Ruby Sparks
A modern, indie take on "Pygmalion" mixed with a bit of "Weird Science," "Ruby Sparks" is a bundle of ideas that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining. Tonally confused, the film is about a successful writer named Calvin (Paul Dano) who is having trouble starting his second book. Feeling alone and neurotic (in a slacker Woody Allen way), he dreams of a mysterious girl and begins to write a novel based on what he foresees a relationship with her would be like. One morning he is in a rush to get to a meeting with his editor when he realizes his dog needs to be taken out. A female's voice comes from the kitchen. "I'll do it." Before he can comprehend what he's actually heard, he realizes that the woman he's created on paper is now standing in his house. Her name is Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan) and she is (quite literally) the girl he dreamed up.
Much of the early part of the film is Clayton trying to figure out if Ruby is real. After realizing that other people can see her - including his brother Harry (Chris Messina) - he is convinced she is flesh and blood. He also realizes that he can change who she is by simply adding details to the book he's writing. If he states "Ruby is fluent in French," Ruby will begin speaking French. If he says she is "effervescently happy all the time," she will be. At one point, the "real" Ruby seems to be drifting apart from Clayton so he writes that she misses him. Suddenly, Ruby can't be away from Clayton for more than a second. If she isn't physically attached to him she drowns in depression.
And this is the theme of "Ruby Sparks." How far can we go in creating the person we want to be with? And at what point do we allow them to be themselves and accept them for who they really are? At the beginning of the film, Clayton tells his therapist (Elliot Gould) that his dog has all these idiosyncrasies and he doesn't think people will like him. What he's really saying is he doesn't think anyone could love him. So he creates someone that does. Likewise, his hippie-dippie mother (Annette Bening) lives with her lover (Antonio Banderas) in an oversized wooden retreat, smoking pot and crawling into tree houses. Clayton tells Ruby that his mother was never like this until she met her current beau, suggesting that the lover might have (in a way) created who his mother is now. Someone he can love.
In that, "Ruby Sparks" plays on the conventions of how we fall in love, how we change and/or manipulate people into being what we want them to be, and how we finally have to let them be who they are. This is what "Ruby Sparks" does well. What it stumbles a bit with is the fact that what seems like a quirky and whimsical comedy actually plays a bit more serious and even a bit creepy toward the end. Rather than a rom-com score, Nick Urata's "Phillip Glass-esque" soundtrack gives the film a brooding, off-kilter feel that isn't as light-hearted as you might expect. In fact, the entire concept is so light that it throws you off-kilter when it starts getting unnerving.
Writer and star Zoe Kazan has a clever script that could have worked on a mainstream level, so it's curious as to whether directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris ("Little Miss Sunshine") gave it the weird tonality it has, or if it was written that way. Regardless, there is a lot to like. Dano is good in his role, if not expected based on other characters he's played. Kazan is her most charming here and truly gives the character a depth and tangibility that makes us care about her - even though we're not sure if she's truly real or not.
The script itself isn't as funny as one might expect, but there are sequences that elicit some chuckles and the ominous third act finale is pretty fascinating. There's even some genuine emotion that bleeds out of the proceedings even though we get no real answers about Ruby's creation and the ending is a bit too pat.
Regardless, I found myself wondering where the film was taking me. And although I predicted the final scene, the rest of the film wasn't so easy to figure out. In fact, I'm still trying to run it through my head to make sense of some of it. And for that, I am grateful. I can feed myself. I don't need someone to do it for me.

Outlook 2010: Star Trek Online
Gus Mastrapa: The notion of a massively-multiplayer online game set in the Star Trek universe is an appealing one. Who, after all, hasn't daydreamed about commanding a Federation starship or bedding a sexy Orion slave girl (OK, maybe that's just me). So right off the bat, Star Trek Online has serious potential to make nerd fantasies come true. Of course, we thought the same thing about Star Wars Galaxies way back when. And we all know how that turned out. If you were a Betazoid, you'd sense that I feel cautiously optimistic about Star Trek Online.
John Teti: It's not just Gus. I, too, have wanted to inhabit the Star Trek world since I first started watching "The Next Generation." It's a dream long deferred: While there have been a few decent Star Trek games here and there, there has never been a great one despite decades of trying. But so what? Batman: Arkham Asylum showed us that past performance is no guarantee of future results. If they finally got Batman right, anything can happen. To employ my own gratuitous, barely applicable Star Trek reference, I am getting a strong tricorder reading of hope that this MMO will be the journey into the Final Frontier I've always wanted.

The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Good book to teach about segregation. It can be used to show that sometimes in society there are norms or implied rules that sometimes are not just or right, and it's ok to question things and be a critical thinker. Authority isn't always correct.
This book is about how two little girls one white and one black struggle to understand the racial struggles that are in her world.
This book was very well written. I enjoyed it a lot. One reason why I liked it was because of the simplicity of the text. Everything is stated in a way that makes it so easy to understand. We live on one side of the fence. They live on the other. And then later on, when Annie (the white girl) is sitting on the fence, she so factually states that no one told her not to sit on the fence. I love the simplicity of everything.
I also love the character development in the book. Clover (the black girl) starts off being somewhat wary of Annie. As she sees her more often, her wariness grows into curiosity. In the end, I love how Clover befriends Annie despite what her other friends think.
The main idea of this story is that friendship is stronger than any conflict, such as segregation.
Age 4-7
This book expresses a force that divides blacks from whites, and shows the personalities and emotions of her two young children, one African-American and one white. As the girls, both instructed by their mothers not to climb over the fence, watch each other from a distance but eventually both girls look past their parents racism and becomes friends and accept each other for who they are as an individual and that there is no difference between the two.
This story is about children from all different walks of life who can not comprehend why there are being separated by fences. they eventually come together and find a way to make the fence into a positive instead of a negative. I would recommend this to children ages 3-6

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399231161, Hardcover)
Clover's mom says it isn't safe to cross the fence that segregates their African-American side of town from the white side where Anna lives. But the two girls strike up a friendship, and get around the grown-ups' rules by sitting on top of the fence together.
With the addition of a brand-new author's note, this special edition celebrates the tenth anniversary of this classic book. As always, Woodson moves readers with her lyrical narrative, and E. B. Lewis's amazing talent shines in his gorgeous watercolor illustrations.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:00:37 -0400)
Two girls, one white and one black, gradually get to know each other as they sit on the fence that divides their town.

