In knots
from the stuff that's happened this week.
There was an outdoor antique show, a stag and doe, a first little league practice, a martial arts belt test, standardized testing at school, a porch railing collapse, a horrific fall, one 911 call, two ambulance rides, three x-rays, one broken wrist, two broken ribs, a contusion to the head, a scrape to the cheek, a 2 a.m. trip to the all-night pharmacy, the annual school fun-fair, gymnastics practice and a birthday dinner & movie with 5 screaming almost 9-year old girls...
I'm focusing on this...
the dream that came true 9 years ago tomorrow...
My heart is so full.
Kevin & Court had a horrible fall but are thankfully on the mend!

Britney Spears should see a doctor
Here's a clip from Britney Spears' Circus concert in Oakland last night. As a dancer descends from the ceiling and uses Herculean strength to pull Britney off a bed, her hair falls out. A large chunk. At first I thought, "The Frappucinos are taking their toll." But then someone explained to me women wear these things called "extensions." Who knew? Anyway, enjoy the choreography which is executed with all the natural grace of a manatee.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/1/2013 (1686 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PAT Martin has stayed uncharacteristically quiet about a report he's looking to settle a libel lawsuit.
The Winnipeg Centre NDP MP was in Winnipeg Tuesday and didn't respond to Free Press requests for comment over the lawsuit by RackNine, an Edmonton company.
The $5-million lawsuit was a result of remarks Martin made about the company's involvement in robocalls made during the 2011 federal election.
Elections Canada is looking into the person who used the company's services to send misleading messages to people about where to vote, but has said the company itself is not under investigation.
Martin has already launched a fundraising website toward his legal costs.

Max DeMara of Lions 101 will spend part of this week and next visiting and watching the Detroit Lions during their training camp in Allen Park, Michigan. Armed with only a ballpoint pen and an index card, he'll jot down everything interesting and mundane that fans need to know prior to the 2013 season.
Trying to beat the threat of afternoon rain, the Detroit Lions put the pads on and started hitting Tuesday morning. The best moves, however, might have come in between the action. Louis Delmas, back in pads, took time out to showcase his dance moves in between drills, and even put a full nelson down later on an unlucky teammate. Clearly, he's feeling more chipper by the day.
7 on 7 workout drills shifted over to the other field today, leaving the special teamers in full view from the front grandstands. Before that, though, there was plenty of quality action in workouts and drills.
Defensive Back, Wide Reciever And Quarterback Workouts:
-Foot speed looked excellent early, with all the defensive backs moving fluidly through their first small cone drills. Once again, ball security was good, even as the contact drills began.
-Delmas was moving well for the second camp day in a row, looking sharp moving side to side and forward and back.
-The wide receivers, working from the other sideline, were still practicing well. Calvin Johnson was in his normal form today, making a few solid catches over the shoulder.
-Michael Williams was being used plenty in a receiving role today and didn't look bad at all. He can be a blocking threat as well as a catching threat, making him a more diversified weapon than many assume.
-Darius Slay showed well going against the first team offense, making a nice pass breakup on Nate Burleson, quickly and excitedly clapping his hands after the fact.
-Mostly, more short passes ruled the day, with quick slants going over the middle to several smaller, speedy wide receivers. Patrick Edwards, Michael Spurlock, Mike Thomas and even Johnson got into the slant act early.
-Underneath routes to Reggie Bush looked good, with Bush's acceleration and Matthew Stafford's accuracy being key on the outside. Watch for these plenty in the red zone, as Bush scored in such an occasion during 7 on 7 drills later on.
Special Teams Work Outs:
-For the first day, kickers and punters got plenty of work in. Havard Rugland and David Akers started by pounding short field goals, first from tees and then with holds from punter Sam Martin and Blake Clingan.
-Akers, for the most part, kicked well within short yardage situations. He hit a noticeable wall practicing near the 50 yard range, however, missing three field goals in a row while throwing his hands up in frustration. Rugland excelled, with higher lofted kicks that easily cleared the netting.
-In live action, though, Akers quickly turned things up and moved on from his practice struggles, lofting plenty of field goals through the uprights with a full out rush on.
-Punting-wise, Sam Martin was fantastic, more so than Clingan. Off his foot, the ball makes a different sound and spirals high. He routinely was booting the ball down past the 20 yard line and also was impressive executing coffin corner drills and kicking toward the sideline.
7 On 7 Drills:
-Johnson was in full display, as Stafford worked him all over the field, across the middle and sideline to sideline, showcasing his strength and talent.
-A commitment to the running game was evident. with the first two plays being rushes to Bush up the middle and off tackle. Bush bounced the first play out for a big gain. Later, Steven Miller was used in the same way.
-Williams, a tight end, was being used with the first team in a stand up, blocking role. With the offensive line more than a bit uncertain this season, perhaps the Lions wish to use more multiple tight end sets and stand up a player like Williams to give Stafford extra protection and boost the running game.
Play Of The Day:
-Kellen Moore, rebounding from his tough Sunday, fires a high pass to Joseph Fauria, who climbs the ladder to score over two defenders in the red zone. Naturally, Fauria celebrated with a big spike.
Numbers To Know:
2, Fake field goals ran by the Lions during special teams workouts. One was intercepted.
3, The number of consecutive misses David Akers fired from long range today while casually kicking.
12, The jersey number of Matt Willis, who made the nicest catch during 7 on 7 drills, snagging a pass in very heavy traffic.
Quote Of Note:
"We need 'em all, don't we?" -Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford's deadpanned, smiling reaction to the assumption the team needed Ryan Broyles this season. Stafford also said Broyles is looking good on the field coming off his knee ailments.

