Lela Rose
It's a brand new era for designer Lela Rose as she gives us a new take on glamour, a new sexy edge and new gorgeous, multi-faceted fabrics and textures.
Previewing her collection was as easy as a walk in the park, which by the way, all of her dresses were charmingly named after this season. We'll start with Central Park for obvious reasons. The park is literally an oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bustle in the world. The dress is a simple oasis-like mermaid with an incredibly intense filigree and crystal embroidered tulle overlay gown layered on top. How fitting, the ideal melding of a quiet respite layered into the intricacies of an exquisite top-to-toe cloud.
Bryant Park sits in mid-town Manhattan, on the outer edge of the city's Garment Center and once home to the industry's Fashion Week tented show mania. It's behind the spectacular New York Public Library and sits right at the helm of 42nd Street. This park is in the middle of it all. The dress is the perfect middle-ground in the collection. It's a tenacious asymmetric mermaid, with cleverly designed on and off tulle straps. It's sexy, but calm without the flourish of beading. Intellectual, quirky, modern.
Gramercy Park is definitely the most exclusive park in the city. It happens to be the only gated park where you actually need a key to get in. Residents who live surrounding the park are the lucky key-masters to Gramercy. But once you are in, you are treated to a luxurious, downtown park in the middle of some of the city's toniest townhouses. The dress is the embodiment of Gramercy. Its sleek trumpet shape heralds a youthful silhouette, the body of Leavers lace gives a hint of tradition while the chic, off the shoulder sheer illusion neckline keeps it sexy and new.
We love Rose's adventurous new narrative on wedding fashion as she expands her repertoire and gives us all a bird's-eye view of just how inspiring this city really is when all you have to do is look.

Tenth Presbyterian Church—the tenth Presbyterian church founded in Philadelphia—began in 1829 on the northeast corner of 12th and Walnut Streets.
About 25 years later, 1855–56, Tenth started a daughter church at 17th and Spruce in order to meet the needs of the expanding city. The building for the new West Spruce Street Presbyterian Church was designed by John McArthur (Philadelphia's City Hall architect) and constructed in 1857.
Nearly 40 years later, in 1893, the original church closed, sold its building, and merged with the daughter church. The newly combined churches then took on the original church's name, Tenth Presbyterian Church.
In 1893, when the old Tenth merged with the West Spruce Street church, the latter totally redesigned the interior with architect Frank Miles Day, who used Byzantine decoration. Much of his work remains in our current building. You can find more information here, or you can contact us to arrange a tour (or just drop in during business hours and we will do our best).
Our stability for nearly 200 years is owed, by God's grace, to the long pastorates of the five "B's":
- Henry Augustus Boardman, 1833–1876 (43 years)
- William Pratt Breed, 1856–1889 (33 years)
- Marcus A. Brownson, 1897–1924 (27 years)
- Donald Grey Barnhouse, 1927–1960 (33 years)
- James Montgomery Boice, 1968–2000 (32 years)
- Dr. Liam Goligher, our current senior minister, succeeds Dr. Phillip Graham Ryken, now President of Wheaton College in Illinois.
We are a church of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a young denomination founded in 1973. Tenth joined with the PCA in 1982, consistent with our alignment to historical Presbyterian tradition and beliefs.

Tobruk Diaries: Questions, 'furphies' and rumours
Monday 2 May 2011 by carwal. 1 comment
1941, Tobruk, Tobruk diaries, Exhibition, Second World War, Tobruk, 2/4 AGH
Bryant's Diary: Friday 2nd May 1941
Artillery could be heard all day as the battle continues. It appears as if the [G]ermans have captured 14 outer perimeter posts, but have not penetrated beyond them. Some big German planes came extremely low today bombing and machine gunning, but three and possibly four were brought down by S.A.A fire. Fred Legge of "C" Coy was killed accidentally today by an Italian hand grenade.
Cosgriff's Diary: Friday 2nd May 1941
Up...from midnight...2/48 and 2/24 advanced and got into a trap – plenty of casualties – not able to spare time for Mass. Conlon...and his M.O. here for breakfast in panic – 5 mins to leave and escaped through shell fire – bad morning for us all but things improved during morning and casualties lessened. No Jerrys over but no sight of R.A.F. – got us all tricked. Jerry should be here all day. Artillery going hard all the time and rocking the place... Dust-storm today probably saved us from bombers. One at 7 pm but probably Eyeties – too high for Jerrys.
Bryant's Diary: Saturday 3rd May 1941
Very heavy artillery fire could be heard all morning and it sounded like ours. The Hun aircraft left us alone today. I wonder why? The weather today is on the cold side and there is no doubt about Libyan weather- it is never the same for two days on end. About 10 o'clock tonight our artillery began to fire and there was one continuous roar until well into the early morning. It seems that we conducted a counter-attack against the Jerry.
Bryant's Diary: Sunday 4th May 1941
Today was reasonably quiet. The counter-attack last night was conducted by two A.I.F. battalions, which recaptured two posts and though the enemy are still inside outer defences the commanders seem very pleased with the position. It is believed that the Germans lost a lot of men. We had two air-raids at dusk, but such a terrific barrage was put up that the planes in the second attack couldn't come down to bomb their objective. We move again tonight to relieve the 2/13th Bn. Our company is the reserve company.
Cosgriff's Diary: Sunday 4th May 1941
Last night's attack horrible failure. 9th and 12th Battalions in it and wounded came in at 11 pm. No sleep – an air raid at 5:30 – three on road near hospital SB full of wounded – not many for me. Rang Chas Daly to say Tobruk Masses for me but he could only say ten. I did mine. Casualties dropped off about 10 am. Slept in afternoon. Air-raid at 6:30 – again near hospital – Ship for wounded hit – only 200 went. MDS bombed – looks like reprisal for no prisoners yesterday. Commander Green described Marsh as bloody butcher. To bed early – more of mine dead.
Bryant's Diary: Monday 5th May 1941
It was a very quiet day today. My section with Lieut. Trebeck are to go on a fighting patrol tonight. We left the road block on El Adem road at about 9:30. We had only travelled 500 yards when machine guns and a mortar opened up across our front. They were using explosive bullets. We could also hear a truck on the road and I thought we were certain to have a scrap. We followed the road for 1500 yards in all and wheeled left. We hadn't gone far when we heard two distinct noises very much like human sound, but after having a close look, found nothing. We went in this new direction for 3500 yards to mounds of earth which was our objective. We discovered that there were three wells (one dry) were in the centre, but there were no signs of Germans having used them. We travelled a further 1500 yards to reach our front line. We were guided in by this post firing verey lights. We arrived dead on 2 o'clock in the morning.
Cosgriff's Diary: Monday 5th May 1941
Quiet night – no bombs or casualties. News of 7 Div coming for Sollum – sounds like a furphy. Wrote home yesterday and J. McGlynn today. Thos Turer burnt out x ray today – screening. Patrick Pitt – shot down by 4 ME – escaped with legs. At C.C.S. this arvo – beaut air shelter. Raid here while I was away – 4 bombs on hospital and more exploded – miracle – hit power-house. 9th attacking again this evening – casualties coming after tea. Jerry is through the outer defence in a wedge shape bulge – like France. Most troops pretty depressed since hospital attacks and it looks as if they are after us...
Cosgriff's Diary: Tuesday 6th May 1941
Three at Mass today. Terrific dust storm all day until 2 pm. Never seen worse. Kept Jerry away. No light since power station was blown yesterday. Norley rigging lights in M.J room. SB working with torches. Hospital full and nowhere to put patients today – Kennedy. Wrote to Elsa today and Jas McGlynn yesterday. One more battalion here – 32 Bn – rumour of two more but no truth in it. Scarfe here but have not seen him yet. Moon becoming full and expecting night raids. No siren now and a-a one guide. Still no air force but nothing much left to bomb.
Cosgriff's Diary: Wednesday 7th May 1941
Up early because of raids. Mass of BVM. No casualties last night 717 patients in hospital. Tobruk mews elite appears even if power is off. Severe raid on dumps this morning – easily 30 planes. Bert Watson in today – very confident about trip to Benghasi (sic). Severe raid again this arvo on harbour – 40 planes with fighter escort. Sunk mine –sweeper. Maltese patients excellent Catholics. Air Force seen this evening - 1 Hurricane. Apparent Jerry will not allow any more ships into this harbour until we get 100 heavies. Birthday party of Zynnor Scholes and Braithwaite. D'arcy...to come...if OK with his C.O. No dust today.
Cosgriff's Diary: Thursday 8th May 1941
Mass of Dead. Awakened late. Boys of Town Guard at Mass. Steele and Dick Searle in here yesterday. Dick says no news at Mersa of force coming to relieve us here. Evacuation planned for tonight by destroyer. Quiet in the air today. No mail for a week and no supplies from Tim. Saw Eyetie machine for making breads and it is only a Hongs. John Aitken off trench digging and translating Eyetie documents now. C.O. stands out and abuses the dashers to the shelter. Shelters hung erected in front of each ward.

