Imagine the weepy songs singer Chris Martin would write if his wife ever cheated on him. Your brain can't sink to that level can it? Well, seems Paltrow wouldn't wish too strong a punishment on anyone caught cheating – like a whole Coldplay album of break up tunes, perhaps – as she defended her character in Contagion…

29. Iron Man (2008)
It's comic book time, as Paltrow signs on to play the love interest/foil of the titular Iron Man, aka phenomenally successful businessman Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). She plays Pepper Potts, and despite the silly comic name, manages to bring credit and smarts to the role.
The plot follows Stark's transformation into Iron Man after being kidnapped in the Middle East, where he first uses the suit to escape his captors. When free, though, Stark realises he could use his new identity to become a superhero.
March 3 2011
In a Nutshell:
A family of eccentric prodigies reunite after years apart to spend time with their father, who says he has only weeks to live. Really, it's funnier than it sounds.
Family isn't a word. It's a sentence.
Eli Cash: 'Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is… maybe he didn't?'
Royal Tenenbaum: 'I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.'
Henry Sherman: 'I don't think you're an asshole, Royal. I just think you're kind of a son of a bitch.'
The Tenenbaum's were once known as a prestigious family of geniuses who graced the front covers of magazines and spent time in the limelight for their work, but after the demise of the patriarch's marriage the family grew distant.
Their mother, Etheline, still living in the family home where the three children grew up, has become a successful archaeologist and author. After years of silence her ex-husband, Royal, suddenly reappears announcing he has cancer and has only six weeks to live.
His one intention is to make right with his family and spend his remaining days with them.
Their children have not lived under the same roof for years but are drawn back from their separate lives soon after this declaration.
Chas, the eldest, has intense paranoia over the safety of his children, Ari and Uzi, after his wife's death, and makes excuses to move his family back in.
Margot, their adopted daughter, is dealing with the breakdown of her marriage to neurologist Raleigh St. Clair.
The youngest son, Richie, once a champion tennis professional is now away at sea dealing with a mental breakdown; when he hears of the Tenenbaum reunion he instantly sets back home.
Each child has a different reaction to their father's news and the strains of their relationships all come to the surface as he tries to repair the damage of a 20 year absence.
However, Royal's tenacious character changes not only the lives of his family, but everyone around them too.

Faith's Kitchen Renovation: The Demolition
Renovation Diary: Faith's Budget Luxe Kitchen
Last week I explained the big renovation and kitchen project we took on last year, and I showed you lots of pretty pictures of kitchens that inspired me. But in renovation, before a kitchen gets better, it usually gets worse. Much, much worse.
Want to see what's involved with pulling apart an old house to put in a new kitchen? If you've ever thought about tearing out a wall, brace yourself — let me show you what's it like.
Our renovation was not what I would call DIY. We had a contractor and a whole crew building an addition to our home. Professionals poured foundation, built walls and straightened stairs, installed new electrical wiring and lighting, and ran pipes.
However, one way we chose to save money was to do the initial demolition ourselves. In our house, that meant a lot of work. In fact, if you had told me ahead of time just how much work it would be, I think I might have run away whimpering. But DIY projects are built on ignorance (haha) so off we went!
The goal of demolition, whether you're just pulling out kitchen cabinets or tearing down walls, is to get to the point where the bones of the house are exposed, ready for new finishes, or to be fixed and adjusted (like the missing foundation and slanted joists under part of what is now our new kitchen). This involves a lot of manual labor and smashing and breaking, but also more finicky things like scraping up old floor glue and pulling nails out of walls.
So we waded in with crowbars (borrowed from our contractor), an enormous sledgehammer, lots of breathing masks, and bottled water.
Demolition Lessons
Here are some things we learned about demolition:
My husband pitching something out the back door into the by-now-giant debris pile, which was later shoveled into a huge dumpster.
- Do not underestimate it. Demolition requires a lot of physical labor, to put it mildly. In the kitchen area alone we needed to: Pull cabinets away from the walls, disconnect old appliances, take down a drop ceiling, pull up several layers of old flooring to reach the subfloor and, most notably, tear down all the plaster on the walls and ceiling and remove the lath strips nailed into the studs. Then, when all that was done, we had to get rid of the debris. All in all, the demolition on our home took nearly three months of weekends and evenings, even with the help of friends.
- Do not underestimate it.
Just reread everything I said above. Don't underestimate the toll on your back, hands, and knees! Have a plan for doing something nice for the neighbors who put up with clouds of dust rolling out your windows for weeks.
- Spare the landfill: People will buy or haul away almost anything.
While most demolition does involve sending something to the landfill (there aren't a lot of reuse options for broken plaster and lath) — you might be surprised at how much people are willing to take away for you, or even buy. We sold the home's old kitchen cabinets for several hundred dollars. The sweet couple who bought our cabinets were really excited to get them, and we were glad to send them to a good home. The husband was a plumber, too, so he helped disconnect the sink and gas to the stove. Since then we've sold or given away scrap metal, extra insulation, and other discarded fittings from the home like mirrors and ceiling fans.
- Protect yourself.
The physical labor involved with this project was extreme for us. We're not used to using crowbars and sledgehammers every day, and while this was fun, it also presented lots of opportunities for serious harm. Wear work boots and gloves, and especially when working in old dusty houses, a respirator. My husband inadvertently bought this pink respirator, which made him look like Barbie imitating Darth Vader. Highly amusing, but still — practical.
- Get help. Our friends and family helped so much. I have five brothers, and they were superstars, helping us tear down plaster and ripping lath away, piece by piece.
- Know when to pay for professional help. But, in the end, after months of work, we knew that we were beat. We were holding up construction because there was a lot of debris left in the house, and so we paid a few hundred dollars for some help. A nice gentleman with a big truck came and hauled away all the lath and over 100 bags of plaster debris (most of which I had bagged up myself, thankyouverymuch). The reality is that there are people who do this for a living, and sometimes you really need to accept you're at a point of diminishing returns and pay a little money for some help.
That's a peek into our demolition process! I felt like I was permanently covered in dust for most of last summer, but it was so satisfying to really put sweat equity into our house. Have you ever done this? Any additional tips for demolishing an old kitchen?

