Manna Dey turned 90 on May 1. The singing legend remains young at heart and keeps busy with shows and performances. He promises Screen 15 minutes on the phone from Bengalooru, but gives us more than half an hour of characteristically candid chat
We, however, begin on a false note, which the veteran singer has probably never delivered in front of a microphone in 3, 500-plus recordings and hundreds of performances over 60 years. For when asked how he feels about entering his 90th year on May 1, he thunders, "Listen, my age is not something I wish to discuss!
I will answer your questions if they are about me and not about my age. Age is just another year gone by - a mere birthday. It means nothing! I hope that this interview is about music and the wonderful time I have had with so many wonderful people!
I have worked for over 65 years now. If you have done your homework and are willing to discuss my career, I would love to answer your questions!"
But that's Manna Dey as he 's always been - a man who never minces words. As we are on a 'phone line, he naturally does not recollect our earlier meetings from the 1991 recording for Nana Patekar's Prahaar, his last significant Hindi film song, to an hour-plus interview at his Juhu bungalow in Mumbai and several other smaller meetings.
"Hamari hi mutthi mein akash saara was a beautiful number, the last of so many for Laxmi-Pyare!" he recollects. "I remember Nana Patekar being after me for days and insisting that only I could sing that song.
He even wanted me to lip-sync it on screen! Of course I flatly refused to be on screen an also said that my voice wasn't what it used to be and gently turned him down! Then Laxmi (Laxmikant) called up and requested me to come home and listen to the song."
Mannada requests me not to mention the few songs he was persuaded to record after that. But he clarifies that he is very much familiar with what is happening on the music front today.
"Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are doing some nice songs. Anu Malik has also done some good work over the years. But otherwise, it is the sound that has improved tremendously since our times.
But that's more to the credit of the arrangers and therefore with the packaging, right? We have some excellent instrumentalists today. But what's the use of such talent? Arrangements minus a good composition mean nothing! The lyrics too have degenerated so much."
What about the new blood in his own field - playback singing?
"I think Sonu Niigaam is very good, he is equipped with all the knowledge needed for a singer, is keen about doing good work and puts his heart into singing and understanding what he has to sing.
Shreya Ghoshal is very good. But I will ask you something: In our wonderful country there is so much wonderful music. Every state is rich in music. But when you switch on the television, do you get to listen to anything nice?"
So where does he think the malaise lies? "Look, music is dictated by the kind of films being made, which is decided by the filmmakers. It's a demand and supply situation.
A good singer like Udit Narayan has few takers. Why do you think a singer of the calibre of Kavita Krishnamurthi (Subramaniam) hardly records? It's a lie that it is because she is not based in Mumbai!"
