DANBURY, Conn. - For the third year in a row, family-owned, "farm-fresh food grocer" Stew Leonard's -- with Fairfield County locations in Norwalk and Danbury -- was named "one of the best places to work in Connecticut," according to a report by Hartford Business Journal, Best Companies Group.
At the Danbury store, Nicole Weiss manages what she refers to as "the front end -- cashiers, customer service, accounting and more." A 25 year veteran of Stew Leonards -- she began working there when she was 16 -- the dairy store's accolades come as no surprise.
"Stew's is a great company to work for," she said. "They are very flexible with employees' schedules, particularly where kids are concerned -- sports, events and sick children."
Weiss, who is married to the director of Stew's kitchen in Danbury, takes none of what she calls "the perks" for granted. They include, she said: regular free lunches, "annual appreciation parties" for each department, gift cards for free holiday turkey, gift cards for the holidays, profit sharing, a 401k and health insurance.
And, she said, there are 49 other advantages to working at Stew's: she gets seven weeks of vacation per year.
Stew Leonard's, whose humble beginnings as a small dairy store founded in Norwalk in 1969 with seven employees, was the seed for a now nearly $400 million business, has more than 2,000 employees -- more than 1,300 of them based in Connecticut -- in the region.
Stew's earned its nickname, the "Disneyland of Dairy Stores" because of the stores' country-fair atmospheres, replete with petting farms, costumed characters and animated entertainment. Joining shoppers down the aisles are characters such as "Larry Lettuce," Cindy Celery" and more, all of whom lend a musical and festive air to Stew's unique shopping experience.
But for Weiss, it all comes down to one thing: "Stew's truly cares about the people who work there."

Friday Style Icon: Courtney Stodden
17-year-old child bride Courtney Stodden is in the news today for telling reporters that she spent her wedding "aroused for 24 hours straight," and no, there isn't a soap that exists for cleansing away this feeling. Anyway, we were reminiscing over Stodden's childhood (back when she was just 16 and made the music video for her single "Don't Put It On Me") and thought to ourselves, "Wow, that monokini is really… really… bright." And then we knew it: Courtney Stodden would be today's Style Icon.
Please note that in place of the usual quotations, we're using her astounding Tweets (taken at random).

What is WebDAV?
WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning".
It's a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.
It can also be used to access mail on exchange server. I used it for this.
It great for accessing Exchange because all you need is an XML body sent over HTTP. No installing of anything.
How it works?
WebDAV works with XML. It sends xml requests to the server and gets the responses in return.
It uses MSXML or System.Net.HttpWebRequest in .NET.
WebDAV has some extended keywords besides the standard HTTP ones...

By encompassing simple forms and block colors, Wall aims to engage a reaction from the viewer, allowing them to decide what the works mean. The use of large scale works exaggerate these notions with the minimal of direction.
"I try to make work that is accessible for everyone, I gravitate towards abstraction and minimalism due to its core ideas around communication. Language is inherent to us and I play on the things that can connect us all," explains Wall.
Contrast is important to my work, be it between forms, colors, complexity or simplicity, micro or macro, anything that creates a conflict or asks a question. How the work exists within a space and the conversation between the art work and the viewer is imperative to me, the most simple gestures can represent intricate narratives," says the artist.
A combination of powdered pigments and paint are used, creating strong textures that are subtle but integral. These methods of working help the pieces to engage their surroundings, creating work that absorbs light producing dense colors and textures. An important aspect of the work is the resistance of the materials in which the pigment and paint are applied; the frames are handmade and built for each piece, allowing full control over the finished works.
Signature: Signed by the artist.

Model 50A8DD
PWM Input Brush Servo Amplifiers
20-80 VDC Input, 25A cont. (50A pk)@ 20-80 VDC Output
from $520.00/ea
**This product is NRFND (Not Recommended For New Designs)**
The 50A-DD Series PWM servo amplifiers are designed to drive brush type DC motors. The PWM frequency is determined by the PWM input signal. All models are fully protected against over-voltage, over-current, overheating and short circuits across motor, ground and power leads. All models interface with digital controllers that have a digital PWM output. They can also be used as a stand-alone system when using Pot 2.
The 50A-DD Series amplifiers require only a single unregulated DC power supply as all logic and control voltages are generated internally. PWM input determines the output duty cycle. "Direction In" determines which side of the "H bridge" output is switching. Current limit can be reduced by Pot 1 (14 turn potentiometer), by DIP the switches and/or by an external current limiting resistor. The voltage at the current monitor pin P1-15 is proportional to the actual motor current.

Matt Marino wanted a change. After spending 17 years with Verizon, Matt decided to return to UB where he had earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering years before. He joined the Network and Classroom Services department as a Communications Systems Engineer.
At UB, Matt works with community partners including Buffalo State College, the City of Buffalo, the Department of Transportation (DOT), Kaleida Health, the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA), and the Town of Amherst. He's involved in a daily exchange of resources around Western New York which keep UB connected through a vast fiber optic network.
Matt is responsible for developing a strategy between UB staff and local organization representatives in order meet common goals. He also often needs to make information more understandable to non-technical individuals. Matt added, "Many of these individuals are very intelligent, inspiring and enthusiastic in their work. When I can contribute my talents to accomplish a team goal, it's very rewarding!"
With IT constantly changing and expanding, there are always new challenges and a demand to keep learning. "It makes for a stimulating work environment," he added. "I'm excited about the changes in the developing Medical (Downtown) campus and UB's ability to be a driver for the Western New York economy."
"The work I do in IT provides the communication systems necessary for professors to teach, students to learn, and researchers to be involved in their studies," Matt continued. "It is easy to take for granted the availability of UB's communications network, but if it were to go down, everyone would be affected. The entire IT staff works very diligently to ensure that the network stays connected and to design and build an extremely reliable and robust system."
Matt enjoys studying the Bible and is active in a Bible ministry, taking the opportunity to share what he's learned with others. He also enjoys playing tennis, bicycling, and travel.