RPMsg Kernel Client Application
The page illustrates how to build and run an rpmsg Linux kernel space client to communicate with a slave processor (e.g. DSP, IPU, etc) using IPC's RPMessage module.
Generally it is recommended to perform core-to-core communication from user space, typically using MessageQ. User space is a more application-friendly environment without GPL constraints, and with fewer compatibility breaks between kernel releases. But some use cases may require kernel space IPC, so this article describes how that can be done.
- IPC 3.10.02 or greater
- Linux Kernel with rpmsg and Remoteproc features enabled
This section outlines how to build both the Linux kernel rpmsg client and corresponding RPMessage slave-side application.
Linux client app
Recent Linux kernel releases contain an rpmsg client sample that can be built as a module. As of Linux kernel version 3.11 or less, the rpmsg client sample build is broken and requires some manual steps to build.
The Linux-side sample module is located in the samples/rpmsg directory of the Linux kernel sources.
Edit the Makefile in the samples/rpmsg directory to include only the following line:
obj-m := rpmsg_client_sample.o
NOTE: The $(CONFIG_SAMPLE_RPMSG_CLIENT) string was replaced with m in the Makefile.
Issue the following command to build the application as a module. Replace the variables below to the appropriate location of the Linux kernel sources and the ARM's cross-compiler tools.
make -C $(KERNEL_INSTALL_DIR) M=$(KERNEL_INSTALL_DIR)/samples/rpmsg ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$(TOOLCHAIN_INSTALL_DIR)/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- modules
This results with an rpmsg_client_sample.ko file located in the samples/rpmsg directory of your Linux kernel. Copy the file to your device's file-system.
SYS/BIOS slave app
The IPC distribution contains a corresponding RPMessage based slave application. Follow the IPC Install Guide for building the SYS/BIOS-side of IPC appropriate for your device. Once the build completes, navigate to the $(IPC_INSTALL_DIR)/packages/ti/ipc/tests/bin/<PLATFORM> directory. There you will find an ping_tasks.x<suffix> file. Copy the file to your device's file-system.
This section outlines how to load and run the previous built applications.
Slave-side app
The Linux kernel's remoteproc features are used to load the slave core(s). The slave core binary(s) must be copied into the /lib/firmware directory of your device's file-system and renamed appropriately for the target device.
For DRA7XX, the files should be as follows:
dra7-dsp1-fw.xe66 dra7-dsp2-fw.xe66 dra7-ipu1-fw.xem4 dra7-ipu2-fw.xem4
Execute the following to load the slave core(s) on your target's file-system.
target# modprobe remoteproc target# modprobe omap_remoteproc
The slave-core application(s) are now loaded.
Linux-side app
The Linux kernel's rpmsg driver must be installed onto the running kernel assuming the driver has been built as the kernel module. To install in, execute the following on the target.
target# modprobe rpmsg_proto
The rpmsg client application is implemented as a kernel module. It's written to send/receive 100 messages from the slave core(s). To run the rpmsg client module, execute the following on the target.
target# modprobe rpmsg_client_sample
target# insmod rpmsg_client_sample.ko
The output should resemble the following:
rpmsg_client_sample rpmsg0: new channel: 0x400 -> 0x32! rpmsg_client_sample rpmsg1: new channel: 0x401 -> 0x33! rpmsg_client_sample rpmsg0: incoming msg 1 (src: 0x32) rpmsg_client_sample rpmsg0: incoming msg 2 (src: 0x32) rpmsg_client_sample rpmsg0: incoming msg 3 (src: 0x32) . . .
To re-run the application, the module needs to be removed and re-installed (repeat step above).
target# modprobe -r rpmsg_client_sample
target# rmmod rpmsg_client_sample

We have Pedro Martinez going tonight. The Mets have lost his last three starts. Martinez has gotten gradually better, but to say he's all the way back would be premature.
<img src="http://mets.lohudblogs.com/files/2008/04/images.jpeg" align="right" heighwidth="133″ /
By now you know Billy Wagner won't be ready by Monday, so the Mets will continue with their patchwork situation at closer. Aaron Heilman got it done last night, so I would assume it would be him again tonight.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Sell."
Chesapeake Midstream Partners L.PDividend Yield: 5.60% Chesapeake Midstream Partners L.P (NYSE: CHKM) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.60%. Chesapeake Midstream Partners, L.P. owns, operates, develops, and acquires natural gas, natural gas liquids, and oil gathering systems, as well as other midstream energy assets in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 35.83. Currently there are 8 analysts that rate Chesapeake Midstream Partners L.P a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 2 rate it a hold. The average volume for Chesapeake Midstream Partners L.P has been 386,900 shares per day over the past 30 days. Chesapeake Midstream Partners L.P has a market cap of $2.3 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are up 18% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. TheStreet Ratings rates Chesapeake Midstream Partners L.P as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and generally weak debt management. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, CHESAPEAKE MIDSTRM PRTNRS-LP's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $67.22 million or 51.03% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.48, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Despite the fact that CHKM's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 0.69 is low and demonstrates weak liquidity.
- After a year of stock price fluctuations, the net result is that CHKM's price has not changed very much. Although its weak earnings growth may have played a role in this flat result, don't lose sight of the fact that the performance of the overall market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, was essentially similar. We feel that the combination of its price rise over the last year and its current price-to-earnings ratio relative to its industry tend to reduce its upside potential.
- CHESAPEAKE MIDSTRM PRTNRS-LP has improved earnings per share by 25.9% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, CHESAPEAKE MIDSTRM PRTNRS-LP reported lower earnings of $1.36 versus $1.40 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.44 versus $1.36).

Back in September, Don Valdez, Deuce McGee and I got together and did a podcast with predictions for the 2010 NFL Season. Well the regular season is now over and its time to take a look at how we did. The results weren't pretty. Let's take a look…
As you can see, Deuce McGee did the best of the three, picking three out of eight division winners and selecting seven of 12 playoff teams. He also accurately picked the Falcons to finish ahead of the Saints. Not too shabby.
Don Valdez wasn't quite as good, picking just two division winners and six playoff teams. Don Valdez gets credit for accurately predicting the demise of the Cowboys, saying that because Dallas was hosting the Super Bowl, they would blow their chance at playing a home game and not even make the playoffs. However, for whatever reason, he thought the Redskins would make the playoffs. So he loses points there.
Sadly, I did the worst, picking just one division winner correctly. I did manage to pick seven playoff teams though. I also berated Deuce McGee for picking the Steelers to win the division, with my reasoning being that Pittsburgh would go 0-4 to start the season with Dennis Dixon at quarterback. They went 3-1 in their first four games and won the division.
I salvaged my pride later on in the podcast when I predicted Arian Foster to be the fantasy football breakout player of the year. He turned out to be the top-ranked running back this season. Deuce McGee's pick of Matthew Stafford and Don Valdez's selection of C.J. Spiller didn't work out so well. (Note: Valdez also picked Spiller to be his fantasy bust. So I guess he was partially right)
Amazingly, despite our poor effort in picking division winners, all three of us still have the possibility of being right with our Super Bowl betting (though none seem too likely).
Deuce McGee picked the Jets to defeat the Falcons in the Super Bowl. The Falcons are the #1 seed in the NFC but the Jets have to go on the road and beat Indy and New England. That's not happening.
Don Valdez picked the Jets to defeat the Packers. That's possible, but they are both six seeds, so it's not very likely.
I selected the Packers to defeat the Colts. That is a possibility also, but both would have a tough road ahead of them.
Overall, our picks were pretty shitty. But it probably didn't matter because I don't think anyone listened to it.

