Wings, Wides, and Teetotters - JUNE 2510 Reviews
Bob has a bad day, Monica has a good day, Gerard's day goes downhill after a phone call
"What the hell?" he stared at Bob like he had lost this mind.
"Don't want to talk about it." He stomped out of the room slamming the door in the process.
Gerard stared at the door, Bob had a temper but he had never seen it that bad. What had Kelly said to him? He picked up this own phone intent on calling Kelly. It vibrated with an incoming call. He checked the caller ID and smiled.
Monica, Kelly and Elle had headed for the park soon after Bob called. Monica didn't understand exactly what was going on between Bob and Kara and to be honest she really didn't want to deal with her oldest daughters latest drama right now. She was still irritated with Gerard and that was enough to deal with. Elle had hopped up and down when they suggested the park. She grabbed Kelly's hand as they left the apartment babbling about 'wings, wides, and teetotters'. Kelly had assured her that she too like swings, slides and teeter-totters.
The park turned out to be a great idea. Monica had a wonderful time following the girls around and listening to Elle's sweet childish voice put her in a much better frame of mind. The little girl was so sweet and full of life. Often she would stop and hug Monica telling her how much fun she was having. When it was time to go back to Jamia's, Elle just smiled and asked Mommyca to pick her up cause she was ty-rod.
Monica scooped her up into her arms. "So you're tired are you?" Elle's arms circled her neck and she nodded.
"Well, are you hungry?" This got a very positive response from Elle. "Well, let's see what Kara and Jamia want for lunch and we'll take it back with us." She turned, "Kelly, call Jamia and ask her what she wants for lunch. She's had some weird cravings lately. I'd hate to bring her Bar-B-Que with wasabi when she really wanted frog legs and chocolate sauce." Monica said.
Kelly took the opportunity to try Kara's cell phone. She didn't know whether to hope that her phone worked or not. It wasn't going to be pretty one way or the other. Crap, it went straight to voice mail. Oh man, her phone really wasn't working and she knew why.
Kara was ready to pull her hair out. All Jamia talked about was babies, babies, babies and more babies. Oh well, it was still better than going to the park with the midget. The house phone rang and she answered, "Kara, what do you and Jamia want for lunch?'
Kara relayed the question to Jamia who thought a moment, "How about pizza? I don't know why but a veggie lovers pizza with pineapple and jalapeno peppers sounds so good."
It was all Kara could do to keep from cringing. She told Kelly what Jamia had suggested. "Yuck" Kelly said making a face. When she told Monica her mom just laughed. "We'll get that and something a bit more normal," she told her.
Kelly told her sister they would pick up the pizzas so it would be about an hour. She took a deep breath and added, "Uh Kara I think something might be wrong with your phone. I tried to call it and it went directly to voice mail." She held her breath.
"What?" Kara screamed causing Jamia to jump. She grabbed the phone and flipped it open. It looked okay at first glance but then she looked a bit closer. "Fuck, the screen looks foggy at the bottom." She popped off the battery and saw the condensation. "What happened? It looks like it got wet."
Kelly knew her mom was watching so she said, "You better check to see if you can call out."
"Yeah, right" Kara popped the battery back in and punched a number. The phone was deathly silent. "Oh shit, it's broken."
"Gotta go, we'll be there soon." Kelly snapped her own phone closed and took a deep breath. Monica was talking to a giggling Elle. Good she hadn't noticed the guilty look on her face.
Gerard walked across the room to glance out the window, he saw Bob with Frank crossing to the waiting car. He answered his phone once he sat back down on the bed. "Hey, man." he said knowing it was Ray. "How ya doing?"
"I'm good, Gee how about you?" How's the tour going?" Ray asked trying not to let his annoyance at Gerard show.
"Great, but we all miss you and Mikey. It's just not right without you guys."
"Yeah, Frank and Bob both said they same thing when they called me. Your brother called me too. You know, he took time out from his honeymoon to see how I was doing."
Gerard caught on, "Look Ray it's just been really hectic, it's not that I haven't been thinking about you. It's just that by the time we get to the next country, it's usually time to get to sound check, you know how it is."
"Yeah, and then after the concert there's no time, right?"
Gerard suddenly had a strange feeling, "What are you getting at Ray?"
"I've been watching some of the videos of the concerts fans have posted on YouTube. A couple of them have been very close to the stage and the side stage." He waited to see how his friend would respond.
"Okay, so some of our friends have been on the side stage, so what?" He lit a cigarette, "Are you trying to imply something, man?"
"I thought that was over, she had moved on. Are they still with you guys?"
"Yeah, but so what? They are just friends. Always have been."
Ray lost his temper, "Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? Someone who wasn't there?" He glanced up to see Christa retreat back into the kitchen, "Look Gee, you know as well as I do it wasn't just friendship. You have a wonderful woman here at home waiting for you. Fuck man she and I almost died a few weeks ago, doesn't that mean anything to you?"
Gerard's eyes narrowed, "I don't know where the fuck this is coming from. I'm on tour we met up with some old friends and you're acting like I'm screwing around on Monica. How could you even think that?" He snuffed out the cigarette and immediately lit another. "Sorry Ray but I don't have to explain shit to you. Bob and I have gone out a few times with them, so fucking what?"
Ray tried to regain control of his temper, "Gee, I saw the videos, do you really think it won't get back to Monica? I'm pretty fucking sure you haven't told her, have you?" he challenged.
"I've told her I've gone out with friends, she trusts me." he said with venom in this voice.
"Should she?" Ray blurted out before he could stop himself.
Gerard totally lost control, "What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Do you really think I would do anything to jeopardize what I have with Monica?" I love her," he practically shouted. "I wouldn't be unfaithful."
Ray's tone was deadly; "You said that once about Liv, too."