Johnny was super happy to have Eva in town. She was a really cute, petite Latina from Argentina that was so ready for that big American cock. He explained that while he was visiting in Argentina, he noticed Eva from all the way across the bar. That seemed pretty typical to us until he explained why. Johnny hiked up her skirt and pointed out that Eva never wears panties. Sure enough we could see that sexy little, clean-shaved, Latina pussy in full view.
Johnny wasted no time rubbing it and getting Eva hot. Then the couple went inside where she sucked his dick with fervor. She bobbed up and down and gave incredible head. Once Johnny was rock hard, he banged that pussy hard from the back, front and every which way. Eva kept wanting it even harder. At a certain point, he just couldn't keep up anymore. She'd cum several times, and now it was his turn. Johnny pulled and busted a massive load all over that pretty face. It was super HOT!

Former Bristol head coach and No. 8 Dean Ryan is to return to the Championship club in a consultancy role.
Ryan played 45 times for the Memorial Stadium side and coached the team to the 2001-02 Premiership final before he left the club to coach Gloucester. He will work with Bristol for one day a week, primarily with the board of directors and head coach Liam Middleton.
"I am delighted to be renewing my relationship with Bristol Rugby, who gave me the opportunity to take my first steps into coaching," Ryan said. "I hope the experience that I've gained in a number of different environments will now be of assistance to the Club in its quest to return to the top flight."
Bristol was Ryan's final club in a playing career that also included stints at Saracens, London Wasps and Newcastle. He won four caps for England but has been working in the media since he left Gloucester in June 2009.
"I believe the appointment of Dean as a Consultant to the Club will be a great asset for us," said Bristol chairman Chris Booy. "I'm confident Dean's vast experience and knowledge of Rugby will provide a real benefit throughout the 2012/13 RFU Championship season."

Bartlett had the perfect run-stopper in Lance Whitaker when it faced the hosts for the Class A consolation championship of the Jacobs Boys Holiday Basketball Classic on Saturday afternoon in Algonquin.
The Hawks experienced an all-too-familiar scenario as a 13-point lead turned into a 3-point deficit to the Golden Eagles in less than eight minutes in the second half. Then the UIC-bound Whitaker took matters into his own hands.
The 6-foot-4 senior had a hand in all of Bartlett's points in a 15-4 spurt as it recovered for a 59-52 victory and a 4-1 finish in the tournament at the Eagles Nest.
"I felt we were getting a little out of control on offense," Whitaker said after finishing with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists and earning all-tourney honors. "It was a good time to get to the basket and get to the (free-throw) line so we could refocus and we were able to do that."
Whitaker's 9 points in the decisive stretch included 7-for-8 free throw shooting off drives to the basket and a score off his own miss. But he also drove and dished to all-tourney pick Jon Moss (11 points) for his third 3-pointer of the game and to Justin Busch for a 3 to help Bartlett (12-4) take a 50-42 lead with 2:19 to play.
Jacobs (6-7) would get no closer than 6 points the rest of the way.
"He's hard to match," Jacobs coach Jim Hinkle said of Whitaker.
"We want Lance always going to the basket because there are very few kids who we are going to go up against in the course of the year who are that strong," said Bartlett coach Jim Wolfsmith. "When he gets into the lane, he's so good it forces five defenders to him."
Bartlett hit 13 of its first 24 shots and led 32-19 when Whitaker found Mitch Reid for a layup 49 seconds into the second half. But Jacobs' trapping pressure defense fueled a 19-2 tear where all-tourney pick Will Schwerdtmann (20 points, 8 rebounds) and Lake Ojo (16 points, 5 rebounds) scored the first 17 points. The third of Schwerdtmann's four 3s came with a defender right in his face just before the third-quarter buzzer.
Schwerdtmann was fouled after he scored off his own miss to give Jacobs its first lead at 36-35, grabbed his missed free throw and found Jon Berndt for a layup with 7:34 to play. But shooting struggles that included 5-for-15 on free throws made the lead short-lived.
"I'm pleased with our effort and it was an honest effort," Hinkle said. "I thought we played well enough to win. We came out with a lot of resolve in the second half and played solid defense."
Moss' tying 3 helped get Bartlett back on the right track.
"We have to make sure we keep executing plays when we get the lead instead of slacking off on offense and defense," Whitaker said.
"I would like one of these days to get a 15-point lead and extend it," Wolfsmith said with a laugh. "We have to find a way to compose ourselves offensively when we have that type of lead and not force shots and play good defense, which we didn't do there in that third quarter."

In "How to Train Your Dragon 2," the young Viking Hiccup is reunited with an important figure from his past — Valka, a character voiced by Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett.
"I had her in mind when I wrote the character," said writer-director Dean DeBlois. "I needed to channel a woman who would be both rich in that she's really commanding and has a really authoritative presence but also has a lot of stinging regret, so there's a vulnerability to her as well."
Speaking as a special guest at the fifth annual Hero Complex Film Festival on May 31, DeBlois was joined on stage for a Q&A about the new animated sequel by stars Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera, who voice Hiccup and his feisty confidante Astrid, respectively, following an early screening of the film at the TCL Chinese 6 Theaters.
The trio described the challenges of following up the 2010 original — a critical and commercial smash that took in about $500 million at the box office worldwide and received Oscar nominations for animated feature and original score.
Set five years after the events of the first film, "How to Train Your Dragon 2" sees Hiccup taking on a wider set of challenges; while the original cast members reprise their roles, new actors join the ensemble including "Game of Thrones" star Kit Harrington, Djimon Hounsou and Blanchett.
During the Q&A, DeBlois then recounted how he approached Blanchett at the Academy Awards in 2011.
"I walked up to her at the cocktail reception before the ceremony started and I said, 'Hey, I wrote a part for you in 'How to Train Your Dragon 2.' And she said, 'Really?'"
DeBlois said he was aided by some inside pressure from Blanchett's camp that spurred her to sign on for the role.
"Her boys were huge fans of the first one, so that helped."
Watch the clip above to hear what else the two stars and the writer-director had to say, and look for more video from this conversation and others from the festival soon.