Faith's Kitchen Renovation

Having a bunch of brothers is the best. I exploit mine constantly.
I'm excited to demo our kitchen now. Of course, it's not in the budget for a couple more years, but still.
wow, Faith! This is amazing. You must have been exhausted.
Oh Faith that first picture was my life all summer... but mix in about a foot deep worth of blown in insulation (which is essentially very fine shredded paper)
For anyone looking to do something like this in the future, renting a dumpster is a very smart move for anything you won't be able to sell. It eliminates the need to bag stuff up, just scoop it off the floor into a trash can and then dump it into a dumpster.
haha I only have one, but you better believe I use him all the time too! He stores his project car in my pole building and while he offered, I refused to take any kind of payment to store it... told him that the only kind of payment I'd take is a regular supply of favors :)
We're about halfway through a full kitchen remodel right now that we are DIY-ing almost everything. Fortunately, our kitchen is small and demo was done in a weekend thanks to my husband and 2 other guys. There is no turning back once you demo!
This is just like our kitchen last year; we started in April and we're almost finished. Everything but the new plastering and the second-fix wiring has been DIY. Our house was built in 1894 and the plaster and lath were original, the plaster had big tufts of horse hair in it! The demolition really took it out of us (I never knew my body could ache in so many places) but I loved uncovering the history of the house. We ripped out an ugly fireplace and found newspapers from 1939, just a few months before the WW2 started and when we took down the ceiling we found a beautiful black and white photo of a lady taken in1904. We've cleaned up the photo to display in the new kitchen, I'd love to find out who she was.
We just did demo of a lot of our lath & plaster walls last weekend. We've kept all the lath and plan to use it as kindling in our wood burning fire place. Another alternative is sell (you could even put it in bundles) on craigslist. Unfortunately the plaster had to be taken to the dump. No alternative there. Thanks for the post. I feel your pain. It took us four 10 hour days with 5 of us to deal with all our demo. And yes, I ache....pretty much everywhere!
We had a demolition party: get some beers, a bunch of sledgehammers, and tell your friends to go nuts.
This reminds me so much of our first house...! We lost so much time doing the work ourselves; never again!!
I agree with with MegW, Renting a dumpster saves so much hard work. You handle the trash once and it's done. No bagging, storing or handling it twice.
I hope you got some of your materials tested. I had the unfortunate experience to discover, part-way through demo'g my first house, that the kitchen tile mortar (done in the 80s) and the plaster jointing compound on old drywall contained asbestos. In my city now, you can't dump materials without having paperwork certifying it is asbestos free and you must sort your materials before heading to the dump.
I'll add my agreement to the previous dumpster comments. I've done it like in the photo also, and it is amazing how heavy a plastic bag of plaster debris can be.
Also, I agree on getting the right gear and tools. A reciprocating saw with a bunch of fresh blades is invaluable when you're trying to pry loose door trim that you want to reuse. Be careful! There will be nails on the floor. Metal lathe will cut your skin. Ceiling dirt will fall in your eyes. Even with a respirator, you'll fill your Kleenex with black.
I disagree with using friends with sledgehammers. It depends on your friends, of course, but they can do damage to themselves and your house.
Don't pull down any studs unless you're sure you understand the structural system. You can hire a structural engineer for advise or rely on a competent carpenter.
Leave time in your schedule to repair some issue that you'll reveal during the demolition. It may be inadequate framing. You may find that you're brick bearing wall has mortar that's turned to dust. You may not like the way the plumbing cuts through your upstairs floor. You will find something and it will take time to fix.

Hamilton County's Nightside Pachyderms hosted the Tennessee Commissioner of Safety and Homeland Security.
At their meeting in Ooltewah, Commissioner Bill Gibbon addressed two the Tennessee Highway Patrol's top priority is having an impact on the number of deaths on the road.
Recent attention has already brought numbers down in two big categories.
"We're gonna continue to really focus on driving under the influence and enforcing our seat belt laws, because we think those are two ways that we can have a very tangible on the fatality rate,"
Gibbon said for the first time in recent history, fewer than 50 percent of traffic deaths involve people not wearing seatbelts, and fewer than 30 percent involve drunken driver.

