Honolulu sets Sept. 18 date for mayoral election
By Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) Honolulu voters will decide on their next mayor Sept. 18, the same day as the statewide primary election.
The Honolulu City Council voted 5-2 Thursday to hold the election in September rather than wait until the Nov. 2 general election.
The two candidates for mayor who sit on the council, Donovan Dela Cruz and Rod Tam, recused themselves from the vote.
The winner-take-all race will determine who will serve the remaining two years of former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann's term. Hannemann resigned to run for governor Tuesday.
Besides Dela Cruz and Tam, other likely candidates include acting Mayor Kirk Caldwell, Prosecuting Attorney Peter Carlisle and engineering professor Panos Prevedouros.

Let's all drop by and give Whitney and Bobby a nice rum cake. The wonders of Google Maps bring us more celebrity homes.
Whitney Houston Lives Here
According to this, Elijah Wood and Mickey Rourke live together. Sweet.
She may live there as well, but for the most part her and Bobby live outside of Atlanta. I know someone who has been by "the house" I'll see if I can find it out.
Brad Pitt lives with Mickey and Elijah too. How cozy!
Uh, no… Whitney lives in Atlanta.
Some of these celebs are dead.
Quite a few celebs live near me, my dad is a mailman in Franklin Lakes, NJ where a few of them live.
These are business adresses (manager or lawyers) or are bogus….I dont think Tom Cruise lives in an office park.
It is possible that she has a place in Ft.Lee because she was originally from NJ, I'm sure she still has family here and needs somewhere to stay when she's up here. I also heard that she lives mostly in GA.
As for Ft.Lee for you non-Jersey/NY people it's right on the Hudson River with an amazing view of the NY City skyline and if you live in a building with a view you can pay a few million.
Yeah. All of these addresses are for their agencies/managers/publicists offices. The one on the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica is CAA.
This address is not for Whitney Houston's home in NJ. She does have an estate in New Jersey but it is located in Mendham Township.
Whitney and Bobby's primary residence is in Alpharetta GA in a community called the Country Club of the South. This is the most beautiful community that I have ever been in and it is home to such celebrities as Whitney and Bobby, Usher, Bow Wow, etc. They have a gorgeous home there.
They also have a condo in Miami.
The address listed is for Addecco Employment Services.

Wait, was the word Mountain mentioned in the last sentence? You bet your bike riding ass it was. This bike can CLIMB all over MOUNTAINS and ****. No joke, it seriously is a mountain bike. The bike has twist shifters for when you want to twist your gears into...OVERDRIVE! I said gears that's right. This bike comes with 3 gears in the front and 8 gears in the back. YOU DO THE MATH ON THAT! Ok I just used my calculator and it comes out to 24. This bike has over 24 different hauling ass speeds. Not even your car has that!

Royal Baby: Prince Charles Reveals What Prince George Will Call Him
Prince Charles recently talked about the adorable nickname he'll be calling Kate Middleton and Prince William's newborn son George — it's Georgie! — and now the new grandpa is revealing what little Georgie will call him.
At the Sandringham Flower Show, the Prince of Wales told some people in the crowd that he would like to be called "grandpa" by Prince Georgie, instead of "granddad," a moniker he doesn't care for. The proud grandfather also joked with the crowd, saying, "I think I'm going to have to go on a babysitting course as it's a while since I have done this sort of thing."
He seems to be embracing his grandparent duties already — the Palace tweeted this shot of him getting a tiny, little shirt for Prince George while he was conducting his royal duties in Whitstable.
When someone asked Charles' wife Camilla, who accompanied him to the flower show, what she'll be called by the royal baby, she said that the family 'hadn't decided for certain,' but the Duchess of Cornwall told the Daily Mail that 'GaGa' is what her own grandchildren call her. "I don't know if it's because they think I am, but it is still very sweet," Camilla said.

WASHINGTON (February 27, 2014) – American Chemistry Council (ACC) President & CEO Cal Dooley issued the following statement in response to Congressman John Shimkus' release of a discussion draft of the Chemicals in Commerce Act of 2014, a bill to update the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
"We applaud Chairman Shimkus' commitment to creating a more effective chemical regulatory system and welcome the draft Chemicals in Commerce Act of 2014. The release of this discussion draft is another positive development that adds to the growing effort in Congress—including the bipartisan Chemical Safety Improvement Act (CSIA) pending in the Senate—to reform our nation's primary chemical management law. The balanced approach taken in the draft Chemicals in Commerce Act will provide Americans with more confidence in the safety of chemicals, while at the same time encouraging innovation, economic growth and job creation by U.S. manufacturers."
"Through multiple hearings over the last year, Chairman Shimkus and the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy have demonstrated their strong willingness to listen to the views of a broad cross-section of stakeholders and to learn more about what's needed to successfully update TSCA.
"Updating TSCA is critical for our industry; one that creates the building blocks for 96 percent of all manufactured goods, playing a fundamental role in every facet of national commerce and the U.S. economy. We are committed to working with members of the committee to move toward a formal introduction of a balanced, comprehensive, bipartisan bill that can win approval in the House. This legislation, along with the compromise CSIA crafted by the late Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Senator David Vitter (R-LA) and supported by 25 bipartisan cosponsors, will enhance the lives of American families and the success of America's economy."