Good Day, I work for a Humanitarian Mine Action Org, currently clearing UXO in the Tobruk area, in particular an ammo site which Govt forces blew up to deny use by rebel forces. With two colleagues we visited the Cemetary, which is just 2km north of our site. It is still very beautiful, one of the most moving CWGs I have visited, particularly as it is relatively cut off from the rest of the world. Fred Pavey EOD Operator DCA HMA Libya 23 May 2011

Does Pedals the bear need help? - Interview with wildlife rehabilitator Tracy Leaver of Woodlands Wildlife Refuge (YouTube, 7/19/16)
Many people encounter what appear to be sick, injured or orphaned wildlife. The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife urges New Jerseyans to leave young wildlife undisturbed. Every year, especially during the spring and early summer, the lives of many young animals are disrupted. Well-intentioned people may attempt to 'save' these animals, and more often than not, the mother is nearby.
Young rabbits found at a nest site do not need to be rescued. The mother rabbit will not return as long as a person is standing near the nest site. If you've kicked open a nest, just replace the top of the nest, and leave. The mother will return and care for the young. Cottontail rabbits leave their young for hours while eating, but they do return to nurse the young, until the young are old enough to survive on their own. Young rabbits are ready to leave the nest at three to four weeks of age when their eyes are open and their bodies are furry.
Young birds are sometimes found on the ground near a nest. When this happens, the best thing to do is to put the bird carefully back into the nest. Don't worry about getting your scent on the bird; it will not affect the mother's care. If you can't reach the nest, leave the bird on the ground. Every bird alive today has spent a few precarious days on the ground while learning to fly. The best thing you can do during this time of year to protect young wildlife is to keep cats indoors.
When young raccoons are found out alone, it is likely they are merely exploring and their mother is nearby. They are probably old enough to be fully capable of climbing back up a tree to their den. If they were too young to climb, the mother would carry them back.
If you find a young fawn laying alone, leave it there. The mother comes back several times each day to nurse the fawn. If you've already picked the fawn up and brought it home - put it back. Even one or two days after removal from the wild, fawns have been successfully reunited with their mothers, by returning them to the place where they were found. Adult deer spend much of the day feeding and loafing. Fawns that are not strong enough on their legs to keep up with the adults are left behind. Usually young fawns are quite safe because their color pattern and lack of scent help them to remain undetected until their mother's return.
Intended acts of kindness often have the opposite effect. Instead of being left to learn how to find food, young animals taken from the wild will be denied their natural learning experiences. They often become attached to their caregivers and no longer survive in the wild. In addition, nearly all wild birds and mammals are protected under the law and may not be legally kept as pets. Only when they are found injured or with their dead mother is there reason to do something and only under these circumstances can an animal be transferred to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.
Those who encounter such a situation should consult the List of NJ Wildlife Rehabilitators for the nearest wildlife rehabilitation center.

First Timer, Questions about Range
I just bought my first gun a Glock G17 and while I was talking to the gunshop guy he mentioned that there were no good ranges nearby, so the thought occured to me "Why not start one!"
So here is the land setup: 20 acres square with 3 sides open and the back facing very dense woods with the nearest house about a mile from the back. I read that the NRA wants at least 12' berms so that wouldn't be a problem but would the acreage be enough for all types of guns or just short range. I guess what I am wanting to know is what would you look for when you go to a range and any ideas that you can give me as to how to set it up. If any of you know the requirements for starting a range as far as legal standards or insurance and such. I figured that asking a huge amount of gun owners what they like when they go to the range would be the best start to my quest, and now that I am getting into this myself it could benefit everybody. Any ideas? |

If I remember coorectly there was a good enough range in the Branson area. I lived in in NW AR about 13 years ago but went up there for some IPSC.
Good luck but I would highly advise visiting a couple ranges first before making the investment you are thinking about.

The NRA website has information on standards for building a shooting range.
There are a lot more things to creating a range than just having the land and 12-foot berms.

Give the NRA a call. They have people who can advise you on the feasibility of developing a range on your property. |

The World Cup final. If you're English, you probably lost interest two weeks ago. If you're Irish, about two months ago. If you're Scottish... you do the math. At Silverstone, the best of British to Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.
Another incongruous pre-season friendly, but it could be tasty as Quorn meet (or should that be meat?) Crewe.
If you fancy a pint in London, you're out of luck. Most of the capital's barmen are at Lord's cheering on Australia in a neutral Test with Pakistan. In footy friendlies, how many will Cammell Laird ship against Tranmere? Elsewhere, the Munster XI entertain Sunderland – I guess Herman is up front while Grandpa flies down the wing for the Munsters.
Typical Britain. We build up Mark Cavendish... then slag him if he fails to win every stage. We laud Bradley Wiggins... then pan him if he struggles to climb a col. We should be ashamed.
The Open at St Andrews. Tiger Woods' jet should get him there on time. If not, maybe his son Charlie – the world's No 1 15-month-old – can play.
The Champions' League draw. But only the third qualifying round, i.e. before "big guns" like Spurs come into play.
More friendlies. I hope Corby press against Northampton, Forres Mechanics throw a spanner in the works against Inverness, and San Jose Earthquakes spot the cracks in Tottenham's defence.

