For everyone who does lots of vacuum sealing, compare FoodSaver GameSaver models to discover what they can do and which one is right for you.
Editor's Note: The older, original "FoodSaver GameSaver Deluxe" is not included in this review because it has been discontinued. For the time being that model is still available from Amazon. You can see it on Amazon here, or read our review of the Deluxe model here.
Overview of the GameSaver Line
The GameSaver line is designed specifically for outdoorsmen who package lots of fish and game, often in large batches. The focus is on prolonged operation without overheating. This is shown in the chart below under "Consecutive Seals".
The manufacturer recommends that you wait 20 seconds between each seal. Once you reach the consecutive seal limit you allow 20 minutes for the machine to cool down before you resume processing.
Those longer running times also make these models a good choice for gardeners at harvest time, shoppers who like to buy in bulk to take advantage of sales, and anyone else who plans on prolonged periods of vacuum sealing.
An added benefit is versatility. All of the GameSaver models include an accessory port and hose for external sealing. That makes these machines compatible with FoodSaver's jar sealers and other storage containers, which are all sold separately.
The chart below provides specifications and details so you can compare FoodSaver GameSaver models side by side.

Average Customer Rating – Since the GameSaver model line is relatively new, owner feedback is still rather limited. Most of the averages shown in the chart are based on fewer than online reviews. That doesn't mean the numbers are inaccurate, just that the sampling pool is quite small and something to keep in mind.
Does FoodSaver Make Other Vacuum Sealers?
Absolutely! From high end to inexpensive handhelds, see lots more choices here:

Vinyl Sales Shatter Last Year's Record
As the momentum with vinyl sales continues to only grow, the real question we're all asking ourselves is whether or not vinyl will hit a critical mass and become a mainstream format, once again.
It is the opinion and observation of the Record Collector's Guild that every 15 years or so, the music industry needs a new format to turn to. Music is such an emotional aspect of our culture, and often being "cool" means doing something that not everyone is doing, and music is no different. Are ipods still cool? Not if everyone is doing it. Convenient, sure, but not cool.
Could we be seeing a hockey stick moment for vinyl?
It sounds ridiculous. Your mom and dad would laugh at you and call you crazy. But if you look at the chart, the jump between 2013 and 2014 was massive. If we see even larger jumps in the next few years, this growth could go exponential.
Vinyl could literally become the next ipod.
And why shouldn't it? The sound quality is leaps and bounds above most digital. And the inconvenience of it, the physical presence of it, the tactile browsability of it, all make vinyl incredibly cool in a convenience-driven digital ethereal world.
What say you?

Product Spotlight
How CNET reviews productsGo behind the scenes to learn how CNET determines its product ratings.
^B00:00:00 >> CNET reviews are one of the most widely used resources on the Net for helping consumers decide what products they should buy, but a lot goes into our reviews process. Many of you have written and asked us how do we do all this? I'm Tom Merritt from CNET TV, and I'll be your guide as we go behind the scenes of CNET reviews. Now, it all starts with an editor. There's one in here. This one's called Kent German. ^M00:00:22 [ Music ] ^M00:00:26 He's gonna be our representative editor, as we show you how this works. Wonder if he knows that. Hey, Kent. >> Hi Tom. >> We're gonna follow one product through the process. What have you got for us, there, representative reviewer Kent? >> Well, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G. It's T-Mobile's second Android phone. >> So, how do you get a product like this? >> We have relationships with the carriers and the manufacturers, and we talk about what phones are coming out. We follow what they're expected to release. And for instance, for this phone, we've known about it for quite a while. So we just go ahead and tell T-Mobile, "I really want a review model of the myTouch." And when one becomes available, they send it right to us. >> And then you just to keep all of them, right? >> No, have to send them back. All of the phones that we get, and we review, we do send back. >> Okay, and now you're ready to start the review process. How does that kick off? >> Well, the first step is the phone is photographed. So I think about what kind of shots I want, what kind of photos. So photos from the front, photos from the back, maybe showing details like the camera lens here and maybe these buttons down on the bottom, what's really gonna be helpful to the users. The phone is photographed, and then all those photos end up, actually, on a new review. >> Now, besides photos, we also have videos. How does that work? >> All the phones that we review, we shoot video, a First Look. That's really designed to help our users see the phone in action, see me talking about it, see how it looks in my hand, see me interacting with it. It just gives them a different perspective than what's offered in the review. So all that's done within the first couple days of getting the product and done for all phones that we get. >> So you get the photos, you do the video, then what? You sit down, you knock out a quick blog post in, like, 10 minutes, right? >> No. What I do is I actually sit down, play with the device for a while. Go through it, look at the menus, think about what's inside, play with the different features like video, music. Of course, test the call quality. Look at the keyboard, if there's one, if it's easy to type messages, if it's not, all of those details that are really gonna be important to users. Think about those, and then I sit down, write the review, including all of those details. >> Now, there's also CNET Labs. How do they fit into this process? >> Well, Labs comes in at the end of the process, but first, before then, is I actually hand the phone to Nicole Lee, who's my colleague. ^M00:02:27 Hi, Nicole. ^M00:02:28 She tests the battery life. And that's the talk time battery life. So she hooks up the phone, makes a call, and just see how long the phone will last. After she's done, for some phones -- and I will do it for this phone because it's a multimedia phone -- CNET labs will test the music battery life, so that's for the music player, sometimes the video battery life, sometimes the browser battery life. >> Now, a lot of times a review will go up before that testing is done. Why is that? >> That's because battery testing can take a while. Talk time testing can take about a day, and the labs testing can take a lot longer, and we don't want to hold up our reviews for our users. So we don't want to have them wait two weeks until a product -- after a product comes out to really get the review. We want to have everything up there, and then we'll come back in, and we'll add the battery life later. >> If a product is good enough, a lot of times we'll give it an Editor's Choice rating. How do you determine what products actually get an Editor's Choice? >> Well, a product gets an Editor's Choice, really, two criteria. One, it has to be very good. It has to good -- pretty good at everything it does. It doesn't have to be 100 percent perfect because really, no such product exist, at least I think. But it has to be very good, and it has to be really game changing. It has to change the landscape of the sector that it's in. So a phone has to really come along that offers something completely new, a new way of looking at phones possibly, just something that we haven't seen before, and also different than most other phones we've seen. >> Kent German, thanks for being our good example. >> Sure. ^M00:03:49 [ Music ] >> So there you have it. A similar process goes into our laptops, MP3 players, monitors, literally thousands of products moving through the CNET labs here. I hope that answers some of your questions. It gives you a little hint at all the hard work that goes into making sure you have the best product information you can at your fingertips. I'm Tom Merritt, CNET.com. ^M00:04:09 [ Music ]

