Resolutions, fitness tips and posh frocks
Hello and welcome to 2014 peeps! Hope you entered this year in style? I personally stumbled and rolled into 2014 channelling a living disco bowl at the Ace Hotel in London. Yes my dress was very sparkly and this beauty by Virgos Lounge had been tucked away at the back of my wardrobe for months. Talk about hidden gems.
I was really surprised it still fit me actually after all the overindulging I'd been doing over Christmas but then again, I'm sort of back on track with regards to my healthy(ish) lifestyle. Here are seven New Year fit tips to get you back on track too
Invite all your friends round to eat the mountain of mince pies, cheese, chocolate and sweet treats you collected over Christmas. Share the love and share the calories
Replace that new, empty space in the cupboard with mixed raw nuts, olives and fruit to snack on. It's not boring, it's tasty.
It'Äôs not always easy to cut something out entirely so if you can't deprive yourself of that vino, maybe just stick to no more than 2 small glasses during the week and 2 at the weekend. Remember in the end, less will give you more.
It'Äôs a natural process so don'Äôt be afraid of peeing more, and drinking at least TWO litres of water a day. If you don'Äôt like water then there'Äôs something wrong with you! ¬ÝI mean, add a lemon to it or a dash of fruit cordial or go on, shove a tea bag in it. You can'Äôt beat a good cuppa…just steady on the caffeine.
Plan and schedule your workouts in your diary at the beginning of the week and tick them off as you complete them.
Looking a little ridiculous whilst working out makes it more fun and will distract you from the pain (or at least that's what I tell myself). Check out this discrete little Nike number.
(Keep your eyes on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/ajodudu and Instagram http://instagram.com/aj_odudu for more lovely lycra).
Start today because trust me, tomorrow will never come.
And there you have it. You'll be fit by Feb and all that without making a single resolution.
Speaking of which, I've not made one yet. I usually make the same resolution each year which is to stop biting my nails but I fail every time *sigh*. So this year I'm going to aim to pursue all of the things that I thoroughly enjoy doing anyway. Blogging and writing more about fitness, fashion, music and my life as a Lancashire Love Lump living in London. I'm going to get involved in radio so that more people can hear my dulcet tones without having to see me at the same time. Of course I'm going to continue to present on television but I also want you to delve deeper into my life via my YouTube channel. I'm going to go shopping more (guilt free) and post pictures of me showing off all my new clobber. I want to visit the hairdressers more because I'm lazy and prefer someone else doing my hair. I'm going to treat myself to an expensive handbag because I bloody deserve it and most importantly, I'm going to continue biting my nails. Why break the habit of a lifetime if you truly enjoy doing it? I guess what I'm trying to say is that my only resolution this year is to do more of what makes me happy.
So here's to a year full of giggles.
Wishing you the best 2014.
AJ Odudu
Welcome to my blog!
Hello my lovely readers!
I'm super excited to be launching my HELLO! Online blog and I hope you will enjoy reading about my fun and busy life…
The launch of CBB is a thing of the past and I am loving the cast. Les and Janice Battersby from my favourite soap Coronation Street are in, along with a guy I secretly had a crush on when I was younger, Dustin Diamond AKA Screech from Saved by the Bell. I think it was his curly hair that did it. Curls gets the girls! (Unfortunately Dustin now has a shaved head but I still can't wait to see him in the house).
I like to call myself a fitness fanatic as I enjoy going to gym classes and leading an active lifestyle but with the launch of Celebrity Big Brother this week I'Äôve been rushed off my feet. As a result I'Äôve skipped the gym and done what I call, 'The 100 Workout' each morning. It consists of 40 jumping jacks followed by 30 crunches, 20 squats and then 10 push ups. That'Äôs literally it. It takes less than 10 minutes and I read on @justenejaros Instagram that it burns 100 calories. Happy days!
My diet is also really important to me, but when I'Äôm on the go all the time trying to eat healthy can be hard. My energy levels have to be high so I'Äôve been trying this lovely little detox called Nosh. It sounds funny but it's great. They tailor make a diet plan for you and deliver it straight to your door each day ready to eat. And it'Äôs delicious. Their fresh fruit smoothies are the best but their website shows the full range – noshdetox.com.
Here's a quick cold pasta salad I love when I'm not on a detox: olives, tortellini, Parma ham, rocket and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice. Bung it all together and voila! You've got the perfect, healthy, quick dish. Anything for an easy life, eh?!
When I'm travelling around for events I always like to keep myself busy with either a good book or my favourite tunes on my iPod.
I'm currently reading Birdsong by Sebastian Folks. My boyfriend bought it me it yonks ago but I've only just got into it and so far so good. As he's a primary school teacher, I'm hoping he gives me a gold star when I've completed it.
Hope you have all enjoyed a great bank holiday weekend – here's to a great 4 day week and see you next week

When you switch to a new e-mail program you need to move your older e-mails to the new program. If you are switching from Outlook Express, Eudora or QuickMail Pro to Outlook 2007, there is a software bug that makes Outlook unable to import the file type of these programs' e-mail messages, a file type called .eml. There is a "hotfix" for Outlook 2007 that fixes the bug and allows you to import .eml files. Before downloading the hotfix, check to see if your version of Outlook already has the update and will import the files using its Import Wizard.

