More legal drama for Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi as she is now being sued by her former business partner & make-up artist RonAnn Meyers.
The DBKP blog reports both Gretchen and boyfriend/rumored fiance Slade Smiley are being sued by RonAnn to the tune of over $100,000 in damages. The reason? RonAnn is accusing the twosome of defrauding her and cutting her out of the Gretchen Christine Beaute makeup line.
In the 37-page lawsuit filed on April 13, 2011, RonAnn accuses Gretchen, 33, and Slade, 42, of 'breach of oral contract', 'fraud/deceit', 'fraudulent conspiracy' amongst other wrong doings.
RonAnn, who appeared on season five of the OC Housewives as Gretchen's makeup artist and business partner, reveals she had been both Gretchen's friend and personal makeup artist for seven years.
According to RonAnn, she came up with the idea of starting a makeup line in February 2009 and Gretchen "expressed an immediate interest" in becoming her business partner. Both ladies agreed to a partnership that was a 50/50 deal in ownership, control, and profits.
If you recall, it came out last year that Gretchen Christine Beaute was simply the resale of wholesale makeup ordered from Lady Burd, a private label manufacturer. RonAnn also claims she was the one who had a long established relationship with Lady Burd.
Ultimately, RonAnn alleges Gretchen and Slade cut her out of the loop, and negotiated a deal with Lady Burd Cosmetic's New York office. Gretchen and Slade also allegedly omitted RonAnn's name from certain business filings and financial documents. RonAnn states in the lawsuit that she and Gretchen each deposited $5,000 into a joint business account but at a later date, Gretchen cleared out the remaining $2100 in the account without informing her.
We reported back in March of 2010 about the drama involving Gretchen Christine Beaute after it was first discovered the makeup was simply relabeled wholesale makeup from Lady Burd, and that Slade's name was on the company's paypal account being used for website sales. Not only was Gretchen reselling wholesale make-up but she neglected to change the names of the shades, using the same exact photos and names for her eyeshadow collection.
And on tonight's all new episode of the OC Housewives titled "Riches to Rags," Vicki visits Tamra at her new house to gossip about the rumors surrounding the Bellino's possible home foreclosure. Gretchen is upset that all the men in her life are fat, both the dogs and Slade. Vicki and Donn try to spend some quality time together by going to the spa, but things get uncomfortable when the conversation turns awkward at dinner.
The episode airs at 10/9c. A preview clip is below.
Watch What Happens Live – The guests tonight will be Tamra Barney and beau Eddie Judge.

For those who have been keeping their Macs up to date with Apple's pantheon of exotic felines, upgrading to Mountain Lion should be fairly straightforward, require less than an hour (not including download time) and cost about $20. But, for Macs still running Leopard, the upgrade might cost ten times that amount and take several days to complete.
Here are some of the pitfalls that might await unsuspecting service technicians as they attempt to move to Mac OS X 10.8, aka Mountain Lion. For machines that already have Mac OS X Lion, skip to slide 3.

Fiji is a very anti-Gay place. I love diving, and traveling the world, but that's one place I would avoid. Go to Tahiti and it's beautiful islands instead!

^I'm unable to understand one single word of what you just said. Medaka is rather legit. A disgraceful main would be someone like Ichigo from Bleach, the worst shounen with the worst hero I've ever read.
But I won't further enter in these comparisons.

@Kurusu You hate Ichigo? Granted, I'm not a huge fan of him either, but I wouldn't say he's the worst hero i've ever read.
Throwing my two cents regarding Medaka Box overall, I think part of the problem is that as a parody and deconstruction, it does have to take a specific route. Medaka's parody of the shonen hero is merely one kind of shonen hero. Even as one of the most prevalent kinds of heroes, a hero or protagonist isn't something which can be easily pigeonholed, so sometimes it verges on shallow parody. Yes, being the main character affords certain privileges(since it is their story), but there's really no guarantee what kind of story they get.
I view Medaka and Zenkichi as something of a deconstruction and reconstruction of heroic archetypes. Medaka has been endowed with a lot as a protagonist, being near invincible, talented in everything, and by the end of the series has learned empathy. But gradually she realizes that she doesn't really have a concrete goal that's truly hers so has to search for it. Zenkichi embodies the hard-working character without natural talent, who may never take the spotlight but has his own victories, and gradually becomes someone who can support others in addition to Medaka.

[QUOTE=Kurusu-Shirudo;4576346]More than him I hate the series as a whole.
"Ichigo, your mother is a quincy!!!111"
I kind of get annoyed by him since he seems to mainly go between moping(I couldn't protect!) or blood knight, where it gets hard for me to really sympathize with him; the former because he really doesn't address the people he's trying to protect, or how they feel. I know he's the Jerk with the Heart of Gold but sometimes I just find him too prideful(alright enough about Bleach).

