NASHVILLE (WATE) - The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation released Monday its first-ever study on law enforcement's use of deadly force and shooting incidents in Tennessee while in the line of duty.
The report takes an in-depth look at officers who have used force or deadly force with a weapon and the effects the incidents had on the officers, their departments, and their communities.
Researchers surveyed law enforcement agencies across the state on the number of times officers used deadly force between 2007 and 2011, held roundtable discussions for law enforcement leaders to provide input on trends, causes, policy, and costs of the incidents, and interviewed a dozen officers involved in a shooting incident.
The study gathered a large amount of statistics, some of which follow.
Eighty-four agencies experienced at least one officer involved shooting
between 2007 and 2011 with a total of 234 officer involved shootings.
Two hundred and seven agencies reported having no officer involved shootings during the time period.
Thirty-five of the officers involved in shooting incidents are no longer employed in law enforcement.
One hundred and sixty-four agencies reported having mandatory post shooting counseling provided to officers.
The study also reveals several factors contributing to deadly force incidents including mentally ill subjects, drugs, gangs and the disposal of seized weapons.

Michael Guy says:
Repsol Honda rider Casey Stoner has announced that he will retire at the end of the 2012 season.
The shock announcement was delivered to a packed press conference at Le Mans ahead of this weekend's MotoGP round.
The 26-year-old who was crowned World Champion in 2008 and 2011 currently leads the 2012 standings by one point from Jorge Lorenzo.
Stoner cited numerous reasons...

Wow. Didn't see that coming! Still, I bet there's quite a few of us who wish we could afford a career break to spend time with our families.
I suspect its a case similar to Graeme Crosby or Mike Hailwood too. Another high class racer who has got fed up of all the politics and posturing behind the scenes we don't get to see. Hopefully he'll be like Mike "The Bike" and make an amazing comeback in a few years, but if not I wish him well.

This has to be the truth. When you've been riding the baddest ass bikes on the planet, setting lap times faster and speeds higher than any other bikes on the planet, why would you want to remain in a series whose future is bent on racing production bikes that have been hopped up like anyone else can ride at the club level? So what if the frame is custom? Even us mortals can take a proddy frame and alter it to make it custom. I've done several myself for land speed efforts.
Yes, MotoGP is becoming club level racing. Don't blame him for leaving one bit. Sucks for us spectators. Looks like Jorge is guaranteed to win next season unless Cal, this season, keeps getting closer to him by season's end.

Sorry to say but im not exactly broken hearted....
I never could understand such complaints doing a job most of us would love to do...
I do wish him and his family well in the future....Maybe we'll see a little stoner in the future..??
But it is no great loss to my love of motogp...

Can't believe this. MotoGP is looking less likely to survive in it's current form now.
Do you think Vale changed his mind about retiring himself after hearing whispers about this? Makes you wonder..

In a recent interview I was asked to list my 5 favorite finds for the summer. Feel free to e-mail me your short list - Summer's not over yet and I'm always looking for that forgotten or hidden gem.
1. Super Duper hats.
I came across this hat company recently while in Florence Italy and I must tell you I think I have a new favorite hat company. The brown straw fedora that I have of theirs is certainly the first of many to come. (www.SuperDuperHats.com)
2. Great fabric.
I went to my favorite fabric place and stocked up on some great summer and winter material for some choice pieces I have in mind. I no longer shop for clothes - I simply acquire pieces that I personalize, having them made from scratch is the epitome of personal.
3. A brand new red Harris Tweed blazer from Orvis.
This was my e-bay find of the Summer. This is one of those items that's not for everyone - therein lies the beauty.
4. Persol Sunglasses
I had a chance to go to Lens Crafters and pick out a pair of sunglasses - While the selection was wide and there were countless commercially cool frames, Persol had the ones that matched my style. (www.LensCrafters.com)
5. The Rake Magazine
In terms of quality and content, this is my favorite men's magazine. I decided to pick up the few issues that I was missing via back order (you can only order it online in the States. The magazine is based in Singapore) It's not a $4 dollar magazine, but I believe it's a keeper and worth every penny. (www.TheRakeOnline.com)

Carole Sheerbaum from West Virginia University Extension Service presented Training for Intervention Procedures to bartenders and servers of Brooke and Hancock Counties.
During this class, she taught how to recognize signs of intoxication, being able to work with guests to promote good customer service and a sociable atmosphere as well as getting guests home safely.
"The whole premise behind TIPs is not drunk driving, the problem is people getting drunk. So if people are not getting drunk they're less likely to get hurt. They're less likely to get into an alcohol related accident," says Sheerbaum.
"People are learning how to observe people when to cut them off it's a good thing for the community we are happy to do it," says Bill Colley Wellsburg Moose Administrator.
Sheerbaum has been teaching TIPS for 10 years now. She says a lot of people who have taken her class really open up and share their experiences and are excited to learn new information.
In the end, all the bartenders just want to make sure their guests have fun but make it home safely.

FTC: Game Ratings Keep On Keeping OnThe Entertainment Software Rating Board's (ESRB) game ratings scale is now more effective than ever thanks to growing retailer participation and parental awareness, a new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report indicates.
Through a mystery shopper program, the FTC found that 42% of unaccompanied children were able to purchase an M-rated game, a significant drop from 85% in 2000 and 69% in 2003 but unchanged from last year. Figures from this and last year bring game retailers in line with movie theaters, which in the FTC's tests allowed only 39% of minors to purchase tickets to R-rated films. Gaming retailers showed significantly better results than movie retailers, however, which allowed 71% of minors to purchase R-rated films on DVD.
Additionally, 87% of parents were aware of the ESRB rating system and over 70% claim to use it when their children want to play a game. Despite the high figures, many of those polled believe the system is not as effective at communicating violence levels as it could be.
To further increase the effectiveness of the ESRB ratings, the FTC suggests content descriptors be relocated from the back of a game box to the front. The report also questions the ESRB's limited enforcement of a policy that prevents M-rated games from advertising on a web site if 45% or more of its reader demographic is under 17.