When I was in college, I had a classmate who loved to unleash melodious, profanity-laced tirades whenever he didn't play up to his own standards. He was famous for this. One day, while playing for one of the conservatory's more notoriously tough professors, he did this. The professor was not impressed. He said to the student, "You're not good enough to get upset."
Not good enough to get upset. I try to remember this whenever I have a bad run a day or so after drinking too much beer or eating too much cake. The contemporary tendency is to lean toward a megalomania which is encouraged by the empty-headed self-esteem that is taught in most places these days. This encourages an attitude of entitlement, which is certainly a dangerous thing. I can tell you that my worst performances as a musician have come at times when I thought that fate somehow owed me a better showing than I had earned through my own efforts.
You're not good enough to get upset. There is more than one sports star that could benefit from hearing this, and more than a million people glued to ESPN who pick up on the childish behaviors of these stars and translate them to everyday life, where the rest of us are left to dealing with it all.
Another parallel jumps out at me, though. It relates, of course, to politics. Right now, America is dealing with a lot of things that suck: a poor economy, fascistic and socialistic dilutions of the free market, two failing wars—one of which is completely illegal and the other of which is utterly ill-advised, a political system which has descended into epithet-exchanges, an increasingly debased language (and I'm not talking about profanity), and a whole host of other things which presage the imminent collapse of this society.
The truth of the matter is that we had all of this coming to us, one way or another. The Federal Reserve, the New Deal, borrowing money from China, and widespread deficit spending have visited economic disaster upon us. American imperialism, snot-nosed self-righteousness, Messiah complexes (beginning not with Obama but with Wilson and championed by Bush the Lesser), and the like have have gotten us embroiled in a shaky situation that threatens the peace and well-being of most of the world. Parents and their children stare at idiot boxes for hours a day, while the average American reads less than four books a year—and who knows what the exact quality of these books really are.
And after all of this, we have the stubbornness and stupidity to shrug our shoulders and wonder why we're in such bad shape these days and to insist, illogically, that we deserve better. We have, quite simply, asked for it, and we have no right to be upset about it. America has been sucking and rewarding mediocrity and downright corruption for years, and a situation like that cannot last forever. We are dealing with the consequences of a century of stupidity. Much human breath is expended upon America's ability to regain the good will of the rest of the world, but a worse problem remains: We have to rebuild a society that has been existing for a hundred years on false pretenses. This is not going to be pretty.

So this just happened to me… again, so they make it seem that they are completely in lub with you and then Facebook: soandso so is in a relation with entergirlthatisn'tme. And just when I thought I was going to start crushing on this guy :P But the thing was right after we were done talking the relationship status came up O.o
Most Helpful Girl
Most guys are gonna screw you over until you learn game. the sad truth that you may not be aware of is most guys are not looking for relationships. there are more guys looking for a chick to screw than there are guys who go out looking for their next girlfriend. men don't think like women do. so you need to be a little more savvy and realize that just because he ACTS like he's in love doesn't mean he is. in fact, he's probably not. most guys date (or at least try to, or wish they could) more than one girl at a time. this is called playing the field and keeping their options open. you should do this too. why? because if you only talk to one guy at a time, you get pretty invested in him and when things don't work out you feel very disappointed, as you do now. but how much you wanna bet if you talked to 2+ guys at any given time, you'd feel less emotionally attached to the particular guys and when things don't work out, u'd be less disappointed. you'd be like "oh well it happens like that sometimes" and be able to bounce back faster. don't be eager for a relationship, just take things as they come and have fun. don't take guys too seriously22|00|0
It's not a game.
If you treat love like a game, then ofcourse you're going to get screwed over.
In a game there has to be a winner and a loser.
In love there are no winners or losers, it just is.
@Asker: You get screwed over because you're looking for some kind of conformation from him that he won't screw you over. That you can trust him. If he does what he did, then he can't be trusted. You can not force youself to have a crush on someone, if that were true, then it's not a crush.
Your comment, while a nice idyllic one, is assuming that the guys she meets are looking for love, and will not try to manipulate her quest for love.

STATESBORO, Ga. - The Georgia Southern Football team practiced for the 12th time this fall on Sunday, August 14th, as preparations for the September 3rd season opener at Samford continued. Head Coach Jeff Monken's Eagles practiced in shells (shoulder pads and thigh pads) following Saturday's scrimmage on the banks of "Beautiful Eagle Creek." The Eagles have a two-a-day practice scheduled for Monday, which paves the way for an off-day on Tuesday (August 16). The opening session begins at 9 a.m. with the afternoon practice starting at 4:30 p.m.
The practice, scheduled for 18 periods, came to a premature end in the 17th period when lightning was reported in the Statesboro area. The early portions of practice focused on special teams and positional work. The offense and defense clashed before the halftime break and the teams again split into offense and defense for 15 minutes of work.

