9 Women Share Who Paid For What At Their Weddings
From the Pinterest-inspired dream venue to that rustic tablescape (what's a table without bundles of lavender bound with twine?) to a DJ who plays just the right amount of your playlist while still appeasing the parents with enough oldies — weddings can be expensive AF. According to the latest survey from Hitched, the average wedding in the UK now costs over £32k — and that's excluding honeymoon expenses. So who exactly is footing these bills?First, we asked six millennial women how much their weddings cost, and now we're getting into the nitty-gritty. Ahead, we asked ten more millennial women: Who paid for what at your wedding, and how did you feel about the payment breakdown?Name: EmilyAge: 29Location: Phoenix, AZHow much did your wedding cost? About $165,000 (£148,200) for marriage prep and church-related costs, ceremony, and reception (including fireworks!)What was the payment breakdown?"My parents paid for basically everything. I paid for a few little 'extras,' like my bridesmaids' gifts, but I lost my job a month after getting engaged, so I didn't have an income for about half of the time I was wedding planning. I would have liked to contribute more, but it just wasn't in the cards, and my parents were very generous. My husband paid for my engagement ring, our engagement trip to Canada, his tuxedo and groomsman-related items, and his portion of the bachelor party. My husband's mum paid for and hosted our rehearsal dinner for 75 guests. My husband's dad gave us $5,000 (£4k) toward our honeymoon. Everything else my parents paid for."How did you feel about it?"It was just always understood that my parents would be paying, but I still often felt guilty about how much everything cost. But my parents, my husband, and I all agreed very early on that we wanted a big, fun wedding, and that's just expensive! I am incredibly grateful that they were about to give us such a wonderful day, and really a wonderful ten-month engagement full of showers, wedding-dress fittings, a bachelorette party, etc. Since I wasn't working, I would have had to forgo a lot of that stuff in the moment, and they made it possible for me to just enjoy it and not worry about the cost."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"I am incredibly lucky that my parents were willing and able to foot the bill for our entire wedding and beyond (engagement photos, etc.). If they hadn't been able to, our wedding probably would have looked a lot different, and probably would have been postponed. My husband and I are aggressively paying back his six-figure student debt, so a lavish 200+ person wedding would not have been in the cards. I don't think it is anyone's responsibility, and I also don't think that you should go into debt for it. If you can't afford a big party, don't have one. It's the marriage that is important, not the wedding. (I know, I know, easy for me to say, I got both.)"Name: MollieAge: 29Location: Saint Paul, MNHow much did your wedding cost? $42,000 (£33,702)What was the payment breakdown?"My now-husband and I already had combined finances. My mom paid for most of my dress and the fee for the church rental. My dad paid the catering bill for his side of the family (nine people at $121 [£97] a person). My husband and I picked up extra work shifts and paid for everything else. We put roughly $5,000 (£4k) on credit cards and just busted our butts to pay the rest."How did you feel about the payment breakdown for your wedding?"I feel like if we did it again, I would have had a smaller wedding at a less trendy place. But I feel fine with the breakdown."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"I think the bride and groom should always pay. If you're responsible enough to get married, you should be responsible enough to budget and pay for it. I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my family to financially support me."Name: KrishnaAge: 29Location: Philadelphia, PAHow much did your wedding cost? About $5,000 (£4k)What was the payment breakdown?"My lengha (Indian bridal dress) cost about $900 (£7,223), and my husband's sherwani was $200 (£160) (ugh, hand embroidery/sexism). We bought beer and wine to our BYO venue that cost us about $300 (£240) for 35 people. We also purchased a cake from a local baker for about $150 (£120). Our ceremony venue was free, given that it was at a public courthouse. I spent about $50 (£40.13) on a blowout, $50 on a mani/pedi (which my aunts covered), and about $200 (£160) on mehndi for myself and my aunts and girl cousins. I also catered pizza and salad for the mehndi artists for about $75 (£60). I did my own makeup with my best friend/MOH's help. We spent about $3,000 (£2,407) on the reception venue — a local Italian restaurant. My grandmother paid for $500 (£401) of my dress, and I used gift cards from my sweet and generous coworkers for the alcohol. My husband's family ended up stealthily footing the bill for the reception/dinner, which was entirely unexpected and way too kind. In sum, this wasn't all out-of-pocket from my husband and me alone (though we intended it to be when we were planning)."How did you feel about it?"Phenomenally. My husband and I were getting really nervous about the mounting costs of the wedding, because we initially felt pressured to host a three- to five-day Indian/Pakistani (Desi) wedding in keeping with tradition and our families' wishes. I discussed the matter with my family members, and they urged me to do whatever I felt comfortable with. My husband and I discussed the matter a couple of times before deciding on an 'elopement' in the courthouse. It was intimate, affordable, and relatively stress-free."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"I think it depends on the people and their families to make that decision. Ideally, it's a group effort. In Desi weddings, for example, there are typically several events, and different sides of the family host depending on which event it is. Ultimately, if the cost is shared across two people and their families, it's less of a burden on any one person. It takes a village."Name: NicoleAge: 29Location: Los Angeles, CAHow much is your wedding going to cost? We are still finalising the wedding, but it's looking like it's going to cost around $15,000 (£12,000).What's the payment breakdown?"My partner's parents were kind and gave us $10,000 (£8,026) toward the wedding. My parents are not in the same financial situation and offered to give money, but we ultimately turned it down. Any additional costs will likely be paid by my partner as he has more savings, but I will help where I can."How do you feel about it?"I feel guilty about not contributing more, but in the long run, we will be sharing an income and I make more money than he does. It's our money now, not his versus mine."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"It should be a shared decision and responsibility — if it's all going into the same pot after you're married, it doesn't really matter who spends the most."Name: EmilyAge: 24Location: Phoenix, AZHow much is your wedding going to cost? Hopefully under $10,000 (£8026)What's the payment breakdown?"We are paying for pretty much everything. My mum and grandma bought my dress, and my fiancé's mom is paying for the bar, which is amazing because none of them are wealthy. My dad and his wife say they are going to pay for the venue, but they didn't give us a budget to work with and now can't seem to remember offering to pay for it. We saw this happening, though, and picked a place we could afford on our own. They have flaked on paying for things they've promised in the past, so we didn't want to get in over our heads if they did, which it looks like they will. We also refuse to go into debt for this day, so everything we have paid for has been in cash."How do you feel about it?"I feel okay about it. I wish my dad would have followed through with helping, but I didn't ever really think that was going to happen."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"I feel like we are responsible for paying. We want a nice wedding and don't want anyone holding the fact that they paid over our heads to get what they want. So other than the few very generous things our moms are doing, we are covering everything. If my dad does come through paying for something, then great, and if not, we are planning on fully paying for everything."Name: KarenAge: 27Location: Los Angeles, CAHow much did your wedding cost? ~$15,000 (£12,039)What was the payment breakdown?"My parents paid around $10,000 (£8,026). This covered the venue and decor. We had our wedding in a backyard and put up a huge tent. The tent alone was around $5,000 (£4,013). (We had just under 230 guests.) The rest of my parents' budget went into table and chair rentals, flowers, fancy cups that I insisted on having, table covers, table runners, etc. My husband and I paid around $5,000 (£4,013). We covered the photographer, which ended up being only $2,100 (£1,685) after a very generous friend discount. My dress was only $1,000 (£802), purchased off a bride on Tradesy who didn't end up wearing her dress. Food for our wedding was only around $2,500 (£2,006), due to the fact that we served tacos! I absolutely hate traditional wedding food, so my husband and I decided on tacos, and everyone loved it! My husband's tux was around $100 (£80) (through a friend discount). Our honeymoon was paid for by my in-laws. My sister-in-law paid for our invites, and my husband's aunt, who owns a bakery, made our wedding cake as a gift to us."How did you feel about it?"I felt it was fair, considering I wanted to elope, but my parents insisted on me having a bigger celebration. Both my parents and my in-laws were very generous."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"I think the couple is responsible for paying for the type of wedding that they want. If a couple has a small budget, then their wedding should be planned according to that budget. My husband and I didn't expect our families to help pay for things, but we accepted every offer that came our way. "Name: AshleyAge: 34Location: Chicago, ILHow much did your wedding cost? $120,000 (£96,313) (includes honeymoon)What was the payment breakdown?"My mom contributed approximately $22,000 (£17,657), and my husband's family contributed approximately $27,000 (£21,670). The rest was paid for by my husband and me. The money was kind of pooled into a general fund, and we paid for things as they came up. The only traditional things where our parents paid directly were my wedding dress (my mom paid) and the rehearsal dinner (my husband's parents paid). Otherwise, we just asked our parents for money as the bills started coming in."How did you feel about it?"I thought it was extremely generous of my husband's family to contribute as much as they did, even though it may not be customary for the groom's family to pay. We definitely spent a little too much on the wedding, but it was an amazing day, and we're very lucky our parents were so generous."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"There's no right answer to this. I think that it's based on the family situation. If everyone is able to contribute, then I don't see why traditional norms should prevent that. My in-laws were happy to contribute because it was their guests just as much as it was ours. I think age plays a role as well. We were in our 30s when we got married and were established in our careers making good money, so we spent quite a bit of money ourselves. Our parents insisted on helping, and we greatly appreciate that, but we could have paid for it on our own."Name: MaryAge: 29Location: Greensboro, NCHow much is your wedding going to cost? $40,000 (£32,104)What's the payment breakdown?"We had $30,000 (£24,078) from my family (inherited specifically for a wedding — the joys of being the only grandchild!), which was an amazing start, and we've put that toward the big purchases: venue, food, and booze. My fiancé has some savings and is willing to help pay, so he's been put in charge of buying my dress and his suit, and I'm paying for most other little things. As of right now his family hasn't offered to help, but we also haven't asked. (He's one of four boys, and I don't feel comfortable expecting his family to pay for anything.)"How do you feel about it?"I'm fairly happy with it. I know I'm extremely lucky to have a family that has that kind of money and is willing to spend it on me. I'm definitely feeling some guilt for spending this much on a wedding, but it helps that my fiancé and I are also putting some money down for things that we really want."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"I think whoever in the wedding who has the highest expectations is responsible for paying! If the two people getting married just want to have a city hall wedding, and the parents (or grandparents, or friends!) of either of them want a big bash, then those people should be the ones offering to pay. And of course, vice versa. Also, while I love a great party, I don't think anyone should go into debt for a wedding."Name: CaitlinAge: 27Location: San Jose, CAHow much did your wedding cost? $40,000 (£32,104)What was the payment breakdown?"My husband and I paid for $15,000 (£12,039), my in-laws footed the bill for a mere $5,000 (£4,013), and my parents paid the rest of the wedding tab."How did you feel about it?"It was a bit unequal. My parents were forced to pick up quite a bit of unexpected payments, but it all came together to be a happy occasion. My in-laws ended up throwing us an unexpected rehearsal dinner party, so it smoothed a bit of the tension."Who do you think is responsible for paying, and why?"I think we as the bride and groom should be responsible for the bulk of the wedding payment, but we're so lucky that our parents ended up covering many of the wedding costs to give us the winery wedding of our dreams."Like what you see?

