This time on tips and tricks, we'll be showing you the step by step uploading process of how to get your videos online to quite a few different video-sharing sites.
[Music Playing]
There are a lot of different format requirements for uploading to video-sharing sites.
[Music Playing]
In this case, we'll be uploading to YouTube, so we can go ahead and render our file as mpeg2, as that's what they recommend, but most video-sharing sites can handle multiple types of video. Rename the file so it's easier to locate later on.
[Music Playing]
We login to our account and click the upload link. Click video file as quick capture is for webcams. We then select the clip that we want to upload. Now, as our file begins to upload, we can fill in the description box to tell the audience what our video is about. We save our changes and let our video upload.
Once the video is uploaded, there are many different parameters that we can set for our video: Privacy – Here, we can decide whether to share our video with the world or restrict it to a select group of YouTube friends; Comments – This is where you can decide how you want comments to work, ranging from let anyone say anything they want down to no one being able to comment at all about your video. You can also allow people to vote on the comments, deciding whether or not they're useful; Video Responses – This selection allows you to decide whether to allow video responses to your own video or not, much like commentating, but in a video rather than text form; Ratings – This allows you to turn on and off the star rating system that allows people to rate your video from one star to five stars; Embedding – This allows you to decide whether you want to allow other sites the ability to embed your video in their own web pages; Syndication – This will enable YouTube to show your video on other devices, such as cell phones and video on demand; Date and Map – This interesting feature allows you to add the date and place that the video was shot into the YouTube database. This data ends up on a variety of interesting place, such as Google Earth and lets you view videos shot at a certain location.
When our video is finished, we go to our clips by clicking to the go to my videos link and wait for it to finish processing. Once it's finished, our thumbnail shows up and we check to make sure our clip is uploaded properly. And it looks like our video's been uploaded. So, let's continue to move on to another video-sharing site.
[Music Playing]
Now, let's take a look at Vmail.
Again, to upload a video, just click the upload link. While we check the settings to make sure that we're using the right format, you will notice that H.264 should be used for our codec and AAC for the audio. For the video size, select 1280 x 720 for all high definition clips. Vmail allows you to upload and view clips in high definition, making them much nicer to watch, but you'll need a faster network connection to see them smoothly. What's nice about Vmail is that it gives us the expected time of our uploads and the tag box so we can write down a couple of items that viewers might be searching for and it will lead them to our video. Once it's done uploading, we again go to my videos to check it.
[Music Playing]
It looks good and since we've inserted the tag video maker, now when we go to the search engine and type in video maker, the first video that pops up is ours.
Once again, some of the options we can set for our video lie directly to the left side of our screen. Privacy – Again, deciding who you want to see the video, allowing people the option of downloading and adding your video, and whether or not you want them to post comments about your video; Credits – A function that allows you to credit those appearing in the video; the add to option allows you to add the video to a group, channel or album and you can also add photos to go along with your video, taken directly from Flickr.
[Music Playing]
For Metacafe, the same process applies. We click submit and then choose our file.
[Music Playing]
We can select a rating for our video. In this case, it's suitable for everyone, as well as give it a category to fall into so that it can reach the right demographic.
[Music Playing]
Once our video is done uploading, one of the nicer features of Metacafe is that it lets you pick from quite a few frames to use, as the thumb –

text: MORGANTOWN, WV– Though the Appalachian region is home to less than 10 percent of the United States' population, the region's traffic fatality rate is 45 percent higher than that of non-Appalachian areas, according to faculty at West Virginia University's School of Public Health."The elevated traffic fatality rate in Appalachia was largely due to a higher proportion of rural residents and a higher fatality rate among urban Appalachian counties," explained assistant professor Motao Zhu, M.D., Ph.D., the study's principal author and WVU Injury Control Research Center researcher. "Traffic fatality rates were higher for passenger-vehicle drivers and passengers, motorcyclists and ATV riders, but lower for pedestrians and bicyclists in Appalachia, compared to the non-Appalachian U.S."About 25 million people live in the Appalachian region, comprised of parts of 13 states, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. West Virginia is the only state whose borders are located entirely within the Appalachian region. The total traffic fatality rate for residents of this area for the period from 2008 through 2010 was 15.8 traffic deaths per 100,000 people, much higher than the 10.9 fatalities per 100,000 people living in the rest of the United States.Dr. Zhu stated there are two known contributors to the elevated rate of fatalities. First, statistics show people who live in rural areas, Appalachian or not, have a much higher traffic fatality rate than urban residents; Appalachia has a higher proportion of rural residents than the rest of the U.S.Second, the traffic fatality rate for urban Appalachian counties was higher than that of urban counties in the rest of the country. Zhu said his team was not aware of a similar study ever comparing traffic fatality rates in Appalachia and the rest of the country. Follow-up studies will focus more on causation."Our next study will examine the mountain terrain and roadway issues, such as road width and number of lanes, the prevalence of older passenger vehicles without current safety features and emergency medical response time," Zhu said.The study currently appears on the web site of the "Annals of Epidemiology" and can be viewed atwww.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1047279713000884.

