WATCH: Ella Mae, Elvis's Adorable Toddler Fan Sings American Trilogy
Elvis Presley has a legacy that no other artist ever had. Decades after "The King" died, he maintained a steady and growing fan base from different generations.
People young and old surely have listened to an Elvis song and had sung along with it. But one of Elvis' youngest fan is a sweet 20-month-old girl named Ella Mae. At a very tender age, Ella Mae knew by heart one of Elvis' all-time hits, "An American Trilogy. "
Ella Mae's dad played one of her favorite Elvis songs, and it didn't take long for this baby to recognize the tune. Immediately, she started singing along with her dad. As this clip attracted thousands, people were astonished at Ella Mae's mastery of the song's succession.
Though still singing in her baby babbles, there's no doubt Ella Mae has memorized by heart the American Trilogy lyrics. Along with her singing is the on-point accuracy of her facial expressions. Music artists take years to achieve putting the right facial expressions to accompany their performance. But for young Ella Mae, she nailed it!
The video goes beyond just the extraordinary mastery of a toddler to an Elvis' song though. It was noticeable that this adorable child enjoys every single time she spent with her "daddy." That display of joy is priceless.
American Trilogy Trivia
Elvis' ex-wife Priscilla Presley was the one who introduced "An America Trilogy "to Elvis. Upon hearing the song, Elvis immediately liked it. The song was released in 1972 and was arranged by country composer Mickey Newbury. The song was recorded live by Elvis from one of his concerts.
The song was a medley of three American folk songs "Dixie," "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "All My Trials." This song is considered one of the hardest songs that Elvis sang, but for this 20-month old girl, it's a piece of cake.

Q: How to create an iterable wrapper for TreeMap and HashMap (Java)? I have a class MyMap which wraps TreeMap.
(Say it's a collection of dogs and that the keys are strings).
public class MyMap {
   private TreeMap<String, Dog> map;
...
}

I would like to turn MyMap iterable with the for-each loop. I know how I would've done it if my class was a LinkedList wrapper:
public class MyList implements Iterable<Dog> {
   private LinkedList<Dog> list;
   ...
   public Iterator<Dog> iterator() {
      return list.iterator();
   }
}

But such a solution doesn't work for TreeMap because TreeMap doesn't have an iterator(). So how can I make MyMap iterable?
And the same question except MyMap wraps HashMap (instead of TreeMap).
Thanks.

A: public Iterator<Dog> iterator() {
      return map.values().iterator();
}

A: It's because you can only iterate the keys or the values of a Map, not the map itself
Typically you can do this:
for( Object value : mymap.values()  ){
  System.out.println(value);
}

So, what I'm suggesting is: does your Map need to have an iterable?  Not if you just want to get at the values... or the keys themselves.
Also, consider using Google's forwarding collections such as ForwardingList

A: public class MyMap implements Iterable<Dog> {
   private TreeMap<String, Dog> map;
   ...
   @Override
   public Iterator<Dog> iterator() {
      return map.values().iterator();
   }
}

map.values() is a collection view of the dogs contained in map. The collection's iterator will return the values in the order that their corresponding keys appear in the tree.
Thanks to Jonathan Feinberg.

A: One possibility may be to define an entrySet() method that returns a Set and then iterate over the Set.
For-each iteration would look something like this:
for (Map.Entry<String,Integer> m: someMap.entrySet()){
   System.out.println("Key="+m.getKey()+" value="+m.getValue());
}

Heritage and Places of Interest
Mellieha has a lot to offer to visitors in addition to it's popular sandy beach. It's elevated position affords magnificent and breathtaking views. Mellieha's culture and history goes back to megalithic times and also features Punic Roman and Palaeo-Christian tombs. Cart ruts can be found in several garigue areas around Mellieħa and the legendary nymph Calypso also features in the Mellieħa history. The Mellieħa Sanctuary dates back to around 1000-1100AD and it bears Byzantine style characteristics. Mellieha has a magnificent perched parish church together with other churches and chapels. Fortifications include the Red Tower, Fort Campbell and other towers. You'll also find a number of World War II shelters, some of which are open to the public.
Popeye Village overlooking Anchor Bay is another attraction which generates a lot of interest with tourists. It has grown from it's days as a film set for the 1980 movie 'Popeye' and is filled with a number of colorful fun activities for the young and young at heart. The whole family can be part of a unique filming experience with the animation crew, giving you the opportunity to see yourself on the big screen.
St. Paul's Bay has always played a very important part in the history of Malta and goes back 6000 years. Although this locality is not known for its archaeological and historical importance, it holds a number of heritage sites, the oldest of which are 7 prehistoric tombs, two Neolithic temples, ancient cart-ruts, Punic tombs and other bronze-age remains. The shipwreck of St. Paul in the year 60AD is a very important event that changed Malta's history with St. Paul's Bay island as a permanent reminder.
With the arrival of the Knights, the north of the island saw the construction of forts, trenches, batteries, redoubts and towers. Grandmaster Wignacourt built his tower in 1610; another tower was built in Qawra in 1637 with Mistra Battery being built in 1653 and 2 redoubts in Xemxija were constructed in 1715. Two fougasses were dug on either side of Salina Bay in 1740 in order to bombard enemy attackers with stones and rocks, one of Malta's very few natural resources.
In addition, Wardija and it's vicinity including San Martin, offers rural and scenic beauty. There are various chapels in the area including San Pawl Milqi. There is an interesting chapel in Wardija as well as the Wardija battery. The Agricultural Heritage Museum in San Martin is probably unknown to most visitors, likewise the Grotto and Chapel there.
On the eastern edge of Bajda Ridge overlooking Xemxija, within an area barely measuring half a square kilometer, a wide variety of archaeological sites are concentrated, ranging from the neolithic age more than 5500 years ago through Punic and Roman times. The area is well cared for and organised into an interesting heritage trail which starts along an uphill road dating back to the Roman era then cuts across the ridge, past ancient cave dwellings, tombs and apiaries, heading towards Mellieħa. In the Miżieb woodland to the west of the road are ruins of what may have been a megalithic temple. To the east, one can head towards Punic tombs and more cave dwellings. Even further to the east, one comes across a prehistoric grain silo and a cluster of six rock-cut Neolithic tombs dating from the early temple period 5500 years ago. In the northeast overlooking Mistra Valley and Mistra Gate, beneath the cart ruts, one can find the Roman baths in an evocative setting on the cliff face.
Bajda Ridge is bound to the south by Pwales Valley and to the north by Miżieb and Mistra Valleys. From the top of this ridge, one can enjoy views of Xemxija Bay and St. Paul's Bay in the distance.

