Paula Deen discrimination lawsuit tossed out
A federal judge Monday threw out race discrimination claims by a former Savannah, Ga., restaurant manager whose lawsuit against Paula Deen has already cost the celebrity cook a valuable chunk of her culinary empire.
Lisa Jackson sued Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, last year saying she suffered from sexual harassment and racially offensive talk and employment practices that were unfair to black workers during her five years as a manager of Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House. Deen is co-owner of the restaurant, which is primarily run by her brother.
But claims of race discrimination by Jackson, who is white, were gutted in the 20-page opinion by U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. The judge agreed with lawyers for Deen and Hiers that Jackson has no standing to sue her former employers for what she claims was poor treatment of black workers.
Jackson, at best, "is an accidental victim of the alleged racial discrimination," Moore said in his ruling.
Guns N Roses and a police chopper
Las Vegas police are investigating whether employees went too far for reportedly helping the guitarist of Guns N Roses execute a grand romantic gesture.
Daren Jay "DJ" Ashba posted a photo on Instagram Saturday of himself and his girlfriend, Colombian actress and model Nathalia Henao, wearing helicopter headgear. He thanked the Las Vegas police department for "the most amazing" private helicopter tour over the city, saying it ended in a field at police headquarters, where he proposed amid roses and "a bottle of the bubble stuff."
"That was the most incredible day of our life!!" he wrote in the post, which came after a picture of a round-cut diamond solitaire with the caption, "She said yes!!!"
Las Vegas police issued a statement Sunday acknowledging two civilians were granted a ride-along in a helicopter, although they didn't mention names and didn't offer many details.

Miller (2-2) struck out six, walked a pair and scattered five hits over five frames, throwing 91 pitches to pick up the "W" five days after he held New Orleans to a run over five innings for his first Triple-A victory.
The right-hander worked into and out of trouble in the first inning when Anthony Rizzo singled to load the bases following consecutive walks to leadoff man Brett Jackson and Dave Sappelt. Miller struck out Luis Valbuena and Welington Castillo and then popped up Adrian Cardenas to escape the jam.
Miller worked a 1-2-3 second, struck out Jackson and Sappelt in the third, and, with runners on the corners in the fourth, he caught Travis Wood looking to end the frame.
Valbuena doubled with two outs in the fifth, bringing the tying run to the plate, but Rizzo popped up to third baseman Zack Cox to end the inning and Miller's afternoon.
Miller, the Cardinals' Minor League Pitcher of the Year for the past two seasons, entered his first Triple-A season as the No. 5 overall prospect in baseball and the No. 2 right-handed pitcher behind Atlanta's Julio Teheran. He's 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA with 25 strikeouts and eight walks in 18 innings.
St. Louis' first-round pick in 2009 allowed four runs in each of his first two starts, taking losses against Oklahoma City. He split the 2011 season between Class A Advanced Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield, finishing 9-3 with a 2.70 ERA in 16 starts.
Adron Chambers, Ryan Jackson and Bryan Anderson drove in the runs for Memphis on Tuesday, while Travis Wood (1-2) allowed two runs -- one earned -- and struck out eight over six innings to suffer the loss for the Cubs. Wood was acquired with Sappelt during the offseason from the Reds in the deal that sent Sean Marshall to Cincinnati.

BEIJING, July 10 China's trade outlook is deteriorating as exporters lose confidence in the face of weak external demand, rising labour costs and a stronger yuan currency, the country's customs department said on Wednesday.
The comments came after China's exports fell 3.1 percent in June from a year earlier, the first decline since January 2012 and well below market expectations, reinforcing signs of a economic slowdown in the world's second-largest economy.
Economists had expected exports to grow 4.0 percent and imports to rise 8.0 percent last month.
Customs spokesman Zheng Yuesheng said June's trade figures may more accurately reflect the true picture of China's export performance after the government began a crackdown on an exporters' practice of booking speculative inflows as trade deals, which had inflated export figures earlier this year.
"Exports in the third quarter look grim," said Zheng, noting that 49.2 percent of respondents in the bureau's monthly survey for June saw a drop in the value of new export orders and 43.8 percent were not optimistic about their exports in the next two to three months.
The survey also found that 69.1 percent of the exporters complained about rising costs overall, 70.5 percent noted rising labour costs and 59.8 percent complained about a rising yuan hurting their businesses.

