The Talk Shows
March 3rd, 2013
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Mitt and Ann Romney.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): White House economic adviser Gene Sperling; House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio; Rep. Raul Labrador.
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., John McCain, R-Ariz., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Sperling; Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Sperling; Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; Reps. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., and Greg Walden, R-Ore.
What I can't and never will understand is how Mitt would even consider putting himself, let alone Ann, in the same room with ANY of those media pimps.
Put in the same position, I'd have to be restrained from tearing the phony [BLEEP]'s head off, national television and all.
Disagree. The welfare state is unsustainable. Kicking the can down the road will not solve our long term problems. We just added a third entitlement program, Obamacare, that will just hasten the bankruptcy of this country.
Yabut, Bush has been out since 2008/9.
I think the big question for Boner, Ryan, Cantor etc, is:
"Why didn't you slam on the brakes when you took back the House?"
I agree..Boehner did ok...but we need more "emotional" presentations on the spending and Obama care and gun control:
the Rape victims that advocated NO gun control that Beck had on his program.
Hysterical Greeks and Italians that are now devestated by their economy telling us how it would be like this for us.
Frightened seniors that their medicare and health care will be cut if we DON"T deal with the issue NOW and what Obamacare is already doing.
Dems win through emotions...we appeal through intellect and that won't work for Low info Voters.
Well stated PB. The only other alternative is a third Party, which if we are going to lose anyway is a real possibility. If everything we know about politics is wrong, then fearing a third party is wrong too.
Pray for America
I agree!!!!
Specifically, I blame Bush/RINOs for giving us Ubama and his communism.
Every day it looks like that was the plan of the shadow govt.
Support conservatism! Remember every time it's tried it works(RR)!
When one of our guys gets out of line their should also be consequences.If conservative values are meaningless than what kind of party do we have?
Gotta work today.I'll be on the road soon. If we have a sitting governor that sells out the election for a few bucks he might get from the dear leader take away his republican credentials and send him to the all mighty independent side.
When we have an ex-general who does radio commercials for the Dear Leader three days before a major election send him packing.
If there are no consequences for actions there is no party worth fighting for!
They may both be responsible, but not equally responsible. It is the welfare state that is killing this country. It started with FDR and was expanded by LBJ and Obama. Yes, Bush 43 added the prescription drug program, but the Dems are the architects.
It all boils down to different views on the role of government. The Dems are the party of Big Government and the Reps are the ones who want a smaller Big Government. The ruling class has decided our fate and the public must follow along. In fact, most of the public seems to support the culture of dependency.
53 degrees here in the Fab Fla.Keys....Just turned the heat off and opened the front door....
He's right.
It's all about the debt ceiling that comes up soon. No attention on the debt ceiling at all. Tons of attention on the sequester,faux administration outrage,Axelrot at his finest hour he shanked us again. Another look at the right hand not at the left.
So Gregory is doing his job, to promote Marxism. In related news: the sun rose in the east.
Pray for America
Let us all understand one important point about Sunday Morning Show guests....
The Leftist editors and hosts of these shows absolutely have an agenda.
They're trying to set a meme for the week of news ahead, or to continue to push one from last week...
Did I mention they're Leftists?
They are the vangaurd of the new Communist movement, now known as the US democratic Party.
They are not journalists or reporters but rather propagandizers.
Propaganda for the democrats/communists/socialists/Leftists/Obama/Clintonites is what they DO. They have a lot of work each Sunday to set up the week for their agenda.
To that end, only guests that can fulfill that agenda are invited on the shows.
That means Graham, McCain, Chuck U Shumer, Durbin, Ayote, etc, etc are there BECAUSE that fits the Leftist spin cycle for the week.
So we won't see, for example, Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio week after week.
Graham and McCain think that they're representing conservatives and it's better to get face time than let yourself be pwned by the likes of Gregory, Shieffer, Steponallofus, Crowley and Wallass, but they're sadly mistaken.
I believe they're both on a lot because it serves the hosts well to have them, and each are too vain to realize just how pliable they really are. They really are fools.
Yeah Bob we are so much better off with the Dear Leader I totally agree,can't believe what I read sometimes.....
Got it, kabar. I gotta run to church, but wondered if anyone else had watched ABC and Carville. I wasn't paying full attention with the TV on in the background, but I swear he was sounding like a conservative! Warning about European socialism trends, etc. I started wondering if I was losing my hearing.
Good take kabar. If we don't support conservatism more and more in the Republican Party we will get what we deserve.
26 degrees up here and snowing (just a tad) on the blooming daffodils!
Great summary AB!Depending on you guys for input today while I work.
Whoa too cold for me!!I gotta go to N.Fla tomorrow,don't know if I can get out of the van for very long!!
In some ways, the Reps have been enablers. They should be frank with the public and say that you have a choice, higher taxes to pay for the welfare state or a reduction in the welfare state and lower taxes.
I think it was our dear old friend Phsstpok who clued us into the idea of the weekly meme... That the Sunday shows were not about telling the news of the week or burning issues but rather SETTING them.
Ever since those days, I have carefully watched the shows, and especially the comments here, to the point that week after week Phsstpok's wise teachings are confirmed.
Note Gregory today... Set Boehner up! Basically, the meme here is:
-You lie
-Republican's fault
-Shoulda just accepted a few more taxes to help the country
Game, set, match... Or for you Rod, hook, line and sinker!
The Romneys may be a class act in your opinion.
romney started Obamacare in Texachusetts, he was (and probably still is) pro abortion, pro queer marriage.
People like romney are nothing more than wanna be Kings - No different than Mclame, chrispie cream, obummer - take your pick.
Not one of these asses has any desire for limited G'ment.
Hence my term RATagandist®.
The People's Republic of Oregon is supposed to be a balmy 58 today. May have to do a bike ride.
Hey, Rod, check out the Bing photo of the day:
It is 7 mile bridge in the Florida Keys. I think I see you out on the flats hooking a Tarpon!
Romney won the nomination and I was thrilled to be voting for him AGAINST the current president. It is still unbelievable to me that Obama won. We will all regret it. America would be out of the control of Marxists and on its way to recovery if Romney had won.
Rodman on Stephy...
" what about his prison camps?"
answer from the unbelievable self-centered, stupid basketball player......"We have those too!"
He goes on to say that about Kim Ung..."He's a humble man."
I am speechelss...this was so awful.
If the 'latest Simpson-Bowles Plan' has a tax increase, it is just another bad plan. One thing needs to happen, manage cost.
Tax increases have been shown to hurt the economy of those in the private sector who do have to manage cost.
Boehner needs to be the one who manages cost, being no one else will. He's already helped diminish private sector opportunities by going along with the Democrat's tax increase.
I'm a bit more cynical than you are, AB. I think they are complicit and expect to remain among the elite when the takeover is complete BECAUSE of their "pliability". That doesn't mean they're not fools.
I still miss Phsstpok too!
Yes, of course, it goes without saying that Romney would be an improvement over Obama.
