You carry the Main KERA-TV programming / PBS, but there is also a second KERA channel, PBS World with different content, that I would like to see added. It is at 13.2 over-the-air.
I am new to cable TV, but was disappointed to find my new FIOS Prime HD installation does not include the PBS "World" channel, which appears on Dallas broadcast station KERA, channel 13-2. This is an excellent educational channel with content I have not found elsewhere.
Surely there must be others requesting this excellent channel.
I will join others in this forum that request the free channel called WORLD 13.2 KERA very interesting content not found on any other FIOs stations. Can it be added?
I assume you live in an area tha already gets KERA station to begin with?
If not, probably won't add an out of area station.

These numbers can't be accurate, because it also includes all the bot accounts, gold farmer accounts and toons that people make as bank alts as well as that char you made but just never played.
Anyway, I think popularity is number 1 variety, DKs are so popular because they are new and different. Also warlocks and hunters are less so because now most players have tried them out at least and want to move onto something different.
"it also includes all the bot accounts, gold farmer accounts and toons that people make as bank alts as well as that char you made but just never played."
No, they really, really don't. Read about how warcraftrealms.com does its census before criticizing its number, hm?
In order for a character to be seen on the warcraftrealms census, it has to have been online while someone with the client was actively taking a census. (Where census here is just an assload of systemized /who queries.) If the census client hasn't seen a particular character in a month or more, it removes that character from the list. Thus, "that char you made but just never played" is not on this list.
Also, the site allows you to filter results. These are limited to level 80 results, as you can see from the caption. Thus, "toons that people make as bank alts" are not on this list.
Bot accounts, gold farmer accounts? I'll give you those, but only the ones that are at level 80 and currently active. :)

Encrypting your Linux system with LUKS and ZFS
Troubleshooting and Dealing with Updates
In a complex installation like this, mistakes can happen. Repairing an encrypted system via Live media is somewhat more complicated than with a conventional Linux. The first step is to boot the from the Gentoo Live DVD or some other 64-bit Live medium that includes ZFS, then you can use
cryptsetup to access the LUKS device:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 cryptroot
Opening the ZFS pool is known in ZFS speak as "importing," and I will do this with the
-fN options, which ignore the host ID and prevent the automount, respectively:
zpool import -fN rpool
The following commands mount the system in
/mnt/gentoo (as during the installation) and mount the remaining ZFS filesystems below this hierarchy:
zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/gentoo rpool zfs mount rpool/ROOT zfs mount -a
From here, you can go through the familiar chroot steps and then fix the system. Before making a fresh attempt to boot, be sure to adjust the mountpoints by using the
zfs set mountpoint=/ rpool command.
Because of what are, in part, irregular SPL and ZFS kernel patches, future updates or upgrades require some attention. When a new kernel version arrives, just patch and compile on the active system. As with any other distribution, it is advisable to keep a working kernel on the system until the new one has proven its reliability.
Performance and Conclusions
Users of TrueCrypt and the like know that end-to-end encryption can affect performance if you need to read and write many small files. Thus, it makes sense to look at the data rates of the test system for this article. Like previous performance tests in Linux Magazine [9], the benchmark call here is:
iozone -r 4k -s 4g -i0 -i1
The total size of 4GB is adapted to the size of the test environment on the virtual machine. Figure 2 shows a direct comparison between ZoL and ZoL+LUKS.
Do not overinterpret the performance advantages and disadvantages measured in the different disciplines: First, measurements are prone to errors on virtual machines; second, many modern laptops use high-performance SSDs; third, desktop operations involve significantly more read actions than writes.
All told, the experience gained from this article indicates that any computer threatened by loss can be well encrypted with a little effort. This very modern setup works transparently for the user and the admin. Whether or not you want to invest in this amount of work should be measured against the risk of having your data fall into the hands of stranger.

Mike Potter, Simek's Inc.
Title: Vice president of operations and product development
Age: 54
Food industry veteran Mike Potter is cooking up ideas for new recipes and growth as the new vice president of operations and product development at frozen food maker Simek's Inc.
The position is a new one for Simek's, Potter said, and reflects the company's focus on growth under president and owner Lindsey Bruber. Bruber grew up in the family-owned Simek's before buying the company in 2010. Simek's, founded in 1972, is based in St. Paul Park.
Potter said he will look closely at consumer data in working with the Simek's team to develop new products.
"It's reacting to the data and reacting to the customer as they call in with questions or comments and using our website to engage with people and say, 'What can we do to make the product better?' " Potter said.
He will look to build on the success of Simek's market-leading frozen lasagna, which ranked as the top-selling frozen Italian entree last year in the Twin Cities, topping historical category leader, Stouffer's, according to Nielsen data. Simek's frozen meatball products hold a 64 percent market share.
Potter has more than three decades of industry experience. He previously worked as director of operations for the Second Harvest Heartland food bank and as division president of U.S. Foods. At Second Harvest, he was instrumental in doubling the volume of food distributed over the last four years and brought in a third-party food safety company to inspect operations.
Q: How did you double volume and bring other efficiencies to Second Harvest and what will that experience mean at Simek's?
A: We reconfigured the warehouse with new racking to double the volume without having to add any more space. We were able to lower costs in distribution by using a new computerized truck routing system. I'll bring those same things to Simek's to make sure we have the same commitment to food safety and operational efficiencies.
Q: What appealed to you about the opportunity to join Simek's?
A: I've known some of the ownership of the company for 15 or 20 years and I've respected them from a distance. I've found them to be very good businesspeople. They're committed to extremely high expectations on quality, focus on creating really delicious products and have a mentality of collecting very good data on how they make decisions.
Q: What does beating Stouffer's in frozen lasagna sales mean to Simek's?

WebMD Special Report: Modern Love
Relationships, Stress, and Your Health
Love in the Time of Caller ID
Not Tonight, Honey continued...
Often when we're absorbed in electronic communications we may be oblivious to how our actions hurt others, O'Neill says. He gives the hypothetical example of a father-and-son outing at a ball game. The father, talking on his cell phone, makes a distracted grab at a foul ball, but misses and goes on with the call as if nothing had happened.
"What could have been a significant bonding moment was derailed by the father's inability to disconnect from technology," O'Neill says.
Real-life examples also abound. Sue Hoogenstraat said that discovering her husband's virtual infidelity was "devastating" and that she felt devalued. Or as a New York Times reader identified as Luca wrote in response to an article about whether BlackBerry use enhances or inhibits family relationships, "We all know how emotionally difficult it is sometimes to switch between roles in a matter of minutes; I can hardly believe the BlackBerry helps in any way to accomplish that. I now carry a cell only when I am with my family; I want to be there and share emotions with them; with the 'berry' I felt like I was always plugged somewhere else somehow."
That strategy is a sound one, says O'Neill, who acknowledges that throwing out your cell phone is neither realistic nor, in the current age, practical.
"Instead, I think we have to take a step back and say, 'Wait a minute, is this what we really intended technology to do for us? To be this great interrupter? Or did we intend it to be something that benefits us, that allows us to stay connected?'" he says.
O'Neill counsels his patients to develop rules and set limits on their use of technology, pointing out that there's no substitute for personal attention and simple human contact.
"In the end," he says, "we need to be present in both mind and body to build and maintain healthy relationships."