From model to mogul: Martha Stewart's 1956 Unilever ad resurfaces as domestic diva remembers kick-starting her career in vogue
By Jennifer Madison, Daily Mail
June 28, 2011
She may be a domestic diva today, but Martha Stewart was pitching products in America's living rooms long before she built a billion dollar empire.
The 69-year-old was still a teen when she started her career as a model for TV adverts and fashion magazines.
That was over 50 years ago - so Stewart was understandably stunned when her 1956 commercial for Unilever soap resurfaced on Wednesday during a corporate conference.
Global marketing communications company Interpublic held its Group of Companies' event in Cannes this week, when CEO Michael Roth played the clip.
Stewart, then 15, flashed on the screen, playing a married woman on-the-go in the ad for Unilever's Lifebuoy soap.
The black-and-white clip begins with the young model cheerfully smiling as she's lifted up at the waist by a male co-star.
A narrator pitches the 'spice-fragrant' soap, for 'busy, active people'.
Stewart and her co-star are pictured nuzzling after a hard day's work; a caption appears: 'Odor-proofs for over 24 hours.'
A beauty shot of the television star shows her brightly smiling, brushing her hands through her cropped blonde hair - a chipper young version of the cooking host and business mogul we know today.
Stewart was light-hearted about watching the old clips.
Laughing, she told AdAge, 'I loved seeing that commercial because who smelled? Did he smell or did I smell?'
Even then, she explained, she was juggling a full plate - and had to take a break from her studies to shoot the ad.
'It was done on Shelter Island… I took off two days from school, I had a chaperone,' she said.
The commercial was the beginning of Stewart's modelling career, which saw her on the pages of Glamour magazine, and in television commercials including one of Tareyton cigarette brand's talked-about 'Smokers would rather fight than switch!' advert.
It was, in fact, Stewart's modelling career that allowed her to pay her way through university.
While modelling, she managed to maintain an A average, and later attended Barnard College in New York.
The hard work has clearly paid off. Martha Stewart Living - her platform for a mix of magazines, television shows and lifestyle products is valued at close to $280million, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The company at its peak was valued at $1.9 billion in February 2005, just before Stewart was released from prison after her highly-publicised conviction for securities fraud.

Joe Polo from the 2006 US Olympic curling team will be joining us to walk in the Doo-Dah parade and help teach at our open house on Saturday, June 6, 2009. Come out, meet Joe, learn a few things about top level curling and be a part of the biggest sports movement in Kalamazoo history. How many times do you get to play with and learn from an Olympic medal winner?
Thanks to all that came out to the Learn to Curl Open house (about 200 in all). Especially those who fought Friday night's snow storm. We hope all enjoyed their exposure to the great sport of curling. I know I didn't hear a discouraging word. We apologize to all who didn't get to participate, and to any who called or emailed to register and didn't get a response. The person receiving phone calls and emails for this event was in the hospital having a baby. It won't happen again. Well, at least not for another nine months.
People are asking when they can come back. We will answer that question as soon as we can. This event surely demonstrated that there is a demand for curling in the greater Kalamazoo area. We plan to have another Learn to Curl event, open curling throughout the Summer and a Fall league. We'll get that scheduled soon. Please check back on this website now and then to stay information.
Or better yet, get on our e-mail list, and we'll email you when we have some news. We've had some requests for T-shirt sales on the website. We're working on that one too.
Thanks for all the great comments and positive feedback. The Kalamazoo Curling Club is off to a great start.
Good Curling.