Our Obsession With Sleeping Well Is Stopping Us From Sleeping
For many of us, a midweek morning routine consists of a couple of alarm snoozes, a fairly lengthy Instagram scroll, a cup of PG Tips and a hefty dose of dry shampoo. But for 29-year-old London-based yoga teacher Indi, it's a different story. For the last three months, Indi's routine on waking has been to check her smartwatch for feedback on how she'd slept. She'd then feel frustrated and inevitably exhausted for the rest of the day as the stats on the screen glaringly told her she'd had just four hours and 41 minutes of 'deep sleep'.Indi says she bought her fitness tracking watch to measure her activity levels but, having always been a poor sleeper, decided to give its slumber tracking credentials a go. In the last few years she's tried everything from the science-approved (meditation) to the more holistic (think: valerian root supplements, CBD, moon milk) but nothing's worked. "I thought my watch would help me," she says, "but it ended up having the opposite effect."She says the stats were interesting at first but quickly became an obsession. "I found myself under pressure to fall asleep and stay asleep, just so it would show good results. It was stressful knowing something was there monitoring my sleep. I was constantly waking up and conscious of not moving around too much when I was in bed." At around the three-week mark, Indi noticed the quantity, and quality, of her sleep had plummeted.Like Indi, us Brits have become a nation obsessed with our snooze time and business is booming, not just in the sleep tracker department. According to a 2017 report, the sleep-health industry is worth $40bn, growing by more than 8% globally every year. From £500 breath-synced sleep robots to thermo-regulating PJs and soothing smart rings, the latest insomnia-busting tech promises the perfect night's sleep. Millions of us are tuning into meditation app Calm's Sleep Stories on a nightly basis; Blue Gold, the app's most popular slumber-inducing fable, narrated by Stephen Fry, has been listened to over 15 million times.If your sleep tracker tells you you've had four hours of poor quality sleep – even if the truth is far from this – the chances are this will psychologically impact your mood, energy levels and productivity the following day.But as gadgets proliferate, so do concerns. Like hitting your daily steps or counting macros on MyFitnessPal, sleep has fast become yet another metric we're tracking via our tech, and it appears we may be taking it a little too seriously. Meet: orthosomnia, a term coined in a 2017 case report in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. The word stems from 'ortho' meaning straight or correct, and 'somnia' meaning sleep. In short, it's a condition affecting those who obsess over their sleep. The researchers chose the term, they write, "because the perfectionist quest to achieve perfect sleep is similar to the unhealthy preoccupation with healthy eating, termed orthorexia".Like orthorexia, orthosomnia is not yet a recognised disorder, although Dr Nicola Barclay, lecturer in sleep medicine at the University of Oxford, believes the tide is turning. "Orthosomnia is a genuine condition and a real worry, especially as people rely increasingly on sleep trackers, most of which are wildly inaccurate, giving a very poor estimate of your real sleep. If your sleep tracker tells you you've had four hours of poor quality sleep – even if the truth is far from this – the chances are this will psychologically impact your mood, energy levels and productivity the following day. It's this reliance that creates a vicious cycle and will negatively impact on your sleep," she explains.Barclay's other issue with sleep trackers is their inability to decipher individual sleep needs. "We've become fixated on eight hours of sleep as the Holy Grail but this is a counterproductive fixation. The majority of us need between six-and-a-half to eight hours' sleep every night, but it's not the case for everyone. Some might only need four or five hours." Plus, you might not actually be as sleep deprived as the headlines say. We may not get enough quality sleep, but the average nightly slumber hasn't changed much over the last 100 years – around seven hours has been the average for decades.So should we ditch the sleep tracker? Quite possibly. Orthosomnia appears to be one symptom of an industry that has left us mere mortals with more data than we know what to do with. If you already suffer from insomnia, it could be a recipe for disaster. Barclay explains that the typical insomniac is a type-A personality, and daily stats reminding you of your sleep shortcomings may well exacerbate these perfectionist tendencies.If you think you may be suffering from orthosomnia, it pays to go back to basics. Dr Julius Bourke, consultant neuropsychiatrist at Re:Cognition Health, emphasises the importance of establishing a solid sleep routine without a sleep tracker. "Stop relying on tech and create consistency in the run-up to bedtime. A bath, bedtime story and lullaby is a classic example of a good routine – remember we all had to learn to sleep the way we expect to as adults. Our brains respond well to these cues, whether we are infants or adults." His number one tip? Aim for the same 'lights out' time every night and set your alarm for the same time each morning – no weekend lie-ins allowed (these can wreak havoc with circadian rhythms, FYI).Is there ever a place for a sleep tracker? The jury's out. Both Barclay and Bourke say a certain level of number crunching can be beneficial to those looking to brush up on their sleep hygiene, just be sure to take any 'sleep scores' with a pinch of salt. A healthier, and arguably more sustainable practice, is to keep a sleep diary, monitoring snooze patterns and behaviour with, believe it or not, a pen and paper.

