. A cnbc guest made a good point this morning - as the dollar strengthens it might be a good idea to rotate out of the large cap multinationals and into the small caps.
I can't get enough of this Muppet Madness!!! hahahahaahahahahah

Leaving a partner during pregnancy...
My fiance and I have been together for 8 years. We have 2 boys, 4 and 1, and a girl due at the end of Sept. I recently discovered he had been pursuing a relationship with a 19 year old in another state and making plans to visit her. He said I am not affectionate enough anymore when I confronted him about it. I work 70 hours a week, school fulltime and barely sleep 5 hours a night when you throw family time in there. He stays home with the kids because i can make more than him and our youngest has epilepsy. I told him I did not want to be with him, but he refuses to move out and since he is on the lease I cannot force him. This is not normal of him, but I feel I can never trust him again. Should I wait until after the pregnancy to leave for good, or could his feelings be a result of us having a 3rd baby in a 5 year period and I am no longer able to provide the affection he needs? Any advise would be amazing, I am trying to to stress since im 26 weeks along.

terribly sorry for your situation :( I am assuming he hasnt actually had any physical contact with this other girl? Its so normal for men to feel this way...my husband keeps asking me if I still love him :p I call it the physical love bank-us women fill it up with hugs and kisses from our children or breast feeding infants, so at the end of the day the last thing you want is to be cuddly or physical with your partner, they on the other hand only get their needs met from us, hence the discrepancy our bank is full theirs is empty, especially when children are small. Can I suggest couple's counselling it was great for us :) I guess you need to establish if you still love each other and if its worth saving the relationship deep down so you love him enough to forgive?posted 06/29/2013 by catvar

By SARAH BRUMFIELD, Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) - A grand jury has indicted a Maryland cannibalism suspect on an attempted murder charge in a different attack at a Baltimore university dorm.
Twenty-one-year-old Alexander Kinyua was already facing assault and reckless endangerment charges in the May attack at Morgan State University. A prosecutor spokesman says the more serious charge came Thursday.
Joshua Ceasar says Kinyua hit him over the head with a baseball bat as he walked into Kinyua's campus apartment, knocking him out. He says friends told him they discovered Kinyua standing over him with a knife.
Harford County authorities say Kinyua told them he ate the heart and brain of a family friend he is charged with killing days later. Ceasar says he feared Kinyua planned the same for him.

It's easy to get into a routine of spending long hours in the office, tied in with even more hours working from home in the evenings. But is being a workaholic really helping your productivity? As Joe Robinson of Entrepreneur writes, being a workaholic is actually counterproductive to your career success.
"Most of us are 'sucessaholics,'" says Leslie Perlow, author of Sleeping With Your Smartphone. "That's what we think is necessary for our organization to succeed. If you try to do things differently, you will find it incredibly valuable. It's rallying together to recognize that if we continue to work in this way, it's undermining our productivity, our sustainability, our creativity."
Perlow conducted a study with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to see if it really is necessary to be available 24-7. Half the executives that participated in the survey said they worked more than 65 hours a week, which doesn't include the extra 20 hours they spent on their smartphones. As part of the experiment, Perlow told the participants to take one entire night off a week. What she found is that productivity as whole increased because the entire team was forced to better coordinate tasks with each other.
"It unleashes an incredibly powerful process for these teams," Perlow said. "They were planning better, prioritizing better, delivering better products to their clients. In the meantime, they had more predictability and control of their lives."
Perlow also says the introduction of the smartphone has created a sense of urgency to every email and task that is sent our way. However, no one ever really stops to think to turn off said phone or ignore it for a quiet evening at home.

At-Home/At-Work Choices Still Making Headlines
USA Today recently ran a story headlined, "Work or stay at home? It's still a quandary for moms."
"Stay-at-home moms and working mothers have hardly called a truce in the so-called Mommy Wars — the debate over which sort of parenting is better for a child: a mother at home or on the job," the article began. ". . . Recent research also reflects the ambivalence with which many mothers regard their own decisions about working or staying home, and many feel harshly judged for their choices. There is a widespread belief that today's parents are not measuring up to the standard that parents set a generation ago, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center. More than half of Americans (56%) say that mothers are doing a worse job today than mothers did 20 or 30 years ago, the study found." (October 2007)