The life support keeping Hummer alive is going for another shallow breath. The Hummer H2 has suspended production.
This is not too much of a surprise in the industry because Hummer has been in trouble for a while now. General Motors has been looking to offload the brand since the high gas prices of last summer. That was before everyone's credit hit the skids, making it even tougher to buy the expensive SUV.
The H2 was the largest civilian Hummer being produced after the H1 bowed out in 2006. Now the Chevrolet Colorado -based H3 as the lone Hummer left in production.
This is not a really big surprise after all. We knew already Hummer was in big trouble, and big cars are not the future. In conclusion the H3 production has been halted and 200 workers are without work.
"What we are doing at considerable difficulty and expense to the company is moving all eligible employees from the H2 workforce into other parts of the company — finding them jobs," said Mac Nab. "That will start to happen at the beginning of March. Some of the older employees have already been moved."
There is no info yet on when or if the production of the H2 will be started again.

WAUKESHA, WI (WTAQ) - It was a year ago Sunday when the Golden Guernsey dairy plant in Waukesha suddenly closed.
School districts throughout southeast Wisconsin scrambled during a weekend to find new suppliers for their students' milk. And according to state officials, employees are still owed $1.6 million in pay and benefits.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says some of the 112 former employees are owed $25,000 or more -- including vacation pay, matches for their pensions, and other pay. The workers did receive final paychecks, but a court is still deciding whether to order other penalties for allegedly violating the state's plant closing law.
The law requires a 60 day notice for most closings and major layoffs.
Golden Guernsey filed for bankruptcy just days after the plant shut down. In May, a trustee arranged a sale of the company to Lifeway Foods of suburban Chicago.
The company had hoped to reopen the plant by the start of the New Year, and bring back at least some of the old Golden Guernsey workers.
A public relations firm says the new owner now expects to finish its reopening preparations by the end of the month.

