The days of delicately handling discs, cassettes, albums, and reels are long over. What can't already be streamed from YouTube, Spotify, or Hulu can be quickly downloaded from a variety of sources -- both legitimate and "less than" legitimate -- and circulated with ease. I don't recall the last time I held an actual CD in my hand, let alone stuck one in a drive and hit "Play." And while I still occasionally grab a Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVD off the shelf to view on a set not connected to a hard drive, my viewing habits tend to revolve around an easily transportable digital file.
So, it was inevitable -- and frankly, long overdue -- for Netflix to finally send its fleet of digital versatile discs off to pasture. Sure, the company claims it's just "spinning off DVD rentals" into a different company, but let's be honest.
Qwikster will die so that Netflix may live.
In a public post on the company's official blog, CEO Reed Hastings apologized for being unclear two months ago when it announced its new pricing structure. Splitting unlimited DVD rentals off from its unlimited streaming video service, Netflix created two pricier options where there once was one. Naturally, customers weren't pleased.
But the move was just a stop in Netflix's long journey away from physical media. In his entry, Hastings explained, "We realized that streaming and DVD by mail are becoming two quite different businesses, with very different cost structures, different benefits that need to be marketed differently, and we need to let each grow and operate independently."
Hence Qwikster -- Netflix's new rental house that will deal solely with DVDs and video games by mail.
The move isn't without its hiccups, but that might be the whole point. Existing customers will have to deal with a different website, a different queue, and a different process. Netflix is forging headlong into the future of streaming, and it's leaving those still relying on the postal service behind. (Much like the postal service itself.)
Here is Hastings' blog post in full. But watching the accompanying video of Hastings and new Qwikster CEO Andy Rendich, it's hard not to feel a bit of sympathy for Rendich, who likely won't be CEO of a company for much longer.
An Explanation and Some Reflections
I messed up. I owe everyone an explanation.
It is clear from the feedback over the past two months that many members felt we lacked respect and humility in the way we announced the separation of DVD and streaming, and the price changes. That was certainly not our intent, and I offer my sincere apology. I'll try to explain how this happened.
For the past five years, my greatest fear at Netflix has been that we wouldn't make the leap from success in DVDs to success in streaming. Most companies that are great at something – like AOL dialup or Borders bookstores – do not become great at new things people want (streaming for us) because they are afraid to hurt their initial business. Eventually these companies realize their error of not focusing enough on the new thing, and then the company fights desperately and hopelessly to recover. Companies rarely die from moving too fast, and they frequently die from moving too slowly.
When Netflix is evolving rapidly, however, I need to be extra-communicative. This is the key thing I got wrong.
In hindsight, I slid into arrogance based upon past success. We have done very well for a long time by steadily improving our service, without doing much CEO communication. Inside Netflix I say, "Actions speak louder than words," and we should just keep improving our service.
But now I see that given the huge changes we have been recently making, I should have personally given a full justification to our members of why we are separating DVD and streaming, and charging for both. It wouldn't have changed the price increase, but it would have been the right thing to do.
So here is what we are doing and why:
Many members love our DVD service, as I do, because nearly every movie ever made is published on DVD, plus lots of TV series. We want to advertise the breadth of our incredible DVD offering so that as many people as possible know it still exists, and it is a great option for those who want the huge and comprehensive selection on DVD. DVD by mail may not last forever, but we want it to last as long as possible.
I also love our streaming service because it is integrated into my TV, and I can watch anytime I want. The benefits of our streaming service are really quite different from the benefits of DVD by mail. We feel we need to focus on rapid improvement as streaming technology and the market evolve, without having to maintain compatibility with our DVD by mail service.
So we realized that streaming and DVD by mail are becoming two quite different businesses, with very different cost structures, different benefits that need to be marketed differently, and we need to let each grow and operate independently. It's hard for me to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary and best: In a few weeks, we will rename our DVD by mail service to "Qwikster".
We chose the name Qwikster because it refers to quick delivery. We will keep the name "Netflix" for streaming.
Qwikster will be the same website and DVD service that everyone is used to. It is just a new name, and DVD members will go to qwikster.com to access their DVD queues and choose movies. One improvement we will make at launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, and now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done. Other improvements will follow. Another advantage of separate websites is simplicity for our members. Each website will be focused on just one thing (DVDs or streaming) and will be even easier to use. A negative of the renaming and separation is that the Qwikster.com and Netflix.com websites will not be integrated. So if you subscribe to both services, and if you need to change your credit card or email address, you would need to do it in two places. Similarly, if you rate or review a movie on Qwikster, it doesn't show up on Netflix, and vice-versa.
There are no pricing changes (we're done with that!). Members who subscribe to both services will have two entries on their credit card statements, one for Qwikster and one for Netflix. The total will be the same as the current charges.
Andy Rendich, who has been working on our DVD service for 12 years, and leading it for the last 4 years, will be the CEO of Qwikster. Andy and I made a short welcome video. (You'll probably say we should avoid going into movie making after watching it.) We will let you know in a few weeks when the Qwikster.com website is up and ready. It is merely a renamed version of the Netflix DVD website, but with the addition of video games. You won't have to do anything special if you subscribe to our DVD by mail service.
For me the Netflix red envelope has always been a source of joy. The new envelope is still that distinctive red, but now it will have a Qwikster logo. I know that logo will grow on me over time, but still, it is hard. I imagine it will be the same for many of you. We'll also return to marketing our DVD by mail service, with its amazing selection, now with the Qwikster brand.
Some members will likely feel that we shouldn't split the businesses, and that we shouldn't rename our DVD by mail service. Our view is with this split of the businesses, we will be better at streaming, and we will be better at DVD by mail. It is possible we are moving too fast – it is hard to say. But going forward, Qwikster will continue to run the best DVD by mail service ever, throughout the United States. Netflix will offer the best streaming service for TV shows and movies, hopefully on a global basis. The additional streaming content we have coming in the next few months is substantial, and we are always working to improve our service further.
I want to acknowledge and thank our many members that stuck with us, and to apologize again to those members, both current and former, who felt we treated them thoughtlessly.
Both the Qwikster and Netflix teams will work hard to regain your trust. We know it will not be overnight. Actions speak louder than words. But words help people to understand actions.
Respectfully yours,
-Reed Hastings, Co-Founder and CEO, Netflix

