I need to share this moment from Le diable au coeur with you because
- Lipstick perfection
- In case you can't tell, she has straight up made her hair ornaments/necklace from crumpled-up balls of tinfoil she has strung together
In conclusion I LOVE EVERY SINGLE THING THAT IS HAPPENING HERE
The vamp's tendency to posture and her inclination to wear distinctive, vivid makeup combine to render her an excessively produced body. In some sense, she threatens to be out of bounds at any moment, and her body seems always to be in danger of showing. Her laboring efforts help her carry off a kind of masquerade—a false femininity whose veneer is continually slipping. The vamp's meaning is also strongly articulated by means of costume. Heavily sexualized, her clothing tends to be dark in color or to feature aggressive prints and stripes that serve to mark her sartorial threat. The vamp draws attention to her labors through her costume, and so represents a sharp break with the patriarchal requirement that women's labor be invisible. Since we are culturally committed to effacing the female laboring body, part of the threat of the vamp is that she presents herself as the evolving site of her own laboring efforts.

Everything I've read so far from this anthology has been fantastic, but this article made me especially excited, for obvious reasons. (So excited that I'm actually posting on Tumblr again, whoa!)

Just popping in to say that you can see this film (which was ostensibly a promo for the Folies) on YouTube. It's 8 minutes of surreal weirdness, featuring Josephine Baker being fabulous (she couldn't be any other way) and a whole lotta naked girls.

I watched this last night and it was amazing. I loved everything about it but especially THE COLOURS. I just realized when looking at this still that the colours actually evoke for me the tones of hand-coloured film (aka one of the things I love most). Anyway, if you get a chance, WATCH IT because it is stunning (visually and beyond).

Who claims that there was, in the world, a certain Musidora — haughty, capricious, depraved, as venomous as a scorpion, so malicious that we looked under her skirt to see if she hadn't a cloven hoof? A Musidora without a soul, without pity, without remorse, who deceived even the lover she chose; a vampire of gold and silver, drinking down the heir's legacy like a glass of soda water to whet her appetite; a mocking demon, casting over all things her piercing, discordant laughter; an odious courtesan, resurrecting the orgies of ancient days, without even the excuse of Messalina's ardor? Those who say so are surely mistaken.
- Théophile Gautier, Fortunio (1836)
Fortunio is where Musidora (aka Jeanne Roques) found the name that she would take as her own.
She wasn't ugly…just evil…
I'm feeling a little frisky this morning, (prolly the post-race/birthday hangover), so maybe I'll venture into dangerous territory and chime in on the Natalie issue…..
I find it extremely hard to judge someone who never got a chance (or else never wanted the opportunity) to tell their side of the story. Granted, her behavior with regard to BK was puzzling, I'm sure that this is a case of the truth lying somewhere between "his side" (vague) and "her side" (non-existent) of the story. Without the benefit of hearing Natalie's side of things, we can't even begin to extrapolate the truth.
The "fangirl" in me always tends to jump to Buster's immediate defense, but I have to temper my knee-jerk emotions with reason. I can't bring myself to vilify Natalie Talmadge Keaton because all I can do is guess at what really happened in a strange relationship between two people that happened over 90 years ago.
In short, not enough facts to form an educated opinion, and I'm not inclined to err on the side of hatred.
OH GOD FOR REAL i get so tired of all this ridiculous natalie loathing from buster stans and biographers. i'm done as hell in general with the ~poor put upon husband~ narratives that biographies of old hollywood men are so fucking rife with. it is so lazy and gross and i am so over being asked to believe that nearly every old hollywood dude's marriage that ended in a divorce was unhappy due to the woman being SOOOO TERRIBLE. OH THE DUDE WAS UNHAPPY AND COMPLAINED ABOUT HER SO CLEARLY SHE SUCKED. if he cheated or behaved shittily? well jeez, she drove him to it! fuck's sake get out with that shit. the sheer personal vitriol i've seen consistently directed at the ex-wives of silent hollywood dudes is disgusting.
natalie talmadge was brought up by a SUPER intense stage mother who basically raised her to believe that the only thing that mattered was getting the fuck out of poverty and as far away from it and as famous as possible. while both of her sisters became two of the HUGEST film stars in america, she was written off as the ugly and untalented duckling (and not implicitly either). she could not get a break in the movies and ended up with basically a pity job doing secretary work at smaller studios. she and buster were basically set up for marriage by her mother who did not think natalie was good for much else than marriage to someone as beneficial as possible, and neither of them seems to have been more than mildly enthusiastic about it.
then a lot of shit happened that involved both of them being less than ideal spouses; natalie behaving in a way that just strikes me as super anxious, trying to acquire the status for herself that she had been drilled for since childhood by trying her hardest to be part of hollywood's social elite, being super fashionable and lavish, keeping up appearances at all costs. being apparently told by her sisters/mother that she should stop having sex and babies (idek wtf this story is, it has always confused me and every account of it i have read has been way too heavy on the ~poor buster ganged up on by a bunch of stonewalling harpies~, i'd like to know more about why/how even natalie's freaking sex life was apparently her family's decision instead of her own). then there was buster spending as recklessly as she was (and if i hear one more outraged squeak about her SPENDING HIS MONEY!!! i will scream, SHE WAS A HOUSEWIFE WHO ELSE'S MONEY DID SHE HAVE), buster being either gone or completely preoccupied with his work basically always, buster drinking a lot and then cheating on natalie all over the place, increasingly indiscreetly.
AND THEN they divorced and natalie was so fucked up by the entire marriage that she wouldn't even allow her sons to mention buster's name to her again as long as she LIVED. she basically spent the rest of her life being a depressed alcoholic. nobody harbours resentment that deep and is that thoroughly fucked up for the rest of their lives just for laughs, she was clearly as hurt by their marriage as buster was, not to mention the issues she got from being the insignificant factor in the talmadge clan.
but god forbid anyone do anything less than paint her as a one-dimensional antagonist to buster's tragic innocence or wtf ever. it's all pretty familiar sounding shit: she was a golddigger, a prude, a bitch, a cruel and petty nag, at best just a greedy bitch with a stick up her ass. god FORBID you admit that keaton wasn't a very good spouse to her either and that they were in the end mostly just a really horrible fit as a couple - no, it's all natalie's fault. get out with that shit.

