Newcomer 'The Last Stand,' action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger's comeback, managed only 10th place.
Arnold Schwarzenegger vowed he'd be back.
Maybe he's running a little late.
Despite some of the best reviews of his career, Schwarzenegger's first feature film since his run as California governor didn't exactly win over the moviegoing electorate. The Last Stand collected $6.3 million and only 10th place at the box office over the weekend, according to studio estimates from Hollywood.com.
MORE: The weekend's top 10 films
The haul was a third of many analysts' expectations and placed the shoot-'em-up well behind the low-budget horror film Mama, which coasted to the top of the box office with $28.1 million.
Stand's subpar performance didn't stun analysts, who expected audiences to be leery of an old-school action film from a star who has recently made only sporadic cameos in films like The Expendables franchise.
Still, the debut is a letdown, particularly given reviews and fan reaction. While he has never been a critical darling, Schwarzenegger earned a thumbs-up from 57% of the nation's critics, says survey site Rottentomatoes.com. Fans were more impressed: About 73% of moviegoers said they liked it, giving it hope for a longer run in Hollywood's normally sluggish winter.
"Arnold's back, but it looks like Jessica has his number," says Ray Subers of Boxofficemojo.com.
That would be Jessica Chastain, who anchors not only Mama but also the Oscar contender Zero Dark Thirty, which landed in second place.
The low-budget horror film Mama stormed theaters, earning about $8 million more than forecast, thanks in part to the appeal of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, executive producer of the $15 million film.
Mama rated well with critics and fans. About 62% of critics liked the movie, compared to 71% of moviegoers, says Rottentomatoes.com.
"I would have been happy to open this movie in the mid-teens," says Nikki Rocco, distribution chief for Universal Pictures, which released Mama.
Rocco says the PG-13 film drew "females into the theaters in a way you wouldn't believe. They love the supernatural movies."
Zero Dark Thirty, the chronicle of the 10-year hunt for Osama bin Laden, earned $17.6 million over the weekend, lifting the $40 million film's total to $56 million since its release Dec. 19 and bolstering its chances at the Feb. 24 Academy Awards. Zero is nominated for five Oscars, including best picture and best lead actress for Chastain.
Sony's Steve Elzer calls the sophomore weekend "a fantastic second-week result" in national expansion.
The Martin Luther King holiday weekend proved kind to other awards seekers. Silver Linings Playbook, the Bradley Cooper comedy also nominated for best picture, took third place with $11.4 million, lifting its 10-week total to $55.3 million.
The mobster drama Gangster Squad took fourth with $9.1 million.
Broken City, the crime drama starring Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe, didn't muscle up much at the box office, rounding out the top five with $9 million, well below projections. Critics excoriated the film: Only 24% gave it a thumbs-up, compared to a middling 58% approval rating from fans.
Final figures are expected Tuesday because of the holiday.
The year is off to a strong start for the industry. Revenues and attendance are up 14% through the same period last year, says Hollywood.com.

Marco van Ginkel has revealed that a conversation with Netherlands team-mate Nigel de Jong helped influence his move to Milan.
The 21-year-old followed Fernando Torres in departing Chelsea for the Serie A giants, the midfielder penning a one-year loan deal at San Siro.
Van Ginkel only moved to Stamford Bridge in July 2013 but his debut campaign was blighted by an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in a League Cup fixture with Swindon Town last September.
The Dutchman will now look to kick-start his career with Filippo Inzaghi's men and revealed how fellow Netherlands international De Jong played a part in his decision to choose Milan.
"I am very pleased [with the move], Milan is a great club where many great Dutch players have played," he told the club's official website.
"I'm happy to be here. I know Nigel de Jong from my experiences with the national team, I talked with him about Milan and he told me good things about the club.
"I have not met him here yet, but I'll see him soon."
Van Ginkel also explained the attributes he possesses that he believes will make him a success in Italy and the ex-Vitesse man is itching to play regular first-team football.
"I'm a midfielder who defends, but I also know I can score goals," he added. "I want to be important for the team, I'm a team player.
"I want to play games and accumulate minutes. I think at AC Milan I will have the opportunity to play matches in a great competition, with many strong teams."

