Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has escaped charges relating to a nightclub fight with model Jayde Nicole.
The adult filmmaker clashed with socialite Brody Jenner's girlfriend Nicole in July and the model claimed to have suffered a "black eye, swollen face, bruised ribs" and other injuries in the incident.
She sued Francis for $1 million for "utter emotional distress and humiliation" earlier this month, and the director fired back with a countersuit this week, accusing Nicole of threatening to kill him during the scuffle.
In his legal documents, he alleged Nicole hit him in the head before she poured a drink on him and shouted, "I'm going to kill you!"
Francis thought he was going to be hit again when he saw Nicole reach for a bottle, and reacted to the potential attack by grabbing her hair "in self-defense," insisting he was "in fear and apprehension of being struck a third time and that Nicole was going to carry out her threat to kill him."
Los Angeles authorities subsequently studied surveillance video footage of the brawl.
According to TMZ.com, the District Attorney's report supports Francis' claim that Nicole "appears to have acted without immediate provocation."
Neither Nicole nor Jenner will face charges.
The report adds, "The interests of justice do not support the filing of criminal charges against any of the three suspects."
But that's not the end of Francis' legal woes – he's accused of failing to pay back a gambling debt and is also embroiled in a lawsuit against three former employees he claims tried to embezzle cash from him.

How I Became the Bomb formed in 2005 in the university hub of Murfreesboro, TN. Childhood friends Adam Richardson and Jon Burr conspired with like-minded popsters Ricky Bizness, Rusty Hanberry, and Andy Spore to make music they wanted to hear. Something big. Something bold. Something cinematic. In June of that year, that nameless something became nameless no longer at The Temptation Club, an underground all-male revue. Tossing their fates to the wind, the quintet allowed a friend to christen them as they took to the stage for their first show. Thus How I Became the Bomb was born.
With a mere 4 shows under their belt, the band fast-tracked the recording of an EP at Lakefever Productions on famed Music Row in Nashville, TN. The culmination of two weekends in the studio, the Let's Go! EP was released May 13, 2006.
Recording in hand, How I Became the Bomb began touring regionally, attracting the interest of both national and international press. On September 2, 2006, How I Became the Bomb was featured in Billboard Magazine, and on October 25, 2006, Rolling Stone named the group "Online Pick of the Day". On June 4, 2007, the Guardian UK selected How I Became the Bomb as "Band of the Day".
After securing UK management, How I Became the Bomb played the European Festival circuit in July of 2007. Their first batch of shows had them performing at the Summercase Festival in Spain and the Latitude Festival in Suffolk, UK, where they shared the stage with Spoon, Arcade Fire, Jarvis Cocker, AIR, Jesus & Mary Chain, and Super Furry Animals.
While on their first European jaunt, the Bomb signed licensing deals with V2 in the UK (later bought by Universal), Yep Roc in Japan, and Sinnamon Records in Spain (Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Hot Hot Heat).
Later that year, How I Became the Bomb returned to Europe to play the Wintercase Festival in Spain. They end up staying for months, touring clubs in the UK and Spain, including an extended set of dates with Editors.
The troupe spent the next year recording four digital music packs and releasing them online for free, accompanied by two music videos. They have now compiled this formerly online exclusive audio content into a physical release (available from this very web site). Including four previously unavailable tracks, Deadly Art is the sixteen song epic Bomb fans have long sought. With expert assistance from producer John Baldwin (LakeFever) and mixers F. Reid Shippen, Craig Alvin, and Buckley Miller, How I Became the Bomb has created a work of filmic majesty that exceeds even their own high expectations. They will continue to do so in 2010, recording more music and touring clubs, house parties, and sci-fi conventions extensively!

