|Hangouts On Air enabled
However... though I think Hangouts On Air for education could work well for sessions you want to be completely open - webinars are a prime example... wherever you want your students to engage and discuss things in an honest, open - and sometimes vulnerable way... I'm not sure that the recording / streaming of a Hangout On Air outweighs the potential barrier that lack of privacy while the hangout is live would present.
Equally, it's also worth thinking about your institutional policy on the openness of your teaching? Does your institution allow you to broadcast to the rest of the world? That's going to impact on this too... and is important to bear in mind!
Here are a few of the 'early days' pros and cons... am happy to be corrected / have others add things to this list. It'll be interesting to see Hangouts On Air develop as a product and to see what Google prioritise...
- Easy to use
- Free
- Readily available if you have Google Apps enabled for the campus
- Can stream live to YouTube and reach a global audience
- Can invite specific people to take part live - but have to do this ahead of going 'On Air'
- Can share apps within the hangout (as with normal hangouts)
- Recording made of the hangout which can be downloaded from YouTube
- Can control visibility of YouTube video after the event
- Can embed video within an institutional VLE
- Can create screencasts using a Google+ Hangout On Air - you don't need an audience to hang out
- Can edit the recording using YouTube's video editor - including annotation, closed captioning
- Can take advantage of Creative Commons licensing within YouTube for the resulting video
|Copyright notice / participation agreement
on entering a Hangout On Air
- Cannot limit the audience on YouTube when streaming - it's either public or public
- There are extensions on Chrome which will allow people to 'find' your Hangout On Air easily too - and which further publicises your hangout and diminishes any privacy
- Cannot share resources for which you don't have permission / have the copyright
- Difficult to moderate comments on YouTube whilst running the session
- Because when it's live on YouTube it's public, random strangers can comment on your Hangout On Air
- Learners might be put off participating because of the public nature of the Hangout
- You can't kick someone out of a Hangout - only block them
- If the URL of the Hangout On Air is shared then anyone with the URL can join even if they weren't invited
- As the broadcaster, you have to take responsibility for others copyright infringements

Final thought:
|Hangout On Air live and public on a Google+ stream
It takes a brave person to learn in public. It takes an *extremely* brave person to learn in front of a potentially global audience!

Dr. Maceda retired from private practice in 2005 but continued to work once a week at the women's health clinic at St. Joseph until 2012.
He was involved with the Western New York Filipino community, serving as president of the Filipino American Association of Western New York and as treasurer and president of the University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Association of Western New York.
Photography was a passion for Dr. Maceda, who especially enjoyed snapping photos of nature and wildlife. He received recognition for his work from the Buffalo Museum of Science Camera Club. Golf and gardening were among the other leisure activities he enjoyed.
Dr. Maceda is survived by his wife of 45 years, the former Lilia R. Lim; a daughter, Aimee Lynn Richman; two sons, Jose Sixto Maceda and Mark Steven Maceda; and seven siblings, Constancia, Lourdes, Gonzolo and Tomas Maceda, Honoria Leyes, Mesalina Poblete and Vina Pena.

Prevention and treatment of Parkinson's Disease: ECT, nicotine, caffeine
Some reflections on Parkinson's disease, and the related Lewy body dementia; which are the second most common cause of degenerative brain disease (after Alzheimer's) - increasingly common in the developed world, probably due to the 'ageing population'.
The current medical treatment of Parkinson's disease seems to be extremely poor.
It is based around L-dopa, which seems to be a miracle cure at first, for a short time, but then almost always produces severe side effects and/or loses its effect.
It looks as if L-dopa is just too powerful a drug (almost a pure neurotransmitter), and the brain responds by 'fighting' the drug - i.e. the brain's homeostatic mechanisms are seriously destabilised by L-dopa, and the patient veers between hyperstimulation and 'freezing'.
On the other hand, electroconvulsive therapy/ ECT/ electroshock has been shown to be effective in some patients with Parkinson's disease in numerous trials - yet this fact is virtually unknown.
ECT is a much safer treatment than L-dopa. And even if it wasn't, Parkinson's is an extremely severe and debilitating illness - indeed people have had experimental brain surgery and transplant procedures (albeit with little success) for Parkinson's.
So there seem no valid reason not to try a course of ECT in Parkinson's, and maintenance ECT if it produces significant benefit.
There is very strong evidence (mostly from studies of tobacco smoking) that nicotine is preventive of Parkinson's disease, and sometimes helps treat it. This is rational, given that nicotine indirectly increases dopamine activity.
Nicotine can be safely given with skin patches with minimal side effects (for most people).
Why is nicotine not used in prevention/ early-treatment of Parkinson's?
Why is it not even tried?
There is also evidence that caffeine (coffee) is preventive of Parkinson's disease, and there is also a rationale for this because caffeine is a mild psychostimulant with dopamine boosting actions.
So, in Parkinson's disease we have a very serious and common disease with hopeless conventional treatment - we have in ECT a powerful treatment which almost certainly helps some people, even with severe PD - and we have in nicotine and caffeine two non-prescription treatments which almost certainly prevent the illness, and improve the early stage of the illness.
Why are they virtually unknown, why don't people try them?
Obviously, if they are tried and they don't work, or make things worse; then stop.
But why not try, especially when current treatment is so bad?
With ECT there is a very obvious prejudice against the treatment - a fear and horror which is ignorantly and dishonestly stimulated.
At root, probably this is because ECT is opposed by Big Pharma who want people to take ineffective/ harmful medication instead of an effective physical treatment. Drugs are marketed to the tune of 1000 dollars per head of population in the USA. IN a competitive world, with a rate of turnover and change, simply by not being marketed, agents drop out of use.
With nicotine and caffeine there is the problem (folk belief, media manipulation) that these drugs are supposed to be 'bad for you' according to the mainstream mass media ideas of 'health promotion'. There is therefore an underlying discomfort in recommending for health reasons a lifestyle or treatment associated with smoking and drinking strong coffee.
Whatever the reasons, the complete uninterest in effective treatment for people with very severe, common, debilitating, distressing, progressive disease is altogether typical of modern society.
Contrary to what might be imagined, modernity cares little for functionality, is all-but indifferent to effectiveness.
So it really is possible for effective, safe and available treatments of a common and severe illness to languish, unused; despite that anyone with Google Scholar could find out about them in five minutes...
This is the actuality of the information revolution: knowledge hidden in plain sight.

