'Best Exotic Marigold Hotel': Time to Check Out
Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
A friend recently dined at the home of a much-beloved older couple he hadn't seen in a while. The male half is in his early 90s; the female is in her late 80s. While he was delighted to see them, he, a guy in his 30s, also came away more than a little terrified. "The main theme of their conversation," he told me, "was how awful it was to be old, and how nothing they had been told about it in any way prepared them for how awful it is." Words to give one pause, to be sure.
As there's not much marketability in conveying to the world that old age is carrion, as an old Italian phrase has it, senior fictions of both the literary and cinematic variety concentrate on the idea of old age as a time of new beginnings. And hence, "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," in which a predictably (some would say consolingly) motley group of British pensioners, or whatever they are, wind up savoring the pleasures and dealing with the challenges of a senior residence in farthest Jaipur.
Search: More on Judi Dench | More on Maggie Smith
"Wha?" you may ask. But, yes, the young feisty dreamer (of course) in charge of the titular joint proposes to "outsource old age" in the same way India has outsourced so much more of the West's can't-be-bothered services. Of course the feisty young dreamer is taking over the beloved but now rundown hotel from his late feisty dreamer dad, and his stolid mom disapproves, not just of this whole scheme but also of his girlfriend.
If that has a whiff of the familiar, check out the British characters: Judi Dench's helpless widow, whom we first meet as she struggles to understand how to work a computer (old person at a computer -- it's funny! Until it's not, 'cause she's a widow, aw ...); Tom Wilkinson's reserved retiree who's returning to India to come to terms with a love, and a self, he left behind a lifetime ago; Ronald Pickup's randy would-be ladies' man; Celia Imrie's serial divorcee on the semi-prowl; Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton's bickering couple now having to confront just why they've been together all these years; and Maggie Smith's bigoted, physically incapacitated domestic-put-out-to-pasture. If I were to ask you to guess, for example, which British character would wind up empathizing most with the Indian dreamer in charge of the hotel to the extent of materially assisting him in no small way, I bet you could nail it in one try, two tops.
It's that kind of movie. When not pivoting on an almost imperially predetermined plot point, it's doling out dollops of the most conventional wisdom imaginable along carpe diem and live-and-let-live lines, with of course carpe diem getting a lot of emphasis, as many of these folks don't have many diems left to carpe, if you know what I'm saying, and I think you do.
It's pretty common for such utterly pat material (the script is by Ol Parker from a novel by Deborah Moggach, and the competent, characterless direction is by John Madden of "Shakespeare in Love" fame) to be redeemed or at least made tolerable by a cast of first-rate performers. But as well as Dench, Wilkinson, Night and Smith acquit themselves (everyone does his or her level best, but these performers were my favorites), their efforts didn't bring the movie to life (and I'm not certain they could). They merely made the time pass more pleasantly than it might have, all the while reminding us, although not in a way that the movie might have intended, that time is a very precious commodity indeed.

Corruption keeps society in the dark
A corrupt society doesn't want the best people employed by it. This is because thorough people will solve problems and that means digging deep in the dirt, to get to the root of why something isn't working, hence the hatred of whistle-blowers and protesters. Lazy and cowardly employees (the ignorant) are already corrupt and therefore will only touch the surface of difficulties i.e. treat them cosmetically.
Force is trying to take a short cut, passed the route of understanding. It is kicking open a door, rather than than trying the handle because you don't think you've got the time to figure things out. Criminals use force – the law abiding use patience. Speed is therefore an addiction and tolerance cold turkey.

Feb 28 2012: Robert Kennedy said 'Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle.' This is because it is harder to stand alone against the crowd as a whistle blower than go with the flow of consensus reality (prejudice is a fashion statement).
To charge at a pill box with a grenade and a machine gun or conversely to fight in the trenches, despite the inhuman conditions is always easier because your can blend into the background, rather than stand out as a volunteer ('We were only following orders' versus 'I'm not putting up with this any longer!'). The corrupt never stand out or want to stand out (be noticed / 'I am Spartacus!').

One man hopes to annex three acres of land into the Sioux City city limits, so he can build property.
John Dolphin owns land in the Sunnybrook neighborhood, which sits outside city limits, right now. The land on the 7000 block of Christy Road is considered a part of Woodbury County, but Dolphin has seeded and graded the land, and added utilities, to the lots.
He hopes the city council will approve his petition to the city to annex the land. If council approves the annexation on Monday night, Dolphin would gain access to city utilities, and then be able to continue building the property.
City leaders say there's a good chance Dolphin will get approval for the project.

"You need not worry about your design with WPD. You are well in their hands. They took my design and along with the pearlescent shimmer paper turned it into the perfect invite for my shower. Thank you so much WPD!"
"We just got these cards in the mail and they are beautiful and definitely exceeded expectations. First off, they're on a nice, thick cardstock. The photo is top quality and the design is extremely professional and chic. At the same time, these invitations are fun and irreverent--perfect for our backyard bbq engagement party! They also came a week before they were expected. Fantastic job WPD!"
"This invitation will be a keepsake for those who love this couple. The picture looks great and the card stock is heirloom quality. The customizing tools are easy to use and allowed me to crop and zoom the picture until it was framed perfectly. The chevron and colors on the back of the invitation are up-to-the-minute. I am normally a traditionalist but this card won my heart and thrilled the bride-to-be. I am so happy I stumbled upon the Wedding Paper Diva website and will definitely order with them again."
"Such a beautiful end product. I have had so sooo many lovely comments about the invite already and they were only delivered yesterday!!!