NEW YORK - Gold prices trekked higher yesterday, touching a record $975 an ounce as high oil prices and a falling dollar pointed investors to the relative safety of precious metals.
Gold traditionally is considered a safe haven from inflation and economic uncertainty because it's known for holding its value.
Gold rose nearly 32 percent in 2007 and has gained more than 13 percent so far this year.
Gold for April delivery added $6.50 to settle at $967.50 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In aftermarket trading, the contract rose to a record $975 an ounce, within striking distance of the psychologically important $1,000 mark.
Other precious metals also rose. Silver for March delivery added 43 cents to settle at $19.640 an ounce after rising to a 28-year high of $19.845. Nymex copper surged to a record $3.8965 a pound before easing back to settle at $3.8635 a pound, still up 2.55 cents.
The dollar's steep decline against the 15-nation euro has been a major driver behind gold's advance from less than $650 an ounce in January 2007. The dollar traded lower Thursday versus the euro, which fetched $1.5215.

Robert B. Turner Elementary students in first through fifth grade hosted an art fair on March 29.
Art teacher Tracey Birdwhistell said students worked on pieces for 2-3 weeks before they were ready to be displayed. "I like it because it makes them feel like a professional, like an artist," Birdwhistell said.
With the help of company Kids Art Fairs, students had artworks framed and ready to be sold to friends and family. The school received a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the students' artwork, Birdwhistell said.

Brown University Prof. Barrett Hazeltine responds to an audience member Saturday, April 27, 2013 during a lecture on Google and China. More photos
For more than 50 years, Prof. Barrett Hazeltine has been engaging students at Brown University and around the world.
LinkWashington China Chamber of Commerce Members of the Washington China Chamber of Commerce, the Seattle branch of the Brown University Alumni Club and others were drawn into Hazeltine's world Saturday, April 27 at Shoreline Community College. Hazeltine, Professor of Engineering Emeritus at Brown, was there to speak about his case study, "Google and the Government of China: A Case Study in Cross-Cultural Negotiation."
As he took off his jacket, grabbed a felt marker and strode to a flip chart, it was evident that class was in session.
"Am I getting to you? Am I making sense?" he asked the audience after literally illustrating a fundamental point about the balance of power in a business negotiation.
As the lecture focused on the particulars of the ongoing dance between Google and China, Hazeltine began asking more specific questions. Often, he got specific answers from Brown alums and Chamber members whose careers gave them a close perspective on the Google/China issue. When a student, rather, audience member got it right, Hazeltine walked over and offered a passing grade in the form of a handshake.
Hazeltine's underlying message was that cultural awareness and sensitivity are critical to being successful in the globalized markets.
During a question-and-answer period after the presentation Chamber President Mark Wen reinforced Hazeltine's premise. "Relationship building comes first in China," said Wen, who was born in China, but now lives and works in Washington. "By the time you get to the negotiating table, the deal is already done."
Shoreline President Lee Lambert and International Education Director Diana Sampson are Chamber members.

He has provided fruits and grains and vegetables for our sustenance. For us He makes the sun to shine and the rain to fall. The whole human family, good and evil, are constantly drawing from Gods storehouse. It makes every difference with those so highly privileged how they receive the Lords gifts and how they treat the contract the Lord has made with them. He has made them His almoners, directing them to draw from His storehouse, and then make a return to Him in gifts and offerings, that there may be meat in mine house.

Except for Rasmussen.
Huh? How can we prove that?
Here are the latest polls for Virginia:
1. The race is supposed to be as tied as it can be, with Obama holding a 0.3-point lead in the RCP average.
2. All the polls but Rasmussen show Obama tied or ahead.
3. Virginia has 13 electoral college votes, more than Wisconsin's 10, Minnesota's 10, Iowa's 6, Colorado's 9, and almost as many as Ohio's 18.
Now if these polls were accurate, wouldn't Romney and Obama be camped out in Virginia? 13 electoral college votes in a tied state!
And yet, if you look at the president's schedule, for instance, you'd think he'd never heard of Virginia, even though it's just a short drive from his house.
So the campaigns are saying, with all their internal polling, their precise measurement of early voting, and so on, that Virginia is not as close as, say, Wisconsin, Ohio, or Pennsylvania.
So does that mean Virginia leans Romney? Or does it mean it leans Obama?
Well, here's a clue: The campaigns are spending all their time in Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Pennsylvania, which have RCP averages of Obama + 2.9, Obama +4.2, Obama +3, and Obama +3.9. In other words, the campaigns believe these states could go either way, unlike Virginia.
So there you have it, right from the campaigns: The polls are systematically overstating Obama's advantage in key states. And Rasmussen, all alone over there, is right.
Now call! And vote!

