Therefore, it permits itself to ban materials that deviate from bound standards of civility. throughout the years, several singles that were seen as too specific, distasteful or bear the potential for offending the British public were banned from BBC airplay.

Kenya Moore Accuses Porsha Stewart Of Being Kordell's 'Beard'
March 10, 2014 05:00 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Last night on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta, Kenya Moore took a break from the usual drama with NeNe Leakes and instead, decided to stick her nose into Porsha Stewart's broken marriage. She wasn't the only one, of course — Peter Thomas actually met with Kordell to dig up dirt on his ex. Will the RHOA cast ever allow Porsha to move on?
As Real Housewives of Atlanta Facebook fans love to point out, Kenya Moore is all about instigating drama. She proved it once again during yesterday's episode, suggesting that Porsha Stewart's marriage had been a complete sham.
It all began with Porsha speaking at length about all the sacrifices she made for Kordell. "I told him that I had a plan for us and that my plan was to be the ideal couple and that whatever was in his past, that was nasty, that hurt him, all those rumors, I would help him erase that."
Kenya tried her best to get Porsha to clarify what "all those rumors" were about, but the reality star refused. Coming to her own conclusions, Kenya exclaimed, "You're saying, 'I signed on to be [Kordell's] beard." By beard, Kenya meant a heterosexual spouse tasked with the burden of refuting rumors related to Kordell's supposed homosexuality. Porsha denied her friend's allegations, explaining, "I respect Kordell. I loved him."
Although she has yet to offer up additional thoughts on Porsha's marriage via Twitter, Kenya did retweet a fan comment accusing Porsha of trying to cover up Kordell's true sexual orientation.
Do you agree with Kenya Moore? Did Porsha Stewart act as Kordell's beard? Sound off in the comments section below!

Kenya and Peter should mind their own business. Kenya can't buy and man and it appears that Peter can't keep a business.He went to see Cordell beacuse they are partners in another club that is not in Atlanta.Peter should be married to Kenya because they are both so lowdown. He does nothing bu go arounnd in ladies business like a B—h like Nene said and embarrass the heck out of Cynthia. Kenya may one day realize that she is not getting any blessings, no man no baby because she is a child of Satan. If I was going to get a couples trip I would have found me a man not a lady man. Can't her Africian suppose to be man come out of the jungle to see her sometimes. We all know, just another fake man. another lie. She
is so pitiful. She cannot compare herself to any of the females, she has nothing going on with any real male, no real money, and is jealous of all of them.She does need Marlo, they are just alike. Nene is about making money, so they can say what they want about her. If Kenya is so fabulous and the world's greatest twirler whay isn't she on DWT? She's phony. If I was Porsha,I grown woman up on her and Peter and tell them to stay out of my business.

Download The Star-Spangled Banner. "The original song: "To Anacreon in Heaven", "The Star-Spangled Banner".. see also: The Music of Early America for more categories.
|The original song: "To Anacreon in Heaven."
|The "Star-Spangled Banner"
The Star-Spangled Banner has its genesis as an English-American hybrid.
The music as we know it today is English in origin. Ralph Tomlinson, president of the Anacreontic Society, a London social club, wrote a poem in 1770 called "To Anacreon in Heaven." A year later John Stafford Smith, an organist and composer set the poem to music.
In 1931 the Congress of the United States enacted legislation that made the song this country's official national anthem. Forty-three years later Francis Scott Key, a poet-lawyer, witnessed the valiant defense of Fort McHenry by American forces during The Battle of Baltimore. One thousand dedicated Americans stopped the British advance on Baltimore, and on September 13, 1814 when he saw the American flag flying over Fort McHenry "by the dawn's early light," Francis Scott Key changed the words of the original tune from England, replacing them with his own. He named it The Star-Spangled Banner.
"My Country 'Tis of Thee"
The music of the song "America" is derived from an old English Air, the original name of which has been lost in antiquity. The tune itself dates back to England, probably during the seventeenth century. It is based on "God Save the King," synonymous with "God Save the Queen." At the beginning of the 19th century it became the British National Anthem.
The words to America were written in Boston by Samuel Francis Smith on July 4, 1832.

Hi there,
I'm not an expert in this but my mum and dad have both DVC and an RCI timeshare.
The problem with the DVC is that like one of you said you have the points for 50 years, now I know you personally aren't goingt to use them all for that time but wouldn't you like to be able to pass this wonderful idea onto your kids to be able to use (that's what my mum and dad wants to do with their RCI timeshare)
The other problem I understand there is with DVC is that the points it costs to stay in places increase but your points don't, so what you could afford one year you might not be able to the next year. I don't think this happens with the RCI points.
My mum and dad mainly bought into the DVC for the DLRP but they have so much hassle trying to book because Paris take ages to release their dates for DVC.
I know the main advantage of the DVC is you get to stay on resort and you get discounts on park tickets etc.
Personally looking at the timeshares my mum and dad have I would probably buy into RCI or another one like this rather than DVC.
To be honest, ever since we became DVC members in 1992, I have not found this to be the case. Actually it was one of the questions that I asked before joining.Originally Posted by Suebeattie, post: 254394
The only time that I`ve noticed that the points cost per stay at any accommodation was increased was when the dates of the various seasons changed ie a certain date could have been in the "Adventure" season one year, but the following year that particular date may have fallen into the "Choice" season.
thanks y'all, but has anybody ever used their points at other Disney resorts around the world? At the risk of being kicked off here...my family likes adventures other than Disney World itself some times. Those are the times where i could actually see it's usefullness.
Jack Sparrow: Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