reviews & comments (15)
This cake was fine. It requires four bowls. Working with corn starch and powdered sugar is messy. I added a third apple but it could have used even more. It required three sticks of butter which is excessive for a simple coffee cake. I also thought the lemon threw off the cinnamon spice flavors. Last week I made a better apple cake I found here on epicurious: Marie-Hélène's Apple Cake. Less butter, less mess, less time consuming, and far more delicious.
I made this yesterday for my husband and my houseguests. They are still raving about it this morning. This is going into the recipe box. I substituted ground ginger for the cloves. Also, I used two tsp. of vanilla extract since I don't have vanilla bean. Otherwise, I made as directed.
Based on the reviews, I thought this was going to be AWESOME but I've got to admit that I think my expectations were a bit high. I followed other people's advice and added more cinnamon, a bit more lemon and a third apple, but given all of the spices that went into it I still felt like it was lacking in flavor. Don't get me wrong, it was still good (and really pretty) but if I make it again I'll cut the lemon peel back a lot, add cinnamon directly to the batter and maybe switch to pecans instead of walnuts... Worth a try any way!
I made this recipe very similarly to how it was written although taking some of the suggestions people before me had made - more apples, more spices, etc. I was surprised and dismayed by how much I did NOT like it! It was way too sweet and mushy. I would NEVER make this again.
If this cake were a man, I'd marry it. Took the advice of others to use nutmeg and increase the apple (to 3).
This recipe was a disappointment, primarily because I lived in Germany as a child and it did not resemble the apple cakes I remember. This is a perfectly decent cake if that is not what you are looking for, but it is more like a coffee cake, and not nearly as apple-y as I would have liked.
The only change I made to this recipe was using vanilla extract rather than a vanilla bean, and adding a pinch of nutmeg. Took quite a bit of prep time, but was well worth the effort.
Very nice batter! I did make some changes though. The second time I made it, I added more lemon zest; it gives such a bright, fresh flavor that is not really detectable as lemon, but improves the cake. And, I used much more apple than it calls for. Very good. I put a full cup of walnuts in the streusel. Also, the addition of gray sea salt, a couple of teaspoons, to the streusel, helps to highlight the flavor.
I forgot a few additions; to the apple mixture and the streusel, more cinnamon definitely. To the apple mixture, I added a small bit of allspice and nutmeg, and some Applejack Apple Brandy and I allowed the apples to macerate for about an hour prior to assembling the cake. Also, half of my family is German with extremely high standards for their Apfelstreuselkuchen, and even they were satisfied.

