Big Brother 12 Episode 19 News

0 comments

Big Brother 12 episode 19 aired August 19, and the houseguests evicted someone new. The Big Brother 12 episode 19 eviction was a surprise to most of the houseguests, because heading into the night, they thought it would be either Lane or Matt going home. Those were the two nominees that HOH Brendon had put up on the block, but nobody other than Matt was aware that he was holding the Diamond Power of Veto. That power let him take himself off the block, and choose which nominee to put up in his place. During the eviction ceremony, Matt stood up to give a speech, going after Brendon, and basically saying it was a nice try at trying to evict Matt.

Matt then used the Diamond Power of Veto to take himself down, and put up Kathy as the new nominee. That meant that the houseguests now had to decide whether to vote for Kathy or Lane for eviction, and it was almost a given that they were going to vote out Kathy at this point. That is exactly what took place, and the vote was unanimous to evict Kathy as the sixth person to leave the Big Brother house. She almost seemed resigned to her fate, and maybe after 48 days in the house, she was just ready to go home. That is a long time for anyone to be away from their family, and probably made it easier that she didn't have to stress about being on the block all week. It's also possible that she was just in shock, and didn't really know how to react to what had just taken place.

Ciktor Bout

So notorious are the exploits of former Soviet air force officer Viktor Bout that they have inspired a Hollywood film and garnered him an impressively fearsome nickname - the "merchant of death".

Yet he claims he is simply an entrepreneur with a legitimate international transport business, wrongly accused of trying to arm South American rebels - the victim of US political machinations.

Thailand's authorities have now agreed to extradite him to the US, so an American court may have to decide where the truth lies.

Mr Bout began his career in air transport in the early 1990s, after the fall of the USSR.

According to a 2007 book - Merchant of Death, by security experts Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun - Mr Bout built up his business using military planes left on the airfields of the collapsing Soviet empire in the early 1990s.

Diamonds, guns and militants

The sturdy Antonovs and Ilyushins were up for sale along with their crews, and were perfect for delivering goods to bumpy wartime airstrips around the world.

Mr Bout, 43, who was born in Soviet-ruled Tajikistan, is said have begun channelling weapons through a series of front companies to war-torn parts of Africa.

The UN named him as an associate of former Liberian President Charles Taylor - who is now on trial for war crimes.

"[Bout is a] businessman, dealer and transporter of weapons and minerals [who] supported former President Taylor's regime in [an] effort to destabilise Sierra Leone and gain illicit access to diamonds," UN documents state.

Media reports in the Middle East claim he was a gun-runner for al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

He is also alleged to have armed both sides in Angola's civil war and supplied weapons to warlords and governments from the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo to Sudan and Libya.

The fugitive couple that some had called a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde was captured at an Arizona campground last night after a three-week cross-country manhunt.

John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch were taken into custody near the town of Springerville, Ariz., near the border with New Mexico. The duo told authorities that if given the chance, they would have shot it out with police.

The beginning of the end for the escaped Arizona inmate and his suspected accomplice, who had eluded law enforcement for weeks, came when a forest service ranger saw an unattended campfire and a silver vehicle at a campground in the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest.

The Miss Universe 2010 preliminary competition was streamed live last night and showed pageant fans a peek at some of the amazing beauty the 2010 pageant has in store.

If you missed the Miss Universe 2010 preliminary, there are some videos on YouTube, which include the highlights video I’ve posted below.

Part of the fun of the preliminary competition is getting a look at what women will compete and making your early predictions, because who doesn’t love rooting for their favorite? I just love the beautiful gowns they wear, and yeah, these girls are incredibly gorgeous.

The August 19 Miss Universe preliminary featured the 83 contestants, showing them in swimsuit and evening dresses.

Look for the Miss Universe 2010 pageant to air live from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on August 23 at 9 p.m ET.

I love the collection of celebrity judges who will be at the live telecast this year: illusionist Criss Angel, actor William Baldwin, musician Sheila E, MSNBC Live anchor Tamron Hall, figure skater Evan Lysacek, actor Chazz Palminteri, singer/actress Chynna Phillips, actress Jane Seymour and model Niki Taylor. Quite an interesting bunch, huh?

Donald Trump commented on the Miss Universe pageant, hyping, “When you combine the world’s most beautiful women, bikinis, a rock star, and a panel of top celebrity judges, you have a recipe for success. The Miss Universe pageant is a worldwide phenomenon and you won’t want to miss this show!”

Bret Michaels and Natalie Morales will host the Miss Universe competition.

Nenad Krstic

0 comments


Oklahoma City Thunder center Nenad Krstic was detained by Greek authorities overnight following a bloody fight during a FIBA game between Krstic's Serbia and Greece in Athens Thursday. Reuters reports that Krstic was released by Greek police Friday morning, though he faces misdemeanor-level "sports violence" charges which will likely carry a fine.

Krstic threw a chair during Thursday's fourth-quarter fight at Olympic Indoor Hall. It was apparently meant for Greek center Sofoklis Schortsanitis, but instead hit Greek big man Ioannis Bourousis, who hadn't played in the game. The blow drew blood, and Bourousis had to be stopped from going after Krstic.