An Emraan Hashmi film is generally a crowd-puller. However, this time Raja Natwarlal failed to lure the audience. Analysing this, film exhibitor-distributor Akshaye Rathi feels the main reason for this is the audience for a typical Emraan Hashmi film is the same as the crowd that is enthusiastic about the Ganesh festivities. Emraan is a mass star but the Ganesh festival followed by heavy rains have been the cause for the drop in collections of the film. While I am not sure if it will pick up in the coming weeks, I hope it sustains at the box-office, he says.
Confirming this, Vvikas Paul, President, Friends India Entertainment who is based in Australia and generally distributes Punjabi films in Australia and New Zealand says, Raja Natwarlal is a big flop here. It earned A$15000 (Rs.8,47,249.69) in Australia and only NZ$ 4000 (Rs.2,02,860.81) in New Zealand in its opening weekend.
Raja Natwarlal box office collections have been just Rs 24.23 crore in six days.
As per trade analyst Vinod Mirani, the law of averages catches up with Emraan Hashmi as he delivers another mediocre film. He points out that, Kissing scenes cannot salvage a bad film. Despite being a stolen idea from The Sting, a 1973 Hollywood classic, the film lacked in scripting and content. Paresh Rawal made it a bit tolerable but not enough to salvage it commercially. The film had a below average opening on Friday and dropped by about 20 per cent on Saturday which indicates total rejection. Its release with the onset of Ganesh festival was a bad idea. The Kunal Deshmukh-directed film has ended its opening weekend with Rs.14.40 crore.
Proving this, Rathi gives a break-up of its collections. Raja Natwarlal garnered Rs.4.75 crore on its opening day while the second and third day collections were Rs.3.90 crore and Rs.5.95 crore respectively. While the occupancy was a bit weak in the multiplexes, single screen theatres performed well on Friday and Saturday. At many centers, the occupancy even went to the extent of 40-50 per cent on Sunday but that did not help the collections, he says about the film that also released in 938 UFO digital theatres.
Besides this, even the other releases of the week performed poorly. Identity Card, Last Benchers and Trip To Bhangarh met with No audience no show status at most centres, states Mirani while Rathi feels, It is not worth writing about the performances of these films.
However, before going to the person,

"State Parks" all have several things in common - trees, usually narrow roads, close sites and lots of families with children. That said, we like them because they are "natural" and feel like "real camping". The smell of everyone burning wood in the fire pits, pine trees, children playing, birds singing, people laughing, it's all just so much more relaxed than at a "formal campground". The "down-side" is that you don't have TV, WiFi, and here, not even water or sewer hook-ups, but we enjoyed our stay, and you can't beat the nightly rate!(+plus park fee or annual pass). Brimley was a sweet little park, very green, along side Whitefish Bay. Very picturesque and quite. Many of the Rangers (we found) have you "pick your own site" then come back and tell them, rather than they pick for you. The park's aren't, for the most part, to full, especially during the week days, so you have quite a selection, which is a good thing, because with so many trees, it's better for you to do the choosing! - MarieB
Jun 2011 - $27.00
The campground is right on Whitefish Bay in Brimley Michigan. For a state park, the campsite sizes are any where from big to HUGE. You just have to know what sites to get. There are plenty of shade trees. With the campground right on the lake, a strong North West wind blows off the lake and the site along the lake tend to be breezy (anchor your awning). The number of restrooms for the size of the campground is inadequate. The restrooms are also old. The State of Michigan had a program a few years back where they were building new restrooms at state parks and Brimley was not one of them. Overall, it is a nice place to stay a few days as a base camp. - U.P. North

Very nice clean park with lots to do. The park is situated nicely on lake and canal. Great views from many sites. There is a Burger King right outside the park which is a nice option. On the other side of the park entrance is a go kart place. We travel with a small child so it is nice to have options when sitting around the camp fire starts to lose its appeal. We camped here last summer with three groups - tons of room on an average site for our 5th wheel, tent and two vehicles. Variety of site types, lots of green for shade and some with sun if that's what you're looking for. - asheffer

Should I mention my miscarriages when people ask if this is my first baby?
After two miscarriages, my husband and I are expecting a little girl in June. With the due date drawing near, my tummy is really starting to grow. Many people ask if this is our first baby, and we usually say 'yes,' but I feel guilty not mentioning the other two babies we've lost. Is it inappropriate or should I mention them?

