Abigail: A Love Like Ours---->
- Abigail and Chad's Declaration Of Their Undying Love
Abigail Johanna "Abby" Deveraux DiMera (born onscreen October 19, 1992) is a fictional character on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives and is currently portrayed by Marci Miller. She is the oldest child and only daughter of popular super couple Jack and Jennifer Deveraux. She is the sister of JJ Deveraux. She is one half of the supercouple Chad and Abigail DiMera also known as Chabby. In 2015, Chabby's son, Thomas Jack Deveraux was born. Chad is Abigail's soulmate, the love of her life.
Abigail was created by scriptwriter Sheri Anderson and executive producer Ken Corday. Abigail's storylines often focused on young love and budding romances. She is a member of the high class, core family, the Hortons. She was often titularized as the show's younger leading heroine during her time on the show and is known for her popular fan pairing with Max Brady, which spanned from 2005 to 2007, when her character left for London, England, to be with her parents. The character returned to the series in March 2011.
The role was originated by Meghan and Michael Nelson on October 19, 1992. Paige and Ryanne Kettner took over the role in 1994. Megan Corletto was introduced into the role of Abigail in 2001 and remained until 2003. She was replaced by Jillian Clare from 2003 to 2004. The role was again recast in 2004 to represent an older Abby. Then fifteen-year-old actress Ashley Benson was cast as Abby and remained with the show until her departure from the soap in 2007.
In 2010, it was reported that the character of Abby would be brought back to the canvas. In December 2010, it was announced the newcomer Kate Mansi would resume the role of Abigail. Mansi first aired in March 2011. In January of 2016, Mansi confirmed that she was leaving the show.[1]
Mansi left the role on June 24, 2016[2] and was recast for the third time with newcomer Marci Miller. Miller is set to debut in fall 2016.[3]
Character History Edit
Early yearsEdit
The elder child of Jack and Jennifer Deveraux, Abby was very loved by both of her parents. As an infant, she came down with aplastic anemia, as the result of a polluted water well. She desperately needed a bone marrow transplant, and because of Jack's Hodgkin's he was not able to donate to her, but luckily her mother's friend and co-worker Austin Reed was a perfect match. Abby was barely out of the woods when Jack, who discovered he was responsible for her anemia, took off. Before long, Abby was starting to associate Jennifer's new boyfriend Peter Blake with fatherhood, but Jack soon came back into her life. After a series of misadventures, (including her father going to prison and her mother being presumed dead), Abby and her family left Salem for Africa.
A few years later, Abby and her mother were living in Ireland, but returned home after encountering her honorary uncle Bo Brady there. Abby was thrilled when Jack followed not long after that, and began hoping that her parents would find their way back to each other, despite her mother's relationship with Brandon Walker and Colin Murphy. She was overjoyed when her parents were married, but devastated when, not long afterward, her father was murdered by the Salem Stalker. When Jennifer had to make the decision to take Jack off life support, Abby blamed her, and turned to her grandmother Jo and honorary grandfather Vern for comfort. Her emotions seesawed for a few months (she was happy when her mother got pregnant, angry when her mother considered terminating the pregnancy for health reasons), but eventually she started accepting the way things were, and with new friend and Deveraux boarder Patrick Lockhart, is eagerly anticipating her new sibling's birth.
Abby was away at camp when Jennifer decided to take off and go looking for Jack. When she returned home, she resented the fact that her mother had sent her away. Even though she was happy to meet her new brother, when she realized that her father was (once again) presumed dead, she blamed her mother, and wished that Jennifer was dead instead of Jack. Jennifer started rebelling from her mother after she came home with her new baby brother, Jack Jr., and spent a lot of time with her new friend Chelsea, who was pretending to be sweet and kind around Jennifer but was really a bad influence on Abby. She even had Abby going alone with her in her plans to drug Patrick so that she could sleep with him. When Jack finally came back from the dead for real, though, Abby was thrilled, and although still close friends with Chelsea, her closeness with her family changed Abby somewhat. Abby was devastated to learn that her father, Jack, was dying and that she would soon lose him again, but Chelsea was there to offer comfort to her friend.
Abby was overjoyed when things turned around for Jack, and he went into remission again. Shortly thereafter, though, Jack and Jennifer announced their plans to move to London. Although Jack Jr. went with their parents, Abby elected to stay in Salem and finish school, and shortly thereafter, as a university student, began working at Max Brady's garage. She soon developed a crush on Max, who at the time was back and forth between Chelsea and Stephanie, but when he broke things off with Chelsea and Stephanie left town, Max admitted that he had feelings for her as well, the two began to see each other, much to the dismay of Abby's family, who thought Max was too old and too experienced for Abby. When Abby's relationship with Max proved to be too difficult, she left Salem to attend school in New York.
Abby (then going by "Abigail") returned to Salem in 2011 to be with a newly-single Jennifer. Abigail had a hard time dealing with her parent's divorce and the fact that her dad had walked out on the family. But, she wanted her mom to be happy. Abigail reluctantly supported Jennifer's relationship with Daniel Jonas, despite how much Abigail was hurting from missing Jack. Abigail also met Chad DiMera in the spring of 2011. They began slowly dating, but Abigail remained concerned about getting romantically involved with Stefano DiMera's son. Eventually she saw that Chad wanted nothing to do with his father and Chad and Abigail's relationship progressed.
In September of 2011, Jack suddenly appeared back in Salem. Abigail was furious with her father for leaving them without saying anything, being out of touch for a year, and then suddenly reappearing. It turns out that Jack had gone to Afghanistan to investigate a story about a drug ring without telling his family where he was going. While he was there, he was kidnapped, tortured, and held hostage. Abigail felt bad for the suffering that her father endured, but still had a hard time forgiving him for leaving without telling anyone.
Chad was there for Abigail through Jack's return and the two grew closer, both personally and professionally. Abigail contributed articles to Chad's webiste, SalemSportsFan.com, and even won a journalism award for one of the columns that she'd written. Things went well until Chad started noticing that he had more in common with Abigail's best friend, Melanie; and Abigail realized that she was starting to have feelings for the much older, Austin. Abigail and Chad made the mutual decision to break up on New Year's Eve 2011. A few days later, Abigail caught Chad and Melanie looking very close and realized that the two of them had feelings for each other. Abigail was furious at both of them, especially Melanie. Despite Melanie's offer to give up Chad, Abigail could not forgive Melanie. Abigail turned her attention towards Austin. Thanks to a work-study element of her financial aid, Abigail was required to have an on-campus job. Austin offered her the position of his student assistant. Abigail was thrilled to work so closely with Austin and frequently fantasized about him returning her feelings.Abigail also applied for an intern with Madison James at Mad World Cosmetics. Madison hired Abigail and offered her a job as a model in her ad campaign that featured real-life best friends. The only condition was that Melanie was the other model. Thus, unless Melanie and Abigail could mend their broken friendship, they could not be in the ad campaign. However, as Abigail grew more obsessed with Austin, she forgot about Chad and even told Melanie that they could be friends again. A few days later, Austin appeared back in his officer, completely intoxicated. Abigail was there. She tried to comfort him. He told her that Carrie had betrayed him. Abigail kissed him. He told her to stop. She reassured him that it was okay and kissed him again. Then, Austin passed out on the couch. Abigail took her clothes off and lay down next to him. When he woke up, Abigail told Austin that they had slept together. Horrified, Austin went to make things better with Carrie. When Abigail saw Austin kissing Carrie later, she was heartbroken. When Austin came to her and wanted to fix their marriage, Carrie agreed to give it a try. The two of them went away for a romantic weekend. But, a heartbroken Abigail tracked them down. When Austin refused to return her feelings, Abigail announced that the two of them had slept together. Carrie was furious with Austin and left.
Abigail believed that she and Austin were meant to be together. While ranting to Melanie about her love for Austin, Abigail let it slip that the two of them did not slept together. Melanie urged Abigail to tell the truth. Abigail confessed to Austin that she had made up the whole affair. Carrie, Jack and Jennifer overheard her confession. Carrie slapped Abigail and accused her of ruining Carrie's life. Despite Jack and Jennifer's protest, Carrie insisted that Abigail was an adult and must be held accountable for her actions. Carrie left the Town Square in tears. Austin chased after her. Jack and Jennifer comforted Abigail. She swore that she would never do anything like that again. Abigail spent her time hanging out with her friends and trying to forget the embarrassment of her lie about Austin. One day, she bumped into a handsome stranger, Cameron Davis - Lexie's half-brother. The two began a flirtation that soon turned into a relationship. Her relationship with her father improved as well. He worked with Marlena and a support group to recover from PTSD. Eventually, he was able to open up to Abigail about it and she soon forgave him.
In July 2012, Abigail and Cameron attended a memorial/autism fundraiser. However, there was a great explosion that night in the tunnels underneath Salem. Many buildings were damaged, including the banquet hall where Lexie's benefit was being held. Abigail was trapped in the elevator.
Jennifer, Jack, and Cameron worked to get Abigail out. When they were able to pry the doors open a little, Jack went into the elevator to rescue Abigail. But, the elevator cables continued to break. Cameron and Jennifer were able to open the doors again and Jack pushed Abigail out. Then, the doors closed and the final cables broke. The elevator crashed with Jack inside. Roman reported that the EMTs pronounced Jack dead upon impact. Heartbroken, Abigail and Jennifer traveled to London to be with J.J. They returned a few weeks later after his memorial service. Heartbroken by her father's death, Abigail threw herself into her relationship with Cameron. But, when Cameron felt that Abigail was trying to deal with her grief by wanting to have sex with him, he broke things off with Abigail. He went on a few dates with a woman named Emily, but that relationship did not last. Soon, he got back involved with Abigail. Abigail was embarrassed when Cameron found out that she had been a member of the "Golden Circle" club in high school -- a group of kids who promised to wait to have sex until they were married. But Cameron assured Abigail that they could take their relationship at her pace.
But, Cameron was still keeping a secret from Abigail. He was working a second job as a stripper to make money to pay off one of Celeste's debts. When Abigail found out about it, she was shocked, but more concerned that if Anne Milbauer from HR found out about it, she would have Cameron fired. So, Abigail arranged for Anne to be present on a night when several of Salem's men (Rafe, Cameron, Daniel, and Brady) would strip to raise money for a new wing at the hospital. When the hospital board heard how much money was raised, they dismissed Anne's objection.