CIA was lying about torture even to its own staff - CIA veteran Kiriakou
9 Feb, 2013 08:14
AFP Photo / Files / Paul J. Richards © AFP
President Obama adopted most of President Bush's counter-terrorism policies, argues John Kiriakou - the former CIA official who blew the whistle on the agency's torture practices and is now set to go behind bars for it.
After 9/11 Kiriakou served as the chief of counter-terrorist operations in Pakistan. Now he is heading to prison, having been sentenced to two-and-a-half years. Despite that, he says he is proud to have played a role in outlawing torture. Voting for Obama, Kiriakou believed that it would bring positive change – but it never came, he told RT. "I never believed I would be going to prison under a President Obama. Never."RT: You were convicted of revealing the identity of an agent to a freelance reporter who, by the way, never even published it. You said you regretted sharing the name of the agent, of the officer, that you apologized for it. But you also said it was not the reason the government went after you. Why do you think the government went after you? John Kiriakou: I've never believed that my case was about a leak. I've always believed my case is about torture. When I went on ABC News in December 2007 and I said that not only was the CIA torturing prisoners, but that the torture policy was an official US Government policy that was approved at the very top, by the President of the United States himself, the CIA filed what's called "a crimes report" against me the next day with the Justice Department. The Justice Department never stopped investigating me from December of 2007 until I was finally arrested in January 2012. So to say that this case is a result of a name that was found in attorney's brief at Guantanamo is just simply not true. RT:So they were looking for something? JK: They were looking for something to pin on me. RT: What I find most outrageous about your case is that had you been actually accused of torture, of human right violations, you wouldn't have gone to jail. JK: No.
'Most people don't realize this but President Obama has surrounded himself with the same Intelligence advisors who advised President Bush.'
RT: They would dismiss any accusation because US Government has classified everything related to its torture practices. But yet you go to prison because you talked about it. Why do you think this administration, President Obama, who signed an executive order to stop torture at the very beginning of his first term, why do you think he is protecting folks from the previous administration? JK: Most people don't realize this but President Obama has surrounded himself with the same Intelligence advisors who advised President Bush. Through most of the first term, the CIA had the same deputy director that Bush had, the same director of operations that Bush had. John Brennan, who is President Obama's new designee to be the CIA director and until a week ago or so, was the deputy national security adviser, was under President Bush the director of the National Counter-Terrorism Center and up to his eyeballs in torture policy. So even if we changed presidents, there was no real change of Intelligence advisors, at least not on counter-terrorism. RT: John Brennan. You mentioned John Brennan and I want to ask you about him – the future head of the CIA. What kind of the CIA Chief he is going to be in your opinion? JK: I think he's going to be somebody who is extremely aggressive. And who will probably be walking on the edge of the law. RT: You worked with him. JK: I did, I worked with John Brennan for many years. I know him pretty well. RT: Mr. Kiriakou, you yourself supported torture before you were against it. What happened? What changed your position? JK: Well, let me correct you on that. There is something that most Americans missed in my regional NBC interview. I was trying to draw distinction between whether torture was right or wrong, or whether it worked. I believed it was wrong and I called it torture and I said that torture was official policy – that's on the one side. On the other side, the CIA had told us internally at the time that it was working. RT: When was that?JK: That was in 2002–2003. They were telling us it was working. We now know from the Inspector General's report that was released in the spring 2009 that that was a lie. That the CIA was lying even to those of us inside the CIA. And I think it was just to protect themselves and to protect the policy. But it never worked. RT: Did you have a personal experience related to torture? Were you personally involved in torture? JK: No, thank God, I was never personally involved in torture. When I returned from Pakistan in the early summer of 2002 where I had been chief of Counter-Terrorism Operations, I was asked by a senior officer in the CIA's Counter-Terrorist Center if I wanted to be trained in the use of these torture techniques and I said "no", I had a moral problem with it and I didn't want to be associated with it. There were 14 of us at the time who were made the offer. Two of us said "no" and then one of us, not me, the other guy, changed his mind. So I was the only one who was made the offer who declined.RT: Because at that time you already believed that it wouldn't work? JK: I didn't know if it would work. They were telling us it would. But I just believed it was wrong. You know at the CIA, part of the CIA's culture is to couch all issues in shades of gray. You have to be very comfortable working in morally nebulous situations or legally nebulous situations. But there are some things that really are black and white. And I believed that was a black-and-white issue. RT: There is something that I think you will find interesting and something I would like you to comment on. Polls by the American Red Cross show that the majority of Americans find torture acceptable. 60 per cent of young people agree. Whereas four years ago torture was largely condemned in the US. How did this become the new norm? What happened in those four years? JK: I think that many people who told pollsters in the early or middle part of the last decade were reacting to President Bush. Little by little President Obama adopted most of President Bush's counter-terrorism policies. And just because he happens to be Nobel Peace Prize-winner Barack Obama, most Americans who haven't paid much attention have just bought in. I think it's a question of education, here domestically. People need to be informed.RT: Did Hollywood have a role to play? JK: I think Hollywood had a role to play. I think that Zero Dark Thirty, for example, did a great disservice to counter-terrorism. Zero Dark Thirty perpetuates this grand lie that torture led to the killing of Osama Bin Laden. It's just simply not true. RT: Myths often become history. One comedian here said, it was about Zero Dark Thirty by the way: "Movies – it's serious. Movies is where Americans learn their history". JK: It's true.
'The first Al-Qaeda I've ever caught was a 19-year-old boy from Tunisia. And the only reason he went to Afghanistan was he had nothing else to do.'
RT: What myths, what other myths do you see being perpetuated now related to the war on terror? JK: I think one of the great myths, and I chuckle to myself because it always seems so ridiculous to me, was President Bush's statement that they hate us because we love freedom. I know Al-Qaeda. I've captured Al-Qaeda fighters. I've had conversations, sitting across the table like I'm with you with Al-Qaeda leaders. And I can tell you from first-hand personal experience that the reason people take up arms against us is because of a lack of education. RT: Yes, that I understand, but the United States can't educate the whole world.JK: No, we can't. But we can help other countries develop an infrastructure so that they can educate themselves. RT: Tell me more about those encounters with those. What other impressions did you have? JK: The first Al-Qaeda I've ever caught was a 19-year-old boy from Tunisia. And the only reason he went to Afghanistan was he had nothing else to do. He had no skills and no way of making a living and he wanted to get married. So the local imam said: "if you want to make some money, you know what you should do? You should go to Afghanistan and make Jihad against the Americans. If you do that, I know somebody who will pay your family $500 and you can use that for a dowry. And you can get a wife." So this kid had nothing against the United States, he had never really thought about the United States.RT: So from your experience you saw no ideology? JK: I saw very little. You see ideology in some of the older fighters, some of the leaders – the camp commanders, for example. Sure, there is ideology there. But in my short time in Pakistan I captured 52 Al-Qaeda fighters and I can count on one hand the number of people who were real ideologues, who really were there for jihad, who were really there to kill Americans. Three out of 52.
'We find ourselves murdering people and in many cases children with no evidence whatsoever that they are involved in any criminal or terrorist activity.'
RT: The perception of Guantanamo too has gone a long way since 2008 when it was a burning and highly controversial issue. Most recently, you know, the State Department has shut down the office that was working to shut down the Guantanamo prison. Is that this administration way of saying "forget about Guantanamo, let's move on?"JK: I think it is. I think it is. Again, where is the outrage? The American people really don't care if Guantanamo is open or closed.RT:This administration, it appears, decided not to bother about interrogations, Guantanamo and prisoners and all that and just to bomb whoever seems suspicious with drones. What do you think about this administration's "no prisoners" policy? JK: We find ourselves murdering people and in many cases children with no evidence whatsoever that they are involved in any criminal or terrorist activity. And what this does is that it encourages other people to take up arms against us. RT: John Brennan, the architect of the drone program basically, and it was last year, I think, when he claimed that US drone strikes caused no civilian deaths in Pakistan over the prior year which was an outright lie by so many accounts. Do you think we are going to see more transparency with regards to drones with John Brennan at the helm of the CIA? JK: No, I don't. With John Brennan "secrecy" is the key word. Unless of course, you know, he chooses to leak for the benefit of the administration. RT: What did you expect when you decided to go public, to come clean on torture at the CIA. I mean your wife worked at the CIA and she was fired because of you. You are a father of five and you are going to prison. What future did you envision for yourself five years ago? JK: I didn't envision prison in my future five years ago. I expected there to be a national debate on whether or not we wanted to use torture as an official US policy. Now I'm very happy, proud actually, that I played a role in that debate and now the law of the land is that torture is illegal – I'm very proud of that. I didn't expect that the government would go after me so relentlessly. I stood in the snow for two hours to vote for President Obama. I really believed that this was positive change. I believed that he deserved that Nobel Peace prize only because I expected things to change so dramatically at the beginning of his first term. So no, I never believed I would be going to prison under a President Obama. Never. That's been I think my biggest disappointment. RT: But you haven't seen a dramatic change?JK: I haven't seen any change. RT: But he stopped torture. JK: He stopped torture, sure, but in terms of counter-terrorism policy I think the Obama Administration is largely an extension of the Bush Administration.

