The following actions and discussion points were addressed at the Aug. 13 Stacy City Council meeting.
County Engineer Joe Triplett stopped by the meeting to chat about road projects. Triplett reported Stacy Trail will reopen before Labor Day and that he had a chance to sit down with City Engineer Chuck Schwartz to discuss plans for Forest Boulevard.
Triplett said the ongoing traffic study will be ending this week and he will return to Stacy to share results with city officials.
The focus then turned to the turn lanes. Triplett had heard the complaints.
"Unfortunately, the turning lanes are too small," he said.
He provided a diagram showing some more permanent markers and said anything seen on the pavement at the intersection of Stacy Trail and Forest Boulevard will be torn up and replaced with a permanent surface.
"You mean this is temporary?" Councilor Charles Lucia asked.
Triplett confirmed this is indeed a temporary solution and the county and city can't proceed further until they approve a traffic control plan for the roadways. Triplett announced plans to install an LED stop sign, but not until after the results of the traffic study are in.
Triplett said he would take responsibility for "getting the word out to local property owners" of any work to be done in the right of way in regard to future plans to do some significant paving with concrete in the future.
In conjunction with county plans, City Maintenance Supervisor Tanner Jones has presented a 2014 street projects plan that will be contingent on the city's 2014 budget.
Stacy officials and NBAHA draw on Stacy Sports Complex deal
The Stacy Sports Complex has been frozen in its tracks for some time. Hoping for some kind of forward momentum, North Branch Area Hockey Association Vice President Tom Garin and Arena Project Manager Craig Moline sat down with the Stacy City Council. What ensued was the verbal equivalent of high sticking.
The parties were trying to finalize a purchase agreement at the meeting, but were unable to move forward. Garin began with questions regarding providing platting for the land that the association will be purchasing. Stacy must sell the land to the NBAHA for the association to qualify for conventional bank funding for the project.
Stacy City Attorney Peter Grundhoefer said he has responded twice to the question, and that a preliminary and a final plat can be combined to get it done more quickly. The next questions regarding payment of park fees and easements resulted in verbal sparring over costs, footage and responsibilities. An appraisal still hasn't been done, and Moline said he thought that may take up to 60 days to accomplish. The city has yet to approve rezoning, as well.
The association representatives were reminded of the need to complete an application for the subdivision of the land. Garin expressed frustration with the process, saying the association feels stuck; they are trying to get the purchase done, but the city won't sign the purchase agreement that the NBAHA needs in order to obtain its funding. Grundhoefer replied that a purchase agreement can go forward with contingencies; some of the details the city is pressing for can be worked out on the promise that these will be finalized by the time of the sale. The purchase agreement has been written. The city has to review it with the certificate of survey and once this is handed over to the city, it can be signed.
"And then we move forward with all the other stuff," Mayor Mark Utecht said.
The deal is subject to a public hearing, and Utecht said the public hearing will be put on hold pending the appraisal to assure taxpayers the city is not giving away land.
"We all got here with open eyes with the ground lease we thought was going to get this thing done. I want to get us out of this circumstance, to get it completed," Utecht said.
Grundhoefer said typically a project like this would require some security to ensure site preparation is done.
"I myself don't want to put any additional burden on them to come up with any more security; we don't have any security right now, Utecht said. "I don't want to add this hoop for them to jump through right now."
It has been years since the NBAHA and Stacy city officials broke ground for a hockey arena, but the project has stalled since that point. NBAHA officials departed the meeting with cordial assurances between the parties that there will be progress in getting the deal done and the arena construction back on track.
Stacy council moves to fill seat on temporary basis
At the beginning of the regular meeting, Utecht noted Stacy Councilor Cindy Bruss was absent. At the close of the meeting, the mayor began a discussion of the empty chair next to him. City Clerk Sharon Payne verified upon inquiry that Bruss has missed four meetings. Stacy policy states that upon three months of a member's absence, the city can declare the seat vacant. Payne clarified that while Bruss has missed four meetings, it was not within a three-month period yet.
Utecht confirmed he had tried to contact Bruss that day, but he was told she was "unavailable."
Councilor Michael Carlson said policy or law dictates a temporary council member can be appointed until a regular member can resume his or her duties. Utecht said he would like to appoint a temporary immediately. The city could ask for letters of interest and appoint an applicant at the September meeting.
Utecht made a motion that, provided it is allowed, the city will solicit letters of interest from citizens interested in filling the seat temporarily. Councilor Jim Ness asked for publication in the Post Review.
Lucia asked if the temporary appointee would finish out the term if Bruss didn't return. Payne said that depends, but there is language in state statute that speaks to this, which she will research and then use to confirm the process. Payne will also send a letter to Bruss explaining what steps the council is taking regarding her absence.

Bora Aksu Spring/Summer 2013
Turkish-born deigner Bora Aksu set up his namesake label upon graduating from his MA at Central Saint Martins. The main inspiration for his Spring/Summer 2013 collection came from Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Marie, who became the Queen of Romania in 1922. "The way she embraced traditional Romanian culture without losing her sense of Englishness led to a lot of beautiful references," Aksu said. "As well as her style and charisma, inspiration for Spring/Summer 2013 came from the love she had for her botanical garden in Balchik."
The front row saw the likes of Kelly Brook and singer, Kate Nash eager to discover what the designer had in mind for Spring/Summer 2013. The collection was awash with chiffon, lace and an air of the regal.
Models stomped down the runway with striking felt crowns atop their heads. While the wearers may have been traversing the runway with a boyish swagger the clothes were far from masculine. Bora Aksu Spring/Summer 2013 is truly a line for the girls – and the very girly ones at that. The washed out colour palette harked to water colours, as did the wispy paint stroke prints. His signature bows were sheer and tied at the back of voluminous dresses and had an air of 'Alice in Wonderland' about them. Simply and light-weight jackets caressed the shoulders of the Aksu woman, with lots of layers and ruffles adding an almost petticoat look to many of the collection's standout dresses.
Halfway through the show, presented at London Fashion Week, a golden mustard was introduced; a long necktie was set off against a pale lilac and completely sheer blouse which was tucked tightly in at the waist to a skirt of that signature mustard colour. To follow a show-stopping floor-length gown in flowing gold drapes played upon the themes of royalty and looked remarkably like the garbs of some ancient empress – or goddess.
Other than the ultra-feminine dresses, the collection was wholly wearable and sweet fabric collars came as an accessory to a number of looks. Rosy knitwear and waist cinching belts were teamed up with boxy yet elegant clutches to top of the Spring/Summer 2013 line. The floaty whimsy which was so prominent at the start of the show made way for a more demure look, with pencil skirts and shift dresses taking command.
Aksu, who plans to launch his first bag collection in conjunction with Bracher Emden with exclusive styles for Harrods this autumn, names his trademark piece as the cocktail dress, and this season we weren't disappointed by it's striking image shimmying down the runway. Bora Aksu certainly knows his girl and we're already excited to see what the coming seasons will bring.

