Christina Hendricks isn't dieting and she does not want to lose her curves. Christina is known for her curvy figure in Hollywood. When the rumors circulated that she was on a mission to lose 35 pounds, people were outraged. They wanted to see a real woman's curves on TV!
Luckilyor not, it isn't true. Christina and her people caught wind and shot down the rumors before they gained momentum. From Hollywood Life:
"I'm completely happy with my body, I'm not dropping 35 lbs!", Christina told Chloe, who just had to ask her about the report. Hendricks, 35, was genuinely shocked- she hadn't read the story- and gave Chloe a hug, thrilled that we'd be setting the record striaight!
The actress, with her red hair, was unmistakable at the small party in the Club Room of the Soho Grand Hotel. The premiere itself was hosted by the Cinema Society & Everlon Diamond Knot Collection.
Hopefully the stick skinny Hollywood ideal won't get to Christina. She looks great how she is, not everyone has to be stick skinny, right?

Seeking a friend until the end of the world
What would I do if that day is coming in 3 weeks? Carpe Diem? That sounds a bit extreme to me. But what if… there's no more laws, no more concerns about money, no such thing as morality, would I still give a fuck of these shits?
But would I just feel loose and enjoy the rest of these days? No, I don't think I would.

Since the 1980s, painting has played a prominent role in Chinese contemporary art. CHINAMANIA provides a multifaceted snapshot of the Chinese painting scene today.
ARKEN's exhibition presented 24 paintings by 11 different contemporary Chinese artists, ranging from artists whose careers took off in the 1990s to today's generations of young artists. Most of the paintings were made especially for this show.
Taking up and developing their country's classic art forms, the artists mix stylistic features of propaganda-art woodcuts, Socialist Realism and classic Chinese 20th-century oil painting with expressive brushwork, cute cartoon esthetics and figurative realism.
Thematically, the artists treat both national and international issues. On the one hand, they deal with local and personal issues relating to their own lives and emotions, and Chinese art, culture and history. On the other hand, they turn their gaze outward to the global world society. Inspired by the art and visual culture of other countries, their paintings have clear parallels to various Western art movements, notably Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.
While the style of each artist in this exhibition is uniquely different, they all share an interest in figurative painting and existential themes. In powerful colors, the artists employ the narrative potential of figurative painting to rouse our curiosity and fire our imagination. Together, they form a visual universe that is brightly colored, diverse and distinctly narrative.
ARKEN opened the first of three contemporary art exhibitions under the heading UTOPIA with Chinese Qiu Anxiong (b. 1972). His work Staring into Amnesia (2008), an enormous original Chinese train carriage from the 1960s, was the principal work in ARKEN's exhibition. Documentary video clips and poetic silhouettes have been added to the carriage taking us on a journey into China's past, present and future.
In recent years Qiu Anxiong has received great international attention with his poetic and moving video works which span from big and complex installations to hand painted animated films. The exhibition was the first presentation of Qiu Anxiong's works in Denmark.
In addition, the UTOPIA exhibition presented three of Qiu Anxiong's animated films. Inspired by traditional Chinese calligraphy, the Chinese artist lead us through a mythologised and dreamy version of the religious and political conflicts of modern society.
Qiu Anxiong belongs to a new generation of Chinese artists who bridge Chinese culture and history and today's globalised contemporary art. Cultures arise and perish, and the yearning for the perfect society is closely followed by the utopia's antithesis: an oppressed, conflicted dystopia. In a poetic and sensual idiom Qiu Anxiong raises the issue of which new utopias may provide the clue for today's globalised reality.
UTOPIA at ARKEN debated the utopia, the grand shared notion of the perfect society. Whatever happened to it? Does it still exist today? And if not, what has taken its place? Individual dreams of the good life, conceptions of globalisation, tiny enclaves of communities?
ARKEN presented 53 selected works of French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists from The Israel Museum, Jerusalem: Paintings and sculptures from the turn of the last century, with main works by artists such as Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas, Rodin, Gauguin, Cézanne and Van Gogh.
These brilliant artists revolutionised world art. Their new idiom was a reaction to the modern age.
The Impressionists were open-air painters, studying the changeable, vibrating sunlight. In the mirror image of the water they saw all contours dissolved. The Impressionists painted quickly and sketch-like in order to capture a world in constant change.
The Post-Impressionists denoted a number of contemporary and slightly younger artists who painted differently than the Impressionists as well as each other. Painting with dots or heavy contours, they sought stable structures in a reaction against Impressionism's fleeting, quivering surface of light.
The Impressionists often portrayed the modern age of industrialisation and the emergence of the metropolis. The next generation abandoned the big city, dreaming of a more original existence in the country, in the provinces or in remote exotic tropical islands.
The exhibition was organised by The Israel Museum, Jerusalem in collaboration with ARKEN Museum of Modern Art.

