Kardashians to Lamar Odom, Bruce Jenner: Come To Our House on Thanksgiving!
Kardashians to Bruce & Lamar Come to Our House for Turkey!
Kris Jenner has no hard feelings over her break up with Bruce Jenner or the disaster that has become the marriage of Lamar Odom and Khloe ... TMZ has learned both men are invited to Thanksgiving.
Our Kardashian/Jenner sources say ... Bruce has already accepted. We're told Bruce is surprised anyone would even question whether he's going. He's telling friends, "Of course I'm going. It's my family."
The jury's out on Lamar -- he hasn't said yay or nay.
As for why the doors are wide open ... the Kardashians say Bruce and Lamar are family and "always will be."
By the way ... guess who won't be there -- Kim, Kanye and North West. He's in Miami on tour, and they're along for the ride.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

- 1 (1-pound) New York strip steak
- 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for steak and pasta water
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for steak
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 cups chopped arugula
Season the steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper, herbs de Provence, and minced garlic. In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Cook steak about 7 minutes per side. Remove the meat from pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak. Set aside.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, fresh herbs, and 3/4 cup olive oil. In a large bowl toss the pasta with half of the salad dressing and the reserved pasta water. Add the arugula and steak, more dressing, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed. Toss, pack for the picnic, or serve.

As promised in our follow-up post to Homeless Hotspots, we wanted to keep everyone updated on how those learnings- and open conversations- are being applied to try to help fight homelessness at scale.
We're quite proud to say we're in active dialogue with both the North American Street Newspaper Association (NASNA) and the International Network of Street Papers (INSP) working out how to help their members (150 or so papers across the globe) address some key issues they face in a modern media landscape. We've begun by working on a key pilot program: StreetWise in Chicago. We came to meet Jim LoBianco, who runs the paper (and broader organization), after he wrote this post during Homeless Hotspots. Upon speaking with Jim, it was clear he has a track record of innovation fighting homelessness, and that the organization is dealing with a number of issues familiar to papers around the world, including:
- Digitizing payments options for street vendors working in an environment in which fewer people are carrying change
- Offering digital services to accompany a print offering under pressure
- Ensuring vendors have a clear set of tools to earn income and offer something of commercial value
- Do all of the above without eroding vendors' ability to engage with mainstream society (this is good for both parties, and is the key issue that blossomed into Homeless Hotspots originally)
If we can collectively address these issues for the largest North American street paper, we're optimistic we can help other interested street papers evolve with the changing media and mobile landscape.
We'll continue to keep everyone posted on progress. We appreciate the exceptional level of support you've shown for the participants and the shelter throughout this process. In fact, it may be worth heading over to the Front Steps Facebook page to say congrats to Hotspot Manager Jonathan who raised enough money from Homeless Hotspots to put him over the edge and move out of the shelter and into housing!
If you're interested in helping us with any of these efforts, please reach out.

Related to Cashiers check: money order
Cashier's check
Certified Check
A check whose payment is guaranteed by a bank. In exchange for a fee, a bank issues a certified check to a person, who is very often both the payer and the payee. That is, a person gives the bank the amount for which the certified check is written, either in cash or by deducting the appropriate amount from the payer's account; the bank then makes the check payable to that person. The person may cash the check at any bank, or deposit it at a different bank without being subject to a check hold. A certified check is also known as a registered check or banker's draft. See also: Traveler's cheque, Commercial draft.
cashier's check
A check drawn by a bank on itself. A cashier's check is made out to a designated institution or person and must be paid for before it is issued. See also certified check.
cashier's check
An official check issued by a bank with itself as the drawer. Contrast with a certified check, which is one drawn on the bank customer's account, with the customer as drawer, but certified as good by the bank. Closing companies usually require a cashier's check for the purchaser's portion of all closing costs and purchase money. A cashier's check can be the subject of a stop-payment order. Because of widespread forgery of cashier's checks, many closing companies will not complete closing until funds are actually collected and in the closing company's escrow account.

Our story begins here, with spring blossoms of trees, shrubs, plants large and small. An incredible amount of work turns nectar and pollen into the products of beehive. Beeswax is created and used as building material for combs of the hive, each comb holding some precious load - baby bees, or honey, or pollen, or members of large bee family. During honey harvest combs are removed from the hive, and crushed with honey dripping out of each cell.
Sticky, fragrant, honey rich wax is left behind - at time it is given back to the hive to feed on, or molded into beeswax bricks for sale. Most small scale, farmers' market type beekeepers either sell wax by itself or make additional income with selling candles or wax-based cosmetics. You can make either product at home and here is how you dip your own candles:
Wax Pot./ Candle Bucket:
Any tall and narrow pot works - too large a pot will require a lot of wax to be usable - to dip you need to have your pot nearly full of melted wax. I use a 5.5" diameter pot that is about 8-9" tall (something I found at a garage sale). An asparagus pot works well.
Hobby Lobby is the place to get your wick. Braided lead-free for 2-4" diameter roll of wick costs $15 for 75 yards (that is a lot of candles!). The secret here is to soak your wick for a good 5 minutes or more in hot wax before you start the actual process of making candles. Skip this step and the final product may not burn all that well.
Other supplies:
You will need a stick of some sort to hang your candles on to cool. A wider stick will keep candles from touching while cooling, I vote for wider stick.
You will need something similar to a cardboard box to rest your stick with all the candles hanging on it, while candles are cooling. Since it makes sense to dip many candles at once, your contraption will need to hold several sticks with several candles each.
The process:
1. Begin by warming your wax in double bath (never place wax directly on the stove). This will take a very long time. If you use heat of summer sun to prep the wax, beware of bees. They will find your storage of wax, and you can forget about your project for the day as multitudes will descend. If placed in the sun, cover the pot with glass lid to keep bees away.
Once you get the wax warm and liquified, there is no need to worry about dirt, dead bees or any other inclusions. They will all sink to the bottom of the pot and the rest of the wax will be lovely and clean.
2. Cover your stove and working surfaces with newspaper. Wax drippings are hard to clean. Save yourself time and effort by covering it all up!
3. Once wax is ready, cut wicks about double of the final length of the candle PLUS 2" (5 cm). Soak the wicks in hot wax by hanging them on a stick over the wax with ends soaking. See image below to understand what is about to happen - the wick will remain uncut during the process of dipping, you will be creating two candles at once.
4. Pull out soaked wicks and let them rest about one minute. You can gently adjust them as they are likely to be bent and uneven. They will be warm to touch and pliable.
Once you got your wicks somewhat straight, you can begin.
5. The main thing in dipping is not to be in the hurry. It makes sense to dip many candles at once - and give them about one minute of time to cool down between dips. You can use several dipping sticks with some number of candle pairs on each and do rounds that way. I find that cooking dinner and doing other house work while dipping is a good combo - gives you plenty of small pauses where needed.
Keep your wax pot on low heat. Keep dipping until satisfied. Trim bottoms of the candles, wax returned to the pot for later. Let them rest some, and get your table ready for a lovely meal with candle light! Voila - these candles are not even one hour long - illuminating a simple summer dinner meal, house smelling like warm honey.