Description by Tom
For any purchases made between 01st November and 31st December, Returns will be accepted until 31st January 2016.
So, if you bought a gift and effed up the sizing or seriously misjudged your S.O's taste ... don't panic, we've got you covered.
That equates to more time eating turkey and swilling booze, too. For the win!
With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery Dates provided on product pages.
Thanks for choosing his item ...

No thanks, I'll check out now

A college roommate agreement is a great idea. Here's why.
During your college years you'll likely be living in some kind of a group situation; either it's dorm life or sharing a house or apartment. Either way, college students have to find a way to get along with roommates. If you're lucky, you get an easy roommate but living in close quarters and dealing with stress can cause conflict among the best of friends.
What if you get someone who drives you crazy? That's when a college roommate agreement can come in handy. Read more →

Metrolink Toy Express delivers holiday fun to San Juan
Metrolink's Holiday Toy Express rode into the San Juan Capistrano train depot Saturday evening, bringing more than 50,000 colorful lights, singing reindeer and a musical show in which Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, Frosty and the elves helped Santa find his lost Christmas list.
The specially decorated train annually visits dozens of cities along Metrolink's routes.
Orange County firefighters were on hand to collect donations for the annual "Spark of Love" toy drive.

Vogue relaunched its website yesterday. And while this is the biggest effort to date by Vogue to translate its lush print experience to the fast-moving pace of the Web, it still has a long way to go in catching up to fashion upstarts that were way ahead in amassing online audiences.
For years, fashion magazines pretty much ignored the Web. After all, they could afford to; they continued to have a strong business in print while their newsweekly and service brethren were displaced by the Web.
Here, then, are five charts that tell the state of women's fashion magazines online:
Vogue was late to introduce an eponymous Web site, and the first version of the site, launched in 2010, did little more than replicate the print magazine online. As a result, Vogue.com's audience is far smaller than its brand would suggest, ranking 30 in comScore's beauty/fashion/style category behind ad networks, native digital sites and even other print brands.
Ad pages of fashion magazines have held up better than the magazine industry overall because their bread-and-butter advertisers continue to spend heavily in print. Still, five of the top fashion monthlies haven't recovered to their pre-recessionary 2007-08 peaks.
Meanwhile, few fashion magazines have been able to drum up much interest for their digital editions. Only two, Cosmo and GQ, have cracked the top 25 magazines by digital circulation, according to the Alliance for Audited Media.
Pure online sales are only about 4 percent of luxury-goods sales as a whole, but they're growing faster than the overall luxury market, according to a McKinsey & Co. study of the U.S. and five other major luxury markets. But as consumers increasingly live their lives on their mobile devices, almost 45 percent of luxury sales are impacted by their online activities. While luxury advertisers have reluctantly moved ad dollars to the Web, that is sure to change.
Its late start notwithstanding, Vogue has quickly amassed an impressive Instagram following that dwarfs its closest print competitors. That said, because Instagram doesn't let users click through posts on the platform, its value to publications is still unproven.

... was underwhelming. They didn't even have a Judas Cradle, but the rack was cool to see. The king's cod piece was also very impressive as well :P .
We continued on to the Tower Bridge (which from pictures I thought was the London Bridge), to head towards the Tate Modern museum. After a long walk, and passing by the rather unfortunate London Bridge, we ended up at the Tate Modern Art Museum. We learned surrealist modern art is not really Jillian's thing, ...

The Tigers won the game as -210 favorites, while the 12 runs made it OVER the posted over/under (9.5) set by sportsbooks.
Phil Coke improved to 5-0 with the win in relief for the Tigers, and Jose Valverde closed out the ninth for his 15th save.
Chad Qualls allowed two runs in relief and suffered the loss for the Diamondbacks.

was wondering about AB also. hope everything is ok. but im sure she is out enjoying this weather. i haven't had much computer time either.... cause its just been so nice! wonder if she is going to any of the derby hoopla?<quoted text>
And what about Abliever? She has been missing for a while too. Yes, chickens can be quite entertaining. Mine free range only in the afternoons after collecting my eggs. The get layer pellets in the mornings and scratch grains at dusk to tell them it is time to quit free ranging and come home to roost. The Big rooster walks along in front of me, looking back to tell me I am walking too slow. LOL. The little rooster brings up the rear and making sure that no straggling hens get left behind.
It is funny to see how they choose the same roosting spot every night, with some hens making sure they get to sit next to the roosters. One likes to suspend and rock back and forth all night long on one of those orange electric cords strung across the top of the main building. I have baby chicks in the tool shed closest to the house, and an incubator going in my laundry room where I hope to have at least a 25% hatch rate with more babies in mid-May. Besides the entertainment, chickens are my part time job and gives me something to do. I sell enough eggs to town folk to cover the cost of feed and give away the rest in exchange for a slice of pies and cakes and such.