Minneapolis — The city laid out its finest food, music, and stunning riverfront scenery for thousands of delegates, VIPs and media last night at the opening party of the GOP convention, a bash that rivaled anything that we've seen at these conventions.
It's a jewel of a city, and the convention hoards congregated last night downtown at the historic riverfront to kick it all off, munching on excellent local foods — fresh grilled corn, portobello mushrooms, sliders, wild rice pilaf, etc. — and enjoying city highlights like the Guthrie Museum, the big blue architectural jewel. A five-star party, but the city of Minneapolis was the star, and a memorable one.
Carla Marinucci/The Chronicle
And now comes the worry: will Hurricane Gustav change or delay the whole GOP Convention, which is set to officially open Monday at the Xcel Energy Center?
Officials we've talked to explain that the confab cannot be cancelled; there has to be a GOP gathering to do the legal business of nominating the party's candidates.
But will it be curtailed, cut (we're all here anyway, the city tourism dollars won't suffer) and will the tone can be substantially changed? All possible.
And the the lineup of speakers is also in doubt: President Bush, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindahl, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist are on the growing list of the unlikely. (John McCain won't exactly be upset about that POTUS pullout.)
It's all being explored as we speak. Stay tuned.

Despite the talk of Brandon Scherff and the Giants having Scherff as their highest rated OL, Flowers was not far behind. As the draft approached it was a coin flip between Flowers and Peat. Not the most graceful player, but extremely effective. Does not turn 21 until August and offers a lot of power in the running game, which the Giants sorely lacked. With proper development he reminds me of Erik Williams and the great Cowboys OL's of the 1990s
The Giants dealt a 4th and 7th Round pick to trade up for Landon Collins. Collins, widely expected to go in the first round, fell to Round 2. Alabama defensive players have been hit or miss in the NFL as they played in a pro-style scheme under Nick Saban so often are close to physically maxed out. Even if he does not progress as ideally as one would like in the passing game, solid enough against the run that he can carve out a long career as an in-the-box S. When the Giants pick came up in Round 4 there were one or two names I saw that did not make it until their 5th Round pick, but none are players I would lose sleep over not having the opportunity to select at this time
Another player that was talked about as a potential first rounder leading up to the draft. Fell to Round 3 due to health concerns (he has had multiple hip surgeries) and questions about his pass rush ability because UCLA's scheme did not really have him doing much in the pass rush. Although the Giants have a lot of bodies at DE this year, JPP will be playing under a franchise tender, George Selvie and Robert Ayres are UFA's after this year, and there is no guarantee regarding the progress of Damontre Moore or Kerry Wynn
Probably the most questionable of the Giants picks. I did not see anywhere that had him in their top 600 and the Giants were the only team to bring him in for a visit, so I wonder if he couldn't have been had later in the draft. Strong Pro Day, but on the field at Texas did not stand out. Offers flexibility as a FS with the ability to play in the slot. According to Texas fans, really made progress under Charlie Strong especially over the last 7 games after stalling under Mack Brown (a common complaint about Mack Brown's tenure). Projection pick, but this reeks of Jerry Reese/Mark Ross trying to prove themselves smarter than everyone else. At least this year they waited until the 5th Round rather than spending a 3rd, which had been their usual M.O.
Another prospect who was difficult to grade because of the situation around him. Has the requisite size and supposedly runs good routes, but the lack of a decent QB did not give him a chance to make plays after the catch. Battled through some injuries this year and has some questions about this ability to separate from DB's. That being said, looking at the tape it is hard to tell if the latter is a problem or it is magnified by a QB being late on his throws which allows the DB a chance to get back in the picture or a combination of both. Willing participant on special teams and will go over the middle to make a catch
Like Flowers does not turn 21 until August. Played 4 years for Florida State including starting multiple years at RT. Will kick inside to OG where his feet will be less of an issue. Mauler who will really help in the run game. Maybe not an immediate need, but leave him on the PS for a year so he can learn the nuances of playing OG and could be useful as a back-up OG in 2016
UDFA to be posted after rookie camp once I can see who was signed and who just received tryout contracts
Overall, while the Giants filled many needs, especially with their early picks, I do not think they maximized the picks they had in this draft. Specifically in Round 5 I think they could have traded down in the round and grabbed another 6th Rounder this year and maybe a 5th or 6th next year and still landed Thompson. You had teams like Green Bay looking to trade up so it is not like there was nothing on the table. I also do not like that we did nothing about adding a run stuffer next to Hankins. Collins was thought of as a first round pick, but I am not sure the Giants were in a position that they could sacrifice picks to make the trade even though there were, admittedly, not many options between picks 108 and 144 that would have helped at 108 (Hardison and Shaw being the only ones that spring to mind). This really appears to be a 3 player draft with Day 3 all about Special Teams and for the Giants to have success down the road they really need all 3 to contribute because they cannot go on having situations like they have now averaging less than 1 player per year from 2004-2011 drafts still on the roster

