Clay, Cast on Promo Trail
Clay Aiken joins 2012 Celebrity Apprentice cast.
Celeb Apprentice Debuts Feb. 19
From the moment Donald Trump officially presented the new Celebrity Apprentice cast on Wednesday's Today Show, the 18 candidates have whirled through a continuous, sometimes crazy, merry-go-round of multimedia promos.
Through individual videos, NBC provided a brief intro to each candidate. Mashable Entertainment picked up the videos and tabbed the line-up as the Most Connected Cast Yet.
To stay connected to Clay and read the latest about Celebrity Apprentice from his perspective, follow the singer at Twitter and Facebook.
The series, which debuts on NBC on Feb. 19, is also being advertised through interviews on every show and site imaginable. The screen cap below links to a TV Guide interview of Clay Aiken and Lisa Lampanelli.
Just Jared provided individual photos of the 18 Celebrity Apprentice candidates. Follow the link to read the complete story:

Clay Aiken, Aubrey O'Day, George Takei, and Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice will be vying for the title while competing for each of their charities.
"Being in front of [Donald] Trump is more intimidating than [being in front of Simon Cowell]. That's because you realize his success is real outside of TV. Whereas with Cowell, I don't deny him his value – but singing is not his expertise," Clay, who once was runner-up on American Idol, told Today.

Not to be missed is The Dead Bolt interview: Adam Carolla Surprised by Clay Aiken. The Inclusion Project received excellent publicity in the CBS story: Clay Aiken's National Inclusion Project To Benefit from His Celebrity Apprentice Appearance.
For Clay Aiken fans, the most appealing paragraph in Friday's Astrochicks story is -- appropriately -- the second:
... the rumor is Clay Aiken is the one to watch this season. Hollyscoop talked to several cast members Wednesday, and it seems everybody is raving about Aiken.
The photo above links to the Root Music Player on Clay's Facebook page. Once there, you can listen to "Unchained Melody," "Bring Back My Love," "Suspicious Minds," "Misty," "The Way," and "Invisible."
Clay Aiken: New Facebook photo
Here is one for the Clay Nation from Highlight Hollywood:
When Highlight Hollywood reported last week that handsome and talented singer Clay Aiken would be on Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice," which airs on NBC, we had no idea there would be such a magnificent reaction. [snip]
We try to focus on everyone, who has something positive going on in their lives, and we also hit hard news. [snip] But it is very rare that a celebrity has such a huge following, and yet their fans are so genuinely gracious, kind and supportive, generous in spirit and all around awesome! Clay Aiken has such fans.
His fans embraced his decision to appear on "Celebrity Apprentice" and they all believe as we do, that he'll be the winner of the competition. Donald Trump is a great showman. [snip]
But it's great when he picks someone as charismatic, talented and genuinely kind as Clay Aiken to appear as a contestant on his highly-rated series "Celebrity Apprentice," which thanks to Clay's wonderful fans will be even higher rated than any previous season.
Thanks, Aiken fans, for showing Highlight Hollywood and the world, that you back the right guy, and that you all have as much class he Clay does! You do him proud!
Set your Tivo and other recording devices for 9 pm ET Feb. 19-May 27. If this week's publicity, Twitter and Facebook social networking activities are any indication, the Clay Nation and the National Inclusion Project are in for one heckuva ride this spring.
Hold onto your hat, and have an awesome week, all!

Males born in Wisconsin receive certain gifts at birth: a full keg of beer, a cow suitable for tipping, coronary arteries good for about fifty years of unlimited dairy and brat consumption (smoking not included), and the guarantee that tailgating without leaving one's apartment or home is not a punishable offense in non-football months. Greenbush Boy believes females born within the state receive at birth pink sedatives to deal with what lays ahead for them, though he is not sure of that.
When Greenbush Boy left Wisconsin for Los Angeles, he took with him only the keg of beer and his quarter-clogged arteries. Elsie the Cow had long since left his backyard for some fast talking bovine who would lead her down far too many garden paths. Eventually they did marry and produce fine tippers of their own. Greenbush Boy's tailgating activities ended when he moved to a town that made movies about fantasy football rivalries but had no interest in a real team of their own.
One Sunday, when none of the sporting events actually interested him, and many decades before poker tournaments became a spectator sport worth breaking a six pack over, Greenbush Boy found himself walking along a gentrified stretch of Melrose Avenue. By the early 90s Melrose Avenue had morphed from a scarred battle zone of flop houses, bath houses, and abandoned houses to a trendy neighborhood filled with vintage clothing shops, antiquarian book dealers, art galleries, and burger shops with valet parking.
Now Greenbush Boy prides himself on being a big art connoisseur. Usually his tastes drift towards pieces where human-like children stare out at you with saucer eyes, or dogs play poker in smoke-filled basements, or large breasted women, wearing less apparel than he does in a shower, wash hot rods. Occasionally he'll walk through a gallery serving wine and cheese and just stare at a piece of artwork that catches his fancy. The more Greenbush Boy stares, the more he drinks. The more he drinks, the more he drools out opinions on art, politicis, religon, and city politics to whomever is around. Then like the third act of a movie, someone takes ubrage with his words and decks him.
Now Greenbush Boy never drank to the point where he awoke in a bed with bags of coke around him, in a city he never heard of, next to a dead hooker named Celia or Kalie or Felice. But semi-expensive wine, especially out of cans or brown paper bags, has always played havoc with his metabolism. He finds out weeks later about the strange and wondrous purchases made in his name using on smudgy receipts. Two such purchases are these pieces by an artist named ELLIOT.
These two pieces still fascinate Greenbush Boy as a combination of both Harvey and Howard exists within him. He used a foot pail one time to boil some eggs, but forgot to change the water. He hasn't eaten a boiled egg since. The house dress was requisitioned by an ex girlfriend who found it absurd he would dare wear such an item with flip flops. The flip flops were hers as well.

