Holiday Weekend Gas Prices, Beach Travel Preview
Travelers leaving for the Independence Day holiday will face high traffic flow but lower gas prices Friday.
Holiday travelers have a reason to rejoice over the Fourth of July holiday weekend: lower gas prices.
AAA defines the Independence Holiday as being from July 2 to July 8, but many travelers are planning to leave Friday. While holiday weekends typically bring higher gas prices, this year gas prices will fall.
"Industry analysts believe prices at the pump will fall another 5 to 20 cents before the Independence holiday – which is good news for the 35.5 million Americans AAA projects plan to travel by car," said Martha M. Mead, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic.
Gas Prices Down in Northern Virginia, Beach Areas
The current northern Virginia area average is $3.45 for a gallon of regular unleaded, down from an average of $3.80 at this time last year.
Travelers headed to popular area destinations may find gas prices lower than that. The area average in Rehoboth Beach is $3.35 and in Virginia Beach a low $3.27. People headed to the Outer Banks will find a slightly higher average at $3.41 a gallon.
AAA projects 25 percent of travelers will leave Friday for the holiday, making it the largest travel day up until July 4 itself. About 84 percent of all people traveling will go by car. VDOT has prepared for the major flow of traffic, particularly between July 3 and July 5, by lifting lane closures (including those along I-95) to help ease the traffic burden.
"AAA's projection for a decade-high number of Independence Day travelers is being fed by American's appetite for travel, a mid-week holiday and lower gas prices," AAA Travel Services President Bill Sutherland said.
Travelers with a smart phone can download the 'VDOT 511' app which offers a variety of services. It includes real time traffic maps and a 'Reach the Beach' feature, which offers time estimates to different routes to popular beach destinations.
Although gas prices are falling, travelers should be aware of other hazards of summer travel. The coming weekend has projected highs of 100 degrees. AAA released a variety of tips to help avoid car failure in the sweltering heat. Among those tips, it is advised drivers do not run a car's AC continuously in stop-and-go-traffic. It should be given period breaks and space should be left between a driver and the car in front to ensure engines aren't absorbing hot exhaust.

Here's a tip if you're heading to Southeast Virginia or the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Lately I've found taking Highway 460 from Richmond to Chesapeake is much better than dealing with I-64 gridlock. Yes, 460 passes through several small towns — but the gas there usually seems to be cheaper than the state or regional average!
And, of course, try to get out of the DC area before 2 p.m. :)

Orlando plans to spend $9 million in taxpayer money for improvements around Universal Orlando, half of it for a pedestrian bridge that will be used almost exclusively by the theme park's guests.
City leaders say the flyover bridge is needed to keep pedestrians safe. But critics are crying foul, labeling the bridge a giveaway to Universal.
"If it's going to serve Universal, let Universal pick up the tab," said Lou Treadway, a member of the watchdog group CountyWatch and a former Orange County commissioner. "It's not an appropriate use of tax dollars — it's as simple as that."
The plan also includes stormwater improvements, landscaping and signs. The elevated walkway would carry people from a new Universal hotel across a busy road to other property owned by Universal.
It's the path guests at Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort, which is under construction, would take to walk straight to the gate for Universal's Islands of Adventure.
The city would own the bridge, and it would sit in city right-of-way. But in all other respects, it seems to be part of the hotel. Universal representatives asked for it and developed the project budget, the bridge's design and finishes will even match those at theme park, and Universal — not the city — is building it. Orlando will reimburse Universal for the construction costs.
"This is an entity that contributes an awful lot to the city and the state in sales tax dollars," Orlando Economic Development Director Brooke Bonnett said. "It's money, we believe, well spent."
The funds will come from a special taxing district around Universal Orlando called a Community Redevelopment Area. It was formed in 1995 for the sole purpose of building an interchange at Interstate 4 and Universal Boulevard to serve Universal. It still exists because the bonds issued to pay for that work won't be paid off until 2025.
Here's how it works: As the value of Universal-owned property has increased since the taxing district was formed, additional city and county property taxes generated by the greater value were earmarked to pay for the interchange.
But Universal has grown substantially since the taxing district was created in 1995, so the CRA collects about $8.5 million a year in property taxes now. The annual debt payment for the I-4 interchange is about $3 million, so the money left over — currently about $5.5 million a year — is returned to the city and county to spend on general government services such as paving roads, fighting crime and putting out fires.
Last week, however, the City Council amended the CRA to add the $9 million in improvements for the theme park. That will increase the CRA's annual debt payment by about $1 million — money that could otherwise be spent on other city and county services.
Orlando is adding the extra debt even though City Hall must pull a projected $29.5 million from reserves to balance this year's budget.
Universal asked the city for help even as its own business is booming.
The resort's parent company, Comcast Corp., revealed Wednesday that Universal Parks & Resorts generated just less than $1 billion in operating cash flow in 2012, an increase of 9.9 percent from the year before. Universal Orlando is Comcast's largest and most profitable park.
The Orlando resort has been on a record run since 2010, when it opened the enormously popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Even so, city officials say the improvements, including the $4.5 million pedestrian bridge, should go forward. Many I-4 commuters use the Universal exit as a shortcut to Turkey Lake Road and the Dr. Phillips area, Bonnett said, and the theme park's continued expansion creates a dangerous mix of automobiles and pedestrians.
"Will a majority of the pedestrians who are on the bridge be headed to Universal or a hotel? Absolutely," she said. "But what's important to remember is the benefit to the folks in the car who will no longer have to meander around those pedestrians."
Universal Orlando spokesman Tom Schroder agreed and pointed out that the company pumps a lot of tax money into local coffers.
The CRA "is designed to bring economic growth to our community, and our new hotel will bring exponential return on this investment in the form of additional taxes and overall economic contribution," he said.
State law allows cities and counties to create a CRA only to improve an area with "slum or blighted conditions." In the case of the Universal CRA, Orlando officials say the need for transportation improvements created the blight.

