The Prayer to St. Michael
"Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl throughout the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."
San Miguel Arcángel
"San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestro amparo contra la perversidad y asechanzas del demonio. Reprímale Dios, pedimos suplicantes, y tú Príncipe de la Milicia Celestial, arroja al infierno con el divino poder a Satanás y a los otros espíritus malignos que andan dispersos por el mundo para la perdición de las almas. Amén."
The Vision of Pope Leo XIII
Exactly 33 years to the day prior to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, that is, on October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a remarkable vision. When the aged Pontiff had finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to his office, he composed the above prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere.
When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices – two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:
The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: "I can destroy your Church."
The gentle voice of Our Lord: "You can? Then go ahead and do so."
Satan: "To do so, I need more time and more power."
Our Lord: "How much time? How much power?
Satan: "75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service."
Our Lord: "You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will."
In 1886, Pope Leo XIII decreed that this prayer to St. Michael be said at the end of "low" Mass (not "high", or sung Masses) throughout the universal Church, along with the Salve Regina (Hail, Holy Queen); and the practice of the congregation praying these prayers at the end of Mass continued until about 1970, with the introduction of the new rite of the Mass.
John Paul II and St. Michael
However, at the end of his Angelus Address given in St. Peter's Square, Sunday, April 24, 1994, Pope John Paul II urged Catholics to recite this Prayer to Saint Michael once again:
"The prayer can fortify us for that spiritual battle about which the Letter to the Ephesians speaks [of]: "Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power."(Ephesians 6:10). And to this same battle that the Book of the Apocalypse refers [to], recalling in front of our eyes the image of St. Michael the Archangel (cf. Revelations 12:7). Surely, this scene was very present to Pope Leon XIII, when, at the end of the previous century, he introduced to the entire Church a special prayer to St. Michael: 'St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil… '
"Even if today this prayer is no longer recited at the end of the Eucharistic celebration, I invite all to not forget it, but to recite it in order to obtain help in the battle against the forces of darkness and the spirit of this world."

Abstract—This paper presents a one-stage stereo algorithm that yields 3D planar surface patches directly from matching image patch intensity information. The method allows an arbitrary rotation and translation between the cameras; it is not limited to parallel-axis, narrow-baseline, or vergent geometries. The key to the approach is to match image patches that have positions, shapes, sizes, orientations, and samplings consistent with a hypothesized surface patch and with each other. The match error then reflects only the mismatch of patch contents and not the mismatch of patch geometries or samplings. The algorithm is quantitatively evaluated against ground truth on real images with difficult viewing geometries, and demonstrates an average accuracy of about 1% in estimating surface depths and 10° in estimating surface normals.

This video was originally on YouTube, and it has been the underdog of some of my YouTube videos. Its been such an underdog, that I decided to upload it onto Newgrounds since Newgrounds has its loyal share of users too.
Theres nothing like dancing to music from old NES video games, specifically Super Mario Bros. 3.

Is the euro advantageous? Does it foster European feelings? Europeans on the euro after five years
AbstractThe introduction of the euro as a currency in physical existence in January 2002 was a major step in the European integration process. The purpose of this paper is to explore how a representative selection of 12 000 Europeans across all countries in the euro area view the effects of the euro five years after its introduction. The empirical analysis uses multinomial logistic regressions to explore the responses to two questions from the Flash Eurobarometer survey conducted in September 2006. The first question asked if the adoption of the euro was advantageous overall or not. The second one asked if using the euro had made you personally feel a little more European than before or not.