Feeding Strategies for Overweight Cats
Previously we discussed the complications of feeding the overweight cat, especially in the multi-cat setting. Today I would like to offer strategies for the single and multi-cat households.
We need to thank Dr. Mark Brady for his contribution to Practical Weight Management in Dogs and Cats, by Dr. Todd Towell, for the core of these ideas.
The Single Cat Household
The overweight cat with an ideal body weight of 10 pounds needs about 200-225 calories (kcal) per day. The calorie needs for cats with smaller or larger ideal weights is:
(30 x Ideal Weight (lbs.) ÷ 2.2) + 70 = Calories (kcal) per day
(Reminder: Consult your vet before starting any weight loss program.)
A possible strategy for owners who work at home or are able to be with their cats all day is to offer 6-7 scheduled feedings of 30-35 calories of canned food, dry food, or a combination. An easier strategy is to feed two scheduled feedings of 30-35 calories and place the remaining 140-150 calories in four feeding stations, food balls or food puzzles throughout the house or apartment. Locations that require climbing or effort are ideal. This encourages burning energy to obtain food (the modern version of "the hunt").
Canned or wet food scheduled meals and dry food feeding stations also work well. A third strategy is to place all of the daily calories in food stations for free feeding.
If offering treats is an essential part of the daily routine, the number of calories in the treats needs to be subtracted from the scheduled feedings and calorie counts from the feeding stations.
This strategy requires a kitchen gram scale in order to accurately dispense scheduled feeding and food station allotments. The energy content of the food, wet or dry, must be known. If it is not on the container label it can be found on the company website; it is the kcal/kg for the food.
The daily food requirement is then determined by the formula:
Daily Calories ÷ kcal/kg) x 1000 = grams fed per day
The total number of grams is evenly distributed among the scheduled meals and feed stations. Using cans and cups to measure portions is not as accurate. Accuracy is important for weight loss.
The Multi-Cat Household
The actual strategies for multiple cats are the same as above. The difference is the total calorie count for the household, which is calculated and then divided between scheduled feedings and food stations. The calorie requirement for overweight cats or overweight prone cats is the same as above:
(30 x Ideal Weight (lbs.) ÷ 2.2) + 70 = kcal per day
For normal weight, less active cats use the formula:
[(30 X Weight (lbs.) ÷ 2.2) + 70] x 1.2 = kcal per day
For active or unneutered cats the formula is:
[(30 x Weight (lbs.) ÷ 2.2) + 70] x 1.5 = kcal per day
The daily calorie requirements for all cats are totaled. One-quarter to one-third of the total calories are divided between two scheduled feedings. The remaining calories are divided evenly among feeding stations.
Allow a minimum of 2-3 more stations than the total number of cats. The quantity (in grams) of food is calculated with the same formula used for single cat households.
In a 3-cat home
1 13lb overweight cat with an ideal wt. of 10lbs
1 normal 10lb less active cat
1 very active 10lb cat
Overweight cat:
(30 x 10 2.2) + 70 = 206 kcal/day
Less active cat:
[(30 x 10 2.2) + 70] x 1.2 = 247 kcal/day
Active cat:
[(30 x 10 2.2) + 70] x 1.5 = 309 kcal/day
Total Daily Calories = 762 kcal/day
One-third of the 762 kcal (228 kcal) is divided between two meals (114 kcal). So at each feeding, each cat gets about 38 calories (114 ÷ 3). The remaining 534 calories are divided among seven feeding stations; each station will contain about 75 calories.
I must admit that these strategies are more successful for prevention of obesity or stabilizing existing household weights. Weight loss, if achieved at all, is a slow, long process, and owners lose their enthusiasm for the strategy over time. Single cat households experience the most success. Prevention is definitely the best solution for the cat.
What strategies have been successful for you?

I've always wondered about a kitty having some extra weight so they have something to lose if/when they got sick.
That actually worked to his advantage when Winston got lymphocytic lymphoma and he didn't do well with the first chemo protocol. He had a really rough couple of weeks at the beginning, but bounced back. If he hadn't had a "reserve" I'm not sure he would have bounced back when the protocol was changed.
The same was true for Darlene who had a myriad of problems. She wasn't horribly overweight, but had some "reserve" that served her well when her problems began.
Of course, we'll never know if the extra weight or diet was a factor in their health problems. -
I have 6 cats and several were overweight. I have gotten all but one to lose weight by simply eliminating dry food and using only grain-free canned, which doesn't have to be anything expensive, the Fancy Feast Classic varieties work fine, though I also use some Wellness, Before Grain and BFF. 2 others that weren't overweight but had gained a pound in the year between vet visits so were heading in that direction both lost the extra pound and are now at ideal weight.
Wow, thanks, Dr. Tudor.
In your first post about feeding cats, I dismissed the idea of 6-7 feedings per day as not possible for me, since I'm at work all day long.
But this post has got me thinking how I CAN make that happen for my cat, as well as make his day more entertaining.
I have some detective work to do, though, as the brand of ground raw food that I feed does not list calories on the packaging or the website.
Dr. Tudor, when I view my cat from directly above, his body condition appears very good. However, when viewed from the side, he has fur/skin/fat(?) which hangs down maybe 1.5". Is this just flat out excess weight, or is it normal "sagging" for the aging cat (he's 13)? My vet feels that his weight is good. I would say that he is slightly less than "moderately" active.
I do have a question about multiple feedings per day.
From a reputable cat book I read quite some time ago, it said that food should not be left out for cats ... something about when they smell food it triggers a whole chain of metabolic reactions that puts a lot of needless stress on the cat's physiology.
That is why I've never free-fed, and fed twice per day. This makes me a bit nervous to leave multiple meals stashed around the house.
Also, I've done this when I've been away for an overnight trip. My experience with it is that my cat starts finding and eating ALL the food at one sitting. He has no problem eating a lot of food at once!
What are your thoughts about this, Dr. Tudor?
You have some great insights and questions. I hope my answers are as good.
First about BCS scores. As you noted they are from the top and the side. The hind end dew lap that you describe is not an uncommon location for some cats to store their fat reserves. As long as he has an "hour glass" profile from above and easily felt ribs, I would agree with your veterinarian.
Secondly, your difficulty with data on raw diets is not exceptional. I know I will offend many, but the way these diets are measured in %'s rather than actual gram measurements makes it impossible to analyze their nutritional balance and calorie count against USDA nutrition databases. I formulate homemade diets on a daily basis and the amount, the cut of meat and the other ingredients all factor into calorie counts and nutritional balance. Excessive liver can even cause vitamin toxicosis. You simply can not throw what appears to be a natural prey combination together and expect it to be balanced without mathematical verification. If it is not measured it is not verified. That doesn't mean a raw diet can not be balanced. They just must be more exactly measured and adequately supplemented.
Thirdly, the hormonal, metabolic and behavioral aspects of hunger and eating in cats are yet to be completely understood and there is no compelling scientific evidence to support the claims you received from the cat book you read. Cats are not frenzy feeders like dogs. They hunt, they eat, they sleep. Sometimes up to 18 hours daily even in the wild. However, many of our modern domesticated feline friends show more ravenous behavior and eat everything in sight and they need scheduled feedings. Your approach is actually great for the chow hounds,er chow cats. As long as they are getting adequate nutrition the time frame is not important. I only offered the strategy in today's post for the majority of cats that are grazers and prefer smaller and more numerous meals.
Every pet, like every human, is an individual whose circumstances are different. My blog is merely trying to broadly cover the subject with the scientific knowledge of my research so you understand the underlying issues. They may or may not be applicable for your pet's situation but you know the general principles. I have no philosophical agenda, I just simply want to help owners help their pets achieve optimum weight and the extra years of quality life it provides.
Dr. T -
Thanks, Dr. Tudor! More interesting "food for thought."

Mini Lasers With Megapower To Burn
Do you want to get rid of freckles or clear up age spots? No problem--if your dermatologist has a laser the size of a two-drawer filing cabinet. Now, these and other big medical and industrial lasers can be crammed into much smaller boxes, thanks to Paradigm Laser Inc., a startup in East Rochester, N.Y. Using its lasers, Lihtan Technologies Inc. in San Anselmo, Calif., has already unveiled a microwave-oven-size system.
Paradigm's trick? Necklaces of pinhead-size laser diodes around the main laser, a rod made of garnet crystal. Normally, light from diodes is too weak to activate laser rods. That limits "diode-pumped" lasers to a few watts of power. But Paradigm rings each half-inch of the rod with a 70-diode array. The result: An inch-long laser emits 100 watts, enough for surgery. A 3-inch, 2,000-watt laser easily cuts steel.