nah..... it just always get quiet when there's no bickering going on. i think we still get a good number of viewers, its just most have nothing to say ... and some nothing nice to say.lol
beans have finally decided its safe to grow again after the frost last week. i had lost a few and the ones that made it looked fine but, they just had not done anything new after growing three inches and doubling leaves the previous week. today the big one in the middle decided to pop out another three or four beginnings of leaves, so i figure the rest will follow suit. peppers are doing great but take a lot of water. i always thought that they would grow closer to a cactus type plant and freak out every time i water them like my aloes tend to do but... nope! i have finally found a crop that will let me hover and over water till my hearts content and not die! i have read and been told that if you with hold the watering a little and let them thirst that you will get a hotter pepper but oh well.... save me from taking a few zantacs.
have decided cabbages are freaks of nature.... the sun comes out....nothing..... it gets bitter cold and rains all night, get another set of leaves....
still no sign of melons..... shouldn't i be seeing vines at least?
threw them out march 27th down hill from the compost pit and covered loosely with some left over mulch and clippings from the first mow. nothing at all yet.
#88940 May 1, 2013
dog-tree time.@Betty.. I set out cabbage plants and was trying to keep the chickens out of them and forgot all about the rabbits. They got every one over night. Oh well, I like looking at the fat rabbits more than I like making kraut. LOL
Your melons are going to need several days of consistently warmer and dryer weather. The yo-yo April is over and you may start seeing some growth by mid-May. I have been trying for two weeks to get the corn field dry enough to plant corn and every time it gets close, here comes more rains. I suppose we could all use just a bit more patience.

someone posted this to my face book wall..... had to share.
CINDY WILLIAMS was appointed by Obama as an Assistant Director for NATIONAL SECURITY in the Congressional Budget Office.....
Cindy William wrote a piece for the Washington Times denouncing the pay raise(s) coming service members' way this year citing that she stated a 13% wage increase was more than they deserve.
A young airman from HillAFB responds to her article below. He ought to get a bonus for this.
"Ms Williams:
I just had the pleasure of reading your column, "Our GI's earn enough" and I am a bit confused. Frankly, I'm wondering where this vaunted overpayment is going, because as far as I can tell, it disappears every month between DFAS (The Defense Finance and Accounting Service) and my bank account. Checking my latest earnings statement I see that I make $1,117.80 before taxes per month. After taxes, I take home $874.20. When I run that through the calculator, I come up with an annual salary of $13,413.60 before taxes, and $10,490.40 after.
I work in the Air Force Network Control Center where I am part of the team responsible for a 5,000 host computer network. I am involved with infrastructure segments, specifically with Cisco Systems equipment. A quick check under jobs for "Network Technicians" in the Washington , D.C. area reveals a position in my career field, requiring three years experience in my job. Amazingly, this job does NOT pay $13,413.60 a year. No, this job is being offered at $70,000 to $80,000 per annum.......... I'm sure you can draw the obvious conclusions.
Given the tenor of your column, I would assume that you NEVER had the pleasure of serving your country in her armed forces.
Before you take it upon yourself to once more castigate congressional and DOD leadership for attempting to get the families in the military's lowest pay brackets off of WIC and food stamps, I suggest that you join a group of deploying soldiers headed for AFGHANISTAN ; I leave the choice of service branch up to you. Whatever choice you make though, opt for the SIX month rotation: it will guarantee you the longest possible time away from your family and friends, thus giving you full "deployment experience."
As your group prepares to board the plane, make sure to note the spouses and children who are saying good-bye to their loved ones. Also take care to note that several families are still unsure of how they'll be able to make ends meet while the primary breadwinner is gone. Obviously they've been squandering the "vast" piles of cash the government has been giving them.
Try to deploy over a major holiday; Christmas and Thanksgiving are perennial favorites.. And when you're actually over there, sitting in a foxhole, shivering against the cold desert night, and the flight sergeant tells you that there aren't enough people on shift to relieve you for chow, remember this: trade whatever MRE's (meal-ready-to-eat) you manage to get for the tuna noodle casserole or cheese tortellini, and add Tabasco to everything. This gives some flavor.
Talk to your loved ones as often as you are permitted; it won't be nearly long enough or often enough, but take what you can get and be thankful for it. You may have picked up on the fact that I disagree with most of the points you present in your open piece.
But, tomorrow from KABUL , I will defend to the death your right to say it.
You see, I am an American fighting man, a guarantor of your First Amendment right and every other right you cherish...On a daily basis, my brother and sister soldiers worldwide ensure that you and people like you can thumb your collective noses at us, all on a salary that is nothing short of pitiful and under conditions that would make most people cringe. We hemorrhage our best and brightest into the private sector because we can't offer the stability and pay of civilian companies.
And you, Ms.. Williams, have the gall to say that we make more than we deserve?