GLASGOW, Scotland, July 23. CHAD Le Clos had set himself up for a monstrously difficult schedule at the Commonwealth Games, qualifying for seven individual events in the competition. But the South African has removed three events from the schedule, according to the start lists published today.
With the first day of racing set for tomorrow in the Scottish capital, Le Clos has removed the 400 IM, 200 back and 200 free from his program. He is still set for the potential of a gold medal sweep in the three butterfly events (50, 100 and 200), and he is a strong medal candidate in the 200 IM. Though names have not been released, Le Clos is likely to be a part of all three of South Africa's relays (400 free, 400 medley, 800 free).
Le Clos won the 400 IM at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, one of two events he won at the meet along with the 200 fly. That was his international breakout meet and set him up for what would be one of the most-discussed races at the 2012 Olympics. He won the 200 fly in London over defending champion Michael Phelps, robbing The Greatest Of All Time of the distinction of winning that event at three consecutive Olympics. Le Clos also swam the 400 IM at the 2012 Olympics, finishing fifth.
Dropping the 200 free and 400 IM makes sense for Le Clos. Those two events will take place on the same day (July 25) and will also conflict with the final of the 50 butterfly and the 400 free relay. Had Le Clos kept the 200 free and 400 IM on his schedule, he would have potentially raced in four finals on that day.
As for the 200 backstroke, it falls on the same day as the 100 fly final. Le Clos had a slim chance of winning a medal there, with three Australians ahead of him in the world rankings.
South Africa will not be replacing Le Clos in either of the three events he scratched. Of those three events, the 400 IM still remains an event in which South Africa can win a medal. Sebastien Rousseau is looking to get his first Commonwealth medal with a strong swim in the longer medley.
Jazz Carlin did not swim the 200 free at either event that Wales used to select swimmers for the Commonwealth Games, and that event wasn't listed as one of her races when Wales released the names of swimmers on the team. But she's entered in the 200 free in Glasgow in hopes of defending or improving on the silver medal she won at the 2010 Commonwealths. Carlin is also entered in the 400 free and 800 free, two races in which she comes in as a strong gold medal favorite.
Adam Brown and Liam Tancock will also get to swim individual events despite not meeting the selection times for England's team. When England released the names of swimmers on its squad, the events each athlete qualified for were not listed. But the entry lists revealed that Brown is set for the 50 free and 100 free, while Tancock is in line for defense of his 50 and 100 backstroke titles.

I like the One Way, but the new colour sucks. Get an old one in the British racing green
i love my creamroller!
how can the one way be beat?
how versatile is the one way? Like could it be used in cyclocross? lol I want to build up a touring bike but I want to try cyclocross one day. originally I was thinking about the chrome jury but the one way is built pretty much how I would do the jury. except I can't find the brg anymore
I like the One Way.
Not sure how far you are from Plano, Tx but if this bike is in your size it would be worth checking out.
Last edited by exhumed; 06-18-09 at 02:01 PM.
I'm biased, because I own a Steamroller, but I also like cool, smaller bike companies, so Surly gets my vote. But they're all fine bikes for your purposes.
bryyando - don't know about the Raleigh's, but the Steamroller can fit 38's no problem.
i love my one way, it comes stock as a perfect commuter. im not sure how large you can take it with tires, but it comes with 700x35 and there is a TON of space left.
i definitely do wish i had the british racing green one though. i waited a little too long to pull the trigger on it.
Last edited by Cy Trivialities; 06-18-09 at 06:05 PM.
no they come with vittoria randonneur cross 700x35, and have room to go bigger.
Nope. They come with 35s.
of these three, the rush hour sticks out. It's more Tarck than anything else, especially the 09, with the whole red anodized thing going on.
It really comes down to whether you prefer calliper or cantilever brakes. The steamroller has some insane clearance, but no braze-ons (which make mounting racks and fenders difficult). It also requires long reach brakes, which I think look a little funny.
The One-Way has cantilever brakes, the more traditional choice for a bike with wide tires, it also has a full compliment of braze-ons, making it the more obvious choice for touring.
Either one should take the wider tires prefered for touring, but the one-way is more natural at it. Then again, you can build up a steamroller to be all your own, and there is something to be said for that.
It's your choice, as long as you don't choose the rush hour.
Ride safe - Ride fast
does it rain where/when you ride? one way.
do you want to fit big tires? not the rush hour.
do you want the bike to look cool? the rush hour.
basically, i think the steamroller is far more pedestrian than the raleigh offerings- they have their **** together in the design department.
that said, the steamroller is probably the most versatile of all the options and it's likely the same value.
i'd get the rush hour but that's simply because i ****ing love how it looks.