Design offers the ability to elevate human experience.
That opportunity is at the heart of all my work. Whether designing an individual product or a restaurant serving thousands of guests, I work to arrive at beautiful and intelligent design solutions that nurture users' experience and offer deeper connections with the built environment.
As important as function is to good design, so is beauty.
It is my belief that we subliminally parallel beauty with happiness; that when an environment is striking, balanced, and pleasing to all the senses, we internalize those values and our quality of experience is undeniably heightened.
From color consultations to building design, I strive to deliver honesty, integrity, and genuine lasting beauty.
Full-range design services include:
- Color Consultation
- Concept Development
- Space Planning
- Finish Selection + Specification
- Furnishing Selection + Specification
- Custom Furniture Design
- Building Design
- Architectural Drafting
- Construction Administration
- Surface Design
- Graphic Design
5 Things That Inspire Me
In a recent questionnaire, I was asked to list 5 Things That Inspire Me. This simple exercise was surprisingly therapeutic and centering. Here's my list, anyone else care to join me? What keeps YOU going?
1. My little family: my son {Mead} a pure being that absolutely lives in the moment; and my husband {Sam} who is my partner in life. Because of them, I strive to make our world a better place.
2. Landscape {natural or refined} and the tension that exists between its innate pursuit to thrive and our constructed environments. Specifically I'm fascinated by examples of nature reclaiming its territory, such as vines consuming an abandoned building.
3. Courtyard homes: the layouts, variations, and different cultures that have utilized them over time.
4. The connection between time {history} and place {travel}, as it pertains to design. I envision double-ended arrows extending along different planes, and the point at which they inevitably intersect.
5. Dualities: modern/traditional, handmade/digital, permanence/transience.
If there was ever a question, THIS is why I love what I do
I recently spent a day arranging the furnishings and accessories specified for a client. After the first night spent in her "new" bedroom, I received this email…
"Thought you would like to know I slept better then I have in years!! I did not wake up to my alarm and woke up at 6:30. I wake up at 5:00 am daily and have not slept through an alarm in I am sure over 10 years. I had the most vivid dreams and I am convinced that it is the moving of the bed. I know it. Finally in the right place. SOO CRAZY."
It made my day. There is nothing better than a satisfied client!!
Outline for Serving Up Style filmed interview
Preliminary notes from today's filmed interview for Serving Up Style, the signature fundraising event for Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus taking place this October 4th-7th at the Portland Expo Center…
1. Tell us a little bit about your firm.
My background is in Residential and Hospitality Design. I've worked on high-end restaurant and bar projects, as well as several local and some international residential projects. In 2010 I expanded and ventured into product design, starting first with tile. I now have a decorative ceramic line on the market- the Topo Collection for Clayhaus Ceramics, and am in the process of developing a hydraulic-pressed cement tile company, Archipelago Tile. Look out for the Archipelago Tile display at Serving Up Style! I also have a wallpaper line in the works, soon to be released.
My work focuses on integrity and genuine lasting beauty. I am committed to creating spaces and objects that speak to our deeper desires of connecting with our built environment. I seek opportunities that enrich users' experience through design, whether it's restaurant serving thousands of guests, a kitchen that brings a family together, or a single tile that may be adopted into someone else's vision.
I see my role as an interior designer as the problem solver. When working with clients I strive to clearly understand their goals and listen for what may sometimes be hidden desires. When you can exceed a client's expectations by presenting an idea or solution they hadn't considered, it's an incredible feeling.
2. How did you develop your concept – what ideas led you there?
Almost concurrent to learning I was accepted into Serving Up Style, my family and I received the devastating news that my dear father-in-law had suddenly passed. This project is in many ways a tribute to him.
From the beginning of the design process, I envisioned angled walls and deep, saturated blue tones. I asking myself questions in an attempt to uncover the meaning behind these recurring visions, until I eventually realized they represent impermanence- specifically the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence known as ANNICA. The structure is not a typical rectilinear form that we are familiar with and can easily place our trust in its stability; rather it's atypical and makes us subliminally uneasy, questioning its permanence. This deeply resonated, as I found comfort in the Buddhist approach to grieving that acknowledges everything is in a constant state of flux and permanence is but an illusion. The structure appears able to fold or morph into new forms.
3. What special details in your dining room would you like to highlight?
The form itself is the space's primary detail. In an effort to highlight my experience and love of hospitality design, I branded a restaurant by the same name as the design concept: ANNICA. I had a lot of fun designing the logo and finding ways to express it. I designed plates and menus out of paper and had the logo foil-printed in gold and copper.
Another key feature is the custom pouf ottomans used for seating (rather than chairs). I found a great source on Etsy and contacted about doing custom work. I then designed the fabric and had it printed on cotton upholstery fabric. The result is a completely custom element that embodies the ideals and aesthetic of Stephanie Dyer Interior + Product Design.
Another exciting feature is the custom-outfitted mannequin designed by the winning student team from the Art Institute of Portland. I loved the idea of incorporating a mannequin, to make it almost feel like a museum diorama, and to hint at the idea of couture dining. I organized a competition through the Art Institute's Apparel Department, and have been amazed with the selected team. They've really embodied the design concept and represented it in a highly creative way. I've come to think of this fictional character as a member of the wait staff whose uniform further reinforces the restaurant brand.
4. Tell us about your experience with Molly's Fund
My first experience with Molly's Fund was attending Serving Up Style in 2010. I was so impressed with the exhibit and touched by the message. I have a couple friends with lupus, but was uneducated about it. I thought it was such a unique fundraiser idea and could tell it was successful! I was unfortunately preoccupied during the 2011 show, focusing on being a new mom, but when I saw the ad in Portland Spaces for this year's show I knew I had to pursue it. My knowledge of lupus and appreciation for the foundation has only grown since my involvement. Debbie and David are such wonderful people- the process of being involved in Serving Up Style has been eye-opening on many levels, and I feel blessed to be a part of it.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - "New Day" has landed a new big interview - President Obama.
Chris Cuomo will interview the leader of the free world about his plans to lower skyrocketing college costs. Big international and domestic stories will be discussed as well, although as the interview hasn't happened yet it's hard to say exactly what those will be.
CNN is also asking viewers if they have "questions about cats" for the president, so those might pop up too.
The interview will cap off a week of high-profile exclusives for "New Day," including clips from CNN's upcoming Prince William interview on Monday and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday.
"New Day" airs from 6 to 9 a.m.