Comparison of packed bed and fluidized bed membrane reactors for methane
Gallucci, Fausto and Sint Annaland van, Martin and Kuipers, J.A.M. (2009) Comparison of packed bed and fluidized bed membrane reactors for methane
reforming. In: 6th International Symposium on Multiphase Flow, Heat Mass Transfer and Energy Conversion, 11-15 July 2009, Xi'an, China.
|In this work the performance of different membrane reactor concepts, both fluidized bed and
packed bed membrane reactors, have been compared for the reforming of methane for the production of
ultra-pure hydrogen. Using detailed theoretical models, the required membrane area to reach a given
conversion and the prevailing temperature profiles have been compared. The extent of mass and heat
transfer limitations in the different reactors have been evaluated, and strategies to decrease (or avoid) these
limitations have been proposed.

The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned premiere delivered a knockout blow for the UFC and FOX, more than doubling the viewership for last season's opener. read news >>
In various incarnations over the past week, nearly three million viewers watched the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter reality show.The key to the number was FOX putting an encore version of the show, which is built around a tournament to crown the first UFC women's strawweight champion (115 pounds). While it didn't air in every market, where it did air was either before or after FOX's Sunday NFL broadcasts. The show delivered 1,735,000 viewers in that time slot.The actual debut on FS 1 on S read news >>
The latest rendition of The Ultimate Fighter debuted last week to horrific ratings that made it the worst season premiere in the storied history of the show. TUF 20 only drew 536,000 viewers which may come as a bit of surprise due to the positive chatter surrounding the show leading up to the premiere. TUF 20 features a different format than we've grown to know over the years, and more importantly, an actual champion is going to be produced this season as the winner of the show will be crowned t read news >>
Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator MMA went head-to-head last Friday with dueling events in Connecticut, but only one show's broadcast drew more than 1 million viewers. read news >>
The UFC performed above average in their Friday night slot, while Bellator failed to average past 700,000 viewers. While many fans and pundits predicted that Bellator would beat the UFC in their first ever (partial) head-to-head clash last Friday when both hosted events 10km apart in Connecticut, the released ratings prove that to be far from the actual case. The UFC Fight Night Connecticut main card, which took place between 10:00 PM ET - 11:58 PM ET averaged 911,000 total viewers, up 12% compa read news >>

The verdict on a Friday night where UFC, Bellator, WWE Smackdown and College Football all aired, is that for the most part, each show did about what it would have done without the competition. UFC did better than its average for Wednesdays and most Saturdays, while Bellator did right at its average. Based on preliminary numbers, it's hard to come to a conclusion as to what it meant for Bellator and UFC to go head-to-head on Friday night, past that it doesn't appear either hurt the other signific read news >>
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently tied a ribbon around its UFC Fight Night 50 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on FOX Sports 1 from inside the Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., the same night Spike TV aired its Bellator 123 fight card at Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino in nearby Uncasville. And the overnight ratings are pretty close, all things considered. "Jacare vs. Mousasi" returned a .54 overnight rating for its four-fight main card from 10-12 p.m. ET, topped off by the read news >>
Well, nobody expected the UFC prelims to do great numbers in the ratings, and true to form, these numbers aren't great. The UFC 177 card was affected from top to bottom before anyone ever stepped foot in the cage. Not just with the last minute re-arrangement of the title fight, or the cancellation it caused of a prelim bout between Joe Soto and Anthony Birchak.