While making Medaka terrible does seem to have been the author's intention, and that definitely serves as an explanation, it will not always serve as an excuse or justification, as a user in another forum once posted.
While making her dislikeable does serve to make the characters around her, mainly Heat with whom she currently clashes with most as seen in their ways of dealing with the Ultimate Destroyer, feel more dynamic and interesting and relatable, it's unknown if Nishio knows the amount of disdain that this has bred for Medaka in the fanbase. No-one wants to follow a story about a character who is unrelatable, boring, who can do anything through virtue of her overpowering, Mary Sue personality(her skill).
And I'll admit, while even the next chapter does preview with "What is Zenkichi up to now", meaning obviously Nishio intends, yet again, to contrast recent events, It wasn't worth it for some readers from the start because they had to follow an unlikeable protagonist, but for some people, it was.
For me? Hm. I kinda identify with the "not worth it" group, because it is pretty grating to read sometimes.
Not that it's a bad gimmick, one has to recognize it's usefulness and effect, but I think the story would be fine without it.

Oh, don't misunderstand.
Nishio knows exactly what his intentions were for the Medaka character, he knows the kind of beast he has created, it's just not clear if he understands the depth of the contempt he wanted to create. It's pretty clear through the manga that he intended for Medaka to be terrible/disliked, just look at the most recent poll. He uses her as a vortex for shounen tropes and people's frustrations with them as a method of contrast to her peers, her side characters.
"Side-characters" is a term I use loosely, though, because they're really the meat and fat of the manga, as far as content goes.
And through use of that contrast, Nishio makes his side-characters look and seem more dynamic and interesting. Yes, it's sort of cheap, but it's a trick that works to great effect.
The question he has to ask himself, though, is if it was worth it, or still is. For some, it never was, but for others, the trick still plays to great use. It's Nishio's "Status Quo", if you will. Current events clearly are either building up to another contrast event, or the actual elimination of that plot device altoguether. Namely, killing off Medaka. I, for one, would enjoy seeing what a story like that would play out. Maybe it's a chance for Nishio to put even more effort into his characters, good as they already are, now that he might not have that almighty vortex of shounen Mary-Sueness to aid him.
And yes, I'm mostly parafrasing people off other forums(mostly NF), I'm not a plagiarist! But I really have to give credit where credit is due when someone catches on to something.

I seriously doubt the only thing he intended people to hold Medaka in the sort of seething contempt you have of her, certainly we aren't intended to always agree with her, but we're supposed to think why we don't agree with her, not to blindly hate her.

Wolfenstein, I honestly think that likability is an iffy factor to judge upon. I know you feel that the way the series plays with tropes doesn't change the fact that certain characters may be presented as unlikable, but it's a matter of cogs in the overall story. I guess in the end we do have to separate our character preferences and plot preferences with the execution of the story and the way it makes us think.

Very disappointed with medaka,she didn't say her last good bye to zen and was flirting with kumagawa.What a Bitch,she should remain dead haha
I'm getting tired of this manga,the moon stuff was just stupid.
Sorry medaka fans,but that's my opinion.

But...I've never seen such a collected opinion on the fact that a character was meant to be terrible in a single fanbase.
I mean, she's definitely not supposed to be the character you cheer for. Let's type in "Medaka Box character popularity poll" on google and see what the first non-jump result yields us:
46 - Misogi(understandable)
27 - Heat(understandable)
6 - Medaka(understandable?)
5 - Others
That's a...pretty glaring disparity there. Even worst counting the fact the poor gal already lost top-three position in Japan. Maybe this was Nishio's plan. I mean, certainly could be given how his use of the character dosen't actually change much at all from the beguinning of the manga where she explicitly and undoubtedly was made the Mother of all Sue's, to later be deconstructed in the Election year(though admittedly, with very little results shown).
Maybe he's rectifying a mistake or just concluding his plan now. After all, this ending was incredibly out-of-the-blue and rushed.
What I mean is: to most, the side-characters are what makes and breaks the manga. People read Medaka Box for Misogi and Heat(the majority at least), for Naze, for Shiranui, for Tsurubami, for Ajimu, for Emukae, for Kei, and most importantly, for Nienami. I'm sure some people read the Manga singlulary for it's seeming protagonist, though, not saying those don't exist.
You kinda see what I'm getting at, don't you? She's, at the very least, not the kind of protagonist designed to be more relatable/likeable than her supporting cast.
To me, It's more like Medaka's cog, her usefulness, is that she elevates the characters near her. I can recognize and respect that she does, indeed, have a use to the story, but it's a sort of gimmicky form of story-telling that I think was never really nescessary.
Sure, it's just a hypothesis. but you must admit: it's pretty darn interesting one, when you think about it.

