Old school vampires return in the Kiss of the Damned trailer!
I have been accused of liking everything, but I think that is because in most cases, I do get lost in films and find something to enjoy in almost anything. I think my scale covers pretty much any level of enjoyment (or lack thereof) in any film. While very few movies get a full 0, it is also true that very few movies get a 6. There have been many 5's, many of my all-time favorite films are 5's, but it is rare to find a 6 among even the best films. One film that has always been a 6 in my book is Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List, which is finally making its Blu-ray debut on March 5, 2013.
Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) is a shrewd businessman and a war profiteer. As World War II commences, Schindler initially sees it as an opportunity to make a lot of money. He is well connected and greases the palms of many high ranking officials in the Nazi party of which he is also part of. Schindler acquires a factory that makes army mess kits. As he employs more Jewish workers, he starts to realize the true cost of the war and decides to start hiring as many Jews as he can since they are deemed relatively safe if employed by Schindler. He continues to bring in as many Jews as he can at immense cost to himself, trying to keep them from the inevitable fate they would be doomed to outside of his employment.
Schindler's List is an example of a film that is so much more than a film. Not only did it portray real life events, it told a story that desperately needed to be told. People had to know that even amidst the worst evil the world has known, there was good operating as well. Spielberg also started the Shoah Foundation when he made Schindler's List, an organization dedicated to preserving the history of the Holocaust and documenting the genocide by recording firsthand accounts of survivors. To date they have recorded over 50,000 testimonials.
The film itself is a towering achievement as well. Every frame is a haunting yet beautiful portrait; every performance is taken on with a heavy heart and a yearning for authenticity. Liam Neeson brilliantly portrays the unbreakable determination of a man who never wanted to be a hero, but came to realize the value of life and dedicate himself to preserving it. The same goes for Ben Kingsley's performance and the courageous and equally determined Itzhak Stern, Schindler's stalwart assistant. In stark contrast, Ralph Fiennes horrifying portrayal of Amon Goeth, the commander of the Płaszów concentration camp. Fiennes is scarier here than any horror movie maniac could ever be. He does not see himself as a bad person, he believes what he is doing is good work. He even has the capacity to love a Jewish girl, but ultimately his beliefs even overpower that love. His performance is the definition of chilling and to this day is one of the best screen performances I have ever seen.
Aside from all of the stellar and too realistic to even believe they are not real performances, the other thing that is so incredible about the film is the look of it. Spielberg went with black and white for Schindler's List; a choice that I think artistically was very smart. For some reason I think it was much more haunting and stark in black and white, and I almost think if the film was in color it would have been too overpowering. I think technically this is easily Spielberg's most accomplished work, and I tend to think there is little chance he can ever top it in terms of pure brilliance. The fact that he was so personally connected to the material and so passionate about the project really made him a better filmmaker than he already was. Every single frame of the film is a beautifully composed work of art. Every set piece, every costume, every bit of light filtered through smoke was the right choice and awe inspiring to look at. Schindler's List is the definition of a masterwork and rightfully claims its place among films like Lawrence of Arabia and Citizen Kane, but does tend to surpass them in terms of overall importance. It is the heart of the story in Schindler's List and the combination of everything about it and how it all came together that really makes me think this may be the greatest film ever made. And I do not say that lightly. This really is the one film that every human being should see at some point in their life. It goes beyond entertainment, beyond art, and becomes something more. It is about humanity and what we have done wrong, and what we can do right.
The Blu-ray from Universal is perfection. Watching Schindler's List on Blu-ray is like sitting in an art gallery and watching the paintings dance. The contrast in the black and white picture is minutely detailed and rich beyond what I thought possible. The small parts that do incorporate color do so effectively and flawlessly, and the soundtrack is wholly immersive and can often be just as terrifying as the visuals. Also included are hours of essential supplements that are required viewing not only on the making of this landmark film, but on the work of the Shoah Foundation. There are not many films in my collection that I would actually claim to be proud to own, but Schindler's List fits that bill. No collection should be without this Blu-ray, it should be an essential element to any library.
Available March 5. 2013 on Blu-ray and DVD.