But a Romney presidency would not have meant that any of the major issues confronting the nation would have been solved or even improved.
Nor would Romney been a mortal lock to deliver much if anything to conservatives.
And all of this gets even more pointless when you realize that RINOs like Romney simply don't win so it's merely academic that he WOULD HAVE BEEN an improvement over Obama.
And I wasn't being cynical about the Romneys as being Kennedy-like. I would prefer Jack and Jackie over what we've had of late. Short of Ronnie and Nancy (the likes of which we'll not see again), some manners and grace in the White House (even as it sold out to the Left half the time) would have been a good thing.
Another obscurity is the tax revenue to GDP, its down to 16% because there is less economic activity, not because Democrats need to raise taxes to increase the tax revenue to GDP ratio, Mr Julian(FOX Business Block Guest), thats not how Macroeconomics works, your only advocating tax increases that have been shown to decrease total GDP.
The Romneys are so irrelevant on the political stage right now- they are history. Why the big interview on Fox News Sunday? What is Fox thinking? Mitt Romney's opinion on anything right now should only be shown in a 2 minute interview on a afternoon weekend show. That's how irrelevant he is.
Actually the Romneys have never really been relevant imho and the big bucks got them the nomination pure and simple. Mitt has been on every side of every issue. They are champions of no cause. Also, they made many enemies on the way to getting the Republican nod. Bye bye Mitt - I doubt you will be missed by anyone.
Yes, he was slightly less evil than Obama but you can't win the presidency if that is the only thing you bring to the table.
Did I hear that right that Romney is getting back into the political game???
Does that mean that we can expect to see him again in 2016???
Your whole comment hit the nail on the head. We think they don't. This is where education comes into play. We aren't making our kids think critically anymore. I could go on but I'll stop here. :)
I respectfully disagree.
The Republicans sold Defense down the river twice - in 2011 by approving a $487 Billion cut over ten years (that we are now 2 years into and is causing real reductions), and again by agreeing to allow 17% of the budget (which Defense is) take 50% of the Sequester cuts (even though Defense is Constitutional and Entitlements are not). The Republicans at this point don't care about the military (with the exception of people like McCain, Graham, and McKeon).
Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave at what the current crop of Republican leadership are doing to the men and women in uniform of this nation. No group has given as much, and no group has the biggest target on their backs. Military health care, DoD schools, and family support is all going to be cut under the Sequester - not to mention the breaking of faith with hundreds of thousands of loyal, patriotic DoD employees.
Lucky guy!
I'll be riding as well at about 85 mph up I-95 into cold country.
Romney fits in with Fox snooze just fine. He could be on the All Star panel to explain Conservatism to their viewers.
Pray for America
It isn't complicated...
So McCain and Graham care about the military. How did they vote on cloture (Hagel)?
wow cool,photo taken from the Bay/Gulf side of the bridge,basically looking North to south looking out to the oceansisde.
A month from now it will be a parking lot on the water with everyone trying to cach the frist 200 lb. tarpon.
I agree with you kabar. But the Sequester does nothing to address Entitlement spending, which you and agree is the largest driver of our deficits. Both earned and unearned Entitlement spending must be dealt with.
Food stamp spending alone in 2012 alone is projected to be $85 Billion - more than enough to pay for all of the Sequester cuts in this fiscal year alone.
The current Sequester suicide plan is madness - it does nothing to stop the Entitlement bleeding, it punishes Defense, and it will cause great harm to the economy.
If you chose to go to war - Do it quickly do it overwhelmingly, then go home. 14 years later and Iraq will soon be another Muslim headache. The English, and before then others have failed in Afghanistan. Now it is America's turn to fail. The ramifications will be felt in Pakistan and India.
If all you are interested in is that your man wins, than the country is lost.
Good Morning PB, All...
....thank you AB for doing this thread.
It's been a horrid morning.
First, husband, last night, gets it in his head that we should turn back clocks. Since I was to sing at the 8:30 mass I was concerned that the clocks be right, alarms correct, yada, yada.
So I changed the time on my clock radio and husband changed all clocks in house.
At 1:30 am in morn, with him still up and watching TV, he knocks on bedroom door to tell me that he was mistaken, that I turned back my clock in error.
So in the mid of deep night I am fooling around with this clock radio, a new one with which I am not all that familiar, but I got it correct with an alarm.
But the alarm never got a chance to go off as the electricity went off at 6:15 in the am.
I normally am up for bathroom morning then a return to bed for another hour or so at this time so I noted the electricity went off....then back on....then back off again.
No electricity.
I sat and pondered.
Well I could hardly go back to sleep by this time as I had to get up to be at church for practice by 8 in the am so I got up but could not do much with no electricity.
I turned on battery powered radio, seems some boobaloob stayed a bit too late with the drink last night and ran into a pole, knocked out electricty for 40,000 people.
I took husband's car to church as I knew church was on as Lewes still had electricity, only Georgetown was out, all the way down to Merryland almost.
Husband's car, heh. Little chevrolet Cavalier, 1994, only has 66K miles on it. Whole car covered in mold.
Yeah I drove down the road like that and of course some of my choir mates saw me and asked what the hell was I driving.
Anyway, get in pew, only two altos. Dear Lord at practice there were about 8 of us. Seems all the altos come to prctice but not show up to sing.
The other alto, she's a good egg, but she's not all that loud. Which means it was all on me.
Only ONE male showed up. Heh. Well he's a very good singer and he did carry his part. The ALTOS had to sing the male part alot so hey, I ended up singing my heart out, name the part....alto....did that.....tenor....did that....sporano....did that. Bass? Absolutely....did that.
So after church I call home, husband says electricity on. I come home, man we had to set all the appliances and somebody got to tell me why on earth we had to re-set and re-program the Kruger coffee maker cause the electricity went out./ What an awful design this is!
Husband had to re-set the clocks AGAIN, this after his mid of night change forward then back again.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, dear Lord I sang to You today with all my heart, all the parts and after no sleep and with no electricity.
Surely I am going to heaven?
anyway, taped Fox News Sunday and Meet the Depressed.
Though Boehner did a terrible job on MTP but I got more thoughts on it.
Just wanted to get in before electricity goes off again or husband decides, once again, to re-set all the clocks.
There has never been an Obama budget. He tried one once and NO ONE, democRat or Republican voted for it. The democRat controlled Senate has never passed a budget proposal since Obama has been in office. The only alternative has been a "Continuing Resolution", to simply stay on the current spending rate since there is no budget to vote on.
It is not appropriate to blame the Republicans for any of this. The Republicans have passed budgets, only to have them die in the Senate. It is up to Obama to propose a budget, one that at least his own Senate will pass. Then there can be a negotiation between the Senate and House versions, and THEN you can include the Republicans in the blame if you don't like the results. In the meantime, the fault lies entirely with Obama and the democRats.
"If you chose to go to war - Do it quickly do it overwhelmingly, then go home. 14 years later and Iraq will soon be another Muslim headache. The English, and before then others have failed in Afghanistan. Now it is America's turn to fail. The ramifications will be felt in Pakistan and India."
Pray tell what did Romney have to do with that!?!? If I were president, that war would have been over with long time ago. The country is not winning now is it?