Renee's mobster father Anthony "TG" Graziano was just indicted on racketeering charges… charges that were a result of Renee's ex-husband Hector "Junior" Pagan going all Benedict Arnold on Renee's family by wearing a wire to get information from his former father-in-law.
A recent article from the online edition of the New York Post spoke about Renee's breakdown outside the New York courthouse this week after her father was charged. She talked openly about her ex-husband (who she had hoped to reconcile with on the current season which filmed months ago). Her ex, as you know, ratted out her father by becoming an FBI informant.
As Renee's father was taken away by U.S. Marshals, the Mob Wives star couldn't handle the pressure of the given situation. And who can blame her? It was during this real life "Usual Suspects" moment that Renee realized perhaps Junior's promises of a stronger relationship were nothing more than an attempt to get closer to her father to garner information for a DEA investigation, which would send her father back to the clink. Shame on you, Junior. Not that I'm pro-mobster, but I am totally against betraying your loved ones in exchange for immunity for your own misgivings.
A tearful Renee told the magazine, "They're in 'The Life' with you one day, and then cooperating the next."
Renee hasn't seen Junior, who is reportedly in the witness protection program, but she is devastated by the potential effect on AJ, her 17-year-old son, with Junior. She reveals, "My son is taking this very hard. He loves his father." Continuing, the mama bear is adamant that she "won't forgive [Junior] for what he did to my son."
Renee admits that had she known of Junior's intentions she would have tipped off her father, regardless of the pair's tumultuous relationship. She cites Junior's actions as an "immense betrayal."
"I would have told my father — 100 percent," Renee promises the magazine.
The article points out that had Renee tipped off her father, she likely would have sealed her ex-husband's fate. According to the New York Post, the mob is quick to extinguish government informants. As someone who has always been indifferent about Renee on the show, I do hate to hear that she could have potentially been put in such an explosive situation.
With the cameras still rolling for the VH1 hit, Renee chooses to focus on the positive things the series has done for women in her position. While she's the star of a show which highlights the feminine side of the Mafia world, Renee wants to point out, "This is not about the men. It's about what women go through."
And speaking of turncoats, everyone's favorite overly-enhanced second season addition, Angela "Big Ang" Raiola, gave an interview to Good Day L.A. explaining the seemingly counterproductive concept of having a reality show about people whose family members are literally trying to remain anonymous… you know, because they're hardened criminals and all.
Huffingtonpost reports on that appearance, saying that in this reality world of the mob, according to our love Big Ang "everybody rats" and the series is in no way on La Cosa Nostra's radar.
Big Ang can relate to the world of informants, as she herself was arrested in a cocaine bust in 2001 because of one. She admits, "A girlfriend of mine, an informer, had a wire … She went into witness protection and then we all got arrested. I did house arrest … We had parties every day for six months." Sounds kind of fun, right?
It certainly makes people wonder why these women would do a show when most of their family and friends are involved in a very secret–and very dangerous–crime ridden world. However, Big Ang believes that the secrecy involved with being part of a mob family rarely exists nowadays.
She explains, "How could it be secretive? Everybody's rats … There's no more secrets, they're all ratting each other out. It's over."
Of course Big Ang is in the perfect place to call out the turn-coating ways of infamous Mafia crime families. Of her own family, linked to the mob, she admits, "Thank god they're dead." It's definitely hard to hate on a show that exposes your family secrets when your family isn't around to watch it!

How to Update Sony Drivers by Myself?
Method to Update Driver with Device Manager
QUESTION: My Vaio Duo Ultrabook (SVD13215PXW) has gone into a login loop. It is apparently looking for a document that has possibly been corrupted or eliminated missing. Needless to say, I can't shut it down with normal processes and the "assist" button fails to interrupt the cycle. Will there be any way to shut this down with out just letting the battery run out?
As soon as it is turned off, I might be able to reboot and troubleshoot.
- Power reset the pc. Using a safety pin, push and hold the hole for 3 seconds.
- Reset BIOS.
- Test the computer in Safe Mode.
- Restore the computer to the last known good configuration.
I hope this helps.

Ask most people where the samosa originated and they will probably mention India. But in fact, these little pastry treats took off in Central Asia and spread to India via the Silk Road. Now samosas can be found in various incarnations, everywhere from Afghanistan to Egypt. In Afghanistan, the savory meat parcel is sprinkled with pistachio and sugar. They're eaten with pounded dates, chili and shredded ginger in Zanzibar. In Tajikistan, they are filled with wild greens, pumpkin, or lamb, depending on the season. And in Somalia, they were even banned by al-Shabab during the 2011 East Africa Drought -- for being 'too Christian'.
But I am back where it all began, on the Silk Road in Central Asia...
I have just spent the past month in northern Tajikistan, once a central trading point on the Silk Road. It's a city rich in history, founded by Alexander the Great in 329BC as Alexandria Eschate - Alexandria The Furthest. The Soviets renamed the city Leninabad from 1939 to 1991. Little historic charm remains -- unless crumbling Soviet architecture is your thing -- but culinary traditions have remained very much intact.
Last week I was lucky enough to get a samosa cooking lesson from a colleague at Kiva Field Partner, IMON International. These samosas are quite different from those I've tried elsewhere. They are not dense, spicy, fried triangles stuffed with potato. They are a dainty, savoury pastry, filled with fresh wild greens, and sprinkled with nigella seeds. They're the tastiest samosas I've tried and easy enough to replicate at home, wherever you are in the world.
1 HUGE bowl of wild greens (rocket, baby spinach, sorrel, coriander, dill - whatever you can find!)
2 brown onions, thinly sliced
1 cup oil (sunflower or olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Well, I'll let you off the hook and suggest picking up pre-made pastry dough (sometimes called Patti or Manda) from an Indian or Asian grocery store. You could also use filo pastry. Making pastry from scratch is quite labout intensive -- just to give you an idea, you'll need a foot-long rolling pin -- and you will need to prepare it the day before as it must rest overnight. But if you are truly that determined...
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sunflower oil
1/3 cup cold water
1 egg
pinch of salt
extra flour, for working the dough
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
Short Version
1. Preheat oven to 390ºF (200ºc)
2. Slowly heat oil in a saucepan until warm - do not let it get too hot!
2. Roughly chop greens and combine with sliced onions
3. Pour warm oil over the greens, add a pinch of salt, then mix vigourously using your hands
4. Lay out pastry squares and place a large spoonful of greens in the middle
5. Spread the greens diagonally across the pastry, then fold each triangle toward the center
6. Flip the parcel over and place on a lined baking tray
7. Brush with egg yolk, sprinkle with a few nigella seeds and bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until puffy, golden and crisp!
Extended Version
The night before --
1. Sift flour and salt into a large bowl
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the sunflower oil and water
3. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add 1/4 of the oil mixture
4. Using your finger tips, mix the ingredients - add 1/4 of oil at a time, working the dough until it has a smooth consistency
5. The dough should should be malleable enough to form a firm ball of dough - if it is too sticky, add a little more flour to the mixture
6. Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a damp tea towel to leave overnight
The following day --
7. Start by covering your work surface with a light layer of flour and place the dough on top
8. Flatten the dough using your hands -- you may have to bash the dough with your knuckles -- until it resembles a rectangle (about the size of an A4 page), 1-2 cm thick
9. Fold the dough in half, then fold it in half again
10. Repeat step 8, pounding the dough with your knuckles, then get out your 1 foot long rolling pin!
11. Roll, roll, roll, until the pastry is as thin as paper (easy, right?)
12. Fold and layer the large sheet of pastry to create 4 or 5 layers, like this...
13. Using a sharp knife, slice the pastry vertically, creating long strips
14. Stretch out the pastry strips to make them as thin as possible before cutting it into squares
15. Start back at step 1 of the short version
If you managed to get through the extended version, I am thoroughly impressed and would love to see a picture of your finished goods!