We were thrilled with a very successful and fun Earth Week! Several environmental documentaries were shown with much enthusiasm from the student body, such as Island President, Garbage Island, Thin Ice and Vegucated. The Stride into Spring 5K went very smoothly and had high attendance despite the cold weather; two students and two non-students won a free pair of shoes from Herington's Shoes, a local shoe store in downtown Bemidji. Official Earth Day, April 22nd, held lots of fun for all students! We had live music from Pitches and Hoes, Radical Fun Time and Caige Jambor, and free bike tune ups. Several prizes were given away as well: a bike package, longboard package, fishing package as well as organic groceries from Luekens! We had a huge turnout for our Sustainable Tuesdays, hosted by our own GreenCorp member, Caitlyn Schuchhardt. A GMO Food Labeling panel discussed the future of our food and got the word out to the public about the harmful effects of genetically modified food. At the vegetarian food panel, we had lots of yummy vegetarian foods to sample, such as wild rice hot dish, fresh veggies, hummus, pasta and vegan cookies; we discuss our experiences with vegetarianism, and showed the documentary Vegucated. The still-frozen ground on the shores of Lake Bemidji didn't stop enthusiastic students from volunteering for the annual Lakeshore Cleanup! They worked hard to clean up the litter that piled up along with all the snow we got this year. The MN Food Charter got together at the beginning of the week to gain support for a public policy that would make good, healthy food available everywhere for everyone; this initiative has huge local support from our community. And finally, Thursday May 2nd was the day of our E-Waste Collection at Paul and Babe. 5R Processing will be accepted computers, printers, laptops, cell phones, microwaves, stoves, and appliances from the Bemidji Community. Earth Week has been sponsored by Students for the Environment, the Sustainability Office, Horizontally Challenged, ARAMARK, the Outdoor Program Center, MN GreenCorp, Indigenous Environmental Network, Bobcat of Bemidji, Herington's Shoes and the Green Fee.
Four BSU students as well as the Green Corp member, Caitlin Schuchhardt, and BSU's Sustainability Coordinator, Erika Bailey-Johnson traveled to St. Coud Feb. 20-21, 2013 for a conference about clean energy.
The Sustainability Office presented at the 2012 SSCA day on April 4th in Hagg-Sauer Hall.
BSU hosted several faculty from across Minnesota for the Sustainability Across the Curriculum Workshop held March 29 - 31, 2012. Several prominent speakers shared their knowledge about sustainability related to social justice, energy, politics, and leadership. Workshop participants spent time touring campus sustainability projects and the BioHaus at Concordia Language Villages. The co-facilitators of the workshop were Erika Bailey-Johnson, Sustainability Coordinator at BSU, and Ana Davis, English faculty at North Hennepin Community College.
A pilot vermiculture study is progress for Wally's. All of the pre-consumer vegetable and fruit waste was being pulped in the Dining Facility. Now, we take it in whole chunks and feed it to our works in room below Wally's. We are hoping to work out all the kinks before school starts up in the fall! Our office is working with a local worm expert to assist with this project.
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing traditional turf grass with a low mow grass. Low mow grass requires little if any mowing. This will have many benefits such as: Less cost for gas and equipment. Less time for maintenance. Less noise pollution from lawn equipment. No fossil fuel emissions. No watering once established. Native plants will be installed that do not require; pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
Northwest Clean Energy Resource Team (NW CERT) convened a "Meet 'n Greet" tour of BSU's improvements May 26th. Over 70 people joined the tour around campus. The campus garden, retrofitting of lights, and the vermiculture were just a few of many topics covered in the tour.
The Campus Garden officially started in Summer 2011 and has had great reviews! It started with an idea and along with lots of help, has grown into something great with a total of 28 plots. There was lots of manual labor put into it by students, faculty and staff. Bemidji State's Campus Garden is across the campus library on Birch Lane and 16th.
A panel of energy experts, idea created by Erika Bailey-Johnson, was put together on April 15th, 2011 to discuss and answer questions regarding what our energy will be in 50 years. The panel included: Rep. John Persell, Lynette Nieuswma from Beltrami Electric Co-op, Chris Waltz from Franklin Energy, Dr. Tim Kroeger from BSU-Geology professor, Jason Edens from RREAL, Brian Drexten from Ottertail Power Company, Tom Goldtooth from Indigenous Environmental Network, Marc Huot from the Pembina Institute in Edmonton Canada, and Joel Haskard from CERTs.
In the Spring of 2010, a student named Crystal Rayamajhi started a campaign to reduce the amount of bottled water consumed on campus.
With the help of these shelters, BSU is promoting using public transportation and trying to get less cars on the road.
A band from Boulder Colorado. Their music is original rock funk jazz alternative! They came to Bemidji State on October 6th, 2010. Check them out on myspace (http://www.myspace.com/morsoul) or go to their website (http://www.morsoulmusic.com/)
Trevor Plendl and with the help of Students for the Environment, performed a compost audit in September and November of 2009. On average, there was 110 punds of food waste per day generated. Some of the waste was post-consumer, but mostly, it came from pre-consumer.
This is an energy saving competition started by the student organization, Students for the Environment
Donate, Don't Dumpster is a program that was started in Spring 2010. It happens at the end of each semester and was started by the Hobson Student Union. The items donated go to the campus FreeStore.
The Earth Day Celebration is put on every year by the Students for the Environment, with the help of the campus and community. There is music, food, speakers, and games available.
In Fall of 2009, the Sustainability Office started Traditional Skills workshops that are designed to teach campus students, faculty, staff, and community members skills that make them more self-sufficient.
Bemidji State received the Schools Cutting Carbon Grant in December of 2009. With the money from the grant, along with other donations, BSU retrofitted the light fixtures in the John Glas Fieldhouse gym, the Bangsberg theater, and the faculty building, Deputy.

In October of 2009 and May 2011, some students, faculty, and staff came together with Habitat for Humanity to build a home for a family in Bemidji.

If you're like me, you're probably getting sick and tired of waiting to find out who will be the next Bachelor. Enough is enough, people. Let's wrap this up. Word on the street is the producers are torn between Arie Luyendyk Jr., Marquel Martin, and Chris Soules. And given the fact that Marquel will also be starring on Bachelor in Paradise, I think it's safe to say it's really just down to Arie and Chris.
And while tons of (normal) people are cheering for Arie, there are still quite a few demanding Farmer Chris. But after hearing the comment he made recently about being the next Bachelor, those people might want to change their vote.
Watch out, Emily Maynard, because the man you sent home brokenhearted is very close to becoming the next Bachelor. Yep, everyone's favorite race-car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. could be the lucky man who gets to hand out the roses next.
We knew for a while there was a toss-up between Chris Soules and Arie, but now with this latest piece of information, it looks like all signs are pointing to Arie.
So it's no surprise that Josh Murray is one of the hottest Bachelorette contestants to ever come on the show. How this guy struggled to find a girlfriend in the first place is beyond me. He is visually flawless -- and just when I thought he couldn't get any more perfect, he decides to post this sexy shirtless photo on Instagram.
I think I've died and gone to six-pack-ab heaven.
Seriously, you need to see the hotness to believe it:
Well, this is getting exhausting. Are they broken up? Are they together? Are they not exactly engaged but not exactly not engaged? It's been quite the roller coaster relationship for Bachelor Juan Pablo and his lady love, Nikki Ferrell. Especially after news broke that Juanny Pabs was caught hitting on another woman and getting her digits.
But ess okay, you guys. America's least favorite Bachelor couple have not broken up despite JP's bad boy behavior. In fact, Juan Pablo himself is putting those rumors to rest.
Raise your hand if you're painfully excited for the season premiere of Teen Mom 2 tonight. I raised my hand, in case you were wondering, mostly because I can't wait to see what my girl Chelsea Houska has been up to.
But after watching this sneak peek of tonight's episode, it doesn't look like Chels has been doing too well. Apparently, she's gotten herself in trouble. Big trouble. Like, she may lose her job for good.