Trainer Gai Waterhouse is confident that Thronum will prove extremely difficult to beat when he lines up for the Listed The Rosebud (1200m) at Royal Randwick this weekend.
Thronum has only made a handful of appearances at the races since an impressive debut at Kembla Grange in late June, but has more than stamped himself as a colt to follow in posting two dominant wins and a close second from three starts.
Waterhouse told Racing Ahead that the Snitzel colt relishes damp racing conditions, and she believes that he is primed to produce a career-best performance to date in The Rosebud 2016.
"Thronum's a lovely colt – he's quite a late foal as a November foal so he's probably structurally not as big and bold as a horse like El Divino but he's all heart and is most importantly immensely talented," Waterhouse said.
"I think you'll see the real Thronum step out tomorrow. He loves the wet, he's on his home track and I'm extremely pleased with him."
The Rosebud has drawn a particularly classy field this year, and Waterhouse concedes that her runner will have to produce if he is to post a maiden black type win in the race.
"All these races are strong and it's hard to win them," she said.
Thronum performed well through a number of talent-rich barrier trials prior to his competitive debut, and immediately stamped himself as a colt to follow with a strong performance for success in the Riley O'Shea Go Go's Maiden Handicap (1000m) first-up on June 25th.
Interestingly not rated a race favourite when he lined up for the Tab Rewards Handicap (1200m) second-up on July 9th, Thronum more than displayed his class with a dominant performance for a three length win over the likes of Morton's Fork.
Thronum undoubtedly faced his toughest test to date in the 70th Birthday Martin King Handicap (1200m) last time out on July 23rd and while completely missing the start, mustered a typically smart turn of foot to run second behind talented colt Tango Rain.
Thronum will jump from the rails draw in The Rosebud on Saturday, and has been confirmed to be partnered by notable hoop Tommy Berry.
Thronum is currently available at 2016 The Rosebud odds of $3.20 with online bookie Ladbrokes Australia.

Medical Acupuncture
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which acupuncture needles are inserted into anatomically defined sites. The needles can be stimulated manually or with electricity for therapeutic purposes.
Acupuncture is often incorporated into treatment plans and can be a useful tool in pain control, functional problems and modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system and/or the endocrine, exocrine and immune systems.
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is mechanism-based, not disease-based. Therapeutic goals and treatment targets are selected based on the identified neurological dysfunctions contributing to the clinical presentation of the symptoms.

How to Liven Up a Party
If your party is a little dull it always helps to have a friend that is really crazy; a friend that doesn't really take life too seriously and will challenge a lot of your guests to chugging contests is really the best type of friend to have around for any situation. Besides, if you have to read an article about how to make a party exciting, you probably have invited too many dull people to your place, so please bear that in mind. If you don't have a really crazy friend then you will have to rely on yourself to brighten up the mood. Sometimes you have to take heed of the type of people you are with. You don't want to be with your girlfriend's snobby friends that were in college honors classes and say "Hey, hit this beer bong. Right now!!" You might create some awkward moments for everyone at your party.
So here are some ideas based on a few groups of people:
The College Partiers: This is probably the easiest group to entertain. If you are at a party with all college students and it gets a little dull, that means you are running out of chicks and booze. And if you notice the number of women dwindling, it most likely means you are running out beer. Which means you should get a keg. A keg will liven up any party and provide fuel for many bad decisions later. Have a great time.
The Indie Crowd: If you happen to be surrounded by the Indie hipster crowd and it gets dull, DON'T PANIC!! That's how they usually are. But if you are partying with the more Indie Crowd and you are feeling like the vibes are a bit draining, grab some PBR, start some small talk about things you hate in an intellectual fashion, and break out a pack of American Spirits. This should be enough to sustain a decently good time with this group.
The Office Crowd: When you're at a get together with the office types, keep it simple. Don't talk too much about each other's personal lives because it will get weird, and not in a good way. The best thing to do is take out a board game that has a sexual theme to it. A lot of red wine can get the singles in the office to sleep together, giving everyone gossip to fuel their conversations, which will help them make it through another week. Thanks to you, you've given them another reason to keep living. Way to go, pal!
The 21st Century Yuppie: If you're trying to entertain these people, you really should have some money. In order to get their blood flowing, start talking about what luxury vehicle you're planning on buying or where the summer home is going to be. You can either mention something about expensive vehicles or where they are going to travel next year. That's about it. Whatever expensive toy they can talk about will always keep them happy. If you can stay within those parameters you'll be set. The key is to mention anything that has to do with spending money.
The Social Elite: If you are partying with the top of the chain, you really struck gold didn't you? However, you have to be invited to one of these get-togethers. It might behoove you to have some nice clothes for the occasion. When you feel yourself wanting to fall asleep (which you will) you can entertain them with stories of how you had to do something for yourself, such as change a flat tire. These well-off people always get a kick out of people that have to be independent. You will surely be the life of the party.
So good luck when you find yourself responsible for the excitement at a party, but remember, if you keep looking back at this article for ideas, you really need to get some more exciting friends.


text: I was in the process of setting up a number of JVs these last 12 months and all have gone horribly horribly wrong. I feel like pulling out my f&8king hair!!! Partner 1 - got in debt and essentially ran away out of the blue, couldn't pay his rent so moved away. This was a friend. Partner 2 - had a number of excellent meetings all seemed very optimistic and then out of the blue didnt here anything from him. He got approx. $150,000 from some shares he sold. I think I saw him wizzing around at about 100 in a new Lexus. This was a friend. Partner 3 - we were in the process of setting up a web design company and he was desperate for work. As we got to the point when we were going to sign up for JV / partnership agreements, create business plans, bank accounts etc. Out of the blue he has been offered a sh1t load of work and doesn't think he can follow through with our plans? GRRRRRR this is very annoying. It is possible to work with others. A wise friend of mine said no, always set up on your own and employ ppl around you. Her father also had a hellish experience when trying to set up businesses with others. I am in the process of formally setting up an SEO company and Web Design company. I will follow through if it kills me. I am considering not working with anyone else on anything ever again. Do everything myself and outsource. This is a very very very big task though and I am currently working 60+ hour weeks on freelance jobs Would be interested to know other options experiences. Everything I am experiencing is pointing dont work or JV with anyone ever again apart from possibly a small project. Other experiences at my IT job our main 3rd party contractor is f^&ked through a bad JV with another company. All seems bad. Confusing thing here is I know some members have been working very well through JVs. The experience I have is everything fizzles out, enthusiasm dries up and you either: 1) do most of the work yourself 2) argue and get p1ssed at the other party for not delivering 3) do nothing, work ceases The main issue I am having is with specifically creatives one was a photography / digital art guru, one web designer, one animator / web designer. I have also experienced problems with audio based creative ppl. I am finding that creative / talented ppl are extremely unreliable. I am hoping sharing my / other ppls experiences will help to avoid bad experiences like mine. I can only see myself moving forward by working with ppl by freelance / employment. No more partners for me in a hurry! EDIT: The one good bit of advice I have found is working with closer friends is very bad, ppl you dont know can be tough how can you trust. The most promising JV was referred through a friend we had a good working relationship (balance of friend / didnt know too well either), but timing was bad. He chose his own work over our project. RANT OVER :violin:

