Going in Style is a film that reminds us why we go to the movies — for entertainment. This may not be the best movie of the year, but it is far from the worst and it delivers entertainment: fun, friendship, getting the most out of life, love with our children and grandchildren and even some suspense. And there are a few surprises in the plot.
Going in Style is a remake of the 1979 film of the same name. Some of the story has been changed and I would report that some of those changes softens the impact of the film, but never mind. This version is very good.
Three elderly men, Joe (Michael Caine), Willie (Morgan Freeman) and Albert (Alan Arkin), have been close friends for most of their adult lives and live side by side in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn in New York.
They worked at the same company for decades and are retired. That company has been acquired by a large conglomerate and, among other bad things, their pensions have been cancelled.
They were living on a meager income to begin with and now their prospects are dismal. Worst of all, Joe will not be able to make his mortgage payments and he will lose his home.
Joe goes to the Williamsburg Savings Bank to see if he can work out a plan to save his home. While he's there, three masked men burst into the bank and pull off a major robbery — several million dollars.
Joe sees the possibility of doing the same thing with Willie and Albert. They get advice on how to do such an outrageous thing from a pet and pot store owner who knows about these activities.
The three rookie outlaws go for the plan and pull it off. Their rationalization for the caper is that the pension money that has been taken by the new company is in the Williamsburg bank, and they feel entitled to repossess it. There are a few clues left behind and FBI agent Hamer (Matt Dillon) relentlessly tries to nail the three culprits. His efforts and the results are a major part of the fun here.
Meanwhile, we see Joe's relationship with his daughter and loving granddaughter, and Willie's loving contacts, by Skype, with his granddaughter.
Albert is seduced by a woman who keeps after him and finally gets him. That's Annie (Ann-Margret, still a beauty). As an aside, there is a senile older man active in charitable causes who steals every one of the few scenes he is in. That's Christopher Lloyd in a riotous performance.
Going in Style is available to you as a 90-minute pleasure that is lifted out of the mundane by all the actors whose names are mentioned here.
The three lead men, Caine, Freeman and Arkin are Oscar winners and the leading supporting players are Oscar nominees.
Going in Style is playing at Harkins Sedona 6 theater.

Eric Belanger moving to KHL after Edmonton Oilers buyout
Eric Belanger, who struggled in his two years as an Edmonton Oilers' centre to put up any meaningful stats except in the face-off circle, has signed a one-year contract to play in Yekaterinburg in the KHL.
Yekaterinberg used to be called Sverdlovsk and it's the hometown of former Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin and onetime NHL centre Alexei Yashin, in case you're wondering . It's the fourth largest city in Russia with 1.4 million people. Toronto Maple Leafs' winger Joffrey Lupul played there during the lockout.
Belanger had four goals in 104 Oiler games and 19 points. He was a 55 percent face-off guy but injuries (broken foot, gr0in) hurt him last year during the lockout and the Oilers chose after the season not to bring him back for a third year. They bought him out at 3/rds of his $1.25 million salary over two years and his cap number of $1.75 million won't count against the cap becauase he was an amnesty buyout.
The Oilers signed former Phoenix centre Boyd Gordon to a three-year $9 million deal July 5 and he'll either be the third or fourth-line centre this season. Belanger was signed as a third-liner but with Shawn Horcoff moving back in the pecking order to third-line duty, Belanger was ostensibly the fourth-line pivot.
ON THE BENCH–It's expected Oilers' winger Nail Yakupov will turn in his No. 64 for his favoured No. 10, the number Horcoff wore before he was traded to Dallas…Newcomer forward David Perron has said he'll wear 57 here with Anton Lander now wearing 51…Magnus Paajarvi, traded to St. Louis for Perron, says he'll wear 56. That was the year his dad Gunnar Svensson was born. He was 91 here but Vlad Tarasenko has that number in St. Louis.

text: Organic LED (OLED) panels, with their extremely thin screens and independence from the backlights required by LCD panels, have been promoted for years as "the next big thing" for television and other displays, but they have yet to make much of a splash in the marketplace because of their size.Back in May 2005, Samsung Electronics showed off its working prototype of the first single-sheet, 40-in. active-matrix OLED for flat panel TVs, but for the past three years, commercially available OLED TVs of a size most consumers want their TVs to be have remained just that – prototypes. Sony showed 27-in. prototypes of its OLED TV at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2007 and January 2008, and it's still not on the market.Sony's OLED TV has an 11-in. screen that is only 3 mm thick, about the depth of three credit cards. Image courtesy of Sony.Hampering the development of medium- to large-size OLED TVs are blue OLEDs. OLEDs mix green, red and blue lights to reproduce colors, and blue is the most energy-intensive. In May, Sony and Idemitsu Kosan announced that they had developed a blue OLED with an internal quantum efficiency of 28.5 percent and an emission lifetime of more than 30,000 hours. In November, South Korean scientists and engineers claimed to have developed an energy-efficient "true blue" material. "We are working very hard to get to the next generation of screen sizes. It is an energy-saving product … with strong performance," Sony Electronics President Stan Glasgow was quoted as saying at a media roundtable in November by This Week in Consumer Electronics.In January 2008, Sony released the first OLED TV available in the US, which it had been developing for more than 10 years. Sony's OLED TV, the XEL-1, is only 3 mm thick, or about as deep as three credit cards held together. But it's very pricey – it has an 11-in. screen and retails for as much as $2500. Such pricing won't begin to compete with other panels when consumers can now spend that same amount and get LCD or plasma screen sizes of more than 50 in.Because it doesn't need a backlight, an OLED display can control all phases of light emission, such as preventing it when reproducing shades of black, resulting in a superhigh-contrast ratio (1 million to 1, Sony says of the XEL-1). OLED technology can spontaneously turn the light emitted from the organic materials layer on and off when an electric current is applied, giving it the rapid response time needed to reproduce fast-moving content like sports events and action scenes in movies. OLED panels weigh less, are more energy efficient and have truer color reproduction.Samsung, meanwhile, has concentrated its OLED efforts into producing smaller screens for mobile devices such as cell phones and laptops. In his keynote address at the Third Techno Systems Research Seminar in Tokyo on Nov. 27, Samsung's Woo Jong Lee said OLED panels will be used in laptops as early as 2010.Lee, vice president of the Mobile Display marketing team of Samsung SDI Co. Ltd., said the company expects 5-in. or larger OLED panels to become mainstream in 2009 or 2010.Lee forecast that the prices of OLED panels will be about 1.1 times those of LED panels by 2015 and that 28 percent of all laptops will feature an OLED panel."The warranty period against image burn-in for active-matrix OLED panels is expected to exceed 2000 hours in 2010, and these panels will be available for laptops," Lee said.According to market analyst DisplaySearch, OLED TVs accounted for 1 million of the 53 million units sold worldwide in the third quarter of 2008, a number that slid 7 percent from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, plasma TV sales rose 37 percent to 3.8 million units from the third quarter last year, with 50-in. sets seeing the strongest share gain, rising from 25 percent of units in the second quarter to 28 percent in the third. LCD sales rose to nearly 27 million units, with 36 percent of those TVs having 32-in. screens.