And somewhat. I understand why he does it, but I don't think it's nescessary. Anymore. At the very least, I'm sure we all wonder what the manga's story would be like without her.

Medaka (as is portrayed) is very heterogeneous throughout the manga.
There is an arc (call them romcom arc's) - where she's cute and nice girl.
For example the top of this: Jet Black Bride Arc.
A character ruined for the sake of shounen trolling.
Or trolling romcom fans (if you look on the other side).

Well, you catch the drift.
People don't really enjoy the manga's protagonist alot. Mostly, they do enjoy Misogi. Secondly, I'd guess would either be Ajimu or Zenkichi, or Naze. Then you'd get to the other interesting characters, like Bami, Emukae, Shiranui, Kei, among others.
I don't think it's a coincidence that I first liked Zen, then I liked Misogi. I think that's a desired effect.

In my opinion the root of "problem" in mix of genres.
In terms of a romantic comedy, this arc is superfluous.
In general, history was completed on previous arc.
Promise to marry each other - is usually the final of stories.
Further continue nowhere - only afterwords ... It has been many years ... happy family and a lot of children.
Although one possible option: promise ... all good ... internal problems ... break (drama) ... reunion

Great American Smokeout takes place Nov. 15
November 13, 2012
The Great American Smokeout's goal is to motivate smokers to quit using tobacco, while also raising awareness about effective quit techniques and programs. An estimated 46 million adults in the United States smoke and approximately half will die prematurely from smoking.
In Klawock, the SEARHC Tobacco Program will host an informational display at the Alicia Roberts Medical Center with information about the Great American Smokeout.
In Sitka, health educators from the Sitka Tobacco Quit Program and the Sitka School District "Kick It" Program will host an informational booth from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15, at the AC/Lakeside grocery store. This booth will provide information about the tobacco cessation program, the dangers of secondhand smoke, and details about the Great American Smokeout. Former smokers are encouraged to tell their personal quitting-tobacco stories to Dan Etulain, who will air the interviews on his local television station.
The Sitka Tobacco Quit Program is open to all Sitka residents. This program is funded through collaboration between SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) and Sitka Community Hospital. The program offers one year of quit coaching and three months of free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products, such as gum, lozenges and patches. According to the U.S. Public Health Service, tobacco users are six times more likely to quit with behavioral support and NRT products than when they try to quit "cold turkey."

Writer Mark Bowden sits down with Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid to watch film from a classic football game, the 1958 NFL championship game. At several points during the session, 1958 football and contemporary football don't even seem like the same game. Perhaps the biggest disparity is the difference in pay:
Most pro players in the 1950s held down full-time jobs off the field. Huff was a salesman for the textile company J. P. Stevens. Unitas and many of his teammates worked at Bethlehem Steel. Art Donovan, the Colts' hilarious defensive tackle known as Fatso, was a liquor salesman. Most of the men earned less than $10,000 a year playing football. The highest-paid stars made between $15,000 and $20,000 — enough to support a middle-class lifestyle in 1958, but nothing like today's hefty paychecks. Players who took off from their full-time jobs to play were often expected to make up the time by working long hours in the off-season.

Trying to impede a boycott of its "Ender's Game" movie sparked by anti-gay-marriage remarks made by the book's author, Lionsgate has issued a statement distancing itself from novelist Orson Scott Card. The studio also said it will host an "Ender's Game" benefit for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community.
Set for release Nov. 1, the sci-fi story adapts Card's 1985 novel, set in a near future in which an alien race known as the Formics have attacked Earth. The movie stars Asa Butterfield as Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, a bright boy recruited to help humanity face future threats, and is directed by Gavin Hood ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine").
Although the novel is revered by many, Card's political views have stirred great controversy. The writer has a history of making comments opposed to same-sex marriage, and his recent remarks about the Supreme Court's ruling in the Defense of Marriage Act prompted the gay rights organization Geeks Out to call for a boycott of "Ender's Game."
"However much you may have admired his books, keep your money out of Orson Scott Card's pockets," the group said.
Card repeatedly has spoken and written about his opposition to gay rights and gay marriage. He has been active in the National Organization for Marriage, which recently wrote to supporters, "If we do not fight back against these governmental attacks on our fundamental right to act in the public square in support of the truth of marriage as God created it, then none of our cherished liberties and rights are safe."
Writing in 1990, Card said, "Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books, not to be indiscriminately enforced against anyone who happens to be caught violating them, but to be used when necessary to send a clear message that those who flagrantly violate society's regulation of sexual behavior cannot be permitted to remain as acceptable, equal citizens within that society."
In the Mormon Times in 2009, he wrote, "Married people attempting to raise children with the hope that they, in turn, will be reproductively successful, have every reason to oppose the normalization of homosexual unions."

