Actually the humor in Rango is not appropriate for small children! Also don't understand why it is getting so much praise for 38 million when Just Go With It opened at 31 million and was blasted – like it wasn't a good box office! Gas prices were $3.50 4 weeks ago too! Personally, I get tired of downing some actors and praising others – need to be fair! Adam and Jen need their kudos too! I am happy for Johnny! Rango is awesome however for a romantic comedy so is Just Go With It! Jen and Adam have amazing chemistry! Jen and Nicole scenes are so real to college life and the female way! They were great together. Both movies are a must see!!!!!
RANGO has a Kudo in animation section with name " AyeTut,Lin "

Who will care for allistic children when they become allistic adults
I mean god, look at all the horrible things allistic children do when they grow up, esp to autistic folks.
omg this is why we need to cure all those poor allistic children of their allism before they reproduce and make more allistics!!!
Oh god we can't allow that. That's far too many people making disturbing eye contact and touching people without permission. Allistic behaviors are just a problem.
(Source: punwitch, via kittensandscience)
today we were talking about autistic people having inclination towards special interests. I realized mine are pop culture and BDSM
like I never stop talking about that. and it is related to everything i think. like i have to make a conscious effort not to talk about random facts about movies/shows/music or how i like really kinky stuff. it is really difficult for me to center things around stuff other than that (or like privilege dynamics and queer theory). idk
One of my special interests is sex. This tends to make my life awkward. (No, I am not kidding.)
(Source: formerlymomdiggity, via thevitaes)
News Flash!
Cause I'm tired of seeing this. Being autistic doesn't mean you are transgender or lgbt. Being transgender or lgbt does not mean you are autistic. Autism and gender/sexual identity are two different things.
People are saying that? O_O
Hang on, people are saying that? o.O

Has anyone done "Autism Pick Up Lines"?
It seems like someone would have by now.
Things like "You're my special interest". I dunno.
It might be fun.
"Hey. Wanna stim together?"
"You make me go non-verbal."

Baron Cohen
Oh, I love the bullshit that is Baron Cohen.
Aim- to investigate if Autistic adutls lack advanced theory of mind skills
Yup, because I don't know that you have a mind. And can think for yourself. Just like animals.
Method - Each participant was presented with the Eyes task, Heppe's strange stories and two control tasks (Gender recognition and basic emotion recognition) in a random order.
Ah, the eyes task. Checking to see if we recognize the emotion in a pair of eyes. So because I can't recognize the emotion that you're giving in a pair of eyes….that means I lack theory of mind? That I don't have the ability to know that you are thinking and thinking differently than me?
- A key part of Autism is that they lack theory of mind.
Appara-fucking-ly so! I guess that means I'm a big, dumb animal who doesn't know other human beings have the ability to have independent thoughts! All because I would have missed, on average, 4 cards more than your average human being! I lack theory of mind! Well, isn't this a straightforward answer and not a huge logical leap!/sarcasmalltheway
- Small sample
- Low ratio of females
- Lab experiment
- Ecological validity
You forgot "Sexism" and "Logical leaps so high Superman couldn't make them".
OP, are you aware the not only is Simon Baron-Cohen rife with bigotry, he's also a bullshit scientists. Have you read his academic journals? Because I have. They're the biggest heap of self-referential crap, and I do mean that. Among the citations for his studies were other scholarly journals WRITTEN BY HIMSELF. His studies are garbage, as illustrated by the study you posted.
So basically, get this fuckery away from me.
Citing yourself is fairly common practice in science. Like, you build up your project one step at a time, publish along the way, cite the previous papers with each new one.
As long as you're doing legit science, there's nothing wrong with it. It's when you're making stuff up that things start going wrong.
The idea that we lack a theory of mind is the biggest bullshit I've ever heard. Especially when it's established by testing us with some weird stuff that only shows we perceive things differently from allistic people and as though we're incapable of communicating our thoughts and ideas. Wondering if we have a theory of mind? How about asking us? FFS.

Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical
"What Is NT?
Neurotypical syndrome is a neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity.
Neurotypical individuals often assume that their experience of the world is either the only one, or the only correct one. NTs find it difficult to be alone. NTs are often intolerant of seemingly minor differences in others. When in groups NTs are socially and behaviorally rigid, and frequently insist upon the performance of dysfunctional, destructive, and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaining group identity. NTs find it difficult to communicate directly, and have a much higher incidence of lying as compared to persons on the autistic spectrum.
NT is believed to be genetic in origin. Autopsies have shown the brain of the neurotypical is typically smaller than that of an autistic individual and may have overdeveloped areas related to social behavior.
How Common Is It?
Tragically, as many as 9625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical.
Are There Any Treatments For NT?
There is no known cure for Neurotypical Syndrome.
However, many NTs have learned to compensate for their disabilities and interact normally with autistic persons.
Could I be NT?
Take the Online NT Screening Test.