Another treatment to add to your list: a ketogenic diet is said to be effective at arresting the progress of Parkinson's in many, perhaps most, patients.

@Jonathan - maybe, I haven't looked at that one.

- Can this kind of prolonged overstimulation and destabilization cause psychosis? And if so, can you approximately estimate how large part of psychoses is caused or facilitated by stimulants?
- 31 January 2012 at 13:33
- bgc said...
@Valkea - yes, it sometimes causes psychosis - usually a delirium. L-dopa sometimes causes a hyper-stimulated state a bit like mania, aggressive, sometimes hypersexualized.

Another method which seems to be promising is deep brain stimulation. Electrodes are inserted into the brain so that one can stimulate a certain area of the brain via small currents. This way specific groups of neurons can be activated. Another method which could be used (and which has been tried out quite successfully in animals) is to implant embryonic dopaminergic neurons into the basal ganglia. It seems that the diffuse secretion of dopamin by these neurons mitigates some of the symptons of parkinson associated with the misfunction of the substantia nigra.

@VLAI - well, poking electrodes into the brain etc is getting pretty desperate. The really amazing things is that so many people have these and other wholly experimental procedures done on them, will never even have tried ECT.

Is my (perfectly British) 'four cups of tea a day' habit – every four hours, like clockwork – a sufficient preventative against Parkinson's disease, or do I need to shift over to the harder stuff? As for nicotine patches, it appears that Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock has already put the method into practice…

When you touch on Big Pharma's role in drug treatment of this disease as opposed to physical I immediately consider the plight of diabetics forced into a long lifetime of maintenance with expensive supplies and drugs. Could there be a more perfect disease for profit? Parkinson's - usually - strikes the elderly so Big Pharma must strike while the iron's hot.

I've been thinking about using nicotine/tobacco as a cognitive enhancer for the past year, but for a few reasons such as the cost and the addictiveness of tobacco/nicotine I haven't yet made the decision to start, other than the occasional experimental use of snus.
Initially I was interested in it to help with adult ADD. More recently, I'm recovering from a concussion, and concerned about the possibility of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy later in life. I wonder if tobacco/nicotine has any preventive usefulness for CTE. Based on a couple of experimental uses of snus, tobacco does seem to have a fairly significant positive effect on concussion symptoms.
Apparently tobacco/nicotine is preventive for some forms of dementia. I wonder if it has been researched for effectiveness with CTE. I suspect not. Concussion and CTE seem to be conditions that are not looked at to closely by the medical community.

What have I overlooked>
If L-dopa is so "strong", why not just reduce the dosage?
- 15 February 2012 at 00:05
- LeonRover said...
Here is an excerpt from The Economist in 2000.
"Dopamine, however, has roles other than the generation of a feel-good factor. Both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, for example, are associated with a dopamine deficit. So attacking them with nicotine seems worth a try.
Pursuing this line of reasoning, Paul Newhouse, a psychiatrist at the University of Vermont, and his colleagues, have been administering the stuff to their Parkinson's and Alzheimer's patients. And they have, indeed, found that people with Parkinson's disease are better able to stand up, walk and resume sitting following the administration of nicotine. They also saw enhanced learning and memory skills in these patients and in a group of people with Alzheimer's disease that they tested. "

@JR - If L-dopa is 'too powerful' it may be for reasons discussed in this article by David L Horrobin
The dose that is swallowed is only part of the story - after that the drug may go everywhere, including many places it is not wanted.
I suppose the analogy might be trying to bang in a thumb tack with a five pound iron mallet - the drug dose would represent how hard you hit the tack - very difficult to get right, either it does nothing or the tack is bent and flattened...

The single 'p' may just as well be a scribal error, so I would not base too wide reaching conclusions on this detail.Sylvester wrote:Kare wrote: I don't know what you are referring to here. A nexus? In Pali the whole phrase is one composite word: surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā. And all of the elements are nouns. So I'm sorry, but I see no basis for your analysis.
Hi Kare
I'm sure that you're aware that the compound occurs as 2 slightly different variants in the various editions, ie surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāna and surāmerayamajjappamādaṭṭhāna. The former (based on a word count in the Burmese edition) is more frequently encountered than the latter. I take the presence of the undoubled "p" to be evidence that this compound started life as 2 separate compounds, and that the doubled "p" form is part of the ongoing evolution of the redaction. That is how I parsed the compound into 2 distinct compounds.
Some years ago I wrote a detailed analysis and translation of it at this forum. I tried to find it, but I can not make the search function work. Maybe someone else is able to find it? If not, I'll see if I can do it once more.
I take surāmerayamajja to be an aggregative compound, while the pamādaṭṭhāna is a bahubbīhi compound. The bahubbīhi would thus be an attributive/"adjectival" compound, notwithstanding that it is made up of nouns. The attribute would then stand in that relation to the nouns (surāmerayamajja). I put this into the class of bahubbīhis dealt with by Warder under Bahubbīhi Compounds (I), p.137 and how this fits into his syntactical analysis of the nexus at p.61.
The Comy parse of pamādaṭṭhāna also suggests that it was treated as an attributive bahubbīhi -
Just out of curiosity, how would you translate the original compound?Surāmerayamajjappamādaṭṭhānānuyogoti ettha surāti piṭṭhasurā pūvasurā odanasurā kiṇṇapakkhittā sambhārasaṃyuttāti pañca surā. Merayanti pupphāsavo phalāsavo madhvāsavo guḷāsavo sambhārasaṃyuttoti pañca āsavā. Taṃ sabbampi madakaraṇavasena majjaṃ. Pamādaṭṭhānanti pamādakāraṇaṃ.

Songs can be purchased at 150 or 200 Yen a song. Most of them in 200 range. Not all labels are listed in iTunes like Sony. Finding the songs that you like can be a pain. Many titles are listed in Japanese, although a significant number of titles/artists have English labeling.