Krstic was also involved in the start of the fight, which sparked when Serb guard Milos Teodosic and Greek center Antonis Fotsis began jawing at each other with less than three minutes left in the game. Both teams are preparing for the 2010 FIBA World Championship, to be held in Turkey beginning August 28.

FIBA has not handed down sanctions for Krstic or any other player involved. Typically, in-game fights of this magnitude result in two-game suspensions for the primary actors, though Krstic may have done enough to draw greater punishment. Teodosic, Schortsanitis and Fotsis are the other players in danger of punishment. FIBA has not even acknowledged the fight occurred on its official World Championship website, so who knows when sanctions will actually be announced. Greece begins group play with games against China and Puerto Rico; Serbia draws Angola and Germany.

Tai Chi

Tai chi eased painful joints and other symptoms of fibromyalgia in a small but well-done study of this ancient Chinese form of exercise.

Tai chi (ty-CHEE') combines meditation with slow, gentle movements, deep breathing and relaxation. It can improve muscle strength, balance, sleep, coordination and, some evidence suggests, fibromyalgia.

Symptoms of the illness include fatigue, body pain, and tender points in joints, muscles and other soft tissues. It is most common in middle-aged women. Its cause is unknown, and the lack of obvious signs or definitive tests has led some doctors to question whether it is a physical or psychological problem.

The study led by Dr. Chenchen Wang at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston involved 66 fibromyalgia patients assigned to try either tai chi or wellness education and stretching exercises twice a week for 12 weeks.

Symptoms improved significantly for the tai chi group and little for the others, as measured by a commonly used questionnaire. Improvements were seen in pain, mood, quality of life, sleep and exercise capacity, and remained at 24 weeks after the study's start.

The results are in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

In an editorial, two doctors and an Oriental medicine specialist from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston called the results "provocative" and "striking," but said that it's unclear how much of the benefit is due to a placebo effect. The results need to be repeated in a larger study, they conclude.

The study's main sponsor was the government's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Several authors have received federal grants for mind-body research and one has financial ties to companies that make drugs to treat fibromyalgia.

Trace Adkins

0 comments


Trace Adkins was pondering a move to good friend Toby Keith's record label when Adkins heard the words every singer wants to hear.
Adkins offered to would fly to Keith's house in Oklahoma to play him what was to become "Cowboy's Back In Town, when Keith told him, "I don't need to hear what you do."

"Right there he basically said, 'I know who you are. I know what you do. You don't need to change anything for me,'" Adkins recalled.

Adkins signed on as Show Dog-Universal Music's first new recruit and eight months later, the big man's latest album is the label's first major release. "Cowboy's Back in Town," released this week, is a mostly lighthearted romp that includes just one ballad. The man with one of country's most distinctive voices said he was aiming for the same kind of energy generated by his live show.

In a way, the album represents Adkins' response to the new digital era when record sales are more a means to an end than the ultimate goal. Few artists can expect to sell millions of records these days, so Adkins said his goal with the new set was to draw fans to his live shows.

On this, Adkins and Keith are in lockstep. That made it easier for the 48-year-old Adkins to leave the safe haven of Capitol Nashville, the label he had been with since he cut his first album in 1996.

"I think the thing that makes it most comfortable for me is the fact that Toby doesn't look at the record label as a revenue generator," Adkins said. "He looks at the label as a marketing-advertising tool that we need to get our music out there so we can sell tickets to shows, which is completely 180 degrees from the other record label heads in the business."

Show Dog-Universal president Mark Wright says the label has a plan to keep Adkins visible over the next few months during the all-important third and fourth fiscal quarters of the year — "the selling season," as he calls it. Wright believes Adkins has a much more visible profile than most of his country peers, yet doesn't get the credit for it.

"I really believe that he is a bigger star with the fans than even the industry knows," Wright said. "The industry sometimes makes a judgment on somebody based on this, this and this, and they don't realize how big an impact people really have on the fans. And he's real big star with the fans."

A good example of this was the always rowdy crowd reaction when Adkins hit the stage during a series of special performances of the hit single "Hillbilly Bone" with Blake Shelton over the summer. Shelton, who netted Academy of Country Music and CMT video awards with Adkins, couldn't help but notice.

"I think that really comes across, that reaction you hear when he comes out — people go crazy," Shelton said. "It's because he's Trace Adkins. He's one of the coolest, biggest ... guys in entertainment. He just has this huge presence."

His appearance on "The Celebrity Apprentice" two years ago led to more work with Donald Trump and a higher national profile than he's had before. He wrote a book. He's set to start filming a small part in "The Lincoln Lawyer" with Matthew McConaughey and he's got a single on the Billboard country chart.

And there's more in the works. Think of it as Adkins' two-fisted response to the challenges of the digital age.

"It is what it is," Adkins said. "Those words have never been truer than regarding where we find ourselves in this business today. The technological changes and advances are out of our control, so we just need to learn to roll with the punches and deal with it or we're just going to sit in the corner and suck our thumbs and cry. There is no other alternative."

Hipmunk

0 comments


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Adam Goldstein was a whiz-kid MIT engineering student with an enviable network of tech contacts and a decade of industry experience. He also had a lofty dream: To reinvent Internet flight search.

