Marilyn Manson was playing a show in Pittsburgh last night and broke his ankle while playing "The Beautiful People" towards the end of his set, according to Loudwire.com.
He gets offstage to be closer to the crowd in the front of the stage and then you hear a loud thud through the speakers. Then, he crawls back on stage, clearly in pain, and says, "I just broke my ankle".
I don't think this is bad news for his show at Express Live on October 8th because he finishes out the rest of the song with his opening act, Alice Glass.

And proving she has already snapped back from her pregnancy, Beyonce looked simply sensational as she joined her husband Jay Z at Rihanna's annual Diamond Ball in New York City on Thursday evening.
The Crazy In Love singer, 36, oozed body confidence as she slipped into a sultry teal gown, yet fell victim to a slight wardrobe mishap as she struggled to manage her frock's VERY daring thigh-high split.
Showcasing her enviably curvaceous frame, Beyonce dazzled at the high-profile bash in the stunning silk number that featured embellished cuffs at the sleeve.
The glamorous frock boasted a sultry yet risque split to one side, that stretched all the way to the top of her thigh and left her legs firmly on display as she strolled hand-in-hand with her beau into the party.
Although, the revealing nature of her slinky number revealed a little too much as the star appeared to be sporting black lacy under garments, cleverly designed just for one leg given the split of her dress on one side.