40 Under Forty ceremony a gathering of success
U.S. Army Capt. Daniel Meegan's absence was excused because of another honor. The Rollinsford native is studying at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School in North Carolina.
"He's just done a wonderful job and to see him in the company of such great young people, it was just incredible. I'm proud of him and everyone else," said his mother, Janet Meegan, who accepted the plaque for her son and received a standing ovation on her way back to her seat.
"I had a hard time walking back. I appreciated that. That was unexpected."
New Hampshire Union Leader Publisher Joseph W. McQuaid welcomed the crowd of more than 300 people attending the ceremony at the Grappone Conference Center. This is the 12th straight year the newspaper has recognized a group of 40 people under the age of 40. The Class of 2013 included 25 men and 15 women, all nominated by friends or peers for their contributions to communities throughout the state.
"Its members include 20 New Hampshire-born sons and daughters, which is pretty impressive because most everyone in New Hampshire is from somewhere else," McQuaid quipped, drawing chuckles from the audience.
Gov. Maggie Hassan was unable to attend, but sent her congratulations in a written message via Executive Council member Colin Van Ostern, who was also one of the 40 honorees.
"I've had a number of friends who I've nominated for this over the past 10 years so it's really special for me to be recognized in the same way," Van Ostern said.
A brief biography for every recipient was read as the honorees made their way to the front of the banquet room to receive the honorary plaque and pose for pictures.
Former Gov. John Lynch, only three months out of office, was one of the presenters and joked that McQuaid had suggested he bring his resume and network during the banquet with some of the state's young leaders.
"I don't think there's anything more noble that we can do than make a difference in the lives of other people and that's what you all are doing every day," Lynch said.
The event was cosponsored by Citizens Bank and the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire. BIA board chairman John Morison shared introduction duties with McQuaid as all 40 recipients were recognized.
Joe Carelli, president of Citizens Bank New Hampshire, also congratulated the honorees during a brief round of opening remarks.
"Our 40 honorees are part of a very elite group," Carelli said. "Each one of you has left and will continue to leave a very lasting impression on our state. Thank you for your contributions."

How can we simplify legal/business language?
What would it take for governments and businesses to adopt plain language in their communications with citizens and consumers? What's happening now, in your country or community, that could also work for others?
This Live Conversation will open at 2.30 pm EST on January 26th, 2012.
EDIT: Because of overwhelming enthusiastic responses, this conversation open for few more days. Sandra will be checking your comments from time to time and follow up with them. Thank you for participating!

Jan 26 2012: Hi Sandra,
Interesting topic!
We've got quite a cool project related to language simplification at Memorial University (in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada) where I work.
It's called Yaffle.ca and it's an online database of projects and research from the university. Researchers are asked to provide lay summaries of their work: once submitted, the summaries are edited to make them understandable to a general audience.
The ultmate goal of the project is to help communities and regions in our province access the wealth of knowledge based at the university. Our take is that, if the people who need this information can't access research because of difficult wording, then we're not making the most of it.
Jan 26 2012: This sounds great, Rebecca.
Someone mentioned a similar idea to me recently, but they were coming from another perspective (not different, but complementary): many research projects get public funding, but their results are not accessible to the public due, in part, to the language used. In their opinion, a plain language summary should be part of the funding criteria.
I'd love to talk to you more about this project. Please email em at sandra [dot] martins [at] portuguesclaro [dot] pt

The Wall Street Journal, in association with New York University, is now accepting applications for the 2013 Wall Street Journal Asia Fellowship. The Fellowship provides promising journalists from Asia with the opportunity to participate in the three-semester masters program in the Business & Economic Reporting program at NYU's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute.
Candidates must have at least one year's experience working in Asia at an English-language publication and be fluent in English and at least one Asian language. A team of Journal editors working in conjunction with NYU professors will select one or more fellows for the program.
Entering its ninth year, the Fellowship has enabled a number of working journalists in Asia to come to New York to study journalism at a top research university. The BER program features a unique interdisciplinary curriculum of both journalism and MBA courses. With a low 5:1 student-to-faculty ratio, the program provides intellectual rigor as well as hands-on mentoring for 15 hand-picked students.
The Fellowship covers tuition and fees for two of the three semesters of the program, as well as a stipend of US$24,000 to cover travel to New York, living expenses, at least one trip home, as well as incidental costs such as textbooks. Previous fellows have gone on to staff positions at the Journal and other major news organizations in the U.S. and Asia.
For more information about the program, contact: Prof. Adam L. Penenberg, assistant director, Business and Economic Reporting program at NYU at email@example.com
Who is eligible to apply?
- Full-time journalists currently working in Asia, with a minimum of one year's experience at a print or electronic publication.
- At least one of those years should have been at an English-language publication.
- Candidates must also be fluent in an English and an Asian language, and possess a four-year undergraduate degree or a three-year undergraduate degree plus one year of graduate work.
- Employees (including immediate family members and/or those living in the same household of each) of Dow Jones or NYU, or their affiliates and subsidiaries are not eligible.
I'm not based in Asia. Can I still apply? No. Unfortunately, applications are restricted to journalists currently based in Asia.
I'm not a full-time journalist. Can I still apply? No. Unfortunately, applications are restricted to full-time journalists.
I don't work for an English-language publication. Can I still apply? The judges may, at their discretion, consider applications from candidates who do not have work experience at an English-language publication. Such candidates must have demonstrated a high level of fluency in English. Such candidates may be required to make additional submissions and may be required to take a written and oral English test. These requirements are in addition to the GRE and TOEFL tests required of all candidates to test their fluency in English.
I'm worried I'm overqualified. Can I still apply? Yes. The BER program has helped well-experienced journalists deepen and broaden their understanding of complex business issues, as well as hone their reporting and writing skills. Interacting with the other students from around the world, and studying and working in the financial capital of the world, has helped a number of students launch new careers and provided them with better opportunities to excel in a fast-growing and exciting area.
I'm worried I'm underqualified. Can I still apply? Yes. The Fellowship is designed to help promising journalists fulfil their potential; while applicants with strong experience will have an advantage, journalists who demonstrate journalism smarts, drive, ambition and commitment stand an excellent chance as well. The judges will be looking for journalists with a passion for business journalism and evidence that they can and will take full advantage of this opportunity – whether in clips, story ideas, personal essay or an interview. Work experience is a definite plus, but isn't the only criteria.
Can I apply online? No. All applications must be sent by mail. (See below for email address)
What is the procedure for applying? Applying for the fellowship involves several steps:
- First, interested journalists must submit required materials to the judges. Candidates can email the material (PDFs only!) to Prof. Adam Penenberg: email@example.com or mail it to the address printed below.
- Second, the judges read the materials and identify the leading candidates. These candidates are interviewed in Asia by Dow Jones correspondents and are given a writing test.
- Third, the judges identify the finalists, who are interviewed by phone.
- Fourth, one or more finalists submit applications to NYU and take the GRE and TOEFL. The fellowship offer is not officially made until NYU accepts the candidate for admission.
- A one-page resume, written in English, detailing work and educational experience.
- Three to five published articles written in English.
- The judges would prefer that at least two of the articles be longer enterprise features. In general, the articles should be chosen to demonstrate your reporting, writing and analytical skills. They need not be focused on business or financial topics, although such articles would be preferable.
- A 200- 300-word memo describing an article you would like to pursue on a business topic of significance to a broader international readership.
- The memo should lay out the thesis of the article, offer some supporting evidence for the thesis, detail how you would pursue the story, and explain why the topic is of relevance to a global audience.
- An original 1,000-word essay written in English.
- The 1,000-word essay must be written entirely by you without any assistance in composition or editing. It will be judged both as a piece of writing and as evidence of your aspirations, interests, abilities, and experience. It should be specific and detailed enough to communicate a concrete sense of your character and capability. You must write out and sign the following statement: I did not receive assistance of any kind in the composition and editing of this essay.
- In the essay, tell us about yourself. What were your key inspirations in your life and as a journalist? How did you come to have an interest in business journalism, and what role do you see it playing as part of the media? What are your hopes and dreams as a journalist, whether or not you win this Fellowship? How will the NYU program help you accomplish your goals if you are selected? And what will you bring to the program? Tell us also about your interests outside of journalism. What are your broader goals in life?
- Transcripts of any university you have attended; GRE and TOEFL score reports if you have already taken these tests; names of three people who can recommend you, including the following contact information: address, phone number, and email address.

