Ex-NY Housewife Alex McCord Trying To Get A New Reality Series But Calls Real Housewives A Trainwreck Faux Reality Show!!
Welp! Ya can't say she isn't determined!!
After the embarrassing firing from Real Housewives of New York, Alex McCord and hubby Simon van Kempen were said to have begged Andy Cohen for their spots back on the "trainwreck" show.
Obviously that was a big, fat FAIL! But they're not stoppin' there!!
Oh no, now they're apparently emailing friends with a new idea to get their own reality series on the air.
Calling Real Housewives a faux of a show, the email reads:
While we were sad to lose the dollars, we weren't sad to be off that particular show. Now that we are free-and-clear of our Bravo contracts, we have been meeting with just about every cable network as well as a couple of the main networks. We would never expose ourselves to another faux reality show.
But when asked if they'd let Bravo accept their pitch for Based in Brooklyn, Alex said:
I don't know. I hadn't. That doesn't mean I wouldn't, it's not just me either if we did this it would be Simon and me together.
LOL!! Well with strong words like the ones in the supposed email, we HIGHly doubt Bravo would wanna touch that!!

Get Prospects to Play the Cards You Deal
When it comes to kitchen remodeling, consumers have been socialized into thinking they must get at least three estimates from reputable companies before making a buying decision. But what if those three estimates came from one reputable company? And what if they were delivered in such a compelling, meaningful way that the prospect felt comfortable giving you a sizable retainer before you even measured their kitchen?
Not only is this scenario possible, it's central to a proven, industry-specific selling system that's been in existence for 20+ years. The system has worked in communities coast to coast, in both affluent and blue collar markets, whether they have been urban, suburban or rural. And, the results have been transformational for the owners and sales designers who have mastered the principles, mechanics, presentation and nuances of its implementation.
Imagine doubling your sales volume in one-half the time it takes the average sales designer to typically earn a commitment following a traditional sales approach! Better yet, imagine winning these sales at gross profit margins that are up to 50% higher than what you normally achieve! These outcomes are all possible for those who dare to be different, dare to be more transparent, dare to be more credible.
All About Choice
For the most part, your target kitchen remodeling customer is likely educated. Educated people do not like to be sold anything. They prefer to be informed on the range of possibilities so they can make the right choice for their family.
However, the range of product choices can be mind-boggling for the consumer – and unlimited options tend to paralyze consumers. Human nature is such that, as long as there is an illusion of choice, consumers rarely focus on the missing options. Rather, a limited range of choices comforts people.
Your target kitchen remodeling customer is no doubt also very busy. He or she will spend time on the Internet gathering information and narrowing the choices. If you were in the market for a new kitchen, you, too, would probably want estimates from three reliable companies to be assured of making a good choice. However, if you became engaged with a credible professional, employing the aforementioned selling system that generates three different estimates, you might very well feel compelled to commit to him or her…on the spot.
Wondrous Sales Results
There are numerous keys to doubling your sales volume in one-half the time at 50% higher gross profit margins. The following are the most pivotal elements in the success of this system:

As Player
As Manager
Francis Michael Skaff (September 30, 1910 – April 12, 1988) was an infielder, coach, manager and scout in American Major League Baseball. Skaff's was acting manager of the Detroit Tigers in 1966.
A native of La Crosse, Wisconsin, who batted and threw right-handed, Skaff was a 1935 graduate of Villanova University, where he received a degree in economics. He spent the most productive years of his playing career with the International League Baltimore Orioles during World War II. He appeared in six games for the 1935 Brooklyn Dodgers and in 32 contests for the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics, hitting .320 in 75 at bats. He managed in the A's farm system and was a coach for the 1954 Orioles during their first AL season as the reborn St. Louis Browns, before joining the Tiger organization as a minor league skipper.
Skaff began 1966 as a Detroit coach. After 26 games, skipper Chuck Dressen suffered his second heart attack in two seasons. As in 1965, third base coach Bob Swift took over the Tigers on an interim basis as Dressen recovered. But Swift was not a well man, either. After 57 games, he was hospitalized for what appeared to be a stomach ailment; however, his malady proved to be lung cancer and he was forced to give up the reins.
Skaff, who had begun the season as Detroit's bench coach, then moved to third base under Swift, became the team's second acting manager of the season on July 14 and finished the campaign. Unfortunately, both of Skaff's predecessors died later in the year. Dressen appeared to be making a recovery in early August when he was stricken by a kidney infection; he died August 10. Swift succumbed to cancer on October 17, 1966.
Meanwhile, the Tigers won only 40 of the 79 games Skaff managed, and finished third in the American League, nine games in arrears of the eventual world champion Baltimore Orioles.
In October, Mayo Smith was named manager for 1967, and Skaff moved into a scouting role.[1] He never managed again in the majors (his 40-39 career record produced a winning percentage of .506), but he returned to Detroit as a coach under Billy Martin in 1971.[2]
He died in Towson, Maryland in 1988 at the age of 77 while on a scouting trip for the Tigers.[3]

A 30-year-old Napa woman was arrested just after 1 p.m. Wednesday on suspicion of child endangerment and other charges after a traffic stop at First and McKinstry streets, police said.
Napa Police said the incident occurred when they stopped Esmeralda Fernandez for several vehicle code violations.
She initially provided a false name and date of birth as her California driver's license was suspended and she had an outstanding bench warrant for her arrest, police said.
During the contact, officers noticed she displayed symptoms of being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Fernandez was evaluated and determined to have been driving under the influence of a central nervous stimulant. Fernandez's 3-year- old nephew was in the vehicle and unsecured at the time of the stop.
Fernandez was arrested, transported to Napa County Detention Center and booked on suspicion of child endangerment, unauthorized use of personal identification, driving while under the influence, under the influence of a controlled substance, driving on a suspended license and a bench warrant.