I have a daughter, and if asked how may kids I have I always say 1 and a half, I have a daughter and a beauful angel in heavenposted 08/23/2013 by redlog
If you feel guilty then say you have 2 babies in heaven. Do not feel like you have to say anything if you don't want to. I have also had two miscarriages and so has one of my friends, but she has chosen to only tell her close friends and family. Whichever way you want to use, just remember if you are comfortable with what you tell people then don't change it.posted 04/30/2013 by abraswell50

U don have to go bout telling the world bout ur miscarriages..Wht happend has happened..posted 08/24/2012 by Sushoma nagaraj
hell yea you should be proud that 2 of your children were miscarige because i have 15 kids expecting 3 and i wish they all died who even cares about children they just give you a pain in the p**ssy hole at birth all my children had normal bith and my pu**sy saggs reall low and my 3 month child fits in there!posted 06/11/2012 by flacalocalikestofuck
I guess it depends on how you feel about talking about it. In my experience, Ive had friends and family with miscarriage stories and they were so sad and afraid to get pregnant again because they thought they could have the same problem. However, I think it is far more common than we know, my husband is a doctor and he says it is more likely to have a misscarriage than to get pregnant, but most of the times when you have it you didnt now and you jst get your period. I know knowing this is no confort but at least it helps knowing it is common and it doesnt mean you cant have a baby. I think that if people talked about it a little bit more we woldnt be so afraid of itand filling our head with stuff that could psycologicly could affect us during the process.posted 02/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I think it's a matter of personal preference, and who you're talking to. Personally, I don't think miscarriage is talked about enough. It's become a taboo, and I have heard so many people say that once they mentioned that they had a miscarriage, their friends felt like they could say it, too, and were relieved to have a support network, because they'd felt so alone.posted 01/20/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I would answer that it is your first baby when people ask that because you haven't had a live birth yet but I understand the mom in you thinks of those would have been babies.posted 10/18/2011 by candygrl83

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
You have a court order ordering you to transfer the Title, therefore it is not an "unauthorized transfer" nor are you in default on the loan you must transfer. A court order is going to supersede anything in your loan papers, and they will not consider this an adverse action on your part. Further most transfers of title in divorce situations are exempt from penalties, taxes, etc.
If the mortgage company give you any trouble just mail them a copy of the court order, you should be fine.
I am not sure I agree with your "expert" analysis. It is a violation of the United States Constitution for the government to interfere in the obligation of contract, specifically outside of a bankruptcy court. A divorce court may stipulate and order one party to make all payments on a joint mortgage contract but if that party does not comply with the court order the other party is still liable to the other side of the contract. I sent the court order to the mortgage holder and they just laughed and advised that I do not sign the transfer of title. This would have caused an acceleration of ALL payments and coincidently I had another mortgage with the same company and the contract stated that a default on one contract constituted a default on ALL contracts. The mortgage in question was on a rental and that would have been accelerated and subsequently foreclosed (I could not have paid it off immediately) and it would also have put the house I was living in at risk of acceleration and foreclosure.

French are demanding drug and gender tests.
French are demanding drug and gender tests.
I think she has it in her to break 6.
In search of what to search for.
Well, yeah. She's a cheetah.
Cheetahs are Awesome !
Their hips dislocate on demand to facilitate
running that fast. They are probably more
dangerous predatorily, than like a Liger............
And look what she caught...
why is it a surprise the fastest land animal is faster than a human?
Also doesn't 36mph seem extremely slow?
From Wikipedia:
"It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m (1,500 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h (68 mph) in three seconds, faster than most supercars. Recent studies confirm the cheetah's status as fastest land animal."
don't bring your Gazelle if you don't want to be chased
Food for thought: if you aren't dead by 2050, you and your entire family will be within a few years from starvation. Now that is a cruel gift to leave for your offspring. ;)
Stupid fact: Cheetahs are more relative to dogs, than cats.

Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor attended David Dhawan's son's wedding ceremony in Goa. At the reception, both of them behaved like long lost friends. In the same way Katrina Kaif is bonding well with ex-boyfriend Salman Khan in Cuba. Currently Ranbir Kapoor and katrina Kaif are back together.
A source told a leading English daily, "Everyone knows that Katrina Kaif and Ranbir are seeing each other, so there were many raised eyebrows at DP and RK's cuddly act. Kat was not present as she is in Cuba shooting for 'Ek Tha Tiger' and is unaware of these developments."
The same source added further, "Dippy saw him and walked up to him. After that they stayed glued to each other till the time he left. It was almost as if they'd never split – they looked so close!" Deepika and Ranbir tried to remain coordial after their break up. Neither Deepika Padukone nor Ranbir Kapoor washed their dirty linen in public after their break off. Both Maintained a dignified silence about the cause of their break off. Though Deepika Padukone along with Sonam Kapoor cracked some jokes about Ranbir Kapoor in Koffee With Karan. But it did not cause any permanent damage in their relationship.
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone's chitchat might be a step to remove any awkwardness between the two before shooting for Ayan Mukerji's film in Nainital.
Whereas Katrina Kaif, who is said to be back in Ranbir Kapoor's life, is bonding well with ex-beau Salman Khan in Cuba while shooting for Ek Tha Tiger. They have kept their personal differences aside and shooting in Cuba for the film.
Katrina Kaif is said to be taking care of Salman Khan and said, "His health issues are a matter of the past now and he has been perfectly fine for the last few months and is quite fit now." Though Katrina Kaif has broken up with Salman Khan it doesn't stop her from doing a film with him or being friends with him.