When it comes to safety, the old saying that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" still rings true. Simple steps to prevent injuries are often overlooked and keeping a job site clean goes a long way in preventing accidents and injuries. Maintaining a clean and organized job site at all times will help avoid unnecessary hazards on the job site as well as allow workers to be more productive since they are spending less time worrying about navigating through messes or avoiding dangerous materials.
Clients also appreciate an organized work area. Business or residential clients often stop by to gauge progress on a project under construction. Disorganization, dirt and clutter makes a bad impression, and this could lead to costly fixes on a current project. You also risk negative word-of-mouth that impedes future project opportunities. Ethically, you also want to prevent dirt and dust from penetrating air vents and mechanical equipment in a home or business building. Properly covering appliances and vent openings minimizes costly problems.
Keeping a site organized also prevents tools and other building materials from being lost or stolen. This will decrease the time and money needed to find or replace such tools. When everything is stored in its proper place, it is easier to keep track of equipment and materials required.
1. Its Beautiful: The first and best reason is because it will add beauty to your home. If done correctly, proper lighting will enhance the look of your home. Imagine how you will feel when you arrive home at night and see your home lit up to greet you. Lighting will also add a bright, welcoming feeling to anyone who visits after dark.
3. Decreases Chances of a Break In: Outdoor lighting will decrease the chances a burglar will choose your home to break into. Thieves usually choose an easy target, and a house that is well lit will not be attractive to them. Dark pathways and side yards just give thieves an invitation to lurk and wait for you to leave.
An electrical system can be one of the most complex parts of your home. Serious problems can lead to electrical fires and shocks. In order to make sure you and your family stay safe in your home, hiring a licensed electrician is the answer to providing safe and reliable service.
So what are the most common home electrical problems?
Power Surges are one of the most common home electrical problems (see our last blog). These are caused by lightning strikes and circuit overloads. Most of the time that these occur, they are out of our control. Using a power strip or surge protector for your electronics and appliances is the best way to avoid the risk of surges.
Another common home electrical problem is overloading circuits. Stop and think about how many devices you have plugged into your outlets. Circuits obviously become strained due to overuse. Many home's electrical wiring is built so that numerous outlets in a room can draw power from the same circuit. The circuit may them become strained to the point where it overloads. Minimize the amount of devices you have going into a single outlet to avoid overloading circuits. Or call an electrician to distribute the wiring so it is not just relying on a single circuit.
A serious problem that could occur in your home is loose wiring. There can be a risk of electrical fires when wires are frayed or exposed. The safest and easiest way to fix this is to call a professional electrician who will be able to locate the wire and remove the damaged section.
Another problem that can be found is excessive wiring. This happens prominently in older homes. If you look behind your walls you may find wires that don't seem to go anywhere. In order to make sure that more serious problems don't come up, the wiring will have to be followed to make sure it has a purpose, is properly connected and of course is damage-free.
Another problem that can occur in your home is when a set of outlets of lights simply don't work. Sometimes half of an outlet works while the other doesn't. The root cause of the dead outlet is not always the same. An appropriate fix may vary depending on the specific situation. Resetting the outlet might do the trick but sometimes an electrician should check to see if there isn't more to the problem.
A surge protection device shields computers and other electronic devices from surges in electrical power, which flow from the power supply. Standard American voltage for home and office buildings is 120 volts. Anything over this amount is considered transient and can damage electronic devices that are plugged into an outlet. Even though power surges are so brief that they are measured in nanoseconds, they can cause considerable damage to electronic equipment.
Most people think that the main cause of an electrical surge is lightning, but that's not true at all. Yes, lightning can and does cause electrical surges, but the voltage of lightning is so great that most surge protectors won't be able to withstand their power. The main cause of electrical surges? Electrical devices that require lots of power to operate. Depending on the wiring of your home, you may notice at times that your lights flicker when powerful devices turn on and off, like your air conditioner. When these devices are switched on, they demand a lot of electricity, which puts a lot of strain on the grid and can cause surges.
When should you use a surge protector? All the time. The real question is really which devices you should connect to a surge protector. You don't need a surge protector for your desk lamp or your standing fan, but you do want a surge protector for expensive devices that have intricate microprocessors, like computers, televisions, stereo systems, media centers, high-tech kitchen appliances, etc.
Surge Protective devices are used in commercial facilities to protect emergency lighting, computers, data systems and more.
Surge protective devices are used to protect machinery, telecommunications, control systems and more.
Surge protection devices are used throughout today's homes and apartments. There are two types used, plug in devices and hard wired protection.
More and more companies are leaning towards a nonsmoking policy. Going smoke-free lowers the risk of fires and accidental injuries, which can reduce your insurance costs.
Each year, smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke causes 443,000 premature deaths and costs the nation $193 billion in health bills and lost productivity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Everyone benefits when the air is cleared of secondhand smoke—even smokers, some of whom will quit or at least cut back. Workers become healthier, and healthier workers miss less work, are more productive, and have lower health care costs.
There's no data on how many U.S. businesses won't hire smokers, but the trend appears strongest with hospitals. As a result, 29 states passed smoker-protection laws.
100% smoke-free in all indoor areas, including company vehicles. Smoking is restricted within specified feet of entrances, windows, and ventilation intakes to prevent smoke from drifting back into the building.
100% smoke-free in all indoor and outdoor areas. Smokers must leave company property to smoke. This is often called a smoke-free campus policy.
Go to www.cdc.gov/tobacco for more ideas on how to help smoking workers quit smoking, including links to free self-help materials and other resources.
Welcome Spring!! It's about that time of the year again to get cleaned up and organized!
Having a lot of clutter makes it difficult to find what you need when you need it. What some people don't know is that clutter is also a safety hazard. Cluttered work areas increase the risk of fires and slip-and-fall accidents, so take this opportunity to eliminate clutter wherever possible. Move items away from exits, remove tripping hazards, throw away unneeded items and file needed papers so that they do not clutter your work area.
Offices may be contaminated with hundreds of different types of bacteria. Bacteria can be found on your mouse, desk, chairs, keyboards and phones, its everywhere. If you want to eliminate bacteria from hard surfaces in your office, spend some time cleaning them with disinfecting wipes. This is also a good time to get in your fridge, microwave, and coffee maker and really clean those out.
Not only does a clean, well-organized workplace look nice and make it easier to find the report you were supposed to turn in last week, it also is a huge stress reliever. And being less stressed will cause you to work better and more efficiently, can put you in a better mood, and even help you sleep better at night.
The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year. For most, it's also a paid day off work. So is dragging yourself out of bed at the crack of dawn really worth it? It used to be Thanksgiving Dinner, THEN Black Friday Shopping. Not any more… Stores are now opening as early as 4 P.M, giving employees not near enough time to spend thanksgiving with their families.
Black Friday is exciting, yes, but how much are you really saving? You can find some great deals on Black Friday, but it is important to be logical about your spending. If you do not put a specific limit on your shopping on Black Friday, your budget will likely be blown out of the water by impulse buys. Make a list of items you need and stick to it. If you can't pass up a great deal on something you don't necessarily need, then I suggest staying in on Friday and eating your left overs!!

Hoja różowa (Hoya carnosa) – gatunek rośliny z rodziny toinowatych (Apocynaceae). Często (błędnie) nazywana bywa woskownicą. Pochodzi z rejonu Azji Południowo-Wschodniej – Chin, Malezji, Wietnamu i wysp Japonii.

Morfologia
 Pokrój Silnie rosnące pnącze. Stopniowo drewniejące pędy dorastają do kilku metrów długości.
 Liście Skórzaste i gładkie, lancetowatego kształtu, do 12 cm długości. Pierzasto użyłkowane z wierzchu ciemnozielone, często pokryte białymi, drobnymi plamkami, od spodu jaśniejsze bez nakrapiania.
 Kwiaty Baldachowate kwiatostany wyrastają z krótkich pędów kwiatostanowych. Mięsiste, różowe, w kształcie gwiazdek z charakterystyczną czerwoną plamką w środku. Wydzielają lepiący słodkawy nektar, który wabi owady. Wielokrotnie zakwita na tych samych pędach kwiatostanowych, dlatego z wiekiem kwitnie obficiej.

Zastosowanie
 Roślina ozdobna: uprawiana jako roślina doniczkowa.

Kultywary
 'Variegata' – charakteryzujący się biało-zielonym ulistnieniem.
 'Tricolor' – o trójkolorowych liściach.
 oraz 'Chelsea' i 'Sweet-heart', którego liście są sercowatego pokroju.

Uprawa
W uprawie rośliny te preferują stanowiska jasne, lecz nie bezpośrednio nasłonecznione. Latem najlepszą jest temperatura pokojowa, zimą (w okresie spoczynku) – obniżona do 10–15 °C. Podlewanie systematyczne, umiarkowane, zimą – rzadkie. Zaleca się stosowanie bogatego podłoża z dodatkiem piasku i gliny. Ewentualne przesadzanie (do niewiele większej doniczki, w razie potrzeby) ma zły wpływ na kwitnienie i wzrost rośliny. Roślinę rozmnaża się z sadzonek pędowych lub wierzchołkowych. Do szkodników w uprawie hoi różowej należą owady z nadrodziny mszyc (Aphidoidea) i rodziny wełnowcowatych (Pseudococcidae).

