Hollywood Reporter says Ryan Seacrest is producing a new reality show in which average citizens beg for cash from celebrities and moguls.
The eight-episode run will start Dec. 14 on E!
In "Bank of Hollywood," a panel of notable names takes pitches from Americans in need of cash. The proposals range from a do-gooder raising money for charity to a grad student who can't afford a ring to propose to his girlfriend. "The idea's simple," Seacrest said. "We are giving away tons of money to everyday people to alleviate the stress of today's climate and have fun."
Okay, these so-called celebrities are not exactly A List. The story lists folks like Candy Spelling (Tori's mom), poker player Vanessa Rousso, Wilhelmina Models president Sean Patterson and Pussycat Dolls singer Melody Thornton. Yes, that's a Pussycat Doll nobody remembers! (But I posted a gratuitous picture of her above left anyway!)
-Jason Castro proposed to his girlfriend over the weekend and she said yes. He started dating her last year but has known her since high school. Sorry, ladies!
-And here are some tweets from our Idols the past 24 hours. Chris Sligh was in a minor car accident and the cop response has been a little slow. Adam Lambert is in promo mode. And Diana DeGarmo? In admiration mode.

Well, that's a loose definition of "singing" when it comes to the PCDs. Still, I'm sure the boys appreciated the picture. Definitely better than Candy Spelling…
As far as Twitter, Pickler, David Cook, and Kris are usually funny tweeps.

Who iz dat?
Yes I read the blog, but I still don't get it. I like Ryan, but that sounds like an awful show. Can reality TV sink any lower?
Now I can continue to bash Twitter as being mundane and inane.
November 5th, 2009
12:52 pm
All the twits on Twitter make me glad that I've never bothered to sign up. What a vapid wasteland!
November 5th, 2009
12:53 pm
Rodney… in this threads title – shouldn't 'bet' be 'beg'?
November 5th, 2009
1:20 pm
JT and Rickster, I second your comments on Twitter. Who needs it? (Although I am always happy to see anything about Diana D on the blog!)
November 5th, 2009
1:21 pm
Rickster, I think the implication is that Ryan put down a 'bet' that this show would last more than 2 weeks.
November 5th, 2009
1:37 pm
All those tweets and the only thing we know is that Chris (whom I happen to be a fan of) doesn't understand that the local police might have more important things to deal with then to respond immediately to a non-injury accident. Let's see: respond to an injury accident, respond to a crime in progress, or hold the hand of someone in a non-injury accident as they exchange insurance information? That's a tough one! Not enough police for you? Lobby to have your taxes raised so that you can pay to hire more officers.
Is sharing all this useless data really the best our society has to offer?
/Twitter rant off
November 5th, 2009
1:48 pm
Yeah, JT, but we did learn Pickler is relaxing to a burning lavender candle…isn't that important data???
November 5th, 2009
2:29 pm
I would find it important if Pickler mentioned that she was naked. Then I'd know to slather myself in lavender wax.
I've been looking at Twitter all wrong, I think I need to start tweeting. Instead of going on with my boring life and telling the world every boring thing that I am doing I will tweet about my bowel movements. Yes folks, fear the tweet that contains only four letters C-O-R-N. It will be the pinnacle of western civilization. Digital data worthy of saving for all time.
November 5th, 2009
2:41 pm
Of course… a nice massage would help her relax better than a lavender candle. I happily volunteer.
November 5th, 2009
4:21 pm
Looking over who has posted, it's interesting to see what a picture of a Doll will do to the blog. No need to discuss Castro.
November 5th, 2009
4:36 pm
Still don't understand why people tweet.
Will Ryan Seacrest do ANYTHING for money? His "reality show" sounds really dumb.
November 5th, 2009

Mercedes… I think the answer to your question is… "Yes."
Hope everyone has a good evening. SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad tomorrow is Friday.
November 5th, 2009
6:22 pm
So why does Rodney follow Ryan's latest TV venture (with a picture of my favorite Doll which I am grateful for) yet he has never covered Ryan's last TV venture… "Keep up with the Kardashians"? He's plotting against me isn't he?
Yes folks you heard it right, with Christmas right around the corner, Melody is my favorite PCD.
November 5th, 2009
6:28 pm
Show sounds too dumb to last no more than one show. Why Why Ryan Why???
November 5th, 2009
8:40 pm
Let's see: respond to an injury accident, respond to a crime in progress, or hold the hand of someone in a non-injury accident as they exchange insurance information? That's a tough one! Not enough police for you? Lobby to have your taxes raised so that you can pay to hire more officers.

Interesting comments last night. A bit difficult to understand but interesting nonetheless.
Yesterday was long and unpleasant but we've all survived to fight another day.
Ryan's show sounds AWFUL!
November 6th, 2009
8:02 am
I hear from a reliable source that Carrie's new CD is great and is currently on continuous "repeat" mode!
But I'm sure Carrie's truly worried about having to compete with Brooke What's-her-name! (At least that's what some sap at the Houston Chronicle thinks!)
November 6th, 2009
8:11 am
Okay, I submit a new poll question:
Who should we blame more for these exceedingly stupid reality show concepts? Ryan or the network brass that keep saying yes to all kinds of "reality" fodder because it's much, much cheaper than producing a real television show?
It's like all these really stupid TV commercials that come on. Besides not having a chance in Hades of selling me on the product, I sit there thinking, "What moron in charge at this company approved this commercial? Was it their idea to insult the intelligence of all their potential customers?"
Oops! Just fell off Linny's soapbox there!
November 6th, 2009
8:19 am
I think we're going to have to blame the viewing public. When a reality show doesn't make money it's pulled out of production. Obviously there are some good reality shows out there but most of them are pure idiocy.
November 6th, 2009
8:37 am
I agree with her highness. I can't remember who said it, but "You'll never go broke underestimating the American people" when it comes to keeping them entertained.