My Husband Loves this Ball!!!
My husband believes that this ball holds the bounce longer than the "average" ball. I tend to believe him....he is not right about much but when it comes to tennis he is ALWAYS correct.
No one will mistake your balls
The best reason to buy Babolat tennis balls by the case is that there is a 0% chance anyone else will be playing on a nearby court with them. That's probably why they're not numbered. And maybe why they start to look like the Muppets after playing with them for a short while. But who would want to hit Kermit? But I digress.....

Palin Returns!: 'We Need More Truth' About What Gov't Is Doing
The former Alaska governor is back as a Fox News contributor, and made her first appearance this morning on Fox and Friends.
It's been a memorable Monday Fox and Friends this morning, as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made her return to Fox News as a contributor. She talked to Steve, Brian, and Megyn Kelly (who's getting ever closer to the newest addition to her family) about the IRS's targeting of the Tea Party, and does not believe that the average, hard-working American "is surprised by any of this."
She also discussed the controversy surrounding NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, whose latest claim is that the British were spying on diplomats' conversations during the G20 summit in 2009.
'Cruz Control': Palin Interviews Ted Cruz on Fox and Friends
Palin said "we need more truth" to come out so that the American people know what their government is doing.
"People just want honesty from their government," said Palin.
We also saw a short clip of Eric Bolling's exclusive interview with Snowden's father. Tune in to The Five at 5p ET to see the full interview!
We're not the only ones excited about Palin's return - check out what some other Fox faces are saying:

Below the rubble
Gina Janzen was standing outside of her second-grade classroom at Briarwood Elementary School on May 20 when she saw the EF5 tornado approaching.
She ran inside and told the three teachers she was with that she was going to move her children into the bathroom. Most students already had checked out for the day, but Janzen still had 10 students and her own two children with her. The other teachers followed suit and rushed their kids to the bathroom.
Once inside, they had the children put dictionaries over their heads to protect against debris and desperately tried to keep them calm. As the roar grew louder, the group began singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and other songs. The distraction calmed the kids right up until the behemoth reached the school.
"Once it started hitting, the kids kind of freaked out a bit, and we just kept saying, 'It's going to be OK. It's going to be OK. That's the tornado. It's going to be OK. It's almost over,'" Janzen said.
"And it wasn't long after that, the walls just caved in on us and buried us."
Buried under support beams and walls, Janzen couldn't move. The smell of gas was overwhelming. Tammy Glasgow, another second-grade teacher, led many of the children away from the rubble. Once the kids were at a safe distance, Glasgow guided first responders to where Janzen and others were buried.
Searching through the rubble, rescuers unknowingly stood on some of the kids buried toward the top of the debris.
"I was screaming, 'You're standing on the kids! You're standing on the kids!'" Janzen said. "They stepped off the kids, off the debris, and they started digging down."
They dug out all the children but were unable to rescue Janzen and teacher Annette Brown because they were pinned down by the beams. After about 40 minutes, rescuers finally freed Janzen and Brown.
The first thing Janzen saw as she was being pulled out of the destruction was a sea of people trying to help.
"Everywhere you look, there were people," she said. "It was very overwhelming to see so many people helping without hesitation."
None of the children with Janzen suffered serious injuries. She and some of the other teachers only came away with concussions, which she considers a blessing. She believes the walls that covered the group may have saved their lives by shielding them from flying debris.
Briarwood, 14901 South Hudson Ave. in Oklahoma City, was one of two Moore elementary schools destroyed by the tornado. No one was killed at Briarwood, but seven children died at Plaza Towers, about 1 1/2 miles east of Briarwood.

He did have an advantage on a couple of very sandy sections of the rail trail we took for a few miles, I wiped out twice while he sailed on through. Something beefier than my 1.25" slicks would have helped!

While platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk have generated excitement as a potential source of income in developing regions, to date there remains little evidence that such opportunities have transformed livelihoods for low-income workers.

Based on our observations, we design new user interfaces that reduce the barriers to task comprehension and execution. Via a study of 49 low-income workers in urban India, we demonstrate that new design elements – including simplified user interfaces, simplified task instructions, and language localization – are absolutely necessary to enable low-income workers to participate in and earn money using Mechanical Turk.