Secular Pro-Life-Ism: The Non-Religious Pro-Life Point of View
Secular? What exactly does that mean?
Secular means having no religious or spiritual basis. When we use secular arguments, we base our ideas on scientific evidence, moral principles, and human rights.
There are a number of reasons why I Stand for Life presents the pro-life message from a secular point of view. Here are a few that we find important:
Abortion is a human rights violation and should be argued as such.
Secular pro-life-ism is a non-divisive approach, creating common ground for varying belief systems. People of all religions, or lack thereof, can relate.
Science is pro-life. We have factual information and statistics to back up our pro-life views and keep our arguments credible.
Secular pro-life-ism counteracts the common assertion of abortion-rights advocates that we are imposing religious beliefs on other people.
Abortion has been legal in the United States for 40 years, and religious objection will not changed the laws. It's time to oppose abortion with scientific facts.
If you don't agree with us, that's okay. You are always welcome to fight alongside us. We are in this battle together!

Western diplomat says Iran made commitment to Syria to provide Iranian technical assistance to facilitate Syria's chemical warfare program
Ynetnews and Reuters
Published: 10.25.05, 18:54 / Israel News
Ynetnews and Reuters
With the release of the UN International Independent Investigation Commission interim report on 20 October into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri increasing international pressure on Syria, a diplomatic source has said that Damascus is nevertheless
Iran bomb could fuel Middle East arms race
If Iran develops nuclear weapons it could spark a regional arms race because Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt would consider getting atomic bombs, a leading think tank said on Tuesday.
John Chapman, director of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, told a news conference that it was unlikely that diplomatic pressure from the European Union would stop Iran developing its nuclear enrichment program.
He said if Iran ended up with a confirmed, deployed nuclear capability, Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia would "reconsider their positions".
Western nations suspect Iran is developing atomic weapons under cover of a civilian program, although Tehran insists it is intended only for peaceful electricity generation.
The United States and European Union have put diplomatic pressure on Iran to halt its program and are also trying to persuade the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to refer Iran to the United Nations for possible sanctions.
The IISS said in its annual handbook on global military might, "The Military Balance", released on Tuesday that it was unlikely the EU diplomacy would yield results.
However, Chapman said a nuclear Iran was still a long way off so there was time to focus on diplomatic activity.

Orbis Terrarum is a unique fantasy role-playing game set in a richly detailed world shaped by sword, sorcery, history and evolution.
Kickstarter page:
Orbis Terrarum RPG
Facebook page (lots of detail):
Orbis RPG
Orbis KTraq
Right, that's the link ads done! lets talk about who we are and what we're doing.
We (the co-authors) are two long time friends and tabletop-RPG nuts who several years ago decided that "we could write a RPG" that would be better, more.. "well crafted" and true to the "real" way RPGs should be done!
Clearly we were drunk! ..still the sobriety of the next day did nothing to curb our enthusiasm and we thus decided we would make it so.
..So we started with a map! ...and a core idea of wanting a system that had plenty of options for those that liked to tweak every detail, whilst also supporting story-players with tangible 'at-the-time' rewards for good role-playing.
Now several years later we've got a polished & tested system which we think achieves this, and the wonders of the tech-age mean we can hopefully fund a release of this game to our supporters!
Some of you might now that I recently worked up the map of the setting using the skills I've picked up from this most excellent forum.
WIP thread: (http://www.cartographersguild.com/re...ma-v2-wip.html)
Please come and have a look at out Kickstarter page, and if you think its for you then we'd be thrilled to have your support in getting the project launched!

At the helm of Lanco Infratech, Madhusudhan Rao appears set to chart a fresh course for his company, which was set up in 1993 with an initial focus on construction. With 23 subsidiaries across 12 states and a market capitalisation of $4 billion, this Lanco Group company today rides chairman Raos acumen for meeting ambitious business targets in areas as diverse as wind power, finance and development. In an exclusive interview with FEs Kavitha Venkatraman, Rao talks about what Lanco wants to accomplish with its new projects. Excerpts:
What are your plans for the power business?
Lanco Infratech has recently entered the wind power business, both as manufacturer and developer of projects. It is, by and large, the largest vertical of the company. Nearly 500 mw of power projects are already operational and about 7,500 mw of projects are under various stages of implementation. The company is qualified to handle power projects of at least 10,000 mw. We will bid for this over the next six to seven months across India. Besides, as part of a business development initiative, 5,000-mw thermal and hydel projects are under various stages of implementation.
We are going to bid for projects in Uttar Pradesh. These projects will be of about 3,000 mw. Besides, we are qualified to bid for projects in Punjab and Karnataka and an ultra-mega power project in Jharkhand. We are also adding 400 mw to our Lanco Kondapalli Power Project. Construction has begun and the idea is to generate power by 2009. The project will be implemented through balance sheet funding.
Our vision is to have power projects of 15,000 mw up and running by 2015. We are confident of achieving this goal. If five years are considered gestation period for any power project, we will need another 6,000 mw of projects in the next three years. We are positive of achieving that, looking at the number of projects we are qualified for.
In recent years, the company has been laying a lot of emphasis on property development. What are your current projects and how much space are you planning to develop?
In realty, our target is to complete the development of 40 million sq ft of space by 2011-2012. Today, we have a presence across various areas of realty like residential, retail, commercial, entertainment and hospitality. Our largest project under construction is Lanco Hills in Hyderabad. The mega project will have over 30 million