The data reports listed here are those filed by the ISC's automated data e-mail capture system. The system was first implemented in October 1999, and many reports were filed manually during the first few months. The listing is nearly complete for reports e-mailed to the ISC since January 2000, but even then missing an occasional, manually filed report.
- REPORTER: The agency code for a data contributor.
- PRODUCT: A string from the data report that describes the type of data.

- LDDATE: The date the description of this report was loaded into the ISC database; generally, the same as the date the e-mail was received at the ISC.
Each Reporter_ID is a link to the file containing the data report. For some agencies, the ISC concatenates multiple reports for a calendar month into a single file.

HDNet Fights Video Vault: Joey Villasenor vs. Jim Wallhead at BAMMA 8
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Jan 12, 2012 at 2:30 pm ET
Aside from a Bellator tournament entry, all of his work has taken place overseas, where he's become one of England's most successful fighters.
But with a slot on the HDNet-televised BAMMA 8 card and a booking with American big-show veteran Joey Villasenor, Wallhead had an opportunity to gain some international recognition back in December.
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight from the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts, slick submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm for this weekly feature.
Wallhead vs. Villsenor is no exception.
In his previous bout, Villasenor (28-9 at the time) snapped a three-fight losing streak and handed Chuck Parmelee a TKO loss at a Jackson's MMA Series event. The bout marked his welterweight debut, and he remained in his new weight class against Wallhead (23-6), a well-rounded competitor who was searching for his 10th win in 11 fights.
Would Villasenor continue his rebound, or would Wallhead claim one of his biggest wins to date?
Check out the embedded clip for the answer.
Each week MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) and HDNet Fights (www.hdnetfights.com) team up for "HDNet Fights Vault," which offer a new and unique video from the organization's ever-growing fight library.

Greetings to all...
i recently got hold of my late grand dad's calumet 4x5, and am terribly interested in 4x5 photography as a whole..
I'm however quite puzzled about the metering process and was wondering if anyone could provide me with any help with regards to metering.... or perhaps direct me to some resources.
1. Where do we meter from? off the subject? in front of the lense? or off the ground glass, and what is the difference?
2. For the bellows compensation where we apply the formula,
"For example: a 210mm or 8" lens with 11" of bellows requires a one stop exposure increase (the difference between f8 and f11)."
Does this mean we increase the F stop from the original F8 (BEFORE THE CALCULATION)to the new F11, or from the original f11 to the New F8?
once again.. thanks to all for the help and reply.. and i'm eagerly looking forward to develop my first set of chromes.

"Terrible design for a good idea"

Comments about Yaktrax, Inc. Sof Sole Performance Lace:
The spring in the locking mechanism is too weak/ small "to lock in place" the locking mechanism. The slightest pressure causes the mechanism to move forward and the tension is lost.

Great idea, bad execution.
By Tara
from RI
I agree with the previous reviewer. The spring in 1 clip broke before I even got it on the shoe. I'm still going to use the laces, just knot them when I get them to the tightness I need.

Don't buy will not hold laces tight!
By Mike
from Minneapolis, MN
The spring clips only hold the laces in place for a short time. The springs and resistance are too low. You can easily slip the lace holder up and down the laces. Needs to have stronger springs and a better grip on the laces. Lost one of them when it fell off after an hour or so of walking. Don't buy this product it is a poor design and not worth the money!!

DIY Project: Pretty Knife Block
Saturday, April 21st, 2012Today's project is a very easy one, since I had to fit it in while Bennett was asleep. I had been eyeballing a project on Pinterest (stalk my pins here!) for quite some time and it seemed easy enough to complete in a very short amount of time. I am all about pops of color and my favorite color, which you would find throughout my home and my wardrobe, is green.
All you need to pretty up your kitchen counter is your regular old knife block, some paint (I used Acrylic because it is what I had on hand, you could easily use spray paint or another if you'd like), a clean damp towel, paint brushes, and a drop cloth (newspaper or plastic would work).
Step one: Take the knives out of the block and wipe down with a damp towel. If you keep the block next to your stove, it is sure to be a little greasy, so use some dish soap if needed.
Step Two: Once your block is dried, get your paint ready. I wanted a more "apple" green than what I had on hand, so I mixed in some yellow and white. Easy as pie and the perfect shade!
Step Three: Paint. Dry. Repeat. I had to do two coats of paint to make the color even all around. Pay special attention not to clog up your knife slots (that sounds dirty! Meow!) or you will end up with random paint stuck on your knives.
Step Four: Once it is completely dry (I waited a few hours), add your knives and Voila! You have a pretty snazzy knife block.
Easy right?
If you tried this DIY project, I'd love to see it and maybe even feature it in an upcoming post!

