Stone Temple Farmers
RAY: We're back; you're listening to Car Talk with us, Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, and we're here to discuss cars, car repair and the new puzzler. Now, I have several potential new puzzlers.
TOM: Oh, you haven't actually decided yet -- you're going to do it right here, live, on National Public Radio? You're going to a take out the two or three that are in contention, so to speak, and you're going to just decide right now? And what are we supposed to do in the meantime? We're supposed to just sit here and stick our fingers in our ears?
RAY: Yeah, like you usually do. Well, I tried a couple on the staff and they didn't get any of them, so I'm going to try this one, which I didn't try on them, because I like this one the best. This is a non-automotive puzzler. This was sent from someplace on Alpha Centauri by Dave Etnoyer. Here it is.
A farmer had a 40-pound stone which he could use to weigh 40 pounds of feed; he would sell feed in 40 pounds, or bales of hay, or whatever. He had a balance scale; he put the stone on one side and pile the other side with feed or hay, and when it balanced, that's it.
TOM: Hmm, another one of these.
RAY: Well this is interesting.
TOM: I like it already.
RAY: Don't start with the liking it! I don't want to hear you like it -- I'm sick of that.
TOM: I don't want to build up your hopes, but I do like it so far. The fact that it's a stone, and it weighs exactly 40 pounds; I find that interesting.
RAY: Well, they chip off pieces!
TOM: -- make the stone. You go into Brookstone and say, "I want a 40-pound stone."
RAY: Who else do you buy it from? Brook-STONE, right.
TOM: Do you deliver?
RAY: You go into the brook, you pick out a stone --
TOM: I just want to tick off the UPS guy when they have to deliver it --
RAY: Can I continue?
TOM: I'm sorry, did I interrupt?
RAY: Then you screw up the puzzler -- you interfere with the very nature of it, and you have the audacity the next week --
TOM: No, this is serious. The puzzler is the only serious part of the show. OK.
RAY: OK. A neighbor borrows the stone, but he had to apologize when he returned it, broken into four pieces. The farmer who owned the stone later told the neighbor that he actually had done him a favor. The pieces of the broken stone could now be used to weigh any item, assuming those items were in one-pound increments, from one pound to 40.
TOM: Or 41? How about that! Now that would be a puzzler.
RAY: Yeah, that would be good. What were the weights of the four individual stones? So if you want to weigh one pound, six pounds, 11 pounds, 22 pounds, 39 pounds -- how would you use the stones, the thing you are weighing, and the balance beam?
TOM: Oh...
RAY: Remember that. And here's the hint: how would you weigh two pounds? That's the question. I could give a further hint --
TOM: No, don't. That is great!RAY: Yeah, till next week. Next week it'll be in the dog house.
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

Too much surfing in paper
Can the Sentinel publish one paper this year without an article/photo about surfing?
Ya know, there is a large majority of Sentinel readers that could care less about surfing and I'm not so sure that surfers are taking the time to read the paper; aren't they surfing?
Just one day, please.