Ryan Murphy talks shop at Promax
Multihyphenate discusses juggling projects, writing for femmes
By AJ Marechal
Ryan Murphy learned the ropes of writing as a journalist, and that deadline-driven training has served him well as a mulithyphenate working in film, TV and perhaps theater soon.
At a QandA sesh Tuesday at the PromaxBDA confab in Los Angeles, the showrunner reflected on his career trajectory and offered some insight into his upcoming moves.
During his days as a journo, Murphy said that "After I had interviewed Cher five times, I was like, 'I think I need to do something else.'" However, the stress of the deadline-driven reporter environment instilled in Murphy a strong writer's work ethic. Because of that, he says he now "never has writer's block" because as a journalist he was told, "if you can't deliver three stories a day, you don't get paid."
When it comes to pitching, Murphy said the key to his success is that he "never goes in and says what the show is about." The audience at PromaxBDA laughed, but Murphy emphasized, "I talk about the theme first. For 'Glee,' I said I want to write about underdogs, and optimism, and a blue-sky show…and a musical. By the time I got to 'musical,' they were hooked. For 'American Horror Story' I said, 'I want to write about infidelity…oh, and it's horror.'" Murphy is also able to land A-list talent simply "expressing a strong passion for that actor's work."
Currently, Murphy is neck deep in projects, often working weekends, and has dreams of directing on Broadway. The writer quipped, "For the first time in my life I'm curious about Adderall." His newest skein and first go at a half hour comedy. NBC's "The New Normal," is based on his own personal experience, and noted, "When you see the show, a lot of it has happened to me." Murphy also mentioned using his own life as inspiration for his other series such as "Glee" and "Nip/Tuck."
Overall, Murphy enjoys penning women's roles, as he says "with women, it's more easy as a writer to access emotional stuff." But when asked about the challenges of television, Murphy initially joked that the "first thing that came to mind is good lighting!" However, upon some reflection, he stated, "Sometimes an audience doesn't like to see a character evolve." He as a creative head, then, must walk a "fine line" while progressing a storyline and pleasing his ever-growing fan base.
As for the evolution of the "Glee" storyline, Murphy doesn't have the plot entirely sorted out but has already planned the final scene of the series. "It involves Lea," he teased for the audience, and then smiled, giving nothing else away.
Some things come to mind:
1) I love his journo background.
2) He has ADD and pretty much admitted to it in this article.
3) It's not surprising he loves writing for women. The best characters on his shows are female.
4) Veryslight side-eying to the Glee fandom.
Again, it's when I type in "monchele" into twitter search to get new updates where I see the same people. It's lame of them to care so much, imo.
It's when i type in "monchele" into twitter search to get new updates. I guess I'll have to block them. It's pretty lame, imo.
UGH. It's the same freakin' 5 people. You're boring me.
Can you find something else to complain about, please? I'm begging you.
I'm sure there's some Ryan Murphy article you can dissect, bitch and moan about till thy kingdom come.
/end bitch post
wow…."—That's how much it cost for Ray Bradbury to write Fahrenheit 451. (via nprfreshair)
I really love Royal Verbena Musk scent and bought it at Anthropologie the other year but for the life of me cannot find it!
Does it not exist anymore? Anything else similar in scent?
So frustrated because I can't find it!!! ARGGHHH!!!!
1) Why is it so hard to grasp the concept of Cory and Lea actually dating AND using it for publicity? Why do they both have to be mutally exclusive? It's not a fake relationship if they take pictures together at times, have random twitter sightings, show up to red carpet events separately, travel to each other's hometowns, hang out with their other's parents, don't comment on their personal lives, etc. If it were a fake relationship, you would have heard about it beyond online fandom and from people without their own agendas.
2) The fact that there is an anti-RL relationship portmanteau is pretty pathetic. It makes the people who invented it sound bitter, period. I don't care how it's spun, it's fucked up.
3) Please refer to this gif below to see how I feel when I read a dumb Glee post.
I'm out.

Crime scene tape still seals off a gate near Holiday Park, the tape a bright reminder of a very dark crime police say happened in these woods back in September.
The body of Jeffery Gebhardt, 35, was found in a swampy area inside of the wildlife management area. Sources tell WJBF News Channel 6 the hunter was stabbed to death.
Investigators with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and the Wilkes County Sheriff's Office spent days searching the woods for clues. The evidence they collected was sent off to the state crime lab, and that's where the case now stands.
On the weekend Gebhardt was killed, more than 100 hunters were in the woods, and investigators have interviewed a lot of those people, several of them traveled with Gebhardt from Blairsville, Georgia to these Wilkes County woods.
Wilkes County Sheriff Mark Moore tells me he hopes investigators will know more about this crime once this evidence gets back from the crime lab. But, he says even then police will have to re-interview some of the people that they've already talked to. Then, it's still not clear if they will have a clear suspect in this crime.

More than 10 percent of the population is on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The wholesale use of these SSRIs is causing an ever-increasing wave of senseless killings and shootings across America. The drugs destroy ethical beliefs and twist moral values, allowing users to convince themselves it is "fun" or "just retribution" to slaughter people.
The only school shootings and recent workplace massacres where SSRI drugs aren't implicated is where there was a deliberate attempt by authorities, parents, or the media to cover up the facts of the case. [Source]

Oct. 25: Start with 'Why'
We keep talking about Possibilities of improvement at Banner Good Samaritan. It all starts with leadership – the ability of our leaders to inspire, engage and connect with each of our team members at Good Sam is critical to our ability to improve. Effective leaders are able to explain why every member of their team should believe in what their department is committed to improving.
One example of a highly effective leadership team is in our Perioperative department. In a short few months, under the leadership of Davey Ellison, Becky Klungreseter, Jennifer Nguyen, Michelle Beverly and many others, there clearly has been a transformation of culture – nurses, techs and physicians in the Perioperative department are beginning to BELIEVE again. That has led to a clear improvement in performance.
Today, our OR utilization rate is at the highest level in12 months; our turnover times are decreasing; our OR start times are increasing; more surgeons are coming back to Banner Good Samaritan; our departmental productivity is improving — and the important outcome is our patients are experiencing more efficient and effective care.
That is the "why" that drives our team members to travel far and wide to join the Perioperative team, and the reason patients and families will travel far and wide to get their surgical procedures completed at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center.
It all starts with our leaders. Thank you for engaging and connecting with each other — to explain why we all come here every day to create a world class destination for patients and their families …
Steve Narang, MD, is the chief executive officer at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center.