'Totally Biased' Comic On Race, Politics And Audience
W. Kamau Bell's new FX weekly series Totally Biased mixes standup, sketches and interviews.
This show was originally broadcast on September 13, 2012.
Before comic W. Kamau Bell became host of the weekly political humor show Totally Biased, which mixes standup, sketches and interviews, he had a one-man show called The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour.
"If you bring a friend of a different race, you get in 2 for 1," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross.
Bell is not joking. He wants people of all races at his one-man show.
"I knew if I did a show about race, I wanted to make sure I didn't just get a theater audience, because otherwise, generally, a theater audience is a more white audience," he says. "And I knew that if a black guy was on stage doing a show about race and racism and he was doing it in front of all white people, then it becomes like court testimony. And I really wanted to make sure that there was people in the audience who could either affirm what I was saying or disagree with what I was saying in front of other people."
Bell's new late-night show has a bit of his own biography, he says.
"I don't look the same as the people who are on late-night TV, which means I don't have the same life experience, which means when I look to sit down and create these pieces with the writers, I'm trying to find an angle in it that's more personal to me," he says.
And that means addressing race. Bell says he didn't set out to be a political comedian — it just turned out that way because he has always been interested in race issues.
"Nobody considered my act political until America got a black president," he says. "I talked about race a lot. It just became that, once Barack started running for president, I started to care a lot about the presidency in a way that I hadn't cared before. Because everyday on TV, I saw this black guy who was under a microscope, and I felt like there was some percentage of me in that guy that I didn't see in, say, George W. Bush or even Bill Clinton ... and so my act — really, I got labeled a political comedian; that wasn't the thing I was trying to do."
Bell says he approaches political events a little differently than other late-night comedians.
"A lot of times people think comedy is making fun of things, and I feel like, no, it can also just be making fun out of things," he says. "That, to me, is the kind of comedy I always like to do, where you can make jokes about the thing without making fun of the thing."
The season finale of Totally Biased, produced by Chris Rock, airs Sept. 20 on FX.
Bell, based in San Francisco, is the founding member of the comedy collective Laughter Against the Machine. He co-hosts the podcast The Field Negro Guide to Arts & Culture with Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid.
On being called out on prejudices he didn't realize he had
"When I started doing my solo show, one of my good friends, Martha, said to me, she's like, 'Kamau, you can't end racism and make sexism worse.' And I was like, 'What do you mean by that?' And she went through my solo show and pointed out all the different parts of it that she felt were sexist. And that's a good friend, a friend who will tell you that in a way that you can hear. And that was a real revelation for me, is that you can't sort of pick your issue over other people's issue — that if you want to end the ignorance of something, you have to end all the ignorances or at least not make some of the ignorances worse."
On being open about his dislike of actor Tyler Perry
"There's this thing with black people that we, sometimes we feel like we have to have a unified front, and we have to protect things even if we don't like them, because we know that at any point, one of us can get snatched up and be accused of something we didn't do. And I sort of felt, under the protection of a black president, maybe we could have some more independent opinions. Unfortunately, that hasn't changed as much as I thought it would."
On being in an interracial marriage
"Sometimes people will say if you are in an interracial relationship that you're somehow a sellout or you're taking the easy route, or something like that. And, literally, if you want to talk about race a lot in your life, marry a person who is a different race than you — because that will become a topic in ways that it probably wouldn't if you marry a person of the same race."

About This Photograph
Sophie Berkowitz (born Zofia Zajd) is the daughter of Chaim Dawid and Doba Zajd. She was born March 3, 1920 in Dzialoszyce, Poland, where her father owned a shoe store. Zofia had four siblings: Mietek, Regina, Rozia and Fela. In 1923 her family moved to Lodz, where they lived through the first six months of World War II. In March 1940 Zofia moved to Czestochowa to be with her fiance, Jakub Icik Berkowicz. The couple married in the ghetto one month later on April 7, 1940. Zofia was put to work in the Hasag labor camp in Czestochowa, where she remained until the end of the war. Zofia and her brother, Mietek, were the only survivors of their immediate family. After the war Zofia and Jakub went to find their niece Celina Berkowitz, the daughter of Jakub's brother Sigmund and his wife Cutka. Shortly before their death in the spring of 1943, Celina's parents placed her in hiding with a Polish Christian by the name of Genowefa Starczewska-Korczak. Genowefa took care of Celina, along with her own two daughters, until her husband was executed by the Germans. Afterwards she was forced to place the three girls in an orphanage in Czestochowa. Genowefa kept in close contact with the children, however, and brought them home every weekend. Celina became very attached to Genowefa, whom she affectionately called Aunt Genia, and was reluctant to leave the Starczewska-Korczak household when Zofia and Jakub found her after the war. Eventually, however, Celina agreed to go with her aunt and uncle, who then formally adopted her. The three made their way to Austria, where they lived in the Bad Gastein displaced persons camp and in Vienna, before immigrating to the United States in 1948. The Berkowitz family kept in touch with Genowefa after the war and were instrumental in gaining her recognition by Yad Vashem as one of the Righteous Among the Nations in 1986.

Harry will visit Washington, D.C. at the end of October, his first trip back to the nation's capital in two years. During his May 2013 visit, the prince laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery, visited with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and met with wounded veterans at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He also surprised guests at a Mother's Day tea hosted at the White House by first lady Michelle Obama.
This time around, he will be in Washington to attend events connected with the 2016 Invictus Games for wounded warriors, the palace said in a statement. Orlando will host the event next May, welcoming hundreds of visitors from more than a dozen nations in nine sports.

Prince Harry also plans to head to South Africa and Lesotho from Nov. 26 to Dec. 4 to conduct work for various charities, including the organization he helped found, Sentebale. The Lesotho-based charity will be opening a new children's center to help youth with AIDS and HIV.