Blizzard is terrible at rewarding their contests. For example over at WorldofRaids we ran a contest back in APRIL where the winners would get a free copy of Arthas. Well now it's November and after countless e-mails to Blizzard and them making up excuses Kody is resorting to having to buy the books himself to send to the winners since we have given up on Blizzard.

The architects, on the other hand, held their breath ("Credit goes to the client for taking the leap," says Lomont). Would they be able to get enough marble to cover the bathroom and align the grain to look both natural and consistent? There was the question of coordination: stone arriving from afar, getting the right subs to install marble, drains, fixtures, windows, and skylight, and a tight time frame. "This is a summer community," says Lomont of the schedule dictated by working in The Hamptons, a beachside locale. "We start projects the day after Labor Day and hope to finish by Memorial Day."The room is about materials, but the idea is simplicity, rather than the excitement of different materials combined. Details such as condensation gutters, flashings, and curbs are out of sight, so all that's visible is stone meeting glass. The shower's skylight and window give a feeling of merging with the water and allow light to travel throughout the room. The marble's striations resemble the sand at low tide. Its gray looks like the ocean when the sun goes behind a cloud. "If attention to details can permeate the big picture," says Lomont, "that's success."Learn more about markets featured in this article: New York, NY.

Estimating residual variance in nonparametric regression using least squares
AbstractWe propose a new estimator for the error variance in a nonparametric regression model. We estimate the error variance as the intercept in a simple linear regression model with squared differences of paired observations as the dependent variable and squared distances between the paired covariates as the regressor. For the special case of a one-dimensional domain with equally spaced design points, we show that our method reaches an asymptotic optimal rate which is not achieved by some existing methods. We conduct extensive simulations to evaluate finite-sample performance of our method and compare it with existing methods. Our method can be extended to nonparametric regression models with multivariate functions defined on arbitrary subsets of normed spaces, possibly observed on unequally spaced or clustered designed points.

Rick Reilly Says Tiger Shouldn't Go To The Masters. Rick Reilly Is Also Crazy.
12/8/09 in Golf | 100%InjuryRate | 1283 respect
But what Reilly did say that I paid attention to was that Tiger should skip the Masters, which is about the dumbest advice in the world.
Tiger has officially proven himself to be a complete and utter dirtbag, despite the longtime image he presented of himself - being a stand-up, boring guy. But aside from his sponsors, how many of us were really all that enthralled with him being a stand-up, boring guy? I wasn't. I was enthralled with him being a cutthroat competitor who could win majors and hit crazy clutch shots.
I mean, let's be honest. Most pro athletes are scumbags. They are not role models. Michael Jordan was a complete asshole. He cheated on his wife, gambled, and made enemies everywhere. Shawn Kemp has countless illegitimate kids. Jayson Williams shot and killed a limousine driver. Kobe Bryant may have raped a woman. As Charles Barkley once said, "A million guys can dunk a basketball in jail; should they be role models?"
The answer, of course, is no. And it doesn't stop with basketball players. NHL player Mike Danton tried to have his agent murdered. Oscar De La Hoya may have raped a woman. Kirby Puckett beat his wife.
But the majority of people don't really care too much about that as soon as these guys do what they do best, which is excel at sports.
Perhaps that's sad, but it's pretty much the truth.
So, yes, Tiger's going to get hassled for the rest of his career, as he probably should be, for being an enormous jackass. But a lot of people will forget his past when he's putting for his 19th major.
For Tiger, the simplest thing to do is to get back to doing what he does best, which is play golf, not hide. After all, athletes have come back from much worse (see: Bryant, Kobe). And it's always through doing what they do best, which is almost never being a model citizen or a great husband, but by being a great athlete.
I don't like it either people, but that's pretty much the way it is.

