New on DVD and Blu-ray Week of September 16-September 22

"Godzilla" makes a spectacular return in this reimagining of the original, 1954 Japanese "Gojira," which had the gigantic sea reptile awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation and embarking on a destructive binge, destroying Tokyo and the surrounding countryside. While the original was clearly a metaphorical comment on the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as continued nuclear testing around the world, subsequent "Godzilla" films took away the symbolism and had Godzilla as either a monster to be reckoned with or a savior of mankind as it Godzilla back to its roots as a prehistoric creature reawakened by nuclear radiation in the 1950s; the "nuclear testing" of that decade was really an excuse to try to destroy the creature, who went into hibernation for some 60 years ... until now. In a great environmentally-aware plot line, a pair of M.U.T.O.s, moth-like Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms, come to life courtesy of a nuclear powerplant in Japan, and threaten to destroy the world by sucking away all the earth's energy and resources in a campaign of destruction. Because nature corrects itself, Godzilla reappears to fight off the M.U.T.O.s and restore balance to the planet. Pretty cool. The special effects are spectacular, the acting topnotch (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, David Strathairn, Bryan Cranston) and the twists and turns exciting. You can have all your super hero cartoon characters; I'll take a 350-foot-tall avenger any day. Extras are neat: the "Monarch: Declassified" featurette -- done in the style of an old-fashioned classified film -- uncovers explosive new evidence not contained in the film that unravels the massive 50-year cover-up to keep Godzilla's existence a secret (Operation: Lucky Dragon, MONARCH: The M.U.T.O. File, The Godzilla Revelation) and the four-part "The Legendary Godzilla" behind the scenes featurettes takes a look at "Godzilla: Force of Nature," "A Whole New Level of Destruction," "Into the Void: The H.A.L.O. Jump" and "Ancient Enemy: The M.U.T.O.s." From Warner.
Also due this week: "Think Like a Man Too," the sequel to the 2012 box office hit "Think Like a Man," in which the gang heads off to Las Vegas for the marriage of Michael (Terrence J) and Candace (Regina Hall) and where plans for a romantic getaway go awry when a series of misadventures get them into some compromising situations that threaten to derail the wedding. Fun stuff from Sony ... and "The Fault in Our Stars," a mawkish big-screen adaptation of the No. 1 bestselling young adult novel by John Green about two teenagers whose bouts with cancer link them together in love; unavailable for review, from Fox.
"Eraserhead": When I first saw "Eraserhead" back in 1977 during the now-defunct Filmex Los Angeles film festival, high above Beverly Hills in the Greystone Mansion (which, at the time, housed the American Film Institute), I was astounded and shocked at what unfurled before my eyeballs. Don't forget, this was a time in film history when many, many films were released with little or no fanfare; there was no Entertainment Tonight, no TMZ, no Indiewire, no blogging and Internet universe to leave no stone unturned as to the production, filming and gossip surrounding virtually every film that gets made today. It was a time when you could be truly surprised at the cinema, a time when an "El Topo" or an "Eraserhead" could burst upon the scene and change everything that came after it. Lynch's debut feature -- a work of extraordinary craft and beauty -- became a lasting cult sensation. Its story -- with undercurrents of sex, industrial living and surrealism, shot with mesmerizing black-and-white photography by Frederick Elmes, with bizarre set designs by Jack Fisk and a unique industrial sound design -- takes place in a nightmare world and revolves around Henry Spencer (Jack Nance in an unforgettably enigmatic performance), an expressionless man who must marry his girlfriend, Mary X, when she gives birth to an inhuman child - a swaddled bundle with a snakelike face -- and live with her in his small apartment. After Mary leaves him and the child, Spencer begins having visions, including those of a planet with a man pulling levers and some involving the famous singing and dancing Lady in the Radiator. It's all very mind-blowing and fantastical, a very, very dark dream of life. The folks at The Criterion Collection have put out a director-approved DVD and Blu-ray special editions of the film with a new 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed stereo soundtrack on the Blu-ray. Extras: include "Eraserhead Stories," a 2001 documentary by David Lynch on the making of the film; new high-definition restorations of six short films by Lynch: "Six Figures Getting Sick" (1966), "The Alphabet" (1968), "The Grandmother" (1970), "The Amputee, Part 1 and Part 2" (1974), and "Premonitions Following an Evil Deed" (1996), all with video introductions by Lynch; new and archival interviews with cast and crew; trailer. Fascinating, freaky stuff.
"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 40th Anniversary Black Maria Limited Edition" (1974): Tobe Hooper's horror-thriller gets a 40th anniversary makeover with an all-new 4K digital transfer and a newly created 7.1 surround sound mix (supervised by Hooper). The release marks the only transfer of the film to go back to the original 16mm A/B rolls, the actual film that rolled through the cameras. The Limited Deluxe "Black Maria" Edition will be released at retail on October 14 but will be available exclusively for $99.98 at www.gorgon-video.com for 30 days beginning September 16. Fans of the film will recognize the unique packaging as a replica of the iconic "Black Maria" cattle truck that comes to Sally Hardesty's rescue when she's being pursued by Leatherface, a fitting nod to the legions of "TCSM" enthusiasts who were instrumental in keeping the film at the forefront of the genre for the past 40 years and a true collectible display piece. This four-disc DVD/Blu-ray combo pack will include such extras as a Leatherface apron, theatrical mini-poster, five audio options, feature commentaries with the filmmakers and cast, several making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, outtakes, bloopers, trailers and more. A Collector's Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo and single DVD and Blu-ray will also be available on September 16. From Dark Sky Films.