How Can You Avoid Hazards When Playing Disc Golf?
No matter if you are a new disc golfer or an experienced player; you don't have control on the hazards that can hinder your game on the disc golf course anytime. From seeing your disc clunking against the tree to losing it, there are a lot of problems that you might face during a round. Hazards are an indispensable part of the disc golf game. You might have always practiced perfecting your toss, but trees and bushes can still create issues during your game.
You must learn how to avoid these hazards and hit the chains to score. You must focus on improving your game by practicing on each golf course. This will help you in plotting how you will be able to overcome a certain type of hazard during the game.
Here are some of the tips that will help you in avoiding the hazards to a great extent if they are adding strokes to your score.
Tossing high, in the beginning, is the sign of a non-professional golfer. These throws are not only bad in the golf course but also end up smacking the tree branches and even getting stuck on a tree high up. This is the surest way to lose a disc unless someone is dedicated and willing to help you find your lost discs. It is best to avoid such hazards by aiming low.
Most disc golfers are in a hurry to throw the disc that they don't even check for the fairway. It is always better to take time to visualize how you want to throw the disc to the target, and to by keep in mind the potential hazards that might be your way.
Over-thinking results in many misses and hitting hazards. It is always better to avoid the distractions and concentrate on your goal. You might have smacked a tree that was in the middle of your path while thinking about avoiding it. The reason is that when you over think something, you end up in the pitfall anyway. It is better to focus on the task on hand than the negative side-effects.
Your throw varies from time to time. It highly depends on the obstacles that are in your way. If you aren't careful, a hard throw can be the worst option if the ricochet will leave you in a worse position than when you started. Sometimes throwing softly and in a controlled manner will leave you in a better spot when throwing through numerous hazards.
Success is all about understanding and practicing intelligently for the game to become a good disc golfer. Because you will get to practice and play in the same courses over and over again, you will become familiar with every hole and the best approach that you can use for them. It can be frustrating to hit a tree in the middle of your game but this will add to your experience and will make you a better player. With time, you will learn how to avoid hazards and make controlled throws to the disc golf basket.
Hazards are an integral part of the disc golf game. You cannot ignore them. You must learn how to throw around them for a better play.


Alastair Cook has called Graeme Swann a "so-called friend" after the former England spinner called for him to quit as captain for the World Cup.
Swann told Test Match Special that former team-mate Cook "shouldn't be bothering playing one-day cricket".
But Cook said: "I don't think it's that helpful, especially from a so-called friend."
Cook was speaking after England's 133-run defeat by India in the second one-day international in Cardiff.
Swann said Cook's one-day strike rate - currently at 77.98 runs per 100 balls - does not set the tone that will make England competitive in next year's World Cup in New Zealand and Australia.
"He's entitled to his opinion, but it's not ideal for me, especially when you get through the summer I've had," said Cook, who has had to resist calls to quit as England's Test captain.
Cook also confirmed he had not spoken to Swann about his views, but added: "The phone is always open the other way.
"I am a little bit (disappointed) because he is a good friend of mine and has been a supporter.
"It's not helpful at this time, because I am going to be captain in this World Cup.
"I've done it for three-and-a-half years. We're going to build up to that, and we've got a good chance."

Hollywood Responds to Ricky Gervais' Offensive Golden Globes Jokes [VIDEO][POLL]
Ricky Gervais certainly shook things up as host of last year's Golden Globes, taking unapologetic comedic swipes at stars and the entertainment industry. But at this year's ceremony, Gervais took his insult comedy even further and the audience was not amused. The celebrity targets balked at his humor and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, organizers of the Globes, are hinting that the British comic won't be back in 2012.
Gervais' monologue, in which he skewered the recent box-off flop The Tourist (whose stars, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, were in attendance) and Charlie Sheen (who was not), as well as his bits throughout the ceremony left a both stars and press with a bad taste in their mouths.
Robert Downey Jr., among the offended, called Gervais "hugely mean-spirited" while onstage and critics were quick to chime in, too:
"Ricky Gervais, the master of ceremonies, broke the rule of paying homage to the obscure foreign journalists whose one lever of power are those awards. He was merciless from the start."
The Washington Post:
"Are we at war with England? If not, then why have we been subjected to two years of Gervais hosting the Golden Globe Awards, witnessing a growing hostility between the British comedian and a resentful audience of celebs?"
Los Angeles Times:
"Poking fun at big stars is in the job description. But televised teasing requires a lightness of touch or else it quickly becomes bullying."
To top it off, Hollywood Foreign Press president Philip Berk (also roasted by Gervais) told The Hollywood Reporter that the host "definitely crossed the line," but he couldn't have been entirely offended: the broadcast was seen by 17 million viewers — its largest TV audience in three years.
POLL. When all is said and done, who is to blame for the offensive remarks? Is it Ricky? As a professional should he have known where the line was and not crossed it? Or are the producers of the Golden Globes repsonsible?

Higher energy prices and borrowing costs make it more expensive than last year for Bill Savickas to operate his wholesale produce business — especially since it's hard to pass the increases on to his customers.
"No one wants to be the first in the industry to raise rates and then look like the bad guy," says Savickas, the owner of Tampa, Florida-based Yankee Produce Co.
While inflation overall has been tame the past few years, economists including those on the Federal Reserve Board forecast an acceleration in price increases this year. That's going to put more pressure on small businesses that don't have the big revenue cushions that larger companies do to help absorb costs. Smaller businesses also don't have the negotiating power to get better prices from vendors. And many have already been contending with rising costs, particularly for labor and energy.
Yankee Produce uses big trucks to haul and deliver the fruit, vegetables and other food it sells. But nationwide diesel prices are up an average of nearly 30 cents a gallon from a year ago, which makes filling up an average tractor-trailer nearly $100 more expensive than it was in early 2017. The difference comes out of profit.
He's also facing higher borrowing costs. The interest on his business line of credit was in the 6 percent range when the Fed was keeping rates stable, but now it's between 7 percent and 7.5 percent. And after an increase last week, many economists expect the Fed to raise interest rates two more times this year.
Wholesale prices, those paid by companies, were up 2.8 percent in February compared to a year earlier, according to the Labor Department's Producer Price Index, while consumer prices as measured by the Consumer Price Index were up 2.2 percent. The faster growth in wholesale prices is a sign companies generally haven't been passing on costs, including rising labor costs, says Gus Faucher, chief economist with PNC Financial Services Group.
Wages and salaries are rising because of the tight labor market that forces employers to increase pay to attract and retain good workers. Minimum wage increases are also a factor; minimums are up in 18 states this year.
Avital Ungar's company, Avital Tours, runs excursions in San Francisco and Los Angeles that take people on progressive dinners — each course is served at a different restaurant. When labor costs go up at the restaurants, Ungar's costs rise. The minimum wage in San Francisco will go to $15 on July 1, while the minimum in Los Angeles will rise to $13.25 for large companies and $12 for small ones. Higher food prices also get passed along to Ungar.
Ungar is helped by the fact that her customers are willing to splurge on a fine dining experience, like tabs that come to $100 with wine and other alcoholic beverages. Still, she worries that ongoing price increases will hurt her business.
Overall inflation is a problem too. "We've also seen an increase in living costs in the San Francisco Bay Area that significantly impact our ability to hire great employees who can afford to live here," Ungar says.
Trade issues, including the tariffs the Trump administration plans to impose on some steel and aluminum imports, could also hurt small businesses, Anderson says. Another factor is the dollar's recent weakness against other currencies, which makes imports more expensive.
Alex Naoum sees frequent increases in the costs for hair care products and other supplies at his beauty school and two hair salons in Greenville, North Carolina, as well as annual rent increases. But he knows if he alienates customers, there are plenty of other salons they can go to.
It now costs $14 to skate or bike for three hours, up from $12. Pollio was nervous that would lead to a drop in customer visits, given that families could spend a considerable amount to bring their kids and their friends for an afternoon of skating.
"When we raise the price for our customers, well, they're all strapped too," he says. So far, the numbers are holding up.
How Do I Figure Out Wholesale Pricing?