Lessons from Allison part 1(Revised)
Fiction, Incest
Author's infos
Gender: male Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Wed 17th of August 2011
Sorry about that last one, didn't mean to post it. Enjoy :)
My sister Alison is six years older than me and a total fox. Every summer I can remember boys from all across our neighborhood would gather at our poolside to fawn over her gorgeous bikini-clad body. I know a lot of people think it's weird to think of their sister like that, but I've never had any shame about it. As far as I was concerned, she was just like any other girl, though much hotter than most.
To this day I can remember the greatest dream I have ever had as though it was last night. I was about eleven or so and I dreamed that I was lying in my bed and Alison appeared in my door. She was dressed in a short, revealing white nighty and staring at me with a naughty little smile on her face. "I thought I'd drop in to say goodnight," she said. Then she sauntered toward my bed. She planted her lips onto mine and then looked into my eyes with that same devilish smile. "I love you Greggy," and then began kissing down the length of my body, pausing above my boxers. "Let me show you just how much."
When I woke up a moment later I was in a pool of sweat and jizz. From that day on, whenever I jacked it Alison's face was in the back of my mind. When I was 13 she moved away to college and I was left alone with just my parents. Saturday was their "date night," leaving me with the run of the house and ample opportunity to indulge in my porn habit. They'd go out for a movie, dinner, and a few drinks and I'd plug in one of my favorites in the rec room and go to work on myself.
The routine worked, for the most part, like clockwork.
One weekend my parents decided to take a trip to the Poconos, and left the house at my disposal for two whole days. That first night I seized my opportunity and went all out. I busted open a bag of chips, some dip, two magazines from my stash, and a box of tissues. Then I plugged in my favorite movie: "Taboo 2." It's about a guy who's trying to have sex with his sister. By the end, everyone in their family has pretty much fucked everyone else. It's a classic of early 80's smut.
I sprawled out on the rec room couch and unzipped my fly or easy access and began to absorb the movie. I wasn't in any hurry since, as far as I knew, the house would be empty all night. I didn't want to rush my enjoyment. Twenty minutes in I began to feel my pants tighten. I started running my hand above my crotch, feeling myself grow.
My fingers had just begun to probe into my fly when I heard it: a muffled giggle followed by "Hi yah, Greggy!" My blood went cold. My hand shot out of my pants and rocketed to my knees. "Allie?" "I guess you didn't realize I was coming home." She was grinning at me wickedly. She stood at the top of the stairs that lead into the rec room with a duffle bag by her feet. She was dressed in a white shirt, that revealed much of her ample C-cup bosom, and tight jeans that cut off at the knee. Her brown hair was cut shorter than the last time I had seen her and fell just below her ears.
Meanwhile all the blood that a second ago had been engorging my cock was now rushing to my face. "Wh- wha- what are you doing here?" I stammered. "Not having as much fun as you apparently," she teased. "I'm on break. What, aren't you glad to see me?" She started down the steps. "No, no! It's just, um, oh my god!" I was as flustered as I have ever been. "Calm down, Greggy, it's not like it's the first porno I've ever seen. Looks like you have good taste." I was confused now. She didn't seem angry. She didn't even seem embarrassed. As far as I could tell, she was just amused. "I, uh, huh?" She walked over next to the couch and looked at the screen on which the movie was still playing. "It's one of the Taboos, isn't it?" "Well, yeah, it is." She walked around to the front of the couch now, still looking at the screen. Even in my confusion I still found my eyes glued to her body. "This was one of my faves when I was around your age. I just loved the forbiddance of it, you know? The idea of a mother fucking her son, a daughter fucking her father," She sat down next to me and looked over at me smiling her devilish smile, "a brother fucking his sister. Know what I mean?" "Yeah, I do, that's why I like it." "When I was your age I thought I was going to set a record for jilling off to this," she said giggling. I was dumbstruck.
I couldn't believe I was having this conversation and I was loving every second of it. When she glanced over at me again, she must have seen my amazement because she laughed again and said, "Yes, Greggy, girls get horny and play with themselves too, even your sister. So do you mind if I watch with you?" Was she kidding? Of course I didn't mind! With the combination of the movie and this conversation I began to notice myself growing again. All I could bring myself to do was violently shake my head and stammer out, "No, not at all." We sat in silence as the movie played on. Allie kept throwing funny looks at me.
I meanwhile was paying half attention to the movie and half to her rack. I noticed her fiddling with her breasts over her shirt. She seemed to cup them lightly and draw circles over them with her fingers. She wasn't blatantly playing with them, but it was obvious enough. My hard-on was raging now. I was trying to hide it, but not very hard. I wasn't the only one getting excited. I could see the hard tips of her nipples jutting out through her shirt.
She must have caught a glimpse of me peeking over at her because she turned to face me and, placing her head upon her fist, said, "Well, Greggy, your pants seem to be tightening. Is it the movie or is it all the staring at my tits you've been doing?" I smiled shyly, looked from the TV to her, and said, "a little of both, I'd say." "Aw, that's so sweet!" She leaned over and ruffled my hair and stroked my cheek. "I always knew you had a crush on me. It's nice to know you still think your big sister is hot." "Are you kidding?! Allie, you're the hottest girl on the planet!" She laughed. "Oh, Greg, you're so cute. Those junior high girls must go crazy over you." I shrugged and looked away. "So Greggy, tell me, have you ever done anything like that with a girl?" She pointed to the screen where the son was in the process of licking his mother's crotch. Sheepishly, I shook my head. "Nothing?" I shrugged, "Well, I've Frenched a bunch and I've felt a girl up before, but it was through her hoody." "Aw! You poor thing." She slid closer to me now and pet my cheek sympathetically. I felt a rush of excited anticipation welling inside of me. "Girls your age don't know what they're missing. When I was their age, my blow jobs were legendary. I guess they're all teases nowadays." I shrugged and nodded.
My cock was barely inside my pants now and I made no attempt to hide it. "Well, Greggy, you're a teen now, that's a good age to learn about sex. Do you want to?" I nodded frantically, "Yeah, I want to a lot!" She smiled warmly at me. She picked up the remote and hit the stop button. "Well, then, for starters," her fingers slid beneath the bottom of her shirt and a moment later her shirt was on the couch revealing two luscious, creamy tits topped by small pink nipples. "I'm not wearing a hoody, Greggy." My jaw was in my lap. A mammoth grin spread across my face and I laughed nervously. "You like those?" she said. "Here," she took my hand and began guiding it to her chest. "It's all right, it feels good when they're touched." My fingers spread across her breast. She sighed slightly, "mmm, play with them all you like; we have all night and this should be fun." I took her advice. My fingers explored her breasts cupping them, squeezing them lightly, delicately pinching her nipples, and tracing circles around them. All the while she stroked my unkempt hair, cooing softly in relaxed pleasure. I got bold and pinched her nipples harder. She took a deep breath and moaned ever so slightly. I loosened my grip.
"Is that good?" I asked. "Mmm, yeah, that feels good, Greggy. I'm getting, mmm, all hot and wet. Do you like this?" I nodded childishly. She giggled a bit, "Good. Do you want to suck them? A lot of girls like to have them licked and nibbled and sucked." "Really?" "Mmm hmm. And you used to like it a lot, too. When I was a little girl, I watched mom breast feeding you when you were just a baby and you certainly seemed to like it them," she grinned at me and tapped on my lips playfully with her fingers. I grinned back and leaned forward taking her nipple between my lips.
I suckled gently on it as my fingers played with the other one. "Mmm, that's good. Do that harder." I did as she told. I rolled my tongue around her nipples, bit them lightly as she smiled approvingly at me and complimented my technique. Allison's fingers slid down my back and under my shirt and she pulled it off of me. I played with her tits for about ten minutes and would have kept right on doing so if Allie hadn't placed her hand on my bare chest and gently pushed me back. "You learn fast," she said sounding proud. She rose up and stood in front of me. Her breasts, moist and pale, seemed to glisten in the half light of the room. She smiled at me and caressed my cheek. Her hands glided down her bare skin to the rim of her pants. "You ready to learn some more?" she asked in a hushed and seductive tone. I nodded eagerly.
"All right then," she laughed. Her fingers worked on the button at the front of her jeans. She hesitated a moment, building the anticipation. Her smile widened as the cutoffs fell. "Maybe I should have warned you that I wasn't wearing underwear. I hope you don't mind, Greggy." I stared at her, beaming wordlessly. I silently took in the spectacle of her nude form. Her pubic hair was trimmed neatly around the slit of her puss, which seemed to be growing moist. She raised her arms slightly and began to turn around slowly to give me a full view of her body. "I hope you're taking notes, Greggy," she teased. Finally I blurted out, "Oh my God, Allison, you're so gorgeous!" She blushed and put her hand to her mouth. "Oh, Greg," she sat down next to me and placed her arm around me. She had her legs spread wide revealing herself. I must have been staring between her legs because she put two fingers beneath my chin and brought my gaze back to her eyes.
"So Greggy, how much do you know about down here?" Her free hand glided over her crotch delicately. This stumped me for a moment. Breasts were simple, but all I knew of what was between a girl's legs was elementary at best. All I knew was what I had picked up from porn, health class, and from a small circle of friends. I shook my head and sheepishly said, "Not much." "That's all right," she cooed sympathetically, still gently petting herself. "We'll start with the basics. Do you know what this is called?" I rolled my eyes. "Yes, Allie, it's a vagina, I'm not an idiot." She laughed playfully. "All right, smarty pants. But we aren't in school so there's no need to be so clinical. You can call it a pussy or a vag." I nodded obediently, "All right, it's your vag." With her free hand she took mine and steered it slowly between her thighs. "Here," she said softly as she placed my hand on her womanhood. I could feel the warmth and moisture of her lips. Her smile widened. "Feel how wet I am? That's what happens to girls when they get turned on. Like how you get a hard-on."
Her eyes shifted to my crotch where my erect dick was waving proudly out of my fly. "Do you know what the clit is, Greggy?" "I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is." She moved my hand aside and spread her pussy lips slightly. Then she indicated a dark nub of pink flesh right above the opening of her vadge. "There it is," she said. Then, as if suddenly seized by an irresistable urge, she grabbed my hand again and positioned my fingers on her clit. "mm, yeah, just keep playing with it like that, Greggy." She released my hand. I caressed her slowly up and down. She began breathing heavily again. "Harder," she demanded in a breathy voice. I rubbed her more vigorously, feeling it grow harder and throb beneath my fingers. "ooh!" she exclaimed. I stopped. "Is that right?" She moaned, "Mm, yeah! Don't stop!" She was panting. Without hesitation I went back to work with the same gusto. I began to improvise, alternating speeds and circling her clit with my finger. All the while she squeezed me tighter and put her free hand up to her forehead. "ooh, oh god! Shit that feels good! You're a, uh, natural Greggy! Mmmh."
I was emboldened by her praise and pulled her into me kissing her wildly. She returned that kiss, her eyes clenched shut and her face contorted in pleasure as I played on her clit. After a few minutes she broke off the kiss. "Oh god! Greggy, would you lick me?' Her voice was breathy. I just nodded obligingly and shifted off the couch. I'd seen this in movies a lot and had always been eager to try it. She spread her legs wider. I positioned myself between her knees and looked up at her, waiting for instruction. Quickly she spread the lips of her vadge further to give me a better view. "Just run your tongue on it Greggy. Up and down and around. You'll know if you're doing it right, trust me." I leaned in and as I got closer I smelled the sweet, salty scent of her juices. My tongue slowly ran the length of her slit all the way up to her clit. I pressed down hard, going up and down. I gained speed and wrapped my lips around it, sucking lightly, while my tongue went up and down. "Uh! Oh fuck! Greggy put you fingers inside of me while you do that, ooh!" Two fingers slid into her pussy one at a time and began pulsing in and out. "harder, Greggy! Mmm, rub the top of my vadge back and forth. Ah! Yeah, that's the spot!" Her hands disappeared inside my hair and shoved my face deeper into her crotch. She was moaning loudly and breathing fast. Her hands ran the locks of my hair and Allison's body began to writhe as my tongue and fingers continued their assault on her body.
Suddenly I felt a rush of warm moisture inside her pussy and she began moaning louder still. "Oh, Gaawd! I'm fucking cumming! It feels so good!" I intensified, using my free hand to hold her in place while I sucked on her clitoris. Finally she grabbed the sides of my head and pushed me back. Her mouth was hanging open as she stared at me, panting. "Jesus Christ, Greggy! You're a talent, that was amazing!" I smiled up at her smugly, "I owe it to a great teacher." "Aww!" She took my hands and pulled me to my feet. "You have more to learn, Greggy, and I'd love to be your teacher if you'd have me." I beamed down at her and stroked her cheek. "You are the greatest big sister in the world, Allie! There's no one on earth I'd rather have teach me about sex."
She hugged my waist tight. Then her hands slid to the front on my pants. She began to unbuckle my belt and unclasp the button of my jeans. That's when she looked up at me and said it. "I love you, Greggy," and then my pants and boxers fell to the floor, "let me show you just how much."