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Mother-of-pearl is found on the shells of mollusks, such as mussels and oysters, and the shells of pseudopods, such as snails. When the young of these creatures come into the world, they create a shell "house" in order to preserve their existence. The walls of this housing are formed with layers of their secretions, ensuring a simultaneous growth of house and creature together.
Depending on the type of animal and the environment in which it lives, secretions create various shapes and colors found on the different types of mother-of-pearl. White mother-of-pearl comes from pearl-bearing oysters. It features high reflective properties and is one of the most commonly used types of this material. Iridescent mother-of-pearl is a type in which the colors of pink and green are predominant, while variegated mother-of-pearl is a multicolored type. Stone mother-of-pearl is white with a low reflective power, while mat mother-of-pearl is dull grey and also has a low reflective power.
The shiny quality of mother-of-pearl has attracted attention for thousands of years. The Louvre Museum features mother-of-pearl objects that belonged to the Sumerians and were found in Mesopotamia. In China, a dish with geometric-shaped pieces of mother-of-pearl was found that belonged to the Tang Dynasty in 618-906 A.D. Mother-of-pearl work was also common in ancient Italy, Greece and Cyprus. Today, different types of mother-of-pearl are commonly used in the art world. This type of art is certainly a challenge, for in order for them to be made into works of art, the mother-of-pearl pieces must be thick enough to withstand being worked upon and be of high enough quality to beautifully reflect colors of the rainbow.
Often referred to as the "Queen of Garnets," rhodolite is the violet-red variety of the garnet family. Its most prized color is a beautiful raspberry, but the gem can also be found in shades of pink, red and wine. The name is derived from the Greek words "rhodon" and "lithos," meaning rose-stone, which connects the gemstone today with the raspberry-pink flower known as the rhododendron.
Rhodolite is a combination of almandine and pyrope garnets. Although it is occasionally found in volcanic rock, the stone is most often found in alluvial deposits in the form of water-worn pebbles. For this reason, large solitaires weighing 5.00ct or more are seldom seen at retail. Most rhodolite is mined in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It ranks a 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is ideal for jewelry.
The ancients wore rhodolites as amulets for protection from injury or death in battles. Modern folklore says rhodolite can help one understand dreams, as well as bring about love and devotion when given as a gift.
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

Something to wear with leggings
"These provide fairly good support for such a slender shoe. I like that the shape will pair nicely with skinny jeans or leggings.They are very light weight. I feel like I am wearing a jazz dancing shoe.My one criticism is that the pull tab on back of the right shoe dug into my ankle a bit. I would not recommend wearing them without socks. I notice another reviewer suggested cutting the pull tab off of the shoe."

The psychological effects of cancer treatment on erections
Many men report disappointment, fear, and distress when they have difficulty with erections. They report that they don't feel "like a man" and that something important is missing. Men may report a general unhappiness with life and depression when they have problems with erections. These feelings are a natural part of coping with erection problems. And most men, if they are able find effective treatments to help with their erections, will start to feel better. If these feelings are severe or persist, most men find it very helpful to see a mental health professional who specializes in sexual issues or a psychiatrist who can help address these feelings.
Worries about self-image and performance can sometimes lead to erection problems, too. Instead of letting go and feeling excited, a man may focus on whether he will be able to function – his fear of failure can make it happen. He may blame the resulting problem on his medical condition, even though he might be able to have an erection if he were able to relax.
A therapist who specializes in helping patients with sexual issues often assists in the treatment of erection problems caused by anxiety and stress. Any treatment for an erection problem should be based on the results of a thorough exam, which should include both medical questions (history) and certain medical tests. (See the "Professional help" section for more information.)

The world's best hotels.Get the list.
NEWTON, Mass., Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel site*, today announced the top ten infamous hotels, according to TripAdvisor editors and the TripAdvisor Popularity Index – a measurement of overall traveler satisfaction.