Yacon & Sunroot
tIngredients: 100% Pure Organic Premium Peruvian Yacon Root
At first I was a little skeptical about all this. However, as I started to dig deeper and researched all of the details, I came upon some clinical trials that shows that Yacon Syrup has the potential to produce a significant decrease in body we!ght, waist circumference and body mass index. Furthermore, it has the potential to increase defecation frequency, improve transit time and satiety sensation. It also has the potential to have positive results on diabetes, by reducing blood glucose levels, glycemia, cholesterol and so much more. In just a moment, I will show you all of the clinical trials that show all of this.
If you want to see the Dr. Oz Yacon Syrup episode trailer for yourself, check out the video below:
Now that a month has gone by, if you look online, we are still practically the only company with Yacon Syrup in stock. Most online stores have stated for over a month now, "Available in 2 - 3 weeks". There are a couple of sites that supposedly put Yacon Syrup in caps in a supplement bottle with half nude women all over it, which is obviously some kind of a snake-oil hoax, from my perspective. The other couple of sources of Yacon Syrup out there are charging $40 per bottle, and I would be surprised if they aren't dilluted or adulterated products.
Below is a good explanation from the Dr. Oz website on why Yacon Syrup works. I found the clinical study here where they state Yacon has the potential to help increase bone density and delay the progression of Osteoprosis. Here is the clinical trial that shows the prebiotic effects of Yacon and also it being a source of FOS and phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity.
From doctoroz.com:
How It Works:
Yacon's FOS also help feed beneficial bacteria in the colon such as Bifidus and Lactobacillus. Studies have linked these good bowel bacteria to anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting effects, and increasing their numbers may help maintain a healthy we!ght. In turn, these bacteria convert FOS to short-chain fatty acids, which help inhibit ch0lesterol synthesis in the liver and enhance tissue sensitivity to insulin. FOS has also been shown to modulate the production of certain gastrointestinal peptides that participate in gastric emptying rates and help regulate insulin levels and food intake. Yacon, therefore, may also help control appetite and food cravings, helping people eat less. Yacon has the potential to help with metabolic syndrome, high ch0lesterol and diabetes.
The potential benefits don't end there. Yacon consumption also appears to increase absorption of dietary minerals, and may make calcium more bioavailable. Studies have shown this could help increase bone density and delay the progression of osteoporosis. Studies also show that neutraceuticals, especially fructans such as Yacon, may increase the efficiency of the immune system, lower infection risk and reduce digest!ve allerg!es.
Ingredients: 100% Pure Organic Premium Peruvian Yacon Root
Our Organic Yacon Syrup is a delicious low glycemic sweetener with a molasses-like flavor, made from a South American tuber that looks like a potato yet tastes more like an apple.

Details are still sketchy at this point, but apparently there was a little brouhaha on the campus of Florida State University yesterday and we don't want to alarm you ... but the football team may have been involved. Campus police say about ten individuals were involved (including at least two women), four people were treated for injuries, and at the moment, no one has been arrested. Beyond that, no one official is saying anything, including Bobby Bowden who wouldn't let players or assistants speak to the media after practice. But if an actual legitimate newspaper can just beg readers to send them information than we can probably just post completely unverified message board postings and consider that our service to you:
"I'm still working on the details but about an hour ago at Union Wednesday which is held every Wednesday about half of the Seminole football team jumped an African American fraternity called the Sigmas while they were "strolling". Some of the Sigmas were sent to the hospital. The football players seemed possessed they were body slamming kids and throwing chairs. It was crazy. Supposedly [freshman linebacker] Nigel Bradham was at a local club here last Thursday called Floyds and one of the Sigmas disrespected his woman. So it finally spilled over today. I knew something had to be up because there's never too many football players at Union Wednesday but they were out today for obvious reasons."
I'd say there's a 65% chance that nothing in that paragraph other than the word "Wednesday" is true. Rivals says it was the Seminoles leading receiver Taiwan Easterling who was initially involved before the rest of the wide receivers came to his aid. Whatever the case, Tallahassee has turned into Act 3 of West Side Story, which is exactly what you want before a big primetime game. We're going to need some shaky YouTube footage of flying chairs to really sort this thing out. Several FSU football players allegedly involved in campus brawl [Orlando Sentinel] FSU Football Players, Frat Members Fight On Campus [Tampa Tribune] Seminole players involved in altercation [Rivals] We want to know: Did you witness the 'brawl' Wednesday on FSU's campus?