Governor Dayton addresses a joint convention of the Minnesota legislature at his 2014 State of the State Address
Remarks of Governor Mark Dayton – As prepared for delivery
State of the State Address
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
When I ran for Governor four years ago, I promised "A Better Minnesota." Tonight, I can report that the state of our State is better – much better -- than before. It's better for us, and it's better for those who will inherit it from us. But the economic growth and social progress we have achieved, also reminds us of the work we still have left to do.
Becoming a parent introduces a longer-term perspective. We begin to consider the effects of our actions not only on our own lives, but also on lives that will extend beyond ours.
Becoming a grandparent, as I did a year-ago, thanks to my terrific son and wonderful daughter-in-law, Eric and Cory Dayton, who are in the gallery tonight, adds another generation to that timeline. It also raises the stakes.
Somewhere down the road, my grandson and his generation will assess the state of the state we have left to them. They will decide whether we, through our actions or inactions, made their lives better. Let's keep them in mind, as we choose our state's path.
In my first State of the State, three years ago, I said, "I know what we must do to create that better future for all of us. To progress, we have to invest.
"We have to invest in more jobs. Invest in better education. In improved transportation. In the health of our citizens, our communities, and our environment. In the transformation of government services."
In other words, we have to invest in growth, quality, and effectiveness.
Well, we invested in jobs. Minnesota's private sector and public sector both invested in jobs. We are blessed with so many outstanding businesses, located everywhere in our state, operating everywhere in the world – and who, during the past three years, rediscovered that they can be successful and profitable here in Minnesota. As a result, we have the 5th fastest growing economy in the country.
There are more than 2.8 million jobs in Minnesota today. More jobs than ever before in our state's history. 150,000 more jobs than when I became Governor three years ago.
This economic growth is happening all over our state. A recent newspaper story was entitled, "Lots of jobs find a home on the prairie in southwestern Minnesota." It said that, for example, Jackson County reported a 5 percent increase in jobs during 2013. The City of Jackson's economic development coordinator is quoted saying that, "Everybody who is able to work, and willing, is probably employed."
Jackson's largest employer, AGCO, has doubled its workforce to more than 1,300. Nearby, HitchDoc, which manufactures automotive and farm equipment for 300 customers, has grown from a dozen employees to 140. "And I'm looking for another 30," said the company's owner, Brad Mohns. "I'm turning down work, because I can't find enough employees."
Some people believe there is no role for government in private sector expansion and job creation. To see that they're mistaken, just look around Minnesota.
There would not be a new stadium under construction in Minneapolis without the financial support of the City and the State of Minnesota. 7500 construction workers will have jobs building that stadium over the next couple years. Over one-third of them will be people of color.
Located right next to the stadium will be a $400 million private sector development, the largest in a generation. It will provide office space for 5000 Wells Fargo employees, residential apartments, stores and shops, a hotel, and a new, two-block public park. Its construction will employ another 1000 Minnesotans. And that is just the beginning of the area's revitalization.
International Walk to School Day at Lyndale Community School in Minneapolis
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has announced the recipients of $4.8 million in federal grants for Safe Routes to School. The grants will support Safe Routes to School at 138 schools in 50 communities.
"These projects will help communities increase opportunities for children to walk and bike to school," said MnDOT Commissioner Charlie Zelle. "More students walking and biking means less traffic on the road and in front of schools, improving safety and promoting healthier kids."
Schools received grants in two categories:
MnDOT announced the available grants in December 2013. It received 85 applications and funded 60 applications. The total amount requested was $11.3 million.
All Safe Routes to School grants in this solicitation are federal funds. The infrastructure grant includes a 20 percent local match. Each infrastructure grant includes a resolution of support from the local governing body to ensure community support. No local match is required for planning assistance grants.
Since 2005, MnDOT awarded nearly $15.5 million in federal funds to communities to support Safe Routes to School. The majority of funding—$13.1 million—was awarded for infrastructure projects. The remainder was allocated for non-infrastructure items and activities.
This solicitation used the remaining federal Safe Routes to School funds. Federal funding for the program is now available through the new Transportation Alternatives Program. Safe Routes to School projects occur in all 50 states.
The list of grant recipients is below. More information is available at www.mndot.gov/saferoutes.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad
We are governors from neighboring states and different political parties. We don't agree on everything, but we stand united in our belief that our nation needs a robust Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and together in our opposition to the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to weaken the RFS.
Since Congress enacted the RFS in 2005 by huge bipartisan margins, it has provided the secure policy foundation that rural America needs to continue investments in renewable fuels. Those investments yield excellent returns. They diversify our nation's energy portfolio, clean the air, grow opportunities for businesses, create good paying jobs in rural America, add value to farm products, and give consumers lower-cost choices at the pump.
Big Oil dislikes renewable fuels, and has used its clout in Washington D.C. and at state capitals to thwart their progress. When Minnesota became the first state to require all gasoline sold to contain at least 10 percent ethanol (E10), Big Oil predicted fearsome disasters. They warned that ethanol would clog cars' carburetors and explode their engines, disrupt supply lines causing gasoline shortages, and increase the price at the pump for consumers. None of that happened.
The petroleum industry also claimed that the RFS causes higher fuel prices. In fact, the opposite has proven true. On February 4, 2014, regular gasoline in Cresco, Iowa, a town about 15 minutes from the Iowa-Minnesota border, was selling for $3.44 per gallon. E10 was selling at $3.13 per gallon. E85 fuel, which is 85 percent ethanol, was selling for $2.60 per gallon at the same station - 84 cents per gallon cheaper than regular gasoline.
A recent study at Iowa State University found that, "Feasible increases in the ethanol mandate in 2014 will cause a small decline in the price of E10. Our results should reassure those in Congress and the Administration who are worried that following the RFS commitment to expanding the use of renewable fuels will result in sharply higher fuel prices for consumers."
The Environmental Protection Agency previously estimated that by 2022, renewable fuels would replace 13.6 billion gallons of gasoline and diesel consumption and save motorists nearly $12 billion each year. The EPA also predicted that this displacement of gasoline and diesel would reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 138 million metric tons, equivalent to removing 27 million vehicles from our nation's highways. Ethanol can increase competition and save consumers money, provide real choice at the pump, and drive innovations and efficiencies that are good for the economy.
$986 Million Bonding Bill Invests in Needed Infrastructure Improvements across Minnesota
ST. PAUL, MN – Governor Mark Dayton today introduced a bonding proposal that would invest $986 million in infrastructure projects statewide, creating more than 27,000 Minnesota jobs1. This new jobs bill would help addresses many of the state's critical infrastructure needs, while strengthening Minnesota's economy and getting people back to work.
"My proposals will put thousands of Minnesotans to work throughout our state," said Governor Dayton. "This bill gives priority to projects that are ready to go. Many of them have been delayed for years and are crucial to revitalizing downtown business centers, modernizing MnSCU and U of M buildings and classrooms, and improving parks, roads, and local infrastructure."
Regional Civic Centers and Downtown Improvements
The Governor's bonding proposal invests over $104 million in downtown areas and regional centers statewide – projects that will create jobs, attract additional private investment, and support economic development in communities across Minnesota. Some of those downtown investments include:

Minnesotans depend on their roads, bridges, and highways every day. Minnesota businesses also require access to good roads as they move goods and services to market. Recently, Governor Dayton and the Minnesota Department of Transportation announced that ten highway construction projects will receive funding through the state's new $300 million Corridors of Commerce program. These new projects will reduce travel times and improve safety for Minnesota citizens and help businesses transport their products more efficiently.
Governor Dayton understands that in order to achieve a world-class economy, we must prioritize investments in our metro area transit system.
That is why the governor's budget includes a commitment to a multi-modal transit system that will give Minnesota a competitive edge for growing business and jobs, drawing new talent, and serving the transit needs of a growing and aging population. In support of Governor Dayton's increased transit funding is Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke.
Governor Dayton:
I write to express the support of the Shakopee City Council for your proposal to increase the sales tax for transit purposes by 1/4 cent in the seven-county Metropolitan Area. On Tuesday, February 19, the City Council and I voted to support this proposal. We share your belief that the development of a complete and competitive transit system in the Region is key to its long-term economic competitiveness and vitality. The development of a complete and multi-modal transit system in the Twin Cities Region will also be of great benefit to the Region's workers and residents. The $200 million per year your proposal is expected to generate is essential to completing important rail, LRT, and BRT projects in the Region, as well as assuring that areas like Scott County can continue to expand local and express bus service that will help to best utilize the investments in regional roadways. In Shakopee, we have been committed to the beneficial expansion of transit options that serve our residents and businesses. Most recently, this has been expressed in the partnership between the cities of Shakopee and Prior Lake, and Scott County. This partnership led to the creation of the BlueXpress in July of 2007, a commuter service which has continued to experience among the greatest rates of growth of any regional bus service provider (9% increase in 2012). We look forward to working with you, your office, and the Legislature on the implementation of this important proposal.
Brad Tabke Mayor, City of Shakopee
Today, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, and Metropolitan Council Chair Sue Haigh were joined by a group of mayors and county commissioners at a Capitol news conference urging legislators to support Governor Mark Dayton's proposal to increase Minnesota's investment in transit.
Joining Rybak, Coleman, and Haigh were Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, Eagan Mayor Mike Maguire, West St. Paul Mayor John Zanmiller, Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke, Savage Mayor Janet Williams, and Golden Valley Mayor Shep Harris. In their words, Governor Dayton's transit plan: "would create a 21st century transit system in Minnesota, which is critical for job creation, economic prosperity and our ability to be globally competitive."
This afternoon, Office of Higher Education Director Larry Pogemiller will meet with college students in Winona to discuss student debt, and Governor Dayton's plan to increase higher education funding – including $80 million in direct financial aid to students. The governor's proposed investment in the Minnesota State Grant Program would help make college more affordable students like Rahel Theodros. Under the governor's plan, Rahel would receive an additional $1,200 in direct student aid. More information about Rahel's story is attached and below.
Later today, Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson will visit with hospital administrators and medical professionals in St. Cloud. Commissioner Jesson will discuss health care investments in Governor Dayton's budget proposal, and other strategies to reform Minnesota's health care system.