But, things weren't perfectly smooth for Cameron and Abigail, as Chad had since made it known to Abigail that he was interested in her too. Both guys agreed to give Abigail the time to figure out which guy she wanted to be with. On the Fourth of July, Chad fell and hit his head, causing Cameron to insist that Chad have it checked out. When Cameron looked at the scans of Chad's head, Cameron told Chad that there was an indication of a brain tumor and urged Chad to see a specialist.
Chad got a clean bill of health, but told Cameron that he did have a brain tumor. Cameron backed off Abigail and urged her to spend more time with Chad. Abigail and Chad grew closer and Cameron went on a few casual dates with Gabi. But when Chad got shot and went into emergency surgery, EJ was forced to come clean and let Cameron know that Chad wasn't on any drug protocols because Chad didn't have a tumor. Cameron told Chad to come clean with Abigail.
Chad moved forward with her, taking her on several dates. When Abigail had trouble with her family, she leaned on Chad for support and their relationship became serious. Chad was able to track down and advanced copy of Jack's book and gift it to Abigail. The two continued to grow closer and they ended up sleeping together. Abigail was extremely happy with Chad and began accompanying him to family events. On the night of Sami and EJ's engagement party, for which Chad served as best man, Marge Bernardi came into the party and tried to shoot EJ. Chad jumped in front of the gun and took the bullet. Abigail fell down at his side and tried to stop the bleeding with her hands. When Chad was rushed to surgery, EJ was forced to tell Cameron that Chad didn't have a brain tumor and was not on any type of treatment drugs. Cameron was mad at Chad and urged him to tell Abigail the truth.
While Chad's surgery was a success, the doctors found an abnormality with Chad's heart that required immediate surgery. The best doctor was in Boston, so Stefano made plans to fly to Boston with Chad for the second surgery. Before he left Chad came clean with Abigail. She broke up with him, deciding that this wasn't the best time for them to be together. Then, she went to confront Cameron about turning her over to Chad without a fight. Cameron tried to apologize, but Abigail was furious. A few days later Cameron got a job offer from Doctors Without Boarders. He accepted the position and left Salem. After Chad's surgery, he called EJ to tell him that the surgery was a success, but to let Abigail know that he wouldn't be coming back to Salem.
Newly single, Abigial turned her attention back towards her family. Abigail was concerned that she hadn't heard from her cousin Nick since he left town. (In reality, Gabi, Kate, and Sami had murdered Nick when he attacked Gabi.) When Abigail was getting close to figuring out that something happened between Gabi and Nick before Nick left, EJ, who was protecting Sami, went to the Horton cabin to convince Abigail to let the issue go. EJ and Abigail ended up fighting, which lead to the two of them sleeping together. Their affair didn't stop there. After an alive Nick showed up at Arianna's christening, Sami encouraged EJ to stop Abigail from talking to Hope about Nick's disappearance. So, EJ followed Abigail into the hospital supply closet where they almost had sex again.
By this time, Abigail couldn't stop thinking about EJ. So she followed him one day to his gym. The two had sex in the shower when Sami walked in. EJ came out to talk to Sami while Abigail stayed hidden. Abigail heard Sami talk about the fact that EJ and Sami weren't sleeping together at the moment. Abigail started to realize that she was only with EJ because Sami wasn't. EJ tried to explain to Abigail that she had nothing to feel bad about. He accepted most of the blame for their affair. But, he reiterated that what happened between them was a mistake. He was in love with Sami. Eventually, Abigail conceded that their affair was over.
She eventually started dating Ben Weston, but once Chad returned her feelings for him resurfaced. In June 2015, Abigail cheats on Ben and sleeps with Chad. Chad tells Abigail that he was just using her to get revenge on what happened with EJ, but the truth is he is still in love with her and wants to protect her from his father. Abigail becomes pregnant and the father is revealed to be Ben after Ben's father Clyde Weston threatens the doctors facilitating the paternity test.
When Chad is accused of being the "Necktie Killer", Abigail sticks by him even though she's still with Ben. While getting ready for Hope Brady's wedding to Aiden Jennings, Abigail tells her mother that Ben is acting weird, which Ben overhears. Later on, Ben admits the being the Necktie Killer and to framing Chad. Abigail tries to get him to get help but he refuses. Then when Abigail tries to get ways he knocks her out and takes her to an abandoned cabin in Mammoth Falls and handcuffed her to a chair so she couldn't escape. Abigail tried to escape a few times but failed. A little while later, she started getting pains which she thought were cramps but they later turned out to be labor pains.
When she is forced to call Chad that she's done with him, she is able to communicate with Chad that she's in trouble without Ben knowing. Chad arrives at the cabin, but Ben knocks him out and ties him and Abigail to the bed, setting it on fire and leaving with Abigail's premature son. Chad is eventually able to get himself and Abigail free and he carries her to safety. They are found by the police and Chad and Abigail return to Salem. Stricken over the disappearance of her son, Chad and Abigail's brother JJ Deveraux go back to Mammoth Falls, where Abigail was being held hostage and find her son at a motel and then reunite them at the hospital in Salem. She renames her son Thomas Jack Deveraux. Afterwards, Chad and Abigail start to plan a future together. Chad is later hypnotized by Marlena but is brainwashed by Andre DiMera, after he hijacks the session, to do the family bidding and get close to Belle after Sami stole the DiMera fortune. He is also forced to break up with Abigail. After Thomas gets sick it's revealed that Chad is his father, not Ben. He and Abigail eventually get engaged.
Weeks later, after Stefano's death, Chad buys the DiMera mansion, and he and Abby move in. Chad and Abby plan their wedding, but Chad then learns that Ben has escaped custody. On their wedding day, Abby sees Ben outside the window and lets out a blood curdling scream. After it's determined that Ben is nowhere on the property, Abby and Chad get married. Abby continued to be haunted by Ben even on her honeymoon with Chad. When they get back to Salem, Abby hallucinates seeing and interacting with Ben. "Ben" even picks up Thomas and goes to leave orb him. Abby shouts at Chad and JJ to stop Ben, but they don't see him there.
Abby continues to have hallucinations of Ben until the real one shows up. Abby gets Ben to drop his guard by lying about Chad abusing her, and then seducing him. When they get to the bedroom, Abby sticks a knife in Ben's shoulder and he passes out. She ties him to the bed, and wakes him up just so she can taunt him. Abby strikes a match and prepares to set Ben on fire. Ben tells Abby he will always be with her, even if she kills him. Without hesitation, Abby set Ben on fire. Chad arrived and put out the fire. Abby was furious with Chad as she wanted Ben to die.
Abby overheard Chad and Marlena talking about admitting Abby into a mental institution, and Abby took Thomas and fled to a motel. Chad and JJ found them, and talked Abby into returning home. When Abby couldn't calm Thomas down, but Chad was able, Abby realized she needs help, and agreed to go get help. While being evaluated at the hospital, Abby had a nightmare about Ben. "Ben" told Abby now that he knows she doesn't love him, she has to die, and Abby woke up alone and afraid.
Abby eventually requested that Chad no longer visit her, but in June, Abby was injured in a fire. Chad went to see Abby, who insisted that Ben was there. In Abby's mind, she could still see Ben. Chad was horrified and confused that Abby seemed to be getting worse, not better. Chad got even more bad news when he learned that Abby was the one who set the fire.
As Abby slept, she remembered seeing Ben again. Abby opened a drawer in her room that had a lighter and can of gas, which Abby used, hoping to rid herself or "Ben" for good. Then, Abby imagined that Jack had appeared and dragged her out of her room, before she got too injured. When Abby woke up, she declared that she wanted to leave, and Chad agrees to help her escape.
Return from the "dead"EditIn November 2016, Abby returns to Salem after faking her death with Andre's help, and being cared for by Laura. Abby goes to see Thomas and runs into Andre at the mansion. Abby hides when Chad comes home, and waits until he leaves before she comes out of hiding. Andre promises Abby he won't tell Chad she has returned to Salem. Abby briefly holds Thomas, before leaving the mansion. Abby reveals herself to Jennifer, and explains why she ran away. She hides out at home with only Jennifer knowing she is alive. When Andre comes over to talk to Jennifer, Abby attempts to run. Andre catches her, and to Abby's surprise, Andre encourages Abby to reveals herself to Chad, and reclaim her life. Andre goes to take Abby to the mansion, but they see Chad at the square. Abby attempts to run, but Andre stops her, and tells her it is fate. Abby slowly approaches Chad, but then runs away when she sees Gabi come up to him. Andre catches up with Abby, and advises her to take some time to think about it. He gives her an untraceable phone to call him anytime she needs to.
Abby hides out in the attic at Jennifer's, and is eventually discovered by JJ, who is happy to see his sister alive, and agrees to keep her secret. Andre continues to push Abby to reveal herself. Abby sees Dario Hernandez down by the docks, and blackmails him into keeping her secret using his illegal activities as leverag. Abby sees Chad talking to a memorial for Abby in the park, and she has a panic attack and runs into Dario, who comforts her.
Abby meets with Andre, and tells him she is finally ready to reveal herself and reclaim her life. Andre goes with Abby to present her to Chad, but they walk in on Chad and Gabi as they are passionately kissing. Abby runs off, and starts to have a panic attack. Andre catches up with her, and assures her that Gabi is just a distraction, and Chad will drop her when Abby reveals her. Abby thinks the best thing for everyone is to leave Salem for good. She thanks Andre for his help, and says that despite his initial motive for using Abby to get back into Chad's good graces, she believes he wants them both to be happy, and asks him to respect her decision.Abby says goodbye to Jennifer and is all set to leave Salem. Andre has Abby meet him and tells her if she won't tell him she is alive then he will. Abby threatens to tell Chad about Andre's involvement, and Andre backs off. Abby goes to say good bye to Thomas and Chad sees her. Chad is shocked and relieved to know Abby is alive, but wants to know where she was. Abby explains everything to Chad and he is frustrated and shocked by Abby and Andre's actions. Abby says Chad has every right to hate her, but Chad yells he doesn't hate her, but doesn't understand how she could do this. Abby says she wishes she really were dead, and Chad tells her not to say that. Thomas wakes up and starts crying, and Chad asks Abby if she can be a mother for Thomas.
Chad keeps his distance, but allows Abby to stay at the mansion, so Thomas can still have his mother. Gabi soon finds out that Abby is alive, and helps Abby through a panic attack as well as promising to keep it from Chad. On New Years Eve, Abby attempts to romance Chad, but fears they are moving too fast. After Chad goes to sleep, Abby comes into the room.
They talk things through, and almost make love before they both stop it. Chad also confides in Abby about Stefano being alive, and says he is tired of people lying to him. Abby leaves, but thinks to herself how Chad still wants her.

