This ain't your grandma's "Sleeping Beauty."
I love doing the news for BGH. I really do. But I hate waking up in the morning to do it. Waking up early is a white people thing. "Hey Bruce, what'ya doin' today?" "Why, I'm getting' up early, Steve!" You never hear Mexicans talk like that. As a Mexican, I can tell you from experience that the only thing a Mexican gets up early for is free taco day at the food stamps office. That's where I was this morning! Andele! Arriba, arriba! (shoots two pistols into the air)
Jason Momoa has been signed to star in Marcus Nispel's upcoming reimagining of "Conan The Barbarian".While I am excited that a new Conan flick is on the horizon, don't you think he should look more like a Boris Vallejo painting and less like a dreadlocked hippie douchebag playing guitar while selling vegan burritos outside a Widespread Panic concert?
It looks like "Ghostbusters 3" is going to be in 3-D. Well, that's disheartening! Is sad to think that a movie of this legendary comedic pedigree, in order to sell it to idiotic audiences in this day and age, needs to resort to this irritatingly faddy 3-D upsurge. What's next? Justin Beiber as the newest recruit? A ghost who Tweets? Slimer relaxing with a Kindle??
Sam Jackson and Josh Duhamel are supposed to star in the next big angels vs. demons horror-thriller "Sympathy for the Devil". In other news, Asylum has started rolling on the similarly-themed "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" starring Mario Van Peebles and Chad Lowe.
Music industry has-beens Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie, in a bid to gain some sort of opportunistic relevance, are coming together to write and record a new version of "We Are the World" for the victims of that Haiti thing. How much you wanna bet the Black Eyed Peas are gonna be on the front row? That's gonna date it quicker than a Cyndi Lauper solo! Instead of wasting your time caring about the redux, why not instead enjoy this highly offensive version from a Japanese variety show?
Want something that's going to haunt your nightmares? In Turkey, a sheep gave birth to a lamb...WITH A HUMAN FACE! AHHHHHHGHGHGH!!!! Isn't this a sign of the end times in the "Book of Revelations"??? If not, it should be!
Meet America's first legal male prostitute! He's a "well-read college dropout" who charges $300 an hour. Hey, I'm a well-read college dropout...how come I can barely get a free lunch out of my clients? Oh, yeah...the gut. I forgot. :(
In 1992, Rebel forces occupy Zaire's national radio station in Kinshasa and broadcast a demand for the government's resignation. Then, if that weren't bad enough, things got really dicey when Brendan Fraser and his band, the Lone Rangers, force the DJ to play their demo tape on the air in a bid to get a record deal.
Last night, I bought a bag of candy corn at Target and, somehow, ended up eating the whole bag. While it is relatively guilt-free treat (it's a fat free candy!), when I woke up at 4 AM, with sugary foam and dried wax-like candy bits clogging my throat while throwing up orange-syrupy goo, I realized just how much I actually hate candy corn. I still have no idea why I got it. (Of course, as I type this, I just put a stray piece of corn that I had dropped on the floor last night in my mouth.)
The big news today? That the much jizzed-on "Paranormal Activity" goes wide, and all thanks to the 1,000,000 of you that took the time to vote online! Sure, we're in the middle of two wars, the dollar is becoming useless and we are on the verge of eating our pets, but, hey, entertainment reigns supreme! The best thing about this massive hype? I can't wait for the sure-to-come backlash now that everyone can see the movie without having to resort to midnight movie theatrics. For more info, click here. To join the Army, click here.
What's the other big news on every single Goddamned horror movie site? In a just posted Twitter, Wes Craven thinks that Kevin Williamson's "Scream 4" script "sounds fantastic". In other Craven/Twitter news that hasn't made it to the news sites yet, today he's eating "tomato soup for lunch...again", "hates traffic on the 405" and wants to know if you've heard about "that krazy balloon boy in Colorado".
According to Variety, "Universal Pictures has set Chris Messina to star in "Devil," a horror-thriller based on an M. Night Shyamalan story that will be directed by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle." I have no idea who Chris Messina or the Dowdles are, but if M. Night Shyamalan has something to do with it I AM THERE. That man is a cinematic genius. Just like Rob Zombie.
OK. So the real news is this a-hole family, the Heenes. They live up the road from me and it was exciting to watch the balloon escape right from my backyard, penis filling with blood at the hope that, at any minute, a child will tragically come falling out of the flimsy cardboard basket. And that was before we found out they were media whores who appeared on "Wife Swap" and put their kids in a music video called, ahem, "Not Pussified"! My advice to young Falcon? Keep trying to reach the stars, son! UPDATE: The boy just vomited on the Today Show!
Midget wrestlers Alberto and Alejandro Pérez Jiménez-- aka La Parkita (Little Death) and Espectrito II, respectively--were found dead in a hotel room after they were poisoned and robbed by a pair of devious hookers believed to be part of an organized crime ring of murderous prostitutes. I FUCKING LOVE MEXICO.
In one Chicago area high school, 115 girls are preggers. That's 1 out of 8. My (jimmy) hats off the to graduating class of Louis Fowler Memorial High School!
In 1916, Margaret Sanger founds Planned Parenthood. This puts the former birth control clinic, Kick Your Whore Ass Down the Stairs, Inc., quickly out of business.
Sometimes you have a slow day, and you just can't conjure up any material for the ole' blog. Then, there are days like this....as reported on Blabbermouth:
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