Envelopes should be marked: "The Wall Street Journal Asia Fellowship at NYU." Don't forget to include an e-mail address with your contact information. Allow plenty of time for the package to arrive. Dow Jones is not responsible for late, lost, misdirected, or ineligible applications that are not received on time.
Will I get my application materials back? No. All application materials become the property of Dow Jones and will not be returned.
Do I need to apply separately for a place on the program? Only finalists for the fellowship will be required to apply to NYU. The fellowship is not officially awarded until the judges have selected a finalist and that person has been accepted for admission to NYU.
Is there any other way to get funding towards the NYU business journalism program? The fellowship is very competitive, and inevitably a number of highly qualified candidates will be disappointed. So we encourage those who are applying for the WSJ Fellowship to also apply directly for admission to NYU's program in Business and Economic Reporting, which would enable those who are not offered the fellowship to compete for admission and potentially a scholarship award directly from NYU. The school's scholarship awards are not as generous as the fellowship, but over the years they have enabled journalists from Asia and around the world to study in the BER program. Online application is here.
What is the fellowship? It's a program funded by The Wall Street Journal, in association with New York University, for one or two promising journalists from Asia to enroll in the three-semester masters program in business and economic reporting at the NYU's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. The intensive sixteen-month program, which has graduated a number of Journal and Dow Jones Newswires reporters in recent years, features a unique interdisciplinary curriculum of both journalism and MBA courses and a remarkably low 5:1 student-to-faculty ratio, providing both intellectual rigor as well as hands-on mentoring for a dozen hand-picked students. Candidate submissions will be judged by a team of Journal editors working in conjunction with NYU professors.
What is included in the fellowship? The Fellowship covers tuition expenses and fees for two of the three semesters of the program. The fellow will receive a stipend of approximately $11,800 for each semester of the fellowship. The Fellowship covers travel to New York as well as some incidental costs, such as textbooks. Previous fellows have reported that this adequately covers living expenses and at least one trip home.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of enforcement at the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday defended the agency's record for bringing credit crisis cases and raised concerns about the agency's tight budget.
SEC Enforcement Division Director Rob Khuzami told an audience Friday that he knows the agency has faced criticism from those who feel it has not done enough to bring cases against misconduct by firms during the financial crisis. But he dismissed those claims, citing cases the agency has brought against an array of companies, including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Countrywide and the Reserve Primary Fund.
"The division's performance in this area has been extraordinary," he said. "Credit crisis cases continue to be a priority in the division."
He added that the budget squeeze is causing strain on the agency. The agency is currently stuck at fiscal year 2010 levels while Congress haggles over how much to appropriate to the agency.

Chetham's School of Music
Chetham's School of Music (Chets) and Gabrieli are delighted to continue their ongoing relationship as part of Gabrieli's outreach work. Read on for thoughts from Paul McCreesh and others on past projects with the the largest specialist Music School in the UK and the only Music School based in the North of England.
Click on the links to your left for details on each Gabrieli-Chetham's project and selected photos.
Paul McCreesh on working with Chetham's
It's a huge challenge for me, but also without doubt some of the most rewarding work I can do. I try never to give information, but always to ask questions. ("So why have I stopped the orchestra?" is one of my favourites.) What I am trying to do is to develop intellectual and emotional curiosity. The level of regular teaching at Chets is very high, but Gabrieli projects offer a different perspective on musical development; part of this is 'historical' (…actually it's nothing to do with history – it's about being musical).
I can't express the deep joy of seeing seven teenage horn players mastering the hand horn – the wildest of all instruments. Or the brilliant (all girl!) trumpet section playing the old 'nats' with fantastic aplomb and raising the roof as Elijah is whisked up to heaven. Or the beauty of the string players cutting out constant vibrato and playing expressively in a way which shame some of our duller professional orchestras. Or seeing young wind players grow a foot taller in confidence as they played their solos in the week. Or seeing the choir – a spirited instrument, but one of untrained singers – come to realise that singing isn't the soft option, but a wonderful vibrant experience which complements their instrumental studies in a crucial way. Of course not everything is technically perfect, but the level of musical understanding and feeling is often deeply moving.
I always try to avoid the word 'educational'. The word is simply not appropriate because the gain is entirely two-way. For me, and I trust my colleagues, these projects are not about what we give to young musicians, but as much about what we gain both as artists and as human beings. It's a real exchange – a sense of redefining what it is to be a musician, the chance to share a love of a great art with the next generation, and to be contented in oneself about what is a great gift.
As I get older I want to spend more of my time working in such environments, and I think the value of the great musicians in Gabrieli is that so many of them have great skills apart from playing and singing beautifully. Of course I love conducting great orchestras, but there is something in this kind of work which nourishes my soul in a way which is so much harder to find in the cut and thrust of the professional world. I want to find ways to develop such projects so they become a national resource for the next generation.