Christmas on the Carnival Dream: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by travelmomnc
Overall Member Rating
Christmas on the Carnival Dream
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Overall: The Dream is our new favorite Carnival ship. Very family-oriented cruise. Cruise personnel told us that there were 1400 kids on the ship out of a total cruise population of 4500(near capacity). However, the ship did not feel too crowded and adults could escape to the Serenity outdoor seating area if the kids were too overwhelming. The second pool on the rear Lido deck was never over crowded. We liked all of the ports (see below)
Positives: Loved our cove balcony cabin - very stable. The 24 hour pizza grill, pasta bella (upstairs from Lido buffet at lunch only) and tandoori station were fantastic and we ate at least one every day. Large gym with lots of machines - never had to wait. Our cruise director, Jamie, was great. Very organized in More getting people sorted out for their excursions. Really liked the Lanai area - coffee bar, trivia contests, Taste bar, quiet hot tubs, uninterrupted walking track around the ship.
Negatives: Dining staff was very disorganized for the first few days and several dishes were delivered cold. Did not really like 3 formal nights - 2 would have been plenty. Comedians were okay (Jeff the Fund Dude was great) but were not as a group as good as the comedians last year. Did not like Spin class - too hot, head almost hit ceiling and instructor was too intent on outdoing members of class. Aside from the specialty stations mentioned above (pizza, pasta and tandoori) the food was mediocre at best both in the dining room as well as the buffet. However, this helped us to keep to our diets so it was not all bad.
Departure: Walked off, went through security and was in our car by 7 am. Less

Patna, Feb. 12: Gopal Prasad Yadav fumbled a bit when he raised the microphone to speak to BJPs prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi at 7 pm today.
The sight of the chai-wala seated comfortably, sipping tea in Ahmedabad, didnt quite help Gopal, though he has been serving tea for over 15 years now in Patna. Pranam sir (Greetings sir).., Yadav managed. After a pause, he started again, only to stop mid-way, as Modi replied, Pranam bhaiya. (Greetings brother). He stopped again for a while before saying, Sir, Bihar ke taraf se sawaal poochna tha sir. Bihar me bohot gareebi or berozgari hai sir. Kuch vikas kijiye. (Sir, there is a lot of poverty and unemployment in Bihar. Please do something about developing the state).
There was a pause again, during which some 300 people, there to stare at their faces on television, began cheering.
Modi replied: It is a fact that development has not been upto the mark in eastern Indian states. Bihar comprises of very talented people, many holding top positions in the bureaucracy. The condition of Bihar at present is so only because of ku-shashan (bad governance). In the last 20 years, the state didnt see any big power plant coming up though the required coal linkage is not very far away.
No sooner had Modi referred to Biharis as a talented lot than the crowd began raising slogans of Narendra Modi Zindabad. Yadav was the sixth person to ask a question to Modi at the BJPs Chai pe Charcha with NaMo to make their prime ministerial candidate connect with people.
The programme today took place at 1,000 locations including 300 cities. In Bihar, the event took place at 36 tea stalls in major districts like Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur. However, a direct interaction with Modi was allowed at just Patna and Muzaffarpur.
I am providing tea for free today, but the party will pay me. It is a proud feeling and I feel like the Prime Minister myself, he told The Telegraph.
This is for the first time that interaction on such a large scale is taking place in the country with different forms of media and social networking sites connected, Modi said.
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar did not let go of an oppurtunity to make a tongue-in-cheek attack on the social media about the Chai pe Charcha. His Facebook profile read, We are doing Kaam ki charcha rather than Chai pe Charcha. Those who have all the time to boast about themselves are more into Chai pe charcha.
RJD supremo Lalu Prasad called himself the real chai seller. I am the real chai seller. Modi is selling poison, the former chief minister said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/9/2013 (1442 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- Sandra Bullock says acting in the mind-blowing 3D space thriller Gravity was "more like being a part of Cirque du soleil" than acting in a regular film.
Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, Gravity features Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts lost in space after an accident.
Its eye-popping special effects are drawing raves from critics at the Toronto International Film Festival.
At a news conference Monday, Bullock ticked off a list of bizarre contraptions that were used to create the stunning illusion of weightlessness in the film.
She cited an office chair on a hydraulic lift, a wire system that allowed actors to be manipulated by puppeteers and a bicycle seat on a pole.
"We had advisers from Guantanamo," joked Cuarón of the uncomfortable positions and long takes he made his actors endure.
Cuaron said the film presented multiple challenges, including shooting the actors while they were constantly moving.
"There was a lot of careful planning and calculating," he said. "First with the choreography, but (also) ... with how we were going to shoot it. That was the biggest nightmare, because there was no technology... so we had to invent our new set of tools."
Oscar winner Bullock, who is in every scene of Gravity, clearly relished the challenge.
"It was frustrating and lonely and bizarre and you had to sort of dig deep into your imagination and pray that something came up," said.
"But I loved it. I loved that I got to do it and no one had done it before. "
Gravity hits theatres next month.

Chennai: It was clearly a game that was set up by two Australian openers- Chennai Super King Michael Hussey and Rajasthan Royal Shane Watson
Let's start with Michael Hussey.
Chasing Rajasthan's 186-run target, Hussey and Vijay got off a sedate start, taking just three singles off the first over from Ajit Chandila. Rahul Shukla however wasn't as lucky as Mr.Cricket struck two fours in the second over, to get things started for the hosts. He then smashed a six off Chandila in the following over to help CSK move into first gear. One single later, Chandila would celebrate.
Murali Vijay caught and bowled.
Hussey didn't take his foot off the accelerator, pulling and driving Shukla for fours. New batsman Suresh Raina followed his partner's cue, and the duo kept Royals skipper Rahul Dravid on his toes, as each of his bowling changes were milked for boundaries. Both left-handers ran the ones and twos when they were on offer; while Raina helped himself to a majestic six over long off off Watson.
At the end of the 10th over, Chennai were 92/1.
James Faulkner broke through the 90-run partnership, by trapping Raina leg-before-wicket. Hussey however stuck to the task at hand, punishing Stuart Binny and Siddharth Trivedi, by making room and finding the gaps. Kevon Cooper too wasn't spared, as the Aussie smashed three fours in a row to bring the target down to 32 from 24.
Then came the twist.
Hussey went for a single that had risk written all over it, and Dhoni could only watch from the other end as Rahul Dravid hit the stumps with a direct throw, to send Hussey back for 88. One ball later, Ravindra Jadeja was yorked for a duck. Chennai 154/4.
It would be upto Dhoni and Bravo now. After taking 12 off Cooper, Dhoni was clearly getting cramped, as he got set to face Faulkner in the penultimate over of the match. Both batsmen added six runs to the scoreboard, before Dhoni was caught by Binny at long on off the last ball.
11 needed from 6.
It would be a contest between Dwayne Bravo and Shane Watson. Chris Morris did the right thing, taking a single to give Bravo strike. Watson sent down a dot ball, before Bravo went inside out, to hit a six over sweeper cover. The West Indian then took two, after hitting a full toss to long on. Needing two off two, Bravo again took two to help Chennai register a five-wicket win. As his team ran from the dugout, he took his helmet off and celebrated with a spontaneous jig.
Before suffering the ignominy of bowling the last over with the ball, Shane Watson had done well in his padded avatar, hitting the first century of IPL 2013, to help the Rajasthan Royals rake up a majestic total of 185/4. The right-hander struck six sixes and six fours, carrying on while he was losing partners at the other end. Not that they could be blamed, for the Aussie was hogging the lion's share of the strike.
While Rahane, Yagnik and Dravid walked back, Watson (101) found an able ally in Stuart Binny (36), and the duo added 46 runs for the fourth wicket. In all irony, Watson fell to Bravo, after bringing up his century.
Unfortunately, he couldn't finish what he started.