We request Mannada to answer a hypothetical query: If Rafi, Kishore, Mukesh and he had all been active in today's scenario, would this decline had happened, and how would they have taken it?
And the veteran replies, "We would have very, very nobly retreated!! Today our kind of singers are not needed. How could we have sung a mukhda with the word Saala in it? We could never have been a part of such indignities!"
We go to the matter of his favourite composers. Having reiterated that Shankar-Jaikishan and Laxmikant-Pyarelal are the composers he rates high (which is what he has stressed in all our talks and has said on television even recently) he has mentioned R.D.Burman and Madan Mohan in other interviews. How does he reconcile this?
"It is silly to compare great composers, unless you are familiar with musical intricacies, " he says with characteristic punch. "Madan Mohan gave me few but such soulful songs, like Tum bin jeevan (Bawarchi) and Kaun aaya mere man ke dwaare (Dekh Kabira Roya), so I am indebted to him.
Panchamda was so good. He deserves the entire credit for the complex classic that was Ek chatur naar - the song was his concept from beginning to end, and Kishore and I just executed it to out best!
See, it was less to do with the songs they called me for and more with the fact that they never got their dues in their lifetimes. Laxmi-Pyare were composers who have given me some fantastic songs right from Tum gagan ke chandrama ho in Sati Savitri - what a song that was! - to Prahaar.
As for Shankar-Jaikishan - I was closer to Shankar - they were truly magical!"
Mention that Rafi had once told a scribe, "You listen to my songs. I listen only to Manna Dey!" and he feels that it was Rafi's greatness. "I sang classical songs better than others, but soon came a time when I was called for every kind of song along with Rafi. The rest were all great singers, but had their limitations.
Rafi and I could sing everything, and he was such a gentleman. He was a better singer than me, and I will say this - that no one came even close to him! He deserved everything he got! We had a great understanding and it was never about one-upmanship, " he recalls.
A curious point: Why did a classicist like him barely sing for the classical music-oriented Naushad? "He had a terrific understanding with Mohammed Rafi, that's why!" he thunders.
Despite his classical inclinations, Mannada was very fond of Western music, and sang in his college choirs. Did that help in his Western numbers like Aao twist karen (Bhoot Bungla), Jodi hamari (Aulad) and others?
"It must have, because playback is about observation and learning from listening as well. My wife Sulochana was also responsible for teaching me a lot of Western nuances, and you may be interested in knowing that I used those finer points even in the way I rendered Aye mere pyare watan for Kabuliwala!"
Finally, we ask why he has sung in so many languages but opened his account in mother-tongue Bengali only after he made it in Hindi films? "I came to Mumbai then because I did not want to do what everyone was doing in Kolkata. But then came a time when distributors would refuse to touch a Bengali film if it did not have my song in it!"