Federal workers getting a pay increase?
As the nation plunges further into debt every day, President Barack Obama has signed an executive order ending the pay freeze on federal employees, giving workers, ranging from Vice President Joe Biden to members of Congress and the Supreme Court, a raise.
There is something wrong with Obama. Seriously. Every one of these "public service" employees should turn down this increase. It's obscene, especially given the economy and what a lousy job they are doing of managing the country's finances.
Kathryn Hermansen, Aptos
Wish for peace, tolerance seems far off
The Sentinel's Opinion page is a study in dichotomy.
Paul Krugman asserts that, "If income inequality continues to soar, we're looking at a dystopian, class-warfare future," a fear exacerbated by Dan Walter's observation that "California's recovery is uneven from geographic and demographic viewpoints." While the Bay Area is doing well, he quotes Bill Watkins saying inland California "is suffering from what amounts to a depression" which mirrors your editorial noting 8.7 percent unemployment in our county but 22 percent unemployment in Watsonville.
Your wish for a few million dollars from the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, our "residents (who) appear to be finally fed up with (transient) camps and crime" and your wish for "creative substantive solutions for the county's homelessness issues..." makes me wonder where a 2013 "filed with peace, kindness and tolerance for all" will come from.
Charles Huddleston, Soquel
Keep positive stories on front page
I have been a subscriber of the Sentinel for almost 30 years and I have sadly noticed that the majority of articles are now about violence in ours and other's cultures. I strongly believe it would help temper the violence by including (on the front page) a daily article of kindness and compassion. Help people be inspired with different stories on how to make a positive difference. That is the most important story you could possibly publish!
Mary Eriksen, Santa Cruz
Businesses paying for arena parking
The city of Santa Cruz now charges a fee to park downtown after 5 p.m. in what were previously free parking lots.
The fee has put a burden on small business owners whose clientele utilizes these lots during that time frame. This does not sound like good business to me.
It is obvious that the city is trying to generate revenue by inviting the basketball team to our town, but at what cost to the businesses that seemingly got the middle finger on this?
Cindy Coccoli, Santa Cruz
Mental health services changes crucial
Any approaches to fighting public shootings that do not include mental health will fail. Mental health care in the United States has a "D" rating compared to other developed countries. This has been kept out of the national discussion. Why are our prisons packed with small-time marijuana sellers while schizophrenics with weapons in their pockets sit unsupervised on every street? There is no force in America that would lock them up or monitor them. In the case of Connecticut, monitoring and simple therapy could have helped Adam Lanza. That should be obvious once you look at his history that he was alienated, had problems, lived with his mom ... etc. Currently in the U.S. you cannot afford therapy unless you have money to pay out of pocket. This means the average person who is having trouble will not get the counseling they need.

MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Apr 18, 2013) - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing average fixed mortgage rates moving lower this week amid data showing weaker consumer spending. This marks the third consecutive week fixed-rate mortgages have moved lower as the housing market continues to recover.
News Facts
Average commitment rates should be reported along with average fees and points to reflect the total upfront cost of obtaining the mortgage. Visit the following links for the Regional and National Mortgage Rate Details and Definitions. Borrowers may still pay closing costs which are not included in the survey.
Attributed to Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist, Freddie Mac.
"Mortgage rates nudged lower this week as consumer spending showed signs of weakness. Retail sales contracted for the second time in three months, falling 0.4 percent in March. In addition, the University of Michigan reported their Consumer Sentiment Index dropped 6.3 points in April to settle at 72.3, its lowest level since July. The April reading snapped a streak of three consecutive gains."
Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation's residential mortgage markets. Freddie Mac supports communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to lenders. Today Freddie Mac is making home possible for one in four home borrowers and is one of the largest sources of financing for multifamily housing.

Style # 226650
AVAILABILITY: Unavailable for immediate shipment.
Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by JLaney Love it! I have a petite but very fit body. I am a 34C with a 25 waist. Normally I have to get an xsmall in tops from bebe but this time I had to order a size small. With the xsmall, the wire built into this crop top pushed into my breast tissue making them look deformed. I also think I was exposing too much cleavage with the xsmall because I had to keep repositioning my breasts to keep the wire where it needed to be. I did not like that. With the size small, the wire falls where it is supposed to be and I felt like the small fit for classy, sexy. I am covered up much better with a minimal cleavage visible. This top is more gorgeous in person and my boyfriend LOVES it ;) I recommend ordering a size up BUT it you have larger breasts, you may have to play around with more sizes. March 29, 2014