CHARGERS: Smith faces key personnel judgments that will shape team's future
SAN DIEGO ---- The typical turnaround from an NFL game is 24 hours. Coaches and players give themselves a day to revel in or mourn the result of a Sunday's work before moving on to the next opponent or task at hand.
A day can turn into weeks and months after a stunning upset like the Chargers' 17-14 divisional playoff loss to the New York Jets at Qualcomm Stadium. Some players said the pain and humiliation will stick with them throughout the offseason, until the routine of training camp can dull the disappointment.
A.J. Smith's turnaround was a lot shorter than that. The Chargers general manager was thinking exclusively about next season by Monday at noon.
"A new year is beginning," Smith said. "That has to happen right when the season stops. When it stops this abruptly, it's just terrible, but you have to move on."
Smith already has preliminary thoughts on how he would like to proceed throughout the offseason, but he won't act on them for a while. A few weeks are set aside as a cooling-off period to strip emotion from his decisions. That's allowed because very little will happen before the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.
When Smith and the Chargers pro personnel department emerge from their brief hibernation, they'll have several key decisions to make. The Chargers have 22 free agents of varying classifications to deal with, a huge group that includes several impact players.
"This offseason won't be structured any different," Smith said. "But there are so many quality players who are a major part of our success that could go into certain free-agent categories. We'll find those designations at the beginning of March when the league gives them to us. We'll proceed at that point, and we'll do the very best we can in dealing with those situations.
"There is a lot to do. There's no question about that, but we'll address each spot and make the best decision for us."
There's rampant speculation about what Smith will do with free agents such as outside linebacker Shawne Merriman, receiver Vincent Jackson, left tackle Marcus McNeill and running back Darren Sproles. The conventional wisdom is that running back LaDainian Tomlinson will be released by March 1, when a $2 million roster bonus is due.
Smith won't give credence to any rumors, and surely won't tip his hand.
"What we do is we take a step back for a few weeks to assess the team and the direction we want to go," Smith said. "I have preliminary thoughts about what I'd like to do, but I'll let everything settle before we go through player evaluations. We evaluate everyone from Philip Rivers to guys on the practice squad, and make decisions from there."
While Smith remains cryptic, one thing is certainly clear. With so many impact players to sign, the Chargers can't possibly afford them all. The Chargers will place a value and priority on each of them and make adjustments after free agency begins March 5 and other teams get involved.
The kink in this offseason is the ongoing labor strife and a yet-unratified collective bargaining agreement. It seems unlikely that an accord will be reached before free agency begins, meaning several unrestricted free agents would become restricted (see chart). That could produce an uncapped year in 2010, which could spark lavish spending by major-market teams, of which the Chargers are not one. The complicated contingency plan, which inhibits elite teams from signing free agents at will, should impact the Chargers' plans heading toward an uncertain future with several fan favorites.
All that could induce some serious stress, especially after such a heartbreaking defeat, but the Chargers won't deviate from the offseason protocol.
"The thing I like best about what the front office as a whole does is that we don't rush to judgment right now," coach Norv Turner said. "We'll let a little time pass and then evaluate our football team. There will be areas in which we have to get better, and we'll address them."
Turner coaching in Pro Bowl
The Chargers will be well represented at the Pro Bowl. In addition to the five players named to the Pro Bowl roster, Turner and his staff will coach the AFC squad. Cowboys coach Wade Phillips will lead the NFC.
The coaches for the Pro Bowl are normally the staffs that lose the conference championship games. But with the Pro Bowl being played the week before the Super Bowl this year, the designation went to the coach with the best record who lost in the divisional round.

Is online learning sweeping America? Just compare: in 2000 there were roughly 45,000 students taking online courses; in 2009, more than 3 million K-12 students were doing so. But those courses are happening in a blended-learning environment where students learn online while supervised by adults part of that time. It's personalized, relevant, a mode kids love, and self-paced. By 2019, 50 percent of all high school courses may be delivered online. Read more in this insightful white paper by Michael B.