About This Site
This site is an expression of autistic outrage.
About a year ago I learned I was on the autistic spectrum. Inspired by this discovery, I read everything I could get my hands on about the autistic spectrum. Much of it makes sense— for the first time in 41 years, I had a description, albiet an unexpected one, that fit me.
But a lot of what I've found out there, mostly written by "experts" and "professionals", has been arrogant, insulting, and just plain wrong. My bête noire of the moment is finding my emotions described as "flat". As someone with considerably greater expertise in my emotions than the "experts", I can state unequivocally that my emotions are not "flat". They are different, yes, but they are most certainly not "flat."
Perhaps tomorrow I'll be fired up over being described as "lacking empathy". Or I'll be outraged at an exceptionally clueless "training" method being inflicted upon autistic kids. Or maybe it will be some new paper written by some "expert" from the perspective that neurotypical perception is correct, and my brain is a genetic mistake.
My brain is a jewel. I am in awe of the mind that I have. I and my experience of life is not inferior, and may be superior, to the NT experience of life.
Hence, this "Institute". Persons on the autistic spectrum and NT supporters are invited to submit papers to the Institute, and to share your observations in "Current Research" (the guestbook)."
This is just beautiful.
I love this so much.

That awkward moment when you want to talk to your friend and realise you're non-verbal right now.
Oh, life, you are so challenging.
Thank goodness for things like computers and texting so I can still communicate. Though admittedly I do pretty well with non-verbal, too. :-)

The most disgusting thing about this is that there are people out there who think this is acceptable. That people with autism aren't people at all, and can have their lives stolen willy-nilly. Fuck.

Here comes another grandiose misconception. Autistic self-advocates, with some exceptions, are not people who "don't see autism as a disability." If you don't believe me, read closely the following sentences:
1.) I am Autistic.
2.) I am a self-advocate.
3.) I believe autism is a disability.
If you didn't catch that, please scroll up a little and read that again.
I do believe that disability is entirely defined by society, but because of our society and our history, yes, being Autistic means that I am disabled. All Autistic people are disabled. Some Autistic people might be more disabled than other Autistic people, but if you are Autistic, you are automatically disabled."

Awareness is not the same as acceptance. This "awareness" campaign is not something we asked for, nor do we want. "Awareness," as interpreted by A$ and Light it up Blue, makes things much more dangerous for us. Are you aware that whole campaign yesterday was led by the organization which released a video in which their then-Vice President said she wanted to kill herself and her Autistic child, IN FRONT OF HER CHILD? What do you think happens when organizations which are supposed to be leaders in the "autism community" make statements like that to parents? Or release video after video about how autism will destroy their lives?
Another example. In 1996 Charles-Antoine Blais was drowned by his mother, Danielle. The Quebec Autism Society rallied to her defense, holding demonstrations and protests. Parents, like the ones in yesterday's awareness campaign, showered Blais with letters of support. About how understandable it was to want to murder your Autistic child, because they're such a burden, and autism is so terrible.
She got off with community service, and then was hired to work with parents of Autistic kids, because she was such a great role model for parents.
This is what your fearmongering brings, your 1 in 88, your "more children than cancer, AIDS, and diabetes combined." Your "awareness" of what a terrible epidemic this is, and posturing us as diseased, broken, unwanted burdens. You create this climate that we have to live in.
And you won't stop no matter how many of us tell you it's killing us.

Please don't wear blue tomorrow.
I don't care if your favorite shirt is blue. I don't care if you love blue so much you bathe in blueberries every night.
Don't wear blue.
If you can, please wear orange, but if that's not plausible, ANYTHING BUT BLUE.
Because fuck Autism Speaks.
Pink, I think…
No worries. Autism Speaks needs to STFU.
Well, unless the OP wants to paypal me some money to buy a new pair of pants tomorrow, I will be wearing blue because the only pants I own are jeans. Wait, even that wouldn't work, because I would have to wear the jeans to go buy non-blue jeans. What about people whose work or school uniforms are blue? Should they just stay home? Give me a break.
Look, I hate Autism Speaks, but the OP needs to STFU, too.
Look, I realise you're probably not intending to be a dick but you're being a dick. Jeans are not the sort of blue AS had in mind as you might have picked up from the context of the OP talking about a blue shirt and not blue jeans. Blue jeans are dead common and don't really convey much meaning beyond the wearer wants to wear jeans. But get down with your righteous anger and derailing from the point if you really do want to be a dick about it. But if you do, just do me a favour and unfollow my autie arse, okay?
Before you ask me why you shouldn't support Autism Speaks
- Scroll down my blog
- No seriously just scroll down I have posted every single link I could find
- If that fails scroll down again
- Google it your goddamn self I'm not a search engine
Have a nice day
Yeah, um, same thing for me. I even have a nifty little link on the side entitled "Why I Am Against Autism Speaks". Look, there, I've even linked it for you!
There you are everyone!
Any more questions on why not to support Autism Speaks?