Research Interest(s)
Pathophysiology of Status Epilepticus; Plasticity of GABAergic Synaptic Transmission
Research Description
There are two major areas of study in the laboratory. Both are related to synaptic plasticity in epilepsy.
First, we seek to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying status epilepticus, which is a prolonged life threatening seizure. Early stages of status epilepticus are treated with benzodiazepines, which enhance GABAA receptor function. Our past studies established that loss of GABA-mediated inhibition in the hippocampus and altered function of GABAA receptors in hippocampal neurons play a key role initiating status epilepticus. Current studies focus on mechanisms underlying the plasticity of GABAA receptors during status epilepticus. Other studies in the lab focus on the role of excitatory neurotransmission in the pathogenesis of status epilepticus. Ongoing studies investigate mechanisms of benzodiazepine refractory status epilepticus; areas of interest are plasticity of AMPA receptors, cell signaling pathways and neuronal circuits sustaining refractory status epilepticus. The Second area of research is to understand hormonal regulation of seizures. Cyclical changes in hormones progesterone and estrogen cause periodic exacerbation of seizures in women, commonly referred to as catamenial epilepsy. Our group investigates the impact of progesterone on seizure susceptibility. Initial work focused on GABA-A receptor plasticity in epileptic animals. Recent development of a model of catamenial epilepsy in our lab gives us an exciting opportunity to study synaptic plasticity during progesterone treatment in female rats and mice. We found that progesterone treatment in epileptic or naïve female rats leads to enhancement of glutamatergic transmission, with associated changes in AMPA receptor expression.

And just catching up on text messages, #bengals bringing back RB Bernard Scott on a one-year deal
— Joe Reedy (@joereedy) April 12, 2013
Scott, 5th year RB, most underused back in NFL his first 2 seasons. Nowcoming off ACL, he'll probably be in battle with high draft pick
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) April 12, 2013
There are two likely reasons as to why the Bengals are bringing back the oft-injured Scott to compete for the backup running back spot next year:
1. They don't believe this year's class of rookie running backs are worthy of a draft pick, and are more confident with Scott than anyone they could draft.
2. They are signing Scott to a deal with no guaranteed money, and will attempt to draft a RB. They will then have Scott compete with the rookie, as well as Cedric Peerman for carries. In the event Scott shows he is durable enough to warrant a spot on the 53-man roster, they keep him and open the season with four backs (Ellis, Scott, Peerman, and a draft pick).
Hopefully it's the latter, and they can cut Scott with no penalty if a rookie comes in and outperforms him.

And I knew I would get downvoted.
The people who think this is the most awesome thing ever either aren't paying attention to the technical details released, or don't know any different.
This is a very, very low-powered device being spruced up in a fancy case with a fancy keyboard. It's like a German sports car manufacturer taking a Volkwsagon, painting it in their colors, saying it's meant for racing, and charging $50,000 for it.
The Intel Atom CPU slows down on heavy Flash apps. How do you think it's going to run any game with any decent performance?
It's a fancy netbook, nothing more. If you buy this thing, IF it were ever actually released, you are going to be severely disappointed.