Kandi Burruss is sticking up for her "Real Housewives of Atlanta" castmate ... saying she highly doubts Kordell Stewart's claim that Porsha Williams is a stepmomster from hell.
TMZ broke the story ... ex-Pittsburgh Steeler Stewart ripped Porsha in divorce docs last week, accusing her of partying all night, disappearing for days, and neglecting his son.
But at LAX, Kandi told us Porsha "never really did anything unless [Kordell] was comfortable with it."
She also told us Porsha's the one who sacrificed -- and you gotta see the dig she gets in at Kordell's expense.
Those 'Housewives' stick together ... until they're fighting each other.
Washed up.
Kandi only knows what Porsha has told her and nothing more. I doubt that Porsha has told Kandi any of the wrong-doing she has done to cause Kordell to file for divorce. The problem with hearing this cast mate's side of the story is that she really has no first-hand knowledge about what actually happened behind closed doors in Porsha's marriage.
Kandi knows how fake the show is better than us. Why would she trust anything that happened during filming?
Where is the "Yikes" guy?
What dig did she get in? TMZ=JOKE
There is no way thet man allowed her to be a stepmonster, his ugly butt was controlling on the show all the time he was on.
no idea who any of the 3 people in the headline are. stick to celebs. really.
Kandi is one of the few Housewives that is rational and can make sense.
So where was the dig??
Who are these people? Stick to celebrities
Kandi always says it like it is so I believe her.
Candy I like shorter hair on you I love your old wild style
Kandi knows what's up. Kordell is on the DL.

ROSHOLT, WI (WSAU) - Fire gutted a Rosholt bar Sunday morning. The Flume Creek Bar caught fire at around 3:30 in the morning. Fire Chief Chris Kluck says the fire started in the kitchen area near a large exhaust fan.
Rosholt and Stevens Point firefighters battled the blaze. The wooden building is standing, but the inside, the kitchen wall, and the roof is heavily damaged.
No one was in the bar at the time of the fire. The Saturday night crowd had left about an hour and a half before the fire broke out.

Five great places to start and this one below is a pretty big concern. Last draft season I skipped over Hightower because I felt he was too similar to Spikes. I do like both those guys but it's clear that the Patriots need another dimension to their linebacking corps.
The Patriots rounded out their starting trio of linebackers by adding Dont'a Hightower to Jerod Mayo and Brandon Spikes in the 2012 draft. The All-SEC group was stout versus the run this season, but pass coverage by linebackers proved to be an area where the Patriots' defense struggled. Both Spikes and Hightower have just average speed, and the Patriots were susceptible to backs out of the backfield as receivers. Whether it's by scheme or personnel, the Patriots' coverage on the second level has room for improvement.