Michael Carpenter is a Vermont inmate judged as a habitual offender and he was one of the 500 or so prisoners the state sends to out-of-state prisons. Today, he is back in Vermont.
He is back because he won his lawsuit against the state. He contended that his constitutional rights were violated and Washington Superior Court Judge Helen Toor agreed. She ruled he was denied equal protection under the Constitution.
In the guest editorial in the Nov. 24 edition of this paper, Emerson Lynn scoffs at the recent launch of an effort to introduce a carbon tax. The tax, he says, will stunt economic growth and affirm Vermont as an expensive place to live. He does acknowledge that a carbon tax would be an effective way to reduce fossil fuel use and address climate change. But economic growth and job creation is more important than addressing climate change, in his view.
This week's writer is Bristol resident David Brynn, the Executive Director of Vermont Family Forests who for this piece described himself as "Commoner, Little Otter Creek Catchment, NW Addison County, Vermont, USA."
VERGENNES — Holiday spirit will be bubbling over in the Little City of Vergennes this season starting off with the ninth annual Holiday Stroll this Saturday, Dec. 6. The month of December will see many activities in Vergennes to keep people in the holiday frame of mind.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County's 23 towns bore the brunt of a Thanksgiving Eve snowstorm that blanketed Vermont and much of the Northeast on the busiest travel day of the year.
Forecasters from the National Weather Service office in South Burlington said Addison County got more snow than any other county in Vermont, ranging from 8 inches in Vergennes to 16.5 inches in Orwell.
"That was the jackpot area," said NWS meteorologist Andrew Loconto. "There was a pretty good snowband which dropped some good amounts across the county."
BRISTOL — The Bristol selectboard on Monday voted to close the town landfill when its current certification expires at the end of 2016.
The decision came after what Town Administrator Therese Kirby called a productive meeting between town and state Agency of Natural Resources officials to find ways to fund the landfill's closure.
"They understand the plight of Bristol residents and are trying to help us avoid bonding, look for money, and find an alternative (landfill) cover," Kirby said.
MIDDLEBURY — There will again be a warming shelter to help the homeless this winter, but it will be located in the Congregational Church of Middlebury's Charter House on North Pleasant Street instead of at the Memorial Baptist Church.