MP raising awareness of 'Everyday Banking'
CEREDIGION MP Ben Lake has teamed up with the Post Office, UK Finance and 26 banks to raise awareness of the banking services available to constituents at their local Post Office.
The 'Everyday Banking at the Post Office' service means customers, including small businesses, can now pay in cash and cheques or take out money from their high street bank account over the counter at the Post Office, helping people have ready access to cash to meet their financial needs and supporting the local economy.
The Post Office has more than 900 branches nationwide, and with 95% of people in Wales living within three miles of a Post Office of people in the UK living within just three miles of a Post Office, there are now more places to bank than ever before for millions of customers. Everyday Banking at the Post Office is supported by the retail banking sector and is complementary to the services available at their branches. The service is available to customers whenever the Post Office is open, which in many locations includes evenings and Sundays. There is no additional cost for personal or business customers, with most customers only needing a card and PIN to withdraw cash and a pre-printed paying-in slip to deposit.
Ben Lake MP said: "This is a really important service for many of my constituents who prefer to do their banking in person rather than online, and especially given the litany of bank closures we have suffered in recent years. In Ceredigion, 'Everyday Banking at the Post Office' is available at 50 Post Office branches and has been used 208,135 times in the last year."
"It is easy to see why this is such an important service to so many, and over the coming months I will be working with the Post Office and the retail banking sector to ensure that this service is developed further for my constituents."
Martin Kearsley, Banking Services Director at the Post Office, said: "It's great to have Ben Lake MP highlight the Post Office's trusted network of 11,500 branches which means we are uniquely placed to bring vital services to local communities right across the country. It's a responsibility that we take very seriously, and it's why we have secured continued access to almost every UK bank account through all of our branches, in partnership with the banking industry. So whether there is a bank branch nearby or not, we are here to offer a range of every day banking services in all our Post Office branches. From cash deposits and withdrawals, to balance enquiries, we want to make life as easy as possible; not only for the Ceredigion community, but for the millions of customers and small businesses who use us every day nationwide."
Eric Leenders, Managing Director Personal Banking at UK Finance, said: "Helping people manage their money is vitally important. That is why all the major banks offer everyday banking services through thousands of Post Offices, enabling their customers to pay in cash and cheques, check their balance and withdraw money at their local branch. At the same time banks are investing in new technology to give people the option of doing their banking at a time and place that is convenient to them.
"By joining forces with the UK's retail banks and the Post Office we are hoping to bring Everyday Banking Services to even more customers."