Jordan Peele is first black screenwriter to win best original screenplay
(CNN) -- Jordan Peele's "Get Out" has placed him in the Oscar history books.
Peele was crowned the winner in the the best original screenplay race at Sunday's Academy Awards, making him the first black screenwriter to receive the honor.
In his speech, Peele thanked the people "who raised my voice and let me make this movie."
Heading into Sunday, Peele and his film were nominated for a total of four awards, including best picture.
Only four black film writers have been nominated in the best original screenplay category in Oscars' 90-year history: Suzanne de Passe ("Lady Sings the Blues," 1972), Spike Lee ("Do the Right Thing," 1989) John Singleton ("Boyz n the Hood," 1991) and Peele.
In the adapted screenplay category, three films with black writers have won in the past — "Precious," "Twelve Years a Slave," and "Moonlight."
This year, Peele made history, becoming the first black director to receive nominations in the writing, directing, and best picture categories for his directorial debut.
Only two other people have accomplished that feat, according to the Academy. Warren Beatty with "Heaven Can Wait" (1978) and James L. Brooks with "Terms of Endearment" (1983).
Beatty walked away empty handed in his nominated categories and Brooks won all of his.
"Get Out," a social thriller that received praise for its thought-provoking take on race in America, grossed $176 million domestically.
Speaking to CNN recently, Peele explained that part of "Get Out's" success came from its ability to put viewers in the shoes of Daniel Kaluuya's character Chris.
In the film, Kaluuya, who earned a best actor nomination, plays an African-American man whose weekend getaway to meet his white girlfriend's parents takes a disturbing turn.
"I think the biggest thing 'Get Out' taught me about the power of story is that one of the few ways we can promote empathy is by seeing the world through somebody else's eyes, and that's what that's what great story does," he said. "That's what a strong protagonist does."

Hey, Google, Get Off My Lawn!
By admin On February 3, 2010 July 24, 2010 · Updated July 24, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Even as a law student, when I look at Google's "Street View" feature, the last thing I'm thinking about is a lawsuit. A lawsuit, however, is just what Aaron and Christine Boring of Pennsylvania thought when they saw their house on street view.
Our story begins back in 2008, when the Borings discovered that their home was depicted on Google's street view feature. Of course, they live on a private road, and so in the parlance of boxing,"it was on." The Borings filed suit in Pennsylvania state court alleging more torts than you would see on a first-year law school exam. Specifically, the Boring's complaint included accusations that Google had committed torts in the line of invasion of privacy, trespass, negligence, and conversion, and that the Borings were entitled to consequential and punitive damages to the tune of $25,000 a claim, as well as injunctive relief.
Needless to say, Google was not about to take a default judgment. The case was removed to federal court, and a 12(b)(6) motion was filed by Google and subsequently granted by the court on all claims. Game over, right? Nope: the Borings appealed to the Third Circuit.
The Third Circuit released its opinion last week and, surprisingly, let the Borings back into court on one of their claims: trespass. The court stated that if the road were indeed a private road, then the Borings have a cause of action if Google drove on it. Hence, it looks like the Borings will get to go to discovery and then maybe even to trial.
One way of looking at this case is that it is a validation of old-school common law property principles, a rejection of frivolous claims against a corporate giant, and then a refusal to monkey around with the Internet and tort law any more than necessary. I suppose that is all accurate.
The other way of looking at this though is that it is the triumph of stupidity over common sense. After all, the Borings now get to go to discovery. Who in their right mind really wants to issue discovery requests to Google? GOOGLE IS A SEARCH ENGINE. Imagine what will happen when the Boring's lawyer asks for "all documents in Google's possession that relate to the present case." Google will object to the documents that are privileged, and then print out each and every one of the documents stored in its server's cache. Last I checked (by Googling it, of course), it looks like there are 860,000+ webpages out there that relate to this lawsuit that are currently in Google's cache. Something tells me that the Borings won't be pressing the suit any further once they get discovery materials delivered by the truck load. That said, if I were the Borings, I'd walk away from this one right now before my legal fees start to add up. Of course, as this is the triumph of stupidity over common sense, I suspect the dump trucks of discovery should start rolling in any day now.

Molto bella questa immagine che mostra una bella riproduzione di Venezia e del suo famoso Ponte di Rialto "la sua icona".
Bellissimo il cielo blu cobalto che mette in risalto i dettagli chiari dell'architettura.
Ottima gestione della luce e ottimo sharp.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Mathieu
I know this Hotel very well, as i've attempted to photograph is many times.
Due to the overall size and odd shapes, its a true pain in the but to compose with any type of confidence...is that what you experienced?
this is exactly what i produced, bright lights, blue hour, but hard to focus on one focal point.
but its fun trying! :)
excellent try!
I've figured out, that perhaps an abstract image may be best for this beast!
have a great weekend