Soulja Boy has never been one to shy away from a trend, and this week he's cashing in on two at once with a new single entitled, "Twerkin Like Miley."
Released late last night complete with artwork featuring the former Hannah Montana star, "Twerkin Like Miley" kicks off with 15 seconds of shoutouts before transitioning into a bass-heavy track meant for twerk fanatics. The production leaves a bit to be desired, but seeing as the song is intended for a future mixtape release, it's no surprise it's a bit below studio grade. Still, if you're looking for something to make you want to clap (whatever part of your body you desire), this will do just fine. You can stream the track at the end of this post.
Hip-hop has fallen in love with Miley Cyrus this summer, and "Twerkin Like Miley" is only the latest in a slew of songs to reference the young starlet. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on Soulja Boy's latest. Continue reading 'Soulja Boy Releases "Twerkin Like Miley"'

Move Networks new CEO on monetizing Internet video
Industry News
Briefing Room
Two-year-old Move Networks is following an ambitious plan to move the telecom industry toward business models that finally monetize so-called over-the-top Internet content rather than let it cannibalize video subscriptions. The companys downloadable media player authenticates existing video subscribers and allows them to watch some content online. But the companys new chief executive officer, Roxanne Austin (the former chief operating officer of DirecTV) says service providers can go further than the free online models discussed today, ultimately turning Internet video into new incremental revenue streams.
On the evolution of Internet video business models: Were at a unique time. Were finally talking about getting paid for content on the Internet. Its one of the reasons I came [to Move] at this stage. Weve been talking in this industry for a long time about video on the Internet, in phases. We went from, its all going to be free to its going to be user-generated content to its going to be professional content paid for by advertising. Now people are saying theres going to be video everywhere, but the ad model alone doesnt work; somebodys got to pay for it. The model you see now is the first step. Were taking a [video on demand (VOD)] model and allowing people who have a subscription today on a paid service to watch content [online]. That will evolve to [include] not just a list of VOD. If I were DirecTV or Comcast or whoever, if I could truly broadcast over the Internet my full TV lineup, I think people might be willing to pay for it and not just pay for a subscription.
On adding incremental over-the-top (OTT) revenue to TV subscriptions: We have the ability to broadcast through the Internet, encode [content] once, and people can watch it on their TV, their PC or their phone. I think people will be willing to pay for our service [in addition to cable TV subscriptions]. Were at the first stage of this. The conversations were having today we werent having a year ago. The conversation today is: If you have a paid subscription, you get to watch [free content online]. Thats a great first step, but its not the end game because people wont produce content unless they get paid for it. At the end of the day, theres a win-win for everybody. As a consumer, if I could get on my computer and stay connected to my DirecTV service anywhere I went, Id be thrilled. We can also do enhanced ad insertion, so we can increase ad revenue. We also have a lot of data on whos watching what.
On ESPNs online subscription model: ESPN is a clear example of where subscriptions work. Thats a single-channel subscription. We provide that service. If you have a highly desirable selection of content that people cant get today, [people will pay extra for it]. You cant go on your computer today and pull up a channel guide and pick from 80 or 100 channels. And you cant have a built-in DVR on it and you cant have perfect HDTV-like quality that starts immediately with no buffering [like Move offers].
On why content providers still need cable providers and IPTV providers: The big S: subscriptions. In 2008, DirecTV, EchoStar, Comcast and Time Warner Cable alone paid [a combined] $22 billion for content. You cant walk away from that.

BELLAWOOD 3/4" x 5" Sienna Cherry

Best Uses
In planning for our new hardwood floor, I wanted to add an accent border to really make the floor stand out - the Sienna Cherry did the trick with my Brazilian Koa field. It came out BEAUTIFUL and the border truly does make a difference.
I think for many, the Sienna Cherry would be too dark for an entire room, but it works amazingly well as an accent.
Installation suggestion: Buy a groove bit for your router - a $60 bit will save you lots of money in waste!
Service and delivery comments:
Even though I'm no stranger to lifting and doing heavy work, I found myself sort of wishing I sprung for the extra $$ as I was halfway through bringing in 24 boxes. After moving 21 boxes of Brazilian Koa (at 80# per box), these 70# boxes were a joy to move (sarcasm intended).