Punk's Not Dead: Film Review
Susan Dynner's documentary about the past 30 years of punk music doesn't exactly break any new ground. But it does offer an entertaining overview.
NEW YORK -- Coming after several other similarly themed films about the topic, Susan Dynner's documentary about the past 30 years of punk music doesn't exactly break any new ground. But it does offer an entertaining overview that is leavened with humorous philosophical digressions about what it actually means to be punk, especially in an age when its music, fashions and practices have been co-opted by the mainstream. "Punk's Not Dead" is appropriately playing at a theater in the heart of New York's East Village, where so much of the music began.
Largely eschewing the by now familiar stories of the Ramones, Sex Pistols, etc., the film centers on, in chronological fashion, the historical touchstones of the punk movement, from its beginnings in the late 1970s to its grunge period with Nirvana and the like to the later commercial breakthroughs of such bands as Green Day and the Offspring.
An impressive compendium of talking heads comment on the topic, including the musicians themselves (the ubiquitous Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, John Doe and many others) and record company executives, managers and journalists. Needless to say, there also is plenty of performance footage on display, of bands iconic and those largely unknown except to aficionados.
Particularly fun is the footage that the filmmaker has dug up detailing early societal revulsion of the punk aesthetic, including a clip from Jack Klugman's "Quincy M.E." television series in which the character treats it as something akin to Nazism and a Phil Donahue episode in which the talk-show host attempts in his usual earnest way to get to the root of the problem.
The filmmaker, who spent her early years working as a photographer covering the Washington punk scene, clearly has a passion for her subject. It is perhaps best conveyed in the portrait of the Adicts, the longest-running punk band, who are still on the road, with all their original members, 30 years after they began.

As the war in Europe winds down in the wake of the Normandy invasion, the United States has turned its vast military resources toward an all-out effort against the Japanese. In the spring of 1945, Japan's empire has been pressed slowly back toward its home islands, and the Americans mount a furious assault on the last great stepping-stone to Japan itself--the heavily fortified island of Okinawa. The three-month battle will feature some of the most vicious combat of the entire war, as American troops confront an enemy that would rather be slaughtered than experience the shame of surrender.
With a narrative dexterity befitting his status as a master storyteller, Shaara relates the story of the struggle for Okinawa through the eyes of combatants on both sides: Private Clay Adams, a young marine whose brother Jesse has already earned his share of glory as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne in Europe; Admiral Chester Nimitz, who must unite rival army and marine commanders into a cooperative effort; General Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., the American ground commander trying to live up to the legacy of his father, who led Confederate troops during the Civil War; and General Mitsura Ushijima, the Japanese general in charge of defending the island, who understands what Tokyo will not believe: that his own fight to the death will only delay the inevitable--as the Americans continue their advance toward the home islands and ultimate victory.
With the fights raging across the Pacific, a different kind of campaign is being waged in extraordinary secrecy: the development of a weapon so powerful, not even the scientists who build it know just what they are about to unleash. Colonel Paul Tibbets, one of the finest bomber pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps, is selected to lead the mission to drop the horrific new weapon on a Japanese city. As the new president, Harry S Truman, mulls his options, and a Japanese physician named Okiro Hamishita cares for patients at a clinic near the city of Hiroshima, citizens on the home front await the day of reckoning that everyone knows is coming.
A fitting conclusion to one of the most riveting sagas in military fiction, The Final Storm illuminates the heroism and sacrifice that defined the war in the Pacific, bringing the conflict to life as only Jeff Shaara can.

Treatment for thumb pain caused by arthritis includes certain exercises, applying ice and over-the-counter medications. Other treatment options are steroid injections or a splint, says Healthline.
Hand exercises are commonly recommended by doctors and physical therapists for relieving thumb pain caused by osteoarthritis. In addition to improving arthritis symptoms, these exercises increase range of motion. One example of a hand exercise is the thumb stretch, which involves attempting to touch the tip of the thumb to just under the pinkie finger. Hand exercises should be done only after consulting a doctor or physical therapist, warns Healthline.
Over-the-counter medications that help relieve thumb pain include Tylenol, Motrin, Advil and Aleve. Medications such as Motrin, Advil and Aleve may cause health problems when taken in high doses, says Healthline. It is important to not consume more than is recommended by the package or a doctor.
Some supplements have also proved effective at treating thumb pain such as glucosamine and chondroitin. Applying capsaicin skin creams to the thumb may also help relieve arthritis symptoms, claims Healthline. Corticosteroid injections also help, but these treatments may only be done two or three times per year. Avoiding excess physical activity while on a steroid medication is suggested in order to avoid damaging the joints.

NORWALK, Conn. -- The owner of a now-defunct adult club in Norwalk is seeking inclusion in a probation program that would strip away his criminal charges, according to a report by The Stamford Advocate.
Arrested in the December 2015 raid on The Office Café were Gene Morell, 60, two bartenders, several dancers, and a number of patrons, according to a report by the Daily Voice.
Morrell was charged with promoting prostitution.
One of the Liberty Square club's exotic dancers, Casandra "Diamond" Bryan, a 37-year-old Mount Vernon, N.Y., resident, was charged with prostitution and selling and possessing marijuana.
According to The Stamford Advocate report, Bryan also appeared in state Superior Court in Stamford on Thursday to apply for the accelerated rehabilitation program.
If Morrell and Bryan can make it through two years of probation without getting arrested again, their charges will be tossed and removed from their records, The Stamford Advocate story said.
The raid came after undercover officers infiltrated the club in order to investigate dozens of complaints and anonymous tips about violence, thefts, drugs and other incidents there, according to the Daily Voice report.