With arguably one of the world's most infamous hotels, The Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C., currently closed for renovation, it has been left to these ten hotels to lead the way.
1. Hotel Adlon Kempinski, Berlin, Germany – Average Nightly Rate: $313 - $692
Hotel Adlon Kempinski enjoys a prestigious location in central Berlin, adjacent to the famous Brandenburg Gate. The hotel gained notoriety in November 2002, when pop legend Michael Jackson infamously dangled one of his children over the balcony to the screaming crowds below. The hotel still attracts many celebrities, politicians and even royalty (the Queen and the Prince of Wales have stayed here.) "One of the finest hotels we've experienced," noted one TripAdvisor traveler.
2. The Mark, New York City, New York – Average Nightly Rate: $543 - $995
Johnny Depp's destruction of a $1,200 suite is cited as a perfect example of how to trash a hotel room. The destruction took place on the morning of September 13, 1994, when Depp and his then-girlfriend, supermodel Kate Moss, had an argument and promptly trashed the hotel room. Depp was taken in handcuffs to the 19th Precinct and told to pay the hotel nearly $10,000 in damages. After the event, The Mark's owner thanked Depp's publicist for all the free publicity. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "The hotel is just beautiful – a great mix of art deco and modern design."
3. The Mercer Hotel, New York City, New York – Average Nightly Rate: $410 - $560
The Mercer became infamous after an incident in 2005 involving Russell Crowe, a cell phone and an unfortunate member of staff. The Gladiator star became annoyed after he couldn't call home to Australia, and got so frustrated that he threw his cell at one of the hotel employees. He was arrested early the next morning, given a $5,000 bail order and charged with second-degree assault. "Yet again, The Mercer is faultless," added a TripAdvisor traveler.
4. Sunset Tower Hotel, West Hollywood, California – Average Nightly Rate: $251 - $352
Located on Sunset Boulevard, the Sunset Tower Hotel opened its doors in 1931 and has been a favorite haunt for celebrities ever since. Frank Sinatra, Howard Hughes and John Wayne all lived in the hotel's penthouse at different times. John Wayne reportedly brought a cow up to the penthouse apartment, explaining to his guests that if they wanted cream with their coffees they wouldn't get it much fresher than this! As one TripAdvisor traveler said, "A whole string of celebrities have stayed in this hotel – we just had to visit."
5. Hotel Ritz Paris, Paris, France – Average Nightly Rate: $1,677 - $2,730
This was to be the venue for Princess Diana and boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed's final evening. They dined in style at the majestic 5-Star Ritz Hotel in Paris, just hours before a tragic car accident claimed their lives. The hotel boasts a magnificent selection of prestigious rooms and suites which are tastefully decorated in classical French style. According to one TripAdvisor traveler, "The hotel itself is great, with stunning views. However, there are many tourists because of the Diana connection."
6. Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth, Montreal, Quebec – Average Nightly Rate: $135 - $308
The Fairmont is infamous for being the location where Beatle John Lennon and Yoko Ono had their 'Bed-in for Peace' in 1969, and where the song 'Give Peace a Chance' was recorded. The one-bedroom Executive suite features memorabilia composed of press articles, framed gold records and pictures of the famous couple. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "It's old world elegance."
7. Chateau Marmont, Los Angeles, California – Average Nightly Rate: $480 - $520
The Chateau Marmont has served as the backdrop for a number of infamous events in the lives of celebrated rock stars and actors. Led Zeppelin band members rode their motorcycles through the lobby to cheering guests, and Jim Morrison used what he called "the eighth of my nine lives" here, after hurting his back while dangling from a drain pipe. Britney Spears was reportedly banned from the hotel for appalling table manners in 2007, and the popular Eagles song, "Hotel California," is thought to be written about the hotel. According to one TripAdvisor traveler, "If you want to experience what it is like mingling with the stars, then stay here – we had a fantastic time."
8. Chelsea Hotel, New York City, New York – Average Nightly Rate: $216 - $515
This hotel has a colorful history, both as the birth place of creative modern art and the home of bad behavior. Bob Dylan composed songs while staying here and it is also known as the place where Dylan Thomas died of alcohol poisoning in 1953. Other famous guests include Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen and Arthur C. Clarke, who wrote "2001: A Space Odyssey" while in residence. According to one TripAdvisor traveler, "The Chelsea Hotel is unlike any other – decadent, delightful and of course, infamous... It is as social as you want it to be or as quiet as you need."
9. Palace Station Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada – Average Nightly Rate: $28 - $102
The O. J. Simpson robbery case arose in 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada. A group of men led by Simpson entered a room in the Palace Station Hotel and took various objects of sporting memorabilia. Simpson was arrested soon after and held without bail. Simpson denied the allegation that he or anyone else was carrying weapons; however, in 2008 he was found guilty of all charges and sentenced to 33 years in prison. "Hostel price for hotel quality," noted a TripAdvisor traveler.
10. Washington Hilton, Washington D.C., District of Columbia – Average Nightly Rate: $141 - $372
Just 69 days into the presidency of Ronald Reagan, there was an attempt on his life by John Hinckley Jr. at the Hilton Hotel in Washington D.C. The President was shot and wounded along with three others, and suffered a punctured lung – but swift medical attention lead to a speedy recovery. More recently, the events of March 1981 have been portrayed in the 2001 film, "The Day Reagan was Shot." A TripAdvisor traveler added, "It is currently my favorite DC hotel."
"Most hotels would prefer to be known for their quality of service or amazing facilities, but sometimes their success and reputation stems from something completely out of their hands," said Karen Drake, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor.

Great Boots for Jeans
"These boots are almost exactly what I'm looking for but I have very slim legs/ankles and the top is a little too wide for me to wear with shorts, and that's what I was looking for. The insole is a little rigid but I'm sure they'll break in. Love the color and cute design so I'm bummed to have to return them."

Comfy ones
"I have a mixed feelings about those shoes.. On the one hand, they are really comfy, in a very beautiful color, looks great with skinny jeans, leggings and I suppose with the casual dresses as well - just a pear of shoes I was looking for. On the other hand, the leather of one of the shoe is more wrinkled than the other, so they are different from each other.However, as I purchased them for a very good price and they are leather ones, I decided to keep them. Actually, I think (and hope) that they will look more equal after a wile."