Oprah on Puppy Mills
Oprah Winfrey is going to be tackling puppy mills on her show today, so be sure to check it out (or Tivo it) if you get a chance. Puppy mills, which keep large quantities of purebred dogs in overcrowded, often shockingly inhumane conditions, are a well-kept secret of the pet-trade industry, and the animal protection community is extremely grateful to Oprah for exposing this major cause of pet overpopulation to a wide audience.
It's standard practice for puppy mills—which supply animals to pet stores and purebred enthusiasts, without any concern for the millions who will die in shelters as a result—to keep animals in constant confinement, without proper veterinary care or socialization. It's common to hear stories of puppy mills that are shut down on cruelty to animals charges (I posted about one a couple of weeks ago), but it's nowhere near common enough—and these sordid operations will continue to thrive for as long as people support them by purchasing animals from pet stores or seeking out purebred animals from breeders.
You can find out what time the show will be airing where you live on Oprah's site, and there's more information about puppy mills, and you can learn more about PETA's campaign to help companion animals here.
Charlize Theron on Puppy Mills for PETA
Commenting is closed.
Your life is worth living.
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah does NOT take all animals They turn animals away every day!! No Kill is a fake
just to even think about harming these animals is just plain Disgusting!!!!!! how can they live with themselves! Someone should do that to them!!!
I will never buy a puppy or dog from a puppy mill. I actually would love to adopt all cats and dogs who need homes but I realize I cannot do that. I support many humane societies and helpers of animals. I truly like animals more than most people. They are so grateful for whatever love is given to them and are such wonderful companions. I took a Chihuahua puppy from a friend of mine that could no longer care for her. We love that dog soooo very much. If we had not taken her who knows what would have happened to her. I have seen some of the terrible things occurring at the puppy mills and it absolutely makes me sick. I wish there was a way to close all illicit puppy mills close. I heard on Oprah today that one owner of a puppy mill shot 80 of his dogs because they were ordered to have flea control. How sick is that? I believe these people that have these type of puppy mills are very evil people and who knows what they may do to human beings. Anyway I can help to close a puppy mill I will be more than happy to help. I do support a group called Best Friends in Utah that takes all unwanted and special needs animals and has a nokill policy. These animals will live there happily even if they do not get adopted. Thank you for letting me vent as I believe all animals should have a good loving home.
Oprah makes me smile but this makes me still very sick and mad. it shouldn't be like this. this is insanity how can people get away with this over and over again? have people no hearts? I wish every animal had harmony in their life. and will do anything I can to help as much as I can to make their lives more joyful. this isn't life it's prison made by humans! join us in the fight and don't loose your patient we got a long road to walk.. but I'm not hesitating… no way!
Oprah ROX… And Anyone who wants to help animals is Welcome!!!!!!!
Hi I am a dog groomer and through the last few years i have seen the popularity of these xbreed pups increase. Sadly the result being puppy farming also bad breeding practices. Dogs that have bad jaws and joints being bred with others also in some cases related dogs. Money money money and fashion seem to be the ruler at this time. when people come in with dogs that are poor in form we tell the owners to reconsider breeding and explain why. What makes a great and loving pet does not always make a good sire. P.s so many great pets end up in pounds also they would love a second chance at happiness. So stop the crazed money breeding . Think twice everyone.
hi oprah what a sad day for me sad dogs so hurt and the look in their eyes. Those people need to be stopped. please help america i'm here in south africa so far but never to late to help thx oprah please do it every month on your show thx oprah sophia xx
Dear Oprah. HiI am a 12 year old girl and live in south africa. For theese past week I have Trying too get every dog off the street!and the show was my breaking point. I was so devestated and realy dont known why they even let theese puppy mills is aloud. in africa here no puppy mills but just alot of animals that are the streets.I realy dont known what to do so can trie to help me save most of the animals in need here in africa.Regardes Carien Oosthuizen.
I live in NSW Australia and am a breeder of Jack Russell Terriers. I watched your show today 4th June and was absolutely horrified at what I saw. We are campaining here in Australia to stop exactly the same thing but compared to your country on thankfully a much smaller scale. Here we call them puppy farmers. Thankfully in the 12years I have been breeding which I might add is on a very small scale as I only breed to upgrade my own show stock I no exactly where all the puppies I have sold are and their owners keep me informed of their wellbeing with Xmas cards and photos every year. Keep up the good work you have a great following over here. Regards Lorraine.
Dear Oprah I was appalled about the puppy mill show which viewed today in Townsville Australia. Puppy mills cannot operate here as we have the R.S.P.C.A. that do not allow it.The disgusting conditions inhumane treatment of these poor crearures could get perpetrators of these crimes against innocent animals fines of $75000 or 2 years jail. I was so saddened by what I saw that I cried like a baby I thank god there are caring people who were on your show that are trying so hard to help these dogs. I am astonished though that in this day age authorties are allowing this barbaric behavior to happen.To those good samaritans out therekeep up the good work Oprah keep showing the world what saddists these people are. KatrinaAustralia
KUDOS to Oprah. All I want to add is these people that run or are involved in any way are ill inhumane what goes around comes around. Please click onto theanimalrescuesite.com .care2.comsites the clicks are free and this supports rescues shelters. Also check out http://www.pawsribbonrally.org THANKS pawsitively fury much!!
My son answered a classified ad in our local paper The FreeLance Star in Fredericksburg Virginia for "FREE Beagles". Just a telephone number was listed. He called left his phone number was called back by this person. He was given the address of the "free" beagles. He and his girlfriend drove out to the address it was in Westmoreland County Virginia. It was a raining day. Conditions were horrible. The "free" beagles were out in the rain in small cages in mud with straw. The dogs stayed outside not much for cover I think he said maybe igloos. The dog they went for was a three year female they were told by the owners son that "Paw don't want to get rid of her yet". Another words she was still good for breeding! Chris did get a older female. When he walk by her cage she start barking and stratching at the sides like she was saying take me take me. He took her pretty sure if he didn't she would have been destroyed because she was no longer useful for breeding. She was used up! Her new name is Betsy. She is a dear. Her teeth are bad. She has a tumor on one of her mammorary glands. She has a bad cough. She had to have 10 days of antibiotics she did test negative for heartworm and Lyme disease thank God. She had to have a bath ASAP the mud and the muck just poured off of her she didn't complain she just licked Chris' hands and face as to say thanks. Now she had to learn how to walk up the stairs. She learned real fast how to jump on the couch to sleep. She loves her walks. She wags her tail. Who says she was used up? So if the Westmoreland Police are reading this you have work to do. If the Westmoreland Animal Conrol are reading this go get them they have about 40 more beagles there. They are in horrible conditions! The animals deserve better than this and the people of Westmoreland do not need this kind cruelty in their county!
I was sick when I saw wait tey are doing to the dogs.
Puppy mills are so evil and should end for eternitiy!!! You go Oprah!!!
Many comments are against the people who breed mills dogs…that is INSANE to use the dogs to make desesperatelly money abusing and torturing them…BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LAW ? WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO MANAGE THE LAW IN EACH STATE ? we often heard that people are taken to jail because animal abuse…but…where is the law for industries creating dogs mills each second…and there are not in secret when stores are sellings the dogs…is not that action an ABUSE bacause is producing money? THOSE INDUSTRIES BIG OR SMALL NEED TO BE DISCOVERED AND PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THE ACTION ABUSING DOGS IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY.. WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
When I heard about puppy mills.. my heart weeped. What kind of person could physically and mentally harm poor animals! Why is there no law! I've had a animal with abuse they're just like our children. If I found out whoever hurt her I would love to see herhim in jail. Plus the animals physical and mental abuse will always stay with them the only help is through therapy. THIS IS A CRIME!
this is huge!!! many have gone unknown for a long time!!! i don't have dogs but i love them!!!! we should stop this!!
things are gone from bad to worst not only to dogs but all sorts of animals.these cruel doing to animlas such as killin them for fur or meat or some other crap is totally insane! animals should be treated with love and carenot just get a pet for the sake of getting a petthats just irresponsible and so many unworthy reasons.WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF ANIMALS!!!!THEY ARE VERRRYYYYYY IMPORTANT!!!!DUHH
Lizbeth VERY wellsaid and 100 accurate too. I noticed this myself but was unable to sum in the wise manner that you did. The top two ways in which blacks are victimized is 1 diet related diseases 2 blackonblack crime. Oprah does NOT do shows on ANY of this she is not even concerned about the worst ways her own people are perishing. When she won the beef trial she went out of her way to be nice to this "industry" by inviting them back on her show TWICE to make amends to undue the harm they received. Oprah is the type who has to be in a wheelchair in terminal condition before she acts on a cause that is 100 altruistic. I am not saying that she is actively nogood or rotten but very shallow like her audience.
Louise Hello. I'm not sure I understand the situation you're talking about are you a volunteer there? It sounds weird that the shelter would have sick dogs on the adoption floor. If the shelter is filthy and they are keeping sick dogs and refusing to treat them they should be reported immediately. Call your town mayor you can get the phone number from Information and ask him where to report a shelter that is abusing its animals. They might tell you to call the animal cruelty office or there may be some other resource like public health. Our local animal cruelty officers don't do a very good job they don't seem to care. So be prepared to try other things if this does not work out. Good luck let us know what happens!
Who the hell would do something like that. I think its so disgusting to do that to the pore dogs I think all the people who do this should be treated the same way and we will see how they fell
Hi!! I have an other probleme then poppy mills. Is the no kill shelters dont get me wrong I'm all for it . But I dont understand why one persone can play god with little dog lives ?????? I have adopted An "Unadoptable" dog from a shelter. they saved the lives of a lot of Distemper infected puppies.. All the dogs where left with severe neurological problemes and clasifed as NOT ADOPTABLE but kept in the shelter to live the rest of there lifes in cages and filth..Those dogs are and where abuse in that shelter forgoten and unloved. It took a severe intervention to get some of those dogs out to find them good homes I adopted one of them a year ago and and I've never seen a little dog so sad and scared of people she lived in the shelter 3 years from the time she was found at 9 weeks old It took one year for her to trust anyone now she is a change little dog and has formed a personality that makes lots of people laugh… That shelter as lots of UNADOPTABLE DOGS that lives in bad conditions and are abused on a dayly basis.. Where do we draw the line for Unadoptable dogs and where do I go to stop it ????
maybe one reason why Oprah wont' presuming wont' speak out agianst the fur trade or factory farming and all the ohter ills of mistreatment to animals is that she doesn't want to 'make enemies'.. can you imagien the scenario of public outcry over the fur trade and all women decreeing never to buy furs agian form anywhere for that matter.. why the fur trade in USA coudl or would possibly collapse overnight .. or near to.. and who woudl all these furriers.. or battery egg farms farmers etc etc.. be pointing their fingers and blaming.. yes.. yours truly.. my point is.. there is GREAT INUSTICE in the animal world and they are suffering terriby.. even right now as I type these words out.. in the fur farms in the factory farms.. in zooscircuses.. I could go on and on.. for them.. and end cease their suffering I would say ot Oprah.. it would be more htan well worth it.. for their sakes.. but I find her shows tned to be very selfcentered.. ie. selfimprovement.. selfbetterment.. selfgrowing awareness.. self .. self.. self.. everything.. it's all very selfcentered human oriented.. she wields a lot of power.. being chatshow show queen and queen of hte airways not to mention most of her ardent fans are women.. she could do a one programme on 'how you can help reduce animals suffering by every day choiceslifestyle changes and awareness workshop.. ' now wouldn't that be great programme rather than her usual run of the mill .. 'how to imporve myself more'.. how to raise my spirituality more.. how to better myself.. etc. etc…. yawn..
EVERYONE please urge the Oprah show to reair the puppy mill story and please contact any media personnel you can to further encourage viewers to watch. Thanks so much!!
My question is if everyone quits buying the puppys from the pet stores what happens to all those dogs puppys at the Puppy Mills?? We have to think of how we could save recue them. I cryed my eyes out watching Oprah. And I will do something to help!
Great video but why is there a link at the end for helppuppies.com. I go to that site thinking I'll be donating to prevent this outrage and there is another link to an online puppy marketplace. This must be some mistake can someone look into this please!
Hey I wanted to use part of this segment for a speech im doing for a class and I dont know how to download it so I can hook my comp up to the TV can anyone help me??????
Oprah should consider all Animal Cruelty including those performed by her staff and those people she features on her show. Take for example the experiments of Mehmet Oz vice chair of surgery and professor of cardiac surgery at Columbia University. DiscoveryChannel.com featured Dr. Oz in a series called "Second Opinion" in which Dr. Oz's philosophies on health are discussed. Dr. Oz is also a frequent guest on Oprah's show and is featured on Oprah.com. Dr. Oz practices yoga routinely and he believes that "anger and stress management are keys to his wellness." Reading the records of the tormented dogs used in Dr. Oz's cruel heart experiments is enough to send anyone fleeing to the nearest angermanagement group.