Sometime in April, when the turquoise waters of the Florida Keys warm to a certain triggering temperature, thousands of prehistoric-looking fish called tarpon appear in schools on the shallow-water flats of Florida Bay. Soon after, they begin an annual circular migration on the Atlantic Ocean side from the middle Keys around Islamorada to Key West and back. Their backs are green.
SheltAir Aviation Services
Long Island Jet Center sold its Farmingdale, N.Y. FBO to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based SheltAir Aviation Services and contracted with SheltAir to operate the company's Islip, Long Island FBO under the SheltAir brand name. Under the agreement, which was scheduled to be finalized on December 1, SheltAir will also help manage Long Island Jet Center at Westhampton Beach, but that FBO won't take on the SheltAir name.
A proposed new airport in Panama City, Fla., has cleared a final hurdle. In a record of decision signed on September 16, the FAA said the proposed new airport meets all applicable environmental and safety guidelines. The plan for the new airport calls for two runways–one 8,400 feet long and another 5,000 feet long–on 4,000 acres 20 miles northwest of Panama City donated by the St. Joe Company. St.
Sheltair Aviation Services (Booth No. 4600) has completed the renovation of its flagship facility at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. In addition to cosmetic improvements such as new interior furnishings and a redesigned customer-service station, the $1.2 million renovation enlarges the business center and flight-planning area. The Quick Turn café, also added as part of the enovation, is expected to open soon.
At Vancouver International Airport, Landmark Aviation added to its FBO inventory with the recent purchase of Executive Aircraft. The new FBO adds 80,000 sq ft of facilities to Landmark's existing Vancouver FBO, which offers 110,000 sq ft of hangars, office and terminal space. Landmark is planning new ramp construction to join the two properties.
SheltAir COO Ed Zwirn told AIN at press time that his company is considering its legal options after the city of Atlanta threw out all bids for a new lease on the FBO at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
In August, Banyan Air Service celebrated a long-awaited groundbreaking ceremony for its 25,000-sq-ft terminal building with an attached 20,000-sq-ft hangar at Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Executive Airport (FXE). Plans for the new terminal were announced last November, but construction had been delayed by a combination of airport ground issues, financing and building permits. The new construction is scheduled for completion in May.
To paraphrase the sentiments on a popular plaque, FBO owners in these changing economic times need the courage to change business practices that need to be changed; the serenity to accept those that cannot be changed; and the wisdom to know the difference.
SheltAir Aviation Services expanded its Florida FBO stable to seven and total count to eight with the acquisition of Sowell Aviation Services at Panama City-Bay County International Airport. The purchase includes 40,000 sq ft of FBO terminal, office and hangar space.
FBO chain SheltAir last month finished building its executive terminal at Isla Grande Executive Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The FBO, which opened for business in San Juan last summer, said the new terminal features "state-of-the-art amenities." In addition to San Juan, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based SheltAir also operates facilities at six airports in Florida, as well as the sole general aviation facility at New York La Guardia Airport.

Kell Brook has vowed to emulate stablemate Carl Froch after watching the Nottingham man become a three-time World champion on Saturday night. Froch took just five rounds to destroy previously unbeaten IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute in front of a sold out Capital FM Arena and the show smashed Sky Sports viewing figures set by Brook when he fought Matthew Hatton in March..
Sheffield sensation Brook faces his toughest test yet when he meets IBF number three Carson Jones in a bout likely to be given official eliminator status by the governing body, and Brook says he has been inspired by The Cobra.
Carls performance on Saturday was just out of this world, said Brook. Afterwards he said it was an all-or-nothing night so to go in there with that pressure and produce a performance like that is incredible.
Brook was ringside with stablemates Darren Barker and Kal Yafai and joined the 9,500 fans in an outburst of joy as Froch followed flurries of punches in the third and fourth rounds to stop the Canadian after 65 seconds of the fifth.
When the referee stepped in to give the count, everyone thought the fight was all over and the noise was unbelievable, said Brook. Carl is the best in Britain without any doubt and a great example to any young fighter. He is an absolute animal in training and totally professional in everything he does. Hes someone I really look up to and lean on ahead of my fights now were in the same team.
I know the size of the task ahead of me on July 7 hes obviously totally confident of coming over here and beating me. But just look at what Carl did to Lucian. He said he was insulted that he thought he could come here and beat him and Carl put him in his place I need to do exactly the same thing because the reward at the end will be a World title shot.
Before the main event there is a stacked undercard led by two European title rematches as Gavin Rees defends his lightweight title against Derry Mathews and Kerry Hope defends the European middleweight title against Greg Proksa. One of Matchroom Sports newest signings Kal Yafai also makes his debut on the undercard.
Tickets for Kell Brook vs. Carson Jones featuring European title rematches between Gavin Rees and Derry Mathews and Kerry Hope and Greg Proksa and Kal Yafais debut are on sale now priced £30, £40, £60, and £100 from the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield box office on 0114 256 5656 and at www.motorpointarenasheffield.com.
VIP packages will be sold exclusively by Matchroom Sport priced £150 on 01277 359900 or at www.matchroomboxing.com. The package includes inner ringside seating (front seven rows), pre-fight party from 5.30pm-8pm with complimentary beer, wine, soft drinks and canapés. (The bar will stay open as a pay bar after 8pm.)