Mack-Cali Realty Corporation has acquired Alterra at Overlook Ridge IA in Metro Boston for approximately $61.3 million and has also agreed to acquire Alterra at Overlook Ridge IB for approximately $88.7 million from a joint venture that includes Prudential Insurance Co. of America.
Combined, the multi-family properties consist of 722 units in the master-planned community of Overlook Ridge in Revere and Malden, Mass, with Alterra at Overlook Ridge IA containing 310-units and Alterra at Overlook Ridge IB home to 412 units.
Mack-Cali's recently acquired Roseland subsidiary developed Alterra IA in 2004 and Alterra IB in 2008 for the venture, and has managed the properties since completion. The properties were 97.2 percent leased at the time of the sale.
Both are Class A properties with resort-style amenities, including heated outdoor pools, fitness centers, lounges with billiards, business centers, cinema screening rooms and direct access parking garages.
The Overlook Ridge community is located just five miles north of downtown Boston and is nearby to many restaurants, shopping and attractions. It also features superior access to a vast highway network, direct access to MBTA bus service, as well as private shuttle service.
In addition to managing Alterra, Roseland developed and manages the adjacent Quarrystone and is actively constructing the 371-unit Highlands at Overlook Ridge in joint venture with UBS.


As an amateur knitter (yep, I've got all the cool hobbies down), I love it when I see contemporary Scottish winter design that doesn't centre around cable knit and tweed. Founder Jenny McCraw is a recent graduate of Gray's School of Art and is injecting fun and style into this traditional textile. I was so excited when the fluffy pieces popped up at the Tea Green Concept Atelier and I've been lusting ever since. But when I'd first discovered Yellow Bubble I thought it was a lost cause.
You see, I'm actually allergic to some wools (and soap, detergents, some perfumes and about 50 other things). I have sensitive skin and get contact dermatitis. I'm lucky though, it's not that noticeable now that I've learned how to take care of my skin. When I worked in retail, I had constant problems with my hands from being in contact with so many fabrics and it became impossible to tell which ones were causing flare ups. Even now, shopping in winter really isn't my favourite and I hesitate before touching any kind of knitted item. I've had to avoid brands I love because I literally cannot touch the products!
A few gentle swipes at the Spring collection told me that it was Kimberley Safe. Finally I can get on board with beautiful Scottish wools. It might be because it's not a scratchy wool-, especially with all that faux fur fluffiness! When we got a sneak peek at the Yellow Bubble Winter 2016 lookbook I was really hoping to spot some more of that fuzz and I love that it is modelled by a man to show how versatile it is. The jumper looks almost as good on me as on him. The oversized sleeves work well with the fluffy blocking, and I didn't think I'd be looking for a crop in a winter jumper but it really works to balance it out. Pairing it with these sports luxe trousers (old faves and an early incarnation of the joggers everyone wears now) keeps the proportion in check.
Minimalist but statement pieces, these knits are a breath of fresh air in a world of plain Jane jumpers. I love a matching set and tripling it up really makes an impact with what is- for me- quite a subtle shade. I didn't need or want to wear any jewellery with this grey on grey on grey. These old heels pull the whole look together to dress up an otherwise casual look. It's on trend and cool without trying too hard. As you can probably tell, I'm pretty pleased with this fuss-free, (itch-free) comfortable outfit.
Thanks again to Yellow Bubble for keeping us cosy on a crisp October day.

John Goslin: Beware, ladies! I just got a hair transplant
Attention, single women around the world:
You may find this a warning or an exciting teaser, but … John Goslin is officially back on the market.
Polarized ex The reality star broke up with his very long girlfriendColin Gilbert, back in August 2021.
As far as we can tell, Goslin hasn't met anyone since – but it seems that the father of eight hopes to change that in the near future.
In the latest episode of The Doctors Goslin delved in detail into the recent hair transplant procedure as well as about his motivation to take the step.
"When I first started losing hair, I was very upset because I used to have a lot of hair," John says on the air. "I don't want tall people looking at my bald head."
Goslin further stressed that its transformation is associated not only with the hairline, but rather with full and complete evolution.
"Physically, I want to get back in shape," he added, making it as if he wanted to return to the dating game.
John, of course, was married to Kate Goslin from 1999 to 2009, divorced amid rumors that the former had betrayed the latter.
Over the years that have passed since the two sides continually broke up with each other, John has often appeared in occasional talk shows and blamed his ex-wife for how rarely he talks to most of his children.
«[Communicating with] It's very difficult for the children who live with Kate, because I don't have an open relationship with them. " Whined John Entertainment Tonight a few days ago, adding:
"I think it was a bad parenting decision.
"It would have been much better if she had been more open with them and explained better … I was estranged from these children."
John has had primary care for 13-year-old Colin and 18-year-old Hannah for about a year.
He gets along very well with each of them.
However John recently said has not spoken to some of his other children for eight years – which is simply stunning and depressing.
At least he has Hannah, we suppose.
"I decided to live with my dad, I feel like I just made a choice for myself," he said the teen said ET last weekcontinuing as follows:
"I've always been closer to my father, and we've always had a strong good relationship.
"It's a lot to grow up in a very busy family with lots of kids. And there's really no one-on-one relationship to the attention you have with your parents.
"I felt like my dad was giving me that kind of attention and feeling that I had a good, strong relationship with my parents."
Hannah did not delve into the specifics of her controversial mother, but added in the same interview:
"It was a difficult decision to leave my siblings that I didn't want to part with them or even, for example, live in a house other than theirs.
"But I just feel like there was an unfair treatment in my mom's house and I just wanted to live with my dad."

This is the follow up to my post, "Antique File Cabinet Coffee Table".
I designed my subway art in Photoshop and then Staples printed it, the price for printing is minimal. This was printed on legal size paper and the design does not need flipped. I have used the wax paper transfer method with my inkjet printer, (here) and it does work, but this is fairly large print and so much easier.
How I transferred my subway art onto the coffee table. Citrasolv is the key word here. I have tried everyway possible I think to transfer to furniture, fabric and whatever else, but this by far is the best! I had ordered the Citra solv from Amazon several months ago and decided this time I would try this method. Mainly because this was such a big piece to transfer.
* It does not require much Citra solv. The little jar is only about 1/4 full, and I didn't even use that much on the whole project. I put a lid on this little mason jar and saved the rest for the next project.
* I measured my print to get it in the middle of the coffee table and taped the print at the top and side only.
* Using a cotton ball, dip into the Citra solv and then wet only a small part of the print.
* I used a brayer to make sure the print was flat on the surface.
* Start rubbing with a paint stick, a knife, orange stick, or whatever you find comfortable in using. This print has several fonts so every little piece of the print needs rubbed onto the surface.
* I check every once in awhile by lifting up the print to see that the print is on the surface.
* Continue this method until finished.
A man, except under business circumstances, does not offer to shake hands with a woman unless she makes the move first.
How about an eclectically antique coffee table from an old file cabinet? I love the way this turned out, after admittedly, sitting in my garage for over a year.
I don't like to use the word "Restore" unless, whatever project one is doing, the item is brought back as much as possible to the original form. Some items are just not restorable to the point that can be done. I had a beautiful Victorian home previously and I would get annoyed at times when people said I was remodeling, no I restored. In a home though it does need to be remodeled at times to accommodate for plumbing and such. To me that doesn't mean you can't use paint though. I get comments at times that I have ruined a piece because I painted it, so be it, I like white chippy paint! I like the farmhouse décor and that usually means some paint.
The cabinet had some wrinkles, but nothing I couldn't work with and love.
The first thing was to put slats on the bottom for the wheels. The reason the above photo has two unpainted slats is because the first wheels we put on were just to small ascetically. So we actually replaced the wheels after the file cabinet had been painted. Also, these wheels were silver when I bought them, I spray painted the metal part with Rust-oleum Hammered spray paint. Photo on right.
Sometimes I take the veneer off, sometimes I just leave the chippy places and paint over them, but this time I filled in the chipped veneer with plastic wood putty and sanded and sanded.
The paint was a satin finish from a hardware store, no special chalk paint this time, though sometimes I do use chalk paint. I waxed the cabinet with Annie Sloan clear wax and distressed slightly with dark wax. I kept the name plates and replaced the handles.
Now the fun part!!! I will post how I did the subway art in a few days. I will also be sharing the subway art that I made and used for anyone to download.
Sharing my post with these AWESOME blogs.
Decency dictates that a man or boy give up his seat to a tired mother with a young child or a baby in her arms, to a pregnant woman, or to an old or crippled one- or to an old or disabled man. The person to whom the seat has been given says, "Thank you," but never opens a conversation with his or his benefactor.
TIP- I hate messing with garlic, so I buy it already minced and roasted. It is so similar to making it yourself!
1. Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water, add milk. Stir grits and salt into liquid mixture. Cook (microwave) until thicken, add cheese and pepper and cook one more minute.
2. In a large skillet heat oil and add garlic, cook about 1 minute and add frozen shrimp and Old Bay seasoning. Sauté and reduce for several minutes, until shrimp has cooked through.
Costume and real jewelry may be worn together if this is done tastefully.