Alex Brandon, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The budget cuts in Washington have not hit home in America, at least not yet.
A plurality of U.S. residents think federal spending cuts will have no effect at all on them or their families, according to a new McClatchy-Marist Poll. At the same time, just as many think the cuts will have no effect or a positive effect on the overall economy as think the cuts will hurt the economy, the survey found.
The numbers indicate how the politics of the spending fight in Washington have yet to be settled in the country, and why the two major parties could continue to struggle to reach an agreement in budget debates.
President Barack Obama has not yet convinced the majority that the cuts will be bad for them and their country. He has hoped the country would rise up in anger at the spending cuts and force Republicans to agree to an alternative plan to curb the deficit that would include tax increases and fewer spending cuts.
And the impact of the spending cuts being implemented are unlikely to become any clearer before Obama and Congress move on to other budget debates in coming weeks. Unpaid days off for some federal workers, for example, will not start for several more weeks at least.
"In the early innings, people are not seeing the immediacy of this," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion at Marist College in New York, which conducted the poll.
Forty-nine of registered voters said the current cuts will have no impact at all on them or their families. Thirty-nine percent said the cuts would have a negative impact, and 10 percent said they would have a positive impact.
Independents and Republicans are more likely to see no effect..
Among independents, 52 percent expect no effect, 39 percent expect a negative effect, and 7 percent expect a positive effect.
Among Republicans, it's 52, 36, and 8 percent.
Democrats are evenly split at 41 percent each on whether the cuts will be negative or have no impact on their families. In a surprise, 14 percent of Democrats expect a positive impact for themselves, well more than independents or Republicans.

Bare Traps Women's Pennie Ankle Boot Reviews
Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 12reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MansMom Affordable, Comfortable Booties I usually have to spend a lot of money for premium, expensive brands of shoes--my feet are difficult to fit. I was really surprised to try these on in the store and find them to be comfortable and stylish. Would recommend trying them. They're not winter boots with not much of any lining and no lug sole or durability in wet weather, but they're super cute for the fall. May 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by pt141 Love these boots! These are my wear-to-work-everyday boots. And I'm on my feet all day long. Love these boots! May 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linedancing Amazing I was amazed first at how quickly my order arrived. Approximately 36 hours from the time I ordered them.The boot is very comfortable, and will work great for line dancing. May 5, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Taylorgraphics Def order a size up I was really excited to purchase these as I have several Baretraps boots/sandals and they are a great quality and comfortable shoe company. I ordered these online and they came pretty quickly however I will be returning as they are way too small. Perhaps even an entire size smaller. I normally always stick to my 8 1/2 size and hardly ever have issues ordering online. My feet are not wide and these were a bit narrow for me. The quality was ok for the sale price but paying full price I would have returned them. I have another pair of Baretraps like this style that's much better quality. I'll still purchase more Baretraps in the future though. March 14, 2016

Tagged: South Korea
The next generation of Koreans could take part in a national revival of South Korea and put the ghosts of the 20th century to rest.
Donald Trump and a majority of South Koreans believe that South Korea should have a nuclear weapon. Are they right?
South Korea severed its last important economic link with the North, as governments on both sides of the DMZ extinguish what little remained of the "sunshine era" of engagement.
East Asia is invisible to the average American — for better and worse.
South Korea should focus less on extracting apologies from North Korea and more on pursuing pragmatic projects with Pyongyang.
Uncle Sam is wrecking a great deal of South Korea's top tourist destination.
In the current crisis on the Korean peninsula, the Obama administration is virtually repeating the 2004 Bush playbook.
North Korea has announced that it's withdrawing its workforce 53,000 workers from the Kaesong Industrial Complex, jointly held with South Korean.
What if the North Koreans grew desperate enough to attempt to conquer only the portions of South Korea closest to them -- which are also the most valuable?
What the North Korean leadership is hoping to achieve by its belligerence is anyone's guess, but the aggressive U.S. response has only escalated tensions.