New Quay RNLI lifeboat crew trains with lifeguards
NEW QUAY lifeboat station hosted a special training evening with the lifeboat crew and Ceredigion's RNLI lifeguards last week.
Pete Yates, one of New Quay RNLI's inshore lifeboat helms, worked closely with Ceredigion lifeguard supervisor, Tirion Dowsett, to plan scenarios for the teams to practice working together in casualty care situations.
A large scale scenario included four casualties to be dealt with by the inshore lifeboat crew and two lifeguard teams on a nearby beach, whilst a third lifeguard team and lifeboat crew members dealt with a separate scenario at the lifeboat station.
Pete said: "It was a great evening of training. We had 9 lifeguards and 13 lifeboat crew in attendance.
"The main scenario included casualties suffering from hypothermia and propeller injuries. A second scenario involved a mechanic suffering head injuries in the forepeak of the all-weather lifeboat and requiring extraction on a stretcher.
"On completion of these scenarios we all gathered back at the station where one of our senior crew members sprung a great act at being a diabetic having a hypo, and being suitably angry and aggressive."
Roger Couch, New Quay RNLI's Lifeboat Operations Manager, added: "It was great for our lifeboat crew members to work with the lifeguards as it builds a deeper understanding of each other's roles and encourages teamwork between us. This is of great benefit when dealing with real life casualty care situations."
Coastguard rescues dog stuck on cliffs
LAST TUESDAY (Aug 27), New Quay RNLI's inshore D-class lifeboat, Audrey LJ, was tasked by Milford Haven Coastguard to assist the Coastguard with a dog stuck on the cliffs near New Quay.
The volunteer crew launched the inshore lifeboat at 1.50pm with four crew members on board and made their way south down the coast.
Brett Stones, New Quay RNLI's helm said: "We located the dog on the cliffs by Castell Bach, near Cwmtydu. We stood by while the Coastguard team caught the animal. The dog was unharmed and safe with the Coastguard so we were stood down.
"However, while returning to station we were then tasked to a small vessel with engine failure. We towed the stricken boat with three people on board back to New Quay. We rehoused the inshore lifeboat and it was ready for service by 2.40pm."
New maintenance Lorries cut carbon emissions
The Ground Maintenance Team has purchased three new lorries to support ground maintenance services in Ceredigion.
The new lorries will move Ceredigion County Council's Ground Maintenance Service's equipment to and from the grounds that they look after. The lorries will also take cut grass away for composting. This provides the most efficient way of maintaining the areas that the team is responsible for.
Councillor Dafydd Edwards is the Cabinet member responsible for Highways and Environmental Services together with Housing. He said: "The new vehicles replace ones which had provided excellent service for almost 20 years. They are fitted with Euro 6 engines which are considerably more efficient and better for the environment."
The Grounds Maintenance Team is also incrementally introducing electric-powered mowers, blowers, hedge cutters and strimmers into its fleet. This equipment is better for the environment, is easier to use and causes less noise and vibration.
The new lorries support Ceredigion County Council's commitment to be a net-zero carbon council by 2030.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Andy Virgil
There's really no information about Andy Virgil that I've been able to find. He seems to have arrived on the scene around 1955 out of nowhere. Perhaps he was honing his skills, uncredited, on advertising work? But where and for whom remains a mystery at this point.
5 comments:
Apropos of nothing, that EXACT chair was on Antiques Roadshow last night, a Charles Eames by Herman Miller. Still had the original fabric, which was that odd olive green color in the illustration. Caught my eye immediately.ReplyDelete
Great illustration...that pose says everything it needs to. Terrific!ReplyDelete
(Am I the only one who reads the stories that go with the illustrations and wish that the rest of it were available somewhere? I'm always wondering what happened next... :))
lynsa; I've heard from the ever knowledgable David Apatoff, of Illustration Art blog fame ( see my sidebar) that many illustrators who did this type of work haunted the antique shops of New York City for props like this chair. Its very likely that the artist posed his model on that actual chair and didn't just "fake" it from a photo.ReplyDelete
chrissie a; you are not alone! the afore mentioned Mr. Apatoff (and others) have lamented the fact that my scans leave them hanging - but I'd be scanning all night as well as all day if I provided all the remaining story pages! I'm sorry I can't help all you readers out there, but I encourage you to put your pent-up creativity to use and write your own ending. ;-)
Leif, if one purpose of a good illustration is to make you want to turn the page and read the story, you are heartless to show us all these great illustrations and thwart us from finding out what happens!ReplyDelete
(On the other hand, I have to tell Chrissie A that my wife and I once bought a romantic John Gannam illustration and we were so curious about the story that we got the 1954 Good Housekeeping magazine in which it appeared. The story turned out to have such a terrible ending that my wife can't stand the painting any more. So sometimes we're better off not knowing!)
Ha! That's a funny story, David - and just confirms my suspicions that I'm sparing you all from lame and unhappy endings. ;-)ReplyDelete

"The Goodwin Games" is family comedy debuting as a late midseason replacement with only a seven-episode order.
So even at Fox, a network not known for hit comedies, hopes are not high.
On the other hand, there is a lot of talk these days of rethinking the old models of American television, including making the standard network season (22 to 24 episodes) more like the cable model of 10 to 12. At this year's upfronts, where networks roll out their new fall lineups for advertisers in New York City, Fox discussed several "limited" or "event" series.
FULL COVERAGE: Television reviews
On British television, a three- or four-episode season is not unheard of, although more customary on government-funded BBC. A shorter season, the argument goes, takes the pressure off, allowing writers and actors to create more intricate and vivid stories.
Which, it must be noted and quickly, is not what's happening with "The Goodwin Games."
The story, however, does seem particularly well suited for a finite amount of screen time. After the death of their eccentric father, Benjamin (Beau Bridges, seen often drinking from a conch), the disparate and desperate Goodwin children assemble for the funeral and the reading of the will.
There's Henry (Scott Foley), the controlling and overly scheduled surgeon; Chloe (Becki Newton) the former math whiz turned now-defunct popular girl; and Jimmy (T.J. Miller), a goofy and broke ex-con. Benjamin was not, as it turns out, a very good father, and none of his children wants anything to do with one another. So of course Dad's last act will be to bring them back together, in a uniquely sitcom way.
To inherit his strangely large fortune, the Goodwin kids must compete in a series of competitions — winner takes all. The "games" were all devised by Benjamin, who offers direction and commentary from beyond the grave via a series of videotapes that seem more reflective of an obsessively observant and caring parent than an absent, emotionally stunted one. But who isn't happy to see Beau Bridges on-screen doing anything?
Equal parts stupid and sweet, "The Goodwin Games" does not appear to be built for the long haul. (Honestly, how many episodes of three adults playing games from which they learn that they really do love one another can viewers take?)
The ties formed in childhood, however misshapen they may be, are strong. "Ben and Kate," the fall comedy Fox recently took off the air, crafted a more subtle and meaningful message out of the same theme but could not find an audience.
"The Goodwin Games" has the benefit of "Scandal"-sizzled Foley, and though often goofy in an exhausting way, it has flashes of charm to it. If Fox promised that a winner would be declared by the end of seven episodes, that would help too.