Glenn Lewis is back. The Grammy Award nominee and Juno Award winner is preparing the release of his sophomore album Moment of Truth featuring guest appearances from Roc Nation songstress Melanie Fiona and beats by Grammy award-winning multi-platinum producers Dre & Vidal (Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Destiny's Child, Robin Thicke, Jill Scott) DJ Camper (Keyshia Cole, Tamar Braxton), Carvin Haggins & Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Justin Timberlake, Raheem Devaughn), Certifyd (Lil Wayne, Meek Mill) and up-and-coming producers Matrax. Stand-out tracks include the island vibe tinged, "All My Love," where Lewis teamed with fellow Toronto native Melanie Fiona for a duet that recalls the chemistry of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
In 2002, Glenn Lewis took the R&B music world by storm with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, World Outside My Window (Epic Records). The project spawned the popular singles "It's Not Fair" and "Don't You Forget It," with the latter peaking at #4 on the Billboard charts, landing the new crooner on a nationwide tour with mega starlet Alicia Keys.
Moment of Truth will be released October 15th, 2013 on Ruffhouse Records, the label that brought us The Fugees and Lauryn Hill. Lewis makes a confident and dynamic return to the spotlight with the first single, "Can't Say Love" which finds the singer inextricably caught up in a love triangle, currently #2 most added at Urban AC Radio. Watch the video below.

Dual-booting Linux, but Keeping It Hidden
Does anyone know of such a distro, or a way to do it? A LiveCD just won't fill the niche.
02-09-2006 #2
One way you could pull this off is to install a separate harddrive, unplug the XP drive, and install Linux onto the Master Boot Record of the new drive. Most modern BIOSes I've dealt with allow you to select the boot device with some sort of function key at boot (like F12). That way if you set your default boot device to the XP drive, you'd never know (unless of course you noticed the extra harddrive with "unknown healthy partition" on it).Registered Linux user #270181

When I first used SuSE a few years ago, I installed it alongside Windows 98 but put the bootloader on a floppy (which was a standard option in YaST). So if I booted with the floppy in the drive, it would load Linux (assuming the boot order is floppy before HDD). Without the floppy, the regular boot loader installed by Windows on the hard disk just booted straight to Windows, no questions asked.Stand up and be counted as a Linux user!

Oooh... thats perfect! How do I put the boot loader on a floppy disk with Knoppix? Anyone?
02-09-2006 #5
See the grub documentation.
Another option would be to edit your menu.lst file so Windows will boot automatically.
Set the timer to 0.
Or see here for a hiddenmenu option.

I would have to suggest the same. However, in my case, I would much rather "hide" both OSes for two reasons: 1) deter everyone else from using my box, as it has the best performance in the house and 2) Only those in the know could get into it. Though I haven't set up my box like this (yet) - and if you're interested in my take on it - I'd first hide the Linux bootloader as described by budman7, then with the Windows loader set up a false disk to boot from inside boot.ini and set that timer also to 0.
As a result, the computer should constantly reboot until you force it to go into your OS of choice.....theoretically. Then again, if M$ changed something about their bootloader since I've actually used it, this might be a bunch a crockery.