Deirdre re: 8:19 coment I agree 100%. The viewing public is to blame
November 6th, 2009
9:22 am
Highlander, as I'm the "very good authority" you mentioned, yep!! Carrie's CD is still on repeat at work. Keeping me going today through a very ugly moment or two. As for reality tv, the problem is definitely the shlubs who are watching this lame stuff on TV. Really, do we NEED more cameras to follow a celebrity around during their day?
November 6th, 2009
9:49 am
Good Morning.
I wouldn't waste my time to see Ryan's new show. Whoever in their right minds come up with these reality shows can't seperate reality from real life. Let TV get back to what is once was, nice, wholesome family type shows (sitcoms). Bring back shows the whole family can sit down and watch together without the nudity, sex and four letter words. I know this is just my opinion, but in a sense TV has purely gone to pot. There are a few good shows (not reality) that are on and worth the time to watch and enjoy. I guess that I'm just an old fogey and old fashion that I enjoy the early tv shows, such as The Golden Girls, Little House, Highway to Heaven, Touched by an Angel, 7th Heaven, to name a few. Shows like these are so obsolete, that producers and creators think they can't sell them to the public viewers. The bottom line is that they only see the $ signs, and that is their only concerns.They promote sex, drugs and alcohol, and then are in amazement when young impressible kids end up in trouble by doing something they have seen on TV and thinks it's cool! In real life, these TV scenes that the kids think are so neat & cool, can end up with the lost of a life. My question is, "Is the dollars worth a child's life?"
Okay, think I have said enough so I will get back to doing laundry and cleaning.
November 6th, 2009
10:12 am
Hi y'all.
Nana, I agree. TV certainly has gone downhill…and it's not what it once was. Golden Girls is/was pure genius and still funny now as it was then. I really can't stand almost all of reality TV, but can't be too harsh on it since it did lead to shows like Idol. I do also have a problem with parents who let TV be their child's teacher. I mean, I grew up in the 90s with shows like 90120 and Melrose. The latter I wasn't allowed to watch, for example. I don't know. I just think parents need to be more engaged in their kids lives, without trying too hard to be the "cool older" friend who lets them get away with almost anything. JMHO.
So, anyway. Danny Gokey has a new single out today. It was written by the guys from Lady Antebellum (Charles and Dave). Tangent: I love Lady A. It was produced by Mark Bright (Carrie's producer). So they're definitely giving him the "star" treatment. Haven't heard it yet, so no clue how it is.
November 6th, 2009
10:32 am
gee fellas and gals, i was gonna get you to help me create the perfect "gimme" to present to Ryan so we could win — whatever it is you're supposed to win — see. I could say. like we've been married 40 years and struggled and i've never been able to afford an anniversary gift for my hubby and all i want is a nice ring with a ruby in it, and then one for him to give me, oh and a trip to jamaica for our anniversary/honeymoon we never had and… sob sob sob…
whaddaya think huh?
heh heh heh
November 6th, 2009
10:35 am
p.s. even if i was serious, my husband would — well, let's just say if someone put a camera in his face to do a "reality" shot with him, the cameraman would be toast, and i would be attending my own funeral…
da man would, i have NO doubt, kill me deader than a doornail if i even THOUGHT about putting HIM on a so-called reality show, LOL. He doesn't even like to have is picture taken casually, much less someone invade his privacy! really.
November 6th, 2009
10:42 am
BTW Linny congrats! These days 40 years is an amazing feat. I haven't done anything my life for 40 years… I haven't even been alive for 40 years. Well, unless you count womb time, but let's not go there.
I'd give you the money, and I'm about as much of a celebrity as those other people. Keep us posted on the gift thing
November 6th, 2009
11:07 am
Congrats on 40 years, Linny! That is truly something to celebrate. I've only been married 5 years, but it has been a wonderful journey to undertake together and I am looking forward to an anniversary as special as yours someday.
So, I don't really miss Highway to Heaven or Golden Girls at all, but I do miss some of the better 30 minute comedies that used to fill my evenings. Friends and some of it's contemporaries were really entertaining. The closest thing I have to those now is Big Bang Theory, which I adore. I'll be glad when most reality programming dies it's eventual death and we get some good scripted tv back.
November 6th, 2009
11:55 am
Actually, I think we can blame unions for the current sad state of affairs on TV (especially "reality" TV.) When the screen actors went on strike, followed by the writers, networks & production companies really boosted the number of reality shows they put out – since they didn't require "real" actors and scripts.
And I'd rather look at Carrie Underwood in a burqa that shows only her face than that picture of whoever she is at the top of the thread.
November 6th, 2009
11:58 am
And… (last reminder) Kellie Pickler's on this week's "Extreme Makeover – Home Edition." Saw some of the coming attractions, and it looks like she should be a hoot!
November 6th, 2009
11:59 am
Congrats on 40, linny. Hubby and I will hit 30 next July. It would be longer but I totally effed up with my first choice for a husband. Learned from my mistake and made a much better choice the second time around. Thank goodness!
As for the sitcoms…..I LOVE The Office, Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. I thought I was going to like Modern Family but, after the pilot, the others haven't been that good.
I don't mind the language, the violence or the sex on most tv shows but I don't have little kids in the house so that might have something to do with it.
November 6th, 2009
12:00 pm
Come to think of it… I'd rather look at Kellie Pickler in a burqa that shows only her face than that picture of whoever she is at the top of the thread. (Now… for Adam Lambert – I'd want him in one of those "eye slits only" burquas.)