From the Advisory Committee: Prof. Gottleib Lobe Monekosso and Prof. Mohenou Isidore Jean-Marie Diomande.
Advisory Committee host: Prof. Abdel Karim Koumare.
From the Secretariat: Prof. Fitzhugh Mullan, Prof. Seble Frehywot, and Prof. Candice Chen.
Mali is a West African Francophone nation of 12.5 million people whose economic and health outcome indicators are among the most problematic in the world. Mali has one medical school, the University of Bamako which opened originally in 1968 and has about ten physicians per 100,000 in the country.
The College of Medicine follows the French tradition of direct admission and numerus clausus. This means that any student wanting to study medicine is admitted to the first year class (2000 this year), but only 300 (based on competitive examination) proceed to the second year.
Professor Koumare designed and manned an excellent schedule for the site visit team, which included visits with the dean of the medical school, faculty leaders, key officials at the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, as well as the national physician regulatory body. The site visit team had a visit and campus tour provided by representatives of the medical student body.
Mali has a well-developed system of non-governmental community health centers, and the team had an opportunity to visit one such center and with the organization representing the community health center movement nationally.
The college of medicine is home to several impressive research programs in areas such as malaria, parasitic diseases, and HIV/AIDS. In addition to producing important research knowledge, the center provides opportunities for career development for faculty, and the site visit team was impressed that they had a role to play in national capacity development and retention.
Another example of Mali's thoughtful investment in future medical school faculty is the creation of the Institut Africain de Formation en Pedagogie-Recherche-Evaluation en Science de la Santé (African Institute of Teaching in Pedagogy-Research-Evaluation in the Health Sciences). The Institute teaches students and young faculty (at the associate professor level) skills needed to be successful future researchers and trains associate professors in pedagogy skills, including video feedback of teaching skills. Initial follow-up shows the pass rate for the examination to become a full professor is 80% for those who participate in the pedagogy course compared to only 50% for those who do not. The courses are open to Malian as well as non-Malian physicians.
The team was also impressed with the strong commitment of Malian physicians to practice in Mali even when they have gone abroad for postgraduate training. New postgraduate training positions in specialties were also felt to be important elements of an emerging physician retention program in the country.
Challenges noted included insufficient employment opportunities for all medical graduates, insufficient incentives to recruit graduates for placements in peripheral communities, and long-term coordination between the Ministries of Health and Education around medical workforce development.

So school is back and I am struggling to get back into the routine of everyday life.
I was feeling a bit sorry for myself this morning and lamenting all the mundane housekeeping tasks that need doing (and that I keep putting off like a boss) and then I decided I needed a hit of scrapping happy.
I used the Studio Calico Sunday Sketch.
Mostly washi and some digital printables from Hello Forever and In A Creative Bubble and a title remember THIS MOMENT from Helen Jolly at Jollygirl's Diecuts.
It's busy and messy and way too much... pretty much like us really.

Well Hello and welcome back. I love your layout - I haven't done any 12x12 scrapping in years it seems. Love the bright colours and funness in this one. Looking forward to seeing more.

What distinguishes the Software Architect?
Allan Hoffman at Monster.com is researching the software architect role for an upcoming article on Monster.com, and he asked me to give input. Here is his leading question (in italics) and my response:
What are the key elements differentiating the role of a software architect from related roles (project manager, programmer, and so forth)?
The role of software architect particularly comes into play for reasonably complex projects. These require the co-ordination of a fair number of people as they create, improve and extend a collective work product. This is not just a matter of scheduling and workload balancing. Software construction is very far from route manufacturing assembly. Rather it is a process of invention and inventive evolution.
Software architecture has to provide a context for this innovation, creating boundaries within which programmers can work with a high degree of freedom, while nevertheless delivering a system with a coherent identity, with parts that collaborate to produce services with service levels that not simply emergent, but rather the result of a reasoned, goal-oriented process.
Software architects are the people with the skills and experience needed to design these architectural elements that become units of work, and units of innovation and experiment, containing the cost of change through the initial experimental stages, and throughout the evolution of the system.
Software architects need to have real system development experience. But they are not just technically great. They also need to have skills that are more like those of managers, because they need to lead various communities (including developers, but also managers, and others), persuading, consulting, mentoring, and so on.
Software development is innovative work; getting people to work towards something with a coherent identity and integrity is a matter of getting people to voluntarily contribute their imagination and best effort to working towards a common vision, within a common setting of goals, principles and overall system structure, and with a good idea of the commitments their piece of the system must contribute to the overall system purpose.
Setting system goals is strategic, motivating and aligning people to achieve them is leadership, helping people understand them and be successful is consulting, navigating all the relationships and networks of influence to get things done in organizational settings is organizational politics. The architect must have all these skills, or partner very, very well with someone who does!

Crystal Bowersox has made it to Broadway, and the former American Idol contestant has a role that's right in her wheelhouse.
The powerful singer will be playing legendary country music singer Patsy Cline in a production set to debut this summer. The play, Always… Patsy Cline, is based on the true story of Cline's friendship with Louise Seger, a fan from Houston she met in a bar in Texas in 1961. The two continued to keep in touch through letters until Cline died in a plane crash two years later at age 30.
"Louise narrates the story of the day in 1961 when she met Patsy at Houston's Esquire Ballroom," a press release for the play noted. "Afterward, Patsy kept in touch by writing her long hand-written letters until the day she died tragically in a plane crash. She signed the letters '(Love) Always, Patsy Cline.' "
In the play, Crystal Bowersox will have ample opportunity to show off her singing chops. The play includes 27 Patsy Cline hits, including "Walkin' After Midnight," "I Fall To Pieces," "Crazy," "She's Got You," "Sweet Dreams," "Back In Baby's Arms," and "Your Cheatin' Heart."
"Crystal is the ideal performer to portray Patsy Cline," said producer Jeff Cohen of Burke-Cohen Entertainment. "In what amounts to a 'life-imitates-art' twist, Patsy Cline was discovered on the Arthur Godfrey Show' the number one TV talent show of its day. And Crystal was discovered on American Idol, the number one TV talent show today
The play has already been showing at the Stages Repertory Theatre in Houston and has been staged across the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
There had already been rumors that Bowersox would join the project, though producers didn't make it official until Tuesday. She now joins a number of other American Idol alums who have made the jump to Broadway, including Fantasia Barrino, Jordin Sparks, and Clay Aiken.
It is a busy year for Crystal Bowersox, apart from the Broadway debut. She just released her sophomore album, All That For This, and has been working hard to promote it.

I Love You Beth Cooper; review
Save Your Money
This was the longest hour and a half I've experienced in while. I Love You Beth Cooper was a typical teen flick, complete with graduation scene and rampaging, hormonal bullies.
The story begins with the class brainiac giving a commencement speech. He isn't great looking but he's smart. Has felt empty throughout high school because he adored secretly a gal named Beth Cooper, the head cheerleader and never told her how he felt. He decides that he will profess his love for her at graduation during his speech. The rest of the movie combines this girl, her friends, Beth's outraged boyfriend who pummels the young man every chance he gets and the geek's best friend who spends the entire movie trying to decide if he is really gay or not.
Beth decides to show up for his "party" (a party of two-he and his buddy) with her gal pals and the rest of the movie is a series of escapes from her raging boyfriend. We do catch glimpses of how Beth is a "real" person; confused and sad that her whole life of popularity which is wrapped up in high school is now coming to an end. There are even a few times when you feel the film is truly going to get "real" and have some type of true plot but it doesn't happen.
Perhaps, it is my age that has caused me to view this film as a waste of time and money. However, I typically enjoy films such as these and find humor in them. It just felt as if everyone tried too hard to make this film work. There is definitely raw talent with some of the young actors in this film. However, Hayden (Beth) was depicted mostly as a sex object throughout the film and she was hard to relate to as a true person with the brain she obviously possessed.
I suppose that young high schoolers will relate somewhat to this film. The older you are, I believe you will see the silliness more than the movie. Out of five stars, I give I Love You Beth Cooper 1.5 stars.

