Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Tina Fey has spoken and our hopes and dreams have been squashed: a Mean Girls reunion movie is definitely not happening, despite how tightly our fingers were crossed.
It was reported last week that Fey, who wrote the awesomely funny 2004 flick, had been secretly planning the reunion and that everyone from Amy Poehler to Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried -- uh, you'll notice Lindsay Lohan's name doesn't pop up because she was reportedly the last to hear -- was in on it.
Well, scratch that. According to Fey, it was all one big, fat misunderstanding.
You know what was awful? Sex and the City 2. Come on, it was a truth universally acknowledged. So you know what sounds even awfuler? Sex and the City 3. But apparently that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from spinning with, um, rumors about coming out with a third movie featuring one of HBO's most famous quartets.
Apparently, to everyone's abject horror, a SATC producer and writer, Michael Patrick King, thinks there is "one story left."
No, Michael, there really, truly isn't. Just let it go!
Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda may come back to grace movie theater screens even though the second movie was a complete and utter flop. Besides, the first episode premiered all the way back in 1998! No matter how once beloved, it's officially time to let this series die.
Oh em gee, you guys. Lindsay Lohan had a mini Mean Girls reunion with Daniel Franzese (aka too-gay-to-function Damien) and it really got me feeling nostalgic. And since we're approaching the 10-year anniversary of the cult classic -- I feel obligated to pay tribute.
Mean Girls changed our lives, and if you don't agree, well then ... you can't sit with us. It's hilarious, painfully accurate, and so incredibly fetch. We took away from it life lessons that we could never forget. So here are the top 10 things we learned from our favorite girls:
That's right, folks, Love Actually is celebrating its 10th anniversary today. And that makes me feel insanely, ridiculously old. This movie really came out in 2003? A decade ago? I could have sworn it was something more like 2010ish or so, right?
But that just goes to show how beloved this movie is ... a rare feat of staying power for any romantic comedy. It had something for everyone, and not all the characters had a happily ever after. Multiple huge ensemble flicks have come out since surrounding holidays, but this one does it best. So, 10 years later, we have to celebrate a little and gear up for one of the most romantic times of the year!
Check out 10 of the best moments of Love Actually in honor of the movie's 10th year. While I sign up for my AARP membership.
Thank goodness for the cutting room floor! Twilight's Bella and Edward Cullen gave birth to the most wondrous, beautiful baby the world would ever see. You may remember the casting process for Renesmee rivaling that of Fifty Shades. It was not taken lightly, and when they finally found Mackenzie Foy, well, it was like discovering the most ethereal child that ever existed. But even Mackenzie wasn't the filmmakers' first choice. What -- not who -- they initially chose was so creepy the film's actors had trouble getting through scenes with it.
It's a total shame, but I think we've all been trained to believe Kristen Stewart is a moody stick-in-the-mud. She rarely smiles, wouldn't know enthusiasm if she fell over it, and -- her gravest sin of all -- ruined a relationship with one of the hottest, sweetest guys on the planet. But there's more to KStew than what we see in gossip mags, and if these awesome outtakes from Twilight Forever: The Complete Saga Blu-Ray (which comes out on November 5) are any indication, there's just something about her that makes her extremely likeable -- especially to her male co-stars.
There is one thing that I'm sick to death of: The rumors running rampant about casting Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Can't they just figure it out already??? There is also one thing I will never, ever get sick of: Game of Thrones. So when Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the hit HBO show, is rumored yet again to be a front-runner to play Ana Steele, it's hard to reconcile the fact that these two worlds are indeed colliding.
From all the Game of Thrones season 4 reports out there in Internet Land, filming is well underway. Daenerys had a major part to play in season 3, but in season 4, her role may be scaled back a little bit. Still, going back and forth between Dany and Ana, from Westeros to the Pacific Northwest, if she is indeed cast, would be quite the challenge.
Talk about a busy year! How the heck is she going to be able to pull it off?
Lest you think pretending to be a vampire is all fun and games, Ian Somerhalder is here to let you know it isn't all sexy romps and turning into a raven. Sometimes playing the troubled Damon Salvatore on Vampire Diaries leaves him emotionally wrecked. Wryly comparing his job to therapy he gets paid for, Ian said:
It's not always fun. Sometimes it's brutal and I'll walk off set and I'll cry for 10 minutes alone in my trailer.
Somebody pass the dude a hanky. If his day job makes him cry on a regular basis, what else sets him up for a sob-fest?
You know what we haven't talked about recently? Casting news for Fifty Shades of Grey! Just kidding. It's one of the best and greatest things to talk about because ... really, why not? There are only so many ridiculously hot-looking white people we can come up with who are willing to spank and tie each other up on the big screen for the entire world to see. The latest? It's kind of a big deal: Suburgatory's Jane Levy has been coined as the "perfect" Anastasia Steele.
Whoa, dem's fightin' words, huh Alexis Bledel/Emilia Clarke/Emma Watson/Kristen Stewart/Nina Dobrev fans?
Apparently Levy was given this very coveted title by a fan base called Everything 50 Shades. And casting her actually makes a lot sense. Good job, fans! Because you know we will continue to speculate about this to death until an official announcement is made. We just have to.
Ian Somerhalder is at it again: posting sexy photos and writing cryptic posts that don't flat-out scream, "I'm the perfect Christian Grey!!" but certainly strongly hint at it. Take the latest batch, for instance -- which are, um, intriguing to say the least.
This first photo shows how he's thanking his fans, proving in a slightly passive aggressive way how insanely popular he is. Is he trying to show how much of a fan base he has to campaign for the Christian Grey role? Deflect the rumors that he's out of the running and all this work he's done has been for naught? Show once and for all that he's WAY over Nina Dobrev? Or is he just trying to show off how plump and gorgeous his lips are (at first I thought he was wearing pink lipstick)? Such haunting questions to keep Fifty Shades fans up at night ...