What is Your Management Style – Common Management Interview Question
When you apply for a position in management, you can expect a variety of questions designed to assess your ability to lead a large group of people. Some of these questions are going to be behavioral. Those questions are designed to judge your ability to problem solve. Other questions, however, are simply basic management interview questions that simply want to understand who you are and what you bring to the table.
One of the most common management interview questions is "What is Your Management Style?" It is a simple question that is asked at almost every job interview question. In general, this question is meant to be friendly. Interviewers are curious what your answer is, and whether or not you have an answer at all.
Yet this is also a good opportunity to show that you will be a great manager, by answering this question with a non-answer.
The Best Way to Answer the Question
There are a number of different types of management styles. Here is a good list of some of the management styles you may conform to, and that list is by no means exclusive. You may have your own unique management style as well.
However, when answering this question, it is a good idea to give a "non-answer." Don't answer the question directly. Good managers are willing to adapt to different situations, so your answer to this type of interview question should be:
"I do not conform to a specific management style. I try to adjust my style of management to each situation, since part of my job is to assess both the best way to complete the project efficiently and the style of leadership that works best with current staff dynamics."
If they press you further, then feel free and discuss the management styles you utilize most often, but your first answer to questions about your management techniques should always be that you are willing to change and not stuck with a set technique. You want your interviewer to understand that they are getting someone that isn't rigid in their beliefs. They are getting someone that is thoughtful and analyzes each unique situation for its properties.
Take Away Interview Tips
- Answer interview questions about management styles with your willingness to adapt your solutions to each scenario.

I met Kristen and Michael some time ago and right away, knew I was going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this wedding. Not only are they a super sweet couple, Kristen did such an amazing job at all the details for their ceremony and reception. Kristen's attention to detail came out in this kitchen chic theme as a tribute to Michael, a fantastic chef. Every detail was such a feast for my photographers' eye.
The day started with Kristen getting ready at the Belamar Hotel on Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach. They did a first look at the hotel with family portrait time before heading over to a beautiful intimate ceremony at Library Park in El Segundo. Their reception consisted of a gorgeous sit down dinner at the Tin Roof Bistro, which was held in a wonderful room just off the courtyard. The details at the reception were some of the best things to photograph: a fabulous dessert bar with Krispy Kreme donuts and cupcakes from Hot Cakes Bakes in Culver City. Her favorite book, Pride and Prejudice, had pages strung together like flags decorating the windows. Each table consisted of a beautiful hand made sign with a table number that was important to them as a couple, such as Table 4, which was the date in October that they had their first date. The reply cards were fill in the blank cards which were funny and heartfelt to read. The favors consisted of their guests that sent in recipes and were then distributed back out for everyone to enjoy. Kristen's dad even brought a little bit of Colorado with him by making the bark candle tea light holders for each table. Just beautiful!
It was such an honor to be part of their special day – thank you, Kristen and Michael and congratulations!

