'Keith Lemon' drops trou in attempt to promote his film
5/20/2012The latest in the long tradition of actors appearing in character to promote their movie is Leigh Francis, appearing at the Cannes Film Festival as his perma-tan, mullet-sporting, campy alter ego Keith Lemon to promote the imaginatively named upcoming film "Keith Lemon: The Film." The poolside photo shoot, where Lemon disrobed to reveal mercifully substantial leopard print underwear, also featured co-star Kelly Brook. The actress/model, who plays herself, says she researched the eye-widening role by repeatedly watching Tulisa Contostavlos' sex tape. The "offensive" film, co-starring the unlikely combination of David Hasslehoff, Tinchy Stryder and Verne Troyer, will be released in August.

Canaries skipper calls for focus
Published : 06 Jan 2010 11:24:25
Norwich captain Grant Holt has urged his team-mates to concentrate on their own results as the Canaries target promotion from League One. After a slow start to the season, City have hit their stride under Paul Lambert and moved into the top two for the first time by beating Wycombe 1-0 at the weekend. Holt said: "I said to the lads in the changing room 'Now we're there, it's all about cementing that position'. We need to keep going and if we can get ourselves further and further away even better. We'll just worry about ourselves. "It's not a case of what Charlton or Leeds or whoever do - we just have to worry about our own performances, get the results and the league will take care of itself. "We never looked to catch Charlton, we just wanted to do our own thing and we have. Now if we keep winning we'll stay in the same position and anything else is just a bonus."

Neuropsychological Tests
How It Is Done
There are many kinds of neuropsychological tests. The ones you take will depend on the particular brain functions that your doctor wants to check.
The tests are meant to test your limits, so don't be discouraged if they seem hard.
Most of the tests involve answering questions or performing tasks. You may be taking some of the tests on a computer, using pencil and paper, or using other objects. Here are some examples of brain functions and some tests that check them:
Tests for attention span and memory. You might be asked to:
- Repeat a series of numbers, letters, or words.
- Look at some simple drawings and then draw them from memory.
Tests for language and speech skills. You might be asked to:
- Name pictures that the examiner shows you.
- Point to a picture named by the examiner.
- Name as many words as you can think of that begin with a certain letter or are in a certain category (for example, animals or fruits).
Test for reasoning, planning, and organizing skills. You might be asked to:
- Sort cards according to colors or shapes on the cards.
- Use a pencil to connect a series of numbered or lettered dots on a sheet of paper.
- Stack colored discs in a certain pattern.
It may take several hours to take all the tests. But you may not have to take all of them at once.

President-elect must move quickly on transition
- By Mary Gilbert
- November 3, 2008
- Comments
Burke: I don't think so at all. I think one of the challenges this year during the transition is that they are going to have to move very quickly on a number of different fronts to begin the process of governing.
Q: What are some of the particular challenges that the incoming president faces in 2008?
Burke: Number one, because it is the first post-9/11 [transition], that means that the whole issue of getting your homeland security team up and running early during the transition is a new task that prior presidents haven't had to face. Secondly, because we're fighting two wars, making sure that your foreign policy team is in place early is much more important in the upcoming transition. And then third, making sure your economic team is in place given the financial crisis and a recession and so on. So on three different fronts, the pressure during this transition is much greater, I think, than transitions in the past.
Q: When should candidates start thinking about the transition?
Burke: It depends upon the candidate. And it usually begins very early. One of the interesting things about George W. Bush's transition to office is that he actually began in the spring of 1999, when he tapped his, in effect, gubernatorial chief of staff, Clay Johnson, to begin the pre-election transition process. Other candidates have started later. His father started shortly after Christmas of 1987. Jimmy Carter started right after he won the Pennsylvania primary, which I think was in April 1976.... As somebody who studies transitions, I think it's very, very important that they do begin that process early.

