How to Make It in America is an American comedy-drama television series that ran on HBO from February 14, 2010, to November 20, 2011. The series follows the lives of Ben Epstein (Bryan Greenberg) and his friend Cam Calderon (Victor Rasuk) as they try to succeed in New York City's fashion scene. The show's second season premiered on October 2, 2011.[1]
On December 20, 2011, HBO announced the cancellation of the show citing failure to generate a large audience and buzz.[2] Executive producer Mark Wahlberg said in an interview for GQ magazine in January 2012 that the show may return on another network.[3]
How to Make It in America followed two enterprising twenty-somethings hustling their way through New York City's fashion scene, determined to achieve their vision of the American Dream. Trying to make a name for themselves in the city's competitive fashion scene, Ben Epstein and his friend and business partner Cam Calderon use their street knowledge and connections to make their way up. With the help of their well-connected friend Domingo and Cam's cousin Rene, who has ambitions of his own—a new energy drink called Rasta-Monsta—the burgeoning entrepreneurs set out to make it big. They experience success and challenges.

Ian Edelman wrote the pilot, which the Entourage crew of Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Rob Weiss and Julian Farino executive produced. Edelman and Jada Miranda were also executive producers.[4] "This show is a fun ride through the downtown scene, examining the cross section of people and how they relate to the relevant subcultures in NYC," Weiss, who was executive producing the pilot, told the Hollywood Reporter.[5]
HBO made a free early online-only premiere available on various video sites including iTunes and YouTube.[6] Season 2 premiered on HBO on October 2, 2011.
Title sequence[edit]
The opening title sequence was created by Isaac Lobe and directing duo Josh & Xander and produced by @radical.media. The theme song, "I Need a Dollar", was performed by Aloe Blacc of Stones Throw Records.[7] Shot in New York City, the sequence comprises a video and photography montage, bringing together the show's underlying themes of "grit, hunger, ambition, the multicultural whirl of New York and the culture-transcending pursuit of the almighty dollar".[8]
The first season received mixed reviews. It currently has a score of 59/100 on review aggregator Metacritic. David Hinkley of the New York Daily News gave the show a positive review, giving the show 4/5 stars, and calling it a "winner".[9] Brian Lowry of Variety was doubtful of the series, stating "barring a dramatic leap in quality" it probably wouldn't last on pay cable.[10] Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald wrote critically, saying "this sad sack of a show plays like an East Coast, economically challenged version of his HBO hit Entourage."[11] Randee Dawn of The Hollywood Reporter said the show "isn't as textured and riveting as it thinks it is".[12] Other reviews, however, favored the show in comparison to Entourage.[13]
The second season opened to much more positive reviews and currently holds a Metascore of 79/100. [14] Maureen Ryan of Huffington Post wrote the show has "a little more discipline and focus than they did in season 1." [15] Phillip Maciak of Slant Magazine also added that the show is "anchored by gorgeous production design and the pop naturalism of its performances, How to Make It in America dramatizes this particular cultural moment with uncommon style and a little grace as well."

Criticism of Romney defies logic
Apparently, Mitt Romney is not qualified to be president because of his response to the US Egyptian embassy's statements prior to and just after the 9/11 attack on the embassy or so said a Sept. 18 letter to the editor. I miss the logic. If anything, recent events demonstrate President Obama's foreign policy failures.
According to the time line published in the New York Times, our Egyptian embassy issued it's original statement condemning a US citizen's First Amendment free speech rights, "We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal rights of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others," prior to the attack on the embassy. Approximately 12 hours later and after the attack on the Libyan embassy, the embassy tweeted "This morning's condemnation (issued before protest began) still stands. As does our condemnation of unjustified breach of the Embassy." This tweet was later deleted.
Four hours later Secretary of State Clinton issued a statement condemning the embassy attacks and the video allegedly responsible for the attacks. The 9/11 connection eluded the Secretary I suppose even though the video in question was released in July 2012.
Within minutes of the Secretary's statement Politico reported the Obama administration disavowed the embassy statements. Gov. Romney issued his statement after the disavowal. "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
Our Egyptian embassy represents us and the administration and the embassy did stand by their original statement. Secretary Clinton did condemn the attacks but only after deploring an "effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others."
Gov. Romney wasn't off base with his comments. The administration's responses to the attacks in Libya and Egypt should have condemned the attackers exclusively and forcefully. There are no excuses for the attacks.
Gov. Romney is criticized for his comment while the president is embroiled in the crisis, but what does the president do? He jets off to Las Vegas for a fund raising event. Gotta keep things in perspective you know.
Robert Voytilla, Hubbard
President Obama sympathized with the terrorists? I never heard him do that and the audacity of any candidate to use this event as political fodder is beneath contempt.
Hey Robert, how can you type with that big ring on?
How can he type trying to see through that little hole where his head is stuck.
The Tax Cheating Mitt-Flopper defies logic.
Mr. Voytilla...all attacks were condemed on that day. What incorrect information do you have exactly? I hardly call sending destroyers to Lebanon and Syria an act of kowtowing, or apologizing in the least. Also remember, Romney made some questionable remarks on his world tour during the London Olympics. Also he came out and said the exact same thing you did...without knowing that the Amabassador was killed in the attacks on the Embassy.
Robert, Bobby...c'mon man!!! Do you see the irony in your title "defies logic"? That perfectly describes your premise. If Obama sneezes you right-wingers claim he caused a hurricane. The "logical" people in this world know that Obama is a steady hand and Romney is a guy who couldn't even go to the Olympics without insulting all of England. The Middle East is evolving and there will be two steps forward and one back. All the more reason to have an insightful person in office. I've never seen a person quite like Romney; supposedly intelligent but his campaign and his gaffes show him to be ill-equipped for office. Mitt is Unfitt. Robert, you'd be advised to sign up for a class in Logic at YSU. You'll write better letters and make better decisions.