|NUMBER 1769.—April 28, 2010
Aesthetic Realism was founded by Eli Siegel in 1941
Dear Unknown Friends:
We publish here the first half of The Necessity of Aesthetics. This 1947 lecture by Eli Siegel is one in a series he gave at Steinway Hall, early in the history of Aesthetic Realism. Here too is part of a paper by Aesthetic Realism associate Steven Weiner, from a public seminar presented this month on the subject How Much Should Other People Mean to Us?
We do not have complete transcripts of the Steinway Hall talks. As with the others, what we publish of The Necessity of Aesthetics is based on notes taken at the time. Yet through them we see Mr. Siegel illustrating with grace and clarity the central principle of Aesthetic Realism: All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves. We see him describing what the human self truly is. And he describes what in us interferes with our own minds and happiness.
That interfering thing is contempt: the lessening of whats not oneself as a means of false importance or glory. Our contempt takes the biggest opposites in our lives, our self and the outside world, and severs them. It is, then, completely unaesthetic—counter to what makes for art. In his teaching and writing, Mr. Siegel showed with rich documentation that contempt is the cause within a person of anxiety, nervousness, the multifarious and debilitating difficulties of mind and feeling.
For example, at the end of the lectures first half, he refers to insomnia—the cause of which he spoke of in an earlier talk. So as a means of placing what Mr. Siegel says here, Ill describe swiftly the Aesthetic Realism explanation of sleeplessness. Its an explanation Ive seen to be exact, greatly practical, and thrillingly beautiful.
Why People Cant Sleep
Millions of people, going to bed at night, feel, with various degrees of consciousness, Now at last I can get rid of the world that gave me so much trouble during the day. As I enter my bed, I subtly yet comprehensively sneer at the people and events I had to give my attention to, which are really so unworthy of me. As I go under the covers and close my eyes, I kick them all out. Finally I have just me: Im in worthy company at last.
Sleep is a wonderful thing. Its purpose is to enable us to be in a good, authentic, friendly, accurate, even joyful relation to the world. The purpose of our very lives is to be ourselves through being fair to whats not us. And so we punish ourselves—unknowingly yet definitely, even fiercely—for having contempt for the world. An instance of that punishment is insomnia: we may literally not permit ourselves to rest if weve been trying to rest by dismissing reality.
A Disaster in West Virginia
ll comment now on something that is so different from a persons inability to sleep. Yet it too involves— in an immensely ugly and a deadly way—that rift between the elevating of self and what the outside world deserves. It is the massive explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia on April 5. Because of that explosion—and because of what made for it—29 miners are now dead.
Its clear that what is being called the worst US mining disaster in 40 years was a result of contempt: the contempt that is fundamental in profit economics. Contempt in an individual person hurts that persons mind, makes him or her feel agitated, unsure, empty. But contempt is also the cause of every injustice. That includes the injustice which is the profit motive: the seeing of people, like those who were extinguished under the West Virginia earth, in terms of how much money you can get from them.
The Massey Energy Company is the owner of the mine. And according to the New York Times (April 9), the company has a history of serious and significant safety violations. Further:
Newly released federal inspection records show that the mine had recently been given warnings for accumulation of flammable coal dust and ventilation problems.
Since the start of 2009, the records show, the mine had at least 50 notices of problems that Massey knew existed but failed to correct. At least four of those concerned violations of a rule that requires the mine operator to follow an approved ventilation plan.
The company failed to correct those problems for only one reason: it would have had to spend money to do so. Every cent a company spends on behalf of workers safety is a cent that cant go into the pockets of the stockholders. In the April 11th New York Times a miner is quoted commenting on why owners ignore safety laws: If you take 30 minutes out of the day doing it right, that takes a lot out of the tonnage of the mine. The profit system, then, is based on and encourages the feeling that oneself will be less if one sees another person as real. The profit system encourages the desire to let people work in conditions that could sicken them and kill them, because that way oneself will have more money.
The relation between how a self sees itself and how it sees the outside world is central to aesthetics, and its also the very basis of ethics. In American history and now, there have been two big curbs on the horrible unethics of profit economics. One is government regulations. They have forced companies to be a little fairer to the people who work for them: government regulations have mandated certain measures so that peoples hands dont get cut off in machinery—or so that gases wont accumulate and explode, sending people to horrific untimely deaths.
Owners have resented such regulations and also, as with the Massey Company, have found means to evade them. The Times notes that Don Blankenship, Masseys chief executive,...a major Republican fund-raiser,... has been a staunch critic of increased regulation of the mining industry (April 9). Further, former regulators, inspectors and miners say that the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration was lax in enforcing the safety laws—in part, because of the [mining] industrys political clout (NY Times, April 11).
The Necessity for Unions
The other curb on the profit systems unaesthetic, unethical way of dealing with humanity has been unions. (To a large degree its because of unions that those government regulations exist.) Unions, composed of the people who do the work, and representing those people, have forced owners to pay employees much more than the owners would like—so that workers could live with some dignity.
The very basis of the profit motive is to pay a person as little as possible so you can get as much profit from him or her as possible. And the history of industry shows that owners left to themselves have paid workers in a way that made for agonizing poverty. Unions changed that; and also insisted, to the owners intense opposition and chagrin, that safety measures be instituted. The United Mine Workers of America is eminent in the history of unions. American men and women in West Virginia and elsewhere fought hard and long and bravely, even gave their lives, so that mines could be unionized—so miners would not be impoverished and hungry; so there would be measures preventing mine collapses and explosions, and measures lessening the extent to which miners took into their lungs the coal dust that had sickened and killed so many.
The Upper Big Branch mine, where the deadly explosion occurred, was a non-union mine. And that disaster in itself should be enough to have America see how needed and deeply beautiful unions are.
Why Our Economy Is Ailing
Aesthetic Realism explains that a self unjust to the world cannot fare well, cannot be at ease, because were constructed aesthetically: designed to be ourselves through being fair to whats other than us. That is true about an individual self, and it is also true about an economic system. Insomnia comes because we dont like ourselves for dismissing the world. And the state of economics today is like a person whose very being is ill-at-ease and inefficient.
Eli Siegel, in 1970, showed that profit economics had reached the point at which it no longer could work successfully. The reason took in all of human history, but the essential cause was the bad ethics at the profit systems basis. He gave many particulars in his Goodbye Profit System lectures of the 1970s and in this periodical, and I have given many in recent years.
So we have the first half of an early Aesthetic Realism presentation. And we have men and women today, trying to understand themselves; and we have anguish in West Virginia. The title of Mr. Siegels talk is true—urgently true—for America now: The Necessity of Aesthetics. What he explains in that lecture is what the American people are most hoping to learn.
—Ellen Reiss, Chairman of Aesthetic Realism
The Necessity of Aesthetics
When we think of persons who are troubled, we think of the word conflict. What is this conflict about? How is it going to change into something else? And what is it going to change into? Aesthetic Realism says psychiatrists and others havent seen as deeply as they might what this conflict is about. This conflict can be described as a situation which, if it were changed to something happier, would be aesthetic.
To make this clearer—take Arthur Millers All My Sons, which the Drama Critics have just decided was the best play of the year. If it is a good play, it is aesthetic. It has Arthur Miller in it, and it has meaning for all people: it has personality and universality. That is what is in adjustment, which psychiatrists and social workers talk about. To be adjusted is to be a single personality at home in the universe. Whenever you have personality and universality at once, you have aesthetics. Aesthetics means a oneness of a unique person and the outside world, without any diminishing of either. It means a heightening of the personality through the outside world, and a heightening of the outside world through the personality. Aesthetics is not just watercolors of dandelions.
In previous lectures, I thought it fitting to say that psychoanalysis, with all its many deviations, has made for a hurtful rift in making a self seem necessarily at war with a society which is not itself. Adjustment in most cases is a kind of resigned cowering, a saying, Now I must be good. But suppose when the self behaves itself it is, as Freud described, unconsciously irked. It becomes a repressed delinquent. The only way to avoid this is to have a person feel he is really more himself as he is fair to the outside world.
Freedom & Accuracy
Aesthetic Realism says the self is its own restrainer, and along with a desire for gratification it has another desire, not against gratification: for accuracy.
Freedom is the ability to do what you want, without unnecessary impediments arising from yourself. How can you do what you want with a bicycle if you dont know what the bicycle is? How can you know what you want unless you give your mind accurately to the object of what you want? So freedom is accuracy. A person who doesnt know cant be free, and you cant know unless youre accurate. This is just plain talk, not logical card tricks.
We see in Charlie Chaplin a carefreeness with precision. That is present in every instance of aesthetics: everything thats beautiful has a combination of accuracy and freedom. In music, we hear the notes as accurate. We feel, too, that they are not hidebound—they are also free. If there is a simultaneous presence of freedom and accuracy, one can say opposites have been made one.
To use a simpler idea: suppose we saw a seagull circling around a tugboat, behaving as a well-adjusted seagull should. It isnt the highest kind of beauty, but wherever there are freedom and accuracy at the same time, there is beauty.
The Pain of Bad Aesthetics
It can be said that whenever things in conflict are not seen as they are in art, the conflict wont be solved.
Let us take a common conflict, most often unconscious. A person thinks he can be most truly himself by getting away from other things. He thinks the only way to have his personality is to mute all the things the outside world does to him. He finds himself not listening to people. Hes nice to his children, but feels far away from them. He gets more and more to like sleeping and taking naps. What has happened to this man? Why does he sometimes wake up in the night and feel frightened?
Whats been happening is an unaesthetic situation. He finds in himself a certain perfection he cant find in the outside world. Hes come to think the outside world is a great interference. He knows, in his way, he is wrong; so he sometimes has insomnia. Insomnia comes from and is bad aesthetics. It is awareness of the conflict only through the pain. I have known people who had insomnia, and when they could feel, when they went to sleep, that they were just as much related to 7th Avenue as in the daytime, the insomnia got better.
How Much Should People Mean to Us?
People, said Eli Siegel in a lecture, are simply reality when most complete; reality when aware of itself. The importance of people is that they are reality in the richest form (TRO 606). That is why to hope people mean as much to us as they rightly can is an essential part of our deepest desire: to like the world, value it truly. But there is that in us which wants to dislike people, see them as not having much meaning, so that we can feel superior, lofty, intact—disdainful of everything.
This Is How I Saw People
There is nothing more ordinary and nothing uglier, writes Ellen Reiss,
than not wanting to see the true meaning of a thing, but instead denying or supplying meaning to suit oneself. You give good meaning to...persons because they enhance your comfort or self-importance, because they belong to you or flatter you; and you attribute bad meaning to them because they dont let you have your way or dont praise or devote themselves to you. [TRO 1046]
That describes what I did as a boy. For example, my mother praised me a lot, and it was pretty easy to get my twin brother, Paul, to do my bidding. Therefore, they were good. My father was much more critical of me, and not for a moment was my older brother, Fred, going to let me order him around. So they had bad meaning, and I punished them. I was cold to my father and made fun of Fred.
Meanwhile, I liked to read, and there were characters in novels who meant a lot to me. There was Oliver Twist, a poor, hungry boy in London; and Johnny Tremain, a brave youth growing up during the Revolutionary War. I was also very moved by Hamlets famous speech in which he describes a human being as how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving, how express and admirable!
But I made the mistake of using characters in books to lessen the meaning of flesh and blood people I knew—including my two brothers. After all, I thought, what were they passionate about—sports?! Once in a class, Mr. Siegel said with critical humor that some people think they have a monopoly on culture, and asked if I was one of them. I was. So you can imagine my shock when I heard my brother Paul speak with much feeling about his care for Michelangelos Pietà.
I made no association between my disdain for my fellow human beings and the fact that, by the age of 18, I had a pretty constant feeling of emptiness, thinking that people and the world itself came to very little. I didnt know that I was having the miserable victory of contempt, and that this was the chief reason I felt my own life had so little meaning.
I Changed about People!
We see and feel meaning, writes Ellen Reiss,
...when we honestly see that a distinct thing or person is related to other things, to the whole world. People will at last find real, proud meaning in a relative when they see him not just as a brother, but as related to the world itself in all its width, unknownness, and humanity. [TRO 1037]
That is how Aesthetic Realism encouraged me to think about people.
For instance, I came to see Sam and Lillian Weiner not just as my parents, whose existence centered around me, but as two persons in their own right, who had to do with so much, including so many events, people, places, books, sights, sounds. I thought about the fact that they had lived through much of the 20th century, and had been affected, in ways that were deep and large, by the Depression, by World War II, by the civil rights struggle; that they had their own worries and hopes, as real as mine. As I saw them this way, they—and all people—came to mean so much more to me.
Aesthetic Realism is based on these
principles, stated by Eli Siegel:
1. The deepest desire of every person is to like the world on an honest or accurate basis.
2. The greatest danger for a person is to have contempt for the world and what is in it .... Contempt can be defined as the lessening of what is different from oneself as a means of self-increase as one sees it.
3. All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.