Relatives of Katrina Victims...
It seems there are many of us out there, in a variety of different states. We're the relatives and friends of people who survived Hurricane Katrina, and we're housing our loved ones with us until they can return (or if they choose to return.)
What I've noticed over the last few weeks is that a wide array of emotions have flooded through my mind. I was worried that my family wouldn't survive (in my case, they could not evacuate before Katrina due to medical reasons), then when the waters receded in their area, they had to drive 500 miles out of their way to arrive here. I am so incredibly grateful that they are safe, yet I am sad to see them (as well as many others now in my area) so displaced from their home. I've taken my parents shopping (as they only had 3 days worth of clothes when they arrived) and I see and hear New Orleans accents throughout the stores. In a way, this is comforting. Like I am surrounded by the people I grew up around once again. In a way, it is disheartening, because I know they miss their native city - the lazy port city on the Mississippi River.
This morning I took my parents out to brunch, and heard a cajun accent behind me ask the waiter if the restaurant had any coffee with chicory in it. My heart just broke when I heard that, because coffee with chicory was one of those things that was just "normal" in New Orleans, but it's not common in other places. Here are these people, displaced, wanting some semblance of home.
Writing has always been a creative outlet for me, and I've begun several poems about New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I do urge everyone to donate to whatever group they feel most comfortable with to help Katrina victims. Donate financially, donate your time to sort out goods in various offices/shelters, donate supplies to help those who are displaced.
My family is one of the lucky ones. They have damage, but it can be repaired. Many have lost everything, and are now faced with the decision to rebuild what they had or start over. I can't imagine what that would feel like.
More blurbs on this blog to come...

One Saturday morning, Julian longed for a little family get together so he gathered his daughters, little brother, and sister for a visit to the park. Viviana declined. He called Callie to meet them there, and Sasha called CiCi and Sydney. Upon arrival, the children dashed for the playground, Julian and Jeannette cloud gazed, Sasha and the cousins caught up, and Callie happily went around the park cleaning up after everyone.
When Julian and Jeannette were done cloud gazing, she tried to get up, but her third trimester belly was making it a bit difficult.
"Ummm…a little help, please?"
Julian smiled. "Of course." He grabbed her hands and pulled her up. "Perhaps next time I offer unsolicited help you'll happily take it."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize. Just let me care for you," he said and kissed her hands.
"How's our baby doing," he asked.
Jeannette smiled and gentle rubbed her baby bump. "Wonderfully."
Julian bent over and held her belly in his hands. "Hello, my child! We're so excited to see you tomorrow!"
"Not knowing what it is is so exciting! Do you think so," Jeannette asked.
"Yeah! I kinda like this whole element of surprise thing. It's driving me nuts!"
Meanwhile, Sasha and the cousins were deep in conversation.
"…oh! And Dexter also said that Landen said hi," Sasha said to Cienna.
"Aww! How nice! Definitely tell him I said hello back. And Lou too!"
"Grrrr! How come you two get all the nice guys," Sydney lamented.
"Ummm, probably because you scare them all away! If you could control your temper, maybe someone would be nice to you," Cienna said. "Oh! Sasha! Remember your friend Neelesh from elementary school?"
"Yeah! Is he back?"
"Yep! He's here permanently now…and he's been calling me. I hope you don't mind…"
Sasha smiled briefly and thought it was sweet how her cousin thought that her brief school-girl crush was serious enough to warrant permission. "Of course not! That was so long ago…and I was like nine years old!"
"Oh, good! He wants to go out sometime next week."
"Have fun," Sasha said. She was happy for her cousin, but there was something else she couldn't quite place. Perhaps it was hope–hope that her own love life would soon begin to blossom…but with whom? She had an idea, but wasn't quite sure how or if it would even work. "Oh! You know where you guys should go? There's this new place over in Newcrest…"
Cienna listened as Sasha was granting her permission and offered up suggestions, but she saw that brief look of disappointed on her face. She knew back at the festival that something may have been brewing between Sasha and Dexter, but she didn't realize it was still going on until that moment.
Later on in the afternoon, Julian spent some time with his little brother at the chess table. Being at that particular table in that seat made him think about Uncle Roland. He smiled as he recalled his favorite memory once again.
Julian decided to have a bit of fun with Emerson in light of the memory.
"Emmy J…tomorrow is your birthday. Because dad is gone, I'm gonna teach you all about being a man…"
Emerson sat and listened attentively.
"Playing chess with a girl is how relationships start," Julian said trying to keep a straight face.
Emerson was a smart kid and was very confused. "…chess?"
Heh, every child should receive horrible advice at least once in his life, Julian thought.
See this kid?
This is Deon Pruett! Why do we care about him? Well…we don't, really, but we care that his family still has the original Pruett nose. It's not lost, people! He is Allen Pruett's great grandson.
Before the Pruetts all left the park, Emerson decided to have one last go on the playground on his last night as a child.