The UFC's venture into Mexico is off to a good start based on the numbers coming in from TUF Latin America and UFC 180.

Overnight numbers for Saturday night's UFC on FOX 12 show were the second lowest in the series history, but with the main event starting at 9:53 p.m. and the overnights only covering up until 10 p.m.,, the final number would be expected to be considerably higher. The numbers are in for UFC on FOX 12 and the preliminary figures are 2.02 million viewers and an 0.8 in the coveted 18-49 demographic, according to TV By The Numbers.

The Present & Future Use of Palace Soestdijk
I hope that Maxima and Willem-Alexander will be living there. It is such a wonderful palace! But an expensive restoration in order to reside the cronwprince and princess is out of the question I think. They just settled in Wassenaar (which was quite expensive as well) and it would be more practical for them to live near The Hague.
Anyway, if I had my way they would move in and Constantijn and Laurentien could use the villa in Wassenaar?
The Present & Future Use of Palace Soestdijk
Today minister Sybilla Dekker will announce what will be done with Palace Soestdijk in the future. The goverment has decided on friday in the cabinetmeeting about this matter. The family owned it since 1674 (bought by stadholder Willem III), in 1971 Juliana and Bernhard sold the palace to the state.
Article in dutch:
About Soestdijk: the minister announced that the palace will be open for the public the next 3 years. For 12,5 euros you can visit it. It is not clear what will happen to the palace afterwards, the RF has made it clear they do NOT want to live there or use it as a building for guests :(
What a waste....
I read yesterday in ´Metro´ that Palace Soestdijk is the most likely building where the goverment will locate the ´National Museum´.
Under the circumstances one of the best destinations possible for the palace IMO.
Dear Marengo, this National Museum wil not be located in Palace Soestdijk, but in The Hague.
Well, that is what the newspaper said. I believe there are still more cities competing for the museum btw, but it would be an appropriate role for Soestdijk, if it would never be used as a palace again.
Soestdijk Palace will be opened to the public in a few months. It is possible to book your tickets online (and read about the history of the palace to) on:
The visits to Palace Soestdijk are rather p[opular. Today I read an article about the palace in sevberal newspapers. Already over 35.000 people visited the palace and apparently there is a waiting list if you want a tour (you can enroll on the website). For April, May and June all guided tours are fully 'booked'. The problem is that they can only do 25 tours a day of +/- 15 people, so hence the waiting.
I think they are all in Dutch. The website is all in Dutch anyway and it doesn't have any information on the language of tours. But if you want to be sure you can e-mail email@example.com
From expatica:
So did any of our members visit the Palace? A friend of mine went there and was terribly disappointed, everything was much smaller than he expected and in a poor state.
The garden/park is wonderfull,could dwell there for hours,which I did/do.The only things in poor state are the youngsters serving refreshments in the former Orangerie,they look as if they've not quite understood that putting one foot for the other makes one move faster,still waiting for my "Anna Pavlovna" complet,haven't got a clue what it is,yet.
The gift-shop in the old water tower is well-stocked and has some gems,or rather had,until I saw them....
The goverment still has not found another destination for Soestdijk Palace. The Prime Minister said that in a debate in parlament. The goverment kept postponing it since Dec. 2006 ansd it seems they will keep doing so for the time being.
Before it can be used either as a Palace,as I hope,or anything else,
the whole place needs a complete overhaul,everything,from the basement to the roof.
Will take at least 4 years if not more.
I don't think that is an option (part-time use), the RF is already under scrutiny for their costs at the moment. The only way they can justify a complete renovation for the RF is when WA and Maxima would go and live there. I don't think they will, the palace is too public and one hour+ away from The Hague.
The government is just clueless about what to do with the building if the RF doesn't want it anymore, personally i wouldn't know what else to do with it either actually, I do hope it will remain property of the state and will have a royal-related or at least state-related function. So no golf resort or conference center svp.
It would be sad if it was to be sold, and therefore no longer the state's property.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers (8-12, 2-5) returns to rugged road of the American Athletic Conference to meet Temple (5-13, 0-7) in a 7 p.m. tip-off on Wednesday (Jan. 29). It is approximately a 70-mile drive from the RAC to the 10,206-seat Liacouras Center on North Broad Street in Philadelphia. The Scarlet Knights will be seeking a return to the win column and their initial road victory of the season. The Owls will be working to earn their first league victory after seven straight defeats to begin the conference campaign.
The game will be televised live nationally on ESPNU with Mike Crispino calling the action and Bruce Pearl providing the analysis. On the radio, the contest will be broadcast live on the Rutgers IMG Sports Network, WOR 710 AM in New York and WCTC 1450 AM in New Brunswick. Chris Carlin will serve as play-by-play announcer and Dick Lloyd will provide commentary. On satellite radio, the game will be on Sirius 134 and XM 193. WRSU (88.7 FM) will also broadcast the game.
Wednesday evening's contest marks the 52nd meeting between the schools dating back to 1920, with Temple holding a 32-19 advantage in victories. The Scarlet Knights are 2-1 at the Liacouras Center and handed TU its first loss at the arena in a 72-63 decision on Dec. 20, 1997. The last meeting at the venue resulted in a 77-54 Temple victory on Nov. 29, 2006. The Scarlet Knights defeated the Owls in their first match-up this season, 71-66, at the RAC on New Year's Day. Junior forward Kadeem Jack (Queens, N.Y.) shot 8-of-12 to score 18 points, including 14 in the second half, as Rutgers out-scored TU 34-26 in the paint in a contest that featured nine ties and 20 lead changes. RU scored the game's final six points and limited Temple to 33.3 percent (24-of-72) shooting.
As a player at Rutgers, current head coach Eddie Jordan had a 2-1 record versus the Owls. Jordan and teammate Mike Dabney both had six steals in a 96-62 victory over Temple at the Palestra during the 1975-76 Final Four season.
Jack had a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds, but it was not enough as Rutgers dropped an 82-71 decision to Connecticut this past Saturday night before a sold-out RAC. He shot 4-of-9 from the floor, made 11-of-14 free throws, and issued four blocks. Jack was joined in double figures by junior guard Jerome Seagears (Silver Springs, Md.) and freshman forward Junior Etou (Republic of Congo). Seagears contributed 17 points and six assists off the bench, while Etou pitched in 10 points. The Scarlet Knights were out-scored 34-12 in the paint.
Temple, under the leadership of eighth-year head coach Fran Dunphy, came all the way back from a 19-point deficit against No. 15/16 Cincinnati, but could not pull ahead and lost 80-76 at home on Sunday afternoon. Senior guard Dalton Pepper finished with a career-high 33 points, including a career-best eight three-pointers, and scored 27 points in the second half. He averages 17.9 points-per-game, which ranks third in the AAC. The Owls have four players ranked among the league's top scorers, including Will Cummings (sixth, 16.3), Quenton DeCosey (eighth, 15.7) and Anthony Lee (11th, 14.1).