Novell Dismisses AppArmor Developer
Two years after acquiring the company that developed AppArmor Novell has dismissed the developer behind the security technology.
The AppArmor Linux security technology is mainly the brainchild of one man: Crispin Cowan, the founder and CEO of Immunix, which was acquired by Novell two years ago. Cowan has now confirmed his dismissal, effective as of September 28; four other people working on the project were dismissed at the same time He was surprised by the decision at the time, says Crispin; he had received salary increases and bonus payments right up to the end. Novell has been unwilling to comment on this move, thus far. Cowan has joined forces with two other people affected by the dismissals, Steve Beattie and Dominic Reynolds to found a new consultancy agency called Mercenary Linux which will focus on AppArmor development and technologies.
Hired, fired and now his own boss again: AppArmor developer Crispin Cowan.
Novell uses AppArmor in its enterprise distribution, Suse Linux Enterprise Server, and intends to carry on updating the software and releasing it on Novell websites. In 2006, Novell released AppArmor as an Open Source technology, and the development process has changed considerably since then. Crispin does not think it is sufficient to leave development of AppArmor up to the community, and is looking for sponsors for the security technology. He would also be happy to sell his new company, with its portfolio of AppArmor services, if a sponsor is interested.
Besides Novell, Canonical, the company behind the free Ubuntu Linux distribution, will be using AppArmor for its next Ubuntu version; and the new Mandriva Linux 2008 distribution also includes the security solution. In contrast to this, Red Hat relies on the competing technology, Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux).

The sunset on Friday and Saturday will be extraordinary as it will create the twice-a-year phenomenon known as 'Manhattanhenge.'
The term was coined by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
The spectacle occurs when the sun sets and lines itself with the street grid of Manhattan, illuminating all east -west streets at the same time.
'Manhttanhenge' occurred on Friday at 8:28 p.m. and again on Saturday at 8:27 p.m., according to the U.S. Navy's Astronomical Applications Department.
After Saturday, the setting sun will not align in the same way until next year.

Hilarious threat
By Momma6
from Alabama
I had seen this sign years ago in a store. It's such a funny threat, and I wondered if the store owner was trying to make a sale or a point. Anyway, with 6 well-behaved children, I knew my husband would appreciate the humor. He added it to his garage wall.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

'Deus Ex: Human Revolution'
A nice first person sneaker game (if you want to). Multiple ways to solve missions, by stealth or just killing everything, or a mix between them. A nice storyline, but the boss-fights are not anything special, but it didn't really matter to me, the game would still be good even if they skipped the bosses and just replaced them with video. The main fun thing (for me at least) was the sneaking around.

I have a unique drinking problem. I won't share a glass of anything with my own wife. Swapping spit during a kiss presents no problem, since I am in love. Yet the champagne switch toast? Gross!
I didn't really understand my phobia until last year, when my sister -- who, unlike me, is not otherwise crazy -- explained that she won't share a glass with her husband, either. When we were toddlers, apparently, our stereotypically overprotective Jewish mother warned us how much sickness and death would result from this act of germ-spreading outlandishness.
And so, here we are, in our 40s and, ahem, not sick at all. (To be fair, Mom was merely a victim of her own dysfunctional upbringing. So I forgive her. However, that doesn't solve the problem.)
How I found the one woman on earth willing to put up with this nonsense is beyond me, but I did. Jo Ann constantly negotiates the tightrope between following a long list of rules to sidestep my triggers, and becoming a slave to both me and my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. She will give me tons of shit, both privately and publicly. But she will eggshell it around my sensitive issues. Last month, I almost drank from her glass by accident. "No!" she screamed, as if saving me from some rational danger.
At Jo Ann's insistence, I'm in therapy. She attends most sessions -- both to get a better handle on my problems and because my memory is not good enough to recall all the times I piss her off. Marriage is like a tape recorder for everything the husband does and says wrong, with no erase function.
At least once during our monthly really bad fight, Jo Ann will express doubt about my progress. After three years of therapy, she wonders if I've plateaued. My shrink doesn't agree -- an opinion I would trust more if she didn't enjoy being paid on a regular basis. But I'm worried. Frankly, I have never seen the payday in our relationship for Jo Ann. As difficult as you might find this to believe, I am not a laugh a minute to live with.
So tonight, I prescribed myself a dose of what is known as exposure therapy. No longer would I be phobia's inmate. I waited for the woman I love to set her water glass down between bites of her Greek salad and prepared for a new life of freedom. My eyes closed as her glass approached my lips. I imagined sauntering down a city street, grabbing half-finished drinks of God-knows-what off vacated restaurant tables and downing them with mother-ignoring abandon.
I gulped and… Gross!
OK, well, baby steps.