Q&As with Greta Gerwig on 10/8 and 10/9
Q&As with Greta Gerwig following the screenings on 10/8 (joined by Tracy Letts, Lois Smith, and Beanie Feldstein) and 10/9
Greta Gerwig's directorial debut is a portrait of an artistically inclined young woman (Saoirse Ronan) trying to define herself in the shadow of her mother (Laurie Metcalf) and searching for an escape route from her hometown of Sacramento. Moods are layered upon moods at the furious pace of late adolescence in this lovely and loving film, which shifts deftly from one emotional and comic register to the next. Lady Bird is rich in invention and incident, and it is powered by Ronan, one of the finest actors in movies. With Lucas Hedges and Timothée Chalamet as the men in Lady Bird's life, Beanie Feldstein as her best friend, and Tracy Letts as her dad. An A24 release.

Joh. Jansen's View
Issue: 7, 1/1/1944 , Vol 20/1944 By: Ophoff George M, in Article
I shall now argue on the negative side of the positive proposition: Resolved that a local consistory has the right to act contrary to the Church Order in submission to Classis and Synod. I want to prove also this proposition false.
According to Joh. Jansen, though fundamentally and in the final analysis, a local consistory does not have the right to act contrary to the Church Order, it does have this right tentatively, for the time being, until classis meets, better said, until the synod meets, (which is every one or two years), for it can be expected that a local consistory, having departed from the Church Order, will, if rebuffed by classis, appeal its case to synod. But how does Joh Jansen succeed in circumventing art. 86 of the Church Order? By distinguishing between changing the Church Order as to its written letter and changing it in practice, and, secondly, by affirming that the article (86) forbids the former but not the latter. Now I have very serious objections also to this view of Jansen.
Firstly. As has already been pointed out, this distinction between changing the Church Order as to its written letter and departing from it in practice, is simply intolerable. The distinction, of course, is not present in art. 86. The article reads: They (the articles of the Church Order) have been so drafted that they may and ought to be altered, if the profit of the churches so require, but no particular congregation shall be at liberty to do so."
The distinction in question is simply a handy expedient for circumventing art. 86, but it is an expedient as dangerous and it is handy. And this: brings me to my second objection to Jansen's view. According to this view, between the meetings of synod, the local consistories and classes, in a word, everyone, officebearers and laymen alike may do exactly as they choose, so far as the Church Order is concerned. Once in a year or in two years, synod meets to restore order in the churches, if it can. After the adjournment of synod, a local consistory again goes to altering, augmenting, or diminishing the articles of the Church Order, in practice of course, exactly as it sees fit. It means that, in reality, the Church Order is a dead letter.
Finally, according to art. 86, the classis has no more right to change the Church Order than does the local consistory.
Thus all that a classis can say to a local consistory that has departed from the Church Order is, "you have broken your sacred pledge. Return!"
The classis then has not the right and duty to ascertain whether circumstances justified the departure or whether the article negated, is, as to content of such a character, as to forbid the temporary negation, and, on the basis of its findings approve or disapprove the departure. Doing so the classis by implication declares that it has the right to change the Church Order tentatively and in practice and likewise a local consistory. And if Classis, on the basis of its findings, approves the departure, it actually changes the Church Order in practice tentatively, of course.
So then, though a local consistory were able to show that the departure was fully justified by circumstances and was perfectly allowable so far as the article that was negated is concerned, the classis would still be in duty bound to censure the doing and advise a return to the Church Order, and this on account of the sacred pledge to refrain from private revision of the Church Order at all times. There is indeed a principle involved here. It. is this. May a believer break his sacred pledges, or is he in duty bound before God to do as he vowed. Certainly the latter.
Not even synod has the right to investigate whether circumstances justified the departure from the Church or whether the article negated forms a rule to which no exceptions may be taken ever in that its content is either directly or indirectly derived from God's Word, so that in negating the article a local consistory is pitted against God's Word—not even synod has the right and duty to investigate or allow itself to be informed whether such is the case and then on the basis of its findings either approve or disapprove the departure. For doing so, the synod declares by implication that a local consistory and a classis has the right to tentatively change the Church Order in practice. Thus, all that even the synod (the broadest assembly) may say to such a consistory is, "You have sinned; for you have broken your sacred promise. Undo your action. Return to the Church Order." And in so admonishing, the synod does not declare that the Church Order is the infallible Word of God, but that a local consistory is in duty bound before God to keep its sacred, promise. A sinful corrupt promise must be broken but a sacred promise never.
But someone may ask, what is a local consistory to do, if it discovers that an article of the Church Order ought to be changed for the profit of the churches? Rev. I. Van Wellen, who understands our Church Order, but who once upon a time tried so hard to free himself from the binding power of one of its articles,—the reverend points out the way in his "Commentary on Church Order" (I. Van Dellen. Martin Monsma). He writes: "When a change in the Church Order is deemed necessary, the matter ought to be discussed in our Church Papers, and at Elders conferences, Men's societies, etc. Then the matter should be brought to classes. If the classes agrees that the matter is worthy of Synod's consideration, the classis; should overture synod. Matters may, of course, be brought to classis forthwith. But we deem a discussion and a careful consideration of the issues involved to be desirable in most cases. Matters concerning changes in the Church Order may also be brought directly to Synod by individual consistories."
This is the right way. It is the only lawful way on account of the pledge. We may deal with the Church Order no differently than we my with our Three Forms of Unity.