Lucas County voters approved a renewal for a levy that provides jobs creation programs and a replacement and new millage for the agency that serves the developmentally disabled.
The 0.4-mill, five-year levy to fund operations of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority passed by a wide margin.
The issue, which costs the owner of real estate valued at $100,000 an annual $6.60, raises $2.1 million for the port authority.
Its assessment basis has gone unchanged since 1994, with three renewals since then.
The agency uses levy funds primarily for facilities improvements, often as the local match for state and federal grants, and for its community economic development program.
RELATED CONTENT: Full election results
Recent projects undertaken with levy money include acquisition and cleanup of the former Jeep factory site in central Toledo and the cleanup and construction of a new bulk-materials terminal on the former Gulf Oil refinery in East Toledo.
The largest countywide levy sought on Tuesday's ballot was for the Lucas County Developmental Disabilities board, and it passed by a substantial vote.
The tax issue before voters asked for replacement of existing levies of 0.3 and 0.5 mills that are based on property values from 1958 and 1973, respectively, and an additional 1-mill. It will bring in $10.3 million annually, a net increase of nearly 80 percent over the existing two levies.
The levy will boost a taxpayer's annual tax payment from $6.67 to $63 per $100,000 of property valuation.
The agency said the additional tax and replacements are needed because tax revenue has fallen to 2008 levels because of declining property valuations and elimination of the state rollback on taxes.
However, the board had seen a nearly 30 percent increase in demand for services, and the waiting list for residential services has gone from 4,200 to nearly 5,000 over the last five years.
Board Superintendent John Trunk said the new tax dollars will address the agency's growing needs in the future while providing resources for job training and programs for current users.
"This creates some great opportunities for us to address our residential waiting list, which was our primary focus in our campaign," Mr. Trunk said. "Those on the list are adults living with aging parents who will need residential help in the future.
"Individuals who are currently in our system were at risk for not getting prompt, quality service had this levy not passed."

COLUMBIA, Mo. (Missouri Football App) -- We're five games into the 2012 college football season and Mizzou's schedule is something to consider.
Mizzou is 3-2 this season and are ranked near the top of having one of the toughest schedules in the nation. According to the NCAA and the Sagarin rankings, Mizzou has the 3rd-toughest schedule in 2012. When considering the FBS teams Mizzou's played thus far, Georgia, Arizona State, South Carolina and Central Florida are 13-1.
Additionally, Mizzou plays every game in October in the friendly confines of home-stadium Faurot Field. What's weird is how the opponents arrive in Columbia. Mizzou played Central Florida September 29, play Vanderbilt Saturday and will play Alabama on October 13. All three of these teams played and will play Mizzou after coming off a week without a game.
These teams played and will play Mizzou with a little less than two-weeks of rest, whereas Mizzou's played five games in five straight weeks. Despite having a significantly less amount of rest than these opponents, fatigue is something the coaches need to consider.
"I would love to have 2 weeks to prepare for every team we play – ideally we would," said head coach Gary Pinkel. "If you have a bye, it's good, but if you don't, you don't really think about it because it doesn't really matter. Bottom line is we don't have it, and I really don't think about it much. I don't talk to our players about it and it doesn't change anything we do. Bottom line, we gotta still go out and play – and win."
Most fans knew entering the Southeastern Conference would bring a difficult schedule and it's hard to judge how Mizzou will fit in after just five-weeks into the season. Mizzou looks to get its first-ever win as a member of the SEC on Saturday against Vanderbilt at 2:30 p.m.

Abraaj Group announces investment in Uganda's biggest pharmacy chain
The Abraaj Group, one of the world's leading private equity investors in global growth markets has announced an investment in Vine Pharmaceuticals, the largest pharmacy retail chain in Uganda. This investment was made through Abraaj's subsidiary, the Africa Health Fund, and marks the fund's first foray into the pharmaceutical retail and distribution sector. Though Abraaj's representatives declined to reveal the size of the investment of the terms of the deal, the new fund injection is expected to help Vine in actualizing its expansion plans and increasing its share in Uganda's fast growing pharmaceutical market. According to Abraaj's press statement, expenditure in Uganda's pharmaceutical industry is growing at a CAGR of 13 percent and forecast to increase from the $268 million spent in 2011 to $545 million by 2014.
Vine Pharmaceuticals was founded in 1999 by Grace Munyirwa, one of Uganda's more renowned entrepreneurs. Within its 14 years, the company has grown to become Uganda's largest pharmacy retailer, with 21 stores, a thriving pharmaceutical import outfit and staff strength of close to 100 people. With the new funds, Vine is expected to extend its branch network outside Kampala, while building the capacity of its wholesale distribution business serving clinics, hospitals and other pharmacies.
Commenting on the investment, Shakir Merali, Partner of The Abraaj Group, said, "Vine will be an important beneficiary of the continued growth in pharmaceutical expenditure in Uganda through both its retail and wholesale businesses."
Grace Munyirwa, Founder of Vine Pharmaceuticals, said: "I am proud of the work our team has done to take Vine to its leading position in the Ugandan market, and I am looking forward to taking the business to the next level with Abraaj's support."
The Africa Health Fund was founded n June 2009 with investments from the International Finance Corporation, The African Development Bank, DEG, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Fund aims to provide low-income Africans with access to affordable, high quality health services and investors with strong long-term financial returns.