Google is ending its search advertising partnership with Yahoo. It was never even implemented. Concerns over antitrust issues rose fast and furious since Google + Yahoo = an enormous chunk of the search ad market.
Groups of advertisers spurred on by Microsoft lobbied the Department of Justice to oppose the deal. But they might have just facilitated the search market going from 5 major engines to 4, providing less competition.
Yahoo is in dire straits and desperately needed this influx of cash. It's looking more and more likely that their stock could drop (fairly or unfairly) to single digits, at which point Microsoft could get a great deal on a company they once offered $31 a share for.
Take that number 4 and reduce it to 3 if a Yahoo-AOL merger occurs before the (inevitable?) acquisition.
Both Google and Yahoo are saying that the cancellation of the deal won't affect their commitment to search innovation.

Albert Cabrera, 48, a dentist in Riverside, has been charged with incest and raping a person under the influence of a controlled substance. Seems he, his teenage daughter and the girl's stepmother had gone out for dinner, came back home and started drinking. A lot. Until the young lady became ill and went to the bathroom to be sick.
She states that she remembers seeing her father in the bathroom with her, and then waking up in her bedroom with her father having sex with her. She later confronted Al in a telephone call taped by the Riverside Sheriff's Department where not only did he not deny any of it, he threw out this little gem:
The defendant instead alleged the girl had been sending him signals and "perhaps wanted to have sex with him as a way of father-daughter bonding," documents said.Your own daughter? Talk about rationalization.
Yeah, this is just the guy you want knocking you out for a root canal.