2012 Victories: The Constitution Protects Nativity Scenes on Public Land
This is the latest installment in a year-end series looking back at a few of the hundreds of victories by the ACLJ in 2012.
As Christmas approaches, we see them in storefronts, on lawns, and at city halls and town squares all across America. Yet in one small middle America city, the Crèche or Nativity Scene was not allowed on city leased property during. The city refused to allow a live nativity during a public festival in December.
Earlier this year, we worked with a local city council member in drafting an ordinance that would reflect that religious speech, including a Nativity Scene, is constitutionally protected on public property. The ordinance passed unanimously to allow the display of Nativity Scenes on public property. We are actively engaged in cities and towns, large and small alike, to ensure that religious liberty and freedom of speech are protected this Christmas season.
To help the ACLJ continue to have the resources we need to make these victories possible and continue these fights, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the ACLJ through our year-end Matching Challenge. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar though the end of the year.

PRINCETON, N.J. (UPI) — President Barack Obama averaged 45.8 percent job approval rating during his fifth year in office, down more than 2 percentage points from 2012, Gallup said.
Obama's fifth year began strongly with consistent majority approval, but declined over the course of 2013, results of the Gallup poll released Tuesday indicated.
Historically, Obama's fifth-year approval average is in the lower range, similar to President George W. Bush's 45.7 percent, but lower than those for Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said.
In the 20th quarter of Obama's Presidency — Oct. 20, 2013 to Jan. 19, 2014 — Obama averaged 41.2 percent job approval, slightly above his worst quarter — the 11th of his Presidency — in which an average 41 percent of Americans said they approved.
Results for Obama's fifth year in office are based on nationwide telephone interviews with 179,032 adults conducted Jan. 20, 2013 and Jan. 19, 2014 as part of the Gallup Daily tracking survey. The margin of error is 1 percentage point.
Results for the 20th quarter poll are based on nationwide telephone interviews with 42,335 adults conducted Oct. 20, 2013 to Jan. 19, 2014. The margin of error is 1 percentage point.

that pin that is located where the sight pivots is how you take the rear sight off. the housing will still be there, but all the scope mounts i've seen attach to that housing.
that one pin may be hard to move the first time you try it as it has probably been in place for like 70 years, but it will come out. just brace the gun and be careful but at the same time use a little force and it will come out.
It will come out with a punch and hammer.. Just be prepared when it does release since it is under a little bit of preasure from the leaf spring. The scout mount should have come with instructions on how to remove the original sight I would think.

Thanks for the responses guys. I have not yet bought the scope pack so I did not have directions to follow. I ended up using a tiny eyeglasses screwdriver to push the pin out after reading yalls responses, no damage no worries.
happy hunting

The two local "Celebrity Apprentice" contestants made Atlanta proud during Sunday night's episode. As opposing project managers, both NeNe Leakes (for the women's team ASAP) and Lil Jon (for the men's team Backbone) created well-liked commercials for telecommunications company ACN.
Unfortunately, one team had to lose and it was NeNe's. But NeNe was not on the chopping block. Instead, it was contentious, wearily stubborn 70-year-old Dionne Warwick.
While the concept of the show is really nothing more than "The Surreal Life" dressed up with business tasks, it does reveal interesting aspects of celebrities we wouldn't otherwise see. Sadly for Warwick, a beloved R&B legend, we saw a cranky, unpleasant woman who didn't always pull her weight on tasks.
During this task, Warwick's downfall was deciding to cut out early on NeNe's team while they were editing the commercial. In the boardroom, when she heard that Hope Dworaczyk and NeNe thought she was the weakest player, she threw up her hands and said no mas. Trump hates that type of behavior and she was out.
Even worse, after hugging NeNe goodbye outside the boardroom, she called NeNe a "coward, baby," for not telling the truth. But NeNe was telling the truth. Dionne told her straight out, "I'm going!" and didn't ask to leave, like she portrayed it.
In the post-elimination cab ride, Warwick showed her passive-aggressive nature by saying: "Sometimes ladies have a habit of not quite being straight up. I just don't like craziness — unless I'm the crazy one!"
Otherwise, we saw the assertive, positive sides of NeNe we grew to love on "Real Housewives of Atlanta," not her angry side. She was focused, on task and showed leadership skills as project manager. She delegated well and realized quickly that only Marlee Matlin and Star Jones on her team were really useful in terms of the real work. LaToya Jackson was left with time management while Hope and Dionne handled props.
During the boardroom, Matlin was deeply impressed by NeNe as a video director: "You're one of the best directors I've ever worked with. She listens. She's very approachable, very accommodating. She was a star!"
Trump joked, "You're going to ruin your image!"
ACN wanted the two teams to create 30-second televised ads for its video phone. The teams took entirely different approaches. With the ACN executives emphasizing emotion over functionality, NeNe's team decided to go the emotional route. They had a daughter in France kibitzing with her parents in the United States via video phone. Her mom happens to be a deaf, Academy Award-winning Marlee Matlin signing her way through a conversation. It worked.
But the men, led by Lil Jon, opted for humor. The set up is a son announcing to his parents that he is getting married but the kicker is his fiance is a dude, a dude that looks like Jose Canseco. Canseco already wore a dress during the second challenge. Now he added eye liner and had his hair primped up to play "Pedro." It was actually funny and management thought it could go viral.
Lil Jon, ever the MC, was a lively host, hyping up the ACN crowd. He also got praise from Richard Hatch, of all people, as a leader."He was efficient. He was effective. The man manages beautifully. He tasks people. He listens to people. He organizes in a way that is commendable."
Lil Jon defended his choice of commercial in the face of Trump's contention they were being too risque. "I've been in business for many years," he explained. "The people who succeed are those who take chances. ACN has all the same kinds of commercials. They came to us for something different. Their slogan is life without boundaries. That means thinking outside the box. If they don't like this commercial, they need to change their slogan. I put all on black in Vegas. Sometimes, you gotta take chances!"
In the end, Lil Jon was right: 53 percent of the 450 ACN employees preferred the men's commercial over the women's safer route.
And Lil Jon won $40,000 for his charity: Decatur's United Methodist Children's Home, a safe haven for abused children and youth.
Other notable moments:
- The women at the start of the show were still reeling from the previous task, which cost them Niki Taylor. "We lost against Gary Busey," NeNe exclaimed. "How did that happen?" Mark McGrath felt his team won despite Busey.
- The men kept bickering but shut up when the women came back.
- Hope has shown no signs of life after four challenges. Her personality (or lack thereof) has been utterly overshadowed. She will be gone soon enough.
- LaToya is being under-estimated, true that. She is a bit too quiet and low-key for this show but she showed a little fight when NeNe started carping on her.
- Busey continued to irritate Lil Jon and Meat Loaf with his inability to focus at times.
- Canseco is just plain strange, his facial tics notwithstanding. During the meeting with ACN executives, he asked whether they could do a commercial where someone communicates on the video phone to… aliens. And he seemed serious.
- Next week: Meat Loaf blows up against Busey!