What match between V according to frequency and V according to memory?
Latest Updated:03/01/2005
(Electrical Characteristics) What is the correlation between the following power-supply Vcc specifications: voltage according to operating frequency (Ex: 2.7V to 5.5V when f(XIN)< 8.4MHz) and voltage according to internal memory type (Ex: 4.0V to 5.5V for Flash MCUs)? In these examples, does the voltage for the Flash Memory version have to be 4.0V to 5.5V all the time, or only during flash memory programming, being operational at 2.7V in MCU mode? [2005/03/01]
In these examples, the Flash Memory version has to operate at 4.0V to 5.5V all the time. It will not operate at 2.7V. The datasheet and user's manual are written based on the Mask version, and when there is a specification difference between that and other versions, it is indicated in the following manner: "For Flash version, 4.0V to 5.5V." Accordingly, in the above examples, the Mask version operates at 2.7V to 5.5V when f(XIN)<8.4MHz, but the Flash version only operates at 4.0V to 5.5V. (#104895)

Keywords: Microfluidics, Lattice Boltzmann, Convection-Diffusion, Scaling, Simulations
Abstract:Recent literature has demonstrated the possibilities of using configurable surfaces to enhance
the flow of fluids in MEMS devices. Not only are surface properties important in fluid delivery,
the inherent problems of mixing by diffusion in microfluidic laminar flow needs to be over come
to provide more efficient fluidics for bio-sensors. While investigating the use of synthetic jets
for fluid mixing in MEMS devices, it was necessary to compute both the fluid flow and
concentration fields. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has been used to compute the flow
field data. The micro formulation of LBM was supplemented with a macro-scale, finite difference
formulation of the convection-diffusion equation. While this seems easy enough, it became
apparent that the main issue with this hybrid approach is proper scaling of the grid spacing and
time increment. This work presents the results of the hybrid method as applied to Re<150 flows
concentrating on the microfluidic regime of Re<10. The computation method uses algorithms
which have been compared to results found in the literature, and provides simulations showing
the effects of grid size and time increment scaling.

Matthew Simmonds ventilator death 'not gross failure'
A terminally-ill man died the day he left hospital because two nurses had failed to ensure his ventilator was turned on, a coroner has said.
Matthew Simmonds, 39, of Chandlers Ford, suffered from von Hippel-Lindau disease - a genetic form of cancer - and had returned home on 6 July 2011.
His air supply was interrupted when the agency nurses changed his ventilator.
At the inquest in Winchester, coroner Graham Short said the nurses' mistakes did not amount to "gross failure".
During the inquest, the court heard that Mr Simmonds' condition resulted in tumours on his spine and brain.
He was receiving palliative care, was unable to move or talk and relied on a ventilator to breathe.
The court was told his ventilator needed swapping every day but, during the first handover between Kadiatu Harris and Fauzia Rust, his air supply was interrupted.
In delivering his narrative verdict, Mr Short said there had been a failure by the two nurses to ensure the second ventilator was turned on and a failure by the second nurse to check the patient was alright after it was swapped.
But, he said, the errors did not amount to gross failure, which would be necessary for a case of neglect.
He added that the nurses paid too much attention to the handover and not to the observations of the patient, they did not work as a proper team and a shared desire to hand over quickly.
Speaking after the hearing, Mr Simmonds' mother, Zandra, said: "We all make mistakes but that was one that should never have been made."