Movie Remakes to Check Out

From Page to Screen
If you are in middle or high school right now, most likely your favorite television show or movie has not been remade yet in your lifetime, but it will happen. Someday, there may be a television version of Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Twilight will be remade. (I doubt anyone will ever attempt Harry Potter again but who knows in sixty years?)
I enjoy remakes if the original material was a book or play. Good directors and writers find new ways to interpret novels and plays, which adds to my understanding of the original work. Here's a list of some remakes I've enjoyed and some that are coming out to theaters soon.
Yes, Batman counts! Batman originated in 1939 in Detective Comics (thanks Wikipedia!). I grew up with the cheesy television version, which I loved. The 1989 movie Batman with Michael Keaton impressed me, but the sequels became louder and messier and lacked heart. Then came Batman Begins with the unlikely Christian Bale as Batman. Director Christopher Nolan set a serious tone but had enough quality action sequences to keep the film moving.
Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre delighted me as a teen and I hunted out all movie versions. The Orson Welles version was odd. (That wasn't my Rochester and Jane was too pretty.) The 1980s version with Timothy Dalton hits all the right romantic notes except Jane looks about thirty. (She's 19 in the books.) Then came the 2007 version starring Ruth Wilson, which is pretty much perfection in my opinion and makes the recent feature film starring Michael Fassbender unnecessary. If you watch all of these, please note how the house always looks the same except for the Orson Welles version because he filmed in Hollywood.
Much Ado About Nothing
I wish high schools assigned this Shakespeare play more because it's a great blend of humor and near tragedy. The play centers on a battle of wits between Beatrice and Benedict who clearly love each other but won't admit it until their friends pull a prank on them. Kenneth Branagh made a sunny, warm-hearted version starring Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves (yeah, he sort of butchered the Shakespeare), and Denzel Washington. Now my favorite writer/director Joss Whedon has made his own version starring actors from his various television shows over the years. It's been getting good reviews and I'm excited to see how he updates the play for a 21st-century audience.
This Stephen King novel has inspired two feature films, one television movie, and even a Broadway musical. Carrie is about a sixteen-year old girl with a controlling mother, who gets bullied at school, and is the victim of a terrible prank at her prom. John Travolta and Sissy Spacek were in the original 1976 version, which is quite bloody in very unsettling ways, but the bell-bottom jeans make the movie feel dated. This year, we get a shiny new version starring Julianne Moore as the mother and Chloe Grace-Moretz as Carrie. Even more promising, the director is Kimberly Peirce, who makes small, smart films. Carrie is definitely a horror story, but it's one about being grounded by a suffocating mother, being too shy to speak up for yourself, and generally going through life feeling like a loser until you get mad enough to really lose it. It's about a girl's anger unleashed and Chloe Grace-Moretz should deliver. Did you see her in Kick-Ass?
Bruce Timm produced a series of well-done animated Superman movies. Animation is probably the best way to experience Superman, but live action seems to be more popular. Superman Returns had a great Lex Luthor in it played by Kevin Spacey. And now, we get a grittier Superman with this year's Man of Steel, but I hope the film won't be as serious as Batman is. I like my Superman optimistic and my Batman cynical and grim; they balance each other.

I've never seen Avatar
But you do bring up a whole new avenue of versions--Japanese mangas are often made into animes and then into live action films. Here's hoping for a live action Fruits Basket! Hee.
There's also the movie
There's also the movie adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender! I really enjoyed the television series, but, sad to say, I couldn't stand the movie adaptation. But it exists! And I wonder if there's a Justice League movie in the works to counter the Avengers. Since we've already got Batman, Superman, and the Green Lantern! (Any others I'm forgetting?)

I'm just wondering----is it just the size of the opening in the top that determines what it is or is it simply what the turner chooses to call it?

Well we call them bowls and hollow vessels but ceramics people call them bowls and jars. What shape does it have to be to fall into the Vase category. Could you call it an Occasional Vessel. Also when does a plate become a platter. How about candlestick vs candleholder.
When you can no longer get a straw in the opening to suck out the soup, you have a hollow form. Page 31 chapter 11 of the bowl turners rule book!Originally Posted by Stoppy
Elbert Hubbard said "To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing"
Jake - WNYWoodturners-II Pro-AAW
I have heard that this is intentionally vague by woodturners so as not to inhibit artistic creativity. The main thing is the opening is smaller than the largest diameter of the vessel. Thats about it from what I can gather.
Well I guess you could say semi-hollow form. I do a lot of those. For me a hollow form is any vessel, vase, bowl or otherwise that you cannot make the turn or curve with a regular gouge. Now you can take a segmented urn say and turn out the inside before capping with a lid and a small opening. Now what do you have? Whew! GT
Sounds like you have a fake hollow form. haha. I would assume you have to clean the inside out THROUGH that opening that is smaller than the largest outside diameter. But actually, who knows?
I believe that the term "hollow form" is a broad term that would encompass (OK, shoot me) bowls. My made-up rationale is based upon the idea that the inside of a bowl is "hollowed out". Trying to come up with a "legal" definition can only lead to grief when someone eventually creates something that requires further clarification. The end result might be something that looks a lot like the NFL rule book.
Mostly artistic pretense/license. Wooden objects with a use are easily compared to their non-wood analog. After that, you have to come up with something that sounds good. Hollow is descriptive, but a vase or bowl has nothing in the middle either, and all things have form, so that fits as well.
So it's a term that describes nothing by describing everything. Almost like the titles the politicians put on bills they sponsor. Sound and fury.
Stand clear, rest near, and cut the wood as it wishes to be cut.
Bowl = Rim open to largest diameter as someone else said
Dish = very shallow bowl, small
Platter is a very shallow bowl, big
Openform = Opening larger than the base but smaller than the maxiumum diameter.
Hollowform = opening equal or smaller than the base and significantly less than the max diameter
Pot = Height equals diameter and opening is equal or close to max diameter, just kind of square in porportion
Vase = significantly taller than the max diameter and opening is equal or close to the diameter of the top of the vessel.
Urn = Vase like in hieght or porportion but fits hollowform defintion
Box = has lid that fits fairly tightly, small
Lidded vessel = openform, pot or vase with a lid, bigger than a box, lid fits rather loosely
Art = A woodturned item priced proudly
Craft = A woodturned item priced modestly
Junk = a turning currently in flight accross the shop, ie. 'Houston we have a problem'
That was fun.
You missed one, Frank. A dammit = An almost finished piece in which the inside is suddenly larger than the outside in either width or depth.