When: 8:30 p.m. Monday

Use our giant map above to find the seagull you seek. Each number in the map corresponds with a paragraph and two screens about said seagull below. Use the three sources (map, images and text) in conjunction with one another to pinpoint the precise location of the seagull you seek.
Seagull #1[edit]
Head to the far northeast corner of the borough of Alderney. Off of Beaverhead Avenue, there is a dirt road that splits into two other dirt roads, so that there are three of them total hanging off of the eastern end of Beaverhead Avenue. Walk along the cliffs of the westernmost branch of the dirt road. Near the precipice, you will find this seagull.
Seagull #2[edit]
The western edge of Beaverhead Avenue at the northern end of Alderney holds the next seagull. Get out of your car on Beaverhead Avenue south of where Big Horn Drive runs into the road. Then, go along the water facing westward. You'll see this seagull sitting atop the anti-erosion wall before you reach the dock. Fell it.
Seagull #3[edit]
Near the northeastern end of Alderney, there's a rather large police station. It's located off of Franklin Street. Head into the parking area of the police station (this is the same place where you stole a prison bus during an in-game mission) and look at the grassy island in the middle of the lot. The seagull is sitting there, waiting to be massacred.
Seagull #4[edit]
This one's a little complicated to get, which is why our screenshots below might help you out. On the western edge of Alderney, Panhandle Road runs horizontally across the borough. On the far west, it runs straight into Plumbers Skyway. Instead of continuing onto the Skyway, use one of the off-ramps that lead northward towards Manzano Road and Long John Avenue. In the middle of the westernmost off-ramp and Manzano Road, you can find this seagull. Look on the right edge of the road as you drive northward.
Seagull #5[edit]
On the eastern edge of Alderney, due north of the Booth Tunnel entrance, you'll find a winding road called Applewhite Street. Approach this street heading from the south and going towards the north. If you do this, you'll find this seagull sitting atop a glass bus stop on your right. Execute it by getting out of your car if you so desire, though a simple drive-by will do the trick as well.
Seagull #6[edit]
Are you familiar with Plumbers Skyway? It's the road that traverses a great deal of Alderney's western coast. If you travel on Panhandle Road until it turns southward into Plumbers Skyway, you can find this seagull in a grassy area across the oncoming lane to your left, away from the water. Hiding in the bushes below the Skyway is the pigeon you seek. If you look at a map, you can find the seagull due west of Koresh Square.
Seagull #7[edit]
At the corner of a seemingly-small vertical road and Asahara Road in Alderney, you'll find a bank called LOMBANK. Once you find this bank, simply train your gun at the seagull sitting atop the LOMBANK logo above the main doors. It should be on your right, and may be obscured by the nearby tree if you're looking from an awkward angle.
Seagull #8[edit]
This one is extraordinarily easy to find compared to some of his brethren. This seagull in particular is located on the far western end of Cockerell Avenue. Before the road intersects with Vitullo Avenue (driving west-to-east), keep an eye on the left side of the road. This pigeon will be sitting atop a concrete banister next to some stairs that lead into a giant apartment building's surrounding yard.
Seagull #9[edit]
Right before Roebuck Avenue intersects with Asahara Road in Alderney, you'll find an unnamed road leading southward, that ultimately leads to a location called Port Tudor. However, if you down this road and pass the billboard on your right that says Port Tudor and then swing rightward before going through the closed gate, you'll see a trio of oil containers. Large, large oil containers. This pigeon should be sitting on a railing in front of the center oil container, the one with the large oil drop logo on it.
Seagull #10[edit]
Head to Mueri Street in Alderney, in the small section of road in between Farnsworth Road (heading westward) and Strower Avenue (heading eastward). On the west side of the road, you'll see a short concrete wall of varying heights that separates the sidewalk from a private parking lot. Sitting atop this concrete wall is the seagull you're gunning for.
Seagull #11[edit]
Plumbers Skyway marks the western end of Alderney. As you drive northward along it, you'll reach an unnamed exit ramp that ultimately connects you with Aspdin Drive. Ignore that exit ramp going northward, but after passing it, keep a keen eye on your right. You'll find this seagull sitting on a grassy knoll to the east, waiting to be capped.
Seagull #12[edit]
Head to Niblick Street, near the southern end of Alderney. Niblick Street is a vertical roadway that runs into the two-way Babbage Street, effectively ending at that point. Head to Niblick Street right before this segue happens. If you're facing north, you'll see an alleyway on your right directly before the transition occurs. This seagull should be roving around near the entrance to the alleyway. Kill it before proceeding.
Seagull #13[edit]
Take a look at your map of Alderney. You know how Alderney is an elongated borough with two fairly distinct islands? The northernmost island is by far the bigger one, but you'll want to head to the far southwestern end of it. You see three "plus sign"-looking objects on your map, surrounding a whole flurry of confusing roads? Well, head to the northern end of the plus sign that's most southeast. Then, look at the wall due north of your location, where you'll see a bright red tag on the brick wall. Atop another wall behind the defaced wall is the seagull you seek.
Seagull #14[edit]
There are three seagulls on the southernmost "island" of Alderney, the section of the borough that's separated from the rest of the landmass, connected only by Mandrel Road and Latchkey Avenue. This area is one gigantic industrial park, and you're going to head to the western edge of it to find this seagull. Get on Red Wing Avenue and keep an eye out on your right (if you're driving in a westerly direction). Eventually, you'll see a brick structure with three large metal garage doors. Atop this building is the seagull you'll want to slay.
Seagull #15[edit]
The southern edge of the Plumbers Highway loop is the key to finding this seagull. Head to the southernmost portion of the highway, and, travelling east-to-west, stop right before Nougat Street runs into the expressway. Then, look northward. You'll see a huge Globe Oil sign in the background. In the foreground, directly in front of it, are a series of blue-colored catwalks. This pigeon is sitting atop the catwalk's railing. Either run up to the catwalk and do it in at close range, or better yet, simply shoot it from the comfort of the grass below.
Seagull #16[edit]
The final seagull we'll direct you to in Alderney is probably the easiest one to find out of the sixteen in the borough. Head to the southeastern edge of the borough, and traverse the short Toggle Avenue. Near the left end of Toggle Avenue, where the road bends and begins heading due eastward, a small, unnamed road will run into Toggle Avenue itself. It's at this juncture that you'll find this seagull, sitting on the ground, walking around the entrance to a construction site.

Lindsay Lohan's half-sister has spent over $25,000 on cosmetic work in a bid to look like her famous sibling.
Ashley Horn, who is the product of a fling Lohan's father Michael had with the teenager's mother Kristi in the early 1990s, has showed off her new post-surgery look in the new issue of magazine In Touch, and she is listing all of the procedures she underwent to resemble Lindsay.
She tells the publication, "I've gotten rhinoplasty, a bit of refinement underneath my cheeks and jawline, some fat injected into my chin and some fat injected into my upper cheeks… My goal was to look like Lindsay in her good days, when she was around 18, 19 years old."
And she's thrilled with her Houston, Texas surgeon's handiwork, adding, "I'm hotter than Lindsay! I have no problem saying that."
But that's as far as she wants to go to resemble her half-sister, insisting she won't be following her to jail or rehab.
She explains, "I'm not Lindsay. I wasn't raised in that family. I don't drink, do drugs or party. I like being a responsible person."
Lohan spent much of the summer in court-ordered rehab battling substance abuse issues. The actress insists she's now clean and sober and keen to get her life back on track.