Dorothy Tang composed a series of posters to advertise Adidas' line of Star Wars-themed shoes. They're really weird. Tang's work reflects the classic movie posters, except with oddly-shaped children. You can view three more at the link.

These posters are designed as parodies of traditional Chinese New Year artwork, chubby babies and all. It all makes perfect sense if you know the reference.
How do you find them oddly shaped? that's the
standard shape of american kids these days?

It took some squinting before I realized that those shapes were their mouths and not bizarre little Hitler-esque moustaches.
There's no way Lucas authorized that crap. The Google phone, sure. This? No way.

The City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to give landmark status to the Boulder Shambhala Center downtown and the Armory mess hall on the north end of Broadway.
The Shambhala Center, at 1345 Spruce St., was built in 1905 and features prominently in Boulder's downtown area, being just a block north of the Pearl Street Mall. Its architectural style is considered a variant of the "renaissance revival" style.
Arthur Saunders, who designed the center, was also the architect behind a number of other notable Boulder buildings, including the Mercantile Bank, the Willard Building and many historic homes.
The mess hall, meanwhile, is a much less visible facility, given that it's located behind a fence on a dilapidated property at 4750 Broadway, far from the city's busiest areas.
But the building — which is part of the Armory campus that is being redesigned as a housing site by developer Bruce Dierking — is indeed historic.
It was built just more than 65 years ago by the National Guard, and was at the time of construction the National Guard's third-largest unit of its type in the country.
The National Guard vacated the property in 2014, and it will be used as an amenity building for residents of the future housing site, Dierking said.
Both City Council votes were consistent with recommendations made by the city Landmarks Board.

Glamour Editors' Favorite Looks From the Fall 2013 Runways
Phew! Fashion month is finally over! Since mid-February, Glamour's editors have been all over NYC and Europe covering the shows, and I've gotta say it's nice to have them back (read all about our adventures here)! After seeing so much awesomeness, it feels "like picking a favorite child," as Lauren Bernstein put it, but that's just what I asked them to do! Here are all of our favorite looks from the fall runways, starting with yours truly.
P.S. Be sure to follow all of us on social media to stay up-to-date on our shenanigans!
Laurel Pantin, Associate Shopping and Accessories Editor - Louis Vuitton, Look 39
I love everything about this—the feather accents, the sexy halter, and especially the sequin detail on the trouser hem. So strange and awesome!
Anne Christensen, Fashion Director - Givenchy, Look 11
"I love the look, as it's a poetic update of the grunge trend and a nice surprise from Riccardo Tisci!"
Gretchen Fenton, Accessories Director - Oscar de la Renta, Look 24
"I mean really how much would you love to have this dress in your closet? Everything about it would put you in a great mood. I must have this dress!!!"
Mia Solkin, Fashion Market Assistant - Valentino, Look 1
"I love/hate when I see a look I would wear from head to toe. This adorable shift has just the right amount of fun detail. Preppy to perfection."
Sarah Meikle, Fashion Market Director - Prada, Look 13
"My fave look from the heavenly Prada show! I'm in love with this tweedy suit because it's very lady chic but with a cool sexy twist. A boxy jacket, deep furry cuffs, an asymmetrical hem, unzipped and a bit undone."
Avery Matera, Fashion Market Assistant - Valentino, Look 13
"This Valentino look was one of my absolute favorites. I love the combo of the minidress and oversize coat and cannot wait for fall and winter whites!"
Nikki Ogunnaike, Online Style Editor - J.Crew, Look 4
"This outfit sums up my 'classic with a twist' viewpoint on dressing to the T. Plus, those pants and metallic ankle-strap heels are everything."
Maggie Mann, Senior Fashion Editor - Celine, Look 29
"All navy—yum! Simple, chic, and somehow boyish."
Brooke Danielson, Associate Accessories Editor - Elie Saab, Look 39
"The all-white suit is clean crisp and classic — in love with this look!"
Rebecca Malinsky, Fashion Market Editor—Chloe, Look 40
"This look from Chloe is my idea of black-tie perfection. I love every element: the cropped tux jacket, the multilayered polka-dot tulle, and the lace-up heeled oxfords!"
Maria Duenas Jacobs, Senior Accessories Editor — Burberry, Look 5
"Love everything about this look—the heart blouse, the leather pencil skirt, and the pops on leopard accessories! Plus, Karlie makes everything look amazing."
Kristina Rutkowski, Fashion Assistant — Celine, Look 35
"This skirt silhouette is exactly what I want to wear this coming fall, with a slouchy turtleneck top. I love the winter-white color against the rich navy wrap. The black accessories are simple, luxurious, and understated and a perfect addition to this minimalist look."
Marina Lange, Fashion Assistant - Louis Vuitton, Look 5
"I'm loving the louche, rumpled glamour of a silk pajama set for day, topped with a fur coat and fabulous bag. Plus, these puffball purses are too cute!"
Christina Holevas, Accessories Assistant - Derek Lam, Look 24
"I love that this Derek Lam look has a laid-back spirit, but is still modern and elegant at the same time."
Mollie Maguire, Fashion Assistant - Proenza Schouler, Look 7
"What more can I say….it's white, it's perfect, it's Proenza!"
Melissa Ventosa Martin, Style Director — Calvin Klein, Look 8
"Loved the wools and blanket plaids at Calvin Klein. This bottle-green dress looked so amazing on Carolyn Murphy."
Amy Wicks, Contributing Fashion News Editor — Hermes, Look 1
"After I saw the Hermes show (online), I went to Orbitz and priced trips to Paris! Every look was just so chic and romantic. Also, I'm loving the midcalf-length skirt. This is one trend I want to try for fall."
Lauren Bernstein, Beauty and Fashion Writer — Narciso Rodriguez, Look 11
"I love color for fall, and Narciso Rodriguez did a lot of it! The tailored vest makes this orange pant look crisp and clean."
Which look are you loving the most? Do you have a favorite trend for fall?