This has been in the works for several weeks…I ordered Claire's dress from an Australian company and it finally arrived on Friday! The trunk has been in our basement, moved here from my grandparents' house. I am pretty sure they moved it from Scotland and it hadn't been opened for 60 years? Inside this box, we found a myriad of treasures, including Nicholas' "captain's" jacket. Mike was such a great sport for carting everything down to the reservoir for me…and a big thanks to Kathryn for lending me some props.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) voted Wednesday to impose countervailing duties on imports of certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from China, reflecting government subsidies of between 10.36 and 15.78 percent.
"This is a great victory for the industry and its workers," said Roger Schagrin, counsel to TMK Ipsco, V&M Star L.P., Wheatland Tube Corp., Evraz Rocky Mountain Steel and the United Steelworkers union, among the plaintiffs in the trade case.

The other day I was browsing YouTube, like I frequently do. I usually ignore whatever advertisements are on the homepage, but for once there was one that caught my eye. It was advertising an all-electric vehicle for approximately $21,000. It also had a statistic that said 112 MPGe. I had no idea what this meant, but since I will be graduating from college soon and would like a new vehicle, this ad was music to my eyes. "SOLD!" I proclaimed as I clicked on the ad.

Anyone got one? Are they really the **** that everyone says they are??
I'm thinking of the L or XL.
Anyone got one? Are they really the **** that everyone says they are??
I'm thinking of the L or XL.
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Bullets are cheap. Life is priceless.
I don't have one but I have heard great things about them, from there ability to go low and slow for long periodsOn less than 10lbs of lump it ran at 220 for 15hrs, ramped it up to 270 for another few hours to finish off some burnt ends and cook some boneless skin less chicken breast. I knew of the Egg's ability to hold temp (although the 15hrs was longer than I expected) but what really blew me away was the moisture that those breast retained. Seriously some of the juiciest chicken I've ever had.To how they can get hot enough to cook pizza.I went 28 hours @ 250 dome temp and had PLENTY of lump left to go another 8 hours.
The only negative thing I have heard was they can crack, so be very careful when moving your BGE. As for size I've heard of people cooking 4 butts on a large using, but if you have the room and extra money I would go for the XL.When I start prepping for pizza, i fire the egg up first and I let the temps run away for a bit at first to get the stone REALLY hot. The egg goes 600-700 and then I damper down to about 550. i tell its tone by tossing a bit of cornmeal on it it starts to toast right away, and i brush it off. when ready with the pizza(on a peel), I cover the stone with some cornmeal and slide the pie onto the stone. At 550-600 pies are done in about 8-10 minutes.
Hope that helps.
get a table to go with it.
I BELIEVE I'll have another beer!
I've heard Bobby Flay rave about them, and he's a guy who'd know about those things. Plus you see them alot on the BBQ circuit. But they aren't for everyone.
my co-worker is a huge egghead. had three of those things, large and small, til he gave one away to his dad.

I BELIEVE I'll have another beer!
XL weighs 205lb....holy hernia!
Went and checked 'em out at Barbeques Galore today. Big bucks, Maynard.
The damned thing is the American Girl Doll of the barbecue world. It's quality is EXCELLENT, but your initial expense can't possibly be limited to the smoker itself. The Large Egg is $800. Then they really get you with all that accessories you,ll need...like a stand (you can't just put it on the ground, man!)$195, cast iron cooking grates (comes with ceramic-covered wire grates that, while adequate, are cheap **** for the amount you're spending for the thing) $95, a couple of shelves to hang on it at $45 each, a cover at $40' the indirect-heat platesetter (rrequired if you want to go low and slow with it) $99' and the extended cooking rack so you can smoke ribs for $35. Out the door, you're looking at $1200-$1400.
The XL is $300 more to start, but I can say I don't think I'd need one that big. Though the extra internal space would be nice to smoke more ribs at one, vertically. Meh...
It's not something that's going to wear out, though. Aside from having to replace the felt seal once a year (plan on it due to wear and weather), there isn't much you'll have to do besides shovel out the ash...and there is significantly less of that because the thing burns super efficiently due to the amount of control you've got over the air intakes and exhaust. It's got a lifetime warranty, too...so this thing is really a long-term backyard cooking solution. It may be even something to build a real outdoor kitchen around.
Still...too rich for my blood right now, by far. Maybe when I upgrade to Captain...
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Bullets are cheap. Life is priceless.
Here is a knock off from Home Depot, Kamado Pro Charcoal Ceramic Grill-B4TV31BV3 at The Home Depot, includes stand, shelves, and a cover for $699.
1) I have a pizza stone for the oven in the house. No wood fire flavor, but its $17 dollars at Surl la Table.
2) Got the Mangrate the other day for the gas bbq grill outside. The thing works great. Perfect daimond sear marks on the steaks. I used it with the cherry wood smoker box and it was awesome.
Total investment
Pizza stone- $17
Mangrate- $30
Smoker box- $5
The BGE just looks a bit too cumbersome(and expensive) for me. I'm cool with my little set up.