Stefan is at the Salvatore Boarding House on a phone call with Klaus who is discussing the pros and cons of visiting Portland, Oregon. Stefan, showing a total lack of emotion, tells him that his father is dead. Klaus is shocked and asks for clarification so Stefan tells him that Mikael has been daggered. He wants to know what he should do with the body but first Klaus wants to know exactly what happened.
FLASHBACK! Well, kind of. One hour earlier- The gang are at the Salvatore House to discuss the story they'll tell Klaus: Mikael grabbed Elena to use as bait so the Salvatore boys vervained him. During that time they discovered that Mikael had a dagger he planned to use on Rebekah but they used it on Mikael first. Elena asks them what happens when Klaus asks to see Mikael's body. Stefan can't lie to him thanks to the compulsion so Mikael agrees to be daggered in real life. He knows that news of his death will lure Klaus back to Mystic Falls and he will finally be able to kill him. Stefan questions how he intends to do that seeing as daggers don't work. Mikael tells them that he has a stake carved from the ancient white oak tree hidden away. Mikael hands a dagger to Elena and tells her that she must be the one to use it. She seems nervous but a vampire can't dagger an Original without dying.
Present- As predicted, Klaus tells Stefan that he wants to see Mikael's "rotting body" himself. Stefan tells him to come on by and check it out. Klaus reminds him that he has been compelled and asks point blank if he is telling the truth.
One hour earlier- Elena drives the dagger through Mikael's heart while Stefan looks on.
Present- Stefan tells Klaus that he saw the daggering with his own eyes. Klaus asks to speak to Rebekah so Stefan hands the phone over. She tells him that Mikael was "killed" and that she misses him. Stop makes me feel the feels. He tells her that he'll be home soon and they hang up. Rebekah tells the group that Klaus bought their story and Elena pulls the dagger out of Mikael.
Rebekah paints her toes and watches over Mikael who is still unconscious on the floor. He starts to move around and gets up, coughing. Rebekah stops any touching father-daughter reunion so Mikael asks for his dagger. She tells him that Elena has it and warns him against trying to use it on her. He tells her that he was never after her and she argues that Klaus is her family so by being after Klaus, he was after her. I sucked at proofs in geometry but even I can see the flaw in her logic. Mikael is understandably defensive, seeing as how Klaus RIPPED HIS WIFE'S HEART OUT OF HER CHEST. Rebekah tells him that Klaus will pay for killing Esther with his life. Then she blames Mikael for turning the family into vampires and thereby murderers. She accuses him of destroying the family before storming off.
Elena stands in front of her closet looking at her gorgeous wardrobe, bitching about not having anything to wear for Homecoming. Seriously, have you seen this girl's clothes? Bonnie, sitting on the bed looking at photos of cave drawings, suggests they skip the dance and order takeout. Elena reminds her that Caroline would kill them if they didn't attend and Bonnie makes a crack about Caroline having a date. Elena gets super serious telling Bonnie she can talk to her about Jeremy. Um, or not. Bonnie is pretty cold and clinical about the whole Jeremy falling in love with his ghost girlfriend thing. She points out that Elena can't get mad at Jer like she's mad at him. For once she makes sense.
Elena is with Damon in his bedroom preparing weapons while telling him that she doesn't think Rebekah can be trusted. She doesn't think Beks will be able to turn her back on her brother even if he killed their mother. Damon tells her that he has made a super secret backup plan but refuses to share it. Stefan ruins the moment by entering the room and asking to borrow a tie. He makes a crack about Elena having bad luck before sauntering off. Elena picks up a wolfsbane grenade but Damon slaps her hand and takes it away from her. He's concerned about her getting hurt. Sweet and obnoxious. I could never date a guy who slapped my hand away from weapons. Stefan reenters the room and is annoying. He is kind of a super douche, talking about how their plans are always ruined by someone's humanity. Good thing he is totally missing his.
Caroline and Tyler are at the high school painting the old VW bus in the stoner den. Tyler wants to ditch out and tap a live vein but Care comes down firmly against it, especially when she hears that Tyler has been chatting with Rebekah. When Ty tells her that Rebekah is taking Matt to the Homecoming dance she kind of loses her shit. She starts ranting about Matt being a good person and Beks being an "evil blood slut". Tyler doesn't win any points when he points out that Matt is a guy and Rebekah is hot. He does make a great crack about being sired to Caroline when she accuse his sire bond of having a family extension.
Rebekah is in Stefan's room getting ready for the dance at an embarrassingly early hour. Elena joins her and they have girl talk about it being Rebekah's first high school dance. Beks asks if the plan to kill Klaus is all set then instructs Elena not to tell her anything about it. Elena thanks her for helping to get Klaus back in town. Rebekah warns her that nobody in her family can be trusted, including Mikael. She gets teary and begins talking about how she never thought she' d be included in a plan to kill Klaus. She turns her back on Elena to admire herself in the mirror. Elena takes Esther's hideous necklace and puts it around her neck. Rebekah thanks her and Elena responds by shoving a dagger through her back and into her heart. She apologizes as Rebekah dies, telling her that she can't leave anything to chance.
Elena sits on Stefan's bed while Damon covers Rebekah's body with a blanket and comments on what a Katherine-esque move it was to dagger her in the back. Not exactly a compliment bro. Elena is worried that Stefan was right about someone's humanity getting in the way and fears it will be her; she just cares too damn much. She asks Damon if he trusts Mikael and Stefan, and of course he doesn't. She tells him that they need another plan which he already has in place. He thinks she'll be angry because he doesn't want her participating, instead telling her to trust him.
The fire brigade is at the high school, water pouring out from the building. Tyler tells Caroline that the gym is flooded so the dance will have to be cancelled. To say Caroline is upset is an understatement.
Elena is still at the Salvatore House when she gets a call from Caroline to tell her the Homecoming dance has morphed into a party at Tyler's. Elena agrees to attend before hanging up. There is a knock at the door and Elena opens the door to find Matt. He is there is pick up his date who is currently daggered on the floor of Stefan's bedroom. Elena asks how he would feel about attending with a backup date.
My Morning Jacket is playing on an elaborate stage in the backyard of the Lockwood Mansion. How did Tyler swing that one last minute? Caroline and Bonnie join the party and are equally mystified. Care comments on the situation being weird before leaving to find Ty. Does anyone else think he might have had something to do with the flooded gym?
Stefan is fortunate enough to run into Tyler who confirms what everyone is thinking: he's throwing the party per Klaus's request. Also, it's not a party but a wake. Pretty morbid. They look on as Klaus take the stage to thank everyone for coming to celebrate with him.
Elena and Matt arrive at the dance and are immediately spotted by Caroline who comes over to tell them Klaus is there. Elena tells her she isn't surprised by anything Klaus does and leaves to find Bonnie. Caroline immediately begins questioning why Matt is there with Elena instead of Rebekah but Matt doesn't really answer instead leaving to grab a drink.
Elena watches as Klaus and Stefan walk around the party, having a chat. Klaus tells him that he plans to reunite his family now that Mikael is gone. He pauses briefly to ask where Rebekah is (Stefan doesn't know) before demanding Stefan bring Mikael's body to him. Stefan wonders what's in it for him so Klaus promises to give Stef his freedom once Mikael is dead and his weapon is destroyed.