The Characters:
Tall Man - Some tall guy that seems to be the ringleader of all the shenanigans that have been going on. He can also change gender at will.
BOOOOOOOYYY!!! (Michael) - A kid whose parents are dead; his older brother looks after him.
Older brother (Jody) - An older brother.
Reggie - Ice cream man and friend of the family.
Silver orbs of DOOM - This movie's saving grace.
The Plot:
Before I saw this movie, I had heard nothing but good things about it. Everyone that I asked about it said it was great. Everyone was wrong. Near the beginning of the movie, a kid is spying on a funeral and sees some weird things and mouths quietly, "What the f**k?" That boy's words can pretty much sum up this movie. In fact, I'd be the one saying those words had I not fallen asleep while I was watching it. I've seen this movie twice now, and that's 4 times more than I should have seen it. This movie made about as much sense as that last sentence.
I'm going to make an attempt to explain the plot of "Phantasm." Key words there are "make an attempt." It starts out with these sexually aggravated humans fornicating in a cemetery. After the man thanks his girl for a good time, she stabs him in the chest and transforms into a tall, balding man. The next day, there is a funeral in that same cemetery for the departed man, and it turns out the tall bald guy/woman thing works at the mortuary! Later, that boy that I mentioned earlier sees the tall man pick up the casket all by himself, where as usually it takes about four people to lift it. The kid panics and goes to some psychic old lady and her creepy granddaughter to tell them what happened. After he leaves, the grandma laughs at him, probably because she knows that that kid will never act in another movie again after this piece of trash.
That night, the boy's older brother meets the tall man at a bar, but he's in his sexy lady form, so they decide to go do the nasty. Can you guess where? I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with "cemetery". The Boy follows them to watch his big brother in action. What little brother wouldn't want to see his older brother's junk? While he's hiding in the bushes, a freaky brown cloaked creature growls at him so the boy jumps out of the bushes and runs by his brother and the lady, screaming. As you can imagine, older brother won't be playing "hide the weasel" tonight, so he's less than happy. He chases his brother down and tells him to go home. The boy goes to bed, but soon realizes that his bed is in the middle of the cemetery and a bunch of zombies drag him off of his bed while the Tall Man watches. The next morning, the boy walks around town while enjoying a lollypop. Oh, what's that? You want to know why he's not zombie chow anymore? Good question. I'd like to know myself, actually.
That night, the boy decides to break into the mortuary and snoop around to try and figure out what's going on. While he's in there, he gets attacked by this flying silver orb. It chases him around for a while until it hits one of the Tall Man's henchmen instead. It sticks into his forehead with these small knife things and then drills a hole into him. Then, a hole appears on the back of the orb thing and it starts shooting out all of the guy's head blood. This part is actually pretty cool, but I still have no idea what the thing is or why it's there. After the guy's dead body falls to the ground, the boy turns around only to see the Tall Man about 15 feet away, staring at him. They walk toward each other slowly, as if they were going to hug, then the music gets loud and the boy runs away as the Tall Man chases him. The boy get into a closet with a metal door and locks it, so he thinks he's safe, but he looks to his left and the Tall Man's fingers are stuck in the door. The boy decides to chop them off. At this point, mustard sprays out of the Tall Man's finger-stumps. The kid is safe, until a freaky hooded-creature attacks him! He escapes thru a window and runs home.
What just happened was the climax of the movie. All the most interesting things happened right there. Whoever wrote this movie must've thought it would be cool or revolutionary to put the best part of the movie at the halfway point. So just letting you know, it's all downhill from here, not that it was very far up any hill to begin with.
The boy goes home and tells his brother what happened, and he doesn't believe him until he is shown a severed finger in a box with mustard all over it. He responds to this by saying in the calmest voice ever, "Ok. I believe you." Later, they decide to go show this to the police. The boy goes to his room to get the box with the finger in it, but he notices something different about it. He opens it up, and there's not a severed finger in it anymore, but instead a little bug thing that flies around and sounds like a dying lawnmower. They catch the thing and throw it in the garbage disposal. With their evidence now gone, the brothers decide to go check out the mortuary. While they're there they get attacked by another short hooded thing. Seriously, George Lucas should sue and use the money to make better Star Wars prequels. The thing looks like it should be selling stolen droids and cruising around the dunes of Tatooine in a sand-crawler. Anyway, they leave the mortuary and get in their car only to be chased by another car which appears to be driverless. The older brother shoots the car's engine and it crashes into a tree. They go to take a look and it turns out there was indeed a driver, and the driver was the guy who got stabbed by the Tall Man/lady in the beginning of the movie!
After a few more hooded-creature attacks, the brothers and their friend Reggie go to the mortuary one last time to put a stop to all of the freaky stuff that's been going on. They open a door that leads to a room that has a bunch of hydrogen tanks in it, and there's also two poles sticking out of the floor. While the two older guys are looking around, the boy goes in between the two poles and slips into another dimension. This place is a desert planet with a bunch of the short, hooded-creatures on it. It's bad enough that the things look like Jawas, but the fact that they live in the same environment makes it even more laughable. Anyway, the kid is in this place for all of three seconds until his brother pulls him out of it. They ask him what he saw, and instead of saying, "Well I was only in there for three seconds, I didn't see much." He says, "They're using the dwarves as slaves and they have to make them shorter because of the gravity on their home planet!" to which his brother responds "Of course!" When that happened, I busted up laughing. Anyway, Reggie puts his hands on the two poles and the whole mortuary starts collapsing on itself. The two brothers escape, but Reggie gets killed by the Tall Man in his foxy lady form. Then it's cat and mouse for a while with the Tall Man and the brothers until they lead him to a mine shaft and make him fall in it.
Now I'm thinking, "Hooray. Movie over." But as it turns out, that's not the case. The boy wakes up and goes downstairs to tell Reggie all about it. It was all a stupid dream. In reality, the boy's brother has been dead for a while because of a car crash and Reggie looks after the boy now. There was never any Tall Man, silver orbs of doom, or blatant Star Wars rip-offs. It was all a dream. Ok, that's simple enough. It's stupid and predictable, but simple. So the boy goes back up to his room and gets attacked by the Tall Man. The end.
I don't even want to make any sense out of this crappy movie. Plot holes, bad writing, and bad acting is all this movie provided. All that and a headache. So don't be fooled by its' trailer that makes it look awesome like I did. Just pretend it doesn't exist, and maybe it will go away.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Movies don't need plots.
Cars explode when they run into wooden things.
George Lucas has never seen Phantasm.
Jody: "Ahhhh! You hit my f***ing foot, man!"
Michael: "Oh, damn. Look, I know you're not going to believe this, but these things were here, right in the garage, and they're going to get me!"
Jody: "Give me a break, would ya?"
Michael: "They were jumping on the car, and making these weird sounds."
Jody: "Sure it wasn't that retard kid Timmy up the street?"
Michael: "That tall man picked up Tommy's coffin all by himself, and put it in the hearse and drove off."
Jody: "You're crazy! I helped carry that sucker myself. It must've weighed over five hundred pounds."

Michael: "Okay, look, I was following you guys. I didn't mean any harm, but it's out there! It's going to get me!"
Jody: "What's out there?"
Michael: "I don't know. It was little and brown, and low to the ground."
Jody: "It's probably just a gopher in heat."
Michael: "It wasn't any gopher!"
Tall Man: "I've been waiting for you."
Michael: "What are we going to do without Reggie?"
Jody: "Reggie's the last he will ever get; 'cause we're gonna run that tall bastard straight down to Hell."

I liked the first two the best. As with other franchises, I thought the later movies filled in too many of the blanks I enjoyed reserving for my own imagination.

This thread was quite a rant. I'm just gonna say what I think of the film. I don't really care if anyone agrees. I saw this movie in the theater when I was maybe 16 or 17 with my father and my younger sister. Yup, divorce visitation rights- I saw a lot of films that way, including The Holy Grail and Tommy. (What was my Dad thinking?) Maybe it was my age. I liked this movie even though I didn't understand a lot of what was going on. You've gotta love a finger a kid keeps in a box that sprouts wings and turns into a homicidal fly he has to shove into the garbage disposal risking harm to his own fingers. (Didn't Mom tell him not to put his fingers in there?!) The thing I liked the most about this film was subsequent viewings led to more understanding of what was going on. I particularly like the scene where Reggie is using the tuning fork and remembers it later when he closes the door to the other world. I find it nice foreshadowing you don't often see in low budget films like this one. I own the film now. Some of the stuff I found scary back then, is funny now, but i still enjoy the film.

As someone who loves this movie, I can see how many hate it. The story is confusing and almost non-existent at times. The acting is horrible in places, and yes it drags.
I saw this movie back in the summer of 79 at the age of 11 and I identified with Mike in every way. This movie just struck a chord at the time, since it was so unlike anything released at the time.
It also has the most creepy nightmarish atmosphere of any movie I have ever seen. The lighting, the feelings of isolation and separation are throughout the movie. I think it also helps if you look at the movie from the viewpoint of a 12 year old boy who is questioning his fears of adulthood mortality. The eerie music also gives a strange sense of doom at every turn.
I can get why people dislike this movie. I dont get it when people dislike this one, then praise crap like the Chucky movies, or Saw. To me this movie and a handful of others (Suspira, Videodrome, Prince of Darkness) are just on their own level above the dreck.

Psycho Circus
Funniest review I've read on here....period! I think alot of the other comments have been unfair. Yes, it is a fairly decent horror film and it is enjoyable to us B-movie folk, but it is utterly mindboggling. The editing and layout of the plot is very, very confusing....but funny. I love the garage scene with the hammer and thought the end was quite scary.
I like this film alot, since I rewatched it with a friend, but it has ALOT of holes...