Rocking the Boat
A few years ago, toward the end of a particularly intense session, I made the following request of my psychiatrist, "Try just for one minute to take your shrink's hat off, O.K.!" Whatever was annoying me has long since faded in memory. His response hasn't.
"But that is who I am," he said. I remember the statement struck me so viscerally, a vision popped into my head. I imagined him sitting there in his suit and his tie and his sensible shoes, wearing a steel hard-hat, the word "shrink" emblazoned on it. The hat was firmly welded to his skull.
At the time, I was reading, How to Know God - The Soul's Journey into the Mystery of Mysteries by Deepak Chopra. When I got home, I rifled through the pages in search of a quote I'd just read. It fit the situation perfectly. I had my doctor read it the next session:
"What's the one thing you can do today to grow in spirit? Stop defining yourself. Don't accept any thought that begins 'I am this or that.' You are not this or that. You are beyond definition, and therefore any attempt to say 'I am X' is wrong. You are in passage. You are in the process of redefining yourself every day. Aid that process, and you cannot help but leap forward on the path." (1)
To his credit, my doctor read it, and was polite and open-minded. At that time, he still couldn't take his "shrink's hat" off. I think at that moment, it was more a declaration of my independence than anything else. In my journal, I also wrote,
"I'm a soul first - not a woman, not a teacher, not a mother, not the roles I play - I'm a soul first."
I was trying to tell him and myself too, despite all the drugs and the therapy and the frustration - I was, first and foremost, a person in my own right.
My diagnosis is Bipolar II - rapid cycling. I jokingly say it sounds like, "The Second Annual High Speed Bicycle Race between the Arctic and Antarctica." You've got to use humour with this disorder. For "healthy people," their moods are like sitting in a boat on the ocean. A steady sea gently rocks it with sadness or anger, or playfully ripples it with happiness. Once in a while, there may be a periodic but controllable swell of emotion. On the other hand, someone with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder has been knocked out of the boat, into the ocean - sometimes bobbing between drowning and treading water - sometimes floating on the surface to come up for air and sunshine, only to be dragged under into the murkiness by its paralysing and icy grip. All this can happen within the space of minutes or hours.
We've tried all kinds of "life-preservers" to get me back in the boat. Some of the drugs have felt more like tossing me an anchor. At the best of times, they can feel like wearing water-wings. I can handle that better. For the most part, I've had to adapt to life in "the ocean." Riding the waves and the swells. Swirling in the eddies. Holding on for dear life when a storm blows up. I've almost lost my life to its depths a time or two. Above all, I am grateful for calm seas when they come.
Shakti Gawain said, "We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or to other peoples' models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open." (2) As I tread water, I see I am not alone. I see Sting and Peter Gabriel. Robert Munch and Margot Kidder are hanging on too. He's reading her, "The Paper Bag Princess." Brian Wilson has found some peace in this ocean, though he used to be a Beach Boy. And Buzz Aldrin crashed down here for real in a space ship once. There are others too numerous to mention. (3)
And some no longer swim here, though they gleaned some gifts from time spent fighting the waves: Virginia Woolf, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams left behind their writing. Van Gogh, Jackson Pollack and Georgia O'Keeffe, their art. Handel, Schumann and Mahler, their music. (4)
Though I'm in the ocean most of time - soaked to the bone, seaweed tangled around one foot, my hand reaching toward the sun - I am not the water. It is not me. I am not this disorder. Or the emotions which sweep over me. I am not my diagnosis. Or my prescriptions. Or what other members of society whisper about people they call "mentally ill." I'm simply me. Just me. In fact, I'm quite proud of myself.
I know why some so-called "normal" people might be scared by those of us free from our boats, those of us tossed about in these waves. It reminds them of their own vulnerabilities. Deep down they fear, what if my boat was toppled over? Would I flail and drown? We fear most what we do not know. If anything, those of us here in the ocean have learned to know ourselves very well. We swim strongly when we need to survive. Surrender to the current when fatigued. And even when it drags us down, down, down to the depths, most of us to do not succumb. We re-emerge. Bringing treasures from those depths - Empathy. Compassion. Creativity. Inspiration. Insight. And wisdom.
Winston Churchill lead England through the war using his ocean gifts. His stamina and intuition made him the only man for the job. He was not a disorder. But an inspirational leader. He had the ability to tap into the strength he gained from his personal challenges, and communicate that determination to the masses. His "particular genius," as Shakti Gawain put it, was he conformed to no-one. The tenacity he learned in the face of his own depression shored up an entire nation.
This ocean isn't to be feared. Even someone whose brain isn't ravaged by its own unstable chemicals can lose his grip, tossed over by loss, or death, or guilt. Luckily, most people scramble back onboard after a while. They never lose the memory of the icy water, the taste of salt upon their lips. Some bring back lessons of strength and compassion and creativity, just as we ocean-dwellers have. Some learn to fear the ocean even more. Albert Camus said, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
Lucky for most of us, we have people around us to swim to. Firmly seated in their boats, they patiently tolerate the occasional splash we throw at them. For me, that's my husband and my doctor and my daughter. Always ready with a shout of encouragement, or a tow-rope, or a lately, in the case of my shrink - a tip of the hat - in this seemingly endless swim across the English Channel. From Calais to Dover. To the White Cliffs. To home.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My child has attended Carmalt since kindergarten & we have been extremely pleased with the education she has received. The school is run effectively & efficiently. I'm thankful that public schools like this are available here in Pittsburgh. I'm also grateful that issues are dealt with and not swept under the rug & there is constant communication from leadership. Dr. Och is a great, hands on principle who knows her students and CARES. I have and will continue to reccomend Carmalt to other Pittsburgh parents looking for a magnet school.
This school is possibly one of the worst in the Pittsburgh Public school district. When I say this, I am NOT over exaggerating. The principal is, like another parent said, accusatory, insane, and abusive. She uses her authority to take control of the kids in a manner that penalizes all kids for what a few kids do. Take it from me, I attended this school for 9 years until I graduated to high school. Dr. Och is a nutjob who abuses her power as principal to intimidate the teachers into doing what she wants, including the social worker, who has lacked doing her job ever since I have been there. Instead, she spends her time bullying children as the principal advises her to do. Many parents say this school is wonderful, but do they truly know what is transpiring behind closed doors? I'm a straight A honor student and was treated so terribly by this principal and her staff. Don't let the name of the school fool you. I didn't learn any science or technology until entering high school. Long story short, don't try and send your kid to Carmalt. Take it from a student who spent 9 years of their life in this school.
My son went here for kindergarten, we were excited as he is very interested in and advanced at science and technology. The choice of kindergarten teachers was dismal, he did well even though his teacher was apathetic, yelled at kids for being, um, kids and was stuck in the dark ages of education. She was waiting to retire. The leadership here, or should I say lack thereof, has obviously impacted the morale and efforts of teachers and students. The rules are extremely authoritative and all the kids seemed to pay for a few who acted out. The principal is a wack job, to say the least. She is extremely condescending, disrespectful and accusatory in situations that don't warrant any over reaction. I switched my son to Brookline, as at least 3 other mothers of kindergartners did for first grade. Frankly, he learned science and technology on a level that should have been fit for Carmalt. And the principal there is amazing. Approachable, present and normal. If you are thinking of Carmalt, just talk to Dr. Oche to see what you think and you will see what I mean.
ANY PARENT OF A CHILD WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, I ENCOURAGE YOU NEVER SEND YOUR CHILD HERE OR TRY! I had spoken to the principal there about registering my 4 yr. old for kindergarten. He is autistic. Once the principal heard that he was autistic she said her class was full. Whispering, she told me that their test scores were low and that Concord Elem. was much better. Today my son's teacher got a call from her with her screaming at her saying, "How dare you refer a special ed student to our school, I have worked to hard to get this school where it needs to be!" His teacher had to tell her she had her hands full with students to get her off the phone. So she tried to persuade me not to register him there. Please pass this along! I will be doing all I can to stop this discrimination!!!
I hate this school and the teachers have a hard time understanding what the kids and capable. A lot of them also scream for now reason and jump to conclusion. Student
The principal Dr. Och is the sweetest most caring person I've seen within the pittsburgh public school district to date. My daughter ended up leaving this school however due to a few problems. It seemed to me that the kids were a bit out of control there, the class size was too big for her to learn to her potential. She also had problems with some of the older kids cursing and being mean to her. I was ecstatic when my daughter got accepted but it didn't work out for us. I must say that I don't think it was a lack of effort, just a situation that got to big to handle. The teachers seemed a bit overwhelmed as well.
Leadership is lacking in this school. There is no understanding of parent school partnerships because collaboration is not respected or sought out. How disappointing.
Carmalt is a wonderful school. My children absolutely love it. Their curriculum is excellent for not only average students but also fits the needs of excelled children. Great school in a great location!
This schools funding, curriculam and events centers too much around ethnicity.
This is truly a wonderful school with excellent staff. The teachers care about the students. My 4th grader is very happy here, very proud of her school. Fantastic principal.
wonderful school love the teachers. principle is wonderful loving person . VP and teachers need help communicating with parents about troubled children.
It was very important to choose a school that would allow both my Kindergartners creativity & intellect thrive & this public magnet school certainly goes above & beyond our expectations. The administrators, teachers & support staff's qualifications and the love that they have for their position is a rarity these days. It refreshing and assuring for me as a parent knowing that when I send my daughter to school, she's getting a great education and learning experience full of academia, technology and the arts.
I think the saying goes, 'You get what you pay for.' Carmalt provides just that...a mediocre environment. While there are certainly caring teachers on board and some good intentions, there are plenty of worms in these apples! Parent participation for field trips, class projects, etc., seems to be limited, particularly for working parents. I don't feel welcomed in my child's school. Communication between school personnel and parents is pretty low. Written communication to parents is not only last minute, but also written at the level of a first grader. Safety is an issue, and the curriculum is poor in many ways. Overall, a poor choice...keep searching!
I have been wanting my children to go to Carmalt even before I had them. I grew up with an Aunt who had taught there for years and I just thought she was the coolest person in the world. She still is the coolest. I currently have two children attending. I plan on having them attend until they graduate to go on to High School. I believe that change can be constant for some children. Attenting Carmalt provided stability.