Trendy & Cute
"I love these boots! I bought them in the natural color and they go with everything. Even the laces are cool-- Nice and sturdy. They are true to size and comfy. Although I may be putting an insert in to give them a little extra cushion. I recently bought similar boots but they squeak when I walk, probably cuz they weren't real leather. But these boots don't make a sound. I've worn them twice since I got them. They already started to show minor signs of wear but its not a big deal. They got little black scuff lines and wrinkles where the ankle bends. All in all, I'm very happy with these boots. They are very stylish and a great quality."

So beautiful
"Got these for my 12 year old but would get myself one after seeing them in person. Gorgeous color and distressed look. Good quality. Looks expensive. Soft leather. All around a great pair of boots. My daughter fell in love immediatelly."

From today's The StarPhoenix editorial.
Given the fiasco involving route cancellations that greeted riders on the first day of a new school year, it's difficult to take seriously the City of Saskatoon's commitment to developing a bus rapid transit system, improve services to meet the demands of growth and lessen the urban carbon footprint.
City Hall seems to be pinning the blame in part on a shortage of qualified heavy duty mechanics in the market, as well as an inability to reach a contract with its transit employees, which is forcing it to advertise for mechanics at wage rates based on the expired 2012 contract.
A month after transit director Bob Howe apologized to commuters after cancelling seven routes because too many buses needed repairs for short-staffed mechanics to fix them all, and described the situation as an "anomaly," frustrated university students and high schoolers on Tuesday saw the cancellation of direct routes to campus, downtown and many high schools.
In addition, no buses will be added to the busiest routes at peak travel times, and transit officials advise commuters to avoid peak morning and evening trips if possible. It's those who are trying to get to work or school on time, and return home afterward, who are creating the "peaks," and it's transit's job to accommodate their needs, not the other way around.
The cancellations and delays in the implementation of new routes were announced on Friday, before the Labour Day long weekend. Transit users, who have had to cope in recent years with frequent changes to routes and services, can't be blamed for questioning why the city cannot seem to get its act together on managing the service properly.
"We have been in an environment of labour uncertainty for the last number of months which has proven to be challenging," noted the city's news release on Friday.
Yet, what isn't clear is what role Saskatoon's policy of buying second-hand buses that other cities don't want is playing in creating the demand for more mechanics and a repair backlog that had rendered the transit service unable to field a full complement of buses for its routes.
Mr. Howe says transit has sent as many buses as possible to be repaired by private companies. Given that the problem has been obvious for at least a month, when the previous route cancellations occurred, when did the city began to contract out the work?
Surely, transit officials should have known long before Friday that they lacked enough buses and told the public, instead of waiting until the last possible moment to disclose the fact. This is far from acceptable customer service and effective issues management.
Mr. Howe said in July that transit was upgrading its aging fleet and expects to get five new buses this fall. It's now obvious that the decrepitude of his 158-bus fleet has reached a point where even more replacements are needed soon, making council's decision to use for the new commuter bridge the funding slated for bus replacements seem unwise.
When it comes to transit, Saskatoon talks a better game than it delivers.
Excellent editorial but I have one bone to pick with it. I am not even sure City Hall talks a good game about transit. Â If anything the message that I have heard from City Council at budget time is that transit is a burden on the city as they transfer more costs onto riders.
I have written about our aging fleet before but it is worth repeating.  Some of our busses are so old that people travel to Saskatoon just to ride of them like rolling museum pieces.  They shouldn't be repaired by Saskatoon Transit but the Western Development Museum.  Instead of replacing them, Saskatoon City Council is building a bridge for cars.
It is to be expected. Â With the retirement of Myles Heidt and the defeat of Bev Dubois, there are no councillors who are strong on public transit. Â Unlike Calgary and Edmonton who both feature mayors who use and advocate for public transit, I am unaware of any councillors who actually use it. Â Maybe that explains some of the problems that we have.
The other problem is the Saskatchewan government contributes nothing to the bottom line of our transit in cities.  Whereas Manitoba pays for almost half of Winnipeg's transit costs (and injects capital for BRT), we get nothing except some money for Access Transit.  Arguably that money is spent on STC which is still needed but it means that Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and Regina are some of the few cities that are left trying to provide funding for transit with no help.  While I agree that council has handled this poorly (again), a big part of the blame lands with governments going back to the Blakeney era that ignored public transit in the cities.