2. Intruders
The comb pushes valiantly against a wall of debris, but has to admit defeat and comes to a complete stop. Morwen tries to untangle Éowyn's content-laden mane with her fingers instead. She picks out chaff, bits of straw...and things with legs that she drops into the candle-flame. Those visitors come, get eradicated by fine-toothed combs, and take up residence again. The same for every child.
Éowyn remains serene, lost in the dreamy state of the combing-ritual. Morwen looks at her, lovingly.
After I am gone, may you stand strong, little girl, against other unpleasant intruders...of a far more dangerous kind.

They pack a lot of culture, sunshine, and absolute fun into the seven square miles that make up our nation's southernmost city. While Key West, Florida, is known for many things, the history of the place is particularly fascinating. Cuba may come to mind when you think of cigar making, but Key West was once considered the cigar capital of the world shipping more than 62 million cigars annually. In the late 1800s, there were more than 80 cigar factories with hundreds of workers living in small conch houses. One of these houses, severely damaged by fire in 2011, was recently rebuilt by today's Featured Customer Mark who shares with us why he chose gooseneck barn lighting to honor the history of the home.Read More

Though the city of Chicago burned to the ground in the late 1800s in one of the largest disasters of the 19th century, residents soon rose up and started rebuilding. One of those new homes, built in 1894, is in the Lakeview neighborhood north of the city and is home to Courtney, a hospitality designer by trade. Recently, she began renovating this historic building, and her eclectic tastes began to emerge.Read More

What's inside your business walls may seem more important than what's outside, but the exterior lighting on your commercial building is often the first thing your customers see. Your exterior style sets the tone for your business and can either turn people off or draw them through the door. For Carrie, a Featured Customer in the South Park neighborhood of Seattle, a great deal of time went into choosing the exterior lighting for her new business — the Stockbox Grocery.Read More