Mercifully, the Raptors entry into the Summer League is over. As theoretically enjoyable as it should be to experience the new class of NBA players playing basketball in July, the actual quality of the games never ceases to underwhelm. Nonetheless, the Raptors had one of their more intriguing Summer League entries, and it is worth looking back on it now that they have played their final game. First of all, understand that the best way to watch Summer League, at least as it pertains to evaluating players, is to ignore stats and scores. As much as everyone is hardwired to gravitate to those areas, both are exceptionally misleading in Summer League settings. These are games played by teams that are hastily assembled and mixed with both rookies trying to get a feel for pro ball and veterans desperate to land a job in the NBA or elsewhere. That means that the inevitability of individual agendas making scores and stats irrelevant lies somewhat at the heart of the Summer League experience. What one can glean, though, is how a player feels his way through a game. How does a player react on the court to different situations? How well do they move with or without the ball, and how much purpose is there in those movements? How well do point guards control their teams? How well do bigs fight under the basket? These are the sorts of areas that can start to lead one to making useful conclusions about a player in Summer League.
Of course, the cardinal rule remains, and that is Summer League doesn't tell who can play in the NBA, it only tells you who cannot. Even if a player looks completely at home on the court in Summer League, they still have to prove that they can maintain that comfort against NBA-calibre competition before they earn a spot in an NBA rotation. That said, there were some good things to report from the four roster players the Raptors sent to Vegas, and there are some not-so-good things to report. Obviously the interest lies with rookie DeMar DeRozan, and so he makes for as good a starting point as any.
DeRozan looked surprisingly composed on the court in Vegas, and that bodes well for the Raptors. His ball-handling skills were better than advertised, and he got to handle the ball a lot more than he did at USC. The club was looking to see what he would be able to do in different situations offensively, and while he wasn't able to beat his man off of the dribble all that often en route to the basket, he did show a remarkable ability to keep his dribble alive and create when cut-off. He was tremendous at moving without the ball to get himself open for mid-range jumpers, and after some first day jitters, that jumper looked about as smooth as you could ask for. It isn't always a case of whether he hits all the shots or not (though his .493 shooting clip was very impressive) but where and when he chooses to shoot. He rarely forced his offence, even in situations where the team was isolating him and asking him to create, and he was very active rebounding the ball and, of course, he finished with some thunderous dunks before the week was out.
There were pitfalls, too, though. His defence was certainly a work in progress, as was expected after one year of college ball. He looked lost A LOT off of the ball, rarely moving or using his length to disrupt plays, and he was beaten by his man frequently. While this isn't a huge issue for a rookie like DeRozan, who was seen primarily as a scorer/athlete, it probably affects the plans of the Raptors going forward.
Head coach Jay Triano has spoken of wanting to start DeRozan right out of the gate; no doubt having romantic notions of replicating the success he had handing a long leash to Andrea Bargnani last winter. However, DeRozan is simply not up to par defensively to start games against the league's best shooting guards, especially not on a lineup as defensively limited as the Raptors. That probably means that Antoine Wright has the inside track to the starting five, as he's defensively minded and won't take touches away from the big ticket starters, and DeRozan becomes the first guard off of the bench. This arrangement probably works in DeRozan's favour by easing his defensive assignments while increasing his offensive role and may actually be closer to replicating the Bargnani situation that Triano thinks.
The key to Bargnani's emergence last winter had more to do with a defined role and a trust that allowed him to play through his mistakes. Were DeRozan - a scorer first and foremost - to start with Bargnani, Bosh, Turkoglu and Calderon, he'd be a fourth or fifth option and would probably feel lost as to how to help the team early in games. By coming off the bench as a scorer, like J.R. Smith would for Denver, the offence can focus more on getting him shots and letting him play through mistakes that way. If a second-unit lineup looked like Bargnani, Evans, Turkoglu, DeRozan and Jarrett Jack (more on him later), then Hedo would be running to offence and DeRozan and Bargnani would be the big-small combo responsible for the bulk of the scoring. The club would still have proven scorers all around DeRozan to keep him from feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility to score (like Jason Kapono was at times last year), but he would still be given the green light to explore the offence and push himself as an NBA player. Summer League hinted at a player who might be ready to play such a role without handcuffing the rest of the team by getting into trouble with the ball, and it might be the best way to get him comfortable as an NBAer. Plus, if he shines early, there is nothing preventing him from being promoted to the starting five at any point in the season.
As it pertains to bench scoring, another Summer League attraction made the Raptors situation a lot more interesting, and that was Quincy Douby. With Carlos Delfino looking less likely to sign (an injured shoulder and obscene money demands have quieted Colangelo's typically effusive praise), the club could use another scoring option in the reserve crew and Douby is going to be given a shot to prove he's it. When he was on the floor for the Raptors this summer he looked every bit like a veteran who had been around and learned some tricks to help him stick in the league. Douby was the Raptors' most effortless scoring option, and he hit two game-winning shots in Vegas. His confidence with the ball in his hands was obvious, and ran in stark contrast to that of Roko Ukic, who still doesn't seem to have a grasp on how to manage a team on the floor. The Raptors, though, were more interested in Douby as a scoring guard and very few fringe players (i.e. players who aren't guaranteed spots on a roster next season) could better him in that regard.