The New York Times Company reported a decline in first-quarter income on Thursday as its executives continued to reposition the company into a global news outlet for a digital age.
The company also announced plans to introduce lower-cost subscription models, part of a broader growth strategy.
The company is remaking itself in the face of the struggles in both print and online advertising. In the first quarter, net income was $3.1 million, or 2 cents a share, down from $42.1 million, or 28 cents a share, in the period a year earlier. Income from continuing operations declined to $3.1 million from $8.7 million a year earlier.
Total revenue from the quarter declined 2 percent, to $465.9 million. Over all, the company's advertising revenue declined 11.2 percent, to $191.2 million from $215.5 million. Print advertising at the company's newspapers, which include The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The International Herald Tribune, shrank 13.3 percent. Digital advertising revenue declined 4 percent. Times executives attributed these advertising troubles to declines in spending by movie studios and real estate developers.
In a continuing bright spot for the company, circulation revenue grew by 6.5 percent as The New York Times stepped up its digital subscription initiatives and raised prices for its print edition. The number of paid subscribers to the Web site, e-reader and other digital editions of The Times and The International Herald Tribune grew to 676,000, a jump of almost 49 percent from the same quarter the year before. Digital subscriptions to The Boston Globe and BostonGlobe.com rose more than 50 percent compared with the same time the year before, to 32,000 subscribers.
"Our first-quarter results reflect our continued strides in reshaping The New York Times Company," Mark Thompson, the company's president and chief executive, said in a statement. "We will be rolling out other strategic initiatives designed to further leverage The Times brand and newsroom to create new products and services for a wider range of customers, domestically and around the globe."
The company also disclosed more details about its growth strategy on Thursday. Mr. Thompson said that the company planned to provide varied subscription plans that allow readers to pay only for access to select major news stories or narrow content on politics or arts. Avid readers could buy a premium subscription that would include access to events at The Times. The company also plans to get more involved in brand extensions, like games and e-commerce, and grow its conference business.
"We want to deepen our relationship with our existing loyal customers, but we also want to use a wider family of New York Times products to reach new customers both here and around the world," said Mr. Thompson. "The initiatives we are announcing today should be seen as a significant first step in our effort to put The New York Times Company on a path to sustainable growth."
In recent years, the company has been trying to pare down its assets to focus exclusively on its flagship, The New York Times. Most recently, the company announced plans to sell the New England Media Group, which includes The Globe. The company said it would rename The International Herald Tribune as The International New York Times and introduce a redesigned Web site to cater to international audiences.
Investors seemed to find bright spots to the latest earnings reports, despite concerns about the advertising slowdown. Alexia S. Quadrani, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, said she liked that The Times was trying to find new way to make money.
"The last thing you want to see is somebody who will not try something new," said Ms. Quadrani.

Ever since the launching of the brand KNAPP we have been trusted by many equally excited, but diverse in type and requirements ladies. What they have had in common was that they had to say YES to someone they loved and that they all wanted to have dresses designed, taylor-made and created specially for them and their Big Day. That is the reason we were inspired to create our first KNAPP BRIDAL collection for everyone who had wedding plans and made us a part of them. The collection includes seven models each of them having a character and mood of their own, just as every woman has her own sentiment, approach and necessities, which are indicated through her vision on this day.

|Our glorious leader with his Nazi-loving
friend in the EU Parliament
Unofficial estimates put the figure at around 425,000 which would drive up unemployment, decimate already inadequate housing stocks and put an intolerable strain on public services.
Cameron said that they don't want to release the predictions early because they don't have enough confidence in them and then went on to cite the influx of Polish immigrants in 2004 when the British government predicted 14,000 would move here and nearly half a million came instead. If he's suggesting that the 425,000 number that's being thrown around might be a bit on the low side then we need to know right now because there are 21m people living in Romania and Bulgaria and a fifth of them are living below the poverty line.
We need to know right now because to deliberately flood the country with that many eastern European immigrants knowing that there is a very real possibility that it would destroy the economy, send unemployment out of control, leave tens of thousands of people homeless or living in overcrowded houses and increase racial/ethic/cultural tensions then one or two people might consider that to be an act of treason.

Duality and polarity are not the same thing, however, that doesn't stop people from confusing the two. Polarity is found in such things as north and south, east and west, chaos and order, positive and negative, light and dark, masculine and feminine, and male and female; when the two are in balance together, they harmoniously co-create in unity as One. In unity consciousness, the opposites are not opposing one another, but pairs that co-create in union together; sacred sexual merging is a reflection of the "union of the polarities".
In the Genesis story of creation, you see polarity being expressed prior to the introduction of duality, as evidenced by Adam, Eve, and the other pairs of creatures. It was the original prohibition against eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that introduced duality as a concept to humanity, within an already existing polarized universe. Was this forbidden fruit actually forbidden by God, or was it as the Gnostics claim, a demiurge false god that introduced the first prohibition to a naive humanity?
Whereas guilt is feeling bad for having done something wrong, shame is an inability to act in a way that is perceived as good or beneficial, for self or others. Therefore, the first prohibition actually caused shame in both the man and the woman, since they were now no longer able to act in a way that they were originally able to act. It was at the inception of shame that duality was introduced, not at the eating of the forbidden fruit, which just cemented their guilt for having acted in a way contrary to the original deceptive command by this false god.
The bookends of shame and guilt, the original prohibition and the guilt for having violated the original prohibition, are what started our experience within duality, as we had already been experiencing many lifetimes and worlds as beings within a polarized universe. Duality then, is a belief system construct that was built over the top of our polarized universe, one that pits the polarities as opposing forces to one another, in an attempt to capture unity beings for the purpose of enslaving them, and then feeding upon their Source energy, by acting as our gods. While these self-proclaimed gods pretend to be of the darkness or the light, they are actually just deceivers who continually hijack our true God's creation, concepts, and terminology for their own parasitic goals.
Good and evil are not a polarity, they are a duality masquerading as a polarity, to deceive and capture us into their prison system forever. While unity consciousness is not dualistic, it may still be polarized in many cases, as this allows for varying degrees of experience while in a material form; it's just that the polarities are able to effortlessly co-create together in unison, and as a mosaic, of the One true creator God.
Who then are the deceivers? Are they evil? Are we then good? Or is there something more to this cosmic drama that is playing out? We are something beyond good, and they are something beyond evil—we are the living, and they are the dead.

That's not going to be the case for a while, though. All those segments on "Good Morning America," "The Today Show" and even "Saturday Night Live," along with entire programs dedicated to the topic by "Anderson" and "Rock Center," among many others, might continue for a while.
Sure, it hurts to hear the charges, to realize the impact on Penn State and to share the pain of alumni all over the world, but if the truth eventually comes out and anyone who harmed children is punished it will be worth the temporary pain.
Certainly there have been media missteps -- maybe more than missteps -- during coverage of the story, but there have been standouts as well. Because most of my exposure to the situation has come from ESPN, a partial listing includes:
"Mike and Mike in the Morning" on ESPN Radio: Hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic have a good show, and their perspective and questions have helped shape some reaction nationally. They've been inquisitive, honest and mostly measured.
Tom Rinaldi: One of ESPN's best, he was on campus from the start and found the correct sources. He was tough, but revealed an understanding of the community, especially after the candlelight vigil, and showed compassion when appropriate.
Roger Cossack: It's always good to hear him share insights on legal matters on ESPN. When he's talking about you, your program or your team, though, that's not a good thing. He's informative and almost always has interesting insights.
John Ritchie: A former Cumberland Valley standout recruited by Penn State, specifically Jerry Sandusky, Ritchie revealed his conflict between who he knew and the allegations. He said his mom had considered retiring and working for The Second Mile. He was conflicted, as are many close to the situation. It was honest, good TV.
Bob Costas: A strong interview from him was not a surprise. Best of all, though, in his segment-ending banter Monday night with "Rock Center" host Brian Williams, Costas did not throw all of Nittany Nation under the bus, giving good insight to the conflicting emotions the situation has prompted.
One thumbs-down (amid many possibilities) to Armen Keteyian and CBS News.
The oversell on their supposed interview with Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary earlier this week was inexcusable, and Keteyian's defense to a Washington, D.C., radio station that any other network would've done the same does not make it any better. The interview -- a brief exchange in a doorway -- did nothing to further the story, but it probably did drive some viewers to the "CBS Evening News" for a few moments.