Winona Daily News
William Mann: Budget proposal helps make college possible for some
As the president of Saint Mary's University, one of the three institutions of higher education that call Winona home, I am compelled to speak for our students and families and commend Gov. Mark Dayton for making quality, affordable college education a priority in his most recent budget proposal.
Particularly meaningful among the priorities he has laid out is a 25 percent increase in funding for the Minnesota State Grant program. The state grant is a need-based state award which offers low- and middle-class students at Minnesota colleges or universities an annually renewable grant for tuition, books or living expenses while attending college. The program benefits students attending both public and private institutions of higher education.
The proposed increase to the state grant would help even more low- and middle-class families pay for college. According to the state Minnesota Office of Higher Education, current grant recipients would see their grants increase by an average of $300 per year. And 5,000 additional students would become eligible to receive grants. Many of these newly eligible recipients come from middle-class families that earn $50,000 or more per year and are ineligible for the federal Pell Grant.
In Minnesota, infrastructure improvement is one of the most critical issues facing the state's transportation system. Extreme weather, the age of the system and competing investment needs results in roads that are in great need of maintenance and improvement. In 2011, approximately 700 miles of Minnesota's highways were classified as being in "poor" condition. Despite dedicated pavement investments, the miles in "poor" condition were projected to steadily increase to 1,900 by the year 2020.
In response, the Minnesota Department of Transportation worked with Governor Mark Dayton and the Minnesota Legislature to establish Better Roads for a Better Minnesota.
The Autism Help App assists individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other disabilities to communicate and regulate in emergency situations.
Two years into his administration, Governor Mark Dayton is making important progress toward building a Better Minnesota by working to provide sustainable options to safely move people, goods, services, and information.
The success of Minnesota's economy depends on a transportation system that safely and efficiently gets people and goods where they need to be. Our roadways, bridges, and rail systems are continuously improving thanks to Governor Dayton's strong leadership. In addition to strong physical infrastructure, Minnesota citizens and businesses need affordable access to the high-tech infrastructure that drives our global economy, including high-speed internet in every corner of our state.
The Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities (DDC) at the Minnesota Department of Administration has developed a free award winning mobile device application that helps individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) communicate in emergency situations.
Using a proven 5-point, color-coded scale, the Application can be customized for an individual or family. In an emergency situation, a parent's calming voice can explain what to do. For example, in the case of a fire, the App shows a picture of a safe meeting place and the parent's voice instructs the individual to go there. The 5-Point Scale was created by Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Beth Curtis of Hamline University, which is a nationally known and accepted system, widely used in public schools.
This mobile tool is designed to be simple and user friendly. To date, more than 16,300 people have downloaded this App.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base of a 22cm loose-bottom cake tin.
Using hand-held electric beaters or a food processor, whisk the eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt together until pale and light. If using a food processor, transfer mixture to a large bowl.
In another bowl combine the dry ingredients, then sift them gently on top of the egg mixture. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. When incorporated, add the oil a little at a time, folding it in after each addition.
Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for 30-40 minutes until risen and springy. Turn out onto a rack to cool.
When the cake is cool, mix together the icing ingredients and pour over the cake. The icing will set quite quickly so spread it with a spatula before it sets. If you like, dust with a little icing sugar before serving.
Cook's tip
This cake is made with oil but it has a light texture and crumb and is fragrant with cinnamon which makes a nice variation from regular run-of-the-mill chocolate cakes.
Gluten-free version
Use a blend of 1/3 cup buckwheat flour, 1/3 cup tapioca flour and 1/3 cup glutinous rice flour in place of the regular flour. Add ½ tsp xanthan or guar gum.