Hello, football.
Wisely, college football's opening Thursday night has grown into a bigger event lately, with ESPN scheduling a doubleheader involving one national contender and three other top-40 caliber teams, in addition to a handful of other legitimately interesting games kicking off the season on other channels. Several games, as always early in the season, are throwaway contests against FCS opponents, but overall the lineup presents plenty of opportunities to keep busy from 6 p.m. ET until well past midnight, thanks to USC's trip to Hawaii.
In celebration of the start of college football, allow us to break down the first night of the season, prioritizing what you need to watch by ranking all the games.
1. North Carolina at South Carolina (6 p.m. ET, ESPN)
It goes without saying that no single offensive tackle is capable of totally neutralizing Jadeveon Clowney. SB Nation published a great piece detailing ways coaches plan to try to limit Clowney's effectiveness, but, of course, Clowney is almost always going to make a big play at some point. And even if multiple blockers can somehow contain him, all the extra attention opens things up for guys like Chaz Sutton to make plays. He's capable of dictating the flow of a game like few other defensive linemen we've seen, enough so that it seems like he alone has elevated South Carolina to another plateau.
North Carolina won't take him out of the game, but if nothing else the Tar Heels boast one of the two best left tackles Clowney will face all season: potential first-round draft pick James Hurst (the other being Tennessee's Antonio Richardson), who will have an opportunity to earn himself some NFL money. Clowney aside, North Carolina presents a solid opening-week test for the Gamecocks, who have holes to fill at running back, receiver and especially linebacker. Behind Bryn Renner — who would get honorable mention in the SoE QB Countdown — the Tar Heels ranked 14th in yards per play last season. A visit to Williams-Brice Stadium is obviously a tough nationally televised showcase for Renner, especially in his first game without dynamic RB Giovani Bernard, but UNC has the talent to at least make things interesting in a low-scoring game.
2. Ole Miss at Vanderbilt (9:15 p.m., ESPN)
Under Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss is trying hard to make a leap into the SEC's top tier, cleaning up on the recruiting trail while returning one of the SEC's most experienced rosters. First things first: To be among the SEC's elite, you have to beat Vanderbilt. That's a different task now, though, as Vandy — which gave South Carolina all it could handle on last year's first night — went 9-4, 5-3 in the SEC, and is expected to maintain that competitiveness in James Franklin's third season. While this is the second game in ESPN's doubleheader, it has an undercard feel, especially with much-hyped Ole Miss true freshman defensive end Robert Nkemdiche making his college debut after Clowney finishes up against UNC.
3. Rutgers at Fresno State (10:30 p.m., ESPNU)
Along with Boise State, Rutgers poses one of the two biggest defensive threats to star Fresno State QB Derek Carr (brother of David). The Scarlet Knights can't score, even with talented wideout Brandon Coleman, but their defense ranked eighth in yards per play allowed and should continue to put up great results despite a lot of roster turnover. The game's an interesting gauge for both teams and an important test in seeing if Fresno State, in Tim DeRuyter's second season, has a chance to take down Boise State in the Mountain West and maybe even compete for a BCS bid, and to see if Rutgers QB Gary Nova can test defenses more consistently.
4. USC at Hawaii (11 p.m., CBS Sports Network)
Cody Kessler and Max Wittek will likely both play for the Trojans at quarterback, and it's really an ideal situation for their opener, even if it's on the road halfway across the Pacific. Hawaii, coached by former USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow, was dreadful last year at 3-9 and has similarly bleak prospects in 2013, and a road trip to Honolulu presents a less pressure-filled experience than a marquee opponent or even a home game against a mediocre team for USC. However, for all Hawaii's faults, the Warriors did actually rank 11th nationally against the pass last season, with the help of a solid pass rush, and USC will be playing without starting RB Silas Redd (knee). Still, even if there are some hiccups for USC, Marqise Lee will find a way to do Marqise Lee things, and that's really all the Trojans need against an opponent like this.
5. Tulsa at Bowling Green (7 p.m., ESPNU)
This is one of the best nonconference games between non-AQ teams we'll see all season. Tulsa's offense never stops producing, but the backfield combination of Nebraska transfer QB Cody Green and RBs Trey Watts and Ja'Terian Douglas will be tested by what should be the MAC's best all-around defense, even without former star Falcons DT Chris Jones.
6. Utah State at Utah (8 p.m., Fox Sports 1)
For most of a century, Utah has held the upper hand in the "Battle of Brothers," building a 77-29-4 series lead since their first meeting in 1892, but after a two-year hiatus the Aggies beat the Utes 27-20 in OT last year. This will be their first game without head coach Gary Andersen, who took the Wisconsin job after a breakout 11-2 season, while Utah, behind sophomore QB Travis Wilson, continues to try to adjust to life in the Pac-12. It's not the most glamorous matchup nationally, but at least Fox Sports 1 gets a heated rivalry for its college football debut.
7. UNLV at Minnesota (7 p.m., Big Ten Network)
Now we're starting to reach, even if last year's meeting was an unexpected thriller. You may be forgiven if you forgot that Minnesota actually went to a bowl game, and actually almost beat Texas Tech (a 34-31 loss in the Meineke Car Care Bowl). UNLV has won a total of six games in three seasons under Bobby Hauck, yet Minnesota actually needed three overtimes to win 30-27 in Las Vegas in last year's opener between these two. Both teams should be a little better, but the Golden Gophers, who could be staring at 6-6 again in the regular season, will likely cruise at home with star defensive tackle Ra'Shede Hageman wreaking havoc on an overmatched UNLV O-line..
8. Liberty at Kent State (6 p.m., ESPN3.com)
If nothing else, it's entirely possible that the first play of the 2013 college football season will involve Dri Archer returning a kick for a touchdown.
9. Akron at UCF (7 p.m., ESPN3.com)
Akron went 1-11 in Terry Bowden's first season and has a chance to duplicate that illustrious feat. However, this is at least a matchup between two FBS teams, which you can't say about the rest listed below. Mostly, it's a cakewalk warm-up for a good UCF team that finishes September with Penn State and South Carolina.
10. Presbyterian at Wake Forest, Indiana State at Indiana, Illinois State at Ball State, Southern Utah at South Alabama, Towson at Connecticut, Western Carolina at Middle Tennessee, Jackson State at Tulane, Sacramento State at San Jose State
Aside from the 2013 debut of San Jose State QB David Fales, there's nothing to see here in a bunch of games between FBS and FCS teams. Still, bad football is better than no football, something we no longer have to deal with in 2013.