The governments decision to double natural gas price will remain unchanged, oil minister M Veerappa Moily said despite the finance ministry pushing for maintaining old rates for some of the gas of Reliance Industries.
There is no thinking on part of the government for any review or reconsideration of the decision of the CCEA. Let me make it very clear. There is no confusion, there is no vagueness. And I dont think there is scope for any interpretation whatsoever, Moily told a news conference here.
Finance ministry on July 4 wrote to oil ministry asking it to take appropriate action on suggestions made in two media reports for putting a cap up to which rates can be raised, and RIL being forced to sell the quantity it had committed but failed to deliver in past three years at old rate of $4.2.
The office memorandum dated July 4 from the department of expenditure, ministry of finance... has enclosed two editorials of the newspapers and illustrated some of the issues in these editorials. That cannot be taken as objective opinion of ministry of finance. It cannot (also) be considered as query raised by finance ministry, Moily said. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had on June 27 approved pricing of domestic gas at an average of cost of imported LNG into India and international hub rates. The price of gas when this formula comes into effect on April 1 could come to about $8.4 per million British thermal unit. Moily said his ministry had taken opinion of finance ministry twice and it was incorporated in the note.
I dont think there is another interpretation open to it. It has been done after due deliberation and I think it has taken lot of time and once considered view has been taken, we will stick to that, Moily said.

Roger Federer is praying at the temple of Wawrinka today after the pair pulled a huge upset in Beijing.
The Swiss stylist, who was stunned by James Blake in the quarterfinals, and his doubles partner Stanislas Wawrinka ousted the top seeded Bryan brothers 7-6 (6), 6-4 in the Olympics semifinals. The dynamic duo will face the unseeded team of Simon Aspelin and Thomas Johansson for the gold medal.
Fed definitely needed some divine intervention here and it looks like he got some.

Rafa's going for gold and living out Fed's dream season
Rafael Nadal continued his brilliant season today in Beijing.
The incoming no. 1 avenged his recent defeat to Novak Djokovic in Cincinnati knocking out the Serb 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. The Mallorcan Matador will now take on a controversial Fernando Gonzalez for the gold medal while Nole will battle James Blake for the bronze.
Does anyone else think Rafa's living out Roger Federer's dream season? I do, and I also think it'll be a cold day in hell before Fed offers Rafa another free ride on his private plane.
Boo hoo.

THE LOW DOWN: Did James' ball nick Gonzo's stick? You decide.
What really happened during today's Olympic semifinal match between James Blake and Fernando Gonzalez?
James, who lost to Gonzo in a thrilling 4-6, 7-5, 11-9 match, accused the Chilean of unfair play for an incident that occurred in the final set. At 8-9 and with Gonzo serving, James hit a back hand passing shot that landed long but he claimed it ticked the Chilean's racquet. Upon TV review the ball was shown to have clipped the edge of his racquet but Gonzo didn't concede the point.
The 2004 silver medalist doesn't believe the ball touched his racquet telling the press,
I didn't feel anything. I mean, it's just one point. There is an umpire. If I'm 100 percent sure about it, I mean, I will give it. But I'm not sure. James felt, in the spirit of the Games, the Chilean should have conceded the point saying,
I've spoken all week about how much I've enjoyed the Olympic experience, how much I love the spirit of it. That's a disappointing way to exit the tournament, when you not only lose the match, but you lose a little faith in your fellow competitor.I tracked down a YouTube clip of the point in question and around the 2:05 minute mark you can see a close-up of the incident:
Whatever he wants to say is fine. Whatever is going to get him to have some sleep tonight, then that's fine.
Did it clip Gonzo's Babolat stick or is James seeing things? Based on this video and seeing it on TV it looks like the ball did touch his racquet and he would have felt it. C'mon, ballers are so sensitive to their equipment including the slightest changes of tension in their racquets so how did he not feel a ball nick his stick?
I do hope he's telling the truth. Otherwise, it's bad sportsmanship and worse at the Olympics - happy sleeping tonight Gonzo.