In California, children who are 5 years old by Dec. 2 are allowed to start kindergarten. Starting next school year, that is all set to change.
The 's board of trustees voted unanimously Monday to offer a "transitional kindergarten" for students who won't be 5 by Nov. 1 for the 2012-13 school year.
The change is in response to a new law the Legislature passed in 2010, which requires school districts across the state to enroll kindergartners only if they are 5 years old by Sept. 1, by 2015-16. School districts have three years to roll back the enrollment age in phases and must start by next year.
"California is one of the few states in the nation that doesn't require 5 [years old] by Sept. 1," said Julie Hatchel, assistant superintendent of education services. Research shows that students who turn 5 in September, October or November do better waiting a year before starting kindergarten.
The transitional kindergarten, in essence, will give students born in these months two years of kindergarten, Hatchel said. However, parents could choose to just sit out the year.
"It's optional for parents to enroll their children in a [transitional kindergarten] program, but it's not optional for us to offer it," she told the trustees.
Looking at the demographics of this year's kindergarten class, 281 students would have qualified for the transitional kindergarten with a Nov. 1 enrollment cutoff date, Hatchel said. An Oct. 1 cutoff date would have added 348 more students, while a Sept. 1 deadline would have added 312 more students, for a total of 941 children in transitional kindergarten classes.
Hatchel said the district had the option of immediately switching to a 5-years-by-Sept. 1 requirement next year. However, such a drastic change would require the district to find 31 new classrooms across the district, make large furniture purchases and potentially lose some students to other districts which don't plan to make a fast changeover.
Trustee Lynn Hatton urged the board to go with the slower transition. "Generally, I feel when things are rushed … it's not going to be as successful," she said.
Hatchel said the slower start allows the district to develop the curriculum and pilot the program, which will be taught by fully credentialed teachers.
Trustee John Alpay noted that because the district is starting out with a smaller program, parents who choose to take advantage of the transitional kindergarten class may have to drive to a non-neighborhood school to find one. With just 281 potential students, that means only nine classrooms are needed across the 195-square-mile district.
In other business, the board:
- Changed the from West View Academy to California Preparatory Academy. Newly seated student adviser Ryan Pallas said the new name "opens it up to statewide [students]. That's a better decision." The vote was 5-2, with Trustees Sue Palazzo and Ellen Addonizio against.
- Voted to hire a consultant to train the district in how to conduct "interested-based bargaining" for upcoming negotiating sessions with the California School Employees Association. The board awarded the $30,000 contract to Barber & Gonzales Consulting Group of Granite Bay.
- Introduced to the public three newly appointed high school principals: Jason Allemann of Dana Hills High, who is a 1988 graduate of the Dana Point campus; Kevin Astor of Capistrano Valley High and Chris Carter of Aliso Niguel High.

Tierazon Fractals by Jane In Color
at Fickr will blow your mind.
Tierazon 65, for example looks like the cover of a sci-fi novel about mind travel to other dimensions. Just add title.
Tierazon 46 could be called Interplanetary Germplasam.
Tierazon 45 reminds me of Dr Who's crack in the wall.
Tierazon 30 could be Every Decision Buds Another Universe
She has some surreal real bubble pictures too, which contain fractals.
Soap Film 51 seems to belong in the realm of Mandelbrot Sets, where selfsimilar bits bud off into new dimensions. It's real, but wow- isn't that too surreal to be real?

Flambeau (WQOW) - A school that was plagued by bomb threats last year has another one. Rusk County investigators were called to the Flambeau School Tuesday morning. School officials found writing on a boy's bathroom wall that said "Boom--4:50."
The school activated its emergency preparedness plan, and the building was searched. Nothing was found. Detectives don't have any suspects at this point.
Last year the school had four or five bomb threats. Some of those remain unsolved.