Notre Dame Hoax ?
[Guest post by JD]
Manti Te'o's once thought to be dead girlfriend apparently never existed. There is much speculation as to who perpetuated this hoax, why, how, and to what end.
I have no clue, other than MTV now has a series called Catfish dealing with this type of entanglement.
Around here, there is a history to draw from vis a vis the Weiner story to know that there is likely going to be an incredible amount of disinformation, and bizarre rabbit hole theories.

MELBA, Idaho — A local rancher has donated a registered Angus heifer that he will sell at auction to raise money for a pending legal battle over an issue industry leaders fear could significantly reduce public lands grazing in the West.
South Mountain Ranch co-owner Matt Duckett hopes to sell the animal several times during his ranch's annual production sale Feb. 11. He will donate the proceeds to help offset legal costs in the so-called Owyhee 68 case.
U.S. District Court Judge B. Lynn Winmill in 1999 ordered the BLM's Owyhee field office in southwestern Idaho to rewrite 68 grazing permits that it renewed in 1997. Winmill's decision to void the permits was the result of a lawsuit by Western Watersheds Project, which argued that the permits weren't properly analyzed according to the National Environmental Policy Act.
The new permits were issued throughout 2013 and in most cases reduce grazing by 30-50 percent, according to Duckett and Idaho Cattle Association officials.
"(Ranchers) basically have to cut their cow herds in half to meet the requirements," Duckett said. "Most businesses can't cut their revenue in half and stay in operation."
The decisions are being appealed by the ICA and Owyhee Cattlemen's Association. WWP is also appealing them and the grazing reductions won't go into effect until the appeals are resolved.
The 68 permits include 120 grazing allotments and affect hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
While the impact to Owyhee ranchers is significant, the BLM's decisions could also set precedence for new grazing permits throughout the West, said ICA Executive Vice President Wyatt Prescott.
Prescott said ICA officials believe BLM reduced grazing to try to avoid litigation from WWP.
"If that is allowed to happen, the BLM could apply that model to many more permit renewals to come," he said. "That's one of the reasons we've taken such a strong stance on this issue."
Heather Feeney, a spokeswoman for BLM's Idaho office, said the agency did not base its decisions on an effort to avoid litigation.
Winmill ruled that the field office didn't adequately analyze the permits under NEPA and ordered it to go back and conduct a NEPA analysis in the process of considering the renewal of the permits, she said.
"That was clear direction," she said. "BLM has to correctly apply federal law. We confidently believe that's what we've done here."
ICA President Jared Brackett said BLM officials did numerous things wrong when re-writing the permits, including not properly considering the economic impact their decisions would have on the region, which is required by federal law.
He said BLM officials also didn't properly analyze requests for improvements that could mitigate some of the agency's concerns.
"This could be so devastating and set a precedence over the entire West," Brackett said. "That's why we felt it was necessary to get involved."
The ranch is located at 13584 State Highway 78 in Melba. For more information, call Duckett at (208) 230-5650.

Nationally ranked singles and doubles players await Lady Bucs
AKRON, Ohio (Feb. 14, 2013) – It may be Valentine's Day weekend, but the ETSU women's tennis team expects little love as it gets set to take on Akron and No. 69 Oregon inside the LaTuchie Tennis Center in Akron, Ohio.
ETSU (2-0) first takes on Akron (3-5) – all five of the Zips' losses coming to ranked opponents – Friday at 1 p.m., followed by undefeated Oregon (7-0) Saturday at 9 a.m.
The dual season began Feb. 3 for the Lady Bucs, where they handily defeated Middle Tennessee State University, 4-1, at the Nashboro Village Athletic Club. ETSU's next match came this past Tuesday, rolling over Liberty, 4-0, on the road in Lynchburg, Va.
The Lady Buccaneers will have their hands full to keep the streak alive.
In its first pair of victories, ETSU has seen senior Antonia Kolovou (Larisa, Greece) walk away victorious in the top singles match, but she will most likely go up against Oregon's Patricia Skowronski who is 7-0 and slotted No. 101 in the ITA singles rankings.
The Lady Bucs have also seen freshman duo Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) and Anna Gerbasi (Caracas, Venezuela) begin the dual season 2-0 in the top doubles spot. Awaiting them are Akron's Prang Pantusart and Angelina Jogasuria, currently ranked No. 43 as a duo by the ITA and riding a six-match winning streak. During the streak, Pantusart and Jogasuria have defeated nationally ranked doubles teams from both Missouri and Princeton, but Choo and Gerbasi have had their own success against the nation's best, defeating Oklahoma State's then-14th ranked team of Malika Rose and Kanyapat Narrattana during the fall.
Newcomers Sofia Espana (Mexico City, Mexico) and Salma Dahbi (Marrakech, Morocco) will look to keep their winning ways alive. As a duo, Espana and Dahbi have won their last two matches. Individually, Espana has won her last two contests while Dahbi sits on a four-match winning streak. Choo holds the team's longest active winning streak, having won her last five singles battles.
Complete match recaps will be available on ETSUBucs.com.