FInally! Dionne has been rude, unapproachable and full of herself since day one. And Starr Jones appears to only have problems with you if you're white. They both should have their butts kicked for treating Lisa Rhinna the way they did. What goes around, comes around. I hope Starr is next. Then the scheming could stop and these ladies could really do some good for their charities. I agree, Hope needs to step it up, but the drama is killing this group of smart women, and there's only two that have really caused it. Kudos to Nikki Taylor for her graceful exit. She showed what a true lady in business should be.

I'm sure Dionne's agent regrets putting her on Celebrity Apprentice … it's too bad the image she portrayed on this show trumps (sorry couldn't resist) all the positive I remembered about her back in the day when she hosted Solid Gold.

One Bi.ch gone 2 to left to go. NeNe and Star need to go fast. Dionne is to old to be HIP unless it means HIP REPLACEMENT. The guys have more just NUTS on their team, but the women are losing and they are too caddy to each other all the time.

i am glad that lil jon's charity was the winner in all of this. everyone is so busy tripping about the personalities, the fact that hip hop's lil jon– won a competition and that his charity helps children. kudos, boy!! dionne needed to go and hope should be next. latoya is the funny horse here, because her quiet ways could win it for her. kimZ, slow down, you are funny, but sometimes hard to follow w/your spelling. nene did represent– i was totally surprised. i do not think she was crying tho, because she thought they'd lost. i think she was crying because the crazy men's team worked together well, and she knew her people did not all help on the same level. interesting side of her to see though.

Bye bye Dionne!
Communicate with aliens? That would be Star cuz she looks like one. Oh, the wonders of plastic surgery.
March 28th, 2011
8:43 am
I have seen nothing to indicate that Starr has singled out whites to dislike. After all, it was NeNe who said that Lisa was being set up because she needed to go. I was sorry that Dionne turned out to be so cantankerous! Not a good side of her personality! And Starr does not look like an alien. Bless her sweet heart, but it is LaToya who looks weird from so much plastic surgery!

Did not think men"s commercial, funny! If you have had an experience like this, it is very personal,and I believe most families would like to know, in a totally different way. I don't think the men should have won. This is just something that should not be made fun of, sorry I have no sense of humor, here!

I had always heard that Dionne was a witch; heard this when living in NY/NJ area decades ago. I was appalled at DW's conduct! Shame on her. You must be rough if you make NeNe look decent and not ghetto.
Who is this Hope girl? So quiet.She's just floating by on the show. What's she famous for? how come Donald mostly just talks to the Black women? Hope–speak up!!

I wonder what "Lil Jon" looks like without the sunglasses and the dreads. Anyone ever see his eyes…?!!! Does he ever comb his hair…like a man…? Geez.

Dionne should have been the first person fired PERIOD. She has a look of contempt for everyone and it is extremely difficult to communicate with someone who looks at you as if you are a nincompoop.
Next week Meatloaf v. Busey. Grab your popcorn!

I don't know or care who Lil John is, I just wish he had sense enough to know that the saggy pants and the shades are not appropriate for any boardroom, except possibly in the rap arena. I know the men won last night, but I personally, preferred the women's commercial. Nene did a great job as project manager, and I was glad to see her and Star Jones working harmoniously together. I didn't really have a strong opinion about Star before this, but she really is very smart and exudes strength and leadership.
March 28th, 2011
9:11 am
Star Jones is the reason why the women can't win. She takes over every task even though she is not the Project Manager! She is too conservative and can't think outside the box. She stifles innovation and brainstorming. Jones needs to try to be a team member, allow other members to think and speak.

After watching (TAR) The Amazing Race, I somehow ended up watching The Celebrity Apprentice. I normally watch (TUB) The Undercover Boss but I just couldn't stomach watching a CEO walking around in poop all night. Anyway, I was surprised TCA actually kept my attention. I thought it would be a boring program of celebrities ranting and raving about foolishness. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see celebrities acting in a competitive, strategic and somewhat professional manner while pitching ACN's video phone product in a chance to obtain funds for their favorite charity.
Now to the point of who is the crazy one? Now, crazy is all relative to me. I mean, some people thought Einstein was crazy when he mention his theory of E-=MC2. Don't forget the Wright Brothers, what did people say when they said, I believe I can fly. Or Ford, when he thought his
invention would be a better means of transportation than the horse and buggy. So, if we are talking
about who is the most creatively crazy person on the show? I would have to say, Lil Jon's crew because they thought outside the box. Now, if you are asking me who is the – coo coo for cocoa cocoa puffs – crazy person on the show? Well, I will leave that up to the rest of the folks to decide that one.

I am of Dionne's generation and I'll tell you she is NOT an icon, she is a witch with a b. She is so full of herself and that is such a mistake. She has nothing to be proud of or to inflate her ego over. Most people under 50 don't even know who she is except maybe for her marijuana arrest. I am so glad she is gone. I went back and watched the segment again and she flat out lied. She was the coward.

After tuning in for 5 minutes last week I decided to opt out. Typical mainstream tv garbage. Amazing how low Mr. Trump has to stoop to make a living these days.
March 28th, 2011
9:57 am
I don't think Dionne was hateful or rude, mind you of her age. She is one who don't like mess and can read people and just want to do what was asked of her. I thought it was petty of Nene to talk about the team behind her back and not say "whatever" she felt in their face being that she keeps it real. Dionne was corrent, Nene acted as a coward, she wasn't honest not so much about when Dionne left but how she felt. No she's not a babysitter but if she felt that strongly about the matter she should have communicated her expectation. She was the leader in the episode.

I am glad Dionne is gone. She should have been the first to go. I didn't watch much of the show, just the last part when Little Jon was presenting and I was amazed that he was as intelligent as he was. I think Trump thought he was going to make a fool of himself. I too wonder why Trump always interviews the Black ladies. He is the one who is showing his true colors!!

I love The Celebrity Apprentice. I love watching all the personalities emerge. I really had no clue as to who NeNe is, but I like her. Dionne Warwick should be ashamed of herself. She acted like a spoiled, lazy bitch with major attitude. She also lied in the boardroom about her early exit. We need Joan Rivers back! Despite her age, she never complained about being tired and worked like a dog for her charity! Star Jones is a bright woman but she tends to take over too much. The rest are just weaker players. The men continue to win to because they are more creative, and cohesive, despite having some pretty wacky contestants. The true weak link on the men's side is Jose Canseco. He is just Lazy! Can't wait for next week to see Meatloaf and Gary go at it!

What is absolutely amazing is that Dionne is gone and silent Holly is still there.

Yea Dionne is gone. She challenged "The Donald" and lost, and she did flat out lie. She did not ask NeNe if she could leave. So she is the coward for not owning up to it. I am not a big fan of NeNe either but she did show a more humble side last night. She can go up against those ladies of Housewives, but she knew what not to do on the show. Although she still showed some of her personality, she also showed she can be gentle. I think her crying was a sign of humility because she thought she had maybe mess up and she is there for her team and it's not about her for a change. She did a very good job as the PM in giving out assignments and being in charge. Latoya was the one to mention to NeNe that her vision was blurry so she WAS limited in doing a task, but she said she wasn't.
Surprised that the men commerical did good, I also thought it was very risky….but it worked. Also agree….who is this Hope person and where did she come from? When "The Donald" ask her who she thought should go she even said Dionne. I think she was throwing Dionne under the bus because the others said she was not a team player. It wasn't like her and Dionne had an issue because they had the task of together getting the prompts for the commerical.
I say again KUDOS to NeNe for a job well done!