Well, Christmas self is a happy girl! I love to bake and what better time of year to bake than Christmas! Of course, I haven't had time yet, but I think all major committments are complete now and I can focus on time at home, time to bake and time with my precious girls and precious hubby! Okay, so precious is not the greatest word to describe two kids and one husband (and one crazy mommy) all couped up in the house at Christmas, because 1. "baby, it's cold outside" and 2. I really miss Summer self:)! I thought of her today as I was sipping (okay gulping) my ice cold Corona Light, readying myself for another set of family visitors and staring into the eyes of Ro, Jo, We, Beebs and Annie in a picture by the pool in their bathing suits eating homemade ice cream. It was kind of like that scene in Christmas Vacation when Clark is looking out the kitchen window envisioning the pool he is going to put in as soon as the ground thaws out.
Anyway, we have already had several Family Christmas celebrations and it's only December 19th. Every year on the second Saturday of December, since my Bigmama died, we have the Johnson Family Christmas! My Bigmama was my mama's mama and my mama is the youngest of 13. It used to be a whole lot of relatives in a small space, but some of them don't come anymore. Even despite the efforts of my JenJen who sent an FB message to every family member she had FB friended asking them to be there. If you are reading this and you didn't come, you should be terribly ashamed you bunch of heithens! My Bigmama would have wanted you to be there and I am sure that she smiles down on us from Heaven, not only every single day of the year, but especially on the second Saturday of December. You know who you are, heithens.
All of this brings me to the Holler. The Holler is acutally Johnson's Holler (Hollow to those of you who don't call it Holler, but it is Holler), where all thirteen grew up. William, Ceil, James, Elton, Opal, Arthur Bird, Hurbert, Wilma, Bobby Joe, Judy, Jean, Neil and Linda, all thirteen. Well, the DOT in Tennessee decided that it would be a good idea to run a portion of the interstate right straight through the Holler. It brought tears to my eyes! I couldn't even find the turn to my Bigmama's house. But, as Daddy says, that's progress. Has he no sentiment, I ask you? Then, we drove on around to Thompson Station Road, where my Granny's house was and still is, but she is in Heaven, and yes, she smiles down on me every day too. I just told my MIL today that I know that my Granny, my Bigmama and Daddy's Granny have a party in Heaven every day and are always smiling down on us. Anyway, TS Road is a wreck! There is a bridge going right over the hill and fields of the Fry's (Gangy said it was the Fry's) and directly across TS Road about 3/4 of a mile from Bill's Repair Shop. Bill's my Grandaddy and he had himself a car shop at the front of their property. It was great! It smelled like car grease, there were always a bunch of old men in there hanging out talking, and there was an old fridge in the back with cheese and pb cracker, a huge box of the BIG Super Bubble Bubble Gum and RC Cola. I loved that fridge! And, as a side note and something that makes my Beebs really really happy, Granny's house ain't far from Hannah Montana's house! Well, Gangy told me that my Grandaddy said that "they ain't gonna build that interstate in my lifetime!", and he was right! But it sure is there now! Even though I hate the song, it reminds me of "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot". I hate that song!
So, we have had several Christmas parties, family and otherwise, my church choir program, the girls' church choir program (Beebs was the Christmas Dove and Annie a Star Angel), Annie's school program (again an angel - do you see a pattern forming? - they don't see her at home:)), Beebs' school program, family Christmas with Ev's mama and his brothers fam. They have the sweetest kids, 13, 7 and 5! PRECIOUS kids and we got some really good pictures! We had our annual "Girls Christmas Lunch" at work, even though there are fewere of us this year (thank you Obama!) and we do Dirty Santa, where I got a fabulous necklace! Thanks LeLe! And Deb got my gift, which was also fabulous and I wanted to steal it from her for myself, but, it's a little tacky to steal your own gift. I guess, maybe not if you like it as much as I liked the cast iron reindeer!
Beebs and Annie can't wait for Santa. Hope they make it off the naughty list, ha ha! You know they are precious and are always on the nice list. Beebs, not so much tonight. How do you teach a kid to share when she is really just like you and doesn't want to let go of anything!?! God bless her, she is just like her mama, but I got it honest too (Grandmama)! Oh, and you know how a Nutcracker has long hair? Not so much anymore! Annie decided ours needed a crew cut! He looks AWESOME! Yeah, really:)! Beebs and Annie had their dance Christmas party today and Beebs' class was chosen to dance. She truly "rocked around the Christmas tree"!
Okay, so, Christmas self, while daydreaming about her former skinny(ish), salad eating, Corona Light drinking, air conditioner running, shower to shower under the boobs using, laundry souring, morning with Susie and Toby walking, with the girls pooling, tv on the deck watching self, is going to bake this week and get ready for Santa by watching a little Polar Express and definitely a lot of Clark Griswald! Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight! God bless America (thank you Aunt Bethany)...