bottom line. like her or not. at least light is shine on where your furbaby comes from. your choice is to adopt to clean up after irresponsible people or pay big bucks and buy from a rep. breeder. if you choose the latter meet the sellers and the parents on premise not pet stores.
Finally a famous isn't all talk about doing something good for the world. I 3 Oprah D
I'm so glad that puppy mills are finally getting the negative attention they deserve. It's about time!! But what I really don't like is when someone leaves a comment on this site and someone else has the guts to criticize what they say. Everyone should be able to have their own opinion on the subject. Isn't that what us animal activists are asking for the right to state our own opinion?
oprah you say you are an animal lover but you wear FUR………………………
I was very happy to see that Oprah was shedding light on the horrible things that take place in puppy mills. However my husband and I tried to adopt a dog from Main Line Animal Rescue the rescue facility that was featured on the show. We were informed that we lived too far away from their site to adopt one of their dogs…only 30 miles! We were saddened to not be able to help one of these animals and discouraged that they are not willing to work with people in order to find good homes for their animals…which we would have provided.
Those who run the puppy mills should be ashamed of themselves what makes humans think they have the right to treat animals this way. The conditions they live in are inhumane and horrid those poor animals.
dear oprah this puppy mill shit is bad and needs to be stopped thanks for helping peta and just to let everyone kno is that after i saw peta for the first time i have stopped eating meat and became a vegitarian and now everytime i see meat i get really sick so thanks again oprah your my girl for helpin PETA love ya
That's cool that Oprah aired that on her show but why can't she do that for ther animals? Remember one of her favorite things is… "SCARFS FROM BURBERREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY"…and we all know how they treat their minx!