Newman Grove fire fighters pulled down a portion of the Martinson home that was collapsing after the fire. A portion of the structure is still standing.
Newman Grove Volunteer Fire Department was called to a house fire on north 11th Street in Newman Grove, Friday morning, Dec. 20, at 7:45 a.m.
The home, owned by the Forrest Martinson Estate, was heavily involved when firemen arrived, with fire from the basement to the attic, according to Craig Lilja, fire chief.
The home was considered a total loss. A portion of the north end of the structure was collapsing and had to be pulled down.
Cause of the fire was listed as undetermined after inspection by the State Fire Marshall.
The home had been damaged in the flooding last March, and a contractor had been doing some work inside, Lilja said.
Newman Grove Fire Department had 18 personnel and six units on site. After the initial fire was extinguished, firemen were called back to the scene to extinguish some embers in one section. It was fully extinguished by 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Martinson passed away on Aug. 25, 2019.

Sp Spider-Man St Standoff: Why Sony Believes That "Kevin's Playbook" Is No Longer Needed
August 21, 2019 Entertainment 3 Views
The divorce became public on August 20, when Sony blamed Disney's feet and declared that the Burbank-based studio was now too busy for Feige to work on future films. "We hope that this will change in the future, but we understand that the many new responsibilities Disney has assigned to him – including all newly added Marvel features – will not give him time to work on IP, which she does not own, "said Sony Pictures. The feud was a rare sign of conflict between the studios. Even Avengers: Endgame star Jeremy Renner joined the fight and made an Instagram appeal: "Hey, @sonypictures, we want Spider-Man back to @therealstanlee and @marvel, please, thanks."
Disney and Sony were in different places when the idea of cooperation was launched in 201
4. Sony came out of two successful, but widely mocked Amazing Spider-Man films and was considered a waste of the most popular Marvel hero. Although successful, Marvel still found his feet in his "Phase Two" and jumped from a nadir with Thor: Dark World to a zenith with Guardians of the Galaxy. 19659002] In this environment, Amy Pascal, co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment, turned to Feige and made a suggestion at lunch. What followed was a very simple arrangement. It's so easy, insiders say, that the deal only lasted four to five pages. Sony would loan Spider-Man for a film, Captain America: Civil War and in return Sony would avail Feiges production service for two films. The deal was later revised to include both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame . "You have to remember, Marvel was not in the same place as now, it was still a question of how far this" superhero thing "could go, says an insider who is familiar with the business.
Disney did not receive a production fee still cowardly for the original business, several insiders say. "Having Spider-Man in only one of their films at this time was a stem cell infusion for Marvel," notes a source relative to the company's then-readiness to operate. [19659002] There was also the unique merchandising arrangement, with Sony having previously assigned merchandising rights to Disney for a one-time payment of $ 175 million to Disney Insiders noted that Disney paid Sony an annual license fee of approximately $ 30 million Sources say that Disney has tied the license fee to the performance of the fig-produced films; the better the films are, the lower it is t the license fee. (It is unclear whether this will change in the future.)
Nonetheless, the agreement was groundbreaking. Here was a big studio that gave one of its lead actors a rival who had the movie rights of a character he otherwise owned. And Feige got a license to run Spider-Man the way he wanted, even if Sony had the wallet.
And both profited from the advantages of the arrangement. Civil War brought in $ 1.15 billion with the support of the Web slinger. Homecoming the first film shot by Feige, raised $ 880.1 million despite the inclusion of Marvel's Iron Man, which deepened the intertwined threads of both company's films. And Spider-Man was also an emotional film and fan favorite in the two-part Avengers films, both of which grossed over $ 2 billion. In the case of Avengers: Endgame the film became the top earner of all time. Marvel put on a winning round at the Comic-Con and got the fans into a frenzy by teasing new movies. The MCU, whose next phase is established, seems almost unstoppable.
Sony has now also pushed its renewed commitment to the Spider-Man spin-off. During a retreat, Rothman, who replaced Pascal when fired by Sony's email hack, was persuaded by two executives to consider superhero films not as a fad but as genres within a larger genre, sources say. The result was Venom a critically despised film that still earned $ 856 million. A sequel is in progress. Also in post-production is Morbius with Jared Leto.
And then there was Phil Lord and Chris Miller's Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verses animated film, which became one of the critical favorites of 2018 and won the best animated film Oscar. The feeling of Sony was that they rebounded to a place where they could strike alone. "Tom thinks," Okay, we learned everything we need from Kevin's playbook. We did Venom on our own and we did Spider-Verse "comments a Sony insider.
Insiders in both studios now mutually suggest counter offers that have never happened or allegedly generous offers. "The economic conditions for this [Spider-Man] franchise seem to have become more complicated, partially reflecting Disney's changing priorities since the Fox acquisition," says Wall Street analyst Tuna Amobi of CFRA Research, who is not surprised by the impasse. "From an economic and creative point of view, I would think that the development is likely to have more implications for Sony."
Rothman must offer a Marvel-free tariff that lives up to the hype of the character's MCU apparitions. "If the two sides do not compromise, this is a defeat for all," argues Shawn Robbins, chief analyst of the industry website Box Office. "Marvel will not be able to solve the cliffhanger in future films, which says something if it's her favorite hero, and for Sony, who has succeeded, Far From Home will not make billions of dollars without the involvement of Fig and Marvel. "
Robbins adds," The other big question is: how will fans react to a Tom Holland Spider-Man movie that does not play in the MCU? "This is a die roll that no studio takes should. "
With so much money to earn, the parties could finally come back to the table." It is in the best interest of both sides to reach an agreement, "notes analyst Steven Birenberg of Northlake Capital Management, which Shares in Disney. "Spidey is an important part of what Marvel did in the MCU, and it seemed like that was what they were up to, perhaps for the first time since Iron Man and the first one Afterward, there is some uncertainty about the success of future Marvel films, which defines success as the ridiculously high bar set by the Avengers . "
Fig has a lot on its plate, including The sequels of Thor and Black Panther and Captain Marvel as new cooks such as The Eternals and Blade all to sc Hanging from a mutant-filled pantry, which means Fox's X-Men.
Sony's slate is less diverse, and while the spin-offs and sequel to Venom are being pushed forward, the future of Spider-Man is unclear. Holland, sources say, has an option for another movie, while director Jon Watts is done with his two-picture deal and can pursue other projects. "The big test will be in about two years, when a possible Spider-Man movie is shot," says the insider from Sony.
Paul Bond and Georg Szalai contributed to the coverage.