I think the main problem is the confusing way it's presented. I've just finished watching it for the first time and my initial reaction coming out of it was that it was awful. However, after 20 minutes I realised that it had made me laugh at several points, I was giving the characters protips throughout the film ("Don't do it Reggie! NOOOOOO!") and I had managed to explain the plot to a housemate who walked in halfway through so it obviously wasn't as confusing as I first thought. The only way I can explain my immediate hatred of it is my brain throwing a tantrum over the extra legwork.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
As a fit 38-year-old single woman from Manhattan, I was too tall and old to be a damsel. But feeling vulnerable from a breakup, I wanted to meet a manly-man type who could coax me back into an active life.
So I joined an outdoor club, where I developed a friendship with Dorothy, a fearless rock-climbing chick, who raved about the kayak trips advertised on the group's Facebook page. I googled the guide, a lifeguard and professor who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. In pictures, he wore a grin surrounded by blondish stubble as he jumped off waterfalls.
When I first met him on a trip, I noticed the toddler-sized dent in his SUV. Stocky and in the bloom of his thirties, he greeted me with a hearty handshake. He joked about run-ins with the police, who followed his exploits on social media.
As a lonely person with a job at a senior center, I was drawn to combustible people who made me feel alive -- separate from my solid Indiana parents who had been married 40 years and drove a Buick to church. I signed up for a second trip near Cold Water, New York, and arrived late. My guide -- the guide -- took me anyway. "Have you been in a kayak before?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said trying to smile. "With you a few weeks ago."
He didn't remember. I hopped into a yellow kayak and caught up to Dorothy. She noted a stormy sky. We could have ended the trip, but my guide continued around Constitution Island, which was no longer really an island. Because the railroad filled in the eastern waterway, we were at a dead end. He instructed us to lift our kayaks out of the Hudson and carry them across active tracks into the marsh. A northbound train stopped to avoid collision. I was stunned. The train moved on.
My guide put my craft in the water and assisted someone else. In the marsh, I tried to steer, but a current pulled me against the train trestle, a bridge that supported two sets of tracks over the marsh and river.
"Are you alright?" my guide asked.
"I think so," I said. I grabbed the bridge with my hands, but the force sent me lifejacket-deep in the cold. It was high tide. Marsh water rushed toward the Hudson, threatening to carry me with it.
"I'm in," I said. I grabbed the rim of the bridge as the kayak whisked away below. My legs piked forward toward the river. My left sandal fell off. I feared I would get sucked under the trestle where there was no space to lift my head. Hanging from the bridge, I looked up to my guide who had docked his boat and run to the trestle to rescue me.
His face reminded me of my brother's -- we were a family, a team. He lay on his belly, unable to reach me. "What if I let go?" I said. "I can swim."
"There's a fence on the other side of the bridge," he told me. "You'll get smashed against it. There's a concrete support in the middle. If you can inch to your left on your forearms, you can get on it, and we can pull you."
I began to move. Pebbles entered my mouth. My left hand slid on algae. My bare foot touched a rock that rolled away. Two guys stood on the concrete column and reached for my arm. One grabbed my wrist and pulled until I was safe on the bridge.
"I thought you were dead," my guide said. "I saw you go toward the bridge, and I saw all the scenarios, and none of them were good. I thought we were going home with one less kayaker."
My hand was bleeding. I couldn't feel it. While the guys tried to free the boat, I watched the empty tracks. Then I saw the trees change, leaves blowing in sequence, and heard the engine. "Train!" I yelled.
A woman from the group put me in her kayak while she walked back. I wanted to be on land, but she reminded me I only had one shoe. We arrived at our destination after dark. I hugged my guide in the parking lot, feeling like my legs were disconnected from my body. "Thank you so much," I said. "You saved me." Our moment on the bridge felt intimate to me, but my guide backed away.
"That was the closest one yet. I really need to get insurance," he said, to my astonishment.
Dorothy offered to drive me halfway home, but I didn't know if I trusted her anymore. See, though she hadn't exactly directed our trip, she was a leader in the club. Without any complaints, she let us go over the bridge into high tide, before a storm. Alone, I took a seat on the Metro North back to Manhattan.
"Ticket," the conductor said. "I had a bad time on the Hudson," I told him, showing my damp pass.
"That was you?" he asked. "You were with that group! You're lucky the driver of this train put the brakes on. We hit a girl there last week. From what the girl was wearing, it looked like she was a kayaker."
"I was underneath the bridge," I said.
"Choose how you want to die," he told me. "Above or below." (I.e., did I want to die above the bridge by getting hit by a train, or below the bridge by drowning?)
The conductor continued down the aisle. He took my stomach with him. At home, I thanked my guide in an email. I was relieved to be alive, but Dorothy tagged me in a pre-accident Facebook photo that made me feel sick: "Ann had a rough night."
The next morning, I expected my guide to refund my rental fee. I wanted his apology. When I didn't get one, I checked his LinkedIn profile. Somehow my brain had danced over the fact that my guide was a lawyer and elected official seeking re-election. He was no hero. He was tidy, not admitting his wrongs in email, which could hold him legally responsible for negligence.
Two days after the accident, fury sunk in. I reported my guide to a local police sergeant. Like the Hudson, I realized I flowed both ways. I could hug my guide like he was Tarzan, but I also turned him in. The sergeant left unreturned messages on my guide's voicemail, warnings to stay off train property. Dorothy continued to Facebook me. "You're too sensitive," she wrote in a note that got me shaking in anger. I broke ties with her too.
Now a year later, I rarely think of the details. Yet when a mentor, my former karate coach, pressed me to make a financial investment, I smelled danger. "Do you want to be someone who plays it safe?" she asked.
"I want to be someone who doesn't hang off bridges," I told her. We embraced and said goodbye.

|Donald Judd, Untitled (DJ77-18) (meter box), 1977 - anodized aluminium
This is a joyful exhibition of painting and sculpture, from the mid 1960s to the present, which uses colour as a principal component. Resolutely abstract, the work here, perhaps, confirms Donald Judd's observation (quoted in the exhibition text) that 'the necessities of representation inhibited the use of colour'. Colour is certainly liberated here, and to exhilerating effect. Donald Judd's own wall mounted box is a gorgeous indigo which is spectacularly complemented by David Annesly's exuberant ribbons of bright yellow steel; Ian Davenport's sensuous pool of poured paint fulfils Frank Stella's onetime ambition to make paintings that kept the paint 'as good as it was in the can'. A beautiful show.
Artists included are: Etel Adnan, Josef Albers, David Annesley, David Batchelor, Anthony Caro, Ian Davenport, Paul Feeley, Sam Gilliam, Peter Halley, John Hoyland, Donald Judd, Joseph Kosuth, Jeremy Moon, Kenneth Noland, Hélio Oiticica, Yuko Shiraishi, Frank Stella, Joe Tilson and William Tucker.