Earlier this year, Madonna debuted her first signature fragrance, Truth or Dare. Now she's announced a sequel: Truth or Dare by Madonna Naked.
Created by the same perfumer who worked on Truth or Dare, the new fragrance is described as a "provocative and sexy scent that reveals Madonna's sensual inner qualities" and is "playful yet confident." Among the notes in the fragrance: honeysuckle, peach blossom, lily of the valley, vanilla orchid, Australian sandalwood and cocoa flower.
The bottle of the new fragrance looks like the regular Truth or Dare bottle, but it's clear, so you can see the perfume inside. According to Coty, the company that's releasing the perfume, Madonna "wanted the fragrance to recreate the rich color of the champagne just after it has been poured into a crystal flute."
Truth or Dare by Madonna Naked will be available at Macy's starting in December, in two sizes, priced from 55 to 68 dollars. There will also be a body lotion, available for $28.

Carissa Whalen tied a career-high with 12 kills and made four blocks to lead North Dakota State to a 25-12, 25-18, 25-21 win over Omaha in Summit League women's volleyball Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse.
It was the third straight Summit League victory for North Dakota State, which upped its record to 8-12 overall and 5-4 in the league. Omaha dropped to 6-15 overall and 1-8 in the league with its fifth straight loss.
Whalen hit .455 with only two errors in 22 attacks and fellow middle hitter Megan Lambertson hit .600 with 10 kills and only one error in 15 attacks to lead the Bison offense. NDSU setter Catherine Yager dished out 35 assists.
NDSU tied a season-high with nine service aces led by Lambertson's career high-tying four and Brynn Joki's three. The Bison also scored on eight Omaha serving errors.
North Dakota State took command of the first set with a 13-1 run capped by back-to-back aces from Joki that gave the Bison a 14-4 lead.
Joki had six of her nine kills during the second set, including three of NDSU's six kills on an 8-1 spurt midway through the second set that put the Bison ahead for good.
Omaha hung around in the third set and was within 19-17 before NDSU got a kill from Lambertson and back-to-back blocks by Whalen and Yager to go up 22-17 and prompt Omaha to take its final timeout.
Kelly Wollak had a team-high six kills for the Mavericks, whose .076 team hitting percentage was a season-low for NDSU opponents. Omaha libero Amy Roberts made a match-high 13 digs.
North Dakota State closes out its five-match homestand against Drake at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15. The Bulldogs are 3-16 and 2-7 in the Missouri Valley Conference after a 3-0 loss at Illinois State on Saturday.

Andrea Camilleri
Adult Fiction CAMILLE
Summary: Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Salvo Montalbano has garnered millions of fans worldwide with his sardonic, engaging take on Sicilian life and his genius for deciphering the most enigmatic of crimes. The Terra-cotta Dogopens with the inspector's mysterious tête-à -tête with a mafioso, some inexplicably abandoned loot from a supermarket heist, and dying words that lead him to an illegal arms cache in a mountain cave. There, in a secret grotto, he finds a harrowing scene: two young lovers, dead fifty years and still embracing, watched over by a life-size terra-cotta dog. Montalbano's passion to solve this old crime takes him, heedless of personal danger, on a journey through the island's past and into a family's dark heart amid the horrors of World War II bombardment. From sly comedy at the expense of his fellow policemen to personal soul searching that helps him enter the minds of those he must investigate, Montalbano is a detective whose earthiness and imagination coalesce into a unique, unfailing appeal.

Long Gutierrez
» Brighton High School senior
» Holds 43 state swimming records
» Bengals have won four straight state championships
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Long Gutierrez was off, in the water where he felt so comfortable, and swimming faster than he ever had before. When he touched the wall after 100 meters of the butterfly, his time of 49.02 seconds was the best ever for a U.S. swimmer age 13 or 14 — a mark previously set by future Olympian Michael Phelps.
Looking back at that moment now, Gutierrez credits another competitor in the heat, a former BYU swimmer looking to get some training in, for helping him break the record.
"He was fast," Gutierrez says. "That gave me competition."
On the eve of the Utah swimming championships, the Brighton High senior knows there are plenty of teams looking to keep the Bengals from winning a fifth consecutive state championship. Gutierrez sees them all as motivation.
"One of the biggest things Long has going for him is just his love of racing," Brighton coach Todd Etherington said. "He loves to get up and get after it with people, and just flat out race. That's when he's his happiest — when he's challenged, when there's someone pushing him to swim fast."
His parents named him Longyuan, but Long seems to suit him. Long are the powerful arms that churn through the water. Long is the list of records he holds.
At the Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center, the Bengals' home pool, the senior's name dominates the orange and blue board that lists the school's records. When he was looking at colleges last year, his mother tallied up his state records: 43 in all.
It might be easier for him to list the ones he does not hold: the 500 freestyle, the 100 breaststroke, the 200 freestyle relay.
"The 200 IM," he adds. "But I'm going to go for that at state."
Gutierrez was born in Mexico City, and since he first was put in the pool as a child, the water has felt like home.
"I've been doing it so long, it just clicks," he said. "I start swimming and it's as if I were walking on land."
Gutierrez hopes to land a spot on the Mexican national team this summer. After that, he will join Olympian Missy Franklin as an incoming freshman on the University of California-Berkeley's swim team.
"It will be nice to see what he can do when he's challenged every single second of every practice," Etherington said. "Not just challenged by the workouts, but challenged by everyone around him."
But Gutierrez doesn't want to look that far ahead quite yet.
First, he wants to go out a champion. It would be his fourth.
"I want to have this clean streak," he said. "I want to look back and say I'm a part of that streak."
But Gutierrez knows there's always someone else looking for a record of their own.
The Michael Phelps mark he beat?
"Some kid broke it, like, half a year later," he said.Next Page >

It is the aspiration of the Dana Group to provide as many resources as possible for Shambhalians to contemplate our relationship with money. With that in mind we hope the below will inspire the community to consider the two difficult topics of death and money.
Planned giving insures that after one passes away there is certainty around the deceased's wishes. In addition, in some areas there are local laws which will dictate what happens to your assets if you do not have a Will.
Wise financial planning can provide for your future and that of your loved ones, and the right kind of plan can also help you make a difference in your world.
One way to make a difference after your death is through a gift to Shambhala entities you are inspired to support. For many friends and members of Shambhala, the best way to make a gift is in the form of a bequest. Bequests can be made through gifts of cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property.
If you are interested in working with members of the Office of Finance and Development on your wishes for your estate we can move as quickly or as slowly as you wish, working directly with you and/or your professional advisors.