HI all,
I have been using www.japantodoor.com to help me search and buying things off Japanese sites, its just faster for them to search for me in Japanese, than it is for me to find a English site that has it. So far they have been very helpful in search and i am happy with their service and price.
Hope this helps ^_^

Hey all, I'm in japan for the next few months and was curious if anyone happened to know any chain stores in japan that sold anime/jpop cd's? Would much rather avoid having to order them online and pay shipping if its possible to get them in person. The one store with music near me "Imagine" has a couple anime osts but didn't have too great of a selection. More specifcally the ones I'm looking for are albums released by Key(air, clannad osts and the OTSU remixs) Thanks in advance

Does anyone know where I can get the soundtrack for any of Key's visual novels? I can't seem to find any of them anywhere... And I'd also appreciate it if anyone had a link to where I can get the singles for the openings from Clannad After Story and ef - a tale of melodies. (I know that those two haven't been released yet, but surely SOMEONE has them available for preorders?)

For ef - a tale of melodies:
You can try to make a search for the other titles you're looking for (I've tried but no result, maybe if you search with the singer's name, it would be more effective, but as I don't know about their name except for Elisa )
I usually order my CDs from there, it's quite reliable (and not so expensive, since the shipping is free when you reach minimum $39, even if the listed price is a little bit higher than, let's say, cdjapan, all in all, yesasia is still cheaper )

And just a random observation: They have the first ending-single listed as "Eigo no Chikara". Doesn't that translate to like, "The Power of English"? Rather funny misspelling there...
Oh, and for the record, the Clannad After Story opening is performed by Lia.
By the way, free shipping for stuff that costs over 39$ is rather useless to me,
Spoiler for Explaination, tagged because I assume that no one really cares:
...Oh, I just found out that HimeyaShop seems to have all the soundtracks, though the price seems a bit higher than I had hoped for... So the only thing I still can't find at all is the Toki wo Kizamu Uta-single, but I'd still like to know if there's anywhere that sells all those soundtracks at a slightly lower price...

Hey, try www.ebay.com. They give links to other webs where you can buy music!.
That's where I got all my Kotoko, Mami Kawada, Ayumi Hamasaki. I could rabble here the whole day! . Anyway Vegard Aune, I'm from Sweden, I have the same problem. Can't do much then being very very happy when you get your CD/Single/Album or now what it is, guard it with gold!.

I'm just slightly uneasy about ebay mostly because it's never clear whether the CDs that you're getting are the genuine thing or if they're bootleg copies. I know that with anime DVDs, this happens quite a bit, so I'd assume that this also happens with CDs.
In any event, I'd just be wary all the same and make sure the ebay sellers are all legit.

Meiken Jolie OST
I'm looking for the OST of an old anime called "Meiken Jolie" (you know, the little boy with the huge white dog), but can't find it in any online store.
I searched on amazon and mandarake, also on all the stores mentioned in the "Where to buy japanese/anime music" thread
I'm not looking for the opening and ending, what I really want is the whole soundtrack with all the background musics.
Does anyone know where I could buy it ?