I'd say I'm a grounded, "real," person. I'm very much an introvert, I like to do things with people, but if it's a lot of people I get tired easily, even if I'm not talking a lot. Basically it just takes me awhile to open up to people. Once they're in my circle I'm all in!
I'm on here mainly because I've let my work/professional life dominate my time for a very long time now. So I kind of felt like I was missing out and have changed my attitude about professional life quite a bit over the past 7 years.
To do new things with friends, or just hang out and watch movies/tv/read/play video games. Sitting outside and talking. A good laugh where you can't breathe is one of my favorite feelings.
I love finding new music, or books. The thing I love is that what you take away from art is based on what you've experienced.
Feel free to look through the questions I've answered. I tried to give an explanation for most of them. That should be somewhat informative about my personality as well.
Also, I've noticed the questions I answer on here are kind of phrased poorly or just dumb. So I'm worried about how it uses that information to match people o.o 'Would you sleep with a serial killer?' REALLY?!
Baking/cooking, when I was younger if I wanted cookies or brownies, I had to make them myself. And one time I invented "Brokies" with my friend Virgil, but we have no idea what we ended up putting in them, but they were AMAZING.
Making myself and others feel better through laughter.
Movies: 5th element, Another Earth, Stardust, A Single Man, I am Sam, Adventures in Babysitting, Princess Mononoke, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Blood Diamond, Mystic River, and end with The Orphanage.
Books: "Unbearable Lightness" by portia de rossi, so good. His Dark Materials trilogy, was in love with the Xanth series from 4th-11th grade, and TA Barron, fantasy/sci fi stories in general. Tad Williams Otherland.
TV: Buffy, Popular (Youtube Mary Cherry or B-ho), Cougar town, 30rock, the lying game, vamp diaries, Enlightened, Battlestar...so many more.
Always looking for new music suggestions!
Currently listening to Marika Hackman, Kimbra, POE, and Banks. I like a lot of different stuff. Love MAE as well. Possibly one of my favorite albums ever would be Keane's 'Under the Iron Sea'.
Food: Italian, Chinese, Sushi, things that go in my belly. Dear lord, breakfast food at all hours, and malts during winter.
2. Story telling of some kind (movies & music for example)
3. Family/Friends
4. Food
5. Delicious sleep
6. And time to just recharge by myself
Not ranked in any order
Or managing my time the best I can and studying (lol right) THEN heading out with some friends to do some random fun thing.

This case involves event based fixed term employment. Mr McAuley was employed on a series of four fixed term contracts, the final of which was said to end upon completion of the restructure of Carter Holt Harvey's fire service. On expiry of the fourth agreement Mr McAuley challenged his fixed term employment status and claimed he was entitled to all the benefits received by permanent Carter Holt Harvey employees.
The Authority considered that Carter Holt Harvey did not have a "sufficiently specific proposed event upon which to base a fixed term agreement." It found that the third and fourth fixed term agreements were invalid and Mr McAuley was therefore a permanent employee.
However, on appeal by Carter Holt Harvey, the Court overturned this and took a more practical approach. It considered that the event triggered end date was sufficiently specific. It found that the Authority's interpretation of section 66 requiring a "sufficiently specific proposal" lacked analysis and precedent. The Court, in making its decision, looked at the wording of the agreement, background events relating to the nature of Carter Holt Harvey's intentions as well as Parliament's intention in drafting section 66. It emphasised the need for genuineness, reasonableness and propriety for fixed term agreements to be valid, but noted that this is not the same thing as providing sufficient specificity of the event upon which the agreement expires. In this regard, it was important that Carter Holt Harvey had never abandoned its intentions to restructure its fire service and that this was "a project at all relevant times". This case is of assistance for employers who are considering fixed term agreements for specific projects as it provides useful guidance on the level of detail the agreement needs to have about the termination event.

Marlin halting production?
I was looking for a Marlin XT-22 and discovered that they were impossible to find, brand new in the store.
Remington bought them out, apparently, and they have not been putting out new rifles.
Any news from anyone on Marlin?
A lever-action .357-mag carbine (1894CSS) was at the top of my list and they're not available new right now, either!
The lever action you're looking isn't as popular as some of the other calibers, the 30-30, the new .308 and .338 Marlin Express etc. Might be why they're hard to find. Did you ask anyone if they had some in stock? Wal-Mart here doesn't have a display for every rifle and some are actually in the "Gun Room". The Marlin centerfire bolt actions are popular as well, taking up some production time.
Right now Buds has several Marlin lever guns and the XT series in stock, but no lever in 357Mag. If you really want the 357Mag I would suggest reserving one at Buds, they'll let you know when one comes in. They have several in 30-30, a couple in 45-70, and one in 35 Remington.
Is this the XT-22 you're looking for? If not there's six or seven others including a youth model.