The invites are on thick high quality paper, with funky backing print. I added 'dress code' to the text. The customer service people were very helpful in enlarging the text box so it fitted.

The search for Oklahoma City mom Ebony Jackson Shelton that started when her 3-month-old son was found abandoned in the hallway of a strange apartment complex has ended, but it's not good news. The body of the missing mom has been found in St. Louis, Missouri, of all places ... in the trunk of her own car. And now for the kicker: the car had sat for days, abandoned, and no one thought to look inside.
If that's not a "see something, say something," failure right there ...
Ebony Jackson Shelton's heartbreaking story started making big news a week ago when her little boy was found in his carseat in the hallway of a random apartment complex in St. Louis. We heard about this young mom who survived childhood cancer and several surgeries, who was devoted to her baby boy. Family said she'd left her home in Oklahoma City to visit relatives where she planned to show little Donovan Prom off, but she never made it. But this girl had been a fighter her whole life. We kept hoping she'd make it through this too.
Now the only good news we have is that she didn't just suddenly abandon her child for no reason. That's not enough, folks.
The police in St. Louis are making public apologies to the family for not updating them on the progress of the investigation, and they have a witness who admits that Jackson Shelton's car -- the Mitsubishi Galant where they found her body -- had been parked on a street of abandoned houses for days on end, but no one said a word. Even though it had out-of-state plates. Even though the search for this woman had been made public. Even though it was in a strange place.
Why not? Are people scared? Do they just not care?
Police say Ebony died of a single gunshot wound, but they won't say when, at least not yet, and there's no one in custody.
Still, you can't help but wonder, if someone had said something about that odd car in an odd place sooner, would this woman still be alive? Would this little boy still have his Mom? Could this tragedy have been prevented?
When tragedy happens in America, we do such a good job of coming together. Look at the way we came out for the people of Newtown. Why can't we do for each other every day the way we do in hard times?
If only America had community spirit all of the time, maybe our communities would be safer.
In the meantime, a little boy will have to grow up without his mom, and after yet another tragedy, people are forced to come together. They're raising money to create a reward fund for information leading to Ebony's killer. It's something ... but it would have been better if this all could have been avoided.
Do you say something when you see something? Why not?
Image via police handout
if this young woman died from a single gunshot wound, i doubt someone reporting the car sooner could have saved her. add to that - what kind of neighborhood was the car left in? was her destination St Louis? if so, did the PD specifically know about her being missing and her car? so many questions.
as for the neighbors calling about a suspicious car - well, i lived in a neighborhood once where that exact scenario happened. an out of state plated car was parked outside of my house for days on end. on the third day, i called the city. they referred me to the pd. i called the pd. they told me it had to be unattended for 72 hours before they would do anything. i told them it had been sitting there 3 days. they said "well, this is your first call. call us back in 72 hours." in a city with crimes like murder, rampant gang problems and far more "important" matters, an abandoned car falls pretty far down the list of "things to handle right away".
the truth is, even if someone called, nobody could have known what was in that trunk. it's a terrible tragedy and my heart goes out to the family.
Living in STL scared the crap out of me. Gunshots were pretty common in my husband's/daughter's school neighborhood
Its the holiday season, I wouldn't think twice if I saw a strange car parked on my street for a few days. I am so sorry that this woman died, and that her sweet son is motherless, but I don't see how society failed her here.

Loved it
It was lovely. The thing that really made this great, isn't that it was like ''the latest model'' you had to have to be cool or accepted, even thought it probably was that you based the whole things on. But bombs. Children and everyone going around carrying bombs.. I just loved it. I think the cartoon tries to tell about how stupid it is that we've even got bombs in this world. And yeah, this is me thinking out loud. Thanks for making me think, Doki!

Kate Moss & John Galliano by Tim Walker, UK VOGUE DECEMBER 2013
One of my favorites to see at the exhibit.
Jean Paul Gaultier F/W 2006
Patricia Field 'disappointed' by John Galliano vilification.
Patricia Field is 'disappointed' by how John Galliano has been treated.
The legendary 'Sex And The City' stylist has stood by the scorned fashion designer since his dismissal from Dior in 2011 after his racist rant in a Paris bar was made public, and can't believe his four-day workshop at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City was cancelled last month.
Patricia told The Telegraph newspaper: "Whatever he did, he didn't kill somebody. He got drunk or high and just popped.
"This is not an evil person, never an evil person always a good person, and I was very disappointed about the stuff at Parsons. They wanna learn fashion, who best to learn it from than John Galliano?"
The fashion mogul also compared Galliano's fall from grace to the media vilifications of Michael Jackson and Britney Spears, saying we live in a hypocritical society.
She added: "We, America, wherever, have done the most horrible things and some guy flips his wig and you know, the world's all over it."
Patricia thinks Galliano would be the ideal candidate to take over from his good friend and loyal supporter Oscar de la Renta - whose clothes she regularly used on 'Sex and the City' - when he eventually retires and hopes he can make a full comeback.