What were some of your early influences?
It was weird, [but] one of the first things to influence me when I was in high school was the old Banana Republic store, when they were safari-themed stores in the [early] '80s. You'd walk in and they would have this huge elephant there and crates full of clothes or a Jeep. ... When you walked in, it was an environment.
This was before it was bought out by the Gap, … when this husband and wife [Mel and Patricia Ziegler] owned it. One was a travel writer and the other an illustrator. They would travel to Zimbabwe, buy all these extra shirts from the Army, take out the tags and put in the Banana Republic thing. It was this "found fashion" thing for travelers and mercenaries. That's what made it cool.
As the creative director, you're taking on many different roles. How do you keep it all straight?
It is not really being creative 95 percent of the time; it's 5 percent being creative and 95 percent creatively managing the problems. Something always goes wrong, so it's [figuring out] what do you want to do about this when it does.
It's a constant state of just doing it. It's controlled chaos. I don't know how it works, but it's successful. Now it's just about getting people around me to help support and make sure I am not killing myself. We seem much bigger than [Island Company] actually is; it's really just a lot of people doing 10 different things at once. It works, I don't know how.
Where the next stop in your travels?
The South Pacific intrigues me, though I have not been there yet. We want to open a store in Australia. Hong Kong blew us away. Bangkok and Thailand are sick. There is so much cool stuff going on over there.
I was never interested in the East at all, but then I went and Hong Kong. … It is so upscale, so clean; it's like New York meets South Beach because it has this warm temperature.
What else is next for Island Company?
We're working on a shoe line and bath and beauty—expanding on the sun-care line. We are expanding the eyewear. ... Everyone wants the Quit Your Job thing, so we are expanding that. We are also doing more content stuff on the website. We're trying to grow the company one evolution at a time.