Missouri Public Service Commissioners will soon begin round two of formal hearings to consider a renewed effort to get approval of the Grain Belt Express Clean Line LLC (Grain Belt Express), a power line project that would cross through the heart of Monroe and Ralls Counties.
Missouri Public Service Commissioners will soon begin round two of formal hearings to consider a renewed effort to get approval of the Grain Belt Express Clean Line LLC (Grain Belt Express), a power line project that would cross through the heart of Monroe and Ralls Counties.
This is the second attempt by the Clean Energy Line Partners LLC to get approval for the Grain Belt Express, which it owns. The company is again asking the commission to award the project a certificate of convenience and necessity to construct, own, operate and maintain a high-voltage, direct-current transmission lines and associated facilities within Buchanan, Clinton, Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Randolph, Monroe and Ralls counties as well as an associated converter station near the Ralls County town of Center.
The Public Service Commission rejected a similar request in July 2015 by a 3-2 vote.
Clean Energy Line Partners came back in August 2016 with a slightly altered version of what the commission rejected last year.
As the hearings are set to begin, it is against the backdrop of a recommendation from Missouri Public Service Commission staff that the proposal again be rejected. After a review, the commission staff concluded that Clean Energy has not presented a case justifying the certificate of convenience and need. However, the commission is not required follow staff recommendations, as evidenced in the 2015 3-2 vote.
Grain Belt Express has been mired in controversy since it was first proposed in Missouri. Clean Line Energy Partners seeks to move electricity generated from vast wind farms in western Kansas, where on a good day in the summer winds can exceed 35 to 45 mph. The company wants to build transmission lines across Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, ending in Indiana. Several large cities are supporting the project. The project is estimated to be worth $2.2 billion.
Clean Line has won approval from regulators in Kansas and in Indiana, the terminal point for the transmission lines. The case is unusual in that a private company seeking to be approved as a utility in Missouri.
The company says that in addition to providing alternative energy not produced from fossil fuels, that the Grain Belt Express will create significant economic impact for Missouri — $6 million alone in the first year for Monroe County, and lower energy bills for Missouri residents.
The battle lines for the case are clear: On the one side is Clean Energy Partners, promising wind-produced energy that will reduce costs for utilities consumers in the nation's industrial belt. The company has enlisted the support of environmental groups, that are opposed to fossil fuels and nuclear; private contractors and unions, who see years of jobs to build the transmission project; some small municipal utilities, which are contracting to purchase a small fraction of the power that will flow through the lines; and by some county officials, who applaud the increased property taxes the utility would generate.
For opponents, the attempt to gain approval of the project from the Public Service Commission is a land grab by a private company that will hurt landowners and create unsightly transmission poles that can range up to 200 feet tall, and cut a 200-foot wide swath through rural Missouri. One of the group's organized against the project is the Show Me Concerned Landowners, a group of farmers that has been fighting Grain Belt since the project first surfaced.
And it is turning into a classic rural vs. urban battle.
After the commission rejected the first Grain Belt filing in 2015, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a blistering editorial about the decision and the opposition of rural groups.
"Missouri is the lone holdout on helping provide the nation with a future of clean, renewable energy and lesser dependence on dirty coal-fired power plants. Missouri farmers have crowed over their victory in getting the line blocked. In efforts to persuade the state's Public Service Commission to vote against it, farmers offered familiar arguments about not wanting the line to cross their property and about creating problems when they plant and harvest crops," wrote the newspaper's editorial board.
The Show Me group counters that its opposition is about landowners' rights and the future of agriculture in the impacted counties.
"Show Me's members are concerned about the damage to the some of the most productive farms and ranches in the country and interference with their operation, health, property values, visual pollution, and future limitations on land use. While Grain Belt Express has been very busy courting political officials, the evidence shows that landowners were on the very bottom of Grain Belt Express's list in terms of importance. Show Me believes that Grain Belt Express's lack of respect and concern for landowner issues would continue if Grain Belt Express were to receive a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) from this Commission," said the group in a recent filing with the Public Service Commission.
Grain Belt Express, however, says the project is a win-win for consumers who need access to alternative energy and to cash-strapped rural Missouri counties and school districts.
"The Grain Belt Express project is expected to contribute more than $39 million to community services and landowners across northern Missouri, in the first year of operation alone. Tax payments are based on the number of miles of the powerline in the county, and the taxing rates of the various taxing districts," wrote Mark Lawlor, director of development for Grain Belt Express Clean Line, in a letter about the project late last year.
Winning Public Service Commission approval does not guarantee that the project will be built. If the commission awards the certificate of need, the project must gain approval for eminent domain in Monroe and other counties, as the commission order would not address and acquisition.
The formal hearings in the case are scheduled for March 20-24, in Room 310 of the Governor's Office Building, 200 Madison St., Jefferson City.