Jessica lange. And..ReplyCancel
Maybe they wore really high uncomfortable shoes and just said eff it?ReplyCancel
Roberts for sure only other winners there were Berry, Lange and Bates and I do not see them as going for the same roles as Roberts.ReplyCancel
Oh and I forgot Octavia S.ReplyCancel
Julia Roberts and Annabeth Gish??ReplyCancel
Lets try J.R. and former close friend Robin Wright.ReplyCancel
@Haywood, I like your Roberts-Wright guess. I'd take Robin in a role any day over Julia. She just keeps getting better with age.ReplyCancel
I smile just thinking about Robin Wright snubbing Julia RobertsReplyCancel
Def think it's Julia Riberts. Ah always takes off her shoes. I think she has a foot issue. Remember wheelchair and Geirge Clooney? Plus us amazons get uncomfortable towering over everyone when wearing stripper shoes.
Dunno if Robin won Oscar or not. But sounds like a good guess. She is tall too ((heels off.)ReplyCancel
Wonder if Uma was around.ReplyCancel
How about that HOT white backless jumpsuit sexy Robin Wright wore to the Emmys-niiice.ReplyCancel
oh,purpose of my post was to say Robin has NOT won an Oscar-darnReplyCancel
It was a garden party…everyone took their shoes off lol!
Maybe weren't photographed,but whose gonna wear heels..especially in grass..the y set up a park/floral theme thang
Def. Foster, she doesn't work as an actress anymore really..Roberts does..that's why she was nominated…lol
Moore was there too..looking gorgeous.
And she is much more….lower profile and less on radar when they were competing for parts 20 years ago
Well another idea if Enty is being loose with the Oscar winner label is Halle Berry and Angela Bassett.
We know Lange and Bates are friends!
Foster and Lange/Bates? Seems petty of her.
Maybe Julia and Julianne but again I find it hard to believe that Julia would care, or feel threatened by her.ReplyCancel
…that bitch Jodi. The Beaver made her do it!
Also,re:other BI, she brought her wife Alexandra to Emmys -their First public appearance together,just saying.ReplyCancel
@Tricia It can't be Julianne Moore. She has never won an Oscar. Only nominated.
Re-read the blind. This is one of the few times Enty doesn't say Winner/Nominated. He only says Academy Award winners.
Nice try, tho. 🙂ReplyCancel
@Jennifer, nope, Laura Dern has not won an Oscar(nominated for Ramblin'Rose)ReplyCancel
Jodie might have wanted Erin Brokovich. I could see Julia thinking she could handle being Clarice (what a shitshow that would have been!)
Also, Jodie had a weird moment when she did at least one bad comedy (Maverick). Maybe she wanted My Best Friend's Wedding or something like that.ReplyCancel

Hello chaps, welcome to another edition of angry asian man's exhaustive pedantry. If you were left out, worry not for you are still a special snowflake in your mother / daughter / cellmate's eyes <3. We begin as we have since time immemorial, a signal of our manliness: Notice the fine house appliances in the background. iGents need good toast with bespoke grill patterns. An interesting example of a four button DB arranged the way our favourite lilliputian British royal liked it but on a taller, slimmer man. I really liked how the four button arrangement gives a very long lapel line but doesn't have the precariousness of a six button buttoning at the bottom. I get this but I don't like it. It says to me: "I am a fruity gangster." I don't care what the Koreans say. (yobusay-oooo) The resolution killed the pattern a bit but I thought this clay red check was very impressive against the almost electric blue tie. Our glorious leader striding out of the office. Another fruitful day at the Colliseum! I am very interested in the recent spate of darker trou, lighter sport coat outfits we've been seeing. The muted, cool colour palette is saved from obscurity by a touch of red in the shoes and square. Sharp, simple and rakish. The longer collar points are wonderfully British. The chap on the left looks great. Olive green sportcoat against brown knit tie. Very well put together. The guy on the right looks like he just went dumpster diving. A great example of (I believe) a one button notch lapel done with a very classic flavour. The pink and grey tie/charcoal suit is well chosen. He wears a lot of unusually pink things but you have to give credit to the man for flying. I am pretty sure the blazer is a Thom Browne, what's really interesting is how the narrow lapels can: 1. work with fuller trousers and 2. accentuate a fit physique, not just a slender waif. The colour combination is undoubtedly beautiful and will sets hearts a-flutter at this year's annual cinema usher convention. The colours are very strong but very simple, just down to reds and blues with clean straight lines everywhere. However the gollum-esque stoop and the pelvic thrust stance makes the chap look preggers. The super sharp crease on the trousers was particularly impressive. If you want to know what old-school super-hard mohair looks like, well there it is. The outfit is simple but I'm liking the full, pleated trousers and contrast collar shirt. Scenery is nice too. Very elegant. Love the chestnutty/tan accessories even though the bag merely holds a banana and a thermos of cherry Kool-Aid. The shoes are worth a second mention, those (I believe) are the elusive St. Crispins in a very un-Corthay-ish last. I particularly like the 80s-ness of the tie and the palette is well chosen, mixing blues and yellows effectively. While the suit and shirt say "bespoke", the bow tie says "Bed, Bath & Beyond Shower Curtain Special". I like this because it has a whole lot of random junk on the tie. I have found this to be the case with many ties of the 60s era. The one I own is grey based with a pink triangle, a unicorn and circles linking up to form half an Olympic logo. I think the embroiderers back then just took the piss. This shirt also comes with a little bag of checkers pieces. While the hat says "fisherman" and the blue/grey should say "security guard", the lightness of the blue with the lime green tie save it. I approve. The quilted jacket is the territory of London real estate agents but I like the red knit tie so we'll let it slide. I don't know who the hell the Wallabies are but I wholeheartedly approve the vivid accents in the canary yellow Lamy Safari pen in the pocket and the stylish orange camera strap. This is ok, but the tie pushes it into caricature. The colour borders on obnoxious and it says "tie rack". I like this and it shows we're about to enter Autumn. The tie is a beautiful shade of green and one that is sadly absent in a lot of wardrobes. These are so sprezzatura I think I just sprezzed in my pants. There are lines and circles and curves and unicorns but I like the chaos. Very well executed though I find the way the pleats accentuate trouser bulging a bit disturbing. Clean, simple and holding a ladies' handbag. Just the way I likes it. Well chosen, colours mix well and I particularly like the extra stitching at the edge of the lapels. Unusual, but nice. The dark and muted colour palette is the only way to do this properly and the louche, floppy bow-tie is a nice touch. Looks good, not much else to say. Another great look, a lot of good bowties this week. The simple navy/white dot bowtie is one of those simple, great things that never looks (too) affected. The outfit is good, but I found the photo, with its comfortable decor and giant old-school radiator piping simmering blood from Tartarus, especially eye-catching. And to wrap it up, a goat. Sorry for the delay but I'm not really sorry. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do it again next week because I have to scrub Vox's multitude of Bugattis free of evidence.