Before they opened their new Fork & Wrench Bar and Dining Room, the owners of this eatery spent two years designing and building the interior space with the goal of creating an environment that is a tribute to the working classes of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. There are hints of a workshop, a linen factory line, a pharmacy, a college science lab, and a savings and loan office scattered throughout the rooms, balconies, and courtyards of the space. Loads of industrial touches are evident including bare bulb pendants, industrial stools at the bar, and plenty of wrought iron to complement the warm, dark wood throughout.Read More

The Dead Sea Scrolls Go Digital - 8/27/08
The Dead Sea Scrolls will once again be revealed.
Two thousand years ago hundreds of scrolls, which include the oldest written record of the Old Testament ever found, were buried in the caves of the Judean Desert. Now, sixty years after the fortuitous discovery of the first scrolls by Bedouin shepherds, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), to whom they are entrusted and who diligently strives to preserve them, has decided to provide researchers and the public worldwide access to them.
In a press conference that took place this morning in Jerusalem (August 27), the IAA presented a pilot program that is being conducted this week, involving the imaging of the Dead Sea Scrolls, using the latest in digital cameras. The project will involve the documentation of all of the thousands of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments belonging to about 900 manuscripts, and placing them in an internet data bank that will be available to the public. This will be accomplished by imaging the scrolls in color and infrared which allow, among other things, the reading of scores of scroll fragments that were blackened or ostensibly erased over the years and which were not visible to the naked eye until now.
The pilot project is examining the means that were selected for imaging and storing the information, and is also estimating the amount of time and resources necessary for implementing a project such as this.
Participating in the pilot project together with the IAA staff are international experts in the fields of imaging technologies and the management of large image databases, amongst them Dr. Greg Bearman recently retired as Principal Scientist from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA, Simon Tanner, Director, King's Digital Consultancy Services, Dr Julia Craig-Mc-Feely, a manuscript expert photographer, and Tom Lianza, Director of Motion Picture and Television Technologies, X-rite Incorporated. Dr. Bearman has previously worked with the IAA and other national libraries on imaging of ancient texts, his group pioneered the application of modern digital electronic and spectral imaging to archeological artifacts. Simon Tanner has worked with some of the rarest artifacts around the world and helped numerous digital projects to succeed in delivering public and scholarly access to their treasures. Dr Craig-McFeely is Director of the Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music and is internationally renowned for her excellence in the digital photography of manuscript materials. Tom Lianza has extensive experience in color and imaging. He is one of the early pioneers in the field of Color Management and developed some of the earliest digital flatbed color scanners.
As part of the pilot program the experts set up three separate imaging stations in a sealed and specially painted gray room:
• A high resolution color imager that will capture the current state of the fragments.
• A high resolution single wavelength infrared imager that will provide significantly increased legibility to the texts in general and of fragments that have deteriorated and have become illegible.
• A spectral imager with lower spatial resolution that covers the red and infrared portions of the spectrum. Spectral imaging will be used on fragments to monitor any changes in the manuscripts by measuring and monitoring their spectral reflectance.
According to Pnina Shor, Head of the Department for the Treatment and Conservation of Artifacts at the Israel Antiquities Authority, "In addition to acquiring the test images, which will be used to analyze and evaluate the quality control of the conservation, we are focusing on a workflow that will minimize as much as possible the exposure of the scrolls to light and will aid in determining the time and manpower needed for the complete imaging of all of the thousands of scroll fragments. The innovative technology will make it possible for the first time to scientifically measure changes in the state of the scrolls' preservation. The spectral imaging will graphically record the condition of a scroll fragment and in several months we will photograph it again under identical conditions at which time we will ascertain if any changes at all have occurred in the graph. The fewer the changes that are discovered the better we will know that the scrolls are in an optimum state of preservation".
Greg Bearman, a former senior scientist with NASA, put forth an innovative idea at the press conference, "I believe that by using spectral photography we will succeed, through non-invasive means, to determine the amount of water present in the parchment from which the scrolls are made. Data such as this has added value for conservation and preservation issues – if, for example, we discover that the parchments are too dry, it will be necessary to modify the conditions in which they are maintained".
Background for the Dead Sea Scrolls Documentation Project
November 2007 was the sixtieth anniversary of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are perhaps the most important archaeological find of the twentieth century. Some 2,000 years have elapsed from time the scrolls were buried in the caves until Bedouin shepherds found the first ones by chance in 1947.
The scrolls are of great importance from a historical, religious and cultural standpoint since they are the most ancient Hebrew record of the Old Testament that has been found to date. They shed light on a time of great upheaval in the history of the Jewish people at the end of the Second Temple period as well as the history of Early Christianity.
Based on radiocarbon dating and paleographic analysis the earliest of the scrolls can be dated to the end of the third century BCE. However, the overwhelming majority of the manuscripts are dated to the first century BCE-first century CE, to the time of the Hasmonean and Herodian dynasties.
The texts include: biblical scrolls, apocryphal or pseudepigraphical compositions and sectarian writings. The biblical scrolls contain sections of all of the books of the Bible (with the exception of the Book of Esther) and even a complete copy of the Book of Isaiah. Some of the fragments are similar or identical to the Masoretic version and some are different. Alongside a small number of large scrolls, many thousands of scroll fragments were found which the first scholars assembled into approximately 1,200 plates.
Removal of the fragile scrolls from the caves in which they were hidden for over 2,000 years interrupted the environmental stability that had ensured their preservation. The ravages of time, as well as their handling and treatment in the early years have taken their toll. Conservators have long been concerned with the scrolls' preservation and documentation. In 1991 the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), advised by leading experts in the conservation of manuscripts, parchment and papyrus, established a laboratory dedicated solely to the conservation of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The task is ongoing, due to the scrolls' extreme brittleness and the need to employ the latest conservation methods known worldwide. Recently, the IAA, in cooperation with the Italian Ministry of Culture, decided to reevaluate the conservation procedures currently used, and to investigate methods of preservation for issues still unresolved.
The thousands of scroll fragments were photographed in their entirety only once, at the time of their discovery in the 1950s. Scholarly research and publication are largely based on these infra-red photographs, although the images represent the condition of the scrolls some fifty years ago, and even the best of them rely on photographic technology that has since been surpassed. Moreover, some of the images have themselves disintegrated. Since its foundation the IAA Dead Sea Scrolls conservation lab has limited photography to essential documentation and specific requests of images for research and publication. Thus, there is a gap in the detailed image information available to scholars, as well as a lack of an active image record that can be used to assist in the conservation efforts
The IAA initiated the digitization project in its effort to monitor the well-being of the scrolls, and to expand access to scholars and the public worldwide, while preventing further damage from physical exposure. To this end, in November 2007 the IAA convened an international committee of experts for the purpose of evaluating the most advanced imaging technologies and the management of large databases. The committee set a series of goals and objectives for the documentation and imaging project including: spectral imaging to improve monitoring for long term preservation in a non-invasive and precise manner; creating both a high resolution colour and an infra-red image of every fragment that is equal in physical quality to the scroll fragments which will thereby prevent any need to re-expose them; and documentation that will facilitate easy and uniform access to a data bank of all the manuscripts which, as previously mentioned , are composed of thousands of fragments.