This was my first time watching celebrity apprentice. I think the men's team did a great job. I loved their commercial. I was really impressed with Lil'Jon. NeNe on the other hand…I agree with what someone said earlier, I think NeNe was crying because she failed as the PM. She is not a leader – NeNe take notes from Lil'Jon.

Shame on Dionne. She should know better. But on the other hand, it has been said that what's in you, will eventually come out. Let us not forget that she is the auntie of Whitney Houston. (Crack is whack). Dionne also stated in 2002 that the marijuana joints seized by airport officials from her cosmetic bag were used to treat glaucoma. This was during the time that she was working for the Psychic network. Wonder why if she was a mind reader, she didn't know that she would get caught?
March 28th, 2011
10:38 am
yeah NeNe shouldn't have thrown her members under the bus as the PM she should have asked LaToya to do more if she felt she needed to. Latoya shared with her about her eyes possible because NeNe is approachable, but then she'll stab you in the back. Those things NeNe said about Latoya behind her back, she should of said in her face. The things she said about Dionne, she should have said in her face, that made her a coward if she felt so strongly about how they felt she could have used her position as a professional and expected more and pushing them to be leaders. They lost because of the don't stick together, and I believe that's why NeNe was crying. She heard how the men worked together and she started the discord among the ladies, she was guilty of not encouraging yet she was creating division. Because if they were a team as she continued to indicate then then team should have said something to Dionne when she left out. When Dionne was doing her task she didn't ask for help, she did her job, she don't want to deal with the foolishness. Go Dionne.

I was very shocked that the men's team won, but both teams did a great job! It is sad to see that women cannot work well together. The fact that then men did not want the women to see them bickering was commendable. Nene was wrong for saying that LaToya wasn't contributing. There were not many tasks but homegirl was keeping up with the time. Dionne should have left last week, I believe the women's team will begin to work better together with her gone. I understand that everyone respected her, well not really because I do not know what she was famous for, she was a psychic right? Anywhoo, I cannot wait to see Meatloaf and Gary go at it next week. That man, Gary, is scary I praise the men for putting up with him for this long. All last night I kept asking myself if I had every seen Lil Jon's eyes, lol. However, he is carrying himself in a way I didn't htink he could. I am loving the men's team right now they work so well together. Even Richard has become easy to work with since they told him about himself.

@O.Pinionated, Lil John is the real deal. Lil John wearing a suit in a board room would be just as phony as Prince Charles wearing dreads and saggy pants in a board room. The dude is who he is…and that's good enough for me. Lil John is the same guy on TV as he is in person. Go to Vision Studios and hang out for a couple of days. You will see Lil John come in and hang out with young aspiring producers, rappers and musicians because he can be a good influence. No drugs, no BS, just a good role model giving his time to the people he loves.

again, lil jon's charity is the United Methodist Home. he chose to raise money for that charity because his mother adopted two foster kids- a boy and a girl- when he, lil jon was growing up. again, he stated that the 40,000 he received last night for the organization would allow them to house additional families. now, many of you may not approve of certain lifestyles, but lil jon makes more money than anyone on this blog and i am willing to bet that he has already donated much more than the 40,000 that he rightfully won last night to that Home– glasses, pants, etc, and all! do not mistake portraying a certain image as being equitable to being ignorant and without skills or an adequate upbringing. he is doing his thing as himself and is garnering more respect than that lil whiner – i dont even know his name, on apprentice, more respect than the baseball player and wayyyyyyyy more respect than scary gary. dagggg, Atlanta– support your people. his win brings money straight to decatur, ga!! if all things were fair, since ACN was "upset that both teams could not win"– then, they should have donated maybe 10,000 to the losing team as well.
March 28th, 2011
11:27 am
@carlaroqs – I was thinking the same thing. Why didn't ACN donate a little to the losing team since they liked both of them?
And, you're absolutely correct in one's outward appearance. Don't let it fool you. Lil John is respectful and humble. He will never forget where he came from. Remember the old adage, never judge a book by it's cover. Same goes for Lil John!

I like the way Richard Hatch kept talking about how good-looking Jose is. I agree. So hot. It sucked that John Rich was no negative, and afraid about doing the "gay" commercial. His comments were unnecessary. It was humorous, and it got a win for them. If they had lost, John would have been griping and complaining saying that he knew that it was a bad idea.
March 28th, 2011
11:40 am
@Lyla – I disagree. If he would have lost, he would have stepped up to the plate (w/o griping) saying he knew the commercial content would either be embraced or kicked to the curb.
Jose looks like a twitching Fred Flintstone (LOLOL).

How can anyone say NeNe and Star should go next. Who and What would we watch after that. Luckily Trump and his producers know which characters are needed keep the ratings up (crazy Busey).
I forget Hope is on the show and LaToya is too soft even without laser problems. Dionne is miserable.
March 28th, 2011
11:47 am
@Blue Dolphin, you're obviously VERY young…Dionne Warwick is a singer. She also hosted a show many years ago when I was a kid. She's had several major hits and at one time was probably as big of a star as Aretha Franklin.
I'm glad to see her go also, but the women's team doesn't work together. It won't matter that she's gone. For Nene to say that people MUCH more successful than her have no skill set. They must have something to have gotten as far as they have. She's just now making a little bit of money. What she said about Star was just wrong. I just don't care for this woman. She's mean and jealous. Happy for Lil Jon though.

Bieber To Marry By 25
Sunday, September 11th, 2011
The 17 year old Justin Bieber is already talking MARRIAGE and KIDS. Two of my greatest fears! He was quoted by Women's Wear Daily stating,
"Well, by 25 or 26, I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family," he said when asked where he sees himself in five years. "I want to be a young dad. I want to be able to have done what I wanted to do — to be successful, to do a movie or whatever. But if the time is right, I definitely want to be married by 25."
Sloooow down child just let things happen as they will! I hope Selena Gomez is in on his program.