I'm really not sure what the practical application of this might be. And is it really surprising dogs are able to do this? Their sense of smell has always amazed me. I suppose if science can figure out exactly WHAT dogs are smelling it could lead to earlier detection.
Either way, still darned interesting.

However, not everyone qualifies for immigrant visas. The attorneys of Margaret W. Wong & Assoc. Co., LPA can work hard to get you any of the following:

Ok, this has been bothering me. Are the qestion marks part of his name? I could probaly google the answer but that is what you zombies are for ya?
Thom York"????" kinda looks like it's a maybe lol.
im afraid to flame you because you have a newborn baby as your picture.
Ah. This is why some people avoid the board Jan-April.
Why don't you fags just tell him. holy fuck.
Thom Yorke is playing his solo work, but flea from RHCP will be playing bass and nigel (consistent radiohead producer) will be playing drums (i think) ...that signifies the ???????
?????? is simply there because that "squad" doesn't have a name.
How does one pronounce the question marks in his name?
I thought he was gay?

Coachella Weekend 1, Mt. Eerie Apr 16, Rhye May 10, Bjork June 11, Depeche Mode Oct 2 Atoms For Peace Oct 16
I wonder if they'll be changing the poster to Atoms for Peace ... doesn't have quite the same ticket sales allure.
Thom Yorke's other band-- you know, the one with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Beck/R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, and Flea-- now has a name: Atoms for Peace. The news comes straight from Thom himself via Radiohead's Dead Air Space blog.
(The more you know: Atoms for Peace was the name of a speech and program spearheaded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 50s that set to promote peaceful nuclear energy and aided countries including Iran in their development of atomic power. It's also the name of a track on Yorke's solo bow, The Eraser.)
And, along with a previously announced set at this year's Coachella, the band is plotting a two-week, eight-date tour of some major U.S. cities this April. Flying Lotus will open up the gigs, which are listed below:
Atoms for Peace:
04-05 New York, NY - Roseland Ballroom *
04-06 New York, NY - Roseland Ballroom *
04-08 Boston, MA - Citi Wang Theatre *
04-10 Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom *
04-11 Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom *
04-14 Oakland, CA - Fox Theatre *
04-15 Oakland, CA - Fox Theatre *
04-17 Santa Barbara, CA - Santa Barbara Bowl *
04-18 Indio, CA - Coachella
* with Flying Lotus
man. I thought "Thom Yorke ????" was stupid...
but Atoms for Peace? really?
Yeah Atoms for Peace is a horrible name. They should keep up the Thom Yorke???? thing on the poster to bolster ticket sales
i would have gone with Thom Yorke and The Eraserheads
or The Thom Yorke

- 'The "Target Expression" in the field at the top of the Set Target tab tells Formulize what type of model to search for. By default, the target expression is an equation where y (or, if there's no y, whatever variable is in column A) is modeled as a function of all other variables. To edit the target expression, click on it, then make the desired alterations. Use the special function f(…) to specify the part of the equation that Formulize will attempt to fill in; Formulize will search for the formula f(…) using the variables you put inside the parentheses.'

"Explaining the connection, if any, between simplicity and truth is among the deepest problems facing the philosophy of science, statistics, and machine learning. Say that an efficient truth-finding method minimizes worst-case costs en route to converging to the true answer to a theory choice problem. Let the costs considered include the number of times a false answer is selected, the number of times opinion is reversed, and the times at which the reversals occur. It is demonstrated that (1)always choosing the simplest theory compatible with experience and (2) hanging onto it while it remains simplest is both necessary and sufficient for efficiency."

"A wide variety of machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine (SVM), minimax probability machine (MPM), and Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA), exist for binary classification. The purpose of this paper is to provide a unified classification model that includes the above models through a robust optimization approach. This unified model has several benefits. One is that the extensions and improvements intended for SVM become applicable to MPM and FDA, and vice versa. Another benefit is to provide theoretical results to above learning methods at once by dealing with the unified model. We give a statistical interpretation of the unified classification model and propose a non-convex optimization algorithm that can be applied to non-convex variants of existing learning methods."