• Apomorphine and strychnine increase startle response, while diazepam decreases the response in rats.
USES: Used mainly as a pesticide and a rodenticide. Also, used in some laboratories as a research tool to study glycine receptors.
EPIDEMIOLOGY: Exposures to strychnine are becoming increasingly rare, though deaths still occur. It can be found in some Chinese herbal medicines, in the slang nut from Cambodia, and also as a street drug adulterant.
TOXICOLOGY: Competitively inhibits glycine binding to the alpha-subunit of the glycine-regulated chloride channel in the spinal cord. Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord. It opens chloride channels allowing the influx of chloride into cells leading to hyperpolarization and inhibition. Thus, inhibition of glycine binding to this receptor causes excitation of the muscle directly stimulated by the spinal cord.
OVERDOSE: GASTROINTESTINAL: Nausea and vomiting occur uncommonly. CNS EFFECTS: Bilateral horizontal nystagmus and blurred vision have been reported. Muscle tightness/cramps, agitation, and heightened sensitivity to stimulation may precede severe neurologic toxicity. Neurologic symptoms occur quickly (within 15 to 30 minutes) and include agitation, severe hypertonicity of muscles, opisthotonos, and painful muscle spasms. Trismus and risus sardonicus are also reported. The patient usually remains alert throughout this convulsive activity. Auditory, tactile, or visual stimulation may trigger a violent motor response. OTHER: Tachycardia, hypertension, tachypnea, and hyperthermia are seen commonly secondary to neuromuscular hyperactivity. RESPIRATORY FAILURE: Patients may also present with bradycardia and hypotension in cases of respiratory failure/arrest. Involvement of the respiratory muscles leads to diaphragm paralysis resulting in hypoxia and hypercarbia. RENAL FAILURE: Acute renal failure can occur secondary to myoglobinuria, rhabdomyolysis, and crystalluria. METABOLIC: Additionally, a lactic acidosis can develop as a result of the neuromuscular hyperactivity and powerful muscle contractions. Respiratory acidosis is a terminal sign owing to diaphragmatic paralysis. FATALITIES: Early death are usually the result of respiratory failure. Late death are generally secondary to either anoxic brain injury or multiorgan system failure secondary to hyperthermia.


Synopsis: In Paris, family and friends gather to mourn the tragic passing of Charlie Price—young, handsome, charming, a world-traveler—who is presumed dead after an explosion. Authorities find only a bloodied jacket, ID'd as Charlie's. At the funeral, two teens who are perfect strangers, Lena Whitney and Aubrey Boroughs, make another shocking discovery: they have both been dating Charlie, both think Charlie loved them and them alone, and there is a lot they didn't know about their boyfriend. Over the next week, a mind-bending trip unfolds: first in London—then in Mumbai, Kerala, and Bangkok, the girls go in search of Charlie. Is he still alive? What did their love for him even mean? The truth is out there, but soon it becomes clear that the girls are harboring secrets of their own.
Disorientated. That's how I feel after reading this book and I'm pretty sure that's how Heltzel wanted me to feel. The start of this book was so interesting. I was hooked into the plot in the first couple of pages. I mean, two girls who find out that their boyfriend was cheating on them with each other after he's presumed dead? And now they are piecing together their memories of their relationship to figure out who Charlie really was? That's already interesting. I didn't need anything else. If this was a book just centered around Aubrey and Lena comparing their relationship with Charlie to each other, I would have been happy. Instead the plot takes a really weird turn and the girls go on this implausible trip around the world looking for clues about Charlie's death. As soon as the girls embark on this trip, Heltzel lost me. The mysterious force that is pulling Lena and Aubrey along on this journey isn't mysterious at all and doesn't seem to have an actual purpose. The book ends on a cliffhanger but it didn't make me want to know what happens next. To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement.
1) I really liked the development of Lena and Aubrey's relationship. They go through a lot together and Heltzel did a great job of writing their ups and downs. I found their bond very interesting and I wished the book focused more on that without the extra elements.
1) So, Charlie isn't dead and he's pulling all the strings to send Lena and Aubrey on this crazy journey. It's not clear why though. Is he crazy? Most likely but still. His motives are completely unclear, which makes it really difficult to understand exactly why he's created such an elaborate plan. Charlie as a character didn't make much sense to me either. How does he charm all these girls? How is he able to control people into doing what he wants? It's unclear and the reader is given no insight to his abilities which makes everything he accomplishes seem implausible.
2) Why does Charlie want to kill Lena? If he wanted to kill Aubrey he would at least have a motive. But Lena? The girl that really loved him and stayed loyal to him, he wants to kill her? This makes absolutely no sense to me.
3) Aubrey's huge secret that she's afraid of Charlie releasing. Well, it seems to me that her little adventure got her into deeper trouble than actually just coming out admitting herself what she did. I think that the book could have lived without this detail completely. In my opinion it didn't add anything to the plot except for extra drama.
1) "Charlie is gone. His hands, weaving through mine. The way he whispered in my ear just before moving to kiss my neck. The muscles of his back under my fingers. His arms wrapped around me on a cold day, the scruff of his facial hair against my cheek, tickling. Making me laugh. Wrapping me into his coat with him in the park, and pulling me down into the snow. His lips on mine as he hovers above me. His nickname for me. All of it, gone. Ripped away. And I didn't even know he'd been ripping it away slowly all this time. All the times he said he'd meet me and he didn't, all the phone calls I waited for that never came, the distance: physical and emotional and always brutal."


Like many families, ours has an ongoing history with Efferdent and our story is about to start another chapter. When I was a kid, my mom was always on my sister and I to brush our teeth. She set timers, had special rinses and toothbrushes. As we got older, we learned there was a solid reason for this. It seemed periodontal disease was something that several members of our family dealt with.
As an adult, I saw mom go through a lot with her teeth. When she was about 65, it was recommended she get dentures. Several of mom's teeth had lost practically all of the bone around them. Once she got her dentures, she felt better and was more confidant. She trusted Efferdent® Denture Cleanser Tablets to keep them clean.
My daughter Caitlin has had braces and after 3 years, they are finally coming off! As we talked about her retainer, her orthodontist told her how to care for it. One area he stressed was keeping her retainer clean. He recommended she use Efferdent® Complete Clean Anti-Bacterial Denture Cleanser Tablets.
I could not believe my daughter would be using Efferdent just as my mom had! With the Efferdent® Complete Clean Anti-Bacterial Denture Cleanser Tablets, her retainer will be cleaned with their effervescent cleaning action. How cool is that? When I had a retainer, if I cleaned it, I used toothpaste and a toothbrush!

Its 5 in 1 cleansing system is perfect for you retainers and other dental appliances too. Even stubborn stains are no match for the powerful oxi-action of Efferdent®.