McEnroe stays true to form, gets booted from Newport tourney
Unlike a fine wine, some things don't get better with age.
John McEnroe was booted from his opening round match against MaliVai Washington at the Hall of Fame Champions Cup in Newport.
The 49-year old hot head was disputing a line call when he received a code violation for using an obsenity. In typical style, John kept up the arguing and was given two more abuse of official penalties as the crowd began yelling for him to continue play. The tennis legend then offered the fans an obscene gesture as a "thanks for coming."
Apparently MaliVai was the one who gave notice to the officials telling them he wasn't happy with John's tirade:
There are a lot of things I can deal with—disputed line calls, stoppage in play. I have an issue when my opponent starts berating people, fans and umpires. I said something to the official. As players, we are in control of the match. Officials are in charge of the integrity of the game.Ahhh - this story made me nostalgic for some of John's most classic (or is it classless?) moments. Let's take a look:

Rafa + Nole reach semis in Beijing - who'll be gunning for gold?
Here we go again!
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will face each other for the sixth time this season after both ballers won their respective quarterfinal matches at the Olympics today.
Rafa dismissed Austrian Juergen Melzer 6-0, 6-4 in their first meeting and Nole needed three sets to subdue flashy Frenchie Gael Monfils 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
Nole, of course, just defeated Rafa at the Cincinnati Masters after the Spaniard clinched the no. 1 ranking. The winner will be gunning for gold while the loser will battle for bronze.
So who'll come out on top here people? Do tell!

Venus falls to Li, will be flying coach-class back home
Tennis' Olympic Omen was on overdrive today.
Roger + Serena were already shown the Beijing exit door and now Venus Williams can start booking her coach-class ticket home as she likes to do when she loses. The Wimbledon champ was thumped 7-5, 7-5 by homegirl Li Na, who survived despite hitting 12 double faults...that's right people, 12 DOUBLE FAULTS.
V must be kicking herself for not taking her opportunities, but what can you do when you hit 59 unforced errors of your own?
Not...gonna...cut it.

Tennis' Olympic Omen strikes again, Fed + Serena latest victims
Tennis' Olympic Omen has already grabbed the scalps of Andy Murray, David Ferrer, and Nikolay Davydenko on the men's side and Svetlana Kuznetsova on the ladies'. You can now add Roger Federer and Serena Williams to the growing list and end all talk of a Wimbledon sequel (drats!).
Fed's quest for a first medal of any kind at the Olympics came to an abrupt end today when he was shocked by American James Blake 6-4, 7-6 (2) in the quarterfinals. James had only won a single set in their previous eight matches but came up big denying Fed another career goal and continuing the Swiss' misery this season.
I'd say Fed's US Open defense is looking pretty awful right now.
ReRe's quest for her first singles gold medal was stopped cold today by "that" Elena Dementiva. The 8-time Grand Slammer gave up a one set lead and fell to the surging Russian 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in a match that saw a combined 122 unforced errors against 25 winners - ick.
But I guess well all know which Elena came to play today.

SI's Jon Wertheim and TENNIS mag's Steve Tignor can't seem to understand why we should care about tennis in the Olympics.
When a reader asked Wertheim recently if he'll be including an Olympic-size version of his weekly "Tennis Mailbag" he says he's "passing" on the Games. Why? I'll let him explain:
Beijing messes everything up. Injuries are rampant, as players don't have time to recover after the Slams. The Masters Series events are moved two weeks ahead in the calendar. Players are wary of taxing themselves too much before Beijing so we have unfortunate situations such the now-infamous Montreal doubles session. The U.S. Open Series is more or less a fragmented mess, characterized by weak draws. (If this is the "Greatest Road Trip" in sports, maybe we should go on a cruise.)He ends his response by saying, "I suppose we should simply resign ourselves to the unfortunate fact that once every four years, the summer calendar will be a mess." Right, as if the tennis schedule is such a gem normally.
In his ESPN.com blog Tignor whines (and I mean that in the worst sense) that tennis is "diminished by the Olympic surroundings" and the only way its fans (and apparently its mainstream media) can truly appreciate the sport is on its "home turfs" such as Arthur Ashe or Rod Laver Stadium or even Wimbledon's Centre Court (which Tignor believes won't help Olympic tennis when it's played there in 2012 because it won't be called "Wimbledon".)
He ends by saying,
No matter how long tennis remains in the Olympics or how many of the top players compete, "gold medal" will never be synonymous with the sport the way "Grand Slam" is. For that reason alone, we won't need to watch it.P-P-P-lease. Are we so close-minded and self-involved that we can't appreciate the sport in any and all contexts, from the Olympics to a city park? Or is it that the mainstream tennis media feels encroached upon, that "others" are co-opting coverage of the sport they should own??
Maybe that's why they feel the need to render Olympic tennis meaningless and unimportant.

Quote of the Day: Serena on Elena
- Serena Williams on facing Elena Dementieva in the Olympic quarterfinals
I wonder if ReRe is talking about the Elena who stunned her in the Moscow final last year or the one with super powers?
Either way she may be in troubllllle...

Well, well. It looks like Serena Williams has been keeping a secret love from us.
The former no. 1, who survived a fierce 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 battle with up-and-coming Frenchie Alize Cornet in Beijing today, is sporting a heart-shaped tattoo on the nape of her neck.
Hmmm - wonder who that sexy surprise is for? Any guesses??

How badly do you think Roger Federer wanted this win?
The Swiss styist avenged his heartbreaking 2004 Athens loss today defeating Tomas Berdych 6-3, 7-6 (4) to make the quarterfinals in Beijing. Fed's quarterfinal opponent will be American James Blake who defeated Frenchie baller Gilles Simon 6-4, 6-2.
Apparently, he traded his tearful 'o4 cry for an emphatic '08 "Yes!" after hitting a service winner on match point.
This tourney is gettin' good people!