their production stopped around January of this year when they moved operations to Remington's New York plant. they resumed in about March, and some of the newer Marlins were a little difficult to get at the first of the year until they got production back up and running. i ordered a XS7VH in 308 in February and didn't get it until June. my gun dealer said he was having a hard time then also getting the new XT-22 rifles. they did halt production but resumed when they got move to the Remington plant. the Freedom Group who also owns Remington, Bushmaster, DPMS and others, bought Marlin and HR1871 about 2008.
For clarification.
Rossi still makes a lever action in .357 mag. It's may become a nice gun if I ever get mine broken in......... :)
I just thought this current paucity of available guns was a new thing, a current situation. Apparently not. Still, all of my local shops neither have any Marlin 22's in stock, nor do their wholesale distributors have any available. This led me to:
a) assume this was a new situation and,
b) ask y'all if my information was correct.
I am glad to hear that this might simply be a local and temporary issue. It still led me to buy a Savage 22.
I don't think I'd want a Rossi lever carbine, though, nearly as much as I'd want a Marlin.
My mom has a rossi lever in .44 mag. She loves it, and I'll tell you the fit, finish, and function are immaculate. It's absolutely beautiful, stainless octagon barrel, dark walnut stock, polished stainless receiver and butt plate. Smooth as butter and no problems whatsoever with several hundred rounds through it. I wouldn't hesitate.
I can tell ya this. Remington DOES NOT OWN Marlin. Remington has the duties of making Marlin rifles now. Marlin was bought out by Ceribus(Freedom Group) which is just an "Investment Firm", and moved ALL of Marlin's operations and machinery to Remington's plant in NY. My understanding is that NO MARLIN EMPLOYEEs went with this move. In a sense you could say Remington owns Marlin, as Marlin is under Remington's roof, but in reality they don't, and that's why you still find guns on a listed Marlin website. They are "in Name" only. Remington is keeping Marlin separate from their own operations, but using Remington Employees. You will find if you purchased a "NEW Marlin" after 2008(?), Remington will have (REP) on right side of barrel as opposed to Marlin's (JM) on left side of barrel, but still have Marlin boldly stamped on rifle, as if Marlin actually made gun. What's also happening, is a Lever Action is something new to Remington and it's Employees, and they just don't know how to operate antique and old Marlin machinery to build something this intricate and having a 2-piece stock that was previously made so precisely fitting, hense the ill fitting stock/forearm, bad functioning receiver to load/eject shell, cantered rifle sights, stocks cracking/splitting and prices that are much higher than before, whereas Marlin's dedicated Employees knew how to adjust these old tempermental machines and still put out a quality firearm that would shoot/function just as good, before the takeover, as they did over 100yrs ago. Marlin has had MANY new lever action returned and Remington just doesn't know how to repair them properly, and returning rifles to owner, still not functioning well. From what I understand also, is that ONLY the Lever Action models have stopped production, until problems are fixed or worked out. You can read all about Marlin's Takeover/Rants/Problems/Production and other pertinant info on Marlin Owners Website. Thank goodness I have older Marlins instead of the new stuff, as I'm sick that Remington is running such an Icon as Marlin's name into ground due to QC and repair FUBARs and only looking for quantity instead of quality. I hope I explained this well enough, as it's a long story pertaining to Marlin, and a lot of info is lost or twisted as time passes, but a lot of Marlin "big wigs" are on the MO website that have a lot of better info than I have or could explain as I don't know what happened behind closed doors. Only what's been told on Marlin Owners website.
The new XT rifles were slow to hit the streets and sporadic at best in the beginning. They're still somewhat scarce now. One or two in a few different models would show up at a store a not sit long. Some of the rimfire boards were monitoring these pretty close because a lot of people wanted the new adjustable trigger.
To be honest I think Marlin may have spread them selves thin with production. With new lever guns in the Marlin Express rounds, the Big Loop, and two Deluxe models, (336 & 1894) the new rimfires, and they seem to have added a few more calibers to the centerfire bolt action line. Then the $25 rebate on the 795 for the last two or three years, so they were turning those out in large quantities. Plus the Remington purchase and integration, all this in the past 3-4 years probably put a strain on everything. Haven't seen anything in the way of a shortage with the 336 in 30-30, and just a minor drop off with the Model 60/ 795. But these are some of their most popular rifles, and the $25 rebate on the 795 helped keep those flying off the shelves.
I'm also wondering how much slower things are since the integration into the Remington plant.
Axxe, you get points for using punctuation, but lose points for not capitalizing your first letter of each sentence. :D

text: RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTIHOUSTON (AP) â¿¿ Actress Daryl Hannah of "Splash" fame was arrested in northeast Texas on Thursday, along with a 78-year-old landowner as the pair protested an oil pipeline designed to bring crude from Canada to the Gulf Coast. "They've arrested Daryl Hannah and a rural Texas great-grandmother," said Paul Bassis, Hannah's manager. Hannah and landowner Eleanor Fairchild were standing in front of heavy equipment in an attempt to halt construction of the Keystone XL pipeline on Fairchild's farm in Winnsboro, a town about 100 miles east of Dallas. They were arrested for criminal trespassing and taken to the Wood County Jail, Bassis said. Hannah also faces a charge of resisting arrest, according to jail records. Hannah has long opposed TransCanada's construction of the $7 billion pipeline, which is designed to transport heavy tar-sands crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to Texas' Gulf Coast refineries. "It is unfortunate Ms. Hannah and other out-of-state activists have chosen to break the law by illegally trespassing on private property," David Dodson, a spokesman for TransCanada Corp., said in an email. He also said protesters were "putting their own safety and the safety of others at risk." Bassis said he spoke to the actress Thursday evening and that there was "a strong indication" that both women would be kept overnight at the local jail. "The streets of Winnsboro will be much safer tonight now that they've gotten that 78-year-old great grandmother off the streets," Bassis said. Hannah â¿¿ who has starred in dozens of movies, including "Kill Bill" and "Splash" â¿¿ also was arrested in August 2011 while protesting the pipeline in Washington. She was one of several hundred prominent scientists and activists arrested that month. They argue the pipeline would be unsafe because it would be carrying heavy, acidic crude oil that could more easily corrode a metal pipe, which would lead to a spill. They also say refining the oil would further contaminate the air in a region that has long struggled with pollution.