Author: Ryan Frye
In 1901 in San Francisco, California, tag team wrestling was introduced for the first time. The hope was that this new concept would improve the quality of sports entertainment, and that it did. Since that time, it has become one of the primary staples of the business. There's no telling where professional wrestling would be today without tag team wrestling.
However, at some point, almost all tag teams break-up in order for the two wrestlers to branch off into singles competition. Often times, one of the members will go onto have a successful singles career, while the other fades away into obscurity; solidifying them as the weak link of their former team.
Today begins a series where I will take a look at the weak links of some of the greatest tag teams of all-time, and why they didn't have the same success as their partner did. First up is the weak link of The Rockers, or the "Jannetty" of The Rockers; Marty Jannetty.
Marty Jannetty began his wrestling career in the Kansas City territory of the National Wrestling Alliance. As part of the Uptown Boys tag team with Tommy Rogers, he'd have a lengthy feud against a team called The Grapplers and even hoist tag team gold. He'd become the TV Champion, and after Rogers' departure from the company, the world champion on two occasions. His career looked very promising when he was teamed with another young, high-flying star; Shawn Michaels. Their team was called the Midnight Rockers.
Michaels and Jannetty would hold the Central State Tag Team Championships, before moving onto the American Wrestling Alliance and holding those tag titles twice. But with the AWA crumbling around them, the Midnight Rockers decided to accept Vince McMahon Jr.'s offer to jump ship to the flourishing WWF.
The Rockers quickly established themselves as something different in the WWF. In a world of giants who did very little, Michaels and Jannetty were much smaller in stature, but much more exciting inside the ring. Acrobatic one moment, technical the next. Whatever style you wanted to see, Michaels and Jannetty could give it to you.
I looked at Shawn and Marty and thought they're good workers and good wrestlers. And I was interested in them coming in because being a tag team—me and Neidhart were the tag champs when they arrived—we really needed a new, fresh team. And when I saw them, I was really keen on them coming in, and getting a chance to work with us." -Bret Hart
However, with the glory came its pitfalls. And Michaels and Jannetty both would struggle with excessive partying and drugs. For that, they were released by the WWF in 1987 and would wrestle in both the CWA and the AWA before being re-signed by the WWF in 1988.
"Marty and I were two young guys having the greatest thing in the world happen to us; coming to the WWE and even prior to that. I mean gosh we were two young guys enjoying life and being in this line of work. It was certainly a reputation that was well-earned, but the one thing that was our saving grace was that Marty and I were pretty darn good in the ring." -Shawn Michaels on The Rockers Backstage Reputation
Their second stint in the WWF is when they would truly shine. Despite never officially winning the tag team titles, the team now just known as The Rockers would have classic battles with teams such as The Brain Busters and The Hart Foundation. They would begin to change the way the upper-management of the company viewed smaller wrestlers and just how far they could go. In fact, The Rockers and The Hart Foundation would main event many shows during this time, while Hulk Hogan and other world title contenders would go to their hotel room for room service.
In 1990, though, The Rockers would hit a major roadblock. Marty Jannetty more specifically, as he would break an opponent's neck when hitting his finishing Rocker Dropper move incorrectly. That opponent, Charles Austin, would sue Jannetty, Michaels and the WWF, and was awarded nearly 27 million dollars. Although not of immediate harm to Jannetty, this would come back to haunt him in more ways than just in the bank account.
In 1991—after many backstage disputes—Michaels and Jannetty would appear on Brutus Beefcake's Barber Shop talk show. After calling The Rockers "the tightest team in the World Wrestling Federation," Shawn Michaels would shock the wrestling world by super kicking Jannetty and promptly smashing his face through Beefcake's barber shop window.
From here, despite all his personal shortcomings during a large portion of his career, Shawn Michaels would become one of the greatest and most decorated in-ring performers in WWE history. Three-time WWF/E Champion. One-time World Heavyweight Champion. 2-time Royal Rumble winner. Member of D-Generation-X—which some consider to be the greatest stable in wrestling history. And oh yeah, a Hall of Famer. These are just a few of the accolades Shawn Michaels holds to his prestigious name. But, for Marty Jannetty, things didn't go so swell.
The plans for a Jannetty/Michaels feud would be halted early on when Jannetty's personal problems—that already had gotten him released once—spiraled out of control again. He would be released for the second time by the WWF in March of 1992.
Later in the year, another chance in the WWF would result in another failed opportunity. He'd return to challenge Shawn Michaels to a match for his Intercontinental Championship at the 1993 Royal Rumble. He'd lose the match due to interference, and soon be released for the low quality of the match. At the time, Michaels claimed it was because Jannetty had been on drugs and partying again, but Jannetty retorted that it was simply due to a lack of sleep.
In May, Jannetty was signed by the WWF for a fourth time. He'd again challenge his former Rockers teammate for the Intercontinental Championship, and finally successfully do so on an edition of Monday Night Raw. Still yet, the WWF had seemingly lost all faith in Jannetty by this point. He'd lose the Intercontinental Championship in a matter of weeks to Michaels thanks to the interference of Michaels' bodyguard Diesel.
Jannetty would later explain that Curt Henning convinced Vince McMahon to bring him back, and he was given the title only as a punishment to Michaels for the lackluster Royal Rumble match that McMahon now blamed him for, and cover up to follow. It was never McMahon's intent to actually push Jannetty.
Jannetty would feud with Doink the Clown after the confusing sequence of matches with Michaels, whom he would beat in a two-out-of-three falls match to conclude the rivalry. Next, he'd form a team with rising star 1-2-3 Kid, after they were the sole survivors of their Survivor Series team. They'd win the tag team championships, but much like Jannetty's Intercontinental Championship reign, their reign with the gold would be brief. They'd lose the tag titles a week after winning them at a house show. The highlights of the match were shown at the 1994 Royal Rumble. What a year for Marty, huh?
This is where Jannetty's in-ring incident with Charles Austin would haunt him. The case would brought forward, and Jannetty would suddenly vanish from the WWF. While there's never been confirmation that this was the reason for his departure, nobody has ever denied it either.
After a short time spent in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) as a contender to "The Franchise" Shane Douglas' ECW Championship, Jannetty would wrestle on the independent scene before being re-signed to the WWF. This would serve as his fourth return to the company, and fifth stint overall.
Even though Michaels had turned into a beloved face by this point, Jannetty would team with Razor Ramon in a feud with Sycho Sid and the now heel 1-2-3 Kid. After this feud ended, Jannetty would turn heel himself and form "The New Rockers" with Leif Cassidy. This team quickly stagnated however, and Jannetty would leave the WWF in 1996.
He'd float around ECW, WCW and even spend a couple more short stints in the now-WWE in the early 2000s, but he still didn't stick with any of the promotions. Today, he wrestles on the independent scene, most recently spending time in CHIKARA and UWA Elite.