The Department of Sociology offers internship opportunities to eligible students. Students can receive 3 to 6 hours of academic credit towards their degree while interning at an approved intern site. The number of credit hours will vary depending on the number of internship hours completed at the internship site. Check the section "Internship Credit Hours" below for details.
No credit will be given for work completed prior to the start of the term for which you apply.
Internships provide students with both observational and hands-on learning experiences designed to enhance their academic preparation and increase their ability to perform on a professional level after graduation. Students apply knowledge from their academic experiences to professional settings that are appropriate to sociology and receive practical experiences in the field. The objective of our internship program is to provide students with actual work experiences where they will learn the skills required to succeed in social service and non-profit organizations and write sociologically about their work experiences. Students are under the direction of the Internship Coordinator, Dr. Deirdre Oakley, throughout the term of the internship.

A 49-year-old Immokalee man was arrested for allegedly exposing his genitals while children were present.
Deputies said Pierre Marcellin was spotted walking around the Crestview Park Apartments on Lauren Lane with his shorts pulled down.
A deputy was responding to another call when he saw Marcellin.
Marcelin told investigators he had just been attacked by three women. When deputies asked Marcellin why the women were allegedly battering him, he said he didn't know.
Deputies also asked him why his pants were pulled down, and he responded, "I don't know."
Neighbors at the complex said they had to hide their children.
A judge set his bond at $2,000.

Brent rises above $110 on US stimulus hopes
President Obama to speak on jobs, economy on Thursday; Swiss National Bank seeks to set minimum rate for franc;By Christopher Johnson
September 6, 2011 4:19 by Reuters
Brent crude oil rose above $110 per barrel on Tuesday as expectations of a new stimulus for the US economy outweighed fears of recession and worries over the euro zone debt crisis.
A surprise move by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to set a minimum exchange rate target of 1.20 francs to the euro also helped support oil as it boosted the European currency.
Gold fell sharply after the SNB move, after hitting a new record above $1,900 an ounce
Brent futures for October climbed $1.39 to a high of $111.47 a barrel before easing back to around $110.80 by 1310 GMT. U.S. crude traded around $84.10 a barrel, down from Friday's close at $86.45. The U.S. crude contract had no settlement on Monday due to the U.S. Labor Day holiday.
"Prices are being supported by hopes of another economic stimulus," said Carsten Fritsch, commodities analyst at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "But there is a big risk to the downside in this market. The economy is slowing and it is not clear how the United States will pay for another stimulus."
Olivier Jakob, managing director of consultants Petromatrix said the shock SNB move was offering extra support to oil.
"The euro is surging versus the Swiss Franc, which in turn is providing some support on the euro versus the dollar," Jakob said.
Economic activity is slowing worldwide, data suggest, and a senior Chinese official said on Tuesday that China's economic growth may fall below 9 percent in 2012.
A report by the United Nations economic thinktank UNCTAD said on Tuesday that the pursuit of austerity measures and deficit cuts was pushing the world economy towards disaster in a misguided attempt to please global financial markets.
The UNCTAD report projected global economic growth would slow to about 1.5 percent in 2012, less than half the U.N. forecast of 3.1 percent growth for this year.
Oil prices gained some extra support from supply concerns.
A major oilfield in China was closed due to leaks, which analysts expect will reduce Chinese state oil producer CNOOC's total output by about 2 percent this year and increase Chinese crude imports.
China's State Oceanic Administration ordered the PL19-3 oilfield in the northern Bohai Bay, owned and operated by CNOOC and ConocoPhillips , to cease operations because the U.S. firm had failed to seal a leak for more than two months, CNOOC said on Monday.
More than half the crude production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico remains shut due to Tropical Storm Lee, which is hindering efforts to restaff and restart oil and gas platforms in the basin.
Another hurricane, Katia, powered up to a major Category 4 storm on Monday, but was expected to veer away from the U.S. East Coast later this week, avoiding a direct hit on a seaboard already battered by Hurricane Irene.
In Libya, where 1.6 million barrels per day of crude production remain offline, more signs emerged that the country's conflict could be nearing a resolution.
Scores of Libyan army vehicles have crossed the desert frontier into Niger in what may be a secretly negotiated bid by Muammar Gaddafi to seek refuge in a friendly African state, military sources from France and Niger said.

MSNBC Contributor Blames Republicans for Obama's Unconstitutional Recess Appointment

In a segment this morning discussing the breaking news that a panel of judges on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia unanimously ruled that some of President Obama's recess appointments had been made in an unconstitutional manner, MSNBC's Thomas Roberts turned to network contributor and former Democratic Senate staffer Jimmy Williams for his reaction.
Williams conceded the the court had ruled correctly, but rather than chiding the president for violating his oath of office with unconstitutional appointments, he blamed Senate Republicans for driving Mr. Obama to do so. For his part, Roberts agreed, mumbling "mm hmm" in reply to the ex-lobbyist's partisan swipe.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - The man charged with murdering his girlfriend in Weston October 13th was back in court Thursday. 21-year-old Richi Vue of Saint Paul Minnesota appeared before Judge Greg Grau for a hearing where several motions were presented.
Two officers testified on how Vue's Miranda rights were given. Defense attorney Deborah Vishny also questioned the officers about Vue's condition while giving statements to investigators.
Prosecutor Theresa Wetzsteon says it's not unusual for this issue to come up in this kind of case. "There is a motion filed, as is often the case when there's a defendant's statement that is going to be used, or possibly used, in a case of this magnitude. Questions about whether or not Miranda was administered, whether it was administered properly, and then whether the statement that was subsequently given was voluntary. Those are the issues before the court."
The court discussed several motions for three hours Thursday, and Wetzsteon says there will be more hearings like this. "We anticipated there would be another motion (hearing) date regardless. In a case of this magnitude, there are a lot of things to sift through and motions come about even as the case is pending."
Vue is accused of shooting 20-year-old Lee Xiong in a Weston apartment. The criminal complaint say that Vue and Xiong were dealing methamphetamines out of the apartment, and a dispute over a drug deal that morning lead to the killing.
Vue remains jailed on a one-million dollar bond.