Hartford — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Friday morning that he would be running for governor again with Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman as his running mate, setting up a potential rematch with Republican Tom Foley.
"Nancy and I have talked about the race and we both reached a mutual conclusion that we should go to the people of the state of Connecticut and ask them for their support to continue the work that we have been undertaking in the last 3.6 years," Malloy said.
Within minutes of his announcement, Malloy sent out an email requesting support with a subject line that read, "I'm in."
Malloy beat Foley in the 2010 election by one-half of one percentage point, and a March 6 Quinnipiac University poll showed them tied with 42 percent.
After weeks of saying he hadn't yet made up his mind, Malloy announced his candidacy at the end of a 15-minute press conference after the State Bond Commission allocated $445 million in bonds. A reporter asked him whether he was running for governor again based on his discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" television program that morning in which he responded to re-election questions. Malloy delayed answering the question until the end of the press conference.
"I am announcing we intend to be around for a while," Malloy said.
Now that Malloy is formally in the race, he can start raising campaign funds and preparing for the 2014 Democratic State Convention in May. Candidates who are seeking public financing, as Malloy is, can raise a maximum of $250,000 in $100 donations from the public to qualify for $6 million in public financing for the gubernatorial general election.
"I am looking at some of the things other candidates are saying and I want to be able to hit the ground running when the session is over," Malloy said. "Raising campaign funds, getting all the ducks in a row, is going to take some amount of time, so I thought we should get the job going."
Ronald Schurin, political science associate professor at the University of Connecticut, said Malloy's announcement meant that he could "speak more clearly about political issues without seeming disingenuous."
Douglas Schwartz, director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said the announcement doesn't change the political game. "I don't think this affects voters."
Foley is one of six potential Republican candidates for governor, making a GOP primary likely.
"The most obvious variable is the Republican candidate," Schwartz said. "If it's Foley, it would be a very close race; it couldn't get any closer. … But you don't know how Foley will come out of the primary, how bruised he'll be."
Malloy came out ahead of four other Republican candidates in the latest Quinnipiac Poll, by 6 to 11 percentage points: Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti, state Sen. John McKinney, R-Fairfield, and former West Hartford Town Councilor Joe Visconti.
Since that poll, Martha Dean, an Avon lawyer who has run for attorney general in the past, has announced she is also running for governor.
Jerry Labriola, Connecticut Republican Party chairman, said Malloy faces a difficult challenge on a record that includes "the largest tax hike in state history," spending increases and a stagnant economy.
"Voters know that Connecticut can't afford four more years of Dan Malloy," Labriola said in a press release.
Boughton said in a press release that Connecticut's economic performance is one of the worst in the country and that the status quo isn't working for Connecticut residents."Only Gov. Malloy and his cronies believe his leadership over the last four years has been a success," he said. "Everyone else knows he led us in the wrong direction."
McKinney said the governor's announcement was anti-climactic. "As governor," he added, "I will work to repeal the Malloy tax hike, reduce state borrowing and pay down state debt," he said. "Those are important steps toward improving our economy and creating the conditions for job growth in the state of Connecticut."
In the Quinnipiac poll, Malloy was found to have support with how he handled gun policy and repealing the death penalty. He scored negatively on the economy and jobs, taxes and the budget.
"The governor is going to have to do two things: one is define his opponent, which is a polite way of saying going on the attack, whether it's Foley or McKinney," said Schurin, the UConn professor. He added that Malloy will "have to tap into those areas" where voters think he has done a good job, particularly in the handling of the Newton tragedy and during severe weather events.
Malloy's announcement came one day after signing into law a minimum wage increase to $10.10 an hour by 2017.
"The high bipartisan support among voters for increasing that wage will prove to be a hurdle for the Republican challenger," said Khalilah Brown-Dean, associate professor of political science at Quinnipiac University.
The upcoming race "promises to be one of the most expensive and competitive in recent state history," Brown-Dean said. "Both the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee are actively working to capture state houses, shore up victories in the midterm congressional elections and prepare for the 2016 presidential campaign cycle."

ORCA Cards
The ORCA card is all you need to pay your fare on buses and trains in the Puget Sound region. After you load E-purse (electronic purse) value or a monthly pass on it, your ORCA card works like cash or a pass, automatically tracking the value of different fares and transfers so you don't have to.
ORCA cards cost $5. Once you have a card, you can add between $5 and $300 in the card's E-purse to pay for trips as you go. With the E-purse feature, the ORCA card works similar to a debit card, and pays for your fare out of the E-purse. When the card's balance gets low, just add additional value.
If you are a frequent rider, you can add an electronic monthly pass good for an unlimited number of trips on designated transit agencies during the valid calendar month.
You can have E-purse and an electronic monthly pass on the same ORCA card. You can add E-purse to cover any additional fares beyond your monthly pass.