Skip to comments.Rep. Olson Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Eric Holder
Posted on 11/13/2013 6:03:18 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) has introduced an Articles of Impeachment resolution against Attorney General Eric Holder for his role in Operation Fast and Furious and other scandals of President Barack Obamas administration.
Seven congressman have signed onto the resolution thus far in addition to Olson. They are Reps. Larry Bucshon (R-IN), Blake Farenthold (R-TX), Phil Roe (R-TN), Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA), Roger Williams (R-TX), Ted Yoho (R-FL), and Randy Weber (R-TX).
The Articles of Impeachment has four different sections. The first calls for Holders official removal because of his failure to comply with congressional subpoenas relating to Operation Fast and Furious. Holder has been voted on a bipartisan basis into both criminal and civil contempt of Congress for his failure to comply with the Fast and Furious subpoenas from House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA).
The second section of the Articles of Impeachment deals with Holders refusal to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the Controlled Substances Act, and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. The third section calls for Holders impeachment on the grounds that he has refused to prosecute any IRS officials involved in the scandal of unauthorized disclosure of tax records belonging to political donors.(continued)

Who r 'the others'? A practical joke-will get nowhere.
Send him to GITMO.
He deserves nothing but a life sentance in prison.
About time. Sheesh, they could have begun this 3 years ago.
Let them scream racism all they want, the only thing that will do is bring more unwanted attention to all those scandals and the why they have even treated their own constituents ( usefull idiots ) it's attention that they don't want or ill afford to have.
Good move.
All those who do support the Impeachment and try to block it...will be supporting Eric Holder.
Pour it on
Kids go to jail for grabbing a candy bar at 7-11
This guy steals the whole store and gets to call himself the Top Cop in the country
I meant 'All those who do not support Impeachment"...man I need to proofread better
introduced a resolution.....?? isn't a "resolution" the same as a stern letter?
Keep it coming
. . . and both have ignominiously earned the traitor's end.
He must be a"RACIST"??????????????????????????????
about time.
1 Congressman for the US Constitution.
The last Congress got a contempt citation against him, yeah, good job critters, and it expired on the last day of its term.
Yeah, Congress is gonna take away his birthday again. Rah rah rah. Better hurry, time's almost up you feckless .....
Obama will issue an EO declaring a pre-pardon.
- - - Original co-sponsors will be Reps. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), Ted Yoho (R-Fla.), Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), Larry Buschon (R-Ind.), Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), Randy Weber (R-Texas) and Roger Williams (R-Texas). Olson is a member of the Republican Study Committee, a caucus of House conservatives. - - -
FINALLY! Some US House Republicans have the courage to "hold Holder accountable!"
Next to Impeach should be Boehner, and then Obama, as Boehner will NOT Impeach Obama.
Strike while the iron is hot & RATS are on their knees. Not sure if will go anywhere but shine the light on these POS any chance you get.
I have not been too impressed with Pete lately but this is getting on the right track.
What Holder SHOULD do:
He SHOULD resign in shame or,
he SHOULD be fired.
Should he be impeached? Yes, if he does not resign
or is not fired. However, we know that the lack of
support for what SHOULD be supported will thrust more
grief upon those seeking impeachment than it ever
will on Holder.
Also, with Benghazi, IRS, and Ocare going on the folks
out there are already buried in scandal overload,
I fear.
That would be Pete Olson who strongly supports Boner. This move really surprises me as he has turned into a babbling idiot this last year. But then again election is coming.
Putting Soebarkah on notice...
I say again. That racist MFer should be frog marched in an orange jumpsuit from the DOJ.
I can think of three better places to send him- LSP @ Angola, MSP (Parchman), or Huntsville (TX).
Wow. Olson is my rep. I always thought he was just a backbencher who made safe votes so as not to draw attention to himself.