text: Find out how to get better customer service, score the best deals and protect your identity. By The Kiplinger Washington Editors March 5, 2012 Get better customer service via social media Use Twitter and other social media to complain and get results -- fast.DOWNLOAD: The Kip Tips iPad App Have a beef with a business? A public conversation about your complaint on Twitter may yield more satisfying results than a phone call to the company. Use these tips to make the most of the exchange. Search Twitter to find out whether the company has a Twitter presence, and direct your tweets to its account, preferably a customer-service account. Be firm but not combative. Employ many of the same tactics you'd use in a phone call -- include specific information, such as dates and times, and have a clear goal in mind (a full refund, for example). Advertisement Don't send sensitive information, such as credit card account numbers, on Twitter. Switch to a phone call. Get ideas from other customers. Searching the business's name on Twitter may turn up phone numbers of helpful representatives or other useful information. Throw your social media weight around. For example, some businesses check customers' Klout scores, which measure online influence (see yours at Klout.com). High scorers can try to get perks -- say, a free hotel-room upgrade -- just by asking. Go online for discounts Newspaper fliers are fine, but you can customize your coupons online, on Twitter and in your e-mail in-box. Using online coupon sites can easily slash $10 off each drugstore bill and $20 off clothing purchases, says Coupon Sherpa CEO Luke Knowles. Advertisement Check out Scoutmob, which adds a little twist to daily-deal sites. No payment is necessary until you present the coupon (displayed on your phone as a text, e-mail or on Scoutmob's app) at checkout, so there's no risk that you will buy a coupon and never cash it in. Sign up for daily deals at Google Deals, Groupon and LivingSocial. They offer about 50% off everything from pizza to Pilates classes (for caveats to consider before you sign up, see 6 Things to Know About Daily Deals). Get coupon codes at CouponCabin, Coupon Sherpa and RetailMeNot. Find the best deals by following those sites on Twitter or signing up for their e-mail alerts. Register for e-mail or Twitter alerts at your favorite stores to receive insider-only promotions. Advertisement Spend less on new tech Many gadget-lovers have plunked down big bucks on a first-generation -- or next-gen -- product only to see a better, cheaper version come down the pipeline. If you rushed out to buy a big-screen TV, your wallet certainly suffered from "early-adopter syndrome." Back in 2008, the average price of a 32-inch LCD TV was $867; by last year, the price had dropped by $330, according to iSuppli, a market-research firm. The first Kindle, introduced in 2007, cost $400; the latest version sells for as little as $110 without ads, is lighter and has way more memory and battery life. And you can snag a third-generation iPhone for as little as $50 (down from $600 at its 2007 introduction). Prices don't always fall, but even newer models that cost the same will have enhancements, and the early kinks will be ironed out. For even better deals, look for refurbished tech products, which often come with warranties. Nook Color: $199 brand-new, $145 refurbished Droid Bionic: $200 brand-new, $150 refurbished Advertisement Apple MacBook Air: $1,100 brand-new, $800 refurbished Western Digital My Passport 1TB Hard Drive: $172 brand-new, $152 refurbished Eat out for less It's all in the timing and location (and by location, we also mean where in the restaurant you happen to sit down). Opt for the bar menu. The portions are smaller, but so are the prices. For instance, at Morton's the Steakhouse, you'll pay $15 for four petite filet mignon sandwiches as opposed to $49 for the New York strip steak off the dinner menu. Buy lunch, not dinner. Eat off the same basic menu minus the extra-large portions (a 10-ounce meat entree rather than a 14-ouncer) and fancy side dishes (say, potato chips instead of fingerling potatoes), for about two-thirds the price. Choose fast-casual. Stand in line to order at upscale chains such as Vapiano's (Italian) and La Madeleine (French). You'll get the food and atmosphere of fancier, full-service restaurants while saving on price and tip. Pick the prix-fixe. Land a deal on the fixed-price menu even at high-end restaurants. At Manhattan's Gotham Bar and Grill, you can get a roasted-beet salad and the Scottish salmon entree for a fixed price of $25. Choose from the a la carte menu and a comparable selection -- a green salad and the pan-seared skate entree -- runs $34. Find the best happy hour. Go to www.dailyhappyhour.com to find the happy-hour specials -- usually offered between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. -- at bars near you. Typical deals: beer for a buck, cocktails for $4, and half-price appetizers. Let the kids eat for free. Visit www.mykidseatfree.com to find the restaurants near you where the kids score a freebie (usually on a particular night of the week and with the purchase of an adult entree). In Evanston, Ill., that would be Chili's Grill & Bar, on Tuesday nights; in Elkridge, Md., it's Mamma Lucia's, where the freebies flow all day Sunday. Drive the car that suits your lifestyle FAMILIES Kia Sorento, Sticker price: $25,750 (LX V6) Kia's midsize SUV switched from truck to crossover construction last year and now features more agile, carlike handling. A four-cylinder engine graces the lineup and gets 29 miles per gallon on the highway, versus 26 mpg for the V6. Second-row legroom is a roomy 38 inches, and cargo space behind the second row is 37 cubic feet -- enough to fit the family and all your gear. The third row of seats (optional on four-cylinder models and standard on V6 models) is perfect for little ones, but not unbearable for adults. The Sorento rates a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Runners-up: Hyundai Sonata $21,455 (2.4L GLS) It's elegant as well as utilitarian, with generous legroom and cargo space, and a thrifty four-cylinder engine. Honda Odyssey $29,035 (LX) The bold exterior, improved driving dynamics and functional interior set it apart from its minivan peers. URBAN COMMUTERS Nissan Leaf, Sticker price: $36,050 (SV) The first mass-market electric vehicle to hit the streets, the Leaf boasts serious amenities in addition to zero tailpipe emissions and a "fueling" cost of less than $700 a year. A heated steering wheel and heated seats and mirrors are standard features for 2012, as is a 7-inch information display with navigation (to help you find the nearest charging station), Bluetooth, and a USB connection for music. A full charge takes about eight hours on a 220-volt dock and will carry you 73 miles, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The price tag is steep, but a $7,500 federal tax credit helps. Runners-up: Ford Focus $19,095 (SE hatchback) Redesigned for 2012, it has plenty of legroom, high resale value and gets 36 miles per gallon on the highway. Hyundai Elantra, $15,955 (GLS) A nice price and 40 mpg on the highway make it easy on your budget. It has an ample 15 cubic feet of cargo room. OUTDOORSY Subaru Outback, Sticker price: $25,070 (2.5i automatic) Kiplinger's named the Outback Best in Class Wagon for the third year in a row, based on its fuel economy, stellar resale values and bragging rights as an IIHS Top Safety Pick. Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes in three different versions (all standard) on Outback models, depending on the transmission and engine. On the 2.5i automatic, power is distributed to the wheels depending on acceleration, deceleration and available traction. For trail-rated accessories such as splash guards and all-weather floor mats, check out the Popular Package ($772). Runners-up: Ford Explorer, $34,920 (XLT AWD) Explorer is now a crossover, with carlike handling and better fuel economy, but it's still rugged enough for adventure. Jeep Grand Cherokee, $29,820 (Laredo 4WD) This Jeep has off-road cred, lots of interior space and highway fuel economy of 23 mpg. MIDLIFE CRISIS Porsche Boxster, Sticker price: $62,750 (Spyder) Many celebrities have driven Porsches over the years, but few were cooler than 1950s film star James Dean -- whose love of Porsches became legendary after his death at the age of 24 while driving a 550 Spyder. Questions of your demise aside, if you desire two seats and the feel of the wind tousling your hair, then the Porsche Boxster is a good choice. It corners and brakes like a dream, and the engine is placed mid car, so there's storage fore and aft. The Spyder has a larger engine and more horsepower. If money is tight and you can sacrifice some speed, consider the base Boxster, for $15,000 less. Runners-up: Chevrolet Corvette, $50,500 (base) The 6.2-liter V8 packs 430 horsepower and propels the 'Vette (which turns 60 next year) from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds. Mazda Miata, $26,245 (Sport) Inspired by roadsters such as the MGB, the Miata is stripped to the essentials so you feel connected to the road. OLDER DRIVERS Chrysler 300C, Sticker price: $41,145 Chrysler's restyled 300C is evocative of the 1957 model, with a wide front grille and fins. But there's more to the C than nostalgia. The doors open wide for easy entry, and the dashboard is clean, with big, easy-to-use controls. Heated seats (front and rear) and a rearview camera are standard, and the pedals and steering wheel adjust at the touch of a button. Add the Safetytec package ($2,420) for adaptive cruise control, which uses radar to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you on the highway. The package includes forward-collision and blind-spot warning and cross-path detection. Runners-up: Mazda5, $20,140 (Sport) This mini minivan offers easy access, seating for six and easy-stow seats for when you need more space. Toyota Avalon, $33,955 (base) Check out the eight-way power driver's seat, easy-to-use dash controls and standard backup monitor. TEENS 2009 Honda Civic, Sticker price: $16,708 (EX-L sedan) If you'd rather spring for a new car for your teen, consider the Kia Soul or Ford Focus. But if you're looking to spend less, consider a three-year-old Civic. Its 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine produces 140 horsepower and gets 36 mpg on the highway. The EX-L model has safety features not available on lower trims -- standard stability and traction control plus brake assist (to apply maximum braking force in an emergency). Other standard perks include heated leather seats, USB connectivity and a 60/40 split folding rear seat to expand the car's 12 cubic feet of cargo space. Runners-up: 2008 Chevy Malibu, $11,831 (LT) The Malibu drives well, plus it comes with a slew of standard safety features and a wallet-friendly price. 2009 Scion xB, $12,323 (base) The xB has a capacious 22 cubic feet of cargo space and, as a Toyota product, a history of reliability. Land the best travel deals For the best prices, be flexible, and be ready to pounce on special promotions and time-sensitive "flash sales." Check the travel search engines (such as Kayak, Orbitz and Travelocity) for package deals on airfare, lodging and car rentals. Or sign up for the Gate1 newsletter, which sends out deals on all-inclusive vacations and tours. Airfare. Scout out fares on major travel sites, then plug a few itineraries into Bing Travel's handy "price predictor," which forecasts whether prices are headed up or down. Next, sign up for e-mail alerts from airfare-alert sites or follow them on Twitter. We like Airfarewatchdog and Farecompare to get the scoop on sales and promotions. (Skip blind booking sites, such as Hotwire and Priceline, which often place you on roundabout routes at inconvenient times.) Hotels. Flexible travelers should follow LivingSocial Escapes and Groupon Getaways for discounted offers at romantic villas and bed-and-breakfasts. Don't forget local tourism sites and guidebooks when looking for lodging. Places that choose not to register with travel search engines can be a great deal and have more local flavor than the chain hotels. Car rentals. Booking through Hotwire or Priceline is a good way to snag a bargain on a rental -- the vehicles in rental fleets don't vary much (see Put the Brakes on Rental Car Fees). Cruises. Look for cruises on Cruise.com, Kayak, Orbitz and Travelocity. If your dates are flexible, book during "wave season," from January through March, when you can find deals of 50% to 60% off, says Mark Murphy, CEO of Travalliance.com. Food. A few weeks before takeoff, sign up for Groupon, LivingSocial and Scoutmob in your destination city and pay special attention to restaurant coupons. Check online reviews on Yelp.com or Zagat.com. Rent a vacation home Vacation rentals aren't just for summer beach getaways. Vacation rental homes are pigeonholed as the classic lodging for families or large groups on beach vacations. But they can also suit singles and couples, not to mention families, looking for more space away from the tourist meccas in U.S. cities or abroad. Besides offering more square feet per dollar, rentals usually have a kitchen to help keep down food costs and a laundry room so you can pack lighter. The financials work differently for vacation rentals than for hotels. You'll likely pay a cleaning fee ($100 to $250) and may have to put down a security deposit or nonrefundable reservation deposit. Booking for a week can land you a reduced rate. Be sure to book through a trustworthy site, such as VRBO.com or HomeAway.com. These sites include thousands of listings, both domestic and international, with the owner's contact information, photos, reviews and pricing details. We also found a couple of smaller sites: Haveninparis.com focuses on Paris and Provence as well as London and Tuscany. Roomorama.com lists properties worldwide. Hollywood. On HomeAway.com, a two-bedroom Craftsman-style house, within walking distance of the Walk of Fame and Sunset Strip, was renting for $250 per night. Paris. In the trendy Marais neighborhood, an airy apartment runs from $300 to $375 per night (depending on the season). The apartment, listed on Haveninparis.com, sleeps four and offers cable and free calls to North America. Southern Italy. A three-bedroom villa near Sorrento, Italy, starts at about $190 nightly on Roomorama.com (the price can triple during summer season), with a one-week minimum stay. It has an infinity pool and can sleep up to eight people. Edinburgh. A two-bedroom luxury apartment listed on VRBO.com recently rented for between $165 and $340 per night (more during the August Edinburgh International Festival). Amenities include two fireplaces, a bathroom with heated floors and views of Edinburgh's castle. Protect your identity How to keep sensitive information out of the clutches of ID thieves. Secure government IDs. Keep your passport, birth certificate and Social Security card in a safe-deposit box or other secure place; never carry your Social Security card in your wallet. Don't reveal personal details over the phone or enter them online unless it's absolutely necessary. Before you divulge information, ask why it's needed. Hide the paper (and online) trail. Shred loan applications, bank statements and insurance forms before you toss them. To avoid high-tech identity thieves, never bank online using a public computer or public Wi-Fi over an unsecured network. When you are entering information online, look for "https" at the beginning of the URL. That means the site is secure. Make your passwords hard to crack by using symbols, uppercase and lowercase letters, and jumbled words (see Foil the Hackers With Unique Passwords). Monitor your credit report. Look for bogus transactions or errors in your credit report by routinely checking your report at AnnualCreditReport.com. You're entitled to receive one free copy from each of the three major credit bureaus every year. Stagger your requests and you can check your report every four months. Also pay close attention to credit card bills so you can spot any unauthorized charges. If you've been a victim of ID theft, contact one of the credit bureaus (Experian.com, Equifax.com or Trans Union.com) to file a fraud alert, which will require lenders to attempt to verify your identity before issuing any new credit in your name.