It's really important to me to share what I love with others. I live to make art every day, even if it isn't always art in the conventional sense. This blog is a way I can share what I love and how I see things with you. Since I'm so passionate about Nike, it's seems fitting that I should give you a taste of that part of my life.
I've been a sneakerhead as long as I can remember. My soles have been leaving Nike imprints since childhood, my teen years, through my 20's, and are now leading me into my 30's. Honestly, I know Nike will always be a part of my life. I even got married in a pair a few years ago.
A lot of people have been asking me why I am writing this blog, all I can say is that I'm doing what I love- and I'm inviting you along for the ride. It's exhilarating and intoxicating to express myself through photography, drawing, painting, creating, and fashion. But seriously, enough about me…let's get to the shoes!

Capture Billy's passion and experience of working side-by-side with the Holy Spirit each week through a concise, sharable, written teaching.
Need help in making your desire for revival become visible? Our online store offers both teachings to train and tools to make the Word come alive.
The Holy Spirit told Billy, "The nation is waiting on you. The nations (plural) are waiting." To do this, we need you to come alongside of us financially to send us to our assignment.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of being filled with the Spirit.
In the early church, signs and wonders and miracles followed. They cast out demons, blindness and paralysis. That's normal Christianity! We're so sub-normal, if we ever became normal, they (the world) will think we're abnormal.
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
The Holy Spirit is more real to me than you are.

Where's Optimus Prime when you need him? With no help from robots in disguise, "Transformers" actor Josh Duhamel is using his star power to aid his hometown of Minot, N.D., which is recovering from massive flooding.
Duhamel was named honorary chairman of a fund set up for recovery efforts in Minot, according to The Associated Press. The Minot Area Community Foundation, which established the fund, will help residents of the town rebuild their lives.
The river that flooded more than 4,000 homes and hundreds of businesses on Friday has begun a slow retreat, MSNBC reported Sunday. But officials warned that the area would still be dangerous until the highest water passes.
Duhamel is in Moscow to promote his summer blockbuster, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." But his thoughts were with his hometown, where his sister and her family live, he told "Entertainment Tonight."
"I know that town inside and out," Duhamel said. "I grew up there and … my junior high, my favorite pizza place, the university I went to — it's all going to be under water. Not just a little bit — like under water, so it's major."
Duhamel, who is married to Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, took to his Twitter account to rally support for Minot, encouraging donations to the town's chapter of the American Red Cross and tweeting directly to top stars.
"Would love if you would please RT: Help my hometown #Minot #MinotFlooding," Duhamel tweeted at Selena Gomez, Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber and 50 Cent. As of Sunday night, none of the stars had replied or re-tweeted Duhamel's message.

NSF International today announced the development of a new protocol that addresses the health impact and environmental protection of septic tank and grease trap (solid and liquid) separating technology. Labrie Environmental Group is the first manufacturer to certify its pumping and liquid-solid separating system to the protocol.
NSF Protocol P340: Septic Tank or Grease Trap Solid and Liquid Separating Devices was developed for equipment that separate septic waste solids from liquids in septic tanks or grease and solids from liquids in grease traps. The protocol contains requirements to evaluate the materials, design, manufacturing, and performance of these types of equipment.
Typical servicing of septic tanks or grease traps involves transporting a large volume of water to a disposal facility. Technologies have been developed to separate the solids from the liquids in septic tanks and grease traps, and then return the "treated water." P340 now provides a means to test the effectiveness and efficacy of these devices.
Juggler is the first technology and equipment to meet the stringent requirements of NSF Protocol P340 and bear the NSF certification mark. Juggler is a pumping and liquid-solid separating system that services grease traps and septic tanks with no chemicals.
To meet the requirements of the NSF protocol, Labrie's Juggler demonstrated compliance with the following requirements:
• Must be designed to return treated water to the septic tank or grease trap being serviced to prevent cross contamination.
• Must provide mechanical filtration -- the rated pore size of the filter mechanism shall not be less than 50 microns, so that beneficial biological flora can pass through the filter for return to the septic tank or grease trap.
• Must be designed so that the treatment process cannot be modified or altered by an operator.
• Must operate without the use of added chemicals.
CAPTION: The Juggler from Labrie Environmental Group is the first septic tank and grease trap separating technology that meets the new NSF protocol.

Thirty-day wash rule(redirected from Thirty-Day Rule)
Thirty-day wash rule
Thirty-Day Wash Rule
An IRS regulation stating that one may not claim a capital loss for tax purposes if one repurchases the same position within 30 days. Suppose one sells a stock at a substantial loss but immediately buys back the same stock at the same price. Effectively, the locked in loss is "unlocked" and one can still make a profit on the investment in the long term. The 30 day wash rule exists to prevent investors from taking tax deductions on losses they do not actually incur. Some investors find a way around this by exercising a tax swap. The 30 day wash rule should not be confused with wash trading, which is a different concept altogether.