you let someone start talking about jail time for this moron and he will squeal like stuck pig. Oblahblah will pull out all the stops, and use every dirty trick in the book. Protecting Holder is protecting himself.
They need to act like Luis Guiterrez. Say they have 20 Democrats and 210 Republicans for impeachment of Holder.
There are Democrats who will vote for impeachment because it will affect their gun rights record.
Someone like John Barrow GA might be against voting for Holder because of voter fraud and black voters in his community.
Yeah, they NEED to, but they won't.
Best news I've heard all day. Lets pray that it actually goes somewhere. I'm sure the "racists" screams will start shortly after it's introduced.
Would be wonderful for BHO to lose his firewall.
Bingo! Pete trying to save his fanny. Donations must be down. He is a Bonehead fan, so this show of spine is a surprise.
Wow. Olson is my rep.
* * *
Call his office tomorrow or send a nice letter by fax (they basically ignore emails) telling him how much you appreciate his courage and vision! They care MUCH more about what their own constituents think than anything else.
"Send him to GITMO."
From "Kentucky Fried Movie"
...send him to Detriot
Yes, Holder IS a racist.
I'd like it brought up that he refused to prosecute any civil rights cases where the victim was white.
I've bad-mouthed Pete in the past as a good conservative but one with no passion or fight, always seemed to avoid the spotlight or controversy.
Well, I can't be prouder of my US Rep today. ...I take it all back!
Lieutenant Commander Pete Olson, Retired
Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Texas's 22nd district
Like the movie "Running Man" only he's the Gun Running Man
Thank God there are those in our government who are not afraid of the Obama machine.
One war at a time, as Lincoln once supposedly said.
IMO Holder does need to be sent to prison - but this is a long stretch. But there are many other issues I wish Olson would attack first which might have a quicker return on his investment - like heading up a group to elect Gohmert as Speaker, getting rid of Obamacare or at least getting rid of the subsidies for Congressmen and forcing them into the exchange, stopping the funding for EPA, Energy, Homeland Security and Education, stopping all the funding for any discretionary spending, shutting down the border and stopping government benefits for illegals in his own home state - to name just a few. Of course he won't touch the illegal issue because it involves his big business contributors.
Pete likes to do things he thinks are dramatic and will get his name in the headlines, regardless of whether they have any real chance of success or not, rather than doing the things they can accomplish without having to go through the Senate.
Would be nice to see him openly support efforts being made by Cruz if he wants to do something easy that would be meaningful.
Interesting that he has chosen to join with Randy Weber who, unlike Pete, has some real grassroots and TEA Party support. Know Randy personally and he is Conservative to the core.
Blake Farenthold looked pretty badass with the dark glasses on.

Every woman's got it: that tried-and-true black dress hanging her closet, the one that works as well at a company event as it does at a cousin's wedding. It's well-loved and well-worn, and, to be quite honest, it's a bit of a fashion crutch. Push it to the back of the closet this season, because there's a new LBD on the scene, the little bright dress.
Designers from Lela Rose to Derek Lam, Alice + Olivia to Gryphon clothing, are approaching the cocktail dress with an eye toward rainbow hues. For your next fancy affair, try a goldenrod Shoshanna dress in lieu of your favorite colorless frock. Pair it with nude shoes, delicate gold Alexis Bittar jewelry, and an easy up-do. It's a look that's sure to turn a few heads.

Dear Editor,
To our Utah members of Congress, please place immediate and appropriate emphasis on supporting legislation to further the passage of SBP Restoration, full concurrency for those with less than 50 percent disability, and the "Keep Our Promise To America's Military Retirees Act." These three issues effect in many cases the same people and if they are in the lower income brackets it has a devastating effect on them.
All three of these issues require legislative passage to meet past obligations made by our government. Please step forward and do the right thing for our retired military warriors, those who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to insure that our freedoms were safeguarded and maintained, and correct these injustices once and for all during this legislative session.