Paris: Syria has accepted a Russian proposal to place its chemical weapons under international control for dismantling, the Syrian foreign minister said on Tuesday, amid a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at averting Western military action.
Speaking in Moscow, Walid al-Moallem said his government quickly agreed to the plan to "derail US aggression" — an allusion to possible US-led strikes over a deadly August 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus that Western powers blame on the Syrian regime. Syrian President Bashar Assad has denied the claim.

A man found dead after a house fire early this morning in Forward Township died of a gunshot wound, the Allegheny County medical examiner's office said.
That office hasn't identified the man, who was found by a neighbor on the first floor in his home around 2:24 a.m., Charles Moffatt Allegheny County police superintendent said.
The manner of death is pending.
The neighbor saw the house in the 400 block of Bunola River Road on fire, ran inside, discovered the man and called 911. The fire is being investigated as a possible arson, the superintendent said.
Allegheny County police are leading the investigation. No additional details were available.mobilehome - breaking - neigh_north

OK Google from any screen, even lock
I have been trying to find a way to use voice commands from lock screen. Obviously s voice doesn't work. Google is rolling out an update to allow ok Google from any screen. I found a link to download it and will post at the end. Unfortunately the lock screen timeout makes it almost useless because it doesn't actually unlock it and it times out. I found a way around that until they fix it. Wake up phone (apparently only time that isn't necessary is on charger) I use the air wake. Say ok Google, then immediately tell it to open s voice. The screen just starts to turn off as s voice opens. Now tell s voice to open Google.

Re: OK Google from any screen, even lock
That's because Google isn't rolling it out with that function unlocked to everyone yet. Even if you have the current version. You have to manually install the updated version that's already unlocked. I had the latest too. Probably to give them a chance to fix the bugs. Like not having the permissions to disable the lock screen. It will open from lock screen but will time out and lock again shortly unless you have it open an app that does. Like s voice. Which only functions properly when in the app. So I say ok Google, have it open s voice, then tell s voice to open Google.

Nothing works on the S5 unless the Lockscreen has been unlocked.
That includes Kies 3.0 and SideSync 3.0
Both give a warning that the phone is locked (from the PC)

Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP) is the brand behind Coors Light, Miller Lite, Molson Canadian, Carling, and Blue Moon. Its products are popular and its earnings are strong, but the company lacks enough growth to justify its price.
The US light beer market is currently six times larger than the craft industry and Molson Coors offers some of its top brands. Coors Light is currently the second most popular light beer in the US, while Miller Lite ranks fourth. Molson Coors also enjoys strong preference in foreign markets. Its Coors Light is the number one beer in Canada, while Molson Canadian ranks third. Molson Coors also makes the most popular beer in the UK - Carling. The company is also doing well in the craft beer market. Molson Coors' Blue Moon is the largest craft brand in the US.
Molson Coors is well-positioned to take advantage of these facts. The company is investing in its core brands, which account for 70% of its volume, while reducing costs - both in operations and to the consumer. The idea is to bolster brand loyalty while also attracting new drinkers. Improving GDP trends in North America and declining unemployment points to improving conditions in Molson Coors core markets, but this is tempered against a decline in beer-only drinkers and a growing preference for smaller craft beers.
Molson Coors has been successful so far in keeping costs down - the company has enjoyed roughly $1 billion in cost saving synergies and savings from operational efficiencies since 2008. Cost savings may help with this, but Americans are drinking less beer and that trend is likely to continue. Molson Coors is also losing market share in millennials - particularly in its economy and premium regular beers.
Molson Coors has a joint venture with SABMiller in the US and owning the entire joint venture would be a compelling opportunity, says International Strategy & Investment group LLC analyst Robert Ottenstein. According to the Financial Times, in June, Molson Coors CEO Peter Swinburn said he would not rule out buying rival SABMiller's 58 per cent stake in MillerCoors." Swinburn is expected to retire at the end of the year.
Molson Coors is trading around $70 per share after seeing a brief boost on Wednesday from reporting its second-quarter earnings. The $12.9 billion market cap company's net income grew to $1.56 per diluted share, up from $1.44 for the same quarter last year. On a non-GAAP basis, Molson Coors posted $1.57 per diluted share versus $1.47 for 2Q13.
Molson Coors is a strong company. It has solid stock performance, it is up over 26% year to date and 67% over the past three years. The company also has strong growth in its earnings per share, net income, profit margins, and cash flow from operations.
Molson Coors is priced at 18.35 times its current earnings, which is lower than its industry's 19.5, but significantly higher than Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD)'s 12.91 PE ratio. At the same time, Molson Coors is only predicted to grow at a rate of 7% per annum over the next five years, while its industry is forecasted to grow at a rate of almost 15% and Anheuser-Busch is expected to grow at 9%.
Molson Coors is a solid hold position, but it isn't worth buying in at this price. The growth just isn't there. The company is strong enough that it may be able to deliver decent returns for those who already hold a position, but there isn't enough margin to warrant initiating a long position at this time.

Lloyd Pinkney was always thinking. The engineer, who worked at the National Research Council in Ottawa for 44 years, was out at a movie one night with his wife and another couple and still pondering an engineering conundrum when he had a eureka moment.
It was The Graduate and toward the end of the movie, Dustin Hoffman's Benjamin runs by the wall of a church.
"That's how I'll do it! That's it!" he called out in the dark, quiet theatre, to be immediately shushed by his wife.
Seeing the image of a moving object against a fixed object gave him the idea of using fixed points to measure movement. It was a concept he would apply in a couple of innovative ways: He used it initially to monitor car crashes when he invented a roadside guardrail, and it later became an essential component of a positioning system he created for the Canadarm. The Space Vision System (SVS) he conceived uses cameras on a spacecraft and at the end of the arm to track points on a payload and measure their movements to calculate precisely where the arm sits in three-dimensional space.
"We made it work as a team but without Lloyd, there would be no system. It was his creativity at the beginning that got it started," says Steve MacLean, former astronaut and former president of the Canadian Space Agency.
Mr. Pinkney had been asked to create the system as a backup, in case the Canadarm didn't meet the space agency's specifications for control. The arm did, and was delivered to NASA in 1981 without the system.
But when Mr. MacLean flew on the shuttle Columbia in 1992, he took SVS with him, testing it for five days in space to see if it could control the arm more precisely.
"We wondered if it would work. Of course it did. Lloyd was never wrong," recalls Garry Lindberg, who was project manager for the Canadarm starting in 1974 and became director general for the NRC in 1979. "It really augmented the arm's abilities. It made it possible to do things that the basic arm could not do."
The NRC retrofitted all Canadarms to include SVS and it became a standard part of the Canadarm2, which was released in 2001. The system, which eventually used lasers instead of cameras, was instrumental in helping build the International Space Station, where it is still in use today.
In his four decades at the NRC, Mr. Pinkney worked on a wide range of projects through the Institute for Aerospace Research and the Integrated Manufacturing Technologies Institute.
In the 1970s, he helped invent an innovative roadside guardrail made of cables that, when a car crashed into it, would gently nudge it back to the side of the road, causing minimal damage to the vehicle and its occupants.
"The barriers should have been used, but they didn't get adopted," Mr. Lindberg recalls.
At one point, the NRC was having a hard time calibrating one of the wind tunnels it used to test the safety of airplanes. Mr. Pinkney was called in and, using his extensive knowledge of physics, engineering and aerospace design, got it back on track.
"He was a brilliant mind and did all sorts of interesting things," Mr. Lindberg says.
A well-rounded childhood
Harold Frederick Lloyd Pinkney was born in 1931 in Blairmore, a coal-mining town in southern Alberta. His father, Robert William Harold Pinkney (who went by the name Harold), was a decorated First World War veteran who fought at Passchendaele, and after the war ran the family business, the general store F.M. Thompson Company.
Young Lloyd and his older sisters Thelma and Audrey grew up working in the store, skiing in the nearby Rockies and golfing – Mr. Pinkney's mother, Elin, was the ladies' champion at the local golf club for 10 years and Audrey later held the same title for a decade herself. Audrey was an excellent pianist and Lloyd played the violin; music was a huge part of all Pinkney family gatherings.
Mr. Pinkney studied engineering physics at the University of Alberta (he was pals with future premier Peter Lougheed, who was president of the students' union). Always well rounded, he gained a spot on the school's ski team and its orchestra. The NRC hired him right out of school in 1954 and he moved to Ottawa. He soon landed scholarships to complete his master's degree and PhD in engineering physics at Stanford University, with the NRC granting him leaves to do so.
In 1961, he went on a double date with a friend from the NRC. Right away, he hit it off with his buddy's date, Mary Gayle Anderson, an elementary school teacher. "He was a very bright man. But he needed someone who was social and organized. And of course being a teacher, I was both," she recalls.
Seeing their obvious compatibility, the friend graciously bowed out and the couple married in August, 1962.
The Pinkneys started a family in 1966 and had three kids: Chris, Mary Ellen and Laurie. With his career in full swing, Mr. Pinkney began devoting less time to his hobbies, which included playing violin in various groups and singing with the Ottawa Choral Society and a group called the Gleeman Four. He even cut back on his golf games. "I'd rather be with the kids," he told his wife. He remained involved with City View United Church and sometimes attended meet-ups with a small Mensa group in Ottawa.
In 1996, Mr. Pinkney retired from the NRC and then worked for six years with Neptec Design Group in Kanata, just outside Ottawa, the manufacturer of SVS.
He fully retired at age 71 and he and his wife travelled and enjoyed their grandchildren (there are now nine). By his late 70s, there were obvious signs of cognitive decline and Mr. Pinkney was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He died on May 3 at the age of 83, a few months shy of his 52nd wedding anniversary.
'Earth to Dad, Earth to Dad'
From the early days of his career, Mr. Pinkney was known for a devotion to work and science, but not a conventional sense of time. In his bachelor days, he was often found by security guards early in the morning asleep at his desk. Secretaries kept a sign-in sheet and staff members who were late by 15 minutes got a red line through their names. "Lloyd collected a fair number of red lines," Mr. Lindberg recalls.
Work deadlines were also somewhat elastic for Mr. Pinkney, who reportedly took quite some time to calibrate the wind tunnel. In the deadline-driven aerospace industry, this was a challenge, Mr. MacLean recalls, as he'd often complete projects late. "But there was usually a reason."
Once he had a family, Mr. Pinkney made an effort to return home early to spend time with the kids and, once they were in bed, with his wife. But once Ms. Pinkney went to sleep, he'd often stay up with a notepad, thinking. During a project to test the safety of new car headlights from Europe, which had to be run in the dark, he would be arriving home to sleep when she and the children were getting up.
When the children were infants, he took charge of the middle-of-the-night feeding. Ms. Pinkney would often hear him talking aloud to the baby about the latest physics, mathematical or engineering problem he was working through.
He still rarely arrived at work for the required 8:30 a.m. start and had to be prodded by his wife to remember social functions – but he always made it, although he was often lost in thought. "Earth to Dad, Earth to Dad," the kids would frequently say.
Chris Pinkney recalls that being the son of a brilliant engineer had its perks. While his friends weren't quite sure what to make of a father who talked about math and science and claimed the schools were teaching calculus all wrong, young Chris thought it was pretty cool to have a dad who crashed cars for a living– he got to watch the videos of the guardrail tests as a youngster.
Years later, Chris Pinkney's university friends from Queen's would wangle weekend invitations to the house so Lloyd Pinkney could explain complex math and business concepts to them.
When the Pinkneys would visit Blairmore, Mr. Pinkney would sit down with his sister Thelma's son Fred Bradley, with whom he was very close, and talk politics for hours. "He was always looking for someone to have a conversation with," Mr. MacLean says.
While Mr. Pinkney sometimes came across as a brilliant and eccentric scientist, everyone who got to know him quickly discovered he was equally kind, generous and never condescending, even when sharing his extensive knowledge.
When Chris Pinkney brought home Mimi Wood, his future wife, for the first time, when the two were doing MBAs at Western, she was studying for a huge exam in operations management. Mr. Pinkney took her textbook and stayed up all night reading it. He then spent the entire next day with her, talking her through the challenging information. "He always wanted to help," Chris Pinkney says.
Even in the stressful climate of working with others on tight deadlines at the NRC, Mr. Pinkney stayed calm. "He never got angry at anyone. And in our industry that was hard to do," Mr. MacLean says.
His wife also recalls him most as a clever man who was very easy to live with. "Even when I wanted to fight with him, he'd just say, 'I know, I know. We'll work it out, don't you worry about it.'"
Mr. Pinkney leaves his wife, Mary Gayle; son, Chris; daughters Mary Ellen Chapman and Laurie Pinkney; and his nine grandchildren.To submit an I Remember: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Willoughby News-Herald newspaper has a story and video on Cellar Rats Brewery, located at the Debonne Vineyards winery in Madison. The brewery/winery has seen an influx of new customers since the brewery began in 2008.
"Good winery customers I've seen maybe five times a year now are out here drinking beer," Tony Debevc Sr. told the newspaper. "I ask them about it only to find that they love to come here and have only been drinking wine because that was all we had. They consider themselves, first and foremost, beer drinkers."
Seeing the success of Cellar Rats, other wineries in the area have started offering beer -- although not beer they've made themselves. Cellar Rats is one of two combined winery/breweries in Ohio right now. The other is Valley Vineyards/Cellar Dweller Brewery in Morrow.