Following remarks at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Ambassador to Peru P. Michael McKinley shares his thoughts on the U.S.-Peru relationship.AMBASSADOR MCKINLEY: U.S. relations with Peru at this moment are going through probably their best phase in the last 40 years. It's based on the work we've done together supporting the transition to democracy in Peru since the turn of the century, a growing economic partnership, a partnership in addressing strategic and transnational issues, fighting the narcotics trade, the drug trafficking, and on people-to-people contact.
Exports from the United States to Peru have grown by 70 percent, partly in anticipation of the entry into force of the Free Trade Agreement, which was ratified by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Bush and President Garcia in December of 2007. And it reflects what has been an almost exponential increase in bilateral trade in the last ten years between the United States and Peru. But as I said earlier, what we've seen throughout the Latin American region is a strengthening of our economic ties.
Economic ties are important for promoting growth and prosperity; and growth and prosperity in these countries help reduce poverty, create opportunities for a greater number of the peoples in the region. So the benefits are much more than strictly economic. They cascade throughout these societies and create the conditions for sustainable development, for greater social justice, greater opportunities for a wider number of people, and alleviating poverty.

La Sportiva Crosslite 2.0
La Sportiva Crosslite 2.0
$100, 10.7 oz, www.sportiva.com
The Dirt. Debuting about three years ago, the original Crosslites quickly gained an avid fan club for their comfortable fit, sleek, low-to-the-ground feel and stellar all-around trail performance, particularly in wet, muddy conditions. While many devotees might say, Why mess with a good thing?, La Sportiva debuts the significantly altered Crosslite 2.0 (never fear: the original Crosslite is currently still available).
Slip lasted with an injection-molded midsole and thicker (4mm more than the original) forefoot cushioning, the 2.0 provides a noticeably softer ride than the original Crosslite, although testers noted they felt slightly higher off the ground. The elevated ride was somewhat ameliorated by the 2.0's 8mm heel-to-toe drop versus the Crosslite's 10mm.
On the trail, testers praised the 2.0's ability to eat up rough ground, more stable heel pocket and deep-cleated outsoles (for their added cushioning and mud grip). One original Crosslite fan who has worn through numerous pairs noted the 2.0's overall increased stability and comfort, but said the shoe was clunkier with less trail "feel."
Fit. The 2.0 fits slightly wider in the forefoot than the original Crosslite, and gives more height in the mid-foot for those with high insteps. It fits narrow to medium feet best, and is one of the most comfortable shoes in our review.
Best For. All-around trail conditions, although some testers felt the lugs were overkill on smoother trails but excelled in mud and snow and gripped well on rock.
Tester-monial. "My favorite thing about the Crosslite 2.0 was its stability. The shoe hugs my foot in all the right places. I also appreciated the great tread; I never lost traction on loose rock, technical trails and snow. My confidence and speed increased the longer I ran in them." —Blair Speed, Bozeman, Montana

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Flight)
Aviation refers to flying using aircraft, machines designed by humans for atmospheric flight. More generally, the term also describes the activities, industries, and regulatory bodies associated with aircraft.
- Pilots take no special joy in walking: pilots like flying. Pilots generally take pride in a good landing, not in getting out of the vehicle.
- Neil Armstrong, On his famous moonwalk, as quoted in In the Shadow of the Moon : A Challenging Journey to Tranquility, 1965-1969 (2007) by Francis French and Colin Burgess
- Ours is the commencement of a flying age, and I am happy to have popped into existence at a period so interesting.
- Amelia Earhart, 20 Hrs 40 Mins (1928)
- Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air….
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
- John Gillespie Magee, Jr., "High Flight" (September 3, 1941); reported in Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations (1989). Ronald Reagan quoted from the first and last lines in a televised address to the nation after the space shuttle Challenger exploded, January 28, 1986. Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (February 3, 1986), p. 105.
- You'll Believe a Man Can Fly.
- Mario Puzo, David Newman, Leslie Newman, Robert Benton Superman (1978 film)
- The saying 'Getting there is half the fun' became obsolete with the advent of commercial airlines.
- Henry J. Tillman, as quoted in Strange but True (February 9, 2011) by Samantha Weaver, The Mountain Eagle (newspaper)
- "No airship will ever fly from New York to Paris. That seems to me to be impossible. What limits the flight is the motor. No known motor can run at the requisite speed for four days without stopping, and you can't be sure of finding the proper winds for soaring. The airship will always be a special messenger, never a load-carrier. But the history of civilization has usually shown that every new invention has brought in its train new needs it can satisfy, and so what the airship will eventually be used for is probably what we can least predict at the present."
- Wilbur Wright in the Cairo, Illinois, Bulletin, March 25, 1909, according to the Smithsonian (often misquoted, as detailed here, and also misattributed to his brother, Orville Wright)

The Southern Methodist University Mustangs Football team has one of the most storied histories in the country. The Mustangs play in the American Athletic Conference against many of the budding brands in college football. SMU first fielded a football team in 1915 and has won over 475 games and 10 conference titles since then. In addition to the conference championships, SMU has played in 15 bowl games and won 3 national championships. Some of the all time great college football players have played for the Mustangs including, "Dandy" Don Meredith, Eric Dickerson, Raymond Berry, and Heisman Trophy winner Doak Walker. Recent success has brought pride back into the program and created many great new traditions including, "Boulevarding," which is easily one of the largest and most exhilarating tailgating in the country.

In 2015 the SMU Mustangs experienced an eight-game losing streak midway through the season, as well as a disappointing overall score of 2-10. Chad Morris will be starting his second season with the Mustangs as head coach in 2016. With more experienced players returning, Morris has hope that in 2016 SMU will make some improvements and get their first bowl invite since 2015. It will be crucial for SMU to maintain a successful running game; with Xavier Jones and Braeden West returning as experienced sophomores, this is possible. Top games on the SMU Mustangs 2016 schedule are in Dallas against TCU and Navy and on the road at Baylor. Whether you are planning on cheering on the Mustangs at home games or supporting SMU on the road, TicketCity has some of the best deals for all SMU Mustangs' tickets, including home and away games.
The SMU Mustangs play their home games at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Ford Stadium has been home to the Mustangs since 2000 and can seat over 31,000 fans. The stadium stands on the site of SMU's old Ownby Stadium, and is one of the newest stadiums in the country. SMU is known for having one of the best student sections anywhere and Gerald J. Ford Stadium is consistently one of the toughest stadiums in the State of Texas for opponents to get a win. The SMU Mustangs home bench is on the Gerald J. Ford Stadium sideline with sections 100-108. Gerald J. Ford Stadium parking information is covered in our Mustangs event guide.
TCU Horned Frogs, Rice Owls, Navy Midshipmen
The biggest college football rivalry in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex pits these two athletic and academic powerhouses against each other. The two schools first met in 1915 and have played in all but 6 years since then. The winner of the game has been awarded the Iron Skillet Trophy since 1946, after a TCU fan confronted and made a wager with a SMU fan after seeing him grill frog legs in a skillet. These schools compete for players, students, fans, and much North Texas football pride.
Two of the most accomplished football programs from private universities, SMU-Rice is one of the better rivalries in the State of Texas. The matchup dates back to 1916 and reached its height when both schools were members of the Southwest Conference. The winner is awarded the Mayor's Cup and Texas bragging rights. With SMU leaving to join the AAC, this rivalry has been put on hold, with fans from both sides hoping that it is brought back soon.
One of the budding rivalries in college football, these two traditional powers battle for the Gansz Trophy. Created in 2009, the Gansz Trophy represents the ties between the two programs and is named after Frank Gansz who played at Navy, and coached at SMU. The schools have played over 15 times dating back to 1930. With both Navy and SMU joining the AAC, this rivalry will be played annually, giving fans and players hope that the best of this rivalry is yet to come.
TicketCity offers a big selection of SMU Mustangs football tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. SMU tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee AAC opponents like UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for unranked, non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer the best opportunity to purchase SMU tickets near face value.
The Mustangs 2017-2018 football schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the AAC. SMU plays in the American Athletic Conference, which means games against UCF, USF, Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Tulsa, and UCONN. Game times are announced by the AAC as soon as the TV schedule is set. SMU's home opener is typically one of the most popular games. They also compete with TCU for the Iron Skillet. If you are looking for Mustangs news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official SMU Mustangs team roster.
SMU Mustangs season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase SMU football season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
SMU's rivalry with TCU is without a doubt the biggest game on the schedule. The two most prominent football programs in DFW, the players, coaches, and fan bases dream about winning this game. The history of the Iron Skillet Trophy shows that the passion and pride involved with this game is not limited to what happens on the field.
SMU is home to one of the largest, and most exciting tailgating events in the country. Known to as "Boulevarding," thousands of passionate Mustangs fans stretch from the Boulevard in front of Dallas Hall all the way to Hughes-Trigg. There are all kinds of activities for people of all ages, including mouthwatering food, great drinks, and a plethora of Pony pride.