Author has written 7 stories for Harry Potter, Criminal Minds, and Avengers.
Name: you may call me Flamegirl or I answer to Lynn
Gender: Female
Updated May 19, 2012
Hey y'all! I am in the process of rewriting The Flight of the Phoenix. On Thursday May 24, 2012 I will delete the story and post my rewritten chapters. Until I am caught back up with Flight Finding Comfort is taking a backseat. I will not abandon any of my stories. I know it's been a long haul for both stories and I'm so thankful and grateful to those who have been following my stories. I hope you enjoy the rewrite as much as I'm enjoying the chance to rewrite it. A huge thank you to my betas breannatala and Moonyxforever who are both so patient and work so hard to help make my stories what they are. You gals are amazing!
Updated June 27, 2011
Hey y'all. My stories have been late for a number of reasons my health bein' the biggest. I just had surgery again so I haven't been postin'. I just put up a chapter for Flight that breannatala sent me right before my surgery 8 weeks ago now, but I didn't have a chance to post it before now. Sorry about that. I have another chapter for Flight almost done and hope to get that to breannatala soon. As for FC I have chapter 8 in the works and a layout for chapter 9 so I hope y'all will get those soon. I'm sorry it's been so long and I'll try not to make y'all wait as long after this. Thanks for stickin' it out with me and a huge thank ya goes to my betas breannatala and Moonyxforever, ya both are amazin'!
Updated June 27, 2010
Hey all! I know it's been a while again, and I'm sorry about that. My laptop cord is bad so I had to order another one. I'm waiting for that to come. As soon as it does I'll get chapters out to breannatala and Moonyxforever. Hopefully, mail permitting, I'll have new chapters up for you soon! I'm sorry for the wait again guys.
Hey everyone! I know I said I would update but I lost my first draft that I hand wrote and I had to write it again and I messed up my laptop again. I fell down the stairs and messed up my ankle again and was on pain meds again so my writing had to take a back seat because it made no sense. I am so sorry. I'm almost done with The Flight of the Phoenix chapter and will get that to breannatala asap. I'm working on Finding Comfort as well and I'll get that to Moonyxforever asap as well. Again, I'm so sorry for the wait and hopefully I'll get it up soon. And I apologize to breannatala and Moonyxforever as well. Thank you all for your patience, you guys are great!
Updated May 21, 2010
Hey everyone! First of all I'm so sorry for the long wait. I managed to mess up my laptop and it took a long time to fix. I have it back now and I'm trying to type up what I wrote when it was down. I will be sending new chapters for The Flight of the Phoenix and Finding Comfort to breannatala and Moonyxforever within a week or so. So, hopefully, in two weeks or so you will have new chapters. I thank you for you patience and I promise I have not gone anywhere. I'm still writing and you will get updates soon!
Updated March 19, 2010
Hello all! I'm almost done with Chapter 11 of The Flight of the Phoenix. I'm going to send it to breannatala, my beta reader for TFotP, tomorrow. Thank you breannatala for being my beta reader for The Flight of the Phoenix! When I'm done with TFotP I'll start working on Finding Comfort. Moonyxforever is my beta for that one. Thank you Moonyxforever! I'll have updates for you as soon as I can! Hopefully The Flight of the Phoenix will be updated within a week and Finding Comfort in 10 to 12 days. Life was kind of crazy for a bit and I got the flu again so I really couldn't write for a bit. I also had a lot of research to do for Chapter 11 of The Flight of the Phoenix.
Updated: March 1, 2010
Hey everyone. I've got chapter 10 of The Sixth Year completed. I am working on chapter 11 now. When I get 11 done I'll post 10. It should only be a few more days, I hope. I have the flu right now so I'll have to see how often I'm awake over the next several days. I'm sorry for the delay. As for Finding Comfort I am working on chapter 3. It's not flowing the way I want it to, so... I don't know how long it's going to take. I'm sorry that it is taking so long. Hopefully within the next several days I'll start feeling better. I'll post as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience.
Updated: Feb. 22, 2010
Well it's been a while since I've written anything. I just posted another chapter for Finding Comfort. I am working on the 10th chapter of The Sixth Year. I think it's the 10th anyway I should be posting a new chapter soon. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to writing. I had 3 operations in the last year and I was just not up to writing. But I am back now and will try to stick to regular updates. I am looking for a beta reader so if anyone is interested please let me know.
Likes: I enjoy reading, writing, music and watching snow fall. I love snow. I love reading fanfiction and I have written some but never posted any of it.
Updated April 14, 2007
I'm still here just suffering from massive writers block. I have several plot lines running through my head so I believe you will be seeing some of them soon. Maybe. I currently have a good deal of free time on my hands so I am working on my novel. How many people actually read these things? I do but then again, lot of time on my hands. Oh well. Peace and I'm out.

Stars: Alan Bagh, Whitney Moore | Written and Directed by James Nguyen
Birdemic, described by director James Nguyen as a romantic thriller, is a story about a young couple falling in love against the backdrop of a batshit insane tale of a town under siege by homicidal eagles! Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (in fact The Birds actress Tippi Hedren makes a cameo in the film in stock footage), the film also tackles topical issues such as global warming and world peace, all wrapped up in a film so inept that you'll leave the film with the hugest grin on your face. We've all heard the phrase "so bad it's good", well Birdemic is the epitomy of that phrase!
Where to begin reviewing a film like Birdemic? It's script? Garbage. It's actors? Terrible, however the blonde female lead (Whitney Moore) is nice to look »