IM happy and accepting of mist elements and developments regarding the handling of obito's transformation.
What is truly disappointing and just about anybody here can agree, is that this character treatment JUST HAD to be done TO THE ONLY PURELY DECENT AND INNOCENT UCHIHA! Shisui wasn't much of a fixture in the manga but kakashi gaiden and also 599-600 flashbacks gave us something rare and nearly impossible to find, a good uchiha that gives the impression there was hope for a clan clouded by inner conflict, blood spilling, and power grabbing all for the sake of Ms/ems (itachi's history lesson).
Idk, i used to hate tobitio theory then sided with it the more clues i saw. It works out ok for me but it could have also worked out better if it was someone who could at least be spared the taint of corruption in the style this manga uses. It was a total boon for the uchiha, to have a young hero like naruto, oblivious to evil past. Kishi is not in such shirt supply of cleverness that he couldn't have used someone else but oh well, the uchiha Myst lack as much depth and variety as possible in order to achieve the most from such broad and simple strokes of coloring them as "villains".
While obito can be justified transforming into tobi for several solid reasons it doesn't change the fact that it erodes the dimension and worth of the uchiha clan as central story element. If obito were untouched and left with that particular good memory intact and tobi were someone else then the uchiha and the manga would retain a more valuable angle and not need to weaken its validity. Its not about the obvious hints, whether you see the reason incorrectly as simply rin or understand that it was a larger world. Those reasons work and would be great for anybody, just not for a character that was a rare exception and gave the manga a simple and pure example of a good force. The manga has lost, not gained from this treatment of obito.
Paulbee expressed the sentiment beautifully already, i completely agree with it.

From The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night by Elizabeth Pantley
The environment that your baby enjoyed for nine long months in the womb was not one of absolute quiet. There was a constant symphony of sound -- your heartbeat and fluids rushing in and out of the placenta. (Remember those sounds from when you listened to your baby's heartbeat with the Doppler stethoscope?) Research indicates that "white noise" sounds or soft bedtime music helps many babies to relax and fall asleep more easily. This is most certainly because these sounds create an environment more familiar to your baby than a very quiet room.
Many people enjoy using soothing music as their baby's sleep sound. If you do, choose bedtime music carefully. Some music (including jazz and much classical music) is too complex and stimulating. For music to be soothing to your baby, pick simple, repetitive, predictable music, like traditional lullabies. Tapes created especially for putting babies to sleep are great choices. Pick something that you will enjoy listening to night after night, too. (Using a tape player with an automatic repeat function is helpful for keeping the music going as long as you need it to play.)
There are widely available, and very lovely, "nature sounds" tapes that work nicely, too, as well those small sound-generating or white-noise devices and clocks you may have seen in stores. The sounds on these - raindrops, a bubbling brook or running water - often are similar to those sounds your baby heard in utero. A ticking clock or a bubbling fish tank also make wonderful white-noise options.
"I went out today and bought a small aquarium and the humming noise does seem to relax Chloe and help her to sleep. I didn't buy any fish though. Who has time to take care of fish when you're half asleep all day?" Tanya, mother of 13-month-old Chloe
You can find some suitable tapes and CDs made especially for babies or those made for adults to listen to when they want to relax. Whatever you choose, listen to it first and ask yourself: Does this relax me? Would it make me feel sleepy if I listened to it in bed?
If you must put your baby to sleep in a noisy, active house full of people, keeping the tape running (auto rewind) will help mask baby-waking noises like dishes clanking, people talking, siblings giggling, TV, dogs barking, etc. This can also help transition your sleeping baby from a noisy daytime house to which he's become accustomed subconsciously to one of absolute nighttime quiet.
Once your baby is familiar with his calming noise, or music, you can use these to help your baby fall back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night. Simply sooth him by playing the music (very quietly) during the calming and falling-asleep time. If he wakes and cries, repeat this process.