Why, thank you! As for how to get around to it, it's kinda simple, really. When you start playing a character a certain way, that character starts to pick up a bit of a personality. As great as long, involved backstories are, the best ones, in my opinion, evolve over time from interactions with other people. Oturiel, being my fiance, and I have played together from day one, doing the occasional RP moments when we felt like it, and the rest just followed naturally.

Book Description:This fascinating history captures more than two centuries of life on and around the St. George Peninsula. These images feature war heroes, churches, community volunteers, historic sites, summer visitors, sailing vessels, and all phases of the still important fishing industry. St. George's rich cultural heritage is well documented due to the booming granite industry, which lured European laborers to this area in the early 20th century. Many of these quarryworkers remained. They put down roots and constructed stores, post offices, schools, and clusters of wood-framed dwellings. The stark walls of abandoned granite quarries still pay tribute to these hardworking immigrants. Today, this area is the gateway to Monhegan Island. It inspires theexceptional Wyeth paintings and is a magnet for other noted artists and photographers. Locals, however, still cling to the traditions of their small seaside town.

A dinner - nothing fancy, in a place where we can have some really good conversation.
would be be a nice lunch or dinner on the beach followed by a nice walk and a ride on the harley. talking and learning about each other.
Going out having a few beers and a bite to eat. Talking and getting to know each other as we go throught the evening.
Ride, dinner, drinks,& movie.................................................
Maybe visit hells kitchen,or a 5 star restaurant, maybe a walk in the park first.
A good bottle of wine, or beer to start followed by a delicous meal then conversation to see if we click. Then a nice ride on the bike, a nite-cap ? then a big bear hug and a kiss goodnite.
Ride to beach on bikes and go from there.........
If it's a first meet, then we can start simple, someplace to eat and talk followed by a ride or drive to see a venue...live music, the beach, some fun activity.
Well, I love riding. So I guess perhaps a ride then lunch.
Random activities-absolutely anything that would include the beach and the sea or you trying to convince me to love riding with you
perfect date for me would be to ride to the beach, dinner, and walk on the beach.
A scenic ride with a food destination, and a few stops along the way to get to know each other.
Meet on mutial ground and have lunch
Take a ride..Or, just sit somewhere with a drink & discuss the possibilities..

If someone close to you requires timely medical care, you could be faced with an important decision: should you go to an emergency room or could you seek care at an urgent care center? Each has advantages and disadvantages. If a condition seems life threatening, the emergency room is definitely the better choice.
At other times, an urgent care clinic may meet your needs and offer advantages such as shorter wait times, a less stressful environment and lower cost. In a recent webcast presentation on mmLearn.org, Dr. Evan Ratner, Owner and Medical Director of Impact Urgent Care, shared these recommendations:
The ER is recommended if the patient has:
Urgent care centers commonly treat the following:
Urgent care centers may also offer specialty programs such as smoking cessation or sports medicine. According to Dr. Ratner, not all urgent care clinics are the same and it can be important to research yours ahead of time.
View Dr. Ratner's informational webcast. Dr. Ratner's presentation is part of mmLearn.org's Ask the Geriatrician series. The Ask the Geriatrician series was developed to address the shortage of geriatricians available to meet with older adults and their caregivers in the United States. Geriatricians specialize in preventing and treating health issues in adults ages 65 plus, yet many people never have the opportunity to speak with one.
The mission of mmLearn.org is to provide caregivers with online training and education that improve the quality of care received by older adults.

Wollongong, Aust...
I made this birdcage veil and hairpiece for my wedding last year.
The fabric flower is based on DuhBe's DuhBe Fabric Roses
Unfortunately, I left it till the last minute and I was still finishing the flower off at 11pm the night before the wedding!! Turned out great thankfully.
Veiling from Lincraft; Remnant satin left over from the wedding dress project; Remnant corded lace left over from the wedding dress project, Bicone Swarovski crystals 4mm, Clear plastic hair combs, Thread

May 21, 2011, 02.20 AMby cynthia-1
Thanks to everyone for all the lovely comments.
I used two hair combs- one for the veil component and one for the flower & lace. The flower is based on DuhBe's fabric roses which can be found here: http://duhbe.com/blog/2009/07/how-to-make-duhbe-fabric-roses/ ( or click link above).