Acid King - Busse Woods
Album Details
- Artist: Acid King
- Album: Busse Woods
- Label: Small Stone
- Year of Release: 2004
- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: patchen on 2007-07-06
Say you are sitting around the campfire. It is only September, so every-time you get too close to the fire, you get wicked hot and need to pound a beer to cool off. But if you drift away from the fire, you get too chilly and need a joint to warm back up. In the meantime you are trying to remember conversations conducted at each temperature zone, in between trying to groove to the music, the buzz, and the urge to piss that, after so many beers, will be satisfied right where you stand, right down your leg. If you are lucky, Acid King will be playing on the stereo sitting in the window and pointing out into the yard at you.
Their brand of stoner/sludge is so slow and groove-y, it will not be your imagination if you stop listening for several minutes, and still feel like you've missed no minutes of the song. Acid King are not repetitive; they really DO take about five minutes to finish a chord change. "Busse Woods" is timeless, and gives Blue Cheer a run for fuzzy guitar overload as well as molasses-slow odes to drug, drink, ass, and Lemmy. You will laugh in joy for weeks, sober or not, to realize that their cover of "Motorhead" is only 4 minutes 44. It seems like it goes on for days, every ground-zero rock & roll moment of it.

Dave McClure and Stanford Professor BJ Fogg (Captology lab)have been teaching a class on Facebook applications at Stanford over the past semester. The class is made up of about 50 students who teamed up to produce 25 applications. We got a look at the applications earlier. Today we received word that one of them, KissMe, has crossed 1 million installs as of 6:30pm this evening. Another app, Send Hotness is likely to break 1 million in the next few days. It's pretty amazing considering a lot of professional apps barely register.
KissMe – kiss your friends, basically by inviting them to use the application. Apparently this is the most popular application of the whole class in terms of the number of users it has (100,000).
Send Hotness – figure out your ten hottest friends; invite your friends to help you with rankings. You must invite at least ten people to see the rankings.

To be perfectly honest, you should be doing the temp sensors, cleaning the grounds, adding grounding wires, and replacing the vac lines with all of the other stuff you did anyhow.
Also, ignition timing is PART of the timing belt change procedure... so why are you trying to troubleshoot before you finish your timing belt job? Adjusting the idle screw is also technically part of this.
Unplug the o2 sensor and see if the idle changes. Also, it is safest to unplug or plug in the ISV with the battery disconnected as far as I have heard (though others have told me that the key just needs to be out, but do you really want to gamble with the ECU)?
A bad G60 could add drag or reduce the air in the mix and create a weird idle until the computer kicks in after it reaches temp... I suppose. It would have to be pretty shot though.
Keep in mind the computer is basically blind and deaf on a cold start, so it takes certain conditions for granted. It is programmed to be generous in order to get your car the fuel, etc that it needs on a cold start, even if your car is a bit off or you are in a weird climate. However, it is still assuming that you are not going to exceed those maximum or minimum variable values that are programmed into the mapping for the cold start. If something is pretty far off, it might have a hard time on a cold start but then sortof recover once the sensors are all working together to make adjustments, though they are maxing out their adjustability so to speak. I just had this type of situation happen with my AFR, it would only normalize once the sensors were warmed up and the computer knew to basically open everything up all the way.

The labor market in 2009: recession drags on
Steven F. Hipple
Steven F. Hipple is an economist in the Division of Labor Force Statistics in the Office of Employment and Unemployment Statistics of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. E-mail: email@example.com
In 2009, the unemployment rate reached double digits, the employment-population ratio fell sharply, and the numbers of unemployed, discouraged workers, and involuntary part-timers rose.
The United States economy was in a recession when 2009 began. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) had designated December 2007 as the beginning of the recession, and labor market conditions had deteriorated throughout 2008.1 The financial crisis in the fall of 2008 had resulted in steep declines in employment and sharp increases in unemployment that carried into the first part of 2009. Although job losses moderated as the year progressed, the number of unemployed people age 16 and over stood at 15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The unemployment rate, already high by historical standards at the beginning of the year, reached 10.0 percent during the last quarter of 2009, higher than at any time since the early 1980s. (See chart 1.) The unemployment rate for men, 11.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, was the highest in the history of the series, which began in 1948.
The number of employed people age 16 and over, as measured by the Current Population Survey (CPS), was 138.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, 5.8 million lower than a year earlier.2 The over-the-year percentage decline in employment (4.0 percent) was the largest on record. (For a comparison of the employment measures available from the CPS with those from the Current Employment Statistics survey, see the box on page 5.) Reflecting the sharp decrease in employment, the employment-population ratio dropped by 2.9 percentage points over the year, to 58.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009. (See chart 2.) The decline in the employment-population ratio during 2009 was the largest over-the-year decrease in the history of the series, which dates back to 1948.
Although unemployment rose and employment declined in 2009, the decrease in labor force participation was relatively small.3 The labor force participation rate fell by 1.0 percentage point over the year, to 64.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.