Matthew Birt says:
Nicky Hayden will not be offered a new factory Ducati contract for 2014.
The universally popular American was told by Ducati during last weekend's German MotoGP round at the Sachsenring's of the Bologna factory's plan not to offer him a new deal to keep on a Desmosedici for a sixth season.
Ducati though don't want to lose the experienced 31-year-old and will...

Well said. Factory rides are nice but let's face it, it's not a package that can win, and doubtful it will be next year either.
Hell, put Nicky on a Gresini or T3 for year and see how he does. The only reason someone would want to take Nicky's spot next year would be for the money, they're not going to win anything.

It's a shame to see Nicky go but hopefully he'll be happier in WSB, the Ducati has been a nightmare for him. Ducati don't seem to want to listen to their riders. So many times they have been told that things aren't working but they ignore the riders and carry on with their own agenda.
Cal hasn't got a Tech 3 ride next year as Pol Espargaro has already been signed, so as things stand he'll be out too.
He has got the talent to ride a factory bike, he's been beating factory riders on a satellite bike all year but he won't get the Ducati, they've already got others lined up so that will be two riders out unless something drastic happens.
It's becoming a Spanish race series which is a shame.
It would be great if Marc VDS could afford to go to GP and have Scott and Cal as their team but that won't happen either.

Nicky time is up - he's not winning another title and Ducati is on a train to nowhere in MotoGP anyway. Nicky should set his sights on being the first person to win the MotoGP and WSBK championship. But by the looks of it, the Ducati Panigale won't help him do that! lol

Despite Dovi being ahead in the championship, to me Hayden still seems to be riding better and faster, but obviously Ducati are going to favour the Italian rider over an American rider, no matter how hard he has worked for the team during his time there. Even though Hayden obviously wants to stay in GP, I feel it would be more enjoyable for him if he went to SBK, because that Ducati just isn't working, I don't even think Stoner would be able to get near the leaders on that thing.

The pimpled king of the brake-check took the big pay-check. Why shouldn't Cal? I thought Benny would enjoy the prospect of seeing his BF humiliate Cal on equal machinery?

Ducati must still have a couple of old pipe framed bikes in mothballs?
Get Bridgestone to build 'em some special tyres, re-instate Preziosi and with Casey back in the saddle..Bobs Gran's your Uncle?
Nicky's only 31, has been on a factory bike in GP for 10 years and must have a few quid stashed. He don't need the money.
Riding a Panigale after being demoted is going from the frying pan into the fire. Ditch the Bologna Bozo's altogether I reckon..
Love to see him on a GSXR alongside Camier in WSB and do double duty testing Suzuki's GP bike..getting ready for a 2015 return to GP.
Get Leon on the GP bike too..they're both better and hungrier than DePuniet..who seems to have lost it since he got married?..can't really blame him for having his focus elsewhere though.

"Love to see him on a GSXR alongside Camier in WSB and do double duty testing Suzuki's GP bike..getting ready for a 2015 return to GP."
I like that idea...
Yeah..win win for Suzuki and Hayden. I reckon he still has plenty to offer.
They get an experienced factory development rider who's up to speed and exposure to The States, which may even see them re-open their bike business.
Get him at Suzuka too..he'll work his socks off for them.