I heard the song by Kris Whatshisfacethisisanoldjokebutistilllikeit on the radio last night. It was ok, my mind started to wander about half way through and I forgot what I was listening to. It's amazing how his song has the same effect on me as his performances on Idol did last year.
Rickster, blaming the union sounds like a "What came first the chicken or the egg" type scenario. Even though we all know the egg came first (seriously) but I can't think of another comparison regarding a circular argument right now.
November 6th, 2009
12:44 pm
If I were to go back in time, and convince the network execs to never broadcast a reality show… we wouldn't be having this discussion!
November 6th, 2009
1:31 pm
I'm beginning to think that the 'e' in 'E!' stands for 'Ewwwwwww!'
November 6th, 2009
1:38 pm
Nana RE:9:49 post I agree 100%. I watch very little TV anymore due to the lame excuses for programing that is on. A couple of reality shows, Friday Night Lights, New Adventures Of Old Christine, House and sports are about the extent of it. Oh and if I have to sit through one more police drama I will get ill. I do like to watch TV Land to see wholesome quality TV. I guess I am just getting old. I have a large collection of concert videos that get the most play on my TV.
November 6th, 2009
1:58 pm
Congrats on 40 years Linny. 35 for me and my honey. Who would have thought that us old "free love" Hippies could stay married that long? LOL!
November 6th, 2009
2:19 pm
Thanks, D., for link to Kris Allen's video. With unemployment in the double digits, a spree-killing a day from a disgruntled employee (or ex-ditto), a slew of post-apocalyptic movies soon at a theatre near you ("Zombieland", "The Box", "The Road", "Book of Eli", "9″, and "2012″), and the aforementioned plethora of bad and worse reality shows on TV, right now I don't really need in my life Chris's doomsday song "Live Like You're Dying".
November 6th, 2009
2:21 pm
Oh, and Linny, congratulations! 40 is a big and happy number.
November 6th, 2009
2:28 pm
Mercedes, are you going to see Zombieland? It appeals to me, but I was curious if you had seen it.
November 6th, 2009
2:36 pm
linny – a big congrats to you and hubby! This just goes to show that a marriage can work. The 10th of this month would have been the 48th for me and my late hubby.
About ready to leave for dad's for the weekend, so I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the nice fall weather we should have. Be back here bright and early Monday morning.
November 6th, 2009
2:47 pm
Yes, I saw "Zombieland". Somewhat slow in the middle, and of course very predictable, but worth your $10 for the Bill Murray bit. I liked "The Box" too – creepy fun.
November 6th, 2009

Oh sure… NOW Rodney fixes the typo in the title.