UCL Laws People
PhD (Dr. iur. Erlangen 2009), Assessor Juris (Qualified German Lawyer, 2006),
+44 (0)20 7679 1478 | internal: x21478
Tobias Lock joined the Faculty and the Institute of Global in September 2007 as DAAD-Clifford Chance Lecturer in German Law. Before joining UCL he worked as lecturer and researcher at the Chair of Professor Bernhard W. Wegener in the Department of Public Law, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg ( Germany ).
He read law at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (First State Examination, 2004) and at University College Cork (Diploma in Common Law, 2001). He passed his Second State Examination in 2006 after having completed a two year trainee period at the Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht) of Nuremberg and with Jones Day in Brussels where he mainly worked in the fields of State Aid and Competition Law. In 2009 the University of Erlangen awarded him a PhD (Dr. iur.) summa cum laude .
Tobias Lock's research focuses on European and International Law as well as German and Comparative Constitutional Law.
His recently published book deals with The relationship between the European Court of Justice and international courts' (Das Verhältnis zwischen dem EuGH und internationalen Gerichten). It was inspired by the Mox Plant proceedings before the European Court of Justice (Case C-459/03), where the relationship between the ECJ and the ITLOS/UNCLOS and OSPAR arbitral tribunals was at issue. While there was some literature available on the general phenomenon of jurisdictional conflicts in international law and the relationship between international courts, not much had been written from an EC law perspective.
The book first outlines the situation under public international law. It is based on the premise that a conflict of jurisdiction is a treaty conflict. Thus the various ways of resolving treaty conflicts (express clauses, lex posterior , lex specialis and abuse of rights) are examined as to their suitability for the resolution of jurisdictional conflicts. The book then addresses the phenomenon of parallel proceedings and discusses ways of resolving them, such as the application of res judicata , lis alibi pendens and forum non conveniens . As neither of these rules is capable of resolving all potential conflicts (especially not conflicting interpretations of one and the same treaty provision by different courts), the possibility of future reforms is discussed, e.g. the introduction of a duty to exercise comity, the doctrine of stare decisis or appeals to the ICJ. These are largely dismissed as unrealistic or undesirable due to practical reasons (as law-making in international law is cumbersome and can often lead to non-satisfactory results).
The second part of the book addresses the specific problems related to the ECJ as the EU's court. The ECJ enjoys an exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes between Member States (Art. 344 TFEU) regarding Community law. It is argued that this exclusive jurisdiction goes even further and extends to all proceedings before the ECJ. A discussion follows about the Court's jurisdiction over Community agreements with an emphasis on mixed agreements and the solution found in the Mox Plant Case. That solution is found to be correct in the light of the object and purpose of Art. 344 TFEU. The question then asked is whether there are exceptions to the exclusive jurisdiction: first, the applicability of the CILFIT case law, as was argued by an arbitral tribunal in the so-called Ijzeren Rijn Case, and second, whether Member States can simply exclude Community law from the dispute and thus avoid an infringement of Art. 344. It is argued that the latter is generally possible (although not advisable as such a decision would not reflect the true legal situation between Member States). The IJzeren Rijn Tribunal's argument, in contrast, is dismissed. A further and equally important question is whether other international courts (such as the ITLOS in Mox) have a duty to respect the exclusive jurisdiction of the ECJ. Furthermore, the thesis addresses the question of whether the ECJ can be bound by decisions of other courts and tribunals according to a dictum in the ECJ's Opinion 1/91 with a particular emphasis on WTO-DSB decisions and the van Parys case. Finally the thesis discusses the relationship between the ECJ and the ECtHR, de lege lata and de lege ferenca (with particular reference to Art. 52 III of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and an possible accession of the ECHR by the EU).
Tobias is currently researching the EU's accession to the ECHR. He closely follows the negotiations and comments on them at conferences and in scholarly articles. He has just published a paper on the some of the technicalities of an accession in the European Law Review and has started researching its implications on the two European Courts and on the protection of fundamental rights in the Member States.
Furthermore, he is interested in fundamental rights law, having just completed a contribution on religious symbols.

So Robert Downey Jr. is on twitter now and honestly I didn't expect anything less
what have you unleashed
Bucky went to the right man.
Then I remember the episode Reunion. Where Rose freaked out because the Doctor had never even mentioned Sarah Jane Smith to her. Never even said her name before. That was her biggest fear: that the Doctor would someday not think about her. And then, she meets Martha and the first thing she hears is "Oh my god. He found you."
Imagine that. Imagine if the first time you met someone, they immediately say "Oh my god. It's you. Finally."
In that moment, she knows how broken the Doctor was when they got separated. How even his future companions knew how utterly destroyed he was. Because he does not wear his emotions on his sleeve. He buries his pain. And for Martha and Donna to know how hurt he was. Well that's a big deal.
I have a lot of feelings about ghost!winchesters okay
#the souls of two boys tied to a car that still carries them wherever they need to go #they still hunt #they still save people #but they forget that it's weird that you don't have to eat or drink or sleep #they don't bother checking in at motels anymore #just find an empty room and spread out their research #(although it's more books now-sam's computer always seems to be on the fritz) #they laugh at the surprise on a wendigo's face when its claws go right through them #like they're nothing more than smoke #and wow just ghosts saving people from ghosts? #and other hunters talking about the winchesters #'I heard they died' #'they never die. not really. not forever.'

Wild Card Weekend: San Francisco 49ers At Green Bay Packers
Colin Kaepernick was the dominant player on the field when the 49ers defeated the Packers in last year's divisional playoff victory for the 49ers.
Wild Card Weekend: San Diego Chargers At Cincinnati Bengals
Philip Rivers had one of the best seasons of any NFL quarterback – not named Peyton Manning – as he completed 69.5 percent of his passes and had a 32-11 TD-interception ratio.
Wild Card Weekend: New Orleans Saints At Philadelphia Eagles
The Saints had to be quite disappointed that the Cowboys were not able to come up with the victory in the winner-take-all game with the Eagles in Week 17.
Wild Card Weekend: Kansas City Chiefs At Indianapolis Colts
The Chiefs rested Alex Smith in the season finale so he could be healthy and ready for this game. Smith understands what head coach Andy Reid wants to do with the gameplan and he stays calm while executing.
Tale Of The Tape: Baltimore Ravens At Cincinnati Bengals
The Ravens picked the wrong time to come up with their worst game of the year, as they got hammered at home by the Patriots and no longer are in control of their playoff destiny.
Who Had More Picks In 2013? Eli Manning Vs. The Patriots' Draft
You guys. Eli Manning is bad. I don't care if he won 2 Super Bowls. He's bad. He's worse than Peyton Manning. He's worse than Tom Brady. He is worse than Mark Sanchez.