THE LOW DOWN: Could we be headed for a Wimbledon sequel? Maybe so...
Are we headed for a repeat of this year's historic Wimbledon at the Olympics?
It's sure looking good especially if the champs and finalists from that fortnight - Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Venus Williams, Serena Williams - keep their stellar form.
Here are the number of games these ballers have lost through two rounds:
Rafa - 13
Fed - 12
ReRe - 6
Not bad...not bad at all.
Elizabeth Merrill for ESPN.com believes a Rafa-Fed gold medal match could legitimize Olympic tennis in the eyes of its own community and would most certainly pull the sport out from Olympic obscurity:
Federer and Nadal have a unique opportunity this week to help the Olympic cause. If the sport's two most dominant players can advance to Sunday's final, on the heels of their breathtaking match at Wimbledon, it would most certainly be a showcase event in Beijing.
My mouth is watering. And, even though a Venus-Serena gold medal match doesn't garner the same excitement and anticipation, the sisters could reign in three medals themselves since they're also competing in doubles. Nothing to argue about there.
Although it's too early in the tourney to say, I think it could be an incredible moment for the sport of tennis. Let's keep everything crossed.

Like Rafael Nadal and Jelena Jankovic before her, Elena Dementieva was spotted getting crafty with a tennis ball at the Olympic Green Tennis Center in Beijing recently.
Boy, she can't serve worth a lick (watch it) but she sure is talented. I bet she'd give "Marky" Mark Wahlberg a run for his infamous third nipple.
Anyway, I'd love to see Elena's new move battle JJ's "half-moon volley". Who'd come out on top (watch it, again)?

VIDEO VAULT: To the left...to the right...to the left...to the right goes Rafa
Rafael Nadal and coach Uncle Toni are featured in this Nike video shot during his championship run at Wimbledon talking about Rafa's incredible ability to play tennis left handed while doing everything else with his right hand.
The piece shows the incoming no. 1 performing a few moves, including writing and shooting darts, with his right hand and then his left. Which way do you think he performs best? Like, duh.

FASHION FIX: JJ should be milking cows in her Reebok wear
As you know, I usually like to discuss a baller's match before getting to the good stuff. So here's Jelena Jankovic's Beijing first round recap: she won.
Now let's get straight to the point: what the fuck did Reebok give JJ, the new top lady baller, to wear on the biggest stage in sports? Is this their version of a sexed-up Swiss milkmaid or something?? It's an awful, homemade, "sew by numbers" piece of crap.
Phew - needed to get that off my chest! Blogging really is like therapy sometimes...

Becker reportedly engaged to Haas' former girlfriend - did he propose via text message?
Boris Becker is quite the ladies' man, or so he may think.
The 40-year old tennis legend is reportedly engaged to Sandy Meyer-Woelden, the 24-year old daughter of his late manager Axel Meyer-Woelden. She's a former model and also the ex-girlfriend of Tommy Haas. Check it:
Okay - let's do this shall we? Boris conceived his daughter Anna with Angela Ermakova in the broom closet of Nobu London and then late last year dumped his last girlfriend, Sharlely Kerssenberg, a day before his 40th birthday through a text message. Nice touch.
All in all I'd say you have your work cut out for you Sandy. What a catch!

FASHION FIX: Warrior Rafa wears tribal markings in Beijing
Rafael Nadal battled through less than impeccable form to make the second round in Beijing. The incoming world no. 1 needed 3 sets to defeat Potito Starace of Italy 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 and will face Lleyton Hewitt in the second round (DVR alert!).
So when I previewed Rafa's Nike duds for the Olympics I didn't see the back and missed this great design. Check out the interesting graphics on Rafa's shirt - does it remind anyone else of tribal markings or battle scars?
A warrior motif for Rafa - nice touch Nike.

FASHION FIX: Venus still working EleVen - what will become of the collection now?
Venus Williams followed lil' sis Serena's lead and made her way into the second round in Beijing. The Wimbledon champ quickly defeated Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky 6-3, 6-2 and will face Iveta Benesova in the next round.
Now, V is still wearing EleVen by Venus Williams at the Olympics. But I'm wondering what will happen to the collection now that her licensee, Steve & Barry's, has filed for bankruptcy protection?
Apparently, she'll still be paid the $250K owed to her under contract even though the company will be auctioned off later this month. But it'll be tough to keep the collection afloat without a distributor who follows the "cheap chic" philosophy of the line.
Tough luck for V - but maybe Target has some room on their retail floor...

"Olympic Omen" begins taking its toll, Andy + Sveta first to go down
Tennis' Olympic Omen has struck and the upsets have begun in typical style.
Andy Murray became the first high-profile victim falling in the first round to unheralded Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei 7-6, 6-4. I can think of one baller who won't be sad to see Andy get booted: Novak Djokovic. The Serb, who's lost his last two matches to the Brit baller, was in Andy's half of the draw.
This loss, however, could be a mixed blessing for the Cincinnati champ. Andy now has time to prepare for the year's last major where he'll be a favorite to take home his first Grand Slam.
Svetlana Kuznetsova's season continues to stall. The Russian baller was also dumped out of Beijing's first round losing to homegirl Li Na 7-6 (5), 6-4 hitting 6 winners to 46 errors - ugly. This loss isn't as shocking as Andy's since Na's beaten her before in big matches (Wimbledon '06), but this loss won't help Sveta's already lagging confidence.
Unlike Andy's situation, I don't think the extra time off will help Sveta since it'll give her time to think - something she does too much on the court already.