Critical Habitat - What is it?
When a species is proposed for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (Act), we must consider whether there are areas of habitat we believe are essential to the species' conservation. Those areas may be proposed for designation as "critical habitat." The determination and designation of critical habitat is one of the most controversial and confusing aspects of the Act. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about critical habitat.
What is critical habitat?
Critical habitat is a term defined and used in the Act. It is a specific geographic area(s) that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species and that may require special management and protection. Critical habitat may include an area that is not currently occupied by the species but that will be needed for its recovery. An area is designated as "critical habitat" after we publish a proposed Federal regulation in the Federal Register and then we receive and consider public comments on the proposal. The final boundaries of the critical habitat area are also published in the Federal Register.
What is the purpose of designating critical habitat?
Federal agencies are required to consult with us on actions they carry out, fund, or authorize to ensure that their actions will not destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. In this way, a critical habitat designation protects areas that are necessary for the conservation of the species.
A critical habitat designation generally has no effect on situations that do not involve a Federal agency—for example, a private landowner undertaking a project that involves no Federal funding or permit.
Do listed species in critical habitat areas receive more protection?
An area designated as critical habitat is not a refuge or sanctuary for the species. Listed species and their habitat are protected by the Act whether or not they are in an area designated as critical habitat. To understand the additional protection that critical habitat provides to an area, it is first necessary to understand the protection afforded to any endangered or threatened species, even if critical habitat is not designated for it.
In consultation for those species with critical habitat, Federal agencies are required to ensure that their activities do not adversely modify critical habitat to the point that it will no longer aid in the species' recovery. In many cases, this level of protection is similar to that already provided to species by the "jeopardy standard." However, areas that are currently unoccupied by the species, but which are needed for the species' recovery, are protected by the prohibition against adverse modification of critical habitat.
Must Federal agencies consult with us outside critical habitat areas?
Yes, even when there is no critical habitat designation, Federal agencies must consult with us to ensure any action they carry out, fund, or authorize is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species.
What is the impact of a critical habitat designation on economic development?
Most activities that require a Federal agency to consult with us can proceed. If modification of the project is necessary, it is likely that those changes would have been needed anyway, in order to avoid jeopardy. However, in areas where the species is not currently present, there may be some project modifications that would not have occurred without the critical habitat designation.
How do we determine what areas to designate as critical habitat?
Biologists consider physical and biological features needed for life processes and successful reproduction of the species. These include:
The areas shown on critical habitat maps are often large. Are all the areas within the mapped boundaries considered critical habitat?
No. Our rules normally exclude by text developed areas such as buildings, roads, airports, parking lots, piers, and other such facilities. Additionally, projects will only require consultation if they affect areas that contain the primary constituent elements required by the species. Primary constituent elements are those physical and biological features of a landscape that a species needs to survive and reproduce.
Why are large areas shown on critical habitat maps if the entire area is not actually considered critical habitat?
In such cases, precisely mapping critical habitat boundaries is impractical or impossible, because the required descriptions for these precise boundaries would be too unwieldy.
Does the Act require an economic analysis as part of designating critical habitat?
Yes. We must take into consideration the potential economic impact, as well as any other benefits or impacts, of specifying any particular area as critical habitat. We may exclude any area from critical habitat if we determine that the benefits of excluding it outweigh the benefits of specifying the area as part of critical habitat, unless we determine that the failure to designate the area as critical habitat will result in the extinction of the species.
Does an economic analysis have any effect on the decision to list a species as threatened or endangered?
No, under the Act, a decision to list a species is made solely on the basis of scientific data and analysis.
How many species have critical habitat designations?
As of May 5, 2009, critical habitat has been designated for 523 of the 1,317 U.S. species listed as threatened or endangered.
Why haven't we designated critical habitat for more species?
After a Congressional moratorium on listing new species ended in 1996, we faced a huge backlog of species needing to be proposed for listing as threatened or endangered. For this reason, we have assigned a relatively low priority to designating critical habitat because we believe that a more effective use of our limited staff and funding has been to place imperiled species on the List of Endangered and Threatened Species.
Additionally, the critical habitat designation usually affords little extra protection to most species, and in some cases it can result in harm to the species. This harm may be due to negative public sentiment to the designation, to inaccuracies in the initial area designated, and to the fact that there is often a misconception among other Federal agencies that if an area is outside of the designated critical habitat area, then it is of no value to the species.