For Douby, though, it's a process. He knows that Ukic has a guaranteed contract and he doesn't. He also knows that the team is likely bringing in Jack as a free agent, and he'll be getting serious playing time at both guard spots next season. Still, Triano likes him and he'll no doubt be given a shot in training camp and preseason to prove what he could do for this team (after all, the roster is already significantly different than the one that he ended last season with, and there are no doubt changes yet to come). For Douby the job is to make it impossible for the club to keep him out of the rotation, and to do that he'll have to be highly efficient at scoring the ball without disrupting the team offence to do it. If he could develop into a Jannero Pargo-esque weapon off of the bench, the Raptors will be all the stronger for it. If he can't, he'll probably be cut before the season starts. It's a ruthless game, and the onus is on Douby to make himself invaluable to the club. Which brings us back to the aforementioned Ukic. For a stretch last year it looked like Ukic might be benefitting from the unexpected surplus of minutes he was receiving after Jose Calderon went down with injury. By the end of the year, though, he just looked lost. He is a man right now with tremendous skills but an uncertainty as to how to utilize them. In Vegas he was uninspiring. He showed he was able to improve his shooting against weaker defences, but he also showed an inability to balance his offence with the team's. He didn't demonstrate any control over the club when he started games and he often simply blended into the background, which is never good as one of the few players playing with real NBA experience on his résumé. Colangelo has already demonstrated a comfort level with Ukic as a pro prospect by committing (potentially) almost all of his mid-level exception to Indiana's Jarrett Jack, perhaps the league's preeminent backup point guard. If Indiana doesn't match Toronto's offer sheet, and so far they have given no indication that they will, then Calderon and Jack will both be under contract as the team's point guard tandem for the next five years. Where would that leave Ukic? Toronto overpaid a bit in their attempt to land Jack, too, so they are serious about not giving Ukic meaningful minutes next year unless injury absolutely forces them to.
What does that mean for Ukic going forward? Well, it really depends on a lot of factors. With Hedo being able to play point-forward in the event of injury, the team only really needs one healthy point guard and one combo/point guard in reserve of Calderon. If Jack is that point guard, then Ukic, Douby and Marcus Banks are basically eyeing a single spot, and that role barely brings any guaranteed playing time. While the Raptors would happily rid themselves of Banks, his contract might make that too difficult to execute. In that case, does the club look to move Ukic and his guaranteed $2.8-million over the next two years? Colangelo has certainly been up front with his indifference to retaining Ukic, and surely his play in Summer League did little to inspire faith (it was Douby, after all, who had the ball in his hands down the stretch of games). Still, there are some who believe now would be too soon to give up on a prospect with so much raw talent.
Then comes Patrick O'Bryant; the second-coming of Loren Woods...or Jerome Moiso...or Jelani McCoy...or Mamadou N'diaye - he of the seven-foot frame and intoxicating wingspan who actually can't play a lick of NBA basketball. O'Bryant played Vegas like he was Kris Humphries but, sigh, without the talent. He wanted to shoot long jumpers all day long and gave only a passing glance to defence or rebounding. He would run the floor like a bull on offensive leak-outs, but couldn't possibly be bothered to apply the same energy to getting back on defence. He showed no growth in cutting off paths to the basket, instead insisting on trying to block whomever he let into the lane. One could count the number of times be boxed-out on one hand and he showed absolutely no grit despite averaging 6.4 boards. It's a deceiving number culled more from his height than his effort.
Plus, what good are all those jumpers going to do to help the Raptors evaluate him, anyway? Is that really what he thinks the team is looking for from him? He thinks his team, with three guys 6'10" and over who are capable of dropping twenty on any given night, need their third string big man to focus on his mid-range shooting? He thinks this team, so in need of defence and rebounding, is secretly clamouring to know how many points he can put up in a Summer League game? Does he really think that this team, built for ball movement, wants him to channel his inner Humphries and become a new offensive black hole on the elbow?
It's sad to think of the amount of players who would work themselves to the bone if given an NBA contract only to have O'Bryant take their place because of his elongated body. When the Houston Rockets pushed the Lakers to seven games in the Playoffs this year it really seemed like the unofficial death of the unskilled seven-footer as the small forward sized bigs for Houston (Luis Scola, Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry) matched-up fine against LA's colossal front line. Yet, Patrick O'Bryant will make $1.6-million this season and a workhorse like Pops Mensah-Bonsu remains unsigned.
Besides, if Rasho Nesterovic (or some comparable veteran big) is signed soon, does the team really need O'Bryant? The only factor working in his favour is his size, but with Bargnani, Bosh and possibly Nesterovic, does O'Bryant's size really make up for his total lack of a feel for the game of basketball? Sorry folks, just seeing someone so indifferent to working out on the court while surrounded by players killing themselves for a shot with a European or D-League team makes me really uncomfortable.
So, basically this last week has taught us that DeMar DeRozan is, in fact, a player to watch, that Quincy Douby's hope of making the roster is still alive, and that Ukic and O'Bryant have a lot of work left to do to become contributing members of the Raptors' hopeful resurgence. If the Pacers do as expected and allow Monday to pass without extending Jack's contract then there will be more to talk about then, both with regards to Jack and the ability for the team to nail down the last elements of their roster. Until then, have a good weekend.