You probably know your phone can pinpoint your location for GPS, local search, or the weather. Hopefully, you also know that means your phone keeps track of everywhere you go, all the time. Don't be alarmed—it's the trade you make for the features you get. If it makes you uncomfortable, here's how to opt-out.
Yesterday, TechCrunch wrote about Google's Location History, which shows you where you were at any point in the day, on any given day, according to Google's location data. The tool is old—Google introduced it back when Latitude was still a thing. Even though Latitude is long gone, the tool lives on. It's important to remember that all of this is entirely opt-in. When you set up a new Android device, or install any Google app on your iOS device, you're prompted to share location data. If you say yes, your information goes into this database—which is also where apps like Google Now look to tell you what the weather is where you are, bring up your boarding pass when you arrive at the airport, or display currency and language conversion cards when you land in a foreign country.
However, if it does unsettle you that there's this much information about your movements on a day to day basis sitting in a database where it can be accessed by anyone with your password (or anyone with a subpoena or a sufficiently-legal-looking letter, depending on how Google responds to it), it's easy to turn off:
If You're On Android
If you're an Android user, Google's location services is broken into two features. Location Reporting, and Location History:
- Location Reporting is the feature that gives apps like Google Now, Google Maps, Foursquare, Twitter, and even your camera app access to your position. Whenever an app shows you something nearby, suggests local businesses, or helps you find the closest gas station, it's using Location Reporting.
- Location History is the feature that keeps track of where you've been, and any addresses you type in or navigate to. For example, it's how Google figures out where "Home" and "Work" are so Google Now can estimate your commute time or give you traffic information for those places. Turning it off will still give you traffic information, but it means Google won't try to guess where you're going based on your previous searches.
To disable location reporting or history in Android:
- Open the App Drawer and go to Settings.
- Scroll down and tap Location.
- Scroll down and tap Google Location Settings.
- Tap Location Reporting and Location History, and switch the slider to off for each one.
- To delete your phone's location cache, tap "Delete Location History" at the bottom of the screen under Location History.
- Repeat this process for each Google Account you have on your Android device.
Google makes the process pretty easy and transparent. The downside is that apps like Google Maps and any other Google service that makes use of your location data either won't work, or they'll prompt you every time they want access to your position. If you enjoy location services but don't want everywhere you go dumped into this database, just disable Location History and leave Location Reporting enabled.
If You're On iOS:
iOS users have it a little more complicated. While iOS gives you more control on a per-app basis over who can see your position and when, you don't get as much control over the actual database. You can turn off Google's access to your location data, but you can't wipe its history without visiting the database on the web, which we mentioned earlier (and will get back to in a moment.) First though, you have to turn off access to location services on your iPhone or iPad:
To disable location services in iOS:
- Open the Settings App.
- Scroll down to Privacy, and select Location Services.
- Disable all Location Services by swiping the slider at the top, or scroll down to disable location services for specific apps, including Google and Google Maps.
- Select System Services to deny location data from specific features, like location-based advertisements, turn off Frequent Locations, or disable the "Popular Near Me" feature.
Apple makes the process easy here too. There's a knowledgebase article on the topic if you need to read more, or if you're running an earlier version of iOS. Again, if you disable these features, they'll prompt you every time they want location information, or they just won't work.
To Clear Google's Database on the Web:
Once you've turned everything off on your device, you can empty Google's database of your location right from the location history page we mentioned earlier. Click on the current day, and click "Delete all history" in the left sidebar. If you prefer, you can delete location history from specific days—just select the day in question and click "Delete history from this day."
That's all there is to it. Of course, clearing any logged data on your phone is a bit more complicated than just toggling location services. We have a guide on how to do it, but keep in mind that your Android phone will probably have to be rooted (assuming you don't see "Delete Location History" in the Google Location Settings above), and your iOS device will probably have to be jailbroken for you to do it.
Let's be clear: location services are actually really useful, and make a lot of our favorite apps work the way they do. Before you disable those features, make sure you're not relying on them. Consider whether or not the apps and services you use are valuable enough to you that the information you give up is an acceptable trade. If they are, leave those features on, but if you're not, now you know how to turn them off until you want them.