Wosi, what about Nicky on the new fireblade in WSB, MotoGP inspired bike should be perfect if Nicky can get used to the "looser" handling compared to the Duke?

are also reported to be options for Nicky, so maybe one proposal is that he partners Sofuoglu in the new Mahi Kawaski SBK team.

It does read like an advertisement, but it is one that, as a parent, I want to read.
Oh, I agree...I should have put some more positive spin on that assessment. I have nothing against vehicle owners installing GPS in said vehicles being used by others. It's paid the bills for me in the past.

b. Making light bulbs glow
Students, working in pairs, are provided with a light bulb, a short length of wire, and a battery. Following the diagrams of a lab worksheet provided, they attempt a series of orientations of bulb, wire and battery. For each they must explain why the bulb does not function.
Lab List 4-3; lab worksheet based on SciencePower 9 BLM 10-1
9. Understanding circuits
a. Schematic diagrams
Take a graphic and text note of a schematic diagram of a series circuit with a cell, bulb, buzzer, switch, resistor, ammeter, and voltmeter attached. Label each part of the circuit.
Drawing Circuits worksheet
b. Series and parallel circuits
Add to the note the definition of a series circuit (charges have only one path to follow in the circuit). Draw another simple schematic illustrating this. Then add the definition of parallel circuit (charges have more than one path to follow in the circuit). Draw another simple schematic to illustrate this.
Given a table worksheet with columns for loads, series/parallel and schematic, complete the table given information in each row.
c. Circuit building

HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) - A Springfield man charged with causing a weekend car crash that killed two high school friends of Holyoke's mayor pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday.
Jonathan Lopez, 21, was ordered held on $40,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty to vehicular homicide, failure to stop for a red light and leaving the scene.
Lopez, driving his mother's Cadillac, ran a red light at about 2 a.m. Sunday and struck a Honda Civic with four occupants, police said.
Two of the Honda's occupants, identified by Mayor Alex Morse as Moira Murphy and Brian Callahan, both 23, died. The other two occupants were hospitalized. Police did not say who was driving.
"Words cannot express the sadness our community feels at the loss of Moira Murphy and Brian Callahan in last night's tragedy," Morse wrote on his Facebook page. "Moira and Brian were proud members of Holyoke High School's class of 2008, and were much beloved by all who had the good fortune of knowing them."
Morse graduated a year ahead of the victims.
Lopez and a passenger had left the scene by the time police arrived, investigators said. He was tracked down later.
Lopez told police that the Honda had run a red light.
His lawyer argued for $1,000 bail, saying Lopez was a lifelong Springfield resident who lived with his mother and stepfather and was not a flight risk.
But prosecutor Melissa Doran told the judge that Lopez is on pre-trial probation on two assault and battery cases in Northampton District Court and is a flight risk.

Common Summer Book
New College has a tradition of providing a common summer book for all of the in-coming students. Knowing that the summer between high school and college can be stressful, (and knowing that you are currently living a life between boxes and suitcases, with lists upon lists upon lists), this is a brief moment to cut through the clutter and focus on what the whole transition is about -- college, ideas, and expanding your world and your perspective.
We choose the book collaboratively. Faculty, staff, and students all suggest books that they think are appropriate. We then run a January ISP (a class offered during the January term) where students first choose six books that the class will read during the term. They then speak to members of the college community about the value of the book, interview participants in the first-year book program at other colleges and universities, and, together, reach a consensus on the book for the year.
The students unanimously chose the play, Clybourne Park (2011) by Bruce Norris. It was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2011 and is very much informed by Lorraine Hansberry's important play, Raisin in the Sun. The Pulitzer board identified the play as "a powerful work whose memorable characters speak in witty and perceptive ways to America's toxic struggle with race and class consciousness."

Minnesota's budget surplus is getting bigger. A new economic forecast released Friday morning shows the state has an extra $1.2 billion.
The latest report from the Minnesota Management and Budget Office is more than $400 million better than the November forecast.
The state of Minnesota issues an economic forecast twice a year. It represents an estimate of future tax collections compared with spending commitments and will guide budget decisions this session.
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton and House leaders say they want fast action on a tax-cut plan of $500 million or more.
Senate leaders are taking a go-slower approach and favor putting at least some of the surplus into a rainy-day account.

IMPORTANT: Calling the Yu-Gi-Oh! Fandom to Action for Dan Green
I know you all haven't heard from me in a while but I return with an urgent and important message for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans.
You may or may not have heard by now, but Dan Green—the voice actor behind Yugi and Yami Yugi—recently suffered a very tragic loss. His wife, Michal, passed away on Thanksgiving due to complications from giving birth to their twins. Luckily their children are fine, but the loss is still understandably great.
Family, friends, fellow voice actors, and fans have all banded together in an attempt to support the family. Multiple steps have been taken in an effort to help Dan in his time of need. Family and friends have set up a website for any and all who wish to send their condolences to Dan. The website also includes instructions and links for those who wish to send donations to help support Dan and his children. A direct link to this website, The Dan Green Guestbook, can be found below and in the sidebar of the FYY! homepage.
LittleKuriboh has also set up several charity auctions to help the family via his usual avenue of Card Games for Charity. He has posted a video with information on his channel, CardGamesFTW, which also includes links to all of the auctions. (A direct link to the video can be found below and on the FYY! homepage sidebar as well.)
Dan Green is the voice behind one of the key characters that brought Yu-Gi-Oh! to life. Many of us have grown up with the voices he supplies to his various characters, not only in Yu-Gi-Oh! but in other anime as well. The very least that we can do, as a fandom, would be to pray for Dan or send him well wishes (whatever your preference or belief may be). At the most we can contribute to his family and children in their time of need.
Please join the rest of the fandom and myself in coming together to support Dan Green.
The Dan Green Guestbook: All the information about how to support or contact Dan Green. Donate, send a letter or card, leave a comment, or call and leave a voicemail. Do what you can.