London's Opening Ceremony
July 27, 2012 --
London is about to officially launch the 2012 Summer Olympic Games with an opening ceremony at the Olympic Stadium. Entitled "Isles of Wonder," the event will transform the stadium into the British countryside. It will also feature the traditional parade of some 10,000 athletes representing more than 200 nations this year. Beyond the theme, the parade and a leaked playlist, few details have emerged about the ceremony. Acclaimed film directors Danny Boyle and Stephen Daldry have been tasked with planning the occasion this year. The opening ceremony is possibly the single most watched event of any Olympics, potentially drawing in billions of viewers worldwide. That certainly puts more pressure on the organizers, but can make them all the more memorable for audiences.

Beijing 2008 Hailed as the most spectacular opening of any Olympics, the opening ceremonies in Beijing in 2008 cost the host nation $100 million to orchestrate. And based on the reviews, it was worth every yuan. The opening ceremonies included a choreographed countdown to the start of the games from 2,008 drummers, an onslaught of fireworks, colorful dancers surrounding a giant illuminated globe, elaborate costumes, martial artists and much more. The ceremony featured some 14,000 participants and took more than a year of preparation work.

Berlin 1936 The Olympic Games were awarded to Germany before Adolph Hitler came to power. And while Hitler was not a big sports fan, his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, convinced him the festivities could be exploited to advance the Nazi cause. The Nazi administration spent 42 million Reichmarks building an impressive 325-acre Olympics sports complex located about five miles west of Berlin. Controversy arose when Germany decided not to allow non-Aryans from competing on their team. To avoid massive boycotts and mounting international pressure, the Nazis made a token gesture by allowing a part-Jewish athlete, Helene Mayer, back on their Olympic team. The most beloved emblems of the modern Olympics have a link to the Berlin games. "The torch relay is so ingrained in the modern choreography that most people today assume it was a revival of a pagan tradition -- unaware that it was actually concocted for Hitler's Games in Berlin," author Tony Perrottet writes in his book, "The Naked Olympics."

Sydney 2004 Directed by choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou, the opening ceremony for the 2004 Olympic Games in Sydney drew international praise for its use of sight and sound to evoke the history and mythology of the host nation. Beyond the view of American audiences, however, the ceremony also included nudity. An actress representing a Minoan princess appeared topless during the event, compelling censors at NBC, the network broadcasting the games in the United States, to pixelate her breasts. Actors dressed as Greek statues also appeared to be naked. In this case, NBC compensated by only filming them from the waist up. The ceremony drew a small number of indecency complaints, leading the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to an investigation of the broadcast.

Atlanta 1996 The 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta featured a former Olympian no one had expected to see carrying the Olympic torch: Muhammad Ali. Ali had competed in the 1960 Olympics in Rome and won a gold medal in the light heavyweight boxing division. According to Ali's biography, in a fit of anger following a dispute with a "whites-only" restaurant, he threw his gold medal into the Ohio River. Ali was present at the opening ceremonies to light the Olympic torch. He also received a replacement medal during the games.