The other night I had a friend over and we were talking about our mutual career angst. We are not at all on the same professional tracks, though I'd venture to say I am more often jealous of hers than she of mine, hers being a life of the mind and mine being a life of the… stacks of paper, I guess you might say. At any rate, here we were, two smart women, young but feeling adrift, and it makes me cry to think about how actually and utterly convinced we both seem to be that the future holds nothing but failure for both of us.
Some of my angst is, of course, of my own making. Icarus's problem was that he flew too close to the sun, but I keep lingering in the shade, myself. I don't apply for things I assume I won't get. I don't write things I think about because I assume that I will express them inadequately and awkwardly. I double-up on the self-flagellation around these things because then, since I am rapidly approaching a Landmark Birthday By Which One Is Supposed To Have Certain Things Settled, I want to complain that I don't have any of the things I was too afraid to ask or work for in the first place.
As I always do when I feel like I am about to throw myself under the bus, I've been trying to think about what this life of mine means in feminist terms. (I may be the only person in the universe whose breaking heart can be soothed by a good abstract feminist debate.) And, well… I think I might be a big old feminist failure too, flunking on my own terms of what it means to be a woman in my particular time and place, with my particular advantages.
Let me back up. A few weeks ago I happened to see Naomi Wolf speak, and although my impression was mixed, one thing she said that has stuck in my craw ever since was that women needed "to take up the space that the world gives them." When she spoke those words, it dawned on me that I hardly knew how to do that, and that my lack of knowledge in this regard was, in fact, a Pretty Fucking Big Feminist Problem.
I want to be clear: in a room full of people I love, I am an interrupter and a pedant and a shouter and a comic and I'm sure altogether infuriating. In these small particular spaces, which are, by choice and habit of association, usually filled with sympathetic ears, I do not lack for self-confidence or self-respect.
It's when I get out in the wider world that I get into trouble. It's there that I lose my assurance that I matter, that I have something to say that people want to hear. It's there that I smart at being overlooked but do nothing in particular about it, there that I smile dumbly when someone tells a joke I don't like, there that I assume I will not get anything I deserve.
And I don't kid myself that this is not a gendered thing. I know that I was not raised with any expectation of being able to do something extraordinary. But everywhere I look I see dudes who see the world as their oyster without the vaguest sense of self-awareness. Last year I was dating a man who, despite having done very little with his life other than receiving an undergraduate degree in film from NYU, was absolutely, one hundred percent certain that it was his destiny to make a film about "women's stories." (No, I do not know why I did not dump him immediately either.) I have worked with a hundred and ten male actors convinced their degrees from the American Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts would lead them to the position of the next Daniel Day-Lewis. Every guy I know at work thinks he's going to be President, on the Supreme Court, the Dean of Harvard Law School, the biggest M&A lawyer in New York.
And meanwhile, I try to be content, as Edith Wharton once urged, to be interested in big things and happy in small ways. Which, as a coping strategy, may be the best advice there is. But it will not get any of us the big things, a shelf full of books one has written and others have read, the Presidency, a mention in the history books read by children, will it? I don't mean to be hubristic and suggest that I am entitled to those things, but isn't it sad that for most women, most of the time, they aren't even things one envisions in the realm of possibility?
And here I am, late at night, with a pot of tea and these thoughts rolling in my head and all the lazy time I spend pondering these things is more time gone that I shan't be getting back and that I can't use for anyone at all, let alone myself. And I don't know what the answer is, whether I ought to be, as a feminist, taking up my space. I don't know whether it's feminist to be ambitious in a world that doesn't give anyone what they deserve to have.
What do you think?

Vice President Joe Biden painted a bleak picture of a Mitt Romney presidency Wednesday at a gathering of black media professionals, the Huffington Post reports.
"Imagine what the Supreme Court will look like after three years of a Romney presidency," Biden said in a speech at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in New Orleans. "Imagine what it will mean for traditional civil rights, women's rights and so much more."
Biden called the Republican presidential challenger "an honorable man," but he criticized his support of his party's plan to cut taxes for the wealthy, which he said would cut Medicare and Medicaid by $810 billion.

Pierce Brosnan's son arrestedPierce Brosnan's son has been arrested on suspicion of stealing mobile phones from a trendy London night club.
Christopher Brosnan, 32, was caught after allegedly going through handbags left near the dance floor in exclusive London nightspot, Chinawhite.
A witness revealed: "There were a number of complaints about mobile phones going missing. Suddenly security came up to Chris's table and then the police arrived."
The 'James Bond' star's adopted son, who works as a film producer, spent the night in a cell before being bailed.
Christopher was released by police the next morning while inquiries continued, after a DNA swab reportedly linked him with another theft.
Christopher, and his sister, Charlotte were adopted by the '007' star and his first wife, Cassandra Harris, who died tragically of cancer in 1991.
Christoper has battled drink and drug addictions, and almost died when he overdosed on illegal drug GHB in March 2002.
'James Bond' star, Pierce, 51, now lives in Los Angeles with his second wife, Keely Shaye Smith, and their young family.

Terrible Customer Service at Ridiculous Prices
A review by jonny5chicago written on Oct 23, 2007Full review
SkyMall is not worth your time or money. I had tried to place an order online for 2 pajamas for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas last year. After putting in my credit card information and trying to submit the order I received a message saying that the order could not be processed and that I should call customer service to place the order (which I did). Instead of receiving 2 pajamas, my brother receives 4 pajamas in the mail. I check my credit card statement and I was charged for 4 pajamas. I called Skymall to point out their mistake and they laughed at me (I'm not kidding) and said that it was my fault and that I needed to call the vendor myself and arrange the shipping. However, my brother was in possession of the extras and did not have the time to take it to the post office and the vendor was not going to cover the return shipping...... needless to say, I was annoyed. Then my brother misplaced the package after moving to a new place.
8 months have passed and I finally made it out to my brother's house and he found the package so I called the vendor to return the pajamas but they said that it was past the 2 month return policy. I then called Skymall to rectify the situation and hoped they would speak to the vendor on my behalf. They said they couldn't do anything (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THEIR FAULT!!!) so I told them I would never purchase anything through them again.

Bristol-based digital agency Thought Den and wildlife charity Wildscreen have joined forces to release 'Survival', a free quick-fire game for smartphones and tablets that raises awareness amongst young people about the world's endangered animals.
The game, built in HTML5 and Javascript, shows that this technology is finally giving native apps a run for their money.
The collaborative team devised a series of game mechanics based around endangered species facts, immersing the players in the subject. Did you know that the blue whale has a heart the size of car, or that the male seahorse gives birth?
In Single or Team mode, players attempt to survive for as long as possible by playing mini-games based on the animal characteristics of speed, agility, endurance and intelligence. As a reward for earning high scores players unlock stunning photos from the ARKive collection as well as nine hand-illustrated hero characters.
Working in PhoneGap, recently acquired by technology giant Adobe, Thought Den used HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript to create a fluid layout system compatible with a range of screen sizes. This codebase is then packaged up and given a native wrapper for each of the iOS and Android platforms. Extensive optimisation work means its runs smoothly when processing the range of touch-screen gestures that form the game play.
Ben Templeton, Creative Director at Thought Den said: "Mobile apps seem to be the goldrush of the moment and we're always looking at new ways of giving our clients more bang for their buck. By developing in PhoneGap, we drew on our experience of traditional web builds in HTML, refining this skill-base to author a mobile app that is rich and fluid.