Competing for Customers in a Social Network (R)
AbstractThere are many situations in which a customer's proclivity to buy the product of any firm depends not only on the classical attributes of the product such as its price and quality, but also on who else is buying the same product. Under quite general circumstances, it turns out that customers' influence on each other dynamically converges to a steady state. Thus we can model these situations as games in which firms compete for customers located in a "social network." A canonical example is provided by competition for advertisement on the web. Nash Equilibrium (NE) in pure strategies exist in general. In the quasi-linear version of the model, NE turn out to be unique and can be precisely characterized. If there are no a priori biases between customers and firms, then there is a cut-off level above which high cost firms are blockaded at an NE, while the rest compete uniformly throughout the network. Otherwise there is a tendency towards regionalization, with firms dominating disjoint territories. We also explore the relation between the connectivity of a customer and the money firms spend on him. This relation becomes particularly transparent when externalities are dominant: NE can be characterized in terms of the invariant measures on the recurrent classes of the Markov chain underlying the social network. Finally we consider convex (instead of linear) cost functions for the firms. Here NE need not be unique as we show via an example. But uniqueness is restored if there is enough competition between firms or if their valations of clients are anonymous.

Many small and medium-sized businesses lack the resources to do a thorough evaluation of all the products and services they have to choose from in order to attain a certain goal. Given this, a common solution they adopt is to use programs from a company with which they are already familiar, particularly when that company is an industry leader in certain domains.
Microsoft SharePoint is a case in point. Since Microsoft Office is already so ubiquitous, some organizations assume that they should adopt a Microsoft solution for their needs when it comes to collaborative online software. This may indeed be the best solution, but short of investigating competing solutions separately, a firm cannot know that for certain.
An IT consulting firm, however, can. Such firms specialize in mastering the entire range of IT solutions businesses can employ to overcome challenges related to their use of information technology.
SharePoint may not be the solution that makes the most sense for some businesses. It is a costly and complex software tool that is well worth the outlay if businesses are likely to harness most of its features. If only one or two SharePoint features are going to be implemented, however, it makes little sense to license such an expensive program. For example, while SharePoint can provide search and indexing services for documents, if this is the only function of it that a business needs, they may be far better off installing a third-party program or relying on features inherent in the Windows OS itself.
IT consultants are invaluable in that they can offer cost-effective suggestions like these.

I bought this perfume for my mother last year as a new signature fragrance. She absolutely ADORED it and soon gave up wearing her previous fragrance, CK Euphoria, and wore this one every day. This is now her second 90ml bottle that I have bought for her. It's a gorgeous fragrance, very beautiful and feminine, and works in both Summer or Winter (although I think Winter is best). I believe it could be worn by women of all ages.

Cinema on me is sweet, powdery, fairly pleasant, and inoffensive.It makes me think of trying to drink fresh orange juice whilst my mouth is full of dolly mixture sweets,(not that I've tried.) After a while it fades to a powdery blossom scent with the smell of dolly mixture sweets and candied orange peel lingering in the distance. I quite like it but I don't love it, which I was hoping I would from the reviews I've read. So far my husband hasn't made any negative remarks about Cinema, and he only likes Dolce Vita on me. From reading about the perfume notes in Cinema I wondered if it might be similar in nature to Dolce Vita, but it's completely different. I have to say I won't be buying another bottle though, and I'll only be using it occasionally.

COQUITLAM, B.C. -- She doesn't have a Facebook page and she doesn't Tweet. And rather than go to the mall with her friends, she'd rather be on the golf course, all day, every day.
Doesn't sound like your typical 14-year-old, but then, Brooke Henderson is anything but typical. While most of her friends are winding up their summer vacations, perhaps heading to the store to pick up some school supplies, Henderson is getting ready to tee it up in the CN Canadian Women's Open. When she hits her opening shot, she'll become the youngest player in the event's history.
Not since Sandra Post was tearing up the women's ranks, first as an amateur and then later as a teenaged pro where she won the LPGA Championship, has Canada had so much discussion about a young golfer.
Henderson deserves the conversation. She is nothing short of remarkable and her list of achievements in her brief career is stunning: she won the Ontario junior title for the second straight year, the Canadian Junior crown, played in the British Amateur, making it to the match play portion, and won an event on the CN Canadian Women's Tour, defeating a field of elite amateurs and seasoned professionals. It's that last victory that earned her a spot in this week's field.
Yes, it's been quite a year for Henderson, who will head to Grade 10 in a few weeks.
"I don't know," she said when asked what she'd be doing if she wasn't here. "I'm just thankful and blessed to be here and really looking forward to the week."
Team Canada head coach Tristan Mullally praised Henderson's work over the year and said that she's far beyond her years in her mental approach, something that's allowed her to excel at higher levels. She's not afraid to analyze her game and spot weak points, working to improve them.
Despite the young age, Henderson appears calm and relaxed this week, flashing a smile at every turn. She's well-spoken, polite and doesn't appear out of place among the top women golfers in the world - even if they happen to be her idol, Morgan Pressel.
"She introduced herself to me on the range [on Wednesday] and said I had a pretty good swing," Henderson gushed. "I definitely really liked that. Hopefully I'll get to play with her in the years to come."
Her story is getting around the locker room and the professionals are as impressed with the talent as anyone.
"How good was I when I was 14? Probably not good enough to be playing in the CN Canadian Women's Open," said Lorie Kane, obviously impressed with her fellow Canadian.
"To see someone like that coming through the ranks is pretty neat," added American star Paula Creamer, who was hoping to see Henderson play at some point. "It's inspiring to know that you can kind of help out too. You never know what will happen."
The fans at the Vancouver Golf Club have been taking notice too and that's meant something new for Henderson – autographs. She said while she's has been signing every program and pin flag handed her way, she will have to consider her penmanship in the days to come as her style at the moment is pretty basic.
"Just a proper name for now, " she said, "but I'll have to look into a cool one."
There is a lot to consider down the road for Henderson, who said her goal is to go to the University of Florida on a scholarship and then have a career on the LPGA Tour. But that's a ways off.
For this week, Henderson said she is focused on hitting the proper golf shots and not much more. There is a game plan in place for the teenager and it's about executing it. No one would be surprised if she made the cut here – after all, this is a woman who is all about surprises in golf.