The Easton Stealth RS hockey stick is the premier hockey stick from Easton Hockey. The Stealth RS stick has taken the overall design of the S19 and S17 stick and perfected it to offer an even better shot release with a lighter feel. Easton has used a slightly different materials to slightly decrease the sticks overall weight, without sacrificing durability. The guys at Easton have also fine tuned the flex profile to offer more pop and a smoother more consistent feel.
The Easton RS stick features a Kevlar® wrapped Compression Molded shaft to offer power and a great feel. This particular construction uses thinner layers of material to allow for additional layers. The result is in an unbelievably responsive feel that maintains the lively feel throughout the lifespan of the stick. The Kevlar® wrap increases durability and helps lengthen the lifespan of the stick, along with an extremely solid feel with less vibrations.
The RS hockey sticks feature slightly different shaft dimensions than the S19 sticks. Easton has decided to use a pro inspired shaft dimensions that majority of their NHL pro players uses. The shaft dimensions have straight sidewalls, rounded corners, and very slightly narrower feel.
Easton's RS hockey stick features the same TORX™ technology seen on the S19 and S17 hockey sticks. TORX™ is the distinguishing elliptical shaft shape in the lower portion of the hockey stick. This increases the torsional strength and rigidity to the blade, resulting in lightning quick and accurate releases. Easton has fine tuned the elliptical profile / flex profile on the RS stick to offer a shot release that has more pop and a smoother more consistent feel. Excellent for wrist / snap shots but still packs a punch on one timers in the slot.
The RS stick features a multi-core blade design. The upper core is constructed out of honeycomb type material for excellent dampening. The lower portion of the blade features a more solid foam. This design improves the feel and helps keep the blade in contact with the puck longer, for better puck control and shot accuracy.

Wish They Were A Shade Darker
"These fit true to size and they're quite comfortable. However, DSW only had them in a half size smaller than I usually wear, so they ended up fitting me a little too tightly. It was worth a shot as I know that many shoes can run big. Also, I just wished that the color was a little darker so that there was more contrast with my skin tone."