I am a 47 year old diabetic, with a 140 sugar level, however, I feel a tingling feeling in my hands. I would appreciate it if you could tell me the reason for this feeling, and a possible cure for it.
A fasting sugar level of 140 mg/dl looks right for a stabilised diabetic (either insulin or noninsulin dependent) although you don't give any details on duration, medications and long term metabolic control. It is therefore difficult to assess whether the tingling feeling is in some way related to the diabetes or caused by another problem.
A tingling feeling can be one of the first symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, a complication of long term diabetes which generally affects the lower limbs. Also, diabetic blood vessel disease can sometimes cause this feeling. However, both are very rare in the arms and hands. I suggest that you talk to your doctor, and if he feels your symptoms are severe or difficult to diagnose, he might want you to see a neurologist.

After the Lakers' fade came the fadeaways.
Kobe Bryant made a pair of key jumpers in the final 3 minutes 1 second Wednesday night at Staples Center, helping the Lakers avoid a complete collapse during a 113-108 victory over the Clippers.
Bryant's first jumper during the stretch run put the Lakers ahead, 105-104, after they had lost all of a 15-point, third-quarter lead. His second jumper gave the Lakers a 110-106 advantage with 24 seconds remaining.
Bryant finished with 31 points on 13-for-19 shooting and Andrew Bynum had 36 points and eight rebounds in his return from a one-game injury absence as the Lakers claimed the season series against their cross-town rivals and increased their lead over the Clippers in the Pacific Division to 2 1/2 games.

(Anniston March 1993)
1993 SUPERSTORM: Twenty-four years ago, on this date we were digging out of the snow in Alabama! The Storm of the Century had impacted our area producing blizzard conditions and intense thundersnow. The snowfall accumulations were in the one foot range for parts of the area. Heavy snow occurred as far south as Mobile, with a tornado outbreak in the warmer sector of the storm system over Florida. I'll never forget experiencing this event while growing up in Tuscaloosa and its one reason I became so interested in meteorology! If you have a story you'd like to share be sure to comment below.
WEEKEND SNOW: Speaking of winter weather, we officially had snow in Alabama yesterday morning! Check out this picture from Sean Chapman in Toney, AL. The snow primarily fell across north Alabama during the pre-dawn hours on Sunday, with accumulations topping a half inch in far northern portions of the state.
- 1 NNW Florence 0.9 in 0700 AM 03/12
- 3 NNE Harvest 0.8 in 0318 AM 03/12
- 1 NNE Rogersville 0.4 in 0700 AM 03/12
- 2 NNE Ider 0.2 in 0700 AM 03/12
A REMINDER ABOUT THE DANGERS OF LIGHTNING: We've entered an active and fast changing weather pattern. Last week we had two rounds of storms and in both cases, the storms contained very intense lightning. Check out the following two pics that remind us of the danger of being near trees and tall objects in general. The top picture from Homewood was sent in on the WBRC First Alert Weather App. The second picture was shared by one of my co-workers from Vinemont in Cullman County.
BRIGHT BANDING ON RADAR: We've already had a few showers today but we are tracking an axis of steadier rain to the west. The latest radar view from base reflectivity suggests some very intense and torrential rain. However, this is mostly light to moderate rain. The colorful radar returns are the result of snow melting. As this frozen precipitation melts it produces a higher reflectivity, in a process is known as bright banding. This shows up further away from the radar site because the angle of the radar beam is scanning higher into the atmosphere. A cold rain will continue to impact our area through this afternoon.

Egypt is for all!
Muslim terrorists spread death and terror today in Northern Egypt.
At least 22 people were killed and 150 wounded as three blasts rocked a market and a busy restaurant area in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Dahab during the high tourism season, state television said.My offer to these heinous cowards is the response of the Egyptian people who rallied at a demonstration in Cairo a few days ago, protesting the recent events in Alexandria and calling for a "one nation for all, Muslims and Christians".
There was no immediate word on the nationality of the victims, in the third such attack in the Sinai in 18 months.
The Dahab resort is popular with Western backpackers and budget Israeli tourists.
The Times of London said three bombs exploded one after another shortly after 7:15 p.m., Egyptian time, as vacationers packed the popular resort between Sharm el-Sheikh and Taba on the Gulf of Aqaba during the Coptic Easter holiday.
Egypt is a wonderful country. Egyptians have always been warm and good people.
They don't want Al-Qaida. They don't want islamic fundamentalism. They do not want the Muslim Brotherhood!
See if you like it!
(it says: Long live the crescent and the cross)
(I have taken this pic from the excellent Egyptian blogger Big Pharaoh)

As I see it, the ICBers are to our current times what the Catholic church was to the dark ages, a sneaky, controlling body that maintains its power through deception.
We need to throw off the yoke of the International Corporate Bankers in order to regain control of our country.
A sad part is that lots of people would rather be deceived.
A Bloomberg Markets article published Nov. 27 said the central bank had lent or guaranteed $7.7 trillion as of March 2009 to rescue the financial system. It also estimated that the big banks, including Bank of America(BAC), JPMorgan Chase(JPM), Wells Fargo(WFC) and Citigroup- made about $13 billion in profits by taking advantage of money lent by the Fed at below-market rates.
Bernanke said that the total credit outstanding under liquidity programs never exceeded $1.5 trillion. He said the inaccurate and misleading estimates by various articles could be based on several errors including "double counting".
Also, the article failed to mention that the emergency lending program had made money for American taxpayers. The program generated $20 billion in interest income for the Treasury. Moreover, in 2009 and 2010, the Fed returned over $125 billion in excess earnings on its operations, including emergency lending, he noted.

First-time visitors come to Australia in search of the three B's: beaches, "barbies" and the beauty of the rugged Outback. But beyond the storied surf of Bondi Beach lies one of the most versatile destinations imaginable, where cosmopolitan cities with their own symphonies, museums and world-class dining districts are just a boat ride away from the untamed natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
Australia, above all, is a continent with a thirst for adventure. Sydney's soaring Harbour Bridge often is covered with people who actually pay for the privilege of scaling its peak. Rock climbing is popular in Tasmania, where sheer cliff faces overlooking red-rock deserts draw thrill seekers. There's also the walkabout, the world-famous tradition that sends those seeking enlightenment on an extended trek through Australia's most treacherous territories. And the longest coral reef in the world offers a number of lures, from relaxing afternoons of kayaking and snorkeling among clownfish to scuba diving with darting sharks.
But this destination also honors its heritage. This wasn't always the case -- Australia's Aboriginal ancestors clashed with invading European settlers for nearly three centuries -- but recent years have seen indigenous cultures honored with large-scale museums and cultural education projects. The National Gallery of Victoria, for instance, was an early leader in the collection of aboriginal art and textiles. Bands with aboriginal influences also are played on radio stations throughout the country.