#88952 May 1, 2013
yup i think if a few of us, myself included, could refrain from personal attacks. we could have an intelligent debate about things on this thread. its been tried in the past but failed miserably for the most part because peoples wanting to be right all the time overshadowed the points they were trying to make, and then someones feelings got hurt, which normally led to the caps lock being turned on, and then all reason was replaced by pure drama queen-isms and rantings.
mmm hmmm.... we are one big dysfunctional family on this thread but we have learned over the past two years, for the better, and in the spirit of co existence, to just talk about flowers and sun tans.lol denial is not just a river in Egypt you know.....:0

No denial
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

The main part of the area where the fossils can be found has been badly damaged very recently by storms and rough seas. It has been closed to visitors, although there is a small display showing some fossil samples.

Besides having to pay Baht 200 for entrance fee as a foreigner there is nothing much to do after viewing the the 75 million old shell fossils. The visit can be covered in less than half an hour.A word of caution.....when walking around viewing the shell fossils be careful of the slippery surfaces.Would recommend you give this place a miss...

Thais are known for dual pricing (tourists usually pay alot more for everything, "raka farang") but to get into this park the cost is 50 baht for Thai adults and 20 baht for Thai children - any foreigner wishng to enter will have to pay 200 baht no matter what age group. Sorry but this is unacceptable and reason enough...
The Fossil Shell Park is essentially the grave yard of millions of gastropods and bivalves (small single shelled snails) that died due to mud covering them and which have now fossilized. Over time the fossil beds have risen to the surface due to changes in the underlying strata. There is a charge to enter the fossil beds as it is...

How wrong we were. After rounding the last bend, the concrete and metal entrance gate to Qilisi Spring came into view, looking out of place by the side of a brook, nestling in a valley between mist-topped craggy hills. On one side was a terrace of Spartan one-room dwellings. And huddled around wood-burning stoves in each room, or perched on the kang heated brick beds, were families and groups of Tibetans, mostly in traditional dress or maroon monks' habits. No one was doing very much, other than recover from the morning's over-consumption. For here were a group of visitors who approach their drinking very seriously indeed.
Taking the waters Tibetan style is no idle business. That day there were about 60 "patients" in residence at this rural spa. We were guided through the gate, past more dilapidated buildings, and up a path where smoke from damp burning leaves wafted up through prayer flags. Through a wooden archway was a pit in the ground, within which three metal pipes gushed water. Gathered around, plastic water bottles in hand, were some of that day's residents. Damzun, 40, was typical: this was his 21st day at Qilisi, and every day during his stay he had drunk from the spring - and drunk and drunk. Around 45 pints of water a day, in fact.
Damzun was from neighbouring Gansu province, and had come to Qilisi because stomach problems were stopping him eating. He would go home the next day, a cured man, he said. One 23-year-old Tibetan man from southern Qinghai, knocking back another couple of pints, said he had heard about the spring last year when in hospital for his stomach. The water is said to contain more than 40 chemical elements, and emerges from the ground a pale yellow colour and tasting rather like flat soda-water. Drinking large quantities from the spring, it is believed by Tibetans and other Qinghai residents, can help cure stomach disorders, loss of appetite, restore the sense of taste, and ease digestion of wine and meat. Shacks near by provide rudimentary restaurants - whose optimistic owners presumably believe in the curative powers of the waters.
Legend has it that the Qilisi spring was discovered more than 1,000 years ago by a sturdy black cow, and a Tibetan Buddhist temple was built here after the 17th century, dedicated to the God of Medicine. A short pamphlet introducing Qilisi suggests a stay of between 21 and 36 days, and many people seem to. Most visitors that day were ethnic Tibetans, including several monks, and several people had travelled up to hundreds of miles from the Tibetan regions of Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan provinces. Everyone cited stomach problems as the reason for their journey. Indeed, behind the spring pipes was a small prayer alter to Sanjimala, described by one of the Tibetans as the "God of the Stomach". The pamphlet promised: "When patients first come, they are all very thin and pallid, and supported by their worried relatives. But when they go home, they look much ruddier in complexion, and very happy."
Water is free, and the rooms in which groups of visitors usually sleep cost 5 yuan (40p) a night. As health spas around the world go, this one is excellent value, although with an average intake of 45 pints per day per person, I can't vouch for the latrines. But Minhe County government, within whose jurisdiction the spring lies, harbours rather more ambitious plans for this quiet backwater. According to the pamphlet, published in 1989, a proposed medical clinic and bathhouse will be just the beginning. The spring water will be used to produce "champagne and fruit juice", temples will be renovated, gardens landscaped, pavilions constructed, and modern recreation facilities offered, including an electronic games hall and dodgem cars. "Under the leadership of the Communist Party and with the deepening of opening up and reform, we believe this place will be a comparatively ideal tourist resort," it said. Somewhere along the line, this proposal fortunately seems to have been lost in someone's in- tray.Reuse content