El DeBarge, Whitney Houston: Singer Wasn't Right Days Before Death
Whitney Houston's death over the weekend (Feb. 11) shocked friends, family and fans alike, but for singer El DeBarge, losing the legend was doubly painful. DeBarge and Houston saw each other days before her death, when they both attended a pre-Grammy party for Kelly Price.
"She was in my arms a few nights ago," DeBarge tells The BoomBox on the Grammy red carpet Sunday (Feb. 12). Houston took the stage to sing with Price, and was later photographed outside of the venue looking disheveled.
Throughout the week, the 48-year-old had been seen out and about, and when she ran into DeBarge, he could tell that something wasn't right. "She was telling me, 'I miss you El' and we started crying together. She wanted to talk to me about her addiction, I could tell she did, and we just didn't get our chance to."
Houston also asked Debarge to collaborate with her on new music, before going their separate ways for the night.
Like Houston, DeBarge has battled addiction in the public eye. Over the past decade, the father of 12 has made more headlines for his legal woes than his music. In 2008, he was sentenced to two years in federal prison after violating his probation by possessing crack and drug paraphernalia. After earning his freedom, the 50-year-old made his return to music by way of the Grammy-nominated album, 'Second Chance,' released in 2010.
"My 'Second Chance' album is all about everybody that wants, and is looking for, a second chance, and I just don't know if she [Houston] had that," he shares.
Almost a year ago on Valentine's Day, DeBarge checked into a rehab facility. However, he now appears to have a grip on sobriety. "Drugs are a very strong, outside aggression," says the entertainer, who was nominated for a Grammy in the Best R&B Album category at Sunday's ceremony. "That's what it is. It attacks leadership and it just attacks things and it gives you a challenge that you really don't want to have but you have to be strong and we all have the strength. I thank [former Geffen Records Chairman] Ron Fair for teaching me that."
As previously reported, Houston was found dead inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel Saturday afternoon. An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday, and according to TMZ, Houston's body has been released to her mother, Cissy, who will fly with her back to Atlanta. Toxicology reports are expected to take several weeks to determine her true cause of death, but sources close to Houston told the site that she may have died form a deadly cocktail of Xanax and alcohol.