Barcelona 1992 Chosen to host the 1992 Summer Games, Barcelona used its opening ceremony to show off the city's flair for the dramatic. Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo lit an arrow using the Olympic flame brought to the stadium at the end of the torch relay. He then fired the arrow through the night sky and into a cauldron to light a giant Olympic torch, seemingly igniting it, to the delight of the crowd. Although Rebollo's arrow appeared to hit its target, he in fact fired well beyond the stadium to avoid injuring onlookers, according to BBC News. The cauldron was actually lit via remote control.

Seoul 1988 The 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul got the games off to a bit of a false start during the opening ceremony. Celebrating the end of widespread boycotts that plagued the games throughout the Cold War, the ceremony's organizers decided to release doves in conjunction with the lighting of the Olympic cauldron as a demonstration of unity. Several birds ended up getting caught in the fire, essentially sending the event's peace symbol up in flames.

Los Angeles 1984 Eager to show up the Soviet Union, who hosted the previous Olympics, the opening ceremony of the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles featured something that no Olympics has before or since: a man flying a jet pack. The opening ceremony was praised for the high production values the organizers had introduced to the live show. The lighting of the Olympic cauldron by former athlete Rafer Johnson, which led a flame through the five rings of the Olympic logo, capped the event. The games also proved to be a massive financial success and a boon to the city of Los Angeles.

Tokyo 1964 Almost 20 years after the end of World War II, Tokyo was selected to be the site of the 18th Olympiad. With only two decades separating Japan from the war, the country used its opening ceremony to show that the nation was still recovering from its battle scars but eager for peace. On Oct. 10, 1964, Yoshinori Sakai completed the final stretch of the Olympic torch relay and lit the cauldron, marking the start of the games. Sakai was chosen because he had been born in Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, the same day an atomic bomb struck that city.

Belgium 1920 The 1920 Olympic in Antwerp, Belgium, marked the first games since the end of World War I. Germany, Austria and other defeated nations were not invited to participate in the games, but the Belgian hosts still wanted to make unity a central theme of the event. At the opening ceremony of the VII Olympiad, the Olympic Flag, featuring rings of five colors derived from the flags of every nation in the world, flew for the first time. Once passed down at the end of closing ceremonies of every Olympics, the original Olympic flag, known as the Antwerp flag, now lives in the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.
FULL COVERAGE: The London Olympics
Two astronauts and a cosmonaut returned to Earth on Monday after a 166-day mission, bringing the Olympic torch back from the International Space Station after a historic space walk.
The trip completed the most ambitious leg of Russia's unparallelled torch relay in the run-up to the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in February.
The Soyuz capsule carrying Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and Italian colleague Luca Parmitano touched down on the frosty steppes of Kazakhstan at 0249 GMT.
NEWS: Olympic Torch Heading to the Space Station
The torch, kept unlit throughout its space journey due to safety precautions on the space station, was securely wrapped during the descent, and an employee of Russia's space agency Roscosmos took it out of the packaging.
"Here's the torch!" he said, presenting it to the cameras before handing it to veteran space traveller and Soyuz captain Yurchikhin, who sat smiling wrapped up in a blue blanket near the Soyuz.
Yurchikhin took off his gloves and posed for pictures with the 1.8-kilogram (4 lb) and nearly meter-long torch.

After a few minutes, Nyberg and Parmitano, who had completed his first space voyage, were also extricated from the craft, which had landed on its side -- something that frequently happens due to the drag of the parachute.
The trio sat briefly in the sunshine surrounded by support staff as well as the flags of Russia and the Sochi Olympic Games before being carried to a heated medical tent to change out of their launch suits and undergo initial medical tests.
The capsule completed a "flawless descent" and touched down exactly on time in a "bulls-eye landing," a NASA TV commentator said.
"The crew is feeling well," Roscosmos said in a statement.
Cosmonaut Oleg Kotov took the Olympic torch for a historic spacewalk outside the International Space Station on Nov. 9.NASA TV
Dominated by the Olympic theme, the returning 37th expedition nevertheless carried out the usual scientific research and was not without drama -- at one point Parmitano's helmet started accumulating water on a space walk, cutting off all visibility and forcing him to return inside quickly.
A team of three Russians, two Americans, and a Japanese astronaut remain aboard the ISS which, before Monday's return had been crammed with nine people, who hosted a rare conference from space last week.
Russia sent the torch on its four-day space mission on Thursday and even covered the rocket in Olympic insignia. The torch was "hung" in the Russian module after taking a tour of the space station.

Cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazansky on Saturday took it for a space walk and photo op, posing spectacularly against the backdrop of the ISS and the Earth and completing a torch handover that was viewed live worldwide and shown on screens in New York's Times Square.
The space-travelling torch will light the Olympic cauldron in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, marking the start of the Winter Games on February 7, authorities said.
The futuristic-looking torch has another connection to space -- it was produced at the KrasMash factory in Siberia that makes the heavy Proton rockets Russia uses to haul satellites to orbit.
Russia has put together an impressive Olympic relay, sending the torch through all of its regions and as far as the North Pole on a nuclear-powered icebreaker.
PHOTOS: Astronauts Watch Spectacular Spacecraft Reentry
The relay, a no-expense-spared event that has seen many government officials, celebrities and Olympic champions participate, will also take the torch to the world's deepest freshwater lake Baikal and Europe's highest mountain peak Elbrus.
Following Sochi's winning bid, promoted by President Vladimir Putin, Russia will host its first Olympic event since the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow, which were boycotted by a number of Western nations over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
Although a space walk with a torch was unprecedented, other Olympic torches have travelled to space on US space shuttle voyages ahead of the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta and the 2000 Games in Sydney.

The Beaver Island Music Festival has proud history of searching out and combining a wide range of musical genera and musicians from Michigan to Nationally performing acts into a single event. Reaching for the most talented, diverse, creative, talents that have their own style. Bringing to the festival each year music and talents that you may or may not have heard of. What we know is that you will leave our festival with a new favorite group!
"Music is the universal language of mankind."
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Where the magic starts!
You may not know these happy guys, but they are the ones responsible for the unbelievable quality of music that you are accustomed to at BIMF! There are no better sound engineers! Under paid, under fed, and sleep deprived they march on each year to see that the BIMF musicians have the best sound quality and that you have the best time of your lives. In our early years Chris Macintosh 2002, Stephen Garcia, and Charles Hughes 2003 were the festivals starting sound engineering crew. Martin Klemm (Kalamazoo Recording Company) strolled into our festival doing a documentary in 2006 and from that point on he was guaranteed to be up in the treehouse making history! He brought along Erik Pye the right hand man. In 2013 Martin brought us Bryan Heaney to pass along the future historic sound quality torch. In 2014 Bryan brought us Garrett! So the next time you see one of these unbelievably hard working gents let them know you appreciate the work they do to see that BIMF is always top notch!