Damon is home enjoying a glass of blood when Mikael enters the room, inquiring if Rebekah has left for the dance. Damon lies through his teeth before asking to see the white oak stake. Mikael obliges but refuses to let Damon hold it. Damon cracks a joke about offering him a drink which leads to Mikael explaining that he only drinks from vampires. Ugh. Stefan interrupts the conversation to tell them Klaus wants Mikael brought to him. He checks and double checks that Damon has a plan, which he does. And it apparently involves Mikael feeding on Stefan until he passes out. Classy plan.
Tyler and Klaus have a heart to heart about the party guests. Klaus tells him that he has hybrids planted throughout the house to make sure Elena and company don't try any funny business. He encourages Ty to warn his friends.
Tyler leads Caroline to his bedroom to verify that nothing hinkey is going down. She tells him that she doesn't know anything but if she did she wouldn't tell him on account of his being sired and therefore untrustworthy. She tries to return to the party but Tyler sticks her with a syringe and pumps her full of vervain until she is unconscious. Some Homecoming.
Klaus approaches Elena and offers her a drink but she isn't up for small talk. He tells her that he's impressed she daggered Mikael and she is vaguely threatening, reminding him that it wasn't her first time sticking an Original. He warns her against planning any sort of attack on him, telling her that he is always one step ahead.
Damon walks up to the front door and is stopped by a hybrid who tells him the party is invite only. So Damon rips his heart out. My hero.
Matt has joined Tyler in room where Caroline is still knocked out. Ty begs him to get her out of the house before whatever plan against Klaus kicks into gear. He knows that he has to protect Klaus due to the sire bond but also wants to ensure her safety. It's kind of sweet?
Tyler runs into Damon on his way downstairs and is shoved into an empty room. Damon attacks him and they start to fight. Bonnie enters and breaks it up, using her witch migraine spell to incapacitate both of them. Damon picks up the white oak stake that has fallen out of his jacket and returns it to it's hiding place. Bonnie wonders aloud why he has it and he tells her he is the only one who can get inside of the house.
Klaus is playing beer pong when one of the hybrids approaches and tells him Mikael is there. He heads for the front door where his father is waiting outside. They both attempt to prove they have the bigger dick (metaphorically) by taunting each other. Klaus threatens to have the hybrids tear him apart but Mikael reminds him that he can compel them. Bonus points to Mikael for the big bad wolf reference. A female hybrid brings Elena to Mikael who threatens to kill her if Klaus doesn't come outside. Klaus calls his bluff while Elena begs for her life. It's all super intense and angsty. Finally Mikael tells Klaus his impulse is what keeps him from being great and then stabs Elena with a dagger. HOLY SHIT.
Damon sneaks up behind Klaus and twists him around, driving the white oak stake into his stomach. Elena gets up from the ground and Mikael calls her Katherine. IT WAS REALLY KATHERINE! In an act of supreme badassery, she uses two wolfsbane grenades to take out the hybrids at the door. It's truly excellent.
Damon is about to stake Klaus in the heart when Stefan rushes in, knocking him off of Klaus and pinning him to the ground. Damon is just as confused as the rest of us. Klaus takes the stake and rams it into Mikael's heart, causing him to burst into flames and die. WTF? I thought Mikael was supposed to be a killer vampire hunter. How did he die so easily?? Klaus releases Stefan of his compulsion, telling him that he is free. Stefan looks for Damon but he has fled the scene.
Caroline wakes up in her bed where Tyler has been waiting for her. He apologizes for vervaining her, saying it was to save her from her own stubbornness. She questions how she can be with him when he's sired to Klaus, prompting him to have a mini-rant about needing her to understand him. He believes that Klaus can't be killed and the sire bond can't be broken so he needs Caroline to accept the person he is now. He begs her not to turn her back on him but the outlook is pretty grim.
Damon is with Elena at the Salvatore Boarding House, giving her a play by play of the evening. He's upset that they thought of every possible outcome except Stefan flaking on them. He wastes a perfectly good bottle of scotch by throwing it into the fireplace. Dramatic, yes, but also stupid. Elena grabs his face and tells him they will survive. He doesn't think they will ever get Stefan back so she tells him that they will let Stefan go. It's kind of a touching moment.
A moment that is ruined by Katherine calling. She is going back on the run now that the Klaus plan failed. She does seem genuinely sorry that Klaus is still alive but I'm assuming that's more out of self-preservation than anything else. They say their goodbyes and hang up. Katherine starts talking to someone in a car about how Damon doesn't know where his plan failed. And that person is Stefan! He tells her that Damon doesn't need to know so she stop the car all dramatically. She asks if he is good to get out of the car.
FLASHBACK! Stefan is on the floor after being incapacitated by Mikael's attack. Katherine enters the house and finds him, offering him a blood bag.
FLASHBACK! Katherine is at the party talking to Klaus who thinks she is Elena (please see nervous GIF above). Their conversation continues beyond what was seen earlier. Klaus warns her that if Damon kills him, he has instructed his hybrids to kill Damon.
Present- Stefan asks Katherine how she knew he would stop Damon from killing Klaus. She tells him that she wasn't sure but hopeful.
FLASHBACK! Stefan is drinking from his blood bag while Katherine tells him Damon will die if Klaus is killed. She begs Stefan to care enough to save Damon's life. She really hammers home the whole Damon will be dead thing.
Present- Katherine tells Stefan that she wasn't just trying to save Damon's life, but his as well. She loved both of the Salvatore boys and her humanity prevents her from wishing them dead. Stefan tells her that he can't turn his humanity back on because then he'll have to feel all the feels about the horrible things he has done. Katherine insists he turn it back on so he can get mad. Mad Stefan is part of some nefarious plan she has? Good luck with that.
Rebekah's phone rings next to her daggered body. Klaus leaves a voicemail telling her Mikael is dead and family reunion time is nigh. He receives a call from Stefan, thanking him for his freedom. While Stefan has a mini-rant about the cost of his freedom being too high, Klaus waltzes over to the moving truck he transports his family around in. Stefan mentions the concept of revenge as Klaus opens the truck, which is empty. All of the caskets are gone! Stefan is in a large room surrounded by Klaus's caskets. Klaus immediately launches into threatens of death and destruction but Stefan counters by telling him that he kill never see his family again. Shit just got super real.
Rebekah (a little), Hybrid (heart ripped out), Unknown amount of hybrids (wolfsbane grenade), Mikael (multiple times but once for real)
DAMON: "Her lying, mama- killing, dagger- happy brother."
CAROLINE: "O.k. first of all, I finally almost just got your mother to stop hating me- so I probably don't wanna get caught in some weird vampire threesome with her son. And secondly, quit hanging out with Rebekah the evil blood slut."
TYLER: "I'm here, hanging streamers and I have glitter all over my hands. If I'm sired to anybody it's you."
"Don't Stop (Bit Funk Remix)" by The Only Children. Caroline and Tyler decorate the VW in the stoner den and argue about Rebekah.
"Free Like You Make Me" by Cary Brothers. Elena and Rebekah talk while Rebekah gets ready for the Homecoming dance.
"You Wanna Freak Out" by My Morning Jacket. Bonnie and Caroline arrive to the Homecoming party; Tyler tells Stefan the party is a wake.
"First Light" by My Morning Jacket. Katherine (as Elena) and Matt arrive to the party; Klaus and Stefan talk.
"Holdin' On To Black Metal" by My Morning Jacket. Klaus tells Tyler to warn his friends that hybrids are at the party.
"The Day Is Coming" by My Morning Jacket. Klaus and Katherine (as Elena) talk; Damon arrives to the party.