Aluminum Joint Sealant
Aluminum Joint Sealant
Metal panels can be an attractive choice for exterior cladding. They are designed to stand up against a variety of different forces that act against them. One common metal used to make metal paneling is aluminum because it is generally less expensive than other metals, resists corrosion, and is durable. Using joint sealants for aluminum presents some interesting challenges that must be addressed.
In order for metal paneling to be watertight, the joints must be designed accordingly because they are usually the only place water can intrude into the substrate. Whether the joint is sealed or not depends on the design of the paneling. If the panels have been made to adhere to a barrier design, then the joints should be sealed. If, however, it is has a rain screen or drainage design, the joints are left unsealed.
Another important consideration that should be addressed using aluminum is how much the metal will shrink and expand. Metals tend to expand and contract more with thermal fluctuations than some of the other building materials available in Southern California. This means that the joints between the substrates must be able to accommodate that movement. Should those joints need to be sealed, a sealant that stands up to these fluctuations should be chosen.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional Republicans on Tuesday vowed to press for early action this year on trade deals with South Korea, Panama and Colombia that they said have delayed by Democrats for too long.
"I strongly believe that we should consider all three agreements in the next six months," House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp said at a hearing on the pacts signed between November 2006 and June 2007.
"This deadline isn't driven by politics or posturing. It is driven by the need to create jobs for American workers," the Michigan Republican said, calling the three pacts "a sure-fire way to create American jobs by growing U.S. exports."
The South Korean pact was snagged by objections it would open the U.S. auto industry to more competition, while the other deals have been delayed by Democrat concerns about human rights in Colombia and tax haven laws in Panama.
Camp gave President Barack Obama credit for renegotiating the South Korean agreement last year to address auto industry concerns, and taking other steps to set the stage for votes on that pact in Congress this year.
"Unfortunately, the administration has not taken the same productive approach to the Colombia and Panama agreements. I hope that the president lays out such a timetable in his address tonight," Camp said, referring to Obama's annual State of the Union speech to Congress.
The Obama administration has said for two years it wants to work with Colombia and Panama to address concerns about those two pacts, but has avoided saying when it hopes to submit the agreements to Congress for a vote.
Representative Sander Levin, the top Democrat on the committee warned Republicans against bundling the three trade deals into single package for a vote.
But without committing to a specific timetable for congressional approval, Levin also said he was now more optimistic of resolving Democratic concerns that have blocked the Panama and Colombia deals.
Through the efforts of the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, "there is now the prospect of successfully addressing tax haven and labor law concerns with the Panama FTA," Levin said.
Levin, who recently traveled to Colombia on a fact-finding mission, said he was also encouraged by new President Juan Manuel Santos' approach to anti-union violence and other labor concerns raised by Democrats.
"Throughout my discussions, there seemed to be a wide agreement that the new Colombian government was expressing a different approach than its predecessor on these critical issues," Levin said.
"I believe there is now an opportunity for the two governments to work together mutually to achieve real progress on the ground," Levin said.
The National Association of Manufacturers, the American Farm Bureau Federation, Ford Motor Co, FedEx and MetLife all testified in support of the pacts.
Steve Biegun, a vice president at Ford, said the changes to the Korean agreement negotiated by Obama administration in December were "a truly great achievement."