Breaking Bad 05.07: Say My Name
You actin' kinda shady, ain't callin' me baby. Spoiler after the jump.
Mike's death scene was gorgeous — magnificently done, albeit a touch self-consciously so — but, thinking back on it, I'm not persuaded that the lead up to that set piece was constructed with as much care as the scene itself. My concern isn't with the narrative, as Sepinwall's is:
Why does Mike, pro of pros, sage of sages, exemplar of all that is wise and patient and level-headed on this show, repeatedly shoot down offers of help from a man he likes and trusts in Jesse, then readily accepts the aid of a man he has every reason in the world to dislike and distrust?
Because the show needed him dead, that's why — and because the script couldn't be finessed in some way so that Walt was literally Mike's only option, or that Walt in some way conned Jesse into letting him be the delivery man without Mike knowing until it was too late.
I didn't have those questions, and I still don't, really. I accept the path the show led me — and Walt and Mike — down. But I don't think Mike needed to die. It was pointlessly fastidious storytelling.
It would have made a lot of sense for Mike to have been the one guy from the whole story who got away. He knew what he was doing. He was careful. He had his plans laid out. Even though he was rattled — more rattled than we've seen him on the show — he knew what to do when he got Walt's call informing him the police were on their way. It would have made sense that this guy could have slipped away and vanished the way he intended.
But the show has fallen into a pattern, I suspect, of mandating that all narrative loose ends be tied up. Which means characters can't slip away — they have to have their story ended, on screen — and usually with great violence.
That's usually a good thing. Real life can have tales that ramble for eternity; fiction is for definite endings. But, just like serial shows in which the hero can never die, and so his increasingly improbably escapes end up feeling like cheating, a show that insists its world is totalizing, that characters can only leave in a bodybag, is similarly cheapened.
Mike could have got away. What the show wants to do, I suspect, is deal with the aftermath of his death. To do that it had to actually kill him. But just because the writers of Breaking Bad want to proceed from some point, it doesn't mean it necessarily makes sense for them to lead up to that point. The dance was beautiful, but, for once, you could see them counting their steps.

Avril Lavigne co-wrote her hit single "Here's to Never Growing Up" with her husband, Chad Kroeger of Nickelback , and the lyrics contain several references to getting drunk. But the couple says that one of the secrets to their happy marriage is that they actually don't drink...unless they're together.
Speaking to People magazine, Avril and Chad, who tied the knot on July 1 after a year of dating, explain that they try to avoid situations which may lead them into temptation because they spend so much time apart due to the demands of their careers. "We don't go more than two weeks without seeing each other," says Avril, while Chad adds, "And we don't drink when we're apart."
They also don't go clubbing without each other. "We don't want to go anywhere that you're asking for trouble," explains Chad. Avril laughs, "It sucks! But when you've got something special, you can't be careless with it." Chad adds, "This is something that we want to cherish and protect." Awww.
Avril's gearing up for the release of her new album on Tuesday, while Chad and Nickelback have a greatest hits disc coming November 19. They'll also be touring -- separately -- this winter, which leads to the question of how they'll find the time to start a family.
"We both want [kids]," says Chad. "We just need to find a time we're both at home to get around to it." Avril adds, "With this crazy lifestyle, you relish the time you can be quiet." When they are at home together in Ontario, they say their favorite activities include watching movies and dining on Avril's home-cooked gourmet meals. "I've never had anything of hers that wasn't restaurant-worthy," he gushes.

Just to preface this, I don't know if anyone else has posted this, so if you have, I'm sorry! I'm posting for anybody with any anxiety, stress, want to cool down from a rough day, or just need background noise to function!
This is a really neat site because you have more than one noise to choose from to listen to. If rain isn't really your thing, they have crackling fire and breaking waves, and it's just really relaxing. And you know what's the coolest part about each noise? You can change the levels. You can slide and switch levels around to have the perfect amount of thunder, or light rain, or crackles in your fire, or foamy sea goodness! Each noise (to my knowledge) has 10 sliders for different sounds within said noise, so you can mix and listen for as long as you need! And if you don't feel like mixing it yourself, there's a neat button called "Animate" which allows the noise to evolve and change itself, so it gives it a little flavor.
It even has some that are specifically catering to mental health and sound therapy.
But really, I encourage everyone to at least try it out, it's just super neat and it calms me down and serves as a nice low noise in the background if I need it for sleep or working on homework.

New Michael Jackson Biography 'Untouchable' Claims Jackson Died a Virgin & Believed in Leprechauns
I sort of thought the next big news to come out about Michael Jackson would be the announcement of his hologram tour, but it turns out there are some fairly juicy revelations in Rolling Stone contributor Randall Sullivan's new biography on the King of Pop. Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson includes a number of fascinating tidbits about Michael Jackson, including the jaw-dropping statement that Jackson died a 50-year-old virgin.
While Untouchable is being criticized as "bloated," "overlong," and full of "the sorts of observations made countless times before," the assertion that he was virtually incapable of molesting children is certainly an interesting one. Even though there is, of course, no way to prove whether Sullivan's claims are correct.
If you'd rather skim the book without actually reading all 704 pages, The Daily Beast has a pretty good roundup of some of the most eyebrow-raising stories about Jackson, including:
• His brothers and father locked Jackson in a room with two adult hookers when he was 15, as a sort of 'intervention' on his perceived sexuality
• Jackson's lifelong obsession with makeup and surgery stemmed from a traumatic teenage bout with acne
• He fully believed in leprechauns
• His first wife, Lisa Marie Presley, never saw him without makeup
• Aside from being underweight, his body was in perfect health when he overdosed
Sullivan also writes that while the details revealed in Jackson's 1993 child-molestation investigation case were "undeniably disturbing," he believes Jackson was innocent. Sullivan describes the $15-million out-of-court settlement as textbook extortion, and says it was Jackson's painful childhood abuse that led him to become "presexual."
It was understood that Michael Jackson sought the company of prepubescent males because he yearned to be one himself. [He] wasn't trying to be heterosexual or homosexual or even asexual, but rather presexual (...) Of all the answers one might offer to the central question hanging over the memory of Michael Jackson, the one best supported by the evidence was that he had died as a 50-year-old virgin, never having had sexual intercourse with any man, woman or child, in a special state of loneliness that was a large part of what made him unique as an artist and so unhappy as a human being.
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this was true. But the thing is, there's no way to prove it now. It doesn't serve to exonerate Jackson from the accusations that still cloud his reputation three years after his death. This book, like most biographies, seems like it simply repackages a bunch of existing facts and rumors into something the author hopes will be salacious enough to boost sales.
While Untouchable may be, as the LA Times puts it, "the most comprehensive effort to chronicle the hot mess of Jackson's last half-decade on Earth," I'm not sure who this depressing account is aimed for. Fans are likely tired of digging through Jackson's tragic dysfunctions, and the rest of us -- well, we don't really care.
Do you think it's true that Jackson died a virgin? Will you be reading this biography?