I too have the same phobia! I have had it for as long as I've had children, 23 years now. As a kid and then as a teen I had no issues whatsoever because I never put much thought into it, I could have drank anything from anyone's glass no problem, then when my oldest started trying to drink from my glass at around 1-ish and I could see backwash it was over. Anytime I think someone-anyone-husband included tried to drink from my glass/bottle/can I have to start fresh, it just gives me the creeps.
Such a little thing... my mom was the same way... and my daughter is the same... I would say if this is is her only reason for sending you to thearpy...you are doing better than most.
I was the same way until I was about 13 or 14 and really hungry and found a couple of dollars I used to buy an ice cream. Another girl asked if she could share, and since I knew being hungry isn't fun I agreed. I was kind of grossed out by the time she took her first bite and put her saliva covered spoon back into the ice cream, but my hunger pains soon got me over it.
But you have sex. You have issues. Keep going to the therapist.
NoWei, thats what a phobia is, an irrational fear. You know its odd but your subconcious brain over rides the concious
So they have sex, yes but thats not what his brain was trained to think will cause unspeakable ill health
Take me, fear of syringes. Full blown panic attack if I even see one. Not even blood done in pregnancy as it was deemed unsafe given my reaction
But I could go get my tounge, bellybutton and lip pierced, no issues.
Only because a piercing needle looks nothing like a syringe
Completly irrational and I know it but put a syringe near me and I have no control over my reaction

Union Institute & University (UI&U) is a private, non-profit university, which specializes in limited residence and distance learning programs. With the main campus in Cincinnati, Union Institute & University operates satellite campuses located in Montpelier, Vermont; Brattleboro, Vermont; North Miami Beach, Florida; Los Angeles, California; and Sacramento, California.
Union Institute & University received regional accreditation from The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1985 and currently enrolls approximately 2,000 students from across the country.
Union Institute & University traces its origins to 1964, when a group of ten liberal arts colleges established The Union for Research and Experimentation in Higher Education. The consortium, headquartered at the campus of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, included a number of schools experimenting with alternative education philosophies during the period, including Antioch; Sarah Lawrence College; Bard College; Hofstra University; Goddard College; Franconia College; and Nasson College. Renamed The Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities in 1969, The Union directed its focus toward providing educational opportunities for non-traditional students whose needs were best served by a low-residency college experience,[1] as well as those students who sought to conduct socially relevant research in an interdisciplinary manner. Since its inception in the 1960s, The Union has a continuing emphasis in its programs on social relevance and interdisciplinarity of research.
The consortium provided administrative support for a number of programs run by its member schools under the title The University Without Walls. It also formed a graduate school called The Union Graduate School, which offered a Ph.D. in Arts and Sciences. The consortium filed for bankruptcy in 1978. Emerging from its bankruptcy, the institution renamed itself The Union Institute in 1986. Doctoral programs were based on the tutorial system.
As the Union Institute, the school acquired Vermont College in Montpelier, Vermont from Norwich University. In October, 2001, Union was renamed Union Institute & University. The purchase of Vermont College added several Masters degree programs and an Adult Degree Program to Union Institute & University's existing undergraduate and doctoral programs. This enabled The Union to provide a progression of degree opportunities, along with certificates in advanced graduate study.
The Union Institute & University's Ph.D. program came under scrutiny by the Ohio Board of Regents, culminating in a 2002 Reauthorization Report. In response to the Report, The Union has undergone major academic and structural changes, including dissolution of The Union Graduate School and restructuring of Ph.D. programs..[2] The Ph.D. in Arts and Sciences, for example.was redesigned to a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies.

KHQ.COM - The FBI has still not
located the letter believed to be sent by Matthew Buquet of Spokane, to the CIA. The FBI thinks there is
ricin inside the letter. In the small chance the public comes in contact with the document, the FBI urges that you do not open it and you pass it on to law enforcement
immediately. The FBI believes
Buquet may have sent five ricin letters in
total to Fairchild Air Force Base, a Federal Judge, the
post office, the CIA
and the President.

1. TORREY SMITH WILL BEAT THE BRONCOS DEEP AGAIN: In last year's playoffs, Smith twice beat Champ Bailey for long touchdowns receptions. Bailey could be sidelined Thursday with a foot injury, so new Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie may instead draw the assignment of covering Smith. Either way, though, I like the speedster's chances of getting behind the Denver defense to produce another big play against a secondary that could start youngsters Rahim Moore and Duke Ihenacho at safety. Outside of that, though, don't be surprised if Smith struggles to shake free of press coverage. That's what happened when these teams met in the 2012 regular season.