The induced aggregation of achiral building blocks by a chiral species to form chiral aggregates with memorized chirality has been observed for a number of systems. However, chiral memory in isolated aggregates of achiral building blocks remains rare. One possible reason for this discrepancy could be that not much is understood in terms of designing these chiral aggregates. Herein, we report a strategy for creating such isolable chiral aggregates from achiral building blocks that retain chiral memory after the facile physical removal of the chiral templates. This strategy was used for the isolation of chiral homoaggregates of neutral achiral π-conjugated carboxylic acids in pure aqueous solution. Under what we have termed an "interaction-substitution" mechanism, we generated chiral homoaggregates of a variety of π-conjugated carboxylic acids by using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a mediator in acidic aqueous solutions. These aggregates were subsequently isolated from the CMC templates whilst retaining their memorized supramolecular chirality. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the aggregates formed in the acidic CMC solution exhibited bisignated exciton-coupled signals of various signs and intensities that were maintained in the isolated pure homoaggregates of the achiral π-conjugated carboxylic acids. The memory of the supramolecular chirality in the isolated aggregates was ascribed to the substitution of COOH/COOH hydrogen-bonding interaction between the carboxylic acid groups within the aggregates for the hydrogen-bonding interactions between the COOH groups of the building blocks and the chiral templates. We expect that this "interaction-substitution" procedure will open up a new route to isolable pure chiral aggregates from achiral species.

Carboxylic Acids
Organic compounds containing the carboxy group (-COOH). This group of compounds includes amino acids and fatty acids. Carboxylic acids can be saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic.
Carboxylic Ester Hydrolases
Enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters with the formation of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid anion.
Compounds consisting of chains of AMINO ACIDS alternating with CARBOXYLIC ACIDS via ester and amide linkages. They are commonly cyclized.
Bile Acids And Salts
Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones.
Acids, Acyclic
Carboxylic acids that have open-chain molecular structures as opposed to ring-shaped structures.