We're pretty sure Emma Stone owes us a big thank you. Just after MTV News named her the actress we're most thankful for in 2010 , the Golden Globes went ahead and honored the 22-year-old with a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical for her role in "Easy A."
Hardly a coincidence, no? And, as it turns out, Stone is pretty sure she owes us some gratitude too. "This goes to you," she laughed when she called MTV News after the Globe announcement. "Thank you very much. You're who I'm most thankful for in 2010!"
Second place perhaps goes to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for recognizing her work in "Easy A." Stone confessed that the nomination came "completely out of nowhere" for her and the last thing she was expecting was a pre-dawn phone call with such happy news.
(Click here for photos of this year's biggest nominees!)
"I was completely asleep because it was 5:30 in the morning, and my manger called me sounding very upset, which is what you think when someone calls you at 5:30 in the morning," she said. "Then I realized it was excitement and he wasn't upset. I realized that nothing was burning down and no one was hurt and everything was wonderful."
Stone doesn't have much time to celebrate, though. She's expected to report to work as usual on the set of "Spider-Man," Sony's reboot of the venerable comic book franchise. There she'll find fellow Globe nominee (and current wearer of Peter Parker's Spidey tights) Andrew Garfield, who garnered a nod for "The Social Network."
"I could bring him a salted-caramel cupcake," she said. "But I don't know if he's eating a lot of those right now because of all the Spider-Man-ness. I could bring him maybe a bran muffin."
While Stone believes she doesn't have a shot at winning the best actress award — and had a ball jokingly dissing her competition with lines like, "Angelina Jolie? She wishes!" — she said even to be included in such illustrious competition has catapulted her breakout year from "borderline ridiculous into truly bizarre and amazing."
"I don't know what's going on," she laughed. "I think a comet's going to hit my house in 10 seconds."
Check out everything we've got on "Easy A."

High school football: London Potts leads Millwood to win over Douglass in Soul Bowl
London Potts knew he'd have the chance for big plays. The Millwood quarterback simply had to make the opportunities count.
Accounting for 182 of Millwood's 261 yards through the air, Potts — with some help from a strong defense — guided the Falcons to an 18-7 victory over Douglass Saturday in the 37th annual Soul Bowl at Moses F. Miller Stadium.
"We keyed the pass defense that Douglass has, and we knew our passing game could be a strong point today, with the way we throw the ball," Potts said. "But our defense made the big plays. That's what kept us in the game and allowed us to win it."
Copying what succeeded a week ago for Tulsa Washington, Millwood used the big pass plays to compliment an attacking defensive front that slowed the Douglass run game and kept pressure on the quarterback.
The Falcons utilized a five-man front, routinely breaking through the line to make stops in the backfield. Douglass had just 12 total yards and two first downs in the first half, while Millwood built an 18-0 lead.
"Our main focus was to stop the run," Millwood junior defensive end Quincy Dotson said. "We came out with the five-man set to stop the run and keep them from doing what they do best.
"We started feeling some momentum from the start and when we get our momentum up, we can play our best."
Millwood forced the Douglass offense into three-and-outs on its first three possessions, and the offense fed off that momentum.
Though this is his first season as a full-time starter at Millwood, Potts has enough experience to keep calm in the pocket and take advantage of holes in the defense.
His second pass of the day was a 47-yard strike to Alonso McMillan for a touchdown. He hit McMillan again for 43 yards to set up a TD run by Janari Glover on the Falcons' next possession.
Potts had 25- and 27-yard completions to McMillan on Millwood's next scoring series early in the second quarter, the last being a crucial throw on fourth-and-12 to keep the drive alive. McMillan finished with five catches for 150 yards.
"London is getting better each week," Millwood coach Tony Henry said. "He knew where he was going at the snap, made some good reads and played great."
When Sheldon Bulock scored from 2 yards moments after the fake punt, the Falcons were up 18-0 and had all the points the defense would need.
"When you hold Douglass to seven points on their field, you can't point to one guy who played well," Henry said. "All of those guys played well. To be able to keep them from scoring until there's about 2:30 left — I don't think we could play this game again and do that."
The Falcons (2-0) now turn their focus to Prime Prep Academy, a Dallas-area charter school co-coached by NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. Millwood will host Prime Prep on Friday night.
"We know they'll come ready to play, so we have to be ready to play," Potts said. "It's on our home field, so we don't plan on losing there."