Wesley is looking like a force that can be both playing 2 and 3. Bayless can play both 1 and 2. Rudy can go both 2 and 3 when we want 3 guards out there. Babbit can be 3 and 4. Dante can be a 3 or a 4. Lots of combo guys. Who do you guys think is going to be our 6th man?

|AWK > SEC Filings for AWK > Form 8-K on 10-Sep-2013
|All Recent SEC Filings
Regulation FD Disclosure, Other Events, Financial Statements a
American Water Works Capital Corp. ("AWCC") is the wholly-owned finance subsidiary of American Water Works Company, Inc. (the "Company" or the "parent company"). The Company has, from time to time in investor and analysts conferences and earnings conference calls, addressed the adverse effect of "parent company interest cost" on the Company's return on equity. This parent company interest cost results from intercompany loans, including both long term, fixed rate loans and short term, variable rate loans, from AWCC to the parent company. A majority of the parent company's borrowings under these loans replaced earlier borrowings originally incurred by the parent company as part of the acquisition financing strategy of the Company's prior owners. The total parent company borrowings and the composition of the borrowings have changed from quarter to quarter based upon the parent company's financial resources and needs. As of June 30, 2013, the parent company's total borrowings from AWCC were $1.079 billion. A portion of these borrowings were funded by AWCC out of the proceeds of AWCC's $750 million principal amount of 6.085% Senior Notes due 2017 (the "Notes"), and the parent company is obligated to pay principal and interest to AWCC in the amount necessary to enable AWCC to meet its debt service obligations with respect to the Notes. Because the parent company borrowings are not a source of capital for the Company's regulated subsidiaries, the Company is not able to recover the interest charges on parent company debt through regulated water and wastewater rates.
As more fully described in Item 8.01 and Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, AWCC has commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $300,000,000 principal amount of the Notes. As a result of related intercompany transactions, parent company borrowings incurred in connection with AWCC's sale of the Notes will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the principal amount of Notes purchased in the tender offer. However, it is expected that AWCC will fund the purchase price of the Notes and transaction costs in the tender offer initially through funds derived from the sale of commercial paper or, if necessary, through its revolving credit facility; concurrently, through an intercompany loan, the parent company will incur short term, variable rate obligations to AWCC (the "new parent company short-term obligations") in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of, and subject to the same variable rates as is applicable to, AWCC's commercial paper or revolving credit borrowings. Thereafter, AWCC intends to replace its commercial paper or revolving credit facility obligations with one or more term loans, and it concurrently will lend proceeds of the term loans under similar payment terms to the parent company, providing the parent company with financial resources to repay the new parent company short-term obligations. As a result of these transactions, the total parent company borrowings will increase; the reduction in parent company borrowings that indirectly will result from the purchase of the Notes accepted for payment by AWCC will be more than offset by new parent company borrowings in an amount equal to AWCC's borrowings to fund the purchase price of the Notes and transaction costs in the tender offer.
While parent company debt is expected to increase as a result of the tender offer, the Company anticipates that parent company interest obligations to AWCC will decrease. Based on the current interest rate environment, the Company anticipates that AWCC's interest charges under the commercial paper or revolving credit facility obligations it incurs in connection with the tender offer, and the identical interest obligations to be incurred by the parent company in its concomitant borrowings from AWCC, will be meaningfully less than the interest charges on the purchased Notes. The Company also anticipates that AWCC, and, as a result, the parent company in its concurrent borrowings from AWCC, will be able to realize a net decrease in interest charges as compared to the interest charges under the Notes purchased in the tender offer at such time as AWCC replaces the commercial paper or revolving credit facility obligations with one or more term loans. However, the Company also anticipates that interest charges under such term loans, and, therefore, the interest obligations to be incurred by the parent company in its concomitant borrowings from AWCC, will be greater than the interest charges related to the commercial paper or revolving credit facility obligations.
The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any American Water filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Certain statements in this Form 8-K are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are predictions based on the current expectations and assumptions regarding future events and relate to, among other things, the availability of term debt to replace the commercial paper or revolving credit facility obligations expected to be incurred with respect to the tender offer, and the interest rate on both the commercial paper or revolving credit facility obligations and the subsequent term loans. Actual results could differ materially because of factors such as the termination or expiration of the tender offer without the purchase of any Notes by AWCC, adverse changes in the interest rate environment, adverse changes in the debt markets, the inability to secure term loan financing, and other factors addressed in the Company's SEC filings.
On September 9, 2013, AWCC and AWCC's lenders under its revolving credit facility agreed to increase the commitments under the facility from $1 billion to $1.25 billion. In addition, the maturity of $1.11 billion under the revolving credit facility has been extended from the original maturity date of October 2017 to October 2018. The changes to the credit facility, which were effected in accordance with the existing terms of the facility, will be used for general corporate purposes. Other than the extension of the maturity date and the increased amount of the facility, the terms and conditions of the facility are unchanged.
The Company also increased its commercial paper program from $700 million to $1 billion and added an additional commercial paper dealer.
In addition, on September 10, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that AWCC is commencing a tender offer for up to $300 million of its 6.085% Senior Notes due 2017 and summarizing certain terms of the tender offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