1 The NBER, the generally recognized arbiter of recessions in the United States, has designated December 2007 as the beginning of the most recent recession. The NBER has not yet determined an endpoint for the most recent recession.
2 The data in this article are based on information collected in the CPS, which is a survey of about 60,000 households nationwide; the CPS is sponsored jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau. (For more information about the CPS, see the box on page 5.) Although the CPS is a monthly survey, the data analyzed throughout this article are seasonally adjusted quarterly averages, unless otherwise noted. All over-the-year changes—unless otherwise noted—are comparisons of fourth-quarter data from 2008 with those from 2009.
3 The labor force participation rate is the civilian labor force as a percent of the civilian noninstitutional population. The labor force is the sum of the employed and unemployed. (A person cannot be considered "unemployed" if he or she is not in the labor force.)

Ken, in a smart Prada suit, places a kiss on his bride's sexy shoulders; her bouquet is a clutch of white ranunculus and white sweet peas.
Location: Long Island, NY
From the moment she started planning her wedding, Eva Hoffman had three priorities: a spring celebration, a Hamptons, New York, setting and a no-gifts policy. "Since this was my second marriage, I wanted to do something different," says the bride. That meant suggesting that guests make a donation to the Ruth Yucht Kroll Memorial Fund instead of giving traditional presents. "Ruthie was my best friend's mom and a second mother to me," explains Eva. "Everyone in our community loved her. The memorial fund was established to keep her passion for education alive." Contributions to the endowment, which is administered by the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Middlesex, New Jersey, go toward funding religious studies for adult women.
The tribute added a sentimental touch to Eva's nuptials to Ken Cornick, whom she met on a blind date. They decided to have an alfresco affair in the charming seaside Long Island village where Ken spent childhood summers. On a warm day in May, 150 guests gathered on the patio of the East Hampton Point restaurant for a traditional Jewish ceremony. Afterward, the party moved indoors for a seated dinner of miso-glazed halibut, risotto cakes and whoopee pies. A jiving band provided the evening's entertainment. "Our wedding truly reflected Ken and me as a couple," recalls Eva. "And it also gave us the chance to do something for others and remember Ruthie."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- With the rest of the Kings' backcourt banged up, Isaiah Thomas is making the most of his opportunity to start.
Thomas scored 27 points in his second start in the past six weeks and made one of Sacramento's two four-point plays in the second half as the Kings handed the Boston Celtics their third straight lopsided loss on a California road swing, 118-96 on Sunday night.
"That guy has an infectious personality," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "He has that magnetism that brings players and people around to him. He brought that energy to start the game off right with him in the starting lineup. All our guards do a great job, but what he's been able to do is kind of give us a little injection of the steam that we need. He's done that, plus he's making his shots."
Thomas got the chance to start in part because Aaron Brooks (left ankle) and Tyreke Evans (left knee) are sidelined. The Kings also lost Marcus Thornton to a sprained left ankle during the game but it didn't hurt them as they had their second-highest scoring game of the season and had at least 28 assists for the fourth straight game.