(CBS/AP) KENNEBUNK, Maine - The residents of the small seaside town in Maine are awaiting the next release of names of alleged clients who paid Zumba instructor Alexis Wright for sex at her dance studio.
Pictures: Zumba instructor accused of prostitution
The town of 10,000 made international headlines when Wright was charged earlier this month with engaging in prostitution. Police said she videotaped many of the encounters without her clients' knowledge and kept meticulous records, which suggested that the sex acts generated $150,000 over 18 months.
Wright and her business partner, Mark Strong, pleaded not guilty to their respective charges.
The first 21 names of alleged clients were released two weeks ago, and more are expected to be released Friday. The names released so far include a former mayor and the local high school ice hockey coach.

Robotic Assisted Hysterectomy
da Vinci™ Hysterectomy
Several conditions affect the uterus and the womb. Many of these conditions can be treated with a hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus. In the United States alone 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year, making hysterectomies the second most common procedure in the U.S. Hysterectomies may offer a life-saving treatments for serious conditions like cancer and uncontrollable bleeding.
If your physician recommends a hysterectomy, you may be a candidate for a less invasive procedure called da Vinci™ Hysterectomy. This procedure uses a state-of-the-art surgical system designed to help your surgeon perform a more precise, minimally invasive surgical procedure.
The benefits of da Vinci™ Hysterectomy may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less risk of infection
- Less scarring due to small incisions
- Shorter recovery time
- A faster return to normal daily activities
- And in many cases, better clinical outcomes
While hysterectomies are relatively safe, it may not be appropriate or necessary for all individuals and conditions. Alternative treatments that may preserve the uterus and ovaries might be available. Be sure to ask your doctor about all of your treatment options, as well as their potential risks and benefits.

Hey guys!
We are finally in Italy. We arrived last night after a very, very long day. The jet lag was horrible last night, but after a full night of sleep, I'd say the husband and I are used to the time already. We had some hiccups at the Paris airport, and found out that one of my bags (my most important bag) was sent to Amsterdam. It was just a rough day. :(
Today while hubs was in processing, I went out with a new friend and went to lunch and ventured into Downtown Vicenza. I am seriously so in love with everything. I'm already dreading moving back to the states and that's not even for another three years. I just love it here so much.
So far, we've gotten cell phones, gotten a little familiar with the post, and hubs has done some in processing. Not too much happened today, but I'll certainly keep you updated. As soon as I get my bag from Venice, I will be posting more "beauty" related topics, rather than just updating you all on my personal life. :) That is a huge reason why I am so sad/angry about my bag not coming in. I have nothing to blog about other than my day to day and Army life. Soon though, I'll be able to post about what I had intended.

Construction of an 800,000-square-foot warehouse along Route 412 in the Majestic Bethlehem Center is slated to start next month with completion by December and full operation by next March, company and city officials said.
Crayola projects employing between 60 and 80 people at the facility. Based in Forks Township, the company will be the first tenant in the Majestic Bethlehem Center planned on 440-plus acres between Route 412 and Applebutter Road in Bethlehem.
Majestic Realty Co. will build the warehouse and lease it to Crayola.
Crayola in 2003 signed a 10-year lease for a 550,000-square-foot warehouse in Fredericksburg, Pa., according to Pete Ruggiero, executive vice president of Crayola Global Operations.
Since that time, Crayola's business has almost doubled and company officials recognized the time and cost savings in having a distribution center closer to its Forks and Bethlehem township manufacturing facilities in Northampton County, Ruggiero said.
"It will allow us to optimize our logistics and warehouse operations under one roof, expand operations near our domestic manufacturing and office operations, and improve our product flow," Crayola President and CEO Mike Perry said in a statement. "It will provide us with greater efficiencies, cost savings and improved customer service."The company's choice to locate its primary distribution center in Bethlehem also signifies its ongoing commitment to Crayola operations in the Lehigh Valley, Perry added.
Crayola also leases two smaller distribution centers in Bethlehem Township, Pa., and Hanover Township, Lehigh County. The estimated 20 employees at those sites will likely move to the new Bethlehem facility when it opens, Ruggiero said.
The Fredericksburg employees may stay on with their third-party operator who has other clients in the area, Ruggiero said.
Crayola is one of the Lehigh Valley's largest employers, with about 1,080 employees, most of whom work at the headquarters at 1100 Church Lane on Forks Township.
The company was formed in 1903 by co-founders Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith. It renamed itself from Binney & Smith Inc. to Crayola LLC in January 2007.
The Crayola warehouse is the latest in a string of large warehouses proposed on Bethlehem's former Bethlehem Steel Corp. land. Liberty Property Trust has begun construction on 1.2 million square feet of warehouse space in the 1,000-acre Lehigh Valley Industrial Park VII, which is adjacent to Majestic. Liberty Property Trust has plans for another 800,000 square feet of warehouse space in LVIP VII, city officials recently announced.
At full build-out, the Majestic Bethlehem Center is projected to be 8
million square feet, comprising light industrial, manufacturing, data
center and distribution facilities, company officials said.
"Crayola is an industry leader and one of the most recognized and well-regarded brands in the U.S.," Ed Konjoyan, Majestic's vice president, said in a statement. "We are honored they have selected the Majestic Bethlehem Center for such an important facility."Plans are on hold for a 482,591-square-foot data storage facility, which was to be Majestic's first tenant, Callahan said.
"A lot of hard work has been put into making this old brownfield appeal to today's users," Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan said in a statement. "Crayola is an excellent first tenant and I look forward to welcoming them into Bethlehem."
Majestic Bethlehem Center, like Lehigh Valley Industrial Park VII, is a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance zone. The designation gives complete municipal, school and county tax relief on new construction during a company's first year of operation. The relief decreases by 10 percent each year over 10 years.