3. WES WELKER WILL BE PEYTON'S FAVORITE TARGET: Denver's big offseason addition was former New England Patriots slot machine Wes Welker, who caught 672 passes in six seasons with Tom Brady and the Patriots. Now the lucky guy is running routes for another sure-fire Hall of Famer in Manning. The Broncos already have a pair of tall, dangerous outside receivers in Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, and those guys will be a handful for the Ravens secondary. But I see him targeting Welker the most Thursday. Graham is likely to cover Welker in the slot and he had trouble sticking with him at times in the playoffs last season.
4. ELVIS DUMERVIL WILL SACK HIS FORMER QUARTERBACK: Dumervil only played one season with Manning in Denver, but in practice every day he saw how difficult it was to get to Manning. Not only do the Broncos have a pretty good offensive line, but Manning also has one of the NFL's quickest trigger fingers. Even with Dumervil, Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata, the Ravens' rush might only sack Manning a couple of times. But look for Dumervil to get at least one of them. This week, he downplayed playing his old team, but he is supremely motivated to have a monster game.

IgA nephropathy
Nephropathy refers to damage, disease , or other abnormalities of the kidney. IgA nephropathy is a kidney disorder in which antibodies to a protein called IgA build up in kidney tissue.
It is also called Berger's disease.
Alternative Names
Nephropathy - IgA; Berger's disease
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
IgA is a protein that helps the body fight infections. IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease) occurs when too much of this protein is deposited in the kidneys. IgA builds up inside the small blood vessels of the kidney. Structures in the kidney called glomeruli become inflamed.
IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease) is a form of mesangial proliferative nephritis.
The disorder can appear suddenly (acute), or progress slowly over many years (chronic glomerulonephritis).
Risk factors include::
- A personal or family history of IgA nephropathy or Henoch Schonlein purpura, a form of vasculitis that affects many parts of the body
- Caucasian or Asian ethnicity
IgA nephropathy can occur in persons of all ages, but most often affects males in their teens to late 30s.
There may be no symptoms for many years.
Symptoms include:
- Bloody urine that starts during or soon after a respiratory infection
- Repeated episodes of dark or bloody urine
- Hand and feet swelling
- Symptoms of chronic kidney disease
Signs and tests
IgA nephropathy usually is discovered after one or more episodes of dark or bloody urine in a person with no other symptoms of kidney disorder.
There are no specific changes seen during a physical examination. Occasionally, blood pressure may be high or swelling of the body may be present.
Tests include:
- Creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to measure kidney function
- Urinalysis will show blood and protein in the urine
- Kidney biopsy confirms the diagnosis
- Urine immunoelectrophoresis
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent or delay chronic renal failure.
Medicines may be given to control high blood pressure and swelling (edema). Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are used. Controlling blood pressure is the most important measure to delay kidney damage.
Corticosteroids, other immunosuppressive drugs, and fish oil have also been used to treat this disorder.
Salt and fluids may be restricted to control swelling. A low to moderateprotein diet may be recommended in some cases.
Some people will need to take medicines to lower their cholesterol.
Eventually, many patients must be treated for chronic kidney disease.
Support Groups
For additional information and support, see the IgA Nephropathy Support Network website (www.igansupport.org).
Expectations (prognosis)
IgA nephropathy progresses slowly. In many cases, it does not progress at all. High blood pressure, large quantities of protein in the urine, and increased BUN or creatinine levels (blood tests that reflect kidney functioning) indicate a higher risk for progression of the disorder.
About 25% of adults with IgA nephropathy develop end-stage kidney failure within about 25 years.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have bloody urine or if your urine output decreases.

By 1st Lt. Joe Trovato, Wisconsin National Guard
PARK FALLS, WI (ANG) - Soldiers from the Ashland, Wis.-based 829th Engineer Company got real-world military occupation specialty training while also helping the U.S. Forest Service this fall.
The engineer company, which trains for construction and infrastructure improvement missions at home and abroad, lent a helping hand to the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest near Ashland, Wis. Over the course of the fall, the unit constructed a six-mile hiking path using a skid steer and crushed granite. Approximately 120 Soldiers who took part also replaced boards along a three-mile boardwalk near the visitor center and built handicap-accessible stairs at a ranger station in Park Falls, Wis.
A 35-Soldier detachment based in Richland Center, Wis., constructed bridge sections for use throughout the national forest, while 45 Soldiers at the Chippewa Falls, Wis., armory constructed sign boards that were installed at various locations in the forest.
The projects spanned multiple drill weekends, but the work gave the Soldiers of the 829th Engineer Company a hands-on training experience that also benefited the greater public.
"By assisting the community, I am able to provide my Soldiers high quality training with no construction material cost to the Wisconsin Army National Guard," explained Capt. Kyle Gruber, the unit's commander.
Working alongside civilian electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and masons exposed his Soldiers to a higher level of expertise as well.
"My Soldiers learn far more than they would completing the [public works] projects on a military installation," Gruber said.
The U.S. Forest Service was more than happy to have the help and to provide the National Guard with a valuable training opportunity.
"It's one of those things that's pretty cool, because it uses resources that the forest can provide in the way of materials and resources and that the National Guard can supply in the way of personnel in order to do work for the good of the public," said Jason Maloney, the director of the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center. "It also provides necessary training to keep a National Guard unit in our state combat ready.
"It's a darned economical use of public funds through cooperation, and at the same time it improves our national defense," he added. "It's just like a diamond. Any way you want to turn it, it's a beautiful thing, because you're using resources very wisely. It's a win-win for both organizations - the National Guard and the national forest."
The visitor center director, who presides over a 37,000 square-foot facility that houses several state and federal agencies, expressed optimism that the National Guard and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest can work together again in the future.
"I think this is just the beginning," he said. "There is much cooperation that we'll be able to do between our organizations."
The engineer company already has several other community-based projects in the works, including more trail construction, a shooting range complex for a local sheriff's department and a roofing and renovation project at a U.S. Forest Service ranger station.
While completing community projects benefit the state's residents, Gruber and the rest of the 829th Engineer Company relish the opportunities.
"This program is truly a win-win for both the Wisconsin Army National Guard and the local communities," he said. "Taxpayers are getting the best bang for their buck as they pay once and get twice the product. For the company first sergeant and me, it is all about getting back to fundamental military occupation specialty skills and team building."