So he called up his old friend, Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman, and embarked on a summer project. It culminated in this week's launch of Hipmunk, which drew instant acclaim for its new approach to an old but still daunting search challenge: matching travel shoppers with flights. Hipmunk arranges flights on a colorful, user-friendly grid, letting browsers evaluate their options in a blink.

Just days old, the site is already winning rave reviews. "When you see the results you'll never want to see flight results in any other format," TechCrunch gushed. "It's one of those 'that's so obvious why didn't I think of that' moments."

Lifehacker calls the site "fantastic" and praised its visual innovation.

"We spent a disproportionate amount of time on building that interface," says Goldstein, who graduated from MIT this spring. "Helping users find the right flight in the least amount of time is what informs every decision."

Hipmunk cuts the clutter, displaying all flight options on one screen. Prices show on the grid's vertical axis, with departure times on the horizontal axis. Airlines are color-coded -- JetBlue (JBLU) flights in blue, Delta (DAL, Fortune 500) in orange, and so on -- allowing searchers to zoom straight in on their favorites.

From there, browsers can sort by factors including price, flight length, and the number of stops. The aptly named "agony" button is a one-click combination of all three. Users can search in multiple tabs, filter out flights that depart too early or late, and share links to their searches with friends.

Marshfield Fair

0 comments


When a group of local farmers started the Marshfield Fair back in 1867, the event was part farmers’ market and part farm entertainment, according to Carlton Chandler, longtime director of the Marshfield Agricultural Society and secretary/treasurer of the fair

“It was more ‘I think my ox is stronger than yours. Lets see who can pull that stone the farthest,’” said Chandler, who on Aug. 9 was busy preparing for the start of the 143rd Marshfield Fair, a late August tradition which this year starts Friday, Aug. 20 and runs until Sunday, Aug. 29. “There were events like horse shoe pitching and racing from point A to point B.”

While the Midway, and its many modern rides, is a definite draw at today’s Marshfield Fair, horse racing – a popular event during the 1960s, 70s and 80s – once dominated the week’s events.

“The horse racing was a big part of it,” said Chandler, recalling total crowds in excess of 200,000. “It was certainly a main feature that we might remember it by.”

When the races went away in 1991, Chandler said organizers began devoting more time to the area of farming. Today’s fair, he said, features strong elements of agriculture, horticulture and arts and crafts.

This year, Chandler said he hopes to see 165,000 to 185,000 guests visit the fair over the scheduled 10-day period. That estimate, however, depends on whether the fairgrounds stay dry.

“We’re just so dependent on the weather,” he said, recalling the last Saturday of last year’s fair, which was completely rained out. “You can’t do anything about it. I’m hoping that we can get nine of 10” days without rain.

New at this year’s fair will be an expanded blues festival, Chandler said.

“The first weekend is two days instead of just a single day … we’ve also relocated a lot of the things on the grounds,” he said, adding that there will be a lot to see in the realm of crafts and photography, and, of course, agriculture and horticulture.

“In this day in age, people are very in tune with locally grown … we look to try to bring in any type of educational informative displays that go along towards that point,” he said, noting that a strong growing season could make for a memorable giant pumpkin contest.

“We did have one over 1,000 pounds a couple of years ago,” Chandler said. “There should be anywhere from five to a dozen pumpkins.”

Roni Lahage, the fair’s director of horticulture, said visitors could expect the bottom floor of aggie hall to beam daily with fresh floral arrangements.

“There’s lots of things happening everyday,” she said, listing floor and tabletop floral exhibits as well as educational and conservational lectures. “Folks that come in are really impressed by the quality of the exhibits.”

While there will daily presentations on everything from herb gardening to flower arrangements, Lahage said noting that Friday, Aug. 27 will feature a great lesson in wine making.

“We’ll get to taste some absolutely fabulous wines,” she said, explaining that representatives from Connecticut’s Jonathan Edwards Winery would be on hand to sponsor both a complimentary tasting and wine and roses tour.

Guests, she said, are invited to show up, buy a glass of wine, and enjoy some complimentary appetizers.

Fair tickets are $7 in advance and $10 at the door. Children 6 and under are free. Seniors, 65 and older get in free on Tuesday, Aug. 24, and children 12 and under get in free on Wednesday, Aug. 25. Advance tickets are available at the administration office until Aug. 19 or by calling (781) 834-6629.

Dimebag Darrell

0 comments


Today would have been late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott's 44th birthday. There is a still raw scar across the heart of every metalhead that has existed since Abbott was murdered onstage in 2004 at the too-young age of 38. While Dime may be up in heaven -- drinking a Black Tooth Grin and forming heaven's metal house band with Slipknot's Paul Gray, Type O Negative's Peter Steele and Ronnie James Dio -- he is not forgotten, nor will he ever be.

Metalheads are making sure that his legacy lives beyond his work on classic albums like 'Vulgar Display of Power' and 'Cowboys From Hell,' which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and changed the face of metal thanks to Dimebag's signature, distinct-as-DNA riffs. Rare is the guitarist where you'd hear one note played by his fingers and know it's him, but Dime was that type of player. That is why six years after his death, he remains as revered as ever, just as he should be.