Extending a middle class tax break would put more than $1,000 in the average American familyÔÇÖs pockets for the next year and should help to continue to fuel a U.S. economic recovery, a U.S. Congressman says. The proposed legislation also would help small business owners with payroll taxes.
The biggest battle in Congress will be offsetting the cuts by raising taxes on those making more than $1 million per year. The act would tax income in excess of $1 million by an additional 3.25 percent.
ÔÇťCutting taxes for middle class families and small businesses should be an area where both parties can find common ground,ÔÇŁ Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown told news media Wednesday in a teleconference. ÔÇťEconomists of virtually all persuasions agree the payroll tax cut helps our economic recovery and every $1 cut in employer side tax cuts generates $1.20 in economic activity.ÔÇŁ
He said he is willing to put bipartisan politics aside in the interest of 5.7 million Ohio families and 200,000 small businesses.
The Ohio Democrat bristled at the fact he and his fellow Democrats will face opposition from Republicans, despite the fact his favors middle class Americans and small businesses, because it requires taxing incomes in excess of $1 million.
ÔÇťWith families struggling it is especially important to expand this important payroll tax cut,ÔÇŁ Brown said, ÔÇťbut some Washington politicians are willing to do anything to protect tax breaks for those making over $1 million in income.
ÔÇťWe want to pay for this tax cut, we do not want to add it to the deficit,ÔÇŁ he said. ÔÇťWe think by paying for it with people making over $1 million one, it is fair because they have done well over the past decade and second, it wonÔÇÖt affect the economy in a negative way because it is giving money to those people who will spend it.ÔÇŁ
House Speaker U.S. Rep. John Boehner, R-West Chester, favors continuing and even expanding the middle class tax cut, but he said he believes they should be paid for through cuts in federal spending.
Boehner told The Associated Press there is no debate about the fact the payroll tax needs to be paid for ÔÇö ÔÇťThe presidentÔÇÖs called for them to be paid for. Democrats here have called for them to be paid for. So if in fact we can find common ground on these extensions, I think you can take to the bank the fact that they will be paid for.ÔÇŁ
Brown co-sponsored the bill because the payroll tax cut would result in $1,430 in the pockets of the average Ohio family next year. The average Auglaize County family would reap $1,513 if the legislation passes Congress, and 1,002 small businesses would benefit from the billÔÇÖs passage and adoption.
The U.S. senator stressed the existing 2 percent payroll tax cut, which is set to expire at the end of December, needs to be extended at least for one more year to help American families and to help the economic recovery gain a stronger foothold.
ÔÇťAt a time when many families and businesses are still struggling, we must extend and expand this important payroll tax cut,ÔÇŁ Brown said of the Middle Class Tax Cut Act of 2011. ÔÇťFamilies will have more money to spend on necessities like gas and food, and their mortgages and rent. Businesses will be able to hire additional workers, boosting the economy. This bill gives tax cuts to people who need them ÔÇö and will use them. AmericaÔÇÖs middle class canÔÇÖt wait for them any longer.ÔÇŁ
Brown cited 2008 Republican presidential candidate U.S. Sen. John McCainÔÇÖs economic adviser Mark Zandi as saying passing this legislation could create as many as 750,000 jobs and failure to extend the tax credit could push the economy back into a full blown recession.
Brown cited a comment by Barclays analyst Michael Pond, who warned that letting the payroll tax cut expire at the end of this month could cause a drop in the gross domestic product by as much as 1.5 percent.
If the Middle Class Tax Cut Act of 2011 is passed, the act would provide a tax cut to 160 million workers by slashing the Social Security payroll taxes paid by employees and the self-employed on their wages and salary from 6.2 percent to 3.1 percent.
The act also would slash the payroll tax for 98 percent of the U.S. businesses by making the same cut for the first $5 million of payroll. More than 200,000 small businesses in Ohio would stand to benefit.
The act also includes an incentive for business owners to hire new workers by eliminating the Social Security payroll tax paid by employers on the first $12.5 million of an employerÔÇÖs increased taxable payroll for the 4th quarter of 2011 and $50 million in increased payroll for 2012.

Sometimes, there are shades of grey between white and black...Rating: K+Disclaimer: Just Retelling Reuel's TalesBeta reader: Cairistiona--------------------------------------------------------------It was cold here, upon Taniquetil. The air was thin, and the snow on the peak never melted. The wind didn't blow. It was peaceful, serene a white silence stretching through the halls of Ilmarin. There, high above all, Manwë sat on his throne, and his sight was directed to the east. The threat to Middle-earth has been destroyed. The One Ring has been melted in the fires of Orodruin, and a new age began. Change could be felt all over the world. And yet the expression of the Elder King was not one of joy. His all-seeing eyes were half-closed, focused not on the happening in the world, but something else. A memory, maybe. Then h

Look into my EyesOf my all forms, there is only one left. Of all my senses, I use only one. I don't remember the taste of wine in Valmar. I don't remember the feel of the hammer and anvil in my hands. I don't remember the sound of the Song I sang once, before Arda came into being. I see. I see the doom nearing. It walks with soft steps into the very heart of my realm, and I know it's too late already."I have come. But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!"The centuries of watching, and yet I didn't see this coming. I know this form will not hold much longer, and so I look for the last time. Because that's what I am. Never sleeping, always burning with the devouring flame of my spirit. The Lidless Eye. I look to the West. That is where you dwell on your lofty thrones.

Spark - chapter 2WordsWords and music. Two things that were so far removed that it took Maedhros a while to even realize they were there. His mind still did not understand them, but his heart did, at least in part. It recognized them as something to break through the endless cycle of painful heartbeats, and left him no say in the matter. He suddenly found that it had the music, and the words, as if it remembered them from a time long ago, though that seemed impossible. They came automatically, forcing themselves out of him with such strength that he couldn't hold them back. He sang the words, sang the music, without having any recollection of how to sing, or how to speak.He fell silent with exhaustion, and found that not only his song, but also the other had stopped. There was no despair. He accepted it, as he had accepted everything for so long, until a voice cried out to him.Fingon.He stood there, a spectre from a different life, a tiny figure cut out from paper and stuck into the wrong picture,
Spark - chapter 5Strength"So
Fingon has told you.""I found out on my own.""We thought it would be best not to tell you until you
were stronger.""That would have been quite a feat."Maglor shot his older brother an almost anxious glance, not asking the next question: So how did you take it?Maedhros was sitting up in bed again, propped up against pillows, as he had almost all the time since the previous day. His back, shoulder and arm weren't taking it well, but he was determined not to give up any hard-earned ground. Sitting up had meant having his right arm in plain sight for twenty-four hours. He had risen to the challenge, having spent most of that time staring at the stump, trying to accept that it was a part of him now.He could not deny that the discovery that he was maimed had left him badly shaken. It had cast a doubt on every single thing that he had been clinging to since first realising that his ordeal was over. Revenge. Strength. Normality. Fingon's reac
Spark - chapter 4MaimedHis broken shoulder was finally healing. The healers had expressed their amazement at the fact, but for Maedhros, it didn't bring that much of a change for the better. Progress and healing were still slow. He could turn his head without passing out from dizziness, and he found he could even move his right arm again, but it felt so strange, alien, and raw, that he mostly remained lying the way he was, still enduring them doing almost everything for him. And there was something else, a nagging fear of something unspoken. He had not had a look at his right hand in all this time."What aren't you telling me?" he finally found the courage to ask Fingon one evening, after the bandages were changed and the healer had left.Fingon became just a bit too preoccupied with rearranging the covers. "What do you mean?" he asked."My hand won't heal, will it?"Fingon looked down at his hands. It was slightly more difficult to read his face when he was not meeting Maedhros' eyes."Don't lie to m
Spark - chapter 3GuiltTurgon's voice was cold. It was always cold when Maedhros heard him speak, which was seldom. Fingolfin's and most of the others' were usually rather flat around him, even the healers'."His brother is at the gate."Fingon turned from his chair at Maedhros' bed to look at his brother standing in the door. "Which of them?" he asked in surprise.Turgon laughed without humour. "Does it matter?""It does. Can you imagine Caranthir walking through our camp? There'd be blood.""It's Maglor. So there probably won't be blood. Not that he'd deserve it any less." Turgon's voice was dark with resentment. "Atar allowed him to pass. Mainly because he had the decency to request, not to demand.""Leave him in peace," Fingon said wearily. "He is here to see his brother, no more.""Why did you have to bring him here?" Turgon said bitterly. "He's got more than enough brothers on the other side of the lake whom it wouldn't hurt to have their share in nursing him back to health."Maedhros understood

Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready."The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.Lorenz

Mark Coyle was named Director of Athletics on Dec. 1, 2011. During his tenure, Bronco Athletic teams have posted the highest grade-point average in school history and more than 70 percent of student-athletes have a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
In addition to the academic success, the Broncos have won multiple conference championships, including football, women's gymnastics, women's swimming and diving and men's tennis. Several teams have advanced to NCAA postseason play, including men's basketball, women's basketball, women's gymnastics, men's tennis, wrestling, and men's and women's cross country and track and field.
Additionally, the department successfully negotiated home-and-home football games with Florida State University, the University of Virginia, Oklahoma State University and the University of Cincinnati.
Coyle also introduced the priority point system for the Bronco Athletic Association, which rewards season ticket holders and financial gifts to the athletics department. In addition, the department was able to secure a $12.5 million naming gift from Albertsons to name the football stadium Albertsons Stadium in the spring of 2014 and the department renegotiated the multi-media marketing rights agreement with Learfield valued at more than $42 million in guaranteed revenue.
Coyle also implemented a strategic plan for the department - centered on developing student-athletes and staff to be leaders academically, athletically and in the community.
He came to Boise State from the University of Kentucky, where he served as the Deputy Director of Athletics.
In that role, he oversaw the day-to-day operations of an $83 million, self-sufficient, 22-sport athletics department. He served as the sport administrator for men's basketball and volleyball, and also handled the management of scheduling contracts for football and men's basketball.
While at Kentucky, fundraising reached record levels in annual seat donations and capital pledges, improving facilities for multiple programs, including football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, gymnastics, men's and women's track and field, softball, baseball and rifle.
During his time at Kentucky, the athletics department's operating budget increased $28 million. Additionally, Coyle oversaw the day-to-day management of the multi-media rights agreement with IMG College, valued at more than $78 million.
Coyle joined the University of Kentucky from the University of Minnesota, where he served nearly four years in a number of capacities, most recently as Associate Athletics Director for External Relations. In this role, he oversaw the corporate sponsorship and suite sales of Gopher Sports Properties, marketing and promotions, athletics communications, video services, the ticket office, licensing and gophersports.com.
As a member of Minnesota's executive management team, Coyle was responsible for assisting with the supervision of the day-to-day operations of the department, including creating and implementing the athletics budget, hiring coaches, administrators and staff.
Prior to joining Minnesota, Coyle was the Vice President of the Collegiate Sports Division at Host Communications, Inc. Coyle helped manage multi-media marketing rights agreements with several Division I universities and conferences, including the University of Kentucky, the University of Texas, Florida State University, the University of Tennessee, the University of Notre Dame and the Southeastern Conference.
In addition, Coyle gained valuable experience in ticket operations at Florida State University and the University of Miami (Fla.).
Coyle (11/11/68) received his bachelor's degree in English from Drake University in 1991. He earned his master's degree in teaching from Drake University in 1992 and a master's degree in sports administration from Florida State University in 1993.
He is married to Krystan, who is a doctor of physical therapy, and they have three children - Grace, Nicholas and Benjamin.

The Pirate Bay plans to buy Sealand
Pirates get sea base
Posted in Music and Media, 12th January 2007 14:44 GMT
Swedish file-sharing website The Pirate Bay is planning to buy the 550 square metre principality of Sealand, a former British naval platform in the North Sea that has been designated a 'micronation'.
The group has set up a campaign to raise money to buy the self-declared sovereign nation. Outside the jurisdiction of the UK or any other country, The Pirate Bays believes it could safely run the world's largest 'bit torrent tracker'.
Last year the Pirate Bay was closed down after raids by the Swedish police, and although it returned to a new Swedish server after a short stay in the Netherlands, the Motion Picture Ass. of America, the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau and the US government have all lobbied for The Pirate Bay's closure.
Sealand's royal family, Prince Roy and Princess Joan Bates and their son Prince Michael, Prince Regent, who set up the principality 40 years ago, are willing to sell the platform for £65m.
"If we do not get enough money required to buy the micronation of Sealand, we will try to buy another small island somwhere and claim it as our own country (prices start from $50,000)," the Swedish organisation says.
It is also looking at Ladonia, situated at the edge of the Scandinavian Peninsula, once ruled by King Ladon, and declared independent in 1996. ®

I guess to me it just depends on the flaw. Superficial flaws, like being forgetful or, say, clumsy don't really change anything about a character in a real sense, especially if the flaw is just being inserted in an effort to make a character "not a Mary Sue". If being forgetful is something that really affects the character - they're very bothered by the fact that they can't remember things in their life or people's names or whatever - that's a bit different. If someone's ugliness is something they're self-conscious about, it's also quite different than someone creating what is basically a Mary Sue, but then saying "but I have a nasty scar on my face..." and then them ignoring the "scar" completely in that its effect on their appearance doesn't affect their personality at all.