In its statement released Friday, Lionsgate said, "As proud longtime supporters of the LGBT community, champions of films ranging from 'Gods and Monsters' to 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' and a company that is proud to have recognized same-sex unions and domestic partnerships within its employee benefits policies for many years, we obviously do not agree with the personal views of Orson Scott Card and those of the National Organization for Marriage."
At the same time, the studio asked that moviegoers not conflate the politics of Card, who is a producer of "Ender's Game," with the movie itself.
"The simple fact is that neither the underlying book nor the film itself reflect these views in any way, shape or form. On the contrary, the film not only transports viewers to an entertaining and action-filled world, but it does so with positive and inspiring characters who ultimately deliver an ennobling and life-affirming message. Lionsgate will continue its longstanding commitment to the LGBT community by exploring new ways we can support LGBT causes and, as part of this ongoing process, will host a benefit premiere for 'Ender's Game.'"
In an earlier statement to Entertainment Weekly, Card said, "Now it will be interesting to see whether the victorious proponents of gay marriage will show tolerance toward those who disagreed with them when the issue was still in dispute…. 'Ender's Game' is set more than a century in the future and has nothing to do with political issues that did not exist when the book was written in 1984."

All four wheels, rims removed from 3 city cars
September 27. 2013 2:30PM
MANCHESTER — The owners of three cars in the city found their cars on blocks in their driveways Wednesday, the wheels and rims gone.
The first report was about 6 a.m. when a 171 Candia Road resident found his 2013 Toyota Camry set upon stacked bricks. The five-spoke, low-profile sport wheels had been removed from the vehicle.
About 9:15 a.m., two similar incidents were reported. At 30 Sentinel Court, all four tires and rimes were removed from a 2013 Honda Civic.
At 471 Silver St., the tires and rims of a 2008 Honda Accord were taken, the vehicle left elevated on large rocks.
Police said that, over the last several months, "there has been a notable rise of thefts involving wheels," both stock and after-market.
The Manchester Police Department Auto Theft Unit recommends that vehicle owners place identifiers, such as engravings, on their wheels to deter thefts and help identify and recover wheels from thieves.
Police are continuing to investigate.

Reynold's Review: 'Man of Steel'
Let me begin by saying that you may get something completely different from Man of Steel than I did. I am a lifelong comic book reader and fan and also, a lifelong Superman fan. I expect things from a Superman movie that the general moviegoer or fan of superhero movies may not. Please keep that in mind when you read my review.
The Good
Casting: Russel Crowe, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Lawrence Fishburne. These are actors who have proven their talent time and again. Joining them are younger and not as well known actors like Michael Shannon as General Zod and, of course, Henry Cavill as Superman. The multitalented Amy Adams is Lois Lane. Every actor does a great job in their roles. There are other actors in the film, of course, and they do great work in supporting the main players.
Story: There's a great, never-before-seen on the big screen Superman story in Man of Steel. It's intelligent and multi-layered. It's heavy on science fiction, but again, Superman has always been a science fiction character. He was the first superhero, but his roots were in the science fiction literature of the 1920s and 30s.
Action/Special Effects: The original Christopher Reeve Superman movie had the tagline "You'll believe a man can fly." In Man of Steel, you'll believe a man can fly and perform feats of epic action the likes of which had not been seen before in a superhero movie. Even "The Avengers" doesn't compare to the pure spectacle on display in this film. The fights, the rescues, the devastation, it's all on a scale that is truly awe-inspiring.
The Bad