3: Delivering the Message
Examine the Topic
Now that you have read the research and viewed the video discussion on presentational communication, you will examine the topic further by looking at examples of student products and working backwards to determine how the presentational activities may have been designed.
The student work in these activities is the culmination of a four-week Russian II project called "Our Village." The overall project integrates all three communicative modes, but you will focus on the presentational tasks in these activities. The following is a description of the overall task presented to students by teacher Jane Shuffelton:
"Our Village" Task Description
We will create a village/state where we will work, govern ourselves, and discuss issues of importance to the village/state. We may decide to produce some items that we would offer commercially to a village/state in Anchorage, Alaska. Russian will be the official language of the village/state.
A. Written Presentational Task 1: A New IdentityFor this activity, each student wrote a one-paragraph description of himself or herself to send to the other citizens of the village/state. In the following interactive activity, you will read one of the student paragraphs and work backwards to try to determine the paragraph's audience, purpose, genre, and theme.
B. Written Presentational Task 2: The Village/StateFor this activity, student groups created advertisements for the new village/state to try to entice people in Alaska to join them in this new world. In the following interactive activity, you will read one of the advertisements and work backwards to try to determine the ad's audience, purpose, genre, and theme.
C. Oral Presentational TaskNow that you've examined how two written presentational tasks may have been designed, you will design an oral presentational task. Select one of the written presentational tasks and describe the final product of an oral presentational task that uses the same themes and content. Use the following questions to guide your writing:

The differentiating characteristic of the EFCV when compared to servo and proportional valves is the pressure feedback from the internal sensors. The pre ssure feedback, combined with the positional feedback from the main stage spool, allows the EFCV to control the flow rate based on the command from the supervisory controller. On the contrary, traditional servo and proportional valves do not have internal pressure feedback inside the valves themselves, and therefore cannot accurately control the flow rate across a large pressure drop spectrum.
Internal Model of the EFCV
An illustration of the pilot and mainstage spools in the EFCV is shown in Figure 3. It is important to note that for complete control of a typical power element, an additional pilot and mainstage spool is required. The embedded electronics perform the internal control, the communication between individual valves, and the communication to the supervisory controller. The EFCV has a two-stage configuration. The pilot stage, stroked by a linear force motor (voice coil), can control the pressures on the end chambers of the main stage spool while the main stage spool can then control the flow rate to the power element. In addition, the EFCV can be designed to have independent up - stream and downstream orifice control for the sake of energy savings and application flexibility.
The inverse flow mapping is used to convert the desired flow rate Q1,d to the desired spool displacement xv1,d. The error between the desired and the actual displacement is imposed on the PI controller, whose output will drive the current into the pilot valve voice coil. The controller drives the displacement error to zero. If the actual flow follows the equation above perfectly, then the flow error goes to zero as well, or Q1,c = Q1,d.
In the flow controller design, the above equation was used to approximate the actual flow rate. The equation is a widely acceptable quasi-steady-state model for the flow rate across an orifice. In the following section, an experimental study will be discussed that investigated the accuracy of the calculation.
A prototype of the EFCV was built and tested. For the hydraulic test setup, the valve was set on a fixed displacement test stand. An adjustable relief valve simulates a load on the valve. A flow meter in series with the "load" relief valve is used to measure the actual flow from that service. The type of flow meter used depends on the demanded flow in order to improve the measurement accuracy. For flows below 7 GPM, a 0.95 in3/rev meter motor was used; for flows above 7 GPM, a flow turbine was used.
Given a flow command from the supervisory controller, the "load" relief valve is adjusted so that the pressure drop between P1 and Ps is equal to some predefined value. Then the actual flow rate was measured.
Application of the EFCV: Self-Sensing Cylinder
An application for the EFCV is a selfsensing cylinder, which will estimate the piston displacement of a regular hydraulic cylinder by taking advantage of integrated sensors and flow rate calculation of the EFCV.
In the cylinder, two EFCVs connect each chamber, respectively. The sensors in the EFCVs measure the pressures, P1 and P2. The flow rates, Q1 and Q2, are calculated by using the analytical model with the experimental calibration. In addition, in order to eliminate the integration error, some deterministic displacement information is required (an absolute start position). For instance, a latch sensor could be installed so that the output voltage is high when the piston displacement xp = 0 and is low as xp ≠ 0.
Due to the combined effect of the flow rate and the load applied to the cylinder, the actual displacement is the sinusoidal signal with the higher frequency oscillation. At t=0.1 [sec], the latch sensor is enabled and then enforcing the error to be zero. Without the latch sensor, the observer will still give the similar displacement profile but with an offset error. Integrated pressure sensors and the experimentally calibrated flow rates in the EFCV, together with the proposed observer, make it possible to implement the self-sensing cylinder.
Due to the embedded sensors and microcontroller inside the valve, the flow rate can be controlled through the power elements without the need to know the load or the displacement condition from the power elements. The flow controller utilizes the well-known quasi-steady flow rate equation to approximate the actual flow rate in the internal closed-loop system.
Experimental studies show that the one equation model with constant parameters is not accurate enough to cover all conditions. In particular, for the low-flow-rate, high-pressure-drop case, the flow error calculation is significant. An experiment-based calibration method is then presented.

White guy #1: You know who likes to go with Mexicans? Fat white girls! It's always the fat ones who-
Carlos: Hey.
White guy #1: What?
Carlos: Do me a favor.
White guy #1: Yeah?
Carlos: Shut the fuck up. {walks away}
White guy #1: Damn, what the hell's his problem?
White guy #2: You're a dumbass. His wife is white.
{awkward silence}
White guy #1: But I wasn't sayin' nothin – I just meant it's like… a stereotype.
A stereotype – and like any stereotype, it's mostly hurtful bigotry, but with a little truth mixed in – (Sort of like Fruit Punch with 10% real juice.)
"Gringas Gorditas" (Fat white girls), do not disproportionately pair up with Latino men. I can say anecdotally that among the gringas I know who are with Latino men, it's an even split 50/50 with half being flacas (thin) and the other half being gorditas (chubby or fat.)
I'm one of the gorditas, and I've come up against a lot of ignorant assumptions about my marriage. First of all, I did not "settle" for my husband because I couldn't "get a white guy". I dated boys/men from many different backgrounds (including Caucasian) before I met Carlos.
Second of all, my husband did not choose me just to get a Greencard, and nor am I a "status symbol" for him.
This stereotype about Latinos and gringas gorditas is doubly damaging because not only does it literally weigh my worth as a woman in pounds, it casts an ugly light on interracial marriage – as if our marriage is somehow less valid.
Here's some breaking news: Interracial couples fall in love for all the complicated and simple reasons "same race" couples fall in love. In the end, it comes down to attraction – not just physical, (though biologically that can't much be helped), but spiritual connection, emotional attachment, and shared experiences all play a role.
Now for the 10% juice: Culturally speaking, Latino men are typically more accepting, and even desiring, of a thicker figure on a woman, than are Anglo men. (Source: Study on Race/Ethnicity Body Type Preferences)
(Necessary Disclaimer: That, of course, is a generality that does not apply to all Latino men or all Anglo men. Individual results may vary.)
The real question in my mind is what is the fascination with this stereotype? Why all the scrutiny over my curves and his color? Yes, I'm a gringa gordita and yes, he is Latino – ¿Y qué? (So what?)
"It is not that love is blind. It is that love sees with a painter's eye, finding the essence that renders all else background." – Robert Brault