5 big vacation-time executive perks
Taking time off is a lot easier when it starts with fueling up the corporate jet. Here's a look at some of the big travel-related perks CEOs and other top executives enjoy.
The summer travel season is on. Along with the sun and fun, that means dealing with the pricey air travel or fueling up the family car, expensive hotels, concerns about security in unfamiliar places and the nagging fear you can't really afford to go.
But a lot of CEOs have found ways to avoid such worries when they travel. They just bill the shareholders.
Even as companies keep cutting expenses in a sketchy economy, juicy CEO perks survive and thrive. Let's take a look at some of the big perks handed out over the last year that can help executives enjoy their summer travels.
1. Free airfare
One of the big expenses for a summer trip is often be airfare. But CEOs don't usually have to jockey for the best ticket prices. In fact, shareholders routinely foot the bill.
And we're talking about fueling up the company jet for personal vacation trips -- not $800 to fly the family to Disneyland.
Consider the example of billionaire Barry Diller, who gets a double share of this perk as the top exec of two companies.
Michael Brush
Last year, shareholders of IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI, news), where he is senior executive and chairman, paid $644,500 for his personal air travel. Diller is also senior executive and chairman at Expedia (EXPE, news). There, he got an additional $605,800 worth of personal flights, said Michelle Leder of Morningstar's Footnoted and FootnotedPro, which help investors by dredging up insights from the fine print in corporate filings.
The grand total: $1.25 million worth of personal air travel. "We wouldn't be surprised to learn Diller lives on plane," jokes Leder.
Diller could afford buy his own plane tickets, of course. Last year, he got $8.2 million in total pay from these two companies -- $3.7 million at IAC/InterActiveCorp and $4.3 million at Expedia. (For comparison's sake, median pay for CEOs at S&P 500 companies rose to $8.5 million last year from $6.3 million the year before, according to GovernanceMetrics International, an independent corporate governance research company.)
Diller may be the king of this perk, but he is not without competition. Last year Wynn Resorts (WYNN, news) shareholders paid $942,600 for personal use of the corporate jet by CEO Stephen Wynn, who got $14.6 million in total pay that year.
And while no single exec at Chesapeake Energy (CHK, news) could match Diller or Wynn, six of them collectively billed Chesapeake an impressive $2 million for personal flights on the corporate jet last year. Chesapeake shareholders had to pay so much partly because directors get use of the corporate jet for private travel -- an unusual practice, says ISS Proxy Advisory Services. Usually, only CEOs and other top execs get to take the jet.
All of these companies declined to comment except Wynn Resorts, which says it prefers Wynn use the company jet for personal travel for safety reasons. (CEO security is a typical explanation for this perk.)
And Wynn Resorts stock has advanced sharply, to around $162 recently from about $13 when it first started trading in 2002, which means shareholders have been rewarded nicely with Wynn at the helm, a spokeswoman said.
2. Free wheels
If you're not flying, you're probably piling into the family car this summer. And it's not cheap, considering the cost of the car itself, insurance, gasoline and repairs. But those are costs you don't need to worry about if you're one of the many CEOs supplied with a company car -- which often comes with a driver.
Last year, for example, Bank of New York Mellon (BK, news) shareholders paid $188,500 for a car and driver for CEO Robert Kelly, who got $16.1 million in total pay. The company does get points for reducing lots of perks recently, though, including personal use of club memberships, financial planning, parking and home security, says ISS Proxy Advisory Services.
At Talbots (TLB, news), CEO Trudy Sullivan doesn't get just her car allowance, worth $25,000 last year. The CEO of this women's apparel retailer also gets $18,000 to cover the expense of what the company describes as "private carriages." (Talbots declined to explain exactly what kind of "private carriages" Sullivan uses, and the pay experts said they hadn't see the term elsewhere.)
Still, you'd think Sullivan could cover the cost of getting herself around. Sullivan has ranked on Fortune's list of the 25 highest-paid women for years, and the company reported that she got $6.2 million in total compensation last year.
Sullivan received another unusual perk from shareholders. Normally, when execs get restricted stock they pay what's known as the "par value" for the stock, a bookkeeping entry of pennies, or a dollar, per share. But Sullivan gets that reimbursed, too, at $2,250 last year.
"Never, never, in my 17 or 18 years of writing about this stuff have I ever seen anyone get that amount reimbursed," commented Paul Hodgson of GovernanceMetrics.
Shareholders might have a hard time accepting special perks, given the company's recent performance. Talbots stock has fallen to around $3.10, from more than $9 at the start of 2010.
Talbots has "robust corporate governance practices" established by a board compensation committee of independent directors who design executive compensation packages that are "consistent with industry standards," responded Julie Lorigan, Talbots' senior vice president for media and investor relations.
So why all the fuss?
Let's step back for a moment and ask, are we just being petty for picking on these execs for these kinds of perks?
Not at all, say the experts.
Big institutional investors review perks all the time when considering which stocks to own. "We look at corporate governance as a risk mitigator," says Aeisha Mastagni, an investment officer at the California State Teachers' Retirement System. "Companies that have better corporate governance have lower risk and perform better."
One reason is that a lot of perquisites are simply gifts to executives, not linked to performance. In contrast, performance-based pay drives execs to work harder, which is better for shareholders.
Like excessively high pay, odd and excessive perks can also be a sign that boards are too close to managers -- and not looking out for shareholders.
"If a board is unable to tell the CEO 'no' on perks, then how can shareholders have any confidence that the board will stand up to the CEO on bigger issues?" asks Rosanna Weaver, an analyst with CtW Investment Group, which consults labor pension funds on corporate governance issues and shareholder activism.
Now, back to the topic of travel-related perks:
3. Free security
Going away usually means at least some concern about your security in new surroundings. Less so if you're a CEO. Last year, Las Vegas Sands (LVS, news) shareholders forked out $2.5 million for security expenses for CEO Sheldon Adelson and his immediate family. And Amazon.com (AMZN, news) shareholders paid $1.6 million for security for CEO Jeffrey Bezos.
The companies don't provide specifics on what these security costs cover. But in filings, Amazon says it believes that the costs are "reasonable and necessary and for the company's benefit."
Certainly, CEOs have security needs the average worker doesn't. But here's an interesting twist on the theme of keeping executives safe: Last year the biotech company Ziopharm Oncology (ZIOP, news) reimbursed its CEO, Jonathan Lewis, $23,600 for personal property stolen during travel for his job. Ziopharm declined to say what he had on a trip that was worth $23,600, other than that it was a gift "of great sentimental value" from a patient of Lewis, who is a doctor, says Ziopharm spokesman David Pitts.
"The incident occurred at an airport security checkpoint during business travel and was neither preventable by, nor the fault of, the employee," says Pitts. "The company provided reimbursement for the stolen property only after all other options were exhausted, including a police investigation and a two-year effort to seek reimbursement through personal insurance."
4. Free digs
Hotels can be expensive when traveling, especially in places like New York City. But not for Vernon Jordan, attorney and former adviser to former President Bill Clinton. When he travels to New York City for business as a director at Lazard (LAZ, news) he gets to use an apartment that cost shareholders $288,000 last year.
At Wynn Resorts, CEO Wynn lives in two Las Vegas suites that might otherwise be rented to high rollers. The company estimated that cost at $503,000 for last year. Wynn Resorts benefits by having him live on premises, says a company spokeswoman.
If no one's going to cover your hotel suite or an expensive apartment in New York, would you settle for a house?
That's what the coal company Massey Energy gave former CEO Don Blankenship last December as he retired early, following a tragic year in which 29 people were killed in a Massey mining disaster, one of the nation's worst ever.
The house was valued at $375,000, a seemingly modest amount for a richly paid former CEO. In fact, the modest value of the house makes me wonder: Why couldn't he just pay for it?
After all, Blankenship made $38.2 million over the prior three years, and he got a golden parachute of $12 million when his company changed hands early this year. In what might be the oddest perk of the year, the company returned to Blankenship a 1965 blue Chevrolet truck that he had given the company earlier.
Massey Energy is now owned by Alpha Natural Resources (ANR, news) which declined comment. But in a press release at the time of his retirement announcement, Massey Energy said Blankenship helped drive growth at the company, helping its market cap grow to $5 billion late last year from $758 million in 2000.
5. Free of tax worries
If you happen to be following the, talk of the ongoing budget battles in Washington may make you wonder: How much more in taxes will the budget mess cost me?
While CEOs often pay a lot in taxes, they've got an edge over you here, too. Shareholders often cover a portion of their tax bills.
At Noble Energy (NE, news), for example, Chairman and CEO David Williams got a "tax equalization" payment last year of $587,000 to offset higher taxes he faces because the company relocated to Switzerland. Williams, last year, got $9.2 million in total pay, the company reports.
But you don't have to move abroad to get huge tax subsidies as a CEO. Last year, CBS (CBS, news) shareholders paid $2.5 million to Leslie Moonves as a "tax neutralization payment" to offset New York state and local taxes. You'd think that Moonves could afford to pay his own taxes -- his total pay was $57.7 million last year.
Because there's usually no link to performance in these tax offsets, "paying an executive's taxes at the expense of shareholders creates anything but value for shareholders," says ISS Proxy Advisory Services. "Most executives are paid at levels where they should be able to afford to pay their own taxes." ISS surveys show that most investors agree.