As Carroll County Judge-Executive Harold "Shorty" Tomlinson said Tuesday, "so far, so good."
Funding for the new Jefferson Community and Techinal College campus in Carrollton has cleared hurdle, after hurdle this year.
Gov. Steve Beshear included the project in his budget as part of a plan to invest in community colleges because they help put Kentuckians to work.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and at Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County we see the unfortunate connection between substance abuse and child abuse. According to The National Council of Child Abuse and Family Violence, "substance abuse exists in 40 to 80 percent of families in which the children are victims of abuse."
On Tuesday morning, I had the pleasure of attending the Breakfast of Champions put on each year by the Ohio Valley United Charities Inc.
It gives grant recipients the opportunity to tell the Board of Directors and major sponsors the various ways their generous donations are used throughout the community.
Each year, the Carroll County Public Library uses funds received from Ohio Valley United Charities Inc., to have our annual Summer Reading Program. The importance of the work being done with students over the summer months cannot be minimized.
When it comes to the state's budget, the past six years can be summed up in four words: Do more with less.
There hasn't been much choice, given that spending has been cut by $1.6 billion since 2008 and the state workforce is the smallest it has been since the 1970s. Some agencies have seen spending reduced by more than a third, while classroom funding for elementary and secondary education has been held steady for far too long.
On Thursday, the 45th day of the legislative session, the House passed its budget bill. This leaves us in the Senate 13 days to work on the budget, present it in a committee, and vote on a Senate version.
As we study the House's proposal, more information will come out regarding our response, priorities and review.
More and more websites are indexing historic newspapers, and the good news is, not all of them are subscription-based.
Anyone hoping to find historical information about their own community or about communities where their ancestors lived should go first to the Library of Congress website and click on the "Chronicling America" link – or go straight to ChroniclingAmerica.loc.gov.
If you were able to attend the Heroin Town Hall meeting sponsored by Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County, you heard a lot about Casey's Law.
With March the last full month of this year's legislative session, the Kentucky House and Senate are nearing the point where they will focus less on their own legislation and more on finding common ground with the other chamber.
While the House is still finalizing several of its key bills, my fellow representatives and I have already passed a productive list for the Senate to consider.
As February has come to a close, we have our longest days ahead of us this March in the Capitol.
We have now completed 37 days of the legislative session. The next 23 days will surely bring us some longer hours as tough decisions will have to be made. Hopefully the weather here in Frankfort gets a little warmer in March too.
Gov. Steve Beshear signed Senate Bill 7 into law this week. The new law allows nurse practitioners to prescribe medication without a physician as long as they meet the requirements.
Often you hear people blame their weight-loss struggles on a slow metabolism, and is it truly responsible for weight problems?
The process of metabolism is complex, involving numerous hormones and enzymes with varying functions in the body. This metabolism "network" sets the rate at which your body converts food into fuel, and this, in turn, establishes the efficiency of your body's fat-burning engine. This makes gaining and losing weight dependent on:
• Age. Metabolism naturally slows about 5 percent per decade after the age of 40.

Designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman showed pants coupled with black duchess jackets, satin strapless bustier tops and high-collared satin coats, along with their signature evening gowns.
NEW YORK — Georgina Chapman could be the poster girl for pregnancy.
Chapman, half of the duo behind luxe brand Marchesa, is expecting her second child with her husband, Harvey Weinstein. And she doesn't know the gender.
"Between us we have four girls now, so …" laughs Chapman. "Let's see. We might get a surprise."
On Wednesday afternoon, she and partner Keren Craig were busy putting the finishing touches on their other baby, the plush fall collection.
"It was based on Goya's Portrait of Maria Teresa de Vallabriga on Horseback. Equestrian feel with a Spanish vibe and matador trousers. Georgina really played around with the draping," says Craig.
This time, at an intimate show at the New York Public Library, the women offered up plenty of pants coupled with black duchess jackets, satin strapless bustier tops and high-collared satin coats, along with their signature evening gowns.
"A lot of the embroidery is taken from matador trousers and jackets. You see a lot of threadworks in bright colors," says Chapman.
And with the Oscars looming, the women are crossing their manicured fingers and toes that as usual, a big name will opt to wear one of their creations. Most famously, Sandra Bullock donned Marchesa when she won her award for The Blind Side in 2010.
"It's such an important occasion. It's such an honor," says Chapman.
So right after the show wraps, stylists will start contacting Craig and Chapman.
"Let's hope! We start shipping them out to L.A. tonight," says Craig of the dresses.
Given how glam both women look, do they ever simply wear sweats? "We had a lot of hair and makeup. That's the big secret right there," says Chapman. "You'd be quite shocked if you saw me at home."

Break the plain pork tenderloin routine with a spicy Asian sauce served alongside. It's hot off the grill in half an hour.
To cook the pork evenly, tuck under any thin edge of tenderloin and secure with kitchen string; remove string before slicing.
Serve with hot cooked rice, stir-fried vegetables and sliced fresh pineapple.
The wasabi aioli also makes a terrific sandwich spread.