More votes in Detroit, Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Cleveland and Philadelphia to name a few. Dividing America ... Obama's legend.

6 cups clam or seafood broth1 tsp thread saffron1 1/2 pounds firm-fleshed fish, cut in bite-sized pieces1 dozen mussels1 dozen small clams12 large shrimp in shellsSea salt2 tbsp parsley, minced8 cloves garlic, minced1 tbsp fresh thyme2 tsp sweet smoked paprika8 tbsp olive oil1 medium onion, chopped6 scallions, chopped1 red bell pepper, finely chopped1 large tomato, chopped2 cups Bomba paella rice or Calasparra paella riceLemon wedgesAlioli (garlic mayonnaise)
Heat the broth in a large pot. Stir in saffron. Pat fish and shrimp dry between paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and let sit 10 minutes. With a mortar and pestle mash parsley, garlic, thyme and 1/8 tsp salt into a paste. Stir in paprika; add water if necessary to form a paste.
Heat 6 tbsp of oil in 15" paella pan over medium high heat and quickly brown the fish 1-2 minutes. Do not fully cook. Remove to warm platter. Add remaining 2 tbsp of oil, onion, scallions and bell pepper to paella pan and cook until the vegetables are slightly softened. Raise heat, add tomato and cook until it becomes sauce-like, 2 to 5 minutes. Pour in the hot broth and bring to a boil. Sprinkle the rice evenly across the pan. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring rice and rotating pan occasionally. Add all reserved fish (but not shrimp). Stir in parsley paste. Taste for salt. Do not stir after this point. Lower the heat, continue to simmer until rice is no longer soupy but enough liquid remains to continue cooking the rice (about 10 min.). Add extra liquid if necessary.
Arrange shrimp, clams and mussels over rice, placing edges of mussel and clam shells so they open facing up. Cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes until rice is almost done. Remove pan from the heat and cover with foil. Let sit 10 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with fresh alioli.
Debbie "Would recommend this recipe 100%...it came out perfect and tasted wonderful"
Camilla "Excellent recipe! We cut the portion in 1/2 for two people and added sea scallops. Yummy!"
Barbaríta "Fabulous recipe. Flavours were divine, wonderfully balanced. I used frozen seafood mix - shrimp, scallops, calamari (fresh were unavailable) - very delicate - and they were (happily) not at all overwhelmed by the rest of the dish. I imagine fresh seafood would be even more out of this world!!! I made this for a party. It completely worked. Thank you!"
Terry Dagrosa "Outstanding recipe, thank you. We loved this mixed seafood paella (I used cod fish for the white fish) and served it with the garlic aioli, and of course a pitcher of sangria. "

Happy 22 to the best big a leetle like me could ever ask for! I can't believe I haven't even know your for a year I'm so glad were so close as I know I could tell you anything and you'd be weird with me always! can't wait to celebrate! So much big little 1 to 1 love! Mwah!!! 😘🎉🎈@katie_schik
Grab the bottle of whiskey and meet me by the river.
I want to return to a time when
you cried tears that tasted like his sweat
and I chugged from the bottle
to burn my desire
to dry your cheeks with my lips.
When we were five years old, we held hands
as we danced around the playground.
At fourteen, you gave me a friendship necklace-
a heart with a silver scar down the middle.
One half read "Best", the other "Friends."
Now, you make me constantly nostalgic for a time
when I could play off touching you as innocence.
When you threw up his name
and asked me what I thought about love,
I fingered the engraving on my necklace
and wished I could tell you:
it's feeling "everything",
even though the engraving reads "friend."
It's cursing his name not because you moaned it,
but because it's become
a way for you to justify love's inexistence,
even though I can feel it stabbing me
when I look at you.
— The Sun in July | Lora Mathis (via orangetreess)
how can you say, youve never loved me
when youve counted every freckle
touched, every.
numbering them as your fingers race from my rib cage to my back
and then come the clusters
you count them as if they would disappear
how can you say you don't know me
when you've memorized the number of seconds it takes me to fall asleep
when you can remember exactly what I was wearing on our first date
when you know what I will forget
"yes, we've met before"
"yes, im happy"
"yes, i love you"
"yes, ill be here"
how can you say you don't miss me
when you cradled me so carefully at night—
when you listened to me breath on your neck every time i fell asleep on the bus
when you can look at boots the same way because they remind you of me
the freckles, the faint ones, the ones you have to really look to find.
the freckles, the small ones, the ones you only see when you squint
the freckles, the hidden ones, the ones you only see without a shirt
the freckles, my freckles, the ones you on see when you see me
don't you dare say those things, when you know the clusters, the big and the small, the circle and stained, the ones that come out in the sun, my "pants are too low" freckles, you know.———you've counted,— numbered—and connected every last one.
every. last. one.
it has been some time
tonight i went to BU film society mostly because a dear friend is now the president and I wanted to support him, and because im jealous of his passion. I mean hes in SMG with me, and I think he is also a finance major but he just loves movies, and film and not the way a cool kid would love them, its really genuine, its inspiring—but im not gonna spout off and tell him that I admire him admiring moving and I wish i could have that passion and interest in something creative, compelling and inspiring. its just awesome.
another thing that ive noticed is just awesome—which as an adjective does not get enough credit and for lack of sounding very very Bostonian at a time the sox are in the world series, living, breathing, learning in Kenmore is WICKED awesome.
i digress, although life at this moment is quite the experience. quite the word has been on the brain and ive been using it quite frequently.
another wicked awesome thing, is listening to best friends have a conversation, feeling how well they know eachother, being there to witness it and how people can just get lost in conversation and memories almost rudley except its not rude because theyre not meanng to exclude you theyre just so excited about memories and people have to respect that because if it was your best friend youd be so happy and excited too—if it was this type of conversation.
so the film was trainspotting, which i have already seen but never ceases to make me feel things, and think and cringe and smile and sort of fall in love with a drug addict, as bad as that sounds i want to love the main character, but real love. like i would probably date him and want to be there for it al—thats kind of fucked up. and the movie makes it so you fall in love but know its messed up—its quite(see) remarkable —falling in love with a drug addict youve never met from a movie. powerful stuff. and i realized, there are some real genuine people who i should be exposing myself too. some real GDI's
i also decided that i think ive been letting people really get to me. and im sublte ways but real decisive ways. im not to proud or happy about that.
well i did actucally tell my friend, and now im not writing anytmore
spelling has always been a weakness of mine
grammar too