Another F1 figure has defended Sebastian Vettel, after the reigning world champion made a crass observation about his rivals. After getting booed on the podium yet again in Singapore, the Red Bull d...
After getting booed on the podium yet again in Singapore, the Red Bull driver surmised that the detractors are "jealous", and implied that his rivals are not beating him because they are lazy.
"Whilst there's a lot of people hanging their balls in the pool very early on Fridays, we're still here working very hard and pushing very hard," Vettel had said.
His boss, Dr Helmut Marko, said Vettel's comment was "great and pithy, and anyway it's true".
"Seb wants to keep the workload just as high in the team as it has been," said the Austrian.
But even a rival team figure has defended Vettel's crass comment.
"I liked what he said," triple world champion and F1 legend Niki Lauda told Bild newspaper.
"Plain speaking is always good, even if I think that we work just as hard at Mercedes.
"But there is some truth to it; Vettel has a huge ambition and it rubs off on his team," he added.
Lauda also weighed into the debate about Vettel's unpopularity among the fans, recalling that he was also booed during his successful F1 career.
"I was booed brutally in 1977 at Hockenheim," he said, "because the fans saw me as the gravedigger of the Nurburgring because of my accident the year before.
"The fans were outraged even though I couldn't do anything about it (the Nurburgring's fate)," Lauda explained. "But they whistled like crazy anyway."
However, he said the crowd often has a very short memory.
"Then I won the race for Ferrari," said Lauda, "and those who previously booed were cheering just as loudly."

DETROIT -- The record month for Chevrolet Volt sales in August surely pleased General Motors brass, green-car believers and perhaps even the Obama administration.
But the folks at Ourisman Rockmont Chevrolet in Rockville, Md., likely are even happier.
The Washington-area dealership hauled in nearly $100,000 in incentive money from a stair-step program that GM ran for the Volt over the summer.
The promise of all that cash motivated Ourisman's staff to sell 33 Volts in July and August -- vs. just seven during the first six months of the year.
Some quick background: Stair-step programs pay dealers escalating bonuses as they hit factory-set sales targets. Under the Volt program, dealers who tripled their target were paid $2,500 for every Volt they sold.
Ourisman had little trouble breezing past its July-August bogey of seven Volt sales.
"With that kind of money, we could aggressively price the car," the dealership's general manager, Dug Dugger, says.
The store advertised the Volt at $5,000 off the sticker price. Kick in $9,500 in federal and Maryland tax credits, and the plug-in hybrids were going out the door in the mid-$20,000s.
Other factors also helped. About half of Dugger's customers snapped up a special $249-per-month, 24-month lease deal. And gasoline prices were flirting with 4 bucks a gallon.
Now, cynics will point to the incentive program as a desperation play by GM to boost Volt sales.
I see it differently.
Volt owners love the car, more so than owners of other vehicles love theirs, according to a December Consumer Reports survey. And for most Volt owners, the car is the only reason they stepped foot inside a Chevy store.
For GM execs, it's a maddening reality. They believe the Volt is a winner, but the big price tag keeps buyers away.
There's a technology barrier, too. I've found that even auto industry insiders still don't understand the car's extended-range technology, which allows them to drive as many as 38 miles in full electric mode before a small gasoline generator kicks on to power the car's electric motor.
So, here are two incentive plays -- a dealer stair-step and cheap lease -- that ease both of those problems. It puts the car within financial reach for many. And it lets them experience the technology that has current Volt owners bragging to their neighbors.
GM already is losing a bunch of money on the Volt, regardless of the sales total. I don't think it's a bad move for GM to lose a little more to help build its most fervent customer base.