Breitbart News speculated a few days ago that Huma Abedin is staying with Anthony Weiner because of her own political ambitions. Now more in the journalism world agree with this assessment, and some suggest she learned how to handle a sex scandal by watching Hillary Clinton.
The biggest lesson? How to make your husband's sex scandal work for you. No one knows that better than Clinton. From The Atlantic Wire:
"As the many glowing profiles of Huma Abedin in recent months have noted, she learned a lot working as Hillary Clinton's right-hand woman since the 1990s," the Atlantic's Elspeth Reeve wrote Wednesday. "But maybe the biggest lesson Abedin learned was not just how to help her husband survive a sex scandal, but how to launch her own political career."
Weiner is running for the Democrat nomination for New York City mayor. On July 23rd The Dirty exposed a new sexting scandal involving the disgraced former congressman, which happened one year after he resigned.
There are rumors floating around Clinton will receive the 2016 Democrat presidential nomination. Abedin was her right hand woman in the 1990s and stayed with her when she was Secretary of State. Clinton stayed in her marriage and it elevated her political career. If Clinton wins in 2016, Abedin could reach higher political positions than Weiner. Monica Crowley pointed that out on FOX News:
"Her tendency would be to go the Hillary Clinton model," Crowley said on Fox News. "It is clear that Huma, given her position with Hillary Clinton who is running for president in 2016, that she has a lot of personal ambition of her own. What may be taking place here is shared ambition on the part of both of them to achieve ever higher positions of power and using their marriages to do it."
But could it work? Some think taking the Clinton route will damage any credibility she earned while working with Clinton. This includes FOX News contributor and Weiner's ex-girlfriend Kirsten Powers:
"I do think she put her credibility on the line when she came out and did the press conference," Powers said on Fox News. "Whether she wanted to be there or not, what does it say about a husband who lets his wife do that? It was extremely humiliating."
Overall, it is a brilliant strategy. She largely remained in the background during his first sex scandal, but now everyone is talking about Abedin. The news appears to be more about her than Weiner too. Either way, whether it helps or not, her name is out there and everyone will get to know Huma Abedin, who could receive a powerful position if Clinton wins in 2016.

WrestleMania 29: Lackluster Event Makes Tough Road to Extreme RulesApril 8, 2013
There is no momentum. Perhaps it's the after effect of part-time superstars. Perhaps it was the predictability of a card that produced no swerves or crazy finishes and left a general "ho-hum" feeling across the WWE Universe.
While WWE always builds Mania to be the culmination of its biggest storylines, there has to be an eye toward Extreme Rules, a pay-per-view that takes place in just a few short weeks.
Perhaps the most glaring issue coming out of Mania was The Rock vs. Cena match. With The Rock having dropped the title, he's entitled to a rematch, but it's hard to believe that the WWE brass would waste another Rock vs. Cena match on an Extreme Rules pay-per-view. This means that it'll have to shoehorn another opponent for the May event with no logical build or booking to the feud.
Who should it be? Ryback? CM Punk? Brock Lesnar? Every option feels like a forced feud rather than an organic build.
Triple H and Lesnar's storyline went the way most expected, but that wasn't a good thing. With Triple H winning, he gets to continue his wrestling career, a career that involves random and rare trips back into the ring. Of course Triple H's win puts Lesnar in the position of now looking like an unstoppable machine that has been stopped two out of the three times he's wrestled since his comeback.
Where does Lesnar go now? What motivation would he have for showing up at Extreme Rules and to face whom?
WWE did a great job in its build to Mania, but it's left a huge void in the anticipation for Extreme Rules.

There is a period of activity that will be happening around you today. Go with the flow but stand your ground if you need to.-Hippopotamus
If Hippopotamus has come across your path:
If Hippopotamus is your Animal Totem:
You have an innate ability to know what lies beneath the surface of any situation. You see and speak the truth and will demand that others respect that truth. You are highly intuitive and act on your intuition without hesitation or questioning it. You are practical, balanced and grounded in your lifestyle. You will often submerge yourself in in the creative process without fear of the power emotions that surface in this process. You have a strong connection to the spiritual, artistic and healing realms of water. Often those of you with this totem are susceptible to sun related problems including dehydration – so you must be careful outdoors.
If Hippopotamus has come into your Dream:
A Hippopotamus can represent emotional clearing, or emotional turmoil. If it is a baby hippo and you are looking after it the dream may be a indicating that a big event is occurring in your life, one that will grow and claim much of your time.
To see a group of hippopotamuses in your dream suggests that you need to escape from the daily grind and relax.
Alternatively, to see a Hippopotamus in your dream often symbolizes your hidden strengths and your aggressive nature. You have more influence and power than you realize. There is also the possibility that it indicates that you are being territorial. Is someone is overstepping their boundaries?

Request A Parking Zone
Some streets suffer from severe parking pressures due to 'parking generators' like schools, recreational facilities/fields, or businesses. In these cases, the City of Regina can create parking zones along these streets to ensure residents or motorists with disabilities have sufficient on-street parking.
You require a special permit to park for an extended period of time on a street with a residential parking zone or a parking zone for persons with disabilities.