Speeding costs more than it's worth
The warm weather and long days are here, which brings open windows, loud music and long drives to beaches, ball games, concerts or adventurous road trips. Whatever the reason, this time of the year has people driving longer and further on our roads. Too bad gas prices are high, and continue to climb!
An easy way to save at the pump is to visit it less. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have to use your car less; it just means that you should think about using it differently – don't speed. You'll be happy with the savings. It's that simple.
The fast lane on the highway usually moves around 115-120 kph, even though the speed limit is 100 kph. It's always tempting to hop into that lane and cruise at a faster speed to reach your destination sooner. But, how much sooner are you really getting there? Why rush there when you can leave a few minutes earlier for the same effect? I know, I know – easier said than done.
But let's break this down. Say your daily commute is 20km of highway driving. At 120 kph, that takes you 10 minutes. Now, if you dropped your speed down to 100 kph, that commute would now take you… drum roll please… 12 minutes; only 2 minutes longer!
Now, the next time you're driving on the highway, take a look at your tachometer and notice your engine revving when you're driving at 100 kph – probably around 2500 rpm for most. However, at 120 kph, your engine is spinning at 3000 rpm or higher. That means your engine is running 20 percent faster and burning 20 percent more fuel.
Living with that 2 minute commute extension will save you (depending of your mix of highway and city driving) up to 20 percent at the pump. So, if you're filling up after 500 km, you can now enjoy an extra 100 km and fill up each 600 km instead. That's a good deal, if you ask me. That 2 minutes extension is saving you hundreds per year.
Think about it.

Execution plan jeopardizes hospitals
ST. LOUIS — Hundreds of Missouri anesthesiologists urged the state on Monday not to use propofol in an upcoming execution, saying the fallout could jeopardize the availability of the anesthetic relied on by thousands of U.S. hospitals and clinics.
The Missouri Society of Anesthesiologists statement followed an Associated Press report last week citing possible European export controls if propofol is used in a U.S. execution. Missouri is the only U.S. state where prison officials plan to use the powerful anesthetic for a lethal injection, citing a shortage in the drugs usually used for executions.
Propofol is far and away the most commonly used anesthetic in the U.S., and around 85 percent of it is made in Europe. The European Union opposes the death penalty and is weighing whether to limit export, raising concerns about a potential shortage in the U.S.
"We urge the Department of Corrections not to jeopardize the safety of over 50 million patients who rely on this critical medication for anesthesia during surgery each year," MSA president Dr. Larry Petersen said in a statement. "A shortage of this medication will take the medical specialty of anesthesiology back 20 years, leading to more complications in the operating room, an increased rate of nausea and vomiting after surgery, and extended time required to wake up from anesthesia after a procedure," he said.
The MSA— which represents more than 800 physician anesthesiologists, along with their residents and assistants — said the debate is not about capital punishment, but simply about propofol.
The German company that makes most of the propofol, Fresenius Kabi, launched a website specifically to address the ramifications of using propofol in a U.S. execution. The Food and Drug Administration also has expressed concern about any move that could affect access to propofol, calling it a "critical need."

Emma Stone by Patrick Demarchelier for Vogue UK
Rihanna tells Harper's Bazaar how her past has made her to view love:
"When I was in love, I fell so hard…The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I'd feel that pain in my life. I'm afraid of feeling that again."
Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell on what she wishes she knew when she was 17 years old:
"Growing up, I wish I hadn't tried so hard to fit in. I'd tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it's beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It's tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get."
Andrew Garfield on his first impression of now-girlfriend Emma Stone during her screen test for The Amazing Spider-Man:
"It was like I woke up when she came in. She was the last person to screen-test, and I was so bored of it by then that I was mucking about—I'd been pretending I was Tom Hanks or Seth Rogen. And then she came in, and it was like diving into white-water rapids and having no desire to hang on to the side. Throughout shooting, it was wild and exciting. I couldn't help but try to stay with her, keep pace with her, and not let her get away. [Laughs] Like an animal preying on a smaller animal, but a wily smaller animal."
Katie Holmes on soon-to-be ex-husband Tom Cruise: "He has been Tom Cruise for 30 years…I know who I am and where I am and where I want to go, so I want to focus on that."