Comment: Not Surprising at all (Score 1) 200
"Related: an article at Gizmodo explains that it takes surprisingly little hardware to replicate (at least most of) Netflix's current online catalog in a local data center. "
It's not surprising. It all boils down to the compression algorithm used. By maintaining a library of nearly exclusively B list movies Netflix is able to seed their algorithm with just a few titles like "Plan 9 from Outer Space", "Catwoman", and "Gigli". The rest of the movie files contain quite a bit of material that has a high degree of overlap with these films which allows for heavy compression. Did you know that "Hitch" for example only takes up 6mb when referenced across a library of these 3 films using the netflix compression schema? It's true.

In 2010 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) embarked on a project to accurately measure American broadband. The FCC appointed SamKnows, created a collaborative working group and the Measuring Broadband America initiative was born.
Fast-forward three years and the project has seen three reports published with a recorded positive increase in the level of performance being provided to consumers by participating Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The FCC are set to continue with this project and are looking forward to publishing the fourth report in this series in early 2014.
In 2013 the FCC expanded the project by announcing the launch of the new FCC Speed Test application, increasing the scope of the initiative to accurately measure mobile broadband. By signing up and downloading the app consumers will be able to take an active part in changing the face of American mobile broadband.
The mobile app is now available for Android and can be downloaded from the Google Play store. The iPhone app is now available here in the App store.
The Fixed broadband project has been so successful that it is currently fully subscribed but we are still accepting sign ups for our waiting list.

What is Foot fungus?
It starts with a seemingly harmless itch between your fingers and starts to annoy you. The itch gets worse and you can't bear it anymore. You're probably having what is known as Athlete's foot, a very common foot skin infection caused by fungus. That fungus is called Trichophyton.
Athlete's foot and Why they call it that way.
Athlete's foot is a commonly occurring skin condition that usually affects our feet and toenails. You may not even know it's there until either it gets worse or you get the affected area have it checked for culture growth until lab results confirm that. This discomforting condition is caused by a fungus that is scientifically called Trichophyton. The reason it started to be referred as Athlete's foot was because mostly this condition would affect sportsmen whenever their feet or other spots of their body would stay warm, wet, and get irritated due to sweat. So it turns out Trichophyton is a type of fungus that actually thrives in that kind of environment making it easier to penetrate the higher layers of our skin. This seemingly harmless fungal infection can take place on almost any part of our body: that includes the scalp, arms and legs, feet, hands, nails especially toenails, groin area where most of the friction and moist take place and even our mouth.
So how does this infection progress to Athlete's foot? It's actually a result of infection by ringworm fungus also known as tinea corporis and the condition might be referred as tinea pedis among medical circles.
Ringworm is a dermatophyte type of infection. Dermatophytes are known as fungi that attack and feed on dead keratin, the upper layer of the epidermis. These are commonly known ringworm fungus:
Microsporum canis
Trichophyton rubrum
Trichophyton mentagrophytes
These fungi are mostly present in tropical environment as well as on floors in gyms, swimming pools, changing rooms, nail salons, in our clothing especially socks. So if you notice these locations have one thing in common: there's moist, wetness, and crowd. These are pretty much ideal for ringworm fungus to thrive. Since the fungus is actually contagious most individuals get this fungus on their feet from sharing slippers, sandals or walking barefoot on places where someone else who had athlete's foot walked. Once it was famously known as "jungle rot" by soldiers during Vietnam war times as they had to endure their feet in army boots creating ideal environment and being easily prone to such type of fungal infections.
It is estimated that up to 70% of our population may acquire athlete's foot at some time during their lives.

SANA BARBARA, Calif. -
The 2004 UC Santa Barbara men's soccer season truly began three years ago when the Gauchos' 2001 recruiting class of Jon Apilado, Matt Bly, Neil Jones, Dan Kennedy, Tony Lochhead and Drew McAthy first stepped onto the pitch in Harder Stadium.
As it enters its final year, the sextet has already cemented its place in UCSB soccer history. The 2004 senior class helped usher in a new era of Gaucho soccer and it has been instrumental in a litany of success: two NCAA Tournament berths, two NCAA shutout wins in the NCAA Tournament, a Sweet 16 appearance, two season-ending top-20 national rankings, two Big West Championships, a 45-13-2 overall record, and 11 All-Big West awards. Suffice to say this group has proven itself on the national and regional stage.
Led by the trio of Kennedy, Lochhead, and McAthy, three of only four players in school history to earn all-conference honors three times, this year's seniors have appeared in, on average, 57 games each in their careers. With over 75 percent of their appearances coming as starters, they give head coach Tim Vom Steeg an experienced core of who have been an integral part UCSB's success.
The experience and leadership of the returnees will be crucial to the Gauchos, ranked 13th by College Soccer News and 15th by the NSCAA in the preseason polls, if they hope to compete for a first-ever NCAA National Championship. More than half of UCSB's 2004 roster is made up of newcomers. Ranked ninth in the country by both Soccer America and College Soccer News, this year's recruiting class will be looked at to fill the void in the Gauchos' midfield left by the departure of Memo Arzate and David McGill.
"Overall, we obviously had some holes to fill and we have addressed them in some pretty big ways," said Vom Steeg. "In terms of the players that we have added, in terms of attacking the goal, and in terms of players we are returning, it is all there. We just have to put it together."
With a roster loaded from top-to-bottom with more talent and skill than any other in Gaucho history, the key to Santa Barbara's success in 2004 will come in its ability to develop chemistry on the field. Fortunately for the UCSB coaching staff, they addressed that issue over a season ago.
"Chemistry is so important to our program," Vom Steeg said. "We have usually been able to address this by recruiting players who are familiar with each other. Part of our recruiting plan always is to try and bring in pairs or groups from the same programs, like we did this season with the [San Diego] Surf, with the guys from the Canadian [U-20] National Team. That's what we did with Neil and Tony three years ago."
Finding a blend of players that works well together is at the top of Vom Steeg's and assistant coach Leo Chappel's list of things to get accomplished before the season starts, because once again the Gauchos will play one of the top schedules in the country, so there is no room for a learning curve. In the second week of the season UCSB travels to the University of Connecticut to take on the former National Champion Huskies and 2003 NCAA Tournament participant Seton Hall. Just a week later UCSB heads to the University of New Mexico's tournament to take on defending National Champion Indiana along with Columbia. When you throw the University of San Francisco into the mix, Santa Barbara will play three matches against one-time NCAA Champions in 2004 and five matches against teams that played in last year's NCAA Tournament.