When Apple's proxy filing revealed new CEO Tim Cook's total compensation for 2011 was almost $400 million, many people (at least in our comments) were freaking out.
Regardless of how you slice it, Cook will be making a lot of money over the next 10 years.
He didn't get $400 million in the bank last year, he was granted 1 million in restricted stock options. Half of those options vest in 2016, and the other half vest in 2021.
But those options will be worth a lot. If Cook can keep Apple's stock near its current levels that means he'll earn around $40 million a year for the next 10 years. If the stock price craters, and is at $200 on average over the next 10 years, he'll make $20 million per year on average.
(We're not judging Cook's salary. If he can keep the company cranking along, then he mostly deserves it.)
What will Cook do with all of his moolah? Probably nothing. Just like Apple tends not to spend its massive pile of cash, Cook tends not to spend his own piles of cash.
According to an excerpt of the forthcoming book, " Inside Apple," Cook is "extraordinarily frugal." Philip Elmer DeWitt at Fortune has the excerpt:
In an organization that frowned on talking about money, Cook was extraordinarily frugal. Well after he had sold more than $100 million in Apple stock, he rented a modest home in Palo Alto, a little over a mile from where Jobs lived. (In 2010, Cook finally bought a house of his own, not far from his previous rental, but hardly an extravagant one. Public records indicate he purchased the house for $1.9 million, which in Palo Alto qualifies as a modest abode.) Asked why he lived so humbly, he once said: "I like to be reminded of where I came from, and putting myself in modest surroundings helps me do that. Money is not a motivator for me."

MIDDLEBURY — On July 9 in Addison Superior Court, Vergennes Union High School Co-Principal Edwin Webbley pleaded no contest to a charge of careless or negligent operation of a motor vehicle in a plea deal that ended a case against him that began on Feb. 6, when Vermont State Police alleged he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to court documents, Webbley, a 57-year-old Bristol resident and the Vermont Principals' Association 2010 Robert F. Pierce Vermont Secondary Principal of the Year, was fined $400 for the offense, plus $201 in surcharges.

MIDDLEBURY — Former Addison Central Supervisory Union Superintendent Lee Sease has filed a lawsuit against his former employer in U.S. District Court, claiming he was unlawfully fired last spring.
Sease further claims he was not given reasons for his termination and alleges he was not given a chance to be heard on the matter. He is urging the court to award him damages, including lost wages and benefits. Sease received a total annual compensation package (salary and benefits) of $127,321, according to court records.
MIDDLEBURY — Addison County resident Beth Robinson's impressive resume got a little more stellar on Tuesday. The longtime attorney, victorious co-counsel in the Baker v. Vermont marriage equality case, and current general counsel to Gov. Peter Shumlin learned that she will serve on the state's highest court.
MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Supreme Court (VSC) on Oct. 18 will convene for the first time in modern history in Addison County. The five justices will hear six cases and offer local citizens a first-hand glimpse into the workings of the state's highest tribunal.
SALISBURY — Middlebury College faculty member Kateri Carmola pleaded "no contest" to an embezzlement charge in Addison County District Court on July 11 for allegedly siphoning $4,500 from the Salisbury Historical Society during a three-month period last year.
MIDDLEBURY — The Frank Mahady Courthouse in Middlebury will be even busier than usual this week. No, officials aren't anticipating a spike in legal cases; rather, they will be in the midst of a major reorganization of services within the 40,000-square-foot building.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County State's Attorney's Office will soon be in the market for a new, part-time prosecutor to focus on cases involving crimes against women.
Addison County Deputy State's Attorney Teri Ames will be stepping down from her job this Wednesday, June 30, to spend more time with family.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury-based cidermaker Green Mountain Beverage (GMB) is suing a former employee whom it alleges stole company secrets for use in the making of his own brand of hard cider.
MIDDLEBURY — A Bridport man pleaded innocent in Addison County District Court on Monday to charges of simple assault with a weapon and reckless endangerment, in connection with the accidental shooting of a neighbor on Aug. 13, 2010.
State authorities who investigated the case allege that Tracy M. Stone, 35, had alcohol in his system and was knowingly firing a malfunctioning firearm at the time that Peter Damone, then 76, was struck in the left arm and face by a .45-calibre round while grilling on his porch almost a half a mile away.

This week, Amazon announced a new addition to their AWS web service Amazon Glacier, which offers "extremely low cost archive storage" and easy setup for anyone already familiar with AWS. Though the pricing model seems convoluted, the continued expansion of Amazon's cloud computing services is good news for developers.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="diagram from All Things Distributed"][/caption]
First, the bad news: because it's designed as "cold storage," Glacier expects users to store much more data than they retrieve--on the order of "Terabytes, Petabytes, and beyond." As described on the AWS Blog, there is no setup fee for Glacier, and storage pricing starts at one cent ($0.01) per gigabyte (GB) per month. Simple enough, right? And "[y]ou can retrieve up to 5% of your average monthly storage, pro-rated daily, for free each month." But the pro-rating means that you can only actually retrieve 0.17% of your data on any given day of that month. And things get more complicated if you exceed that 5% threshold.
An analysis by Klint Finley on the Wired Enterprise blog pointed out that Amazon's Glacier FAQ says they will "calculate your fee based upon the peak hourly usage from the days in which you exceeded your allowance," but doesn't specify how Amazon calculates "peak hourly usage." An addendum to Finley's analysis quoted "an Amazon spokesperson" as saying: "For a single request the billable peak rate is the size of the archive, divided by four hours, minus the pro-rated 5% free tier." Developers should do their homework to avoid paying for more retrieval requests than necessary.
Now some good news: on his All Things Distributed blog, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels says that "Amazon S3 will [soon] introduce an option that will allow customers to seamlessly move data between Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier based on data lifecycle policies." It's nice to see that Amazon is keeping their "storage solutions that can serve almost all scenarios" integrated under the AWS umbrella with compatible SDKs.
For more detailed technical information, see the API Reference for Amazon Glacier.