DeMarcus Cousins, in his second game back from a team suspension, made Boston pay for its double teams by posting 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double.
John Salmons added 23 points off the bench and Jason Thompson scored 20 as Sacramento won its fourth straight home game.
"We played a great game as a team," Thomas said. "We were very unselfish. That usually happens when you're unselfish and you're playing aggressive -- things start to open up."
The Celtics are going in the other direction after handily beating Brooklyn on Christmas Day. They followed that win with a trip to California to face the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State and Sacramento and got outscored by 69 points in losing all three to fall two games under .500.
"The reason why guys came back is because of what we built here and that we are known to defend," Boston forward Kevin Garnett said. "For some reason, we've gotten away from that. So we're going to have to go back to our origins to figure it out."
The Kings were in control for most of this game and then pulled away with their long-range shooting in the fourth quarter. James Johnson and Jimmer Fredette made 3-pointers early in the fourth and then Salmons' 3-pointer midway through the quarter off a pass from Cousins gave the Kings a 100-84 lead.
Cousins found Thomas for a long-range shot on Sacramento's next trip while being fouled by Paul Pierce. Thomas added the free throw for the four-point play that made it 104-86 with 5 minutes to play.
Cousins had six of his assists in the fourth quarter to get the triple-double.
"It felt good, first one of my career," he said. "I'm just glad my teammates gave me the opportunity to do it."
Even the return to the lineup of star point guard Rajon Rondo couldn't help the Celtics. Rondo, who missed Saturday's loss at Golden State with a bruised right thigh and hip, missed his first five shots and finished with two points and 10 assists.
Pierce scored 20 points to give him 23,189 in his career, passing Adrian Dantley for 23rd place all-time. Jason Terry also had 20 for Boston.
"Winning is hard. I don't know if all our guys get that," coach Doc Rivers said. "You have to play hard to win an NBA game. One game. It's difficult and we're not doing it."
The Kings took a six-point lead midway through the third quarter when Thornton was fouled by Terry on a 3-pointer. Thornton sprained his left ankle on the play when he landed on Terry's foot and left the game.
"When it happened I thought it was worse because it felt so bad at that point in time," Thornton said. "I'm just happy it was a sprain."
Johnson made the free throw to complete the four-point play and make it 63-57.
A 3-pointer by Thomas extended Sacramento's lead to 13 points in the final minute of the third. The Celtics trailed 84-73 after three -- the 11th straight quarter they had trailed after on this road trip.
The Kings got off to a fast start with the Celtics playing the back end of a back-to-back and led by 10 early. The Celtics trailed 54-49 at halftime after Garnett beat the buzzer with a layup when the Kings got caught celebrating Cousins' basket with 1.5 seconds remaining.
NOTES: Sacramento's previous triple-double was by Beno Udrih at Cleveland on March 28, 2010. ... Evans will get a second opinion this week on his sore left knee that sidelined him for the 12th time this season. ... Celtics G Leandro Barbosa rejoined the team after going home to his native Brazil to deal with family issues. He entered late and scored two points in 4 minutes.