Pond Measurements: Area, Volume and Residence Time
The importance of getting an accurate estimation of your pond surface area cannot be overestimated. The majority of pond owners visually estimate their pond area, which usually results in an overestimate of the true pond surface area. Pond area and water volume should be calculated based on some simple measurements. The effort necessary to estimate pond surface area is directly related to your pond's shape and uniformity. The simplest method—using basic equations for common shapes—can be applied if your pond closely resembles a circle, square, rectangle, or trapezoid in shape.
Pond Shapes
pond shape can be estimated by measuring the distance around the pond shoreline in feet. Square the shoreline distance and divide by 547,390 to get the pond area in acres. For example, a pond that is 450 feet around the shoreline would have an area = (450 feet)2 / 547,390 or 0.37 acres.
Rectangular or square
shape area is estimated by simply measuring the length and width of the pond sides in feet. Multiply the length times the width to get the square feet of surface area. This value can be converted to acres by dividing by 43,560 ft2/acre. So, a pond that measures 150 feet long and 100 feet wide would have an area = 150 feet X 100 feet = 15,000 ft2 or 0.34 acres.
Many ponds may be roughly rectangular in shape, but one side may be significantly shorter than the other. The area of this shape is best estimated using a formula for a trapezoid by taking the average length of the two unequal sides and multiplying by the width of the pond. For example, a pond that is 200 feet long on one side, 300 feet long on the opposite side, and 100 feet wide would have an area = 250 feet X 100 feet = 25,000 ft2 or 0.57 acres.
Irregular Shaped
Many ponds have an irregular shape where the surface area cannot be adequately estimated using the formulas for common geometric shapes. Three methods can be used in this case depending on the degree of accuracy you desire. Keep in mind that the accuracy of your pond surface area estimate may be very important, especially for the safe use of aquatic herbicides. The three methods are described in order from least to most accurate. You should strive to use the most accurate method that you can reasonably accomplish.
- Average Length and Width Method: Take numerous measurements to determine the average length and average width. Make certain you get both the longest and shortest distances in calculating the average length, and the widest and narrowest distances for determining the average width. The more measurements that you make, the more accurate your result will be. The area is then calculated by multiplying the average width times the average length. If you do your measurements in feet, your result will be in square feet. You can convert square feet into acres by dividing it by 43,560 ft2 per acre. Depending on the number of width and length measurements made, the final area will probably be within about ±20 percent of the actual pond surface area.
- Multiple Trapezoids Method: A more accurate method to determine the area of an odd-shaped pond is to divide the pond into multiple trapezoid shapes. A new trapezoid is defined anywhere the shoreline makes a rapid change in direction. Note that instead of horizontal transects, this method requires measurement of the distance between each vertical transect. This would be most easily done during winter when the pond is frozen and the transects could be easily laid out and measured. This method requires more measurement and effort, but the final area estimate will probably be within ±5 to 10 percent of the actual pond area.
- Handheld Global Positioning Systems (GPS): Handheld GPS systems have become quite common over the past five years as they have become more affordable. They are now routinely used for outdoor recreation (hunting, hiking, camping, etc.) and navigation. GPS units allow you to determine your exact location on earth using multiple satellites in space. Various locations, or "waypoints," can be stored in the GPS unit for use with mapping software that either accompanies the unit or can be purchased separately. The software can connect the waypoints and calculate the area inside the resulting shape.
- Geographical Information Websites: There are also geographical information programs on the internet, like Google Earth or Bing Maps, which use satellite imagery to display a map of your pond or lake. These website tools can make it very easy to determine the surface area of your water resource.
A pond surface area could be estimated by walking the perimeter of the pond and stopping at various waypoint locations along the pond shoreline. If waypoints are stored at each location where the pond shape changes, the resulting area will be extremely accurate, probably within 1 percent of the actual pond area. Even if you do not own a GPS system, friends or family members that enjoy outdoor recreation may own a unit that could be used to estimate your pond surface area.
Pond Depth and Volume Measurement
The volume of water in ponds is often expressed in units called "acre-feet." An acre-foot represents one surface acre that is one foot deep. To calculate the acre-feet of water in a pond, you'll need the surface area in acres as calculated above and an average depth of water in the pond. For a typical bowl-shaped pond the average depth can be estimated as 0.4 times the maximum depth. So, a pond with a maximum depth of 12 feet would have an average depth of about 4.8 feet.
A more accurate method for calculating average depth is to make many measurements and calculate an average. This is most often done by measuring the pond depth along two transects—one along the width and one along the length. Make sure to pick transects that represent the shallow and deep portions of the pond. Depths can be measured easily from a canoe or boat using a weight and a string marked in feet. The more depth measures that you make, the more accurate your final average will be. In the example shown on the next page, pond depths were taken at six locations across the pond length and five locations across the pond width. The average pond depth can be calculated as the average of all of these measurements.
The volume of water in the pond (in acre-feet) is calculated by simply multiplying the pond area (in acres) by the average pond depth in feet. Keep in mind that one acre-foot of water is equal to 325,851 gallons.
An even better way to calculate an average pond depth is to divide the pond into numerous (at least four) sub-areas (much like we did in the trapezoid method). Take at least one depth within each of the sub-areas and use these to calculate the overall average pond depth. This method is especially good if the pond bottom is irregular rather than bowl shaped.
Residence Time
Another important measurement for a pond or lake manager to know is the "residence time" of your water resource. Residence time is how long water resides in the pond, from the time it enters the pond to the time it leaves through the spillway or overflow pipe. This calculation is important for making herbicide or liming applications to the pond. If water flows too quickly through your pond, it may not be effective to make these types of applications.
We calculate residence time by using the formula: 226 times the pond volume in acre-feet divided by the overflow rate in gallons per minute. For example, if we have an acre pond with an average depth of 5 feet, and an overflow rate of 10 gallons per minute, our residence time would be: 226 (5) / (10) = 113 days. On average, the water entering this pond stays in the pond for 113 days before it reaches the overflow. In some ponds it may be too difficult to obtain an overflow rate to make this calculation.
A Final Word
Using the methods described in this fact sheet will allow you to calculate the surface area and volume of water in your pond with reasonable accuracy. These numbers are critical for the safe and proper use of various pond management activities such as using aquatic herbicides, liming, fish stocking, and using aeration devices.