CHICAGO -- Canadian basketball standouts Myck Kabongo, Kyle Wiltjer and Khem Birch have been chosen to play in the 34th annual McDonald's All-American Game.
Kabongo, from Toronto, Wiltjer, from London, Ont., and Montreal's Birch will suit up for the West squad in the March 30 game at Chicago's United Centre. The three represent the most Canadians ever named to the All-American Game.
"I am very proud of their accomplishments. . .," said Canadian junior men's coach Greg Francis. "It's very exciting as a coach to be able to work with these talented players along their path of development. This is only the beginning for these athletes."
The six-foot-two Kabongo is a guard for the Findlay Prep Pilots of Henderson, Nev., which is ranked fifth in the U.S. with a 24-2 record. He's headed to the University of Texas next fall.
Kabongo was a major force for Canada at the 2010 U18 FIBA Americas Championship, scoring 15 points in the bronze-medal match. With the win, Canada earned a berth in the 2011 U19 world championships.
Wiltjer, is a six-foot-nine forward for the Jesuit Crusaders of Portland, who have a 17-2 record and are ranked 18th in the U.S.
Wiltjer will play at the University of Kentucky next fall.
Birch, a six-foot-nine centre for Notre Dame Prep of Fitchburg, Ma., was one of the top rebounders at the 2010 U18 FIBA Americas Championship. He's committed to the University of Pittsburgh next fall.
The McDonald's All-American Game was established in 1978, with the boy's game featuring the likes of future NBA stars Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.

Hello friends,
I am relatively new here and just wondering did talki.com help you? Did you make some good language buddies? I kinda like that concept. =))
By the way, if someone is interested in learing german and wants to teach me some french, just text me... =)
Italki iteslf didnt help me but it was a good place to find some good friends .
Italki help me because I can speak with native english or german speaker. I also learn new words and new cultures :)
Italki took a while before it helped me, but it has. I don't really find the notebook feature or anything very useful (lang-8 is better for that, the community is friendlier), but with some searching I've been able to find kind people who will do language exchanges with me, which is great for learning new things about cultures and different people - and stuff about languages that nobody will ever teach you in school.
It has helped me find a few people to practice Spanish with on Skype. However, it's difficult to sort through people who are serious about languge learning and those who just want to have random friendly conversations.
Yeah Italki helps me :)
Thank's guys for all your answers. Good to hear that it helps you with learning.
...and thank you Joshua for your advice concerning lang-8. I took a look at this website. Seems to be a good altenative to italki.com =)
I have learnt a lot from corrections in the languages I have been learning. Many of these devoted souls are not in my following list technically, though.
I've been learning a lot by taking classes. I wish my progress was faster, but I can only afford about one class a week. I have noticed a difference though since I started.

Forex Supreme Scalper System works on the lower timeframes like the 1 minute and the 5 minute. The developers claim that this scalping system is newbie friendly and new traders can trade with this system easily. This scalper system first detects the trend direction and then trades in the direction of the trend.

HOUSTON (BP) -- The National Fellowship of Hispanic Southern Baptist Churches will lead Hispanic Baptists to mobilize before, during and after the SBC's June 11-12 annual meeting in Houston.
Hispanic churches and volunteers will serve in the Crossover Houston initiative "Por Amor a Houston" (in English, "Loving Houston"). Local Hispanic churches are planning a range of activities as well as mass evangelism events in Hispanic communities. For more information, go to
Por Amor a Houston
According to U.S. Census from 2010, Houston was the largest city in Texas. The Hispanic population in Harris County, where Houston is located, had grown to 1.7 million (44 percent of total population) by 2010. While the majority are Mexican, all Latin American countries and Spain are represented among Houston's residents.
Many Hispanics in Houston are Americans, hailing from families who have been there for generations. Other Hispanics there have recently arrived and are undocumented. Hispanic Baptist leaders see all of them as part of the harvest God is presenting to Southern Baptists this summer.
Hispanic leaders and volunteers will gather June 9 for the Celebracion de Avance Hispano (Hispanic Advance Celebration). The SBC's LifeWay Christian Resources, Internatonal Mission Board, North American Mission Board and GuideStone Financial Resources are among the event's sponsors and will provide workshops, dinner and a worship celebration. The celebration will be from 5-9:30 p.m. on Sunday (June 9) in Rooms 351, 360, 371 and Grand Ballroom C on Level 3 of the George R. Brown Convention Center. www.sbcannualmeeting.net for more information.
The fellowship will have a business meeting from noon to 2 p.m. on Monday, June 10, at Primera Iglesia Bautista de Houston at 13380 Korenek St. in Houston, followed by a time of fellowship and exhibitions from diverse ministries from 5-6 p.m. and dinner and worship celebration from 6:309 p.m.
The Hispanic fellowship will hold its Sixth National Congress on Aug. 2-3 in Nashville, Tenn., under a main theme of "Modeling Values in the Family." Samuel Otero, family counselor and evangelist from Texas, will be the featured speaker.
Among the topics for the many workshops during the congress are church recreation for the family, domestic violence, treating addictions, singles ministry, purity in marriage, daily temptations and pastoral family.
The congress will meet at Haywood Baptist Church, 225 Haywood Lane in Nashville. For more information, go to
www.confraternidad.org[URL] or go to the page on Facebook of the Confraternidad Nacional de Iglesias Hispanas Bautistas del Sur.