"Today's data centers face extreme challenges in providing low latency. However, fair sharing, a principle commonly adopted in current congestion control protocols, is far from optimal for satisfying latency requirements. We propose Preemptive Distributed Quick (PDQ) flow scheduling, a protocol designed to complete flows quickly and meet flow deadlines. PDQ enables flow preemption to approximate a range of scheduling disciplines. For example, PDQ can emulate a shortest job first algorithm to give priority to the short flows by pausing the contending flows. PDQ borrows ideas from centralized scheduling disciplines and implements them in a fully distributed manner, making it scalable to today's data centers. Further, we develop a multipath version of PDQ to exploit path diversity. Through extensive packet-level and flow-level simulation, we demonstrate that PDQ significantly outperforms TCP, RCP and D3 in data center environments. We further show that PDQ is stable, resilient to packet loss, and preserves nearly all its performance gains even given inaccurate flow information."

"Using a large database (~ 215 000 records) of relevant articles, we empirically study the "complex systems" field and its claims to find universal principles applying to systems in general. The study of references shared by the papers allows us to obtain a global point of view on the structure of this highly interdisciplinary field. We show that its overall coherence does not arise from a universal theory but instead from computational techniques and fruitful adaptations of the idea of self-organization to specific systems. We also find that communication between different disciplines goes through specific "trading zones", ie sub-communities that create an interface around specific tools (a DNA microchip) or concepts (a network)."

Man Slips Out of Handcuffs, Tries to Steal DPS Car
By: Joey Hollingsworth
Updated: May 10, 2012
The Texas Department of Public Safety reports that 40-year-old Chris Eugene Durham of Fort Worth flagged down a State Trooper on Interstate 20 just east of Cisco and said his wife was having a heart attack.
The trooper then called for an ambulance, which responded along with the Cisco Police Department and Eastland County Sheriff's Officers, only to find that she was not having a heart attack.
Durham's strange behavior prompted the officers to search his vehicle, where they found drugs and arrested him, according to the report.
The suspect managed to slip out of the handcuffs and begin fighting with officers before jumping into the DPS vehicle and attempting to drive away.
Officers shot out the vehicle's tires, but Durham continued driving until he crashed not far away.
Durham was arrested again, but continued to resist all the way to the Eastland County Jail.
DPS says charges against Durham are pending.

Pollard Family
Library Time is Family Time
When the Pollard family – Mom Melinda, daughter English (12) and son Aiden (10) – moved to Broward a few years ago, they made the library one of their first stops. "We started going to Riverland and fell in love with the YS librarian, Mr. Michael (Bryant)," says Melinda. "He always had something fun going on for the kids. I made the library a hub for my family and our activities."
When "Mr. Michael" moved to Tyrone Bryant Library, the Pollard family followed. "I joined their Friends of the Library because Michael does so much to connect to the community and it's very inspiring," explains Melinda.
For the Pollards, the library is a family affair. As a reading family, they go to pick up books. As a budget-savvy family, they hit the library for the latest free DVDs. Library staff keeps lists of the new DVDs to distribute and even flag down customers to let them know about the latest blockbusters.
But the library isn't just for fun. When Melinda was laid off last spring, she used the library's computers to search for and find a job, taking advantage of quiet and the lack of the distractions found at home.
"Broward County Library is doing a great job," Melinda adds. "The budget may be cut but the services don't diminish."
Historical Commission's Brown Bag Lunch Program
The Broward County Historical Commission's popular Brown Bag Lunch Program picks up after a summer break with two fascinating lecture/presentations. All programs begin at noon and are held in the Historical Commission Building.
Thursday, August 16, author Mary Wachob will discuss her book Myakka Mandate: Courage, Love and Peril of Florida's Pioneer Women. The novel traces the journey of the women and their families who left Georgia to settle in Florida in the mid-1800s and chronicles their adventures and struggles in their new homes in Southwest Florida.
Thursday, September 21, Historian Helen Landers will present a program focusing on Broward County's Hispanic Heritage. All programs are free. Bring your own lunch, cold drinks and coffee will be provided. For more information, call the Historical Commission at 954-357-5553.

Banned Books Week - Celebrate the Freedom to Read!
Since 1982, more than 11,000 books have been challenged, or an attempt has been made to remove or restrict them based on the objections of either an individual or group. In 2011, the top 10 list included titles such as To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; The Hunger Games trilogy, by Suzanne Collins; Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley and the Gossip Girl series, by Cecily Von Ziegesar. Thanks to the commitment of librarians and teachers, parents and students as well as other concerned citizens, very few challenges are successful and most materials remain in public or school libraries.
Banned Books Week, held from September 30 through October 6, is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read.