- This is a mix of two scenes featuring young teen girlfriends who in a moment of intimacy reveal their sexual desires for one another. Megan tries to cheer up her best friend Silvie who has recently been dumped by her idiot boyfriend. For many years she has felt an ever growing love for her best friend Silvie, the affinity she feels for her runs deep in her soul. Sometimes it feels so great that she wants to grab her friend and kiss her passionately! She longs to be closer to her, to be physically intimate with her, and to be able to confess her feelings openly. On this particular night, all that is about to happen, when an innocent hug brings the two girls closer than they ever imagined they would be while growing up together. Victoria has suffered from night tremors for most of her life, they don't come often but sometimes bouts of sleepless nights leaves her very distressed. Fortunately, her older sisters best friend Niki lives in town with her boyfriend, and since he's away for the week she's invited Victoria to sleep over. She's seven years older and Victoria really looks up to her, so she's very excited. She hasn't admitted it to anyone, but she used to have an adolescent girl-crush on Niki. Laying in bed together, Victoria begins to feel that Niki is a little bit on edge, she's acting nervously and saying some unusual things to her. Suddenly she feels Niki's warm minty breath on her neck and her fingers gently running down her skin, she turns and smiles, quietly giving Niki permission to kiss her. Before she really knows what's happening Niki's pent-up lust for the young student is being unleashed rapidly!

A source speaking to AllThingsD has indicated BlackBerry is hard at work on the next wave of BlackBerry 10 smartphones, and that another touchscreen model will arrive on the U.S. network Sprint later this year. The company formerly known as RIM launched BlackBerry 10 at the end of January, showing two phones – the BlackBerry Z10 and the keyboard-equipped BlackBerry Q10 – off at the time.
These two are just the start of BlackBerry's plans for 2013, as the company is expected to launch six phones before the end of the year, all of which will occupy different price points. The new report says Sprint has a touchscreen phone ready for release sometime after the summer, and that it'll be an all-new device rather than a warmed over BlackBerry Z10.
Sprint is the only major U.S. network not to stock the BlackBerry Z10, deciding instead to go for the BlackBerry Q10 as its only BlackBerry 10 handset. This left a fashionable touchscreen phone shaped hole in its range, one which could be filled by a new device should the rumour turn out to be true. The QWERTY phone doesn't have a release date at this point, although it's expected to come out in April or May.
In the UK, the BlackBerry Z10 is already on sale, and earlier today, the phone was finally given its release date with AT&T in the USA. After an extensive testing period, the Z10 will make its debut there on 22 March. The BlackBerry Z10 has been attracting good press since its release, with a YouGov report stating 43% of existing BlackBerry owners are planning a switch to BlackBerry 10 before the end of summer. So far, there's no similar rumours concerning UK networks grabbing any of BlackBerry's next generation hardware.

Five Tips for Successful Thrift Store Shopping
When people step foot into my funky home, one of the first things they ask is, "Where do you find all of this stuff?" After I tell them that most of what we own has been found at thrift stores, they then beg me to take them with me next time I go. But I assure the visitors in my home — just as I assure you now — that successful thrifting doesn't involve any black magic or top secret tricks. Just a few practices that when used consistently, pay off over time.
- Go early and often. I have set days where I head to the local thrift stores, and usually have a route that I travel, so I can efficiently get the most shopping done in one day. The biggest and best shops are first on my list. And you might be surprised to find a line outside the door, especially on sale days. When I set a schedule for myself, it keeps me motivated to head out and see what there is to find. Consistency is what results in great finds.
- Make thrifting pit-stops. If you have a busy schedule and can't arrange your time around arriving at the thrift store on certain days or when the doors open, then try to find gaps in your day where you will have time to stop in and quickly browse on your way to your next destination. I have map searched all of the thrift stores within a 50 mile radius of my home, and if I have some extra time between appointments, I always pop in and see if there are any treasures to be purchased. This is how I have come across some of my best finds!
- Be efficient. If you're in a hurry, or are worried other shoppers might find treasures before you do, quickly browse the shop upon entering, and if you have a cart, throw anything that strikes your fancy inside. Then, after you've covered the whole store, look through your cart and narrow down your findings to things you really truly love. This is the time to be selective. Edit! Put anything that you don't really love back onto the shelves. If you have extra time, really dig through the bins and study the shelves, because you never know what kind of treasure you will miss by quickly browsing.
- Be selective, but don't overthink things! Momma always said, "If in doubt, don't." But I can't tell you how many trips I've taken to the thrift store where I have found something I loved, only to talk myself out of it. I always return for it the next day, and, of course, it is never there. So my rule of thumb is that if I am really tickled with an item, and it is only a few dollars, I will buy it. If in a few months I decide I don't like it, I will end up donating it back to the store. (By the way, I believe thrifting karma is real!) A great thing about thrift store shopping and donating, is that it is part of a cycle that simply redistributes things that are already in existence.
- Master the art of editing. It's always funny going thrifting with friends who rarely thrift. You hear things like, "Wow! This is so cheap, we should get it!" I gently ask them if they have room for the item, what they would do with it, if they really like it, and then I remind them to be selective in what they bring into their home. Anyone can go thrifting and fill their home with stuff, and believe me, it's a slippery slope. But after a few months of practice, it's pretty easy to develop a sort of trained eye. Be willing to admit when you've made a mistake. Don't keep something in your home just because you used to like it or once spent money on it. If you're not happy with it, then donate it. And who knows, maybe your thrifting luck with improve with your generosity!