I'm trying to hunt down a memory leak in an ASP MVC web site. If I profile by selecting 'ASP/NET Web Application (web development server)' then I get a popup that "WebDev.WebServer40.exe has stopped working" when I try to take a snapshot (crashing the webdev server process).
Here are the 2 related event log entries:

I have never regretted going to see a show. I may, a time or two, regretted that I drank to much while at said show, but I've never regretted going. Last night is a prime example. I was one breath away from packing my bags, checking out early, and heading back to Athens yesterday morning. As it turned out, laying low here in Nashville was probably just what I needed. I got caught up on some sleep and some office work and some more sleep…and actually ate 2 meals for the first time in a week. None of that would have happened if I'd have gone home. Then, of course there was the show, which was fanfuckingtastic and I even managed to limit my booze intake enough to not have a raging hangover today (responsible adult decisions FTW).
Now, the only decision I really have to make is whether to get on the road right now and make it back to A-town at a decent time or to wait until Grimey's opens and go do some record shopping. My favorite record store in Athens closed recently and I'm discovering that the remaining store, though more famous, doesn't really do a great job of keeping in stock the kind of thing I like to listen to. So, I really could use a good record store in my life….
One more cuppa Joe while I debate this.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Five days after fracturing the pinkie on his right hand, David Wright felt no ill-effects in his return to the Mets' lineup.
The New York third baseman homered in his first at-bat and singled twice as the Mets blanked the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-0, in the middle test of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.
Lucas Duda clubbed a two-run homer for the Mets, who have taken the first two games of this series to improve to 6-2 on the young season.
Jon Niese (2-0) limited the Phillies to five singles over 6 2/3 innings. Bobby Parnell and Jon Rauch shut down Philadelphia the rest of the away.
Vance Worley (0-1) gave up four runs on eight hits and walked four in six frames for Philadelphia, which fell to 3-5.
"You just got to keep working and be confident things will get turned around," said Phillies outfielder John Mayberry Jr.
Wright sent the first pitch he saw to center field to put New York on the board in the first inning.
"When a guy like David Wright goes out and plays with a broken finger, and everybody knows he's got it, and plays the way he plays, all of a sudden the other guys don't hurt as bad," said New York manager Terry Collins.
The Mets loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth and went up 2-0 when Jason Bay grounded into a double play. Duda followed with his third home run of the season, a blast to the seats in right-center.
Ruben Tejada added an RBI single in the ninth off Philadelphia's Michael Stutes.
Niese and Worley both struck out five batters...Philadelphia center fielder Shane Victorino extended his hitting streak against the Mets to 13 games...The Phillies were 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position.

Manufacturing: A New Commerce Department Report Shows Renewed Expansion
Guest blog post by Dr.Sue Helper, Chief Economist, U.S. Department of Commerce
The U.S. manufacturing sector is rebounding at a rate unseen since the late 1990s. For the first time in more than a decade, output and employment are steadily and simultaneously increasing. A new Commerce Department report, Manufacturing Since the Great Recession, provides an overview of the resurgence of this important economic sector, examining production, international trade and the labor market.
Some of the key findings included in the report are:
- Manufacturing output has grown 38 percent since the second quarter of 2009 when the Great Recession ended, and accounts for 19 percent of the rise in real gross domestic product (GDP) since that time;
- From March 2010 through May 2014, the manufacturing sector has added 646,000 jobs with an additional 243,000 positions yet to be filled. This is more than a cyclical rebound; the US has gained about four times as many manufacturing jobs since 2009 as would be expected from cyclical factors alone; and,
- In 2013, average annual weekly hours for production workers in the manufacturing sector were at their highest level since the mid-1940s.
Manufacturing jobs are good jobs: workers earn 16 percent more in manufacturing jobs (in combined wages and benefits) than they would elsewhere. Not surprisingly, quit rates are also lower than in any non-government sector.