The editorial board continues to refer to the Illiana as an expressway when it will be a toll road.
Taxpayers will buy the land, private investors will build it, and using incorrect traffic projections to write the P3 agreement that exaggerates usage will result in revenue shortfalls. The revenue shortfalls will result in taxpayers funding the private investors to make up the difference.
They are like ostriches hiding their heads in the sand, avoiding all negative impacts to Indiana and the taxpayers.
Even the members of the Illiana Study Group admit there will be no benefit to Indiana or anything along the corridor. Growth will be the same without it.
It will destroy more than it will benefit.

A group of twenty somethings head out to Halcyon Ridge for a weekend camping trip. All seems normal as the foursome meets up and sets up camp. Upon arriving at the camp site, they are first greeted by the friendly bar proprietor of the small town who talks them into cleaning out his cabin in exchange for a night of free drinks.
Neil Marshall's next film has been greenlit by Rogue Pictures, and it will be called "Sacrilege". The film, set in the Old West during the Gold Rush, is being described as "Unforgiven by way of H.P. Lovecraft, with that grim, gritty setting and a horror element nobody has seen before." I'm sold. Marshall's great with those small horror flicks based around that feeling of isolation, as both "The Descent" and "Dog Soldiers" proved. This Friday will see the release of his next film "Doomsday", so we'll soon find out if he's as good on a large scale as he is on a small one.
target="_blank">Here is the poster for a film called "Zombies Zombies Zombies!", with the tagline "Strippers VS Zombies".... not to be confused with Friday's story about "Zombie Strippers". I see a theme emerging here.
Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead", "Hot Fuzz") is out talking up his next project,
target="_blank">an adaptation of the Marvel comic "Ant-Man". He has this to say about the project: "It's going to be less overtly comedic than anything else I've ever done. It's more of a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element – in the same spirit of a lot of escapist fare like that. It's certainly not a superhero spoof
or pastiche and it certainly isn't a sort of 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids' endeavor at all." I'm not saying they're scraping the bottom of the comic book barrel here, but what's next? Termite man?
Next up on the remake block? 1978's "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". And in news that will make Mark's head explode, it's being written by the two doofs behind AskANinja.com. There are so many things wrong with this story it's hard to know where to start. The original film is one of the best low-budget masterpieces ever made, but I'm sure the remake will replace the wonderfully quaint giant tomatoes with some type of deplorable CGI... and really, who wants to see that? I realize it's funny that I'm getting worked up about this, but come on, it's Killer Tomatoes!
We can all rest easy, because The Vatican
target="_blank">has released a new list of sins for the 21st century to steer clear of. THANK GOD, because when I woke up this morning my first thought was "Gee, I can't think for myself, I really wish someone sets me straight today"." On a related note, I plan on breaking at least 3 of these today. Stay tuned for more.
A Thai man has been arrested after
wbangkok108.xml" target="_blank">killing 8 of his neighbors, reportedly because they wouldn't shut down their karaoke party. The song that set him off? "Country Roads" by John Denver (which for some bizarre reason is apparently a huge hit in Thailand). It's not every day that John Denver sends someone into a homicidal rage, but In all fairness, he did warn them that he would kill them if they didn't stop. There was one survivor, who was sober enough to have the idea of playing dead.
Oh, and finally today, it's official: The Governor of NY is a poon-hound. This is the part where all the self-righteous politicians (most of whom have done the same exact thing, trust me) come out of the wood work and spew some of the worst hypocrisy you've ever heard. Although I will say, he's got a pretty hot wife... it's not like he's married to this... in which case I'd have to say, I understand.
1669: After a series of warning earthquakes near Mount Etna, the largest volcano in Europe spectacularly erupts, destroying the Sicilian town of Nicolosi and killing 20,000 people.
Christopher Nolan is out
TWO-FACE/Page1.html" target="_blank">talking about Harvey Dent, and how exactly he is going to pull off the "Two-Face" effect in "The Dark Knight". It's amazing how these new Batman movies are being executed so well, and there have been so many super-hero flicks screwed up over the years. "Spawn", I'm looking at you buddy. Click the link for effects talk, as well as some new promotion for the film.
Indie director Dante Tomaselli shot us an email over the weekend with some good and bad news. The bad? Well financial troubles have caused him to temporarily shut down production on his film "The Ocean", about what happens in a small seaside town when the water begins to mysteriously take people's lives. Not content to sit idly by, he is
target="_blank">spending his newfound free time developing a film called "Torture Chamber", "a nightmarish shocker in the vein of HOUSE OF WHIPCORD, HALLOWEEN and FRIDAY THE 13TH." He assures us that "The Ocean" is not dead, and will finish shooting as soon as funds are available. We'll keep you updated when we hear more.
Justin Long has signed on to Sam Raimi's "Drag Me to Hell". I'm guessing your reaction to that is either highly negative, or slightly negative. I'm not that bothered, but I just don't see anyone getting excited about this.
Brian O'Halloran, who played Dante in Kevin Smith's "Clerks" will be attending
target="_blank">Horror Hound Weekend March 28th, through 30th, along with the entire BG Horror crew. I know this guest isn't horror related, but my former 1990's self just became giddy with anticipation.
Usually I would make a "Darwin" comment about a drunk guy
5001021,00.html" target="_blank">losing an arm while trying to jump between two cars of a moving train. But there's something about this guy I kind of admire. Imagine believing you can do that. Now that's the type of can-do attitude we need in the White House.
An Italian man is suing his wife $300,000, claiming that her constant nagging has caused him to go impotent, and has ruined his life. I'm not exactly sure how you prove impotence in court, but something about this case made me chuckle this morning. So there you go.
1997: The Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, is stabbed in both eyes during an altercation with another inmate at Broadmoor Hospital. Peter is serving a sentence for killing 13 women.
There are a few reasons to check out poster and trailer for "Zombie Strippers". First off, Robert Englund as a maniacal strip club owner. Second... well, zombie strippers. The trailer is actually pretty sweet, but I have to ask, what the hell has happened to Jenna Jameson? She's looking more and more like an alien every day.
Some completely random dude at
href="http://horror-movies.ca/horror_11065.html" target="_blank">another horror site caught a glimpse of the trailer for "The Lost Boys 2", and he says it sucks. He says, "If you are looking for good production values and great story telling you are likely to be severely disappointed." Yup, that sounds about right.
David Gordon Green
suspiria-remake/" target="_blank">is officially directing the "Suspiria" remake. No, I haven't heard of him either, but apparently he's already written it, and is gearing up for pre-production. My, that happened fast, didn't it?
IMDB has
target="_blank">a bunch of stills from "The Ruins", which sees wide release April 4th. The film centers on a bunch of teens who meet a shady foreigner while on vacation in Mexico, and strange things begin to happen. I remain vague because well, none of the official synopses mention anything about the strange crawly things under people's skin in
target="_blank">the trailer. So, if you haven't seen it, check it out for yourself.
target="blank">Teen kills father for taking away his Myspace. In related news, just one more reason not to have children.
Good news this morning. An expert in the UK claims that before we ever have to deal with climate change,
scienceofclimatechange.food" target="_blank">the world will starve to death. Oh, wait a second, that's actually not good news at all. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
1945: Gen. George Patton urinates in the Rhine after the U.S. Third Army takes the bridge at Remagen... Classy.

April 22, 2004
Thomasville - Students at Balfour School in Thomasville planted, watered, and even sang to trees on campus in celebration of Earth Day.
Teachers hope students will learn the importance of caring about the environment through planting trees and protecting the environment.
Teacher Tracey Murphy says, "Today we're celebrating Earth day and we're trying to teach our children how important it is to take care of our trees, because they give us air to breath and they give us shade."
Several Thomasville businesses donated trees to the project. Wal-mart granted the school $500 to help purchase more.

text: The winter has arrived and temperatures are dropping across the northern hemisphere. For those of us that live in a cold climate and love our gadgets that means having to take off our gloves to use our touch screen devices, leaving our precious digits exposed to the elements, or does it? A company, by the name of OnTip, has designed and delivered what they claim are gloves that will keep your digits warm and cozy while you use your touch screen gadgets. With an embedded OnTip nub on the pointer finger and thumb of each glove, one can use their touch sensitive gadgets without having to remove their gloves. The team at The Gadgeteer was asked to review the OnTip 3-in-1 Gloves and I jumped at the chance to review them, as I am an avid skier and I love the outdoors. At $69.50, the gloves are a good deal, but we will need to see how they hold up to the rigors of the wintry outdoor world.