2. | Beast Mode | ||
When in a state of serious training or at a level of high effort. Animal was going Beast Mode in practice
1. | Beast Mode | ||
October 12, 2006 Urban Word of the Day
A hype, energetic, outgoing, wilding out state of mind. Whenever I hit the bar my mind goes into beast mode.
3. | Beast Mode | ||
From the series Beast Wars. Reverting to Beast Mode was when either Predacons or Maximals transformed into their animals forms. In Beast Mode, they were usually able to move faster and transforming also sped up their internal repairs. Also, in the first season, reverting to Beast Mode protected them from Energon poisoning, which was what happened when they were exposed to too much raw energon. We've been transformed too long! Quickly! Revert to Beast Mode!
4. | Beast Mode | ||
1. Superhuman state of being, in which animal instinct takes over mind and body. 2. From the popular Sega arcade game, Altered Beast, in which the game hero transforms into various beasts with exceptional abilities. 3. Marshawn Lynch touchdown, Seahawks vs. Saints 2011 BEAST MODE!!!
5. | Beast Mode | ||
1.A state of or doing anything accessively and or aggressively; wildin' out
2.Over-do-it "The cops where chasing me down the Ave. so I went into beast mode; jumped over a couple of fences into a few backyards I blew on them and left them 10 blocks behind me."
"After they smoked that ounce of weed, Kelly and Shelly went beast mode on the french fries as a result of having the munchies." "While we were f***in I went beast mode on her p***y!" |
6. | beast mode | ||
Marshawn Lynch, Buffalo Bills beast mode running back. When I saw that woman in the crosswalk, I shifted into beast mode.
7. | Beast Mode | ||
(a) Playing at a level where one physically and mentally dominates their opponents. (b) An attribute of running backs that tend to come from the University of California at Berkeley. "Cal is a beast mode factory."
"Football is a better sport because Marshawn Lynch and Jahvid Best can go into BEAST MODE." |

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – New Rochelle's Khalil Edney had to wait a few moments before his improbable buzzer-beater against arch-rival Mount Vernon made the basketball senior a star.
The referees originally ruled the shot came after the buzzer. But following a brief discussion, Edney's shot was ruled valid, making the basket the game winner and a video that quickly went viral.
The game-winning shot was the lead story on the 8 p.m. ESPN SportsCenter Sunday.
This gave No. 9 New Rochelle a miraculous 61-60 win over the No. 3 seed and seven-time defending champions Sunday at the Westchester County Center.
New Rochelle advances to a state regional semifinal at 4 p.m. Tuesday against Section 4 titlist Binghamton. The Huguenots have now won the Section 1 Class AA football and basketball titles this school year.
"We ran the play where we get the ball to halfcourt, but they were doubling Joe (Clarke)," said Edney, who quarterbacked the football team to the state title. "They got the ball and threw it back to their basket to one of his teammates."
Following his in-bounds pass, Edney raced up the court and jumped in front of the intended pass.
"I had to get the shot off as fast as I could," Edney said.
When Edney's shot swished through, New Rochelle fans rushed the court, but Mount Vernon began celebrating because public announcer Rich Leaf went by the referee's call, initially saying it did not count.
Originally, Edney did not think it would count, even before the initial call was made: "Technically, no because 2.9 seconds is not enough time to do that," Edney said.
It was Edney's first basket of the fourth quarter and it will always be his most memorable.
"That is my first buzzer-beater on a 3-pointer in high school to win a game," Edney said. "Winning a state football title was a great feeling, but this is just as good because of the way it happened."

Passaic, NJ
Overview of Passaic
Located north of Newark on the Passaic River, the charming city of Passaic is one the fastest growing in the state. Named "valley" in the Native American language of Lenape, this city has evolved from a Dutch township into one of the Garden State's most sought-after communities. According to information gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau, this city is a wonderful place to raise a family, and more than 31 percent of the population is younger than 18. 2010 data indicated that the overall population is estimated to be near 70,000.
Living in Passaic, NJ
The history of Passaic dates back more than 300 years to 1678, when Dutch settlers came in and populated the area alongside Lenni Lenape Native Americans. The city steadily grew due to its ideal location near the Passaic River, a perfect source for transporting both goods and travelers. By the 1860s, the village was growing commercially as well as residentially due to its thriving mills and factories.
Passaic has always been an ethnically diverse community since the beginning. After the American Revolution, a mix of western Europeans came to the area seeking religious freedom. In the 19th century, a great wave of immigrants from all over the world came to Passaic in search for work in the city's many factories. The city continued to grow over the years, but remains densely populated with nearly 70,000 residents in an area of 3.25 square miles.
Passaic is also known for its old movie theaters and entertainment history. The city was populated with many vaudeville artists, movie houses and musical acts. Today, the city remains an evolving work in progress with an eye for the future.
Passaic Work and Study
According to the Passaic County website, the major employers in the area include BAE Systems, Drake's bakeries, Maquet Cardiovascular, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center and the United Parcel Service. With a business landscape that prides itself in its variety of job opportunity, this is an ideal location for job-seekers no matter their field. The county has more than 15,000 companies in the small business community as well as large corporations, making Passaic a fantastic place to work, live and play.
Although many students commute to nearby Newark for four-year degrees, Passaic County Community College serves many students seeking two-year degrees and certifications. With educational opportunities in more than 40 fields of study in both traditional and online courses, this is a great college for people from all walks of life.