NHS07: Help for Chronic Dehydration... Energized Water26.02.2013
by Life Enthusiast Staff
Dear Reader,
Water is essential to human survival. Most people think they drink enough water. To them, dehydration happens only after a night out drinking, or to travelers in the desert.
But sneaking up on so many of us may be this disaster called Chronic Dehydration.
Do you have any idea how much water you need daily - just to sustain your health (let alone how to rid yourself of excess toxins)?
Your daily water requirement is probably somewhere between 2 to 3 quarts or liters EVERYDAY! (quarts and liters are similar)
If you're a regular coffee or tea drinker, if you eat very few fresh fruits and veggies, then you'll need even more water than that! Especially if you exercise too.
Your body is made of more than 70% water and can survive 3 to 5 days without consuming any water.
As the most ingested substance worldwide, water is also a common source of both acute and chronic illness. Long-term exposure to chemical contaminants can have serious and deadly effects.
According to the Water Quality and Health Council, "drinking water systems continue to face challenges in assuring that customers receive microbiologically safe water".
Most Americans depend on their local water utility to provide a safe water supply. Testing and monitoring is not as routine as most people think.
Thirteen Symptoms of Chronic Dehydration
Adapted from "The Water Prescription", by Christopher Vasey, N.D.
This list of 13 symptoms will inspire you to go get a glass of water, and then another, and another...
1. Fatigue, Energy Loss
Dehydration of the tissues causes enzymatic activity to slow down.
2. Constipation
When chewed food enters the colon, it contains too much liquid to allow stools to form properly, and the wall of the colon reduces it. In chronic dehydration, the colon takes too much water to give to other parts of the body.
3. Digestive Disorders
In chronic dehydration, the secretion of digestive juices are less.
4. High and Low Blood Pressure
The body's blood volume is not enough to completely fill the entire set of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
5. Gastritis, Stomach Ulcers
To protect its mucous membranes from being destroyed by the acidic digestive fluid it produces, the stomach secretes a layer of mucus.
6. Respiratory Troubles
The mucous membranes of the respiratory region are slightly moist to protect the respiratory tract from substances that might be present in inhaled air.
7. Acid-Alkaline Imbalance
Dehydration activates an enzymatic slowdown producing acidification.
8. Excess Weight and Obesity
We may overeat because we crave foods rich in water. Thirst is often confused with hunger.
9. Eczema
Your body needs enough moisture to sweat 20 to 24 ounces of water, the amount necessary to dilute toxins so they do not irritate the skin.
10. Cholesterol
When dehydration causes too much liquid to be removed from inside the cells, the body tries to stop this loss by producing more cholesterol.
11. Cystitis, Urinary Infections
If toxins contained in urine are insufficiently diluted, they attack the urinary mucous membranes.
12. Rheumatism
Dehydration abnormally increases the concentration of toxins in the blood and cellular fluids, and the pains increase in proportion to the concentration of the toxins.
13. Premature Aging
The body of a newborn child is composed of 80 percent liquid, but this percentage declines to no more than 70 percent in an adult and continues to decline with age.
Water Memory
Water molecules form dynamic liquid crystals that reflect the experience the water has had. Pure (super-moisturizing) water molecules appear crystalline, like a snowflake. Polluted (even tap water) water molecules appears distorted, glob-like.
Remember these before & after photos from a previous Newsletter?
Homeopathy is based on water's ability to hold vibration.
Our bodies store emotions (positive and negative) in the soft tissue. When energy flow is blocked, it becomes stagnant, and health problems develop.
Is bottled Water the answer? We think not.
"Roughly 40 percent of bottled water begins as tap water."
~Earth Policy Institute
According to the Container Recycling Institute, 86 percent of plastic water bottles used in the United States become garbage or litter. (It takes up to 1000 years for a plastic water bottle to biodegrade.)
"Making bottles to meet the U.S. demand for bottled water requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel some 100,000 U.S. cars for a year."
~Earth Policy Institute
To your health!

The rock band is subsequently the highest earning musician in the world, topping others like AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Lady GaGa and Coldplay.
U2 has raked in a staggering $130 million over the last 12 months - making the Irish rockers the biggest selling band in the world. Despite frontman Bono being unable to perform after an operation on his back in May, U2 has still managed to secure its place as the most profitable international group.
According to Forbes.com, the foursome pulled in $130 million over the last year from their "360 Degree" world tour and sales of their 2009 album "No Line on the Horizon".
In second place was AC/DC, who garnered an impressive $114 million, while Beyonce Knowles has made $87 million. Bruce Springsteen proved he is still The Boss with $70 million, while pop sensation Britney Spears rounds out the top five biggest earners with $64 million.
Beyonce's husband Jay-Z is three behind her at six with $63 million. Lady GaGa has managed to out-earn her pop idol Madonna - the newcomer made $62 million compared to the Material Girl's earning of $58 million. Country star Kenny Chesney earned $50 million, with the Black Eyed Peas and Coldplay tying with a haul of $48 million each.

"Now, a scathing expose in Forbes by Katia Savchuk is highlighting the plight of AAU's grads. In her article, Ms. Savchuk describes the 86-year-old for-profit institution as little more than a masterful scam, which sinks prospective arts students into debt and leaves them with few job options and little career guidance. And with federal loans paying lots of the bills, the school's founders aren't too concerned about graduates' ability to pay back their hulking loans."