I know, I know, it's been absolutely forEVER since I last updated.
Here's what's going down:
-I've started a new day job. I'm settling in and it's kind of awesome. Ok, make that REALLY awesome. But BUSY! It does, however, mean that my photo time has been a little limited lately. So bear with me… because……..
-I AM GOING TO SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST NEXT WEEK! I'm on the photo crew for the music festival, and I'm staying with some of the guys from your favorite band and mine, McAlister Drive. I'm sure there will be some sort of biographical photo project, just by virtue of spending so much time with them. Cause that will be kind of cool and fun and interesting, and something new and different for me. If everyone's down with that kinda thing.
-My website is … well, I'm not going to lie - it's kind of a disaster at the moment. Between a couple of major database issues and a domain transfer, it kind of went kabluey for a little while. But I'm working on the issues, and should be up and running ASAP. Because, well, I'm going to start referring people to my site with my awesome business card handing out at SXSW! In the meantime, check out the blog, keep an eye on my Twitter, and wish me luck in Texas!

Hugh Jackman on The River, Zumba, and His Ice Bucket Challenge
Fly-fishing his way back from action-movie land.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Fly-fishing his way back from action-movie land.
Well, that happened!
With Neil Patrick Harris and Sting! And Clint Eastwood!
Remember the year 2000?
The actor behind the claws learns about retcon.
In nice suits.
See Chris Pratt, Andrew Garfield, and more crazy transformations.
Alongside Hugh Jackman, Rooney Mara, and Garrett Hedlund.
According to composer Stephen Schwartz.
This will be his fourth time.
Peter Pan's antagonist.
The Aussie joins the Elysium director's South African sci-fi film.
Starring Hugh Jackman as the father of a kidnapped child.
The Prisoners star says his time as Wolverine is "nearing the end."
A rarity among action movies this summer, The Wolverine has four primary female characters. Director James Mangold explains.
The fifth feature-length appearance of Hugh Jackman's X-Man is basically The Bad News Wolverine Goes to Japan.
How excited are you for Wolverine, Hugh Jackman?
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" beats "Snikt."
Also starring Viola Davis, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Paul Dano.
No judgement here.
Hugh Jackman as sideburned as ever.
It's Les Misérables minus everything plus hand-spikes.

Executive search firms have agreed a code to place the "responsibility for gender diversity back on chairmen," according to The Grapevine Online.
Drawn up by 20 leading head hunters, the code comprises seven "key principles to promote best practice for executive search firms."
One such principal is producing lists that contain at least 30 per cent of female candidates for board positions, those searching for interim management vacancies may be interested to learn. Under the premise of best practice, the decision on who to appoint will be passed back to individual CEOs, using the fairer lists.
The code has been suggested as a way to improve diversity in the boardroom, writes The Guardian, which was highlighted in Lord Davies' review earlier this year of 'Women on Boards'.
While voluntary, says the code's creators, head hunters who do not comply will be "conspicuous by their absence."
Motivation for the code was to emphasise the unique position that executive search firms hold in being able to promote gender diversity.
It claims: "Search firms are committed to help their clients increase the effectiveness of their boards and acknowledge the value that diversity can bring; they readily acknowledge the important role that their profession needs to play... to increase the proportion of women on boards, in both executive and non-executive roles."
Commenting on the guidelines, Michael Reyner, member of the drafting group said: "The group of people who drew up the code would like to think that they were already adopting a number of things consistent with the spirit of the Davies report.
"We haven't yet spoken to anyone who has declined to sign it, but I'd be disappointed if most people didn't."

The first official act for the Daniel Hand High School football team for the 2012 season included running on to the field during the pre-game ceremonies with a new State Championship flag to be added to the top of the bleachers. Last year the Tigers went 13-0 and defeated New Canaan in the Class L Championship Game to win the program's tenth title.
If the 2012 Tigers want to repeat the success of the 2011 team, their road will be a bit tougher. The Southern Connecticut Conference has "rewarded" the Tigers for their 2011 East Division Title by revamping their schedule so it now includes: Xavier, North Haven, Shelton and Hillhouse instead of East Haven, Hamden, Lyman Hall and Fairfield Prep. The SCC schedule is always tough, but this year is especially brutal.
Mark your calendars now, the game that everyone wanted to see last year will be played on October 12th at Palmer Field in Middletown. Plan on arriving early.
In what has become a Hand tradition, calling the plays this year will be yet another Senior quarterback making their varsity debut, Brendan Bilcheck. Bilcheck is a dual threat QB who can scramble. And he did not disappoint on Friday night, rushing for two touchdowns and passing for two more.
The defense returns more players with experience led by Captains Matt Walsh and Pete Gerson. Junior Ian Dieli has replaced Joe Demichele at noseguard and Senior Weston Staples has been moved from defensive end to linebacker to replace Danny Ives.
On Friday night, Bilcheck got the first score of the year, running it in from two yards out with 5:47 remaining in the first quarter. The extra point kick attempt failed so Hand led 6-0.
In the second quarter, Caleb Ewald caught a short screen pass from Bilcheck and made a dazzling 65 yard run for a score. Ian O'Toole ran in the two point conversion to make the score 14-0. At this point, with 8:25 remaining in the first half, Amity showed that they are improved from last year's team and held the Tigers scoreless for the next 20 plus minutes of the game.
At the start of the fourth quarter the score remained 14-0. The fans were then treated to a fast and furious two minutes that saw 28 points scored. Bilcheck scrambled from 11 yards out to make it 21-0. Amity then fumbled on the next drive and Hand took over with great field position. Bilcheck then hit Ewald for anther quick score. Hand now led 28-0 with 10:33 remaining in the game. On the ensuing kickoff, David Buono of Amity got the Spartans on the scoreboard with an 88 yard return making it 28-7. Matt Sullivan then came in at quarterback for Hand and made a 28 yard scramble to make the score 35-7 with 9:47 remaining in the game.
Amity scored one last time on a 2 yard run by David Attolino with 46 seconds left in the game. This was after most of Hand's starters had been pulled.
After the game Coach Filippone addressed the team and told them to enjoy the win, but also realize that a lot of work needed to be done before they would be ready to face Hillhouse next week, to be played Friday at 4 p.m. at Bowen Field.