Life Is Not a Snapshot
Josh Wilson
Josh Wilson's second disc brings to mind the exuberant vocals and understated pop sensibilities of a young Steven Curtis Chapman. The gifted singer/songwriter peels back the surface of subjects that he knows about — like his devotion to God — and those that he is still investigating — such as the reason for suffering in the world. With his resilient curiosity, Wilson dresses his questions in light AC grooves ("Listen," "Right in Front of Me") and standard modern worship ("Sing," "Before the Morning"). The short seven-track album concludes with an instrumental rendition of "Amazing Grace" that is ideal soundtrack fodder, though one wonders how such laudable guitar work could be put to better use on a more obscure tune. This disc is a proper stepping stone to even greater output. With a more distinguishable sound, Wilson could really be onto something here.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 11.01.2011
- Construction Spending
- After downward revisions to July and August, private construction spending ticked up 0.6 percent (annualized rate) in September. Residential and non-residential spending both increased, 0.9 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. Looking over the past 12-months, private construction spending is up almost 4.0 percent with non-residential spending driving the gain. Non-residential spending is up 7.4 percent from this time last year, with September marking its fourth straight annual percentage increase. Commercial, educational, transportation, and power are driving the increase while sectors like lodging and religious are struggling to break out of trend declines or flat activity. Within commercial, warehouse construction spending is the best performer, posting annual gains for the past five months with September spending up 38 percent since September 2010. On the residential side, multi-family construction (up 6.5 percent over the year) continues to outperform single-family home construction (−0.1 percent since this time last year). Home improvement spending continues on a bumpy path. After posting double-digit percentage gains in the spring, the past couple of months its been down slightly.

A home improvement retail chain can use an app running on an iPad to help design a customer's home, check inventory for the products, give a cost estimate to the customer, and take orders. Yet another app called iPeople allows human resources executives to drill down into a visual of employees' business cards to access information based on a variety of parameters.
SAP, the company behind these apps, has been largely identified with complex back-end business software for enterprise resource planning, business intelligence, customer relationship management, and its new in-memory database HANA. Its goal now in the mobile arena is to create a brand for itself in enterprise mobility like Apple did in consumer mobility, said Sanjay Poonen, president of technology solutions and head of the mobile division at SAP, in an interview on Wednesday. That goal requires investments in mobile security, the platform for applications, and in the mobile applications themselves, he said.
[ Also on InfoWorld: SAP aims to give its business software a makeover. | Get the best apps for your mobile device: InfoWorld picks the best iPad office apps, the best iPad specialty business apps, the best Android office apps, and the best Android specialty apps. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
The company acquired some of the technologies for this strategy through its acquisition of Sybase in 2010.
Much in the same way that there was a consumer revolution in mobility in the last three to four years with games like Angry Birds and social software, businesses are now demanding the ability to access information and run their businesses from mobile devices, Poonen said.
SAP plans to build packaged apps that are "repeatable" and it can sell to a large number of customers, as well as custom apps built by SAP's consulting practice.
The company has also put its mobile platform in the cloud, and will soon announce that it is opening the platform to developers for free for developing and testing applications on up to five devices. The company decided to allow developers up to five devices because they are likely to develop the app for a variety of operating systems including iOS and Android. "The moment they deploy them in production they pay us for a license to use the platform," Poonen said.
"We would like to see tens of thousands of apps that are built around our platform," he added.
In some cases, SAP will also license and sell an app. The iPeople app for example was developed by a company from which SAP has licensed the product because it is expected to be relevant to a large variety of customers, Poonen said.
The play can be large for SAP. The company said on Thursday that its mobile revenue was €48 million ($62 million) in the third quarter, and was on track to meet its full-year forecast of €220 million. The revenue is expected to come from both platforms and apps.
Apps also help sell backend software, as customers now want their ERP or CRM software provider to support apps for mobile devices to manage and access data, Poonen said.

If you are reading this, you probably asked yourself, "what bug leaves white foam on plants?" The answer is a spittlebug.
Signs of a Spittlebug Infestation
The tell tale sign of spittlebugs is plant foam. This plant foam will normally appear in the plant where the leaf attaches to the stem or where two branches meet. It will look like white foam, a pile of bubbles or a big gob of spit.
Is a Spittlebug Damaging to Plants?
Other than looking unsightly, spittlebugs do very little damage to a plant. They do suck some of the sap from the plant, but rarely enough to harm the plant. The plant foam serves mostly to hide the adult and immature spittlebugs.
Organic or Homemade Insecticide for Spittlebugs
When looking for an organic spittlebug killer, you must keep in mind that you are looking for something that will not only kill the spittlebug but will repel further infestation.
A garlic or hot based organic or homemade insecticide for spittlebugs works well. You can do a double whammy with the following organic and homemade insecticide for spittlebugs:
Organic spittlebug killer recipe
1/2 cup hot peppers, diced
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups water
2 teaspoons liquid soap (without bleach)
Puree peppers, garlic and water together. Let sit for 24 hours. Strain and mix in the liquid soap. Wipe the plant foam off the plant and spray all parts of the plant.
Now that you know a little more about spittlebugs you know what bug leaves white foam on plants and what you can do to stop it.
BEFORE USING ANY HOMEMADE MIX: It should be noted that any time you use a home mix, you should always test it out on a small portion of the plant first to make sure that it will not harm the plant. Do not use on waxy or hairy-leaved plants. Also, avoid using any bleach-based soaps or detergents on plants since this can be harmful to them. In addition, it is important that a home mixture never be applied to any plant on a hot or brightly sunny day, as this will quickly lead to burning of the plant and its ultimate demise.

If you need a fix for your sweet tooth this weekend, check out the third annual Food Blogger Bake Sale.
The event, part of Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale, is one of nearly 500 such sales across the country. The money raised will support Share Our Strength's programs to end childhood hunger. Last year's Atlanta Food Blogger Bake Sale was the most successful one in the U.S., raising over $4000. Food stylist and blogger Tami Hardeman (@runwithtweezers), who is leading the charge once more, says, "I'm determined to match… or BEAT… that number. We need your help…"
The local bake fest will be held in front of The Cook's Warehouse at Ansley Mall in Midtown from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. this Saturday, Apr. 28. More than 20 bakers will offer up their best for the sale. In addition to goods from local bloggers, look for treats from Bear Maker Bakery, Red Queen Tarts and Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse. Early reports on Twitter (#ATLBakeSale) suggest you'll also find peanut-butter-toffee cookies and homemade salted-caramel sauce.
The deal gets even sweeter. If you make a purchase at the bake sale, you'll also receive a coupon from The Cook's Warehouse for 10% off any regularly priced item in the store.
9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Apr. 28. The Cook's Warehouse at Ansley Mall: 1544 Piedmont Avenue, Atlanta. See the Atlanta bake sale team's website.