text: Ann DruceContent marketing definitely gives you the opportunity to showcase your particular expertise and position your organisation in the market. However, as a form of publishing, it requires a disciplined approach that starts with objectives and a strategy and includes research, writing and editing to an agreed schedule. Of course, not everyone has the time, writing skills or inclination to mount a sustained content marketing campaign. And where this is the case, they need to make the leap from acknowledging the benefits of content marketing to committing the resources to make it happen.

Out All NightWritten by Jill Lawless | Published July 13, 2009
Be sure to check out the story on bat-watching by Nola McKey and Larry Ditto in the August issue of TH, coming this week to a newsstand near you. A side-note regarding the colony that roosts under Austin's Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge: Though not nearly as spectacular as the bats' mass exodus at sunset, another interesting sight for early risers is the creatures' return to the bridge after their nighttime banquet on pesky insects. I often catch a glimpse of the furry fliers when I drive over Ladybird Lake at daybreak, one by one, they dart from the sky, back to their bridge abode.
Evening StarWritten by Jill Lawless | Published July 13, 2009
Enjoyed a fabulous Friday evening last week at the kick-off of the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum's annual Music Under the Star concert series. Now in its sixth season, the mid-summer series draws hundreds, blankets and camp chairs in tow, to the museum plaza (at MLK and Congress in Austin) for an evening of outdoor music and free food. all in the shadow of the plaza's signature 10-ton bronze star. We prepared for the 100-plus temperatures by bringing plenty of water, but to our pleasant surprise, the plaza proved well shaded and bearable by late afternoon. (Exploring the fascinating museum's free admission during the event from 6 to 9 p.m., provided respite, as well.) Our feast on Rudy's barbecue, Sweet Leaf Tea, and Blue Bell Ice Cream was set to the sweet sounds of Austin Blues Society blues harp players and R&B icon Miss Lavelle White. (Fun note: The show started with a harmonica workshop and free harmonicas for the kids.) The musical lineup for future Fridays includes Toni Price, Tiburon (including salsa lessons), and Doyle Bramhall.
Why is That Dog Smiling ?Written by Charles Lohrmann | Published July 3, 2009
Even though travel destinations are the focus of Texas Highways magazine, almost every traveler relies on some kind of travel service as well. I was reminded of this fact yesterday, when I received a note from Linda Lane, the owner of Almost Home Pet Retreat in Conroe. She described her operation in which the dogs roam freely in a no-cage setting and asked if Texas Highways published articles on such topics. The short answer is "No, we cover destinations only." But then, I certainly rest easier knowing our nutty little Australian cattle dog, Sara, is in the care of the friendly folks at Taurus Training while Helen and I are away from home. Should Texas Highways include coverage of travel services?
New Orleans SaintWritten by Super User | Published July 1, 2009
I've been most fortunate to catch a number of wonderful live Austin City Limits studio appearances during my 25 years in the Capitol City's Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Steve Earle, Los Lobos, Joan Baez, and Reba McEntire, among others. Last night might have been my favorite show of all.
Legendary New Orleans pianist, composer, singer, and record producer, the elegant, 71-year old Allen Toussaint, played a 2-hour set with a terrific 6-piece band that covered the entire scope of his colossal career. From "Workin' in a Coal Mine" to "What is Success"; "Fortune Teller" to "Yes We Can Can"; "Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky" to "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley"; and "Southern Nights" to tracks from his current release, The Bright Mississippi, it was a revelation.
Throughout, Toussaint seamlessly dropped in clever samples of inspiration from an extraordinarily wide range of sources, the Louisiana piano tradition of Professor Longhair and James Booker to Chopin, Beethoven, Gershwin, Broadway, Tin Pan Alley, classic jazz, gospel, soul, funk, r&b, Steve Goodman, and Paul Simon. This masterfully musical keyboardist never failed to embellish it all with an eloquently grand gumbo of superb taste, sharp wit, and singular style.
Keep an eye on your TV Guide listings and the www.klru.org website during the 2009-2010 season to catch this remarkable performance. God bless New Orleans, and thank goodness for PBS and shows like Austin City Limits.
Closet Recyclers!Written by Lori Moffatt | Published June 29, 2009
Last week I attended a reunion of high-school chums in Oklahoma City, a seven-hour drive from Austin (though my lead-footed mother claims to do it in five). Instead of gunning it straight through, I stopped this time in Dallas to pursue one of the city's most refined competitive sports: Shopping. Thankfully (for my bank account's sake), I've discovered the cheap thrills of thrift and consignment stores.