of IRSs throughout the country should be upgraded promptly. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the committee of specialists assembled by the NRC in response to DOE's request.
The challenges in preventing detonations of RDDs are immense, and they will persist for many years. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of inadequately protected IRSs that are considered dangerous by safety standards adopted by the IAEA are present in many countries. Some are in use, some are in storage, and some are awaiting permanent disposal. Also, some IRSs have simply been abandoned by their legal custodians because there were no financially affordable disposal pathways for those that had exceeded their useful lifetimes or were no longer needed. Poorly protected IRSs, particularly those that have been abandoned, can become easy prey for terrorist groups.
Detonating an RDD cannot trigger a nuclear explosion with its familiar mushroom cloud. Unlike nuclear weapons, RDDs cannot kill tens to hundreds of thousands of people and obliterate a city instantly. However, the disruption attendant to an RDD detonation could be widespread, particularly if it occurs outdoors in a densely populated urban area and the RDD is designed to maximize the dispersal of radionuclides. Although the number of victims resulting from the effects of radiation will most likely not be great, the psychological impact of a radiological attack may lead to widespread fear, serious social disruption, and potentially catastrophic economic consequences.
From the U.S. perspective, the primary concern is the prevention of detonations of RDDs within the United States or against U.S. interests abroad. A related concern is illicit spreading of radioactive material from IRSs or other sources in populated areas through water routes and other pathways. To guard against attacks in the United States, preventive measures are focused on securing inadequately controlled IRSs that are currently in the country. Unfortunately, hundreds of unwanted IRSs have not been under adequate control, but DOE, with the assistance of other federal and state agencies, has mounted an aggressive program to find, collect, and secure these orphan sources, and many have been brought under much better control.
Terrorist groups might also try to smuggle IRSs or radioactive material in other forms into the United States. A variety of homeland security programs are in place to help prevent penetration of U.S. borders. However, this is a most difficult task, and the prevention of smuggling of nuclear materials across U.S. borders must be the object of continued vigilance.

Read what our Director Steven Asnicar had to say when he was interviewed by the Sydney Morning Herald recently.
CORAustralia is the chosen "Chain of Responsibility" training and consulting provider for many of Australia's biggest bluechip companies with national household brand-names. Whether you need assistance with training, pre-audits, compliance consulting, or systems and processes implementation we've got you covered!
But you can't get away with just any old training with a couple of Power Point Slides and some pictures! The logistics industry has made it very clear what is the benchmark for COR related training: The accredited courses released in 2012 by the Transport and Logistics Industry Skills Council (TLISC). These courses set the standard for Chain of Responsibility training in Australia.
They can only be delivered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), and on completion participants receive an official Statement of Attainment, which indicates they've satisfactorily completed the accredited course and assessments. CORAustralia prides itself in delivering the very best quality, most comprehensive, and useful-to-the-company training courses in Australia. There are very few RTO's that actually train these courses at all, and some that do are really just "token" courses which provide very little useful value to the participants and the Company paying for them.
We also do provide non-accredited short introduction / awareness courses, because we know that some companies want all their staff to be informed, but they don't need them to do the full RTO courses, with the associated assessment requirements. For these courses, we don't issue a Statement of Attainment, instead we issue a Certificate of Completion.
The table below outlines all the COR courses we offer. Click on the links in the Right Column for more information on each one.
Under the CoR legislation any person or organisation with control or influence in the transport chain has legal responsibilities to ensure compliance with all relevant heavy vehicle road laws.
Under the new national laws, everyone in the supply chain must take 'reasonable steps' to prevent driver fatigue and ensure a driver does not drive a heavy vehicle impaired by fatigue – an approach consistent with Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) laws.
The new National Transport Commission Legislation is clear. All parties in the supply chain who manage or influence elements of the supply chain, have responsibilities to prevent driver fatigue and ensure drivers can comply with the legal work/rest hours. If your actions, inactions or demands cause or contribute to road safety breaches then you can be legally accountable. Authorities will investigate the supply chain and up and down the corporate chain of command. The days of 'all care and no responsibility' are over.
Everyone in the 'Chain of Responsibility' includes but is not limited to:
Everyone in the 'Corporate Chain of Command' includes but is not limited to:
Other courses that can be relevant for trainees who need to do Chain of Responsibility training can include the Construction Safety Induction Course also known as the "White Card", the "Basic Fatigue Management" Course, also known as BFM and the Loading-Unloading Course.

When McLaren launched their Special Operations program last year, it opened the doors for its clientele to tap into the company's new vehicle customization program.
Since then, a number of Mclaren supercars have been born from this program, including the MP4-12C High Sport and, most recently, the X-1 . Now it looks like there's another one being cooked up.
Our friends over at Jalopnik managed to get brochure images of another project car from Mclaren's Special Operations, an exclusive supercar that has been christened "Project Alpha." Unlike the X-1 and it's one-off status, Project Alpha will comprise of six special edition MP4-12Cs that have been designed with a number of distinctive aerodynamic modifications.
The images point to these modifications, which include a Gloss Black front splitter, louvered front rear wings similar to the High Sport models, a Gloss Black roof, a Gloss Black painted rear deck, carbon fiber rear fender vents, Gloss Black GT3 bumpers, and a set of lightweight Gloss Black diamond cut rims.
Meanwhile, the interior of the Project Alpha MP4-12Cs appears to include a carbon fiber steering wheel with Alcantara wheel trips, a black Alcantara cluster cover, and a brushed stainless steel badge depicting the supercar's chassis number.
According to Jalopnik, the Project Alpha MP4-12Cs will head this way, specifically in Chicago, where six customers are already in line to receive all six models of the limited run supercar. These models will also carry the performance updates of the 2013 cars.