Suspensions examined
Officials seek to address 'habitual offenders'
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 11/19/12
The number of students who received out-of-school suspensions in Henrico public schools has dropped significantly across all races during the past four years, but black students still receive a disproportionate number of suspensions, according to data compiled by the school system.
Black students represent 37 percent of the system's population but accounted for 76 percent of all out-of-school suspensions last year, the data showed. School officials pointed to 1,068 "habitual offenders" – 875 of whom are black – as the most problematic students in the system, because each one received at least three such suspensions last year, collectively accounting for more than half the suspensions issued system-wide.
The school system has come under fire in recent months from some community members and elected officials, who questioned the disproportionate number of suspensions among black students first brought to light this summer in a UCLA report that examined schools nationwide.
The new data – at times an overwhelming assortment of numbers and percentages that broke down suspensions by race, income level, disabilities and a a multitude of ways – was met with mixed reaction from two black elected officials after a two-hour presentation to the Henrico School Board Nov. 8.
"I don't know if I feel better or confused," said Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson, who last month penned a letter with Henrico state Senator Donald McEachin to Henrico Superintendent Pat Russo to inquire about the disproportionate suspension rates. "If the issue is in the eyes of the school system that African American kids get into more trouble than non-African American kids, then say that. That's pretty much what I'm getting from the data. That's unfortunate, but I'm not seeing any specifics saying how we're going to deal with it."
The school system's data showed that nine schools in the county's northern and eastern regions – Harvie, Fair Oaks and Highland Springs elementaries; Elko, Fairfield and Wilder middles; and Hermitage, Highland Springs and Varina highs – were responsible for about a quarter of all out-of-school suspensions in the county last year. Of
those, Highland Springs High School had the most students who received three or more such suspensions (121), while Wilder (100) was next.
'We really need a surge'
Fairfield District School Board member Lamont Bagby, a former teacher and administrator at Fairfield Middle and Henrico High, also was disappointed that officials did not present a specific action plan to address those trouble spots.
"We've been able to key in on the population that is repeatedly being suspended," Bagby told the Citizen. "We really need a surge [of support] in the area. Since we have identified those young people, it would be in our best interest to see how we can support them."
Assistant Superintendent for Exceptional Education and Research & Planning Bondy Shay Gibson and Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education and Organizational Development Chris Corallo told Bagby that the school system's strategic plan already contains goals and points of action to address the issue, and seven principals who spoke at the board's meeting last week outlined a variety of measures they currently employ to reduce suspensions.
But, like Bagby, Nelson believes more must be done.
"I guess it's good to know that 50 percent of the suspensions come from 2.21 percent of the kids," Nelson said, "but on the other hand, you've still got to ask yourself the question: What are we doing for that specific population? What are we going to do for those kids that we know have some challenges? What do we do? How do we engage the community, engage the young people? The question still is not answered."
During last week's meeting Russo said that he was proud of the efforts the school system has made.
"We've got a ways to go, and we're going to be vigilant" in continuing to place resources where they are most needed, he said.
Following the UCLA report, there had been frustration among some community members who believed black students in Henrico were being punished more severely than students of other races for the same offenses. But the school system's data seemed to contradict that claim.
About 53 percent of black students who were suspended received one- or two-day suspensions for their first offenses of the year, compared with about 57 percent of whites and 59 percent of other races. The top four offenses for which students earned their first suspensions last year also were the same among all three groups, with "altercation or confrontation with no injury" and "defiance" the top two across the board.
Varina District School Board member John Montgomery expressed satisfaction with those results.
"I'm extremely pleased that the anecdote is supported 100 percent by the data," he said. "We've got great work to do, but that's a great starting place."
The data drew a correlation between the economic status of students and their rates of suspension, finding that nearly a quarter of all economically disadvantaged black students received out-of-school suspensions at least once in 2011-12, while 15 percent of economically disadvantaged white students did. It also found that black students with disabilities were much more likely to be suspended at least once when compared with other students. More than 20 percent of all out-of-school suspensions were given to black students with disabilities, while only 6.3 percent involved white students with disabilities, and less than one percent involved disabled students of other ethnicities.
Overall, the number of students receiving out-of-school suspensions dropped from 5,873 in the 2008-09 school year to 4,680 last year, and the total number of suspensions fell from 12,180 to 9,165 during that same period.
Efforts underway
Seven Henrico principals – all from schools with high out-of-school suspension totals – told the board about a variety of efforts they've implemented to help reduce suspensions and improve student behavior. Among them:
• the BOSS (Before Out of School Suspension) program at Elko Middle School, which requires participating students to wear uniforms, complete individualized lesson specific to the offenses they committed and engage in discussions with a teacher and other BOSS participants about those offenses and the lessons they've learned;
• mentoring programs at Brookland Middle School that pair students who need extra guidance with teachers or community or faith-based volunteers for twice-weekly sessions;
• a monthly breakfast at Harvie Elementary School – which serves a higher than average transient population – during which students who are new to the school build rapport with each other and with staff members;
• the division of administrative aide funding at several high schools, so that instead of four full-time aides, those schools have 17 to 19 part-time aides to assist with day-to-day issues that otherwise would be more challenging.
Because many of the students at the elementary school level who have behavioral issues and receive suspensions are performing below their grade levels academically, Corallo suggested that the school system do more to reach them early.
"We need to put more dollars in intervention in our pre-K through two," he said. "We don't want to send kids to third grade with any holes in their foundational skills."
Ten Henrico schools are piloting new "family advocate" positions at their schools through Title I funding. The family advocates at each school work with families to engage them in their students' lives and to ensure that communication from the schools reaches families.
Nelson made no apologies for helping to bring the issue to the attention of the board and community.
"My job was to ask questions, which is what I did," he said. "I'm not trying to knock anything that the school system is trying to do. I just want to make sure all our kids are being treated fairly."
Nelson is frustrated that he and McEachin have not received a formal written reply from Russo – "pretty much in essence we've gotten the blow-off," he said – but said that County Manager Virgil Hazelett was working to coordinate a meeting between supervisors, Russo and school officials.
Bagby believes the attention the matter has received is already having an impact.
"This conversation puts staff on notice that this is of concern – not only to elected officials and Central Office staff, but to the community as a whole," he said. "As I visit schools lately, principals and teachers have mentioned that this entire conversation has made them think twice about how they discipline."

Jackson Lee/ Splash News, AKM-GSI
(Lainey: Here are some new photos of Rose Byrne and Chloe Grace Moretz which is great because we haven't, until now, been able to post Sarah's review of Neighbors 2.) I have been very hard Full Story
Dear Gossips,
As Sarah wrote last week in her post about the new Ghostbusters trailer, the first trailer set a record for being the most disliked of all time, or something, because men don't think Ghostbusters should be women. Read Full Intro