Rentals in Passaic, NJ and Cost of Living

Brad Pitt Is So Much Happier Now Than He Was Ten Years Ago (Hint, Hint)
Earlier, Lainey posted the cover of Esquire with Brad Pitt on it and now here's some pictures from the inside including my favorite one of him serving up some skinnier, dirtier Kid Rock in a turtleneck madness. A MESS! Since Brad Pitt likes to take pictures, photographer Max Vadukul took pictures of him taking pictures and wearing a turtleneck, because all serious photographers wear turtlenecks.... while taking pictures.
Esquire talked with Brad Pitt after St. Angie Jolie had a double mastectomy and he doesn't really talk about that (since it was still a secret then), but he talks about how he's so happy and so happy and so happy and so happy (translation: he was stoned the entire time).
On how he meets so many people that he can never remember faces (translation: his brain's memory chip is usually fogged up with weed smoke): "So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them. So I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, This year, I'm just going to cop to it and say to people, 'Okay, where did we meet?' But it just got worse. People were more offended. Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I'll say, 'Thank you for helping me.' But I piss more people off. You get this thing, like, 'You're being egotistical. You're being conceited.' But it's a mystery to me, man. I can't grasp a face and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested."
On how he barely has any friends and likes making things: "I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven't known life to be any happier. I'm making things. I just haven't known life to be any happier."
On how he's happiest when the screeches of his child army are filling his ear holes: "I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big. I wanted there to be chaos in the house… there's constant chatter in our house, whether it's giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it. I hate it when they're gone. I hate it. Maybe it's nice to be in a hotel room for a day – 'Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper.' But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life."
On how he decided ten years ago to put down the bong and do something: "I'd get so far and then want to do something else. I mean, I'm two credits short of graduating college. Two credits. All I had to do was write a paper. What kind of guy is that? That guy scares me – the guy who always leaves a little on his plate. For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years fucking off. But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change. This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany – a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what's the point?"
Around ten years ago, Brad Pitt was doing that Troy movie, he was still married to Jennifer Aniston, he didn't have a Maddox in his life and he was suffering while hanging his head over a bong. Brad sort of said the same thing to Parade Magazine a couple of years ago. We get it, Brad. St. Angie's wonderland of a vagine is a bottomless pit of happiness and when he dipped in there, it was like he was skipping on sunshine while hugging a bunch of kittens. Angie's coochie is like Ecstasy, basically. We get it!
And here's more pictures of Brad giving me Willie Nelson meets Kid Rock meets Fabio vibes in Esquire.
In Case You Need More Proof That Taylor Swift Hates Justin Bieber
Taylor Swift displayed her hate for all things Justin Bieber when she did the international sign for "EWWW! Bieber cooties!" by sticking her tongue out while watching him kiss on Selena Gomez. Then later on while talking to the press, Taylor continued to display her hate for all things Justin Bieber when she shooed away a question about him. A reporter asked Taylor what she thinks about Justin Bieber winning the Milestone Award at such a young age. Taylor kept herself from dry heaving and then asked for another question.
I didn't think I liked any side of Taylor Swift, but I do like this anti-Bieber side of her. Yes, the crazed Beliebers will soon break out of their playpens at the mental ward and tear Taylor's scarecrow body apart, but I hope she spits out a whole lot of Beiber hate before that happens.
You know, one of my friends (correction: one my EX-friends) said on IM today that it's obvious that Taylor is being mean to Justin, because she really wants to scissor with him on her pirate canopy bed. That makes sense since Taylor is forever an 8th grader on the inside and she's a big meanie to boys she likes. Then this same friend when way too far when he said that if Nick Jr. was ever going to remake Beverly Hills, 90210, Justin should play Dylan, Taylor should play Kelly Taylor and Selena should play Brenda Walsh. I have never blocked a bitch on IM so fast in my life. It's all fun and games until you compare Selena Gomez to Brenda Walsh. Besides, Justin's way more of an Emily Valentine than a Dylan McKay.
And somewhere in a music studio right now, Tom Cruise is working on an album of songs in hopes that he wins a Billboard Music Award next year, because those trophies look like alien dicks.
You'll Have To Wait Until January Jones' Memoirs Are Released To Find Out Who Her Baby's Father Is
When January Jones got knocked up and wouldn't say who she made a baby with, Merv Griffin Productions almost greenlit the "Who's January Jones' Baby Father?" game show and Maury Povich told friends (no, he didn't) that his career isn't complete until he says "YOU ARE THE FATHER" to the true father of her baby. "Who shot a load of baby batter up into January Jones' ovaries?" became the biggest question since "Who shot JR?" Some guessed Jason Sudeikis, some guessed Bobby Flay and some guessed (and got threatened with a lawsuit for it) Matthew Vaughn. January Jones never said, and in an interview with The New York Times, the iceberg with blond hair says that it's really nobody's business.
"That's my son's business. It's not the public's business.
Jack Nicholson once told me: 'You should never give your personal life away, otherwise people will pick you apart. They'll never believe in your character. Women should have lots of secrets. It's our right to have secrets. Otherwise, what would we write in our memoirs?"
What I'm taking that to mean is that Jack Nicholson is probably the father. What I'm also taking that to mean is that January Jones won't tell us if Jack Nicholson is the father or not until she can't even get cast as a park statue in a Lifetime movie and has to get attention by writing the name of her son's father in her memoirs. Bitch is thinking ahead.