Comparing President Obama to these corporate welfare abusers is absurd. He is the President of the United States - which requires domestic and international travel - and security and protection. Its not like he is flying Air Force One to Crawford, TX every weekend.
Anyway, one of the CEOs I worked for enjoyed the corporate jet so much that we had to buy 2 more. One was for his wife to take trips to Paris. Then they laid off over 100 people - which 1 month later the COO was given a multi-million dollar bonus. Can't help but think that the Paris trips and bonuses could have easily been sacrificed so that the 100 people could keep their jobs.
mr BR...while you think the cost cutting moves of companies is some moral insult, you are ignoring the reality that if it isn't done, many ot the companies would no longer exist. I work for one and it is true whether you believe it or not. We also still have a huge public sector that has to correct or drag down tax payers.....that will also be a moral issue to you I suspect. I consider hiding one's head in the sand and waiting to crash to be a poor choice also.
Just saying...we are in a lose lose position due to our decades of excess and using the future to pay for today.
Good luck to us.
PS, those CEO things happen, but are not typical of all.
snowfo....I don't think you have a financial clue if you think congressman spend even 1 mill a year on those items. Simple math (sorry but true) would help you. If you assume one jet/ business trip a week, first class flight lodging etc it would not approach a million. Get out and see the world.
What people think amazes me.
Phud...your comment about entertainers and pro sports (my add to the list) I think is a good analogy...we drool over those overgrown children, and they make more money than all the top management of the fortune 500. Heck, Flav of Flav made 5 million a couple years back.

enjoying it 100%.
Create a new piece of art every day. Draw, sketch, paint, design, sculpt, write, photograph, film, or record something every day. It doesn't have to be great, it doesn't even have to be good- it just has to be a new piece you've expressed yourself with. It can be anything ranging from a simple doodle to a polished symphony, as long as it's new to that day. Don't worry, this isn't to impress anyone. Try different mediums, try different styles, and if you can't think of anything, scrawl on a bar napkin.
Simply create something new that you can keep a record of.
Why:Much like February's challenge, let's try to explore ourselves a bit more. By making a daily habit of creating something new, you'll create a daily habit of removing yourselves from the stressors of your life. For a few minutes every day, you don't need to worry about bills, work responsibilities, or relationship woes. By creating one new thing every day, you'll have amassed a variety of skills and a body of work by the end of the month you may be suprised by.
Bonus points!Take one of two paths:
Try a new medium every day. Not an artist? Maybe you just haven't found an artistic medium that speaks to you. There are literally hundreds of ways to create art, see if you can find something that tickles your fancy. Focus on one medium for the entire month. It's a common challenge in the art community to sketch something every day. Why? Because you'll get ridiculously good at drawing and conceptualizing shapes. Perhaps sticking with one method can help you hone a skill you've always wanted?
And while you're at it, see about sticking to the previous month's challenges! Can you use art as a way to build community and strengthen relationships with people met in January? Can you create art using February's skill? Can you take lessons at nearby studios discovered in March?

This evening I met up with GuerrilLA, the flash mob organization responsible for the pantless subway rides, giant LA pillow fights, and well-choreographed dance numbers in various public places. Our assignment: Create art! An odd request for a flash mob, but a well-timed one, as I was intending on throwing an art party this night anyway!
A friend and I ventured through a sketchy part of Los Angeles, entered an unmarked warehouse as instructed by an email, and followed a piece of pink twine up narrow and unattended stairs. Entering what appeared to be an abandoned storeroom populated with mannequin parts and beaded lampshades, we were somewhat convinced we were attending a murder party.
I'll skip the boring parts and cut to the reveal: We didn't get murdered. We found a nice lit artist's residence in the back, where we painted with a small group of people. We made some great friends, and I got an opportunity to try stenciling for the first time. We found out that our art was to be displayed in the Port-O-Potties and The Brewery Art Walk, so I geared my art accordingly.

Let's cut Ken Lewis's payout
Millions of Americans know that Bank of America doesn't care about numbers in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. It seems the government is in a similar situation:
A Bank of America spokesman disputed both the SEIU's figures – noting the bank received only $45 billion in public assistance.
Yeah, a mere $45 billion. When the numbers are so microscopic, why should anybody pay attention to $126 million (more or less: after all, these values are all of negligible consequence) which is due to be trousered by Ken Lewis upon his departure?
As for me, I like the idea of Kenneth Feinberg cracking down on Lewis's payout. BofA isn't paying for performance, and it's not like the bank needs has any worries about Lewis disappearing off to a higher-paying rival. The bank's hilarious attempts to downplay the scale of BofA's bailout — and of Lewis's package — only prove how easy this decision really is.
only $45 billion—it really seems to be a total 'attitude' of financial firms over here –in the good ol' u.s.a.—screaming about any regulation will make it so hard for 'innovation'–yet, their innovation is why we're here in the first place! i read yesterday that hsbc thinks the banks should apologize to the world for getting all of us into all this trouble–i was shocked! so for ken lewis to 'earn' $126 million–sure that's small compared to $45 billion, but since bofa is still standing, how about he keeps $10 million and shares the remainder with food banks in every state to help people that have gone bust???
Absolutely right, Felix.
No other $45B turnaround investor would allow this payment. None in the whole gdamn world, with the exception of Russia for a personal friend of Vladimir.
Ken Lewis failed. $10M for failure is more than enough. To restore capitalism, we need to establish that you get rich for succeeding, and only for succeeding. Period.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- The Kalamazoo City Commission, buoyed by a showing of community support, is going to initiate a multi-pronged effort to defeat plans by the Environmental Protection Agency to leave a toxic waste dump in the middle of the city's biggest neighborhood.
They think the EPA is trying to blow one past them, hoping the community outrage and anger over attempts five years ago to dump more PCB laden soil at the Allied Paper dump site will have subsided.
Commissioners, neighborhood officials and environmental groups made it clear last night that is not the case.
The EPA has proposed what some called a "cheap" solution, to "just pile up the crud and cap it", as one person put it at last night's special commission meeting.
The 2-b proposal is one of a range of options the EPA has been sitting on for years. It would involve consolidating the contaminated soil in one section of the 220 acre property, covering it with a water proof cap and leaving 3-million dollars in a maintenance fund to fix fences, do security and periodic well tests to see if any of the contaminants are moving.
The EPA has laid out a quick time-table to get the proposal to the implementation stage over the next three to four months, and may be hoping the city can't get organized fast enough to throw up barriers.
A community organizing meeting has been scheduled for next Tuesday night at 7 at Goodwill Industries on Alcott, to start throwing up those barriers.