FLS5010T: Spanish III (2013-2014)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Virtual School Program
COURSE TITLE: Spanish III
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
SUGGESTED PREPARATION: Spanish I, Spanish II
Major Concepts/Content:
This third year of Spanish is a continuation of the first two years. The student will continue to improve listening, speaking, reading and writing skills through activities that are based on pedagogically proven methods of foreign language instruction. Throughout the course, students learn to express themselves using ever-increasing vocabulary, present-tense verbs, past-tense verbs, articles, and adjectives.
Grammar is introduced and practiced in innovative and interesting ways with a variety of learning styles in mind. Culture is embedded throughout the course in an attempt to help the learner focus on the Spanish-speaking world and its culture, people, geographical location and history.
By the end of Level III in secondary school, students comprehend an expanded range of vocabulary, more complex conversations, narratives, and recorded material within familiar contexts, including high-frequency idiomatic expressions. They identify main ideas and some details on a number of topics, such as those presented in the target culture's TV, radio, video, or live and computer-generated presentations. Students communicate oral and written information about familiar topics with sufficient accuracy that listeners and readers understand most of what is presented. When interacting on familiar topics in present time, they express their own thoughts using sentences and strings of sentences. They are able to meet practical writing needs, such as short letters and notes, by recombining learned vocabulary and structures, demonstrating full control of present time and some control of other time frames such as the future and the past. When preparing oral and written presentations on familiar topics, they use a range of sentences and strings of sentences primarily in present time, but also in past and future time. Students demonstrate increasing cultural knowledge in oral and written presentations. They demonstrate control of an expanding number of familiar words and phrases and of a limited number of idiomatic expressions. Students may be understood by sympathetic native speakers who are used to dealing with foreigners.

Looks like 'The Mindy Project' has landed (yet) another big-name guest star. According to E! News, the next celeb to appear on the FOX sitcom is none other than Anna Gunn from 'Breaking Bad' fame.
Gunn will play Mindy Lahiri's (played by star Mindy Kaling) idol Sheila Hamilton, whom she refers to as "the Tory Burch of Manhattan OB/GYNs" (I guess that means she's kind of a big deal) when she shows up on the sitcom's 13th episode this season. And it appears the love will be mutual, as Sheila will attempt to steal Mindy away from her current position at Shulman & Associates. Apparently Sheila's a high-profile doctor who treats New York's rich and famous, and given that Mindy (Lahiri, that is) is obsessed with all things posh and pop culture-related, I'm also guessing that she'll seriously consider the offer.
Gunn recently won an Emmy for her role as Walter White's long-suffering wife Skylar on the AMC hit, and given that the drama just had its swan song over the summer, she's probably in high demand around town.
Kaling's obsession with 'Breaking Bad' is known amongst her fans. She's tweeted about her love for the show through its entire run, and recently she made it a point of contention between her and her recent on-screen boyfriend (Ben Feldman) in a recent episode of 'The Mindy Project.' Feldman played an Arts & Culture writer who wrote a negative review of the show. Needless to say, he and Mindy broke up.
'The Mindy Project' airs Tuesdays on FOX at 9:30/8:30c.

American Visions: The Epic History of Art in America (1997)
by Robert Hughes
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A well-written overview of the history of American art, from Puritan origins through civil war, growing prosperity, modernism, depression, war, and rampant capitalism at the end of the twentieth century. Hughes views much post-1980s art as market-hyped rubbish. He doesn't care for artists who lack technical drawing skills. He emphasises the importance of good artistic training, noting that art was bad when artists were untrained or when they had no good models to observe (such as the early days of the colonies). He chronicles the gradual shift of the art world epicentre from Paris to New York (and ultimately, beyond) over the course of the 'American Century'. He concludes that excessive capitalistic speculation has damaged the American art scene, perhaps irreparably.
A wonderful book by my favorite critic. Whether he is talking about the classicism of the post-revolutionary era, the landscapes of Cole and Church, the Abstract Expressionists, or the "art industry" of the 1980s, Hughes is passionate and knowledgeable, and his prose is crystal clear.
A delightful book every European with a cultural superiority complex should read. Written as you would explain the subject to an intelligent thirteen year old (I mean this as the highest form of compliment).
Robert Hughes is one of my favorite critics. Very knowledgable.
Hughes has a gift for describing objects in an alert and critical way, and American Visions, with its discussions of altarpieces, headstones, pueblo architecture, Shaker furniture, Civil War memorials, Sargent portraits, New York City skyscrapers, Pollock drip paintings, Fifties Cadillacs, Warhol soup cans, and Bruce Nauman installations, is a virtuoso display. There is not a dull or redundant page, and there are 635 of them.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0679426272, Paperback)Australian-born art critic Robert Hughes, author of the highly acclaimed study of modern art, The Shock of the New has made his home in the United States for the last 20 years. His latest undertaking, which he calls "a love letter to America," is his most massive: a 350-year history of art in America. Published in association with an eight-part PBS series of the same name, this is no scholarly text. With the same voracious wit and opinionated brilliance that have characterized his criticism for Time magazine, this tour-de-force spans three centuries of events, movements, and personalities that have shaped American society and its art. The reproductions are outstanding; 323 out of 365 are in rich, vivid color. Infinitely entertaining and perceptive, this superb book makes readers feel as if they have discovered a truer, hidden America. It seems certain to become one of the most important works in the art-historical canon.