"Your girl Rose Byrne is a mess." That's the text I received from Lainey earlier tonight, during the early stages of the MET Gala red carpet. I was incredulous. How could one of my favourites, whose sartorial choices are almost as flawless as her resume -- and my pick for best dressed from last year's MET Gala Full Story
Girls Night with Amy Schumer
Take a look at Amy Schumer's crew. From left to right, it's her stylist Leesa Evans, Rose Byrne (who hasn't yet confirmed that she's pregnant but let's be real), Lena Dunham and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. This same photo was posted on Instagram three times in succession early this morning, starting with Amy, then the JLD, and Lena. Full Story

Sexiest couple on the Met Gala red carpet last night. Yes, I know the Clooneys attended, as did Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet (!) but no pair out-smouldered Rose and Bobby, both in bordeaux Calvin Klein. The pick might be basic, but you can't deny their physical chemistry. It's intoxicating. Full Story

Wenn, Bruce Glikas/ Getty Images
If it weren't for the leading trio of Nick Kroll, Rose Byrne, and Bobby Cannavale, Adult Beginners would be a failed pilot at a broadcast network. There's nothing new or even particularly engaging about it, but those three manage to make it watchable. The story revolves around Jake (Kroll), who returns home with his tail tucked between his legs after a tech venture crashes and burns, obliterating his and everyone he knows' money. Full Story
Smutty Social Media, Tuesday April 7, 2015
Sarah Jessica Parker being teased by the Editor-in-chief of Glamour magazine and an off-camera Kerry Washington for using a BlackBerry. I got rid of my BlackBerry just last week out of sheer laziness and the need to have more apps. But I will say it now and forever: using email on BlackBerry was the best. Full Story
Best SAG JUMPSUIT.
JOE KLAMAR/Frazer Harrison/Getty
You guys. I mean, really. I am not a fan of pale garments. Or neutral garments. My colouring means they look terrible on me, and so I have been conditioned to never desire them and to appreciate only full saturation and degrees therein. I usually glaze over. But this was gorgeous. Sparkly yet sophisticated, with those shoulders and that belt – it almost made me ignore that haircut, which I cannot say I loved: a too-perfect bob made me nervous. Full Story
Bridesmaids & Angels
There was some serious strutting happening the other day on the set of Charlie's Angels in Miami as Minka Kelly, Annie Ilonzeh, and Rachael Taylor, all dressed in white, stomped around in heels for a scene that obviously involves a lot of smiling, hair blowing, and gorgessity. A classic Angels moment. Full Story

They've released a photo for the upcoming X-Men: First Class. Take a look. It's AWFUL. It's so much bad. There's no imagination. And James McAvoy looks not great at all. Oh but there's drama… The photo first leaked on Tuesday and almost everyone start sh-tting on it. Full Story