RIP Arturo!
Former boxing champ Gatti found dead in BrazilAssociated Press
Updated: July 11, 2009, 5:32 PM EDT
SAO PAULO (AP) - Officials say former world boxing champion Arturo Gatti has been found dead in a hotel room in northeastern Brazil.
Arturo Gatti was 40-9 with 31 KOs in his career. (Al Bello / Getty Images)
A spokeswoman for the public safety department of Pernambuco state says the body of the former junior welterweight champ was discovered on Saturday morning in the posh seaside resort of Porto de Galinhas, where he arrived on Friday with his wife and one-year-old son.
She said it was unclear how the 37-year-old Canadian died.
"There were no bullet or stab wounds on his body, but police did find blood stains on the floor," she said, adding that his wife and son were unhurt.
The spokeswoman, who did not provide further details, declined to be identified because she was not authorized to comment on the case.
Gatti retired in 2007.
RIP Arturo!
good memories of him, real tough SOB
rip always loved him
So sad. His fights with Irish Mickey were a sight to behold.
My favorite fighter ever!...damn..
Not the most talented but this guy had the heart of a lion...would keep throwing for the knockout and never say die.
Last of a dying breed and a true to life Rocky story..
RIP Jersey's own Thunder Gatti..there will never be another fighter like you
Foul play suspected in Gatti's death
SAO PAULO -- Former boxing champion Arturo Gatti, one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, was found dead in a hotel room in the posh seaside resort of Porto de Galihnas early Saturday.
Police investigator Edilson Alves told The Associated Press that the body of the former junior welterweight champ was discovered in his hotel room at the tourist resort, where Gatti had arrived on Friday with his Brazilian wife Amanda and 1-year-old son.
Alves said police were investigating and it was unclear how the 37-year-old Canadian died. Foul play is suspected in the death, the CBC reported.
"It is still too early to say anything concrete, although it is all very strange," Alves said.
A spokeswoman for the state public safety department said Gatti's wife and son were unhurt. The women declined to give a name in keeping with department policy.
"There were no bullet or stab wounds on his body, but police did find blood stains on the floor," she said.
Brazilian boxer and four-time world champion Acelino "Popo" Freitas told the G1 Web site of Brazil's largest television network Globo that he was a close friend of Gatti and his wife, and that he "knew they were having some sort of problem and were about to separate, but I didn't know they were in Brazil."
Francisco Assis, a local police investigator, told G1 that Gatti could have died up to eight hours before his body was found early Saturday.
Gatti (40-9, 31 KOs), nicknamed "Thunder", was best known for his all-action style, which was epitomized in his classic trilogy with Micky Ward in 2002 and 2003.
It's why Gatti was a fixture at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., where he drew huge crowds and fought many times, including the final nine fights of his career.
"His entire boxing career he fought with us, we've known him since he was 17," Kathy Duva of promoter Main Events told The Associated Press. "It's just an unspeakable tragedy. I can't even find words. It's a horror."
He won two world titles in his 16-year pro career. In 1995, he won his first one, outpointing Tracy Harris Patterson to claim the IBF junior lightweight title.
In his first fight after the Ward trilogy -- which Gatti won 2-1 -- he captured a world title in his second division, outpointing Gianluca Branco for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title in January 2004.
Gatti made two defenses before losing the title to Floyd Mayweather Jr. via sixth-round TKO in June 2005. He returned to defeat Thomas Damgaard but lost his final two bouts, a ninth-round TKO in a challenge to then-welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir in July 2006 followed by a one-sided beating from former "Contender" star Alfonso Gomez in July 2007.
In the dressing room following the seventh-round knockout loss to Gomez, Gatti announced his retirement.
Neumann said it was tough for him to end that fight, simply because of Gatti's incredible ability to come back in fights.
"I couldn't stop that fight, simply because he was Arturo Gatti," referee Randy Neumann said. "He was much more dignified to go out that way. He had to be counted out. When he fought, you never knew if he could come back. He looked beaten and still came back."
More than his titles, Gatti will be remembered for the slugfests. He was half of the Ring magazine fight of the year four times for two the Ward fights as well as his 1997 fifth-round knockout of Gabriel Ruelas to retain the junior lightweight title and a 1998 decision loss to Ivan Robinson.
With that loss, Gatti acknowledged the end of all his travails and triumphs.
"I remember walking away from his last fight, and somebody walked up to him in the casino late at night and congratulated him," Duva said. "And he said, 'Why did he congratulate me?' And I said, 'He was excited to meet you.' And he kind of looked very surprised by that.
"He had no idea what an icon he was or how much he meant to people."
Gatti had two memorable battles with Robinson as well as dramatic fights with Wilson Rodriguez, Angel Manfredy and Calvin Grove -- all before the trilogy with Ward that defined his career.
Gatti was a staple of HBO's boxing broadcasts, appearing on the network 21 times.
"HBO Sports is tremendously saddened by the passing of Arturo Gatti," HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said. "He was one of the legendary warriors in boxing, and his three epic battles with Micky Ward will live on in the sport's rich history. All of us at HBO Sports will miss his warm and friendly presence, and our deepest sympathy goes out to his manager Pat Lynch, promoter Main Events, led by Kathy Duva, and the entire Arturo Gatti family. Boxing has lost a great and humble man."
Gatti had been working in real estate in Montreal following his retirement, but still attended fights, as he did in April for the Timothy Bradley-Kendall Holt junior welterweight unification bout at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
Saw him fight at Boardwalk Hall against Leija and Damgaard was going to go see him fight Mayweather but unfortunately those tickets sold out in 5 minutes and I was in the middle of class. Good fighter even better entertainer. I always felt like he was content with a loss as long as he put on a good show for his fans.
as a boxer in training, i mourn his death.
Geez. If I was an athlete, I would lock myself in a room for the forseeable future. They are dropping like flies.
I believe arturo is in Fight Night round 4. Im bout to woop sombodys ass with him right now!!