A homework assignment creates controversy at a Colorado high school. The lesson is on fermentation, and it has gotten the attention of a lot of parents.
It's a standard part of the curriculum for biology students to learn about fermentation, but at one high school, students are learning about it in an hands-on way, by brewing up their own beer.
The assignment asks students to become familiar with all steps of the beer making process. Students can even get extra credit if they go for a tour at the Coors brewing factory. However, the lesson and the extra credit option are upsetting some parents. Some parents say that the assignment sends the wrong message. They say that they don't see any reason to teach a 15-year-old the steps to creating alcohol.
"I think that, until it's reviewed it should be stopped immediately, and then, in the future, decide what to do with it," opined a parent.
"Basically a how-to guide, in my opinion, on how to make your own alcohol," opined another.
However, some parents think that the assignment is nothing more than a fun science project. In fact, they say that breaking alcohol down to a scientific process actually takes the mystique out of drinking. While the district is investigating the lesson, students, or students whose parents object to the assignment, can choose to do an alternate, non-alcoholic assignment.

It is a colonnaded structure, which was designed and implemented by Senemut, royal steward and architect of Hatshepsut (and believed by some to be her lover), to serve for her posthumous worship and to honor the glory of Amun. Djeser-Djeseru sits atop a series of colonnaded terraces, reached by long ramps that once were graced with gardens. It is built into a cliff face that rises sharply above it, and is largely considered to be one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt".[1] It is 97 feet (30 m) tall.[citation needed] sanctuary doorways The unusual form of Hatshepsut's temple is explained by the choice of location, in the valley basin of Deir el-Bahri, surrounded by steep cliffs. It was here, in about 2050 BC, that Mentuhotep II, the founder of the Middle Kingdom, laid out his sloping, terrace-shaped mortuary temple. The pillared galleries at either side of the central ramp of the Djeser Djeseru correspond to the pillar positions on two successive levels of the Temple of Mentuhotep. Today the terraces of Deir el-Bahri only convey a faint impression of the original intentions of Senenmut. Most the statue ornaments are missing - the statues of Osiris in front of the pillars of the upper colonnade, the sphinx avenues in front of the court, and the standing, sitting, and kneeling figures of Hatshepsut; these were destroyed in a posthumous condemnation of this pharaoh. The architecture of the temple has been considerably altered as a result of misguided reconstruction in the early twentieth century A.D. Credit: masterplaan / Flickr

The Atlanta Falcons have tried to bolster their running game this offseason. They let the underacheiving and aging Michael Turner walk away, they then signed former St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson. ESPN ranks the Atlanta running game as the 29th overall with 87.3 yards per game.
Michael Turner was averaging 3.6 yards per carry, and had an even 800 yards rushing on the season. Steven Jackson has never had a season yards per carry average that low, in fact he has only dipped below the 4 yard mark once in his career, and that was while playing for the St. Louis Rams.
Steven Jackson is coming off his 8th straight 1,000 yard season and averaged 4.1 yards per carry last season.
D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has made a list of his 5 observations from morning walk through, and number 1 is something the Falcons were looking forward to.
"Running back Steven Jackson still has a good jump-cut step. He even looks explosive at half speed."
Jackson being a threat out of the backfield not only as a ball carrier but as a receiver has the Atlanta Falcons offense looking unstoppable on paper. They have two solid receivers in Julio Jones and Roddy White not to mention a dependable tight end in Tony Gonzalez.
Add in Jacquizz Rodgers and this offense could break records potentially.