Sirius/XM will celebrate Dime in a unique and loving way with their sixth annual March of Dimeday. For 24 hours, the satellite radio providers' channel Liquid Metal will play everything Dime would want to hear if he programmed his own satellite radio station. Dime's work in Pantera, Damageplan and Rebel Meets Rebel will be showcased, as will his collaborations with Anthrax and King Diamond and tribute songs from Machine Head, God Forbid and 2Cents. On top of that, the likes of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Dime's longtime gal pal Rita Haney, his brother and bandmate Vinnie Paul, Zakk Wylde, Gene Simmons, Rob Halford, Pantera security guru Big Val and others will share their fondest memories of a legend whose life was cut tragically short.

"It makes me, being the biggest Dime fan, in this type of position, very proud to do this," Liquid Metal format manager and on-air talent Jose Mangin tells Noisecreep. "It's my way of thanking him for everything he's done to me in my life, directly and indirectly. As the dude in charge of Sirius/XM metal, there is not a more loved and requested band than Pantera. We have a fan-hosted show called 'Listener Domination,' and yes, we did name it after their song! Since the beginning of it, more real fans request Pantera than any other band."

But it's not just Dime's grooved-out riffing that will stand the test of time -- his character as a human being and a man will endure. "His Dime way of living and treating people will live on in the same way his music does," Mangin says. "His credo and teachings live on and now I see his fans and his friends saying to themselves, 'What would Dime do?' This is how I live my life and after all these years of interviews with bands, they are doing the same thing. His positive influence in and outside of music is something that makes Darrell larger than any of his sick ass riffs could ever be."

So today, we invite and implore you to take a listen to some of those sick riffs, because they are some of the best ever metal moments ever committed to tape. Crank 'Becoming' or 'Cemetery Gates' or 'Walk' and remember the first time those power grooves caused adrenaline to course through your bloodstream. Put on 'Mouth for War' and send up a prayer of thanks to the metal gods for the gifts they gave us known as Pantera and Dimebag Darrell.

Project Runway Season 8 Episode 4

When we last left “Project Runway,” Ivy fainted, Andy won with his ribbon weaving dress and Gretchen thought she was the bestest evah.

Ivy is fine. Once again, NYFD hotties come to the rescue. Wouldn’t that be the best reality show — hot men cooking and racing to the rescue?

But we digress. This week: “hat” designer Philip Treacy brings his incarnations to the runway.They aren’t even hats. It’s like head sculpture. The designers have to create a look inspired by one of the hats. He tells them to think about proportion and volume and that matching is so “old hat.” Oh Philip! You told a little hat joke!

Ivy is inspired by the curtains in her hospital room. Mondo thinks the materials have voices. I have no idea what’s going on with the peacock feathers. Casanova is wearing what appears to be a boy scout uniform. Everyone is having some sort of confidence crisis.

People need to stop saying things are a hot mess. That was at least four seasons ago.

Tim visits. Valerie is mixing the soft fabric with the hardware materials to go with her black mask. Tim thinks it’s too much. April’s quilted booty shorts (allegedly going with a pink and white striped design) say “diaper” to Tim. Kristin’s “orchid” hat isn’t working for her and her dress is fussy. Although no one asks for her opinion, Gretchen thinks it’s sloppy.

It’s time for Casanova, formerly known as the “flamenco transvestite at a funeral” dress designer and the man who crossed the line from sexy to vulgar. This time, Tim says we’ve all seen his dress before — by Donna Karan in 1988. Casanova does not understand any of these challenges.

There is much, much trash talking back at the apartments. No one likes anything anyone else has done. Mondo has told the make-up stylist to put an eyeliner mustache on his model, because she’s wearing menswear. OK. Treacy comes personally to put his hats on the models. He doesn’t understand the mustache either.

At judging, Heidi comes out to her husband’s “Kissed By A Rose” and she’s wearing a rose hat with a vine going up toward the sky. Even she’s having a hard time pulling it off. Michael, Nina, Heidi and Philip are judging. It’s kind of funny that as each model walks, the designer voice over is talking about how they amaze themselves! They’re so proud of themselves! They wouldn’t change a thing! Check out the looks at Lifetime.

Gretchen is not in the top! Shocking!

They like how Michael D.’s giant “warrior/farmer hat” reflected in his ribbed deep-v, Vulcan-shouldered top and textured orange skirt. Nina says she likes the open back that complements the hat. (Note: The hat resembles two giant beige horns of plenty, but bigger and hollower.)

They love love Michael C’s orange, rust, bronze flowing number, in which he mimics the wave trim on his orange circular hat and the iridescence of the hat. Mr. Kors (there are too many Michaels going on) says it looks effortless. Nina says she likes the nude shoe and the color. They like the inspiration. Heidi’s favorite is Valerie’s little red racer back dress with a white jacket that goes with her black mask. Mr. Kors likes the Stevie Nicks hem while being geometric and neat. Philip says he doesn’t get it.