There was a feeling, immediately after Cannes, that we were in the grip of some unforeseen phenomenon: a sudden and perceptible upturn in the fortunes of Italian cinema. True, Matteo Garrone's "Gomorra" was excellent -- and Paolo Sorrentino's "Il Divo" was, to my mind, even better -- but to herald a fully-fleged renaissance, on the basis of these two films, seemed a little optimistic, not to say premature. One swallow, after all, doth not a summer make. Many within the Italian film industry were quick to wave the flag -- at least in public; privately, though, they would confide that this supposed "new wave" was in fact just a blip: a piece of fortuitous timing. Two good movies had simply arrived at the same time. For almost any other country, this would be unremarkable. But such is the state of modern Italian cinema, it carried the force of holy revelation.
Understandable, then, that this story should gain traction -- and that this year we should find no less than four Italian features in competition in Venice. Clearly, duty has been done.
More than most European countries, Italy specialises in a particular kind of director: buffoonish, distinctly middlebrow in taste, usually of A Certain Age, and unshakeably convinced of their own greatness. Franco Zeffirelli is one of these; Giuseppe Tornatore is another. But Pupi Avati in many ways takes le biscotti. His filmography is a kind of luxury cruise (stately, well-appointed, abundantly restful) around life's shallower waters, from which you disembark feeling both enervated and significantly less smart. In "Il Papa di Giovanna", he turned his eminently tasteful eye to a father's hopeless, self-abnegating love for his misfit daughter, a wallflower of the type destined to be (if one might invoke another, better movie) seduced and abandoned by the raggazzi. The result was unexpectional in every respect.
MORE VENICE COVERAGE: The Fest and the Coens | Confounding Competition
Why, then, does the unfortunately-named Pupi continue to enjoy the favours of the festival circuit? Only a cynic would claim it had anything to do with his former day-job, as president of Cinecitta Holdings, the parent company of the famous studio; indeed, it would be churlish even to link the two. But in the absence of Rod Serling, coming back from the dead to explain it to me, I fail to see any other explanation. He's a shrewd politician, well-connected, and a thoroughly uninspired artisan, and has about as much business being in competition here as Tinto Brass.
I'm not a fan of Ferzan Oezpetek, and "Un giorno perfetto" did little to convert me to his cause, not least for being burdened with one of the most oppressive musical scores this side of Andrew Lloyd Webber. It also continued to waste one of contemporary Italian cinema's greatest assets, the fine Isabella Ferrari. And "BirdWatchers," by Marco Bechis, was perfectly fine, a tale of natives clashing with settlers in the Brazilian rainforest, but has been slightly overestimated here, I think, in the absence of better films.
In other sections, it's been a mixed bag. "Parc," by Arnaud des Pallieres, was an intriguing French take on John Cheever's novel Bullet Park, one of my favourite novels, and while it failed to quite deliver all it promised, it communicated an unnerving sense of menace and disorder, partly via its splendid sound design; Tariq Tapa's "Zero Bridge," by contrast, felt dull and perfunctory, like nothing so much as following a friend around while they paid their bills. Bohdan Slama's "A Country Teacher" featured one of the most inexplicable gay relationships in all cinema, and threatened, for all the beauty of its director's prowling camerawork, to become one of those "problem" movies that treated homosexuality as an incurable and ostracizing condition. (The chief lesson of the film? Only that the Czech countryside would perhaps struggle to be called "gay-friendly" ...)
But the real find of the Orrizonti section (or "Orrible", as some unkind souls took to calling it) was Gerardo Naranjo's "Voy a Explotar," a tale of doomed adolescent love, set in Guanajuato, that borrowed much from the Godard of "Breathless" and "Pierrot le Fou"; it even set its most delirious (and unabashedly New Wave) declaration of desire -- a single shot, looped three times -- to George Delarue's main theme from "Le Mepris": passions can hardly be writ grander than that. And though its contrivances piled up in the last half-hour, it maintained its energy, intensity and conviction throughout.
Of the docs, meanwhile, the biggest disappointment was Russ McElwee's "In Paraguay," a 78-minute home movie following his trip, along with his wife and son, to adopt a three-month old Paraguayan girl. The result was American faux-naivete at its worst. Among the many shattering revelations presented here, we learned that the titular South American nation has suffered beneath a number of dictators, that the US had played some shadowy part in its miseries (details, however, remained vague), and that adoptions can take time, especially in Third World countries where a bribe or two is clearly expected to grease the machinery of the State.
Yet this fact, though glaringly obvious to every member of the audience, never seemed to occur to Mr McElwee -- and would, anyway, have dented his faultless liberal sensibilities, his ingenuous, childlike wonder at all he beheld. Sloppily-constructed, solipsistic, succumbing to a tourist's tendency to apotheosize squalor and misery ("That man is horribly crippled, and yet he smiles..."), and finally of no interest to anyone outside the filmmaker's household, it hardly looked like the work of the sharp mind that gave us "Bright Leaves."
Late in the day, the Competition has offered up one unequivocally fine film, Jonathan Demme's "Rachel Getting Married," complete with a stunning central performance by Anne Hathaway -- and one qualified success: Alexey German Jr.'s "Paper Soldier," about the preparation to launch the first cosmonauts into space. Set in a remote backwater in Kazakhstan, in early 1961, it was by far the most visually beautiful film in this year's programme, with its stunning, long-take mise-en-scene, reminiscent of Miklos Jancso, and meticulous production design, perfectly evoking the Soviet films of the period. Indeed, the only thing keeping it from being regarded as a masterpiece was its characters' stunning inability to SHUT THE FUCK UP.
God almighty, what is it about Russian cinema? This compulsive logorrhea? (See also: Sukurov.) It's not even that they're talking about anything important; it's just chatter, a string of tedious non-sequiters that's clearly derived from and meant to evoke Chekhov (and lest we fail to make the connection, his name is dropped on a number of occasions here)... and which is, anyway, all post-synched, so it even lacks the ambience of people actually talking in a physical space. It's just a bunch of close-miked actors burbling away in a post-production studio, wittering on and on about curtains and potatoes and the shapes of clouds -- anything, it seems, but the matter at hand. Perhaps it's a translation problem. Or maybe this is what passes for snappy repartee in the former Soviet Union. Either way, it was maddening, and detracted from the film's undeniable virtues: the genuine mastery of German's direction (an entirely different level of achievement to most of what's been screened here), the power of the landscape, the jaw-dropping beauty of the images. Somewhere, beneath all the surface noise, lurks a truly great film.