Chicago On YouTube: Conan O'Brien's Favorite Chicago Foods
I have no problem with Conan pointing out our gluttonous ways. I am guilty as charged, can often be found shoving food in my gullet until I feel like exploding beef and thick, pizza sauce all over the unfortunate schlubs around me. His choices though are so mundane! They're exactly what you'd expect. So here I am offering you three alternatives to Conan's "suggestions."

- Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
- Release Date: May 10, 2013
- Starring: Carey Mulligan, Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey maguire
- Summary: An adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Long Island-set novel, where Midwesterner Nick Carraway is lured into the lavish world of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Soon enough, however, Carraway will see through the cracks of Gatsby's nouveau riche existence, where obsession, madness, and tragedy await.
- Director: Baz Luhrmann
- Genre(s): Drama, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 19 out of 45
Mixed: 23 out of 45
Negative: 3 out of 45
It's a terrific adaptation that succeeds not only as a work of cinema but also, wonderfully, as proof of the novel's greatness. In short, the picture rebukes the revisionists even while entertaining them.
As a purely sensory experience at the movies you're hard-pressed to find anything more dazzling than the first 90 minutes of The Great Gatsby, when Luhrmann's riotous amusements make anything possible.
The actors emote up a summer storm. Maguire's otherworldly coolness suits the observer drawn into a story he might prefer only to watch. DiCaprio is persuasive as the little boy lost impersonating a tough guy, and Mulligan finds ways to express Daisy's magnetism and weakness.
More often, Gatsby feels like a well-rehearsed classic in which the actors say their lines ably, but with no discernible feeling behind them.
There are so many things wrong with Luhrmann's Great Gatsby - the filmmaker's attention-deficit-disorder approach, the anachronistic convergence of hip-hop and swing, the choppy elision of Fitzgerald's plot, the jarring collision of Jazz Age cool and Millennial cluelessness. But at the crux of things, the problem is that it's impossible to care.
So much effort seems to have gone into the eye-popping production design, swooping camera work and anachronistic musical score that the result is hyper-active cacophony rather than enthralling entertainment.
I love the publicity quotes by Baz Luhrmann stating that his intention was to make an epic romantic vision that is enormous. Also: overwrought, asinine, exaggerated and boring. But in the end, about as romantic as a pet rock.
Score distribution:
Positive: 126 out of 176
Mixed: 28 out of 176
Negative: 22 out of 176
May 10, 2013Saw this when it opened. Had low expectations because of movie critics who obviously grew up in the wrong era. The quality of the book is revived perfectly; It's a period peace, but transcends period with its subtle hints of modern music and style. Every actor was perfectly cast. It's heavy use of Art Deco (my favorite architectural style) fills the screen with beauty that reaches for the heavens, however unattainable they were and still are.
Gatsby looks to the past not with nostalgia, but with regret of what was and what will never be.
p.s. I am usually very anti-3d but this movies 3d really pulls you into the grandness of it all.… Expand
May 20, 2013I have not a fan of anything captured on film never revisited twice serials, films, or something else, but at the Gatsby I want to go a second time. Once again savor the views of New York, the story interpreted Luhrmann again. This is the best thing I've ever watched, this is the best interpretation of the book on the big screen… Collapse
Aug 10, 2014I finally decided to see this film, despite its low ratings. I was pleasantly surprised and can now safely say that I understand why the novel is such a central piece of American literature.
As for the film, the acting is top notch, and the only thing I really disliked is the modern music. Outside of that, I thought it was a very profound story with some great messages and a fascinating central character.… Expand
Dec 18, 2013Beautiful, extravagent, and as over the top as one would expect, Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby does a brilliant job capturing the beauty and wealth possessed by Gatsby. This film is pure eye candy, yet it does have some substance beneath it and I think it did a swell job capturing the essence of the novel and telling the fateful tale of Jay Gatsby. In addition, the acting, led by Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Carey Mulligan, was great as well.
Only negatives in this film were the beginning, which was far too hectic and scattered, as well as the soundtrack. While I am a fan of hip hop, it seemed extraordinarily out of place in this film, which is supposed to be set in the 1920's. More period appropriate music should have chosen and ultimately, the soundtrack made it seem almost clumsy. However, the sets were beyond gorgeous and with beautiful shot after shot, this should win best production and best costume design on pure beauty alone. Just wow, the eye candy of each shot admittedly won my heart.… Expand
Aug 17, 2013This is a film that takes a while to get into the story although the visuals are constant like all of Baz Lurhmann's work. I do wish there was more character development and the film was a little shorter, but overall a solid effort. B… Expand
Jul 27, 2014Glossy to where it's nauseating. A music track missing the era by at least eight decades. And bland performances from all with the exception of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. It dragged on for at least thirty minutes. And the script is just as bland as the actors' acting. And too much color. Baz Luhrmann, you have s**t for talent.… Expand
Nov 15, 2013This is probably the most uninteresting movie. You shouldn't put newer music in a movie that's supposed to take place in 20's, the music threw everything off. Yeah the movie should only be partially like the book but since the book is a really good classic you guys screwed everything up. Leonardo dicaprio is an amazing actor and is good in this movie but the rest of actors is just a no.… Expand