I never heard about Switch until reading about them on this forum. Their prices are unbeatable. And honestly, Naish, Cabrinha, North and other kite companies retail prices are almost insulting.
But I'd rather pay big dollars for quality. Than save some dough and get a piece of crap.
There aren't any reviews in the magazines(not that any of them provide any honest, constructive ones anyway).
I'm probably wasting my time asking. Since all I'm going to get is Switch team-riders saying they are the greatest. And all other brand affiliated kiters saying they are the worst. But is there anyone out there that has ridden them and can give an honest review on the performance of their kites and bars, customer service, part-replacement, quality, etc, etc, etc?! I'm particularly interested in the Element.

What is one thing, just one thing, you did that was pretty awful in Azeroth, that you wish you could get some kind of redemption or forgiveness for, or even just get off your chest?
This happened to me the other night, when I was doing arenas with Sev. There was one thing about the arena match that we won that I forgot to mention, and it did shock Sev when it happened, and he wondered why it was conspicuously absent from that post.

Chen Yu Becomes of Marriageable Age
Feng Yu Heng's actions gave the three a fright, especially Yu Qian Yin, who had been speaking about the crispy fried pigeon. She completely did not understand how she had managed to anger this county princess Ji An, so she looked at Xuan Tian Hua in confusion.
Xuan Tian Hua slightly raised his head and called out: "Younger sister."
Feng Yu Heng immediately managed to recover then felt a bit embarrassed.
What was she doing?
Xuan Tian Ming quickly pulled her back and leaned her against him before saying: "Be good. If there is anything, we will talk about it later."
This meal was no longer peaceful, and it was even a little depressing. After that, Yu Qian Yin was unable to continue eating. Putting down her chopsticks, she obediently sat in her chair.
Xuan Tian Ming stood up first and pulled Feng Yu Heng over, saying to Xuan Tian Hua: "Seventh brother, I will be sending Heng Heng back."
Xuan Tian Hua also stood up, saying: "Let's go together."
Like this, the four people split got into two imperial carriages then headed toward the county princess' manor.
Feng Yu Heng held on tightly to Xuan Tian Ming's arm and said: "Don't you feel like there is something strange about this?"
Xuan Tian Ming naturally understood what she meant by this, but in the end, this was old seventh's matter. If he did not want to speak about it, what could be accomplished by him worrying about it? Thus he patted the back of Feng Yu Heng's hand and comforted her: "Seventh brother is not someone with simple thoughts. Just trust him."
What else could she say? If they talked too much about this sort of thing, it would not be beneficial to any of the three. There were some things that they had a tacit understanding of without needing for it to be placed out in the open.
Not long later, they arrived at the county princess' manor. When she got out of the carriage, she saw a girl standing at the entrance of the manor. The imperial guard keeping watch said to the girl: "Third young miss, either go in and wait or go back to the Feng manor first! We don't know when county princess will be back. If you were to get burnt on this hot day, it would not be good."
The person was Xiang Rong, and she shook her head, saying: "I will wait here. Second sister should be back soon."
Just as she said this, the imperial guard looked over and happened to see the imperial carriage return, thus he quickly said: "Oh! She's back."
Xiang Rong happily turned around and saw Feng Yu Heng get out of the carriage. But when she saw Xuan Tian Ming following behind her, she became a little nervous.
She wanted to kneel to salute, but she was stopped by Feng Yu heng: "Don't, there is no need for such rules between us sisters."
Xuan Tian Ming gave quite a bit of face to the people that Feng Yu Heng liked and immediately nodded to Xiang Rong; however, this caused Xiang Rong to become a little bit panicked.
At this time, the people in the carriage in the back also got out. Xiang Rong subconsciously went to take a look and immediately saw the deity-like Xuan Tian Hua get out of the carriage. He even gave her a gentle smile.
She was caught off guard and never thought that she would suddenly see Xuan Tian Hua. For a while, she did not know what she should do.
But the smile that Xuan Tian Hua gave her did not last for long. Xiang Rong blankly watched him turn around and reach out, helping a young girl out of the carriage.
Her heart suddenly felt a tug and began to hurt. She did not want to see this scene, but she could not avert her eyes.
The girl looked very lively, and she was practically hugging Xuan Tian Hua's neck when she jumped out. She even used Xuan Tian Hua's sleeve to wipe away the sweat on her forehead.
Xiang Rong slightly furrowed her brow and found it a little hard to endure, but she found that Xuan Tian Hua did not appear to reject this. In fact, he even rolled up his sleeve and helped wipe the girl another two times. Everything happened so naturally, and it had a similar feeling to her second sister and the ninth prince. She had once seen her second sister use the ninth prince's sleeve to wipe her face, and she had once seen the ninth prince reveal a doting gaze.
Xiang Rong's heart began to race wildly, as she stood in place. No matter what, she was unable to avert her eyes until Yu Qian Yin also looked over. Only then did she realize that her mind had gone blank and turned her head away.
What could Feng Yu Heng say? She was already in a slightly poor mood, thus she pulled Xiang Rong into the county princess' manor and simply said to Xuan Tian Ming: "I will be going back first." She then waved to the back in a sort of farewell to Xuan Tian Hua.
Xiang Rong was unwilling to give up and looked back, happening to see Yu Qian Yin tug at Xuan Tian Hua's sleeve, saying: "Seventh brother, let's go horseback riding tomorrow, is that alright?" Her heart tugged once more, and the pain was unbearable.
Feng Yu heng pulled her into her own room then asked her: "Were you looking for me for some reason?"
Xiang Rong subconsciously nodded then immediately shook her head, muttering: "There's not much. It's just… just…"
"You just missed me." She deliberately helped relax the atmosphere then patted the back of Xiang Rong's hand, saying to her: "His Highness the ninth prince sent a chef from Refined Deity Building to the manor today. Just stay and eat dinner here today. In a while, I will have someone go call concubine mother An over as well."
Only then did Xiang Rong manage to recover. Seeing Feng Yu Heng still treat her intimately, she choked up, and the sorrow that she felt appeared in the form of tears.
Feng Yu Heng helplessly hugged the child and gently patted her back. She understood that after she left, An shi's pastries had indirectly harmed Yao shi, and the mother and daughter were both quite unhappy. The Feng family then acted even more harshly, sending this girl to the temple. In addition to today's Xuan Tian Hua… forget it. She was responsible for this matter from the beginning. If she had not arranged for Xuan Tian Hua and Xiang Rong to spend time together many times, this girl would not have become too involved, and she would not have had as much hope filling her heart. To put it bluntly, it was her fault.