The advertising tag — "You asked for it" — is the best thing about "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection." Its 2010 predecessor, "Birdemic: Shock and Terror," was one of those rare instances of filmic ineptitude so distinctive it could pass as inspired folk art, winning the biggest midnight-movie following since Tommy Wiseau's "The Room." Lacking the bizarro-world charisma of that film's auteur/star, however, James Nguyen's sequel is a much less transfixing whatsit that takes far too long getting to the slender amusement of its ludicrous "action" scenes. Nonetheless, fan curiosity should propel this self-distributed follow-up on a niche road that's already scored various midnight and one-off showings across the U.S. and Europe.
Nguyen instantly re-establishes his signature style with a long opening credits sequence in which simply capturing a protagonist walking down a street — in this case, Hollywood Boulevard — mightily challenges the acting and directorial skills on tap. »

We knew it wouldn't be long before somebody - pardon the pun - swooped in to start snatching up distribution rights to Birdemic 2: The Resurrection, and we have the early bird details for you right here along with the worm.
From the Press Release
Chill, the Web's premier video distribution platform for entertainment content distributed direct from filmmakers, artists, and comedians, today announced that it has acquired exclusive digital rights for James Nguyen's highly anticipated cult sequel Birdemic 2: The Resurrection. The film will be available exclusively on Chill for 90 days, before Chill rolls it out wide to other VOD platforms such as iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. Additionally, the film will be shown in theaters across the U.S. and internationally as part of a multi-city theater tour with stops in New York, San Francisco, New Orleans, Los Angeles, The Mall of America in Minnesota, London and Paris, »

Director James Nguyen's "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" is either the dumbest movie ever made or a calculated slice of comedy gold. I honestly can't figure it out. Regardless, the "visionary" filmmaker's follow-up appears to be "Birdemic" on steroids. Instead of one goofy couple, you get two. In addition to killer birds, you get zombies. And that's fine by me. The more the merrier. Now bring on the Blu-ray, already! I'm impatient! Check out this synopsis: A flock of eagles and vultures wreak havoc amidst blossoming romance in Hollywood, California, leaving bloodshed and destruction wherever they hover. The story features original 'Birdemic' survivors Rod and Nathalie, who are joined by new friends – struggling filmmaker Bill, aspiring actress Gloria and several other Angelenos they encounter as they battle angry birds and a host of new enemies. "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" stars Whitney Moore, Alan Bagh, Patsy van Ettinger, »

You have to respect an artist with a vision. Sometimes they make Dances With Wolves or The Passion of the Christ and are rewarded critically and commercially for their risky works of passion. Other times you get James Nguyen's notorious 2008 film Birdemic. The film is an homage to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Al Gore's Oscar winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Shot largely on weekends and funded completely by Nguyen's day job as a software salesman in Silicon Valley, the film is actually quite magical for bad movie fans due to the tonal shift midway through. It's kind of like two awesomely bad movies for the price of one!
The first half of the film focuses on the wooing of Victoria Secret model Nathalie (Whitney Moore) by leading man Rod (Alan Bagh »

A little bird dropped by our mailbox to let us know that the sequel to Birdemic: Shock and Terror (review here), entitled Birdemic II: The Resurrection, will begin hitting theatres in June with screenings being held everywhere from Los Angeles to Paris, France. Said bird then exploded, much to our delight.
We'll have all of the official details for you as soon as possible. Just wanted to give you guys enough of a heads-up so that you can prepare your hangers.
Visionary writer/director James Nguyen said his inspiration for the film was the La Brea Tar Pits. "I went to the museum at the Tar Pits, which had an exhibit of ancient eagles and vultures," he recalled, "and as I walked through it, I said, 'This is Birdemic 2.'" He added, "The Tar Pits are a major hint why the birds attack La."

Galaxis Atlus Mid Tower Chassis Review
Accessories and Documentation
Inside the lower five drive bays you will see one of these adapters. Simply screw in your 3.5" device into the tray with screws from the hardware kit. Then take the 5.25" tray and slide it back into the bays from the inside, and either use just the tool-less clips, or replace the four screws sitting in this image that the trays are all shipped with.
In the little white box I found in the Styrofoam, I found this selection of hardware. Galaxis sends five wire management ties, a motherboard speaker, four extra risers, a selection of screws for the expansion slots and power supply, and another assortment of screws for mounting drives and the motherboard.
The instruction sheet is a single page, printed on both sides. This side gives you a wiring pin-out, an included parts checklist, and an expanded drawing of the Atlus chassis. The opposing side gets into more detail of how to use the drive trays and installing devices. Even though the instructions are short and sweet, they do the job, and will get you past any issue you run across in the build.