(As opposed to Country Knights?)
Bonus: What would you call the cheerleaders? ANSWER: The KnightinGals? That's one possibility.
Well, I suppose it's three peds, actually. Now let's see how they do:
See that?
The two peds on the left act properly and the jogger ped does not.
There's room for improvement at this intersection, SFGov/SFMTA.
Just saying.
[UPDATE: Oh, it's a coffee cup, not a red Solo cup – see Comments.]
Ouch, this one hurts.
From Jeremy C. Owens
@jowens510 – left to right, OAKLAND, Drunk San Franciscan, iPhone-Addled San Franciscan, Moneyed San Franciscan, SAN FRANCISCO:
If only this sign had Oracle Arena heading the other way…
From Hoodline:
Two Pedestrians Injured In Oak & Masonic Collision
And that comes on the heels of this, back in April:
Pedestrian Struck By Vehicle At Masonic & Oak
The way our SFMTA has this intersection set up now is that joggers only have about 7 seconds to start crossing Masonic during a 75 second signal cycle. Assuming they don't purposefully speed up or slow down to catch their green, that means they have less than a 10% chance of not encountering a red signal for crossing. Human nature being what it is, people jog across against the light and the resulting accident is the jogger's fault. Check it:
Anyway, that's why so many people are getting hit by cars at this intersection.
For whatever reason, the SFPD isn't motivated to enforce the CA Vehicle Code upon peds, so this is the result.
If you believe in ped safety, you'd be in favor of a ped enforcement action here, to learn the joggers. OTOH, if you get paid to promote ped "rights," then you'd disfavor a ped enforcement action here – you'd bend over backwards to displace blame. I mean, these peds aren't "mistakenly" jaywalking, they're doing it on purpose, right?
Choose or lose…
Here's what it looks like – an SFPD enforcement action, this latest one at Oak and Masonic. (Note modern-looking SFPD Kawasaki Concours 14P (which looks to me like a CHP BMW) juxtaposed with the ancient Harley Davidsons what make up most of the Motor Patrol.)
This action meant that every driver who commited some infraction turning left from inbound Oak onto northbound Masonic got pulled over at the Masonic Chevron.
One supposes that the new left turn arrow phase at this intersection was the instigation for the enforcement action. (Back in the day, traffic didn't back up during the Morning Drive due to the Double Left Turn that's no longer there, owing to concerns over ped safety, one supposes.)
All right, here's your money shot, here's your scene at Fell and Masonic with a brace of drivers, drivers who "know" they're special, so fucking special, you know, your Prius hybrid drivers, your Range Rover drivers, and your new funky BMW i3 (with absurdly tall, absurdly narrow Conestoga wagon wheels) electric car drivers:
That was the scene I initialy came upon and this is the same area as I left. Note the all-black Mercedes Benz, Audi and Lexus. It's not a coincidence that the drivers of all these cars got pulled over at the same time, just saying:
Of course, the SFPD will also pull you over if they notice you doing something wrong going the other way, but the funny thing was that the two cars I saw getting pulled over heading south on Masonic, against the current, heading towards the Financial, were normal ones, like VW Golfs. (I'll ask you, should you ever be proud of your car? The answer is that no you shouldn't be, because Pride Goeth Before The Painful Traffic Ticket What's Going to End Up Costing Your Four Figures. JMO.)
Moving on, to this – peds coming up to chat up the cops to cheer them on.
Now I'll tell you, I didn't see any driver run a red during the time I was at these intersection taking photos of the enforcement action, but I was paying more attention to the cops as opposed to the drivers. And I'll note that sometimes the traffic lights would cycle red green red green red green without anyone getting pulled over.
I'll leave you with this, my misfocused shot of a ped giving a black power salute to the SFPD to thank them for this latest enforcement action:

Each fishing season has its share of interesting and sometimes surprising catches.
The Margate father-son fishing crew of Barry, 67, and Evan, 30, Winokur fish for sharks out of Great Egg Inlet. On July 12, they were out in the ocean off Ocean City and caught a 4-foot hammerhead and an estimated 80-pound brown shark.
They release the sharks they catch.
"The hooks come out of every single one," Evan said.
But they also hooked up with a houndfish that weighed 2½ pounds and was 38 inches long with a girth of 6½ inches when measured at Ray Scott's Dock in Margate. Evan is the angler of record for the entry into the Most Unusual Catch division of The Press Fishing Contest.
Evan said the fish jumped clear out of the water "six or seven" times. Houndfish are the needlefish that we sometimes hear bout leaping into boats - particularly toward lights at night - and impaling anglers, mostly in southern waters.
Interesting, for sure.
Mike O'Neill, captain of the Stray Cat charter/open boat docked at Seaview Harbor Marina in Great Egg Inlet, overslept until almost 5 a.m. Friday. A heavy overcast stopped the sun from shining through to help get him moving and the rainy conditions stopped him from getting out in the boat.
So he got a welcome day off from fishing. That's part of life for captains of charter and partyboats in the summer here in South Jersey.
O'Neill said fishing is not hot sometimes, but everyone he takes out is at least catching dinner. He said he is getting flounder, porgy, triggerfish and even kingfish on some of the inshore wrecks and reefs. They troll up some bluefish, and got into bonito a couple of weeks back before they disappeared.
He is using squid and clam to fish the wrecks and reefs, plus he said Fish-Bites artificial bloodworms are outfishing the real thing.
He said that the great tuna action they had at the canyons and Hot Dog has spread out, so the fish are harder to find after a long ride offshore.
O'Neill said he had an experience that surely fits into the unusual category. He said he watched "thousands" of brown sharks boiling around the boat. He said he did not know what was going on.
Emil Conti of Ventnor wanted to fish the Angler's Club Fishing Pier in Margate on Friday morning but got soaked by a rainstorm going from the car to the pier. So he went back home and got wet again going from the car to his residence. On the second try later in the day, he made it. And he said after one of the rain squalls stopped, he caught some nice-size bluefish along, as did other club members, some of whom toughed it out on the pier while also getting wet in the rain.
On Thursday, Mike Hurchik said the water around the Ventnor City Fishing Pier was thick with spot. On Friday, he said that same area was thick with grass. They caught some kingfish Thursday but on Friday they got one. The spot were still in there, however, so the rain and building surf did not chase them.
"Scott" Scott said it was "pretty nice" out when he answered the phone Friday morning at Ray
He said that despite the threatening-looking conditions, he had two rental boats out. Scott said there was a light northeast breeze that was nice and cool.
He also said that dock tenant David Rubin caught and released a tiger shark off Great Egg Inlet. And Scott said he saw what he guessed to be 3- to 4-foot brown sharks finning on the surface recently while he was out on his boat in GE Inlet.
The surf at Long Beach Island has a lot of things going on, including flounder, kingfish and small bluefish. Eddie Johnston and David Smith, who both work at Oceanside Bait and Tackle in Brighton Beach, went surf-fishing Thursday down the street from the shop and picked off 17 kingfish in an hour, according to Johnston.
He also said brown sharks are taking chunks of bunker.