Every week, Texas on the Potomac presents your favorite postings of the previous week. Today, we offer an encore of the top ten postings for the week ending July 23.
1. Texans know a lot about Rick Perry already — after all, he's been governor longer than anyone else in Lone Star history and he's dominated the state's political news for a decade. Still, there are a lot of things that Texans don't know about Perry. Learn about them here>>>
2. Texas on the Potomac compiled a photo gallery of the top ten weapons of choice of the Mexican drug cartels. Will Tucker reports>>>
3. Rep. Ron Paul is a straight-shooting politician who is beloved by constituents in an ever-changing congressional district. Now that he has announced he will not run for re-election, the Libertarian is charting a new course to win the White House. Gary Martin reports>>>
4. Gov. Rick Perry has absolutely no interest in being the No. 2 pick on a national ticket, his chief consultant said last week. Later in the week, Perry compared the vice president job to a bucket of "warm spit" (That's the sanitized version), borrowing a line from the famous John Nance Garner. Peggy Fikac reports>>>
5. As the nation (and its Republicans) awaits Gov. Rick Perry's yay-or-nay presidential announcement with bated breath, speculations abound. Although some — from analysts to fellow politicians — see Perry's out-of-state appearances and phone calls to donors as a sure sign that it's just a matter of time until the governor throws his hat in the presidential ring, others are less convinced. Andrea Vasquez reports>>>
6. Perry spent much of the last year insisting he had no interest in the Oval Office, and much of the past two months flirting with the idea of a run for the 2012 presidential race. Now the governor seems to be on the verge of going all in. He told a newspaper in Iowa that he is getting "more and more comfortable" with a run. Andrea Vasquez reports>>>
7. Sen. John Cornyn seems to have had a change of heart — or at least a change of tone — on a potential presidential bid for Gov. Rick Perry. The Texas Republican said that 2012 was Perry's best chance to run for president — a departure from statements he made in June telling the governor the Republican field was rather full. Lauren French reports>>>
8. As Americans waved goodbye to NASA's shuttle program last Thursday, Texas Gov. Rick Perry blasted President Barack Obama for shutting down the nation's "legacy of leadership" — a move he claims will leave "American astronauts with no alternative but to hitchhike in space." Sarah Tung reports>>>
9. The Texas governor is soliciting for an Aug. 9 fundraiser at the exclusive Austin Club and is asking donors to shell out between $1,000 to $100,000. Donors who write a $100,000 check – payable to Texans for Rick Perry – will receive 6 tickets to a private reception and 4 tickets to a general reception. Lauren French reports>>>
10. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is aggressively examining a presidential candidacy but has not declared his intentions, will not appear on the influential Ames Straw Poll. Lauren French reports>>>

Capt. Sharon Raydor, one of the highest-ranking women in a fictional TV version of the Los Angeles Police Department, is the ultimate "Lean In" type of gal.
Played by two-time Oscar nominee Mary McDonnell on TNT's hit drama "Major Crimes," this top cop spends her days putting away bad guys, following the letter of the law and corralling her rogue detectives. And she's not trying, even for a moment, to be anyone's best friend.
"She's concerned with doing what's right, not with what people think about her," McDonnell said recently during a break in filming this season's expanded order of 19 episodes. "It's more of a male energy."
So if Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg hadn't written the bestseller "Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead," maybe Raydor would have? The unflappable cop will continue to thrive in a male-dominated world when "Major Crimes" returns Monday to TNT, where it planted its flag as the No. 1 new drama on cable last year with an average 7 million viewers.
James Duff, creator of "Major Crimes" and its predecessor, "The Closer," said he wants viewers to respect and relate to Raydor, the politically savvy chief of detectives.
But like her? It wasn't his goal, even as he took her from guest player on "The Closer" to the center of the "Major Crimes" ensemble. And that helps illustrate how far TV, especially cable, has come in its portrayals of women, he said.
"You wouldn't have seen this character 20 years ago," Duff said. "Instead, it was Joan Collins and Linda Evans having a catfight on 'Dynasty.' Now we can do something more substantive. And Mary wants a morally complex role."
McDonnell, who has appeared in such dramas as "ER" and "Grey's Anatomy," said TV has become the go-to place for complicated female characters. One of her best-known characters has been President Laura Roslin, who ruled the Twelve Colonies while fighting breast cancer in the sci-fi series "Battlestar Galactica."
"There's something about this medium that's allowing women's stories to be told, finally," McDonnell said. "TV has been the heart song of my career for the past 10 years."
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
While some critics may see "Major Crimes" as a by-the-book crime procedural, Duff thinks it's unique — and not just for starring an iron-willed female in a powerful job.
McDonnell, Oscar-nominated for her roles in the blockbuster "Dances With Wolves" and the indie flick "Passion Fish," is, at 61, not the typical female TV lead. And one of her closest relationships on the show is with a gay teenager and former street hustler whom she takes under her wing.
"If I'd pitched it just like that, no one would've ever put it on the air," Duff said. "It has an unexpected edge to it."
In the upcoming season, audiences will get a glimpse of the emotional side of Raydor, including a visit from her not-quite-ex-husband, played by Tom Berenger. And her surrogate son, Rusty, played by Graham Patrick Martin, will continue to have a significant role in her life.
"She deepens," McDonnell said. "It's not inconsistent with who she is, but we'll see more layers."