Earn your +1 before time runs out! Ensure your entry into the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon by volunteering now.
The NYC Half on Sunday will be Jason Hartmann's first race in nine months. Will it also be one of his last stands?
After the ING New York City Marathon was cancelled last fall because of Hurricane Sandy, the veteran American considered several other possibilities before finally deciding to "shut it down and take a rest" after the emotional letdown.Now he's back, but for how long is a mystery even to him. After Sunday, Hartmann will return next month to the Boston Marathon, in which he finished fourth—amd first among Americans—last year on a headline day in his long career. Nonetheless, when asked how long he is committed to running competitively, he replied: April 15th.
Hartmann, carrying on without a shoe sponsor, will turn 32 next week. Training has been going well, he said; his 130 to 135 miles a week are more than he was doing last year, and he feels good about where he is for Sunday's half-marathon, an important "pre-test" for the upcoming marathon.
But if Boston doesn't go as well as he hopes it will, he acknowledged, he might decide to call it a career.
"I feel really comfortable with it," he said of the possibility on Friday at a press conference before the NYC Half. "I really just have a comfort with my running now that I just work hard and do the best I can."
Much of that comfort level comes from his decision after a disappointing 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials to coach himself, not because of any specific dissatisfaction—indeed, Hartmann said he still uses much of what he's learned from his earlier coaches—but more because he felt that it was time to take responsibility for himself.
"I sleep a lot easier at night," he said. "I trust in what I'm doing, and that's a big component … when you trust things and you believe in what you're doing, I think you just take confidence in that. That doesn't guarantee it works out or anything, but I'll take the chance. I think part of me wishes that [I had done it] earlier, but I didn't have the confidence yet. Now I'm at the age that I feel 100-percent confident in what I'm doing."
If there's a downside, he said, it's that he has a tendency to over-train, and now there is no one telling him to stop. Finding the right balance, he said, has been a challenge, but one he feels he has come to terms with, understanding that every workout doesn't need to be a home run.
"I'm fine with hitting singles now instead of trying to jack one out of the park, because you strike out a lot, too," he said.
Hartmann, whose marathon personal best is 2:11:06, knows that he's never going to beat a 2:05 or 2:06 marathoner on speed. Instead, his goal now is to out-strategize and outsmart the faster guys; to capitalize on their mistakes rather than beating himself by running on emotion. That's what landed him a high spot in Boston last year, when some of the best marathoners in the world succumbed to the heat after going out too fast.
It's an ironic combination of patience and, where his running is concerned, acting as if there is no tomorrow. Instead of training for development, Hartmann is training for the day. The day is April 15.
"And beyond April 16th, I'm not really thinking about," he said.

Travel Guide Africa Zambia Livingstone
© All Rights Reserved allieco
Livingstone is a historical colonial city in the south of Zambia, right at the border with Zimbabwe. During recent years it experienced a boom in tourism, with the problems in neighbouring Zimbabwe where more and more tourists kept away from the town of Victoria Falls. It's located in the Southern Province of Zambia and has about 125,000 inhabitants.
© All Rights Reserved Luis M
At a height of over 100 metres and a width of about 1,700 metres, the Victoria Falls are the largest sheet of water falling in the world. Located within the boundaries of Mosi-oa-Tunya NP in Zambia and Victoria Falls NP in Zimbabwe, the falls are one of the most impressive landmarks of Africa and travellers from around the world are highly attracted by the opportunities near the falls. Hiking, wildlife viewing, bungeejumping, cruising, whit water rafting the Zambezi river and a helicopter ride to have a bird's eye view of the falls, all are very popular. As the falls are mainly located in Zambia, the best panoramic view is from Zimbabwe, viewing the falls head on. Even better would be the view from the air. It is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
The Victoria Falls Bridge is located along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, spanning the Zambezi River. It connects the two cities/towns of Livingstone, Zambia, and Victoria Falls. It's almost 200 metres long with a span of over 150 metres and with its height of 128 metres also is a popular place for bungee jumping.

Livingstone has a tropical climate with relatively high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. Temperatures are usually around 30 °C during the day and still above 20 °C at night, though June and July are about 5 °C cooler and the best months for a visit. November to April is rainy season when roads might be blocked and parks may be unreachable.
Livingstone Airport (LVI) has a number of flights, with destinations being Lusaka, Nelspruit, Cape Town, Lower Zambezi (for the national park), Mfuwe (for South Luangwa National Park) and Johannesburg.
The Zambezi Express travel 3 times weekly between Livingstone and Lusaka, taking roughly 15 hours.
Buses leave regularly for Lusaka (7-8 hours) and Shesheke (5 hours), from where you can cross into's Namibia's Caprivi Strip at Katima Mulilo crossing the bridge. The border with Botswana is just over an hour west and you can cross by ferry.

Getting a local sim card is easy and cheap. The biggest network is Zain, with Zamtel and MTN following. A sim card usually costs less than US$1. Texts to Europe and the United States|US]] cost between 200-300 kwatcha per text. People use texting more than calling, as calls from a mobile to a mobile are expensive.
Post in Zambia is slow but usually reliable. A post card to Europe can take between four days and two weeks, and costs about US$0.30. Parcels take longer, and are quite expensive - make sure you only seal your box at the post office, so you can show what's inside. It also works in your advance - if the personnel sees you only have boring soapstone carvings and nothing of value, your parcel is much more likely to arrive. Leave your cards and letters in the biggest post office; it therefore passes through less hands and is more likely to get to its destination.