Just how good are things looking for St Kilda?
The Saints go into today's clash with Richmond unbeaten in six AFL pre-season and premiership matches this year.
The all-ticket home match at Telstra Dome promises to be a financial bonanza for the Saints, who have named an unchanged line-up and are hot favourites with the bookies against the infuriatingly inconsistent Tigers.
It's a far cry from the dark days of 2000-02, when St Kilda finished in the bottom two for three consecutive years.
"We have been up for a while but the good thing about it is some of the players [who] have been down, they're the ones that have stepped up and we've got a good team contribution and I think we can keep that going," said Lenny Hayes, who is captain this year as part of St Kilda's leadership rotation policy.
"They're a good side and they're going to come out pretty pumped up but hopefully we'll get the win."
The Saints' three-pronged key forward set-up of Fraser Gehrig, Nick Riewoldt and Aaron Hamill - fresh from signing a lucrative contract that will keep him at St Kilda until 2008 - is set to provide a major headache for Richmond coach Danny Frawley.
Former All Australian fullback Darren Gaspar is likely to have first crack at Gehrig. But Gaspar is coming off a shocker against Melbourne when Demons skipper David Neitz burnt him with nine goals. Ray Hall, Andrew Kellaway and Ty Zantuck will all be considered for the big jobs on Riewoldt and Hamill.
The Saints also look to have the edge in the midfield, although Richmond would fancy Brad Ottens and Greg Stafford against makeshift Saints rucking duo Trent Knobel and Jason Blake.
Surprisingly, Richmond also named the same team which was thumped by 59 points by Melbourne last week.

Although most processors accept the need to predry resins, particularly highly hygroscopic ones, many do not understand the basics - or even the vocabulary of resin drying. The extent to which moisture affects the quality of a molded or extruded part is determined by the specific plastic resin being processed and the intended purpose of the part. Regardless, it is highly probable that improper or incomplete drying of the raw material will create problems, whether during processing or when the product is in use, or worse - both. The following topics to the left under "Drying Basics" help form a guide to understanding the basics of dehumidifying plastics material as well as the esthetic and performance issues that present from improper drying. Above schematic shows how dual bed desiccant bed dryers work. This is an old technology that has been largely replaced by desiccant wheel dryers and membrane dryers. Click on "Dryer Types" – on the left to get an idea of how many different drying methods are used for plastics resins. uuid:fe720323-9564-4aca-bd65-536207c96793;id=1815Copyright © Gardner Business Media, Inc. 20172017-08-22T09:15:12Zhttps://d2n4wb9orp1vta.cloudfront.net/resources/images/225/cdn/cms/basics5.jpg

This event has become a family tradition for us - the kids love the American Tobacco Campus and all the lights. This year's event, however, was a bit of a let-down. It did not seem to be as organized and "eventful" as in years past.
Bring back the kids singing Christmas carols and cut out recognition of the corporate sponsors. There was too much down time.
Wool E. Claus is awesome.

The owner of a Taiwan cock and Shamo hen stolen from the Avebury area may never be able to replace it, police have said.
Police believe that the exotic bird could have been targeted by thieves to use in illegal cock fighting matches.
It was stolen from its coup between midnight and 6am on Tuesday, January 21 and and is worth between £500 and £600.
This breed is used in the bloodsport, where two roosters are pitted against each other in a ring and are bet on.
The Shamo hen, worth about £200, was also taken at the time of the incident while other, more common, breeds of chicken were left behind.
PC David Tippetts, of Marlborough Neighbourhood Police, said: "One of the possibilities is that it has been taken to be used in cock fighting but the other possibility is that it has been taken for breeding purposes because it is quite rare.
"This type of incident isn't common but it isn't unheard of.
"Cock fighting does happen in England and although we don't know of any incidents in Wiltshire that doesn't mean it's not happening.
"It could be that someone just noticed them as they were driving past and took them."
The birds were locked up overnight and were kept as pets on a smallholding.
"The owner is very upset," said PC Tippetts.
"Because of the value of the birds he probably won't be able to afford to replace them.
"If anyone has been offered this type of bird of at a knock-down price they should get in contact with the police."
Police can be contacted by calling 101.

ok, I'm just gonna jump in if that's okay.
I'm 16 months postpartum and just finished my 16th period since I had the baby... My luteal phase has been 5-6 days long lately so I am feeling, uhm, less than hopeful for a successful pregnancy. I may have had a very early miscarriage two cycles ago (I refused to test, so I can't be sure). Plus I have a history of early losses, plus I'm nursing the 16 mo, very often.
I skipped TTC last cycle to take care of some health issues, but now I'm back!
I guess I'll be posting all around this forum...

Pittsburgh restaurants vie for title at Taste of the Championships
They won't be swinging from parallel bars or trying to stay upright on a 4-inch-wide balance beam, but some local chefs will be involved in a competition of their own at the P&G Gymnastics Championships running Aug. 21 to 24 at Consol Energy Center, Uptown.
Five fine-dining establishments will vie for recognition and bragging rights with special gymnastic-theme entrees that will be added to their menus in the Steel City's Taste of the Championships. The event is a joint effort among Visit Pittsburgh, USA Gymnastics and Highmark, to promote healthy eating.
In addition, a number of Pittsburgh-area restaurants will offer discounts during the week to P&G Gymnastics participants, spectators and guests.
Each of the five entries will be judged on creativity, presentation, taste and nutritional value. Nothing can be fried; the focus should be on whole grains and lean meats.
Becky Duncan, a registered dietician for Highmark, based in Camp Hill, will provide the nutrition analysis of each recipe in the contest.
"I will give them suggestions, as well," she says. "These chefs know how to combine flavors to make a meal that tastes good and is good for you. I work with chefs all the time who have such great ideas of what to replace salt with or what to use in place of something else to make something low in fat."
Duncan will be searching out a meal that is lean, low in fat, high in fiber and full of fruits and vegetables, she says. She will be examining the protein content, too. Gymnasts need protein, she says. Fish would be a great option.
"Also, I want a dish that's not dripping in sauce," Duncan says. "It also has to look and smell good."
Led by 1996 Olympian John Macready, a panel of celebrity judges will visit each Downtown restaurant Aug. 21 to 23. An awards presentation is planned for Aug. 24.
The lineup is The Capital Grille, Meat and Potatoes, Nine on Nine, NOLA and The Carlton.
Kevin Joyce, owner of The Carlton, says he was immediately interested in taking part, because it gives his chef an opportunity to create something new, and it's another way to develop healthier meals, which is a goal of the restaurant.
The competition is perfect because it is important for the athletes to eat the proper food to be able to compete at such a high level, Joyce says. Having to follow guidelines wasn't a problem because the restaurant accommodates individual dining preferences from vegan to gluten-free to heart-healthy on a daily basis.
Carlton executive chef Simon DeJohn says he is up for the challenge. He chose Vegetable Bean Paella With Toasted Almond Faro and Chicken Braciole.
"It is definitely off the beaten path from what I am used to, but I did some research and found that these athletes like to eat ... carbs and protein," DeJohn says. "I also wanted to blend flavors together to give the meal a bold taste."
He added zucchini, squash and tomatoes and flavored the dish with paprika, chili powder and saffron.
"It is both a flavorful and healthy dish," DeJohn says. "So, it tastes good and you feel good about eating it."
Nine on Nine owner Courtney Crawford says she didn't think twice about being part of this event.
"I really wanted to be involved," Crawford says. "It's an important event for the city."
Her chef, Lee Corbett, is creating Hawaiian Onaga Manna with local peaches and charred corn pico, whole-wheat couscous with lemon, parsley and English cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, basil olive oil and Saba reduction.
The Capital Grille's entree, created by executive chef Travis Hall, is named the Tuna Tuck and Twist and features fresh crab-stuffed Ahi tuna rolled in seaweed with crisp Panko, served atop gingered rice and accompanied by chile-pepper water.
"This is a great way to be involved with the gymnastics championships," Casey Henderlong, managing partner at The Capital Grille, says. "It gives participants and visitors a wonderful opportunity to walk around the city. We are so excited to be a part of it, even more so for those of us at the restaurant who ourselves have some background in gymnastics from years ago. It is also great to have some friendly competition with other local fine restaurants."
The P&G Championships, the national championship for USA Gymnastics, showcases the country's top male and female gymnasts, who are vying for U.S. titles and national-team berths at the four-day event.
"This is the fifth year for the Taste of the Championships, and every year it just gets better," says Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics.
"The restaurants are so creative with their entrees, and John and his panel of judges have a great time visiting the restaurants, trying the entrees and interacting with the chef, staff and fans. The Taste of the Championships has become a popular initiative with everyone involved," he says.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/2/2013 (1664 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Welcome to Warroad, Minnesota - also known by its other name, Hockeytown, U.S.A.
The town of 1,700, just over the border of southeast Manitoba, is a hockey hotbed that attracts families from the U.S. and Canada due to the opportunities available for young players.
The Free Press recently travelled to Warroad to meet Daimon Gardner and his father Vince.
Originally from Eagle Lake First Nation near Dryden, Ont., Vince, Daimon and his three older sisters live in Warroad during the school year for one reason: hockey.
At nine years old, Daimon is on the ice almost every day of the week.
He's already been courted to play for other teams in tournaments as far away as Vancouver.
Free Press photojournalist Joe Bryksa and multimedia editor Tyler Walsh spent some time recently with Daimon and Vince, who coaches the Warroad team, as they prepared for a regular season game.