The Relationship Between Nutrition and the Birth Signs
What is the relationship between food and astrology? Through the study of neurology, we know that the brain holds mastery over the bodily implements, as well as the division of its functions through which its influence is manifested.
Also clear is knowledge of the intertwining of enormous influences of the solar system upon human mentality at birth and the activity of spirit within its our own solar sphere (via the solar plexus), thus connecting astrology and nutrition. The material sun, in governing constellations, likewise influences the human brain by means of radiations necessary to express the grand functions of each human spirit.
How the Sun Exerts Its Force Upon Human Mentality
Abdrushin, bringer of the Grail Message, explained how "the radiations of the stars" situated below the Ethereal World (so-called beyond) "form the paths and channels through which all the living substance can penetrate in a more concentrated form to the human soul in order to become effective there …."
We learn through astronomy that the Earth is held fast by the gravitational forces of the Sun. There is an annual course of Earth around the Sun — from the west to the east, as well as a simultaneous east to west revolution of the constellations around the Earth's polar points. (It is from this study of planetary motion the book "Solar Mentalities and the Shaping of Character" took definite shape.)
That the radiations of the stars penetrate to the soul, these radiations, precipitating in the emotions, do in turn penetrate to the physical cloak, in order to become effective there. For, as verified by science, movement begins with the lightest species above (e.g., atmospheric water vapour) and, continuing downward, ends with the heaviest and densest (rain or snow).
5Star Mind-Body Nutrition purports that the soul has sound waves, which are in harmony with keynotes of solar rays at birth. At the time of incarnation (midway through pregnancy when the foetus begins to make its own blood), the sound waves of the soul attract and place the elements of its food thar are to form into organs and tissues. Through life, as long as these ethereal sounds are in harmony with the keynote of its archetype — the planetary sphere, the correct chemical elements we use to nourish our bodies will be properly digested and assimilated.
Naturally, if we humans follow dietary laws exactly designed for us, which animals do instinctively, and which we can easily recognize if we only wish to do so, then health and wealth, joy and happiness are assured throughout life. We would have found that chord for our mental and physical development.
But if rather than improving the harmony we debase the sound waves of the soul through our wrong eating, wrong thinking and action, the tone and colour will vary from the prototype (at birth). This discord places the chemical elements of our foods in a manner incompatible with stellar lines and forces in the body. The discords of process and function in the body is what is known as dis-ease. Discord shows itself in the body as imperfect forming of body primary fluids based on temperament: blood (sanguine), lymph (melancholic), bile (choleric), and phlegm (phlegmatic); imperfect elimination of waste; accumulation of poisons in the system; and abnormal growth.
Yet, although disease is more or less clearly associated with diet, its real significance is rarely or never wholly associated with equally distinctive character and temperament — the basis of personality, and that a reverse and its recourse to astrology is the imperative. One can determine one's quantity of characteristics of both mental and so-called physical life of those born when the Earth and other planets are in certain angles from the Sun; that is, in certain signs of the Zodiac.
In fact, the Zodiac was founded on the inundation of the River Nile which, to the Egyptian Gnostics, came ti deliver its bounty when the land was suffering from drought. Not the hocus-pocus speculation this royal art has become.
This is not to suggest that stellar laws are sufficient to make assumptions on disease processes or their reversal. Returning "bad karma" (the reaping of what you have sown from past life) do get woven into your body as psychosomatic disease, or at least the tendency to it. However, you also need to consider other implications, such as the nature of your thoughts, ground radiations, and much more, but paramount, the most favourably or unfavourably being the maturity of the soul. Still, no matter how favourable are these conditions, much, if not all, rests upon the state of the nervous system, the organ of experiencing.
For instance, acid food chemicals tend to be alkaline forming, and vice-versa. Formal force (Intellect) has to do with the abstraction of thought, which originates in the Spirit and not in the brain. A slightly alkaline state of the blood is optimum for this heightened passive activity.
This heightened passive (involuntary) activity is what happens under stressful situations, evoking reactions such as pain, rage and fright. The stimulation of the sympathetic branch of the nervous system triggers increased secretion of adrenocorticotrophic (adrenaline) hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary, followed by increased activity of the adrenal cortex. These changes constitute the pattern of response commonly known as the "fight or flight" reaction mechanism, which readies the body for a period of maximum activity. The increased oxygen consumption and expulsion of carbon dioxide (CO 2), causes the blood pH the become increasingly alkaline.
5Star Mind-Body Nutrition is a intertwining of stellar and chemical laws. A relationship that rest on hydrogen atom, the animating intelligence in the chemical process and function of blood pH and about 74% of the Sun's mass, dispensing as the "Intelligence" of formal mind, offering a closer perception and realization of stellar laws.
You need not have any or little knowledge of the radiation of the stars, the explanations are straight forward enough. It breaks down the processes of digestion and assimilation of nutrients into twelve pH groups, analogous to the twelve zodiac signs. Showing how innumerable substances are linked together like small wheels in a great machine, and yet apparently working independently and reliably in the building up and maintenance of the human body. Much like a great chain, the links of which penetrates the entire body without a break.