Weak performances: I know I said the casting is great, but an actor can only do as much as the script or the director allows him or her to do. I don't know which is at fault, but some of the performances, especially Kevin Costner's, feels lifeless. The same is true of a few other performances in the film, and the weakness of these roles (for example, Superman's birth mother, Lara) is enough to pull you out of the movie.
Too Much Action: As a huge comic book and action movie fan, I can't believe I'm saying there's too much action, but it's the case in Man of Steel. You can overdo the action and spectacle to the point that the story and tone of the movie suffers, and I feel that's what happens here. There's no time for Superman or his supporting characters to slow down and process the epic, world-changing events they're a part of because they have to move from action scene to action scene. I don't need to see Superman talking to a psychiatrist or writing in his diary, but it would have been nice to have a few quieter moments.
Out of character moments: I'm going to touch on this again in a big way when I get to "the ugly," but I'll mention a few of these moments here. Some characters don't act like they should in this film. Granted, the creators of Man of Steel were going for a "reinvention" of Superman and his world, but if it ain't broke, etc. A few examples include Superman's adopted father instilling more fear in his son with regard to his powers than hope and encouragement, and Superman giving in to revenge and pettiness in the course of the film. Superman isn't perfect and he's been raised as a human, but there are things he just doesn't do. Which brings me to…
The Ugly:
Why so serious?: I borrow this line from the Joker in The Dark Knight because it applies to Man of Steel. This is a movie without any joy or sense of wonder. There is a brief moment that sees Superman enjoy flying, and that's it. The rest of the time, his powers are a burden to him. There's also never any sense of amazement and joy in this movie. The creators wanted to show a "realistic" reaction of people today to aliens like Superman existing. Do they really have such a dour, bleak view of humanity?
Super-who?: Through what seems to be countless interviews, the creators behind Man of Steel have repeated the mantra that "we're reinventing Superman." The problem with this is that you can go too far and end up deconstructing a character to the point that what makes them and their world interesting is no longer intact. I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, but there are classic elements of the Superman story that are completely undone in this movie. After letting the viewing sink in, I asked myself, "What's left to do?" There's not much of the classic Superman story left to explore. Not only that, but there was even a hesitance in the film to use the name "Superman." It's only said once in the whole movie. Once.
Super-dark: There are certain things certain characters just never do. It's completely against who and what they are. I will tell you that Superman does certain things in this film that Superman doesn't do. Ever. I can give you one example without spoiling the film: when the action really kicks up with the invasion of Earth by the other Kryptonians, there is damage and destruction on a scale that's never been seen in a superhero movie before. Superman has always been the character who goes out of his way to protect innocent people during fights with his super-villains. But not in this movie. I have to think thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of people die in this film and Superman doesn't do much to try and save them by taking the super-battles away from them.
The last two offenses in this category are the deal-breakers for me. I can't say what they are, but I will say they ruined the film for me. Superman behaving in this way is so out of character and so unnecessary that I really don't know why the creators of the movie bothered to make this a Superman movie.
Overall: I think fans of superhero movies and spectacular special effects will enjoy Man of Steel. If you're looking for awe-inducing action and spectacle, this is your movie. If you believe there should be more to a superhero movie than that, you will be disappointed. And if you share even one notion of who Superman is and should be that I do, you will leave this movie feeling cheated and even a little sad.