wow, now theres gotta be a movie made
just wanted to share my brief encounter with Gatti. I ran into him at the VIP room of Crowbar in Manhattan 4 or 5 years ago. he was with a ridiculously hot chick. i didn't want to bug him but i was a little drunk and he was right next to me at the bar so i couldn't resist turning to him and telling him he was the man, i'm a huge fan etc. i think he actually didn't mind cause the girl was loving seeing the adulation. he was nice as hell. gave me a big half-hug/pound thing and bought my drink. i normally never do that sht but that was exactly what you would hope happens if you do do that sht. guy was just nice as hell, class act, and as we all know a warrior.
damn better watch out for ur wifes and girlfriends. first mcNair, now gotti.wtf iam scared to sleep at night now lol...his wife bashed him over the head,then strangled him with her purse stapes' women are going crazy..

Saltford Court
Saltford Avenue, Manchester, North West, M4 6EL
Saltford Court is a tower block in Ancoats which has sat empty for 18 years. It is a 13 storey building built in the 1960s but has remained abandoned and unused since Manchester Council closed it in the 1990s. Developer Urban Splash purchased the building in 2006 but they have failed to do anything with the building since then. Currently it is covered in metal sheeting at ground level and is blighted by broken windows and hundreds of pigeons. In a recent article in the MEN a local resident said: "The flats are filthy and just a pigeon loft. It's nothing but an eyesore. We just thought they were going to do them up and put people in them but they have been like that too long. "We have had notices saying to not feed the pigeons because there's absolutely hundreds and hundreds of them there. "The vast majority of people round here who have to look at it and feel like this. "For me it is too long to do nothing at all. These flats are just in limbo and attracting a lot of vermin."

I am a very fair NC15 and rarely wear makeup. When I do, I have a super hard time with blush since it shows up very easily and I like a natural look. I don't like to wear too much makeup, so this product is great for me! I got Tickled Pink and it looks just like my natural flush. I do apply it maybe 3 layers deep but for me, this is perfect. I can always put more on if it's a special event but for every day, I do not want to look like I'm wearing blush. I am excited to try some other colors and I'm glad I didn't get a more expensive blush. I will probably never use the entire thing, so why pay 10x as much for a different brand?
Also, the packaging does look cheap but what do you expect for a few bucks?