Stiles Stilinski+Season 1
As seems to be a recurring theme in their lives, Stiles comes to Scott with a plan. He's eavesdropped on his father's calls and learned that they found half a dead body in the woods. Stiles is gleeful at this macabre news and drags Scott out to investigate. While they are in the woods, they get separated, and Scott is bitten by a Werewolf. Scott doesn't know what's happened to him, but Stiles at first jokes, then really suspects, that lycanthropy is actually the source of Scott's new powers.
Stiles takes it upon himself to research Werewolf and try to guide Scott in developing his powers. Stiles is both thrilled that his friend has had something this cool happen to him and worried that Scott isn't taking proper precautions. He warns him that anger and a rapid pulse will give rise to bloodlust. Once they have determined that Derek Hale is the killer, Stiles takes it upon himself to provide evidence for his father to perform an arrest. Scott suspects there's a body buried at the Hale House, and Stiles drives them out there with shovels to discover the truth. He recognizes the wolfsbane connected to the body, and because of his tinkering, the black wolf they found buried turns into the body of a girl.
Second Chance at First Line
Like Scott, Stiles also starts showing more interest and bravery in developing his social life. He has harbored an intense crush on Lydia Martin since they were small but has never taken any steps to be noticed by her. This starts to change, as Stiles introduces himself and attempts to make Lydia respond to his presence.
Pack Mentality
Stiles isn't shy about sexuality, and despite being in love with Lydia, asks his male friends if they find him attractive.
Stiles does his best to support Scott through the changes in his life. Despite earlier suggesting that Scott break off a date with Allison, Stiles gets behind the idea that Scott should have as normal a life as possible. He doesn't believe that Scott would kill someone and that this fear should keep Scott from seeing her. Like Scott, Stiles still believes that Derek is the murderer the police are looking for, and he doesn't think Scott should go to him for lessons on being a Werewolf. Even though they've always been a team, Stiles starts feeling like he's Robin to Scott's Batman, and he's not appreciative of the sidekick role, presumably because he was always Batman before.
When Derek gets shot with a wolfsbane bullet, Scott makes it Stiles's job to take care of him. Stiles is appalled and at first only helps Derek under duress. He claims that he isn't scared of Derek but always gives in to Derek's threats. Stiles displays a mix of concern and apathy toward Derek while Derek's condition deteriorates. It's clear that he doesn't want to deal with this, but equally that he doesn't want Derek to die in front of him. He continually updates Scott on Derek's status and urges him to hurry. Derek's final solution to the wolfsbane poison is to have Stiles cut off his arm with a saw. Terrified and not sure he will be able to withstand something so horrific, Stiles is about ready to do it when Scott returns with the cure. After Derek recovers, Stiles celebrates the victory more than either Scott or Derek seem to.
The Tell
Stiles was having fast food with his father in his police cruiser when the call comes in about an attack at the video store. Stiles goes along on the call and is surprised and concerned to see Lydia and Jackson at the crime scene. He gets angry when Jackson starts belittling his father but breaks the tension by pointing out the dead body when it is wheeled out. The next day at school, Stiles quizzes Danny on what he knows about what happened. Danny isn't interested in talking to him but answers his questions anyway. Stiles then asks if Danny finds him attractive, but Danny doesn't answer. Concerned because Lydia wasn't in school at all, Stiles heads over to her house. She's high on medication, which makes her more amenable to his company than she would otherwise be. Stiles is thrilled at the attention and touching until he realizes that Lydia thinks he's Jackson. While he's there, though, he manages to spot a video on her phone of the alpha. Stiles steals her phone and tries to decide what to do.
He calls Scott numerous times but gets no answer. In the end, Stiles deletes the video, despite how much it pains him to destroy evidence. His grades are good enough that he doesn't have to attend the parent-teacher conference with his father. Instead, he spends the evening home alone researching the Hale House fire.
Following the parent-teacher conferences, Stiles isn't talking to Scott because he let his father get hit by a car in the parking lot. He tries to maintain a stony silence in the face of Scott's distress, but when Scott finally tells him that he's training with Derek, Stiles can't take it anymore. He doesn't trust Derek and resolves to teach Scott how to control his shifts on his own. Stiles already knows that the shifts are connected to heart rate, so he steals a heart rate monitor from Coach Finstock and sets up with Scott in the lacrosse field. Stiles throws lacrosse balls at Scott until he gets so upset he starts to shift. It's both an outlet for his anger and a way to help his friend.
Scott keeps it together despite the pummeling. In Economics class, Finstock starts to berate Scott over his grades and lack of participation. He's still wearing the heart monitor, and Stiles watches the counter go up. When Scott's heart rate inexplicably starts to go back down, Stiles notices that Allison is holding his hand. This leads him to the conclusion that Allison is actually good for Scott's control. He puts this theory to the test by keying a senior's car and making them think Scott did it. Scott gets beat up, but by focusing on Allison, he doesn't shift.
When Scott decides that he finally needs to confront the alpha, he and Stiles head to the school after hours. Stiles sets up the PA system, and Scott howls. Stiles thinks it's 12 kinds of awesome how loud the howl was, although Derek, who was waiting outside, is less than impressed with their attempt to draw attention to themselves. Stiles tells him not to be a sour wolf. The alpha attacks Derek, and Stiles and Scott assume he is dead as they run into the school to hide.
Stiles risks his life to get the bolt cutters so they can lock the doors shut. After running for their lives, Stiles comes around to Derek's opinion that Deaton must be the alpha. Scott doesn't believe it, though. Stiles consistently comes up with on the spot plans as they search for an escape route. He is conscious that windows leave them exposed and directs them toward more closed spaces. It's his plan that momentarily traps the alpha in a small room in the basement, although his curiousity gets the better of him, and his taunts enrage the alpha all the more.
Stiles refuses to call his father through most of the ordeal, because he is afraid that it will only get his father killed. This causes a particular tension because he cannot explain to Jackson, Lydia, and Allison why he is so opposed to such an obvious solution to their problem.
Stiles seems somewhat appalled when Scott tells everyone that Derek has been killing everyone in town, although he has shown little concern for Derek up to this point.
Eventually, Stiles does leave a voicemail for his father, and they are rescued by the Sheriff's department. Stiles thinks they've done a superb job keeping themselves alive through the night, but Scott convinces him that it wasn't their wits that saved them. The alpha didn't want to kill them; it wanted Scott to do it, and Stiles is struck speechless with horror when Scott tells him that he almost did.
Stiles tries to cheer Scott up by taking him out to the woods and getting him drunk. Scott doesn't seem to be affected by alcohol, but Stiles gets himself pretty wasted. Stiles is aware that the full moon is tomorrow and tries to keep tabs on whether Scott's aggressive behavior is because of the break-up or because of the effects of the moon. He has a plan to chain Scott up to keep him from hurting anyone.
At school, Stiles waits for his father to come out of the principal's office so he can tell him to extremely careful as they hunt for Derek. He can't tell his father why this night, above all others, is dangerous, so he instead has to play off his dad's inexperience with the kind of serial killer they currently believe Derek to be. When Scott suddenly leaves the lecture hall in the middle of his test, Stiles runs after him. He finds Scott winding up toward a panic attack and gives him his inhaler to make him think he's having an asthma attack instead. The interruption of the panic keeps Scott from having a full blown episode. Stiles reveals that he used to get panic attacks often after his mother died.
At lacrosse practice, Coach Finstock informs Stiles that he will have his first chance at first line. He is overjoyed and cheers and can't wait to actually get to play after so long on the bench. Feeling high off of this, he asks Scott to ask Lydia if she likes him. Stiles wants to know if there's any chance that his crush from 3rd grade will actually turn into something. Instead, Scott makes out with Lydia, which Stiles figures out when he sees Lydia's lipstick messed up later on.
Stiles notes Scott's behavior becoming more erratic and aggressive throughout the day, and he tries to believe that it's all due to the full moon and not to Scott becoming a crappy friend. When Stiles goes to chain Scott up in his room, he reveals that he came prepared and handcuffs Scott to the radiator. He gives him some water in a dog bowl and yells at him for having betrayed him with Lydia. When he can't take it anymore, he goes and sits in the hallway and listens to Scott struggle, upset at the entire situation.
After Scott breaks free, Stiles goes looking for him but instead comes upon a crime scene in the woods. For a second, he thinks his father has been killed, and he hugs him fiercely when he sees he's okay.
Wolf's Bane
Thanks to Scott pointing the finger at Derek as the murderer, again, Scott and Stiles have to try to save him from the police, as well as the Argents. They learn that Allison's necklace has something to do with the murders, and Stiles tries to help Scott form a plan to get it from her. In the end, he suggests simply stealing it. When he gets home, Stiles finds Derek hiding in his room. He covers for him with the Sheriff, who is so proud that Stiles is finally going to get to play in a lacrosse game. Once his father is gone, Derek threatens Stiles, but Stiles snarks back at him about roughing him up in his own house. Further, he reveals his plan to trace the text that brought Allison to the school the other night, since it clearly wasn't from Scott.
The plan involves getting Danny to run a trace. Stiles read Danny's arrest report for cybercrime and begs him to help. When Danny refuses, Stiles gets Derek to take his shirt off so Danny can leer. Derek is aware of what he's doing, and Danny is aware that it makes him a bad person, but in the end Danny agrees to help. Stiles is quite proud of his improvisational bribery. When the text points them in the direction of Mrs. McCall, Stiles heads out with Derek to investigate.
There is no way that Stiles is going to be able to play in his first game if he's helping Derek, but he makes the sacrifice anyway, which Derek appears to acknowledge in the way he looks at him. It's short-lived, though, as Derek then slams Stiles's head into the steering wheel for having treated him like a piece of meat back in his room with Danny. When Stiles goes into the hospital to investigate, he tells Derek that Peter's room is empty. This is enough information for Derek to piece together that Peter is the alpha and warn Stiles to run. Stiles turns around to find Peter waiting for him and believes he's going to die. Derek saves Stiles from Peter, and Stiles does his best to run away.
Co-Captain
He must escape and leave Derek behind, because the next time he shows up is after Derek and Peter have visited Scott in the boys locker room post-game. The next day, Stiles and Scott save Jackson from Chris Argent. That evening, Stiles sees his father looking through case files and gets him drunk to get information out of him. He's aware of how horrible it is to do that to his father, but he wants the information more and learns that all the murder victims were connected to the Hale House fire and were likely perpetrators. His father tries to tell him that he misses when they used to talk to each other, but Stiles is too preoccupied to really listen, until his father mentions his mother. They never talk about her, and Stiles stops dead at the mention of her. He pays closer attention to his father then and stops him from getting more drunk.
When Scott learns that his mother is going on a date with Peter, he calls Stiles and uses him as a pawn to break up the date. Stiles rearends Peter's parked car, which earns him stern words from Mrs. McCall.
Following Scott's rescue of Jackson, Stiles argues for letting the Argents take care of Peter as they seem to want to do. Scott can't let that happen, though, because Peter has threatened Allison. Scott can't find his phone, which Stiles suggests he probably lost during the fight with Derek. He later surmises that Derek took the phone on purpose, because he knew he was going to be captured and was giving them a way to track him down. Or, more like, for Stiles to track him down, because Stiles had already pulled off the trick with tracing the text.
Much to his surprise, Stiles ends up going to the winter formal with Lydia, although only because Allison makes Lydia ask him. Stiles finally admits to her that he's had a crush on her since the third grade and tells her that he knows how smart she is. She's surprised and charmed enough to dance with him, although she can't stop thinking about Jackson. Stiles takes the let down pretty well. When Jackson comes back into the dance not having found Lydia, Stiles goes looking for her and watches as Peter attacks her.
He begs for her life and then tells Peter about his idea of tracking Derek through Scott's phone. Peter hauls him off to a parking garage so he can activate the GPS.
Despite all his threats, Peter offers Stiles the Bite. Stiles looks tempted and only pulls his wrist back at the last moment. Peter tells him he's lying to himself if he thinks he doesn't really want it. After he's released, Stiles runs to the hospital to check on Lydia. His father is furious with him, but Stiles tells him that everything is connected to Derek and the fire. Stiles grabs Jackson, but they are assaulted by Chris Argent. Stiles tells Chris that he thinks Kate broke the code and burned the Hales. Chris lets him go. Stiles and Jackson go make some of the molotov cocktails that Lydia tried to mix up earlier. They meet Scott at the Hale House and help set Peter on fire.