There are a suite of three posts on ally relationships that were well-received when they first appeared in this space. This week, I will re-run them. This post was originally published Nov. 25, 2009.
[In the following post about allies, I am confining my discussion to anti-racism and feminism because those are the movements with which I am most familiar. I hope, though, that these ideas have broader application.]
[In the following post about allies, I am confining my discussion to anti-racism and feminism because those are the movements with which I am most familiar. I hope, though, that these ideas have broader application.]
Last week, in a post titled When Allies Fail - Part 1, we began a discussion about maintaining alliances in the face of failure.
What does it mean to be allied? The dictionary definition is to be joined in a group to advance common interests or causes. And what does this joining require? I think mutual respect, shared activism and adherence to mutual goals and objectives. Alliances are by nature two-sided affairs. Both sides bear the responsibility of maintaining the relationship. And this isn't easy. I have witnessed too many battles between members of marginalized groups and their professed allies to think otherwise. The disagreements are often raw, emotional and ultimately unsatisfying. Sometimes, I think we expect too much of our allies. Sometimes the privileged are too confident in their roles as allies and too slow to examine their own biases. As enlightened about race or gender a person may be, we are all products of a racist and sexist society. To expect any person, no matter how good-intentioned, to never reveal a racial or gender bias is to invite disappointment. If members of marginalized groups want to work with allies, we have to know that they will fail us sometimes. Our allies have to know that they will fail.
In that post, I tackled the responsibilities of anti-racist and feminist allies. What should an ally do when he or she has made an unwitting show of prejudice or privilege? Today, I want to talk about the responsibilities of marginalized people who want to work with allies. "Responsibilities of marginalized people"...already I am hesitant to speak about allied relationships this way.
First, marginalized people are the owners of the anti-racist and feminist/womanist movements. The outcomes of the movement are about our humanity, our treatment, our futures, our children. Our fight is based not on empathy, but lived reality. Yes, racism and sexism ultimately effect everyone, no matter their race or gender. But, for instance, women involved in the feminist movement feel the urgency for change much more strongly than our male allies. We are more invested, I think. I say this not as a slight against men. It is the rare human being who is not most invested in things that effect them directly.