Open Post: Hosted By Prince
The Billboard Music Awards show wasn't totally a lukewarm cesspool of crap music, whiny fetuses and three cent strippers (see: Nicki Minaj). There was some true talent there too. In between Miguel's Janelle Monae-looking ass nearly giving a girl brain damage and Chris Brown summoning the demons with his unremarkable anus face, the dandelion of funk that is Prince sprouted up on stage and the frosted white shadow on his eyelids nearly melted when he brought the sexy in heavy doses.
Jehovah's sexiest witness gave coochies a reason to cream when he puckered up those glossy lips and worked every piece of fringe on the jacket your grandmother donated to the Salvation Army years ago. Lauryn Hill twins made those hos salivate from every orifice last night.
Prince looks like a black Mrs. Roper and he gets crazier by the day, but I still would.
And I think the real reason Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate holidays is because they are too busy celebrating Prince's beauty. That is a good reason!
Beyonce Is Not Knocked Up, So Says Jay-Z
E! confirmed through multiple "sources" last week that Beyonce, Jay-Z and the rest of the world will soon be graced by another infinite holy one of eternal light, because they said a fetus checked into her womb. But apparently, Old Man Ebro of Hot 97 (via Kid Fury) heard straight from the horse's camel's mouth that Beyonce is not pregnant with baby Lavender Flytrap Carter. Old Man Ebro is e-mail friends with Jay-Z and he sent J a congratulatory e-mail a few days ago. Jay-Z responded back with this:
"It's not true. The news is worse than blogs."
The news is worse than the blogs?! That hurts like a hot sauce enema. As a blogger, I've always prided myself on being the absolute worst, so it makes me sad knowing that the head of the Illuminati's New York office thinks the news is trashier than the blogs. I have got to do worser.
Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban Put On A PDA Show At Cannes
If you're still hungover and didn't read the headline, you're probably wondering why I posted a picture from 2004 of Portia De Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres. These two peroxide-haired beauties aren't Portia and Ellen. It's Nicole Kidman and Sun-In's most loyal customer Keith Urban kissing and loving on each other at the Cannes screening of Inside Llewyn Davis over this weekend.
I had to check to see if there's been any recent break-up rumors about these two, because why else would they canoodle on each other like two 15-year-olds whose parents just dropped them off at the school dance. Nicole and Keith's STUNT QUEEN PDA show for the photographers is cute and everything, but I want to scream at them the same thing I wanted to scream at the couple in Olive Garden who sat on the same side of the booth and kissed on each other throughout my entire meal, "You're loved-up grossness is putting me off of these delicious breadsticks."
And if I squint my eyes, Nicole sort of looks like an albino predator who's trying to swallow an angora ferret whole.
Would You Hit It?
Keanu Reeves is 48 years old and he usually looks like an eternally young vampire who's got an aging portrait of himself hanging in an attic somewhere. I'm guessing that Keanu wanted to throw people off of his trail, so he injected fat into his body, wonked his eye up a bit, pumped himself up with gas and got a double chin implant. Keanu walked off of a yacht in Cannes yesterday looking like a middle-aged smoke shop manager who gambled away all his money and now lives under a bench at the beach and spends his days harassing women on the pier. You can't fool us, Keanu! We know you're still an ageless vampire under there.
And I'd hit Keanu circa 1995, Keanu circa 2005 and Keanu circa yesterday.
Bitch Got Booed: The Justin Bieber Edition
While accepting a fan-voted, made-up award at the Billboard Music Awards last night, Justin Bieber continued to jack off his own ego and he told the audience that he should really be taken seriously as an artist. When you have to tell people to take you seriously as an "artist," you probably shouldn't be taken seriously as an "artist." If you tell people to take you seriously as an "artist" while wearing sunglasses indoors and drop crotch leather pants, you definitely should not be taken seriously as anything.
Some hos in the audience agreed and started booing his ass. Surprisingly, the Biebs didn't puff up his chicken hawk chest and threaten to beat up all those haters as his bodyguard held the waist of his leather diaper pants. The Biebs just kept on spewing some ridiculous shit about how he's not a gimmick and is a true artist.
"I'm 19 years old. I think I'm doing a pretty good job. And basically, from my heart, I really just want to say, it should really be about the music, it should be about the craft, the craft that I'm making. This is not a gimmick. I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously, and all this other bull should not be spoken of."
How very Kanye of him.
See, this is what happens when a bunch of grown ups repeatedly kiss the ass of a toddler and never give him some real talk. His ego gets bigger than the oopsie he made in his leather diaper pants and delusion becomes his best friend. The Biebs probably thinks that the money will never stop trickling into his Piggy Bank and he'll keep wasting money on life-sized Hot Wheel cars until he's broke and has to do Cash4Gold commercials. Besides fashion tips, has the Biebs learned nothing from MC Hammer?
But the most disturbing part of Justin Bieber's little speech is that he and Cee-Lo looked like the worst members of the gay leather lovers baseball league.
Taylor Swift's Reaction To Selena And Justin Kissing Is Everybody's Reaction To Selena And Justin Kissing
And now I know what it feels like to actually agree with Taylor Swift. It feels strange and someone might need to hold me.
Taylor Swift was walking backstage at the Billboard Music Awards last night when she caught her best friend 4eva awkwardly cheek kissing Justin Bieber and her reaction spoke for all of us. Since Taylor was dressed up like a damn figure skater, I give her ICK NAST face all 10s! Sticking your tongue out after watching your friend kiss on her douche ex-boyfriend is totally some junior high school shit, but for once I'm not annoyed by the fact that Taylor is an 8th grade mean girl trapped in the body of a squinting ostrich.
It's even better in GIF form and this GIF should go under "Taylor Swift's Greatest Achievement" on her Wikipedia page:
A slow clap and a standing ovation for Tay Tay!
And I made the same exact face when Taylor jumped on stage last night wearing one of Dawn Wiener's outfits.