After the last Grammy was handed out Sunday, the dash toward one of the night's countless post-show parties was immediate. It was the last night of partying till the wee hours to celebrate big wins -- or drown those losses with an open-bar cocktail.
As crews worked to dissemble the many moving parts that made up the Grammy stage, hundreds of attendees crammed the Convention Center next door for the official after-party.
A very pregnant Ciara performed a lengthy set, and Boyz II Men repurposed its current Las Vegas show with a set packed with crowd-pleasing covers and hits.
The Convention Center had been transformed into a vaudeville showcase -- there were dancers dressed as gangsters and flappers, acrobats jumping and flipping on a giant trampoline and sexy burlesque dancers. All that was missing were circus animals (although Meek Mill's party in the Hollywood Hills apparently featured lions and camels).
Grammys 2014: Full coverage | Top nominees and winners | Red carpet | Show highlights
Across town, events from Universal Music Group, Republic Records, Billboard and Warner Music Group were among the night's hot tickets.
In the week leading up to Sunday's big show and parties, afternoons were filled with decedent brunches and late nights with artist showcases.
Here are a few highlights from the week:
On Wednesday, Essence's Annual Black Women in Music event celebrated British soul singer Emeli Sandé, who was curiously absent from the list of Grammy nominations. The event was held at 1 Oak, where the women's magazine placed the spotlight on Sandé, who performed from her debut, "Our Version of Events." The audience was packed with a who's who of R&B, including Ledisi, Michelle Williams, Leona Lewis, Kelis, Kelly Price, Sevyn Streeter, SWV, Tank and Chrisette Michele.
Miguel capped his recent banner year by anchoring a concert sponsored by Levi's at the Fonda in Hollywood. He spent the last year opening for Alicia Keys and Drake, and his set was another display of his nimble live presence.
Roc Nation's annual pre-Grammys brunch was Saturday's golden ticket. Another gathering of Jay Z's inner circle of elite power players, the incredibly exclusive affair -- we hear Lorde was among a number of acts that got turned away due to overcrowding -- was set up at the Beverly House, where such movies as "The Godfather" and "The Bodyguard" were filmed.
As guests filed into the back yard of the sprawling estate, copious amounts of Jay's endorsed cognac, D'Ussé, were passed around, and numerous stations packed with delectable dishes such as truffle mac and cheese, white cheddar grits and customized omelets got repeat visits.
TIMELINE: Grammy Awards through the years | PHOTOS: Best & worst dressed at the Grammys
The guest list was a doozy: Rihanna, J. Cole, Wale, Kelly Rowland, Willow and Jaden Smith, Calvin Harris, Rita Ora, Diane Warren, Ne-Yo, Grimes, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Meek Mill, T.I. and Sylvia Rhone could be spotted. Jay spent lots of time chatting with guests including longtime friend Steve Stoute as they enjoyed one of the fresh cigars hand-rolled on-site.
Late Saturday, Ne-Yo's annual Midnight Brunch packed Lure Nightclub in Hollywood. Will Smith held court in a booth, waving and posing for pictures with partygoers. Paris Hilton was spotted grooving on the dance floor while singer Marsha Ambrosius and friends took shots of the Ne-Yo-endorsed Malibu Red (rum infused with tequila, it's tasty -- and potent). Akon, Tamar Braxton, MGK, Cassie and Omarion were also spotted taking in the festivities, which featured a spread of late-night eats including chicken and waffles.
If there was an award for Grammy party of the year, the honor would undoubtedly go to Dr. Dre's and Jimmy Iovine's launch party for Beats Music.
The line to get into the Belasco Theater stretched down the block more than two hours before Friday's top-secret show was scheduled to begin.
To drum up excitement for its much-hyped, recently released music-streaming app that's supposed to be a sturdy competition to Spotify, Dre and Iovine had a single mission: to bring a playlist to life.
PHOTOS: Grammys 2014 - UMG and Billboard after-parties
The party showcased a '90s hip-hop Beats playlist curated by Eminem's longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, as performed by the artists themselves. Over a tightly packed hour, some of hip-hop's most revered acts breezed through the hits that helped define the decade.
The once-in-a-lifetime show was a rap fan's fantasy come to life. Opening was Ice Cube with his classic "Today Was a Good Day." Cypress Hill, Geto Boys, Souls of Mischief, Pharcyde, Method Man & Redman, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Nas quickly followed. And then came Dr. Dre, Blackstreet, Diddy and Mase, Busta Rhymes and a surprise medley from Eminem, who closed the show with "My Name Is," ''Forgot About Dre" and "Lose Yourself."
Jazzy Jeff served as the DJ and the iconic Fab Five Freddy hosted the event. J. Cole and Miguel were spotted watching from one balcony, while Pink could be seen dancing along on an adjacent balcony. Paul McCartney held court in the VIP area, sitting between Macklemore and Iovine, and Drake was flanked by an entourage as he headed to a corner to take in the show.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The women's basketball team at Georgia College & State University (16-7, 11-5 PBC) weathered both the storm outside and inside the Centennial Center tonight (Feb. 18) against Georgia Southwestern State University (7-18, 2-16) upending the Hurricanes 51-44 on "Senior Night."
The Bobcats were led by junior forward, Antoinette Reames (Orlando, Fla.) who posted her fourth double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 boards, eight of which were defensive. This marks the second straight game where Reames has posted a double-double. The 16 points also ties her season high. Reames also recorded two blocks which moves her to 62 on the season and in her career at Georgia College. Reames jumps past Cassie Miliner (2004-2008) into eighth place on the all-time block list.
Snellville native Mandi Dudish contributed 12 points and grabbed six rebounds. Shandrea Moore (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) aided her fellow teammates giving out seven assists.
A key statistic tonight for the Bobcats was their ability to make free-throws in the second half as they shot .700 (7-10). Also, in the second half the Bobcats were able to shut down Nadirah Gardner who scored 10 points in the first half, but only finished the game with 12.
Gardner was aided by Brandi Burris and Clarissa Corbett who each scored eight points.
"Senior Night" took place before the game as Tonisha Wimbish (Ellenwood, Ga.), Tiauna Brantley (Woodstock, Ga.) and Emily Bixler (Lawrenceville, Ga.) were all presented with plaques and flowers.
Georgia College remains at the third slot in the PBC standings behind first place Francis Marion University (23-1, 16-1) and Clayton State University (20-4, 14-3).
The Bobcats are back to the courts Saturday, Feb. 21 for Homecoming as they face the Patriots of Francis Marion at 2 p.m.