Article Header
- It was business as usual for the Isaksen sisters, Margaux ( 21) and Isabella (19) both of Fayettville, Arkansas. They both qualified from their semi-final groups to the Women's final to be held Saturday, May 11th. Though it sounds as easy as falling off a log for them (they both have made the finals in every world cup this season) it wasn't quite as easy as it reads on paper.
Margaux, who held a comfortable lead going into the Combined event after fencing an excellent 975 and swimming a season best 2:1
, neglected to double check the batteries on her laser pistol (laser pistols are battery powered and the athletes responsibility) and the battery literally died on her final series forcing her to "time-out" and wait the full 50 seconds until she could chase down the field over the final 800 meters and qualify.
Not to be outdone, Isabella who had a disappointing fence 776 points and a solid swim, 2:2
, found herself in 24th place before the Combined. The younger Isaksen rose to the occasion and finished second in the Combined over-all with only 3 misses out of 20 targets over the 2 mile course. This fantastic effort qualified her easily to Saturday's final. So if Shakespeare was in the Budapest audience today he might have summed it up, "All's well that end's well."
Follow 2012 Olympian and US Army Sergeant Dennis Bowsher as he competes in the men's semi-final on Friday, May 10.

Changes in patient outcomes coincide with increased nursing hours

Implications for practice and research
■ The paper's findings align with previous evidence establishing a link between levels of nurse staffing and patient outcomes, and are important for policy makers and other stakeholders to consider.
■ Future evaluations should include all patients who may have been impacted by such policies, and use more rigorous methods to investigate a possible causal link between the policy and those outcomes.
Research has indicated that nurse staffing levels are often related to patient outcomes and this has led some to propose that staffing levels should be set at a statutory minimum; it is not clear, however, whether such policies are effective. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of policies and practices are essential to the efficiency of healthcare planning and service delivery. An investigation of the impact of the nursing hours per …

Thanks to the celebration committee
To the editor:
I want to thank the committee who was responsible for the Celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Hermann Monument Cornerstone and the 150th Anniversary of the New Ulm Battery.
It was evident that there was a lot of work put into this celebration. There were so many wonderful events that entertained New Ulm all day long.
The fireworks display was fantastic. It was fun to see so many people in the park, enjoying the evening, listening to the great band and watching the fireworks.
Thank you.
Jane Stueber

Finding new truck route worth the effort
Marquette city officials launched an effort this week to open up a dialogue with its neighbors involving the large increase in truck traffic through their communities that is on the horizon.
The city commission approved a motion to have the city manager attempt to organize a joint meeting of the commission, the Marquette County Board, Marquette Township Board and Marquette County Road Commission to discuss alternative truck routes to the one Rio Tinto plans to haul its ore from the Eagle mine to its Humboldt Mill.
Concerns over the increase in truck traffic from the mine, which is expected to begin production in 2014, became more significant when a plan to construct a new north-south haul road – Marquette County Road 595 – through the woods from the mine to the mill was scrapped.
Rio Tinto now plans to use its originally intended route, which involves trucking the ore from Eagle Mine on County Road AAA to CR 510, then on CR 510 to CR 550, south on CR 550 to the city of Marquette, then on Wright Street to U.S. 41 and finally west on U.S. 41 to the mill.
While we maintain our stance that the CR 595 option was by far the best route, particularly for public safety reasons, it's a good idea to have the county, city and township seriously explore an alternative to driving the trucks through residential areas and on busy roads.
However, the point made by city commissioner Fred Stonehouse that having the full commissions and boards gather for a joint meeting would not be very productive is well taken.
Instead, the commissions and boards – as well as their constituents – would be better served by appointing a limited number of representatives each to a panel that would work on the issue.
In addition, the panel should also include representatives of Rio Tinto, the logging industry and other trucking interests and perhaps state and federal agencies that oversee transportation.
With all these interested parties working together on the trucking issue, perhaps a feasible alternative route could be identified, permitted and built before the constant stream of heavy trucks rumbles through town and the township.

Advanced Micro Devices has had major issues with the 32nm silicon-on-insulator process technology. As a result of those problems, the yields of the company's code-named Llano accelerated processing units (APUs) were so low that the company had to delay them by many months. Besides, those problems affected release schedule of next-gen Bulldozer micro-processors. But the issues seem to be largely behind AMD.
"We had been having slow kind of ramp of the yield curve [with 32nm SOI]. [...] I can tell you today that we are now [on the ramp take off part] of the yield curve. Our 32nm is healthy and it is ramping up to support our product launches next year," said Chekib Akrout, senior vice president of technology group at AMD, during the company's conference with financial analysts.
As previously reported, AMD currently promises its partners to start mass production of its eight-core code-named Zambezi processor for desktops using 32nm SOI fabrication process in April, 2011. The chip will be not only AMD's first central processing unit made using 32nm SOI at Globalfoundries, but it will be the first processor based on the highly-anticipated Bulldozer micro-architecture. The Zambezi product will be released to market in Q2, according to Mr. Akrout, whereas its server brethren will see the light of the day in Q3 2011.
Meanwhile, according to sources familiar with AMD Llano launch schedule, the company will only obtain engineering samples of Llano that it can provide to partners in March, 2011, and will have production candidate in June next year. The firm currently plans to start mass production of Llano in July, 2011.
The fact that AMD and Globalfoundries have solved the problems with 32nm technology process is a good news for AMD as products made using the latest fabrication tech should not only improve competitive position of the company against Intel Corp., but also prove the feasibility of the acquisition of ATI Technologies back in 2006.
Unfortunately for AMD, the company's manufacturer will only start mass production of 32nm chips about 1.5 years behind Intel Corp. and only about six months before the world's largest maker of chips starts to manufacture processors at 22nm node.