Breaking radio silence…
Maybe. The premise sounds silly, but this is a pretty great pick up for her.
DVR is a gift from the television watching gods. The 10PM hour extends way past my bed time. I only feel a little bad for contributing to killing the 10PM prestige hour.
Also, dramas are not what I want to watch before I go to bed. Who are these people watching dramas at 10PM? I need something happy before bedtime. I don't like to go to sleep fearing nightmares of criminals or crying because I'm depressed.
10PM should be the happy hour of television.
I really want Starz to be successful. Starz is willing to take on unusual programs from less "mainstream" show runners and actors, with great results. Loading Torchwood with established, beloved-by-geeks crew members is savvy.
Starz needs a hit. Not a critical darling like Party Down, but a show that delivers ratings. Spartacus brought moderate ratings, but back luck (star diagnosed with cancer) ended production prematurely.
Starz clearly feels poised to launch a "Mad Men" style hit. At first glance, Torchwood seems unlikely an unlikely candidate. Torchwood can definitely deliver Mad Men sized ratings if it becomes the best sci-fi show on American television. It's unlikely to carve out such an omnipresent place in popular culture, Mad Men's ratings are small compared to the media attention the show attracts.
If Starz can get big ratings for Torchwood, they may break into the scripted television market arena. Finally.
This article also raised a really great point about television fans. We think of shows in terms of "mine, mine, mine." I know I do. After I dedicate 20, 40, 100 hours to a show, it becomes part of my life. It's easy to forget I haven't become a part of the show.
My shows are not mine. Television belongs to the decision makers, who work really hard to make their show the best. One of my favorite Lorne Michaels moments is when he admits that no episode of SNL is ever perfect. If it was perfect, there would be no need to make another episode.
More after the jump…
Because of the Lorne Michaels Philosophy, I'm OK with not loving every episode of my favorite show. I don't love every painting I've ever seen (aka, most paintings). More importantly, I don't claim my favorite paintings are mine. That would be weird.
Sometimes, fans need to take a step back and appreciate the small city of people involved in creating a show. Producers, writers, directors, editors, actors, crew members, costume designers, casting directors, set designers, PAs, etc.
No matter how attached I get, it's not "my" show. But I can love it anyway.
After every single professional sports play, millions of fans are sipping Bud Lights and screaming at the TV.
"Why you play him? We can't afford to lose this game!" "I would never run that play." "Get it together otherwise we might not make the playoffs." Expletives omitted.
Sometimes they storm Twitter or message boards to blast the coach. Yet they still tune in to every game, generating major advertising dollars that drive the professional sports industry.
Television has started to mirror professional sports. The Internet is a breeding ground for obsessive fans. They geek out to each other, get inside scoop from show runners and generally spread their obsession far and wide.
These fans are the couch coaches of television, publicly shaming show runners via Twitter for the smallest misstep. But these fans tune in every week, live or via DVR, and generate major advertising dollars. These fans keep the show runners employed.
Show runners put themselves out there on the internet to further their careers. To garner credit for the shows they create; enabling fans to appreciate creative minds behind shows other than the actors. Ask any football coach: that name recognition comes with a price. Pervasive and instantaneous criticism.
Maybe they should call up some professional coaches and whine about it. Or maybe, they shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them.
Chelsea Lately. Taylor Swift Interview.
I have a lot of love for Chelsea Handler. I get that people don't like her. The idea that she slept her way to the top and her aggressive, crude humor can be off putting. Mostly, she's smart, hard working and sometimes funny. I admire her determination to further her career, even if I don't always admire her choices.
Also, she's great at featuring comedians. Ross Mathews puns are amazing. Always.
This interview bothers me. How did she not ask Taylor Swift what the sex with Jake Gyllenhaal or John Mayer is like (unless Chelsea already knows…just a thought)? So very, very un-Chelsea.
Her interviews are most amusing when she makes her guests super uncomfortable. She frequently asks questions everyone is dying to ask, but are too polite/reverential to do so.
I'm torn because I get this interview. This is Career-Chelsea interviewing Taylor Swift. Career-Chelsea also goes easy on her only recurring A-list guest, Jennifer Aniston. Soft interviews bring big guests. Big guests bring big money. It's a simple equation and Chelsea's smart enough to do the math.
I respect Career-Chelsea and I imagine she's a lot more palatable to the middle American audience. But I miss Crazy-Chelsea. She's slowly giving up a niche as a brutal yet hilarious interviewer. Who else is going to press Taylor Swift on her sex life? No one. And that makes this television viewer a little sad.
I thought I saw a great commentary on LaineyGossip or Celebitchy about this but can't find it so I'm crediting them both anyway.
In Treatment, Season 3, Jesse. Why I'm watching this season. Dane DeHaan has this train wreck manic energy that forces you to watch. You just can't look away.
Raising Hope. In lighter news, check on Jason Lee on the set of Raising Hope this week. Courtesy of TV Squad. Sign of an excellent comedy: I laugh so hard I cry during every episode. And I watch by myself.
Who doesn't think this is funny? My roommates. Which is why I watch Raising Hope alone. But they only watch Glee. And shows way past their prime (Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl. What is this, 2007?). Not that I'm judging them. But I totally am.
In Treatment. Season 2, April. Consensus around the internet is that Alison Pill plays the most compelling patient Paul's ever treated. I can't wait to watch her in a dramatic role. Not that she wasn't super cute in Scott Pilgrim.
In Treatment. Season 1, Sophie. Sophie would be terrifying if she were your child. Her relationship with her mother is exaggerated by disturbingly realistic.