The McCarran Airport was having issues with their trams operating Sunday morning resulting in some trams not working properly.
McCarran Airport officials noticed there was an electrical failure at 3:30 a.m. and started implementing a bussing system to resolve issues.
Once passengers were cleared through the airport security checks busses shuttled passengers to their boarding gates.
The airport said all six trams are now back online. There were some delays, but McCarran has resolved all travel issues for their passengers and all the trams have been fixed.

That video was fantastic! What a fabulous idea!
Magical Piano Brings Holiday Cheer to Station
Chicago train travelers were recently greeted by a holiday surprise in Union Station's Great Hall. The Magical Piano played everything from Chopsticks to Deck the Halls as busy travelers rushed to their trains.
In the opening scene, a little girl plays the Magical Piano not knowing that it will come to life. While she plays the keys, it magically joins in playing a duet with the little girl in the middle of Chicago's busy train station.
When an older gentleman walks up to the piano, it joins his harmonica performance seamlessly. Throughout the video surprised travelers turn around to look at the Magical Piano and the visitors who are making it come to life.
Perhaps the most magical moment comes when Santa even joins the fun. Santa tells the Magical Piano to be quiet as it happily plays Deck the Halls for onlookers in Chicago.
Each year, more than 31 million passengers, on 300 daily Amtrak and Metra trains, pass through Chicago Union Station. The station's main attraction is Amtrak's Great Hall where the Magical Piano was positioned. It has a 300-foot-long barrel-vaulted skylight that soars 115 feet over the room.
Have you been to Chicago Union Station? Tell us about your experience in the comments below!

The girl must have thought she was great.
Union Station's great hall is a magical place, well suited for this magical piano. LOVE IT!

Here is the memo from SecDef Robert Gates to CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus agreeing to a requested name change from "Operation Iraqi Freedom" to "Operation New Dawn" on 1 September 2010 to reflect the change in mission there.

Here is the memo from SecDef Robert Gates to CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus agreeing to a requested name change from "Operation Iraqi Freedom" to "Operation New Dawn" on 1 September 2010 to reflect the change in mission there.

I wonder if this isn't a disguised financing measure. By changing the 'mission' it will be easier to declare that Iraq is no longer a combat zone and will mean that almost 100,000 Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen will no longer be tax exempt and will no longer (potentially) receive combat pay. I'd imagine they'd still qualify for hazardous duty but the difference over that many service members can be huge.
The following areas qualify for Imminent Danger Pay. Do you really expect Iraq to suddenly be removed from the list because the changed the operational name? That is a rather absurd notion.
2009 Combat Zones
Afghanistanland and airspace
Bahrainland and airspace
East Timorland