The man who accused Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of having sex with him when he was a teen now says it isn't so.
The man is now saying his sexual relationship with Clash was adult and consensual.
In response to the statement Tuesday afternoon, Clash issued a statement of his own, saying he is "relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest."
The man, who has not identified himself, released his statement through the Harrisburg, Pa., law firm of Andreozzi & Associates.
On Monday, Sesame Workshop said Clash had taken a leave of absence from "Sesame Street" after allegations came to light that he had had a relationship with a 16-year-old. Clash denied the charges from the man, who is now in his early 20s.

'Pray to God for protection'
To the Editor:
Twenty-seven people, including 20 children, are dead in Newtown, Conn. This headline screams at us from every computer screen and radio station. No shooting has ever come as close to me as this one, in a school attended by one of my relative's children. There are no words that can adequately address the horror of this slaughter, though I am certain that the thoughts and prayers of our entire nation will now be occupied by this senseless tragedy.
Still, we need to do some serious soul-searching; we owe it to the victims and their families. Why do school shootings like this continue to happen? What can we do to better protect the innocent lives of the millions of children who attend school every day? And most importantly, how can we invite God back into our lives and classrooms?
The bottom line is that no number of security guards or metal detectors can ever completely protect us from hatred and violence, and that is why we need to pray to God for protection every day. Sadly, we have driven him from our public schools, and can no longer even utter his name. But children and teachers and parents need to be able to talk about him - now more than ever - and remind one another that he is still in control. After all, it is God who created each one of us, and who stands close to us every day of our lives, whether we acknowledge him or not. He will have been very close to every child and adult who was killed, and has surely received each one of them with open arms.
Knowing this may do little to comfort the heart of a grieving mother, but it is simply a fact: without God, those of us left behind will never find closure, nor the peace we all long for. So let us stop being afraid of God, and turn to embrace him and his message of hope and forgiveness with faith and confidence. And even as we shrink back in fear let us point to the message of the first Christmas angels: "Fear not, for I bring you news of great joy."

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but the new ability to trade soulbound items for 2 hours must also be considered here. If the GM had a beef with the way the roll shook out, and he waited out the 2 hour grace period without requesting a reconsideration of the loot distribution, it's his own fault. He had an opportunity to correct the issue before it got out of hand and passed on it.

Glasslands. We felt enormously compelled to show our good people some deeply felt appreciation. Maybe we went a little too far. We are so in love with our fellow compatriots that we wanted to give The Perfect Gift.
Asbury Park. A goldmine of creepiness. One of the coolest places around. We playing with SWIMM and boy were they a' boomin'. The backstage manager, Hawk, was made us feel good about everything from where to park to how we played.
Our second journey to Binghamton. Mayumi Park and Kady Perry were the most excellent coordinators and hosts we could ask for.
Bowery Electric with our wicked sisters Bad Credit/No Credit. Someone here has found a new calling.
Our third year at the Aputumpu Music Fest. These brain puppets wonder "What do you think about that?"
Our first night in Binghamton. The people of this city are incredible. We were so warmly welcomed and found another satellite base of operations and manifestations.
The Witnesses release Calm Down into the world. The evening at the Collapsible Hole was more than we could have ever wanted, or imagined! Now will always be the only time.
We don't normally post photos of other groups but we'd like to curb the enmity growing between ourselves and Batman the Band. Great set at Lit, guys.
Shea Stadium: For the release of their impeccable record, "The Whole Buffalo", Bad Credit/No Credit invited us to share the bill. What a lady, what a night. We are always overjoyed to share a bill with our brothers and sisters in arms.
One of the most enjoyable evenings we have ever known. It was a goodbye party for an electric and enormously loving man. Mike Visser: Bassist of Pass Kontrol, Head of Springs. A night more overflowing with love and good energy we could not have imagined. Thank you, everyone. This is what it's all about.
NBP didn't really feel like talking about it at Mercury Lounge.
The sad goodbye to the Eternal, Ecstatically Eccentric, Triple Cobra. We were honored to join them in their last Hoo-haa. Our Kitten Berry Crunch brethren shared the eve along with multitudes of ravenous, face-painted, animals. The feast was monumental.
Seth's marriage to Ashleigh!!!! The Kids loved it! We're all married!
929 XPO. A strange place for a strange show. But, be careful, you know, as they say.