Makeup Revolution Mermaid vs Unicorn Eye Shadow Palette
Ah back to my favourite budget friendly brand! This time the spotlight is on the Makeup Revolution Mermaid vs Unicorn Eye Shadow Palette. Now if bright colours are not your thing, then look away now 😉 Only joking, don't, makeup is supposed to be fun and for experimenting and this palette retailing at €5.99 is the perfect price to test out your skills or just to have some fun. You can always use the colours in this palette with more neutral colours, for example at the inner corner of the eye if loud colours are not your thing.
I got this palette from Sash in my local shopping centre. Sash is a clothing store, however, they also stock accessories and now Makeup Revolution. Now you can get everything you need for your night out in the one place, not that is handy!. I covered Sash on another post HERE their clothes are out of this world, so check them out, if you're not from the area you can order online.
Makeup Revolution Mermaid vs Unicorn Eye Shadow – The Details
Like all the other eye shadow palette I have used from Makeup Revolution the colour payoff of the mermaid vs unicorn palette is amazing for the price point. I loved playing around with this palette as the colours are so much fun. The palette has a clear see through plastic cover so you can see the eye shadow through it. On one side you have 6 greens and blues shades representing the mermaid and then on the other side you have dark and light purples and a pink moving into darker blue/black shades to represent the unicorn side.
Overall I really liked this palette especially for creating some fun looks. They majority of shades are pigmented, they blended well, but I did have to take a bit more time to get it the way I wanted. The case is nice and thin which makes it handy when travelling with it and the clasp is good and strong.
Makeup Revolution Mermaid vs Unicorn Eye Shadow – Swatches
Below are the swatches starting from left to right based on the picture above:
I did not use primer or any other product under the swatches. As you can see the first two swatches of the greens are quite light and not as pigmented as the others. You can however, use a white eyeliner or highlighter pencil underneath them so that the colour will pop (I did this when creating the eye look). The rest of the colours are more pigmented except for the lilac colour 4th in from the right. It is so much easier when the shadows have names when going into the detail lol.
Makeup Revolution Mermaid vs Unicorn Eye Shadow – The Look
As you can see by the feature picture, I did a very colourful look, combining both sides of the palette. In this palette you do not have a transition shade or a base shade so I used another Makeup Revolution Palette; Fortune Favours the Brave – you can read my review HERE. I used crème as a base once I applied my eye shadow primer, followed up with buffer in the crease and then darkened up with Latte.
I moved on to applying a white eyeliner on either side of my lid and a highlighter crayon on the center of my lid. I applied the white eyeliner to make the lilac colour more prominent and the highlighter crayon to make the greeny/blue spotlight pop. I just patted on the lilac on either side first and then the green shade 3 rd from the left, in the middle of my lid. I applied the shadow with a dry brush, however, you could use a wet brush to make the colours even more intense.
I darkened up the lilac a small bit with the dark purple shade 7th in from the left and in my outer corner. I also added some of the blue (5th from the left) over the green on the middle of my eye lid. Instead of using a black eyeliner, I used Blacque from the Fortune Favours the Brave Palette to sweep above my lashes and to bring it out into a small wing. I then used a black kohl pencil on my bottom waterline and tightlined the top waterline and to finish the look I used a pair of Kiss Lashes in Vamp.
I followed all the same steps above for my under eye area. I have shown the look below from various different angles:
In my opinion the look is not too out there, it's giving out a nice colourful energy!
Overall, I was impressed with the Makeup Revolution Mermaid vs Unicorn palette. There is fallout when applying the shadow, so I do this first before I apply my foundation or concealer. I will use this palette mainly to add a pop of colour to a more muted look but I have used it to also create a ombre lip look (checkout my instagram account to have a look, link at the end)
I hope you found this review helpful, please let me know if you did. If you have any question pop them below in the comment box or contact me on my social media channels listed below.
P.S. If like me you love Makeup Revolution you will find other reviews HERE

Manchester United are said to be looking at tying down James Wilson to a new deal.
Manchester United have allegedly offered talented striker James Wilson a new £20,000-a-week contract in a bid to secure his long-term future at Old Trafford, the Daily Star report.
The 19-year-old striker has been handed a number of opportunities this season under new boss Louis van Gaal after making his senior debut towards the end of last season.
Wilson originally became well-known within the club as a result of his excellent goal scoring feats at youth level, once scoring all four goals in a 4-1 win over Manchester City U21s in a senior cup final.
This season, despite finding the net just once for the first-team, he has seemingly done enough to impress Van Gaal and offer valuable competition for the likes of Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao.
According to transfermarkt.com, Wilson's current deal at Old Trafford expires in June 2015 yet an offer on the table stands to extend his contract and secure his long-term future at the club.
"Manchester United have reportedly offered James Wilson a new deal at the club. However the terms on the table to Wilson are only for around £20,000-a-week," the Daily Star report.
Wilson has started two Premier League matches this season with a further eight appearances coming off the bench, scoring once in a 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.
He partnered Falcao in attack during Friday's 0-0 draw at Cambridge United in the FA Cup, but rarely tested the goalkeeper as he struggled to make an impression on the match.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) Â? A Gypsum woman has been convicted of repeatedly using a cattle prod to discipline her 15-year-old daughter.
The Salina Journal is reporting that Saline County jurors deliberated for nearly two hours Thursday before finding 53-year-old Connie Thompson-Dupes guilty of one count of child abuse.
The investigation of Thompson-Dupes started after police found her daughter while searching for two runaways. The girl had not been reported missing.
The teen told authorities her mother used a cattle prod, an electric shocking device used to move cattle, to punish her numerous times in 2007.
Sentencing has been scheduled for April 8. District Judge Jerome Hellmer could sentence her to probation or she could receive a prison sentence of 31 to 136 months.