A recent rekindled flame.. I recall my first pair of Jordans being Air Jordan V's, in white. Man, I loved those shoes. I don't know how my parents afforded them. Or the VII's in Bordeaux I got after that, or the XII's I got after that!
Recently they have remade these shoes that started in the early 80's. The first remake that caught my eye was of the Air Jordan I's, but in University Blue(aka Carolina Blue) with a pic of MJ on the side taking a jumpshot during his days with the Tar Heels. Had to have them.
More recently the Air Jordan V's were re-released in black. Growing up, a friend had black, and I always liked them, so when they hit the market, they were must haves as well, and the flame was rekindled.
There is some fairly serious sneakerheads out there, but I am not one of them. I only have four pairs now.. ;) JG.

five goals.
Highly rated by former colleague Rio Ferdinand and those around the Aon Training Complex, he has certainly proved his worth during loan spells in the Championship. A successful stay with Leicester City was arguably the most impressive loan stint of any of the Reds' youngsters that season and he was unlucky it ended in play-off heartbreak in dramatic circumstances in the semi-final with Watford. He even earned a place on their three-man shortlist for the Player of the Year award.
Although he started Capital One Cup ties with Newcastle United and Chelsea under Sir Alex Ferguson, catching the eye on both occasions, he has had to be patient for more first-team opportunities. Ryan Giggs did name him on the bench for the win against Hull City during his interim spell in charge, but much of his work came away from Manchester, with Derby County and Blackburn Rovers on loan.
By returning to the fold after shining at Ewood Park, where he scored three goals, he was able to compete in the Under-21s' end of season pursuit of glory but Chelsea claimed the trophy with a 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

In the 1950s, in America, cars were all about jet-age this and rocket-power that. In the '60s, in Japan, Nissan borrowed that motif and adapted it for the times, calling its new Bluebird model "Supersonic"; the 510 Bluebird launched across Japan, in magazines and on TV alike, in the fall of '67 with images of Concorde (and only images, as the actual Concorde didn't fly till the spring of '69) and ideas about swift comfort put firmly in the Japanese car buyer's head. Faster-than-sound capabilities strained credulity —the hottest version, the triple-carb 1800SSS, was good for 115 horsepower; not even its designer (see sidebar) considered believing it. But then, no one really believed that those two-and-a-half-ton American tanks of the '50s were actually jet-powered, either; it was all about image. And the Bluebird had image in spades. Supersonic!
It was the 510's confessedly subsonic capabilities that attracted Chris Houts, now living in Amarillo Texas, and even then he had to be pointed in its direction. Such is the crime of youth; the learning curve is steep, and direction sometimes requires a guiding hand. "I had done some SCCA racing in a Dodge Neon when I was 19; it did OK but was plagued with electrical issues. At an event, a seasoned racer told me to get a Datsun 510 instead; he told me all about their heritage and how capable they were on the track. So I bought one." Quickly, Chris discovered the joys of 510 ownership—light on its feet thanks to all-independent suspension, gas mileage, reliability and an old-school charm that's lost in newer steel. Then things got crazy: a boosted '91 Civic Si hatch, an '01 Civic Si, a track-day Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII, a '10 Evo X and finally a BMW 3-series that put 400hp on the ground. Yet the lure old the Datsun—its simplicity, its honesty, its reliability, its unassuming nature—lured him back into the fold.
Finding the Bluebird you see here was something of an accident. "I had just started my new job in Amarillo, and I decided I wanted another Datsun 510; I was finally making enough money that I could afford to really do it up right. A very nice '71 510 4-door was for sale in Dallas, although I also had cars I could have looked at in Denver and in Los Angeles. I bought the Dallas car, but when I went to pick it up, the seller showed me his baby: a genuine RHD Bluebird coupe. Of course, I wanted it, but he insisted on keeping it."
"Fast-forward six months; my 510 got hit and I needed body parts. I called the seller to see if he had spares I could purchase. He did, but the seller was in a financial bind; I ended up trading the drivable four-door and some cash for his Bluebird coupe." The trade-in plus the cash amounted to eight grand, and must have been wringing his hands over unloading what was, for all intents and purposes, a turd. "I sent it to Racecraft Northwest in Seattle, where Jim Froula looked it over for the initial estimate. The car had so much rust and poorly-repaired body damage that we decided to use another shell to complete the project." Think about this for a second: Chris sent his car 1750 miles to a shop that told him that it, a machine which was not sold on the American continent when it was new four decades or more ago, isn't salvageable. Time + distance + parts availability = uh oh. And yet somehow, Racecraft Northwest managed to have an answer for him. "They found a Bluebird shell; it had been turned into a race car, and had been in a bad wreck in California. It needed a new front clip, but whatever rust it may have once had was already removed, so we decided to use that shell for my car instead." The work to get the unit-body solid and straight again, including time on a frame jig, took the better part of a year.
That gave Chris time to track down parts from quite literally around the world, places such as Japan, Australia... "I even drove halfway across the US to get a windshield from a friend in California, since the one I ordered from Japan showed up in pieces." New-old-stock (NOS) and reproduction body pieces mixed with vintage lumbar-hugging Recaro chairs and a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel are some of his most cherished finds. He even located an NOS Datsun AM radio, which remains bereft of aftermarket amplification. Yet the Techno Toy Tuning coil-over suspension gives it a very up-to-date feel, as does the pieced-together rear disc brake system, incorporating both Nissan and Wilwood parts to great effect. The wheels are 16-inch Advan Onis on Federal 165/45-16 rubber, an old-school style which fills the wheel openings dramatically.
Under the hood, the blend of old and new continues with a curious choice, the naturally-aspirated driveline from a home-market S14 Silvia. That's 140 horsepower, and a transmission that, while possessing an Overdrive gear, has a 3.32 First, rather than the stock Datsun's 3.66 First. Granted, that's 25 more bone-stock, dear-nuts reliable horsepower than an L-series 1800SSS would have offered, along with an Overdrive gear to keep the revs down on the freeway; also, at 2200 pounds, it's lots lighter than the Silvia it came out of, and is hundreds of pounds lighter than an early '90s Sentra SE-R which ran the same engine. Those extra 25 horses will scoot, and the factory reliability means more can be added in sometime in the future. On the other hand, precious time off the line is lost in gear multiplication.
So... no boost? "I wanted to keep it naturally-aspirated, since that's the way the car was from the start." As for the transmission, "I used the the S14 five-speed; it's longer then the factory four-speed. I used a home made five-speed conversion bracket and cut the factory hole in the trans tunnel a little larger, then welded in a Datsport Trans tunnel cover for a clean, sealed look. All the factory hydro hardware for the four-speed bolts right to the SR trans. I love that Nissan's stuff is so cross compatible." Fair enough. Plus the sheer reliability of Nissan's twin-cam, two-liter SR20DE will ensure that it's running until well past the next time Nostradamus predicts the world will end. A hand-built header and large-diameter exhaust will add a few horses and minimize backpressure to boot. (In any event, Chris swears that his next modification will be adding a limited-slip diff to help get the traction down. No need for a car this righteous to settle for a one-wheel peel when the owner stomps on the gas.)
The effect you see here, the grey engine bay and the blue body, was quite deliberate. "I sent it off to Kenny's Kustoms [just half an hour up US-60 in nearby Panhandle, Texas] for paint; shop owner Kenny Segura painted the car Blue Pearl Clearcoat (code RAE), a shade that was released in limited numbers on the 370Z. I felt it was important to keep it a Nissan color." It's also easier to match, should any issues befall the sheetmetal in uncaring Texas traffic. As for the grey engine bay..."I also decided to paint the engine bay a separate color to help highlight the engine swap."
The complete build took about three years and entirely the wrong side of $25,000 (including the cash outlay for the decaying corpse of a Bluebird), and the last year of the build was Chris putting everything together in his garage at home. Since it's come out to play, including a spot at SEMA in 2012, "The reaction has been insane! It appeals to such a variety of people; some remember their parents owning one like it when they were a kid, and plenty of people remember John Morton beating the V8s in the Trans Am series in the early '70s." He's also finding that the kids are grooving on it as well. "Now that the old school craze is getting huge, the younger crowd are falling in love with the Bluebird all over again." Chris' car, encapsulating newer technology in the character-by-the-bucketful old school body, gives the younger generation something to relate to. That proves slightly problematic, as our Supersonic Bluebird rarely gets to stretch its wings and fly. "Its so rare that I'm scared it will get hit or stolen," Chris frets. "I do drive it around town on weekends and sunny days, but that's about it."
So we've got something old (the car itself, dating to 1968), something new (all of that high tech under the hood), and something borrowed (Supersonic, indeed!), all to make an altogether remarkable blue(bird).