Carson Daly Engaged to Girlfriend Siri Pinter
By Us Weekly
New gig, new fiancee! Carson Daly is engaged to his longtime girlfriend Siri Pinter, a source reveals to Us Weekly. The couple of six years sparked rumors of a possible engagement when Pinter was spotted wearing a diamond ring -- on that finger! -- during a Los Angeles outing with the "The Voice" host on Saturday, Oct. 5.
PHOTOS: Best celeb engagement rings of all time!
Daly, 40, and food blogger Pinter already have two children together, son Jack, 3, and daughter Etta, 13 months. The couple welcomed their latest addition to the family in September 2012.
PHOTOS: TODAY shows most memorable moments!
"Tonight at 5:15pm we welcomed the latest addition to our family. Etta Jones Daly weighs 8lbs and is beautiful!" Daly tweeted at the time. "Mom was a rockstar, Jackson James is a proud big bro, and dad's drinking a cold one. Praise God."
The engagement is yet another big transition for the former MTV VJ. Just last month, Daly joined "Today" as the face of the new Orange Room. The new area will be used for Social Media to connect viewers in a more tech-savvy environment. Daly will simultaneously continue his hosting duties on "The Voice."
"I grew up watching all of these guys [on "Today"]. Being a guest on the show was fun and then filling in was surreal," he previously told Us shortly before the Orange Room reveal. "[This is] the real pinch me stuff."

Steve: Isn't Star Beast's Sharon a black companion as well?

Steve: So – when is Mr Davies going to get families right? Martha is a terrific character so it shows he can pull off individuals, but the creaking stereotype of her father is beyond belief. Basic caricature!
Gaz: Funny thing is, I just felt myself not caring either way. I'm just not sure it was strictly necessary for the plot to introduce the family straight away – especially as compared to Rose's family there seems to be a lot of issues to deal with, such as mid-life crises and adultery, the anger of a spurned wife, kids acting more adult than their parents, young men coping with unexpectedly becoming fathers. I just don't see how you can deal with all these issues over a season when over half of your airtime is in the past, future or off-world.
Steve: That is a lot to get through – too much! Sounds like the writer is setting up material for a couple of years then. Is this safety net necessary, though? I can see the validity of some home life to give the way-out plots a human balance for the audience but this seems overcooked.
Gaz: Personally, I wouldn't have thought so. As you say – it seems a bit of overkill. Personally, I'm surprised that one of Martha's aunties wasn't scheduled to have a wisdom tooth out in the hospital just as it zips off to the moon just to heighten the tension.
Steve: But then it would have been called "Tooth and Claw 2". Good work from the special effects gurus this time out. The spaceships were fantastic and the hospital on the moon well-realised. Did you notice how the Judoon had an easy time walking through the no-grav lunar surface? Bet NASA wouldn't mind some of that Rhino tech. Surprising how well the power stayed on the hospital too – that's a damn good back up generator they've got.
Gaz: The visuals did look the part to be fair and they certainly made sure all the money was up there on the screen so to speak. Which is funny, as in many aspects the episode was a low budget affair, especially the motorcycle courier heavies and menacing old dear with straw. I hadn't thought about the Judoon not being weightless though. Morris Barry would have had 'em straight on the Kirby Wire – no mistake. Perhaps they're a little heavier than us earthlings?
Steve: I agree with you about the cost-saving – they basically ran around a hospital for 45 minutes with a few exterior reminder shots and, hey presto, you give the illusion of constant off-world action on a budget. I see Murray Gold is up to his old tricks of quality and quantity – it's like creating finely detailed carvings and then giving them a splash of paint with the thickest brush from his garage. Didn't think much of his sub-Terminator shash for the Slabs, although his Martha theme is pleasing, if not as good or emotive as Rose's theme. But then it may be grower and in the end less sentimental.
Gaz: Y'know; I don't really remember much of the music now to mention it, although the Martha theme is a lot more thoughtful and simple.
Steve: Overall I'm pleased to see a better introduction than previous series, but the true test will come when we see if the audience take to Martha in the same way they did for Rose. Can't see the ratings holding at 9 million every week, that's for sure, despite the fact that RTD seasons seem to improve (more-or-less) as they go along.
Gaz: I think it's fair to say it's just a little more ordinary by the fact it's on every year. Overall though, it's not a bad opener and a decent little jumping off point for any new viewer which can't be a bad thing. Be interesting to see if the Daleks have the same impact 4th time round…
Steve: I'm happy to give this one a 3 beer rating, what do you think mate? It ain't no classic, it's far too vacuous for that, but as an action runaround created mainly for the kids, it more or less fulfils its remit.
Gaz: I'd agree with three foaming treats for this solid, entertaining little piece of telly which, whilst heavy on the action and none too taxing on the mind, managed to pass 50 minutes pleasantly enough. Some good dialogue, nice set pieces with the hospital lift and Judoon moon-walk and a promising opener for Martha Jones. Wonder what comic strip he'll remake next?