We rename operations all the time. Operation Desert Shield became Desert Storm became Northern Watch became Provide Comfort based on the situation on the ground. In September of this year we basically stop doing combat operations in Iraq and concentrate on training and packing up.
^^I thought that was already happening…Oh yeah, I forgot. Go team america.
Operation: USELESS DIRT 2 will always be Operations USELESS DIRT 2.
Its amazing. There really was no 'Iraqi war' . When the US stopped 'fighting', the war also ended. Its like 'what was that all about'? The US invaded the country illegally, stayed with the 'permission' of the Iraqi Government (if only to stabilize what they un-stabilized), and then quietly left hoping that things more or less as they were before they invaded..
So with 360,000 dead Iraqis, 4000-5000 dead Americans, just on a $$$TRILLION spent using their Chinese Credit card and taking the whole world to the brink of a huge depression, WHAT was it all about and what was achieved. What is different in Iraqi today from that before 9/11 (which it had nothing to do with).
Just a fact,Operation Iraqi freedom was not a reaction to 9/11… Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan was a consequence of 9/11
You might also have heard that Osama has been killed as well. Go back to whatever socialist country you came from and keep your filthy mouth shut about matters you know nothing of.
well pete, saddam is dead. that is nice. oh and al quaida got its ass kicked.
So it was just an assasination mission, and Al Quaida was never even in Iraqi at the time of the illegal invasion. Saddam hated Bin Laden. I think that the facts clearly show that the US "got its ass kicked", in fact the so called "insurgents" that resisted the invasion (they certainly were not all Al Quadia) more than bitch slapped the US Army. They never stopped fighting until the US withdrew from the cities into thier protected bases, Why fight an enemy that is retreating?
The US can beleive what it wants, but the rest of the world holds a different view.
And you can believe whatever you want too.
What part of the world are you from?
Iraq was done when we rolled into Baghdad. We just mopped up Iraqi version of the Cryps and Bloods..Back into your liberal bottle and join the 290 million head-in-the-sand Americans. Electing a Chicago gangster Socialist was our darkest hour. Serving the USA for 20+ years and I am repaid by a Socialist regime of the Clintons and Now Obama. At least Bush cared about the troops. Obama is just looking for the right time to betray us. He already has the country in hock because of his socialist plans… Oh, yeah, Saddam=Dead, Al Queda=Bitch slapped, Taliban=on extinction list.
i so agree with this post
Sounds like you who agree with any policy as long as your killing any no whites for any reason……try killing the KKK (Cryps) and the skinheads (Bloods)….bet you would NEVER to that to those TERRORISTS
Don't agree. US Airmen deployed right now.
We went into Iraq because the U.S. was told Saddam had WMD's. He didn't, I was there. I was part of the illegal invasion of a country. Something I am not proud of. I did it because I sign the contract. We had no right to be in Iraq, Saddam was not bothering anyone outside of Iraq. The real fight was up north.
Oh to extend on 'River Brat''s point, FDR, TEDDY Roosevelt a REPUBLICAN, and many other presidents were socialist. Socialism is the alternative to conservatism with liberalism in the center. The largest political organisation in the world is Socialist International. And just to scare the bajeezes out of you, the govt of Britain is *gasp* socialist and has been since 1997!
"Serving the USA for 20+ years and I am repaid by a Socialist regime of the Clintons and Now Obama."
With this attitude, why did you serve? You clearly have no interest in preserving democracy/the constitution. Maybe it was because you were a backwaters hick with no other options. That sounds about right.
Lets here it now how much of a liberal moonbat I am.
You sound like Pete.
He's Pete 2.0
Obviously you never served Pete the Second.
Hey, it just means I get another service star added to my campaign ribbon the next time I deploy, Hooah!
No, r-tard, it's not the same campaign anymore. As of 1 September, nobody will ever again be awarded the OIF ribbon, which means no more stars for it. You, if you were in the Army, would know this, and would get the OND ribbon were you to put boots to that sand.
Whoever "River Brat" is…..he needs to shut the fu@k up! I hate bastards who don't know what the fu@k they are talking about!
Ginsu – you call people a retard when actually its not the OIF ribbon its the Iraqi Campaign Medal and this all still falls under the Iraqi Campaign no matter what the name is. If i had to take an educated guess this new operation would just be another campaign star on the Iraqi Campaign Medal. But what the hell do I know im just an NCO serving in the 1 Brigade Combat Team that is still in Iraq after the 1 Sep deadline.
get em big sarge!
rgr that sarge
Spot on.
Three service stars on my Southwest Asia Medal (Desert Shield, Desert Storm & Desert whatever they called it after the ceasefire) and that was for anyone there just from Jan-April 91.
Pete, Istead of spewing useless jabber on here why dont you deploy in the U.S. armed forces to Iraq and ask the locals who are now able to live there lives with out fear of being kiddnapped or murdered. Maybe if you took the time and found the courage to come over and have a word with a few of them you might see what we did here. I think the US troops that died with honor here would be proud to know that we HAVE made a better life for the inocent locals here and changed the ways of thier corrupt military. If you would rather just talk a big game from your desk thats fine…not everyone can make a change in the world.
ummm im in the army too, and glad to be serving. however, iraqi's are getting kidnapped and murdered more than ever right now. there are so many revenge killings going on because of sunni and shi'a differences. what sucks is we have to sit by and watch it happen because of ROEs. but it is what it is
I agree. After Baghdad, we sat on our six waiting for the Bush Administration to figure out what to do next. Pawns in someone's game.
First off as a soldier id have to say im disappointed in all these 'americans' that do not support their troops. I don't give a **** if you don't support the war. But if you don't have the balls to fight for your **** country you better support the ones that do. Otherwise I say get out of america and go live in the middle east and try using your freedom of speech.
Those fighting volunteered. Wanted to be in the military of just didn't pay attention in school to earn that scholarship. It doesn't matter if someone fights for this or that. It is about respect and agree to disagree. I am a vet. I joined when I was 17. First in the Army then in the Navy as a corpsman with the Marines.
You talk about supporting the troops. I agree, support those troops who need jobs now. Education paid for for those with Honorable Discharge. You want people to support those overseas, sure, I will go out and spend a dollar on a magnet yellow ribbon for the car. Wow, I feel so much better.
Can we end Desert Storm while we're at it? I served through that war and there's never been an end declared there. Way overdue.
Don't forget the Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq were the nail in the coffin to create AFRICOM and thus the illegal invasions of Lybia, and currently Syria. But way before this was the Latin invasions of Panama, Hondura, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia that put in practice what we all are aware today. In the horizant, Uganda is on the agenda (KONY 2012 propaganda). If you believe all this wars are about FREEDOM, you have been sadly misseducated in the U.S.A.
I am an Army Veteran of Yogoslavia, Serbia, Kosovar, Iraq.
i should have been a pog
Yes you did yuor part, Hailburtion is thanking you all the way to the bank. I have served this useless war twice and will not was my time again givin our :freedom" to say anything in the Army.

The former Harris County detention officer convicted of child pornography will be going to prison for 15 years.
Lawyers for David Land agreed to the deal after prosecutors found 9,500 images and 62 videos of children engaging in sex on Land's computers.
The arrest was a result of an internet crimes against children investigation into land distributing two videos of minors in sexually explicit acts. When officers searched Land's home in Porter, they discovered an unrelated ten-year old boy living there.
The boy told police that Land had discussed sex acts with him, but he had never been touched. Experts say that is typical predator grooming behavior.

I'm supposed to go pick up the home inspection report this morning. The inspection last night was quite interesting and I wound up with about ten pages of notes on it. It was just as I predicted – nothing big, but tons of very small nit-picky stuff – lots of fifteen minute tasks, about 90% of which I could easily do myself. I called our agent afterwards and after hearing the list, he suggested that we ask for a small cash stipend to take care of it ourselves and then just hold that cash for a serious repair.
Don't Be Fooled Into Thinking An Oil Change Every 3000 Miles Is Necessary I do my own oil changes (would this be an interesting photo diary) and after checking my car's manual, I discovered that my truck should have a change every 5,000 miles. So, compared to where I was two years ago (paying for an oil change every 3,000 miles), I'm saving a ton of cash. The key point is to check your manual to see how often it needs an oil change.

Backstage at Ruffian: An Ode to the Original Bad Girls
French wild child and novelist Francoise Sagan, who drove race cars, kept bad boyfriends, and ended up in rehab in Saint-Tropez, inspired the clothes in the collection. She was essentially the original Lindsay Lohan "…except she could write," explained Brian Wolk, one half of the Ruffian design duo. Another author and bad girl, this one British, inspired the makeup and hair: Lady Caroline Blackwood.
As a nod to the beauty muse and the sixties, makeup artist James Kaliardos circled the eye in a gray shade from MAC called March Mist with a 213 brush, and added shadow, dubbed Particularly Pretty (both colors from the Spring/Summer '14 Trend Forecast Eye Palette), to both the middle of the lid and the cheeks as a highlighter. Four individual lashes were placed on the center of the upper lash line to open up the eye, and Haute & Naughty Mascara was brushed on both top and bottom. "It's quite lash-y, but still a soft look," explained the face painter. Lips were dabbed with a soft apricot called Trendy Twist (also from a Spring/Summer '14 Trend Forecast Palette).
Hair pro Nick Irwin applied Catwalk by TIGI Curlesque Lightweight Mousse to the halo area before blow-drying and adding a deep side part, which he set with Sleek Mystique Look-Lock Hairspray. To create the appearance of a set that had fallen out, he wrapped sections around a curling rod and then finger-combed.
"We wanted to bring minimalism to nail art this season," said Wolk, imploring finger painter Cheryl Natoli and their own brand of circular nail sticker-stencils (available soon on Birchbox) to get the signature Ruffian crescent shape. The three lacquers in their newly launched Crowdsourced Collection were used around the edges of a nude-colored nail bed, extending all the way to squared-off tips. They also debuted a treatment, base coat, matte finisher, as well as black, scented polish-remover towelettes (arriving later this fall) backstage.