Scrooge, that's why.
To call for "investing abroad" may conflate two possible factors in wealth creation: 1) Average economic growth in emerging markets that outstrips average growth in more developed economies, such as the United States. 2) Appropriation of state resources or cooption of regulations by plutocrats through their close (friendly or even family) relationships with political actors that allow them to achieve returns that are impossible to achieve in a more transparent, entrepreunerial, competitive environment such as the U.S. So, it seems to me two paths are possible for U.S. wealth-holders: 1) Invest abroad in open markets through advisors who really know what they're doing (and who are hard to find), 2) Transform the U.S. economy into something more like the "crony capitalism" predominant in Mexico and similar economies. The Bank Bailouts of 2008-2009 strike me as an example of the latter approach. Is that what we really want to learn from Carlos Slim?
Capital goes where it is wanted, and stays where it is well treated.
The Congress would do well to be mindful of that. The USA is not the best investment deal going; we have competition.
Bloomberg didn't say gates net worth was 26 Billion, I did say that Gates PUBLICLY DISCLOSED HOLDINGS were 26 Billion. it's not the same right?
It's always a bit more complicated.
u can get to the topmost top if u want to
Love the spirit behind that comment Mr Otuoha. I am a firm believer in the power of the mind.
If we were all scrooges, then we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. Also, I have to agree with Keith. Slim has a very strong advantage with the monopoly he holds. And in a country like Mexico where kidnapping of the wealthy and their families are a common occurrence, everyone is in bed with each other just to stay alive. Tony Soprano is a more honest guy.
Mr. Rodriguez-
In Mexico we do not need to go to bed with each other to stay alive as you mentioned. Your reasoning only reflects your poor knowledge about the wealthy. Allow me to point that in order to stay alive in Mexico it is only needed to love this wonderful country. Good luck on your poor life.
I would like to know more about him, but that I cannot find here.
Carlos Slim's TELMEX has a monopoly over telecomunications in Mexico. It's not fair to compare him to American investors who are competing in an open market.
What about all of Slims lousy investments like Comp USA? Investing like Slim means wresting control of a state monopoly….
Nelson 'RODRIGUEZ" GET YOUR SELF EDUCATED!
well many say that carlos slim is at an advantage doing business in mexico , 1 he has the monopoly factor. 2 he is not taxed the same as if he lived in the U.S..3 He diversify's his wealth unlike his competitor's.
Well if Bill and Warren had the same opportunity, to live in a country that does not control your investments like america throught taxes and monetary distribution of wealth. They would jump at it. America as good a people say it is, dont realized how america strangles it's tax payer's throught policy. Carlos slim is very smart for staying in mexico. He saves for a rainy day and cashes in when the sun comes out. Lesson to be learned in america.
The tables are turning for america as wealth is re distributed in the world.
Corporate greed killed the american dream, and changed the american lifestyle for ever.
Lesson : dont bite the hand that feeds you
So as to slim he might be the man that changes the world for the better through his economic strategies and financial golden rules .
Mexican richest are truly Mexicans and love their country made their money in Mexico keep their money in Mexico. Americans meke their Money lobbying the government for money therefore sucking our money thru the bank systems then when paper money is about to run out because it can not be paid back the same rich people sell American wealth to china, Russia , Korea protecting their money and letting the rest of the American people pay those countries thru taxation at higher rates. Well how nice is that? We love our country very much!!….I've been sarcastic!

In the much anticipated matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers, it was Alex Smith out-dueling Aaron Rodgers to give the 49ers an early edge for the best overall-record in the NFC. Smith completed , the second of which gave the 49ers a 23-7 lead going into the 4th-quarter.
Rodgers and the Packers offense struggled for much of the day, but an electrifying 75-yard punt return for a touchdown cut the score to 23-15, but Rodgers threw a pick to Navarro Bowman with 9 minutes left, and Frank Gore rumbled into the endzone on a 23-yard TD run, and the 49ers held on for a 30-22 win in Green Bay after the PAckers drove to the San Fran 45-yard line, but turned the ball over on downs after an incomplete pass to Jordy Nelson. Alex Smith finished 20/26 for 211 yards and a pair of TDs, while Frank Gore had 116 yards and a TD on 16 rushes. Aaron Rodgers finished 30/44 for 303 and 2 TDs. It was the Packers' first home loss to SF since 1990.