"Xiang Rong, don't worry. Elder sister will give you an explanation." These words were to comfort Xiang Rong, but she did not know how she would explain it.
That night, An shi and Xiang Rong remained in Tong Sheng pavilion to eat dinner. Yao shi, naturally, also joined in. During the meal, An shi told Feng Yu Heng a piece of news: "For the grand celebration of her coming of age and her wedding, husband invited a facial embroiderer for eldest young miss. When this concubine came out, they had already arrived at the manor to take care of eldest young miss' face."
Xiang Rong picked up on this, saying: "It should be to fix up the missing flesh on her forehead that was bitten by a goshawk."
Feng Yu Heng was not too familiar with the ancient terms being used here. Facial embroidering, she figured, should be something similar to modern tattooing, right?
However, she did not think that Yao shi would say: "A facial embroiderer invited by the Feng family definitely will not be simple. Eldest young miss Feng is a national beauty. This time… perhaps they invited a bead embroiderer?"
Feng Yu Heng was nearly completely confused, "What is a bead embroiderer?"
Yao shi explained to her: "Facial embroidering comes in a few types. The most normal is color embroidering. This uses a special needle that injects a colored dye to create a beautiful picture. The middle tier is silk embroidering. This is the embroidering of silk or even brocade directly to the body. It is very beautiful. The highest tier is bead embroidering. This is the direct embroidering of expensive gems and pearls onto the body. It is both expensive and noble."
Feng Yu Heng grimaced upon hearing this. Beautiful? To embroider silk and beads onto the body directly, would it really not cause any harm?
Of course, she understood that there were always more amazing people. The craftsmanship of the ancient era had techniques that were lost to the modern era. When it came to medical knowledge and equipment, the modern era naturally had the edge, but when it came to craftsman's abilities, the modern machines could not compare to the handcrafted items of the past.
She would not express her feelings on anything that she had not personally seen. She just faintly smiled and began to feel even more expectant of that grand wedding.
Two days later, Feng Chen Yu reached a full 15 years of age and became of marriageable age.
In regards to the girls of the ancient era, becoming of marriageable age meant that this girl would be bidding farewell to their girlhood. They could do up their hair and become someone's wife. Normally speaking, the girl from a large family would have their marriage set before they became of age. After the ceremony for coming of age, the two families would begin discussing the wedding. Within a year at most, she would get married.
Chen Yu's marriage was also planned to be like this. Feng Jin Yuan and Duan Mu Qing had already discussed it. Five days after Feng Chen Yu became of age, she would be welcomed into the Xiang Palace.
Due to the tension, the Feng family took care of this intimately. What should have been a lively coming of age ceremony was held in a very low-key manner. The Feng family did not invite a single outsider, with the matriarch taking out a hairclip that she had worn when younger and personally took care of tying up her hair.
In the instant that her hair was tied up, a girl like Chen Yu was unable to stop herself from tearing up.
She felt wronged and was unreconciled. She knew from a young age that she had the most beautiful face in the capital. Her mother had told her that this face was enough to allow her to have anything that she wanted. In the beginning, she did not believe her. Afterward, her father had told her that she was raised along the same standard as the Empress. There would be a day when she would be entering the palace, and she would ascend the position of mother of all under heaven. When that time came, the entire Feng family and the entire world would look at her with respect. She would be the one to support the Feng family, and she would be the Feng family's only support.
She had always believed that she could smoothly get married to a prince that could ascend the throne. She had always believed that her becoming of age would be a glory for the entire capital, and she always believed that it would be very lively. All of the wealthy and noble madams and young misses in the capital would come to congratulate her and give her gifts. Because the Feng family was proud of her, all of her sisters would be standing around her with jealousy and envy in their eyes.
But this had all fallen through. Feng Yu Heng had returned to the manor, and everything changed. Even her coming of age ceremony was so shabby. The matriarch spoke auspicious words, but no matter how she looked at it, she was just going through the motions. That worthless hairclip was not even worth anything, yet she still had the audacity to place it on her head.
Feng Chen Yu had always believed that this was all caused by Feng Yu Heng. She had to wait until she married into the Xiang Palace. She would definitely do a good job of helping her husband manage matters. In the future, she would successfully ascend the position of empress. When that time came, she would definitely have everyone in this manor kneel at her feet!
When the hair was finally tied up, the matriarch coiled a perfectly nice coil around it. At this time, the forehead adorned with beautiful gems was revealed. It was in the shape of a phoenix, causing everyone that saw it to feel a strong sense of suppression.
Fen Dai was a little jealous. In the past, she believed that Chen Yu's face had been ruined; however, who knew that her father would actually be willing to spend this amount of money, embroidering this phoenix on her forehead. Not only did this not ruin her face, it added to its beauty. How could she possibly be reconciled.
Feng Yu Heng also sat to the side of the ceremony. When the colorful phoenix had been revealed, she nearly let out an audible laugh.
The phoenix had always been reborn from fire, and their entire body would exude a gold color. But right now, what exactly was going on? Was this a multi-colored chicken?
She bitterly smiled while shaking her head. Feng family, oh Feng family, you put this ambition so clearly out in the open.
After the long hair was tied up, the coming of age ceremony was considered completed. Feng Chen Yu stood up and kowtowed to the matriarch, Feng Jin Yuan and the Cheng shi sisters. They then heard her say: "Grandmother, father, mother, would you please be at ease. Chen Yu will definitely live up to your expectations. There will be a day when I will become the Feng family's support."
The matriarch nodded, a trace of expectation appearing in her heart.
At this time, a person loudly announced from the entrance: "The Xiang Palace has brought the betrothal gifts for the eldest young miss."

'Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition' holds casting call in Franklin
"Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition" is casting in Wisconsin for a second time.
For three seasons, trainer Chris Powell has helped people transform their lives. It's all documented for the show "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition."
Kerry Shanahan is a casting director for the ABC show.
"The feeling I get when watching the show is unlike any other. What you see on the screen with Chris is, he's humble, he's caring," Shanahan said.
Shanahan is at the Franklin Planet Fitness, searching for 12 participants who can dedicate a year for the fourth season.
"It's 365 days, and you're at home addressing issues that got you to this weight," Shanahan said.
Casting directors like Shanahan are visiting 13 cities in all to meet people who need to lose 50 percent or more of their body weight.
"Somebody that makes a good contestant is somebody who has the drive and has the will right now to want to change," Shanahan said.
This is a second visit to Wisconsin for the show.
They are looking for people 18 and older who will spend the next year exercising, changing their diet and even soul searching to drop the pounds.
"We always get a good crowd from the Midwest. Wisconsin delivered last season, and we're hoping it can deliver again," Shanahan said.
Anyone who is interested and meets the basic requirements, should go to the Planet Fitness in Franklin from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The casting director recommends coming early, but not before 7 a.m.
The Franklin Planet Fitness is located on 27th Street by College Avenue. Bring a non-returnable photo with you.
The casting directors won't say how many participants were from Wisconsin for Season 3, but one is a Waukesha County detective.
Read more about his transformation from WISN 12 News' partners at the Waukesha Patch.

Rolling Stone, in one of those fun gimmicks to intended to spur chatter and sales, ranks the top 100 Beatles songs in its latest issue, with "A Day in the Life" placing in the vaunted No. 1 spot.
While some no doubt will quibble with the choice, there's good reason for the song's lasting appeal, far beyond the melody. In "A Day in the Life," the ordinary ("Woke up, fell out of bed") is elevated to art on the wings of a soaring orchestral crescendo. Like a couple other Beatles numbers ("Penny Lane," "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da"), the tune is kind of a rock mini-version of "Our Town": people live, people die and there's beauty and meaning found in the everyday.
The recently renewed discussion of the 43-year-old song offers a soundtrack of sorts to the latest step in YouTube's innovative "Life in a Day" project, which called on people around the world to submit videos, about their lives, shot on July 24. The plan is to go through the submissions and somehow stitch many into a movie in time for the Sundance Film Festival in January.
In keeping with the open nature of the project, many of the 80,000 snippets submitted already can be found on YouTube, offering fascinating glimpses into lives of people across the globe. The clips include the mundane and the compelling – and those that are compelling for their sheer ordinariness.
Clicking around at random, you might find a young Philadelphia woman chronicling her dog-sitting gig on a hot summer day, while another young woman leads a dogsled team in a far colder clime. Relief workers are seen helping slowly rebuild Haiti, while a New Jersey man painstakingly constructs a town for his model railroad. A senior citizen whose floppy hat makes it difficult to tell the person's gender is spoon-fed mush in a Taiwanese hospital, while somewhere thousand of miles away a newborn girl named Natalie makes her video debut, topped by a cute pink bonnet.
John Lennon found lyrical fodder for his portion of "A Day in the Life" in newspaper clippings ("I read the news today, oh boy"). But in "Life in a Day," the material comes via the Internet at a time when life is more public than ever, thanks to tools that let users instantly share personal videos, pictures and other content. Even if footage of, say, some young Indian men giddily kicking a soccer ball along a monsoon-soaked pitch doesn't merit headlines or seems unlikely to go viral, it makes for good viewing, if only for a few seconds.
We're eager to see what noted filmmakers Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald pull together from videos uploaded by people in some 187 countries. Meanwhile, go here to check out some of the raw material of a day in the life of the world.

2013-2014 History
McNeese State University was established by the Louisiana Legislature in 1939. The institution was first named Lake Charles Junior College, and was a division of Louisiana State University with the opening session beginning on September 11, 1939. The following fall, the school changed its name to John McNeese Junior College to honor John McNeese, a renowned Southwest Louisiana educator and the first superintendent of schools in Imperial Calcasieu Parish. In 1950, McNeese became a four-year college in its own right and came under the authority of the Louisiana Board of Education. Finally, in 1970, McNeese State University became the official name of the school.
McNeese achieved Commission on Colleges/Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation in 1954 and maintains its regional accreditation status as a Level IV institution authorized to award associate, bachelor, master, and specialist degrees.
The University also provides opportunities for continuing education in support of its mission to value lifelong learning. As a member of the University of Louisiana System and a selective admissions institution, McNeese offers degrees through the department of general and basic studies and six academic colleges: Business, Education, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Nursing, and Science. McNeese's student body is comprised of students from throughout Louisiana, the United States, and approximately 50 countries. McNeese's athletic programs are NCAA-certified for competition at the Division I level.
The McNeese State University campus in Lake Charles, Louisiana, features 68 buildings on 500 acres dotted with live oak trees and azalea bushes. The McNeese community continues to use three original structures - Kaufman Hall, Ralph O. Ward Memorial Gym (the Arena), and Francis G. Bulber Auditorium. Bulber Auditorium, a striking example of Art Deco architecture, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
McNeese State University upholds a long tradition of service to the Southwest Louisiana community and the nation. The University motto of "Excellence with a Personal Touch" extends beyond the classroom. During World War II, the campus was the headquarters of the Louisiana Maneuvers, an extensive military exercise to prepare American soldiers for battle. In 1957, the McNeese community gave aid and comfort to the victims of Hurricane Audrey and served as the National Guard's base of rescue operations. Recently, McNeese provided shelter for New Orleans residents and university students fleeing from Hurricane Katrina. McNeese faced one of its greatest challenges when Hurricane Rita struck in the fall of 2005. The storm caused devastating damage to campus facilities and infrastructure. The recovery effort after Hurricane Rita demonstrated the resilience and commitment of the McNeese faculty, staff, and students to higher education and to moving forward in support of the core values of academic excellence, student success, fiscal responsibility, and university/community alliances.