Bad vibes go to Kristin’s orchid’s hat and her sloppy black satin and hot pink dress. Mr.K says an orchid is beautiful and sexy and he doesn’t see anything of that in the dress. Nina hates the flower shoe and matchy toenails. Heidi isn’t fond of Christopher’s black and sliver swirled tunic with gray satin leggings. They all say it needed to be light and instead it’s too heavy. Mr. Kors isn’t finding romance here either. Nina says it’s fighting with the hat. Philip says he doesn’t see the connection. All the designers are shocked that the judges didn’t like it, because they loved it.

They aren’t thrilled with April’s triple hot pink, black and white quilted full-cover “short” that goes with the pink and white hat. Mr. Kors says she’s good for three days of underwear. He is horrified by the black zipper on the back. Philip says it could have used volume and the outfit is weak.

The winner is Michael Costello and his orange-y swirly number. He’s all teary, but in a cute way. And he does a little happy dance. Ivy, who didn’t place, doesn’t get it. Gretchen, who didn’t place either, is horrified because Michael C. is a “replicator, not an originator.” Whatever.

Kristen and her orchid head home for lacking joy. April and her triple-ply underwear stay another day.

Elisabeth Moss

0 comments


The most surprising celebrity-couple news of the past week -- you know, besides the fact that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have kissed in Canada -- is that Fred Armisen and Elisabeth Moss have reportedly split, and Armisen is now dating his "Saturday Night Live" co-star Abby Elliott.

Naturally this raises all kinds of questions. And that means it's time for an FAQ.

Question: So are Fred Armisen and Elisabeth Moss separated, divorced or just taking a break?

Answer: It's unclear. Best as I can tell, neither Armisen's reps nor Moss's have actually confirmed the split. The many, many media outlets reporting on this matter have cited Life & Style magazine (which originally reported that the relationship ended) or unnamed sources.

This much has been consistently noted: The "SNL" Barack Obama impersonator and the "Mad Men" star married last October, and went in separate directions in May. But it's unclear whether divorce papers have been filed.

Mcmansion

0 comments


They’ve been called McMansions, Starter Castles, Garage Mahals and Faux Chateaus but here’s the latest thing you can call them — History.

In the past few years, there have been an increasing number of references made to the “McMansion glut” and the “McMansion backlash,” as more towns pass ordinances against garishly large homes, which are generally over 3,000 square feet and built very close together.

What sets a McMansion apart from a regular mansion, according to Wikipedia, are a few characteristics: They’re tacky, they lack a definitive style and they have a “displeasingly jumbled appearance.”

Well, count 2010 as the year the last nail was hammered into the McCoffin: In its latest report on home-buying trends, real-estate site Trulia declares: “The McMansion Era Is Over.”

Just 9 percent of the people surveyed by Trulia said their ideal home size was over 3,200 square feet. Meanwhile, more than one-third said their ideal size was under 2,000 feet.

“That’s something that would’ve been unbelievable just a few years back,” said Pete Flint, CEO and co-founder of Trulia. “Americans are moving away from McMansions.”

The comments echoed those made in June by Kermit Baker, the chief economist at the American Institute of Architects.

“We continue to move away from the McMansion chapter of residential design, with more demand for practicality throughout the home,” Baker said. “There has been a drop off in the popularity of upscale property enhancements such as formal landscaping, decorative water features, tennis courts, and gazebos.”

“McMansions just look and feel out of place today, given the more cautious environment everyone’s living in,” said Paul Bishop, vice president of research for the National Association of Realtors.

And homebuilders are heeding the call: In a survey of builders last year, nine out of 10 said they planned to build smaller or lower-priced homes.

Aug 16, 2010 (The Augusta Chronicle - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Politics, it seems to me, for years ... has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

-- Richard Armour Nobody likes those "robo calls" -- the recorded messages from politicians soliciting our vote.

I wrote last week that I use them to make my list of who should not get my vote, and Edith Flynt agrees. She writes: "They do nothing to endear the candidates to me. Quite the contrary. I can't turn the phone off because if my family or friends have an emergency and need to reach me, they can't." She adds this solution: "I think the candidates should give us their home phone numbers so we can call them during dinner, nap time or reading time to tell them whether or not we appreciated the call." Darrel McKenzie was also irritated with this modern campaign tactic.


"You were RIGHT ON about all the phone calls and direct mailings. Anyone with that many connections, and that much money to mail to all the Republican voters across the state of Georgia DEFINITELY has been in government WAY TOO LONG. Whatever happened to ... the 'Tea Party' and getting rid of all these people?" THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: I called my stockbroker yesterday and asked him what I should be buying. He said, "Canned goods and ammunition." AUGUST TRAVELS: Manga Halsningar and Ashley Taylor send greetings from Stockholm, "a city of castles, churches, historic buildings and beautiful people, and the Baltic Sea! The weather is perfect ... and the people don't mind speaking English." Phyllis Badke was in Chicago for another reunion for Korean War POWs. She also got in visits to Wrigley Field and Soldier Field.

Pat Harder, of Augusta, along with Dee Dee Davis , Josh , Tara and Auggie and Elizabeth were having a great time at Carolina Beach.

Ruth and Ed Smith , of Martinez, got in a visit to Hilton Head Island, S.C. Sandra and Shirley Johnson sent postcards from Philadelphia, Maryland and Virginia. Kathy Czarnecki also sends two more cards from Virginia.