The first of three public meetings on the future of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County was held Tuesday at the main branch in downtown Youngstown.
New library director Heidi Daniel has been seeking public input on what patrons would like to see over the next six years. She will combine Tuesday's input with a survey done by patrons earlier this year and small focus groups that were held.
"We are looking closely at the services we offer," said Daniel. "How people connect with us. Where people connect with us and how we might better serve the entire county and how we might get new ideas that might drag people in that have never been in our buildings before."
The next meeting will take place Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Austintown Library and Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Newport Library.

The third-floor dining terrace at the newly revamped Santa Monica Place mall opened with a wine bar, a Spanish restaurant, a sushi restaurant, a Mexican place, a pizzeria and more, some of them from relatively big-name chefs. What to try first? I went for the exotic, Xino from Bay Area chef Chris Yeo.
I remember Straits Café, his San Francisco Malaysian restaurant from years ago. Since then, the Singapore-born chef has become a brand name with restaurants in Burlingame, Calif., San Jose, Atlanta and Houston. This is his first venture in Southern California.
We ride up in the elevator to the third floor and get out at what looks like a park on the roof with miles of sky all around. I can't help but be flabbergasted at what they've done with this vast space with its meandering paths, benches that glow like fireflies, stylish outdoor seating for a reinvented food court — and a collection of midlevel to high-end restaurants.
Xino is toward the rear. Past the entrance is a skinny dining room with a giant photo mural of a reclining tattooed seductress as landscape. But who would want to eat inside when there's an entire outdoor patio beckoning, complete with outdoor bar and a view?

Not a big fan how the Prius looks, either. ;) But I like the idea of the mileage and all. I might have to look closer at the Hybrids...

Getting a Prius will take his gasoline bill from $400 per month down to $100 per month. That pays for the car.

The only creepy thing about them is that you can't hear them driving through a parking lot. You could walk out in front of one real easily. So watch out for pedestrians!Normhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119836512888641857.post-30998387919608916442008-04-02T19:06:00.000-07:002008-04-02T19:06:00.000-07:00You are a model for us all sir!

We have stuff here in IL called snow and quite honestly the piles of snow at the end of my driveway that the plows make are bigger than your car.

But don't think you are somehow better than the rest of us because you drive a Hybrid!

Enjoy that drive to work on 1.5 gallons of gas!Tinman105https://firstname.lastname@example.com

Aston Villa: Paul Lambert and players speak about meeting Tom Hanks
July 26, 2012
Have you got any advice for playing Forest next week, Mr Hanks?
When Paul met Tom is a far-fetched plot Hollywood would be proud of.
But Villa's manager was delighted to roll out the claret and blue carpet for the megastar supporter in Portland.
Lambert was struck by the humility of Hanks and the world-renowned actor's enthusiasm for all things Villa during their pre-match chat on the touchline at the Jeld Wen Field.
"He's really good, he's a really humble guy from what I saw when I spoke to him."
"There's not too many times in your life you actually meet people of that stature and I was really fortunate to meet him. He spoke to me about Villa."
"I asked him how it came about and how he's a fan of Villa and he told me a little bit of the background of it."
"He's a really nice man for the stature he is and the world star he is."
"The players would have seen him because he was on the pitch before the game. But I don't think they got the chance to talk to him. He's a world star."
Matthew Lowton revealed the team thought it was a wind-up when one of the players said Hanks, one of Tinseltown's most famous figures, would be in attendance.
"It was very surreal seeing Tom Hanks in the tunnel before the game," said Lowton.
"To have such a massive film star like that supporting the team is great."
"On the bus when we pulled up one of the lads said Tom Hanks is coming and everyone just laughed it off."
"When we saw him we were all taken aback because obviously he's such a huge star."
"We saw him in the tunnel just as we were walking on and he wished us good luck."
"I didn't know he was a Villa fan."
Hanks and Black Sabbath Bassist Geezer Butler, another celebrity Villa fan, posed with both teams before kick-off on a star-studded evening in the Rose City.
"I'm a major fan of his, I think we all are," added Lowton.
"He's had some fantastic movies over the years. I think we reeled off ten to 15 fantastic films he's done and that's just off the top of our heads. So for someone as big as that to come and watch us is brilliant."