For today's 103rd anniversary of the Tunguska Event, an image I pulled from my iPhoto library, taken at the Tucson offices of the Planetary Science Institute. This is a section of a telegraph pole standing in Siberia on the morning of 30 June 1908 when something — a piece of a comet, an asteroid, a black hole, or maybe a UFO — exploded several miles above the Earth, releasing the energy equivalent to about 1000 Hiroshima atomic bombs. But it left no crater, leading to speculation that whatever it was saw complete destruction well above the impact site. The energy of the explosion was directed downward and then radially outward once the fireball reached the ground, flattening on order of 80 million trees in the process; these trees were still laid down some 19 years later when the first Russian expedition to the area arrived. It's not clear in the photo, but the orientation of this particular telegraph pole relative to the fireball is clear: one side of it is as black as charcoal while the other side is essentially pristine. I don't know how far away from ground zero it was located.
The tag reads "Tunguska 'Telegraph Pole' - Portion of a tree used to support a telegraph line singed by the Tunguska explosion. Siberia, 30 June 1908."

"Californication's" EVA AMURRI is getting married and her racy, naked ass bachelorette party is tomorrow at Lavo in Sin City! My, my…Susan Sarandon's little girl has grown up and is getting hitched, but her last hurrah's sure to be a night to remember…
Star news just learned that Eva's final bash a singleton isn't going to be an exclusive party, either, because here she is promoting it to the hilt dressed in lingerie that leaves very little to the imagination.
So if she's going to cavort about in her lingerie best, we wonder what the dress code to the party will be. And more to the point, how wild is it going to get, given it's at Las Vegas where all sorts of things you can imagine (and some you can't) happen? One thing's for sure, we're betting mom Susan Sarandon will be there, because isn't she single and fancy-free?
Wonder what fiance, former MLS soccer player Kyle Martino thinks of this announcement to Eva's not-so-little shindig.

My chihuahua loves playing with balls, but it's hard to find her big enough ones to where she can't swallow them, but not too big to where she can't actually play with them either. This toy is perfect. She loves to walk around the house with it in her mouth at all times and we call it her baby. The only downside is the squeeker seems to squeek twice; once when you actually squeeze it, and again when it's sucking the air back into the ball, which can get a bit annoying, but it isn't too bothersome. Overall, great toy.
Pros: Perfect size for my Chihuahua and easy for her to pick up.
Cons: The squeeker gets a little annoying, but that's fine.