Cathy TaylorNovember 20, 2012 at 1:38 AMYou'd have to be a moron to believe that Michael Jackson was a virgin! There aren't many virgins out there that have 3 biological children! And I agree with Connor Livingston, Michael had many sexual songs that you can tell were written from experience, Michael himself has said the song Dirty Diana was the true story of a groupie which he had personally experienced...not to mention the sensual way he moved on stage! This book is total B.S.

I have no interest in this book. I just wanted to point out that it makes me really happy to see TheStir posting about a book (any book) that isn't TWILIGHT/50SHADES crap. You know... That's a category up there ^^, where you can click on a topic. TheStir->Entertainment->Books. For an incredibly long time there haven't been any posts about any books... Just the two same books that are badly written junk, and one happens to be fan fiction of the other. Way to go Stir. You finally got your head out of the sand and posted a book related post in the BOOK SECTION.

I just have one thing to say...Michael did NOT die a virgin...if any one of you failed to see the *Lisa Marie Presley* Interview with Oprah, she did in fact say that their marriage was consumated. Also, he would never or could never harm a child...so you all have to stop with these stories...they are affecting his family to this day...people are so cruel. A true Loyal Fan...oxxo RIP little buddy

P.S. Debbie Rowe also said their children were conceived the old fashion way, same as a billion children in the world...why is this so hard for people to believe...They are the picture of their father and Debbie together...the both of them. and Blanket is the spittin image of Michael. So BACK OFF

- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/29/2014Great pre-fixe menu at lunch. There were so many entree options it was hard to choose but once we did we were all very pleased. Portions were healthy, food tasted great, and great service. Not cheap but the pre-fixe made it worthwhile.
- Food is always good at the Redeye.FoodmavenVIPDined on 9/22/2014Excellent food and service at this restaurant. The cocktail lounge is a great after-work experience as well.Special Features:
- A total let down!scjordiVIPDined on 8/29/2014They were short staffed on a Friday night. Service painfully slow, but they did comp our drinks to try to make up for it. The food was the biggest disappointment. It seems like they use cheaper ingredients....the jumbo lump crab was definitely not jumbo crab, although the 3 shrimp were large and good but not worth $42. The risotto was bland as was the crispy tuna sushi roll. The management tried to make things better for us and it seemed other tables too. Unfortunately, you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.......we won't be back!
- Very disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/28/2014Room is sectioned. We were only table in the section looking at 12 empty tables. Soup (bean) and salad were excellent. Lobster pot pie not good and $58. Service was spotty. Waiter at times confused.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/28/2014Dependable food and service. Great location. Nice to have a Manhattan spot that is reliably good, and offers a range of option, including (of course!) excellent fish. Also nice to have a place where tables and diners are not so close together to allow you to participate in other peoples' conversations! We were surprised at the poor quality of the bread offered before dinner, but otherwise a solid experience. Perhaps a bit overpriced...I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant evening at Red Eye GrillleniVIPDined on 8/23/2014A most pleasant experience. White table cloths, an assorted menu, good wine choice by the glass and even half bottles. Matzo ball soup in a miso broth was excellent as was the halibut. The server had great personality and was helpful re dietary needs. Being next door to Carnegie Hall makes it a good pre-theater venue. A most pleasant evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spotJimboDined on 8/22/2014Never been disappointed there. Expansive seating...excellent food...fabulous desserts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Location. Location. LocationSid70Dined on 8/16/2014You pay for the location and outdoor seating. The food was average at best. The service was very goodSpecial Features:
- Reliable, as alwaysboyartistDined on 8/15/2014My out of town guests were very pleased with The Redeye Grill. The staff was so friendly and sharp. The atmosphere was elegant, but casual and comfortable. Most importantly, the food was excellent. I have always enjoyed this restaurant, and will definitely return.Special Features:
- Great Seafood!drjlopezVIPDined on 8/15/2014We had read about their seafood appetizer for 2-3 so we had a salad and had the appetizer as our meal and my wife and I could not finish the appetizer because it was so large. The seafood was fresh and excellent!Special Features:
- Always consistentJoePVIPDined on 8/14/2014As always, consistent & excellent In everyway. This has become a favorite for myself & co-workers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not What It Used To BeLoveFoodDined on 8/13/2014After more than a year visiting Redeye, the space looks great, but the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered salads and sandwiches and they took so long to arrive that the server even apologized. One sandwich order came incorrectly prepared and the lobster cobb salad was tasteless. The room was half full on a Tuesday afternoon at 12:45....I now understand why.Special Features:
- Food not as goodLuv2eatDined on 8/10/2014Each year I come to New York and dine at Redeye. I noticed a change in the caliber of food this time. It might have been a fluke but my stay in the City is so short that I would have to reconsider my dining reservations next year.
- No for lunchtravel4meDined on 8/9/2014Steak frites was the worst meal for lunch I've ever had in NYC It came disguised with lots of sauce, which i immediately scraped off. It was so salty that, even though I tried to eat from the other end, it was not to be. It was so tough that the steak knife could not cut it. Manager came over and gave me another replacement. Sauce on the side. Didn't matter. I don't believe I should have to saw through this meat which was an extremely low cut of meat. Iced tea was so weak. Guess there was a shortage of tea bags. This meal was $48. (Are they kidding?) This is a tourist trap. Should have gone to Marseilles.
- Great lunchkmc81Dined on 8/9/2014We enjoyed the Redeye Grill as always -- food really very good, albeit expensive. Waiter was charming, helpful and on point (so much so that he ran a block down 7th Avenue to bring me my sweater that I had left in the booth!).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceLoveFoodDined on 8/8/2014We went pre-theater. Sat outside. Patio is above street level which made it very appealing. Attentive service. Rib-eye was excellent. Very good cocktail by their mixologist. I'd go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RedEye Grill never failsScottsdaleJLDined on 8/3/2014We always make a point of eating here when we visit NYC. Food and service is always great. Only complaint is we want to see the Red Plane back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a fabulous find!PartyofsevenDined on 8/2/2014We had dinner reservations for the evening, but four of us stopped in for a mid-afternoon cocktail. It was very attractive from the street and inside is simply gorgeous: very modern, big, and bright in the afternoon, but more subdued for dinner, fabulous atmosphere. Caroline, our bartender, was wonderful: friendly, knowledgeable and she makes awesome French martinis. Appetizers with the drinks were delicious: gorgonzola flatbread and fried artichokes. Dinner was equally rewarding: there were seven of us and we ordered everything from raw bar and sushi to short ribs, chicken, pasta and a huge hot dog...and it was delicious! Gina took fabulous care of us: so friendly, and knew the menu inside-out. And don't skip the marvelous desserts!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service, fantastic food.Hard2pleaseDined on 8/2/2014It's hard to beat this restaurant. Yes it's New York and there are hundreds of restaurants. Red eye grill is consistent year after year. If you're new ask the fantastic wait staff what's good. They will never let you down. If you're a repeat customer I don't need to say anything. You know what you like. Specials are just that special. They have yet to dissappoint. Shell fish is outstanding not sure ask the wait staff they're that good. Oh all most forgot cookies and candy at the reception desk are free!!! And ridiculously good, they don't care if you take a fist full, before and after. All we have to say is thank you again for an absolutely fantastic dinning experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Have always loved Redeye but...OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/1/2014Redeye is a gem! Love the food. Lobster potpie and the banana creme pie are some of the best we've ever eaten. Our problem that night was once we arrived we were told we would have to be out in an hour and a half as they had a "buy-out" of the restaurant at that time. I had made our Opentable reservation weeks in advance and feel we should have been called to alert us to that fact. We were rushed to say the least. It was not a relaxing experience. We will go back (have reservations in a couple of weeks with an out-of-town visitor) but feel we weren't treated in a professional manner that evening.Special Features:
- Terrible ServiceAnneVIPDined on 7/31/2014The service was SO SLOW - we probably waited almost an hour for our first course and another half hour for the main course. Plenty of waiters running around with not that many tables, so it didn't make sense.
- Fabulous RestaurantLennoxDined on 7/30/2014Service and food here are excellent. They have a very welcoming atmosphere and I did not want to leave. It ranks at the top of my list.Special Features:
- Very accomodatingWinstonSalemBelleDined on 7/27/2014Y'all were very accommodating when my spouse asked to substitute lobster for the crab cake on the benedict item at brunch on Sunday. So sorry the scaffolding is up as we could not dine outside.Special Features:
- Dinner in the CityTNTCVIPDined on 7/26/2014Visiting midtown was hectic and the Redeye Grill was a welcome respite. Big airy room, brisk service with added cheese biscuits and oatmeal cookies brought t the table by the captain were soothing and sublime. THe wine list was solid and the food was fresh and flavorful. Our waitstaff made solid suggestions and were spot on. Price was comparable to other fine midtown places and we would gladly return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- never disappointsSparkyVIPDined on 7/24/2014Our service was outstanding, the food was terrific, and we were able to get out in plenty of time to get to our show on time. Always delicious and dependable.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently GoodSocialEaterVIPDined on 7/20/2014Redeye's fare is consistent--good. I took 5 out-of-town business associates, all of whom truly enjoyed their meals. The big hit at the table were the watermelon gazpacho, which was simply delightful and the lobster lasagna.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DCdinerDined on 7/19/2014Food was delicious and well presented. Waiter was excellent, attentive yet unobtrusive.Special Features:
- Great Flavor, Ambiance, and ValueeatingoutfreakDined on 7/19/2014While visiting New York City recently, I remembered a wonderful experience from the RedEye Grill from years ago when I often traveled through that great city. So, I made a reservation for this trip! It was a beautiful Saturday evening, and we could eat out of doors and it was just a lovely experience. My friend ordered their fabulous Caesar Salad, and I ordered the Sesame Tuna over grilled brussel sprouts and greens. It was cooked to perfection, and it melted in my mouth! I ordered one of the finest Long Island Ice Teas in all of NYC in my opinion! Next time I am in the city, I fully intend to visit again!Special Features:
- Nice room.MideastMikeDined on 7/19/2014Only complaint was oysters and clams were small and tasteless. Rest of seafood was excellent. Pricey. But fun for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, service and ambiance!2foodiesDined on 7/18/2014Great find for choosing on line. We were in New York from Baltimore to see Cabaret. We enjoyed the ambiance, our great meals and the service was impeccable. Our waitress Gina was very personable and attentive and while speaking with her we learned she was also born and raised in Baltimore....what a coincidence. She moved to NY to follow her dream of acting and succeeded! Would highly recommend the Redeye Grille for a great pre-theatre dinner or for any occasion. Again a good find and thanks Gina for the great service and good conversation!Special Features:
- Great FoodBlandVIPDined on 7/18/2014I have eaten here many times and when I recently had the pleasure of enjoying lunch w/my son, we were not disappointed. I had the lobster roll special and my son had the braised short ribs. Both were excellent. We had an early lunch, 12pm, and enjoyed the excellent service and quiet atmosphere. The noise level picks up with additional diner, but never above a conversation diminishing din. Redeye Grill still a great open and airy place to enjoy great food, service with friends or family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Top TenReginaDined on 7/14/2014This restaurant is on my top 10 list. Food is always delicious, service is always tops and the entire staff makes you feel welcome.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/11/2014My husband ordered the Ribeye and it was very flavorful and cooked perfectly! We would definitely go back on our next visit to NYC.Special Features:
- Catching the last flight?SirEatzALotVIPDined on 7/9/2014I have been going to Redeye grill for over a decade, but hadn't been in a few years and I feel a bit dissapointed. The food was delicious as always, but the place seemed screaming out for a makeover. On a Wednesday night at 7 PM they were maybe at 75% capacity. The service was pleasant but our waiter seemed to vanish for long periods of time, leaving us a bit frustrated. It is still a good spot for a business meal, group, or pre-theater, but I doubt I'll be back for any other reason.Special Features:
- upperwestsiderDined on 7/8/2014The service was good, and the food decent but extremely overpriced.