"The hours are hard to pass by. Each minute feels like a day," says Rabin Das, who worked as a forklift truck driver at the shut Ambassador factory.
Rabin Das, 53, wakes up at 7 am every day and steps out of his home after breakfast, his ritual for 32 years. But for the past two months, he has given up another ritual — walking hurriedly to the factory from where Ambassador cars once rolled out.
Das used to drive a forklift truck at the factory till May 24, when Hindustan Motors (HM) shut it down indefinitely. So, instead of rushing for work now, he ambles out of his 500-sq-ft flat, located in the same compound as the factory, and takes a leisurely walk in the lanes between the apartment buildings that house over 2,100 HM employees. As he bumps into former colleagues, the talk veers around to fond memories of working at the Amby factory and fears about what lies ahead.
Not one to sit at home, he wishes to walk further, but his family is worried about his health and wants him to rest. Two weeks after Das was given the suspension notice "out of the blue", he suffered a stroke and has since been advised rest. "After my morning walk, the hours are hard to pass by. Each minute feels like a day," he says.
At home, he watches TV and plays with his five-year-old grandson Soumyajit. Others in his family include wife Geeta Das, sons Bishwadeep and Krishnendu Das, and daughters-in-law Sonali and Sumita Das. He can often be found staring out of the window, as if waiting to hear the sound of the factory siren, indicating resumption of work.
His family tries to cheer him up by talking about little Soumyajit and how naughty he had become. "We make sure not to leave him alone, so that he doesn't get depressed thinking of the factory. We console him by reminding him that we may be low on income now, but it's commendable that the family is fighting it out together," Geeta says.
The family, for close to a year, has been financially dependent on Bishwadeep, who works with a catering company, and Krishnendu, who is employed with a pharmacy. For six months before the Amby factory was shut, Das was not paid his salary of Rs 12,000 (he joined HM in 1983 at Rs 5,000 a month). His sons earn "paltry" amounts too, he says.
"We stopped eating fish long ago. Now we buy coarse rice and less food. We are afraid of medical emergencies as there is no financial support," says Bishwadeep.
Around Rs 18,000 was spent to treat Das's stroke, and Rs 70,000 more is needed for his pacemaker. "We have no idea how to get the money," he says.
By evening, Das heads out to the homes of former colleagues. Over puffed rice and fritters, they talk about what the union members and ministers have been doing to try get the factory re-opened.
"I don't know if I and the other workers would get provident fund and gratuity money," says Das.
While some workers are despondent, others keep their hopes up. They relive old memories and laugh. "We don't crib, we always talk positively, like how people are working to bring back the glorious days of Hind Motors when workers would work in three shifts, round the clock, to produce shiny Ambys. We know we are hoping against hope but we still hope," Das says.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) has been performing extremely well recently. The company has begun its move into the mobile market and it's stock price has risen in the first weeks of the new year. The former Chief Executive of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD) has a little something to say about that, and he's saying it in a new book.
Hector Ruiz, who led AMD from 2002 until 2008, has released a book called Slingshot, which details his experience in the fight against Intel in the semiconductor market. The book alleges that Intel was involved in illegal business practices during its fight against Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD).
AMD sued Intel for anti trust violations during Ruiz' reign at the head of the company. Intel never admitted any wrongdoing in the case, but the firm did eventually pay AMD $1.25 billion in a 2009 settlement. The new book from Ruiz seeks to remind people of the battle, and bring to light some of the strategies Intel was using to ensure market supremacy.
According to Slingshot, AMD released a great lone of chips early in the last decade, but despite initial excitement from computer makers, the line up never resulted in increased demand. Ruiz alleges that the reluctance stemmed from financial incentives and threats from Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC).
This book is unlikely to cause much trouble for Intel now. The law suits are over, and the processor market has changed substantially since Ruiz sat at the helm of AMD. Intel is now coming from a position far behind its competitors in the mobile market. That market is thought by almost everyone to be the future of the processor market.
Neither of the two firms have had a very good time on the market in the last twelve months. Stock in Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD) has fallen by more than 60% in the last year, while stock in Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) has fallen by more than 20% in the same period. Investor angst about the future of the processor market has had a big effect on the shares of both companies.
The book, which was co-written with the journalist Lauren Villagran, is to be published on April 23. It clocks in at just around 200 pages long and discusses Riaz childhood and education as well as other challenges he faced at the head of AMD, covering much more than just the Intel anti trust case.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Probably won't get as far as to get the Phantom Dancer, and if you do, there's a good chance you won't have the gold to afford it...so really just get whatever. If you need it move the thornmail up a little, or if you don't, replace it with a magic resist item - just be sure you have some defense. Flash is good in place of heal because of Xin's passive, but heal is pretty sexy as well. I usually start off the phage with a ruby crystal but have done both and they each work fine. Get three talon strike up because the increased damage takes enemies down quickly. Battle cry is nice to have one of for the CDR, but the attack speed from it isn't all that important for this build.

Jesus says: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
Pier Giorgio responds: "Our life, in order to be Christian, has to be a continual renunciation, a continual sacrifice. But this is not difficult, if one thinks what these few years passed in suffering are, compared with eternal happiness where joy will have no measure or end, and where we shall
have unimaginable peace."
We pray: Blessed Pier Giorgio, teach me that I must be able to mourn if I will be able to rejoice. Show me how to face my sorrow, and not avoid it or pretend that it does not exist. Help me to enter into any present sorrow, so that my soul can empty itself and be filled with God's peace.
Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is our Consoler, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I confidently turn to you for help in my present need: (mention your request.)

In the top of a double boiler set over very hot water, melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter. Allow it to cool.
Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl until frothy. Slowly add the sugar and beat until the mixture ribbons off the beaters. Add the melted chocolate mixture. Stir to combine.
Sift the dry ingredients together. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chips and nuts. The dough will seem more like cake batter than cookie dough. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is well chilled (and more cookie-dough-like).
Set the oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with baking parchment.
Scoop up the chilled dough and roll with your hands into small balls the size of a whole walnut (in the shell). Place the cookies on the prepared pans, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
Bake about 12 minutes or a bit longer. The tops of the cookies should look dry and cracked. Allow to cool for a minute on the baking sheet, then remove to cake racks for further cooling.

Woman in China finds out her spitz is a fox
It only took a few months for Ms. Wang to start noticing her "dog" was a little odd.
The woman bought the fluffy white pup from a pet store in China about 10 months ago.
She thought she'd bought a spitz.
But in the months ahead she noticed its tail was growing longer and fluffier than that of the average spitz.
And when it was three months old, it stopped eating dog food, preferring fruit and produce.
And its snout grew more pointy.
And the "dog" never barked.
Then there was the reaction other dogs had to it when they went out on walks. They seemed a little scared.
Eventually, Ms. Wang took her doubts and her pet to Taiyuan Zoo, where she was informed that what she'd been living with was a fox.
"Based on the size, it is a domesticated fox," the zoo's Sun Letian told Shanxi Network Television. "It carries a smell in their body and the smell can get stronger as it grows older."
The fox is currently about a foot long and is expected to grow larger.
Ms. Wang gave the fox to the zoo, where after a month in quarantine, it will live in the fox enclosure.
She was invited to come visit it anytime.