You probably already know the answer to this one….it's their popcorn. And if you didn't know that – we're going to tell you why.
Not only are the Harkins popcorn prices very reasonable, but their popcorn is also award-winning. Yep – their popcorn has won awards. We aren't sure which awards it's won (we looked everywhere) but time and time again, Harkins claims it's award-winning. Let's just go with that.
Hi @HarkinsTheatres, I'm going to need to place an order for some popcorn. Lots of popcorn.
If popcorn's not for you, there's plenty of other items on the concessions menu to choose from. Give their new Big Screen Burger a shot if you're looking for something a little more filling – you won't be disappointed.
From our research analysing quite of few of the Harkin's menu boards, the menu only slightly changes from cinema to cinema. You may find an extra item or two and your local Harkins, but overall the menu will be quite similar.
In terms of prices of Harkins snacks and drinks, these are more likely to vary. The popcorn and drink prices you see above should be used as a guide only. For the exact cost, please contact your local Harkins Theater (all the locations are below).
You'll be pleased to know Harkins has some of the healthiest popcorn in the industry. It's popped in 100% canola oil with pure white salt – making them one of the few cinema chains in the industry using this method.
How is this way healthier? It's lower in saturated fat, using canola oil which is good for the heart, contains absolutely no cholesterol, and comes with zero trans fat (the really bad one). Oh – it also doesn't contain any wheat gluten.
The information was sourced directly from the Harkins nutritional guide. You can see it here.
You'll be pleased to know – Harkins popcorn is 100% vegan. Their popcorn has been officially verified as vegan by Harkins themselves. It also contains no tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or gluten.
our popcorn, butter and salt are vegan.
Are There Any Coupons For Harkin's Popcorn?
The best way to get discounts and coupons on popcorn and other snacks as Harkins it to sign up to their rewards program. It's completely free to join and comes with some awesome perks.
You'll get a $5 reward for every 200 points you earn and a $5 birthday gift card to use at the concessions stand.
In addition to Harkins Rewards, you can purchase the Popcorn Perks add on (optional) for $30. This will give you a free medium popcorn with the purchase of any movie ticket for 12 months or a maximum of 36 free popcorns.
You can learn more about the program at My Harkins Rewards.
So you've seen the Harkins menu, know how much their popcorn costs, and you want to pay them a visit! You'll need to know where the closest Harkins to you is.
Harkins Theaters is one of the oldest cinema chains in the country, having first been established in 1933 by Dwight Harkins – who's been inducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame.
If you were in Tempe around 1933, you might have been one of Harkins' first customers. After putting just $50 down to take over the local movie-house lease, he opened the State Theater in Tempe, Arizona.
Dwight passed away in 1974, leaving the company in the hands of his eldest son, Dan Harkins. Dan was forced to re-invigorate the company as it was in near bankruptcy at the time. He expanded into new areas and states, adding nearly an extra 30 theaters to their portfolio.
Today, Harkin's is one of Arizona's favorite cinemas, with customers consistently raving about their popcorn and special events. Those events include film festivals such as The Pheonix Film Festival, The Scottsdale International Film Festival, and DeadCenter Film Festival.
They also play a key part in the communities where they operate, organising and partnering with a number of local charities and non-profits. You can read more about their fundraising activities here.
We're glad to see Harkins in a good place, hopefully, they can continue to offer a great selection of movie along with a delicious concessions menu to choose from as well.
Otherwise, you're more than welcome to give their support office a call on (480) 627-7777. Alternatively, you can send them a message through their website.
All in all, Harkins Theaters have been serving Arizona locals for nearly 90 years. Hopefully, we'll see them stick around for the next 90 as well.
If you have any more questions about Harkins popcorn prices or their food menu, leave it in the comment box below.


I spent most of my upbringing in Alpine, UT and have been fortunate enough to travel extensively throughout my youth and adulthood. I've taken a little piece of every city with me through things such as a souvenir, a piece of clothing or a simple sketch done while people watching.
My mother is an artist and always filled our house with books, art, collections and history that highly influenced me. I've always been drawn to things of the past and mixing them with my present.
I have a hard time describing my style because it is so ingrained in me. I know what I like and I know what I don't like and have always given myself room to grow and change.
If I had to narrow it down, as much as I like basics and neutral colors I think my true self will always be drawn to a floral print dress.
I don't really know a lot about makeup or like to wear it but I do love mascara by Chanel and blush by Bobbi Brown. When it comes to skincare I don't like to put a lot on my face but I do use Kiehl's face lotion.
My favorite perfume is Olene by Diptyque Paris. It smells like wisteria on my skin and is intoxicating to me. I also have a candle that is 'lilac in rain' and is heaven.
If I'm going out I will usually throw on some lipstick, a dress and try to actually do my hair. I love lipstick; it instantly makes me feel fancy. I'm not really keen on nail polish. Dinner, drinks & dancing with my boyfriend are what I'm happiest doing.
I love to paint with watercolor or acrylic, I am currently showing my botanical series at Diabolical Records downtown. I also play shows there and other venues with the band I'm in, Muzzle Tung. I try to read as much as I can, I have a degree in English Literature so books will always be my first love.
I've tried to learn to leave work at work since weddings can be very mentally taxing. One thing I have learned is to trust my instinct and eye for color, shape and style and have been lucky enough to work with some amazing brides that have completely trusted me to execute their wedding based on my taste combined with their vision.


The BCC Youth group consists of current middle and high school age students. We meet each Sunday morning for youth-centered Sunday School lessons, followed by worship with the rest of the congregation. On Wednesdays, the youth meet at 7:00 for Bible Studies. We also have a Teen Girls' Bible Study that meets during the week outside of church at various times throughout the year.
The focus of this group is to learn how we fit into God's story and his purpose for the world. We encourage each other to choose words and actions, and make decisions that glorify God. Even in social activities, God's word is applied. The main priority of every opportunity provided by this group is to strengthen each teen's relationship with Christ.


When asked what WWCS has that other districts do not, Miller said, "The amount of love and respect that the educators, parents, students, administration, and community members have for this program. It also comes from the students and their love of performing. They all make the difference. It's ingrained in this community and we hope to continue that tradition."