How Tech Startups Are Changing the Game for Senior Care
July 28, 2016 | Home and Family
By Lisa Wirthman
Taking care of an aging senior can be a challenging task. With the population of Americans who are 65 and older projected to increase to 86 million by 2050, it's a challenge more and more families will need to solve.
But a new wave of health startups is here to help with mobile apps and online services designed to make it easier for families to care for their loved ones. Whether it's finding a trustworthy caregiver, locating a doctor who makes house calls or getting prescriptions delivered, these startups have the answers.
Providing Accountable Caregiving
Kyle Hill, CEO of HomeHero, has firsthand experience with the challenges of finding quality senior care. In 2011, he watched his parents in Ohio struggle to find caregivers who were both accountable and trustworthy for his grandmother in Seattle. Eventually his father, a professor at Ohio State University, felt he had no other choice but to take a semester-long sabbatical to handle the issue in person.
A tech entrepreneur, Hill helped his father by creating a mobile app that increased accountability by enabling his grandmother's caregivers to clock in and out of shifts and leave voice recordings about how the day went.
"Little did I know that I was building the early stages of what I do now at HomeHero," he said.
Hill launched his company in 2013 to help families like his find and manage reliable in-home care for seniors through an online marketplace. Families can watch video interviews with pre-screened caregivers and send job requests. Caregivers can receive and respond to job offers on a mobile app that also logs their caregiving hours and their locations when they are on the clock. The app further provides task and medication reminders and enables caregivers to send audio recordings to family members.
HomeHero aims to stand out from other online caregiving sites by leveraging technology to provide trusted and affordable caregiving in addition to convenience.
"The key difference for us was going to be quality of care," said Hill.
A Match Made by Algorithm
In addition to performing background and reference checks, the startup created a 15-point algorithm to match seniors with caregivers based on metrics like punctuality, years of experience and levels of certification.
"That's really where we started to pull away from the pack," he said, "being able to qualify the rankings of all these caregivers."
HomeHero also provides 24-hour customer service by phone with live representatives, backup caregivers in case of emergencies and a comprehensive insurance policy to protect clients with $4 million in aggregate coverage for the company.
The startup offers set pricing on its website with rates charged to customers of about $22 an hour for caregiving. A HomeHero survey of care agencies in California found that about half did not disclose pricing over the phone.
"It is very frustrating when you're trying to compare options and the agencies are withholding the price, so we felt we had to be transparent around that," said Hill.
Because the company uses technology to lower the overhead costs of running an agency, HomeHero is also able to pay higher salaries than other agencies—from $17 to $18 an hour—in order to attract high-quality caregivers, he added. In contrast, many caregivers receive California's minimum wage of $9 an hour (rising to $10 an hour in 2016), said Hill.
Over the past two years, the company has provided more than 1 million hours of home care and placed over 1,500 caregivers across four cities in California. The company plans to expand to Texas, Arizona and Florida soon and eventually operate nationwide.
Easing the Burden of Care
Beyond caregiving, other startups help families get care by delivering doctors right to your doorstep. Heal is a mobile app that sends a background-checked, licensed physician directly to your home for a flat-rate fee of $99. The service is available in Los Angeles and San Francisco and plans to expand to 15 major cities this year.
"Heal is about the old-fashioned house call," said Dr. Renee Dua, a co-founder and chief medical officer of Heal, in a company blog. "It's great to see that the future of technology enables us to get back to our roots."
Supplementing that house call is PillPack, a startup launched in 2014 that organizes all prescription medications and delivers a shipment to your doorstep every two weeks. The pills arrive in single-dose packages printed with the date and time to take the medicine. The online pharmacy also provides automatic refills of your medications, and an app gives reminders of when to take them.
To protect elderly consumers from fraud and identify theft, True Link offers online tools that monitor their financial accounts for suspicious spending and provide alerts to family members. Seniors can also be issued a Visa card customized with financial safeguards such as preventing over-the-phone spending, blocking specific merchants or limiting ATM withdrawals.
By creating more transparent, affordable and accessible senior care, these tech startups are helping to ease the caregiving burden on families like Hill's—whose parents still use the technologies he created—so they can focus on what's most important.
"My dad has freed up a lot of his time to be a son again," said Hill. And that may be the best perk of all.

I appreciate integrity, empathy and absurdity. I enjoy my life and I am looking for an amazing and special someone to share it with.
I'm a recovering audiophile who just can't help but to stand too close to the speakers at live shows.
I always try to follow my instincts; they keep me clear of unnecessary drama, compromising situations, and getting mugged by raccoons in dark alleys.
I have a great bunch of friends, who are always there for me. I try my best in life to be someone worthy of them.
I often still call people 'sir', 'ma'am' and 'miss' and wonder why people can't be more polite and kind, sometimes.
When entering an establishment with double doors, picking the the one that is locked.
I listen to all genres of music (yes even some country…) some of my favorites: Lucero (naturally), Wilco, U2, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Radiohead, Cheap Trick, Miles Davis (especially Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew and his work with Gil Evans: Sketches of Spain) Marvin Gaye, Otis redding, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, State Radio, Dave Brubeck, Hendrix (especially with Band of Gypsys), T-Rex, Wild Flag, The Band, Common, Tom Petty, Glossary, and so much more.
Movies: I am developing a keen appreciation of horror thanks to the guidance of my Uncle. Especially the Hammer films from the 50's (nothing beats Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as Dracula and Van Helsing. I will also watch (and enjoy) the music documentary of your favorite band.
my iPhone (yes, I know so materialistic)
and a little luck now and then never hurts.
You are open to new experiences, love New York City but also wouldn't balk at the idea of getting out now and again (be it camping, a music festival, a ball game or just a road trip to anywhere.)
You laugh and smile often and easily.
You can be found rocking out at a concert, even if it's a quiet sort of rocking. You will gleefully drag me to experience that band I should have heard of by now.
If you think this describes you or you are just really awesome and sweet, we should totally get in touch!

It is understandable why employers often avoid having difficult conversations with their employees – it can be an awkward, emotionally draining and time consuming experience.
Hunt & Hunt
Download PDF
However, avoiding those conversations can not only have a negative impact on workforce morale and productivity and increase the potential for legal claims to be brought by employees, but also reduce an employer's ability to successfully defend any legal claims.
An employer may need to have a difficult conversation with an employee in many situations, which may include when:
Avoiding, or constantly postponing, difficult conversations with employees in these types of situations can entrench undesirable behaviours or work habits, increase absenteeism and staff turnover, and lower employee morale, which all hinder an organisation's productivity.
Raising workplace issues, and discussing them early and appropriately with employees, can assist with preventing or defending the following types of legal claims.
Unfair dismissal claims
Adverse action (or general protections) claims
Anti-bullying claims
Although it is important to avoid the potential adverse results of legal claims, it is also critical in minimising the distraction, potential reputational harm, and costs associated with defending them.
To ensure that difficult conversations are not avoided, employers should take steps to make sure that managers and supervisors:

Set an alert for September 16 (that's tomorrow) if you want the new Moto X or another shot at a Moto 360.
Motorola's new flagship phone, which we think is one of the best Android phones around, will be available for preorder on Tuesday along with "limited quantities" of the company's smartwatch.
The AT&T version of the Moto 360 in 16GB and 32GB variants will cost $99 and $149 with a two-year contract. Motorola is also offering an unlocked "pure" edition that won't carry any of the obligatory carrier bloatware for $499.
Anyone with a .edu address can score that version for $450 with a promo code by filling out the requisite online form.
The Moto X features a 5.2-inch AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB of RAM. You can customize it through Moto Maker, which has 25 different backs (17 colors, 4 real wood grains, and 4 styles of leather), 10 accent colors, and optional engraving. The front color options remain the same as the original: black or white.
Motorola is offering other new hardware for sale on Tuesday. The Turbo Charger, which promises to give your Moto X a substantial charge in 15 minutes, costs $35. The Hint, a wireless earbud that allows you to control the phone hands-free, is $150.
The Moto 360 sold out in hours last week, so best to head to the site and check back often if you are looking to score one directly from Motorola.
This story, "Moto X preorders begin September 16" was originally published by Greenbot.

It was February 12, 2011; the IZOD center in New Jersey erupted when Gian Villante took his long stroll to the cage. It was almost impossible to ignore how many "out-of-towners" were there in support of their local hero. Gian Villante graduated Levittown High School in 2004 with an impressive wrestling pedigree and went on to compete in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts earning a professional record of seven wins with two losses.
The many spectators took the LIRR to Penn and then "cabbed it" to New Jersey. While passing right underneath Madison Square Garden, it was hard to ignore how much New Yorkers and Nassau residents alike would benefit from watching a Mixed Martial Arts event in their home state.
MMA has been widely demonized as being human cockfighting. Many of those opposed to it neglect to accept that MMA has become drastically regulated, and packed with rules that protect the participants. It is recognized by 40 state athletic commissions and is broadcasted in 130 countries. So what effect would the legalization of MMA in New York have on Nassau County?
Well, it is hard to miss the abundant amount of Martial Arts Schools peppered throughout Nassau. There are the notorious Serra Brothers with schools in both East Meadow and Huntington, Gracie Barra in New Hyde Park and Commack, and Soca Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Bellmore, to name a few. Each of these local schools has produced Mixed Martial Arts Champions. Thus, the legalization of MMA in New York would undoubtedly increase the revenue these schools generate and pave the way for many more local champions.
The last hope for the passage of a bill that would legalize MMA was made by Governor Patterson. His proposal indicated that legalizing MMA would generate $2.1 million for the state. Unfortunately, the bill did not pass, and the 2011 Budget plan by Governor Cuomo neglected to include a similar proposal. The Mix Martial Arts fans of the community look forward to watching an event in Nassau Coliseum even despite its dismal fate. The benefit to the community both economically and in municipal spirit greatly outweighs the negatives, if any.

There was a lot of treat with the trick for ABC Family last night. The cable channel hit its best Tuesday ever among adults 18-34 (1.8 rating) and W18-34 (31 rating) and W18-49 (2.0 rating) with the third Pretty Little Liars Halloween special and the debut of spinoff Ravenswood. In fact, even before the debut, ABC Family already was showing confidence in the series with the order of 3 more Ravenswood scripts to the 6 it already has. Coming off a PLL marathon Tuesday, the 8 PM special was not only up 14% to 3.18 million total viewers from last year's 2.8 million and up 25% among adults 18-34 but, with a 1.4 rating, also had the second biggest draw of the night on cable after FX's Sons Of Anarchy. Tuesday's PLL special was also the second best telecast among adults 18-34 that ABC Family has ever had after the series' March 19, 2012 show and the No. 3 best result it has ever had among the 18-49s behind that PLL Season 2B finale and the series' January 3, 2011 show. While it dropped off from its lead-in to 2.1 million viewers, newbie Ravenswood debuted at 9:02 PM Tuesday to emerge as ABC Family's best debut of the year and the channel's top debut result among W18-34 with a 2.3 rating. Pretty Little Liars returns for the second half of Season 4 on January 7.
'Pretty Little Liars' Halloween Special Up To Give 'Ravenswood' Strong Debut

I love PLL. I am glad it rated well. Ravenswood looks like a good show too. I hope it is able to rate well without PLL leading it in.
Personally I cannot stand the idea of being pitched a show from inside another show. It's just tacky and cheap. I know the books are kinda wrote in sync, but that doesn't matter as far as killing all realism the show previously had. That being said I find the show to be completely unbelievable to begin with. Every episode of pll seems to introduce a new extremity derived from motives that range from weak to completely asinine.
Technically I only half watch it. My gf is addicted and for the life of me I can't fig out why. Especially when they have strayed from the books with pll (or so she tells me), and are literally attempting brainwash with this ravenswood intro. I mean seriously the ravenswood trailer has been playing relentlessly for over a month now.
In the end she watches both shows, I inadvertently watch both shows.. and there is no-one to feel my pain :-/
There are a lot people who work at ABC Family who would almost never watch ABC Family. These people do a good job, and they will give props to a show when it's surprisingly tolerable. But they feel your pain. They do it for money. You do it for love.
I don't understand how we will ever know this now?
My bottom line point is that pitching a show from inside another show in a brainwash like fashion is a terribly tacky, lazy, means of marketing. Secondary nonchalant point would be pll has a very weak story line and it literally blows my mind that it's so popular among adults. I guess some people just can't get enough of high school, all the way into their 30s. Pure high school drama.
I love poll it is awesome. I lovvvveee ravens wood it is awesome can't wait to see what happens next. I love that Caleb is the main character I always thought he should have had his own show. Who doesn't want to see more of Tyler he's hotttt.
I mean you all are cool it is really good show

Books: At the risk of sounding ignorant, books blow. They are time consuming and take up space. I have read many books but I prefer to get my reading intake quickly and to the point online or magazines.
Movies: Not a big movie fan but I'm willing to watch with the right person.
Music: Rock and pop mostly, even some rap but in moderation. Love classic rock and older music too. Pretty much anything; depends on my mood.
Food: Literally anything but coconut and durian (if you know what this is though you are definitely my type)