The Earrings of Madame De... (1953)NYT Critics' Pick
Alternate title: Madam De..., The Diamond Earrings
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
1 Readers' Reviews
October 11th, 20119:08 pm
The Earrings of Madame De...is as deeply moving as the shallow exterior of its frame. The lesson, alas, seems that while women can experience love deeply, for men honor and vanity push love into third place. Max Ophuls' tracking shots prove as breath taking as any ever made and Charles Boyer gives a great performance: pride before love equals tragedy.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
So much rain, so much life like the swollen sky
of this black August. My sister, the sun,
broods in her yellow room and won't come out.
Everything goes to hell; the mountains fume
like a kettle, rivers overrun; still,
she will not rise and turn off the rain.
She is in her room, fondling old things,
my poems, turning her album. Even if thunder falls
like a crash of plates from the sky,
she does not come out.
Don't you know I love you but am hopeless
at fixing the rain ? But I am learning slowly
to love the dark days, the steaming hills,
the air with gossiping mosquitoes,
and to sip the medicine of bitterness,
so that when you emerge, my sister,
parting the beads of the rain,
with your forehead of flowers and eyes of forgiveness,
all with not be as it was, but it will be true
(you see they will not let me love
as I want), because, my sister, then
I would have learnt to love black days like bright ones,
The black rain, the white hills, when once
I loved only my happiness and you.

Police, federal agent shoot armed suspect in North Philadelphia
Police and at least one federal agent shot at a suspect who allegedly pointed a gun at them after he had fired his weapon inside a North Philadelphia city housing project early Monday morning.
The suspect, 31, was shot four times on the 4100 block of Stewart Street, where Philadelphia police, Philadelphia Housing Authority Police and at least one FBI agent caught up to him and a second person, described as a person of interest, 6ABC Action News reports.
Police reportedly believe the suspect, who is in critical condition, may have been involved in a murder in the city's Strawberry Mansion neighborhood Sunday morning.
The incident began before 3 a.m. when the suspect allegedly fired a gun inside the lobby to Blumberg Homes on the 1500 block of Judson Street. No one was injured there.
The suspect may have fired the gun a second time once authorities caught up to him on the 4100 block of Stewart Street, according to the report.

Chicken Little and the "Crisis" of Grid Reliability
The Wall Street Journal published an alarmist piece yesterday depicting California's electrical grid as the victim of a 'looming crisis' brought on by the state's 'growing reliance' on wind and solar. While the success of wind and solar certainly raises new issues in terms of how to plan and operate the future electrical grid, the article overstated the severity of the problem California currently faces.

We're living all the benefits and the chaos of the globalization era. One of the most important features of Lomography is that it gives you the opportunity to go out and discover any cool and hidden spots of your town/city, just at this moment in which it's rapidly changing and evolving.
If you live in a large town or city, you've surely noticed how rapidly urban environments are growing and evolving. Suburbs have become incredibly close to the center in the few last years, becoming part of it: this phenomenon is due to both the increase of public transports and the really fast expansion of the suburban areas. This kind of evolution changed the face of many European cities, including mine.
The moment in which I started to shoot analog coincided with the period when I got to know my city well. It might seem stupid, but only with an analog camera that I really started going out and discover every single hidden spot of my hometown, while trying to make some analog shot.
As I stated many times in my previous articles, I think that the most amazing (and) storytelling part of street photography is people who live in a town/city: they are the most important characters in street photography shots, because they interact with elements of the panorama and they don't have a secondary role in the beauty of the place (they're a part of it).
People tend to evolve with the same speed with which buildings and suburbs evolve. You can watch some old pictures and see how much different human habits were just a few decades ago: the ability to make differences between the past and the present is one of the main reason why photographing is cool.
Lomography is a great mean to document the evolution of our world, even though it's too fast for us; a picture could seem really bad to you today, but someday it will tell someone how life was like in this period of rapid changes in our environment.