Whether it's Half-Life's well-polished single-player experience, Left 4 Dead's intense multiplayer mayhem, or the amusing puzzle-like experience that was Portal, it's hard to argue with Valve pedigree, but you can certainly try if you'd like.
Which character out of the Half Life series do you like the most?
I would pick Barney ^_^.
i would have to pick dog i think he's cool due to him being bulit up from a tiny dog bot its cool that he bulit his way up and did'nt come like this out of the box plus he can chuck car across junkyards
Either Alyx or her dad. Those are by far my favorites.

Over the past decade and a half, director Paul Weitz (who has also written some of his films) has been exploring adult-child – sometimes parent-child – relationships. They were there, in the background, in "American Pie," one was right upfront in "About a Boy," and, of course, there was the comic in-law business in "Little Fockers" and the searing father-son story of "Being Flynn." In "Admission," based on the Jean Hanff Korelitz novel, there are parent-child and student-mentor relationships left and right. Tina Fey stars as a Princeton admissions officer, playing opposite Paul Rudd, as an alternative high school teacher who tries to get her interested in accepting a young protégé. Weitz spoke about the film in New York.Why is it that so much of your work is about shaping young minds?I have three little kids, and certainly parenting has changed so much. Parenting in my dad's generation – the WWII generation –was really different and strict. It would be utterly ineffective in dealing with my kids. Also, having waited a while to have kids, the question does present itself of whether you're actually going to be any good at parenting.Was working with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd different from working with other actors?The great thing about directing for me is how different actors are from each other. In their makeup, there's instinct and there's analysis. Eventually the two things have to be going together. Because if you have a purely instinctive actor, but they're walking away from the lights while they're talking, then you're in some trouble. There's always something you have to be doing with your rational brain. And when you have somebody like Tina – somebody who's able to analyze what's going on with their character and what's going on with the whole story – that's really helpful. Paul is the same way. When I first told him about it, he was really excited because he wanted to work with Tina. Then I sent the script to him and he didn't want to do it because he felt the character was soft, and a bit of a cliché. So I worked on the character with him, and rewrote with him.Are you, as usual, working on many projects at once?I'm writing a couple of original ideas and I'm working on adapting a novel which has been around for a while, called "Bel Canto," by Ann Patchett. It would be really challenging to make into a good film. I'd direct and write it. I hope I'm up to the task.What do you like about doing adaptations?I feel slightly guilty about doing adaptations, because it's almost impossible to do justice to a novel. The last adaptation I did – "Being Flynn" – was an awesome situation, in all but the fact that nobody saw it. It was Nick Flynn's life story, and I became good friends with Nick. And now he's written a book called "The Reenactments," about the experience of processing his life through having a film made of it. So now I'm a character in his memoir.

As long as the pizza gets eaten it's not a waste. Besides, what's your beef with Malt liquor? Evil eye..lol
It's like putting filet mignon in stew. There are more appropriate cuts of beef for that sort of thing, which are in turn pretty inappropriate as feature steaks paired solo with asparagus and potato.

The Most Fashionable Rooms of the Week
It's a shame Julianne Moore keeps racking up awards for her acting, because the interior design world would happily embrace her as one of its own. The screen star does all of her own decorating—inspired, she says, by her mother, a Scottish immigrant with a passion for home design. "She was always trying to put a house together with no money, sewing her own slipcovers and curtains, using whatever we had," she says. The actress constantly tweaks the New York brownstone she shares with her husband, director Bart Freundlich, and their two children; last summer, she moved up the kitchen a full floor. "My mother always said a house is never finished," Moore says. "That's what makes it interesting."
I've used them in every house I've lived in for the past 20 years. I never tire of them.

Someone has to have after party pics!ReplyDelete
Yeah there are some tweets from few fans who saw Rob at the after-party. Hopefully some pics will show up. But if there are none, I'm fine with that too. Hopefully this time paps would leave them alone and the craziness surrounding their relationship would die down.ReplyDelete
I read elsewhere that Rob was at the screening too. He sneaked in quietly so Kristen could have her big night. Then off to the afterparty.ReplyDelete
If that was Francis Ford Coppola, I hope Kristen made a good impression on him. He seemed pleased to have met her. Cross your fingers! - LaarniReplyDelete
Kristen did look a bit tired. It seems like she hasn't totally recovered from the flu yet. But she tried her best to attend the event. She said before she won't miss a chance to promo OTR. I'm happy to know Rob was by her side at the time. They've always support each other. Take care, both of them.ReplyDelete
I think the tweets are true. I love the way they support each other. They act like normal people which make them more closer to me.ReplyDelete
So rob was there, ooh I'm so happy..robsten foreverReplyDelete
Aw our dear baby girl... do hope she feels better soon!!
Is it me or does her face look a lot younger than usual? Anyways she is gorgeous, and stunning and pure perfection. Love it hows she is owning all her looks! You go girl!! :D
Love to hear this. Robsten forever. So happy they sneaked away from paps, but i have to confess would be so happy if there was one tiny pic with both of them, one pic wich didnt bother them. I've missed them and have been so sad over the circumstances around the latest pics of them together at lax. Poor kristen looked tired but still so beutiful.
Gorgeous,stunning and beautiful!ReplyDelete
She looks lovely and so beautiful!!!!!ReplyDelete
Yes, but you need the name of the twitter account or a link to read the tweets. For example if you wanna read the tweets from RobstenDreams you can just google @RobstenDreams and then you will get a link to their twitter account (don't forget the "@", it's important) or you can go directly to https://twitter.com/name of the account.ReplyDelete
Kristen looked spectacular!! Hair..makeup...outfit...flawless!! Hope Rob and Kristen had a great time at the after party.ReplyDelete