I will never be normal again my thoughts just consume and eat away at me each day. My eating disorder is growing very large is going to attack me one day very soon I'm so sick of looking at my body and thinking it's disgusting. I look at myself with absolute disgust. I hate everything I have I've done and I hate everything about me no one will ever change my thoughts ever on how I feel about that. & i'm scared suicide crosses my mind every day but no one around knows it because I keep all demonized thoughts hidden. I just wish I could find happiness but i can't when i have totally made myself into a piece of shit. & what makes it worse I sit home most of the days alone having my thoughts go crazy and making my mind twist and change things making me feel so dead and unhappy. I wish i wasn't such a waste of spaceeee.

Low carb pikelet layer cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting
My friend introduced me to an amazing low carb crepe recipe from I Breathe I'm Hungry. It's also extremely adaptable! So when my friend had the brilliant idea for a low carb crepe cake with a dark chocolate ganache frosting, I thought I'd give it a go too, except I'd adapt the original recipe to get pancakes instead of crepes - because I wasn't going to stand around making all those bajillion layers :P
I also used a mini egg frypan so that I could get a consistent shape. Because it's so small, I guess I got pikelets (aka mini pancakes). They are so cute!
Considering the extreme experimentation at every step, I'm surprised it turned out edible. Oooh yes, very edible. I brought it to work and even my expert baker colleague was impressed.
Makes four 10cm pikelets
- 2 eggs
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1.5-2 tbs coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- generous sprinkle of cinnamon
- optional: maple syrup or other sweetener (I used about 1 tbs)
- butter or other fat for frying
- Beat eggs and cinnamon together.
- Beat in the rest of the ingredients.
- Melt a sliver of butter in an egg frypan. Drop in a quarter of the batter mixture. Swirl continuously so that the mixture spreads out evenly (it will look too thick to spread properly but it will!). Repeat for the rest of the mixture.
- Cool on a wire rack.
(Recipe adapted from I Breathe I'm Hungry, via carbsovereasy.)
All measures are approximate - I eyeballed the amounts and didn't actually measure them. It doesn't matter overly much though, as it's frosting :)
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1.5 tbs cream
- Optional: maple syrup or other sweetener to taste (I used about 1/2 tbs)
- 25g dark chocolate (I used 70%)
- Beat cream cheese, cream and sweetener (if using) together till smooth.
- Reserve 1/4 of the mixture.
- Melt chocolate over a water bath.*
- Mix in melted chocolate with 3/4 of the cream cheese mixture.
* Remember to use GENTLE heat - I've split my chocolate too many times to count because of my impatience :(
Putting it all together
- Make a pikelet stack, spreading the reserved white frosting in between the layers. Put in freezer for a couple of minutes to set it.
- If there's any leftover white frosting, mix it into the chocolate frosting mixture.
- Apply chocolate frosting to outside of pikelet stack. It's a bit fiddley because it's so small but I find it helps if you dollop frosting on top then swoop it down over the sides with a palette knife.
- Optional: Top with toasted nuts (I've used flaked almonds here).
- Chill to set frosting.