The first week of school means more pedestrian foot traffic which is why school faculty wants to focus on safety.
In 2009, Texas Legislature passed House Bill 55 which would prohibit the use of a wireless communication device while operating a motor vehicle.
This law does not apply to those with hands free devices or if the vehicle is parked.
The City then posted signs in school zones in 2010 to enforce the law.
KCBD NewsChannel 11 scoped various school zones to see if parents adhered to those guidelines. The entire time our cameras filmed cars in school zones, we did not see anyone using a cell phone illegally.
As students cross the street in a hurry before and after, school the legislature wanted to ensure safety. LISD officers are working to enforce that law.
"Obviously they could run into the street chase a ball, you know, they could you know they can be unpredictable sometimes," said LIDS Police Chief Jody Scifres. "I mean, most children were taught well and know better and know what to do, but there are times when they run out into the road." Since parents can also be in a rush after they drop off their children or teens, this law requires them to slow down and pay a little more attention.
Scifres encourages everyone to leave early to keep school zones safe.
"5 minutes makes a big difference if you get there a little bit early, you can alleviate some of the congestion around schools."
The law applies to all students under the age of 18, even outside of school zones, as Texas state law states that those under the age of 18 are prohibited to use their cell phones while operating a vehicle.
Tickets can cost up to $200.
An open records request has been sent to LISD for the number of tickets and citations issued since this law has been enforced.

You can cash in by getting bumped from a flight. Consumer reporter Steve Noviello says the secret is to get bumped on purpose.
With fewer flights and packed planes, overselling is not uncommon. Make yourself a good bump candidate to take advantage of that.
Start by planning ahead. Pack your stuff in a carry on and research alternate flights. Then mention to the gate agent that your travel plans are flexible.
What can you expect to gain?
It's all based on convenience. Compensation is usually about $200, but can run up to $400 for domestic flights and $800 for international travel.
You can also request money for a hotel or a meal and a first class seat for bonus airline points or miles. You can even ask for compensation in cash.

NEW YORK, February 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Today, National Traders Association announced new research reports highlighting Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: EEFT), Audience Inc. (NASDAQ:ADNC), ON Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:ONNN), Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:BUD) and Diageo plc. (NYSE:DEO). Today's readers may access these reports free of charge - including full price targets, industry analysis and analyst ratings - via the links below.
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. Research Report
Euronet also focuses on expanding its global network. The company has recently announced the acquisition of Pure Commerce, an Australia-based company offering cloud-based financial and payment solutions. The acquisition would allow Euronet to expand its services and operating markets. The company expects the acquisition to contribute approximately three to four cents to its annual cash EPS in 2013. On February 15, 2013 it will release its Q4 2012 earnings results. With migration from developing to developed countries increasing, remittances are becoming more relevant for all major developing economies in the world. Leading money transfer companies like Western Union and Euronet compete on the basis of technology, price, and quality of service offered to remitters. The Full Research Report on Euronet Worldwide, Inc. - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available to download free of charge at: [http://www.nationaltradersassociation.org/r/entire_report/5cc2_EEFT]
Audience Inc. Research Report
Audio chip maker Audience, in particular, diversified its customer base away from Apple's iPhone by developing chips for Samsung smartphones and Google's Nexus 10 tablet. The move sent the company's shares up by more than 25 percent as the company forecasts Q1 results at much higher numbers compared to the expectation of analysts. Audience expects revenue will come in at $43 million to $46 million and profit at $1.9 million to $2.9 million. This comes after rumors of fraud by way of fake Twitter posts brought the shares down by over 25 percent a few days ago. The Twitter account of a certain Conrad Block, which had thought to be from short-selling firm Muddy Waters, tweeted that Audience is being investigated by the DOJ on rumored fraud charges. The firm then denied this in its actual Twitter page. Audience's deal with Samsung will set the tone for its future as sales of Apple devices slowly decline, with the Korean smartphone manufacturer accounting for more than half of Audience's revenue. The company's chips are used in Samsung's flagship Galaxy S3, and the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. The Full Research Report on Audience Inc. - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available to download free of charge at: [http://www.nationaltradersassociation.org/r/entire_report/3eb0_ADNC]
ON Semiconductor Corp. Research Report
Energy efficient device chipmaker ON Semiconductor released two new image signal processor chips for both automotive and consumer applications, used for electronics that use small LCD screens. Their chips can enhance the miniscule screens' display resolution to create sharper and clearer images.
Carmakers like GM and Toyota have expressed interest, and the company believes the two will ensure increased adoption. ON Semiconductor expects that shipments of automotive displays may reach 116.8 million units by 2016, growing at a double-digit rate in each year.Zacks puts the company on a "neutral" stance, citing poor European numbers and sluggish demand in China as factors. However, diversifications across different markets, restructuring efforts, and acquisitions have countered the negatives. The Full Research Report on ON Semiconductor Corp. - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available to download free of charge at: [http://www.nationaltradersassociation.org/r/entire_report/9395_ONNN]
Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV Research Report
InBev, the brewer of Budweiser, is set to go back to its attempt to take full control of Grupo Modelo SAB de CV or the brewer of Corona beer. The previous $20 billion deal was barred by the DOJ due to antitrust concerns, asking the company to either give up more control of its US beer distribution or sell a brewery. A Reuters report suggests that the new proposal would be letting other companies brew Corona in the US, while still keeping its prospects in Mexico. The acquisition would ensure InBev a larger share of a market full of potential while cutting costs. InBev already holds half of Modelo after it acquired Anheuser-Busch in 2008. In other news, the company will officially unveil the Budweiser Black Crown during this year's Super Bowl, after releasing the Bud Light Platinum the same time last year. The brew has added alcohol content and a slightly higher price tag, which would appeal to more beer drinkers, specifically the younger age bracket of 21 to 34-year-olds. The Full Research Report on Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available to download free of charge at: [http://www.nationaltradersassociation.org/r/full_research_report/4c1f_BUD]
Diageo plc. Research Report
Wine and spirit giant Diageo has partnered with India's largest spirits company United Spirits Limited to buyout United National Breweries' traditional sorghum beer business in South Africa, with a 50-50 split between the two companies. Diageo, who owns popular brands such as Smirnoff, Black Label, and Guinness, has been gradually shifting its focus towards developing markets as economic uncertainty persists in Europe. The company has seen rises in sales in Latin America and Asia, while its stronghold in Africa has strengthened with new staff in South Africa and Nigeria. Motley Fool placed a "buy" rating especially for those seeking "safety" against current "macroeconomic uncertainty," describing Diageo stock as a "quality defensive stock." Analysts expect growth in earnings per share, dividend payouts, and total revenues.