The Music
Husband and wife Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are two of the biggest names in country music today. Both set foot in the country music arena around the same time.
Hill began her music career in Nashville at the age of 19. Since her debut single, "Wild One," was released in 1994, Hill has gone to take the country music scene by storm. Her most recent album, Cry, sold over 472,000 copies in its first week.
McGraw is one of todays hottest country artists. His self-titled debut album was released in 1992, although his first major release, Not a Moment Too Soon, didn't come out until 1994. Like Hill, McGraw has received numerous awards for his musical talent. Most recently, he was awarded with the CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards Hottest Video of the Year. His newest multi-platinum album, Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors, was released in November.
The network Country Music Television (CMT) is a cable network dedicated to anything and everything country. It is the MTV of country music. Considered the number one country music authority, CMT brings viewers original programs, live concert series, exclusive world premiere videos, and a diverse play list.
The Awards
The year 2002 marked the first annual CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards show and was viewed by 6.3 million people. According to the CMT website, the awards show is country music's first and only. It is also the only fan-voted awards show.
Viewers vote for nominees in a variety of categories, including breakthrough, fashion plate, concept, group/duo, hottest female, hottest male, cocky, female and male video of the year, as well as video of the year. The final five nominees will be announced Tuesday. Toby Keith and Pamela Anderson will co-host this years awards show. It will be telecast live from Nashville on Apr. 7 at 7 p.m.
The Hall of Fame and Museum
The new Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum hosted its grand opening in May 2001. The $37 million structure is located in the heart of Nashville and honors the cultural significance of the music and the achievements of country singers. Country fans and stars alike flock to the Hall of Fame and Museum for both the historical and entertainment experience.
The first Hall of Fame members (Jimmie Rogers, Fred Rose, and Hank Williams) were inducted in 1961. Country superstars Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton were inducted in 1998 and 1999, respectively.
Presley moved to Memphis when he was young, and first made records while he was working as a truck driver. What happened next is no secret. His early hits, which include Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, and Don't Be Cruel, changed country music forever. Presley also acted in 33 movies. He died from a drug-related heart attack in 1977. His legacy as the King of Rock and Roll lives on.
Memphis is home to the Graceland Mansion, Presleys 14-acre estate. Open for tours, guests can enjoy a digital audio guide featuring the voices of Presley and his daughter Lisa Marie. According to the official Elvis Presley website, the mansion tour consists of the living room, music room, Presley's parents' bedroom, the dining room, kitchen, TV room, pool room, and den in the main house, and, behind the house, Presley's racquetball building and his original business office. Most would argue, however, that the highlight of the tour is Presleys trophy building, which houses his collection of gold records and awards, in addition to career mementos, stage costumes, jewelry, and photographs.
Parton moved to Nashville after high school, where she started singing and began her solo career in 1974. Country singer turned television and movie star, Parton is still active in the country circuit today. She released Halos and Horns in July 2002.
The Festival There is country outside of Tennessee. Many St. Olaf students are familiar with WE Fest, an outdoor country music festival held annually in Detroit Lakes, Minn. This coming summer, performing artists will include country greats like Rascal Flatts, Neal McCoy, Sara Evans, Montgomery Gentry, Wynonna Judd, Trick Pony, Keith Urban and Le Ann Womack. The four-day festivities will run Aug. 7-10.