Background and Goals: The sequence MATH 115-116-215 is the standard complete introduction to the concepts and methods of calculus. It is taken by the majority of students intending to concentrate in mathematics, science, or engineering as well as students heading for many other fields. The emphasis is on concepts and solving problems rather than theory and proof. All sections are given a uniform midterm and final exam.
Content: The course presents the concepts of calculus from three points of view:
Students will develop their reading, writing and questioning skills. Topics include functions and graphs, derivatives and their applications to real-life problems in various fields, and definite integrals. The classroom atmosphere is interactive and cooperative and homework is done in groups.
Subsequent Courses: MATH 116 (Calculus II) is the natural sequel. A student who has done very well in this course could enter the Honors sequence at this point by taking MATH 186 (Honors Anal. Geom. and Calc. II).

Ive got one of these for winter commuting and it's hasn't let ms down yet. I bought it on the bike to work scheme and hardly noticed the cost of it. Will pay for itself pretty quick if you're swapping 2 wheels for 4.
Carrera's Gryphon is the kind of bike that sells in big numbers in the UK, and for good reason. It's a well-balanced urban machine that's sensibly built and very well specced for the price. £370 isn't pocket money but it's very affordable. This bike would cost you around £20 a month on a Cycle to Work scheme and it's built to last, so if you're looking for an urban workhorse it's definitely one to consider.
Halfords sell a lot of bikes so they have buying power, and the fact that Carrera is their own brand saves them some margin. That's reflected in the spec of the Gryphon, which is definitely a step above most of the competing bikes at this price. You get an alloy frame and fork, Shimano 16-speed drivetrain with decent thumbshifters and an FSA crankset, Tektro Lyra disc brakes, well-built wheels and solid finishing kit. That's a spec you'd expect to cost probably a hundred quid more than the asking price of the Gryphon. So what's the catch?
Well, there isn't one. Not that I've found, anyway. This Carrera is a likeable bike. Okay it's not super quick but it's well put together and the ride is stable and fairly comfortable. For the money, it's a very good machine. I get the feeling I'll be saying "for the money" a lot...
First impressions are of a bike that's slap bang in the middle of the hybrid spectrum. Less hunkered down than a Specialized Sirrus or a Boardman, not quite as upright as a Trek FX, this is a bike that's most at home hopping from the house to the office or running errands around town, but it's not so heavy or sluggish that it can't handle a longer excursion.
Pulling away for the first time, the weight in the wheels is noticeable: bikes at this kind of price don't tend to skimp on the metal or rubber there. The upside is that the Gryphon's wheels are sturdy and well built, and the Kenda tyres are grippy and big enough to add some comfort to the ride.
The 16-speed transmission features a Shimano 2300 rear mech and RD440 shifters, along with an FSA Tempo chainset. That's all dependable stuff, and the performance of the drivetrain was pretty much faultless throughout. The shifters have a heavier and slightly more vague feel than the more expensive units but they're much better than you normally get at this price.
The Gryphon has ideas slightly quicker than its station in speccing an 11-25 cassette though; I'd rather have a long cage mech and a bigger spread of gears to get those heavy wheels turning on the steep slopes of Bath. Assuming you live somewhere topographically challenged, or you fit yourself a rack and tolug the shopping home on this bike, you'll probably be wanting them too.
Tektro's Lyra mechanical discs take care of stopping. For the money they are excellent spec. Okay, they're a bit of a faff to set up and they need dialling in every once in a while, but they do offer dependable all-weather stopping with minimal fuss. You need to haul on them hard to stop yourself in a hurry though, so they're not the best option if you lack an iron grip.
The Gryphon is at its best when it's hacking through town or along the towpath. It's not the quickest bike or the most agile, but it's plenty capable of dealing with urban conditions and the tyre and wheel combo is quite happy to venture onto unsurfaced stuff. After 10 miles or so you'll start wishing the wheels were a bit lighter, and after 20 it'll start to feel less like fun and more like a chore, but it's not really a bike designed for long distances. If your commute is a handful of miles and you'd like to give it a go on a bike, you could spend a lot more than this and get a bike that's only marginally better... or maybe one that's not as good.
It's not perfect, of course, but you wouldn't expect a £370 bike to be. The grips might as well be made of marble for all the cushioning they provide, and coupled with an all alloy front end and cockpit, you're relying on the tyres to take the sting out of the road. Those grips would be my first upgrade, followed by some lighter rubber to speed things up a bit. Once I'd worn through the first cassette I'd look at getting a wider range of gears on board too. But that's all pretty minor stuff. For the money the Gryphon is a pretty sorted urban bike. You could get a helmet, mudguards, a rack, lights and some waterproofs and still have change from £500. If you're ditching the car for the commute, it wouldn't take you long to claw that back in saved fuel costs.
Very well specced for the money, with a decent ride to boot; a good budget urban machine.

Kittens accidentally burned in bonfire
Submitted: 06/20/2013
- Animals usually like to hide their newborns to keep them safe, but a mama cat chose the wrong place to hide her litter.This is Tiki, the only surviving kitten of his litter. Tiki is about seven weeks old. A woman brought him into the Northwoods Animal Hospital in Minocqua a week and an half ago."She and her friends had attended a bonfire the night before. Unbeknownst to them, they threw a mattress that had the kittens nestled inside of the mattress," says Karen Seehafer-Petersohn, Certified Veterinary Technician. The woman pulled the mattress out of the fire when she realized the kittens were inside, but Tiki was the only survivor.He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his legs and paws. The hospital staff wants to remind people that baby animals can easily hide in places - like abandon buildings, garages, and under porches."Another thing that we have found in the past is boats. They like to go into boats that have been stored for the winter, get underneath the tarps that have been stored for the winter," says Karen Seehafer-Petersohn.Tiki still has a high fever and needs a lot of medical care before he can be adopted.

WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (AP) — The man suspected of killing a West Virginia sheriff as he ate lunch in his car was mentally disturbed and had no particular vendetta against law enforcement, his father told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Melvin Maynard said his 37-year-old son, Tennis Melvin Maynard, was exposed to harmful chemicals and injured while working at an Alabama coal mine. He most likely did not target Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum, he said.
"He would have probably shot anybody, the first one he come to, you know what I'm saying?" the elder Maynard said.
"I know he was off. I know he should have been in a hospital," the father said, adding that his son had previously been in an institution. He refused to elaborate, saying only that "the same problem was eating him again."
Witnesses told police Maynard was alone when he shot Crum, and investigators still haven't determined why he shot the sheriff, said Dave Rockel, the Mingo County Drug Task Force commander and Williamson police chief.
Crum had been in office just three months before he was killed Wednesday afternoon, making good on a campaign pledge to help rid the southern coalfields of the illegal prescription drug trade blamed for thousands of addictions and overdoses.
Friends say he was shot to death in the spot where he parked most days, keeping an eye on a place that had been shut down for illegally dispensing prescription drugs to be sure it didn't reopen.
Tennis Maynard was shot and wounded by a Mingo deputy in a chase following the attack on Crum. State Police say he crashed his car into a bridge in his hometown of Delbarton, then got out and pointed a weapon at the deputy, who fired in self-defense.
State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous said Tennis Maynard is expected to survive and remained at Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington on Thursday.
Maynard has been charged with murder in Crum's death and attempted murder in the incident with the deputy, authorities said.
Before Crum's death, Maynard had never faced criminal charges in West Virginia, according to county and state records. Baylous said State Police had responded to past incidents involving Maynard, though he declined to elaborate.
The mental health problems described by Maynard's father appear to stem from a lightning strike near a drilling rig at Drummond Co.'s Shoal Creek mine on June 27, 2007. Tennis Maynard sued more than two dozen people and companies in 2009 over injuries he said he suffered at the mine. A lightning strike sparked an explosion, which news reports at the time said injured six people.
The lawsuit doesn't detail the nature of his physical injuries or say exactly what happened. But Maynard claimed he endured "extreme, severe, prolonged emotional and mental pain and suffering," depression and post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the incident.
The mine west of Birmingham had been cited for a string of safety problems and had been shut down for six months the year before the lightning strike, when methane gas ignited and the mine flooded.
The case had been put on hold, and a hearing was set for August.
Maynard's attorney in that case, Craig Lowell, didn't immediately return telephone and email messages.
Meanwhile, Crum's death shook the state, with lawmakers and others at the Capitol wearing black ribbons and law enforcement wearing black stripes on their badges.
Residents had praised the former police chief's new drug crackdown, dubbed Operation Zero Tolerance. It already had led to dozens of indictments, so his friends and supporters couldn't help but suspect a connection to his death.
The fight against prescription drugs has been a high-profile one joined by federal authorities who say they have prosecuted 200 pill dealers in the past two years. The epicenter has been the southern coalfields, including Crum's Mingo County, a region with a violent past. It saw battles in the legendary feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families, and was dubbed "Bloody Mingo when unionizing miners battled security agents hired by coal companies in the early 20th century.
Dallas Toler was appointed to take Crum's magistrate position a year ago when Crum stepped down to campaign for sheriff.
Their goal was mutual: to put a big dent in drug trafficking in the county.
"At least four or five of us have gotten threats," Toler said. "Any time you come in and make an impact on dope and drugs, it's just part of the course. Eugene made a big lick on drugs down here. We all have."
Toler, still in shock, couldn't say whether he feels safe.
"Anything can happen," he said. "This could have been any one of us."
On a sign in the parking lot where Crum died, Chris and Christina Endicott scrawled a note expressing love for Crum and his wife, Rosie.
"You are family. The best sheriff Mingo has ever seen," they wrote. "Our hearts are broken, along with Mingo County. We love you so much."
Rosie Crum was appointed interim sheriff Thursday, in a move that has widespread support among deputies and is a nod to Crum's legacy, said Mingo County Commission President Mark Humphrey.
"We thought that was what the people of Mingo County would want," he said.
Although there is no indication of any connection, Crum's killing comes on the heels of a Texas district attorney and his wife being shot to death in their home over the weekend, and just weeks after Colorado's corrections director also was gunned down at his home.
Those bold killings and others have led authorities to propose more protection for law enforcers.
Smith reported from Morgantown. Associated Press writers Lawrence Messina in Charleston and Jay Reeves in Birmingham, Ala., contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of senators unveiled a new measure Monday to combat illegal gun trafficking, a sign of momentum for one element of President Obama's initiative to reduce gun violence.
The primary focus of the bill is to combat so-called straw purchasing, in which a person who is legally eligible to buy a gun does so for someone who is prohibited from purchasing or owning a firearm. The proposal would impose stiff penalties for both straw purchasers and those who sell to them. It would also explicitly define gun trafficking as a federal crime.
Law enforcement officials have said the absence of such laws has hampered their ability to stop illegal firearms trafficking. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), the bill's co-sponsor and chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the "common sense" proposal would address those gaps in the law.
"Our bill was drafted at the request of law enforcement," Leahy said. "It will provide needed tools to fight against the drug cartels and other criminals who threaten our communities. It will not undermine the 2nd Amendment rights of lawful gun owners."

The 451 Group announced in a press release (see below) that analyst industry veteran and ZDnet blogger Dan Kusnetzky (bio, Twitter, blog) has joined the firm as VP of Research Operations. In addition, Dan will launch 451's cloud computing and virtualization research coverage. This fits in well with the work Dan was doing with his ZDnet blog (which will continue) and his boutique firm Kusnetzky Group (which will be shut down).
In February 2009, The 451 Group did go through a round of layoffs that affected analysts, executives, and back office staff. However, it is not a contradiction for it to be hiring at this time as technology companies frequently lay off and hire nearly at the same time in order to change the mix of skills.
SageCircle Technique:
- Vendors that are competing in the cloud computing and virtualization markets should immediately brief Dan to ensure that he is up-to-speed during his transition to The 451
- AR teams for whom Kusnetzky is relevant, should do a refresh of their analyst lists to see if Dan's ranking is affected by his new employer
- Frequency of future briefings should be determined based on Continue reading