Lavender DaytripWritten by Super User | Published June 17, 2009
I'd wanted to go to the Blanco Lavender Festival for several years, so when my daughter-in-law, an Ohio native, said she wanted to see Texas' lavender fields, a daytrip was born: We drove from Austin to Blanco on Saturday to immerse ourselves in all things lavender. Knowing it was going to be hot-hot-hot, we packed a cooler full of bottled water and made sure to take along sunscreen. We needed both.
Aside from the heat, though, we had a great time. We started at the Lavender Market, on the grounds of the Blanco County Courthouse. Mixed in with the usual festival array of arts-and-crafts booths were vendors selling lavender-themed items from sachets to smudge sticks. Both of us like scented soaps, so we honed right in on bars labeled lavender-patchouli, lavender-lemongrass, lavender-mint, and spicy lavender.
Although many of the booths were shaded, we decided after a while to get out of the heat and check out the Redbud Cafe, across the street. We weren't ready for lunch, but in order to enjoy the A/C a little longer, we opted for two glasses of lavender lemonade and shared a lavender sugar cookie and a lavender-chocolate cupcake. Our verdict: All three had a subtle lavender flavor that we liked, but we thought the sugar cookie was best.
We drifted into Brieger Pottery next door, where we found not only Jon and Jan Brieger's wonderful pottery, but a variety of artworks and gifts, including a nice selection of lavender-themed items that the shop carries year round.
Then, we hit the food tent, which featured gourmet specialties, wine, and beer, all with Texas ties. Most of the food was available for sampling, and sample we did. We tried jellies in flavors of lavender (naturally), white zinfandel, cabernet sauvignon, and peach-pecan-amaretto-jalapeno. Hey, it wasn't all about lavender. We also tasted locally produced feta cheese seasoned with roasted garlic; the cheese was preserved in olive oil, which was intriguing.
Besides sampling, we kept an eye out for a special kind of lavender tea, my daughter-in-law likes the combination of white tea leaves and lavender, and lavender-infused spices. We came up short on the tea, but we found culinary lavender, lavender-citrus sugar, and lavender-herb salt. I see some baking ahead....
From the market, we headed to the Wimberley Lavender Farm (one of the six area lavender farms on tour), where owners Neil and Karen Provost had lined up a tasting with recipes from two Terry Thompson-Anderson cookbooks, as well as miniature ponies that entertained both children and adults. Several large trees offered welcome shade. The drought has taken its toll on the farm's lavender, but we found lavender plants for sale and plenty of lavender goodies in the gift store. Best of all, we purchased a container of lavender ice cream to eat on the way home. Yum! Although the Blanco Lavender Festival is over this year, lavender usually blooms May-July, and many of the state's lavender farms welcome visitors through August.
Lavender. Good company. Daytrip. I recommend it.
Revisiting WimberleyWritten by Super User | Published June 4, 2009
Showing a friend around sometimes results in making some discoveries yourself. Such was the case when I took my Lubbock houseguest to Wimberley recently. I had visited this artsy small town before, but it had been a few years. We wandered around the square, poking into galleries and shops and soaking up the relaxed vibe. I was surprised how easy it was to get into a vacation mode, just by getting out of the city (Austin) and going to a nearby town.
Summer Camp BluesWritten by Lois M. Rodriguez | Published May 29, 2009
Every once in a blue moon, I lament the fact that I never went to summer camp as a kid (Vacation Bible School doesn't count, but thank you, Jesus.). I did the outdoorsy thing for years with my Bluebird/Camp Fire Girls, but I later grew up to realize that the "big forest" where we learned to pitch a tent, make fire and turn a coffee can into a stove was really Bay Area Park in Clear Lake area of Houston. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely, wooded park next to Armand Bayou and I've canoed from there as an adult, but it's not the wilderness. Maybe Hollywood images of summer camp (Friday the 13th aside!) makes me feel like I missed out on some real fun. It's too late for me now (or is it?), but I want to live it out vicariously through our readers. Maybe I'll get it out of my system. What is summer camp REALLY like? What kind of summer camps have you experienced? What are some of the top choices in Texas where you might consider sending your own children? I'd love to know.
Day at the MuseumWritten by Jill Lawless | Published May 20, 2009
Last year, I blogged about my family's prehistoric experience at Dinosaur Valley State Park, near Glen Rose. Laurie Jasinski's coverage of the 100th anniversary of the tracks' discovery in June Speaking of Texas inspired our most recent dino fix, a trip to the Texas Natural Science Center, in the Texas Memorial Museum on the UT-Austin campus. Outside the museum, a small building houses some of the Glen Rose sauropod and theropod tracks (awaiting restoration), among the finest examples of dinosaur trackways ever discovered. Inside, we explored the natural science of Texas on four floors, my six-year-old gravitating to the Hall of Geology and Paleontology. Here, impressive displays range from a 90-million-year-old (30 foot) mosasaur, which swam in the sea that once covered this area, to multiple meteorites that have showered the state. My son even brought along fossils he'd found in Brushy Creek for inspection by the staff paleontologist on duty. We started and ended our tour gawking at the Texas Pterosaur suspended from the ceiling of the Great Hall. With its 40-foot wingspan, the largest flying creature ever discovered, once soared over the Big Bend area. How did this giant ever get off the ground!
Mediterranean in McKinneyWritten by Jane Wu | Published May 19, 2009