DIY Sailor's Knot Doorstop & Paperweight
Design Sponge
We've written about similar doorstops with fairly hefty price tags in the past so we were happy to see this Sailor's knot doorstop tutorial that was recently posted over at Design Sponge. Summer hobby, anyone?
This project will run you about $8 for rope, compared to similar items costing upwards of $40. Sure, there is a little bit of a learning curve, but the end result is pretty rewarding. Check out the full tutorial and see lots of photos of the whole process on Design Sponge.

This is actually a Monkey Fist, not a sailor's knot. Of course to non-mariners I guess all sailor's knots are sailor's knots.
Well, I've seen monkey fists used on boats. So I'd say that makes it a mariner's knot.
My boyfriend makes dog toys from these! Just use a tennis ball as the core! It's not super easy to make a money's fist, though...not a beginner's knot.
Yes, I really need a huge wad of rope to prevent all my heavy books from blowing away!
Wow to HollyCow. You indeed will be getting a large lump of coal this Christmas to keep those heavy books in place. However my roomate is a ship captain and I am sure he is going to love these, I can't wait to make them.

But she's got a clear vision of how it would smell: "Citrus, cucumber — light. Nothing too crazy — I'm not a big strong-perfume person."

Well, we have to remember that his whole world was turned upside-down when he was like 9, just a kid. As Nadine said, he just needs love. Imagine being ripped away from the person you love most in the world, and then she comes back (kinda) but then you find out that she IS there, of course you would do the same thing. Of course he cried, Wanda just kinda reminded him how his entire family was taken away from him, and then she refused to answer if his sister was still left inside, or dead. And the hugging part: he just got his sister back, who he thought was gone forever. Of course he's messed up, that's a lot to take in for a kid, he just needs some time to realize that this time nobody will be taken away from him, because they're safe again.

In a new commentary in the journal JAMA Surgery, Dr. Eli Adashi recounts what he and other advocates saw as merits of the originally bipartisan Sustainable Growth Rate Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act of 2014. The perennial trouble with how Medicare pays doctors will return in the 114th Congress, and broader trends in health care practice that the bill attempted to address will remain just as strong.

11 Precious Gem Names
Popular during the late Victorian era, precious gem names are now back in vogue. Admire our selection of cherished comebacks, as well as some new up-and-comers, and find the perfect fit for your little jewel.
A steadily popular name for several decades—Amber was everywhere in the 1980s and '90s—the name now, surprisingly, makes for a subtle, alternative choice to Ruby or Pearl. Both a color and a gem name, Amber sounds pretty, without being flashy.
French for "jewel," Bijou can also be spelled in its plural form, Bijoux. Also popular, perhaps, among small, privileged pets, this feminine name has a sophisticated sound that merits consideration as a creative choice for a baby girl. Model/actress Bijou Philips is its best-known pop culture namesake.
This unisex name's meaning refers to the rare stone's color: "pomegranate." Used occasionally during the first wave of gem name popularity, in the late Victorian era, January's birthstone is back as an appealing, unusual option, especially for boys.
Jade is a popular girl's name in both the United States and France. Originally a boy's name, it's set to make a unisex comeback as a short form of the now-ubiquitous Jaden. The birthstone for the month of March, the green gem is reputed to bring forth wisdom, protection, and courage.
Of Persian origin, meaning "bringer of treasure" or "speckled stone." Jasper also describes a type of quartz. Rising fast on the charts, it's a definite hip-parent pick, and is bound to continue climbing since its appearances in the crowd-pleasing Twilight series. With its appealingly rugged, masculine feel; this is a solid choice for a jewel-inspired boy's name.
As a technical note, Jett's a mineral, rather than a gem; it's also another good option for a boy's name (hip girls, too). Meaning "black gemstone," as per the expression "jet-black," this unisex color and jewel name feels current, and seriously cool.
This Hebrew variation of Michael also describes the metallic, mineral sheen found in rocks. Just about to crack the top 100 when spelled with an H on the end, this unisex name also makes appearances as Mycah.
Opal derives from Sanskrit, and means "gem," but it's also a type of iridescent, precious stone. Used as a boy's name in its initial heyday during the late Victorian era, this lovely name now lends its full-bodied sound to girls, more often than not. Bewitching and mysterious, Opal is not yet one of the big comeback gem names; it's a nice choice for parents looking for something current but hoping to skirt around the big trends.
A beautiful gem that comes from the sea—mollusks make the silvery-white beads around pieces of sand that slip into their shells—the pearl is also associated with the moon, and has long been a symbol of purity. Alternate spellings include Perle and Pearle; however you spell it, its sound—like the jewel—is perfectly pretty.
A hugely popular name in the UK, Ruby is making a comeback in the US, as well; July's deep red birthstone is a recent celeb-parent favorite name for baby girls, and is climbing steadily nationwide. (It rose to a mere nine spaces from the top 100 in 2011.) It's no wonder: Ruby sounds classic, confident, and cool.
The "fire" sound contained in this beautiful name gives it a bright, bold sound. Of Hebrew origin, Sapphire hasn't, historically, caught on as a popular moniker, though; the Biblical Sapphira offended God by lying, and met with death as a result. Now that gem names are back on the map, however, September's beguiling birthstone is poised to claim its rightly fame as a vibrant, gorgeous girl's name.