- GNOME#ATI_Catalyst_driver_creates_glitches_and_artifacts - This bug was fixed (http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=408)
I would also like to gather and give a private section to extensions. Currently that information is spread around the article, I think it deserves its own section within this article.
Gnome and fontconfig settings
Since there isn't a section dedicated to fonts in gnome3 I was thinking about writing one, but I put it here first:
Gnome doesn't use the dpi settings set by xorg server to scale fonts, instead it uses a fixed dpi of 96 that cannot be changed unlike previous versions:
/* As we cannot rely on the X server giving us good DPI information, and * that we don't want multi-monitor screens to have different DPIs (thus * different text sizes), we'll hard-code the value of the DPI * * See also: * https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217790• * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643704 */
The gnome-settings-daemon plugin xsettings relies on this hardcoded value for some calculations and there is currently no way of changing it beside customizing the code in abs. The dimension of text can be tweaked changing the text-scaling-factor (1.0 by default), using gnome-tweak-tool or editing the following key in dconf-editor:
The xsettings plugins will also merge some Xft values in the X resources db overwriting values set in .Xresources od .Xdefaults files. The defaults are:
Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault Xft.rgba: none
Some of those values can be changed using dconf-editor (org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings) or gnome-tweak-tool. It is possible to change this values using xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources after gnome is started but gnome will still use its values internally so it is not a good idea.
It is a good idea to configure your fonts.conf in a way consistent with the gnome settings otherwise, at least on my laptop, fonts will looks weird in some gnome apps.
The dpi setting of the Xserver can be changed to 96 following this guide, this way it will be the same for all applications, the drawback is that fonts might look too small or too big in other application if the real DPI of your monitor differs too much from 96.
For and LCD monitor it is a good idea to activate the lcd filter setting the following keys in dconf-editor:
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings.antialiasing rgba org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings.rgba-order rgb, bgr, vrgb or vbgr (as your monitor requires)
Since the lcdfilter is not designed to work together with autohinting it is a good idea to disable it also in fonts.conf. It is also a good idea to use the same hinting value as in your font.conf, the default in gnome is medium:
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings.hinting medium
This values in fonts.conf will match the gnome settings:
<match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="rgba"><const>rgb</const></edit> <edit mode="assign" name="autohint"><bool>false</bool></edit> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"><bool>true</bool></edit> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"><const>hintmedium</const></edit> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"><bool>true</bool></edit> <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter"><const>lcddefault</const></edit> </match>
(to be finished, please comment or fix)
deleted manual hotkeys modification
Manual edit of accel.scm into nautilus config doesn't fit with this page. And this can't be a generic method, cause not every application has an accels.scm file, even if it has that, it's location in ~/.config is not mandatory. 4javier 08:09, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
- It fits with this page just as much as the remaining part on changing hotkeys does because both serve the same purpose. So I disagree with that it should be downright deleted, particularly as for me (thus possibly others) the can-change-accels way did not work. I added it again (a bit more carefully phrased) to the "Troubleshooting" section. -- Misc 15:40, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
- I still think that applications' specific method of changing accels should be mentioned in the application page itself. Into this page I'd leave just a reminder (i.e. "If this method doesn't work see application's wiki page for app specific file"). But I don't delete it anymore until somebody else tell us his opinion. 4javier 20:35, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
- Perhaps update Nautilus and reference it? Perhaps simply add that article to the related articles? --stefanwilkens (talk) 23:33, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Resizing titlebar in user configuration
Should not be better point that sed manipulation to ~/.themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml ? --4javier 07:27, 7 May 2011 (EDT)
- Good idea. Sed is not really needed here. I changed it to direct instruction. --Fengchao (talk) 07:11, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Well done making the edit request more explicit, however I think 4javier was wondering if suggesting a per-user configuration would be more appropriate (~/.themes/... instead of /usr/share/themes/...), reopening this :) I don't use GNOME so I can't test it at the moment. -- Kynikos (talk) 10:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Xmonad section
I think xmonad section should be generalized for every other wm: openbox, fluxbox, ratpoison etc. Is there some gnome3 user who can test the method with other wm than xmonad? --4javier 05:40, 16 May 2011 (EDT)
You must install the gnome group
This sentence is written in bold characters in the Installation section. I don't agree: I really don't want to install Epiphany in my system and I really don't want install gnome-applets in my system. These (and others) are not fundamental components of the Gnome DE, so IMHO they have to be moved in gnome-extra or their function has to be explained in the wiki, so people can choose which of them install. What you think about it? Mons 04:53, 29 December 2011 (EST)
- Definitely, that section must be rewritten in a more neutral way, giving the readers all the information they need to make their own unbiased decisions. It should also make use of Template:Grp to provide quick links to the package lists (gnome, gnome-extra - unfortunately this template is i686-centric) and should avoid giving examples of how to install (groups of) packages with pacman, in accordance to Help:Style#Official packages. -- Kynikos 06:44, 30 December 2011 (EST)
- Surely that bold line is only there to indicate that pulling gnome-extra doesn't pull gnome in its entirety. The wording is a bit shady, the intent is correct?--stefanwilkens (talk) 23:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
- The intent is indeed correct, in fact I've already reworded the sentence. The problem with Help:Style#Official packages remains though, and I haven't been able to fix it because I don't know how to rewrite the "Choose which applications..." sentence or if it's needed at all, since for the time being I cannot test the installation of GNOME. -- Kynikos (talk) 12:45, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- This is an improvement. Additionally, I don't think we have to explain to users that they can cherry pick applications from a group. gnome-extra mostly contains things like archive managers, webcam tools and media players. Perhaps we could do by eplaining the group contents a little and leaving it at that. This would also allow the article to be in Help:Style and lets us get rid of both Pacman statements.
- How do you like this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User_talk:Stefanwilkens
- --stefanwilkens (talk) 11:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've added my attempt in your talk page, however you seem to be more active in this article than me, so just choose the version you like more :) I too think that explaining that it's possible to install packages from a group separately is a bit useless, however GNOME is also often installed by Linux novices (who shouldn't use Arch btw :P ) so, again, you make the final decision about that; also the idea of describing the contents of the groups, maybe mentioning (and linking to) some of the most important packages seems interesting, IIRC that's what the old GNOME 2 article did.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 15:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- I like your modification and I still feel that instructions on cherry picking applications from groups doesn't belong in this article. I'm replacing the section and moving on to the next. Thanks for your time and input :) --stefanwilkens (talk) 20:15, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Add link to official extensions site
I think to add a link to extensions.gnome.org, also in order to easy manage the extensions in the browser from the /local page. --Gimmy 05:22, 23 January 2012 (EST)
- Link added, this probably deserves a section of its own now that extensions play such a vital role in GNOME. A future rewrite / restructure of this article may be needed. --stefanwilkens (talk) 23:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Remove systemd configuration from 'Some 'System Settings' no preserved' section
I think that part of the 'Some 'System Settings' no preserved' section regarding switching to systemd should be removed and replaced with a link to systemd wiki. Systemd wiki explains migration more thoroughly and shows how to configure and administrate it.