Based on the best selling young adult adventure series of books by Anthony Horowitz, this story concerns Alex Rider (Alex Pettyfer), a 14-year-old orphan who has been unwittingly trained all his life by his uncle with the skills to become a secret agent - scuba diving, mountaineering, martial arts and so on. When his uncle (Ewan McGregor), an MI6 agent, is killed, Rider learns the truth and finds himself forced against his will to take on a dangerous mission for the British secret service. Using the tools and gadgets of the trade, in the vein of 007, Alex must infiltrate the lair of billionaire and possibly evil mastermind Darrius Sayle (Mickey Rourke) in order to stop him from releasing a biological weapon upon all of England via his brand new, high tech Stormbreaker computers.
Spy Kids:
Back in the spy game after a 10 year retirement, the parents (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) have just left on their first mission- to save the world from the evil forces of techno-wizard Fegan Floop (Allan Cummings) and his plan to invade the world with mini robotic children. But Mum and Dad are a bit rusty and are soon kidnapped by Floop and locked up in his transmogrifying castle. Who can save them? Well- just a couple of ordinary, bickering brother and sister spykids who'll do anything to get their parents back. Even if they do think they're boring.

The 2009 Knights Beach Pro is on hold
- 19 September 2009 | Bodyboarding
The 2009 Knights Beach Pro has been put on hold until 7am on Sunday, due to small and junky onshore waves, but anticipation is high with the promise of some amazing conditions.
Conditions were not contestable as an early onshore wind caused the small 1-2ft waves to deteriorate.
South Australian brothers and local boys Eli and Dylan Beach were relieved that the competition was held off until tomorrow.
"Tomorrow is looking like one of the best days in a while at Knights, so we're wrapped that the contest will be held in awesome conditions," remarked Eli.
As the penultimate event on the 2009 Rebel Sports Pro Tour, the Knights Beach Pro is and has traditionally been a key event for any riders hoping to win the Australasian title.
With an honour roll that reads like a who's who of international bodyboarding, the best of the best will be on show this weekend as the likes of Mitch Rawlins (WA) Michael Novy (Qld) Jake Stone (Qld) Jones Russell and Dallas Singer (NSW) get set for a show-stopping shootout.
The action kicks off on Sunday, 20 September 2009 at 7am, with the event to be streamed live.
The Knights Beach Pro 2009 is supported by The Government of South Australia, South Australian Tourism Commission, The Office of Recreation and Sport - Be Active, Coopers Brewery, Swellnet, Surfing South Australia and the International Bodyboarding Association Australasia.