FASHION FIX: Serena wins match + style game with Nike
It took two days to complete because of a rain delay but Serena Williams finally won her first match on her quest towards a gold medal in Beijing. The American crushed Belarus' Olga Govortsova 6-3, 6-1 hitting seven aces in the match.
I'm loving this version of the Nike Women's Doubles Dress that ReRe is working here. Even though it's in the US' red-white-blue the color accents add punch + pop to the dress and aren't overdone here. I could do without the matching red headband and red + white Cages, but it's the Olympics, right?
ReRe wears it all very well.

WEEKEND WINNER: Juan Martin
I'm thinking Juan Martin has realized it feels much better to win than to lose - and he likes it.
The 19-year old won his third consecutive tournament in less than a month defeating Andy Roddick 6-1, 7-6(2) at the Countrywide Classic and entering the top 20 for the first time (world no. 19). He'll surely be one-to-watch in New York and has become a dark horse for the US Open championship with this title.
A great win for the Argentine but another huge setback for A-Rod. The American baller was the sole top-tenner in the draw with the next highest seed being Fernando Verdasco who sits at world no. 13 this week.
Seriously, if he couldn't stroll to this hard court title with the best ballers in Beijing what are his chances at any major from now on?

text: First of all, I'll explain my network setup. My gateway has two network interfaces: eth0 & eth1. eth0 (192.168.1.1) is connected to public network and eth1(10.0.1.1) is connected to LAN. MyServer, which is in the LAN, has ip 10.0.1.2. I created a virtual interface eth0:0 (192.168.1.2) in the gateway. Using ipvsadm, I can route the packets, destined for this IP address and a port, to myServer. And in myServer, I enabled ip_forwarding and assigned 192.168.1.2 for the loopback interface. So my server application receives and serves the packets properly. The problem is in the return path. (Remember the packets have source addres 192.168.1.2). While they reach the gateway, the packets are being dropped. (I think, the reason is nothing but the address 192.168.1.2 is assigned to the gateway. Hence router assumes the packets are traversing though a loop.) I can't use masquerading, because I need to get the source & destination IPs of the packets. Can anyone suggest a way to redirect packets from an interface to another (ie, eth1 to eth0) without making any change in the packet header. PS: The latest versions of netfilter doen't have inbuilt ipt_ROUTE module. Else my life would be cool.

best small space accent
carpet tiles by FLOR
ok small space dwellers, this is a goodie. Since space is spare and custom anything is expensive, I am definitely loving these carpet tiles from FLOR and think they are definitely a best small space accent. how cool are these? You can pick up as many as you need to fit right into whatever size space needs a little floor covering.
When I moved into my new small space, the lovely people at FLOR shared these Shiny Happy striped tiles (love the name!) to help me make my bedroom work. I. love. them. I was able to create the size that I needed in my space and work around the way the room was layed out - which is exactly what I needed. Oh and FLOR is 100% thoughtful about their eco-footprint - click here to read more about their design philosophy.
A super big thank you to FLOR and I still can't get over how many colors + patterns are available. Click here to check 'em all out and for some good mixing and matching ideas and click here to check out the new FLOR blog with tons of lifestyle inspiration.

Yes, Jessica Simpson Is STILL Pregnant & Partying in Palm SpringsSunny Chanel
You'd think that her baby would want to get out by now, but the very, very pregnant Jessica Simpson is, yes, still very much pregnant. Apparently she still has some time left baking that bun in her oven, enough so that she could leave her home base (where her OBGYN is) of Los Angeles and trek out to Palm Springs for the weekend.
Her pals actress Lauren Zelman and actor Bret Harrison are getting married and Jessica and her husband Eric attended their rehearsal dinner at Las Casuelas Nuevas Mexican restaurant in Palm Springs. Along with Jessica, her sister Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend Vincent Piazza and Jessica's BFF Cacee Cobb and her fiancee Donald Faison (of Scrubs fame).
Going to a destination wedding, even though it wasn't that far away, just proves Jessica has some time left in her pregnancy. The mom to be wore a bright green very large muumuu to the dinner, and yes, I'm sure that jolly green giant jokes will be forthcoming from someone but not me.

Death in the Clouds by Agatha Christie
Book Description
High-flying mystery and suspense via Christie and Poirot!
Reader Reviews
fun ride but she's done better, January 10, 2003 Reviewer: JR from New York Aggie starts off the story with a bang (a memorable, highly charged murder location) then sort of finishes it off with some rather silly, almost implausible resolutions to back it up. Only the very astute reader could possibley figure out "who dun it", but at least, you won't be bored. This reminded me of her later work The Clocks, which also had an effective beginning and got even more complicated than it needed to by the time it was over. To make up for its flaws, Christie does, however, put characters together you really wouldn't think would get together. She always was brilliant playing with audience expectations. PS: Even if you can't see the killer before Poirot does, you may pick up on a few clues in the same clever way, so the story isn't a total bust.