Extremely Happy with my New Nose - Vancouver, BC
I cannot thank Dr. Buonassisi enough for my surgery. He has done an incredible job. From the first consultation, he answered all my questions and was realistic in what he can do. He listened to my concerns and made sure I was going to be happy with the results which showed he really cares about his patients. He loves what he does and he is an expert in his field and it shows when you meet him. The day of my surgery at the Delbrook Surgical Centre, I was a bit nervous about the procedure, but the nurses were extremely sweet and caring throughout the whole process and Dr. Buonassisi came to talk to me to see if I had any questions or concerns before the surgery. Both the doctor and nurses made me feel at ease and made the whole experience more enjoyable. As for my results, it has only been two weeks since the surgery and I am extremely happy. There is hardly any bruising and I can't wait to see the final results in a couple of months. I would recommend Dr. Buonassisi to anyone looking to get rhinoplasty.

The Girl That USE TO Have a Big Broken Nose - Vancouver, BC
Dr.Buonassisi is a one in a million when it comes to incredible doctors that actually genuinely care about their patients. He listens to all your concerns and will leave no question unanswered unlike most doctors who rush you. He is honest and extremely talented at what he does. His credentials are amazing, and when it comes to putting your face into the hands of a doctor; look no further and just book with Dr.Buonassisi. He has so much experience, and truly delivers incredible results with each client he has. Just check out his website and you will see pictures galore of amazing results! But in all honesty he is a great man that is passionate about his work and it shows. I am forever grateful for the work that this man did for me, and I would not waste my time on writing a review unless the doctor was incredible, and to sum this doctor up in one word-he is incredible.

After 4 Years of Twiddling my Thumbs, I Did It! - Vancouver, BC
Dr. Buonassisi is professional, sharp and precise. I chose him because three of my friends have had rhinoplasty with him, and his reviews are the best in the city. I am happy with my choice so far, and I recommend him to anyone who's looking for a surgeon in Vancouver.

Definitely Worth It! - Vancouver, BC
I would highly recommend Dr. Buonassisi to anyone considering rhinoplasty . He is very sincere, knowledgeable, professional, and more importantly, listens to what you want and tells you what he believes will be realistic or not. I have gone to consultations with other plastic surgeons and Dr. Buonassisi is by far the most personable – he spent over an hour with me listening, explaining, and showing pictures and doing the computer imaging to make sure that all my questions are answered. His staffs were also excellent! Mandy spent another hour to explain the procedure and reassured and assisted me throughout the process. Dr. Buonassisi also called the morning after the surgery to see how I was doing and saw me 7 days and 2 months since surgery. At both appointments, he also made sure to listen to any question or concern I had and was very easy to talk to. All in all, I thought that my overall experience was very comfortable, and I would say this procedure was definitely worth it! The surgery and recovery was not as intense as I thought it would be and most importantly I'm really satisfied with my results so far!

It Is Never Too Late to Rhino! - Vancouver, BC
I have had a great experience with Dr Buonassisi and his team for my Rhino/septoplasty. The surgery took place on June 25 at Delbrook Surgery Clinic and I cant say enough about the support staff there.. I am excited to see the results and know the rest of the journey is in good hands with Dr Buonassisi and his team.

4 pensamientos sobre "(English) Golf holidays on the Costa del Sol"
Awesome place for enjoying vocational holidays..
I like to plan my holidays to a certain destination after acquiring information about it. As gaining information is always of great help whether you are going alone or with your family. Reading this blog was really helpful because when I made a visit to Spain, I found that the information provided in this blog is not just for making promotions but availing visitors with reliable information.

West County official asked to step down over racial remarks
West County Wastewater District Director Leonard Battaglia is one for the books. In this case, history books. Literally. Battaglia, 85, who has served as an agency director since 1975, opened up in a newspaper article last weekend and promptly inserted his foot squarely into his own mouth. After nearly 40 years in office, the sewer system […] [Read More]
Yes, that's an 8th grader telling Oakland officials how to behave
From the mouths of babes. The Oakland Public Ethics Commission has unintentionally created a powerful video featuring an 8th grade girl schooling the members of the Oakland City Council on the rules of conduct in public office. "The intent of the video is to build awareness around something that doesn't get real air time," […] [Read More]
Tired of reading about Oakland's bad news? Here's a laugh
With tongue firmly connected to cheek, Oakland Unseen, a farcical newspaper cast in the image of "The Onion," will hit the streets of the city at this week's First Friday festival in downtown Oakland. Locals dressed as 1920s street vendors will hand out free copies of the newspaper in hopes of creating a buzz, […] [Read More]