New Bin Delivery
12/07/2018 10:10:00......Posted by Yvette Hopley
The new bins are being rolled out in Sanderstead this week. Do ensure you read the instructions attached to the bin and let the council know if you haven't received your new bins. Any problems or issues of course your local Sanderstead team are here to help.
Fly Tip Bins with Asbestos
14/09/2018 16:21:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
Despite numerous emails to the council it appears they are unable to collect the asbestos that has been dumped at the corner of Briton Hill Road and Arkwright Road on the green. This is a hazardous material and needs careful removal by a specialist contractor. Many residents have contacted me worrying about the dust and particles blowing in the wind and young children who may be impacted passing this on the way to school. Other waste has also been deposited in the bins adding to the problem. Whilst the council have promised to send someone to deal with this two weeks have now passed since the arrival of this waste and no apparent action has taken place. I find this quite worrying. Surely this is urgent.
Recycling Boxes
05/09/2018 10:36:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
The council have agreed to collect the old recycling boxes from residents who have been given wheelie bins. Once the new collection has started old recycling boxes which have been replaced by larger bins will be taken away.
Residents who want the old recycling box collected should empty them and leave them at the front of their property on Monday 24 September. The lids should be placed inside the empty boxes. The boxes will then be collected over the next two weeks.
All residents should receive their new bins before the collection begins but if this does not happen please continue to use your old bins as you had previously.
75% of homes across the borough now have a new collection day. You can check your collection day online.If your new bins have not yet arrived you can contact our dedicated email address firstname.lastname@example.com or call 020 8604 7282 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday
How to handle the bin change over
03/09/2018 09:09:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
The Sanderstead councillors have been in pretty much constant contact with officers over the bin changeover (and the woeful service in the weeks leading up to it).
Today is changeover day and that means you should be putting out the new containers from today. It also means you may well have a different collection day. In theory every resident should have had a leaflet setting out their new schedule, but this clearly hasn't always worked (I didn't get a leaflet in my home, for example).
If you are online you can check your new colection schedule using the Croydon 'My Account', for which you will need to have registered for an account (this is instant, so you can do it now if you haven't already).
I understand that this week Veolia will collect from the old containers if that's what a resident puts out, but that's for this week only. Unfortunately they didn't use that sensible approach last week, when many residents were conned by the hanging tag on their bin the week before telling them to now use the new containers. What the council meant by that was 'in two weeks time you'll use this bin for plastic/cans but next week it's paper in the box as usual', but unfortunately it was not at all clear and as a result many residents put the paper out in the new blue bin, which Veolia duly ignored.
I also brought to officers' attention that the web site was stilll refering in words and pictures for colllecting boxes this week, as nobody had remebered to update that! I believe this has now been corrected.
Unfortunately I suspect that the number of calls is not going to go down - not least because some residents are STILL trying to get the council to deliver their new bins, which are the only thing they will colllect from from now on. It's going to be a fun-filled fortniight!
Waste Services - Change of System
31/08/2018 17:17:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
As residents in Sanderstead will be aware the system of collecting are waste and recycling is changing. I have included part of an email from the director of services which may be of help if residents experience problems.
"As with all service changes of this magnitude in the initial weeks of the new service, it is anticipated there will be disruption and missed collections. Veolia have resources in place to ensure this is kept to a minimum. However, residents will be reminded via social media messages and the FAQ section on the website to report any missed collections under the new service via the normal reporting processes or via the postcode lookup page www.croydon.gov.uk/waste-recycling-collection. Please do not use the dedicated telephone lines or the waste services email address.
I have also taken the opportunity of including the link to the council's web site where you can find full details regarding the new service.
I would also like to remind you the dedicated telephone number and email address for residents to contact council officers about their specific circumstances is operational, we have seen a rise in the number of calls over this week, the operator are coping with call volumes but during peak periods of the day residents may find it difficult to get through.
The details for these are:
Update on wheelie bin rollout
17/07/2018 07:46:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Council officers have today updated councillors about the progress towards the new 'improved' bin collection service.
Most Sanderstead houses have received their bins now, as we know from our postbag of residents asking where they are supposed to put this explosion of bins! I won't rehearse the arguments for and (mostly) against what is being done, save to say that in my opinion the council could have gone for a much more elegant combined recycling bin solution which would have reduced the number of bins required.
There are various questions people have been asking, where I have pasted below the council's response, some of which I have shortened.
Where can residents go for more information?• The website contains information about the service change, leaflets to download and a comprehensive list of FAQs – www.croydon.gov.uk/recyclingResidents wishing to discuss their individual circumstances further can contact a council officer using:• a dedicated email - firstname.lastname@example.com• a dedicated phone number – 020 8604 7282 (lines open between 9am and 5pm)
The dedicated telephone number and mailbox went live on Thursday 28 June. These are attracting on average 650 calls and 400 email per week and about a third of these are requesting site visits. About 150 site visits have been undertaken to date with approximately one third of these suggesting the properties are not suitable for the new service identified and therefore, will continue with their current configuration.
What can I do with my old boxes if I no longer need them after September?You will need to continue to use your boxes until September. After this, you can keep them and use them around the home for storage, or take them to the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre at Fishers Farm, Factory Lane or Purley Oaks and place them in with the 'rigid plastics'. We will be offering a booked collection service for residents who need it once the new service starts in September - more details to follow.
What if I don't have space for the new bins?We have surveyed the borough and will be delivering the best combination of bins for different property types depending on the different space available. Please note that the footprint of the new bins is approximately the same as the boxes, so if you currently have the boxes for recycling your property will most probably be suitable for wheeled bins. Please try using the service for a few weeks. If you're genuinely struggling to find space to store the bins, get in touch with us and we'll visit your property to assess and, if necessary, make alternative arrangements.
What if I don't have space to store the new bins until I can use them? Please deliver them later.With more than 200,000 new bins to distribute across the borough, this is going to take some time and some people may have to store their bins for up to eight weeks. We are trying to deliver bins first to areas of the borough where houses generally have more outdoor space. We're sorry for any inconvenience.
I don't need such large bins for recycling, can I have a smaller one or continue to use boxes?The changes we are making are designed to encourage more recycling and to create enough capacity for this both now and in the future. For this reason we chose the 240L bin for paper and card and to re-use the existing general waste wheelie bin for other mixed recycling. Standardising the use of wheelie bins as much as possible improves efficiency and helps to generate the £5m cost savings from introducing the new contract, as well as the additional £2m over 10 years for increasing recycling rates.