HAL Dhruv Helo Ready For Mineral Exploration
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (Booth H72) and Geological Survey of India are to deploy a Dhruv light twin helicopter equipped with geophysical equipment for mineral exploration. The dedicated aircraft was formally unveiled and named Garuda Vasudha by the country's minister of mines, Dinsha Patel, in New Delhi last month. The Indian government is hoping to cut its oil import bill by finding such resources in its soil.
The Dhruv is fitted with four aerogeophysical sensors–time domain electromagnetic, spectrometric, magnetic, and gravimetric for an equipment cost of $10 million. It will help understand the sub-surface geology and regional tectonic set-up. "With the best and modern equipment fitted, this helicopter will help in exploration and mapping of mineral wealth in India," Patel stated.
Capabilities include detection of oil, gas and minerals–gold, copper, thorium and other rare earth minerals–in addition to environmental and nuclear surveillance.

If you're like most people, you get the occasional headache brought on by stress, eye strain — even caffeine withdrawal.
But some people have extremely painful or frequent headaches, such as migraines, that interfere with daily life. These headaches can be worrisome because sometimes headaches are a symptom of more serious medical problems, including stroke, brain tumors or an infectious disease, such as meningitis.
"The location and quality of pain can be clues to the type of headache you are experiencing and can help to indicate whether you should seek medical attention," says Madhu Soni, MD, a neurologist at Rush University Medical Center.
According to Soni, see your doctor if you experience changes in your headaches, such as the location or type of pain, changes in accompanying symptoms, or any of the following:
Go to the emergency room immediately if you experience any of the following:
Fortunately, less than one percent of all headaches indicate a life-threatening problem. But if you find yourself taking pain medication more than twice a week or canceling plans because of headaches, don't ignore them. Your doctor can help you get relief and, just as important, give you peace of mind.
Learn about the different types of headaches and how to identify headache "triggers," read at "Headache Pain and the Trigger Effect."
Learn about a migraine headache investigational study currently enrolling candidates at Rush University Medical Center at PFO/Migraine Connection. This study is exploring the relationship between PFO (patent foramen ovale) and migraine headaches.
To make an appointment with a physician at Rush, call (888) 352-RUSH (7874).

The Fontainebleau Miami Beach
The perfect combo of pampering and partying—you can stay out until 5am dancing at Liv and meeting plenty of suave, Miami bachelors, then hit the super-luxe Lapis Spa the next morning for a total hangover-helper of a treatment. The Bleau Detox ($220 for 80 minutes) includes an eighty-minute hydrobath, seaweed wrap, and then a rigorous massage, so you're good as new, and ready to do it all over again (book with Melva—her hands are magic). Bonus: it's a short cab ride (on the same street) from The Webster, a shop that everyone at Lucky is totally obsessed with, and where you can pick up a new Eres bikini to look totally chic on the beach.

Obit of the Day: Creator of Lorenzo's Oil
In 1984, six-year-old Lorenzo Odone was diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) an incurable disease that caused a build up of fatty acids on nerve cells stripping them of myelin. The made it impossible for the cells to deliver messages to the brain. As the disease progresses it eventually causes the victim - most often males - to fall into a vegetative state.
When Augusto and Michaela were given the diagnosis they were told that that ALD would kill their son quickly. The Odones refused to accept the early death sentence for Lorenzo and committed themselves to finding a cure.
Mr. Odone, who worked for the World Bank and had no scientific background, taught himself medicine and biochemistry. He was able to determine that certain oils contained levels of oleic acid that reduced chains of fatty acids, most notably olive oil. With that knowledge, and additional research, Mr. Odone developed "Lorenzo's Oil" a mixture of olive and rapeseed oils that could not cure ALD but slowed its effects.
The oil mixture reduced the severity of Lorenzo's symptoms and when a researcher did a ten-year study on the effects of Lorenzo's Oil it prevented the appearance of symptoms in young boys.
In 1992, the Odones' story was fictionalized in the film Lorenzo's Oil starring Nick Nolte as Mr. Odone and Susan Sarandon as Mrs. Odone.
Lorenzo Odone lived until the age of 30, dying in 2008 from ALD. Michaela Odone died from cancer in 2000.
Augusto Odone, who published a memoir in 2013 titled Lorenzo and His Parents, died on October 24, 2013 at the age of 80.