The year 2012 marks our 27th successful season on the Bay. Also of note, we have been voted as a "Best of the Bay" by Chesapeake Bay Magazine. Further, we are the only multi-vessel charter service on the Bay to have consistently and successfully specialized in chartering trawlers, or, as we like to call them, our "little ships." For all of our vessels, there are discounts for repeat clients. Further, the longer the charter is, then the lower the per diem rate. Please keep in mind that most of our vessels come equipped with a generator and all of our units have air conditioning. Our five trawlers are owned by us. All of the other multi-vessel charter companies on the Bay, to the best of our knowledge, manage other people's boats. We know a lot about our trawlers, including how to operate and maintain them.
Many people ask themselves about the advantages of chartering over buying. We think there are many. It is said that the two happiest days in boaters' lives are the day they purchase their boat and the day that they sell it. It is also said that, once the new boat owner gets past the "honeymoon" phase of ownership, the average boat is only used 15 days a year during a boating season like the one that exists in the Chesapeake Bay region and the rest of the Northern United States. Granted there are always exceptions to the two previous statements. Without getting into all of the details here, one must remember that the acquisition costs associated with boat ownership are only one collective entry in the "spread sheet". One must also plug at least some of the following: cost of money (whether it be loan interest or potential investment return on the cash used for the purchase), depreciation, insurance, home-port dock fees, preventive maintenance, repairs, winterization, dry storage, normal upkeep, including washing, waxing, and bright work, and periodic repacements and upgrades, especially electronic. There are certain intangibles as well, especially with regard to the time required to manage your floating asset and to work on her yourself, as well as the time needed to get to and from your home to the vessel's berth (a backyard slip would be great!). Another example of an intangible would be flexibility, or lack thereof. Suppose you want to cruise in the Northwest. Your boat is in the Chesapeake. Guess what? You charter. There are certain other considerations as well, that is when you charter with a reliable company. You will be immediately linking yourself to a fully experienced support mechanism for the duration of your cruise, - familiarization, training, float planning, trouble-shooting, problem solving (It's a boat!), etc. Further, when the charter is over, you get to walk away, leaving the vessel to the charter company's cleaning pixies, engine room elves, and the various other boat fairies required to keep the boat in good operating condition. Very often, these underpinnings are transparent to the client who has just experienced a successful charter aboard one of our trawlers. We realize there are other considerations, both pro and con, and we merely provide the foregoing as food for thought.
We at Blue Goose pride ourselves on providing outstanding service with proven
reliability, an excellent safety record, and responsive scheduling, specifically tailored
to fit your needs. If you do decide to charter with us, you will find that we try harder
than any other charter service on the Bay. In fact, we doubt that you will find any
service comparable to us with regard to cost versus quality, reliability, responsiveness
and attention to detail. We have slowly and steadily built up an extended family of repeat
clients over the years. We welcome and encourage you to join this highly satisfied group!
We are certain that you will be happy with our proven operation, and hope to hear from you
soon. Once we initiate the actual booking process, we assure you that you will receive
individual, personalized service. So please contact us again at your earliest convenience.
Thank you!
Our small fleet consists solely of carefully maintained, economical, diesel powered vessels, operating at full displacement speeds. They range upwards in size from 27 feet, and normally cruise between 6 and 7 knots. We do NOT operate sailboats. If you find other vessels similar to ours in size but at less cost, and we sincerely doubt that you will, please closely examine the amenities, including power plant, generator, and air conditioning, when comparing prices. The fuel savings, reliability, and safety afforded by our diesels should not be overlooked either, nor should our truly excellent preventive maintenance program. (Fuel should run less than $9.00 per hour of underway operation for our larger single-screw trawlers.) Also, please don't forget that, although we are small, we care! You will never get lost in the shuffle. Our boats are older, but you can be assured that they will be clean, safe and highly reliable. Especially with trawlers, newer and younger does not always mean better, as most of you know from other applications in life. They come fully equipped - complete with linens, towels, and utensils. We even allow early boarding the night before the charter, and the option of remaining on board in home port on the final night, at no additional charge.
Our operation should be viewed as one that gets down to the basics. Our vessels are older, classic boats, none of which are still made. Our capital investment is totally under control since all of our trawlers are paid for. This results in much lower prices for the client. We spend our operating funds on maintenance and upkeep, and not on bank payments and commissions. If you are looking for a glitzy, highly starched, spiffy operation, filled with fast-talking salespeople and high powered marketing, you will have to look elsewhere. We believe that the act of boating and the journey associated with this endeavor, represent the essence of real boating. To us, successful docking without a bow thruster represents the pinnacle of trawlering. We are endeavoring to maintain an older lifestyle, both for ourselves and our clients, that concentrates on the essentials of boating, - getting out on the water and enjoying the interaction with nature, picturesque ports-of-call, and the world-renowned Chesapeake Bay life-style. If a gleaming, brand-new boat, loaded with complicated electronics and fancy gizmos is what you are seeking, we are not it. If you want a computer between you and every essential function on your boat, including the engine, the transmission, the helm, and the navigation system, our fleet is not the answer. If you enjoy the old-fashioned art of manual steering using the mark-one eyeball, compass, depth finder, and paper charts, aboard a well-found, comfortable, classic trawler, in one of the best cruising areas on the planet, please charter with us. (OK, we will let you use one of our GPSs, if you must.) We believe that keeping things simple, and forcing one's self to slow down from our society's hectic pace, should remain two of the more important objectives of a trawler vacation. We do not subscribe to the growing trend in the boating market. It is one that places an over-emphasis on the super-material comforts and automatic capabilities associated with a $500,000.00 plus boat, in an effort to create "instant mariners" by simply throwing large amounts of money at the gratification process. Step back. Slow down. Learn the basics. Keep it simple. Experience the joy associated with a successful docking, or a safe arrival using traditional navigating, piloting, and helmsman techniques. If you can view the boat as a means to an end and not an end unto itself, give us a call. If you can appreciate that the journey on the water is as much a part of your cruise as your arrival at a destination, please think about chartering with us. We can help you. Please consider the following. It has been extracted from "The Doctor", found in the "Sea Stories" portion of the "Nautical Info" section of this site.
We believe that trawlering is a serious
The pleasure associated with this activity comes through preparation,
knowledge, and, most importantly, the application thereof. The
ability to convert information into proper action is the key to
this endeavor and the enjoyment associated therewith.
The following quote is very pertinent.
"It was one
thing to think, and plan, and direct,
to say, 'Do this!' or 'Go There!'
And it was quite another to have success
dependent upon the cunning of his own fingers
and the straightness of his own eye".
Now a full-blown navy captain, but faced with
performing critical manual tasks himself, aboard a small,
undermanned sailing rig, during an escape from the enemy.
The Blue Goose operation is based out of Baltimore Harbor in the historic Canton section. Please refer to the "Directions" on the left of this page under the "Index". But please make an appointment before you come to see us. We will be most happy to provide additional directions, as necessary, if you plan on driving to our location. Guaranteed off-street parking is available for our current charter clients but not always for other visitors. Those clients who choose to arrive by air at Baltimore Washington International Airport will be met and transported to our Baltimore Harbor location at no charge. Clients are then returned to the airport at the conclusion of the charter- again, at no charge.
At Blue Goose, we specialize in bareboat trawler charters and trawler related operational training and transition. Our bareboat vessels are operated either by an experienced or properly trained client, or by a qualified helmsman directly hired by the client. We believe that a bareboat charter captained by a client requires either an extensive amount of experience on the part of the client, or specifically tailored training provided by us. Your ability to handle the vessel of your choice should be predetermined by you. A comprehensive underway checkout, including docking, is part of our pre-charter process for first-time clients. Over 25 years of hands-on experience has shown that this process should take about three and one half hours. The checkout is normally offered at no charge to experienced clients.
If and when necessary, we can provide specific, individualized, training for an additional fee at our Baltimore location. This special training package would be separate from and more intensive than that normally associated with a standard checkout. Rates will vary, depending upon the type of training required and the vessel selected. Typically, our tailored training packages last between one and two days. Sometimes the training extends into the third or fourth day to cover any loose ends. Normally, this special training is then combined with a follow-on bareboat charter cruise, assuming the clients acquire and demonstrate the requisite skill and knowledge. Usually, there is a four-day minimum for the combined training and follow-on bareboat cruise. The primary objective of our training effort is to enable a client to successfully and independently operate one of our diesel trawlers in a safe and confident manner. The secondary objective is to enable a client to establish a sufficient information base upon which to enhance and refine his or her trawler related knowledge and skills, after the training is completed. The third objective is to establish a mutually beneficial and supportive relationship between the client and Blue Goose when it comes to trawlers. Of additional interest, Blue Goose specializes in training women, either as helmsmen or crew, depending on their preference. Safety and confidence building are our top priorities. There are no formal classroom sessions. Normally, all of the training is conducted on the boat, on the pier, or on the water, sometime during the period mid-May through mid-October. The content of the instruction is tailored to the individual needs of the client. For more information, please visit Trawler School.