What is the "truth" about Just Pups?
Police investigating the source of a stench in Paramus found 67 puppies packed in a van parked behind Just Pups, a North Jersey pet store.
The pups — some covered in feces — were seized early Monday and taken to a North Jersey animal hospital, where 15 of them were determined to be in need of medical treatment.
Found locked in steel crates, the puppies were scheduled to go to other stores in the Just Pups chain. They had come from the Missouri breeding kennel of store owner Vincent LoSacco.
That's him in the video above — responding last week to allegations of animal cruelty filed by the New Jersey SPCA in connection with the chain's largest outlet in East Brunswick, N.J.
Last week, East Brunswick's council unanimously voted to revoke LoSacco's license at that store, prompting him to post a video he called "The Truth About Just Pups."
Despite the scrutiny, LoSacco still apparently saw no problem with leaving 67 puppies in a parked van in Paramus on a night that temperatures dropped to 35 degrees.
Authorities said that about 3 a.m. Monday, Paramus police officers approached the van and detected the stench of urine and feces.
The officers, hearing whines coming from inside the van, opened an unlocked sliding door and found the dogs.
Police said the temperature inside the poorly ventilated van was 38 degrees, and that some of the crates did not contain food or water. The small crates held two to four puppies each.
LoSacco on Monday told NorthJersey.com that the van was temperature controlled, and leaving puppies parked in the van overnight was not an uncommon practice.
"It's not unnormal to leave them in the van, as long as they have air conditioning or heat — depending on the season — and food and water," LoSacco said. "It's the same thing with the pet store. People aren't there 24 hours."
He denied that the cages were overcrowded, and suggested that any dogs who were covered in feces got that way when police officers loaded the van onto a flatbed truck to transport it.
As of Monday night, four pups remained at the vet's office. The rest — golden retrievers, Labradors and terriers — were transferred to Tyco Animal Control, which has contracts with more than 20 municipalities in Bergen and Passaic counties.
The incident is being investigated by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Animal Cruelty Task Force, Paramus police detectives and the Paramus Health Department.
The Paramus was closed Monday pending the investigation. It reopened Tuesday.
Paramus Mayor Richard LaBarbiera said the store had been the subject of complaints in recent weeks from residents about unsanitary conditions and animal cruelty.
The mayor said a Paramus inspector visited the store in response to the complaints and found some unsanitary conditions, but no signs of cruelty. The store was closed for about 24 hours while those sanitary conditions were addressed.
Just Pups has four New Jersey locations — in Paramus, East Hanover, East Brunswick and Emerson, according to its website.
"Just Pups is the only puppy or pet store that you can shop at where you have a 100% guarantee that 100% of our puppies have come from reputable breeders only," the website says. "..We have never ever purchased a single puppy from a questionable source or a puppy broker."
In February, LoSacco's attempts to renew his license for a Just Pups location in Valhalla, N.Y., were denied, according to the New York Daily News.
The charges filed by the NJSPCA against the East Brunswick store came after three dead dogs were found in the store's freezer on Feb. 29. In total, 267 animal cruelty charges were filed by the NJSPCA, alleging, among other things, that LoSacco exposed puppies to illnesses by commingling healthy and sick animals.
An online petition calling for that store to be shut down and for a state Department of Health investigation into all Just Pups locations has gathered nearly 160,000 signatures.

Wedding ring found in folds of dog food bag
A Tennessee couple found more than kibble when they lugged a bag of dog food home from the pet store this week.
Within the bag's creases was a wedding ring.
Krista Berg of Murfreesboro called the manufacturer, then the pet store, where she found the ring's rightful owner, employee Mike Stoddard, who'd apparently lost it while stocking shelves at the Murfreesboro PetMart.
The couple returned the ring to him, according to News Channel 5.

How much was that doggie in the window?
A California man who gave his girlfriend a 3-month-old yellow Lab for Christmas has been taken into custody.
Officials say the dog was stolen — three days before Christmas — from a Stanton pet store.
The theft of the Marley look-alike from Pet City was caught on the store's surveillance cameras, according to the Orange County Register.
The boyfriend – Ryan Rickman, 23, of Orange – returned to the store with the dog to pay for it Tuesday, but instead was booked into county jail on suspicion of burglary and grand theft, officials said. Later, the puppy was turned over to Rickman's girlfriend, who ended up paying for her own Christmas gift.
Sheriff's investigators have identified a second man involved in the theft but have not been able to contact him, said an Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Security video shows two men walking into the store and spending several minutes talking to clerks. After one of the clerks leaves for a lunch break, one of the men distracts the remaining clerk while the other man lifts the puppy from a cage and runs out the door.

More than 20 pets perish in Indiana store fire
More than 20 dogs and cats died Monday when fire swept through a pet store in Bloomington, Indiana.
Nine dogs and three cats survived the fire at Delilah's pet store — most of which were rescued from the front of the building where they were on display.
Investigators were trying to determine the cause.
Karen Kidwell, the owner of the store, believes the fire started in the back of the building, WTHR-TV in Indianapolis reported.
"Probably electrical. It's an old building," said Kidwell. "I'm really glad none of my people were here because I would have really felt bad if they got hurt. The fire broke out just minutes before the store was set to open.
"I've been thinking about the animals that didn't make it out. I had a personal dog that had been abused. It was a really sweet dog that didn't get out of the fire and I just hate to see her go down that way."
Kidwell isn't sure if she'll re-open.

The Real Housewives of New York Are Taking a Trip to Morocco
Oh, this is very good news.
Get excited: The new Housewives of New York season is officially filming — with Kelly Bensimon, Jill Zarin, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, and new co-star Cindy Barshop all in — and because nothing brings the rage out of luxury-loving, middle-aged women quite like a Bravo-paid tropical vacation, they're all currently en route to Morocco. "In keeping with the Muslim country's more modest dress code, we're told the Housewives will swap their mini-skirts and strappy tops for more traditional and full-length clothing," Radar reports. Possibly offensive culture clashes and potential for a megaspat? This should be good. [Radar]