Chinese Poached Chicken Breasts with Star Anise
Chicken breasts poached in a broth flavored with star anise, cinnamon, ginger, scallions, and soy sauce is a Chinese classic. Traditionally you would save, not serve, the broth--it improves each time you use it--but we can never resist serving it with the chicken as a light sauce. If you like, boil noodles separately and add them to the broth for a meal in a dish.
Yield: 4
- 3 1/2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 2 carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices
- 6 scallions including green tops, 5 cut into 4-inch lengths, 1 chopped
- 6 1/2- inch slices peeled fresh ginger, smashed, plus 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, preferably dark
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 5 whole star anise
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 6 black peppercorns
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/3 pounds in all)
- 1. In a large saucepan, combine the broth, carrots, the 5 scallions, the smashed ginger, the garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- 2. Add the sherry and chicken and bring back to a simmer over moderately low heat, covered. Turn the chicken and simmer, covered, until the chicken is just done, about 5 minutes.
- 3. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken, carrots, and star anise to large shallow bowls. Strain the broth and add the minced ginger and 2 tablespoons of the chopped scallion. Ladle the broth over the chicken and top with the remaining chopped scallion.
- Wine Recommendation: The exotic yet delicate broth requires a flavorful but light white wine. A German riesling would be ideal; if the riesling you choose has some slight sweetness, all the better.

I'm breastfeeding my 5 month old almost exclusively. She just started on cereal which I mix with breast milk that I pump (she still only takes maybe 2 tablespoons a day of mixed cereal). I've been adding the calories for breastfeeding, but I am finding it very easy to stay within the limit. I'm not really eating much differently than I usually do? Should I skip adding calories for breastfeeding and stick to the 1200?

You could stick to 1200 and not log your breastfeeding, just consider it a bonus? But 1200 is low for a nursing mother. Just listen to your body and don't allow yourself to go hungry. I'm nursing a 2 year old and I'm hungry all the time even at 2000 calories a day.

No! The sad truth is that in the absence of enough to go round for mum and baby, baby gets the bulk of the nutrition. You need to make sure you are eating enough otherwise you run the risk of malnutrition on your part which in turn could affect your BM. BFing mums are not advised to lose any more than 1lb a week from dieting.

Thanks. Maybe I was snacking when I was bored more than I had realized.... I think I'll stick to the breastfeeding amount for another week or so and if I'm not losing then I'll cut a few more calories. I'm kind of scared I could start to lose my milk supply if I cut too many calories too fast.

You should be adding 300-500 cals for the breastfeeding. You are nourishing your little one with wonderful milk and you want to make sure you and baby are getting proper nutrition. To be honest I did not lose weight while breastfeeding:( Maybe eat at 1500-1600 and see how you feel, keep an eye on your supply to make sure you are still making enough milk for baby :)

I also Breastfeed exclusively. I've been eating 500 calories because that's what I've been taught to do honestly. But after two weeks if I dont see a lb of movement on that scale then I'm gonna cut down to 400. I know they sAy you burn between 300 and 500 calories but I'm not sure what my body does. And I eat my calories I burn exercising so to me it also seems like I'm eating a lot. But I'm just going to toy with it and adjust the numbers accordingly. I just want to know I'm eating as much as I possibly can while still losing weight.

Hi s_premkumar999,
I checked the ATR and at least it's valid from an ATR standpoint, but as you've said you are talking to a SIM Card, the communication flow might be different than the one defined in the test you've used. I assume you used the "apdu_t0_communication" example, which just checks a apdu / T0 communication. Based on the ATR you've provided and the result code found in the screenshot, the basic communication worked, but the smart card was not able to "SELECT" the file requested.
This is perfectly normal in your case and now the "fun" part starts
I'm using the smart card lib currently for accessing normal memory cards and no SIM cards, so I can't help you with the communication sequence needed to access the Phone Book etc. of a sim card, but I think the "GSM 11.11" standard might be a good starting point to understand the communication between the mobile phone and the sim card, so that you can read the needed data.
The wikipedia article about the "Subscriber identity module" might also give a lot of hints to further information (The "Design" and "Data" sections of the english version mentions ETSI TS 102 223, ETSI TS 102 241, ETSI TS 102 588 and ETSI TS 131 111 and the above mentioned GSM 11.11)
Just let me know if you have any success, otherwise I have to check one of my old mobiles for a SIM card to check with
Hope this helps

Nicolas Berggruen, Chairman, Berggruen Holdings
(Download Audio)
Interviewed by Anne Dias Griffin, Founder and Managing Partner, Aragon Global Management, and Copresident, Kenneth and Anne Griffin Foundation
The United States and China's governance problems are in many ways mirror images of each other, according to Nicolas Berggruen. While the US confronts an ongoing fiscal crisis with political gridlock, China's one-party system, flush with foreign reserves, is confronting growing social discontent. The manner in which the two most important economies in the world govern through their respective crises will have a dramatic impact on global economic growth. What constitutes good governance and how does this contribute to economic growth in diverse political systems? What are the implications for global business and what role should the private sector play in promoting good governance?
Nicolas Berggruen is the chairman of Berggruen Holdings, a private company, with operations in the US, Europe, and Asia, as well as real estate and financial investments globally. Through the Nicolas Berggruen Institute, an independent, nonpartisan think tank, he encourages the study and design of systems of good governance. Prior to Berggruen Holdings, he worked in real estate for Bass Brothers Enterprises, as well as for Jacobson and Co., Inc., a leveraged buyout company. In 1988, Berggruen cofounded the Alpha Group, a hedge fund, which was sold to Safra Bank in 2004. He holds a BS from New York University.
Anne Dias Griffin is the founder and managing partner of Aragon Global Management, an investment fund focusing on US and international stocks. She also serves as copresident of the Kenneth and Anne Griffin Foundation. Prior to founding Aragon, she was an analyst at Viking Global Investors. Before joining Viking, Dias Griffin held positions with Soros Fund Management, Fidelity Investments Limited, and Goldman Sachs. She graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Nicolas Berggruen's recent book, Intelligent Governance for the 21st Century: A Middle Way Between West and East, will be available for purchase and signing after the program.