Ed and Donna Vanderhoff , of North Augusta, say they enjoyed the PGA golf tournament in Verona, N.Y.

And David Bell sends two cards from Croatia. "Today we rode bicycles ... on the Dalmatian Coast," he writes. "The history is fantastic and the beauty spectacular." TODAY'S JOKE: Here's one from Bill Wood , of Hephzibah: It seems a lady went to the doctor for her yearly physical. The nurse started with certain basics.

"How much do you weigh?" she asked.

The lady said, "135." The nurse put her on the scale. It turns out she weighed 180.

The nurse asked, "Your height?" "5-foot-4," the lady said.

The nurse checked and saw that the lady measured 5-2.

The nurse then took her blood pressure and told her that it was very high.

Katharine Hepburn

0 comments


Katharine Hepburn having her own private day as part of Turner Classic Movies‘ "Summer Under the Stars" series doesn’t make my pulse race or my heart palpitate. I mean, Hepburn could be an outstanding actress, but her movies are always playing on TCM, and many have found their way onto DVD and, way back when, VHS. [Katharine Hepburn schedule.]

(Mr./Ms. TCM, for next year, how about a John Gilbert Day or a Ramon Novarro Day or a Catherine Deneuve Day or a Sessue Hayakawa Day or a Nancy Carroll Day or a Lizabeth Scott Day? Heck, I’d gladly accept a Polly Moran Day.)

Among the eleven Hepburn vehicles being presented by TCM (in addition to David Heeley‘s 1993 documentary Katharine Hepburn: All About Me), my favorite is Howard Hawks‘ 1938 screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby, co-starring Cary Grant. I’m just not sure how funny a movie can be after 18 viewings. (Actually, I’ve only watched it twice; but avid TCM’ers have probably watched that one at least a dozen times.)
A less famous — but also frequently shown — Hepburn movie I’d recommend is the fairy-taleish Quality Street (1937). Some care neither for the movie nor for Hepburn’s performance; I found both, for lack of a better word, charming. Cora Witherspoon is also great in it. George Stevens directed.

Elia Kazan‘s The Sea of Grass (1947) and John Cromwell‘s Spitfire (1934) are only for die-hard Hepburn fans, but both Dorothy Arzner‘s Christopher Strong (1933) and George Cukor‘s Keeper of the Flame (1942), however flawed, are definitely worth a look.
Whether Dorothy Arzner’s lesbianism influenced her gender-bending take on Christopher Strong I don’t know, but it’s there. That in itself adds some welcome complexity to the tale of an aviatrix who falls for a married man (Colin Clive).

In Keeper of the Flame, we get melodrama mixed with politics, as Hepburn, in the title role, discovers that democracy can’t exist without sociopolitical transparency. I don’t think anyone would argue against that — except those in power, of course — but Keeper of the Flame‘s anti-fascism, partly thanks to George Cukor’s old-school direction, is quite tame, especially when compared to something like Orson Welles‘ Citizen Kane, released the year before.

Hepburn is excellent in Summertime (1955), which earned the actress and director David Lean Academy Award nominations. Veteran Isa Miranda should have received a supporting nod, as well. She’s good.

In his autobiography, playwright/screenwriter Arthur Laurents complains that Summertime, the film version of his play The Time of the Cuckoo, diluted the play’s effectiveness by having Katharine Hepburn (not Shirley Booth) play someone named "Jane Hudson" (not "Leona Samish"). Laurents then goes on to explain the importance of a character’s name for the audience’s perception of the character itself.
That’s all fine, but I’m glad the much-too-obvious Leona became the more generic Jane — you can see in the character what the actor conveys; not what the author imposes on you — and that Hepburn got to do a beautiful job with the part.

Piranha 3d Reviews

13 comments


Speakeasy has been anticipating “Piranha 3D” for a month now, but unfortunately we’ve yet to see more than the trailer because the studio isn’t screening the movie for critics. The horror film has action, suspense, bikinis, an Oscar winner (Richard Dreyfuss), and Oscar nominee (Elisabeth Shue), a 3D severed penis and reportedly more fake blood than any other film ever made. Who could hate “Piranha 3D”? never underestimate a movie critic. Here’s what the available reviews are saying:

“The suspense is as skimpy as the swimwear in this shameless 3D remake of Joe Dante’s 1978 Jaws spoof, directed by French gore specialist Alexandre Aja. It’s spring break at a lake in Arizona, and a minor quake unleashes prehistoric gnashers on an unsuspecting parade of partying hotties. But Aja’s lazy direction and reliance on tawdry digital body trauma makes the movie more of a gloating endurance test than an actual good time.” [Tim Robey, Telegraph]

“Mere words cannot describe how awesomely gnarly this is, how hugely entertaining, and how urgently you must get yourself to the theatre to see it. This is not a joke, by the way. This movie is a complete blast. To borrow a phrase from the kind of B-horror flicks to which “Piranha 3D” is such an effective homage: Run, don’t walk. [Christy Lemire, AP]

Kelly Brook, who plays glamour model Danni, has described the 3D remake of the 1978 horror as “a big, fun B-movie with lots of boobs, blood, gore and drama”, and there are plenty of these ingredients in this cheesy romp to keep horror fans satisfied.