Cross Country
Senior Profile: Joe Dimambro
May 31, 2012
By Bernie Rosendahl, MSU Athletic Communications Contact for Track & Field and Cross Country
EAST LANSING, MICH. - The setting is the Spartan Invitational, Michigan State's only home track meet of the season. It's a picture-perfect April afternoon, only moments away from what will be the marquee event of the day:
The Men's 1500-Meter Run.
Two years later, Dimambro would be one of those runners.
Born in Fenton, Michigan, as the oldest of three siblings, Dimambro was a born student-athlete. His father had the athletic genes and had run cross country in the high school, while his mother was accomplished in her academics.
He was involved with soccer in his early years, starting in the community AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization) leagues and eventually playing midfielder as freshman in high school, but Dimambro's first brush with any type of competitive running didn't come until middle school track - when he utilized the sport to get into better shape for soccer in the fall.
Dimambro would later find himself participating in cross country, but he wasn't a star in the very beginning.
"I was...third best on the team," confides Dimambro.
But after his first career race, in which he finished third amongst his teammates, Dimambro's then coach told his mother, Laurie, that he should really stick with the sport because he had a lot potential.
That coach, Rick Cradit - who doubled as the middle school cross country coach and Fenton High School's track coach - would play a role in getting Dimambro acquainted with the sport by inviting him and a few other top runners from his class to participate in indoor track, an unofficial sport at the school.
Even though the workouts were of an increased intensity than he was not used to, Dimambro sensed that his future success might be on the track. With that in mind, he was forced to make the decision to quit soccer.
It took a little bit of time for Dimambro to be entirely sure of that decision and be confident in his abilities. First, his racing tactics needed work.
"Early on I'd get a little too far out ahead or get boxed in (in track), explained Dimambro. "I learned it wasn't necessarily being the best runner, but how to be the best runner."
Second, he needed to believe in himself. Even after running a 16:53 5K on a cross country course as only a sophomore.
"I remember going to various different college camps during the summer," Dimambro continued. "And I remember the counselors that were running in college and having so much respect for them. The whole time I'm thinking, "Wow, I don't think I could ever reach that level."
But Cradit took interest in developing him to that level by planning out training regimens early in advance to get him ready for both the track and cross country seasons. By the time Dimambro was a junior, he found himself a conference and regional champion and placing high in state competition.
"It was an eye-opener," Dimambro recalls of the experience. "The first day was a test to see what kind of fitness everybody was in. I loved it; sleeping in cabins, getting up early to eat breakfast and heading out and running pretty hard every day. It was a great way to get to know all the team members and get a really solid block of training in."
"After the workout, Coach Drenth took the time to come up to me to say that I ran really well in that workout. To hear things like that as freshman are definitely motivating," Dimambro said.
"People warned me, it's tough, it's a lot further than you think and after you get to the 5K mark you still have a lot more to run. I remember running it and just not being ready for the pace you needed to be successful. I finished in 26:15 and thought to myself that I just needed to run a lot better," recalls Dimambro.
"I was running in the 25's (minutes) for a 5-mile split," remembers Dimambro. "And that's where you are saying to yourself "Oh my god, I was racing at this speed last year" and I'm doing this on dirt roads... so I must be doing something right."
It is common knowledge within the program that Dimambro has been one of the more successful and reliable runners at Michigan State due to his ability to regroup and recharge between the cross country and track seasons. The 2011 cross country season saw him participate in five out of the possible eight meets. The only other runner to compete in more races last season was redshirt freshman Ben Carruthers.
"I visited the training room even when I wasn't hurt. I took care of smaller things like using rollers to massage out pain and taking ice baths to recover."
Dimambro continued, "You have to try to be successful in all the other realms of life. There is not an on and off switch, you have to be living your life that you need to live in order to be more successful in whatever you do."
"Through observing him through these years, he's a talented man who's very successful but he puts in the work that's necessary to make the talent show."

More often than not, our wedding films showcase the love between a bride and groom, and their journey down the aisle. However, after leaving Jessica and Chris' wedding last night, we were inspired to put together a piece that highlights the special bond between the Jessica and her sisters.
Jackie, the oldest of three sisters, is widely known as Jackie Ohh, one of SFL's most lauded wedding planners. Jackie is the mother hen of the trio and the force behind Jessica and Chris' stunning wedding, among other jaw-dropping events. Stephanie, the youngest, is the social butterfly who is also dependable and loving. Whether helping Jackie in her numerous events or making preperations for Jessica's big day, Stephanie is always there for her family.
The star of this show is the bride, Jessica, the middle sister who is studious, witty and caring. The 3 are very different and yet have an unshakeable bond that comes along with growing up together, sharing a home and memories for many years. If you're around the Farah sisters for more than 5 minutes, you immediately sense what an extra tight-knit family they are!
Thankfully, they are adding more testosterone into the family with the addition of Chris, Jessica's other half, who comes from an equally fantastic family. He and Jessica complement each other perfectly and you can tell there's nothing he wouldn't do for her. He's goofy when she's pouty and she knows how to motivate him when he needs direction. We've been on this journey to Jessica and Chris' wedding since filming their Save the Date last November, and have had many opportunities to see what a great relationship they have.
We started editing this film after last night's reception, using music performed at the ceremony by the phenomenal vocalists from AA Musicians. It was a spectacular event (one of the most amazing we've ever experienced) and we're so thrilled to have had a role in it. We thank Jessica, Chris and the Farah and Hernandez families for making us a part of this special time their lives. There's plenty more to see from this awesome wedding so, stay tuned for their highlight!