Four Nights With the Duke (Desperate Duchesses #8) - Page 40
Four Nights With the Duke (Desperate Duchesses #8)
She would throw herself in front of the carriage first. Had she done this? By marrying Vander, she had ensured that Charlie would endure agonies of humiliation, not just once, but every day, for years?
Charlie's eyes opened again. "You can't keep me a baby, Aunt Mia," he whispered. "I have to grow up."
Her heart was thudding in her throat. Her marriage wasn't consummated. Charlie might be better off with Sir Richard. At least Sir Richard would keep him in the house, rather than throwing him onto the back of a horse or sending him away to school.
No. She had been right to get Charlie away from Sir Richard, no matter what.
Charlie had fallen asleep, so she reached out and smoothed the hair that tumbled over his brow and tiptoed from the room. She had to think, but Susan was straightening her bedchamber. She needed a place where she was unlikely to be disturbed.
Suddenly she remembered Jafeer. He was as distressed and lonely as she was. It took her a while to find a side door, but finally she slipped into the night. It was warm outside, and the sky was full of stars, like shining cherries in a bowl.
She walked the path to the stables, letting the evening air wrap around her shoulders. Weren't lamps dangerous in a stable? Yet the building was illuminated inside as if by daylight, and as she approached, she heard a shout.
Followed by the high whinny of an enraged horse.
"Oh for goodness' sake," she said, under her breath.
Still, she felt better. Someone needed her. Vander didn't care to have her around, for obvious reasons, and Charlie was growing up.
A couple of grooms came running toward her, down the corridor away from Jafeer's stall. They tried to stop her, but she brushed past them.
A moment later she stood in front of the stall. The stallion's eyes were wild, rolling, both ears flat back, his hide blackened with sweat. Mia put her hands on her hips. When he was two years old, Charlie had gone through a spell when he would lie on the nursery floor and scream.
Jafeer, she decided, was having a tantrum. Just as she had with Charlie, Mia waited until she caught Jafeer's eyes. Instantly, the wild loneliness drained out of his expression, and he brought his front legs to the floor with a thud.
The groom who had been hauling on his reins, trying in vain to control the horse, let out a string of thankful curses, turned, saw her, and started.
"Your—Your Grace!"
"Jafeer," Mia said, "just what do you think you're doing?"
The horse blew air and shook his head. He wasn't going to throw in the towel immediately. It was all her fault, apparently.
Mia stepped forward. "Come here," she said, reaching toward him.
He held out for another moment, letting her know that she shouldn't have abandoned him in a strange place where men shouted at him. With a huge sigh he lowered his head to her.
Mia reached her arms around his neck. "You mustn't behave this way," she told him. "It's not as if I can sleep in the stables with you."
As if he could understand her, Jafeer gave a little snort and lipped at her hair. Susan had left it down in a style that she swore was all the mode, but Mia thought was merely untidy.
She drew away. "There's entirely too much light here," she said, turning to address the stable hand. "Oh, Mulberry, there you are! Wouldn't it be better to extinguish the lamps? Look at poor Lancelot. He wants to go to sleep."
In fact, Lancelot was asleep. It would take more than a terrified, homesick horse in the stall next door to keep him awake.
"If I'd known that stallion needed a duchess to make him happy," Mulberry said, "I never would have recommended we buy him."
"It's probably just a woman's touch," Mia said, even though she didn't like that idea. Jafeer was hers.
Mulberry shook his head. "No, Your Grace. Since you were here this morning, we tried all the scullery maids, the downstairs maid, and one of the dairymaids. I tried to lure the cook, but she wouldn't come."
Mia ran Jafeer's velvety ear through her fingers. "I can't remain in the stables with you all night, silly boy. Mulberry, if you would be kind enough to extinguish all but one of the lamps, perhaps I can quiet him enough to sleep." She turned her face and dropped a kiss on the horse's whiskery nose. "You're sleepy, aren't you?" The Arabian's eyes drooped. It couldn't be easy having a daylong tantrum.
Charlie used to drop to sleep like a stone after his fits, back when he was two years old.
One by one the lamps were turned down and the stable descended into near-darkness. The men all left, with Mulberry the last to go.
Finally it was just the two of them. Well, the two of them and two dozen other animals, slowly breathing in a warm darkness that smelled like horses and clean straw.
Mia unlatched the door to Jafeer's stall and entered. The moment she was next to his head, he folded up his long legs and collapsed like a house of cards.
"You're going to sleep," Mia said, in a calm low voice. She sat on the floor next to him and leaned against his shoulder. He curved his neck around her, and she stroked his cheek. "Pretty soon I shall have to leave, and you will sleep through the night. I'll visit you in the morning, and perhaps again in the evening."
Jafeer's head slid off her shoulder to the straw as he fell asleep.
Mia just sat, hand on his neck, thinking about her life. She had sacrificed everything for Charlie—her self-esteem, her self-respect, her chance at a happy marriage. But it had been the right thing to do; even thinking about his shining eyes made her smile. He wanted to learn to ride, so she'd have to allow it.
Ever since the moment when she'd realized that her newborn nephew might die due to his mother's extravagant use of o.p.i.u.m during birth, and the doctor had chosen not to rouse the baby because of his deformity, she had taken responsibility. It began when she upended a pitcher of water on the baby's head and woke him up from an opium-induced daze.
As Mia saw it, there were times when only one possible road lay ahead, and so she had snatched Charlie from the arms of the nurse. And eight years later, she had faced a similar conundrum, and married Vander.
She leaned back against Jafeer, pushing the subject of Vander out of her mind.
Perhaps the count jilted Flora because he was an inveterate inebriate, along Chuffy's lines? But there seemed to be so much pain behind Chuffy's drinking . . . she couldn't manage it if Frederic was in that sort of emotional state.
Novels weren't like real life.
The darkest problems were like syphilis and lice. She couldn't touch them, not in the pages of her books.
Chapter Eighteen
DRAFT: WEDDING
Having grown up in an orphanage, Flora's knowledge of the marital state is near to non-existent. The image of a gentleman on his knees knocked together in her head with a vision of herself in a silk gown, being served by a liveried butler footmen in livery.
Flora had long dreamed of a man in an exquisite coat who would sit beside her, vowing eternal adoration.
She had never imagined this . . . this agony.
With trembling fingers she unwrapped the s.c.r.e.w of paper the priest handed her, his face riddled with compassion.
("Riddled" sounds as if he has pox, which no man of the cloth should have.)


Will 2013 be The Year Jesus Returns for His Church?
For me personally, I have considered the facts and have subsequently concluded that because of the presence of these "signs" (geo-political signs, social signs, economic & spiritual signs) we are on the 'Bell Lap' of human history as we know it… and we are coming around the final turn!
All this brings us back to the pressing question I began with: Will 2013 be the year that Jesus, the Bridegroom returns for His Bride, the Church? And with that comes the answer: We cannot know with any certainty. Nevertheless, though there are certain specific things we cannot know, there are certain specific things we can do: We can HOPE in the promise of the Lord's return, we can PRAY for the fruition of the promise of the Lord's return… and we can live HOLY, CONSECRATED, and EXPECTANT LIVES – lives that support our belief that Jesus could come at any moment; Lives that suggest to others that He might come today.

Jaideep Bose, the Head Editor of Times of India, is accused of 'protecting' harasser-editors.

Hyderabad: Times of India's Hyderabad resident editor K.R. Sreenivas, the first to be exposed for indulging in sexual misconduct at the workplace in the explosive #MeToo campaign, has resigned.
He is the first senior official from the Times of India editorial section to step down, nine days after he was named. Sources said Sreenivas had resigned stating that he was being "targeted". Hours after the Twitterstorm broke, he had been asked to go on administrative leave.
The Times of India has shifted another of its resident editors, Satadru Oija of Kolkata, to a different role in another city. He was also named in the #MeToo campaign. The TOI said this move was done to facilitate an unbiased investigation.
Earlier, Gautam Adhikari, the founding editor of DNA Mumbai resigned as senior fellow of the Centre for American Progress (CAP) after he was accused of multiple instances of sexual misconduct.
Sreenivas was first named on October 5 by writer-journalist Sandhya Menon who tweeted about the attitude of the HR department: Since I'm calling them out, let me tell you about @KRSreenivas who is currently the resident editor @toi Hyderabad (I think) who offered to drop me back after a day's work. we were about to launch Bangalore Mirror back in 2008 and I had just moved to this city.