Ortho Molecular Products AdreneVive 60 Caps by Ortho Molecular Products
AdreneVive by Ortho Molecular Products Boost Immune System Function Stress can cause overstimulation to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This axis is incredibly important for every aspect of your health, as it helps to control... many systems within the body, including the hormonal and neural systems. When the HPA is out of balance, this causes secondary damage due to the lowering of the immune system. When the immune system is not performing optimally, the body becomes susceptible to illnesses and has a harder time restoring itself to health. Small illnesses, like a cold or flu, can drag on for weeks as the immune system struggles to fight them. AdreneVive contains the herbs needed to help reset the HPA axis and build a natural resistance to stress.

Reacted Iron promotes healthy iron levels. Iron has many roles in the body, but it mainly helps transport oxygen throughout the bo...dy. Iron deficiency is a common problem in the United States and this type of deficiency is the leading cause of anemia. Not getting enough iron often results in fatigue, it can cause preterm babies when deficient in iron during pregnancy, and when babies do not get enough iron, it often delays their normal motor functions. Some of the most common signs of an iron deficiency include decreased work and school performance, difficulty maintaining body temperature, feeling tired and weak constantly, decreased immune function, and an inflamed tongue. Foods high in iron include spinach, peas, broccoli, chicken, beef, turkey, tuna, shrimp, bran cereals, raisins, dried peaches, beans, and tofu. When you are not getting enough iron in your regular diet, it is important to take iron dietary supplement, such as Reacted Iron to make sure you are getting enough of this important miner Read More