Tomorrow in the Winnipeg Free Press
There's a revolution taking place in Canadian minor hockey. Some call it evolution; others call it anarchy on ice.
Across the country, teams are being spawned by the hundreds outside the long arm of Hockey Canada. It's an entire subset of unregulated, under-the-radar programs, especially for children between the ages of eight and 13. They have become a beacon for parents with needs to fill and money to spend — whether they can afford it or not.
The most elite teams will spend the months of April, May and June travelling across North America — from Boston to Chicago to Toronto to Los Angeles — participating in tournaments that can reap organizers tens of thousands of dollars in just one weekend.
The tabs for parents can run well over $20,000. But increasingly, money is no object. In fact, the competition created in the spring leagues has only escalated the price of success.
In Winnipeg, minor hockey has become a 12-month-a-year sport, where a plethora of camps, tournaments, training programs and teams have been spawned — and proliferated — in the last decade.
How's this for irony: there are some hockey-obsessed kids in Winnipeg right now, as young as eight, who are on the ice more than any member of the National Hockey League's Winnipeg Jets.

My first experience was giving couch to a couple from Argentina, it was nice, they were very kind and respectful, even I have contact with them because I came to live to their country. My second experience was on a trip to Cusco, I made trekking with a guy from England during four day, it was great, actually i learned too much from him.
I like traveling too much, the walks through the countryside, the craft fairs, the art, read and the ice cream.

As we all know that Facebook doesn't provide any option to track your profile visitors as orkut do…But many of us want to know the profile visitors of their accounts. This made an evolution of lots of Facebook applications which say that they will track our recent profile visitors but none of they works in real. I saw few posts in the websites saying that they will show the recent visitors by following few steps said by them…finally what I realized after wasting my time is all of them are fake!! none of them work in real. So if none of the apps work, then how to track the recent visitors in Facebook..is that possible ?. Answer is Yes !! Finally I found a way to track the recent visitors and it works for 100% as it is no way related to any applications or some crap ! We can track our profile visitors in our Facebook account it self ! Why can't I see who is stalking my Facebook profile? There are other social networks that do let you see who's viewed your profile, mainly LinkedIn and its "Who's Viewed Your Profile" feature. Regular users can see a recent list of who has been spying on you, along with some basic analytics, while paid users can see up to 90 days worth of viewers, as well as more detailed analytics. It's great for seeing potential job interest and company prospects. And what's better than finding a hot girl that has a great job? Finding one that viewed your profile. So, why doesn't Facebook jump on board? How great would it be to know when a girl you just friended viewed your profile and photos? It would be pretty clutch. While there isn't a built-in feature to see who exactly has checked you out, you still might be able to get some information on how often your Facebook friends are viewing your profile.