Great tips! I would add "Don't be discouraged when you have days where you don't find anything." I am a big thrifter, and whenever I take along a friend who doesn't usually thrift, if they don't find anything they tend to get upset and feel like it was a big waste of time. Some days you find lots of great stuff, sometimes nothing! That's just how it goes!
I love this! There is an antique/ thrift store that I have been going to since I was sixteen and the ladies know me very well because I started going so well. I love buying gifts for others from there also. :)
I'm with you. It's so easy to get sucked in by "sticker excitement". I try to reason with myself, "If I would buy it at full-price, then I can take it home." It's a good mantra.
at the chateau
I think these are great tips, but practically useless if you live in area with terrible thrifting prospects. It doesn't matter when or how often I stop by local thrifting outlets there's nothing there but game show consolation prize furniture and baby items.
I read somewhere once that it's a good idea to go on a Tuesday - people donate on Saturday or Sunday after a yard sale, staff puts it out by Monday evening/Tuesday morning. Apparently that's when the fresh stuff is there :)
I always bring something to donate when I go to the thrift store. It gives me an excuse to go to the thrift store, it helps me cycle out things I don't want anymore and I feel like it brings me good luck for my thrifting!
My biggest tip for thrifting is PATIENCE. I sometimes take a friend with me who never goes thrifting, and they always look close to tears of boredom by the time I'm done. Sigh. Amateurs!
I hear wealthier neighborhoods generally have better stocked thrift shops and garage sales. I also hear rural neighborhoods generally have better stocked thrift shops. I notice that church or other charity thrift shops generally have nicer stock and staff than for-profit thrift shops.
I second the idea of bringing a list of things you want or need. That doesn't mean you shouldn't walk the whole store---just focus when you get to those areas that contain the items on your list. (My focus area this week is blue and green glassware, because that's what I need for a project at the end of the month.)
The local science museum had a large, well stocked thrift shop located miles away that was manned by volunteers from the "friends of the museum" group.
Yep, location matters! I find I have the best luck in my parents' small town in Indiana (where no one is looking for the stuff I'm looking for) versus here in Chicago (where everyone and their brother is looking for the same stuff I'm looking for). It's like a secret stash!
Would someone PLEASE tell me where you go for a good thrift in Denver other than Mile High? I have followed your advice with ARC and Goodwill and nothing, AND the sad thing is, what you do find is not inexpensive (read cheap). Even furniture on Craigslist is listed for crazy prices.
Good tips, all. I've had especially good luck with thrifting since I started commuting by train -- there is a good thrift store on my walk home from the station, so that I often drop in for a quick browse on my walk home. Frequent stops really pay off!
The other editing tip I would add is this: be realistic about your ambitions when buying "projects" -- if the item is not perfect as it is, will you actually get around to the painting/refinishing/recovering that will make it perfect. If you're already swimming in unfinished projects, maybe take a pass.
I second the "don't get discouraged if there's nothing you like on a particular trip." Some trips, there's just nothing even worth a peek, and then the next trip, there might be three totally awesome things. You never know!
moreshooz... I know your pain! I also have zero luck at Denver thrift shops. I have heard lore that some are better gold mines than others... but I still don't know which ones (Arc on south broadway is the only one I can think of.)
I have better luck at the second hand shops and antiques shops.
One of my favorites (Stagestop) closed a few months ago. There are a couple really good ones on South Broadway... near abouts Herman's Hideaway... but it's hit or miss.
Regarding the trips where you don't find a thing and the garage sales full of grubby plastic toys, my mother (who is a master thrifter) would always say "you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a handsome prince..."
Oh, I'm a sucker for the sticker price but I'm getting much better at fending off the temptation. One thing I do, and it really helps when it comes to editing or gaining an objective view, is to take pictures of your home. When you get to stand back from where you usually view it you get a different perception of your own place. Then you can start figuring our what works and what doesn't work.
I wish I could thrift but I work in a city office full-time (no op-shops anywhere around there) and the locals are only open until lunch on Saturdays and not at all on Sundays. It takes a lot of effort to be out of the house before 11 on the weekends!
I also don't have anyone who can lend me a trailer, a hitch on my car, or know how to drive a rented truck so Gumtree (Australia's version of Craiglist, I guess) is a bit useless for furniture as well. :(
Hopefully I'll have at least a little bit of luck when I move into my own apartment soon...
Great tips ,all things that I do ,My friends are constantly amazed at what I bring home. I have set days too and I usually set aside a good couple of hours on my 'best' day of the week when I go to all my shops . In one shop I always go to the back first ,I seem to find great things that others who just start browing in the front seem to miss. I have gone up to the counter with something and had comments such as 'Where was that?' !
I wish I could thrift more often but being prisoner in a corporate job ties one up pretty tight! I go whenever possible. Sometimes I'll just pass by one on the way to the grocery store and make my BF make a U-turn just to stop by for a few minutes. It doesn't ever really have to take really long. Just a quick peek, you never know what you will find with just a quick peek. But on days I have more time and can actually make a thrift store my destination, I yelp some review on local thrift stores and hit all the popular ones in the morning (weekends of course). Even though I don't go as often, I do find little treasures here and there. I haven't yet found my mid-century night stands yet though!
I always carry a tiny measuring tape in my bag. Has come in handy many times. Sorry folks, but I "make the rounds" alone - I can be totally focused. I agree with making the quick run thru and then browsing. You can even find me in a good old fashioned junk shop pulling out a cardboard box under a shelf and going through it - never know what you are going to find.
It's so easy to get distracted, when thrifting, that I finished mentally designing my house and now when I go hunting I have a purpose I'm trying to fill (bedside tables, shelving for the library, brooches that fit a specific theme, etc).
I also, frequently, took a lunch hour break from the corporate office tower to go to a local thrift shop. I'd set a time and dollar limit for myself but there was nothing like the thrill of the hunt to ward off the bad job blues. Over a few short months I was able to assemble a beautiful complete bar set, with many mother of pearl handled bar tools, for less than than the cost of two cafeteria lunches.
That's what I'd like to see a discussion on: Thrifting/Flea friendly cars! When I finally do trade in my Beetle, I need something big enough for junking, comfortable enough for road tripping, and great gas mileage for all that + commuting. Will add the Ford Focus Wagon to my list ^_^
You've listed some great tips.
Does anyone know how Goodwill operates these days since they have an online store? Friends & I have noticed that a local Goodwill (nestled among very upscale suburbs) doesn't have the great selection that it once had. We suspect that great donations are set aside instead of being put on the floor for sale. I've even heard people say not to donate to Goodwill ... I've been meaning to find out why.
@IaayIzzy: I agree about not getting discouraged. There are many people that hate to shop & think it can take goo-gobs of time ... especially thrift shops & places like TJMaxx HomeGoods that have a little of everything. But, it doesn't have to if one avoids getting sensory overload. One can read a book for indepth research, leisure (like a novel) or by section skimming it like an encyclopedia (flip through to sections that are applicable). If I'm hitting a bunch of shops or in a hurry, I skim (i.e., look over the store in general & then walk through briskly focused on specific categories (ceramic, linens, kitchen, solid wood, etc.)) instead of taking everything in. That way I get in & out of stores & don't feel discouraged if I don't find anything.
@Amanda: I grew up in the Chi-town burbs & miss the shopping ... so homesick & green with envy! Your tips about pit-stops & knowing your 50 mile radius are genius ... so true! A few years ago, I got familiar with local shops by keeping a list in my glovebox & started keeping my eyes peeled for them. Knowing what streets have clusters of shops makes pit-stops oh so easy.
More than anything, the smell of most thrift stores keeps me from wanting to spend more than ten minutes browsing. I can't wash that icky smell off me fast enough.
I'd always heard not to donate to Goodwill because their higher-ups rake in so much cash. Looking at these links though, it looks like a regional thing, and partially understandable (the the legal requirement in the second)... I don't know too much about it, but this is what I found.
you can always "thrift" online, too! like here at Junk and Howe: http://goo.gl/SpKBj
I can't stand to thrift store shop with other people, they never move fast enough!
Another pc of advice I'd give is: learn what your budget can handle in frequency of visiting the stores. If you hit a circuit of stores on different days of the week. Even though it's "cheap", I rarely leave without something & those little somethings add up suprisingly quick! I can't tell you how many weeks I've been surprised to find that my purchases ($5 here, $10 there) have added up to $100s!