If she dies, does it mean anything beyond a brief sales spike because collectors/speculators think they'll be able to make a profit selling the book later? That is the question.

John Adams
Share This
New England-born, California-based composer
John Adams
is a pivotal figure in 20th century classical music, as he can be viewed as either the last of the minimalists or the first of the post-minimalists. Though his music shares several traits with that of
Steve Reich
Philip Glass
, or
Terry Riley
' music from his earliest works used a wide variety of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic ideas, making his music perhaps more accessible to a new listener who might find works like
In C
Einstein on the Beach
too forbidding.
John Adams
was born on February 15, 1947, in Worchester, Massachusetts, and raised in various towns throughout New England. His parents recognized his aptitude for music early; his father, an amateur clarinetist, taught him the basics of the instrument, and both joined a local concert band in their New Hampshire town when
was in his early teens. By this point,
had already had several years' worth of piano and other music lessons; he claims that he knew he was going to be a composer by the age of eight and was already writing tonal orchestral pieces by the time he was 13.
entered Harvard University in 1965, completing his undergraduate and graduate work under
Leon Kirchner
Roger Sessions
, and David del Tredici while pursuing an abiding interest in jazz and rock in his spare time. (A 1970 composition for two-channel tape was called "Heavy Metal.") At Harvard,
focused primarily on performing and conducting, with composition little more than a hobby. By the time he graduated in 1971 and took a teaching job at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music,
had changed his focus to composing, writing chamber and choral works for a variety of ensembles; he later dismissed most of these works, the majority of which remain unpublished, and considers 1977's "Phrygian Gates," a pulsing solo piano piece commissioned by the performer Mack McCray, to be his first mature composition. This was quickly followed by 1978's string ensemble piece "Shaker Loops," which would prove to be
' most popular early work, and the 1980 composition for chorus and orchestra
, which used poetry by
John Donne
Emily Dickinson
as its texts.
Grand Pianola Music
' first controversial work, a brassy and ironic ensemble piece for two pianos, female voices, winds, brass, and percussion that sounds like a Mad magazine parody of
Charles Ives
and was booed upon its premiere. 1985's
is an even more deliberately parodic piece named after
Arnold Schoenberg
's 1911 treatise on tonal harmony that was the first step towards the Austrian composer's rejection of tonality.
has expressed his dislike for
's 12-tone music in several ways, and in this long piece he goes so far as to revise the 12-tone system out of 20th century musical history entirely, by applying the techniques of minimalism to the tonally rich Late Romantic tradition of the early 20th century.
' next major work, 1987's
Nixon in China
, temporarily elevated him from the modern classical ghetto into the mainstream public eye. A full-length opera, in English (with a libretto by the poet
Alice Goodman
), featuring Richard Nixon, his wife Pat, Henry Kissinger, Chairman Mao, and Madame Mao as the main characters and based on the true events of Nixon's historic 1972 visit to China,
Nixon in China
was that rarity, a serious piece of modern classical music that created a popular media sensation, particularly among misguided pundits who decried it as liberal political propaganda disguised as art. Although
, who was of draft age during the Vietnam War, makes no secret of his personal dislike of the man,
's libretto is actually surprisingly sympathetic towards the former president, even at its most cutting. (Two smaller works, 1985's ballet score
The Chairman Dances
and 1987's voice-and-orchestra suite The Nixon Tapes, were fashioned from leftovers from this large-scale project.)
The Death of Klinghoffer
, another opera with a libretto by
, was an even more controversial release; a tragic, elegiac work based on a horrifying 1984 terrorist attack aboard a cruise ship, the artistic virtues of this opera have grown obscured by political jockeying over what some see as a pro-Palestinian/anti-Israeli bias due to the fact that the terrorists are not portrayed as cardboard villains. A planned performance of the opera's choruses by the
Boston Symphony Orchestra
was canceled in November 2001 due to heightened sensitivities following the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington the previous September.

Oh, we went back the next morning, and they were waiting outside the non-existent front door for breakfast! As were the two goats we also turned out of their pen by the house, and they had huddled in the woods overnight.
Both cats lived long lives after that... Mama goat was outplaced to a farm, her kid was butchered for a friend who was pregnant & poor (the kid was rambunctious, and so was her baby! He definitely got that kicky, bouncy young kid goat energy...). We moved into a tiny 200 sf cabin with our 2 big dogs, the cats, & the cocckkatiels (misspelled on purpose to evade the censor) we grabbed as we ran out of the house. One 'tiel died a month later, the other lived for another 20 years.
We successfully sued the landlord for our losses, and I ended up building a darling home with the first community land trust in both the state & on Lopez. For 20 years, I celebrated the fire on the anniversary - Dec. 29th - by burning something I was done with. Last year I decided was my final ceremony, and I completely forgot about it till the posting earlier. This fire redirected my life in all the best ways, and I will be forever grateful for it. Thanks for 'listening'.

Mayweather savages 'fat' Hatton
Dunno how many fight fans are on here, but if Hatton has any sense he will stay well away from Mayweather. Hatton is living off his victory against a 35 year old, shot kosta tszyu. His last two performances across the pond have been shockingly bad, if he goes anywhere near Floyd he will get absolutely wasted. Although all the blinkered Hatton fans will tell you you different. Now Oscar De La Hoya up against Mayweather is a fantastic prospect. |

Ricky hasn't looked at his best, no. I'm no expert, but I can't imagine having to shift a (reported) 40lbs in 10 weeks before his last fight helped.
There's a distinct suspicion he's avoiding certain fighters too. Junior Witter is always on about wanting to fight him & the IBF have threatened to strip him (again) if he goes ahead with his plan to fight Jose Luis Castillo (well into his 30s) rather than the mandatory challenger.
- As featured in The Independent. "This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers." - Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads |

If he doesn't take on Castillo, and chooses to defend his IBF title, then his chances of leaving some sort of legacy will vanish. Miguel Cotto and/or Mayweather, should he meet either will expose Hatton.