Texas Tax Free Weekend 2010

0 comments


Today is the start of the Texas tax free weekend 2010, a time when you will find there is no sales tax applied to certain items in an effort to provide economic relief to parents who are looking to buy school supplies.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts has announced that this tax free weekend started today at 12:01 am and ends at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) of the following Sunday, August 22. They also add:

“Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 20, 21 and 22 – the state’s annual tax holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.”

Most of basic school supplies are included in this tax free weekend, and the state has even expanded the list of items. Now you can also by tax-free baseball caps and football jerseys, but still there are items that will include tax.

By the way, there is no need to go to a physical store. You can order some items online, and if the seller has a store located in Texas, they will sell the items with zero taxes.

Kenny Edwards

0 comments


Kenny Edwards, a co-founding member of the Stone Poneys, died Wednesday after battles with cancer and a blood disorder. He was 64.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Edwards -- who was instrumental in helping Linda Ronstadt launch her career -- was hospitalized in Denver earlier in the month after collapsing on tour with Karla Bonoff. The guitarist and vocalist was subsequently moved to a hospital near his home in Santa Barbara where he passed.

Edwards was just out of high school when he steered the aforementioned but short-lived country rock band, which included Ronstadt, onto the charts when the group's song 'Different Drum' peaked at No. 13 in 1967. Although the group split soon after, Edwards went on to form the folk rock outfit Bryndle with Bonoff, Andrew Gold and Wendy Waldman.

He was perhaps best known throughout his career for his supporting musical roles with artists such as Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Vince Gill, Art Garfunkel, Brian Wilson and Bonoff.

"He was always a beacon to me," Ronstadt told the paper Thursday, citing him for his efforts in crafting her 1974 US No. 1 "You're No Good." "He introduced me to so much stuff, and his opinion always counted a lot to me."

"He came up with that guitar and bass idea that gave it a very different sound, and really gave Andrew [Gold] and Peter [Asher] something to build on," Ronstadt continued. "When he and Andrew started singing together with me, that became a really important part of my sound. He was always a really good ensemble player."

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, Bonoff heralded Edwards "for being my teacher, my musical partner and my best friend for the last 43 years."

Born in Santa Monica on Feb. 10, 1946, Edwards formed the Stone Poneys in 1965 with Bobby Kimmell. Aside from 'Different Drum,' which was penned by the Monkees' Mike Nesmith, the band had one other Top 100 hit, 'Up to My Neck in High Muddy Water.'
Although he was supporting musician for the bulk of his career, Edwards released his second solo album, 'Resurrection Road' in November 2009.

Edwards had reportedly been diagnosed with the blood disorder TTP (thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) and had also been receiving chemotherapy for prostate cancer. He is survived by his mother.

California Coast Credit Union

0 comments


Credit unions have a reputation as small, conservative and community minded – not the kinds of financial houses that get rocked when the economy turns down.
But that reputation may no longer be deserved.

Los Angeles County has lost 20 credit unions, more than 11 percent of the total, since the beginning of last year, primarily because of failures or mergers, according to a Business Journal analysis of regulators’ data.

That compares with eight local commercial banks that were lost over that span, about 10 percent of their total.

Part of the reason that the credit union industry has contracted is that most of its customers are individuals rather than businesses, and with a lingering unemployment rate of greater than 12 percent, many people have been unable to pay their auto or home loans.

Beyond that, credit unions have been allowed to expand and offer new products in recent years. Analysts said some institutions grew recklessly during the housing boom, leaving them vulnerable when the recession took hold.
“There are many credit unions that did get into markets that they didn’t immediately understand, and that led to some poor decisions that many are paying for today,” said Tom Glatt Jr., founder of Glatt Consulting LLC, a credit union consulting firm in Wilmington, N.C.

To be sure, not all credit unions are suffering, with many seeing big growth in their deposits. What’s more, at least some of the shrinkage resulted from strategic mergers between credit unions in relatively strong financial condition.

Of the credit unions that the county has lost, most have merged with other credit unions. But four have failed, two have voluntarily closed and one moved its headquarters across the country after its parent company relocated.

Those county closures do not include the region’s most spectacular recent credit union failure: the June 25 seizure of Arrowhead Credit Union in San Bernardino County by regulators who charged executives with reporting inaccurate financial data.
The most recent closure in Los Angeles County occurred July 31 when regulators shuttered Certified Federal Credit Union in Commerce. Founded more than 60 years ago, the institution had persevered through many economic downturns. However, like a number of other credit unions, it had gotten into a variety of problematic loan products, including adjustable-rate mortgages.

“You have a certain amount of credit unions that expanded very aggressively and have had a lot of problems,” said Stephen Weakley, chief executive of Vons Credit Union in El Monte, which assumed the assets of Certified after it was closed. “For a lot of credit unions, capital has become critical, and a lot of them are struggling.”

Snazzy Napper

I watched this video twice, not believing what I was seeing. But the Snazzy Napper seems to be legit. Basically, it's like a blanket for your face designed to keep out light and allow you to sleep without the "terrible inconvenience" of light seeping through your lids.