Involvement of urinary bladder Connexin43 and the circadian clock in coordination of diurnal micturition rhythm
By H. Negoro, A. Kanematsu, M. Doi, S.O. Suadicani, M. Matsuo, M. Imamura, T. Okinami, N. Nishikawa, T. Oura, S. Matsui, K. Seo, M. Tainaka, S. Urabe, E. Kiyokage, T. Todo, H. Okamura, Y. Tabata, and O. Ogawa.
Nature Communications, Volume 3, 2012, Article number 809
Editor's comments:
The bladder muscle cells may have a circadian biological rhythm.This study in mice bladders has focused on a possible circadian variation of connexin43 (Cx43), a bladder gap junction protein. The authors have found circadian oscillations of bladder Cx43 and functional capacity in "normal mice", and compared this with Cry-null mice (dysfunctional biological clock) which did not have this "rhythm". The authors therefore suggest that bladder "voiding capacity" may vary during the day and night.
Nocturnal enuresis in children and nocturia in the elderly are two highly prevalent clinical conditions characterized by a mismatch between urine production rate in the kidneys and storage in the urinary bladder during the sleep phase. Here we demonstrate, using a novel method for automated recording of mouse micturition, that connexin43, a bladder gap junction protein, is a negative regulator of functional bladder capacity. Bladder connexin43 levels and functional capacity show circadian oscillations in wild-type mice, but such rhythms are completely lost in Cry-null mice having a dysfunctional biological clock. Bladder muscle cells have an internal clock, and show oscillations of connexin43 and gap junction function. A clock regulator, Rev-erbα, upregulates connexin43 transcription as a cofactor of Sp1, using Sp1 cis-elements of the promoter. Therefore, circadian oscillation of connexin43 is associated with the biological clock and contributes to diurnal changes in bladder capacity, which avoids disturbance of sleep by micturition.

Komatsu Cushion Tire Forklifts
Forklift Controls
In any warehouse setting, among the most common machines is a lift truck or forklift. These all-around machines are comprised of a vehicle along with two split forks at the front which are capable of hauling and carrying bulky items.
The standard lift truck is built to work and move in small spaces and is able to lift items to and from high up places. Forklifts are still extremely dangerous machines and should be operated safely all the time, after proper training and certification has taken place.
Take the time to read the owners manual after acquiring a new forklift to help you get familiar with the controls. The guidebook will feature the particular location of each control and the functions it has. The majority of forklifts have two levers that control the forks. The first lever controls the fork height. In order to make the forks go down, you push the lever forward. To be able to move the forks upwards, you simply pull back on the lever.
The forklift's second lever is utilized to tilt the forks allowing for better distribution of weight across the forklift. This tilting action helps to keep objects stable and won't allow objects to fall off when driving. Moreover, it helps items slide off in a more balanced way when unloading.
By pulling the second lever back, the forks will tilt back, when pushing the lever forward will tilt the forks forward. Several types of forklifts are outfitted with a third lever that controls the fork width. Every one of these levers is situated just to the right of the driver's seat.
Before using the forklift, sit inside of it and go over what the controls do with a qualified coworker. Be sure to do this when the forklift is turned off and not in use. Ask the qualified professional if you have any questions regarding how anything functions.
Watch how the coworker shows the function of each of the controls. Observation is often the best method to learn a new skill. On hydrostatic lift trucks, notice that to be able to make the equipment go, you utilize the gas. And if you want to make it stop, you simply release the gas pedal. There is no brake on these kinds of forklifts. There are several kinds of hydrostatic forklifts which are complete with battery powered engines which shut off when the gas pedal is released. They start up once the gas pedal is pushed again.