Lola or Local in Dallas?
- t
- tintintoo Oct 10, 2005 05:41 PM
First time in Dallas--we want to have a nice celebration dinner. Have read good things about both restaurants. Which should I choose? I mean Lola the restaurant, not the Tasting Room.
re: Naughty Lola
I second the nomination...Lola.
Ate last Friday night at Lola the Restaurant and it was fabulous as usual. Can't go wrong there.
Both are very good. I must say, like the other posters, that I prefer Lola. This is especially true if you're a wine drinker. Lola's list is very deep and incredibly well priced, with some older offerings below current retail pices. Plus there's something for everyone. Owner Van Roberts has everything from Grand Cru Burgundy and first growth Bordeaux, to a section of the wine list called Twenty$omething -- intersting and good wines for under $30. List is on line at www.lola4dinner.com.
That being said, Local is very good. If wine is not a big attraction, the food there is very close to, or as good, as Lola. I might give Lola a very slight nod on the food, but they are close enought that it comes down to a question of individual tastes. Local is also a bit more casual, although Lola is not stuff or formal at all. However, Local's wine list, while good, isn't even in the same ballpark as Lola's.
Finally, if you're not a wine drinker, the third restaurant that you should consider is York Street. Again, a good wine list, although I generally prefer Local's list. But not at all in the same ballpark as Lola. However, I'd rate the food here a half notch above either Lola or Local. Sharon Hage is the best cook working in Dallas right now, IMHO. Wonderful, fresh, seasonal ingredients, simply, but well prepared.
re: Mike C. Miller
I agree that Sharon Hage is one of the very best chefs in Dallas. That's one of the reasons she's nominated for the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef-Southwest year after year...
Lola is probably the best restaurant in Dallas for the money. Food is consistently excellent and the wine list is superb, as well as very reasonably priced. Besides, at Lola you don't have to worry about having to deal with any of the nut cases in Deep Ellum, which from time to time can be quite unpleasant.
Lola is always reliable and good. Local is over-priced, not very inventive, and can be just down-right lousy.
I would have to throw Bijoux into this conversation when considering Lola....Either way do the 12 course tasting menu...will be a top 5 meal for you.....
I would have to agree with a lot of what Mike C has stated. Local is far better than what most here are giving it credit for. I think I have had more standout dishes/drinks at Local than Lola but Lola's overall consistency is what gives it the nod.
If wine isn't your thing (which is not the case for me), I would go to Local. My few meals at Local (in both dining rooms) stand out mainly b/c of the wine. IMHO, Dallas needs places like Local more than Lola b/c Local takes advantage of local, hence the name, purveyors more than most any restaurant in town. As a result, the meal at Local is more uniquely Dallas. While a number of items at Local seem over-priced and some items are not home-runs, there is plenty to like at Local (tops on my list inc. the fried green beans and the well-thought-out drink list).
A few notes to follow up on Bhutani's post, much of which I agree with. Since I wrote my initial note, Lola has changed chefs. I think the current chef, David Uygur, in his second tour of duty at Lola, is performing extraordinarily well. I'd now rate the food at Lola a significant notch above Local and on par (depending on the night, the dish, etc.) with York Street.
One note on Local that I may have omitted in my initial review is that it can be a bit noisier than the other two. That can cut both ways, depending on what atmosphere you're looking for.
I am going to Local next, so I only have half a recommendation. That said, I really did enjoy
Lola. The food was quite good and well served. I liked the atmosphere. I would say
it was pretty tight in there and a little louder than I thought it would be from other reviews, but not oppressive. I appreciated the wine list and thought it was quite good and pretty reasonable even for some of the more impressive wines.
One point I saw from other postings on Lola is check you bill. They charged me incorrectly for the wine and I am sure it was an 'honest' mistake, but that shouldn't happen in my opinion and I showed my displeasure in the tip seeing it was the servers fault.
Will let you know once I do Local.
I ate at Local for the first time in a while this weekend. Still very good, although our main courses weren't quite up to the standard that I remembered. But it may have just been the selection of the dishes that we picked. The steak was a closer to medium or medium well than medium rare and strangely flavorless. The mushrooms on top, however, were quite good. Both appetizers -- tuna tartar and a pork taco selection -- were very good. An amuse of frothed celery root soup was stunningly good.
Wine list is still something a weak spot compared to some comparable Dallas spots, although one can find a decent bottle. Just not a lot of selection. Thirty selections maybe, most from the U.S. and in the moderate price range, albeit with a healthy markup. They used to have a reserve list, but I gather that they have discontinued that and now just have a high end bottle or two on the main list. Whites appeared to be more to my tastes than the reds, but that could just be a personal bias.
re: Mike C. Miller
Thanks for the update on Local Mike. In number6's last post he/she states that he/she saw from other postings to "check your bill" at Lola. I have eaten at Lola MANY times and know that you have, too. I have never read this about Lola and, certainly, have never heard of or experienced this problem there. I assume that your experience is akin to mine in this regard?
Indeed. I probably eat there at least twice a month. Checking the bill is good advice at any restaurant. Anyone can make a mistake.
But I can't imagine anyone at Lola consciously gouging a customer. Jesus, they're are older vintage wines on the wines list at under retail price!! If they were going to gouge people, the wine list prices would have to triple overnight.
re: ErinTulane
Visiting from the Austin board, just wanted to share our experience at Local this week, since we went to Local based on some recs from Chowhound. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and the place, though it's definitely pricey. We had 1) a blood orange-something? glazed salmon dish with various assorted peas, which was delicious, perfectly cooked fish, and 2) scallops with gnocchi, tasty, but a little salty and hard to tell scallops apart from gnocchi in the dim light. ;)
We also had the cardomon-spiced donut holes for desert. What's not to like about fresh donut holes?
Service was welcoming and solicitous without being annoying or pretentious. The place was half empty (or half full, depending on your outlook) on a weekday night.
Haven't been to Lola, but might return to Local on a repeat trip to Dallas, especially if someone else was paying...