But wait, there's more. If you opt for the extra large Snazzy Napper (which looks across between a ghost costume for Halloween and a KKK robe), it has pockets for things like your cell phone.

This may be the silliest part of the whole thing. I mean, if you are distracted by a sliver of light peeking through your peppers, do you really think your vibrating (or ringing) cell phone isn't going to cause some serious interruption?

The Snazzy Napper costs $15 - $25, depending on the size, and is available here.

Dream discovery: Eat ‘healthy’ junk food

0 comments

Here is hope for those who fight the bulge – and the temptation to eat junk food. Scientists have found a way to lower fat foods like ice cream to make unhealthy.
Experts discovered that by using a protein layer on fat, unhealthy foods can be difficult to digest. This helps to curb appetite, Daily Express reported on Thursday.
People will be less hungry between meals as it takes longer for the food consumed.
Experts say the findings could lead to people can eat whatever they want without having to watch their weight.
Institute of Food Research scientists discovered the method to break down fat more slowly during digestion.
By delaying the digestion of fat and fatty acids from food to reach the last part of the small intestine, they stimulate hormones that the body is still full to tell.
“The food industry has tried to make some way food tastes the same, but are less unhealthy to be found. From a clinician’s standpoint, this is something they should come up with years ago.”
“It will make such a difference if we want the food we eat, but for it to eat a healthy version,” David Haslam, clinical director of the National Obesity Forum, was quoted as saying.
He added: “If we can eat fries and a hamburger and not the unhealthy drawbacks, that would be great. But why has it taken so long? It has been said for a generation at least the key to the obesity epidemic the environment changes people the opportunity to practice. ”
Haslam said that the “other side of the coin is food – changing the food and environment we are at the moment so no one feels limited-being told they can not eat certain things. This means that they can eat whatever they want and not unhealthy. It is a big step as it comes from.

Google Tablet Reportedly Launching Nov. 26th on Verizon

0 comments


Today brings a wealth of information about the rumored iPad rival: the Google Chrome OS tablets will be manufactured by HTC, launched on Verizon, and for sales on November 26 to go, according to the Download Squad. Black Friday.
The rumor comes from an anonymous source, but it also means that given what we had previously heard and know. It’s been rumors that Google and HTC are working together on tablet hardware since January, and clearly Google and Verizon have been terribly nice too late. And launching a major new product on Black Friday the busiest shopping day of the year would generate too much attention and, more importantly, hands-on time if they ultimately sell in brick and mortars.
Squad download is also a number of “likely” specs, and it is not clear whether that is the source or just pure speculation. But let us hope for the former: Chrome OS, Tegra 2 graphics, a multitouch display 1280×720, 2GB RAM, 32GB SSD, WiFi/Bluetooth/3G connectivity, and webcam are all mentioned as possibilities.
Until now, we will take with a grain of salt. We do not know how far the source is removed from the companies involved, and nothing here is from some “educated guess” territory would be. Yet it is gone iPad a long time without any real competition if the rumor holds up, this should make for a great holiday statement.

Wachovia Login Issues Bring Negative

2 comments

In January, Bank of America’s corporate website, and the bank’s image as a whole, suffered from some technical problems and a bad reaction to a crisis of the Bank’s customer support team. Twitter was only medium of communication of the Bank, to the dissatisfaction of customers who are less web-savvy and prefer a different way of information (news, email announcements, etc.).
Today, similar reports affect Wachovia. A few minutes ago, login issues and website failure were reported by several credible sources like the Huffington Post and The Business Insider.
Apparently some customers have problems logging into their online accounts, while others have not faced such issues. The number of reports is too high to be ignored, and too high to be considered as a “firewall” problem of user PCs.
While Wachovia has a Twitter presence is not as strong as Bank of America, their understanding of the customer support on such a network is still bad. Offered on Wachovia’s Twitter account, there are fewer than 200 tweets that share the same reading. A large majority begin with “I work for Wachovia saw your tweet @ &.” And to be followed by a “thanks for” or “happy” or other corporate cliché that raises more questions than answers.
No official response (on Twitter or elsewhere) to Wachovia at this point, the login issues to clarify. The corporate website seems to work fine, but the banking system does not recognize the login username and password of a part of the customer to take. The bank should provide some answers quickly, or else negative reports in the press will become a PR disaster. If not addressed in time, such incidents often damaging to the reputation and credibility of a bank.

Current Events: Here at Revelife, posts based on current events tend to get a lot of attention. Current events are relevant, right? It seems that we as Christians feel the need to emphasize how much we matter to everyone’s lives and society. Driving by churches, I see signs that read: “Contemporary, relevant services.” There’s a whole Christians online magazine just called “Relevant”
What’s the big deal with “relevant”? Could it be that we don’t feel very relevant to society anymore? I think that goes without saying. Unfortunately, the response seems to be to throw ourselves into current events, to be right there at every political movement, to follow and try to copy trends and to be up on pop culture. But as The Church of No People likes to point out, our cheesy, Christian T-shirts and extreme youth group marketing posters don’t really tend to attract people.