(CNSNews.com) - The battle over whether union officials should be able to force workers to join a union and pay dues escalated Wednesday when AFL-CIO protesters used bullhorns to interrupt a meeting of right-to-work advocates at the Heritage Foundation on Capitol Hill.
Political leaders from Oklahoma gathered at Heritage to talk about implementing a right-to-work strategy following a September referendum in which Oklahoma voters decided to amend their state constitution with a right-to-work provision. Twenty-one other states have similar laws.
More than 30 demonstrators, however, stormed the lobby of the Heritage Foundation, staging a sit-in outside the door of the auditorium and using bullhorns and chants to interrupt the meeting until Capitol Police arrived.
U.S. Sen. Don Nickles (R-Okla.) said he views the right-to-work debate as "a battle for freedom."
"Everybody should have the right to join a union and a right not to join a union," Nickles said. "No one should be compelled to join a union.
"It is a very simple and fundamental freedom, one that you have to fight for. Freedom has never ever been free and you have to step up to the plate and fight," Nickles said.
Nickles thanked business leaders and other politicians for supporting the right-to-work initiative.
"I just want to say thank you for fighting this fight. I think it took a broad effort. It took political leadership. It took grassroots efforts. It took editorial efforts. It took a lot of people standing up for what is right, and, frankly, the issue is right."
Nickles said Oklahoma's right-to-work amendment, which affects all contracts negotiated after Sept. 28, would protect employee freedom, promote economic growth and create new jobs.
R. Marc Nuttle, the chief strategist for Oklahoma's right-to-work initiative, said the debate revolves around a "classic" question: "Should you have to pay union dues as a condition of employment? It is as simple as that," he said.
Nuttle also outlined the level of opposition mounted against the Oklahoma initiative.
"Labor took this very seriously. They admitted to spending $15 million. We can calculate about $20 million," Nuttle said. "We raised and spent about $6.4 million. It was the most money ever spent and raised in a campaign, by far, in the state of Oklahoma. It ranks nationally per capita as one of the top expenses in a race in the last twenty years."
Nuttle also questioned the tactics of labor groups in the campaign. "It was a campaign strategy by labor to lie and lie often. The point was to scare a certain sector of society that was very dependant upon government programs, particularly single women with children."
As right-to-work advocates listened to Nuttle describe the success of the campaign, AFL-CIO members and supporters crashed the meeting.
Using bullhorns, protestors chanted, "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Right To Work Has Got To Go." and "Right To Work Means Work For Less."
Steve Rosenthal, political director for the AFL-CIO, led the protest.
"We are demonstrating because we are opposed to right-to-work. We think it is bad for working people. It is going to lower wages, there will be fewer people with health care benefits, fewer people with pensions," Rosenthal said. "The bottom line is that in states where there is right-to-work, we have seen a deterioration of living standards for working families.
"It's not a matter of businesses leaving, it is a matter of getting paid a decent, livable wage for working families," Rosenthal added. "What happens in states with right-to-work is that unions are weaker and as a result, it is clear that unions provide better wages and living standards for working families."
Protestors peacefully filed out of the lobby of the Heritage Foundation when Capitol Police arrived. A picket line was formed outside the building and protestors marched and chanted but quickly left the premises.
A coalition of unions, including the Oklahoma chapter of the AFL-CIO, is suing to overturn the state's right-to-work amendment, arguing that certain provisions contradict federal law and are violations of the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause. The clause stipulates that federal law supersedes state law.
The lawsuit is expected to reach the courtroom in the next several months.

updated at 8:45 a.m. to include comment from Milwaukee Public Schools
By Ryan Ekvall | Wisconsin Reporter
MADISON, Wis. — The long vacant Malcolm X Academy in Milwaukee, part of a heavily criticized real estate development, will remain shuttered for all of 2014 and possibly 2015, Wisconsin Reporter has learned.
As officials for Milwaukee Public Schools and the developer, 2760 Holdings LLC, hammer out the final terms of the sale, the school district is set to make lease payments beginning April 1 on the school building to the developer.
The deal that one state lawmaker previously said "stinks to high heaven," "is typical of that process," according to assistant city attorney Thomas Gartner. "It could take a couple years for a developer to proceed with a project like that."
Gartner said there was no time frame for sides to finalize the sale. The deal hinges on Holdings 2760's ability to win taxpayer-backed financing, a combination of low income housing tax credits from the state and redevelopment authority bonds from the city.
The developer has failed to meet a deadline for seeking low income housing tax credits as required in the term sheet approved by the Milwaukee Common Council. A 30-day deadline to complete an "offer to purchase" and 60-day deadline after that to close, laid out in the term sheet, have long passed.
The term sheet, however, isn't a legally binding document.
"The train is leaving the station on this one. Is the deal even in existence?" said CJ Szafir, educational director for the public interest law firm Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. "Why haven't they filed for tax credits that were deemed essential for the redevelopment?"
Dennis Klein and James Phelps, the principals in 2760 Holdings, couldn't be reached for comment.
"It is in the best interest of MPS and taxpayers to coordinate the closing on the real estate, closing on financing and the approval of the final lease concurrently," wrote MPS spokesman Tony Tagliavia in a statement to Wisconsin Reporter. "Because negotiations are still underway, we would not be able to provide anything beyond our comments here, but any timeline changes would come back to the Board once negotiations are completed. As for tax credits, we cannot speak for the developer."
Henry Tyson, superintendent of St. Marcus Lutheran Academy, the gold standard in Milwaukee's school choice program, last year offered more than $1 million cash for the Malcolm X building. Tyson's proposal for a school to teach 900 students beginning this fall would have been completed with $5 to $8 million in private renovations.
MPS refused Tyson's offer and with its blessing the Milwaukee Common Council instead agreed to terms with 2760 Holdings.
In an Oct. 25, 2013, e-mail Klein explained the complicated sale and lease agreement to MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton.
"We buy for $2.1MM get a lease for total payments of $4.2MM and agree to put $2.1MM into improving the building," Klein's e-mail read. "We net zero….We get $4.2MM we give back $4.2MM. Only exception is we get the small piece on 1st Street to use for a (Low Income Housing Tax Credit) property."
MPS would also pay for maintenance of the building during the lease period, according to the term sheet. At the end of the lease, MPS has the option to repurchase the educational portion of the building for $1. The other half of the building will be renovated for housing and community use.
The emails obtained by WILL show MPS officials may have been misleading about the finances of agreement and the speed with which the building could be renovated and used.
"I think you are overstating your position," wrote Dennis Klein, chairman of KBS construction, in an email to MPS officials. "In the short term, the building cannot be used."
In another email he wrote, "The term 'break even' is misleading. MPS is paying more rent than I am spending on the building."
At the time, school officials and city aldermen took criticism from school choice supporters and conservatives for not allowing bids on the project.
In an email to MPS board member Larry Miller dated Nov. 4, alderman Bob Bauman, who voted for the deal, wrote that he had problems with the chosen developer and would have preferred an request-for-proposal process to solicit multiple bids on the project.
"This transaction is unnecessarily complex for apparently political reasons," Bauman wrote.
Bauman told Wisconsin Reporter on Thursday that he'd be "shocked to know" that title to the property hasn't changed hands.
"They better conform to the term sheet," Bauman said. "We approved an agreement in principle."
Officials pushing for the agreement repeatedly stressed urgency and said "time was of the essence" to get a deal done, which precluded them from the normal process of accepting bids from multiple developers.
"The urgency we face is due to a number of deadlines including applications for tax credits," Miller replied. "But clouding the process is the pressure from the State legislature concerning MPS facilities."
Their urgency may also have been fueled by a bill passed this month by the Assembly compelling MPS to make vacant buildings available for purchase to choice and charter schools. It is uncertain whether the Senate will take up the bill before the session expires. Senate Republicans will discuss the bill next week.