I played LOTRO and the guild halls in that game are decent in that it added some guild storage and plenty of options to decorate but it lacked individuality as every guild hall had the same outline.
I also played Runes of Magic where guilds could build a castle. Everyone could donate resources to help add new buildings to the castle or whatever. Then, once a week was guild battle night and 2 guilds would line up against each other and fight a massive PVP battle. Based on the buildings your guild had constructed in the castle, you had different things you could use in the battle.
The winning guild got some nice rewards and te best part was that everyone in the guild could participate no matter what level they were.
I would love this to be in WoW but with Blizzard's wonderful improvements.

"My friends who received the announcement were VERY impressed by the clarity of the pictures, the colors and the quality of the paper stock used. Best of all, the order came 5 days before the estimated delivery time and that made all the difference in the world for my ability to get them addressed and mailed out! This is the second time I have ordered product from Tiny Prints and both experiences have been seamless and fast without compromising the quality of the card. If you have a special announcement or creative card you want to send, this is the company you want! Worth every penny:)"
"This Grad Card came out exactly the way I envisioned. Once I choose the photos and format, the project went together so easily and quickly. I received a very professional and personal phone call after requesting some help. I left some font decisions up to the discretion of the designer and could not be happier."
"I spent hours trying to get the right graduation announcement, looking at various companies and products. This one was EXACTLY what I wanted, and actually ended up being better quality than I expected. I am very, very pleased."
"Loved this design. I put my son's senior photo along with a kindergarten photo on the front. It was fantastic to have his graduation info, as well as his future plans right on the front without it feeling crowded. I selected the plain red background with 2 more photos and personalized captions, including a thank you to family and friends. Everyone raved about it! Quality was even better than expected!"
"The quality was more then I expected. The customer service was so helpful at making sure my pictures I down loaded were the best quality. When my family received the cards they were so impressed at how beautiful they came out. I will use them again for my next party planning invitation needs."

A council 'placemaker' aims to foster social cohesion, writes Carolyn Rance.
Planner Samantha Choudhury hopes some speedy, low-cost changes to the centre of Broadmeadows will help make it a more attractive place for people to meet, shop and go about their days.
She joined the staff at Hume City Council in 2012 with the formal title of urban development officer but thinks of herself as a placemaker with a passion for boosting social and cultural wellbeing.
"Communities need to be connected and accessible," she says. "The planning profession is good at doing forward thinking and collecting statistics and data, rather than creating a sense of place."
Across the world, architects, planners and urban-design professionals, and the organisations that employ them, are looking for ways to make faster improvements than funding arrangements and high levels of regulation have traditionally allowed.
By appointing place managers, promoting events and creating temporary community meeting places, gardens, art projects, pop-up parks, market and cafes, Choudhury says authorities in the US, Britain and parts of Asia are helping counter the impact of urbanisation and harsh economic times.
"It's important for councils, businesses and communities to work together on what can be done while waiting for infrastructure funding for longer-term projects," she says.
"There's a huge opportunity to put resources into transitionary uses that will help create the conditions for the best long-term use. We should be looking at how projects can build community capacity and create socially inclusive places of exchange."
Born in London, Choudhury came to Australia at age three. After completing a degree in urban planning and development at the University of Melbourne, she did master's-level studies in international aid and development.
She worked for the Committee for Melbourne on its United Nations Global Compact Cities Program before joining placemaking consultancy Village Well, where she spent five years as part of a multidisciplinary team working to foster the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of communities. "I worked on a renewal plan for Newcastle, NSW and the Hub Melbourne project, which aims to drive innovation through collaboration," she says.
A year off to study urban design at Columbia University took her to New York for one semester and Paris for a second.
"I came back and did another year with Village Well before I decided it was time to understand local government better," Choudhury says.
"I wanted to get out of my bubble in the city and really understand the issues of developing areas.
"The amount of development taking place in areas like Sunbury and Wallan is unbelievable."

Blackberry & Peppermint Macaroons: Now this bite has got to be worth the licence fee alone (Mary gets hers free of course). Tents can be unpredictable places and are fraught with hidden dangers for the prospective biter into things. No such peril for Mary though, seen here boldly defying an errant sidewind that slipped into her bite shot through a badly velcroed window panel. Unruffled and graceful as ever, Mary delivers the bite and remains as solidly steadfast as the hair on Paul's Fructis-furrowed scalp. (Sources close to Mary have hinted that this wind may, in fact, be a "fashwun wind" - part of an image revamp prompted by her new status as a patronised fashion icon)