All of Barça's rivals in the Joan Gamper Trophy since 2010 have been from Italy. Milan, Naples and Sampdoria are the last three teams to feature in Barça's summer tournament
The Camp Nou is becoming a frequent visiting spot for Italian teams. In fact, three Italian sides have featured in the last three editions of the Joan Gamper Trophy: Milan in 2010, Naples in 2011, and Sampdoria in 2012. The Genoa side is the seventh Italian team to play in the preseason match organized by Barça.
Three consecutive Italian sides
The Azulgranas have won the last two editions of the Gamper. Against Milan, in a match that served to pay tribute to Ronaldinho, victory was had after a penalty shootout. Against Naples, in August of last year, Barça convincingly won by 5 to 0. Sampdoria will be the third Italian team to feature in the Gamper in as many years. Even since the tournament's format was changed to a single match (1997), there have never been three consecutive teams from the same country feature in preseason match.
The seven Italian teams
AC Milan (1986 and 2004), Naples and Sampdoria (1977 and this summer) are three of the seven Italian sides that have played in the Joan Gamper Trophy. The other four are Inter Milan (2007 and 1996), Juventus (2005), Parma (2001) and Brescia (1994). Of these teams, only the 'Vecchia Signora' beat Barça to win the Gamper. Coincidentally, that was the night that the Camp Nou was introduced to a very young Leo Messi.

Envelope, please: Oscar leaders deemed nap-worthy
NEW YORK Nancy Zwiers was genuinely psyched to see "Lincoln," but something happened between the ticket purchase and the credits. Off screen, that is.
"Yes, I fell asleep," confessed the 54-year-old marketing executive in Long Beach, Calif. "I only have two clear memories of the movie: a bunch of old white guys sitting around talking and Sally Field in a perpetual state of angst."
That was shortly after its release in October. Fast forward to January and a dozen Academy Award nominations for the 150-minute epic and another accolade has emerged: nap worthy, with and without apologies from the snoozy to Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis.
Movie napping is almost certainly as old as cinema itself. It strikes the overtired and the well-rested, film nuts and occasional theatergoers. Some blame it on soporific popcorn. Others on the enveloping darkness and a comfy seat. The theater is too hot. The theater is too cold, too crowded, not crowded enough ...
Any which way, cinematic snoozing seems near epidemic proportions this awards season with buzz plus ZZZs for "Lincoln," the 157-minute sung "Les Miserables," the 169-minute "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and others cited as good for a snore, but not always due to extra minutes.
Forget the theory that movie watchers of a certain age are more heavily afflicted.
"I don't realize I do it and I wake up 20 minutes later and then everyone's, like, you were asleep," said Rose Liu, 31, a program manager for a Los Angeles nonprofit. "I snore and then it's embarrassing, but I really can't control it. I wake up and I'm re-energized!"
Liu has movie dozed on dates and out with friends, some of whom have nudged her awake at the request of strangers sitting nearby.
She, too, was done-in by "Lincoln." She's not a fan, but she also caught some shuteye during the two-hour "Argo," which she liked. A power napper in regular life and a moviegoer about once a month, Liu acknowledged it would make sense to avoid late screenings, but that's usually not possible.
Lay watchers aren't alone. Professional movie-watchers fall victim, too.
One entertainment writer, who asked - for obvious reasons - that his name not be used, once fell asleep at an intimate screening for the 1994 satire "Pret-a-Porter," sitting right next to the director, Robert Altman. And not just a few winks but a 45-minute power nap about 10 minutes in.
"I don't think he noticed," the writer laughed.
Count psychologist Jennifer Thomas, 43, in Greensboro, N.C., as a nap person outside of theaters and in. With four kids at home, she watches a lot on Netflix but gets out to the theater about once every three months.
Thomas decided to take in "Life of Pi" in 3D on the recommendation of friends who enjoyed the book. In a rare moment of parenthood, Thomas was alone - in the dark, in a cushy seat.
"It was somewhere with the boat and the water and the lion, and they had settled into the story, and I just had this feeling that, `I'm just going to listen to the movie for a while and I'm just going to close my eyes,'" she recalled of her 15-minute break from the largely symbolic action.
The last movie nap for Thomas before that was "Platoon," of all things. "I slept right through the last half of that movie and I was in high school," she laughed.
Who among us hasn't been there, at least once?
Collin Roberts of Manhattan has seen four of the nine films nominated for a best picture Oscar: "Argo," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Life of Pi" and "Lincoln," the latter definitely not her thing but a favor to her husband.