Home News Cristina Vane Releases Debut Album "Nowhere Sounds Lovely"
Cristina Vane Releases Debut Album "Nowhere Sounds Lovely"
Unlike most of her contemporaries, Cristina Vane has a taste for pre-war American blues from the likes of Skip James, Robert Johnson, and Blind Willie Johnson. Add a splash of slow western waltzes and haunting Appalachian melodies for good measure and she's tapped in to the very well from which rock and roll sprung. Born in Italy to a Sicilian-American father and a Guatemalan mother, Vane grew up between England, France, and Italy, and was fluent in four languages by the time she moved to her fathers' native United States to attend university at 18 years old. Vane's debut full-length album, Nowhere Sounds Lovely, explores the depths of her new home's musical history from her unique perspective. Americana Highways called Nowhere Sounds Lovely the "best guitar record" they've heard this year, and in Glide Magazine's review, they wrote, "Her sound is somewhat of a throwback, but her emotive, rich voice gives it a more contemporary sheet…there's also her finely honed guitar playing—earthy, not overly flashy, but with deep feeling and perfectly married on many tunes to her voice." Holler noted that "Vane's brand of blues is crafted from an eclectic melting pot of musical influences," and Lonesome Highway praised her musical depth and maturity, saying "She sounds like a veteran on an album that delivers twelve impressive tracks, traversing between traditional roots, delta and country blues and also rocks out on occasion." The Bluegrass Situation, PopMatters, The East Nashvillian, and WMOT all shared their love for Nowhere Sounds Lovely, and in a premiere of album-closer "Badlands," American Songwriter made a complementary comparison; "Like a young Bonnie Raitt, Vane sings from both her voice and her supple, bluesy guitar playing almost simultaneously–her sound as earthen as the South Dakota landscape…" Fans can now stream or purchase Nowhere Sounds Lovely right here.
After spending almost four years in Los Angeles, Vane began to feel stagnant and decided that it was time to take her music on the road. During that time she had built up a solid following on Instagram, so she reached out to her network of fans for help in booking a tour. An outpouring of support ensued, and she was able to book a five-month cross-country tour, playing at small bars, breweries, coffee shops, and clubs, in people's backyards, through these connections. She crashed with friends, kind strangers, or slept in a tent. "My favorite part about traveling across the country was reclaiming my American heritage, which was very difficult to figure out," she explains. "Anywhere I went I had my anthropological hat on, watching how people talk and interact. There were new places that sometimes felt totally familiar and sometimes completely foreign. Each pocket of the country has its unique flavor and discovering the musical stylings that go along with that really informed this record. I knew virtually nothing about country, old-time, and bluegrass music until I ventured to the American South, but seeing those different musical traditions on a local level was inspiring."
After completing her successful five-month-long touring campaign, Vane relocated to Nashville where she hoped to find a larger community of like-minded musicians. Working with Grammy-award-winning drummer and producer Cactus Moser (Wynonna Judd) on Nowhere Sounds Lovely was assurance enough that she'd come to the right place. "When it came to the album, I wanted it to be a reflection of who I am, not just of the old music that I've come to love", she explains, "and I'm essentially a rock kid who is obsessed with old music." Moser also played drums on the record and his style "has some grit and some rock, mixed with these really awesome references to traditional roots music," says Vane. The album was engineered by Rodney Dawson, and also features bass player Dow Tomlin, fiddle player Nate Leath, and pedal steel player Tommy Hannum. These musicians imbued her blues-rock sound with tinges of country and old-time for the first time in her career, reflecting the expansion of her own musical palette over a summer of touring.
Vane's perspective on American music is a decidedly unique one, but absolutely an authentic one; pieced together through sights, sounds, and experiences just like the pioneers of the music she so dearly loves. If Nowhere Sounds Lovely is any indication, Vane's ability to carry the torch of her forebears is strong—and she's just getting started.