Kelly and I welcomed Scott Snyder to "3 Chicks Review Comics" this weekend for our Best of 2012 show. We talked to Snyder, who I named writer of the year, about the incredible success he had in 2012 with Batman, American Vampire and Swamp Thing and what we can expect to see from him next year.
There were some tidbits on what the next Batman arc will be as well as a some discussion about his unnamed Superman book including his thoughts on Lois Lane.
Snyder talks quite a bit about how he views Superman, but he also spoke about the role Lois plays:
"The thing that fascinates me about Lois to Superman I guess to get at it is in a lot of ways she represents to him what inspires him about humanity in a lot ways. No matter what she'll go for the truth. No matter what she'll do what's right. Even if it means going up against tremendous odds. That isolation and loneliness that that brings to Lois to it means going up against her father it means going up the Planet, going up against people who will kill her. It something that he looks and it makes him think about humanity the way he wants to. He gives us room to do the right thing instead of doing what he thinks is the right thing for the planet. So for me she's very much like a North star for that for him."
He also said that while he is writing a "real-world" Superman story there would still be lots of Superman "punching things" in each issue.
As far as for Batman following a wrap of Death of a Family in #17 (a "30 page monster"), #19 and 20 will be a two parter. Issue #21 will begin what he called "our most ambitious story yet" which will be "Court of Owls sized" which will feature the Riddler. He also noted by ambitious "this isn't something insane like bringing Batman's family back in a spaceship." The issue, he said, will tie to the 0 issue.
You can hear more about with Snyder here.
Lois, just made me cry HE FUCKING GETS HOW IMPORTANT SHE IS TO SUPERMAN!!!...THANK YOU! I...
Wow, I'm really happy Scott said all this. If only Lois was portrayed as good as he intends to and speaks of.
Scott Snyder is one of the few good things left at DC

Glide Magazine gives Shooter Jennings' "The Other Life" 4 out of 5 stars!
"Shooter Jennings
The Other Life
By Ric Hickey
May 31, 2013
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
To varying degrees, aren't we all subject to the inner voice of our ancestors' hopes and dreams? Does not the young gunslinger set out in hopes of meeting or exceeding the example set by his father? And if that parent's legacy is comprised in large part by international fame and glory for their life's work, isn't it likely that the child may face some identity issues of their own as they mature into adulthood?
On his new album, The Other Life, we find Shooter Jennings pondering these and other existential concerns in hillbilly terms. Country songwriters have long sought to re-arrange the same three chords and down-home imagery in a quest to create something compelling if not exactly new. A graphic Southern Gothic soliloquy plays out in Shooter's lyrics as dirt roads, roosters, women, whiskey, and Hank Williams flutter and swirl around in his thoughts like flakes in a snow globe.
No time is wasted getting to the heart of the matter as the record opens with the spacey, almost-Floydian intro of "Flying Saucer Song" that asks, "Do you know who you are?" This is soon revealed to be a self-directed inquiry as Shooter spends the rest of the album simultaneously asserting and questioning his own identity. This ominous Art Rock intro sounds like nothing else on the record but our protagonist moves quickly into the more familiar territory of vintage Southern Rock and hard driving Country music. Though he's the rightful heir to the Outlaw Country genre that was more or less invented by his dad, Shooter Jennings seems dubious about the label. The formula's in his very DNA and at times the stuff seems to flow out of him effortlessly. This is his home turf after all, and he digs his heels in deep to defend it. But his dad taught him well about the double-edged sword of fame: spotlights can blind and illuminate, often simultaneously. With one eye on the road and the other keeping close watch over his own wild instincts, Shooter gives voice to his convictions and contradictions over a righteous and rugged Country Rock groove.
Shooter's forte is hard driving country songs that speak brutal truths yet remain accessible and convey a gritty everyman sensibility. It's a delicate balance and a tightrope dichotomy but he nails it with "The Low Road". In a slice of dad's advice set to a rockin' Honky Tonk bar brawl rumble, Shooter extols the virtues of fighting back when bullies force you up against the wall. "A Hard Lesson To Learn" and "The Outsider" are further examples of lean and muscular Country Rock, and there's some gratifying detours through Bluesy ballads like the title track as well. There's no growth without struggle and Shooter seems determined to fight and scrap for every last morsel of insight and understanding of his place on the planet. Instead of lazily riding his famous father's coattails, he leans hard into the headwinds, determined to confront every challenge face first and blaze his own trail. Apparently a diet of brutally honest introspection and fierce adherence to sincerity and tradition is fat free, because there simply is no flab on this record. It's all blood, guts, muscle, furrowed brows and angry beards. Another high water mark is the slow-burning Country ballad "Wild And Lonesome". It's very title sums up Shooter's dueling impulses.
With no use for the unexamined life, Shooter knows that some of the things he learns along the way will be hard to swallow. One can easily see a future for him similar to the path taken by his spiritual uncle Willie Nelson, another righteous rebel. It's a bumpy trail, but the hillbilly mystic pieces together the puzzle of his elusive enlightenment from a roadside strewn with empty bottles, dirty jokes, bitter pills, and broken hearts.
Shooter fearlessly confronts the duality of man's nature. Can Saturday night and Sunday morning learn to live side by side? Directly quoting one of his father's songs, he asks, "Don't y'all think this 'outlaw' bit done got outta hand?" As a lens through which to view and contemplate the finer points of man's perplexing nature, The Other Life is not just Shooter's birthright but a surprisingly fertile platform for hard-won philosophical insights.
Papa would be proud.
Glide Magazine gives Shooter Jennings' "The Other Life" 4 out of 5 stars!