Computer-Aided Design of Urban Transit Systemsby Jerry B. Schneider, Assoc. Prof.; Urban Planning and Civ. Engrg. Dept., Univ. of Washington, Seattle, WA,

Document Type: Journal Paper
A prototype man-computer system was developed for use in the design of urban bus transit systems. The Urban Transportation Analysis Section (UTRANS) permits design and evaluation of many alternatives within a relatively short period of time. UTRANS is currently limited to the design of transit systems that serve a many-to-one travel pattern, i.e., many trip origins having a common trip destination. The designer uses a graphics terminal to input design data for a bus transit system. A computerized behavioral model of mode split then predicts performance of the system design. A series of performance displays are provided for use in evaluation of the design. Repeated modifications of the original design permits the generation of many alternatives and eventual selection of a particular design that has best overall performance. An assessment of the utility of UTRANS in a real-world setting awaits the results of current efforts to apply the system in the design and evaluation of transit service to the University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.

Helpful Hints For HVAC Novices And ProsWhen it comes to HVAC, you'll find yourself very hot or very cold when it isn't done right. What does it take to ensure your unit is always in great condition? All you need to do is read this article in full to learn great tips to help you with your HVAC system.
Look for deals and rebates on the HVAC system you are having installed. Many ENERGY STAR units come with huge rebates either from your local utility company or the government itself. Investigate your options as it could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the installation costs.
Before selecting a HVAC repairman, know what you need done. You might not be able to get a price quote unless you let the contractor see your current system first. If you can't explain anything to them, this will be even more difficult. Thus, it is worthwhile to have this knowledge ahead of time.
Look to your neighbors and family to get recommendations of good HVAC specialists. Likely there's someone you know who's already done a ton of research. Use this knowledge to help get you the best specialist you can. This can save you many hours of research time and money too.
If you are uncertain about which HVAC contractor to call when you experience an equipment failure, take the time to ask friends and family for personal recommendations. By doing this, you will be able to feel more confident about the choice you make, because you will have gotten the opinions of people you already know to be trustworthy.
When you cut the grass, make sure your mower isn't tossing clippings toward your outdoor units. Aim the grass clippings in the other direction. If you're blowing leaves, this same problem can occur, so make sure you move around the unit and blow the leaves away from it.
Make sure your HVAC unit is in the shade. As you get your air conditioner to suck in cool air it won't have to do too much work to cool it which saves you some money.
Sometimes, it can be hard to figure out if your HVAC system needs to be fixed or needs to be replaced. If your system frequently breaks down, is always turning on or off on its own, or if your bills are too high, it may pay to have it replaced. Otherwise, little things can just be fixed.
Outer coils can be cleaned with a regular outdoor hose before you turn the unit on for the season. That said, interior coils should be taken care of by a professional so that you don't do any damage as you attempt to clean them. Bring someone in to complete a check up.
Sometimes air conditioners get iced up. You may even mistake the frozen drains as an issue for a plumber. If you see this, put the fan on to shut the compressor off. Get a professional to deal with this, even if you see the ice start melting because you turned the compressor off.
Looking for an efficient way to cool your home? Consider installing a whole-house evaporative cooler. They use water to cool air instead of traditional chemical coolants, using a ton less energy to cool your home than those other units. That said, they do work best in dry climates and not at all in humid ones.
Before having someone install a new HVAC system or maintain or repair yours, make sure they are insured. Having someone who is insured work on your system will assure that if anything happens while they are working at your home, they are financially covered and you will not be responsible.
To boost your home HVAC's efficiency, install solar screening. It reflects sunlight back outside, stopping it from heating up your home. Your air conditioner will be able to run less in the daytime, and your energy bill will plummet as a result. You can install this on any glass you have, doors or windows.
Before you get into the hot summer months, make sure to schedule a tune up for your current HVAC system. ServiceMaster of Sacramento water damage in basement mold is very important to keep issues from popping up with your system. It's a small cost to pay compared to the large bills to fix issues that could arise.

Coming to Comic-Con for the first time since The Fellowship of the Ring, Billy Boyd came down to promote the impending release of The Return of the King Extended Edition DVD (which hits in December of 2004), but took the time to catch us up on his post-LOTR/post-Master and Commander projects.
"I just finished a film called On a Clear Day &#Array; a British film," Boyd reveals. "I just finished it the day before yesterday, so I came straight here. It was filmed on the Isle of Man. It's about a couple of guys who try to swim the English Channel. Peter Mullan is in it and Brenda Blethyn." Does that mean he missed the wrap party? "No!" Boyd laughs. "We had the wrap party on the Isle of Man and then had two days more filming down in Dover. It's weird. There are a lot of people living [on the Isle of Man] just not to pay tax, so that's a weird thing. Everyone you meet has had some kind of windfall or sold the business, made a lot of money and went and lived there."
While the Isle of Man might make a great vacation spot on land, Boyd found the water far less hospitable. "The water's freezing," Boyd cries. "We're doing a movie about the Channel in water that's even colder than the Channel. We were swimming in the Irish Sea where you've got icebergs passing you! You could only go in the water for about ten minutes."
Before taking on Clear Day, Boyd took on the horror genre, providing the voice for Glen, the titular character in Don Mancini's highly-anticipated horror sequel Seed of Chucky. "It was fun," enthuses Boyd. "I just saw some of it and it's looking great. It wasn't what I expected. I thought it was a real sort of horror-horror, but it's really tongue-in-cheek, so I enjoyed it. We [recorded it] right through, but then I had to go back and change some stuff for one day for just a couple of hours." Unlike animation, there is a real doll out there that was filmed for the movie, but Boyd still hasn't encountered his horror-puppet counterpart, "I've seen it on screen, but I haven't seen the real thing," Boyd explains. "I haven't held it. I wonder if I get to keep it!"