His name has been thrown around as a possible contender to star in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie before, but after seeing this new trailer starring Zac Efron as Christian Grey, cougars fans like me who appreciate the hotness that is Zac Efron will agree that we're in for a real treat if he does snag the part.
This new trailer, which is one of many unofficial Fifty Shades videos out there at the time being, gives us a brief glimpse of Zac's buff bod rolling around between the sheets (ooh-la-la), proving that he fits the bill as far as Christian's physical appearance goes even though he's a bit younger than Grey is depicted in the book. (You can't put an age on those sexy biceps.)
But if Zac Efron does wind up being cast, he's going to need a hot counterpart to play Anastasia Steele, which is why the actress cast in this particular video is a little bit puzzling.
Take a look at the clip to see someone we haven't heard yet as a possible Ana. Hint -- she's a blond.
Kirsten Dunst? As Anastasia Steele? Huh. Out of all of the possibilities out there, I never would've thought of Kirsten as an option. (And not just because of the hair thing.)
I mean, she's not exactly Hollywood's "it" girl right now, but maybe that's what Celebrity Dirty Laundry was going for by casting her in the part? And maybe changing things up a bit in the movie and making Ana a blond instead of a mousy brunette isn't such a bad idea. The lighter locks would definitely sex her character up and make her a bit more edgy -- which would help fans separate the book from the film. (It could work, right?)
What do you think about Zac and Kristen as a potential Christian and Ana?
Image via Pacific Coast News
No. Absolutely not.
so you are saying that you have to be blond to have added sex appeal and to be edgy? I think considering how many blondes there are in the world today, brunette is becoming the edgy color! And definitely a big hell no to both actors. Zac is to young and just ugh and Kirsten, I can't stand her and will always just see her as Torrence in Bring it On
NO NO NO on Efron and Dunst! Zac is FAR from sexy enough and Dunst, along with being a terrible actress, has the wrong hair color. Yes, they could color it brown but there are so many better candidates! Dunst is FAR from being the knock out gorgeous Anastasia.
I hope this is a joke.
P.S. Here is a contradictory story just posted. http://www.wetpaint.com/network/articles/fifty-shades-of-grey-casting-ryan-gosling-to-play-christian-says-authors-husband
MUCH better choice!

Desiree should have known better than to bet her man he couldn't score on her net. Dude got three easy kicks past her, so this latina skank just had to put out. She flashed her big tits in public, then ran home to enjoy a nasty fuck with her man.
This guy sent us a tape of him and his gf getting it on down by the water. That amateur slut rubbed her tight Latina pussy for him and then gave him an outdoor blowjob. He fucked her until she came hard and then gave her a big facial cumshot!

Top Ten Online Viral Video Ads of 2008
Yesterday, The Feed Company released its list of the top ten online viral video ads for 2008.
"You have a lot of younger creatives at the ad agencies who have grown up on the Web who don't think in terms oftraditional60-second spots anymore. Our Top 10 shows that this new type of creative – less brand, more entertainment – is finding bigger and bigger audiences online." – said Josh Warner, President, Feed Company
Here's the criteria Feed Company used forselectingtheTop 10 Viral Video Ads of 2008.
- Essential viability – all the picks from Levi's "Guys Backflip into Jeans" to brand Obama "Yes We Can" to are infinitely shareable and possessed incredibly high number of views, favoritism, and comments.
- Centered around a big concept – all the picks were centered by simple, big creative concepts that were extremely well executed – traveling around the world to share a dance, a collage style music video inspired by Obama's acceptance speech following the New Hampshire primary, a ball girl scaling a baseball field wall to communicate Gatorade's re-hydrating powers
- Breadth of executions – we wanted to reflect the breadth of executions that are finding big audiences online – from the "faux" viral – Bike Hero – to the controversial and highly stylized – Diesel- to the celebrity driven – Kobe Bryant.