By the time the guy shows up, you're braced for something dreadful. The film certainly delivers on this: he's played by Robert Downey Jr. Once Blake has recovered from the shock of seeing his duplicity exploded, he spends the next hour trying to weasel his way out of trouble. The women don't hold back. As Lou tells him: "You are a lying, mugging, misogynistic, unemployable, short, loft inheriting, piece-of-shit fraud." Blake: "I'm short now, too, huh?"
While Toback tosses out the occasionally smart line, the film as a whole feels underwritten and meandering: there's plenty of rage here, but it's boxed into something resembling an actors' workshop. Downey has been let off the leash for this one, and practically tears himself in half as the egregious two-timer. His best efforts, however, can't rescue a scenario starved of oxygen and, come to think of it, plausibility.
Stepmom is Chris Columbus's latest homily, following Mrs Doubtfire and Nine Months, on the travails of parenting. This one's a three-way tussle between Jackie, a divorcee mom (Susan Sarandon), her ex-husband (Ed Harris), and his new girlfriend, Isabel (Julia Roberts), who's been having trouble bonding with Jackie and her two kids. You have to feel for Jackie, who must endure the galling realisation that her ex's squeeze is kind and beautiful and good-humoured; she also happens to be an absurdly glamorous photographer - the sort who breezes late into a shoot, calls out "That's a wrap" after 10 minutes and stands back to receive the plaudits - which gives you some idea about this film's grip on credibility.
Easy to understand why Roberts has a producer credit here, but Sarandon too? She's playing a tiresome whinger who's turned her children into spoilt brats. Then the penny drops: Jackie has cancer, and spends the second half of the movie bravely stifling tears, growing spectre-thin and handing out bite-size slices of Cracker Barrel wisdom. That it's mostly set in the fabulous opulence of Jackie's enormous clapboard mansion is par for the course. As Meet Joe Black recently demonstrated, Hollywood prefers the dying to maintain impeccable taste in home furnishings. Chris Columbus directs as if he's handling a moral diagram: Stepmom is so full of understanding it made me want to throw up.
Peter Berg, a first-time director, opens a thick vein of black humour in Very Bad Things, the story of a bachelor party that gets grotesquely out of hand. A bridegroom, Kyle (Jon Favreau), and four middle-class jock friends check into a Las Vegas hotel, and proceed to whoop it up on booze and cocaine (Christian Slater, as one of the party, must be thanking his stars - he now gets paid for doing all the stuff he's been convicted for). The mood of piggish debauchery suddenly goes very sober when their romp ends with a call-girl dead on the bathroom floor; a security guard who discovers the body is then beaten to death. Having dismembered the corpses and buried them in the desert, the five friends head back home for Kyle's wedding.
The film then sits tight and waits for the first one to crack, though by this point you may find it difficult to care. Aiming for the giddy gruesomeness of Shallow Grave, Berg piles one sadistic thrill on top of another without noticing how flat and charmless the whole enterprise feels. His basic ploy is to show five men yelling hysterically into each other's face, and hope that we'll find it funny. The cast do themselves no favours - Daniel Stern, required to do most of the freaking out, has fallen a long way since his wonderful turn in Diner. Cameron Diaz, a natural with light comedy, is stuck with an appalling role as the whiny, wedding- obsessed fiancee. Hard to know what on earth persuaded her: it surely wasn't the puerile, mirthless script.
Claude Lelouch's A Man and A Woman looks diminished since its release in 1966. Irony has kicked out innocence, and modern audiences will probably snigger at what now seem the corny staples of romantic French movies: a wide beach, a dashing fellow in a sports car, a train station swathed in mist. Advertising, if not cinema, colonised these images long ago. Yet how to resist a pairing as photogenic as Anouk Aimee and Jean-Louis Trintignant? She plays the widow, haunted and gravely beautiful; he is the racing driver smitten by her. (His ratty handsomeness recalls something of Bogart). As I sighed at this flimsy confection, I couldn't take my eyes off either of them.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) – A celebration of German tradition. A countdown to Christmas. Advent calendars. Almost fifty are on display at Davenport's German American Heritage Center.
Hedy Hustedde has several from her collection included in the exhibit. Her dad made a wooden Christmas tree calendar. She gave that Advent calendar to her daughter.
She made an Advent calendar for her son. It is a train. The Bettendorf librarian also designed a calendar from cross stitch.
Advent calendars originated in nineteenth century Germany. The calendars count down the days to the birth of the Savior.
The display features pop up calendars. Bright and beautiful reminders of Advent.
The exhibit also includes a model of a twin hausbarn. That is a German home with living quarters on one side and livestock on the other. It is hand made.
Dolls dressed in costumes represent cultures from around the world.
The exhibit remains at the German American Heritage Center in Davenport through January 3rd. That day there will be an open house from noon to 4pm.
Admission is free. A celebration of Christmas!

Indian minister has $16m birthday bash
The chief minister of the impoverished Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati Kumari, celebrated her 47th birthday in style - with the help of 25,000 citizens and more than $16 million from the public purse.
On the lawns of Lucknow's La Martiniere public school, in a temporary venue erected by the public works department complete with mirror-studded temporary ceiling and chandeliers, Ms Kumari, accompanied by ministers and the entire top bureaucracy of the state government she heads, cut a 100kg cake.
Guests were served a multi-course meal and handed packets of ladoos - traditional Indian sweets. Those who brought presents received gifts in return from the chief minister's helpers.
It is not uncommon for public figures in India to throw lavish parties to mark their son's or daughter's wedding but it is the first time that a chief minister's birthday has been celebrated on such a grand scale.
Opposition leader Mulayam Singh Yadav branded the celebrations obscene in a state where 400 poor people have frozen to death this month in a cold snap. 'Today is a black day . . . the Samajwadi Party will sue the chief minister for misusing her office,' he said.
Ms Kumari came to power last year in India's most populous state promising to deliver social justice to the poor and the downtrodden. She belongs to the Bahujan Samaj Party which claims to represent low-caste Dalits, India's most downtrodden.