Southwest got an early defensive stop and then ran away from Northampton on Friday night.
Southwest got an early defensive stop and then ran away from Northampton on Friday night.
After stopping the Jaguars in Southwest territory, the Stallions got a 60-yard touchdown run by DaMonta Winbush and never looked back en route to a 50-6 win over Northampton in the NCHSAA 1-AA East Regional semifinals.
Second-seeded Southwest (12-1) will visit top-seeded James Kenan (13-0) next week in the regional final, with the winner advancing to the state championship game. James Kenan beat fifth-seeded Red Spring 68-41 on Friday.
Northampton (11-3), in its first year after the consolidation of Northampton-East and Northampton-West, was the third seed.
�We were ready to play,� Southwest coach Phil Padgett said. �The kids have been very focused the last few Friday nights. Obviously we beat a very good football team, but I really thought we would score in the 30�s and score four or five touchdowns. I felt if our defense played well we would hold them to a couple.�
The Stallions did more than that.
Southwest was led by Winbush, a junior, who rushed for 118 yards and 2 touchdowns on 8 carries while senior quarterback Shak Pershey added 77 yards passing and a touchdown to go along with 2 rushing touchdowns.
Meanwhile, the Stallions held the Jaguars to just 186 yards of total offense.
�They are a great team,� Northampton coach George Privott said. �I hope they represent the East in the state championship game and win it all.�
Early on it looked as if the Jaguars would be competitive.
Northampton took the game�s opening drive from its own 21-yard line to the Southwest 40. However, the Jaguars turned the ball over on downs after losing 1 yard on first down, throwing an incomplete pass on second down, gaining 7 yards on third down and gaining just 1 yard on fourth down.
�We were trying to surprise them by coming out of the flex bone because I knew they would be ready for the wishbone,� Privott said. �But they were more disciplined than what I thought. Most times an aggressive defense like that overplays the option.�
It didn�t take long after the stop for the Stallions to set the tone.
On Southwest�s first offensive play, Winbush took a handoff and darted 60 yards for a touchdown to give the Stallions the lead.
�It was like the hole was wide open and I just had to get in and go,� Winbush said. �It woke everybody up and showed them that we can move the ball on them.�
Winbush�s long run played into Southwest�s game plan.
�We wanted to get them down early,� Padgett said. �We felt if we got them down early, we thought they were the kind of team that would have a hard time coming back.�
It sure was as the Stallions would extend their lead.
On its next possession, Southwest got a 2-yard touchdown run from Pershey that capped a 10-play, 84-yard drive that lasted 3:57. The drive was highlighted by a 7-yard run by Winbush to the Northampton 41 that saw him continue to churn up yards while being dragged by three defenders and having his helmet ripped off his head.
�We just ran off-tackle,� Winbush said. �We just kept pounding them.�
In the second quarter, Pershey added a 1-yard touchdown run that was set up by a blocked punt that gave the Stallions the ball at the Jaguars� 19.
On the next Southwest drive, Pershey threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to senior Jide� Brown while Winbush ran for an 11-yard touchdown on the Stallions� following possession.
The Stallions then got a pair of field goals from Nick Matics � who will be the starting goalkeeper today for Southwest in the state soccer final in Raleigh � while Erick Buissereth added a short touchdown run.
�The outside was open everytime,� Pershey said. �We would go to the middle and then they would stack the box and we would go outside every time.�
And while the Stallions moved the ball well, the same could be said about the Jaguars early.
Northampton drove inside Southwest territory during each of its first three possessions, only to come away with no points. The first drive ended with a turnover on downs that set up Winbush�s 60-yard touchdown run while the next two ended on punts.
�They were pushing the ball,� said Pershey, also a defensive back. �We would go to the sideline to get a couple of breaks and eventually we got it together. We made a couple of tweaks on the line and forced them to the outside and we got the job done.�
Northampton avoided being shutout when Brian Lassiter scored on a 19-yard touchdown run with 2:09 left in the game. He finished with 73 yards, including 24 yards in the second half.
�They ran a few plays that we weren�t quite ready for,� Padgett said, �but once we adjusted to their speed, we shut them down.�
The Stallions certainly hope to do the same next week when they travel to James Kenan, which like Southwest, is recognized as a state power.
�We are not going in there with a big head,� Pershey said. �We just have to practice well and get prepared for this big game.�
NOTE: Padgett dedicated the win to James Spalsbury, who died Wednesday following coaching tenure at Southwest where he helped coach football and baseball.
�He was one of my main guys in the late 80�s and early 90�s,� Padgett said.

Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has completed construction works for Ayago Game drive tracks in Murchison Falls Conservation Area for the purpose of expanding the Chobe Tourism game drive zone.
According to the Conservation Area Manager, Mr. Tom Obong Okello,
the tracks which were opened are complete and ready for use in the new circuit which is approximately 29 km from the famous Chobe Lodge. The circuit consists of two sections; one along the Nile River making an estimated 10 km length. This begins at 29km point from Chobe along Chobe-Paraa road and ends at the confluence of Ayago and Nile Rivers where visitors who have arranged packed lunch can relax and enjoy the serene view of the wide confluence before embarking on other activities.
Two other points have also been opened which can only be accessed by foot trails to the river. The cars can be parked a few metres before the river banks. Another section of the circuit is situated across the road with an estimated length of 6kmsnaking along the valley with streams and salt leaks which attract a number of animals.UWA management is optimistic that this new spectacular site of tourism adventure will add great value to the visitor satisfaction.

I've often heard that making an album is hard work. Most of my first releases were either started or completely recorded in my bedroom back in Derry. With my latest EP (Training Up My Soul), I had my first taste of tracking live with a band. I could hear the difference. I could feel the energy in the songs.
Making a more official move to New York at the start of 2011, I was very lucky to get together with the same group of musicians that helped me find my feet when I first made a short trip to NY. After two years of playing with the same three men, I was dying to record with them.
Just last week I joked with my producer and good friend Michael Keeney about the recording process of my second EP. I will never forget recording my friend Zarah playing cello in my student accommodation in Stranmillis, Belfast, and then having Michael help me mix the track. It learned me a lot. Thinking back to those recording times, I could never have imagined that my debut album would be made in New York in a world-class studio.
I recently realized just how much travelling around with my guitar is reflected in my music. There are songs that were written in Derry. Some were started in Los Angeles. The majority of the songs were penned in Brooklyn. This album will always make me think of NYC.
My hard-drive is full of live recordings from various shows we have played in the past two years. It's really amazing to listen back to songs and see their transformation from one show to the next. It takes time for musicians to gel. But it didn't take too much time for Jacob, Kenny and Rob to understand Irish sarcasm!
Four days in a studio is not a long time, but we moved fast and kept the energy and enthusiasm up. On the final day all of our live tracking was done, and then we put down some backing vocals. The final few hours I spent with Michael on electric guitars. There is still some work to do but I feel that the hardest part is over.
My first time recording in Brooklyn has passed, but the memories will live on for a long time. Huge thanks to Michael, Jacob, Kenny, Rob, Rebecca, and everyone at Seaside Lounge Studios for making the experience so much fun. As for a release date… check back for updates.
Next Show – May 28th @ 8pm – Rockwood Music Hall (room 1)

As I read this book, I felt bad for Albert Einstein. As a young boy, others teased him about his religion. Albert once said, "They…confirm, even as a child, a lively sense of being an outsider." Even as a child, he did not feel that he belonged. My favorite part of this biography is a note a little girl wrote to him. She told him that he should have his hair cut to look better. It was cute to have a little girl write to an old man about his hair. Albert Einstein was very smart. He discovered that nothing moves faster than light. He was forgetful in his everyday life but he never gave up his hope to continue his work in the field of science. This book is a biography. It tells the story of Albert Einstein's life. If you read this book, you will learn about his childhood, his problems and the things that made him famous.
I recommend this book to elementary students who have an interest in science. It was interesting to find out that a brilliant man, whose work helped future scientists invent the radio and CD players, was famous for his forgetfulness and losing his house keys.

Dry skin and hair can be a very frustrating issue to have and can usually only be resolved with the help of moisturizing treatments and products. These products help to inject moisture into your hair strands and skin where it's needed most, so it pays to ensure that you get as much nourishing power from these great products as possible.
To find out how to make the most of your dry skin and hair beauty treatments, check out these great tips.
Hair and Beauty Treatment Tips for Dry Hair and Skin
When it comes to treating your hair, use deep hair treatments regularly. Dry hair is not a condition that can be cured overnight. It takes a regular routine and consistency when applying treatments to see an improvement in your locks and to then keep your hair at a nourished level.
Face masks are a must for any beauty routine and can really help to nourish dry skin. Because dry skin is so delicate, however, only apply a mask once a week to ensure that you don't dry your skin out further. It's also ideal to make sure the mask has been made to work with dry skin.
Stay away from products, such as toners, cleansers and hair shampoos and conditioners that contain alcohol as they will rob your skin and hair of much needed moisture.
If you see any beauty products that contain rosehip then give them a go. Rosehip is very nourishing for dry skin and contains high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 oils.
To ensure that you don't irritate your dry skin or hair when pampering, use only cool to lukewarm water and don't spend too long in the bath or shower.
If your skin is extremely dry then moisturize it at least twice a day. Applying the moisturizer right after showering when your skin is still slightly damp (not wet) is a great beauty habit to get into. This will trap the water in your skin and boost the effectiveness of your moisturizer.
Always use heat protection products before doing any type of heat styling. Without proper protection from the heat, your locks will only become drier and could become prone to hair damage and split ends.
When selecting your hair products, always ensure that they are made for dry hair. Dry hair products have been designed so that they won't strip your hair of essential oils and to help put moisture back into your locks.
When it comes to cleansers for your face and body, try to stick to cream based products. Soap based products will only dry your skin out further.
If you suffer from dandruff and have to use drying shampoos, then alternate your dandruff hair washing routine with a dry hair shampoo so that you can still treat your dry locks while treating your dandruff.
When it comes to choosing a treatment for your hair, try hot oils. The heat helps to open up your hair shaft and allows the moisturizing properties of the oil to be absorbed further into your hair than traditional hair treatments.
We hope these tips will help you to receive the best benefits from your dry skin and dry hair products.