"Why I Lost the Weight"
Before: 165 Pounds
Pages in this Story:
- "I Did It!"
- Nikkol's Weight-Loss Plan
"I Did It!"
Name: Nikkol Gomez
Age: 30
Height: 5'3"
Her weight before: 165
Her weight after: 120
Pounds lost: 45
Time at current weight: 10 months
Nikkol Gomez's food problems started when she was in the sixth grade. "I was forced to clean my plate at every meal, leading to a regular habit of overeating that pushed my weight to 160 pounds by age 11," she says. In high school, she struggled with an eating disorder. Her weight dropped down to 112 pounds. "I knew my behavior was unhealthy," recalls the 30-year-old preschool teacher, but she couldn't stop -- until she became pregnant at the age of 19. Determined to overcome her eating disorder for the sake of her baby, she ate -- and overate. Nikkol gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy and was up to 165 pounds after the birth of her second child a few years later. "With work and two kids, I felt too exhausted to do any activity other than cleaning the house," she recalls.
Then came her 29th birthday in January 2005. "I resolved to be healthier and have more energy, for myself and my family, by the time I turned 30," she says. Nikkol signed up with Weight Watchers. She also started walking to and from her weigh-ins (four miles) and doing upper- and lower-body weight training three times a week. Soon she was losing a pound or two a week, and after three months, she upped her routine to jogging four times a week. By December 2005, she was running five miles at a time and had reached her goal weight of 120 pounds -- just in time for her 30th birthday.
Nikkol recently completed the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Long Beach, California, a two-day, 39-mile trek to raise money for breast cancer research, a cause that's especially meaningful to her since her mom was diagnosed with the disease last year. "Conquering my eating problems made me realize that I can do anything, even walk 26 miles in one day," she says.

Lana Del Gaga: A Burgeoning Beauty Mash-Up
Unless you somehow managed to avoid the millions of tweets and blog posts about it last month, you are aware that Lady Gaga has embraced a milk chocolate brunette of late, eschewing the more outlandish hair colors she's become known for in favor of a shade of "Louis Vuitton brown," as the singing sensation calls it. But we noticed something about Mother Monster's new 'do, which has prompted her to become altogether more demure, as she sported a chic black sheath dress and minimal makeup to launch her Fame fragrance at Harrods in London today: She looks a little bit like Lana Del Rey. That custom-designed gold claw is still all Gaga, of course, but the back-combed bump, the elongated black cat-eyes, and the layers of lashes scream Lana, thus blurring the often finite lines of pop superstardom image-making. Tell us: Do you like your Gaga with a little Del Rey, or do you prefer her with aqua Rapunzel extensions and a face full of adhesive pearls?

|Product Information
|Fable is designed to offer pure, concentrated role-playing, with a primary emphasis on open character development and influential interaction with the game world. The game begins as the player's character enters the fantasy land of Albion, a growing, interactive environment that develops and changes with each new event. The character grows and changes as well, beginning the adventure as a youth but slowly aging as he or she lives life in Albion, gaining wrinkled skin, graying hair, and (hopefully) becoming quite elderly by the end of the story.
The game is designed such that every choice and action the character makes can have an effect on his or her development. Physically active characters become more fit, while those who spend their time studying the arcane arts may develop receding hairlines. Characters who spend time working in the hot sun will get a tan and individual wounds heal into distinct, telling scars. Less tangible characteristics mature according to behavior as well. Players are free to commit nearly any conceivable action, but acts of cruelty will lead to vilification by NPC townsfolk, while noble and altruistic deeds may inspire loyalty and adulation from the masses.
Instead of focusing on a limited number of scripted "good versus evil" plot points, character development in this game occurs mostly through hundreds of minor day-to-day decisions that gradually come to define and refine the character's place in the game world. In short, role-playing gamers are offered a virtual lifetime of choices to play through. Fable is developed by Big Blue Box, an affiliate of Lionhead Studios, whose Black & White games share the theme of free-form, consequential character development over a broad span of time.
As hinted by the "Lost Chapters" subtitle, this PC port of the original Xbox release features additional quests, characters, and regions to explore, as well as new weapons, armor, and enemies.

Interior: Giant Shower With Unfrosted Glass On All Four Sides Somehow.ANASTASIA STEELE, a busty half-Asian Student / Journalist / Cop-Scientist is showering for five and a half minutes while the Opening Credits Roll. Royalty-free cool-Jazz background music is playing, indicating that something SEXY is happening in 1997 or you're in the bathroom at a W Hotel.
ANASTASIA towels herself off and exits the bathroom. Her roommate KATE, a petite but busty blond 36-year-old college student is laying on her bed in a tight yellow cocktail dress, masturbating. KATE is startled.
Hey there Kate. I see you're having fun.
What can I say, Ana, ever since I started dating Mike, I'm just too hot and bothered all the time, I just want everyone. And I mean… everyone.
KATE lovingly caresses ANA's towel.
ANASTASIA (Lovingly)
Lucky you. Ever since Dave and I broke up, I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever get touched again. Except by you, haha.
Fuck Dave. He was a shit.
ANA playfully pushes KATE'S hand away and they both laugh, then lock eyes. They caress their faces together. The mood turns erotic.
Before we do this, I have to tell you — I've only been with another woman one other time today.