By now, alert students of President Donald Trump are aware that his handshake style is aggressive, awkward, and jerky, much like his conversational and love-making skills.
Here he is with his SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch.
And here he is performing an excruciating 18-second Sumo handshake with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Today, Trump met with Canadian dreamboat PM Justin Trudeau, who'd obviously prepped for the encounter. Watch as he grabs Trump's shoulder to steady himself, then leans in, closing the gap between the two men and rendering Trump's signature move —the "jerk your arm out of its socket" power ploy — impossible.
Well played, Hoser. Well played, indeed.
And now, we breathlessly await the Putin/Trump matchup.
In the wake of yet another brutal massacre by an assailant using an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, many people (and a precious few legislators) are calling for a renewal of the Assault Weapons Ban that was allowed to lapse in 2005.
One of the primary arguments against this that is being used by gun lovers and the NRA is that the AR-15 semi-automatic is not an assault weapon, since the shooter has to pull the trigger for each shot. The implication being that it's similar to your typical deer hunting rifle.
Here's a video of an AR-15 semi-automatic being fired, just so all you tree-hugging, anti-American libtards can see the error of your ways. The weapon is obviously quite useful in case of an attack by a herd of deer or, barring that, the zombie apocalypse.
Check out these shots from last Saturday posted by the Overton Park Conservancy. I think they put to rest the myth that the battle for the park is somehow an elitist struggle being conducted by "well-to-do Midtowners with too much time on their hands."
Oh, this is going to be interesting. The National Enquirer, which has a good track record for breaking sex scandal stories (John Edwards, Tiger Woods, Jesse Jackson), has dropped a bomb on GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz.
The Enquirer claims Cruz had affairs with five women, and included their pixilated pictures in the story. Though the Enquirer has not yet named names, the Internet has been doing that work for them. There are now published claims that one of the women is current Donald Trump spokesperson, Katrina Pierson, and another is a former Carly Fiorina staffer.
Twitter and other media outlets are jumping on the story. Conclusions are no doubt being jumped to, but this is a lot of smoke for there to be no fire. And the political ramifications are potentially huge. If this story is true, Cruz will have to drop out of the race and go home to "spend time with his family," leaving a nice bundle of delegates without a candidate. Does this bring Marco Rubio back into the race? Or the Mittster? Or does Kasich now become the great establishment Republican hope?
The Twitterverse has had a field day, retweeting Barnes' picture along with lots of snarky captions.
Barnes posted the picture an hour after the news of Fisher's firing broke Monday morning. You may remember that Barnes and Fisher, who were teammates and friends while members of the Lakers, got into an altercation in October over Barnes' estranged wife, Gloria Govan. Fisher had begun dating Govan, and Barnes wasn't pleased about it.
Barnes was later fined $35,000 for comments he made before a Grizzlies/Knicks: "Violence is never the answer," Barnes said, "but sometimes it is."
Barnes was also cited for writing on Instagram on New Year's Day: "being stuck in the 'triangle offense' w my ex & snitch, I mean former teammate & friend. Who went behind my back, messed w my ex, got caught, got dealt w for being a snake, then ran & told the Police & NBA.. Instead of taken that ass whoopin like a man & kept it moving….!
Cold. But Barnes seems a little more at peace today, to say the least.
The library's radio station, WYPL, has a full slate of public service shows, covering the arts, books, Congressional activities, health, music, and more. For a full listing of the station's programs, go here.
WYPL also has lots of volunteer readers who narrate best-sellers and biographies, and other books of note. They also read local publications, including the Flyer. That schedule is here.
The Flyer gets read on Fridays at 1:00 p.m. Things usually are pretty straightforward, but once in a while, as in the case of my column last week, about taking over the restroom facilities at Big Hill Pond State Park, the readers get a little flummoxed at having to read "colorful" language on the air.
That said, I think you'll enjoy the efforts of this volunteer, and her skill at leaving out certain words, while still attempting to capture the spirit of the column.

Below is the full text of Holt's letter, complete with a lovely molon labe hashtag.
Holt has since deleted the tweet, but not before it started a firestorm of angry responses. Holt's Twitter feed is full of his repartee with "liberals" and others who don't understand the Constitution as well as he does.
Holt's subsequent tweets compare the armed occupation in Oregon to protests of police shootings in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri. Then, bizarrely, he insulted a gay Chattanooga city councilman named Chris Anderson, who tweeted criticism of Holt. Holt called him, "girlfriend," then even more bizarrely, invited him to lunch.
Holt has garnered a reputation as an outspoken Tea Party-type Republican, and is notably the sponsor of Tennessee's "Ag-Gag" bill, which would prohibit whistle-blowers from reporting on livestock abuse. Holt is also, notably, a hog farmer.
But, Grammarly exists ... and, get this, Grammarly says Memphis Grizzlies fans are the most grammatically correct in America. Number one out of 42 sports cities. Fewer typos, better punctuation! We're Number One!
And to make it all the sweeter, guess who's dead frickin' last. Yep, Nashville. Those Titans fans are some uneducated hicks, I tell you. Read it all here.
UPDATE: Here's a note I received from Karen Hertzberg of Grammarly, explaining more about what the organization is all about. My apologies for the snark. bv
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for covering Grammarly's 2015 sports study in the Memphis Flyer. We were happy that you mentioned us!
The article includes some misleading information, so I wonder if you'd make a correction. You wrote:
USA Today has a website — or something — called Grammarly, which rates the online comments of the nation's professional sports franchises. Why this exists, I cannot tell you. How someone gets paid for doing this stuff, is an even bigger mystery.
Grammarly is not affiliated with USA Today. (They're among the many press outlets that regularly cover our studies.) We're the company behind the popular writing app of the same name. We exist to help people write better! Our studies are something we do to call attention to the importance of good grammar, spelling, and punctuation in a fun and entertaining way. Here's the press brief we distributed with the study results. It contains all the relevant data, plus some information on Grammarly.
Would you please update your article so your readers have accurate information? I'd also be grateful if you'd add a link to https://www.grammarly.com/grammar-check so they can learn more about who we are and what we do.
All the best,
Chris Davis reported today on the state of Tennessee's expensive new logo, which looks like it fell off a TennDot truck.
Here it is, in case you forgot what it looks like, which is entirely understandable.
Yes, it's stupidly simple and pointless. It says nothing, means nothing, except maybe, "Hey, thanks for the $46,000. We spent $20,000 on each letter and $6000 for cocaine and beer. Like, 'Mad Men, y'all.'" Which may or may not be a direct quote from the head of the Nashville ad agency that "created" this absurdity.
Of course, it's possible we're just dense over here in River City. We don't get the zen of this logo. After all, there plenty of examples of similar creative efforts. Like these:
And finally, after much research, we think we've discovered the true inspiration for Tennessee's new logo:
Suffice to say, Griz fans loved it. It was the most Tony Allen thing ever. (Warriors fans, on the other hand, hated it and booed Allen's every move thereafter.) In fact, Griz fans loved it so much that they created a hashtag on Twitter — #TonyAllenWalkingThroughThings — and let their creativity run wild. Here are a few of their better efforts:image-6]