Making the grade: school grapples with AYP
Hermon Hutchens faces an old foe in test scores
Like more than half the schools statewide, Hermon Hutchens Elementary School did not make AYP – adequate yearly progress – under the strict and ever-rising testing requirements of the federally mandated No Child Left Behind act. And like many school's, the cause for this lack of success occurred when a lower-than-needed number of students with disabilities passed the language arts testing.
Valdez High School and Gilson Jr. High both passed AYP, but Valdez City School District as a whole did not make AYP due to the special needs students' lower test scores from Hermon Hutchens.
This same problem has caused Hermon Hutchens to not meet the criteria for AYP in years' past. The year before, the school provided a teacher to work exclusively with students with disabilities to help them achieve educational goals and the school met AYP criteria. The teacher was reassigned to a regular class and struggling students did not improve test scores enough to pass AYP when last year's testing was released for this year.
Some school officials say the benchmarks required for AYP are not only unrealistic – it says that by the 2013/14 school year 100 percent of all students in the US will be proficient in the three Rs and science – but the structure of the mandate is a numbers game.
During the August 22, school board meeting, Jacob Jensen, district superintendent, pointed out that if Hermon Hutchens had five less students categorized as disabled, as a group they would not have been counted statistically and the school would have passed AYP.
"The only school that has to report these students is the elementary," Ruth Knight, the districts test coordinator, said.
This is because if a category of students are less than 25 in number, that group is not counted statistically.
Valdez board members and educators say they are wary of manipulating student categories. Educators and officials worry actual education could get trumped by teaching students to pass tests only, while the board grapples with consequences of short-term statistical solutions such as moving sixth grade students to a middle school to lessen the elementary school's number of disabled students.
As a short-term solution, Jensen suggested hiring a part-time, temporary teacher to work with kids testing below grade-level as was done two years ago, which resulted in all student group's passing AYP requirements.
"It's a numbers game," Jensen said, "We don't want to play the game just to make it."

As many of you may know, JT and I ran into Tyler from iSpeech at BBM Hackathon. When we were there, Tyler told us about the iSpeech SDK's. He said that they would be coming out soon, with some new apps. Well, those apps are now out!
Today iSpeech has officially launched their newest apps, iSpeech Bush and iSpeech Obama. They are available on BlackBerry, Android and iOS. Both apps are free to type in any text and listen to it read aloud in the President's voice. There is a $3.99 you could buy to speak your phrase into the phone and have it then read aloud. These are quite funny, and BBM Connected! This means you will be able to share your Obama and Bush iSpeech with BBM contacts.
The Speech technology in these apps can also be found powering the text to speech and speech recognition in major apps including DriveSafe.ly, iSpeech Translator and is coming soon in DailyHoroscope and Beat the Traffic.
iSpeech had this to say about their new apps:
If you are a developer and would like to get your hands on iSpeech API's/SDK, just sign up for a developer account. Once the developer signs up, they can access the API keys/SDKs.We are really trying to showcase our TTS and ASR technologies through these apps especially to app developers interested in using our SDKs. They are also really entertaining apps to play with!
Earlier today I announced the release of two new iSpeech applications, iSpeech Bush and iSpeech Obama. Now it is time for a giveaway! iSpeech has been so kind to give us 25 premium copies of each application.
Winning one of these applications is easy. Just leave a comment below, in our forums. Let us know which app you would like to have. Simply replay "I would like to win an Obama copy" or "It would be cool to have the Bush one!" and you will be entered to win that app!

ServiceMagic.com released its Home Remodeling and Repair Index for the second quarter of 2009, and the data indicates consumers are still somewhat cautious in home remodeling spending. But confidence is substantially increasing, especially among baby boomers. The Web site revealed that after careful behavior in the first quarter, homeowners are starting to spend more in home improvement, with focused efforts on bathroom and kitchen remodels.
The baby boomer generation submitted more than half of the service requests in the second quarter. The index also shows moving requests are down 42 percent nationally, indicating more people are staying in their homes.
"Home improvement activity in the most recent quarter reflects that baby boomers are the first to bounce back after the economic turmoil the nation recently experienced," said Craig Smith, CEO of -ServiceMagic.com. "It seems homeowners, in general, are now cautiously but increasingly optimistic about home improvement as both a valuable investment in their homes and as a profitable way of life, respectively."
Homeowners plan to take on small projects with the intent to head into large-scale remodels in early 2010. The data measures the 1.3 million service requests received by ServiceMagic.com in the second quarter of this year, comparing the numbers to the same quarter of 2008.
Notable from the key findings, 80 percent of home service professionals responding to the service professional sentiment survey say they are optimistic about their company's performance for the rest of 2009. In similar fashion, while 67 percent of homeowners prolonged or postponed a project this quarter, 72 percent say they will reconsider the same project in 2010.

Check out this amazing healing story from Sunfood's President and Top Superfood Dude, Robert DeuPree, who found a solution for his carpal tunnel using our Old Fashioned Peppermint Liniment!
"I had been suffering with a bad case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right wrist for about a year. It was caused by sitting at my desk for hours on end using the mouse and keyboard, plus using my laptop when not at my desk. I was having numbness in my fingers and pain in my wrist that shot up to my elbow. The constant pain made doing my job miserable because I do a lot of typing, and even using my phone was uncomfortable.
I took off my wrist brace and applied the lotion to my right wrist and right hand. I was totally blown away when within just a few minutes, the pain from my Carpal Tunnel began to subside! I continued to use it a couple times a day at first, and then down to once a day. I can still barely feel that there is something going on in my wrist, but after a week of use there has been a tremendous change from almost unbearable to a slight irritation from time to time. I believe that Old Fashioned Peppermint Liniment lotion acted as a natural cure for my carpal tunnel. The constant pain I suffered from is gone."