text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- Outside of quarterback EJ Manuel, no other rookie on the Buffalo Bills roster made the type of big plays during the preseason that brought fans out of their seats quite like third round wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. The small, but electric pass catcher doubled as the team's main kick returner, and even brought one opportunity back the length of the field for a touchdown during an exhibition game. Not only his season, but the Bills' return game took a hit when Goodwin fractured a bone in his hand during the first contest of the year. Catching his first pass of his young career during Week One against New England, a Patriots defender hit the top of Goodwin's hand with his helmet as he was holding the ball, and the ball was dislodged. That was the last the Bills saw of their speedy rookie and have been patiently waiting for his return. Getting back on the practice field this week, it seems Goodwin is on the precipice of a return to game action. "Fired up," head coach Doug Marrone said when ask how he felt about the rookie. "You get a guy back there like that, I've always said that when he's on the field, he looks fast and he's had some time to rest. He kept himself in great shape." Not only will Goodwin push for snaps at receiver as the season goes along, but he provides an immediate threat in the return game. To this point, the Bills haven't been able to jumpstart what is normally an area of strength for the franchise. Buffalo has only been able to return four kickoffs and have averaged a mere 18.5 yards per return. Both of those numbers are the second worst totals in the National Football League. Goodwin is looking forward to taking the challenge of potentially flipping those numbers. "Yeah, real excited just to be out there helping my team any way I can," he said. "Kick return is just one of those things. I'm looking forward to going out there and being productive." Most teams have been able to get the Bills to just take a knee in the end zone. However, they haven't gone up against a player that was clocked with a 4.27 40-yard dash. "Yeah, just kick it in bounds and I'll be good," Goodwin joked. If the receiver does play against the Bengals, he may have some good opportunities to help bring up the averages for Buffalo on kick returns. Cincinnati has the fourth lowest touchback percentage in the NFL, only preventing a return 45.5-percent of the time. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