You missed the sarcasm then
IMO, I wasn't fully convinced by the [
Not enough tinfoil.
amfM, G, buddy, pal...
...it has nothing at all to do with search engines. That's a distraction. Hand waving for hte masses looking for a conspiracy theory. It's the misdirection to keep folks away from the wheels within the wheels. The real secret here is that of the nascent Google Internet. When you look at it; these folks have constructed an entirely parallel infrastructure that while (currently) bonded to the public internet is wholly separate. This isn't about controlling the media with search results or whatnot. At least not yet. The goal is to make everyone look away from the construction of this massive information network of thiers.
Once they have it perfected…once it's large enough that you can't avoid it – can't live or work without it – then they have you. Then they /can/ tweak the results. They can change the truth. Then they can do whatever they want because it is a "private" network as opposed to the "public" one. Decades of "Well, you can just go somewhere else" needs to be ground into us first. The concept that Google Is Not And Never Will Be A Monopoly is the critical factor.
Get the peasants uppity about privacy. Make them worry about search results on the main engine or a dozen other minor items that distract and confuse. In the background get everyone addicted to your information cocaine and ensure that the only "pure" supply is locked up behind the chocolate factory doors. IF they do it right, then their control over information and media will be so absolute that with the flick of a switch governments will fall.
If they screw it up (which is infinitely more likely, as people are fallible) then they will make an enormous faux pas too early on and get dismantled. Google are playing the long game here. The stakes aren't merely control over a few tidbits of media or a small altering of some aspects of information. The stakes are nothing short of the complete and utter control of /all/ information everywhere. That requires not only the ability to change the truth to suit your needs, but it requires getting the entire world addicted to – and then dependant on – that information to function in the first place.
Once we reach the point where you could no more break up Google than declare that automobiles were illegal in the USA…the game is truly on.
Controlling the media
If Google really wants to control what every UK journalist thinks and writes, they merely need to take over Wikipedia, as that's where *all* UK journalists source their material these days. Nobble that, nobble the entire UK media. Simples.
Google can upload the gTruth, then watch them all fall one by one from its grassy Knol™.
Wait until you see them sponsor maternity units in hospitals. That's the cue for them finally chipping, weighing and DNA profiling us all at birth. And if they have the statistics to show you're probably going to become a criminal when you grow up, they'll ban you from drinking Sunny Delight and send you to Kinderborstal as soon as you can walk.
The only consolation is that Apple didn't get there first, patent DNA and then sue anything that uses it, before being sued itself by Motorola who claim to have patented suing, only for Apple to throw in a last minute twist (like a good old fashioned John iMcEnroe vs The Björg match) when it reveals it actually patented patenting in 1996 - And was granted it by the US patent office!
The lawyers *literally* came in their pants. True.
I like this post.
re: Maternity unit sponsorship
just saying :)
Name me one site
That does not cherry-pick what to report to suit their own agendas. You will be hard pushed.
Even El-Reg is at it, with cherry picked stories from TS and AO pretty much every week.
"mitigating any negative media coverage"
Looks like El Reg will be on the target list, then.
I Have My Fingers In My Ears
No Google bashing, I don't want to hear it. Google can do no evil. They say so, therefore it must be true.
I thought just about everyone had swallowed Google's sweet little fluffy cloud front already. I have.
I feel safe using Google search in my Chrome browser. It's not as though they're a global corporation who's only ethos is profit, like Microsoft, now is it?
They're just a bunch of nice geeks hanging out and doing their best to help us all.
The last thing they would do is to brainwash anybody.
I demand my right to use Google on my terms
Er no. You use it on their terms.
If you don't like that, don't use it.
Most of the comments here are so snide about Google's intentions. If they want to make money, so what? If they want to provide a free service, so what? Users have no contract with them, unlike with the convicted monopolists Microsoft, yet which company has (voluntarily) chosen to do more good for society? That would be Google.
Demanding your "rights" is no different than the public servants (sic) demanding they have a "right" to a final salary pension. You might not like it, but it certainly isn't a right.
If you never use Google or the internet ever again (and millions of people don't, even in the UK), they sky won't fall in.
Location Location, Location
Had several "you used to know your way around the Scientific Method" moments a while back. Particles and waves, that sort of thing. Anyway, there is something that the Google's of the world really don't want you to know about how stuff works. If someone does something sublimely stupid in say London, then it's only officially stupid 24 hours + 1 second later when the time of day has passed everywhere on the globe when people are bored enough, or sober enough, or awake enough to find out what sublimely stupid Londoners did. You can be bombarded with the News and the news, but nobody, even Google, can change the period of the stupidity wave as it makes it's way across the globe. However sublime the stupidity, wake me up at 3am to tell me about it and I am not going to thank you. The 24 hours is fixed, the 1 second is the time it takes the world to say "yup, really stupid".
To make a too long (sorry) story short the stupidity wave vanishes after 1 day + one second. Nobody remembers it was there unless you do imaging for a living or are an early 20th Century Physicist. But once you have the idea in your head, it easy to calculate the order in which news of the stupidity seemed to reach you, and you already know how long it takes to get to everybody. This is a location - and that's what Google does not want you to know.
There is no bonus for being first in line at the voting booth, as much as advertisers want you to think so.
should one profit/power hungry corporation be different from another.
this makes google sound like murdoch with wires.

In case you missed it, model Michael Girgenti has been claiming for months that "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Kourtney Kardashian's baby Mason is his and not Scott Disick's, as Kourtney says.
Girgenti and Kardashian met on a photo shoot in 2009 (pictured, left) and Girgenti claims their unprotected sex led to the birth of her son.
TMZ has obtained the cease and desist letter that Kourtney's lawyer, Shawn Holley, has fired off to Girgenti. The letter alleges that Girgenti had the nerve to say he'd drop his paternity claim if Kourtney paid him. Holley reportedly threatens to ask the judge to make Girgenti pay for alleged extortion.
The letter also alleges that Girgenti is not the father because Disick has a DNA test to prove it and that Girgenti knows he's not the father because he flunked a polygraph. Holley previously called the paternity suit a "shameful attempt to gain publicity and profit."

Plaint against imposters posing as former Goa CM
Panaji, Jan 3 (IANS) Former Goa chief minister Digambar Kamat has lodged a police complaint against some imposters who are calling up senior Congress leaders in his name and seeking money for "personal emergencies".
In his complaint Thursday, Kamat has said the conmen had been seeking lakhs of rupees to pay for urgencies ranging from accidents to sudden illnesses.
"Several Congress leaders Gurudas Kamat (of Maharashtra), (former Punjab chief minister) Amrinder Singh and (cabinet minister) Sachin Pilot were telephoned by the impersonators," police said.
A first information report had been filed under section 420 (cheeating) of the Indian Penal Code.
Earlier in October 2012, an unidentified man posing as Kamat had convinced Congress MP from Maharashtra and newspaper baron Vijay Darda to shell out Rs.34 lakh.
An FIR to the effect had been filed at a police station in Pune.

naughty cliff putting ads on Win 10 forum - ow! gerrof I am joking!
naughty cliff putting ads on Win 10 forum - ow! gerrof I am joking!
actually the ads are for when Microsoft starts charging for windows 10 if you want your copy to remain a free version. as long as you pay for your copy no ads. now windows store apps are a different story. but most of us do not bother with the windows store. myself i only use accuweather from the store and the 2 times a day i open it i can deal with the ad across the top. as for the rest of the apps that do come with 10 i just uninstall them all.
Would not be so bad if the OS was free but its not. Unlike most other OS out there.
I have been using Windows 10 Pro since it came out and I have not noticed any ads from MS. I do not use any aps from the windows store...just flow-blown applications. Maybe that is why I have not noticed any ads.
Get Office app is now uninstalled :) that was easy, thanks everyone.