Wisconsin trees may not put on a spectacular color show when leaves turn this year. A spell of dry weather means the leaves will probably turn yellow and light orange but not deep red. "We need moisture in the ground to see good fall colors," said certified arborist Tom Jack.

Extreme poverty, along with the problems it causes, is probably the worst ongoing disaster in the world today. It has many and complicated causes, including war, corruption, trade policies, debt, climate, disease and famine. Many of these are themselves by-products of poverty, creating a vicious cycle.
Of the 7.15 billion people alive:
- 702.1 million live on less than USD 1.90 per day.[1]
- 663 million lack clean drinking water.[2]
- 793 million people are undernourished.[3]
- 100 million children don't complete primary schooling.[4]
- 781 million adults cannot read or write.[5]
- 3 million children will die each year from preventable diseases.[5]
What we can do
The scale of poverty is immense, and it is easy to think that we in the developed world are powerless to do anything about it. However, the facts tell a very different story.
Official estimates from the United Nations 2013 Human Development Report show just how unequally split the spending, income and health figures are for countries around the world:
- Military spending worldwide exceeded $1.4 trillion in 2010, more than the GDP of the world's 50 poorest countries combined.
- Average gross national income (GNI) per capita in very high HDI countries is more than 20 times that in low HDI countries.
- Life expectancy in very high HDI countries is a third higher than in low HDI countries. In 2010, the global under five mortality rate was 55 deaths per 1,000 live births, though spread unevenly across HDI groups. Low HDI countries had the highest rate (110 deaths per 1,000 live births) followed by the medium HDI countries (42), high HDI countries (18 deaths) and very high HDI countries (6 deaths).
These figures show just how unequal the global distribution of wealth still is.
What you can do: effective giving
Maybe you don't give much to charity, but feel like you should. Maybe you've been put off by scare stories (often accurate) about donations going to waste due to political corruption or poor planning. Or maybe you haven't thought much about what your donations could achieve.
If any of this applies to you, our message is simple: It's good to give generously, but it's just as important to give effectively. The difference in effectiveness - the good done per dollar donated - between different charities can be startling.
For an example of the difference that effectiveness can make, suppose we want to help people suffering from blindness:
- In a developed country this would usually involve paying to train a guide dog and its new owner, which costs around $40,000.
- In the developing world there are more than a million people suffering from trachoma-induced blindness and poor vision which could be helped by a safe eye operation, costing only about $100 and preventing 1-30 years of blindness and another 1-30 years of low vision, according to Givewell.org
- For the same amount of money as training one guide dog, we could instead prevent 400-12000 years of blindness.
And there are even more effective ways to give, which can transform the lives of hundreds of people. If a typical US citizen gave 10% of his or her income to the right NGOs, then every year they could:
- Distribute 700 mosquito nets, preventing 190 cases of malaria and 2.2 deaths, or
- Treat 7,100 people for neglected tropical diseases.
Over the course of a lifetime we could leave an incredible legacy of diseases prevented or cured, and lives extended. We can do all of this without leaving our countries, without changing our careers, and within our means.
Taking action
At Giving What We Can we feel that given these facts, we are obliged to do something about extreme poverty. That's why we've each made a public pledge to give at least 10% of our incomes to the charities we believe will do the most good in the world. Whatever our incomes, we will all have a tremendous effect on thousands of lives.
If you're ready to start help saving lives, you can join us today by committing to give 10% of your income to effective charities (1% of the spending money for students and people who have little or no income). If you're not ready for that, sign up with us to Try Giving, which allows you to choose how much of your income to give, and for how long.

"What is the diameter of the jars?"
Please note the size of these little beauties prior to ordering. They are not large, but are a very nice size that will fit into a variety of spaces. I have mine on a buffet in my great room/kitchen and I fill them with snacks and candy. The jars are quite beautiful and have a very nice shape. They are very different than your typical pottery barn or target jars. They look very expensive and have turned out to be an excellent purchase for me. The glass is gorgeously formed and elegant. They would also look great in a bathroom to hold cotton balls and other supplies.......I may have to order another set....

Attractive, traditional and function
Attractive, traditional and functional countertop (covered) jars. I use them now to store 3 different nut types. A much healthier snack than cookies! The nuts "seem to vanish" during each day. The storage jars are not overly large and will fit anywhere. My biggest problem was removing the remnant packing tape on a portion of the jars. Overall, pleased with them.Read More

Looking for movie tickets? Enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing Bananas near you.
One of Woody Allen's earlier, more slapstick-oriented efforts, Bananas tells the story of Fielding Mellish (Allen), a neurotic New Yorker who follows the object of his affections, Nancy (Louise Lasser), to the fictional Central American country of San Marcos, where she is involved in a revolution. Nancy wants nothing to do with Fielding, but he soon becomes a guest of the country's dictator (Carlos Montalban), before accidentally becoming the leader of San Marcos himself. Fielding is eventually shipped back to the US and tried as a subversive, but being that this is a comedy, and an especially light one at that, everything works out in the end. A far cry from Allen's later, more somber films, Bananas still works as an often hilarious amalgam of sight gags, one-liners, and bizarre asides. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Update! Done deal! Sheen will star in "Anger Management", a TV spin-off of the Nicholson/Sandler flick. No takers yet, as far as networks go, but it'll likely be snapped up soon enough. Can't help but wish Sheen was starring in a TV series based on one of Sandler's other films though – not the mucky "Anger Management" – like, say.. "Billy Madison".
"Welcome Back to Grade 1, Charlie".
"Say, after the bell rings, can I come back here and ring your bell miss?"
There's been all sorts of scuttlebut about Charlie Sheen fronting a new TV show next year (now that he's been given the heave-ho from "Two and-a-Half Men" and with dad Marty likely not opening up his wallet the Sheenster's going to need to seek out a new revenue stream) but as of now the only thing the wild warrior's got on the cards is a Celebrity Roast (he's being roasted), which will air on Comedy Central the same night that Ashton Kutcher makes his debut as Sheen's replacement on "Two and-a-Half Men".
Deadline, adding fuel to the likelihood that Sheen will return to full-time TV sooner-or-later, says moviemmaker Joe Roth wants Sheen to star in a TV spin-off of the Jack Nicholson/Adam Sandler movie "Anger Management.
The show isn't anywhere near a sure thing, but the idea has likely been floated to Sheen – particuarly as Roth and Sheen have worked together in the past (on "The Three Musketeers", "Major League" and "Young Guns") and likely have kept in touch over the years.
"Anger Management" (2003) told of businessman, played by Adam Sandler, who is wrongly sentenced to an anger-management program, where he meets an aggressive instructor, played with fiery relish by Jack Nicholson.
Sheen would, one assumes (based on his current persona), play the Nicholson role.
Again, just an idea. No need to set the TiVo yet.