VA Rolls Out Tablets, Enables Telepresence On-the-Go
To ensure its facilities stay on the cutting edge of healthcare and technology, the federal government plans to purchase 100,000 tablet computing devices for its Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals, according to Nextgov.
It's a move that makes a lot of sense, as Fierce Mobile Healthcare notes in a recent story. Tablets represent the most current technology available, and their presence in a hospital lures medical students to fight for positions, as they perceive the technology as top-of-the-line, according to the article. The devices save hospitals money by preserving funds that would otherwise go towards more expensive PCs or laptops, and they save physicians time by streamlining documentation and administrative procedures, the article said.
There's one more crucial thing a tablet brings with it to the hospital: telepresence. With telepresence at their fingertips, doctors can remotely follow-up on their patients, yet still see their patients "in person." They can provide care to chronically ill patients living far from the hospital, review x-rays clearly and precisely, and access continuing education resources.
We've had the fortune of seeing the tablet in action at a healthcare facility. Palomar Pomerado Health in Southern California uses Cisco's Cius tablet to enable physicians to access full patient histories anytime, anywhere. This access speeds the reporting of test results and the delivery of prescriptions and medications. Doctors also use the Cius to support Cisco TelePresence.
While there are security and other mobile device management issues to consider, both Apple- and Android- based applications are beginning to take these barriers into account and fine-tune security on their devices, according to Nextgov. The Cius, for example, built from the ground up with security in mind, has security functions in place at all levels, from the hardware to the network access and from enterprise access to mobile security.
With anytime access to telepresence, patient records, administrative tools, and more, the VA stands to greatly enhance its patient care as it evolves its technology to the tablet. Knowing confidential information remains secure with tablet technology, could your agency or office benefit from having telepresence and expanded network access on the go?
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

About Jebrew
lock in...ugh...honestly. One of these days I'll learn to read before I post.
I went to a locking once.
Wish they hadn't found my pocket knife that'd I'd forgotten to remove when I parked. It wasn't the greatest knife, but it was pretty good, and it would open boxes and letters like a champ. Ah well, at least they had a wine key for sale at the gift shop next to my terminal, so if I was really wanting to cause some mayhem, the tools were available to me.
Glad you said it. It's the little things, but it really is a fairly big difference. Reminds me of when reporters call all assault rifles "AK-47's"...sigh...
I still call them French Fondles.
That's just a lie put forth by the digital hippies to get you to recycle your electronic waste. The landfills of the internet are technically infinite, so we should never have the issue with overpolluted tubes!
Isn't the patent office suppose to reject applications which are not obvious?
...no, you don't get your money back if it is struck down. You settled, your deal is done.
I would think the driver has at least as much, if not more, to do with what a safe speed in the car is. How do you set limits for different car/driver pairings? Do you make licenses for different skill levels and then color code license plates or something?
...not trying to be flippant, I'd really like someone to come up with a good, viable solution. Also, I think people should have more schooling in driving before being allowed to hoon a multi thousand pound vehicle around the streets.
Funny, I was actually checking my OBD reading of my speedo vs. my dash vs. GPS for my car...GPS is ~0.1-0.2 mph off what the car says fairly consistently. Though the dash readout doesn't do tenths of a mile per hour, it does appear to round .5 up.
Came here to say almost the exact same thing. I actually switched from Netflix to Blockbuster because of the in-store exchange. Then they said it doesn't apply to new rentals...fine, no big deal. Then they said it's only a $0.99 rental...okay, I lived a block from one with a healthy $0.99 rental section. The final straw came when they said I could only exchange one movie in store and that it would not cost $5 more than Netflix. Just when they sent me the e-mail about that Netflix let me know I could do instant streaming. Switched back to red 10 minutes later.
Blockbuster had a really good opportunity with the B&M exchange thing. Even if it was just a discount on the rental, it would have been worth it. Movies returned to the B&M registered as returned that day and you'd have your next mail-order movie either the next day or the day after. The turn-around was great, but not worth the extra money that Blockbuster wanted.
He was, but somehow, the rest of the guys in the video had to do the same think as Mikey without his magic.
Or you can just shorten it to:
"You must pay us"
seems regardless of whether or not you play, you pay! :)
Good times for all
"Republishing copyrighted material without..."
Let me stop you right there. If I describe where something that is copyrighted is and you go view this copyrighted material, I fail to see how that's infringement. Sure, hotlinking is rude and if you're using it inline with a page, then it can be highly disingenuious as to the source, but you're still not republishing.
If Coca-Cola reprints your copyrighted material, then they've created a copy, and not according to their rights, so it's infringement. If they simply point back to your site for the image, then it's not. Very simple.
For the time being; however, Hulu is doing far more good than harm by having a model that basically mirrors OTA broadcast. If they decide to narrowband it and make people pay, they'll flock back to the torrent sites in no time.
I watch a lot of my shows on Netflix, and I don't mind paying because I don't have to watch commercials, and I can pause/rewind/fast forward as I see fit.
I believe they have that model. It's called cable.

Rox add Rincon to pen, send down Murton
The late-season shuffle continued for the Rockies as they prepared to take on the Dodgers tonight at Coors Field.
Faced with an overworked bullpen, the Rockies reinstated right-handed pitcher Juan Rincon from the 15-day disabled list. Rincon's promotion bumped outfielder Matt Murton, who was designated back to the Triple-A Sky Sox.
Rincon, 30, is 3-2 with a 6.20 ERA (24.2 ip, 17 er) in 23 games for the Rockies and Tigers this season. He last pitched in Game 1 of a doubleheader on July 30 at New York, allowing one run on three hits in two innings. He was placed on the disabled list on August 1 with right elbow stiffness.
If the Rockies can solve Dodgers lefty Randy Wolf tonight, they will climb to within a game of first place in the NL West. At 72-54, the Rockies are 18 games over .500 – the high-water mark in franchise history.
After last night's extra-inning victory, the Rockies are 15-17 in one-run games. That coming after a 0-8 record in one-run games to start the season.
Here are tonight's lineups:
SS Rafael Furcal
CF Matt Kemp
RF Andre Ethier
LF Manny Ramirez
3B Casey Blake
1B James Loney
C Russell Martin
2B Orlando Hudson
LHP Randy Wolf
CF Eric Young
LF Ryan Spilborghs
1B Todd Helton
SS Troy Tulowitzki
RF Brad Hawpe
3B Garrett Atkins
2B Clint Barmes
C Chris Iannetta
RHP Josh Fogg