It's The First Monday Christmas In 11 Years. What Does That Mean For Retailers?
Want to be nostalgic this Christmas? Put away your smartphone, turn off Netflix, and remember when Amazon didn't sell groceries or even e-books. This year, for the first time since 2006, Christmas falls on a Monday, and that can bring a lot of opportunities that did not exist 11 years ago.
What difference does a day make? A heck of a lot, now that online orders can be placed and delivered within 24 hours. That's just the start of what's changed in 11 years and how it can play out on a Christmas Monday. Among the differences between 2006 and 2017:
- In all of 2006, U.S. big-box and department store sales totaled $252 billion. In 2017, they are predicted to be just $152.5 billion, according to figures from Statista.
- U.S. online retail sales in 2006 reached $144.6 billion, according to Forrester. They are predicted to exceed $459 billion in 2017.
- Web traffic on smartphones and tablets will likely outpace that on desktops this holiday season, 54% to 46%, according to Adobe's holiday retail report. In 2006, the iPhone was a year shy of being introduced, and iPads weren't unveiled until 2010.
- In 2006, Amazon generated $10.7 billion in full-year revenue. In 2017, it is expected to post $28.5 billion in holiday sales alone. Six in 10 shoppers said they plan to start their Cyber Monday research on Amazon's website, according to a survey by Valassis, a media delivery company.
Combine all of these factors, and we've got a mix for a memorable Christmas Monday.
Monday, Monday, So Good To E-Tail
What does all this mean for shoppers and retailers? Let's kick it off with $168 billion. That's the difference in holiday spending between 2006 ($512 billion) and estimates for 2017 ($680 billion), according to the National Retail Federation. How those sales will be made is of greater significance.
Here are a few key expectations.
Cashing through the snow: A Monday holiday may contribute to higher levels of travel in the days beforehand, and this could interfere with last-minute shopping. Retailers can offset the difference by entering the shopper's path physically, with pop-up locations or kiosks. They can also expedite online orders to arrive at a desired location on Saturday or Sunday. More than half of shoppers said they plan to buy online and pick up in the store this year; many may prefer pickups closer to their final holiday destinations.
Silver bells ring-a-ling on Sunday: A big factor that will shape Christmas Monday is how e-commerce has changed Sundays. The U.S. Postal Service this holiday season is offering next-day package deliveries on Sundays in 20 major cities. Walmart is among the retailers considering the option. This could cut back on foot traffic but also lead to higher sales, since the delivery service would spare tired shoppers that last harried trip to the mall.
Scrooge-free Saturday: Dec. 23, a Saturday, is expected to be the second-busiest shopping day this season, after Black Friday, according to ShopperTrak. This is because its proximity to Christmas will give last-minute shoppers a fallback date while also taking on a sense of urgency. In 2016, the Saturday before Christmas was Christmas Eve, and shoppers acted pretty much as they would on any Christmas Eve, spending less time shopping for special offers.
Returns on ice: With no guarantee that workers will get the day off on Tuesday, the period when returns will be made is more likely to be put off to the weekend. This could mean fewer returns as other responsibilities take priority. While this sounds good for retailers, it actually means less foot traffic. Retailers would do well to hold special events the Saturday after Christmas (with cookies, even).
It may not take another 11 years to see Christmas on a Monday, but the developments shaping the retail experience are more rapidly changing the Christmas holiday, year to year, in more dramatic ways. No reason to wait for nostalgia; it's coming at the speed of an app-enabled special offer on a new iPhone.

Top of the Morning
"I've never wanted a vacation more than I want one right now."
That was a limited partner in venture capital funds, speaking to me near the middle of 2016. A record amount of fund capital had been raised by brand-name funds in the first half of that year, as the cycle had condensed from four years to two years — and firms were seeking added amounts of capital to deal with unicorn-level valuations (both in terms of new investments, and maintaining pro rata stakes).
And now it's happening again.
Limited partners tell me that most of the firms that raised in early 2016 are returning to market in the first half of this year. For example, Dow Jones this morning reports that General Catalyst is in market with a $1 billion ask for its ninth fund. And, like last time, the fund sizes are larger (GC raised $845 million last time around).
- When venture firms raised outsized funds in 2016, a lot of them said one reason for the extra cash was to re-extend investment cycles. Wonder if we'll hear that one again, or if VCs have now internalized how fund size tails wave investment size/pace dogs.
• Look inside: Intel is refusing to give an explanation for why CEO Brian Krzanich sold around $39 million of stock and options at the end of November 2017, months after the company had been made aware of a fundamental design flaw in its chips that could result in security vulnerabilities.
- Intel says the sale was "unrelated" to the design flaw, and based on an automated stock trading plan.
- But the trading plan in question was set up just weeks earlier, which also was after Intel (and presumably Krzanich) was aware of the security hole. It also resulted in an outsized sale, with Krzanich only holding onto the minimum number of shares that Intel requires him to hold.
- When the SEC comes knocking, Intel likely will say that the design flaw isn't material, thus the trading program change/sale were kosher. But that's a steep hill to climb, given that we still don't know if it will prove material, and it's several months later. For example, what if Intel is hit with class-action lawsuits by everyone with Intel chips in the phones and laptops?
- But at least the SEC probably could learn how Intel sets up and approves such plans, as it isn't commenting publicly on that yet either.
- Here's a timeline
• Seed stuff: Fortune yesterday reported that Los Angeles-based seed investor Arena Ventures told LPs that it is taking a seed investing break due to inflated valuations.
- My understanding is that Arena, led by Paige Craig, is in early talks to raise a new fund focused instead on "pre-seed" opportunities. For Craig, this means backing teams that have an idea, rather than teams that already have an early product and a data point or two.
• All hail breaks loose: Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick tendered half his 10% stake in the ride-hail giant to Japan's SoftBank, as first reported by Bloomberg and confirmed by Axios. The offer was oversubscribed by 42%, so he ultimately will be allowed to sell around 29% of his holdings.
- This was a big reversal for Kalanick, who had never sold any Uber shares and who initially told friends that he wouldn't participate in the tender.
- Kalanick has regularly been referred to in media reports as a billionaire, but now it actually will be true.
- This obviously makes sense for Kalanick. Not only in terms of personal portfolio diversification, but also because his lack of historical sales was (in large part) a bet on his own leadership of a company he no longer leaves. Plus, this gets that Benchmark lawsuit off his back.
- Bottom line: If Kalanick's primary goal was to kneecap new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi (as some have argued), then he wouldn't have participated in the tender. This was a deal that Khosrowshahi badly wanted, in large part due to the governance changes that will go into effect once it closes.
• Have a great weekend. Stay warm...
The BFD
The Weinstein Co. is "nearing the end of a sale process" that may garner less than $500 million, per the WSJ. Bidders reportedly include Lions Gate Entertainment, Vine Alternative Investments and a group led by former U.S. Small Business Administration head Maria Contreras-Sweet. It is unclear if most offers or for the entire company or for select assets.
- Why it's the BFD: This could mean a total equity loss for the scandal-plagued film studio's shareholders, which include SoftBank, WPP Group and Goldman Sachs.
- Bottom line: "Weinstein Co. has been in a state of limbo since accusations against Harvey Weinstein began mounting this fall. He has denied the allegations of nonconsensual sex. The studio has a number of films whose release plans have been shelved until its future is determined, including drama Current War, comedy The War with Grandpa and a remake of French hit Intouchables starring Kevin Hart." — Ben Fritz & Keach Hagey, WSJ