Formative Assessment for Improving Native American Student Learning and Language Development: A Series of Professional Learning Modules
Welcome to this professional learning series on formative assessment for Native American student learning and language development. This series addresses formative assessment implementation with Native students across content areas with a focus on language development, including academic English and Native language. Students' levels of prior content knowledge and language development vary greatly from one to another. It is important that instructors know where each student is on their learning pathway, and then target instructional experiences that are matched to their levels. With formative assessment, teachers have the tools to do this work. It is only in connecting with students where they are on the pathway, that they are able to progress towards meeting their Learning Goals.
Why is it important to teach Native American languages?
"Since I started learning my language, I feel more connected to my community – my people, our doings, our land, especially my Great Grandma." -- Marissa, Tewa High School youth (2009)
"I want to learn my language to make sure my younger sisters and brothers can speak it. I have to start with myself. It's hard 'cuz it's not spoken in my home..." -- Pueblo High School youth (2014)
"I want to learn about the history of my people."-- various tribal youth
Student responses gathered by the Indigenous Language Institute.
How is this program structured?
This professional learning series includes a "pre-module" on working together in a professional learning community, an introduction to formative assessment, and four modules corresponding to elements in the formative assessment process. The elements are:
- Establishing Learning Goals and Success Criteria
- Gathering Evidence of Student Learning
- Analyzing and Interpreting Evidence of Student Learning
- Taking Pedagogical Action
1. Working Together!
We recommend that if possible, you work through these modules together with peers in a professional learning community (PLC). This PLC can be in-person at your school site, or a video/phone conference-based community, e.g., across rural schools in a district.
Our vision for using these materials involves:
- Individuals, on their own time, completing one module section at a time. This includes watching the formative assessment video and any additional material, such as classroom videos, reading articles, and completing any handout or protocol activities that go along with the section. To support productive meetings, we've included a document on establishing meeting norms below.
- After completing the section activities, individuals come together and meet with their PLC and discuss:
- What they've learned through the videos and articles
- Questions that have come up
- Experiences/reflections related to implementing formative assessment in their classrooms
- Goal setting for each participant
Linked below is a sample meeting agenda for these meetings.
- Additionally, teachers may come together for Video Study Groups (VSG). These are more targeted meetings to provide peer feedback to one another based on video recordings teachers take of their classrooms. To support this effort, we've included a sample initial meeting agenda and an agenda for follow up VSG meetings. Additionally, we've included an article describing video study groups and how they support teacher learning.
- Lastly, we have included formative assessment observation protocols for teachers to use to set their own personal learning goals and to structure peer feedback.

CSAI-Developed Curriculum and Instruction Resource Collection
This is a series of resources that assist teachers and those who support teachers to plan teaching and learning of College and Career Ready Standards (CCRS) for all students with a focus on formative assessment.
High-Leverage Principles of Effective Instruction for English Learners
New college and career ready standards (CCRS) have established more rigorous expectations of learning for all learners, including EL students, than what was expected in previous standards. A common feature in these new content-area standards is their emphasis on students' use of language to articulate and convey understanding of the content. The heightened role that language plays in CCRS presents new challenges for EL students and their teachers by calling for improved instructional strategies that simultaneously address language and content-area learning.
The purpose of this resource is to provide teachers of EL students with effective, high-leverage learning and teaching principles that can be incorporated into daily instructional plans and routines.

Loachapoka residents can skip this laborious task totally by employing a professional cleaning service company that specializes in move out cleaning services. Move out cleaning is specifically designed to have homes all set for those moving in to settle in as quickly as possible. Having the house cleaned completely prior to you move out is a matter of common courtesy if absolutely nothing else, however occasionally it is a mandatory requirement, especially if you're a previous occupant.
That there are numerous reasons why it is impending for Loachapoka tenants to hire an expert home cleaning service company when they are moving in or moving out. There is nothing easy about a move. The scope of the cleaning requirements that require to be done can be frustrating undoubtedly, specifically if the tenant is strained with work and other commitments.
Planning for move out cleaning.
The contract signed by the homeowner and the occupant generally consists of a stipulation that requires the latter to leave the property as they had actually discovered it-empty, pristine, and undamaged. In addition, for occupants who have actually chosen to move out, the landlord may include service charges against deposit funds if particular areas are not cleaned out.
Cleaning is absolutely not the priority for somebody who is faced with the formidable difficulties of settling into a new place and beginning a new life. There are numerous things that have to be achieved in so little time, not the least which is completing work and other requirements prior to the move. In order to satisfy their end of the arrangement, the more practical choice for the tenant is to employ Loachapoka expert cleaning company, as opposed to do the cleaning up themselves.
The major advantage of working with Loachapoka expert cleaning company is that they can do the job more completely and more efficiently. A cleaning crew can work miracles, and bring back a place that has been lived in for rather some time into an area that is almost brand new. A person without appropriate experience in making use of cleaning equipment and cleaning chemicals would not understand what kind of material to make use of to eliminate a certain type of stain.
Exactly what to anticipate when moving in
Moving into a new area in Loachapoka can be laborious. Expert cleaning service companies provide not only end-of-tenancy cleaning services.
Your to-do list before moving out:
Before you leave your house, check for damaged issues and see to it you change all of them. In case you forget to replace such items like lighting fixtures or missing screws, it is likely that your property owner would take a huge chunk off your initial deposit for these petty issues.
If the house has wall to wall carpeting, you will need to decide in between working with a professional to clean it or turning to cleaning it on your own. If you look at the present condition of the carpet and match it to the original state, this decision would be easy. When you make this decision, bringing it to the original condition need to be your objective.
You have to also examine the walls to see if there are stains on them. Walls with discolorations can be a huge problem due to direct visibility. Ensure you eliminate wall-stains with a mild hand to avoid deteriorating the paint since if that happens, you will lose a huge portion of your deposit money.
After you have actually done all the cleaning, establish that you check the ovens and refrigerators. The seals of the fridges must be in proper condition, and the ovens ought to be clean enough for usage. These checks will increase the odds of getting the deposit total completely when moving out in Loachapoka.
Quick Tip for Loachapoka residentsDo your homework! There are literally lots of companies that offer move out cleaning and steam carpet cleaning covering many properties as apartments, condos, town-homes, single family homes throughout where you live, and choosing the ideal one will certainly indicate a hassle-free, hassle-free move-out experience and hundreds of dollars of savings. If you are on a tight schedule for moving out of your existing property, book as far ahead of time as possible. Reserving towards the last days of the month commonly indicates greater rates and less accessibility. Offering your prospective business two to three weeks notification will usually result in a discounted price, and enable you to select an appointment for the exact time and date that fits you.