Take Vitamin K2 with D3 for strong bones. Bones need calcium to remain strong and healthy, though, many people do not include enou...gh calcium in their diet for maximum bone health. Vitamin K2 with D3 supplements are a great way to make sure your bones remain strong and healthy for years to come. As a person ages, their bones usually become more brittle, which is why it is extremely important to begin taking the extra steps to ensure healthy bones as soon as possible. It has been proven in recent studies, that when combining vitamin K2 with vitamin D3, it is extremely effective in promoting healthy bones as well as making sure the bones go through their routine building process. It is recommended that individuals take one capsule daily, unless otherwise recommended by their regular health care provider. There are 30 capsules per container. Similar formulas to the vitamin K2 with K3 capsules include Liquid Vitamin D3 with K2, Vitamin D3 50,000 IU, Kid-D Liquid Drops, and Liquid Vitamin D. Suggested Use Read More
Ortho Biotic Capsules are beneficial to gut health. Many people experience numerous digestive symptoms such as reflux, peptic ulce...rs, inflammatory bowel disease, and constipation. These unpleasant symptoms are usually caused by having an unbalanced micrflora in the gut. The gut contains over 100 trillion bacteria, known as microflora, which provides numerous health benefits including protecting against infection and building the body's immune system to protect against bacteria that causes diseases.

EPA (eicosapentanoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanoic acid) are two omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and fish oil supplements. There... have been numerous clinical trials and studies performed on the health benefits of EPA and DHA. To date, omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to prevent primary and secondary cardiovascular events, reduce triglycerides, improve hypertension, and help improve issues associated with Metabolic Syndrome. They have also shown to be effective antiinflammatory agents and have beneficial effects on mood disorders. Several reports suggest that maternal supplementation of fish oils or DHA alone during the third trimester and while breast-feeding can improve cognitive development in newborns, and improve sleep patterns. School aged children have also been shown to have increased mood and concentration when supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends patients with documented Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) consume about 1 gram of EPA + DHA per day, p Read More

Colostrum powder is all natural, nutraceutical grade colostrum that contains 90 known health-promoting components, including antib...odies, immunoglobulins, antioxidants and growth factors that support the immune system, intestinal tract, and healthy cellular integrity. After giving birth, a mother's body produces a special immune and growth promoting substance that is secreted into her milk. This fluid is produced for only the first 24 hours after giving birth, and is called colostrum. This special _pre-milk" is integral in providing a wide range of immunological and growth promoting factors to the offspring. Research provides evidence for transfer of cytokines, immunoglobulin, growth factors, and maternal immune cells to the newborn via the feeding of colostrum. Bovine colostrum is especially rich in immune factors, amino acids, nucleotides and growth factors. Some elements are present in higher quantities in bovine colostrum than in human colostrum. Research has shown that supplementation with bovin Read More

Reacted Iron promotes healthy iron levels. Iron has many roles in the body, but it mainly helps transport oxygen throughout the bo...dy. Iron deficiency is a common problem in the United States and this type of deficiency is the leading cause of anemia.

LONDON, Oct 9 (Reuters) – Prominent banks and some business groups have warned policymakers their efforts to force standardised over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives transactions onto futures exchanges and into the clearing system will drive trading offshore and raise the cost of genuine risk-hedging for non-financial firms.

The Death of 'Pwede Na' and 'Gaya-Gaya'
The Entrepreneurial and Artistic Landscape of Manila in 2014

The Segovia Master Class in Spain (1965)
One way Andrés Segovia furthered his legacy was by giving master classes around the world. Of the seven artists performing in 92Y's Segovia Tribute concert tomorrow, four—Oscar Ghiglia, Adam Holzman, Richard Savino, Christopher Parkening—were chosen to participate in Segovia master classes. (Eliot Fisk was a pupil but never did a master class.)
Oscar Ghiglia's 1965 master class with Segovia in Spain was filmed; watch this beautiful footage above.
Fast forward 48 years, and Mr. Ghiglia brings that legacy to 92Y and a new generation this Sunday, Oct 27, by leading his own master class at the 92Y School of Music.