I don't understand how it got such high reviews here. Right now I'm on a blush craze so I'm trying out blushes from high end and low end brands. I was browsing at target and saw this. It was only $3 so I gave it a try. Plus it had a lot of good reviews here.
The shade in the pan is pretty enough. When I got home to try it I was disappointed at how unpigmented it was. I'm an NC20-25. So it shouldn't be that hard to show up on me, but even after five or six swipes from the pan nothing happens. If you want a good drug store blush I would say spend a few more bucks and get a NYX or Milani blush.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm not usually a powdered blush person, but I was very happy with this one. The shade looked very nice and very natural, and the level of colour and glow was very pretty and very natural-looking. I don't really have any complaints. Will probably buy again.
I've only tried Drugstore blushes all my life, and let me say this is the most pigmented one I have tried. Much more than Covergirl cheekers, which run for about 75 cents over the $3 this one costs for less product, (4.75g vs 3g) AND they all have their own little mirrors!
COLOR: medium pink with very small amount shimmer, not visible on face. Very flattering on me and very buildable
PACKAGING: Very sleek and sophisticated, with a little window and a rectangular mirror :)
Buy again? Yes :)

I was dying to get this blush for a very long time. Then one day my mom brought it home i was so happy i ran upstairs to try it out. I love the color on and it looks very nice. But i press hard and harder and even harder and only a little gets out. So the only bad thing is it is so hard to get out of the pond. other then that i like it , it has a glow to your faceé
So far I have loved almost every E.L.F blush I have tried. I think their products are very hit or miss, and by that I mean each individual product differs from person to person. I don't know if they just have their products sitting in a warehouse and grab them at random to ship out or what. While this blush works great for me, someone else might purchase the same blush and receive one that is super powdery and has no color pay off. I guess this is due to some of their products sitting around for a while before they ship them out... which, by the way, E.L.F's shipping is horrible, but that is a different story.
Anyways, this blush is a really pretty natural pink. You can build it up for more drama, but for me it is great for every day. It does have shimmer, but nothing glittery that is going to make you look like a teenage girl. I like that it isn't really pigmented first swipe. I would much rather have to build up color than to have to not get much use out of it because I can't make it work for daytime wear and nighttime wear. It gives me a nice healthy glow. Definitely one of my favorite blushes.
ELF's Tickled Pink is a very average blush. The color, a neutral light-medium pink, is great as an everyday shade and it contains no visible shimmer. The blush isn't completely matte either and can give a lovely soft glow. However, I can only achieve such an effect if I dip my brush into the pan at least five times...I would not suggest this blush to anyone around NC35 or darker (i'm NC37), although I could see it working for those with fairer skin.
At $3, this blush is a decent addition to the collection of someone starting out in makeup or wanting to try out different colors. Though even so, the pigmentation factor is a major trade-off.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
One of the best blushes ever! It looks great on my fair skin, and imparts a glow on my skin. I like to put this onto of Sonia Kashuk's Blossom cream blush. I love the sleek packaging, and how ELF has great products for great prices! There is a slight shimmer, but it is not very noticeable at all. Will repurchase whenever I run out, which I doubt I will, because they have alot of product.
For a cheap product, I quite like it. It's a nice flush pink that's suitable for a natural look. It's not highly pigmented and a little bit chalky but for me it's quite ideal as I'm usually in a bit of a rush so I can apply it carelessly and then build on it. I find the colour lasts for the whole day. Great product for the price you pay!
I have three elf blushes and I love them all. The only reason I marked this down a lippy was because it's not very pigmented. On the other hand, this can be a positive because it's very buildable and you don't put it on looking like a clown.
Would definitely buy it again as the quality is excellent, especially for the price