'round and 'round the wheel turns, never stopping; it is heartless, that way. Even if you beg, it will never pause for thee.
I love this card, with its vivid colors and the knotwork that makes the Wheel appear as if it is truly moving. The patterns that lace the Wheel and the background make the entire image vibrant.
Of all the cards in Tarot, the Wheel of Fortune is the easiest to read, in my opinion. It's the most straightforward and can be read positively, negatively, or neutrally, depending on the context.
The Wheel of Fortune is destiny, fate, karma*, serendipity, wyrd—whatever you want to call it. It is the "natural order" of things, or the way the path snakes through the forest of your life.
It is also turning points, the pivot point of one's destiny where you have the option to go one way or the other. In that sense, the Wheel of Fortune takes on the idea of a map, moreso than a straight line. There are paths drawn and important sites notated, but in the end, the way you go is your own.
This speaks to me a lot, especially at this phase on my path. I have wandered for quite a while, and now, through my wanderings, I have many more options available to me. More of the map explored, though no home to call my own. Yet, the Wheel, as every wheel and every circle have, has its apex, its center, where everything comes together. It is here that I wish to one day find, and it's possible I will.I find this card to tie in nicely with the Hermit, its predecessor. The Hermit is always seeking, always searching. The Wheel, with its map, lays the path for the seeker, gives the signs where one may go: do you go left, or do you go right at the crossroads?
*Karma in the original meaning, not the Western interpretation of the word.

Hands up who is guilty of seriously neglecting their skin? It's the start of summer but have you thought about treating your feet after they've been worked all day? Have you pampered your hands after they've slaved themselves to the bone this week? Have you pampered yourself and your skin at all since the weather changed? If, like me, the answer to these questions are a big fat NO then shame on you (and me)! Thankfully, the lovelies over at Flexitol are here to save the day and our precious skin!
Flexitol are a wicked company that believe in truly treating your skin and maintain that level of treatment to pamper level! As a blogger, I am lucky enough to get to try out some amazing products and while a box from Flexitol may not be one's ideas of pampering and happiness, it is definitely mine!
Skincare is so, so important in general but at this time of year it is imperative! To look after yourself and your skin is so key to being safe and to being happy. Happy skin, happy people!
I have been lucky enough in the past few weeks, to trial the Flexitol hand and feet ranges. And, I have to admit, I love them! I get to trial lots of different hand creams and a lot of them are all perfume no moisture. They seem great at first then after a little while you wonder why you need to keep applying more and more and rubbing in the cream harder and harder. It's because the perfume and products used in it dry your skin out and eventually have the opposite effect.
In the month trial of using Flexitol creams, this hasn't happened. I have quite a physical job that uses my hands a lot. If my hands aren't being dunked in freezing cold water, pierced into searing hot liquids or twisting and gripping things, I've had an incredibly good day. Life takes its toll on your skin so easily!
The foot balm is like putting clotted cream onto your heels. I know that is the grossest of images but it is so luxurious and thick and it really works. I suffer from cracked heels and being on my feet all day takes its toll. My poor toes are constantly stood on and I stub my toe (and swear very loudly) probably once a day! So a foot balm that will soothe the aches and pains of everyday life is exactly what the doctor ordered!
No longer am I ashamed of my heels or hide my toes in socks in bed for fear of scratching my boyfriend's leg with my gross skin! Now I am foot loose and fancy free. Literally!
I implore you all to look after the skin you're in this summer season and with the help of Flexitol and their amazing team, it'll be easy to keep that simple skincare routine up for the rest of the year, into the dreaded winter and forever!
Flexitol are really one of my favourite skin care brands and I am so proud to be able to share that love with you all!

Happy 20th Birthday USB! from Nov.15 1995 to Nov.15 2015
The father of the USB, Ajay Bhatt told us the story of usb's birth.
Ajay Bhatt, from wikipedia, Ajay V. Bhatt is an Indian-American computer architect who helped define and develop several widely used technologies, including USB, AGP, PCI Express, Platform Power management architecture and various chipset improvements. And he is an Intel fellow.
Ajay Bhatt told the media about all of the story of the invertion of USB."Anytime (my family) wanted to do something simple like print a letter for my daughter's school, I would get a phone call from my wife that she just can't print it," Bhatt said. "She does something, but nothing happens to the printer." It is a humble story.
And during the interview Ajay Bhatt told us why why it didn't have a reversible connector."We wanted to solve the problem with four pins and very few gates on our silicon and also four wires," Bhatt said. "To make things flippable you need twice as many wires, that means twice the cost, and you need a lot more circuits. We could have done it but the cost of this would not have been acceptable to people."