|Making Silicon Valley: Innovation and the Growth of High Tech, 1930-1970 (Inside Technology)
|Christophe Lécuyer
|In Making Silicon Valley, Christophe Lécuyer shows that the explosive growth of the personal computer industry in Silicon Valley was the culmination of decades of growth and innovation in the San Francisco-area electronics industry. Using the tools of science and technology studies, he explores the formation of Silicon Valley as an industrial district, from its beginnings as the home of a few radio enterprises that operated in the shadow of RCA and other East Coast firms through its establishment as a center of the electronics industry and a leading producer of power grid tubes, microwave tubes, and semiconductors. He traces the emergence of the innovative practices that made this growth possible by following key groups of engineers and entrepreneurs. He examines the forces outside Silicon Valley that shaped the industry -- in particular the effect of military patronage and procurement on the growth of the industry and on the development of technologies -- and considers the influence of Stanford University and other local institutions of higher learning.Lécuyer argues that Silicon Valley's emergence and its growth were made possible by the development of unique competencies in manufacturing, in product engineering, and in management. Entrepreneurs learned to integrate invention, design, manufacturing, and sales logistics, and they developed incentives to attract and retain a skilled and motivated workforce. The largest Silicon Valley firms -- including Eitel-McCullough (Eimac), Litton Industries, Varian Associates, Fairchild Semiconductor, and Intel -- dominated the American markets for advanced tubes and semiconductors and, because of their innovations in manufacturing, design, and management, served as models and incubators for other electronics ventures in the area.
|Strategic Project Management Made Simple: Practical Tools for Leaders and Teams
|Terry Schmidt
|When Fortune Magazine estimated that 70% of all strategies fail, it also noted that most of these strategies were basically sound, but could not be executed. The central premise of Strategic Project Management Made Simple is that most projects and strategies never get off the ground because of adhoc, haphazard, and obsolete methods used to turn their ideas into coherent and actionable plans. Strategic Project Management Made Simple is the first book to couple a step-by-step process with an interactive thinking tool that takes a strategic approach to designing projects and action initiatives. Strategic Project Management Made Simple builds a solid platform upon four critical questions that are vital for teams to intelligently answer in order to create their own strong, strategic foundation. These questions are:1. What are we trying to accomplish and why?2. How will we measure success?3. What other conditions must exist?4. How do we get there?This fresh approach begins with clearly understanding the what and why of a project - comprehending the bigger picture goals that are often given only lip service or cursory reviews. The second and third questions clarify success measures and identify the risky assumptions that can later cause pain if not spotted early. The how questions - what are the activities, budgets, and schedules - comes last in our four-question system. By contrast, most project approaches prematurely concentrate on the how without first adequately addressing the three other questions. These four questions guide readers into fleshing out a simple, yet sophisticated, mental workbench called "the Logical Framework" - a Systems Thinking paradigm that lays out one's own project strategy in an easily accessible, interactive 4x4 matrix. The inclusion of memorable features and concepts (four critical questions, LogFrame matrix, If-then thinking, and Implementation Equation) make this book unique.

|L.A. Story: Immigrant Workers And the Future of the U.S. Labor Movement
|Ruth Milkman
|Sharp decreases in union membership over the last fifty years have caused many to dismiss organized labor as irrelevant in today's labor market. In the private sector, only 8 percent of workers today are union members, down from 24 percent as recently as 1973. Yet developments in Southern California—including the successful Justice for Janitors campaign—suggest that reports of organized labor's demise may be exaggerated. In L.A. Story, sociologist and labor expert Ruth Milkman explains how Los Angeles, once known as a company town hostile to labor, became a hotbed of unionism, and how immigrant workers emerged as the unlikely leaders in the battle for workers' rights. L.A. Story shatters many of the myths about modern labor with a close look at workers in four industries in Los Angeles: building maintenance, trucking, construction, and garment production. Though many blame deunionization and deteriorating working conditions on immigrants, Milkman shows that this conventional wisdom is wrong. Her analysis reveals that worsening work environments preceded the influx of foreign-born workers, who filled the positions only after native-born workers fled these suddenly undesirable jobs. Ironically, L.A. Story shows that immigrant workers, who many union leaders feared were incapable of being organized because of language constraints and fear of deportation, instead proved highly responsive to organizing efforts. As Milkman demonstrates, these mostly Latino workers came to their service jobs in the United States with a more group-oriented mentality than the native-born workers they replaced. Some also drew on experience in their native countries with labor and political struggles. This stock of fresh minds and new ideas, along with a physical distance from the east-coast centers of labor's old guard, made Los Angeles the center of a burgeoning workers' rights movement. L.A.'s recent history highlights some of the key ingredients of the labor movement's resurgence—new leadership, latitude to experiment with organizing techniques, and a willingness to embrace both top-down and bottom-up strategies. L.A. Story's clear and thorough assessment of these developments points to an alternative, high-road national economic agenda that could provide workers with a way out of poverty and into the middle class.

Justices Wrestle with ObamaCare's Forced Medicaid Expansion on the States – Is it Coercive?
Yesterday afternoon's argument on the constitutionality of ObamaCare's expansion of Medicaid began with critiques of the States' argument, but ended with several justices expressing concern about the federal government's use of its spending power over the States. This final oral argument on ObamaCare was the first to go over its allotted time. It was extended by nearly a half-hour of argument, much of which came from questions at the end of Paul Clement's argument ... Continue Reading

Justices Question ObamaCare's Ability to Stand
Today was the final day of oral arguments before the Supreme Court on ObamaCare. This morning the Justices heard oral arguments on the issue of severability – whether all of ObamaCare must be struck down if the individual mandate is found unconstitutional. The court heard several different arguments on this issue. The States, represented by the former Bush Administration Solicitor General, Paul Clement, argued that "[i]f the individual mandate is unconstitutional, then the rest of... Continue Reading