Tele Recommends: Northern Ireland's best fashion designers
We've consulted the experts to bring you the best Northern Ireland has to offer - the places, the food, the music, the craic.
Alison Clarke of ACA Models won Miss Northern Ireland 1982 and was runner-up to Miss UK in the same year. In 1990 she opened the now longest running modelling agency in Ulster after starting organising Miss Northern Ireland in 1987.

She's my favourite of all favourites, creating everything from stylish, classic and adaptable pieces to glamorous choices for every occasion. You can choose from a selection in her shop or have something made just for you. I trust her so much she even made my wedding dress for me.
Reudi Maguire, Malone Studios, Belfast. 028 9581|1895
Reudi is an exciting young designer who is getting himself a name for elegant and sexy clothes. He has a wide range of dresses that use plenty of black so there is something for any age. You will have seen a Reudi dress somewhere — he dresses a lot of local celebrities for red carpet and black-tie events.
Paul Costelloe
Although based in London Paul Costelloe is the godfather of Irish designers. He has had a shop and factory in Northern Ireland for years and so is a firm favourite here. He can adapt to any look, most recently having designed all the ladies' outfits for the European Ryder Cup wives. The range went from golf day wear to the opening ceremony formal glamour.
Grainne Maher Millinery, Ravenhill Rd, Belfast. 07813 775164
Grainne established herself first as a milliner and is now making a name for herself as an accessories designer. She has created the headgear for many a lady and her Pluck & Devour jewellery range is highly sought after. Her big moment came when Selena Gomez sported one of her lazer-cut pendants on stage at the MTV Music Video Awards a couple of years ago.
Shauna Fay 07592 339748
Shauna is up and coming in the Northern Ireland fashion stakes. She creates elegant evening gowns with fabulous beading and sequins and provided former Miss Northern Ireland Meagan Green's dresses for her appearance at the Miss World Final in Bali, Indonesia.

Many people who practice yoga regularly in a studio would never think to do it at home. I was hesitant too, for a while. I figured it would be better to do yoga with someone who knew the sequences better, or could correct my alignment. I was worried about my attention span at home too. As it would turn out though, I knew plenty of poses (especially after the teacher training! ;)) and love practicing at home now. Unlike when I practice in a room full of sweaty people, at home I usually laugh and cry in the same hour. It is refreshing to bring such a cleansing practice to the place you live every day – it brings the positive energy home (literally)!
For those who aren't exactly yoga teachers and are looking for simple sequences to follow at home, YouTube is where it's at! Start with searching for a Sun Salutation A/B to get you started. After you're more comfortable, instead of doing your poses along with the video, write some of your favorites down or memorize a bit of a sequence. Technology can be a major distraction in your down dog!
When you practice at home you're free to hold poses for as long as you like, and can avoid that one pose that you want to die in – or test it out more, now that you have the time! You really get to slow down and explore how each pose makes you feel.
My friend Sydni Camillo posts lots of mini-sequences and how-to videos for challenging poses, so check out her Facebook page or Instagram – SC Wellness.