School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-For as long as she can remember, Jess has been friends with Bizza and Char. Lately, however, she has been finding that she doesn't have as much in common with them. She has become more interested in math and sewing, while the other two girls only seem interested in partying and hanging around Jess's older brother and his punk band. On their first day of sophomore year, Jess finds that her old friends have decided to go punk. In Bizza's case, this involves shaving her head and pursuing Jess's longtime crush, punk Van, and eventually performing oral sex on him at a party (contracting gonorrhea in the process). Jess decides to move on and becomes involved with a group of Dungeons and Dragons players that includes her new romantic interest, nerdy but adorable Henry. She agonizes over being called a nerd, but comes to realize that friends and how they treat each other are more important than labels. Halpern's descriptions of high-school cliques, particularly the punk posers and the D&D fanatics, are hilarious and believable, and characters who seem to fit particular stereotypes suddenly show unexpected traits. The story's theme could easily become cliched, but this novel is particularly strong in showing how teen friendships evolve and sometimes die away, and how adolescents redefine themselves.-Kathleen E.

Book list Jess loves audiobooks, sewing skirts, and the first day of school. She even gets along with her family, including Barrett, her rock-god older brother. She is, in short, a nerd, and feels immediate dread when she starts to grow apart from her two best friends, Bizza and Char, who underwent a punk makeover to fit in with Barrett's band. After Bizza goes after Jess' longtime crush and winds up with an STD, Jess ends the friendship. Karma, like Bizza, can be a bitch. With no clique to hang out with, Jess is lulled into the clutches of the Dungeons & Dragons crowd and finds herself falling for one of them! Halpern (Get Well Soon, 2007) realistically writes about teens coming to terms with their coming-of-age. Jess is anxious about embracing her inner nerdlinger, but emerges from the transformation secure in her self worth and seeking out the people who will support her. Reinvention is rarely so delightfully nerdy.--Jones, Courtney Copyright 2009 Booklist

Publishers Weekly Sophomore Jessie Sloan is having a bad year. Her two closest friends are turning punk and boy-crazed; one of them even pursues Jessie's longtime crush. To make matters worse, Jessie's beloved older brother will soon be leaving for college. Jessie feels adrift and spends her time sewing skirts and listening to audiobooks. Halpern's (Get Well Soon) story picks up pace when class nerd Dottie introduces Jessie to Dungeons and Dragons, which Jessie (to her surprise) actually enjoys, leading her to a new group of friends as well as a heartfelt, if a little cliched, crush on a cute boy with his own nerdish tendencies. Jessie is a thoughtful, sympathetic narrator ("How is it that someone becomes a dork?... What makes some people like punk music and Denny's and other people like costumes and Dungeons and Dragons?"), and her fresh voice will reveal to readers just how independent and exceptional she is (even when Jessie can't see it herself). The relationships and dialogue ring true; readers navigating the stratified social structures of high school will relish an ending that celebrates true friendship. Ages 12-up. (Oct.)

"I bought my daughter a pair of UGG boots. I do not shop online but this time I decided to do so through your company. I was very impressed with how the service representatives answered my 100 questions. No matter how many times I called back, with yet another question, I was always greeted and given the personal attention as if I was the only phone call they had to answer. Whenever I called it was always refreshing to speak with a live person instead of a computer. Your company kept me in the loop by emailing me, I did not have to do follow up calls. Even when I had to return the boots for another style and size there was not attitude, just courtesy. I will be shopping from your company again, and believe me, I have already started telling people about Footwear etc. Keep up the good work"