Medieval Orgins: Words and phrases that evolved during the Medieval period
Many of the words we commonly use today have their origins in Medieval times. Here are a few of them. There are many, many more.
AUBRY'S DOG- A Frenchman, one Aubry of Montdidier, was murdered in 1371 by Richard of Macaire. Aubry's dog Dragon thereafter attacked Richard anytime he came near. This excited suspicion of Richard, and he was ordered into judicial combat with the dog. Dragon killed him, and in his last moments Richard confessed to the murder. An Aubry's dog is thus a very loyal or faithful dog.
AUTO-DA-FE -A public judgement against someone tried by the Inquisition was called an "act of faith". The guilty heretic was usually then condemned to burning at the stake (albeit sometimes before the fires were lit they were strangled as a special "mercy"), Church law prohibiting the shedding of blood and all that. The Portugues for "act of faith" is Auto-da-fe, which has entered English as the name for these proceedings.
BALK- Derived from the Old English BALCA, reffered to the ridge between two furrows when plowing. Since the balk was an obstacle, it became used to refer to any obstruction. Baseball's BALK comes from a more obsolete meaning of balk, as in miss, slip, or fail.
BANK/BANKRUPT- In mideaval times Italian moneylenders used benches in the marketplace to conduct business. Latin for bench was Banca, which transferred to English as bank. These lenders were required to publically break up their benches if their businesses failed, the Latin expression being banca rupta-, becoming bankrupt in English.
BARTHOLOMEW PIG- A term used by Shakespeare to refer to very fat people, these people resembling the whole roast pigs served on St. Bartholomew's festival. The festival was celebrated on August 24 from 1133 to 1855. The symbol for St. Bartholomew was the knife, alluding to the one used to flay him alive in Armenia in AD 44.
BEDLAM:- Bethlehem hospital in London was built to house the mentally ill. As most commoners were at best semi-literate, they mangled the name so that it emerged as "bedlam," with the implication of chaos deriving from the insane antics of the residents.
BLAB- First recorded by Chaucer is supposed to be a shortening of BLABBER. BLABBER in turn is said to derive from BLAEBEREN which means to chatter or spill out lose talk.
BLACKMAIL- Sixteenth century Scottish farmers paid their rent, or mail, to English absentee landlords in the form of WHITE MAIL (silver money), or BLACKMAIL (rent payment in the form of produce or livestock). The term blackmail took on a bad connotation only when the greedy landlords forced money poor farmers to pay much more in goods than the they would pay in silver. Later, when robbers along the borders demanded payment for passage and "protection" the farmers called this extortion blackmail as well.
BLUE BLOOD- The Moors in Spain (or moops according Sinefeld's George Castanza) were much darker in skin tone than their Spanish adversaries. The Spanish began to distinguish themselves by referring to themselves as -sangre azul- or blue blood. This simply refers to the fact that their lighter skin allowed the veins to show through blue. This was later borrowed to apply to all European nobility.
BLUE RIBBON- The Most Noble Order of the Garter had as its badge a dark blue velvet ribbon edged with gold that was/is worn below the left knee. Inscribed on the ribbon is the motto -Honi soit qui mal y pense- (shame to him who thinks evil of it). Popular legend says that the words were spoken by Edward III when dancing with Countess of Salisbury. She lost one of her garters and he slipped it upon his own leg to save her embarressment uttering those famous words. When he established the Order of the Garter around 1344 the blue ribbon awarded with the appointment became known to represent the hieghest achievement in the field. And has carried over to mean the same to this day.
BONFIRE- A pagan festival held in England during the summer was celebrated by burning in huge piles the bones of livestock slaughtered during the past year. These "bone fires" continued into christian times being celebrated on St. Johns Day, June 24. And were still held up to 200 years ago in remoter areas. By the 16th century bonefire was changed to bonfire and referred to any large fire.
BRIBE- A bribe is a sinester thing today but it didn't start out that way. In 14th century France alms given to a beggar were called bribes. Soon beggars began to DEMAND such alms, when it reached england about 100 years later it came to mean "to extort or steal". Within another century it came to mean instead of extortion,"a voluntary inducement to get someone to do something for the giver" which has endured to this day.
CURFEW- Despite the modern perception, Medieval cities were actually rather well regulated places, with municipal ordinances governing many aspects of public life to maintain order and safety. However, even the best maintained cities were mostly built of wood, fire was a constant danger, and most cities experienced a devastating fire every few decades. To help provide some protection against fires, many cities required that fires be banked at night. On his first rounds of the evening, the night watchman would remind all the citizens to cover their fires. In Old French this was covre feu, which became coeverfu in Anglo-French after the Norman Conquest, courfeu in Old English, and eventually our modern "curfew," with the meaning of a limitation.
DOGS OF WAR (or war dogs). War dogs of the middle ages were especially fierce and trained to kill men, as in Shakespeare's phrase "Cry 'Havoc!' and loose the dogs of war." They were a varity of mastiff. Wardogs were brought over to the new world by the Spanish were especially devastating to the locals. They would use the dogs to execute natives as they saw fit, the natives not being Christian had no rights.
FREE LANCE- A knight --or other man-at-arms-- without ties to an overlord, and thus "free" to accept employment where ever he found it, a mercenary.
GLEE- As in "being full of glee" or "glee club," derives from an Old English verb gleek,
meaning "sing." One can actually encounter gleek itself, in its only modern English usage, in one of Shakespeare's comedies.
HAVOC- A medieval war cry signifying "no quarter."
LANCE CORPORAL- On long, arduous campaigns it sometimes happened that a man-at-arms lost his horses, and was compelled to fight on foot. As he was more than a common footslogger, he was usually placed in command over low born troops, as a "[Broken-] Lance Corporal"
MAUDLIN- Another attempt by Medieval Londoners to pronounce a hospital name, this time it being "Magdalene."
"RING AROUND THE ROSEY . . . ."- The "nursery rhymn" actually refers to the Plague. An early sign of the disease is a reddish swelling. The "pocket full of rye" part refers to the belief that rye was a charm against the disease. The last two lines, "Ashes, ashes, all fall down" refer to burning the bodies of everyone who's died, which will shortly include you.
TO BEAT BLACK AND BLUE- Originally the colors were BLAK and BLA when first recorded in around 1300. Bla being the bluish-black color of the human skin when bruised.
TO BEAT THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU- Derived from the original phrase/threat "I'll let daylight into you!" Which referred to using your sword or knife on the offender. As these weapons fell out of use the phrase we know came to be. When examined it makes no literal sense in the form we commonly use today.
TAWDRY- On the Feast of St. Audrey it was common to give as gifts little trinkets --religious medallions, charms, and such-- of no great value. As a result, the phrase "a St. Audrey" came to mean something cheap, which eventually, became "tawdry."
Other words of Medieval origin have not survived into the 20th century (at least not as well as those mentioned above.) The following words can be tossed any conversation you happen to have in a "Medieval manner."
MAMMET- This can be a puppet, or it can, in religious parlance mean an idol, something which distracts the soul from God. From a medieval English corruption of the word Mohammed. variation of "maumet" meaning a false god or idol, a figure of contempt. Used as a generalized term of abuse or contempt.
MOLDWARP- A mole and is English in derivation, literally meaning "one who shifts/moves (warps) earth (mold). A stupid, shiftless person Pronounced moodiwart.
PIGNUT- A northern English word, defined as an "earth-nut". Variation of "earthnut" meaning (among other things) a truffle.
PUTTOCK- Can be either a prostitute or a "greedy ravenous person". Also any of several birds of prey including the buzzard.
SCUT- Can be either a rabbit tail or, as an adjective, it can mean short. "Scut work", is a common term in the military. Scut work is not pleasant. Originally the tail of an animal, especially a rabbit or deer. also: posterior, female genitals, a contemptible person. The military use refers to the sergeants desire to see nothing of his men except their backsides (as they bend over to dig trenches, or whatever.)
WAGTAIL- A profligate woman, a wanton woman, a prostitute.
CLOTPOLE- Composed of "clot" meaning fool or oaf and "pole" referring to the male genetalia.