As the media assistant for the Pilgrim Center of Hope I do a number of things, including screening telephone calls for our weekly show Catholicism Live!. (That means if you called and weren't given time to talk about your question or comment, you can blame me. Please send all hate mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.)
Last week, we had a show about porn. Not my favorite talk show topic, but my job was thankfully behind the scenes for this one. Though if I were the interviewer I'd say, "Other people's sex is boring. Porn is stupid. Let's talk about real intimacy, and why it's funny."
The promo for this episode got thirteen shares on Facebook. Thirteen! But you know who didn't share the promo?
The one lady who called in.
I know this because I talked with her for a few minutes, and she vented her spleen about just how terrible it was that we were talking about porn.
Couldn't we talk about something else?, she wanted to know.
There's so much beauty in the faith and rich history of the Church, it would be better to tell others about those things, she asserted.
Do we really think someone who views pornography would listen anyway?, she asked.
And What if a child was listening and, you know, getting ideas!
There's so much beauty in the faith and rich history of the Church, it would be better to tell others about those things, she asserted.
Do we really think someone who views pornography would listen anyway?, she asked.
And What if a child was listening and, you know, getting ideas!
It was clear from the conversation that she just thought the subject was disgusting and didn't want to be made uncomfortable. Never mind mercy, forget hope – she just didn't want to deal with the 'ew' factor.
Well, let me tell you: all sin is ugly. All sin. There will always be particular kinds of sins which bother us more than others, for good reasons. There is wisdom in being disturbed. But sheesh, lady.
There was one other comment she made that was particularly curious: she complained that the program had replaced the EWTN one on the Crusades. That, she asserted, is the kind of thing people should be learning about. We need to be able to defend our faith, after all, and misinformation about the Crusades is always being used against the Church. In other words, Why worry about sinners who are already lost? We need to defend ourselves!
No, people. This is exactly the wrong attitude, and its ironic to worry about being misunderstood while advocating ignorance toward others. I'm reminded of this episode as I read some of the feedback on the bishops' recent document, Relatio post disceptationem, the result of a week of discussion at the ongoing Synod on the Family in Rome.
Much ink has been spilt over the emphasis on what's called the "law of gradualness" – a long established, common sense rule of pastoral theology which encourages spiritual advisors to keep in mind that people grow gradually rather than all at once.
The bishops have voiced a desire to ponder whether the Church has failed to create a welcoming atmosphere for people in "irregular unions" (homosexuals, divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, cohabitating couples). They would like to consider how keeping the "law of gradualness" in mind could allow Church leaders to seek out, walk beside, and offer love to people even when they are not living in full communion with the Church.
Here is one beautiful section of the document:
23. Imitating Jesus' merciful gaze, the Church must accompany her most fragile sons and daughters, marked by wounded and lost love, with attention and care, restoring trust and hope to them like the light of a beacon in a port, or a torch carried among the people to light the way for those who are lost or find themselves in the midst of the storm.25. …The Church has to carry this out with the tenderness of a mother and the clarity of a teacher (cf. Eph 4,15), in fidelity to the merciful kenosi of Christ. The truth is incarnated in human fragility not to condemn it, but to cure it.
Many Catholics in the public sphere have praised this tonal shift from the bishops. While there are challenges and open questions to be carefully contemplated (as always), it clearly addresses issues with due consideration that have needed this kind of attention for a long time.
But not all are happy with the document. Some Catholics are downright panicky. Consider these comments gleaned from Facebook:
"The truth is that if it's approval people want, there are many other better places to find it. The Church's role should simply be to proclaim the truth. Those who have ears will hear and God will build His Church.""Having just attended a retreat on the family, and restoring family life, I got a very clear perspective on the family, and how broken the family is in our society, and how fundamental the family is to our society. This synod, if it persists in the homosexual context, will completely break what the family is.""Jesus called a spade a spade way more than anybody else in the Bible. The results of the questionnaire sent out last year should have the Fathers of the Church scared for their eternal lives having allowed so many people to not only fall into but also to embrace grave sin. Their response: to focus on the positive aspects of the sinful choices Catholics have embraced."
Do you see the same defensive irony in these comments as the lady who called into last week's show? On the one hand, the Kingdom of God deserves to flourish, to have its truth understood and its rich splendor enjoyed. On the other hand, the Kingdom of God is a ghetto, so if the doors were opened, the roof would likely come tumbling down.
One of these views is correct, and here's a hint: Who would want to live in a ghetto? Besides Leticia Adams.

Researchers have discovered an added layer of complexity in the network that determines human embryonic stem cell fate. A report publishing online April 30th in the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, shows that a microRNA known as miR-145 lowers the activity of three key ingredients in the "recipe" for making embryonic stem cells. The discovery may have implications for improving the efficiency of methods designed to reprogram differentiated cells into embryonic stem cell-like cells and for the use of those transformed cells in replacing cells lost to disease or injury, the researchers said.
"The heart of the matter is that before this paper, we knew if you want to maintain a pluripotent state and allow self-renewal of embryonic stem cells, you have to sustain levels of transcription factors, including Oct4, Sox2 and Klf4," said Kenneth Kosik of The University of California, Santa Barbara. "We also knew that stem cells transition to a differentiated state when you downregulate those factors. Now we know how that happens a little better."
Transcription factors are genes that control other genes. On the other hand, microRNAs are single-stranded RNA molecules that control the activity of other genes. When microRNAs in the genome are transcribed from DNA, they target complementary messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which serve as the templates for proteins, to either encourage their degradation or prevent their translation into functional proteins. In general, one gene can be repressed by multiple microRNAs and one microRNA can repress multiple genes, the researchers explained. In a wide variety of developmental processes, microRNAs fine tune or restrict cellular identities by targeting important transcription factors or key pathways.
The new study adds embryonic stem cell identity to that list. Kosik's team found that levels of miR-145 change dramatically when human embryonic stem cells differentiate into other cell types. miR-145 was of particular interest because it had been predicted to target Oct4, Klf4 and Sox2. (Those three factors are perhaps best known as three of four ingredients originally shown to transform adult human skin cells into "induced pluripotent stem cells" (iPS cells), which behave in nearly every respect like true embryonic stem cells (http://www.
A rise in miR-145 prevents human embryonic stem cells' self-renewal and lowers the activity of genes that lend stem cells the capacity to produce other cell types, the researchers report. It also sends the cells on a path toward differentiation. In contrast, when miR-145 is lost, the embryonic stem cells are prevented from differentiating as OCT4, SOX2 and KLF4 concentrations rise.
They also show that the control between miR-145 and the "reprogramming factors" goes both ways. The promoter for miR-145 is bound and repressed by OCT4, they found.
"It's a beautiful double negative feedback loop," Kosik said. "They control each other."
Because there is typically less "wiggle room" in the levels of microRNA compared to mRNA, further studies are needed to more precisely quantify the copy numbers of miR-145 and its targets to figure out exactly how this layer of control really works, Kosik said.
The findings in embryonic stem cells might also have importance for cancer.
"There are sets of microRNA that are widely up- or downregulated in cancers," he said, noting that several studies have specifically linked low miR-145 levels to various forms of cancer. "Tumor stem cells are the engines of tumors. If miR-145 is sustaining or maintaining a differentiated state, loss of that may have something to do with malignant transformation."
The researchers include Na Xu, The University of California, Santa Barbara, CA; Thales Papagiannakopoulos, The University of California, Santa Barbara, CA; Guangjin Pan, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI; James A.

Beat the Odds & Jumpstart Your Heart Health
Live Online Program to Unclog Arteries, Lower Cholesterol & Get Heart Happy!
Day by Day plan including curated recipes, workouts, journaling, live calls and more.
Heart disease kills 600,000 Americans every year. Of these, approximately half are women. Unfortunately, more women die from their first heart attack compared to men. Heart disease is the number 1 cause of death for females in the US at a ratio of 1 in 3, and about 90% of women have one or more of the risk factors for it.
Do you have:
If you are the poster child for most of these things, then you may be a heart ailment or –worse—a heart attack waiting to happen! In addition, age can also be a factor. After menopause, the body's estrogen level drops and women become more prone to heart disease. The same goes for middle age which is the time when most women start developing risk factors. Even if you only have 1 or 2 or none of the risk factors mentioned, isn't it enough reason to worry about your own heart health?
The good news is that heart disease may be prevented or controlled by knowledge and lifestyle changes. Granted that it can be difficult to figure out the right things to do – what to eat, which supplements to take, what workout to do. Plus, in this age of modern technology, there seems to be new information and medical breakthroughs each week. It's hard to keep up with new acceptable test ranges and new treatments. But it's even harder to follow.
So we created Heart Health Program, an easy to follow Day by Day program that holds your hand through 14 days of transformation. Do you want to see your kids grow up, see them have their own kids, complete your bucket list, meet the love of your life (alright, perhaps the first few were misses!) or enjoy your retirement years?