Delightful film and love all the actors especially Judi and Maggie. As others mentioned I didn't know what to expect so a bit slow in start but realized the film was building its characters. Finding happiness later in life is wonderful! **** stars.
Movie is entertaining. Has a lot of dry type humor. Probably more enjoyable for middle age viewers than younger.
Lovely film. Addressed culture, love and homosexuality. Of course, Bill Nighy is one of my favorite actors.
I didn't know what to expect before watching this, but I laughed a lot throughout the entire film. There were sad parts, but mostly this movie was upbeat and very enjoyable.
Enjoyed this film. Didn't know what to expect but I love stories about people and their relationships and this ticked all the boxes.
It was a very good movie that could have been great if the ending had been handled differently. It was too corny for my liking.
What a gem of a film. Far better than QUARTET (which I liked.) Judi Dench was brilliant but Dev Patel is the crazy glue that gels this memorable story.
This was the story of several individuals who decide to retire to the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in India. Each character has a story to tell and work out for themselves, sometimes with help from the other characters. Don't let my 3 & 1/2 star rating put you off. That was only b/c I thought it ran a little long. The acting was superb and the stories were intriguing.

February 01, 2011, 9:52 AM — Facing consumers with an appetite for cloud storage that has increased 50% over the past year, the world's largest consumer online storage provider said on Monday that it will no longer offer unlimited storage and will increase fees for the limited online storage it's now selling.
While Mozy may be among the first to change its pricing model for consumers, one industry analyst said most other providers will soon be forced to follow suit.
"Others are already doing things like bandwidth throttling to help control the volume of data being stored and limiting the types of files you can backup, but as far as raising prices we haven't seen that yet by others," said Gartner analyst Adam Couture.
Mozy, which is owned by EMC, opened its MozyHome consumer storage service in 2006. Since then, it has charged $4.95 per month for unlimited online backup.
While the new price and capacity points take affect immediately for new customers, existing customers will have until March 1 before they'll be required to change over to the new plans.
Today, however, Mozy services more than 1 million users, and while the majority of its customers don't abuse the service, about 10% are considered "power users" who store everything and are eating up enormous amounts of capacity.
Power users tend to not only store high-definition video, photos and music, but they also end up converting all their analog data to electronic to store that online as well, said Russ Stockdale, senior vice president of product marketing at Mozy.
Power users use as much capacity as the other 90% put together, he said. To give you an idea of how much that is, Mozy currently stores more than 70 petabytes of data for its customers.
"The analog camcorder became digital, and the digital camcorder became high-definition digital. Then all that stuff got built into your phone. Now you have people carrying high-quality digital devices and exhibiting a behavior where they reflexively store it," Stockdale said. "There's been a pressure across the industry on consumer plans that offer unlimited capacity."
Mozy said the typical size of a photo taken on an iPhone 3G takes up .5MB of storage. A photo taken on an iPhone 4 takes up 2.6MB, and one taken on a Droid X phone eats 2.3MB of capacity. When it comes to taking one minute of video on the latter phones, it consumes 82MB and 170MB, respectively.
Mozy's MozyHome service will now charge $5.95 a month for up to 50GB of storage capacity, and $9.99 per month for up to 125GB capacity (and as many as three computers.) Beyond those prices, if a user wants to add another computer to his or her existing storage, it will now cost $2.00 a month. They can also add 20GB of additional storage capacity for the same monthly price.
"We wanted to make the incremental cost of adding a computer less than it was in the past," Stockdale said.

The world's largest producer of seeds, #Monsanto, has apparently given up on attempts to spread its genetically modified plant varieties in #Europe. A #German media report said the firm would end all lobbying for approval.
The world's largest producer of #seeds, Monsanto, has apparently given up on attempts to spread its #genetically modified plant varieties in Europe. A German media report said the firm would end all lobbying for approval.
The German newspaper "taz" reported Friday that US agriculture behemoth Monsanto had dropped any plans to have farmers grow its #genetically #modified (GM) plant varieties in Europe.
Monsanto Europe spokesman Brandon Mitchener was quoted as saying the company would no longer engage in any lobbying fur such plants on the continent, adding that at the moment the firm was unwilling to apply for approval of any GM plants.
Saying 'No' to genetically modified food
All over the world, protesters have been rallying against genetically modified food - and in particular, against seed giant Monsanto. (28.05.2013)
Monsanto said its decision was partly based on low demand from #European farmers. "We've understood that such plants don't have any broad acceptance in European societies," Monsanto Germany spokeswoman Ursula Lüttmer-Ouazane commented. "We haven't been bale to make any progress over the years, and it's counter-productive to tilt against windmills," she added.
Public resistance
The German Agriculture Ministry said Monsanto's move was a corporate decision and would not comment further. But it added it was no secret the ministry had been highly critical of gene modification technologies.

Fuck yeah
DON'T BE FOOLED. I've said it before and I'll say it again, BASF and Bayer also produce GMOs and each of them is larger...

Is that the best Mother Nature has to offer?
- Waterproof fabric and fully taped seams allow you to endure the harshest of winter weather
- Breathable fabric and mesh-lined underarm vents keep you from overheating when you build a kicker
- Synthetic insulation warms your core so you can stay out longer and enjoy the fresh powder
- A powder skirt and wrist gaiters block out snow
- Custom Nomis trim and detailing set you apart from the norm

Is this jacket true to size? Or should I order a size up or down?

The nomis girls fit is on the small side. So I would size UP!
I hope this helps!

The best way to determine this would be to click the "Live Chat" button at the top of the screen.

perfect coat for any chicka! I would recommend the BLACK--it won't get dirty but you still get some color with the horizontal dashes! It doesn't look like any other coat! It has some cool features that will keep you toasty and comfy!