In response to reports of intercom failures and a request from the Tri-Oversight Committee to investigate, Metro railcar engineers have identified the root of the problem with the on-board intercom systems not functioning on certain trains.
According to Metro's website, the intercom systems do not work properly when 6000-series railcars are the lead car. When the 6000-series cars are in front, the intercoms in 1000-series or 4000-series cars on the back-end do not work.
"Now that the issue has been identified and verified by engineering staff, we are taking appropriate action to immediately mitigate the situation and resolve it as quickly as possible," said General Manager and CEO Richard Sarles.
Sarles called for the following actions on Tuesday:
1.) Railcars must be immediately realigned to ensure the 6000-series are not in front of 1000-series or 4000-series cars until the technical problems were fixed.
-Metro workers completed the task overnight. All trains were cleared by Wednesday.
2.) The Metro staff must take all necessary actions appropriate to expedite the process including working overtime.
-In order to fix the technical issues dealing with 1000-series trains, new control panel components must be installed in the 184 cars of the 6000-series group. Metro has installed the parts in the first 20 cars and plans to reach the remaining cars in the next 45 days.
-In order to fix the technical problems dealing with the 4000-series, the cars need a software update. A time period to complete this action hasn't been determined yet.
3.) Metro safety officers are to conduct random sport-checks of the intercom systems while the train is in service.
-Spot-checks started on Wednesday. Trains with intercom systems that did not work were to be removed from service.
4.) Metro is to thoroughly review the diagnostic process to determine if the issue could have been detected sooner.
-The results of the review will be shared with the Board Safety and Security Committee during a public session.
Railcar intercom signals are transmitted from one car to another through the "train-line" cable. The cable has the audio for PA announcements and intercoms, the open and close door electronic commands and the LED signs data.

MILWAUKEE (WSAU-Wheeler News) Milwaukee has recorded its 16th death of a baby this year due to unsafe sleeping conditions. The medical examiner's office said a five-month-old boy was found dead by her mother late Sunday afternoon, after they spent most of the day sleeping together in her queen-sized bed.
Experts say the safest way for a baby to sleep is in a crib.
Officials said the baby's home had three cribs, all filled with clothes, baby supplies, and other items. The mother told officers she was not intoxicated, and she had just two glasses of wine before going to bed with her infant.

When on life's seas I'm tempest tossed,
And my hopeful smile is all but lost,
When I need to survive at any cost,
You are my anchor.
My life is filled with simple pleasures,
My loved ones' smiles I count as treasures,
When kisses are how life is measured,
You are the standard.
As time soars on and birthdays fly,
My hair is graying, I don't care why,
My mind is sharp, but not my eyes,
You are my youth.
Love is patient, love is kind,
And to the lucky, love is blind,
But when it comes to love that binds,
You are my love.
This pledge that l,Ntando, make today serves

for the sake of our love life.

situations of our life.