Irish secrets about Halloween you need to know for October 31.
1) It is an ancient Irish festival, created for Samhain, the day when the undead walk among us and we must ward off evil spirits.
2) It marked the end of the long days and the drawing in of winter. In the same way the Celts celebrated Lughnasa, the festival when the harvest was brought in, Samhain represented the beginning of winter.
3) A favorite game was to blindfold the Irish person and ask them to place their hand on some Halloween items. A bowl of water meant emigration, a piece of earth meant a death in the family, a ring meant a wedding and so on.
4) One of the greatest short stories by James Joyce, 'Clay', refers to this very custom when the main character touches the clay saucer but is quickly moved on by her worried relatives.
5) The ring was also hidden in the Barm Brack, the fruitcake specially made for the occasion. The person who got the ring-- if you didn't swallow it-- had a happy marriage ahead.
6) Bobbing for apples is when couples try to bite an apple that is bobbing in a bowl of water. The symbolism was biting into the seed, which meant fertility in the year ahead.
7) Meeting a red-haired woman was a bad omen especially for fishermen, but meeting one on Halloween was even more dire. A man had to turn around and go right back home, but funny, a woman did not.
8)Orange and black, the colors of Halloween, are the colors of death in Celtic legend.
9) Druids were especially powerful at Halloween when the spirit world was closest. Their visions and predictions were most closely listened to at that time.
10) The custom of Halloween was brought to America by Irish famine emigrants in the 1840s.

'John Carter' -- 2 stars
PG-13; 2:12 running time Set on Earth and Mars, the new science-fiction bash "John Carter" isn't much ¿ or rather, it's too much and not enough in weird, clumpy combinations ¿ but it is a curious sort of blur. And it was directed by Andrew Stanton, making his live-action feature debut after the Pixar successes he helmed, "Finding Nemo" and the splendid "Wall¿E." -- Michael PhillipsRead the full "John Carter" movie review

The three Alabamians on "American Idol" gave solid performances for "I'm With the Band" week — featuring the "AI" band up close with the singers — but the guys, especially, heard familiar refrains of complaint from the judges.
Judge Harry Connick Jr. gave Fayette's Dexter Roberts props for choosing a less-iconic song, Little Big Town's "Boondocks," following weeks in which he bounced through anthemic tunes like "Sweet Home Alabama." But Connick still thinks the country singer should find a more personal feel.
"I wish you'd choose something like (George Jones') 'A Picture of Me Without You' or 'Wichita Lineman,' something to show off your voice."
Judge Keith Urban liked it, although he echoed the impersonal problem with anthems.
"But I would say that if Little Big Town hadn't recorded that song, and if it had been given to you, I bet that would have been a hit on country radio," Urban said, adding that he'd like to see "another side" of Roberts.
Host Ryan Seacrest, interviewing him just after, asked Roberts if he could move outside that wheelhouse.
"I can. I can," Roberts said.
Jessica Meuse of Slapout was the next Alabamian up, putting her guitar aside for the night, singing Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon." Connick thought it was a good choice, a subtle change from what she's been doing. Noting she probably never sang without an instrument in her hands before, Urban urged her to get comfortable working the mike. Judge Jennifer Lopez complimented her on growing confidence.
Jasper's C.J. Harris continues to suffer occasional pitch problems, mainly, Wednesday night, in the bridge of The Steel Drivers' "If It Hadn't Been For Love." Urban liked the song choice, for its range of soulful qualities, but warned Harris about letting the sound of expression overcome the truth of it. Lopez urged more consistency throughout. Connick echoed what Urban said about mimicking emotion as opposed to letting it come through naturally, and he added, " ... I'm gonna pound home the craft thing one more time. You have to work on your pitch. ... You have the ability to improve. If you didn't, I wouldn't say it."
Results of the voting will be broadcast at 8 p.m. Thursday on Fox.
'American Idol' hopefuls are solid, but ...

Flying deer takes out Bay State car in Moultonborough
MOULTONBOROUGH - A Massachusetts man was injured Monday when a deer hit by another car was launched into his car, police said.
Stephanie Martin, 20, of Casco, Maine, was heading east on Whittier Highway shortly before 6 p.m. Monday when her car hit a deer that ran out in front of her, Sgt. Scott Fulton said.
Fulton said the deer was "launched" into the air by the impact and came down on the windshield and roof of a car driven by Thomas Deeb, 28, of Walpole, Mass., who was heading west.
"It just folded the roof back," he said.
Deeb's car went off the road and hit several trees, Fulton said. Deeb was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia for treatment of his injuries, he said.
Martin was not injured, Fulton said.