Barbara Walters is ready to return to TV after bouncing back from her recent health scare.
The 83-year-old journalist was hospitalized after falling and hitting her head while in Washington, D.C. to cover President Barack Obama's inauguration last month.
She was then diagnosed with chicken pox and has spent the subsequent weeks recovering at her home in New York.
Now Walters has announced she will be back in her seat on daily talk show "The View" next week.
During an on-air call with her "The View" co-anchors on Tuesday, she said, "Like it or not, I'm coming back to the show again. No more chicken pox… I haven't been contagious for a while, but they wanted me to have rest, and I've had enough rest and I'm ready to come back."

Skin Ulcers
Skin ulcers are open sores that are often accompanied by the sloughing-off of inflamed tissue.
Skin ulcers can be caused by a variety of events, such as trauma, exposure to heat or cold, problems with blood circulation, or irritation from exposure to corrosive material. Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, are skin ulcers that develop on areas of the body where the blood supply has been reduced because of prolonged pressure; these may occur in people confined to bed or a chair, or in those who must wear a hard brace or plaster cast. Skin ulcers may become infected, with serious health consequences. Other health conditions that can cause skin ulcers include mouth ulcers (canker sores), chronic venous insufficiency, diabetes, infection, and peripheral vascular disease.
What are the symptoms of skin ulcers?
People with a skin ulcer may have an area of reddened skin. In advanced cases, people may have areas where the skin is open and oozing fluid.
Dietary changes that may be helpful for skin ulcers
Dietary deficiencies may hinder the body's ability to heal pressure ulcers. A controlled study of 28 malnourished nursing home patients with skin ulcers found that ulcer healing was significantly enhanced by a high-protein diet (24% protein) compared with a lower protein (14%) diet.1 A controlled study of critically ill older patients found that increasing calorie and protein intake with dietary supplements for 15 days reduced the risk of developing a skin ulcer.2
Nutritional supplements that may be helpful for skin ulcers
Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione are depleted in healing skin tissue.3 One animal study found that vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) applied to the skin shortened the healing time of skin ulcers.4 Another animal study reported that administration of oral vitamin E before skin lesions were introduced into the skin prevented some of the tissue damage associated with the development of pressure ulcers.5 A controlled human trial found that 400 IU of vitamin E daily improved the results of skin graft surgery for chronic venous ulcers.6 No further research has investigated the potential benefit of vitamin E for skin ulcers.
Animal research has suggested that vitamin C may help prevent skin ulcers,7 and in a preliminary study,8 elderly patients with pressure ulcers had lower blood levels of vitamin C than did ulcer-free patients. Supplementation with vitamin C (3 grams per day) increased the speed of healing of leg ulcers in patients with a blood disorder called thalassemia, according to a double-blind study.9 And while a double-blind trial of surgical patients with pressure ulcers found that supplementation with 500 mg of vitamin C twice a day accelerated ulcer healing,10 a similar double-blind trial found no difference in the effectiveness of either 20 mg per day or 1,000 mg per day of vitamin C.11
An older preliminary report suggested that large amounts of folic acid given both orally and by injection could promote healing of chronic skin ulcers due to poor circulation.12 No controlled research has further investigated this claim.
Zinc plays an important role in tissue growth processes important for skin ulcer healing. One study reported that patients with pressure ulcers had lower blood levels of zinc and iron than did patients without pressure ulcers,13 and preliminary reports suggested zinc supplements could help some types of skin ulcer.14 Supplementation with 150 mg of zinc per day improved healing in a preliminary study of elderly patients suffering from chronic leg ulcers.15 Double-blind trials using 135 to 150 mg of zinc daily have shown improvement16 only in patients with low blood zinc levels,17 and no improvement in leg ulcer healing.18 19 A double-blind trial of 150 mg zinc per day in people with skin ulcers due to sickle cell anemia found that the healing rate was almost three times faster in the zinc group than in the placebo group after six months.20 Lastly, a preliminary study of patients with skin ulcers due to leprosy found that 50 mg of zinc per day in addition to anti-leprosy medication resulted in complete healing in most patients within 6 to 12 weeks.21 Long-term zinc supplementation at these levels should be accompanied by supplements of copper and perhaps calcium, iron, and magnesium. Large amounts of zinc (over 50 mg per day) should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor.