I shall treat you with the love and care
that you deserve as my husband.
Indeed I shall treat you with
the dignity and nobility that is befitting
of the king of my heart.
On my mind it is always fresh
that I am the flesh of your flesh.
Green or grown
I am the bone of your bone.
I know very well what I am getting into:
I am getting into a relationship that
elevates me into a kingdom of wifehood.
I shall endevour to put my family first
with all the rights, obligations
and privileges that come with wifehood.
I shall endevour to wipe off and ward off
loneliness and lostness from our relationship,
seeking nothing but your companionship;
banking on your stewardship,
sinking together any hardship.
Since you are mine
I shall not do anything else to undermine
our relationship for personal
or egotistical
Now and forever
I am your lawful and loving wife…
Love is a secret . . . Keep it
Love is a rose . . . Grow with it
Love is a mystery . . . Unfold it
Love is an adventure . . . Chance it
Love is beauty . . . Pamper it
Love is a song . . . Sing it
Love is a struggle . . . Deal with it
Love is sorrowful . . . Mourn with it
Love is a book . . . Renew it
Love is a fire inside . . . Never let it die
Theres a reason why you are together,my dears
Possibly brought to one another by chemistry
I hope it was pure devoted love that brought you here
Made you want to spend the rest of your years
Your better half
The better part of you
The missing piece
The one who makes you, the complete you
An angel
A gift from heaven above
Your very best friend,
The one that shows you so much love
Two kindred spirits drawn together from past lives
Some may call it fate, my dears
But as for my love and me
I call it a miracle brought on by destiny
September-your choice contest
As later today
tis man came the same
Asking me
If I had the answer for him
He said... he shall still wait
Then he went on
He said.. we will have
the biggest Wedding ever
I shall wear my Navy Blue Tux
And you may wear..
Tis Beautiful Wedding dress
It will be so grand
We shall invite all people
All over the land...
We will have a Flower girl
Ring barrier...
I want to give you the whole
Not like some men do
just go before a judge..
tis Not the right way to go
I want everyone to see
I want everyone to know
For You are so Beautiful
Far more than I can ever ask
Please Will you marry me???
Take your time...
I shall wait..
I have waited this long
How about a date???
We shall go dancing
Out on the town
I shall wear my Blues
You wear your hair
Half up and half down
I looked at him..
than I said..
tis strange you say
such things. unto me
for I have not spoken of...
such things.. to you
How did you know
He than said
What do you mean???
I than told him...
What dreams I have had
He than said
Wow... tis be
You and Me?
I than said..
I shall pray..
for God will
time shall tell
You've always been there for me
Right from the start.
Everything you do
Comes straight from the heart.
When I think of you
My heart fills with love.
And this feeling my dear
Is what life is made of.
You've given me passion, love,
And total bliss.
And all it took
Was just one kiss.
I knew from the moment
I first lay eyes on you
That a life without you in it
Would just never do.
I am honored that you chose me
To be your wedded wife,
And by your side I'll stay
For the rest of my life.
I Love You
You are where I belong
You are the melody I feel in every song
It seems as if I have been waiting a lifetime for love
Tell me is that what you've been thinking of
In my past relationships I use to rebel
When I see you I know you are my angel
Sent from the brightest of stars
Trust me I know who you are
That was differently heaven sent
So the love I have for you please don't resent
Remember you filled my empty heart
When it was torn apart
You made my life whole
I love you from the depths of my soul
You are the part that completes my day
You are the words that I don't say
You are the only one I adore
I could ask for nothing more
You gave my life that needed spark
When I am lost in the dark
You are my shinning light
Without you in my life it doesn't feel right
When your lips touch mine there is a sweetness I've never known
I know I am where I belong, in your heart now that is home
"The best way to love is to love like you have never been hurt."
Jeffrey L Lee
Your face,
Made a fake smile, (you said)
I love you,
I need you,
I want you just for a while,
You told me,
That I made you smile,
All the things you said to me,
Are just words now,
How can we love,
When you love me for yourself,
(This Aint Love)
Chorus: 2x
What are we doin,
If this love ain't real,
What is this feeling,
That I feel,
I'm broken in emotion,
I'm broken in love, (you said)
I need you,
I want you
You're the only one,
I'm thinkin of, (so tell me)
How can we love,
When there's always someone else,
(This Aint Love)
Chorus 2x
How can we love,
When there's always someone else,
How can we make up,
When you only love me for yourself,
verse #3:
You got me imprisoned,
Inside your heart,
When kissed
I felt, Like we,
Would never be apart,
chorus 2x
I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.
Sometimes things are up,
And sometimes they are down,
Sometimes black is white,
And sometimes it is brown.
All the rivers flowing,
Back to the sacred sea,
All the monkeys climbing,
Up the very same tree.
You think you know a lot,
Think you know it all,
But the autumn leaves are falling,
At the north wind's lonely call.
The thinking of the meaning,
The reasons lost and gone,
At last the place is ready,
A vacant holy throne.
The emptiness that fill you,
Fills you from inside,
Is the treasure you are holding,
The bridegroom's holy bride.
And now the north wind's blowing,
Blowing down the Way,
And now we sit here waiting,
For the bridegroom's wedding day.

How the mobile landscape is changing in the most profound ways
Today, 'mobile carrier' doesn't mean 'cellular only' anymore.
To serve mobile users demand carriers are starting to use open wireless standards like Wi-Fi. AT&T in US and Free in France started to offload some of their traffic onto their own Wi-Fi networks. Many other technologies are emerging to facilitate the use of open wireless standards, as it appears that there is a crunch in licensed spectrum.
Re-Imagination of Wireless Networks
With Open Garden we imagined a world where each portable device: smartphones, tablets, laptops and any other wireless device interconnect among each other seamlessly to form a P2P mesh network that automatically routes the Internet traffic through the best available off-ramp. The Open Garden application is a full software solution that can be deployed by any mobile network in a record time. It also enables the use of multiple networks at once making Open Garden a relevant solution to support the huge amount of data coming from video streaming applications. Mobile video traffic is supposed to be multiplied by a factor of 10 in the next 5 years according to Cisco.

Fiscal Court Votes No to Control Ordinance
County Attorney Clay Massey Bishop Jr. gave the first reading the Animal Control Ordinance Wednesday. Fiscal Court members voted it down.
The fate of the Clay County Animal Shelter is in the air after the Clay County Fiscal Court voted "no" to the first reading of an animal control ordinance that would bring them in compliance with the state.
The call to come into compliance with state law was initiated a little over a year ago, when a local citizen on behalf of the Humane Society filed a lawsuit against the former County Judge-Executive and administration.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Sheriff's officials know that it's never easy for kids to visit their parents who are behind bars – especially at Christmas-time.
So in Madison, all children who visit the Dane County Jail have been getting a stuffed animal and a new book as part of a program called "Books and Bears."
Sergeant Michael Connors says jail visits are especially scary for some youngsters. He says the books and stuffed animals make it more comfortable for the children – it gives them a positive encounter with officers – and it brightens the holidays for the families, at a difficult time for them.
Community donations provide the funding.