Listen to Karen share why she loved the Program and recommends it whole heartedly!
As an Integrative doctor trained in Michigan and tTexas, I have helped thousands of patients address complex issues. My unique protocol can help you identify if you have silent heart disease or if you're at risk for stroke or heart attack and understand why you're at risk.
My passion for heart health comes from finding out as a child that I had a heart issue and from helping my beloved father deal with heart issues. I learned that while medication and surgery are occasionally necessary, the real value is in finding the root cause of heart diseases such as nutrition, stress, sleep disorders, and genetics, and designing a recovery plan to heal heart conditions before they become a risk.
In our Heart Program, you'll learn simple steps to heal and nourish your heart and arteries so you can lead a life free from the clutches of the #1 killer in the western world. I know this is possible as I have seen it thousands of times, so join us and be on your way towards better heart health.
At age 35, I self-diagnosed my colon cancer at from which I recovered post-surgery. 10 years later I had my second health crisis in September 2015 and no MD could give me a diagnosis despite of my having 28 symptoms.
After tons of tests and specialists, I was prescribed a steroid and antidepressants in Feb 2016. I refused. I took charge of my health and 15 months of big and small changes later, I was healed. What I learned from this experience was that everything we know about health may have been distorted or just plain wrong.
It pains me to see widespread suffering when the answer to health is so simple. So, I have decided to embark on a mission to share the truth with you and help you unleash better health! My formula for healing is called THE HEALTH PYRAMID and HealCircle is based on it in partnership with top doctors!
Our HEART HEALTH PROGRAM is a transformative 14-day program using a proven system to help you get heart healthy and reverse symptoms. I hope you will join our Program and be able to experience transformative health!
I can't wait to meet you!
As the HealCircle founder, my goal is to ensure that you have a delightful experience with our Program. We want to surprise you and exceed your expectations! Why? Because having been a patient myself, I know how it feels to be in your shoes and what it's like to be disappointed and disheartened.
I promise you that if you join our Program,
1. We will be Responsive — We will reply to your emails within 24 hours or less and be there to answer your questions and help you through the program.
2. We will Listen — Tell us your suggestions, your complaints, what you want to be answered or changed and we will do our best to accommodate you

I am so thrilled that I joined the Heart Health Bootcamp. That was the push that my family of four needed to start a health-conscious lifestyle. Through the program, I learned about healthy food preparation and tried things I had never tried before. The program delivered 100% of the results it promised. My family and I now follow a 100% plant-based diet. We are healthier, have more energy and are happier and more energetic, thanks to Dr. Khan and his team. I am forever grateful!
The Heart Health Boot Camp was just what I needed to jumpstart a new attitude about my health! Although I thought I had a very healthy diet before the Bootcamp, I was amazed at how many vegetables I started eating on the Boot Camp meal regimen. The meal plan was helpful, and a great guide for eliminating trigger foods like sugar, meat, animal products, and caffeine. In the first few days, I felt healthier and lighter than I had felt in months! After the first week, I dropped several pounds and continued to lose weight throughout the rest of the Bootcamp.
In addition to learning how to plan and prepare meals that help maintain good heart health, I learned the habit of daily morning meditation. In short, it was helpful to have the guidance of the Heart Health team to lead me toward a healthier heart.
I have enjoyed participating in the Heart Bootcamp. I loved the daily exercises, meditation and the array of recipes daily.
I felt more energized and lost a few pounds, but most of all felt good about myself. I will most definitely recommend this to my patients who struggle with weight issues and suffer from heart disease.
What you eat is what you are — I'm a true believer in that! This is a great way of getting back on track. We are all aware of what we should eat, but it's great to have a fantastic programme that helps you towards your goals.
Thanks, Reena, for introducing this to me. I look forward to checking out the other boot camps as well.
I saw great results including Weight loss, better sleep, better mood. I feel much more energetic.
I have lost approximately 7 pounds over the two weeks. I'm now at my optimum weight!! My energy levels have increased. I used to have that mid-day lull, but I now have more clarity and focus for the most part of the day. Many people have noticed and commented that my skin is looking amazing of which I have noticed too.
I turned 40 last year and I felt the need to change my lifestyle. I've been wanting to do this for many years. However, I didn't have a trustworthy or reliable source of information to do this.
Then I found this Bootcamp and it's been fundamentally life changing! It's very straightforward and easy to follow yet a fun way of starting your journey.
It's a really enjoyable way of making that leap to a Plant-Based Diet. I loved the fact that Dr. Kahn and Reena are there to guide and help whenever you need to reach out. Equally amazing to have the live calls and debunk all the latest research that's in the media and the internet.
I've learned to food prep and be more organized in meal planning. I'm truly enjoying eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, spices, and herbs in my diet. There were a number of ingredients that I'd never tried before but these have become my staples in my kitchen. It has, therefore, become a lot easier to maintain the heart health meal plan. It has given me more confidence in buying an array of ingredients and making nutritious meals.
I would highly recommend this to others especially if they are looking to start a plant-based diet and have any illness or disease. It's also a win-win situation if you are healthy. Every single person should try this–it's what the human body was designed to eat. The price is very reasonable and gives value to my money. The plethora of information and knowledge that is shared to boot campers is priceless!
It's very intimate and personable. I felt like we were getting incredible knowledge that can be easily applied. I became more aware of what I was eating.
Now I have better awareness of everything, especially in what I do. It's a program that is doable for everyone, easy to follow, and has incredible value!

All I want are healthy relationships… I feel like I am building a healthier relationship with myself. The truth is however, I love someone who has bipolar. Rather, I care for someone who has bipolar. I am concerned. Bipolar runs in my partner's family. I think her mother may have it, too. Speaking of "mother's," I think my mother might have it, too. Or rather, my aunt. "Technically," she's my aunt (I was adopted, and my biological mother and adoptive mother are sisters).
Anyway, Ashley's mother was bipolar, too. I'm being reminded of what Ashley went through right now, as I'm living here in the same apartment complex as Ash did and where her mother still coincidentally resides. I am probably feeling the same, or similar feelings as Ash did when trying to deal with her mother.
I cannot describe the thoughts, feelings, and emotions – the experience (experience = perception and perception affects thoughts and actions) that run through your body when your loved one is acting out. Erin went from being normal to enraged to sad and apathetic within a matter of 20 minutes. She went from raging and shoving me and throwing a chair to crying at the same time to crying and profusely apologizing.
She has agreed that it's time to get her medication changed. Anyway, I wanted to add a lot more to this entry, but I am going to an auction tonight to get more stuff for the flea market. I would like to have the time to process this later, as I think it's very important to process events and experiences.
I guess I just wanted to say that I think I am growing and that I now believe I understand first-hand what Ash had gone through for years…