Topknots are EVERYWHERE these days.
Celebrities from Jessica Alba to Sarah Jessica Parker regularly sport high buns, whether they're on the red carpet or simply out running errands.
You'd think this look would be difficult to pull off, because your hair is short, or because there's just not enough of it to make a proper, full bun.
Well, I've got a BIG secret that just might work for you!
It involves this $12.74 Scunci faux hair clip from Walgreens.
You might find this hard to believe, but I use it ALL THE TIME. Click through and I'll show you the photographic evidence!
I bought this hair clip a few years ago when I saw it at the drugstore. I've never tried a wig or hair extensions of any kind, but at this low price, I thought it would be fun to play with and might come in handy on Halloween.
You can't tell from the photo, but the synthetic hair is as close to real hair as I've ever seen. It's not too "silky" (a dead giveaway for fake hair), and when I put it next to my real hair, I really can't tell a difference. The fact that the hair clips on with the same kind of clip I use to put up my hair for workouts was another big bonus -- I knew that it would be incredibly easy to use.
I tried it out when I got home and was amazed that it easily fit over my real ponytail, and it looked like real styled, slightly curled-at-the-ends hair! Over the years, it has been invaluable to me, particularly for date nights or parties when I've literally had five minutes to get ready and my hair was a mess. I can just put my hair into a ponytail, clip on the faux hair, and instantly have luscious, Hollywood locks. But lately, I've been forgoing the ponytail in favor of the topknot. Check this out ...
Yesterday, I put my hair in a quick ponytail, just to show you how this works.
I clipped the faux hair over the ponytail ...
Then, I wrapped the ponytail into a bun, and tucked the ends into the clip.
Here's the end result, which took about one minute and is still completely unstyled. If I were going out, I would have made a neater ponytail, spent a little more time making the bun perfect, etc. But even like this, IT WORKS!
I have worn this topknot to retro costume parties, on date nights, and to social events. And for a less "glamorous" look, I wear the bun on the back of my head, or at the nape of my neck. I could get this same look with my real hair (and have), but it takes an hour of curling and styling and a good dozen or two bobby pins.
This hair clip is one of my favorite last-minute hairstyle savers in my closet!
Would you try it?
Top image via Walgreens
I'd love to try this! I love your articles!
I know these come in handy for lots of women:)
I ahve really long hair, so I have no need for one of these but they are neat.
Would totally do it if my hair weren't short. :-) But it's super cute on you!
ok...you sold me!
Seriously, go check this hair out at Walgreens. There is NO WAY anyone would know it was fake, unless it's different from your own haircolor. I marvel at it every single time I pull it out. The hair is sort of course, like real hair with hairspray in it. I'm in awe.

TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans
Andrew Luck led Indianapolis back from a 13-point second-half deficit and Adam Vinatieri made two fourth-quarter field goals as the Colts rallied for a 27-23 victory Sunday over the Tennessee Titans. Luck has now engineered six fourth-quarter comebacks this season for Indy (9-4). It wasn't all Luck. Delone Carter cut the deficit to 20-14 with a 1-yard TD run on Indy's opening possession of the second half. And after Pat McAfee's 52-yard punt went out of bounds at the Titans 1-yard line, Cassius Vaughn jumped in front of Nate Washington, picked off Jake Locker's pass and scored on a 3-yard interception return to make it 21-20. Rob Bironas gave the Titans (4-9) a 23-21 lead with a 25-yard field goal, but VInatieri hit from 53 yards to retake the lead and from 40 to seal it. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Ron Ananian knows his craft. For over 20 years, motorists have received quality, honest work with a smile at Ron's repair facility, R/A Automotive. "We fix everything but a broken heart," says Ron. Based in Waldwick, New Jersey, this family–owned professional service business has been named the best in the country by CARQUEST Corporation and the New Jersey Automotive Mechanical Shop of the Year.
It's all in the family. Growing up, Ron learned some valuable lessons from his father, a mechanic who serviced President Franklin Roosevelt's DC–3 aircraft during World War II. He got the repair bug helping his father tune up the family car in time for an annual vacation. "He taught me to respect tools and machines. My dad, who worked as the lead mechanic for American Airlines at LaGuardia Airport, would say, 'There is a place for everything and everything in its place'. "Think your way through the problem, use your head, be precise, select the right tool for the job and you'll find your way," explains Ron, who got hands–on experience as a teenager taking apart and repairing anything mechanical from lawnmowers, motorcycles, and cars to even a washing machine.
Ron and his capable staff help the motoring public find the best treatment for a car's little hiccups and the bigger ones, too. Crowned the Technician's Technician by Motor Magazine and known to millions as Ron Ananian The Car Doctor™. Ron gives motorists helpful tips on how to avoid repair fraud and deception. Drawing upon over 30 years of repair experience, he tells listeners about even further changes expected in the evolution of the automobile.


text: The main sources are Tacitus, Annals xi–xii (for the years 47–54); Dio Cassius, book 60; Suetonius, Divus Claudius (a good Latin commentary by Henricus Smilda, 1896); Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, book 19. These writers have common sources: probably historians contemporary with Claudius, such as Pliny the Elder and Cluvius Rufus. On this see Ronald Syme, Tacitus, 2 vol. (1958); and Ten Studies in Tacitus (1970). Inscriptions and papyri have been collected by E.M. Smallwood in Documents Illustrating the Principates of Gaius, Claudius and Nero (1967); papyri also in Corpus papyrorum judaicarum, vol. 2 with commentary (1960). Standard modern monographs include Arnaldo Momigliano, L'opera dell'imperatore Claudio (1932; Claudius: The Emperor and His Achievement, 1934, reprinted with up-to-date bibliography, 1962); M.P. Charlesworth and A.D. Nock in The Cambridge Ancient History, vol. 10 (1934); Vincent M. Scramuzza, The Emperor Claudius (1940); and Albino Garzetti, L'impero da Tiberio agli Antonini (1960). The novels of Robert Graves, I, Claudius and Claudius, the God, and His Wife, Messalina (1934), draw from the traditions of the ancient historians.