She's back! After Duchess Catherine spent a few weeks vomiting profusely, she's evidently on the mend and has resurfaced. Due in July, the pregnant Kate Middleton took a hush-hush stroll through Kensington Gardens with her dog and a security detail then popped into a Starbucks for a coffee and a cookie. And, you guys, she ordered it herself, she was smiling, and wait for it, she paid with a Starbucks gift card. Gah! Somebody hug me.
Can you guess what someone who's gestating a future (and literal) Prince or Princess orders?
An onlooker told Us Weekly that Kate "looked beautiful" (I mean, natch) and ordered a grande decaf skinny latte and, like I mentioned, a cookie. Her security guard waited with the "well-behaved" dog outside while Kate, who's evidently a regular at this Starbucks, got her coffee fix.
I'm not sure why I'm so enamoured with this whole scene, but it just sounds so delightful. Like, a pregnant "princess" at a Starbucks? I love it, especially after hearing about Kate's acute morning sickness. That shit sounded awful so it's great to see her out and about sans barf bag.
And, as most expectant mothers know, decaf was a wise choice for Kate. Not only is it "right" to avoid caffeine while pregnant, but could you imagine the outcry had she gotten something that wasn't decaf? The horror! The shame! The future King or Queen of England is going to be hyperactive!
In case you were wondering, the Starbucks spy couldn't spot a baby bump on Kate ... but it won't be long until she's showing, that's for sure.
Did you enjoy decaf coffee when you were pregnant?
Photo via Splash News
Who cares if she did have a caffeinated beverage? It won't kill her child nor make it hyperactive if she has it once in a blue moon. And why should she care what we think? She's the mom, she knows best.
I'm 38 weeks and have had a cup of caffeinated black tea every day... and some chocolate on top of that. No big deal!
NEWSFLASH!!! LATE BREAKING NEWS!!! Kate Middleton eats a double bacon cheeseburger!!! Cafemom bloggers trip over themselves to cover the story. Injuries ensue. Bloggers question why no one seems to care but them!!!!

The Valeyard Judges: Let's Kill Hitler Prequel
Greetings lesser mortals, it is I, the Doctor's dark side personified (hang on, isn't that a spoiler?! -Ed). Quiet, human.
Living in a world where so much of Classic Who, and Series 23 in particular, is ignored by current so-called fans of the show I have found it necessary to find alternative means of employment.
Once whole galaxies trembled in my wake and empires fell and rose at my slightest whim. Once I was the ultimate destiny of the last of the Time Lords!
Now I'm a reviewer on Kasterborous.
But from this latest set back I shall rise once again from the shadow of my past self and crush the universe once again in the dark grasp of Gallifrey.
But for just now; a review.
Not the best of starts one must admit. Hard to say much about 2 minutes of footage where my so called better half doesn't say anything and just listens to Pond wittering on.
"Hi Doctor. I love you, Doctor. Please save my baby, Doctor. Me, me, me."
Where's the
"I'm sorry I gave birth to a weapon that'll kill you"?
"Thanks for raising an entire army to come and rescue me"?
Oh no, it's just all about her isn't it? I tell you; when I finally rise again she'll be my first victim. Damn ginger companions. And damn their partiality to ginger coloured drinks.

Made in Scotland. From girders.
"Now I'm a reviewer on Kasterborous." alol
It isn't a prequel. If it were, it would have been released AFTER the episode (while being set before it). The narrative structure of a prequel assumes that the reader/viewer has seen the main episode/story first.
"The narrative structure of a prequel assumes that the reader/viewer has seen the main episode/story first."

Investing in the Future of Mobile Devices Part 1 - Hardware
By Siddharth Dalal - January 18, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, ARMH, IGNMF, NVDA, QCOM, TSM
The first thing that anyone thinks about in mobile devices is phones and tablets. But there are very few companies that make any money selling them. In fact, almost all mobile device manufacturers make a loss. It's common knowledge that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Samsung make most of their profits off the mobile device makers. There are a few other profitable handset makers like HTC, but HTC profits have more »

The head of one state agency has resigned his position just months after he was re-appointed to it by Governor Mike Pence
Indiana Department of Administration Commissioner Robert Wynkoop has resigned accept a position at Purdue University, if the ethics commission gives the go-ahead.
IDOA handles lots of jobs including fleet management, the handling of state or federal surplus equipment, state contracts, real estate leasing and purchase, state travel and logistics.
Wynkoop was first appointed to the job by former Governor Mitch Daniels.
Meanwhile Indiana Department of Natural Resources Director Robert Carter may also leave his position to take a position with Ivy Tech Community College.