What if all of my general waste cannot fit inside the new 180L wheelie bin?From October 2018, excess general waste placed on top of or next to your bin will not be collected. All non-recyclable household waste must be placed inside the general waste wheelie bin and the lid kept shut. However, if you live in a household of five or more, or have a medical condition that means you generate additional rubbish, you may be eligible for a larger bin. We recommend that residents wait until the new service is running and they have tried using it for a few weeks before making contact.
What consultation took place about the changes?Specific consultation on the detail of the new contract wasn't possible due to the way the new contract was procured by the four boroughs under the South London Waste Partnership.
Road works in Hamsey Green
17/07/2018 07:23:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Essex utilities on behalf of Southern Gas Networks have begun their scheme to replace gas mains in the area between Wentworth Way and the borough boundary at Tithe Pitt Shaw Lane. In order to enable these works there will be side road closures and temporary lights on Limpsfield Road. The lights will be manually controlled through the peak flows. Letter drops and advanced warning for affected residents have apparently taken place. Any works that remain after the school holiday can only continue if their existence has no impact on the carriageway or pedestrians.
Whilst these works are ongoing, it was highlighted recently that it is necessary for other works to take place on Surrey Councils side of the border, namely Wentworth Road junction with Tithe Pitt Shaw Lane. Council officers have agreed these works, on the understanding temporary lights at the junction are delayed until after the works on Limpsfield and surrounding roads are completed.
Sanderstead Residents Association - Waitrose - 4 August - 10am
12/07/2018 10:13:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
Sanderstead Residents Association will be on hand at Waitrose between 10 and 12pm on Saturday, 4 August. Members will available to talk to residents about the good work they carry out in the area and assistance they give in relation to a number of local concerns. They work very closely with the councillors who jointly support numerous issues ranging from planning applications to organising events. Established in 1926 The Sanderstead Ratepayers' Association was formed, later to be known as the Sanderstead Residents' Assocication. Denis King, the chairman and his team will be happy to support you. Membership is only £5 for which you receive two colour magazines posted to your doorstep and access to the committee's expertise.
A New Bus Seat at Sanderstead Recreation Ground Bus Stop
11/07/2018 10:14:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
A number of elderly residents contacted the local councillors asking if a seat could be installed by the bus stop at Sanderstead Recreation Ground. In this particularly warm weather it is good to have the opportunity to take a little rest whilst waiting for the 403. I am pleased that the local councillors have been able to fund a new bench for residents from their community budget.
New Crossing - Addington Road
03/07/2018 21:17:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I am pleased to inform you that the proposed works for an informal crossing on Addington Road by the junction with Harbledown Road is due to start on Monday 30th July until 5th August. Hopefully this won't cause too much disruption and will of course improve the safety of crossing this very busy road.
Possible New Gym in Hamsey Green
28/06/2018 14:51:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
We have received the following correspondence from the planning department in relation to the use of the ground floor at the new development, next door to the Co-op If you have any queries or would like to lodge comments please do so and refer to Application: 18/02393/FUL Location: 359 - 367 Limpsfield Road, South Croydon, CR2 9BY. Details of Application: Use of ground floor commercial unit as gym (Class D2) with opening hours 6am-9pm Monday to Friday.
The council details are: Phone: 020 8726 6800 Email: email@example.com
The letter from the commercial agency states:
RE: Commercial Unit at Limpsfield Road Croydon CR2
We act on behalf of the Landlord, Queensbury Investments Ltd, of the ground floor commercial element of the above scheme, and confirm that we have exchanged an Agreement to Lease with a tenant, which is subject to the hours of use being varied as per the planning application which you have submitted on behalf of our mutual client. You have asked for some further background information, which we can confirm as follows:
The commercial unit benefits from a range of uses, A1, A2, A3, D1, D2 & B1. The unit has been marketed extensively for over 9 months by our company and 2 other agents, James Commercial and Stile Harold Williams.
Due to the unit forming part of a residential led mixed use scheme, the lease restricts a number of activities / operations from taking place to ensure that the use is compatible with the residential element. Therefore, whilst the planning uses are wide, the actual uses permitted by the freeholder is more restrictive.
Efforts were made to secure a convenience store, however the neighbouring Co-Op is too dominant and none of their competitors wished to take a store.
We were delighted to receive interest from the proposed tenant, as this is a very compatible use for the wider scheme, and we have worked with them to design the fit out of what will be a fantastic addition to the area.
HARD Fitness is a well-established, goal specific personal training facility, delivering professional level fitness, hydration and nutritional education to private clients. They operate under brands HARD Fitness & Dynamo Boxing.
They currently operate from two locations in East Grinstead and Central Croydon, and due to success and ongoing demand, are opening a third site at the subject property, which would be branded as HARD Fitness.
The existing site in East Grinstead forms part of a mixed-use development with residential accommodation above, and the use has worked well and compliments the overall development.
The new unit will be fitted out to a high quality including all necessary sound insulation, and will operate between the hours of 6am - 9pm on Monday to Friday.
Sessions are carried out by private appointment only, and typically there will be no more than 10 people within the premises at any one time. The premises has 7 dedicated parking spaces ensuring that there is no impact on local parking / transport.
The planning application to vary the opening hours to 6am as appose to 7am is to allow appointments to take place before clients go to work, and this is typical of this type of operation, and is essential for the business to be competitive with other similar businesses.
The intention is to be ready to open the facility in line with practical completion of the development in October 2018.
As a gesture of goodwill, HARD Fitness are pleased to offer a complimentary session to each household within the new scheme.
We can confirm that extensive consultation has taken place with Optivo Housing Association, who are the freeholder to the wider scheme, who are supportive of the use on the basis that it would be compatible with their overall development.
We feel that HARD Fitness will be an excellent addition to the overall scheme, being a highly compatible neighbour and one which promotes well-being and health.
All parties are keen to see this happen, providing the hours of use can be changed to suit the operational requirements of the Tenant.
Yours sincerely,
Yours Sincerely,
Joe Goldsmith Commercial Agency email@example.com.
The site is right next door to Hamsey Green Pond which is not looking its best. We hope to work with the contractor to improve the biodiversity of the pond which needs de-silting.

Of course
Of course it was. It was silver and big, it was the opposite of subtle, it was a princess at the ball – it was Kate Beckinsale who can never manage to scale it back… ever.
This is Kate on the carpet last night at the TIFF screening of Nothing But The Truth. She looked lovely, yes. And she's a pretty woman, yes. But I'm telling you… no matter how spectacular the dress, no matter how stunning the hair, at the end of the day, it's just Kate Beckinsale. Like she hits a limit and she can't climb above it. She's always 85%. Period.
We saw her last night at the Hyatt roof lounge after hours. She was still wearing this thing, popping in and out for ciggies in the rain, looking very concerned about her hair. Maybe that's what it is. The fact that she cares so obviously, that she cares so hard the concentration overshadows the rest. That's Kate Beckinsale.
In case you were curious though - her husband (wee) is actually better looking in person.