Of course, it was July 4th, so the restaurant was not crowded, but the service was friendly and generous, the food perfect. An expensive evening, but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Is Bunge Losing Steam or Poised for Another Rally?
Shas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Bunge (NYSE: BG) sells grains and fertilizers to farmers, processes the farm output and sells oil products to consumers. Sugar and ethanol used in bio-energy account for approximately 10% of sales. Agricultural commodities are 66% and food oils account for about 15%. The stock has returned 25% in 2012 and has already appreciated by another 5% in 2013. On the back of such a rise, investors are wondering whether the stock has leveled out or is still on course for another rally in 2013.
Impact of US Drought and Soybean Deficit
The 2012 U.S. soybean crop amounted to 3.015 billion bushels according to the USDA annual production report. This is lower than the 3.094 billion bushels that was harvested in the previous year. Diminishing soybean supplies have affected margins for meat producing companies that use soy-based animal feed. Bunge, one of the major oilseed processor may benefit from a global shortage of the soy crop as demand for livestock feed has remained surprisingly strong, regardless of high corn and soy prices.
A strong geographic presence in South America, where this season's production of soybeans and sugarcane is looking strong, offset by drought conditions in the U.S. still works in Bunge's favor. Bunge with its various resources can purchase and distribute grain where it is necessary.
By marshaling its global grain supply chain network, the agribusiness giant has doubled its quarterly profits in spite of the worst U.S. drought in more than 50 years. It also managed 15% volume growth in its agribusiness segment during the third quarter, assisted in no small measure by its new grain-handling and port facilities.
Sweetheart Deal with Yara
Bunge's Brazilian fertilizer business raked in revenues of $2.6 billion in 2011 and an EBITDA of $77 million. It was announced that Yara (NASDAQOTH:YARIY), the world's biggest maker of nitrogen-based fertilizers, will buy the Brazilian fertilizer business of Bunge along with its brands, warehouses and 22 blending facilities. It has also agreed to a long-term supply deal with Bunge while retaining its port terminal in Santos. The sale happened more because Yara made a good offer for the assets rather than Bunge's need to sell off. This deal works pretty much like an operational lease, where the assets are owned by Yara, but Bunge is assured of the output.
Strides on the Bio-Diesel Front
Bunge will take over full control of biodiesel producers Mannheim Biofuel GmbH in Germany and Novaol Austria GmbH in Austria through its Switzerland based unit. Formerly, both the two biodiesel plants were operated by a 60:40 JV between Diester Industrie SAS, the French biodiesel major, and Bunge. Now the company is acquiring its partner's stake.
- Estimated EPS growth is over 40% on a year-on-year basis.
- The stock is trading at a price to book value of less than 1, for a company with a strong asset base.
- Though the stock is trading at a price near its 52 week high, it still has been at a relatively low P/E of 13, whereas the industry average is upwards of 30, making the valuations very cheap for a high growth stock.
- Dividend yield is slightly on the lower side at 1.41 but is pretty good when compared with the industry average of 1.5.
- The estimated five year growth rate is also a high 17.5 compared to a sector average of 7.
- Return on equity for Bunge is also a decent 8.06, which is much better than the industry average of 6.5.
Competitive Environment
On the competition front, of the famous four majors popularly known as ABCD (Archer Daniel Midland (NYSE: ADM), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus), the latter two are privately held. ADM and Bunge don't have much to choose from, as both companies operate at a margin of 2%, though ADM is a much bigger firm, generating revenues of $88 billion, compared to $62 billion by Bunge. The major difference is in the trading P/E where Bunge trades at 13 and ADM trades at a much higher 20, which again shows the relatively cheaper valuation of Bunge. Moreover, ADM, which has a much larger presence in the U.S., has struggled lately with the jump in U.S. corn prices due largely to the drought last summer, and this has put heavy pressure on margins in its ethanol division.
Bunge has 36% of oilseeds processing capacity and 60% of port capacity located in South America, and we believe it is uniquely placed to take advantage of the continued growing demand for protein in Asia. Seven out of 12 analysts following the stock have recommended a BUY or OUTPERFORM rating, and we are also of the opinion that it is one fundamentally strong stock available at low valuations.