Eddie Murphy's Daughter Bria Wears Barely There Bikini in Hawaii (VIDEO)
This little girl is all grown-up and she's not afraid to show it! Eddie Murphy's 24-year-old daughter, Bria, has big dreams of being a Victoria Secret's model someday and judging by these latest bikini pics we'd say girlfriend's well on her way to earning her angel wings.

Bria, whose mother is Eddie's ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, also shared an under-the-covers snap reminiscent of the sexy lingerie shoot she did with younger sister Shane. In those photos from early February, the two air their lacy underthings for an iamEpic photoshoot.
No word yet on if Bria's been officially signed to a modeling agency let alone to fashion titan like Victoria Secret's, but with photos like these we're expecting the news any day now!
Check out Bria's sexy shots in the video above and let us know what you think in the comments below. As for dad Eddie, what do you think he makes of the grown-up pics?

INDIANAPOLIS - Junior Maureen Bamiro was tabbed Horizon League Volleyball Defensive Player of the Week after a pair of Butler home victories last week. It is the first career honor for Bamiro.
The Kalamazoo, Mich., native won the award after posting 14 blocks in the Bulldogs' victories against IUPUI and Wright State. Bamiro had seven blocks (six assist) to go along with 16 kills in Butler's 3-0 win over IUPUI on Sept. 21. The junior then had another seven blocks (all assist) with her 13 kills in BU's 3-1 win over Wright State on Sept. 24.
For the week, she totaled 29 kills (4.14 per set) and 14 blocks (2.00 per set). She also had a hitting percentage of .447 in the two matches.
"Maureen has improved so much at reading setters, and that's really helped with her blocking," head coach Sharon Clark said. "Offensively, she's such a great weapon for us. But defensively, she's been a huge part of our success this season."
Bamiro has helped the Bulldogs to a 3-0 start in Horizon League play. Butler hosts UIC Friday, Oct. 2 at 4 p.m.

Watch the University of Oklahoma football games online and be entertained by the "Pride of Oklahoma." This is the name for the Sooner's student marching band that was formed in 1901 as a "pep" band to perform at football games. Pep bands originally did little, if any, marching and played from seating in the stands performing music to energize the fans. Thus, the name "pep." These early bands were typically populated by Norman residents and disbanded at the end of football season.
In 1904, a Sooner freshman, Lloyd Curtis founded the first continuous school band. The band expanded beyond just playing at football games and also took to playing at non-athletic events as well. Parades were a popular venue that eventually led to the concept for school's fielding "marching" bands. The Pride made history having marched in a parade celebrating the inauguration of the first governor of the State of Oklahoma in 1907, Charles N. Haskell.
It wasn't until 1929 that the school hired its first full-time band director, William R. Wehrend, He is credited with discovering a number of methods for promoting the band including hosting an annual high school band day. He organized a publicity stunt in 1934 promoting the world's longest drum roll. It lasted for 10 hours setting a new record – then. And, unlike many other bands throughout the nation, Wehrend admitted women into full band membership in 1934.
The band also grew as the football program became more successful during the 1950s. The band produced half-time shows focusing on popular songs and music themes that were current. The choreographed routines were recognized well enough to gain national television exposure during game broadcasts.
The Pride has made several trips beyond Oklahoma including representing the state marking its 100th birthday with an appearance in the 2007 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.

text: No same-sex marriage in Virginia, at least not for now. The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a stay in a legal battle that would've allowed gay and lesbian couples to begin marrying Thursday morning. Attorney General Mark Herring requested the stay. Herring says he remains in favor of same-sex marriage, but he wants to avoid potential problems. Robin Gorsline of Richmond-based People of Faith for Equality in Virginia says he's disappointed but confident about the future. Some Charlottesville area supporters of gay rights have held public events (pictured) each year.

Would 1% hike in mortgage rates stall housing?
•Kurt Wannebo, real estate broker and CEO of San Diego Real Estate and Investments: No. Stall is defined as "to bring to a standstill," which wouldn't happen. What it would do is diminish the purchasing power of a homebuyer by about $50,000. This would definitely start bringing home prices back down and slow the rapid increase in prices. The one X factor is the "psychological" effect it would have on buyers, sellers and our economy as a whole. This could be too much of a shock for our housing market to absorb at one time and really cause buyers to pull back in a knee-jerk reaction. Moderation is the key to rate hikes.