Here's the run down. I have a Giant Bowery '84. Pretty much all original aside from Handle Bars and pedels. I recently rode my buddies bike, also a Bowery but with a Carbon fork & Steer tube. Much nicer ride, needless to say.
So I popped into my LBS and found a LOOK Carbon Fork for $150, I maybe able to get them down a bit with a cash offer. I tried doing a little reseach but I couldn't find much info. The fork is a Take-Off from a bike that was upgraded when purchased. Is $150 a good deal? What should I look for when looking at it? or any others? Thanks

I took Malachi out to test out the new lights I put on for commuting and I'll say this......
Riding a fixed gear at night is an absolute blast! Absolute silence and pushing a 98 Gear Inch crank isn't that bad. I felt like I was flying. I did only forget to pedal once......and promptly got bumped up out of the saddle. I did get things back though and didn't get tossed over the bars.
I'm definitely well lit, running twin 5 LED lights on the front, and my trusty cateye on the rear. One driver said I was blindingly bright. Not bad for battery lights from Walmart (I'm running the Bell Trail Lights.).
All in all, it was a nice 5 mile spin.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
we stayed at this hotel at the end of march having booked 2 rooms for 3 people well in advance. when we arrived we were told there was not 2 rooms as some guests had been ill and had to stay on. disappointed at first, turned out we had a huge big suite with fridge, tv, very clean and the hotel although small , had a lift. we enjoyed our stay and the staff were friendly enough , so for a budget hotel i would recommend it.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I stayed here 4 nights. Very helpful & friendly staff. Great breakfasts (buffet during busy times). Just don't get a room on the lower floor - noise from lobby & kitchen really annoying - even with ear plugs ! Not so great if you want an early night/sleep in.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
It seems as though the hotel is trying to cheat us inexplicitly. For example, we wanted to go somewhere near the hotel. However, we were unfamiliar with the taxi fare so we decided to ask the receptionist for a gauge. She told us that she could book a cab for us and it would cost approximately 50 000 dong. However, we decided to hail a cab by ourselves because we did not want to wait. We quoted the price given to us by the hotel and the taxi driver was very happy to bring us there but we realised that it was an exorbitant price later on because we paid only 30 000 dong when we went back to the hotel. This is only one incident. However, there are many other occurrences whereby the hotel tries to earn extra money from us so you have to be careful if you want to stay there.

Last night, ELLE's Annual Women in Television Celebration was held at Sunset Tower in West Hollywood. The event recognizes women who are making it work on TV, so tons of your (or our, at least) favorite famous human beings were there. And they looked rather great! From Zooey Deschanel and Malin Akerman to Mindy Kaling and Emmy Rossum, the lineup was pretty excellent.
ELLE Editor-in-Chief Robbie Myers looked stunning, as one would expect. Perfect cut, perfect fit, and perfect hairstyle to complete the look. Is she channeling a Brigitte Bardot vibe or is that just me?
Oh, Joel McHale. I love you so. I am admittedly a bit envious of Sarah McHale, but at least she's awesome so it eases the pain.
I'm digging the design of Suits' Sarah Rafferty's dress a lot.
Lydia Hearst makes me unbelievably cold just looking at her wearing what I assume is a Batman-inspired red carpet bathing suit. I'm also just not a big fan of that material; it looks much cheaper than (I assume) it costs.
I'm not even sure why I love Constance Zimmer's dress so much.
Seriously, it looks like there are strips of duct tape on the back, and yet I think it is the cutest.
Emily Wickersham looked dressed up in a Coachella way. Is Coachellegant a thing?
I really like Tracee Ellis Ross' simple look with her bouncy, touchable curls. Of course, being the daughter of Diana Ross means you have a certain instinct about how to look good no matter what, forever and ever.
Eh, I'm not crazy about Maria Menounos and Giada De Laurentis' looks. They remind me of outfits I designed as a kid for my Barbie dolls so I could live vicariously through them when my mom told me crop tops were out of the question.
How very Forever 21 of you, Bella Thorne.
Molly Sims' dress is having an identity crisis.
I do not hate Jenna Dewan-Tatum's dress, but I don't think it was appropriate for this occasion. She looks like she is going to prom.
Emma Roberts did her typical Emma Roberts thing.
Now, for the stunning ladies of Orange Is The New Black, as well as Mindy Kaling and Zooey Deschanel.