Ancestors I'm researching
I live in New Zealand and most of my ancestors have been here for several generations; many arriving in the 19th century.
The surnames that feature prominently in my family tree include: Aldridge, Chapman, Mathieson, Scott, Gibbs, Prentice, Perry, Lewis, Stewart, Simpkin, Dobbie, Blandford, Towan, Hosking, Paton, Goodman, Johnston, Goodall, Gage, Gordon, Bell, Craig, Arkinstall, Bourne, Sayce, Hawthorne, and Jenkins.
Most of my immigrant ancestors settled in the South Island - especially in the Canterbury and Otago regions. Some travelled via Australia. They originated from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Canada.
I am always happy to make contact with other descendants of my ancestors and happy to share photos and information.

Hi im Simon Perry my fathers side of the family trace back to William Perry Of Sawyers Bay in !860's.
Hi Simon
I don't know much about my Perry ancestors. My 2x great grandfather was Alfred Perry - I think he was born in England about 1834. He died of enteric fever in Otago, New Zealand on 10 June 1876. He was a miner. He had married Catherine Smith and their children (born between 1868 and 1876) were Walter, Jane, Alice, Alfred, William and John Fredrick).
Their son William Perry was born 16 June 1874 - does he sound like your one??
Hi. I am Malcolm Lind a decendant of the Gibbs family and have extensive detail on that connection. They arrived in Nelson in 1842. If you need any help, please contact.

Emotional police officers and firefighters held back tears when talking about Lt. Michael Chiapperini at his funeral Sunday afternoon in upstate New York.
Chiapperini and fellow firefighter Tomasz Kaczowka were shot and killed by gunman William Spengler as they were responding to a house fire on Christmas Eve. The two firemen were ambushed by Spengler in a neighborhood on the shore of Lake Ontario.
Bagpipers and drummers played as family, friends and uniformed first responders filed past Chiapperini's flag-draped casket at the end of the service inside a local high school auditorium.
The funeral for Kaczowka's will be held on Monday.

NCsoft trying to block Tera launch, alleging theft of trade secrets
A May launch was announced for MMORPG Tera earlier this month, but NCsoft is hoping to stop that outright. The publisher alleges that NCsoft employees who went on to found developer Bluehole Studio built the game upon "looted" ideas, and, having fought a similar battle in South Korea, wants to block its release in North America.
Bluehole's founders had been working on a third entry in NCsoft's grindathon MMO series Lineage. The publisher alleges in the lawsuit (via Rock, Paper, Shotgun) that, when they left, they made off with "copious amounts of proprietary NCsoft information, computer software, hardware and artwork related to Lineage 3."
Ideas NCsoft claims Tera lifts from Lineage 3 including the world layout ("four continents surrounding a central island"), similar designs for the player races (especially its raccoon men), an "action combat" system (both the name and ideas), the politics system, and "propietary" Unreal Engine 3 customisations "which NCsoft invested substantial resources to develop."
This isn't the first time NCsoft has accused Bluehole of ripping off Lineage 3. The publisher prosecuted its former employees in South Korea, and in 2009 they were convicted for stealing trade secrets, NCsoft says. While its claims for damages were reversed (which NCsoft is still protesting in court), an injunction forbidding Bluehole from using the ideas in future held.
Back to the present, NCsoft says, "Bluehole, continuing its competitive war against its rival, has now threatened to open a new and potentially enormous front, namely, the United States." Having scrutinized Tera's Korean version and had a good gander at the US edition, NCsoft says it's "evident" that the stolen ideas are still being used.
NCsoft would suffer "immediate and irreparable harm" were Tera to launch in North America, the publisher insists. "The marketing materials already released by the Defendants for the US market reveal that they are aiming directly at NCsoft customer base - and are doing so by emphasizing the very game features they stole from NCsoft. Once lost, that customer base would be extraordinarily difficult to replace."
As well as blocking the North American launch, Tera wants damages and legal fees in cash money from Bluehole and its self-publishing arm En Masse Entertainment.
The response from En Masse senior community manager Evan Berman is simple: "It's our policy not to comment on legal matters." To court we go!

Product Information Menu
SAMe (S-adenosyl-methionine) is an amino acid derivative normally synthesized in the body. SAMe is used by the body in three important pathways:
SAMe occurs naturally in the body. It is concentrated in the liver and brain and is a major methyl donor in the synthesis of hormones, nucleic acids, proteins, and phospholipids, catecholamines, and other neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin. SAMe is required for the synthesis of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, and also plays a role in other intracellular metabolic pathways.55,56 SAMe facilitates glutathione57,58 usage and maintains acetylcholine levels,59,60 which help enhance or maintain cognitive function and attenuate or prevent aggression of aging and neurodegeneration.
SAMe levels may become depleted from sickness and age. Supplementation with the co-factors — folate, trimethylglycine (TMG or betaine), vitamins B6 and B12, together with SAMe — appears to be an effective method to overcome this deficiency. There is evidence that SAMe helps to synthesize phosphatidylcholine, which keeps cell membranes fluid, and is used in the brain to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.47,50,61
In 2002, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conducted a meticulous evaluation of SAMe. Its findings show the efficacy of SAMe in helping to maintain stable mood and joint function without any side effects.62 Since aging people often suffer joint discomfort and immobilization, SAMe addresses multiple problems people face as they grow older.49,60,63-66 In addition, SAMe has multiple mechanisms of action that are used throughout the body, especially in the liver, which help maintain liver health. SAMe facilitates healthy methylation enzymatic processes and boosts hepatic levels of the critical antioxidant glutathione.57,58,67 When liver function is compromised, glutathione is depleted, which leads to free radical damage.