HBO Gay Series 'Looking': Meet The Lead Characters
HBO is giving us a closer look at the lead characters of the upcoming San Francisco-based gay series, Looking! (Watch a trailer here.)
Check out this intro to Patrick (Jonathan Groff), Agustin (Frankie J. Alvarez), and Dom (Murray Bartlett) as we prepare to jump into their world on January 19!!
(H/T: Towleroad)
Doesn't anyone remember QUEER AS FOLK? Now THAT was a show that embraced all types & colors, & situations in the gay community. Yeah the BRIAN character was ludicrous, but didn't we all know someone like at least one of the characters? As far as I'm concerned, not knocking it, but this type of series has been done before.
Predictable comments from white gay men who are threatened by even the slightest challenge to their embrace of the Jim Crow self-segregation so rampant in the gay community. Why are the pro-WHITES ONLY gays so invested in preventing others from questioning it? Maybe its because if our hetero allies knew how racist the gay community is, we'd lose them and rightfully so. Bars having "Asian nights" and "hip-hop (read black) nights", The Abbey refusing to hire anything but white or white-tino bartenders, quotas on the amounts of black gogo boys, n-bombs dropped indiscriminately...I could go on and on. Pathetic. Thank goodness Andrew Christian started sleeping with a black guy who he subsequently tapped to model his underwear -- otherwise his company would still be lily white.
I agree with those saying if you don't like the show, don't watch. And I submit that if you don't people complaining that gay media almost always resembles an Aryan Youth advertisement, don't listen. Everybody wins.
A lot of these comments are so crazy...talking like Gay people are a race and demanding that the influence of the rainbow be met white, black, Latino etc...just out of your own pains or perspectives. Gay people are just normal people....they are an array of race, personality and integrity. I'm sure If the story wasn't coming from some one trying to show a specific thought I'm sure everyone of racial equality would be represented. Just sit back and watch or DON'T! Must your negativity be heard? I am a fan of many HBO shows and am happy to see lots of the raw talent being birthed on this channel. Go ahead and judge my statements but first judge me right. I am a white, 29 year old male, twin brother, uncle, and a faithful to God person aka...Christian, and I'm very open minded and want to see what these artists have In store for this show. I will be watching in hopes that the show ends up meaning something. I don't understand being hateful, or unjust to something you haven't fully seen. There are many episodes to be shown. Please be more respectful to what the show is about (people) verses it being exactly what YOU want it to be. From what I've seen and experienced, the gay community is much nicer than what many of the above comments have been. Also remember, the writers of this show are people and ultimately artists that are working to portray the main points they're suppose to get across. PS...none of this was meant to be offensive...my point to be perceived was just, "Watch if you want to, don't complain because it's another interesting show on HBO that is about normal people!"
peace out
As a citizen of SF I can say the diversity here isn't typical of the diversity that some of the comments are calling for. There are very few black men here. Jokingly I think there may only be ten. For them you need to go to Oakland. Our people of color are Asian and Latin, who are exceedingly young and clique-ish. SF is evolving into a new environment. It's very white, hetero, rich and conservative. This show is only a story. Some of it may be based on fact but most of it is the imagination of some writers, who probably aren't gay. People quit taking it so fucking seriously and focus on your own lives. Write your own goddamn fantasy story about diversity in SF. I won't believe it either, I just hope it's well written. Smooches XXX
The show has not even started yet and people are hating on it. We need to support the community, I'm very excited, HBO does not put out shit, it will be amazing!!!!!
I don't get it. If you watch the trailers, there is latino main character. His black boyfriend, Jonathan Groff's Asian coworker and his latino love interest (the guy on the muni). Gosh please complain before you watch the show. There are people of color in this show...
No older guys....don't older single gay guys exist? Am I the only one? No overweight guys? No unattractive guys? I won't be watching another show about twinkies "looking." Who cares?
I agree about no black main charters also I bet no Hispanic charters as well as no bigger men in them unless being put down by show. I just hope they are not filled with hairless twinks of any age. Men have hair. I can not find the American version of QAF on either Hulu Plus or Netflixs. I don't imagine I will be seeing this series in near future.
I'll just go ahead and live my life, thanks. Don't need a show to tell me all about life in San Francisco for gay guys. #tired
The 70's porn stache makes him look older.
And hotter!
Yeah Dom is hot as hell. And his story arc reminds me(so far) of myself. A lot. They could have been talking about me when they shot this video. No joke.
That said, I understand the furor over the lack of diversity in this. It's a bit disappointing. But you know what? I don't see any of you producing your own shows. When you do that, you can do it any way you want.
One more thing. I don't see a lot of diversity in groups of friends in the gay scene. Everyone gravitates towards their own little group. Bears, otters, chubs, gays of color, etc....if you want more diversity portrayed, then demonstrate diversity in the way you live.
P.S. I'm black, if you were wondering.
I find all the 'taste the rainbow' and 'where's the color' comments really pathetic. Does everything nowadays have to be about race and racism? Give me a break 'ultra liberal ladies lookin for a way to be offended'. Stop he whining.... Did you take into consideration that just maybe the talent was not there--I have seen few episodes of Noah's Ark. I would bet to wager that if it the acting wasn't up to par in the show, you'd be the same people complaining about that too.
I for one will be turning in to see this original HBO series. Why, because it looks like a damn great show. The acting looks awesome, the situations look engaging and realistic and, let's face it, the men are hot! Hoping this show is a huge hit!!
Like the A-List Dallas they Canceld that Guy Crockers like the rest lied there way all through the show and the other Alists NewYork then they had them On Wendy it was all Phony he thinks that Type Of behavour is execptible I'm suprised he's not HIV + now he doesn't use condoms and his Quote and I Hope what I did"" hehehe"" Stayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy's In Antonio Texas Put Stuff on Thats Real life not made Up Shit Ok were the Public we have the RIGHT to say what can and Cannot Be airred The CRTC AND CTTS Here In Canada makes the Final Desion Not The TV Station . The Out TV still trying to get there Licence renewd all the time if there gonna keep putting shows like this out on the market no wonder hy People are not gonna watch they also stated there Brodcasted in HDTV now there running it 2/0 Not 3.2/1 <----- thats HD yea Iddiot's lol
Just what the gay community needs. Another gay show shoving Whites as the epitome of gay male beauty in our face. And the morons of gay media and its dimwitted followers acting like it's something new.
It's the same old crap, just different White (or light) faces. And before any moron tries to say, "the cast isn't only White", if such is the case,...the why does Instinct, Out, The Advocate, and every gay media source keep using pics of a White cast member to promote this "show"?
And I put "show" in quotes for those very reasons. It's a waste of television for waste products to view.
KISS THE RAINBOW, people!
Yes Just go watch Will N Grace and shut up, or All my Children re-runs on hula OK? no one care what you think, the show takes place in San Francisco White People is who do live there for the most Part, do they need to bus in a Rainbow of people to get your ass to watch it?
go kiss my Ass Xavier!
Dont watch it
Dont watch it
What? Wasn't the 'most successful' homosexual show of late cast with all black men---um, yeah! Noah's Ark boosted ratings upon an older gay crowd equally as it did with the young. The majority of viewers within logo statistics were 'white'.... So, how bout placing that RACE CARD back on the table and don't trump the bitch until you give the show a chance?
Looks good. That's all I got.
I' m going to pass on this Yet another gay series and not one character( lead or supporting) is a person of color and San Francisco IS a diverse city. This show us like Friends or Sex in the City just with gay men
Funny you should say that's the reason to pass on this one. I didn't care for Noah's Arc initially because it had (and never did) include a white character. But it still turned out to be a good show.
And the most likely reason, "Dallas", that "Noah's Arc" was done that way is because a gazillion shows (straight and gay) have dismissed the existence of the Black population. So while that troubled me about "Noah Arc" as well because 2 wrongs don't make a right, you can't really make such a comparison. Not without showing yourself to have a massive degree of racial insensitivity to how jaded and racist the powers-that-be (who are often White) in Hollywood and network television are.
"Looking" is television's Gay Exhibit A of 2014.
I wish someone would have the bright idea to buy the rights to the "Buddies" series of books (by author Ethan Mordden) and make a series drawn on those.
"Noah's Ark" with white gays. Oh well, it worked with Elvis.
"Noah's Ark" was "Sex and the City" with black gay men. This series is more like a cross between "Queer as Folk" and Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City", in my opinion.
Can't wait.
Hmmm... promising new series :)
It might be brilliantly written and brilliantly acted, but with the Extra Nauseating Super Shaky Cam™, I won't be able to watch it. Sigh. When will Hollywood ever learn?
Totally agree, I know the shaky camera work is designed to feel real - but it turns my stomach and gives me a splitting headache. Won't be toning in if migraines are on the menu.

And for you naysayers. Sure we don't NEED more slots. But I am an avid rare collector, and it stinks to have to release pets you've worked so hard to get. With many of the rares sharing abilities, it's not at all game breaking to give us even 100 (or unlimited) stable slots . It just makes the game a bit more fun for us rare spawn addicts. As for some of you. YES I DO remember the days of 3 slot stables, leveling pets from their tame level, and running across the world looking for creatures with skills I needed for my combat pet. However, if I want to waste my time taming 10 spirit beasts and 15 cats, that's my business. Blizz, give me the space! :D