Happy Birthday GCC!
GCC was first released in 1987, and was one of the first components identified by GNU Project founder Richard Stallman in his September 27th, 1983, message to the net.unix-wizards group on Usenet.
To begin with, GNU will be a kernel plus all the utilities needed to write and run C programs: editor, shell, C compiler, linker, assembler, and a few other things. After this we will add a text formatter, a YACC, an Empire game, a spreadsheet, and hundreds of other things. We hope to supply, eventually, everything useful that normally comes with a Unix system, and anything else useful, including on-line and hardcopy documentation.
Today we celebrate twenty-five years of GNU and the GNU Compiler Collection with an announcement by the GCC release managers:
When Richard Stallman announced the first public release of GCC in 1987, few could have imagined the broad impact that it has had. It has prototyped many language features that later were adopted as part of their respective standards -- everything from "long long" type to transactional memory. It deployed an architecture-neutral automatic vectorization facility, OpenMP, and Polyhedral loop nest optimization. It has provided the toolchain infrastructure for the GNU/Linux ecosystem used everywhere from Google and Facebook to financial markets and stock exchanges. We salute and thank the hundreds of developers who have contributed over the years to make GCC one of the most long-lasting and successful free software projects in the history of this industry.
As a special present we have prepared the release of GCC 4.7.0 which continues the series of free software high-quality industry-standard compilers.
GCC 4.7.0 is a major release, containing substantial new functionality not available in GCC 4.6.x or previous GCC releases.
GCC 4.7 features support for software transactional memory on selected architectures. The C++ compiler supports a bigger subset of the new ISO C++11 standard such as support for atomics and the C++11 memory model, non-static data member initializers, user-defined literals, alias-declarations, delegating constructors, explicit override and extended friend syntax. The C compiler adds support for more features from the new ISO C11 standard. GCC now supports version 3.1 of the OpenMP specification for C, C++ and Fortran.
The link-time optimization (LTO) framework has seen improvements with regards to scalability, stability and resource needs. Inlining and interprocedural constant propagation have been improved.
GCC 4.7 now supports various new GNU extensions to the DWARF debugging information format, like entry value and call site information, a typed DWARF stack and a more compact macro representation.
Extending the widest support for hardware architectures in the industry, GCC 4.7 gains support for Adapteva's Epiphany processor, National Semiconductor's CR16, and TI's C6X as well as Tilera's TILE-Gx and TILEPro families of processors. The x86 family support has been extended by the Intel Haswell and AMD Piledriver architectures. ARM has gained support for the Cortex-A7 family.
GCC 4.7 can be downloaded from ftp.gnu.org.

Geologist faces jail
QP admits fraud, prosecutor wants 10 years
By Greg Klein
The former head of gold exploration company Southwestern Resources faces a possible 10-year prison term, the Vancouver Sun reports. John Gregory Paterson, who was the company's president, CEO and largest shareholder, pleaded guilty to four counts of fraud involving false assay results from the Boka Gold Project in China. A sentencing hearing is underway in Vancouver.
But the process of justice has been slow. As Sun columnist David Baines reports, Paterson scammed shareholders from May 2003 to February 2007, when he issued 25 press releases reporting 446 assay results—of which 433 were fictional. Paterson was the qualified person who signed off on the phoney numbers.
He managed to continue his fraud during a 2005 PEA. His numbers were used to estimate a resource of 966,000 gold ounces indicated and four million ounces inferred.
It was only in 2007 that Southwestern executives and board members became suspicious about persistent delays in completing a pre-feas. In June of that year they launched an internal investigation. Paterson resigned. A delegation to China failed to locate Project Manager John Zhang, who received half a million dollars from Paterson.
The Crown prosecutor told court that Southwestern paid its CEO over $1 million a year from 2003 to 2005, rising to over $2 million in 2006. In his final year Paterson made $372,500 in salary and severance. He gained another $5.6 million by trading Southwestern shares through five brokerage accounts, the Crown added.
A class action lawsuit was settled in September 2008 for $15.52 million. The company put up $8.32 million while Paterson and his wife paid $7.2 million.
In June 2009 the B.C. Securities Commission slapped Paterson with a lifetime ban on trading, acting as a QP or engaging in IR activities. Shortly afterwards the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy revoked his membership.
The commission stated that due to the lawsuit, Paterson "is unable to pay the approximately $3.5 million to the BCSC that would have been required in this matter."
The BCSC also found that on July 16, 2007 Paterson dumped 50,000 Southwestern shares at $5.96, knowing the company was about to come clean. When the news broke two days later, Southwestern plunged to $2.90, reducing its market cap by $157.7 million.
In May 2009 Hochschild Mining HCHDF, a JV partner with Southwestern in a Peruvian gold-silver project, took over the company for $0.50 a share. The deal totalled $22.5 million.
RCMP laid charges in December 2010 and the case came to court last September 17.
The sentencing hearing continues in Vancouver where, the Sun reports, Paterson is expected to dispute Crown statements about the extent of damage his fraud inflicted.