Are whole spices better than ground ones?
Whole spices generally have more flavor, so buy them and grind them yourself whenever possible, says Dave Grotto, RD, a FITNESS advisory board member and author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life. However, when it comes to your health, whole and ground spices are equally good for you. The antioxidants in them are retained during the grinding process.
What's the best way to store spices?
Heat, air, and light can cause spices to lose their flavor, so keep them in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place.
How long should I keep spices?
They start to lose their flavor and health benefits after three months. Toss them after six.

"Avatar" star Sam Worthington punched a photographer who kicked Sam's girlfriend ... according to NYPD ... and both men were arrested.
Cops say Worthington and his gf Lara Bingle were walking out of a bar in Greenwich Village when the paparazzo went all Bruce Lee on Bingle for some reason ... and that's when Worthington jumped to her defense and punched the guy in the face.
Sam was charged with assault, released ... and given a ticket to appear in court at a later date.
The pap, Sheng Li, was arrested and booked for reckless endangerment, assault and harassment. He is still in custody.
Paparazzi are out of control. Punch more of them
It was probably an a-hole TMZ photographer
It should be legal to punch those losers
They'll throw out his case. It's stupid to charge him before an investigation into the incident. This is what's wrong with cops today nothing to do but charge people all for quotas and pay checks.
To those legal minds out there, can someone answer the following questions:
Why was he arrested at all?
What was this not "Defense of Another:
The right of a person to protect a third party with reasonable force against another person who is threatening to inflict force upon the third party?"
Was the force he used unreasonable, or is there another reason he was arrested (this defense doesn't apply)?
Hey...I live far from Calabassas, but if anyone see's Justine Bieber can you punch him in the face for me. TIA
Sam deserves a sucker punch for Avatar.
Nice lying headline. Shouldnt it say " Sam Worthington arrested for defending girlfriend"?
Not sure who the bigger wimp is. Sammy or the photag. In other news I hear Harv dropped a nutty log.
So, the pap knew Ms Bingle or knew of her then???And before you red arrow- maybe you should google her past history of a married footballer, tipping off the paps in Aus and the UK and all of the various other drama and mayhem that seems to follow her around...She's a poor man Kartashian sister...
If you knew his girlfriend Lara bingle, you would want to kick her too.
The title should've been...
Worthington's next Big Hit.
I was reading a book by Al Gore and he said that one day soon, the ocean and the atmosphere would integrate.
Sounds kinda impossible. But anything to help people.

I've been buying this filter for about 14 years, since I bought my refrigerator. It's easy to install and the refrigerator has lights to remind me when it's time to change. We've had friends do blind taste tests between our refrigerator water and several bottled waters and they always pick the refrigerator water as better tasting.

In the summer our water tastes like the algae that blooms in our reservoirs--this filter takes care of that problem beautifully! We've been using it for years.

Talk Back to Washington
About 90 percent of federal employees live and work outside of Washington. We wondered what they would say if they could talk to headquarters. So, we asked them. In Federal News Radio's special report, Talk Back to Washington, we provide insight for the federal manager on the workforce outside the Beltway. We find out about their working conditions, what they think of policy decisions made in Washington, and what they want Washington to know about the work they do day-in and day-out.

San Francisco
Francine Roby
San Francisco FEB Executive Director
What's the best part of working in your FEB area?
Diversity: of geography, people, and cultures.
What is the biggest drawback of working in your FEB area?
High cost of housing.
What's the one piece of advice you would give a fed moving to your area?
Take your time to get to know the various areas before you settle in.
In a word, describe feds in your area.
How are feds perceived in your area and how does that affect morale?
Feds contribute much to their local communities and enjoy good regard here. Negative perceptions reported by national media about the "public sector" or "bureaucrats" can seem like they're talking about someone else.
What's the average commute for feds in your FEB area, or your personal commute?
Personally, I can walk to work in 25 minutes or hop a bus or train for a 10 minute ride. Most feds use public transportation (rail, bus, car or vanpool) and keep their commute to an hour or less, but some have had to move farther for affordable housing and endure commutes up to two hours each way.
Is the distance from D.C. a blessing or a curse?
I think most would say it's a blessing, providing some independence. Traveling back for meetings is the curse! There are also D.C.-led conference calls at pre-dawn hours or at lunch time, and missed opportunities to be involved in discussions or decisions which affect us.
What's your area's can't miss attraction?
The new San Francisco Federal Building!