Emmitsburg, Md. (April 14, 2018) - The Mount St. Mary's baseball team splits doubleheader against LIU Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. Two three run innings helped the Blackbirds top the Mountaineers 6-1 in the first game of the doubleheader. A five run bottom of the second lifts the Mount over LIU Brooklyn 12-9 in the second game of the doubleheader.
GAME 1: LIU Brooklyn 6, Mount 1
Blackbirds' pitcher Zach Pederson pitched a complete game while giving up one run on just three hits in the win. Alex Kriss, Vaughn Parker II, and Matthew Kephart recorded the only three hits for Mount St. Mary's in the first game. Parker hit his fourth homerun of the season to plate the Mount's only run of the game. Senior, Noah Smith pitched a strong 4.2 innings in relief for the Mountaineers while giving up no runs on just four hits and struck six batters.
LIU plated three runs in the top of the second inning and three more runs in the top of the third inning to take a 6-0 lead after three innings of play. The Blackbirds scoring was highlighted by a single from Alex Briggs that brought Anthony Warneke home to cross that plate in the second inning and another single from Edward Modica that plated Luis Arias.
The Mountaineers pushed a run a crossed the board in the bottom of the fourth inning when Parker took Pederson deep to left field for the only run of the game.
Michael Collins (1-6) received the loss for Mount St. Mary's and Pederson (5-2) picked up the win for LIU Brooklyn.
GAME 2: Mount 12, LIU Brooklyn 9
Five run bottom of the second lifts the Mount over the Blackbirds 12-9 in the second game of the doubleheader. Patrick Causa and Randall Minogue each picked up two hits in the win. Minogue went 2 for 3 with four runs batted in and a homerun to lead the Mount offense. Michael Yetter settled down after giving up five earned runs in the first two innings to shut the Blackbirds' offense out the next three innings and picked up his first collegiate win.
LIU Brooklyn jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning. The Blackbirds scored their runs off of two straight two RBI singles by Anthony Warneke and Dom Paiotti.
The Mountaineers answered LIU's four run inning with a three run bottom half to cut the deficit to one run. Causa was brought home on a wild pitch after he hit a double to left-center field and advanced to third on a balk for the Mount's first run of the game. Two batters later, Minogue hit a RBI single to right field that plated Vaughn Parker II. The next batter, Zack Costello doubled to left-center field that brought Thomas Savastio home to score the third run of the inning.
After the Blackbirds added one run in the top of the second off of a wild pitch, Mount St. Mary's erupted for five runs in the bottom of the second. The scoring for the Mount was highlighted by a RBI single from Causa that scored Myles Nicholson and a three run homerun to left field off the bat of Minogue that brought Causa and Parker home with him.
The Mountaineers added one run in the bottom of the third inning and three more in the bottom of the fourth inning. Nicholson scored in the bottom of the third off of a single from Alex Kriss. In the bottom of the fourth, Brendan Dabagian hit a two RBI double that plated Minogue and Savastio and Dabagian was brought home on a RBI single from Nicholson for the last run of the inning.
The LIU Brooklyn comeback fell short as they could only muster up four runs the rest of the game and fell three runs short. Briggs hit a three run homer in the top of the seventh inning that plated Rob Griswold and Paiotti but the Mountaineers' pitcher, Jordan Geber came back and recorded the last two outs of the game.
Yetter (1-2) recorded the win for Mount St. Mary's and Cory Hart (2-1) received the loss for the Blackbirds. With the split, the Mount move to 9-21 on the year with a 3-9 mark in Northeast Conference (NEC) play and LIU Brooklyn moves to 17-14 on the year with a 8-5 mark in NEC play.
The two teams will finish up the four game series tomorrow, April 15 at 11:00 AM.


text: So, I never thought I'd be the one to utter the "I wish I had a dipstick" debate, but I find myself questioning the validity of my idiot lights. It's not quite time for my oil change, but I have done some pretty, ahem, intense driving these past few thousand miles. I have OCD and check my oil level every time I get in the car, and have watched it slowly tick down from full to this level. A friends said it's "OK" until the car informs me it's thirsty and needs some oil, but I guess I'm paranoid. Thoughts?

What does a HID look bulb replacement do?
are many car enthusiasts that desire the white, or blue HID
(high intensity discharge) look. Many people go to great lengths
to achieve this desired look, from buying a HID conversion kits
to retrofitting projectors to attain the desired beam pattern.
There are very many alternatives to achieving the HID look, and
many choose to take the cheaper route which is the HID look bulb
replacement. These HID look replacement bulbs are a great
alternative to actual full HID conversions, but due to the fact
that they are merely replacements they are not much brighter
than stock. The reason that they may appear much brighter is due
to the fact of their color temperature much resembles that of
the color of daylight. If you are looking to merely change the
color of your headlight from the dull yellow to a bright white
then this bulb replacement is a great alternative for you.

I've watched Heroes Petrelli & Sons since its inception, and stuck with it through all the craziness* thus far. Chopping off Usutu's head before even giving him a name may well be the last straw for me. I'm unsure as to whether I'll watch another episode or not. Things have just gone down the tubes, fast.
A drama between the Petrelli's and the Bennet's? I might hafta pass.
And yet – I watch The Hills. I love it because it's so tragically…tragic. Nothing beat the evil grin on Spencer's face last week after Heidi showed her behind [totally wasted] at a company function – and ended up getting fired. Completely transparant to everyone except Heidi, Spencer's like a puppet master when it comes to her. Which is actually painful to watch sometimes, but ultimately makes great trash tv.
Then there's GG, which could now be called 'The Slow Corruption of the Humphreys'. It's definitely the prettiest show, though. Best clothes, by far. Also my fave of the 3 mentioned here. [Heroes used to have this honor, but keeps killing all the brown people. GG doesn't pretend to give brown people weight in the show, and I'm ok with that – be straight with me from the beginning. I'm not looking for a complete overhaul of American tv in 3 Easy Steps™.] And lovely of lovelies, we've got an arc including the Sicilian from The Princess Bride. Inconceivable!
I'm not apologizing for my tv habit, though. That's my thing. Everybody's got their thing – and that's mine.
*craziness: first and foremost – killing DL. from there? not naming The Haitian, cutting Hiro off from the rest of the heroes, totally forgetting about Micah (and Monica), introducing Maya in the first place, and only keeping Christopher Eccleston for like, 3 shows.