TVCatchup app available on the Windows Store
TVCatchup is an invaluable tool (with support for UK channels) for any Windows user who watches television and finds themselves frequently checking catchup listings. The app, available for both Windows RT and Windows 8 devices, enables users to watch over 50 live national television channels with an interactive programme guide for details and times.
As a windows app, the developers have taken full advantage of the live tile functionality, which allows the pinning of individual channels to the start screen for direct access. With the interactive guide, TVCatchup delivers a rich experience with upcoming programmes displayed. The view supports snap view, as well as portrait orientation.
If programme management wasn't enough for power users; titles, synopsis, episodes, series categorisation, casts and credits are all displayed.
You can download TVCatchup from the Windows Store for free.

UK only I presume?
sholokov says:
I can't find it in the US store on my Surface.
Chad Chen says:
on your win8 device, go to control panel->region->location and change it to united kingdom, then seach the store again. you will find the app and can install it from there, which i just did. then you can change the location back its original value. no rebooting is required.
revamp says:
I read "Windows Phone Store" in the title, got excited and clicked, only to re-read "Windows Store" :(
ycy198472 says:
The same... I hate it.
Jf.Vigor says:
Yeah is it UK only because for some reason I doubt this is US compatible. Sounds way 2 good to be true. Instant download if it's US
Chad Chen says:

jsnod25 says:
Try accessing it on a UK proxy server...
R0bR says:
Its not a proxy thing, in order to get UK specific apps your live account needs to be a UK account.
schlubadub says:
I don't want to be a dick, but I wish I could filter this type of news out of of the WP app. I'm still not sure why we get so much non-phone news... Afterall it's not "Windows Central" or "Microsoft Central"
ousooner314 says:
As Microsoft starts to unify the ecosystem, we can expect more such articles. To futher add ot it, such stories are also relevant to readers with multiple Windows devices.
Miistercoool says:
Maybe we should request for a future update to have a filter of what kind of news we want such as WP8 only or W8 only or all....I think it's a good idea...anyone agree?
Richard Devine says:
Mobile Nations covers mobile devices, and the Windows RT Tablets are mobile devices. Just as the Android tablets are, and the iPad. It's all mobile :)
vincentw56 says:
Yes, but this is Windows Phone Central, not Windows RT Central. :)
Richard Devine says:
Well...you need to take that one up with Mr Rubino then ;-)
schlubadub says:
Maybe if it was "Windows Mobile Central" haha ;) We also get Xbox news, which isn't mobile or Windows but it is Microsoft
alukard says:
He'll freaking yes. This is as big to is in UK as Hulu coming to Windows RT is to you americans. 50+ live tv channels to watch anywhere you like, and its always been a very good free service.
jabtano says:
Fantastic! Good stuff then
ihavewp8 says:
No use of app if I live in usa
swanny78 says:
Will there be a point where there is a single ms store and whatever is on windows store you can use on tablet and phone? Windows phone apps would get a welcome boost in sure.
LegendaryFOGGY says:
I'm quite happy with the ecosystem type news as I would never have upgraded to windows 8 for only £25 nor would I have known about this app, which is actually very good indeed, if it had not been for wpcentral. Keep up the good work.
ut666 says:
pfff... checks windows phone store... reads article again... shakes fist at wpcentral =)
fraddy says:
Had I bought an Android phone instead of Lumia 800 I could easily download it tonight - you are certainly pushing be further towards Android, Micro$oft!
StaticPlaya says:
They are working on a windows phone 8 version.
PurpleOmen says:
I bloody hope so!! Its one thing i dislike about wp! Hint, make iplayer available!!!!!!!
Tahiti Bob says:
Did you get that info from them?
JohnMaye4 says:
This is a step in the right direction. Still waiting for skygo, iplayer and natwest banking.

News Bites