As if his scoring slump wasn't enough, it appears Alex Burrows hard luck season just got worse. The Province is reporting Burrows will be out indefinitely with a broken jaw which he suffered Sunday on a Chris Tanev clear that caught him in the face. Burrows returned to the game and even laughed about the incident post-game, but apparently the damage is worse than originally feared.
Burrows has struggled so far this season, putting up 0 goals, 3 assists, and a -7 rating in 17 games.
Without Burrows, the Canucks will be looking to Zack Kassian – who was a healthy scratch in Carolina – to step back into the lineup. Burrows had found his way back onto a line with the Sedins, but with him out for the foreseeable future Ryan Kesler looks like a prime candidate to get the call up to the first line once again. Kesler had immediate success with the Twins earlier in the season, but a lack of secondary scoring landed him back on the second line in an attempt to better balance the scoring. Kassian is an intriguing option with the twins, and were it not for his suspension to start the season he likely would've started on the top line, however he hasn't been a Tortorella favourite as of late and likely will not see time in the top six, even with Burrows on the shelf once again.

Royal Doulton Bursley Round Platter Hunting Scene Dog Rabbits
Beautiful antique platter or large charger from Royal Doulton, technically Doulton Bursley, with a lovely transfer ware and hand painted hunting related scene of a beagle or hunting dog and rabbit. The deep elaborate border is a lovely pale green with pale yellow flowers over white china with the center hunting motif. On the back is the Royal Doulton underglaze mark in blue; dating this to circa 1901 - 1922, we think this piece near the earlier of this period; plus the incised mark for Doulton Bursley and a number above that incises that is very hard to make out, starting we think with a 1. The time period is further established with the numbers D1319 which identifies the time and the earthenware category. We find no artist signature. This platter measures 14 & 1/2 across and has a shallow bowl shape with the height being 1 & 1/4". It is in good condition, we see a line about 2 inches long that one can feel with the finger, but not a true crack; possibly a hairline on the surface only or a scratch from prior use given the age. We have not been able to find a pattern name for this at all after days of searching. The workmanship of the painting in the center and the style and motif are very similar to the hunting series in the style of Morland, which was done during this same time period. This also may be a piece that was commissioned: this came to us through another dealer who purchased it from a woman who inherited it from her mother. Her mom had done some type of work or favor for the wife of a Governor of Tennessee, and this platter plus a group of matching plates were given to her in exchange. We have been unable to find any other items with this same pattern number, but did notice the similarity in style and time period as before mentioned. The borders are transfer but may have some hand painting under the glaze.We believe the center to be at least transfer outlines with hand painting and may be totally hand painted. This platter could of course be used on the dining table, and when not in use properly presented for display on an easel or plate stand. We have the matching pattern # dinner plates also listed in our shop with two bunnies in the woods but no dog. What we know for sure is marks are authentic, time period well established by both markings. Lovely and potentially rare or unique piece.

The aim of the Network is to create opportunities for MSc alumni to meet, hear interesting speakers and stay in touch with the Department and the School. The Network is part of a broader Economics Department Initiative geared to raising funds for PhD scholarships and salaries at a level that will allow LSE to contend for academic talent with the top US departments.
Once a year the Department hosts an 'Internship and Networking Evening' for our current MSc Students to meet prospective intern employees, and for our alumni to gather and network. This is an informal opportunity to meet others in similar fields with similar interests and is always a great success.
Economics MSc alumni are invited to take part in this newly established Economics Alumni Network, which has over 250 members already.
If you would like to participate in the activities of the network, please make sure your details are updated with Alumni Relations. We are always interested to keep in touch with our alumni, so please do keep your details up to date.
Further information on Alumni Relations can be found at Alumni Relations.
As a flagship department of the LSE, the Department of Economics is the top ranked economics department in Europe and among the top 15 departments worldwide. The foundation of a world-renowned department rests upon a combination of outstanding faculty and top-flight PhD students who wish to work with and learn from leading scholars in their fields. This Economics initiative is aimed at helping us to compete with leading US departments in order to secure our place on the world stage.
The recruitment and retention of top quality economists is essential to diminishing the gap between LSE and the leading US departments. We are grateful to those who have already contributed to the Economics Initiative. In particular, we want to thank Elisabeth Scitovsky, Adam Broadbent, David T Beers, Emily Goustis, Johannes Huth, Martin J Newson, Graham Shore, and Phoebus Theologites. We hope that these welcome developments will be the first of many.

Pirate bed
Heck yeah! What little guy wouldn't love a bed like this? There's a mast at the head of the bed, several storage drawers along the side, and a helm where he can become captain at the foot of the bed. There's even two windows that you can light up along with low-volt bulbs.

Khloe shared the pics of the new Kardashian Kollection (they really need to stop with all this Ks malarky) lingerie advert for US department store Sears.
The Kardashian clan already have a women's wear, denim, bags and shoes range, so it was only a matter of time before they started designing (cough, cough) their own underwear.
Khloe (the one in the middle) tweeted "OMG how fab is this new ad for Kardashian Kollection lingerie?!? Nothing makes me feel sexier, plus it's all so comfy! Killing two birds with one stone! LOL,"
Ahh yes, the sexy and comfy stones. Megalolz!
Never exactly the shy and retiring type, Kim and Kourtney have gone for suspenders, pants and massive heels (a trusted look for strippers everywhere).
While Khloe looks distinctly covered up compared to the other two.
But that's not saying much.
And later, when Kim decided she couldn't sleep, instead of having an Ovaltine and counting some sheep, she tweeted this picture of herself:
Accompanied by the words "Can't sleep tonight...."
Nor can any men who've seen this photo.
And Kim managed to take time out of her busy pants-modelling, tweeting schedule to find out if blondes really do have more fun.
The once-married for 72 days star went to a wig shop in LA and had a right old laugh pretending to have long, platinum locks.
She quickly took it off again though. No-one wants to be mistaken for Lindsay Lohan.

William Monahan Directing Mojave
For his next turn behind the camera
While he's won plenty of acclaim for his scripts (including an Oscar for The Departed), William Monahan had a rude awakening to the changeable nature of success and filmmaking with his directorial debut, London Boulevard. But that rough first experience isn't stopping him from giving it another go, setting up crime thriller Mojave.
Like many scripts at the moment, all of the plot specifics are being kept strictly under lock and key, which usually means we feel a little disappointed if we watch the eventual film and it turns out to contain lots of story turns we've seen time and time again.
Still, Dark Knight producer Chuck Roven is clearly happy to be overseeing the film via his Atlas Independent label, an offshoot of his main company that specialises in movies budgeted at $10 million or less.
"Working with Chuck Roven and Atlas is perfection from my point of view, and has already led to a brilliant ongoing relationship," Monahan said in a press release swiped by Deadline. "It's the strongest possible company and they're specifically in the business of protecting quality work. Atlas and I have decided to do a lot of work together and here we go." Anyone else hear him dicating that last line in the style of Heath Ledger's Joker? Just us?
Once he's locked down a cast, Monahan aims to be in production this August.