Jeff Shelman has forgotten more about basketball than you will ever knowPosted on December 18th, 2006 – 2:03 PM
By Michael Rand
Jeff Shelman, the Star Tribune's men's college basketball beat writer, checks in to dispense some knowledge. You listen to him. He knows about hoops, and he knows where you live. Stay off of his lawn!
One to watch in the world of college hoops tonight: No. 14 Oklahoma State at Tennessee (6 p.m., ESPN2). The Cowboys are undefeated; Bruce Pearl's Vols have two losses, but they came to Butler and North Carolina.
Two others to track: Missouri State at St. Louis — Very good game between two schools that reside in the world between mid-major and high-major. North Dakota State at Colorado State — Another big test for the plucky Bison. Colorado State has won six in a row since early losses to Baylor and Rice. Here's a name to remember: Jason Smith. The NBA scouts like Colorado State's 7-foot junior. He's averaging 17.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.

Hello Guys! In my opinion! You are right on target but only 50% accurate.
PA is not a gender based problem. So you only address men with the disorder.
What about women who are PA, and their affect on a relationship & family? I would think you would address both? In my experience it is just as prevalent in women & just as detrimental, maybe even more mental. LOL!
I sure appreciate 50% of the work you do well 100%.
Dear JWF, you don't know how many times we think about this side of the problem..but there are not so many takers: men complaining about PA wives. Just in case, if you are serious about your interest in the issue, you can go to our alternative site: http://passiveaggressivewife.com, and post there your comments…You are 100% welcome!
Dear Nora,
Fine! LOL!
You do a good job. I have referred several people to your site, even some men. I tell them all to put he/she in for gender. Because it is the behavior we are looking at not the gender. It may be more prevalent in men, who knows?
Just like the books I have read on Borderline Personality Disorder say that it is 3 to 1 more prevalent in woman. A common thread I see in both is the effect of a parent on personality development. Both PA & BPD put a lot of emphasis on the mothers part.
Thank you for the welcome. You have been a big aid in my recovery :)!
Most of all I want to express my gratitude to you.
Happy Easter!

In this special, combined ConnectCast and v100 Show, news from the vSpring Capital v100 luncheon for the top venture entrepreneurs. We spoke with Jack Brittain about his position as Innovations Czar at the University of Utah. The U of U is an economic engine for the State of Utah, and 2007 fiscal year-end results prove it. Seventeen companies were launched from technologies developed at U of U within the last year. The companies not only help move research forward through the licensing royalty revenue they bring in, but they provide jobs for the people of Utah and help to strengthen the state's economy. The 17 companies are based on research in fields such as medicinal sciences, engineering and fine arts.

DIY Idea: From IKEA Rast to
Campaign Chest
For Chic Sake
Campaign chests are both attractive and practical, with the signature metal hardware serving as both a shiny decorative addition and protection to the furniture. If the style appeals to you, and you're the crafty sort who welcomes a project, take inspiration from Louisa of the design blog For Chic Sake who turned a simple IKEA Rast into a colorful campaign chest.
The Rast costs $35 and Louisa only spent another $50 or so to complete the project. You can find the full instructions and more photos at For Chic Sake.

is this the best Rast redo ever? I think so! I like it better than my own :) and I LOVE mine ;)
Amazing! But aren't those recessed-mount handles? That takes a bit more exacting work than was mentioned on the blog.
beautiful work.
Rural - nope. They're mounted and not routed.
Wish I had the space for one!
your first Related on AT link is broken, needs an H before the ttp://
The exact same DIYwas posted on Apartment Therapy last month - it's just a different colour. Anyway, I literally just left another moany comment about recycled content on AT, so I'll shut up now.
holy moley
Ummm, check out Molly Madfis designs IKEA RAST, she did this to an Ikea RAST over 7 months ago. Her RAST Re-Do was featured on the little green notebook.com.
Oh, man, AT, that's weak. I agree w/ ElleOh. It's a great project, but not when it's the exact same Ikea hack. C'mon...

Councilman Tom Owen is inviting residents to TARC around the Block with him Saturday, Oct. 22, touring the 8th District from the vantage of public transportation and discussing issues of interest and concerns to them
Councilman Owen has commissioned a TARC bus to chauffeur constituents and him around the district for the community meeting on wheels. Two trips are scheduled, each departing from and returning to the Urban Government Center, 810 Barret Ave. and lasting 1 ½ hours. The first tour will depart at 9:30 a.m. and the second at 11:30 a.m. A total of 70 spaces are available, with each session limited to 35 people. Walk-ons will be allowed as available, but reservations will be honored first.
Officials from various metro departments will also ride along to address issues of importance to Highlands area residents.
To reserve a spot, contact Councilman Owen's office at 574-1108. Interested residents will be asked what topics he or she would like to discuss; the route will partly be determined by the topics identified by attendees.

[Syo awakes in the middle of a dusty, unused street. She has no recollection of what had happened in the past day, nor does she have any idea what happened the victim she was about to sink her scissors into. She feels around her holster and to her dissatisfaction finds only one pair of scissors inside, crusty with dried blood.
She does, however, know exactly where she is, and she could almost see the black aura emanating from the hellhole she called home. More than likely, she'd stay out a little longer, and maybe swipe some food in the process. She can feel the cold, sweet sense of liberation shooting up her spine.]
Could've probably taken something from the little ratty after he died…
Oho! I bet he's dried meat by now!!
[She hums to herself as she begins her deadly rush down the alleyway, feeling around the air for the scent of iron and blood.
She reaches the corner where she had attacked him, the puddles of blood now dyeing the asphalt a lovely crimson. However—]
Whaaaaat? There's no corpse?? Not even caution tape?
[She hadn't finished the job, which was one of the worst things that could happen. A good serial killer is never caught, and no matter how cute he is, he has to be torn to shreds, bit by bit! And since he managed to escape, she would be sure to make it a slow, slow process.
Savoring the idea of shaving the skin of his pale face, she moves out of the area quickly, sure to pick up the pair of scissors still sticking ominously out of the ground.]