The Best!
posted 5 years ago
I have six cats and all love drinking from this fountain. I like that the flow of water can be adjusted and that it helps keep their water cool. Most of all I like that some of the impurities are filtered out of their water. I should also mention that my cats have a tendency to tip over light weight bowls, water and hardwood floors don't mix well. With this fountain I don't have to worry about that happening. As a precaution, I do keep it in a heavy plastic tray as the last fresh flow fountain did begin to leak after it got older.
Pros: Keeps the water cool, filters impurities, adjustable flow
Cons: none

Pricey and Noisy, but seems to keep water fresh.
posted 5 years ago
I got one of these the other day for my 6 cats. We have one older cat who always paws at the water dish until the water moves before drinking from the bowl, so I thought he would really like it. So far, he has shown no interest in it. The thing was very expensive. I really do not like how loud the pump is either. I thought we would be hearing the sound of trickling, instead we have the constant racket of the pump! One of our cats (the biggest one-go figure) is deathly afraid of it. He has started getting brave and going near it, smacking the side and then running off with his fur all puffed up. Out of six cats, I have only seen 2 of them actually drink from it.
Pros: purifies water
Cons: cost, very noisy

Holden Beach and Sunset Beach police officers investigated the following incidents and made the following arrests last week.
All information is taken directly from incident logs and citations.
•Larceny on Ocean Boulevard East; suspect stole victim's concrete stepping stones.
•Larceny at the Winding River Clubhouse beach access; suspect stole victim's Trek mountain bike.
•Vandalism on Ocean Boulevard East; suspect damaged light bulbs and safety latches for gates.
Brunswick County Sheriff's deputies investigated the following incidents last week, which are taken directly from sheriff's office incident reports:
•Larceny on McMilly Road in Shallotte; suspect removed speakers from victim's vehicle.
•Larceny on Lanvale Road in Leland; suspect took victim's vehicle without permission.
•Larceny on Maple Road NW in Ash; suspect took items off victim's trailer.
•Vandalism on Settlers Way in Ocean Isle Beach; suspect broke victim's yard light.
Beginning July 17, Brunswick County will have the first night court in southeastern North Carolina.
Twice a month, from 5-6:30 p.m., Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Ola Lewis will oversee Brunswick County's drug court.
For a defendant to be eligible for drug court, which is a felony drug court, not a first offender drug court, they must be eligible for an intermediate sentencing.
Intermediate sentencing means prison and probation.
Shallotte police made the following arrests and investigated the following incidents last week.
All information is taken directly from police reports.
•Police arrested Phillip Warren Riley, 44, of Hall Street, Shallotte, on charges of defrauding the innkeeper after leaving Chili's without paying for alcohol he consumed.
•Breaking and entering and larceny of money at Bojangles; suspect took $3,100 out of the safe.
Agents with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit made the following arrests last week.
The suspects and their charges, which are taken directly from arrest reports, are:
•Rodney Troy Williams, 39, of 2510 Maco Road, Leland; charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver cocaine, maintaining a dwelling to keep a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
•Melissa Dawn Todd, 23, of 2510 Maco Road, Leland; charged with felony possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
In September 1999, John Paul Counts was sentenced to 30 years in prison for murdering an 18-year-old Shallotte woman in 1994.
But on Friday, July 11, after serving less than nine years of his prison sentence, Counts is scheduled to be paroled.
Counts, 40, pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Amy Frink, and began his sentence in the N.C. Department of Correction on Sept. 14, 1999.
On June 23, 1994, Amy Frink was driving from her home near Shallotte to Cherry Grove, S.C., to visit her sister, but never made it there.
"Mama, I'm gonna be a Martin Luther King. All the other children are afraid to go to Shallotte High School, but I'm gonna go, Mama. I'm gonna go to that school."
Barbara Hewett remembers these historic words her son Reginald spoke more than 40 years ago when he decided to be one of the first black students in the county to integrate at Shallotte High School.
Brunswick County Board of Education member Ray Gilbert may have lost his seat during the primary election in May, but his name will still appear on the ballot for November's general election.
Gilbert filed to run for the board as the Libertarian candidate on July 1.
"After much thought and consideration of options on how to continue to work toward a sound education for all students, I decided to continue as a Libertarian candidate for the Brunswick County Board of Education," Gilbert said in a statement.
Holden Beach's new town hall/police department is on schedule and 40 percent complete, architect Jim Stewart said in an interview Tuesday night after he updated Holden Beach Commissioners.
The $4 million building—triple the size of the previous structure—is scheduled to be completed in January 2009.
Stewart told commissioners during their regularly schedule meeting Tuesday night in the Holden Beach Chapel fellowship hall that construction workers will have all the upper trusses in place by the end of this week.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—There's a stretch of Four Mile Road in Ocean Isle Beach where ATMC wireless customers might lose signal, but ATMC has come up with a solution.
A request for an additional 150-foot wireless tower was presented Tuesday to the Ocean Isle Beach Board of Commissioners along with eight suggested tracts for the tower location.
"They have come to us with this proposal to help all the communities," town administrator Daisy Ivey said.

Why is our government giving so much money away? When did the finacial needs of single women become a federal government responsibility? Why are there so many "programs" in our government for things that have nothing to do with the rules and responsibilities of the federal government? Is it not the responsibility of local governments to tend to their own needs? Freedom requires responsibility. When the government relieves us of our responsibility it is removing our freedoms. Waters listed a large number of "programs" and grants that our federal government has that should never have been something the federal government was involved with. Why do so many think this is the job of the government?