The S&P 500 ended at another record high today, extending gains for a fifth day on investors' optimism that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates low for a long period of time.
The S&P 500's gain was slim, however, with the benchmark index recovering late in the session from earlier losses. Retailers, including Coach, weighed on the index.
The Dow also eked out a gain, while the Nasdaq slipped a day after the Fed lowered its forecast for target US interest rates in the long term
Energy shares ranked among the biggest gainers. Oil prices ended higher after President Barack Obama said he was sending up to 300 US military advisers to Iraq as the Iraqi government's troops fought Sunni rebels for control of the country's biggest refinery. Shares of Chevron Corp added 1.3 percent to $131.99..
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 14.84 points or 0.09 percent, to end at 16,921.46. The S&P 500 gained 2.50 points or 0.13 percent, to close at 1,959.48. The Nasdaq Composite fell 3.51 points or 0.08 percent, to 4,359.33.
The advance marked the S&P 500's second record close in a row.
Factory activity in the US Mid-Atlantic region grew at a faster pace than expected in June. The Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank said its business activity index shot up to 17.8 from 15.4 in May, above the forecast for a reading of 14.
European shares rose in early deals boosted after the Federal Reserve said the US economy was making progress and committed to retaining accommodative monetary policy over the long term.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 rose 0.7 percent, tracking gains overnight on Wall Street and in Asia that saw the S&P 500 hit a new record high.
The Euro STOXX Volatility index, which measures how much investors have to pay to protect gains through options and is a crude indicator of investor fear, fell to its lowest since December 2006.
The gains were made after the Fed hinted at a slightly faster pace of interest-rate increases starting next year but suggested rates in the long run would be lower than it had indicated previously.
Expectations had been building that the Fed would take a more hawkish view in order to tackle inflation that was higher than anticipated.
The rise left the FTSEurofirst 300 just 0.1 percent off of its 2014 high set earlier this month, which was the index's highest level since January 2008.
The index has been rangebound in recent weeks as violence in Iraq has pushed up the price of oil, lifting shares of major oil companies but raising input costs for other companies, as well as squeezing consumer spending.
Brent crude held near a nine-month high above $114 a barrel on Thursday, poised for a third day of gains following a rise of more than 4 percent last week on supply concerns after Islamic militants seized much of northern Iraq.
Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei share average jumped 1.6 percent to a 4-1/2-month high after the Federal Reserve expressed confidence on the US economy and committed to its dovish monetary policy, which spurred buying from foreign investors.
The Nikkei rose 245.36 points to 15,361.16, its highest close since Jan. 29. The broader Topix soared 1.6 percent to 1,269.04 in active trade, with 2.78 billion shares changing hands - the highest since May 30.

You know how I feel about film deals. At first, sure, everyone's excited. It's going to be the greatest movie ever made. You'll be walking down the red carpet in no time, Max. You'll be doing blow off the naked backs of strung-out starlets. But a few years later, and you know what? No starlets. Not one.
Not that it's all about the starlets. I'm happily married. I'm just saying, it would be nice to be offered starlets. The point is, I have discovered that there's a lot that can derail a project between sign-on and starlets. In fact, starlets seem to be the exception. Most of the time, the movie never happens.
So when the Machine Man deal happened, I tried to steel myself. "Meh," I told people. "Not as glamorous as it sounds. Probably never go anywhere." A few months ago, I heard Darren Aronofsky was interested in directing. "Yeah, there's always a big name who's interested," I said. "Everyone's always interested." Then he signed on. And today it's public, being reported in Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
Now, Aronofsky is possibly the greatest director in the world. By which I mean, if you wrote a book or a screenplay, and you wanted someone to make it into a film, you would choose him. Because many people can do smart and unsettling and entertaining, but not usually all at once.
His newest film is "Black Swan," which premieres in the US on December 3. It's written by Mark Heyman, who is also on board for Machine Man. So I'm basically hoping Black Swan is the best movie of all time.
It is getting harder to stay cool about this.
By the way, Aronofsky was involved with the Robocop remake before the studio imploded. So do you think he walked away with a head full of unrealized ideas about bioaugmentation or what?

|Tojo's Great Pacific Roll
Blog posts have a life of their own. You write them, forget about them, and then a day, week, a year later, there's a response. The process can be like sending out a message in a bottle, having it circumnavigate the globe and return to your shore with an answer. Last New Year, I blogged about this article on Japanese osechi ryori, which I wrote for Edible Manhattan.
I happened to be in Vancouver at the time, so I wondered where I might be able to find osechi in that Pacific city, home to lots of Japanese ex-pats and with great access to both freshly caught seafood and Japanese ingredients.
Then just recently, my bottle returned when I received this comment from Hopstepka, who I assume is a Vancouver blogger: "Just found your query. The best osechi ryori we've found is sold by Seto Sushi in Richmond. After that, there's Fujiya."
Thanks, Hopstepka! Seto's menu includes the delicious-sounding matsutake dobin mushi (translated as mushroom tea pot soup with seasonal pine mushroom) and an intriguing BBQ tako cake (BBQ octopus fish cake).
I got to wondering what my favorite sushi chef in Vancouver, Hidekazu Tojo, does to ring in the New Year at his eponymous West Broadway restaurant. Although he trained in a traditional Osaka ryotei, or high-end Japanese restaurant, Tojo says "I never really liked osechi. Everything is too salty, because the idea was that you put the food in a box that would last three or four days so you wouldn't have to cook during the holiday.
|More of Tojo's sushi, fresh, fresh, fresh.
"Today, young people don't like overly salty cooking, and the people who come here are very health-oriented, they don't like foods that are to sweet, salty, or deep-fried. So I cook 'new traditional food.'"
For New Year's Tojo makes his usual omakase, or chef's choice menu, a series of small plates that progress from a sunomono, or vinegared vegetables, on to various steamed, fried and seared dishes as well as raw fish and sushi plates. He includes "new wave rolls" like his Pacific Northwest Roll of dungeness crab, avocado, scallop and fish roe, or his Northern Light Roll of wild prawn tempura, avocado and seasonal fruit rolled in a cucumber crepe.
During New Year's week, the chef will highlight traditional Japanese foods, where he updates osechi ingredients such as lotus root and black bean. He might lightly saute the lotus, and simmer the black beans in a less sugary-sweet syrup than the traditional style.
|From the omakase menu, BC salmon with Asian vegetables, western-style sauce.
Referring to the somewhat westernized sauces and preparations that have crept into his food over 40 years in Vancouver, Tojo adds, "Even in Japan now, European, Chinese, Japanese food, all of it's mixed." In Canada, he believes, "The best way is to little by little introduce traditional Japanese foods."
Some osechi traditions die hard, though. Even an avowed healthy modernist like Tojo adheres to some of the symbolism that is an essential part of osechi. The colors red and white, he notes, are most important, symbolizing respect for ancestors, good health, and purity. They'll be represented on his plates in the form of the traditional kohaku namasu, a red and white vinegared daikon and carrot salad. He'll also serve red shrimp, and a little bit of white dried fish.
So the traditional New Year's feast will be present at Tojo's, but in small bits and bites, slipped in between plates of some of the most pristine raw fish preparations you'll find on the West Coast.
Sounds great. The only problem: I won't be in Vancouver for this year's celebration.