I thought that was an interesting side by side. For example, in the first second, doesn't he say, either, "Hi", or "I-I drive a cab"
And the subtitles skip "This is me"
Both captions ands subtitles skip "You" in "You take it. Go ahead", and the Subtitles skip "Go ahead".
None of these things actually impact the movie, like the skipping of the long name, but seem oddly absent. Probably just human error – lack of time and easy to overlook on a long project.
But I imagine that captioning the name, one would have had to have some access to that information – It's not in IMDb under character names, just under quotes.
Great post. I absolutely agree, both that different people (working independently) produced each track, and that both should have been verbatim. This clip reminded me of when I had to caption Barbarella, in which the word "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" was used as a password. I'd seen it in print but had never heard it spoken before, so I initially assumed they were using a word that they'd made up specifically for the movie and transcribed it "Panfirepufkingithgolgerechcandithinalgolgolgoth". But when I went on Barbarella's IMDB page to check something else, the line was mentioned under "memorable quotes", so I was able to go back and correct the captioning transcript before sending it out.
It would not surprise me at all if the captioning track was directly copied from the VHS release, while the subtitle track was newly authored for the DVD. This is something that I've seen on a number of other releases for movies and TV series that predate the DVD format– where errors from the captioning on the original VHS release or TV airing were preserved in the DVD release's Line 21 captions but not in its subtitles.