Topically applied zinc using zinc-containing bandages has improved healing of leg ulcers in double-blind studies of both zinc-deficient22 and elderly individuals.23 Most controlled comparison studies have reported that these bandages are no more effective than other bandages used in the conventional treatment of skin ulcers,24 25 but one controlled trial found non-elastic zinc bandages superior to alginate dressings or zinc-containing elastic stockinettes.26 Two controlled trials of zinc-containing tape for foot ulcers due to leprosy concluded that zinc tape was similarly effective, but more convenient than conventional dressings.27 28
Pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers frequently develop in malnourished and/or institutionalized people. A double-blind study29 of malnourished people compared topical application of 20 ml of a solution containing essential fatty acids (EFAs) and linoleic acid extracted from sunflower oil with a control solution containing topical mineral oil. Each solution was applied to the skin three times per day. Compared with the control solution, the solution containing EFAs significantly reduced the incidence of pressure ulcers and improved the hydration and elasticity of the skin.
A preliminary report suggested that evening primrose oil improves blood flow to the legs and heals or reduces the size of venous leg ulcers.30 No controlled research has further investigated this claim.
A double-blind trial found that a combination of 900 mg per day of diosmin and 100 mg per day of hesperidin, two members of the flavonoid family, resulted in significantly greater healing of venous leg ulcers after two months.31 32 Related flavonoids known as hydroxyethylrutosides have also been investigated for venous ulcer healing. While one controlled study reported significant additional benefit when 2,000 mg per day of hydroxyethylrutosides were added to compression stocking therapy,33 another double-blind trial using 1,000 mg per day found no effect on ulcer healing;34 a second double-blind trial found no effect of 1,000 mg per day hydroxyethylrutosides on the prevention of venous ulcer recurrences.35
Are there any side effects or interactions with skin ulcers?
Refer to the individual supplement for information about any side effects or interactions.
Herbs that may be helpful for skin ulcers
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) extracts are sometimes used topically to help speed wound healing. Test tube studies have found that extracts of gotu kola high in the active triterpene constituents asiaticosides, madecassoides, asiatic acids, and madecassic acids increase collagen synthesis.36 37 An animal study found that topical application of asiaticoside isolated from gotu kola, used in a 0.2% solution, improved healing in nonulcer skin wounds.38 An overview of three small human clinical trials suggests that topical use of an ointment or powder containing a gotu kola extract high in the active triterpene compounds may speed wound healing in people with slow-healing skin ulcers.39 These studies used either a topical ointment with a 1% extract concentration or a powder with a 2% extract concentration. People in these studies were typically treated with intramuscular injections of either isolated asiaticosides or the mixed triterpenes three times per week while using the topical ointment or powder.
Aloe vera has been used historically to improve wound healing and contains several constituents that may be important for this effect. A group of three patients who had chronic skin ulcerations for 5, 7, and 15 years, respectively, had a rapid reduction in ulcer size after the application of aloe gel on gauze bandages to the ulcers, according to a preliminary report.40 A controlled study found most patients with pressure ulcers had complete healing after applying an aloe hydrogel dressing to the ulcers every day for ten weeks.41 However, this result was not significantly better than that achieved with a moist saline gauze dressing. The amorphous hydrogel dressing used in the above study and derived from the aloe plant (Carrasyn Gel Wound Dressing, Carrington Laboratories, Irving, TX) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the management of mild to moderate skin ulcers.
Are there any side effects or interactions with skin ulcers?
Refer to the individual herb for information about any side effects or interactions.
Holistic approaches that may be helpful for skin ulcers
A double-blind trial found systemic hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatments, in which the patient is placed in a chamber with highly concentrated oxygen, five days per week for six weeks significantly improved healing of nondiabetic chronic leg ulcers.42 This trial confirms the results from several preliminary studies of systemic HBO therapy.43 44 While topical application of HBO (the affected body part is encased in a balloon-like chamber and exposed to concentrated oxygen) for skin ulcers has been reported effective in preliminary trials,45 controlled trials have produced conflicting results.46 47 In controlled studies of diabetic patients with skin ulcers or gangrene, systemic HBO has been shown to prevent amputation of affected limbs.48 49
Electrical stimulation applied to the skin is thought to have several biological effects that might accelerate skin ulcer healing.50 A variety of techniques have been investigated, and controlled or double-blind trials have shown positive results for the use of low-voltage galvanic current, high-voltage pulsed current, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic therapy.51