Cactus has always been perceived as a fun plant. It must be their shape (and I am not going into that) or the fact that they so resilient and primitive looking or just because of their peculiar name.
As a matter of fact, I have noticed that only fun people decide to decorate with cactus shaped objects or textiles represented cacti.
So if you also want to join the clan and you are looking for some inspiration, here is a selection of ideas to make your life a bit more…pricky!

Wielka Brytania uczestniczyła we wszystkich letnich igrzyskach olimpijskich. Jako jedyny kraj zdobywała złoty medal na każdych igrzyskach. W 1908 i 1948 roku Wielka Brytania była gospodarzem igrzysk, które miały miejsce w Londynie. W mieście tym odbyły się również Letnie Igrzyska Olimpijskie 2012.

Pierwszym mistrzem olimpijskim z Wielkiej Brytanii został 7 kwietnia 1896 roku Launceston Elliot w podnoszeniu ciężarów jednorącz. Tego samego dnia Elliot zajął również drugie miejsce w podnoszeniu ciężarów oburącz, a Charles Gmelin trzecie w biegu na 400 m.

Najwięcej złotych medali dla Wielkiej Brytanii zdobył wioślarz Steve Redgrave - 5.

Najlepszy wynik medalowy Wielka Brytania osiągnęła na igrzyskach w Londynie w 1908, gdzie zdobyła 146 krążków, w tym 56 złotych i zajęła pierwsze miejsce w klasyfikacji medalowej.

Leonhardt's Label
https://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2011/06/leonhardt-label
In a column in the New York Times, David Leonhardt refers to "Edward Glaeser, a conservative-leaning Harvard economist."
The review here of Mr. Glaeser's book criticized it for "a series of unquestioned left-wing assumptions," including its claim that "there's no free-market solution for the great urban problem facing slums," its claim that "Over the past thirty years, American society has become more unequal," its assertion that in Israel "factions have wasted decades fighting over land," its advocacy of high-speed rail, its call for increased taxes on gas and carbon emissions, and its overheated rhetoric on global warming.
If Mr. Glaeser is, in Mr. Leonhardt's view, "conservative-leaning," what does that say about Mr. Leonhardt's own political leanings?
In any event, this is a standard tic of the left-wing press — conservatives must be labeled as such so that the left-wing readers can be adequately warned.

This is my second shot at the mom jean look, but these are just a little different! My favorite part is definitely the hem of the jeans! I think that part adds a really fun element. I want to wear these jeans with a black bodysuit and heels too, I think that would look so rad! I do wish they were a litttttle more high waisted though!
So, to begin...I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! If you follow me on any of my social medias, you may have noticed my stress and sparse posting. That's because this holiday season has been a lot different looking than normal. Around three weeks ago, my brother had surgery on his chest (with a VERY extensive recovery period) and then one week after that my dad had surgery to remove his prostate cancer. Well, during that surgery part of his small intestine was nicked, so he had to have another surgery and after his release, he got sick so he had to have another extended stay in the hospital. He is still in the hospital, so we didn't get to have our family all together for Christmas, although we did try to make the best of it. I'm praying that this situation continues to improve from here and to all of you who have given my family your prayers, you have no idea how much that means to us!
Also, I am turning 21 on Thursday! That is just crazy to think about. So, I get to ring in 21, then ring in the new year!