France kick off their three-match tour of New Zealand at a sold-out Eden Park on Saturday for a rematch of the World Cup Final.
France kick off their first three-match tour of New Zealand since 1968 on Saturday in Auckland, where the hosts are aiming to stretch their unbeaten streak at Eden Park, which is sold-out, to 30 games.
Of course, not many fans are concerned with what happened in 1968 (for the record, the All Blacks won the series 3-0) as most will see this clash as rematch of the controversial 2011 World Cup Final.
While there are obviously a handful of survivors in the French side who will want to exact revenge for a result that many felt should have gone the way of les Bleus, both sides' focus will be firmly on the future.
Indeed, France arrive with young squad that shows significant changes across the park. There are just two players in the French starting XV that featured in the RWC Final (Maxime Médard and Thierry Dusautoir) and just six in the entire matchday 23.
So far the rebuilding process has been largely unsuccessful for coach Philippe Saint-André, who has stepped up the influx of new faces since suffering the ignominy of leading France in their worst Six Nations campaign of the professional era. The good news for French fans is that those new faces are very exciting, though they have yet to be tested on the biggest stage.
Understandably there are a lot of familiar names in the hosts' side. Steve Hansen has been blessed with a relatively smooth transition and even if Israel Dagg and Ma'a Nonu are under pressure to retain their spots, at no stage have there ever been notions of totally revamping the side that dominated the Rugby Championship.
That said, like almost every national team in the Test arena, the All Blacks are starting a new cycle and this series should give us an insight into the direction the reigning world champions are taking as they play their first game since losing to England at Twickenham.
With Dan Carter and Richie McCaw absent and Keven Mealamu on the bench, only two starting All Blacks have in excess of 50 Test caps – Nonu will win his 77th cap while Conrad Smith claim his 67th.
The likes of Aaron Cruden, Sam Cane, Dane Coles and Brodie Retallick are ushering in a new generation and the next three Tests will go a long way to determining how much longer it is necessary for the old guard to hang around.
New Zealand have named a line-up with an average age of 26, a year less than the French average, although the hosts have a slightly more experience as they field a team with 376 caps, compared to the visitors' 352.
France are lucky to be able to field that many experienced players. Had it not been for Toulouse and Clermont being knocked out of the Top 14 in the semi-finals, PSA would have struggled to assemble a team anywhere near full-strength.
There are a number of ways of seeing this game. Billing it as a rematch of the past World Cup Final would suggest an evenly-contested affair; A clash between the world's top-ranked team and the Six Nations wooden spooners points towards a hiding; A side missing their two most iconic players facing their bogey team would have us throwing the form booking out the window.
All these perspectives reveal part of the tale but the none paints the whole picture. What we will see is a clash between two teams in the midst of evolution: one that is still trying to find its feet, against one that never really stopped running.
Players to watch:
For New Zealand: 24-year-old fly-half Aaron Cruden has a chance to take another step out of the shadow of you-know-who. New Zealanders were once frightened to death at the prospect of losing the world's best pivot but in Cruden they now have a playmaker who not only instils confidence but also inspires. With 20 caps under his belt, Cruden is slowly starting to shake off the tag of 'back-up' and is starting to push for recognition as New Zealand's number one 10. That may not happen this weekend, or even this month, but time is on Cruden's side. If he wants to speed up the process, this weekend is the perfect time to start.
For France: Talk about being thrown into the deep end. The last time France were at Eden Park a young scrum-half made his debut in the dying minutes of the World Cup Final (Jean-Marc Doussain is on the bench again). This time it's fly-half Camille Lopez who makes his international bow at fly-half. Like his opposite number, the 24-year-old has all the key attributes to make a great pivot: a deadly-accurate, powerful left boot and an exception ability to read the game. At 98kg, he can punch a hole in a defensive wall too. But does he have the nerves for the big time? We'll find out soon enough.
Head-to-head: All Blacks flank Sam Cane is in a similar position to Cruden and will want to show Steve Hansen that he too is a worthy successor to the number seven jersey. He couldn't ask for a better test of his credentials as he faces Thierry Dusautoir, who is not only one the world's top flanks but often produces his best against New Zealand. Also keep an eye on the tussle at inside centre between the best twelve in Europe, Wesley Fofana, and Ma'a Nonu, who has had a Super Rugby season to forget but somehow always comes good in a black jersey.
Previous results:
2011: New Zealand won 8-7 in Auckland
2011: New Zealand won 37-17 in Auckland
2009: New Zealand won 39-12 in Marseille
2009: New Zealand won 14-10 in Wellington
2009: France won 27-22 in Dunedin
2007: France won 20-18 in Cardiff
2007: New Zealand won 61-10 in Wellington
2007: New Zealand won 42-11 in Auckland
2006: New Zealand won 23-11 in Paris
2006: New Zealand won 47-3 in Lyon
2004: New Zealand won 45-6 in Paris
2003: New Zealand won 40-13 in Sydney
2003: New Zealand won 31-23 in Christchurch
2002: France and New Zealand drew 20-20 in Paris
Prediction: The All Blacks have played France 51 times since 1906, winning 38 times to France's 12, plus one draw. The last time the All Blacks lost at Eden Park was against the French in July 1994. Englishman Wayne Barnes is the ref, the second time he has taken control of a game between the two nations, the first being the 2007 World Cup quarter-final in Cardiff. We know what happened then. But we won't pay much heed to that result and will back the men in black to claim their fifth straight win against les Bleus. New Zealand by 14 points
The teams:
New Zealand: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Sam Cane, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Wyatt Crockett.
Replacements: 16 Keven Mealamu, 17 Ben Franks, 18 Ben Afeaki, 19 Jeremy Thrush, 20 Victor Vito, 21 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 22