After marijuana, amphetamines are the most widely used illicit drug class worldwide. A recent report estimates that methamphetamine causes about 895 deaths per year in the U.S. and is responsible for an annual economic burden of $23.5 billion. Negative reinforcement occurs when (a) an action is selected to avoid an aversive outcome or (b) an individual in an aversive state acts to end such a state and has been considered an important mechanism underlying compulsive drug-taking behavior. The aversive state or outcome is processed by the interoceptive system, which includes the insular cortex and signals "how we feel". Risk- taking decision-making is among the key dysfunctional behaviors in drug addicted individuals. Yet, there have been no studies to examine the causal influence of altering interoception on risk-taking decision-making, i.e. "how feeling bad affects the choices one makes". In response to the RFA, we bring together two experimental approaches to examine to how anticipating or experiencing an aversive state alters risk-taking behavior decision-making in methamphetamine dependent (MD) individuals. These approaches include (1) using aversive direct interoceptive stimulation and negatively valenced faces as non-interoceptive stimuli to modulate the state of the individual and (2) measuring the frequency of risky responses during a risk-taking task and the adjustment to errors during a two-choice prediction task. These approaches are combined with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine how negative reinforcement mechanisms are implemented in the brain and to lay the groundwork for neural substrate specific treatment interventions.
Specific Aim 1 : To determine the behavioral effects of anticipating and experiencing an aversive and pleasant interoceptive stimulus and the impact of negatively and positively valenced faces on risky decision making in MD individuals, relative to comparison subjects.
Specific Aim 2 : To determine the brain activation differences associated with anticipating and experiencing an aversive and pleasant interoceptive stimulus and their impact on brain activation during risky decision making in MD individuals relative to comparison subjects.
Specific Aim 3 : To evaluate the plasticity of the behavioral and neuroimaging findings as a function of sustained abstinence in MD individuals. Based on a neural processing model, it is proposed that MD individuals exhibit two types of abnormalities: (1) an increased sensitivity to anticipating and experiencing aversive events and (2) a decreased flexibility to adjust their behavior when anticipating or experiencing an aversive event. Two experiments are proposed. First, the effect of breathing restriction and the effects of negatively valenced faces on the frequency of risky decision making will be examined in a behavioral and neuroimaging study of 30 recently abstinent (3-6 weeks) MD individuals and 30 healthy volunteers. Second, if - as we hypothesize - MD individuals fail to adjust their risk-taking behavior in response to negatively valenced faces, we will determine in another experiment the effect of anticipation of aversive interoceptive stimuli on risky choices. Alternatively, we will test the effect of aversive interoceptive stimuli on decision-making adjustments to errors during the two- choice prediction task. We have found recently that the activation pattern within the insular cortex change as a function of duration of drug use and/or abstinence. Thus, we will extend the cross-sectional study to include a 6 months follow-up to determine whether sustained abstinence is associated with an attenuation of the hypothesized behavioral and neural abnormalities. The results from these experiments will determine whether the interoceptive system itself is "sensitized" or whether information from the interoceptive system, e.g. insular cortex, is not appropriately processed by other brain areas that are important for adjusting risk-taking and decision making, e.g. anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortex.
The basic brain and behavioral processes that cause the development and maintenance of methamphetamine dependence are poorly understood. Here, we will use brain imaging and behavioral experiments to address the question: do methamphetamine dependent individuals make poor decisions because they are overwhelmed by negative gut feelings? The answer to this question will help to develop specific interventions, e.g. to dampen the influence of negative gut feelings on decision-making or risk-taking and thereby increase the chance of abstinence.