There are different ways of measuring quality or liability, and for the most part you see two methods--relative and absolute. The relative method is based on percentages. A Hollywood agent typically collects 10% of an actor's earnings. The absolute method is based on hard numbers. A contractor charges six thousand dollars to build a new deck or an attorney charges three hundred dollars an hour. Current methods work well in most instances, but there are several situations where it would make more sense to use the other method--percentages for absolute and vice versa.
Look at realtors. Realtors typically get 3% of the sale cost of the home. Some get four or more percent. During the housing boom, when houses were overpriced, realtors made a killing in the market. And all you needed was a realtor license. It was easy, simple, and quick. If you were a fast talker you could close on a house very quickly, get paid, and move on to the next sale. There is a very interesting chapter in the book Freakonomics about how realtors as a whole are not working for the sellers and buyers as they are for themselves and their profit margin. Realtors will spend more money to advertise and leave their own houses on the market longer to get a better price than a house they did not own. They do not negotiate the price for you, but benefit if you do. So when the housing bubble was growing, realtors were making out like bandits. Now let's take it one step farther. If you sell your house in middle class Podunk, USA for $400,000, your realtor makes 3%, or $12,000. During the housing bubble that house might have sold in less than ten days. So an average realtor could easily sell ten houses a year and generate $120,000 in income. Not bad for just needing a realtor license. And certainly aggravating to the rest of the world who work hard to earn their money. Now look at houses in affluent communities. Say Orange County, California, where the show The Real Desperate Housewives of Orange County in taped. Houses there sell for $3 million and up. that would mean the realtor would make at least $90,000 on that sale. I would bet that is a sore point even among realtors.
Perhaps a better way to determine realtor profit is to place a cap on the fee, such as $40,000 or 3%, whichever is lower. I just find it hard to believe that a realtor selling a $3 million dollar house is doing eight times the work or requires that much more capital to sell the house than the realtor selling a $400,000 house. I hesitate to say eight times the expenses because I seriously doubt that it requires that much more money to advertise to a wealthier buyer class.
You could also make the argument that a realtor selling $3 million dollar homes does not sell as many homes in a year as a realtor selling $400,000 or even $800,000 homes, simply because there are not enough "estate" communities. But that is untrue. Even with the housing market downturn, the estate communities are still growing because the wealthy homebuyer has no problem getting a loan and is far far less likely to need a subprime loan. Just as commercial real estate is weathering the subprime fiasco, so is the estate community.
There are similar inequities in other professions. A very common problem is that of lawyers. A large driving force behind medical malpractice cases is that in those cases, the lawyer charges a percentage of the settlement or award won by the client. It is not that people have become more disgusted with medical errors over the years, but that malpractice lawyers, seeking a higher payout, have inundated the public with advertisements promising huge financial compensations for wrongs they may have perceived or for treatments that failed to work. Though one could argue that an ignorant patient would not sue his physician if he was not aware of any wrongdoing, malpractice advertising presupposes that the prevalence of wrongdoing is unrealistically high. In many cases, the amount of damages requested or even awarded is arbitrary. And who can really show that with the growing knowledge that the lawyer will get upwards of 10% or more of the damages, judges and juries are not subconsciously inflating the damages they award? It is a very poor system that is feeding upon itself, creating a slowly growing bubble.
Beyond malpractice, there are the class action lawyers. If you have ever seen a class action lawsuit solicitation, it typically has a clause dictating the terms of lawyers' fees--a percentage up to a certain amount, or else a minimum on how much each client will receive in damages. Depending on the costs spent soliciting cases and due diligence to ensure true clients, each class action lawsuit can net hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Which also means that the defendants are almost always cash rich large corporations. Granted, if there was a dollar cap on lawyers' fees for malpractice or class action lawsuits, the majority of these cases would never see a sheet of paper with a law office letterhead. This could mean that the few true wrongdoing cases would otherwise never be settled. So as with employee drug testing, you test all the employees rather than wait for someone to overdose on the job. But the current practice of malpractice and class action suits is more akin to putting everyone on a methadone wean and then searching their belongings for drug paraphernalia.
It's much to costly on the system and public and reaps little rewards for anyone. Perhaps a percentage of the award up to a dollar cap may work as well for these suits. It might help staunch the oozing of greed into case solicitations and shift more money to the winning parties, especially if they deserve it.
There are so many other examples of inequity between relative and absolute systems around us, but that is for another day.


I feel smarter already. But is "iRobot" in our future?
How much is a petabyte ( insert joke here ) you ask? Turns out it's enough memory to store more than 13 years of high-definition video. It's like World Wide Web capacity! Study authors say the discovery could lead to a new generation of computers that would combine enormous processing power with low energy consumption.
I read the article about the findings by the Salk Institute scientists and after my head stopped spinning all I could think about was, "how come I can't remember sh*t"

Robb Stark Is Your New Prince Charming in Disney's Live-Action Cinderella
To me, Cinderella is the Superman of fairy tale heroines—I'm not mad, but the chick is BLAAAAAAAAND. That said, though, I'll probably go see Disney's live-action Cinderella adaptation (scheduled for release next year) because I'm a ridiculous woman-baby and magic is my food. Anyway, Richard Madden (a.k.a. the King in the North) has been cast as Prince Charming. Mmmmmmm, charmy!!!
Richard Madden, who plays heir to Ned Stark and chief adversary to King Joffrey on HBO's hit drama series, is set to play Prince Charming in Disney's forthcoming live-action adaptation of "Cinderella." He will star in the film opposite Lily James ("Downton Abbey") as the title character and Academy Award-nominated actress Cate Blanchett ("The Hobbit") as the infamous Wicked Stepmother.
"Thor" director Kenneth Branagh took over directing responsibilities for the film after "Never Let Me Go" filmmaker Mark Romanek left the project due to "creative differences." The script was co-authored by Aline Brosh McKenna ("The Devil Wears Prada") and Chris Weitz ("About a Boy").

Snoop Lion talked wistfully to Rolling Stone about his previous career as an actual pimp:
"I put an organization together," the Reincarnated rapper tells Rolling Stone's contributing editor Jonah Weiner in the new issue of Rolling Stone. "I did a Playboy tour, and I had a bus follow me with ten bitches on it. I could fire a bitch, f—k a bitch, get a new ho: It was my program. City to city, titty to titty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer."
..."I'd act like I'd take the money from the bitch, but I'd let her have it," he said of how he ran his organization. "It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp … As a kid I dreamed of being a pimp, I dreamed of having cars and clothes and bitches to match. I said, 'F—k it — I'm finna do it."
Just a reminder to the entire earth, for the millionth time: "Other people's unregulated poverty-driven sexual exploitation" is not a good Halloween costume or party theme. Please stop. Thx! [Us]
At the Met Gala, Gwyneth Paltrow crushed out on Miranda Kerr for looking like a beautiful cartoon bug:
"She was wearing a black Michael Kors dress that was sort of like a sparkling bandeau, and her whole stomach was showing," the 40-year-old Oscar winner told Entertainment Weekly of the 30-year-old supermodel. "It was really beautiful. It was a little punk-y. She's just so pretty, it's abnormal."
In fact, Paltrow complimented the former Victoria's Secret Angel during the annual event. "I was like, 'Is it weird to be that pretty?'" the Iron Man 3 actress recalled, laughing. "And she was like, 'No.'"

Wait, KENNETH BRANAGH directed Thor? Why was it so crappy then? I AM SO CONFUSED. Does Kenneth Branagh just not care anymore? Whoa. My mind is slightly blown.
Also, I had a moment of combined rejoicing and confusion before I realized that I had misread Aline Brosh McKenna as Allie Brosh for a half-second, instead of that Aline person. Sigh. Sniff.