Anne of Green Gables
The Continuing StoryDVD - 2001

CommentAdd a Comment
One of my favorite moments between orphan Anne Shirley and her adopted father Matthew Cuthbert: "I never wanted a boy. I only wanted you from the first day. Don't ever change. I love my little girl. I'm so proud of my little girl."
This is a great movie
There are no "seasons", only two original films, Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea, titles, as well, of the first two books in a series of nine written about the title character, by author Lucy Maud Montgomery. I believe there is also a third film, made in 2000, which tells the continuation of the Anne story.
Please can someone tell me that this is the first season I'm so confused why does it not say the seasons?
I love Anne of green gables! And I think I like the first part and the continuing story better. The ending was perfect and I was so happy when they decided to raise the baby.
Almost as charming as the books! I found myself smiling fondly at my TV screen the entire time I watched!
The first two are classics, but the third, veering off from the original books, couldn't live up to the others. The books are still the best though!
If you are after an old-fashioned love story then this is the series for you. Megan Follows just shines as the strong-willed heroine Anne who is trying to find her place in the world. Her sharp wit and penchant for trouble is irresistible to watch.
boo!!! horrible movie I have ever watched!!!

"I don't want diamond sunbursts, or marble halls. I just want you." - Anne
Psst! Carrots! Carrots!
My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That's a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul.
Gilbert: It will be 3 years till I finish medical school. Even then there wont be any diamond sunbursts of marble halls
Anne: I don't want diamond sunburst or marble halls, I just want you, Gil
*On a train back to green gables after the war is done . Gil talking to Anne*
Gilbert: You know every day, I'd pick a different memory I had of you, and play it over and over in my mind till every hair, every smile... and every freckle was just as I remembered
Anne, after a hug fight with Gilbert, "I think I would like to be a nun."
SummaryAdd a Summary
The film resumes the story of Anne Shirley, who at 16 had chosen to study for her college degree by correspondence in order to remain at Green Gables to help an aging Marilla, who has eyesight problems, look after the house and farm. Anne now holds a Teacher's Licence after completing the two-year post-secondary course at Charlottetown's Queens Academy in only one year.
Anne begins to teach at Avonlea School and has dreams of becoming a writer, but her story "Averil's Atonement" is rejected by a magazine. Leaving the post office one day, Anne runs into Gilbert Blythe, who tells her that her best friend Diana Barry is engaged to Fred Wright. Anne is initially bewildered by Diana's decision, calling it impulsive. Meanwhile, in the last two years, Marilla's eyesight has greatly improved. Having regained her independence, Marilla encourages Anne to resume her old ambition of attending college.
At the clambake celebrating Fred and Diana's engagement, Anne and Gilbert wander off to a bridge, where Gilbert proposes. Anne rejects his offer, convinced that their marriage would be unhappy and unsuccessful. She runs off.
At Diana's wedding, Anne sees Gilbert with a young woman named Christine Stuart. Gilbert tells Anne that he and Christine are just friends, then offers to wait for her if there is any hope of them getting together. Anne rejects him again, and Gilbert suspects that there is someone else, despite Anne's assertion there is no person she cares about more than him. Anne returns to Green Gables and decides to look into the job her former teacher Miss Muriel Stacey offered her. Eventually, Anne decides to take this job as an English teacher at Kingsport, Nova Scotia Ladies' College in the hope that it will inspire her and give her something to write about.
Initially, Anne finds her new job to be difficult. A member of the local community — and member of the powerful Pringle family — had also tried for Anne's post and was rejected, causing resentment. However, Anne gradually earns the respect of her students, their families and her colleagues, including the severe and critical Katherine Brooke and the Pringle family. Anne organizes a play to raise money for the college, which is greatly appreciated. Her dream of being published is also finally achieved after she writes a series of short stories based on Avonlea inspired by a suggestion from Gilbert. While teaching at the Ladies' College, Anne grows close to one student, Emmeline Harris, at whose house she is boarding along with the stern, controlling grandmother Harris and her repressed daughter Pauline who is a virtual prisoner in the house. Anne is able to convince the grandmother, a hypochondriac, to leave the house and go to a community picnic, and to let Pauline attend a friend's wedding overnight in another town, where she strikes up a romance. Emmeline's widowed father Morgan Harris, a well-to-do traveling businessman, also proposes marriage to Anne, after Anne and Emmeline had visited his spacious house in Boston. Anne also succeeds in getting the spinster teacher Katherine Brooke to spend a badly-needed summer vacation at Avonlea, where she opens up her feelings to Anne.
Anne declines Morgan Harris' proposal and returns to Green Gables, where she learns that Gilbert is ill nearby with scarlet fever, having returned home from Halifax Medical School. Anne finally realizes her true feelings for Gilbert, and goes to visit him. After Gilbert regains his health, he proposes once more, and Anne accepts him with a kiss, declaring, "I don't want diamond sunbursts, or marble halls. I just want you."