Americans now owe more than $1 trillion in student loans. It's a big, beastly sounding number. But as I've written before, it's disproportionately driven by a smallish slice of learners and colleges.
And it's especially driven by graduate students.
Advanced-degree seekers make up only around 15 percent of all students in higher ed. But they were responsible for a whopping 32 percent of all federal borrowing in 2012-2013, according to a recent report from the Department of Education that breaks out grad students from other borrowers for the first time.
When you stop and consider it for a second, this all makes perfect sense. As a matter of habit, most of us probably think of student debt primarily in terms of undergraduates. But graduate-degree programs are extremely expensive and often don't provide much in the way of financial aid. Meanwhile, there's no cap on how much graduate students can borrow from the government. So they end up as a small but mighty segment of debtors.
That's cause for both relief and concern. On the one hand, the less debt undergraduates are piling on, the better, since they're the most likely to have trouble paying back their loans. On the other, there's no reason to celebrate the ridiculous cost of grad school. And beyond that, there's a good chance the government will end up having to write off a large chunk of these debts. Today, former students who enroll in an income based repayment program can have their loans forgiven after twenty years. The idea was designed as a safety valve for undergrads who leave school with high debts and low salaries. But, judging from the limited information we have available, it's likely attracting graduate students instead. And, let's be real, our student loan protections weren't really meant to be a windfall for JDs, or, for that matter, graduate schools themselves.
A quick hat tip/clarification: New America's Clare McCann noticed this story when the Department of Education's numbers were first released last month. If you look at both our posts, you'll notice the numbers are different. That's because of the government's recent revisions.
We want to hear what you think about this article. Submit a letter to the editor or write to email@example.com.

Fire warning after homes hit by power surge
Residents have been urged to check their electrical appliances following a power surge in areas of south-east Melbourne.
The surge was experienced in the Mount Martha, Mornington and Moorooduc areas between Craigie Road and Bungower Road.
The Country Fire Authority (CFA) says an over-voltage this morning has caused some household appliances to fail.
"While no fires have occurred, some residents have reported the smell of smoke or burning plastic in their homes as a result of the power surge," the CFA said on its website.
Anyone who suspects their home may have been affected by the power surge can follow steps set out on the CFA website.
Editor's note: This story has been updated with new information from the CFA after a spokesman had earlier suggested that almost 50 house fires had been caused by the surge.

TUSCULUM, Tenn. - Junior forward Michael Tankersley came through in the clutch for the Georgia Southwestern Hurricanes Saturday afternoon as his last second shot lifted GSW past the Tusculum College Pioneers, 66-65, in Pioneer Arena.
GSW jumped out to an early 21-12 lead ten minutes into the first half but couldn't seem to separate themselves from a resiliant Pioneers squad that continued to keep the contest close.
Southwestern used nine first half points from junior forward Matt Shaw and 57 percent shooting to take a 28-23 advantage going into halftime.
In the second half, Tusculum used red hot shooting from the field in order to take their first lead of the game, 38-37, at the 13 minute mark.
GSW countered the second half Pioneer offensive attack by excellent free throw shooting. The Hurricanes were 13-15 from the free throw line in the second half and finished the game shooting 84.2 percent (16-19).
Tusculum held a slim 63-61 advantage at the two minute mark off a made free throw by sophomore forward Neal Spinks, when sophomore guard Alan Arnet's three point play helped regained the lead for GSW, 64-63.
Two free throws by TC's Keith Jumper gave the Pioneers a one point advantage before Tankersley's game winning layup with no time left on the clock gave GSW a thrilling 66-65 road win.
Tusculum shot 60 percent from the field (17-28) in the second half led by 19 points from freshman forward Keith Jumper.

The past two weeks of Celebrity Apprentice have been epic, starting with Nene and Star's massive brawl and ending with, well, Meat Loaf and Star's massive brawl. In the middle we have laughter and tears — but mostly tears, thanks to Mr. Loaf's highly emotional turn as Project Manager. Nearly everything caused him to bawl on camera, a wondrous sight that reminded us of how many layers of crazy this spectacular season has. It almost makes you forget the Warwick-Busey era. Almost.

CELEBRITY APPRENTICE PHOTOCAP: Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Busey
I haven't recapped Celebrity Apprentice in three weeks, and I must say sorry to everyone because this show remains the best thing on TV right now. If I had to choose between a new episode of Mad Men or Celebrity Apprentice, I'm going with Celebrity Apprentice. (Make me choose between it and 30 Rock and then we've got a Sophie's Choice going on). Anyway, what have we missed in the past few weeks. Ummmm…. everything? Dionne Warwick got fired and managed to exit in the typical Dionne way: a.k.a. grousing and bitching about someone else in her nasty old lady style.
The week after that, the celebs raised an astonishing amount of money to the tune of $1.6 million, which is practically unheard of for this show. Call these stars D-Listers, but this was some serious cash. In the middle of it all, Meat Loaf had an epic meltdown that will live on forever in YouTube infamy. We also lost Jose Canseco, which was too bad because I was really gearing up to see his prima dona behaviors get the full Trump treatment. Richard Hatch got fired too, which was inevitable but fine by me. He had provided great sparks in the beginning of the season but had become all but useless by the time he left.
CELEBRITY APPRENTICE PHOTOCAP: Camping Is In-Tents!
Celebrity Apprentice continues to be the single best reality show on TV right now. Even though last night's boardroom was a bit of a bust, the episode was thoroughly entertaining, with rifts and simmering tensions brewing in every corner. The challenge was simple. Actually, scratch that: it was rather murky. The teams had to outfit RVs with materials from Camping World, a company that specializes in camping (but not worlds). I wasn't clear if the intent was to promote the RVs or the purchased items, and I wasn't totally clear if the RVs were even something available for purchase from Camping World. Nevertheless, I knew that the teams had to ultimately impress the company's CEO, and that's all that really mattered. Continue reading
CELEBRITY APPRENTICE PHOTOCAP: Circus of the Stars
It did not disappoint. After several weeks of promos that promised to bring "crazy," the fourth iteration of Celebrity Apprentice premiered last night, and it. was. amazing. This is what reality TV is all about: that combustible mix of people doing ridiculous things all for our enormous entertainment. After just fifteen minutes, I knew Celebrity Apprentice was going to be one of the very best shows of the year, and I have a hard time thinking it could possibly go anywhere but up. In many ways, eleven years of modern reality TV have led us to this very point: the brilliance that is Celebrity Apprentice. Continue reading