Other ingredients: cellulose, mannitol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, citric acid, stearic acid, silica, glyceryl triacetate, sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, titanium dioxide, yellow ochre.

Comments about Life Extension SAMe (S-Adenosyl-Methionine), 200 mg 20 enteric coated tablets:
It does prevent joint discomfort & emotional stability. I am 68 yrs and do not take any pharmaceutical prescriptions. I use to take it on a empty stomach. I did it for several yrs, but now I have to eat first or it upsets my stomach. I use SamE daily, 200 mg along with TMG to enhance its effect. This was recommended to me by a physician.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"We are successfully integrating the Read Live components with our literacy program. Students are highly motivated to apply taught strategies and are truly interested in the range of topics offered. The ability to customize this program allows us to meet the needs of each student."
— Nancy, Classroom Teacher, Exeter, NH
"We serve a large population of second language learners at our school. Because they are all at different fluency levels, it was hard to give them the instruction and attention that they needed. Read Live is the perfect solution. It reaches all learners at their fluency level and allows them to work at their own pace. It truly is a fabulous program."
— Esther, ELL Administrator, Ojai, CA
"I have found Read Naturally to be an excellent intervention for building reading fluency. The levels are well sequenced, interesting, and the non-fiction stories build the students' vocabulary and knowledge. My students are motivated to use it, and they can work for the most part independently, allowing me to work with more students at a time and still be effective. The Read Live version is the best!"
— Barbara H., Special Education Teacher, Missoula, MT
It is my pleasure, Clozelle. I am pleased that you seek out the information you need to make our programs work effectively for your students! Read Naturally strives to be responsive to our teachers and teacher leaders. That is one of the best parts of my job.
Thanks for your comments, Juli. Read Naturally offers passages specifically for progress monitoring called Reading Fluency Progress Monitor.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Callie. Read Naturally Live gets students to do the same task over and over because of the intrinsic motivation that comes from improving a little bit each time, but students sometimes do need additional motivation. You'll be pleased to learn that the long-term fluency chart is already available to students after completing each story! There are three tabs at the top of the Story Details page shown in the Pass Step. Each tab has a graph: fluency, comprehension, and word lists (or retellings in Sequenced levels) so the student can see progress on all completed stories. Please see Read Naturally Live FAQs for some suggestions about supporting students during the Word List step. Your comments help us as we consider changes for future releases. We will note them and discuss each of these in our planning sessions
Please let us know what questions you have so we can assist. For Technical Support, please call us or submit a software support request.

Baby Weight Debate: Kourtney Kardashian Reveals Tummy, Kris Jenner Sets Horrible Exampleby Hilton Hater at . Comments
We don't ever often give the Kardashians credit, but Kourtney Kardashian set a good example for women last month. Of course, mother Kris than came along and ruined it.
Here's what went down:
Following an OK! Weekly cover story that teased an "exclusive" with Kourtney and focused on her post-pregnancy diet secrets, the new mother called out the tabloid for photoshopping her picture and exaggerating her recent weight loss. In essence, Kourtney was confidently saying: I didn't lose all my baby weight yet - and that's okay.
What a refreshing attitude.
In the latest issue of Life & Style, meanwhile, Kardashian continues this trend and says: "It's been hard to find time to work out. All I want to do is spend time with Mason.... Losing the weight has been a lot harder than I thought."
Again, isn't it nice to hear a celebrity not act as though the most important thing in life is to shed as much weight as possible, especially when provided with such an understandable, beautiful excuse as a newborn?
This makes it even more galling that mother Kris Jenner said in the same Life & Style article:
"Kourtney's going to be just fine. She's going to start QuickTrim. She'll be sexy Kourtney again in five minutes."
And if she's not, Kris? Will you disown her for missing out on an opportunity to shill for such an unhealthy weight loss product?
When it comes to her first grandchild, you'd think Jenner could go a week without shamelessly plugging a product. Then again, we're not sure why you'd think that. This is the Kardashian family, after all.
How many of you actually watch this show during prime time? I only tune in if I can't sleep in the middle of the night. I fall asleep right away every time.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Kris Jenner is a "wanna be". Her only claim to fame is Bruce Jenner. No one ever knew or paid attention to her, or her dead husband. Even seeing the "family videos", brings no recollection of HIM, or "THEM". HE wasn't, And SHE wasn't a celebrity, until she hooked up with Bruce Jenner! Why do peeps tune into their show? Well, there's nothing else on at 3am..... Better to watch a family of big egos, attitudes and even bigger ass's than watch infomercials at 3am. Atleast we can LAUGH at the these "Jenner hanger on-ers"....sheesh!
I agree. Kris Jenner seems like such an opportunist. So money hungry! She kisses Reggie and Lamar's asses because they are rich and famous. I used to like her, but she seems so fake lately. Khloe seems to be following in her footsteps. OYE!!!
Ps, yeah famous athletes like Tiger Woods, OJ SCUM BAG SIMPSON, MAGIC Johnson - I mean these are great examples of what fame do to a person - YUCK!!!!!
This show is so stupid. If it weren't for their dead dads rep as being one of that idiot Simpson's lawyers nobody would know who these bozos are! The leader Kim would still be working for other so-called celebs, fixing their bedrooms! I guess she is good at fixing bedrooms! The mother is such a pimp! She will do anything to get her name or kids names on the news or in the papers. Such scums. All of them act as if they really work. Everything they have is because of their dead dad. The stepfather even gets in on the act. Bruce was good in his field years ago, but hasn't really done anything since except speaking events because of his name. It would be so nice to not hear about these people anymore. The mom should be happy she has a healthy grandson and not try to sell the kid on products she pushes. All of these reality shows should go away just like they came...quickly!!
I am so sick of Kris Kardashian. If I acted like that, my kids would disown me. She is obnoxious and a buttinski.Can't you do anything to eliminate her from the show. Everyone I know feels the same way. She is a money hungry Bitch, who has to be every were there is a camera. Just call her " grandma" and watch her roar. She always wants the limelight when the girls deserve it. When she showed Kloe the 11 room bedroom house and then asked her husband if he would like to move, that shows you how much she wants out of life.
Always consider the source!! You can't blame the sisters too much for their attitudes. They were shaped by their mommy. Hopefully they will branch out and become their own people and I agree with Kerr Bear, there is a real life newborn child here, that is more important than a roll of fat. Besides, she's young and within a year's time, the weight will be gone. Big deal.
Good for you KK!! Take your time and enjoy all the 'firsts' with your little man. Every one of them is a milestone to be treasured.