Is it okay to be selfish? We are taught by our parents to share our toys, to serve dinner to our friends first, always spare someone else's feelings (this is the one time lying is sometimes acceptable – we are talking about white lies here). So, when does the time come to put our own needs first? How do you figure out what you like and want if you're worrying – constantly – about everyone else? These questions (and their answers) lead me to believe that it is sometimes necessary to be selfish in order to find your passion.
I want to seize an entire day – heck an entire weekend – to chase my interests, and go wherever it may lead me. Others can follow my lead; they may join along in my plans – but they are indeed my plans.
Why is it then that coming up with a weekend's worth of plans completely on my own is a bit like being hung to dry by my toenails? It's scary, almost painful, but sure to teach me a lesson.
Let's picture it…
I would appreciate sleeping to start things off, though not past 9:45AM. Sleeping much later really wastes a good portion of your day. To follow this up – an immediate Starbucks run and a walk to the East River – dog and camera in tow. Approximately two Venti refills later, a couple hours of walking, dog parking, and picture snapping I would circle my way back to my apartment and take approximately 30-40 minutes to take a shower. My logic here is simple: when I decide to take my sweet time listening to loud music, windows open (winter or summer) eating yogurt and dropping clothes one piece at a time all over my apartment… it's going to take a while. AND if this is my day… I will be practicing my "moves" during the whole ordeal; not to worry folks… I usually justify my routine by labeling it exercise, so we're all good!
Now, after I've cleaned myself up, it is time for the rest of my day – and oh, the possibilities… I have half left! I believe I would like to dedicate a good portion of that time to the Union Square Farmer's market. This is a great set up on the Lower East Side – local farmers and vendors, fresh produce, everything is outside… excellente…
City Harvest also gets volunteers to collect leftover produce that the local farmers/vendors weren't able to sell over the weekend to charity. Now, it doesn't get any better than that.
I would most definitely try my hardest to swing a small volunteer gig into "my" weekend.
After the "shop 'til I drop" experience at the market and most likely struggling to carry home vast amounts of fruits, vegetables, and handmade soap… mmm, soap… I would lug it all back up into my apartment to create a new concoction. I find, one of my guilty pleasures is to create a new meal based around a item I've never had before. Bring on the rutabagas, pummelos, and chayote squash… My absolute favorite thing to buy from the market: an assortment basket of hot peppers - chilies, jalapenos, habaneros… everything tastes better spicy. Insert stomach of steel jokes here. I've earned them!
Thoroughly satisfied with my fresh meal – on my day – I would go (with or without company) to a movie of my choice. Sometimes, it is almost better to go to a movie alone. Now call me crazy – but no one can tease you for freaking out if you are scared or laughing at inappropriate moments if you are there in the privacy of your own company.
Sunday Funday.
Sunday is go-to-the-park-day; the park of choice being of course Central Park. So – on this very special weekend… (weather permitting) camera, dog, journal, kindle, and snacks packed up – it would be off to the park. I really could waste hours ( upon hours…) at the park. I love to watch people, in the non-I'm-about-to-chop-you-up-and-put-you-in-my-freezer sort of way, of course. I helps me write, think, paint, photograph, it helps pretty much do everything. I don't know if that is because it is one of the quietest places in Manhattan? Or if because it is some of the "freshest" air? Nevertheless, I've found this ritual to be most enjoyable alone as well.
With other people I feel compelled to fulfill a mission or end in a particular destination. I feel constantly pushed as if in a "hurry up and wait" mentality where my company's presence shoves me one beat off what would be a perfectly syncopated rhythm.
Alone – I am free to snap photos, walk the dog, sketch, and read anything from best sellers to bargain books.
I'm not completely sure why – but being outside all day is satisfying yet draining. By the time evening sets in I would most definitely have my mind zeroing in on real food, more specifically homemade pizza, and a bottle of red wine. All consumed in the safety of my porch. Twinkling holiday lights are lit year round and set a peaceful ambiance. My cheeks warm from wine, my muscles loose, my hair still wet from a quick shower to wash off the day…I would slip into bed.
Now, this really was just my weekend. What are your 20′s for – if not to be selfish?