This Texas rain has me listening to Now, Now over and over. What I want to convey to everyone who reads this post is nothing more than bliss. I have single handedly fished out the most beautiful wallflower of a human being. Alright maybe I didn't fish them out, maybe I was just lucky enough to have met said person.

It mimics the way alpha dogs restrain a misbehaving pack member by grabbibg it by the throat.
If made properly and fitted properly it does not hurt at all, but it triggers the automatic response of backing down to the throat grab.
Dogs can not protect their throat, so if they are grabbed by the throat, they stop.
It is probably the MOST humane way to keep an aggressive dog under control in what could otherwise be escalating danger.[/QUOTE]
Ah, I see. But doesn't a slip collar do the same thing?

If I Love Again Lyrics
If I love again,
Though it's someone new,
If I love again,
It will still be you.
In someone else's fond embrace,
I'll close my eyes and see your face.
If I love again,
I'll find other charms
But I'll make believe you are in my arms.
And though my lips whisper I love you,
My heart will not be true.
I'll be loving you every time I love again.
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/judy_garland/if_i_love_again.html

First I only get part of the fan club pack and then I can't get anyone to tell me when to expect the letter/autographed photo especially now after Jim Root is gone. There's no "contact us" on the website and then ground cntrl says it doesn't address issues to the fan club, but doesn't have any contact information for whomever does address those questions. At this rate, this will be the one and only time I order a SS fan club pack

Just a quick note to let potential speakers know we've extended the deadline for the submission of Proposed Speaker Topic Forms to Sunday, July19th. A number of people asked for more time and it seemed only fair to extend this to everyone.
If there was someone you thought might be interested in speaking – someone with something out of the ordinary to share – there's still time. But Sunday is the deadline.
The form is very short, with only about a paragraph of graft, summarising the topic.

This is the first Ham I've made, it won't be the last time. I made a 9 lb version for this years Super Bowl party. It was almost gone before the first quarter was over. Very little time is spent on prepping this dish, but plan out your time to allow for two full days of brining. I dried it overnight in my fridge for 12 hours. The recipe skips the part about what to cook it in. I removed the wire rack and replaced it will foil in the the same jelly roll pan I used to dry ham. Place skin side up, seems obvious but if you've never cooked a ham, I worried. Because it was a smaller ham I shortened the initial high bake and the long slow bake by 10 minutes each. Finished baking at third temperature change until it reach appropriate internal temperature. My only hint for baking is to have a thermometer hanging in your oven so you can make adjustments as necessary. Served it with a anything goes sauce from The Fresh Market that was barely touched.

A stunning 1.9"(4cm) wide cuff crocheted using 14k gold filled wire. This impressive piece is at the same time modern and classic.
The cuff is double layered, what gives it extra presence and a special glamorous look. The cuff is created using a crochet hook and fine gold filled wire in a rare technique.

check my esty shop for supply and tools :
As an industrial designer my head is always full of ideas, but the implementation is never handmade and always created on the computer.
what left my hands starving to create , since I discovered wire crochet and jewelry making I just can't stop. One design just leads to another.

Tweakable / adjustable mouse M.M.O. 7:

Did they ever address the sensor on these? I recall when the RAT was released there was some major flaws with its sensor (tracking, accel). Really cool design, but it failed the functional test.
I never had any tracking issue with my two M.M.O. 7 (on my first one the scroll wheel went dead though). I think I remember some who complained about the 6400 DPI twin-eye sensor being prone to erratic behavior in presence of cat hair or dirt.
The R.A.T. was released a while ago, I think soon after the Razer Deathadder in 2006. The newest RAT has the 8200 DPI Phillips® Doppler-laser sensor.
By the time the M.M.O. 7 got released the R.A.T. was still the only mice on the market to address so many individual hand shape and size difference and grip preferences.
Its thumb panel button layout is ergonomic; all 10 buttons can be reached with barely any thumb movement. It has a horizontal scroll wheel.
Design > "Function" for me. I replaced mine, and I would buy another. I have come to rely on it (macro-wise) to web browse, navigate the OS, use software and play games.
I have a Steelseries Sensei RAW Heat Orange. Sorry I can't post pics as I need 40 posts or something

The Golden State Warriors went on a 30-5 in the third quarter on Sunday afternoon, helping them pull ahead of a pesky Washington Wizards team and eventually going on to win by the score of 112-96.
The visiting Warriors actually played a fairly clean game from start to finish, limiting themselves to 12 turnovers and no single player committing more than 2 turnovers. Steph Curry struggled a bit, shooting just 5 of 17 from the floor and 1 of 5 from long range while scoring 14 points. He did dish out 10 assists in the contest, but it was an uncharacteristically inefficient performance from the Warriors superstar point guard.
Klay Thompson, on the other hand, put up 26 points on 9 of 14 shooting, including 6 of 9 from three-point land. David Lee added 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists.
For the Wizards, there really weren't any stand-out performers. Just like Curry, John Wall put up 14 points and 10 assists, but also struggled from the floor, shooting 4 of 11. He did shoot 2 of 3 from deep and come away with 3 steals, but he also got very little help from his teammates.
Nene came off the bench and scored 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting, while Marcin Gortat (10 points) and Martell Webster (11 points) were the only other two Wizards to reach double figures in the scoring column.
The Warriors improved their record to 23-13 on the season, including an impressive 12-9 away from their raucous home arena. The Wizards fell to 14-17, but remain firmly in the playoff picture in the horrid Eastern Conference.