The DWR treated nylon shell helps by resisting wetness, even on slushy days The 280g high-loft synthetic insulation keeps you roasting when the temps are approaching zero.

Publication: The Day
The UConn men's basketball coaching staff will ride a wave of momentum into the crucial July recruiting period.
The program has emerged from a stormy period during which the coaches had to deal with the impact of last season's postseason ban and answer questions about the long-term status of head coach Kevin Ollie.
In his first season, Ollie did a masterful job turning a negative into a positive, leading the highly-motivated Huskies to several impressive wins on the way to a 20-10 season. He was rewarded with a five-year contract just before the start of their final Big East season.
Now the Huskies are hoping to capitalize on their success and momentum.
"A lot was gained with our success last season," associate head coach Glen Miller said. "There's so much negative recruiting. (People were saying) the program is falling apart. We dispelled all those negative thoughts and perception.
"The program is in good hands. Everybody is back. We have a chance to be very good this year. � Players are motivated for team success and individual success. It's a great situation and projects positively to recruits."
In recent weeks, the coaching staff has focused on laying the groundwork for the July recruiting period and narrowing their wish list of top players in the Class of 2014. Their primary needs are a combination guard and power forward.
"You don't want to go out and spread yourself too thin," Miller said. "We want to hone in on kids. � We've had a lot of meetings, a lot of phone calls and shared a lot of information with each other."
Ollie, Miller, and assistants Karl Hobbs and Ricky Moore will rack up the frequent flier miles traveling the country to attend AAU events and evaluate players.
The hectic schedule leaves Miller little time to play golf.
That's okay with Miller, who enjoys the recruiting process.
"We're in a great position," he said. "We're excited. We're selling a great situation to the kids."
Non-conference tests
Strength of schedule will be even more important for UConn this season now that it has moved from the Big East to the American Athletic Conference.
The Huskies are building a challenging non-conference schedule. They could play three teams that competed in the NCAA tournament last season. They host Florida (Dec. 2) and Harvard and may meet Indiana in the 2K Sports Classic.
Stanford, which went 19-15 last season and played in the NIT, will visit UConn. Maryland, a 25-win team and NIT semifinalist, will face UConn on Nov. 8 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
UConn will host Boston University and Detroit in the early rounds of the 2K Sports Classic before heading to the event's final four at Madison Square Garden. The Huskies take on Boston College on Nov. 21 while Indiana and Washington play in the other semifinal. Finals are set for Nov. 22.
Other non-conference home games include Yale (Nov. 11) and Eastern Washington (Dec. 28). UConn also will likely travel to Washington.
News and notes
It is highly unlikely that reserve center Enosch Wolf will return for his senior season. Wolf has the option of coming back as a walk-on after losing his scholarship. He served an eight-game suspension after his arrest last February for his involvement in an on-campus domestic dispute. He received counseling and eventually had his charges dropped. � Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright will attend the Point Guard Skills Academy in Union, N.J., starting on Monday.

The LBD(little black dress) is always in style, regardless of season.
Black and white can be molded to any style or personality. They can be fun and flirty...
Or they can be sophisticated, sleek, and elegant.
The can also be funky or crazy...
...or they can be dark and edgy. Even white can pull this off.
Adding a fierce pop of color to black and white this season is blue: clear, bright shades of azure and cobalt shine against black and white in fabulous, cheerful accessories.
And of course, let's not forget the jewelry, and essential to any wardrobe!
So...go get some black, white, and blue to spure up your inner fashionista, or if you're broke like me, take an old piece of clothing and turn it into something fabulous. And, as always, go give a big round of applause to the featured artists in this article, and check out their galleries to see their amazing talent!

Yes There is a 'Tintin' Sequel Coming. Yes It's Coming in 2015. Yes Peter Jackson Will Direct It
Who out there saw The Adventures of Tintin when it was released into theatres last year? More people overseas saw the movie than here in the U.S ($300 million made overseas compared to $77 million here) and I'll admit, it took me about a month after its release to go and see it. But I'm glad I did as it was a great adventure movie in the vein of Indiana Jones. And l for those of you who really enjoyed it like I did, a sequel is on its way….in 2015
The first Tintin movie was directed by Steven Spielberg and was actually the first of two movies he had out last year (the other being War Horse). War Horse got all the accolades but Tintin I felt was a better movie. Peter Jackson was the producer on Tintin and from the very beginning both he and Spielberg talked of each directing a movie while the other produced it. But when Tintin didn't really register with audiences here in the U.S, the sequel talked sort of died down.
But Jackson, while out promoting the Hobbit stated that he will shoot the performance capture portion of the Tintin sequel next year. And with his obligation the other two Hobbit movies and with the post production work on the motion capture Tintin being quite extensive, the movie will arrive in 2015.
Like I stated before, I really liked the first movie and if you haven't seen it, you should check it out. The second one, being directed by Jackson, will hopefully be just as entertaining. With all the other big movies slated for 2015, hopefully this one can find a bigger audience. I've never read the comic albums of the many adventures of Tintin and I don't plan to start. But you can give more movies, I am more than cool with that.