A divided city: downtown without, mid- and uptown blazing lights:
While parts of Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island are truly devastated, Hurricane Sandy "just" left Lower Manhattan without power, Wednesday, Oct 31, 2012:
Large backup generators provide just enough power to keep a restaurant up and running, like a beacon of light attracting patrons"
Food trucks have become the main fare in the area of Manhattan which have lost power, supplying food to residents, work crews and tourists:
2 Bros. Pizza making and selling pizza in the dark. The restaurant is right on the edge of the area affected by the power outage. The building right to the north, has regular power, all buildings to the south of 25th Street and 6th Ave are without power
Broadway & Union Square North, only lit by passing cars, bike and pedestrians with flash lights. A handful of apartments have chosen to use candles to light their spaces:
Union Square Subway station on the South-Eastern corner, with a generator running on the borrow of the stairs to power some backup utilities, and possibly the police station that is under ground inside the subway. (artificially lit with a flashlight)
On Third Avenue and East 39th Street, the line between city blocks with and without power became even more apparent:

Don't be a condescending jerk. Before accusing someone of being wrong, consider that perhaps you failed to understand the point they were making.Wargazm wrote:Obviously you are not very experienced as your facts you are stating are 100% incorrect. Make sure you know the facts before stating them in a public forum where others may believe what you say has truth to it.
OF COURSE, you can queue with any team and the game will match you up with someone eventually. A team for capturing wild pets probably includes a Terrible Turnip which you might not want as part of your PvP team. A team for leveling includes a lowbie (by definition) that is there for XP not because it's necessarily any good at PvP battles. Exactly like I said, being team locked while queuing and not being able to have an optimized PvP team "standing by" discourages players from combining queuing for pet battles with other popular pet battle activities: hunting and XPing.
I'll try putting it more simply: I like using a optimized team of 3 pets for PvP battles. I like hunting for rares (or breeds) that I don't already have without risking an accidental kill (which means I'm using my Turnip). You can't do both of those things at once. It would be awesome if you could. Perhaps more people would pet battle if they could.

I ended with 6 finds, 3DNF's(1of which I found out later has been archived), 3 benchmarks, and 2 travel bugs. All of this and I was still back in Russellville by 9:30 this morning just in time for breakfast. Everybody else slept in this morning.

"By 2016, bioenergy responsibly contributes to biodiversity conservation, climate change solutions and sustainable livelihoods, as part of building resilient ecological and socio-economic systems." This is IUCN's working vision for sustainable bioenergy, an outcome of a recent workshop that convened Members, partners, Commissions and IUCN staff to develop an IUCN bioenergy strategy.*
Over the last five years, IUCN has built up a programme of work primarily around biofuel policies and standards setting, guided by resolutions 4.082 Sustainable biomass-based energy and 4.083 Industrial agrofuel production. IUCN's experience with local biomass-based energy systems have an even longer history, in relation to forest landscape management and conservation. Building on existing experience and expertise in IUCN's networks is critically important in the process of developing a strategy for future engagement.
The energy team in IUCN convened a group of IUCN colleagues and partners to guide the future direction of IUCN's work on biomass-based energy systems – from global markets for liquid transport fuels to local production and consumption of biomass for heating and cooking. They included:
- IUCN regional and national offices, (Europe and Mozambique, with inputs received from South America and West and Central Africa regional offices)
- IUCN global thematic programmes
- IUCN Commissions (CEL, CEESP)
- Members (Conservation International, IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands, Wetlands International, WWF)
- Partners (HCV Network, Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels, Shell, United Nations Environment Programme, Universidade de Evora)
The workshop agenda consisted of three parts: 1) an internal reflection of IUCN's bioenergy work and linkages across IUCN, 2) an assessment of bioenergy strategies and learning edges from our external partners as well as the value proposition that IUCN provides, and 3) an internal discussion on the elements of a bioenergy strategy, including a working vision statement.
"I greatly appreciated being part of this process. As both a commission member (CEESP) and part of a member NGO, I found the discussions very helpful for understanding the perspectives of others and what they are doing. Having staff from different sections of IUCN made it possible for us to come up with realistic ideas of what else they might do", said Doris Cellarius, from the Sierra Club.
Future work should have more emphasis on reaching out to the regional and national offices and Members working on bioenergy projects, to make local to global connections. External partners identified the important role IUCN can play in facilitating the use of effective land use planning tools, and communicating examples of bioenergy projects from across the Union that are contributing positively to environmental and social dimensions.
As Christine Dragisic, from member organisation Conservation International, noted, "It's impressive the way that IUCN has worked with so many other partners on biofuels. Their support in this area, for example, convening a session on biofuels and biodiversity at the recent CBD COP10 in Nagoya, is much appreciated".
The energy team will be building the advice and insights from the workshop into a strategy for IUCN's work on bioenergy in the short to medium term, as well as reaching out to other groups in IUCN for comment. Elements of the strategy will include:
- expanding our knowledge base and experience in managing bioenergy systems sustainably, building on case studies and examples from the field;
- using science-based evidence to inform issues such as land use change, invasive species, water use;
- deepening the understanding across our networks about the implications of different bioenergy pathways in terms of possible outcomes for biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, watersheds, livelihoods and equitable energy access.
Members, Commission members and colleagues who are active in the area of bioenergy and have potential case studies to contribute, or general feedback, are encouraged to contact IUCN's programme officer on bioenergy, firstname.lastname@example.com.
* Original article dated 26 November 2010. Revised to include final workshop report on 18 February 2011.