So, I had a think while Pearl Jammin' in the name of the lord:
PJ survived the grunge era as an extant band by hedging their bets, or perhaps by growing as an artistic entity. While their compatriots carved out specific niches – Nirvana with depression and anti-fame, Soundgarden with cock-rock, Alice in Chains with hard rock, Smashing Pumpkins with whiny teen angst, Pearl Jam blended a general feeling of identification with outcasts and hippy-dippyism while STILL cranking out riff-led rock songs. This allowed them to ascend in popularity along early-90s alt-scene types but avoid self-destructing. Then, when they felt like getting weird they had a good reason for spoken word poetry and Earth Mother Gaia drum circle stuff BUT so long as they still had two guitarists and a guy (lead singer Scott Stapp) who could scream and hate record companies they could still stay on the radio. Unsurprisingly, the best way to survive being part of a fad was keeping your options open. Also, not being obviously addicted to heroin.
This album was probably the main reason they remained the minor force they still are today: The fad had exploded, and the albums had been progressively selling less and less and containing more and more slow weirdness. So they got their act together and evidently decided to crank out a bunch of old-timey loud songs (albeit with thankfully and at times wonderfully updated themes) with only a little weirdness, and bam! Consider your ticket punched for the train to "THIS album is the return to form fans have been for since Yield!!"ville!
This is their late-20s album: they still had some old-school fight left in them, and just when we doubted them, they showed they still had it. "See honey," they said to each other "marriage doesn't mean the end of our social lives after all," ignoring that all their friends were slowly becoming married couples as well, and that that black 24 year-old had stopped coming to their increasingly posh parties, "let's have allegorical kids and record 'Binaural'!" But first!
For my money, this album is painfully uneven but really great for over half the time. It starts with a dumb riff-rocker, but then tracks 2-7 are all great! There's a pretend-apathetic song with a really cool guitar effect in one ear ("No Way"), a soaring crescendo ("Given To Fly"), a slower song with lyrics consisting of a shopping list of usually touching desires ("I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me / I wish I was as fortunate / as fortunate as me / I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good / I wish I was the full moon shining off your Camaro's hood"), a couple other silly but really catchy songs, and the endless fun of the misanthropic rave-up "Do the Evolution," which also had perhaps the greatest music video ever (and you can really hear it).
But ah, the signs of aging! What's with the atrocious and pretentious spoken-word /dumb bassline / off-key backing vocals / overproduced "Push Me, Pull Me"? How come they include only some of the lyrics, but with random words omitted? Why end the album on a silly in-joke instead of the pretty solid "All Those Yesterdays"? The mostly-acoustic Tom Petty-like song isn't that great either, nor is "In Hiding," which is "Given to Fly" only without the payoff. I do rather enjoy the silly dance song that has no title aside from a red dot (I like this pretentiousness), and I admire the guitar interplay at the start of "MFC," but what's with all the fadeouts?
Is the world for having this album? It is, I think it is! They are laughing, but they are indignant. They are friends of the family, and imagine our despair if we had tried to get them to go entirely. We mustn't rush in before we know how the land lies, and we can always use an early beacon of general bitterness, to remind us of where we were and be a low burning candle to remind us of what unnatural light can be. "The first human face you see will knock you back 50%." Ah, Pearl Jam! Ah, humanity!

Got this phone over the weekend.. Got a couple of questions..
1. I can't see an 'Exit' option when using the camera..What I do to exit is just press the "End Call" key and it will return to the Standby screen. Is that the only way to close the camera?
2. In creating a Music Playlist, is there anyway that I can sort the songs the way i want it to be sequenced..because for now the songs in the playlist is always in alphabetical order.
Had mine for a week now ,battery only average . Some cleaver features but fake call feature a joke .
Can extend battery life by dimming screen and using power saving mode . Slim line phone small battery u get what you pay for . Worthy new commer .Im happy .
The Multimedia Features of Samsung S7350 Ultra S Mobile Phone is just awesome, it has a camera equipment with 5 mp camera and the camera quality is also amazing in the daylight and also at night in the darkness it also provides good photo clarity. All and all its mutimedia results are pretty good and if you want to find out more about it, then check this detailed review made: http://forums.techarena.in/reviews/1239215.htm

Gavin, 21 Aug 2009I recently purchased a Samsung S7350 Mobile Phone only to find it was damaged when it arrived ... moreSamsung don't seem to be good at accepting there are problems with their phones. I, along with loads of other had a screen break for no reason on a D900 but samsung refused to accept the problem was with their design instead it seemed easier to blame us owners
I recently purchased a Samsung S7350 Mobile Phone only to find it was damaged when it arrived by courier. I immediately returned the phone to Samsung who have refused to rectify the problem.
I will never buy another Samsung.
naleen, 05 Aug 2009hi what is a fake call? how do u save onto memory card and not phone, phone memory is full. ... moreBy using Fake call option u can get away from unwanted situatons or places

I've had this Classico for 3 days now and I've had to charge it up every day. Its only been used for about 15 txts, a couple of photos and the usual customising and familiarising you do when you get a new phone. Is this battery faulty or am I expecting too much? My old Motorola was charged every couple of weeks or so, so perhaps I've been spoilt. I like the features, the usual manual is rubbish, not at all helpful and I'm wondering whether to send it back. Oh, by the way does anyone know how to brighten the subject when you're ready to take a photo, I would have thought it was on the navigation button or a slider at the side but that only brings the subject nearer. Thanks
Alireza, 05 Aug 2009hi every one. i have a question: does its camera has optical or digital zoom? please reply me ... moredigital zoom yes,optical nope
Anonymous, 17 Jul 2009The phone is stylish and looks good, but I'm a bit disappointed with some of the functionality... morethankyou so much for your comments,the good is not enough for such a expensive phone and the, not so good, is also what I want in a phone,like the birthdays reminder and I also use the messages a lot.So I wont look at the S7350 anymore to buy!Thanks for all the information,this is what I really wanted to know.
Where can find themes for this phone?