Recently, out of a desire for a new taste from a different part of the world, I have been trying to recapture the flavours from a distant holiday in Marakesh. I've been working on a vegetable tagine, and during my research, which has led me the believe there is no such thing as a definitive classic tagine recipe, I found that many of the popular online recipes are not at all what I remember from the side street restaurants of Marakesh. The spice combinations in different recipes vary wildly, and many recipes resemble a thick tomatoey spiced stew, which does not resemble the chunky, aromatic vegetables in the delicately spiced broth that I recall. I want to try and get this dish at least half way authentic, or at the very least, resembling my memory… so I have taken inspiration from a number of recipes and writings about Moroccan food, and I've come up with a simple spice combination that I'm not ashamed to call Ras-El-Hanout.
It turns out that this classic spice mix can combine anywhere between 10 and 100 different spices, so here's my version which is fairly easy to put together and store for a short while. I had 13 out of the 14 spices already in my cupboard, and the 14th one, the rose petals, is a bit of a wild card so I wouldn't worry too much if you can't find them.*
Makes 50g of spice mix, which is about 7 tbsp.
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tsp of fennel seeds
- 1 tsp of fenugreek seeds
- 1 tsp of black peppercorns
- 6 cardamom pods
- 6 cloves
- a 2 inch cinnamon stick or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon crushed chilli flakes (depending on how hot you like your food)
- 1 tsp of dried rose petals (indulgent, very pretty and optional!)
- 1/2 a whole nutmeg, grated
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 tsp of ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Either in a dry frying pan or a baking tin, gather all the whole spices: coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, peppercorns, cardamom, cloves and the cinnamon stick. Either dry fry, shaking regularly for 5 minutes or bake at 150 degrees c for 5-7 minutes, shaking once during baking. This will lightly toast the spices and release their full flavour.
Tip the toasted spices into an electric spice mill along with the chilli flakes and the rose petals, and grind to a fine powder.
Pour the spice mix into a jar with the remaining ground spices, the paprika, turmeric and ginger, and the grated nutmeg. Screw the lid on tight and shake the jar to combine the spice mixture. This should keep perfectly well for a few months in an air tight jar, ready to use in any authentic north African dishes.
This authentic spice blend, made with love and care from mostly organic spices is difficult to cost, because of the small amounts of so many of the ingredients. Good spices are an investment, buying several packets or jars of organic whole spices can soon add up, but they are mostly used sparingly and transform dishes in such a way that the cost is more than worth it (always try and buy whole spices, they go further and have a much longer life). If buying all these ingredients at once is a bit daunting and expensive, just add one or two to your shopping list every now and then and you'll soon have a good stock to play with. Making a blend like this makes good use of lots of ingredients and all together would most probably come to no more than £1, even including the indulgent rose petals!
* I had been comparing spice blends, many of the more complex of which contained various floral elements, rose petals and dried lavender buds. I was largely decided on omitting these ingredients, mainly for cost and convenience (I had no idea where to get them!) and then whilst scouring the shelves in Waitrose on an impromptu dash for essentials, I noticed a little pot of rose petals in the spice aisle. I thought it'd be nice to add this floral touch to the spice mix, so I picked them up. Feel free to add a tsp of lavender buds too if you have any to hand!

I'm pretty sure there's no such beast, but - those of you who are familiar with the Naan & Curry restaurants in the Bay Area, have you found anything even remotely close in terms of quality and price in L.A.?
For those who don't know - these are divey Indian restaurants where nothing is over eight bucks, but the food is excellent.
Seems like Indian in L.A. is either vegetarian snack-shop places, or white-tablecloth places with prices to match.
I'm dreaming of $8 tandoori lamb chops here... Sigh.

Due to the illiquidity of the asset class and absence of a secondary market, the performance measurement of ongoing unrealized portfolio company investments (interim valuation) is complicated and offers high discretion for fund management in valuing the funds' investments.
Therefore, private equity industry valuation guidelines have been developed to standardize valuation approaches, increase transparency and promote confidence between investors and fund managers, as well as set best practice examples for the private equity industry.
The first set of valuation guidelines for venture capital and private equity investments was introduced in the United States in 1989 by the U.S. National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).
In Europe, the first set of valuation guidelines was published by the British Venture Capital Association (BVCA) in 1991 followed by valuation standards of the European Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (EVCA) in 1993. Revised standards have been published by both organizations in 2003 and 2001, respectively.
However, all those initiatives were based on a conservative framework mainly with a cost-based approach. According to this approach, an investment in a fund should be carried at cost unless a material impairment indicated a write-down or a new financing round including a new outside investor supported an increase in the value of the portfolio company.
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards, however, require the fair value measurement of portfolio companies. In addition, fund investors themselves want fair values to be reported and need this information from their fund managers.
Consequently, the Private Equity Industry Guidelines Group (PEIGG), a volunteer group of representatives from the private equity industry (investors, general partners, and service providers from both the venture capital and buyout segment), issued U.S. Private Equity Valuation Guidelines in December 2003.
In Europe, the EVCA together with the BVCA and the French private equity association introduced the International Private Equity & Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines in March 2005.
Meanwhile, more than 35 regional and national private equity associations support the International Private Equity & Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines, which are continuously reviewed and further developed by an appointed Valuation Guidelines Board consisting of academics and practitioners.
Both recently introduced valuation guidelines provide detailed provisions how fund managers derive a fair value of their portfolio companies. Empirical studies indicate that the International Private Equity & Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines in Europe are more accepted than the U.S. Private Equity Valuation Guidelines in the United States.
Another set of valuation standards, which was originally developed by the CFA Institute for traditional asset classes (public equity and fixed income portfolios), is meanwhile expanded to private equity. Those Global Investment Performance Standards are more orientated toward future investors during fundraising and not focused on existing investors.
